I am delighted to hear that children are already adopting the new tech. Sure there will be kinks for a while where no one bothers with the reading or writing assignments. But shortly that will smooth out as everyone gets on even ground.

Writing those essays will become trivial and irrelevant and be replaced with more interesting tasks with the assistance of AI.

I always think of Star Trek; instead of long-division math questions they will learn skills like “computer, if the trajectory of this rouge planet is reversed and we assume that is was ejected after some massive explosion, calculate the possible causes based on previously observed similar events and report the top candidate cause and confidence interval”.

An example from my academic field: instead of biased, unreproducible research papers we could publish: [1] raw data, [2] hypothesis context, [3] model, [4] seed. The output result can be read based on your own AI chatbot preferences but the conclusion is consistent and reproducible.
“For many, the undeniable triumph that is pitching a series idea,
having a pilot ordered, successfully producing it, and then
having it ordered to series is nothing less than a validation:
not only their voice and talent, but also of their Way of Doing
Things. This often translates to an intractable adherence to the
notion that "my creative process" is so of the essence to success
that all other concerns must be made subordinate lest the
delicate alchemy that made success possible be snuffed“

Also seen in other fields as “I raised money for my company, so you will do this my way” doesn’t matter if the way is good.
Forget the name for it, but there is community based loan concept where everyone pitches in a little money to give one individual a loan based on luck of the draw with the pretext that in future prior past contributors have better odds of winning.

Needless to say, frequently is a scam.

EDIT: Here are examples:

I don't know if this is still the case, but my GCSE maths exams back in 2000 were split into "calculators allowed" and "calculators forbidden".

It can be useful to know how to use a tool, and can also useful to know how to do similar things without that tool.
> I've witness several cashiers getting their phone out to calculate basic change.

Don't point-of-sale devices do that already? The cashier inputs the total you gave them, and the point-of-sale device shows the exact change on its screen (and releases the cash drawer lock). It might seem useless, but it reduces the risk of an incorrect mental calculation (like R$ 100 - R$ 77 => R$ 33 instead of R$ 23). Some even display which coins and notes, and how many of each, the cashier should get for the change.
Ironic that the author calls PMs "not very smart at making product decisions" while the author is not smart enough to understand the role of sales or product.

Also, innovation is not an end in itself. The question is do, PMs add value?

The author is right that the founder is the best product manager and should only handover to a dedicated PM once the business is ready to scale.

Nope. In fact I'm still using IE11 on a very old (circa 2003) P4 box with only 2gb ram and win7, mind you I only use it on a very specific websites including HN, pinboard, teddit, invidious, nitter, wikiless and a few others, I've added these filter lists https://filterlists.com/tpl.html plus Spywareblaster.
Your description of what happened is a bit hyperbolic as well. I remember this event, but the details are pretty fuzzy. IIRC, it stirred up so much controversy precisely because no US laws were broken. So saying "engage in Neo-nazi hate crime and promote real world harm" is inaccurate. The content was garbage, no doubt about it. But let's not get hyperbolic in the other direction either.
I would hate and never use an utility app that requires me to constantly physically connect my devices in order to keep data in sync.
At low speeds does resistance to movement scale with turbulence/friction of surface area in contact with water rather than displaced volume? Bigger would then be better and need less and less power as a proportion to overall mass.
As far as I could understood:

* These are wind-assisted ships, not 100% wind-powered ships. They save some (maybe quite some) fuel when the wind is favorable and the sails are engaged, and use conventional diesel power otherwise.

* Rigid surfaces make more efficient sails than soft fabric-based sails, so somehow smaller area is required.

> It typically uses 256 characters exemplified by the font CP437

I have fond memories of code page 437 (CP437). Code 1 is a smiley face. So is code 2. How cool is that! Codes 3 to 6 are playing card suits. The higher codes also contained line and box drawing characters. This allowed writing simple text adventure games that could be embellished with these graphical symbols. The smileys, lines, boxes, blocks, triangles, etc. could be used to add character to a text adventure game.

