>>people with health issues will be on their own

Maybe the US sorts this sheet out, really about time
Carcinogens and other environmental damage tend to directly affect a country's population and are thus up to governments to regulate. CO2 emissions and climate change are a global issue with hard to quantify effects that can't easily be solved with national legislation. Separating greenhouse gas emissions from other environmental issues absolutely makes sense.
I would give different advice to someone getting a Bachelors vs someone getting a PhD.

For BS CS/EE (or any engineering field): do not overthink the "recession is coming" news. US employers always want young engineers, as they consider them energetic, willing to learn and work for less salary than late career staff. Look up and polish the in demand skills. Brush up on the basics (Python, databases, git) at least to the extent of being able to solve "one step up from fizzbuzz" problems. And apply. You might get less generous terms and no sign-up bonus, but you are almost certain to still land something that you can use as a springboard 2-3 years later.

For PhD in AI: I would apply to good companies only and consider deferring graduation for a year if your fishing turns up nothing. This requires both your mental readiness and your advisor's physical/financial one, but in general your advisor should be thrilled to have you work for him another year for a relative pittance of a graduate stipend. It should not come to this (the market is not dead), but I would personally take it easy and focus on the job search for another year in grad school over taking some soul-sucking job at a company no one has heard of.

My 2c. And good luck!

Lots of great advice here already.

The one thing I'd add is look beyond "tech sector" companies. Your skill set can be translated and refocused for any number of industries that will thrive in the coming years (e.g. food producers, energy, natural resources, healthcare, etc).

One way to do this is if your institute has a co-op program, reach out to the head and express interest in industries that could be interesting to get into. They'll likely be happy to help and connect a Top AI Expert with companies the university already works with. Of course you'll be doing more applicative work than theoretical

One thing I like about smolweb stuff, including Gemini, is that they really aren’t being gatekeepers. Sure, they have strong opinions (and they encode them in protocols) but it comes off like a DM trying to make a good campaign.

IMHO this argument is on the wrong side of the fence.

The advantages to auditing and long-term quality to a distro having guaranteed-usable backtraces are just too much to pass up. Absolutely Fedora needs to disallow -fomit-frame-pointer. I just don't see a 2-3% performance argument as being responsive there. Applications with performance tuning requirements at that scale are going to be more than able to, y'know, recompile their junk. Frankly most runtimes these days prefer to deploy static binaries anyway. The default distro isn't the place to be dithering over 2%.

But what this is really measuring isn't the cost of a "frame pointer". It's the cost of a ABI-compliant function call. And there's technology available that reduces the number of these damn near zero (with no impact to backtrace generation or debuggability), which would obviate all the argumentation over -f-o-f-p.

You must have been in the industry for the same time as me. Your ratio of interviews to offers is kind of encouraging, and at the same time depressing - I have just changed jobs and got a number of rejections. What bothers me most is the time wasted on throwaway "technical challenges" where the reasons for rejection are mostly outside of the specification, and a perfect solution would be in the order of a weeks work, not the few hours that they said it should take. I have a full time job and limited free time to put into these things.

> regulating interstate commerce

The same Interstate Commerce Clause that in Wickard v. Filburn the federal judiciary interpreted as giving the federal legislature the authority to regulate intrastate non-commerce; and in turn relied upon in Gonzales v. Raich that the federal government has the authority to regulate the growing and use of cannabis for medical purposes by one man acting within one state and according to that state's laws for his own person.

> More and more of society has transition to conducting business over state and national lines

This is true, but the above examples show that the federal government is intruding in people's personal actions with no commercial purpose that stays confined to one state, on the basis that those actions might exert a force, however minute, on interstate commerce. The federal government may as well say that they can regulate everyone since people breathe air which crosses state lines and therefore is under federal jurisdiction.

As a new grad I don’t think you need to do much different. At my Megacorp the college hire budget is separate from everything else. Even during the strictest hiring freeze college hiring continued.

I would advise shifting expectations a bit, it’s likely offers will still be good but not quite as lucrative as last year.

As for accepting any job- just because you’ve accepted a job does not mean you can’t keep interviewing (in the US at least). Even starting at a company doesn’t mean you can’t keep interviewing. I ran a college hire onboarding program a few years back. Of the 20 people we had , 3 had new jobs within 3 months of hire. We weren’t happy about it, but they got legitimately better offers and we couldn’t match.

