Look at it from the other perspective. The point of hiring freelancers is usually either,

1. Not going through the full hiring process, especially culturally.

2. Hiring someone who wouldn't want to stay at the company.

Point 2 is where your typical definition of freelancing fits in - you're a superstar who can't fit on their payroll.

For point 1, most companies just rather pay a company to do the vetting, onboarding, offboarding, managing, HR. It's often just throwing money for manpower.

The more well-placed a company is, the less likely point 2 will happen. These companies can afford whatever prices and benefits the superstar wants. Hey, I gave up freelancing to settle at a company.

So you end up freelancing for small and mid-tier companies, or something like Fortune 500 corporates who have good money but end up dead end jobs.
My hope is the increasing availability of WGS data allows for citizen scientists to work around the institutions. hEDS being a good example, the HEDGE study has too strict of entry requirements and thus misses the much more common but less severe types of hEDS. This is possibly by design as maintaining a rare disease classification helps with funding. They also work crazy slow for seemingly no reason besides the obvious that more time means more funding.

Recently some more advanced machine learning techniques have been ported for use in DNA population studies so I’m hopeful that’ll improve research quality.
If someone wants to learn how to write an essay they can more easily look it up on the most vast interconnected knowledge base that has ever existed.

I don’t understand the continued need for knowledge/educational gatekeepers.
> Well, sabotage could also have been done by the other side, to point out the russian incompetence and drive them out even earlier, but the risk/reward does not make this likely.

1. NASA wants Russia to maintain a presence on the ISS. Many of the necessary functions for operating the ISS are spread across both the US (international) and Russian sides. If the Russians left, that would dramatically complicate operations.

2. How would the US even get to the spacecraft in question? It's not like someone could casually take a stroll around the station and pop in a hole with a drift and hammer.

3. Even if the US could access the spacecraft in question, it's not obvious to me that US Astronauts would actually do the deed instead of blowing a whistle. It's not like they're CIA operatives. There's a great deal of camaraderie between the personnel of each side.
I was frankly amazed that Dave Cullen of all people was sent a review copy of Picard S3. Either Paramount/Amazon don't know who he is, or there's a legitimate attempt to extend an olive branch to "the fans" going on. Hopefully the latter, but if so there is almost certainly going to be a backlash from the teens and twentysomethings these franchises have been targeting (largely unsuccessfully) over the last few years.
I don’t get this, that dumb robot got trained and so is doing the job. There are some fundamental building blocks that every human needs to be trained in. We can question what these building blocks are but never apply a blanket statement that “if a robot can do it we don’t need to learn it”. We will end up with severely challenged humans and that would be the manifestation of robots taking over not because the AI became sentient but because we humans gave up learning.
Whatever the theoretical justification for Citizens United might have been, the practical effect is that it weakens the free speech.

Hey (one of the authors here)!

We use the podcasters access which you get as the podcast host after claiming your podcast on apple or spotify. Using your host credentials, raw data is fetched from google/apple and stored in a local MySQL database. Subsequently, you can run custom queries on it and even derive additonal information which is not presented on apple's and spotify's podcaters dashboards (e.g. correlating data, using historical data, etc.).

That's a reach. Yes, we don't have biological testing methods for these conditions yet, but that doesn't mean DSM is like "Salem Witch Trials".
The problem with using ChatGPT for "filling in details" is how often it is confidently, utterly wrong.

My friend tried to use it to write a legal letter and it completely invented a state law and cited it very specifically.

For him, it was annoying and amusing. For other people, mistakes like that could be very serious.
Although it is certainly written by a human being, this article gives me a similar feeling to ChatGPT essays. The tone is compelling and plausible. But when I thought about it, I realized it didn't make much sense.

> Rarely do we even consider that the cost of doing something might outweigh the benefits.

Cost vs benefit is the main thing that people consider when making decisions. It's a core decision making framework taught as early as elementary school social studies. Institutional decision making is rife with processes for assessing risks and performing cost-benefit analysis.

> Intervention—by people or governments—should only be used when the benefits visibly outweigh the negatives.

This advice is the decision making equivalent of "just don't write code with bugs." Easily achievable but pretty useless and completely impractical. Real world decision making involves operating under uncertainty at almost all times. If it didn't, the topic wouldn't be worth writing articles about.
Appimage isn't truly portable, it still usually depends on specific versions of glibc (and other dependencies that it assumes come with the host OS).
IMHO it’s because we have no real way to pivot with this stuff, and you said it well enough, I just want to add:

In my mind, you’re either an OSS person who “goes viral” and maybe gets picked up or a large “thank you” contrib to your “buy me a coffee” bucket.. or you’re actually trying to make a product but need to “market test” on the old (but hardly ever used anymore) “shareware” concept. Free market testing and occasional PRs is not a proper path to IPO or venture capital. It’s just that you didn’t realize it when you set out, or you did and you’re “meta gaming” the lifecycle.

With a (to be invented?) license that allows pivoting, I reckon it can be the kind of thing that happens, and is a potential known to any product with that license.

