It's not all or none. You could easily add some protected bike lanes here and still allow automobiles:

Or you could put those bike lanes a block or two over.

Lots of ways to do this without 'completely disallowing cars'.
It doesn’t feel that way. For me it’s all of apt-get and Linux binaries with the hardware support of Windows.
I think it’s pretty crude to conflate the literal civil rights movement and the campaign to “free” female nipples.

However, I will point out that that change, while good and necessary, also happened over time. MLK won hearts and minds, he didn’t flip an algorithmic switch and decide for the population.
How much does AWS make from just EKS? Tossing some change to support k8s ecosystem seem like a pretty good investment.
So is this something PG wrote before YC was so deep in the VC ecosystem, and that's why it makes sense for him to have said? What would he have advised a startup to do back then, after raising a $2M round? Would he have told them to keep their burn rate low enough to stay default-alive?

What would he say now?
It sounds like your approach is ok, but here's a few things I have picked up from experience:

* Always give an overview - a complete, but low-resolution version of the whole picture. Identify key parts of the picture by name and use those same names when you get into more detail

* Number and name things. If there are 3 points, tell people there are 3 points. Then cover them...1, 2, 3. Don't get into sub-points like 2.1, 2.2 so that people lose track of the fact that there are 3 points.

* There's an old mantra that goes "Say what you're going to say; say it; then say that you have said it". That's 100% the way to go imo. Tell people "I'm going to give you a quick overview of the 3 main points first; then I'll go into detail on each of those 3 points. That'll take longer. Then I'll recap in case anything is still unclear, then we'll have Q & A".

* When you transition from one thing to another, refer back to the outline you established so that people know where they are on the map, i.e. "So much for point #2. Now, point #3...". Or "So that's the 500-foot view. Now I"ll go through each of these points in more detail...".

* Don't try to anticipate the questions too much. You'll be wrong about what what's going to give people difficulty no matter what, so listen to how people react and adjust accordingly!
Indeed! I am just a cog in their work machine. But the reverse is also true. They're simply a funding source in my "life machine". I do get some joy out of engineering and building stuff but, the paycheck ensures the rest of my life goes well. They could terminate the relationship, but so could I. I don't expect any of them to show up to my funeral.
Given it is not ChatGPT and it is especially missing RLHF, I would suggest amending the repo name and description. Maybe “ChatGPT-like” would be more appropriate here.
What you're presenting is the Fox News version of "wokeness." Here's an alternative, from former Republican congressman Joe Walsh: "Being woke just means being empathetic. And tolerant. And willing to listen. And open to learning."

But that concern exists on the other side just as much! Companies get compromised, companies abandon projects. And companies, even though they make money from a project, decide that they could make more money by having it ship them data on the side.
Copilot Alternatives Are Catching Up
[OP here]
Some comments to address the comments that will absolutely come in:

- Github Copilot definitely has the market share right now due to epic distribution, but I'm talking about "catching up" in the sense of quality of offering and experience

- Favorites on one site are definitely not a 100% authoritative metric, but the numbers are large enough for this to mean something. It is interesting to see alternatives like Codeium and Ghostwriter having the same or more number of likes as Copilot even though Copilot has a much bigger brand.

Fun trivia: I got a Emacs user to switch to Vim because in one of our class projects using Prolog, Emacs kept trying to highlight it as Perl (though it might be valid Perl syntax now that I think about it…). When I showed him that Vim did that for an empty file, but if it detected "Prolog-y" content (IIRC, the comment marker or a `:-` did it), it defaulted to Prolog highlighting.

No idea if Emacs ever fixed it (this was 2009 or so).
>In fact, I hear anti white propoganda all the time, part of which is the fact that whites are overrepresented in finance.

You are the one offering white prejudice as if it was some sort of reasonable response to why chatGPT doesn't participate in furthering jewish stereotypes... not me. It was your stupid ass response, not mine.

>Im just saying that it doesnt make sense that chatgpt would just refuse to tell the truth in this instance because that truth could be used as propoganda.

Your own question answers itself. It's incredibly sensible why chatGPT doesn't answer those questions. It's not that it doesn't make sense. It makes perfect sense. You might not agree with it, but it makes perfect sense.

> And the same argument can be applied to its statements about white people but since white people are on easy street according to the political zeitgeist it will cough up facts about them all day long regardless of how those facts paint white people.

Lol and again you basically equivocate antisemitism to "white prejudice" just immediately after you insisted you did no such thing! The white prejudice you talk about is completely made up. Maybe that's one reason why chatGPT doesn't answer those questions the same way.
I wrote a web app that moved paper-based funding submission and grant management online. A second client wanted the same thing, so I wrote it again with newer tech. When the third client asked for the same thing I spent eighteen months creating a customisable framework, which is in use for increasing numbers of clients.
It looked as if the poster was in the tech arm, not the logistics arm of the company. Low-level jobs are scripted everywhere, fast food or not.
I’m not really that qualified either but fwiw the quotes in the article from the NREL paper on grid stability in low inertia settings ignore that the NREL also mentions that ERCOT has managed to deal with higher renewables penetration successfully using load response, and that we likely won’t see this as an issue in the US in the next decade.