So, maybe say yes to a “safety job.”

Once you start, keep your expenses low, although you don’t need to live like a pauper. Living with a roommate (or SO), picking less expensive housing, limiting bar/club attendance, and driving a less expensive car really adds up.

That all being said, my impression is that the AI market remains one of the strongest in the tech sector for “real” practitioners. I think you’ll be ok.
The best allegories are the ones that go completely off the rails, and only make the author's original point if you squint. (Even better if they're still good allegories, but for things their authors didn't know about.)
I feel like comments here are too focused on the $2 per hour aspect and not enough on the emotional abuse that this labour entails.
Sure, maybe it's an "average wage", but the people performing this work are suffering mental trauma because for hours upon hours they are subjected to reading stories and viewing images of sexual abuse, assault, gore. The people performing this sort of extremely difficult emotional labour should be taken care of. It is disgusting for OpenAI to pay so little and at the same time have such little respect for humanity and decency.
Deepest condolences; hope you're doing OK.

I missed the previous postings; this is an impressive piece of work!
You're free to express yourself within the technological limitations. Sometimes that's more freeing than having an overload of functionality. It also makes it more of an open platform because anybody can re-implement it if they want. That's plenty "punk" to me.

Alternatively, use the flying spaghetti codebase monster duopoly, also known as Chromium and Firefox.
Maybe you’re right. It’s partially laziness on my part — it takes a while to explain long-term issues, and those who are inclined to care about them are generally aware of who started Anthropic and why.
Any apps that can benefit from social interactions. A good example is DuoLingo. They built a social+ product for learning languages, have 50m MAUs and $250M revenue!! There are thousands of other learning apps, but DuoLingo is by far the best one out there.
I know, that will take some time though as it will need multiple deep reviews before it's released (as it's critical infrastructure and releasing it will increase the visibility).

Overall this will improve the security of the system, if only from the people I've seen offer their time (for nothing!) to ensure that this process is a success.
Perhaps a different phrasing: default to saying 'yes' while keeping in mind that you can always say 'no.'

This hypocritical application of different standards to US annoys me too, you see it all the time with Russia.

Somehow Russia gets to play "great power politics" (although I think, personally, they must've lost their great power license by now lol). But when the US even helps the country being attacked, it's immoral and we have to stay neutral on moral grounds? Wtf, pick a standard. If Russia gets to play great power politics, so do we.
Bingo. If getting the job requires you to know the hiring manager to even know about the opening, it is not a meritocracy. It's a birthright.

If you don't know the secret codes or secret power holders, you're just stuck on the outside looking in. And these secret codes have little to nothing to do with actual ability.
I would note that while Nix is very well designed, and may be incredibly useful in untrusted dev environments, it should not be used to compile anything that touches production. Nix got where it is so quickly by mostly ignoring basic supply chain integrity like author package signing. It is always one compromised Github account or single dev workstation away from a massive supply chain attack.

Nix, NPM, Brew, Pip, etc all have basically the same blind trust security posture and should thus not be trusted. I generally suggest Debian in a container for a dual use dev/compile container made of signed/vetted/reproducibly-built dev/build/debug dependencies.
That is exactly how things are/should be working.

The article was about Britain. As a matter of historical fact there's a link between the slave trade and industrial development in Britain. Maybe you're trying to defend capitalism or whatever with your hypothetical counterfactuals but that's what actually happened.

> Actually, they did - if you go back and look at the 2008 and 2012 election cycles, the Republicans ran incredibly moderate candidates

Neither the McCain/Palin nor Romney/Ryan tickets were “incredibly moderate” by comparison to past Republicans; by comparison to the 2016 and later party, sure.

> It wasn't until that approach kept failing they finally went back to their roots

While appeal to nativism and White Supremacy has been part of Republican campaigns for 5 decades (including 2008-2012), and focus on non-race culture war issues has been for a 3 decades (also including 2008-2012), the former u

We have more options for languages and editors than ever before that directly compete against commercial options. And a decent amount of the time, they're fundamentally better and widely used commercially.

I certainly do remember the main options being: buy commercial software, download an inferior freeware, or go through a huge effort setting up emacs to be a low quality version of one of the first 2.

Oh, and now it's ok/expected you don't have to use windows for everything, because that was the case for a while.

IMO, it's never been easier to use excellent software while avoiding corporate bullshit, so I'm glad we're not back then anymore.

