You're phrasing this as disagreeing with me but I don't see your anecdote as contradicting me at all. A lot of people would strongly prefer to make $400k rather than $150k, and not just college grads. Not everyone, and maybe not you, but many people. Are we actually disagreeing here?
The 21st Century's Prophet of Doom Is Wrong
It is pop-sci, but to skip past the fluff and get to the meat of it, there are some interesting links to research further in the article, like this one:

Towards fungal computer:
Abstract
We propose that fungi Basidiomycetes can be used as computing devices: information is represented by spikes of electrical activity, a computation is implemented in a mycelium network and an interface is realized via fruit bodies. In a series of scoping experiments, we demonstrate that electrical activity recorded on fruits might act as a reliable indicator of the fungi’s response to thermal and chemical stimulation. A stimulation of a fruit is reflected in changes of electrical activity of other fruits of a cluster, i.e. there is distant information transfer between fungal fruit bodies. In an automaton model of a fungal computer, we show how to implement computation with fungi and demonstrate that a structure of logical functions computed is determined by mycelium geometry.

Best case what happened in the 70s if this keeps up.

Can't predict really as you said. You can bound expectations though.

Best outcome is perhaps interest rates get lower and things resume as normal assuming there is no other lockdown say.

I'm sorry but I'm not entirely sure who or what you are responding to with this. Could you explain a little bit of the context so that we can understand the point that is being made?
That’s a paper with very carefully selected examples. The point I’m making is not that this will never be possible (it will) but rather it is not happening right now and this article is just victims and journalists doing exactly what all scam victims do: look for a reason they fell for the scam that softens the blow. AI in the news? Must be AI!

Scams don’t need sophisticated technology to work, suggesting that scammers have access to some state-of-the-art technology that has only been demonstrated in a paper doesn’t match up with the reality of what scamming is.

Getting scammed is embarrassing and our natural response is to look for reasons beyond the obvious. These scammers don’t need state of the art voice technology, because this exact scam has been working for the best part of a decade across many different mediums. There’s a reason if you walk into a shop and try to buy $1000 in gift cards, or walk into a bank and try to withdraw $3000 in cash, that the teller will assume you’re the victim of a scam!

Protecting ourselves and our families from being scammed requires a sensible, realistic understanding of how they work: getting caught up in some AI fantasy misses the forest for the trees.

Go back to the month before ChatGPT was unveiled and you’ll find this exact same news article written weekly for the last 5 years, except it won’t mention AI, because it wasn’t hot then.

One can make a good case that in the long run everyone is better off with workers rights. The bullying that is so prevalent in the US workplace is deeply unhealthy and at the end of the day, damaging to productivity.
Lol, I came back to remove said snarky remark before you saw it, but you beat me to the punch.

I was frustrated by the naivety of your question in that it implies many folks have no idea what therapy is (and often take a negative attitude, which you’re not doing) and I took it out on you. Sorry.

I would respectfully submit that this is exactly where functional programming shines.
I dunno if that's what its "for," but it's quickly becoming a point of differentiation between their competitors, if it hasn't always been.

It's likely that having a lot of cards with annual fees attached to them, plus not being an easy target by those manufactured spend weirdos, plus having a fairly high "minimum bar" for customer quality means that they've got their customers' backs an inch further than Discover does.

For comparison, Discover gave me a ~$20,000 credit limit when I was 19 and didn't have a job. Now I'm 37 and have millions of dollars in the bank and I had to call and argue with AmEx before they would approve my application for their entry level card.
> I promise it is quite possible for a nation to banish unemployment but still have a majority of people struggling to get by.

You can always end up having a bunch of low paying jobs that don't allow for a good standard of living. Everyone will be employed but I'm sure no one will end up enjoying that.
Every single function call is using an interface. Your public API is not the only interface.

It's an extremely bad habit to pick up as this ruins one of the main purposes of Rust, namely it's ability to allow collaboration and while not causing undefined behavior. Any sort of internal "don't do this or it'll cause undefined behavior" is just falling back to C/C++ land.

Some developer later will modify that code later, maybe even the same developer and will forget about the invariants that need to be held if they're not documented in unsafety comments around unsafe code. Anything that relies on code review to catch unsoundness outside of unsafe code is automatically wrong.

ChatGPT has been great at creating summaries for me, even for pieces that I've written.

I use ChatGPT to riff off ideas and make sure I haven't missed anything; often ChatGPT reminds me that "oh right I'm missing aspect X Y and Z which would make my project or writing more complete.

With that said, I haven't written anything published in a journal yet, and maybe I'll use ChatGPT to assist (probably in the same way as I mentioned, as a way to riff off and brainstorm ideas, rather than as a content generator; its output is way too boring and verbose for my linking)
I feel like this would be more analogous to AI if they were lamenting the invention of the lightbulb and not just the existence of the sun.

Nevertheless, it’s a great read in its own context.
Not only it's not high compared to historical rates but worse I think is that Fed's real interest rate is still in the negative territory: January CPI report headline came at 6.3% YoY and core at 5.3% YoY (it's negative with current rates even if you use the PCE index as a baseline, which is the Fed's favorite index to measure inflation).
The vast majority of the things I buy don't need receipts to be kept and reported for tax. It's personal stuff like a streaming subscription, a book or a game.

