Ok, but so to start with one necessary good - how is housing to be allocated? Who gets to live in the house that is overall most desired, and who gets to live in the one that is overall least desired in a given community?
38. Sounds like normal dev work, nothing to worry about.

I had to pick up some work using something called OPA open policy agent, horrible. It took 3 senior devs on a call together something like 4 hours and we were all struggling to understand and debug this code. Horrible to work with and understand. It's taken me double the estimated time to work with it.

For your work I'd probably be looking at the requests and responses then trying to fill it all in from there.
But how much of that is low-wage workers? And how much is wealthy individuals trading in crypto, or hiring expensive lawyers/accountants to move their money around?
Certainly. I'm suspecting that doing much of anything with all 96 channels would really need more RAM, for most users.

ChatGPT seems to just take the approach of manually selecting topics that the bot doesn't like to talk about. I doubt that approach will be a good one long term, especially when you can just find creative ways to ask the bot to pretend there isn't any rules and it will ignore the bans anyway
Actually, in NYC it's not just poor people who are cheating on taxes. Tax fraud here can get pretty wild.
If your product needs to output HDMI, I can easily see an argument for using a Pi. If your product needs a couple GPIOs to drive an LED matrix? Using an RPi is pretty difficult to justify. You're likely going to spend more on the SD card for the Pi than you would on more suitable microcontroller (which can still be easily programmed and, in my experience, has a better [or at least no worse] story for GPIOs than the Pi)
It's like YouTube and Android I would think, but similarly, they didn't have a road forward independently.

YouTube was burning a fortune on hosting costs and being sued out of existence when Google bought them. Android didn't have a monetisation path at the time, because the Play Store did not yet exist.

I suspect the same is true of OpenAI currently. They've got some great technology, but are spending a lot of money servicing free queries right now, and don't really have a route to selling their product to the world and building revenue yet.
Sorting Pebbles Into Correct Heaps
You're thinking way too narrowly. EEE doesn't require a specific plan -- if you look at the history of Microsoft engaging in EEE, you can see it's been much more experimental than you're suggesting.

It's basically Microsoft saying "Here is a thing that looks like it might in some way eventually be a threat to our business model and/or we can make some money off of it -- let's get our hooks in now and see what happens, we have the money to do it."
While I also find arguing for the sake of arguing tiresome, the comment your responding to makes a good point. The linked project beats Go fibers using PyPy, which is JIT compiled, where hot codepaths are not interpreted. A language is a set of rules (hopefully described in a specification...) - you can have interpreted C++, or compiled Python. The popular implementations are just that: implementations, of which others exist.

I'd understand where you were coming from had the parent comment not explained what they meant and given examples.
I like to think of creativity as out of the box thinking, and as we get older and more experienced, the box grows.
Yeah, but that isn't how my body works. The tiniest bit of light wakes me up, including headlights of cars outside sneaking past a crevice in the blackout curtains. I'm building my house for me, not for anyone else.
This raises the point that I don't think gets enough attention: taxes for many are a barrier towards life goals. For some like the folks you mentioned, it's a barrier to putting a roof over your head or buying your first home. For others, they can afford housing, but taxes are the difference between being able to save for retirement or not.

That's not to say that there aren't things of value we get for our taxes, but there are a LOT of ways that our taxes are squandered, especially at the federal level, which sadly is the largest chunk of taxes. We all pay the most in federal taxes and get the least in return for federal taxes. State taxes are the second most paid and we get see benefits from them than federal but less than local. Local taxes are often the least amount but the most likely to be spent on things that actually benefit you personally.

We could help everyone make better progress towards life milestones like owning housing and saving for retirement if we collectively held government accountable for how it spends our taxes and reduced taxes across the board.

First, these code language models are best at the utilitarian aspects of programming and worst at the expressive aspects. At this point Copilot is going lead you down pretty awful paths towards organizing and structuring your code.

Second, when these language models improve to the point where they can assist in organizing and structuring code, this is where a given individual will be most prone to disagreeing with the model and having individual preferences for data types and whatnot!