Rest assured that ancillary services markets absolutely incentivize frequency regulation (if not inertia directly), and in fact a significant portion of energy storage returns so far has been from providing frequency control (and getting paid for it). Overall I also found this post to be fear-mongering.
Which also serves a useful purpose for devs, it's an easy way to avoid typosquatting by making sure you're not looking at a package with a similar name to the one you want but with only 2,000 views instead of 2,000,000
Lifestyle businesses have a big flaw in American culture though; our safety net is not enough to make "meets expenses" a tenable long-term approach. We basically have to aim for a big wad of savings for later in life, which incentivizes going for exits and cash-outs.

I think a good way to explain to non-engineers is look at writing software like writing a novel. How easy is it to measure the amount of good work produced by a writer? How reasonable is it to expect that any two average writers will be able to cooperate and produce a good work?

Then you can ask yourself, how would you help make an organization full of collaborative writers more productive? Would you measure their lines per day? Or would you spend your effort trying to make sure they like and understand each other?

How about a car washing robot that's basically an long arm on wheels?

my intuition is that niche applications are going to be easier to fill and less challenging. Is my intuition directionally right?
The question you need to ask yourself is why do you feel you need to be so verbose in your answers? When I was more junior, I felt over-explaining concepts/answers/etc in great depth would impart confidence in my audience that I knew what I was talking about, when in reality, it often did just the opposite because people tend to only want the answer to their question, not the entire philosophy and means of how it's solved. More to the point, you tell an upper management all the caveats, problems, and exceptions in the same convo as your recommended solution, and that will often plant a seed of doubt in their mind regarding your proposed solution.

TLDR: The man that truly knows his shit through and through is confident and doesn't feel the need to over-explain every detail unless specifically asked to provide such detail. Over-explaining by default makes me wonder "did you just learn this or something and are excited about it and want to overshare all this detail? Hmm, gonna get a senior person to review your proposal... complicated != cheap/fast/reliable"

TLDR TLDR: would you continue to use a search engine that takes 30 minutes per query to get you an answer or switch to the search engine that gives concise 1-2 min tailored answers limited to answering exactly what was asked? by far most people would use the latter. that's your audience.

>Excuse my snark, but not everyone has a static v6 IP. I don't.

My ISP doesn't have it either. (They've been promising it for 2 years but keep delaying working on it.) I have an HE tunnel.

Also you ignored the sentence after that, which I had written to hopefully preempt this response.

>Unless you happen to be behind a CGNAT or you're on a mobile network or or or or...

Your server needs to have a globally reachable IP, yes.

>This won't scale to more than like 5 devices without being a major work item if a key was compromised or needs to be rotated (what if it turns out the RNG device was bad on your kernel at the time? Happened to SSH Keys on RPi's).

Depends on which key, of course. If a device's key needs to be rotated, you only touch that device and the server. If you rotate the server's key, then yes you touch every device.

>And if that won't work you're gonna be stuck debugging the network setup.

>if a key was compromised or needs to be rotated

>Not everyone is that lucky.

Sure. I know these things that happen never or rarely (currently, never), so I'm okay with doing them manually when they happen instead of outsourcing. I don't make decisions for other people or claim that what I do is best for other people. You should make decisions for yourself by evaluating the pros and cons for yourself.
> I think it’s pretty crude to conflate the literal civil rights movement and the campaign to “free” female nipples.

I agree it's a bit of a low-brow comparison. But nonetheless I think the comparison is apt.
I only ever worry of the opposite: reversibility leading to chargeback scams.

The bigger issue with a watch that old (esp if it has been in a safe for 20 years) is that the lubricants have broken down and/or the gaskets have dried out and the watch is no longer waterproof.

If not, there's a business idea!
This only works if you don't live in a dense city. People in cities simply don't have space to store (many) bulk purchases, and the stores near them (i.e. that don't need a car) don't sell things in bulk (transporting bulk items by public transport is not feasible, and it's too expensive by Uber).

When I visit friends who live in dense cities they are very excited that I have a car, and often ask me to take them to make some bulk purchases.
Great recession grad - similar numbers. That experience has really scarred me till today, especially because I kept being told how valuable software engineers are, and how good I personally was in this field.

Today, I'm simply grateful to have a fantastic job, and strive to live below my means assuming that things can go back at the snap of someone's finger.

In terms of practical advise for a new grad, there are tons of startups and enterpreneurs doing really interesting work. They need good programmers but can't afford to pay as much. This sort of place can be a great place to kickstart your career, at least for a few years, till the broader picture gets better.
I was quite surprised to see signs at Aufbau Haus (Moritzplatz) saying that card payment is preferred. I refuse to pay with cards at point of sale anywhere I go; airports are making it quite difficult these days.

