This is a fantastic summary of the potential issues by some of the most respected people at the forefront of research on bias and harms in AI.

Some people are criticizing the short page for not being more constructive - there are some constructive things you can do and the authors know them and probably discuss them in the full paper. But there are also cases where using a predictive system is inherently unjust (or it is not feasible to fix its issues) and sometimes you have to make an ethical decision not to deploy (example: automated sentencing or bail decisions).
In a space without good regulation I guess this is as much as the free market can deal with, It's no solution though, all problems are nails in this

> The world bank will continue doing what it does, which is to keep status quo and prevent any developing nation from having any advantage over the west.

This is such a ridiculous take. No one is forced to go to the world bank. If the point is to suppress developing nations there’s a simple way they can evade its evil clutches. They simply don’t ask it for money.

I’m shocked anyone can with a straight face make these claims after we saw what happened with the Chinese alternative. When China decided to provide an alternative to the world bank, to which many developing nations flocked initially, they insisted you needed to use Chinese companies to hound the infrastructure they were providing you funding for, those companies often brought in Chinese labor instead of using local labor, they charged high rates of interest which they didn’t reduce, and then when the govt defaulted, the chinese govt took over the property.

That is the alternative to the World Bank and IMF right now.

And again, if you don’t like them, and think they’re just out to get you, don’t take their money!

Google could notice the paid link goes to the same page as the organic link and choose not to charge the advertiser as they are obviously not adding or creating value.

Instead, because Google chooses to charge for that first link, it creates a situation where the business owner knows they have to outbid the competition to get the link above their own.

This is great for Google’s shareholders, bad for the restaurant.
How about Cloudflare Registrar?
Today's google would be banned by 15 years ago's google. One rule they had was that the style of the ads on your website should not match the style of the website (clearly visible ads). Today most people do not realize that the first page on google.com is mostly ads.
I want to imagine that hardware engineering follows better practices than software engineering:

- no stupid sprints

- no agile

So, if a new "feature" needs to be implemented at the hardware level, then all the time needed will be spent thinking about the problem, the design to be applied, the architecture of the design... and only when everything is crystal clear and all the relevant aspects have been assessed (performance, cost, efficiency, etc.) then the implementation can start. Compare that to the "sprint circus" software developers are part of: almost no time for long-term thinking, everything has to be done within the sprint (usually 2 weeks), "move fast and break things".
> Can OBS have unimpeded screen recording access? How does OBS compare in Flatpak compared to natively installed.

I'm livestreaming on a regular basis, and moved from OBS as compiled by Arch Linux to OBS Flatpak. Everything just works (esp. the browser source that uses an embedded Chromium, which I never got to work with the Arch packages). Most likely that particular Flatpak is very liberal in its sandboxing, because it was even able to write into $HOME/obs-recordings/ without any permission prompt. I don't care about the sandboxing part of Flatpak too much in this particular case, so I didn't dig further.
Not sure if it's a Node limitation, but the Supabase blog post about creating their "Clippy" search interface has streaming results, and its backend is built on Deno. Their edge function seems to be using the bog standard OpenAI bindings. https://github.com/supabase/supabase/blob/bd83e9ba2f72634408...

*edit*
I spoke too soon, they are actually doing the final request via a fetch call, so technically they aren't using the OpenAI bindings. Seems pretty straight forward, though.

I always find the criticism of localised styles and so-called separation-of-concerns violations amusing, given that the vast majority of user interface APIs to have ever existed have you set the styles directly on the elements.

I think there’s maybe a few desktop UI APIs that use a similar approach to CSS, but having a separate declarative style sheet is almost unique to the web in the grand scheme of things.

I guess it’s mostly people with a document-first mindset to stuff on the web, but I don’t think CSS is a good way to style application UIs.

One of Ridley Scott's first (but relatively obscure) films was "The Duelists". This is a fairly unique film. Apparently a cinematic response to Kubrick's Barry Lyndon. It has a lot of future famous actors, and all the drama and manners around dueling in Napoleonic France.

The Duelists, 1977

France, 1801. Due to a minor perceived slight, mild-mannered Lieutenant d'Hubert is forced into a duel with hot-headed irrational Lieutenant Feraud. The disagreement ultimately results in scores of duels spanning several years.

>> well-deserved rewards

that's the problem in a nutshell.

What people think they deserve is a little like pain tolerance. Do you ever have pain and think, should I be screaming right now? When other people say they're taking pills for chronic pain, are they describing something I shrug off every morning, or maybe is their experience of the exact same feeling so much worse, or have I just yet to experience that much pain? All the variables are subjective; no one knows. There's no counterfactual.

Same with people's perception of "deserving rewards".
That was incredibly funny.

I can even agree with Trip Advisors' reasoning that their main concern are not fake restaurants, but dodgy reviews.

Nevertheless, this never should have been allowed to slip through the cracks.

This. And for big projects it comes with the advantage of locking everyone into the tailwind.config. Everything has tradeoffs.

But to me, removing the context switch is like an ADHD cheat code. I’ve grown to enjoy the ability to look at one block and know exactly what it looks like as well. There’s no key value search to know why some bit of text is red for example.