Shameless plug: I recently wrote a small toolkit to render CP437 characters on a HTML5 canvas for a retro-style game project I was working on.

In college I used to help friends fix their essays. We'd go through line by line and examine if the actual words on the page were clear and said what they intended. All of them wound up getting As on the second draft and every essay thereafter. It was just about learning how to look at the problem.

We live in a world of emails and slacks and documents and text messaging. Literacy matters. Writing clearly matters.

What I would actually do with this is not use GPT to write your essay, but have GPT write a flawed essay and ask the students to rewrite it. Fix the logical fallacies, tighten the language, check the facts, etc.
At least in math they didn't learn those operations though, because they don't have a strong foundation in the basics to understand how it works. Mental arithmetic is often indicative of at least a somewhat stronger number sense, and this shows at upper level math courses. Even at the high school level, where I had to struggle with kids who were way too reliant on a calculator and couldn't do basic math because of it, and thus struggled to do anything more advanced or abstract.
That's not a panacea either. You either need the client connection file descriptor in another process, or incur the overhead of marshalling the query + query results over IPC.
So students should… not try to learn how to organize their thoughts?
I do my best work at night, offline.

EDIT: I think in knowledge work, a kind of "sow and harvest" model works well. Going around during the day collects little "seeds" of knowledge which are then synthesized (harvested) in quiet periods of deep work at night.
I think this is a misclassification of ADHD. Well at least mine. I tend to notice everything and be aware of everything with very little tunnel vision and I think it would work to my advantage if, and humongous if, I also didn't have a fear of any flying insect because I can't tune them out. Almost everything you seem to be describing is a tunnel vision. And almost everything you're describing there is something that I see neurotypical people have issues with that I have to redirect them until them to focus on things that I should have trouble focusing on. But again that's maybe me because I was diagnosed really early and I as a survival mechanism overcompensated my focus in a way because throughout my entire life everyone was telling me I wasn't paying attention when I clearly was so I had to prove it to everyone that I was paying attention to everything all the time.

Also my spear would be really well maintained and that is because I'm trying to improve it when I know there is nothing around and I would want to be ready for when there is a puma around and I would also be excited to try to want to test it to see if the improvements I made on the spear were actually improvements. Lol
yes it is, we've already seen this with the retiring of webmanifest v2. a kernel is less commercially interesting, and doesn't allow you to screw over your users for personal gain in the same way.
Block Microsoft, and use a virtual machine that you copy before every session.
Not to sound ungrateful, but they tend to be exclusively occupied by senior citizens. I do enjoy spending time with the elderly, but it's no replacement for peers in one's own life stage.

Yes, that is certainly true, but in this case it is irrelevant because it is my server's IP address that is being banned. I am sending email to people with whom I have been corresponding for years (like my parents) and it is being blocked simply because the IP address of my server changed.

They have the right but in reality can’t find another job within the short timespan and after which they become illegal immigrants and have to go back home. Sure, it’s not impossible but on average it’s very hard to break the shackles of the H1B visas.
Often these people put up high stakes to obtain these jobs and going back leaves them in debt. It’s a system designed to exploit

(Disclaimer: I work for Cerbos[1])

When we started working on Cerbos[1] the very first external bit of tooling we released was the Cerbos Playground[2] which does exactly what you say - allows you to see the requests and responses as they make changes to their policies, making it easier to test and refine their rules.

This is a great starting point to prototype and test whether a decoupled authorization system is right for your use case. Cerbos uses YAML rather than a custom DSL to try and address the fact that authorization requirements generally don't sit with developers, rather a product owner of some sorts who is going to want to be able to comprehend the logic behind the permissions model.

Payments just mean someone will defraud the person in question. Even if we assume no fraud, this person is still the bottom of society.
Many "product" managers are actually lower level project managers. Some companies don't know the difference.
I know yours is a common view. I just think it's wrong.

