This push is because there's a lot of people using weak, reused passwords out there, who are not willing (or capable in cases) of a self-managing a password manager. For the people in my life in this position, I would much rather them use lastpass or bitwarden or anything over continuing their current practice. The risk of a lost password from one of those services is much lower than of them getting hit by password stuffing or getting a password brute-forced.

For a technical person I would advise a better solution, but the reason these solutions are being pushed is for widespread adoption of better password practices.

I'll be mad when that happens. Which is how everything in the world works. The thing you seem to actually be afraid of is power not what people are doing with it. We literally have a system for compelling the behavior of private companies, public pressure and legislation. If the "Eye of Sauron" decides to turn on minorities or women they'll run afoul of Title IX and laws establishing federally protected classes.

Is there something currently unprotected you think the eye is poised to gaze upon? Like I get the "first they came for the fascists, the racists, the misogynists, and the homophobes" argument but the resolution is more likely to be "and then the world was better off" not "and then they suddenly turned their focus to family values."

There's always gonna be nuance on the edges and I think we would agree that in that case it's better to err on not taking action but trying to pretend that everything is grey and there aren't very clear things sitting in darkness does a disservice to people's ability to recognize and do something about obvious harm.
I recently saw a post on Mastodon where someone figured out they could build a simple Automation[1] on their iPhone to assist them in avoiding foods that contain allergies. They take a picture of the label, then the automation OCRs the text and searches for $ALLERGEN.

It seems the technology for making "screenshot APIs" a less zany proposition is emerging.

When the original 128KB Macintosh came out, I started programming on it in assembler because I couldn't afford any of the compilers. Being able to work at that level affected the trajectory for about the first half of my career, and I think for the better. Growing up in a world with free compilers (and complete-enough scripting languages too) seems very different.
Cmake actually 'fixes' weakness in pkg-config for me, e.g. converting -I to -isystem, big deal for me at least.
Seems predictable that this announcement would come right after switching to unlimited PTO. I would imagine this reduces the money that the company plans to pay out by quite a bit if they used to pay outgoing employees for unused PTO. Maybe I'm being unnecessarily cynical, though.

> What kind of business model is one that relies on exploitation of extreme poverty in order to succeed?

that's a very good question, but asking it as if it is a problem of OpenAI and not a problem of literally all of our economy sounds a little strange to me.
central banks' main task is to keep economies from im- or exploding. if there's suddenly a big influx of money they have to raise interest rates to balance that out.

development economics is not about the wages, it's more about market access. the problem is that many developed economies (looking at you USA) have protectionist tariffs which make it hard for developing ones to gain market share.
The simulation is, rather obviously, what's being referred to with the spiral-of-death -- it's not unusual for instance in Age of Empires II to encounter transient periods where-in steps take an order of magnitude or more than the period they're simulating on less-capable machines (due to some O(n*n)'s in the AI system).

In the end this is still a decision regarding how to handle player's falling behind; too far and they're effectively taken out of the game as they're no longer interacting within a sufficient approximation of the current state.

Under what design is "high ping" going to cause the game to run at lower "speed"? The only possibility I can see is where-in the turn period is, for some bizarre reason, also the granularity of the simulation step and you're also adapting the turn based on player latency (in aid of fairness, usually)

Having implemented such a system myself, a few times now, it has in practice performed sufficiently well.

DE is garbage in general so it's not really a fair comparison.
Created an account just to disagree with this. I’m sorry but this is a totally backwards attitude.
We need to get to a place where the labor of human beings has a globally defined fair minimum wage. It’s outrageous to me seeing the conditions at Foxconn where young college age children spend decades sitting on a production line doing skilled labor for a fraction of the US minimum wage in order to feed their families, where if they were compensated fairly they could spend that extra time getting an education to escape poverty. There’s no way to slice that that isn’t exploitation and the arguments supporting this won’t age well. It’s right next to slavery, it’s a high offense and we need to call it out bigtime and that we don’t really defines a low point in our moral stance. Because tomorrow we might just find that we are no longer at the top of the food chain and that generation are going to remember how we exploited their poverty to steal their time, keep them poor and keep them subservient.
If there isn't one then make one. It is a danger to society and I am not kidding.
In my home office I have a little Onkyo (CR-N575) desktop receiver and it sounds okay at best. I keep wondering if replacing the default speakers would make much of a difference? I'm doubtful because the amp itself isn't great.

I clearly don't know much about amplifiers, but the specs say "RMS output power: 20W+20W (1 kHz, 10% THD 6 ohm)" which is terrible, right?

> New grads have it a lot easier in the open market IMHO.

Maybe the top 10% of new CS grads have it easy, by virtue of having easier access to university -> big tech hiring pipelines for junior engineers.

But there’s no comparison to the ease of being a senior and having job offers flood in to your LinkedIn on a weekly basis. Getting a new job becomes a function of simply contacting the past 5 recruiters and asking for the interview.

I think this advice is highly dependent on career goals.

What sort of work is interesting to you, and why?

Going to grad school is only a good idea if there's something specific you're trying to learn. It's a means not an ends.

For someone who doesn't have real life work experience in their field, I don't think it's the best idea.

I think working in the industry for a few years (at least) and seeing the types of jobs and work that are available is a better approach.

After you have some experience and want to specialize in a specific thing (AI/ML, etc...) going to grad school might make sense, depending.

When I'm hiring, it's actually a bit of a red flag for me to see a resume with a graduate degree and no work experience - but the positions I hire for tend to be very practical business development types things, not really that appropriate for graduate level.

Unfortunately, that's 90%+ of the market.