Do you think pervasive spying would have made it more or less likely that the Jeffrey Epstein case made it to the public eye? Running a paedophile ring is not some small thing that is easy to hide. In all the cases I've taken note of (in churches, schools, local clubs, etc) the problem is almost never that the crime is unknown, it is that the perpetrators have too many tools to shield themselves from consequences and discredit the victims. In the future, maybe tools like going through people's internet history or planting fake evidence using their online accounts.

Society shouldn't use surveillance to identify criminals. We'd look back at dragnets to catch runaway slaves or hunt down the homosexuals with horror (as, indeed, we generally do in states that successfully institute mass surveillance to catch criminals). As recently as a few years ago, 'criminals' were people found outside their own homes and places like China were successfully catching them much to the net loss for everyone. There is a strong - indeed, overwhelming - link between places with good privacy, good protection of freedoms and citizens living happy prosperous lives.

The people pushing mass surveillance know all this. It has been bought up every time some bright spark comes up with the idea of rolling out mass surveillance. These people understand the societal consequences that they are ushering in. Too many of them understand what they are doing to pretend they have pure motives. This is empowering the worst of the authoritarians.

I was reading your post on software that will run 20 years from now. What about perl?

My perl scripts, and maybe awk, too, are the only ones running after 25 years!
I was working for one production company making products out of concrete, and they had this SCADA system. They had 5 factories and 5 versions of the same software.
This software was made by one company, but as factories were built in different times, software was evolving as well, so when I joined the company there were 5 factories with different code bases, that were doing basically the same thing.
Oldest software was written in VB6, newer in .NET 1.1.

The problem was that making changes on all factories required making changes in code in 5 codebases, and it was impossible to merge them into one because of subtle differences how the production lines were working. Also it was impossible to run this software locally, so only tests you could do on live production environment. Imagine testing your software, there is a bug, and you just wasted 2 tones of concrete...

My solution for this problem was making a checklist of all the things that need to be changed and checked before changing, codebase by codebase. Also keeping the changes in SVN helped a lot for implementation reference. Good commit messages and comments in code were essential not to drown in this mess.

In the end, I hired an employee, taught him the ropes and "sold him" to this company. He works there till now and does exactly the same thing (8 years and counting) ;)

There's two distinct camps talking past each other:

- Devs who make relatively small e-commerce-type websites, who loves tailwind, bootstrap, etc. Good defaults, fast throughput, maintenance is less important

- Devs who make relatively big web apps, who hates them. Everything ends up customized one way or another, maintenance is most of the work, tailwind and bootstrap end up only getting in the way.

The problem here is that this distinction is seldom make explicit, and here we are.
It should be the business of other countries too, because their workers have to compete with Bangladeshi workers. It's harder for a German shipyard worker to tell the boss to pound sand when asked to do something needlessly dangerous without the right gear if their job can easily be moved somewhere where worker safety is just not a consideration at all.

Therefore German workers should use their government to stop this practice using whatever levers they have, which mainly means going after German companies.

Not to mention that forcing companies to internalize the full cost of breaking up ships safely will put pressure on shipbuilding firms to design ships that are easier to break up, probably increasing full-lifecycle efficiency without anyone needing to risk their life for a couple tons of scrap metal.

Overall, cool work! Especially the search space reduction part.

I haven't dive into the code, but only 818000/60=13633 attempts per second for 64 SHA-256 rounds plus one AES-256 decryption on a 2080 doesn't sound right. Learn some GPU and tuning the code can likely increase the throughput a lot.

Mind you, that's only 25x naive Python implementation on (supposedly) 1 core.

Also, hashcat does >1M hash/s for even higher number of SHA256 iterations, and hundreds of million attempts per second on single block AES-256.

Edit: An optimized version of this is very likely deployable on consumer-grade hardware. May still not very useful due to the forensics requirement, though.
It would look a little bit like a company that's got a fuckton of relatively well curated data about the world and maybe combining that data with some kind of "artificial intelligence" to maybe produce something useful to society like a reduction in the number of scams it gives advertising space to.

But maybe that's just me being shortsighted and valuing benevolence over revenue.

Those checks are already woefully inadequate. There are plenty of examples of abuse of authority/access that just happened to be caught and went on for years. Somehow you claim this is going to stop happening if we give governments MORE surveillance authority?

> Is missing deadlines common in software development?

Yes.

Depends on the org, but mainly, give realistic feedback, that includes what can be realistically expected to be delivered.

> What do software developers do when they are forced to write a code/project within an impossible deadline?

Keep calm and carry on. Deadlines are someone else's problem, if they don't want them missed, it's their responsibility to communicate clearly enough with the developers to set realistic deadlines and expectations.
To be fair, what you're talking about isn't exclusively startups but rather the ecosystem around VC-backed startups. Unfortunately there's always some slack whenever scale is adopted and/or prioritized, it's a tradeoff, depends on context regarding its necessity or not.

This is why it's important to really venture out with your network and environment. I used to feel this way regarding startups in general but going out of my way to meet people not in SV, SF, VC and going out of those places really help.

I don't think breaking encryption is a good idea, but I will say that until recently law enforcement could tap phones, rip open envelopes, and get a court order to break into your house and search it. There was never the level of privacy against law enforcement that encryption offers.