There are certainly some wealthy individuals who "exploited society". But I don't think that's a majority (depending on how you define wealthy.) I also don't think most corporations are just dumping externalities on society and reaping benefits. The age of corporations is also at least partially the age with the best standards of living and the best life for most people, at least in terms of wealth.
The problem is that the business processes (A) have been forgotten and (B) were always much too complicated and heuristic to automate.

Source code is NOT the solution to this problem.
Not when one cares about graphics programming.
The "all lottery winners end up broke" meme is just that, a meme. Likewise, the idea that the lottery is a tax on those who are stupid or in poverty is a meme. There's lots of people who participate in (and win) lotteries who are living very comfortable lives, certainly not in poverty. Yes, many people who end up with money will go on to lose it (whether inherited or from a lottery or a lawsuit or some other means) but that's not unique to those in poverty. As I said, generational wealth is the perfect example of this: many rich and successful families will lose their wealth within a few generations. Losing money is an activity enjoyed by rich and poor alike.
I enjoy your optimism and excitement, but as Joseph Weizenbaum puts it, this is most certainly the proverbial solution looking for a problem.
In my small sample size (established, profitable companies) yes.

Startups need young workers that will grind out lots of hours and pivot at the drip of a hat because the problem space is so large; there is no clear ‘right path’ forward.

But established companies with clear product lines etc. need people to keep the machine going. And there is a lot of skill in the over 50 crowd. The best programmers I know are in their early 50s.
Autocorrect gone wrong
Depends on the country/culture. In two different countries I know of (though, not the US) they do.
But surely the point of essay writing is to learn how to structure your thoughts into a coherent argument? If students aren't doing this, how will they learn this skill?

This change has been announced long ago. IT should have identified this issue and taken the steps to enable IE mode on Edge for this specific site a year ago.
Indeed, we need more such projects to clean our industry from non believers.

Alef for Plan 9 was going to be GC based, and even though it went in another way, Inferno and Limbo clearly fix that error.
Dunno about 'most' ... but myself and my cohort are over 50, and it hasn't been an issue. I think salary is a bigger issue then age - why

You could do the same thing with PNGs and different thunk types. Although in both cases you run a risk that some paranoid developer might filter out unexpected thunk types or additional data so in both cases it would be best to put the data in the image payload.

The other consideration is that Tumblr was always very “creator” oriented and while they might produce thumbnails of various sizes the original image is still available and not mangled by resizing algorithms. Other free image hosts are going to crush that image down the maximum amount tolerable to the human eye. Google even does that for paid photo hosting.
> We are all angrier than at any time I can remember, and it's not accomplishing anything

Because that anger is being directed towards culture war wedge issues. That's on purpose.

I'm more concerned with the direction rather than the intensity.
Was FreeCAD unsuitable in some way? It's been around forever, also based on OpenCascade.
Also great for kids who you can’t be sure wiped but you can be sure used a bidet, because you can hear the water spraying.
This is fun for me, not drudgery. Painting the garage sounds like a hellish nightmare. Maybe they could automate that someday, so I can be free to move pixels around.
Both can be true. Just because one is worse does not make the other ok.

A worse situation does not trivialize a bad situation.
I wrote something just like this with Discord, and I even got it to host full videos which you can play back in browser. It's a good backup service. [0]

I want to expand this in into a fully modular service that you write payloads and scripts for various services, so when you upload a file its spread out across many different providers. When you're downloading, you just go down the list check what still exists, and verify the checksum. This should be stable for many years.

I plan to take a look into facebook and see what can/cant be accessed there. I had this exact thought with youtube and thought about using a pixel reader to exact out data. Same idea for different image hosting services like imgur.

So exceptional people had a lot of private tutors/training hired by their rich families ?

That seems to be the critical takeaway for me.
I have hemorrhoids and bought a bidet about 2 years ago. I have not had a single flair up since I started using it. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Can't answer "most" but I know at least some that do; maybe I don't look it (which seems unlikely), but I've been hired over 50 more than once.
Well, 22 years of refactor make things possible ;)

Lot of wealthy 50-somethings that can live off their unearned income from their property portfolios.