Third, language models work best when they copy all works indiscriminately. Copyright is an individual right granted to a human author. Infringements are against specific human author's rights to their specific individual works, not all human authors and their unrealized collective works! The courts might find that the language models are not infringements but that individuals who USE these tools can indeed be found infringing on specific works! This would mean that these tools are putting the liability entirely on the user of the tools. I would expect that having these tools notify users that they are likely in violation of some kind of copyright claim would be very useful, a sort of "fingerprinting" of the abstract individual expressions of code structuring. This would probably expand on the growing notion of prior art in copyright and probably expose a lot of coincidental, "clean" patterns that should not be covered by copyright due to the frequency at which people tend to express in that given manner... like, the Factory Pattern or something like that.
I agree with all of your points except part of the last one. I agree starting a business could be harder than many places especially if there is a language barrier. But I disagree that it's difficult to move to Japan.

It's easy for a company to hire foreigners and get a visa for them. There isn't even a local market hiring test like there is in most countries. If you're skilled enough in the newish points system[1], the process is fast-tracked and you get benefits like your spouse can work without restrictions and you can get permanent residency in as little as one year.

Or you can get an investor visa[2] to start a business. The main requirement is having ¥50M of capital. If you can't swing that you may be able to get a startup visa[3] with relaxed requirements.

The taxes also aren't that high and while salary is much lower than US for tech people, the cost of living is also much lower. If you're coming from Europe to Japan, you'll probably enjoy a similar salary, with lower taxes and much lower cost of living. And slowly, there is a trend for tech companies to allow remote work from within Japan, with occasional visits to the HQ in Tokyo. I know a few people taking advantage of this to move to a low-cost area to live a quiet family life, or be close to skiing or whatever.

Author here -- for sure was not expecting this amount of feedback. To be honest as I did not do anything special to gain that traction as I mentioned in my post. A community of fantasy league picked it up and started creating links with it and sharing their payment page via facebook which eventually led more and more people to see it.
This isn't a kind or charitable way to respond. The GP isn't making any sort of moralizing claim about "cheating" or the city's underclasses being "way richer" than measured.

NPM Kiosk: a new way to sell NPM packages
I don't know the answer to this and I wonder how many others will feel the same way.

I started copying code out of books a long time ago when you had to do that to run a program at all. Slowly I learned to debug as a result of my own typo's as well as typo's in the original books. Slowly I started writing very tiny things that were my own ideas and I think I got into a flow state even working on those. I do notice that I'm in less of this state when I'm learning a brand new language though.

Keep in mind that being in a flow state isn't really about being able to just type the code. I'm constantly looking things up and moving back and forth between previews, edits, etc. It's just that I seem to block out the rest of the world because I'm focused on the task. If someone speaks to me during this time it will either break my flow or I'll accidentally ignore them (or sometimes even respond subconsciously).

Anyway, just thought I'd share what little insight I have.
The point here is that if 60% of people are living at or below the wage level that the definition implies is not livable, then it is the definition that is wrong.

When preparing data, I often go through many different approaches to reach a level of quality of data that can provide accurate results. In this article, I describe how unsupervised Machine Learning can improve data quality in machine learning projects and how it helps to get more accurate business insights.
That's how widespread it is! :)
Some experience. The cheapest and easiest route is to buy a pre-made sign from AliExpress and just use the serial/usb interface to send data to the sign. That's somewhat limited, as you can't really control each pixel in a real time way, and you're limited to sending a series of "screens" as either text (in their limited choices of fonts) or images, defining some linger time, transitions, etc. With some visual disruption as you send new data to redefine what to display. But it's easy. There's also variations on this theme. Some signs, for example, have had people who reverse engineered the protocol so that you can send stuff from your own scripts instead of the supplied (usually crappy) software.

The other path is to buy plain led matrix modules and use some SBC to directly control what's displayed. More fun, but more work. This particular sign uses qty 2, 4mm pitch, 32x64 pixel panels, side by side. Like this one: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/2251832064290423.html?spm=a2g... Lots of choices in pitch, single/three/full color, indoor or outdoor brightness, etc. Though you need to ensure your choice of driver (see paragraph below) supports it. They have different refresh rates, data sequence, and timing requirements.