Many hiring managers will be hesitant to hire you in that situation, because the assumption is that you're overqualified, under experienced, and will leave for a more senior opportunity as soon as you get the chance.

I was given the advice to avoid going to grad school early in my career, and I'm glad I followed it.
> With the code above, Rust does not know whether we want to clone Arc or the actual inner value, so the code above will fail.

This is incorrect. The code works fine as written; Rust will let you write .clone() and it will clone the Arc (without cloning the inner value). More generally, methods on a wrapper type are searched before methods found via auto-deref. It’s often considered better style to write Arc::clone(…), but that’s for human readability, not the compiler. There’s a Clippy lint for it (https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/#clone_on_ref...) but it’s turned off by default.
Gut reaction: I hate it. But I'll probably get used to it...

Agree. I got a CO2 monitor for my office a few ago and it was a real eye-opener.

It has made me notice "stuffy" air more keenly and helps me avoid it. If I'm stuck in a physical meeting room at work I take lots of walks and breaks. etc.

I haven't tried the CO2 sensor in the bedroom. We like to sleep with fans on and the bedroom door open, which I suspect helps somewhat (depending on how drafty one's house is overall) although is obviously not as effective as having a window open.
I believe it; but is interesting in the context that I have purchased ACA plans on the open market comparable to my company insurance, and they were far far below the cobra price. For reference a basically identical ACA healthcare.gov plan I bought for ~1k when COBRA charged something around $3k.
Bitwarden is the first password manager I ever used. Where would it use drag and drop and for what? I wish it would be better controllable vie keyboard-only. That is, when you use the Firefox add on and tab out of the Bitwarden popup and tab back in again it remembers the focus on e.g. the copy password button, you just have to hit space again and tab back to the terminal window where you need to use the password. But Brave doesn't remember the focus so annoyingly I have to grab the mouse.

So he's saying they didn't fix aging, they just fixed some simpler damage they did themselves. But in a previous experiment, the same treatment improved aging damage to the vision of actually old mice:

> Sinclair and colleagues injected the reprogramming-factor genes into the eyes of 1-year-old healthy mice, roughly the mouse equivalent of middle-age. By this stage, the animals had visual acuity scores about 15% lower than their 5-month-old counterparts. Four weeks after treatment, older mice had similar acuity scores to younger ones.

>>federal government actually hasn't really expanded their power

You have to be kidding me. I did not think anyone would honestly make that case. Many argue about how the federal government needed to expand their power but I have never seen anyone claim they have not expanded their power at all

That is new one for me, and not supported at all by the historical record, which for example was clear there needed to be a amendment passed to ban alcohol but then magically due to some very bad court rulings (like wickard) they could ban whole classes of drugs without a constitutional amendment

History is VERY, VERY clear that FDR massively expanded the size, and scope of government and held the supreme court hostage forcing them rule his way after striking down many of his laws originally as unconstitutional

No one that has studied American History can say with the strait face the Federal Government has not expanded its powers

Yes it does. A lot more.

> What’s different about the way TikTok collects data?

> TikTok’s data collection methods include the ability to collect user contact lists, access calendars, scan hard drives including external ones and geolocate devices on an hourly basis.

> “When the app is in use, it has significantly more permissions than it really needs,” said Robert Potter, co-CEO of Internet 2.0 and one of the editors of the report.

> “It grants those permissions by default. When a user doesn’t give it permission … [TikTok] persistently asks.

> “If you tell Facebook you don’t want to share something, it won’t ask you again. TikTok is much more aggressive.”

> “The application can and will run successfully without any of this data being gathered. This leads us to believe that the only reason this information has been gathered is for data harvesting,” it concluded.

And that's besides the point. All social media gathers data, it matters what they do with it. TikTok by law cannot refuse a data request from the CCP, a government that has used digital tracking to locate and imprison people.

TikTok's CTO even quit over the fact that when he tried to stop TikTok from leaking data back to the CCP, he couldn't: https://techcrunch.com/2022/07/15/tiktoks-chief-security-off...

If none of this matters to you, fine. If you trust an authoritarian government more than a democratic one, ok. Just don't pretend all actors in this play are the same.

>That is what science has taught us.

Er, no. While you may believe what you wish, the scientific AND medical AND psychological community disagrees with your assertion. There's more research happening into it in the past 10 years than in the past 100 years with some interesting research. Unfortunately people are operating off 50+ years of knowledge handed down in elementary schools or via religion. I don't expect this is an area of study for you, so that's probably why you're not aware of these advances. At one point in time people thought the earth was flat or that people were only righthanded. I'm glad to part of the scientific community that embraces increasing knowledge regardless of how it challenges preconcieved notions. That's what science is.

Regardless, your claims relating to Lysenko are extremely hyperbolic at best - for either group in the comparison.
BS? Based on what experience of yours?

I spoke with a US Civil Engineer who worked in Honduras in the 1980's, clearing paths in forests for electrical transmission lines.

He initially paid workers significantly higher than local wages-- US-level wages.

The result:

--> He was threatened with harm by bosses of local companies.

Why? He took all their workers.

The local companies couldn't compete-- they lost all their labor to his company which paid relatively (relative to Honduras) exorbitant wages.

His US company literally destabilized the local labor economy.

So, I wouldn't be so quick to jump to "that is BS", as in my opinion it exemplifies naivete & ignorance.

Understand your response, though my understanding is he meant AI would enable employees to be retrained using AI to create more value — not that the employees would be replaced by AI; meaning even a non-tech employee would become a tech employee using AI and as a result would become valuable enough not to fire After being retrained.