There are a lot of summarizers on the web. They work great on whole articles. The problem is, how do you summarize hundreds (and more) of independent/related smaller notes ?
I can't get my gf to use a Mac (she does it if she has to). It's just familiarity, there's no other reason. Macs have a million arbitrary and pointless differences to Windows due to their long history that are grains of sand in the eyes of someone who doesn't care about computers, they just get in the way and frustrate people.

I use Macs though and much prefer it. Apple still has a relatively disciplined and competent engineering org. Everything in Windows is kinda broken/unreliable and it seems to be getting worse over time. Their insistence on using C++ for everything even in 2023 is killing them - bugs like heap corruption in search services shouldn't be happening but stuff like that is everywhere. Windows 10 is indeed abandonware like the article asks, they only really improve 11 now.
> Why do you assume that a brush cutter is not familiar with IT or technological topics?

It's definitely not usual and it made me curious. Most of the people I meet who talk and understand IT also work in IT, or at least did once in their life.

I've never met a blue-collar worker who seems to understand IT. That doesn't mean that I'm saying that blue-collar workers are dumb or can't ever understand IT, the venn diagram is just very slim in my experience.

Sorry for asking I guess, I'm a bit confused by the fact that now two people have questioned my question, I didn't mean to be rude.

Take your pick. Even just in the tech sector in silicon valley there are many examples of collusion. Mind you this involves some of the most desirable employees on the planet.

But back to the central point the basic nash equilibrium is in the spherical cow realm of models as they relate to actual reality. There are some interesting additions to it involving time series and asymmetrical information to try and model real economic data.
Pretty sure clippy will tell you to rewrite it as:

`match` in place of `if` looks weird. IMO example with `zip` is better though.

Had a co-worker who was stationed there back in his Air Force days. He said one day there was a fire. It was nothing major, but as a safety precaution until it was put out (in case it reached the fuel tanks) they had to evacuate a safe distance from the base, and the only safe distance meant standing out in the shallows on the beach.
It depends on what you want to do. Some things can take too much time without investors, like building new kinds of nuclear reactors.
You might be able to raise seed money from VCs and not swing for the fences. If they are good VCs, they aren't depending on their seed investments to all necessarily pan out within a few years, if there is good reason to be more frugal. Series A+ is a different story.

That would again require an offensive to degrade Chinese military assets, not the defense of a position.

The Chinese are very unlikely to attempt a landing in force as the first line of attack. They are most likely to try to blockade Taiwan using air assets, naval mines, and submarines. Therefore the most likely US scenario is going to be breaking a siege, which is an offensive action.

If the siege doesn't work China will have to land forces in Taiwan, but even if we are assuming they can't get a beachhead despite holding a siege, they can still deploy and supply an estimated 300,000 troops from the air. This ought to be enough to establish a beachhead from the ground, or at least secure/improvise airfields.

For the US to be able to defend Taiwan, being able to attack and destroy Chinese naval assets is absolutely necessary. It is not possible to defend Taiwan otherwise.

I think some of the shown examples exhibit dark patterns in CSS authorship. For instance, unneccessary nesting happens when you use a CSS preprocessor such as LESS or SASS and basically structure/nest your CSS following the structure of your HTML (instead of writing a CSS file orthogonal to the HTML structure). That will generate bad and bloated CSS code which is slow. This habit exists since >10yrs (as LESS/SASS date back for around ~>10yrs).
Because LastPass is a bad actor that falsely claimed to have a "zero knowledge architecture" that couldn't be compromised if they were hacked, and kept their code secret so nobody could independently assess their implementation, and then proceeded to store critical user data unencrypted, which was promptly hacked and leaked, that means the risks must be identical with Bitwarden, which publishes client and server code in public, so anyone can inspect their implementation.

Why? Because of layoffs? Thats not a reason to unionize. Maybe what we should be doing is asking our CEOs, GMs, product people, etc why we need to go on these hiring sprees in the first place, which seem to put the entire employee base in jeopardy when "times get tough.

If the goal of these layoffs is to "do more with less", then maybe we as technologists should find a way to do that ourselves.

No, that's not going to happen. First we are too independent, too many libertarians. But the main reason is I think we still feel like there are lots of opportunities to find jobs.

I have to say this article was published in December 2019, and since then some projects for new green ammonia plants have been planned (although I must update this information).

Synthetic fertilizers are not just about ammonia: urea is needed too, and the existing infrastructure accounts for both, produced in close proximity. And using natural gas, the big problem.

Also, another thing: urea production needs carbon, currently provided by methane. If the source is the atmosphere, then producing green fertilizer would not only be carbon neutral, it could become negative. But again, if, if, if...

Where renewable energy is cheap and not easily exportable (e.g. Greenland, that recycles energy-intensive aluminum), this could be a way of exporting it indirectly and of diversifying the economy. Either that or hydrogen exports.

There is also the geopolitical perspective, since the world trade of fertilizers depend too much on states that tend to regard international law as optional: Russia, Belarus and Morocco (for urea and potassium, potassium, and phosphorus, respectively).