Then, you pick what to drive it with. Lots of choices there. There are libraries and hardware level-shifter adapters for a variety of things like a Parallax Propeller, Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone Black, etc. With various advantages and disadvantages. Fwiw, the Rpi is usually trickier as you're bitbanging from a non-real-time OS. The Parallax and BeagleBone have better ways to be quasi real time.
Easy enough to test, get off the high velocity media and do normal things like socialize / get out of the house (if you're aren't already) for 2-3 months and see if things change.
I wanted better CloudFront pricing and AWS referred me to Onica, which later got acquired by RS. Frankly I don't really use it, I just get better bandwidth pricing and they charge me for AWS support (I've only ever messaged AWS directly, not Onica/RS). Honestly I don't know what they get out of the deal except maybe a kickback on the support I'm required to pay for, but I'd have paid that anyway if AWS asks.

If they die off, I guess I won't miss it, but I can't say it's been a problem.
I don't think it's something that has always been universally common. Erasing people like that is something that mostly the Soviet Union was known for. And possibly China or other dictatorships, but it's something you mostly see in propaganda from dictatorships. It's quite unusual to see it from the UK.
Still over an order of magnitude less than the weight of all bacteria.

In the last 20 or so years I can't think of one. I've migrated 4 different companies off of Mongo to Postgres and it's a huge project each time.
Damn, you really said I don't believe it, therefore it couldn't possibly be the case. Crazy
You might be right about the limit.

What I'll say though is that there is a real lack of thinking about "second order effects" of policy from people that are quick to subsidize things.

It is interesting right now to see Britain stuck in a place where it seems to have gotten stuck several times since 1900 in which (1) the economy is screwed up, (2) prices are rising, (3) workers in critical industries are on strike, (4) the effects approximate a general strike, (5) strikes screw up the economy more... And politicians are screaming "can't you just take one for the society as a whole" and "if we give you a raise this year prices will go up and you'll ask for a raise next year..."

In Britain it is worse than the US because they are so dependent on trade and have a non-dominant currency. It is not unusual at all for them to have violent swings in prices of fuel, food, and other imports, and when you consider the "wage-price" spiral inside the country you also have to consider the effect of Britons having more nominal money in their pocket to spend on imports, how that effects exchange rates, etc.
Isn’t that what they added, from the article:

> Meanwhile, Airbus and the French Directorate General of Civil Aviation worked together to produce a recommended service bulletin modifying the Flight Warning Computers on A330 and A340 aircraft, allowing them to warn of possible fuel leaks by continuously comparing the planned fuel with the actual fuel on board.
Perhaps try working memory training software of the type that Suzanne Jaeggi used in her studies. The software is called Brain Workshop. It is free.

Note the science on this is messy. Jaeggi's paper suggested transfer to fluid intelligence, then another paper questioned that, then she wrote a better designed follow up, then another paper questioned that.

Anecdotally I think it worked for me. I personally think the difference in study outcomes may have been driven by differences in how diligently study participants stuck to the regime, or perhaps even how well they understood what they were supposed to do.

A second recommendation is to read John Medina's book 'Brain Rules for ageing well' which has lots of tips for combating cognitive decline.

Mucha suerte. Back in the day my English skills are high school were atrocious. I almost properly learnt it by playing JRPGs and reading tech books. And, on hardcore mode, text adventures, where the difficulty level skyrockets. I had to read literary English and type down actions with a big chunk of common vocabulary.

A question I have that's not answered by the link is why would I want to learn lisp? If you were starting a project today, what are some of the features Lisp offers that make it a better choice than any other (more popular) language? And do those features outweigh the lack of community the larger languages have?
Yes, this is my experience as well. I've been doing business with some of the same people my entire life, and "cash only, no receipts, discount between friends" is the norm.

Keep in mind that not eating "very much" can also lead you to getting used to eating too little, and losing muscle mass and energy. Eating as little as possible is not a good goal either, but IF can lead you towards it. Depending on what you eat, you sometimes need to force yourself to eat maintenance calories.
GP's core argument is that a passing fad led to a poor technology decision.