You can run the open source VaultWarden server (https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden) on way slower hardware. It takes a while for the project to catch up in terms of API support compared to the official server, but it's great for self hosting.
Compare this to being a developer in Canada and working for a US company. Coworkers in the US make more as a base salary and pay less taxes than Canadians do even though the actual cost of living is not different. The argument there is its not about the value of the work delivered, its the cost of competing in a market. Say your average dev for that position makes 140k USD in the US, and in Canada, the average dev for that position makes 100k CAD (74.5k USD), most will pay that dev a modest amount over 100k CAD to attract the talent and compete in the local market, say 120k CAD, which is just below 90k USD. Is it abuse to pay them less than others who do the same work in the US? Most who do the work in Canada are probably in agreement that it would be nice to make the same amount, because who doesn't want more money, but in reality, its still a good salary in comparison to most other jobs locally.

Its not exploitation if you're paying people higher than their local cost of living and higher than other local jobs. If you're just appalled about people being paid an amount of money that to YOU, based on your cost of living isn't fair because you'd want to make more, then be appalled at capitalism as a whole and how much work is being hired outside of company's originating countries. The production of almost everything globally is outsourced to locales where the cost to compete is lower than in the originating country.
It's not necessarily for performance, more often these layoffs are a way to get rid entire teams and you can't do that through natural attrition.

The belief, as I understand it is that it is not the consumer's fault, but PepsiCo's.

Therefore, consumers should not have to change any behavior, but PepsiCo should have to clean up the bottles.

Within this belief framework, if PepsiCo wants people to still buy bottles but recycle, Pepsico is evading the clean up and passing it on to the consumers/public.

For the longest time, I thought the right answer was to let states regulate it as they see fit. I thought differentiation/competition between the states was sufficient to provide access to the service, while sidestepping the political conundrum. I thought abortion should be thought of as a mostly elective procedure, as both the red and blue political marketing would lead you to believe. But then life happened, which put me in touch with the actual medical details.

A basic scenario: A pregnant woman with ultrasound and genetic tests indicating severe birth defects. But there is still a "fetal heartbeat", an electrical signal that is necessary but not sufficient for life. It is now illegal to provide treatment for this condition in Texas [0], in favor of attempting to carry the non-viable growth to term and possibly dying as a result. So no, my characterization is not "policy extremism". Rather, what's extremist is this desire to prohibit straightforward medical care in favor of uninvolved collectivist woo.

The reference to third trimester elective abortion "baby killing" is political nonsense. If someone is "using abortion instead of birth control", they're doing it in the first trimester, where they can take a pill rather than waiting and undergoing an invasive medical procedure. As for third trimester abortions, Pete Buttigieg put it extremely well:

> So, let's put ourselves in the shoes of a woman in that situation. If it's that late in your pregnancy, that means almost by definition you've been expecting to carry it to term. We're talking about women who have perhaps chosen the name, women who have purchased the crib, families that then get the most devastating medical news of their lifetime, something about the health or the life of the mother that forces them to make an impossible, unthinkable choice. That decision is not going to be made any better, medically or morally, because the government is dictating how that decision should be made

"E-postage is a good thing": over the decades, many people have tried to solve spam by charging for messages. This always fails, as people vastly prefer to switch to a free system, whose network effects then dominate.

It's weakly linked to cryptocurrency. One of the early schemes was "proof of waste" for sending email, where you'd have to show some expensive mining-like calculation to send an email. Occasionally cryptocurrency people try to suggest charging for email or social media posts again.

A system which literally never sends my password information to any computers controlled by 1Password seems better than the LastPass nonsense, and more to the point, seems at least as secure as anything I would create. While LastPass was breached many times over the last few years, 1Password has never been breached.

Your sarcasm isn't helpful, and serves only to falsely conflate the insecure design and horrible history of LastPass with the best-in-class 1Password. Nothing is ever 100%, but 1Password is closer than anything else I know about, including most one-off systems used by people who don't use password managers.
> The stories of "getting three job offers after four interviews at five companies" are no longer reality.

Yikes. I have been in Software Engineering for about 11 years and never had it any other way and even then interviewing and managing applications was stressful. Having to apply to 10s, 100s of companies would destroy me. I am very, very scared of my company going under and me having to compete in this market. I hope it gets better soon and people stop doing the "learn to code to get rich quick" routine.