I just don’t see it being popular.
World population is projected to stabilize by the end of this century, so I'm not sure population is the main problem.

The issue is our consumption habits and how much GHG and pollution it creates - mostly by the West [0]

So a more concerted effort to transition away from relying on meat to feed the world is one step we can make [1]

Energy is another, which is happening slowly, EU for example is now accelerating the use of more sustainable energy sources - renewables and nuclear.

I see. I thought you might have meant something differently. Thanks for clarifying!
We do not know how they work.

We know how the underlying tech works, sure. But we don't really know why, past a certain level of complexity, the "just predict the next token" trick stops feeling like a trick when you actually, you know, sit down and talk to the damn thing.
Some people code like this and see no problem about it. They love to say "overengineering", "perfect is the enemy of the good" and "the business".
I am not a doctor, but I have seen some very negative reactions when people stop taking pharmaceuticals to use psychedelics again. I think the combination of your ketamine treatments reducing in effectiveness, the instability from moving, the adjustment period of discontinuing those medications, and the intent on taking such high doses of psychedelics is a concerning combination.

If you are unable to find the medical treatment you need in Indiana my suggestion is to relocate to a place that you do have access to the correct medical treatment.

Exactly, the firmware of the radio part cannot be freely modifiable. The manufacturer can release updatea for it.

From what I've seen: Acquiring new customers can be hard, and if someone is willing to pay for you full-time it's the easy path to just do that and kind of forget about adding on other projects (and the effort of balancing them etc)
"But the US public saw this massive balloon and demanded it be shot down"

You mean saw with their eyes or on the news? If it was with their eyes then it wouldn't lead to public demand since as you say "weather balloons fly through our airspace all the time." and there's no way to attribute it to another country. If it's on the news then physical size is not relevant but detectability and newsworthiness are. People would have cared.
You can usually make around 8-10% a flip but doesn't scale very well past around 750M. Also, i never wrote an actual bot to make the trades.
Contributor here: Purego doesn’t do anything to improve the overhead of calling into C. It uses the same mechanisms that Cgo does to switch to the system stack and then call the C code. Purego just avoids having to need a C toolchain to cross compile code that calls into C from Go.

I’ve actually been quite interested in Zig. If that built-in was added than it would likely be possible to grow the goroutine stack to the proper size and than call the Zig code. Very interesting stuff!

Joseph Stalin on chatGPT: this is heresy, exterminate computers
I don't think the view that just because we can automate the creation of a simple essay makes writing essays for students obsolete. It's not what Chomsky said but I've heard the argument a lot in the context. We are not requiring it because everyone is writing essays all the time but because it's an important, basic skill.

We can automate many math exercises, but it's still important to let students do it on their own.

One absolutely need to learn to communicating their thoughts in a coherent way. To argument and to develop thoughts. If plagiarism is a overwhelming problem we will just see students having to write an essay with pen and paper just like you do our math exam. Then ChatGPT won't help you.
GraalVM was known at the time as MaximeVM on Sun Research Labs, for example.
Yeah, the point of writing essays is to fatten some college administrators paycheck.
For certain things I think so. For me the fascinating and really useful utility of LLMs is their ability to synthesize answers to questions. This is something search generally speaking can't do. I find myself using ChatGPT to answer question like:

> Explain tar -xzvf

> Answer:
The command tar -xzvf is used to extract a tar archive. Here is what each option does:

-x: This option tells tar to extract the contents of the archive.

-z: This option tells tar to decompress the archive using gzip compression.

-v: This option tells tar to run in verbose mode, which means it will display the names of the files being extracted as they are extracted.

-f: This option specifies the file name of the archive that you want to extract.

So, the full command tar -xzvf is used to extract a tar archive that has been compressed with gzip and display the names of the files being extracted as they are extracted.

However for other types of information I much more care about being taken to a trustworthy source of information rather seeing a summarized view or worse, a synthesized view of various sources that might not agree with each other. References are useful, but it's risky to rely on what a bot says without validating the references at which point the utility of the bot for that type of query is questionable.
IIRC, it wasn't the cloud per se that did them in, it was the 2008 financial crisis.
I would use a do-while, because at least one char is always copied:

char c;
do
{
c = *src++;
*dst++ = c;
}
while (c != 0);

The post-increment is idiomatic enough in C-based languages that I wouldn’t worry about that.
Programmers like making them.
Is the high level structure of writing any more important than the low level structure?

Maybe it will tend towards everyone sounding the same. Which then gets amplified as LLMs train on writing that is essentially mutations of itself.

Me no like.
Sounds like you’re missing the point. A saw is a tool. A power saw is a faster tool. It doesn’t change the skill of the wielder, but may make certain actions more or less cost effective.

An essay is a demonstration of your ability to understand and analyze. Lowering the cost of cheating like this is ultimately worse for everyone. Forget about school, there’s someone with a real job typing random bullshit into of ChatGPT and using it having no idea wtf he is talking about.