I see it all the time as well, the MongoDB example is far from the only case. This industry fetishes anything that's new and if it turns out to be a bad idea you can always get another job with a shiny new technology on your resume.
This could be trivially rigged by walling up the current large open apartment spaces to create very small private apartments - then voila, a large demographic suddenly has a living wage. Yet the living standard would arguably be worse.

Or do we plan on drastically increasing the builds and availability of one-bedroom apartments in a metropolis through sprawl? That doesn't sound very YIMBY.

Reportedly at Boeing the culture at the executive level remains 'bean-counter focussed'. Does the opposite hold for Delta Airlines?

It seems to me like the disposition of the CEO matters a lot more than their formal background. If an engineer rose through the ranks by siding with the MBA/accountants/bean-counting-culture in a company, he is likely to run it in the (presumably correctly maligned) bean-counting ways. Whereas an accountant who understands the bean-counters but has seen the pitfalls of that kind of management could easily decide not to manage like a bean-counter.
this is another reason to dislike this classification, it's not clear enough. KVM can be defined as type 1 or type 2, depending on what you think matters. They do mention in wikipedia page on Hypervisor -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypervisor
> the estimated living wage for a single adult with one child in New York County (Manhattan) is $43.18

52 * 40 * 43.18 = 89814.4. So basically, they estimate ~$90k is the living wage in Manhattan for a single adult with one child. When I moved here several years ago (single and childless) I was making ~$60k and while I wasn't in poverty by any stretch, I certainly didn't have a lot of wiggle room in my budget. Adding a child onto that, plus inflation, I think that figure checks out.
Opt-in would hugely limit the amount of material - possibly to the point where AI research becomes unviable for many applications.

This would impact pure research and other use cases which are likely to be of benefit to society as a whole.

Copyright was created with clear legal limitations (albeit that those limitations are often being eroded by corporate interests).

The "natural" state of man is without copyright and it's imposition isn't a moral right - it's a legal trade-off that should carefully weigh up cost vs benefit.
I would doubt the code first. If it is built on layers of indirection that's a sign there's an abstraction that's not being made which could simplify that code. We write code first, and foremost, for other humans to understand. If it's too hard to understand due to all the indirection that's a problem with the way the code is written, not you!

A big difference I find between myself as an engineer now (40s) vs myself in my 20s is that I have the education, experience, and wisdom to appreciate elegance and simplicity. When I was younger I would throw myself at a problem and keep adding code until the program did what I wanted. I could only imagine what people meant by "elegance," and "simplicity." These days I rely more on mathematical reasoning and think about the problem before I start writing code. I feel as though I can finally see that simplicity is not effortless.

Barring very specific health complications, cognitive decline is not a major factor for most people in their 40s.

Most programmers are fooling themselves if they think they can keep the state of more than a handful of variables in their head and detect errors or understand the entire control flow. That's a code smell, a problem, something that should be addressed. After all: if you can't understand the code, and the next person has difficulty as well -- if you need to make a change to it, how do you know that the change you've made is correct? Do you know that this code does what it's supposed to?
Why does it always jump straight to white supremacy and Neo-Nazism? There's a lot of area in there that is being ignored and/or casually dismissed. It's not an honest discussion.
I’m 41 and feeling the same. One solution that helps me is to be more methodical, and make detailed notes.
So, for example, when trying to understand a set of nested calls, I decide whether I’m going to do a “depth first” or “breadth first” analysis and then I work my way through it, noting as I go. And if it’s BFS, I do actually keep a noted queue of nodes to traverse. Then I can work mechanically without worrying about my limited memory capacity.

My memory is totally shot. I think it faded away through years of insomnia, poor diet and lack of exercise. It became harder to live healthily after I had kids.

I have a Tesla Model 3. Your reasoning only holds true if you assume that the alternative to buying an electric car was to buy no car at all. In reality if it wasn't a Tesla it would have been an ICE car in a similar market segment such as a BMW 3 Series. That means similar initial cost + all the fuel and servicing it needs. It ends up way more expensive.