Since 2000 house prices (when buy-to-let started to boom and many people now in their 50s and 60s bought in) have increased 283%. Average wages have increased 106%, and rents are far higher as a portion of wages than in 2000.
Thanks!

Your project looks very interesting as well.
I agree with you here.
Teach the kid to neither over estimate (arrogance) himself or under estimate (lack of confidence) their abilities. Shattered dreams come from setting wrong expectations and abilities, it's easy to be the best at a town level, but regional, national or worldwide level is another thing, be it academically, sport or arts.

Have fall back in place, that's also where rich and supportive parents come : blow money on different endeavors without sacrifying school.
Study end goals for what the kid wants to do, how to achieve these outcomes, what are the best paths, support the kids etc etc.

If we speak about sport at a professional level, an injury can kill a career, but still, if the "kid" is at a professional level, he has other means to be still successful in any cases, being resilient is also a skill.
One of the biggest issues that prevents this is that states cannot require residency requirements (e.g. must have lived in state for 2 years) as part of the criteria for access to such social safety nets.

tone more came from typing on a phone... but the parent, I read, a saying companies that are not turning a profit are mismanaging their money, which I was contradicting.

I randomly had lunch sitting next to a dude, while I was waiting for a movie to start, I was 24, maybe 1 year out of college. The service was slow because a waiter just had to leave. We both had been to the place and weren't concerned about the time. Started talking to him, we he was retiring. I was just starting. Dude was selling his company for $195M in 2001. Turns out he did compressed air/etc, and competed with praxair, who he was selling to. I asked him what his strategy was. "I invest in Me, not the market, it's the only thing I understand or trust". He kept expanding his business when he could, got tons of certs and trainings to do everything in the industry he could. He started from it from quitting as a sales guy for another company he disagreed with.

Anecdata yes, but You can't really grow a business without investing in that business and that means taking some profits and putting them back into the business.
Depends on how old the people hiring are in my experience. The number of times I've heard "ehh doesn't seem like a great culture fit" at US companies is a little ridiculous, it's the legal catch all for otherism. You've got your work cut out for you if you're over 35 and not a manager.

What is the alternative to businesses. A centralized authority that dictates what is made and who gets to make it?

All the reasons you say businesses suck are also the reasons why they work well. They need to react instantly to market pressures. If someone is making something no one wants they will crumble, if a new demand springs up businesses will instantly be created to meet it. I can't think of another system that is instantly responsive to a changing world and doesn't require much oversight.
Be thankful you don't have issues with intention and intrinsic motivation. ADHD is not a focus problem it's a motivation problem for the people it severely dysfunctions. It's a inability to hold your tongue when you really really really really want to mouth off at someone. Focus is and should be the last thing down on the list if people want to even consider that they have ADHD. Executive dysfunction is a real problem and just be thankful you don't have it.

If you consider small online communities as a sort of club, you can make a few friends there.

Otherwise Meetup.com was a good place to find groups of people. Dog owners and parents tend to find their peers at the park. There are WhatsApp and Facebook groups for just about anything else, but many of them spread through word of mouth.

The only growth Tories want is in their own bank accounts. They certainly don’t care about young people. Then they don’t really care about old people either, it’s just that they are still gullible enough to believe what they and the Murdoch media tells them to.
Americans are fake and the Dutch are rude (2022)
Stories have always changed with the times. I studied medieval lit at university, so a salient example comes to mind immediately: Perceval, by Chretien. He died with it unfinished, but it nonetheless circulated, and there are no fewer than four "continuations," each quite clearly tied to the original; and further still, Wolfram von Eschenbach based his own Parzival (probably the greatest work of medieval German literature) on Chretien's work.

The only difference in modern times is that we're often leaving the original author's name attached, which is, admittedly, rather insidious.
Excellent. I'm glad to have a name for that thing I'm criticizing every time I see the word "isomorphism" in a humanities text.