This has a very old man yells at cloud vibr. We could debate whether Chomsky is really an authority on this topic given the course of history, but such a glib dismissal just lacks imagination. A very hard problem is now effectively solved the next steps hold a lot of promise.

This is like saying that phones can play songs, so maybe we should stop learning how to play musical instruments.

The robots can write shitty essays because they were trained on billions of other people's sentences. They can regurgitate human effort, not replace it entirely.

And we don't write essays so that the world is full of essays. We write them so that we understand and consider new concepts.
I imagine readers who've never babysat open source projects think that you "get contributions" and "free OSS patches, workers" but those things, for 99.9% of projects are 1-illusory, 2-when and if they materialize, usually more cost than benefit.

They would have gone under, Java would have been fossilized at version 6, GraalVM would never have happened, CLR would be left as the only high end polyglot runtime with top GC and JIT compilation algorithms.
The PR and marketing campaign around this is pretty good.

"The baby wasn't abandoned. Lovingly placed in box" stuff. Good shit.

If it must happen best it happen like this. I worry about increased abandonment but I assume few would do that if possible because of the very powerful biological protection we have against that.

It really is quite insane. I see my cousins once removed and the pride and joy I feel in their success and existence is tremendous. The situation must be truly dire for parents to leave their own children up for adoption.
It sounds like you're advocating a system of education, thinking, and work that is exemplified by 'Software Architecture Astronauts', people who have not recently or ever contended with the details, the nuts and bolts, of actual software development and maintenance.

To be honest, the idea that you can produce valuable intellectual work by outsourcing the details is absurd. This would have seen me absolutely fail my challenging philosophy and engineering coursework, and end up a fundamentally incompetent dilettante in work and life.

The Bing AI chat does. Also you.com.
It's a protestant (or WASP- white anglo-saxon protestant) history in the USA that has caused innumerable damage on medicine, education, and what is 'acceptable'.

In sex-ed, we're not allowed to talk to children/adolescents that sex is enjoyable. It's against protestant morals. If something feels good, we're not allowed to talk about it.

And in that same view, doctors should never give out drugs that make you feel good. We even have a term for this outside of doctors offices: sin taxes. Alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, mushrooms all make you feel 'good', but that feeling good is somehow bad.

So yeah, there has been a stigma on psychotropic drugs in this country because they make you feel good. And that is bad to the WASP types.

(And that's ignoring the fact that white isn't even a race to be racist against. White is a social construct created in Virginia to mean 'not negro and not indian's. Later was also 'not asian and not jew' and sometimes 'not Italian and not Irish'. But I digress....)

coincidentally - we've been using first sphinx and then manticore for over 15 years as well. in our case it's fed each night with XML generated by Java code from data stored in MySQL databases. we index over 294M pseudo documents.

Meat and stringy stuff gets stuck between teeth, not to teeth. It's the stuff that sticks to the teeth, provides cover and environment for bacteria to grow is (a big part of) the problem. The things that are actually stringy are usually easy to remove. Things that stick to the surface - less so.
The fact that you're making a comment about how your Christianity makes you feel outcast probably means you feel compelled to push those beliefs onto others, which is deeply unlike Christ. Remember the first apostles were people who found meaning in the message, not in identity

How many developers have contributed to that open source because of the liberal orginal license? Now they take all that work and make it commercial? Ok but in that case the rights should revert to the orginal contributors and the company should make licensing terms with them for the Commercial part.

Most of the controversies have been about this bait&switch Aproach.
Eh, I had sealant when my adult teeth came in. I still had a few cavities. My teeth naturally have very deep pits and fissures. Apparently that has some bearing on the likelihood of cavities. I wonder if that also effects the success of sealant application.
React is not FRP. It’s not truly reactive, functional components aren’t pure and have state - they are just sugar for OOP with mixins.
I don’t believe we should force students to do busy work that they will forget by the time they graduate because they have zero interests in it and don’t plan to ever use it again in their life.
> But if the license is referred to as the AGPLv3, then its Further Restrictions Clause – which allows users of APGLv3 licensed software to remove added licensing terms – should apply. If the court accepts that argument, it would be a significant reversal: PureThink would be allowed to fork Neo4J EE under the AGPLv3.

Huh, what if they removed that but still called it an AGPLv3 license?

Also does that apply to other GPL licenses like the normal GPL or LGPL?

I predict the rise of what I call "mental obesity".

Once the need to perform physical work vanished, those who did not consciously decide to train had a much higher chance of becoming obese. I expect that the mental capacities of some people will become less by the same effect.

What we will see is a separation between those who are taught why they write and decide to comply and those who just take the easy way out.
“The fact that you're making a comment about how your Christianity makes you feel outcast probably means you feel compelled to push those beliefs onto others”

Rather seems like you’re reaching to push your opinions to others. The logical conclusion you took out of that outcast comment is crazy.

I found this whole issue confusing. If the balloon was a deliberate attempt at spying, why was it made with solar panels and not batteries? That thing must have had the radar cross section of a school bus. Also why wasn't the balloon envelope clear? It just seems so odd to assume this was supposed to go undetected.