And the times I have tried to claim expenses as work related (in Australia) that I bought online I have run into the problem that the receipt provided by the company is ambiguous (not sufficient by itself) because amounts were just specified with a $ symbol instead of USD/AUD.
Or you could like... understand that people behave in the context of their time in history, be glad we've moved past that, and celebrate the contributions of the people that got us to where we are.

I can celebrate George Washington as a founder of the country and also understand he was a slave owner.
I have some automation that does a weekly archive of everything important to a ZFS-based NAS. Home directories are also stored there over NFS, with hourly/weekly/monthly snapshots.

Once a month or so, I plug in two separate 5TB external HDDs and run a backup script that rsync's everything to each one (2 is 1 and 1 is none). These are stored outside my home.

I should probably get some kind of cloud-based / encrypted backup thing going as well. I don't claim that my current backup system is very good.
I trust the ECB to miss their targets. It is part of the job description setup. You are trying to control a chaotic system with one knob and you have to follow a manual that gets rewritten with past learnings:

a) if the issue reoccurs, the learnings are ineffective
b) if the issue is new, how can you tell how to move the knob without pissing a lot of people and losing your job.

It is a lose-lose game.
You don't really “run through it” since the money is still there (unless the central bank pulls it out).

But you are right that eventually the economy would grow enough to “soak up” the extra money and it wouldnt be so inflationary.
I love self hosting. Here’s my home setup.

Hardware (you don’t need much!)

Mini atx tower, 8TB usable storage, Debian, AMD processor, 8GB memory

Pfsense Firewall (Tailscale exit node)

Plume Wi-Fi (would like to replace, owned by comcast now)

Solution stack:

Portainer + Docker Compose to manage everything

Nextcloud

Photo Prism

Tailscale (remote WireGuard based access from all my devices. Integrates well with Pfsense)

Home Assistant (amazing platform for home automation and more). I love the new voice control features and mission!

Used to self host Email with Helm hardware company (not k8s Helm) but they went out of business. Self hosting email is annoying thanks to the big email providers and their control over the spam filtering world.

In general I would say story =/= dialogue (which an LLM can much more easily be used for). I see two main "tricks" that would make the more complicated case (story) possible.

1. You bound the branching in a particular fashion, and provide overall "pressures" into certain story arcs.

2. You use generative AI in a LOT more places in the game.

What happens when you are playing a Sci-Fi game, and you get the enemy NPC to somehow hallucinate that he is the King of Dragons, but you don't have Dragon models/animations/movesets in your game files? You either bound the LLM to not hallucinate that, or you generate that dragon live. I guess a 3rd option, is your game is a comedy and the King NPC gets labeled a crazy person.
That's actually a lot better than I would have thought. Almost usable, and a good exercise in patience.
I doubt "most companies" would want to lose out on one of the biggest economies on our planet. Some have built unsustainable businesses incompatible with privacy though.

I'm using uBlock and Consent-o-matic to remove as much tracking as possible already.

I don't understand all the comments here fretting about charging-back. It's one of the most effective consumer protective actions we still have in cases like this. I have experience in these matters from both sides of the transactions.

From the business side you get a notice of the chargeback along with the statement the customer provides when they file it. You then have some period of time, a week or two, to respond. Businesses get scammed by charge-backs too, you know. So you have the opportunity to submit your paperwork showing why you are entitled to the funds. A surprising number of the times the business doesn't even bother.

The credit card company looks at what the customer says and what the business says. They may ask either party for clarification or more documentation. They always prefer the vendor and the customer to settle things themselves so they look to see if the customer reached out to the vendor for some help and resolution first. So if you have a problem you really want to do this first. Documenting emails, phone calls, chat-bot transcripts you, as the customer, have with the vendor is extremely useful here. What's also useful are screen shots of a website that doesn't offer any way to contact the vendor and initiate a refund.

They look to see what the vendor did to try to resolve the issue. Then they may look at the actual evidence. And they may have internal data, like a vendor has a lot of other complaints and charge backs for similar reasons. Or that a customer has a lot of charge backs that weren't upheld.

All things being equal the one with the better documentation generally prevails.

My personal experience is some cards are more likely to stick up for their customers. These tend to be the cards that pay high rewards because the customer pays them directly (the annual fee). Some, like USAA, seem to just be more oriented to helping their customers. But this is totally anecdotal.

One thing I've never heard of is anyone getting 'banned' for making a charge back. If someone has personally experienced this, not just heard it happened, please leave a comment.
It belongs in the acknowledgments, along with Bob’s wife who did a bit of proofreading, Steve McProfessor who had a chat with the authors once, and whatever software was used for the figures.
If you go with that excess deaths number, if the answer was 1/4 (which is what stats suggest) that covers half of the 10M.

There's still the other half, but that's not nothing.
I’m saying that people who already have path dependencies and are making “enough” prioritize other things over the pursuit of money.

I know plenty of developers 40+ who would never give up their lives in the burbs of Atlanta (where I lived until this year) to move to the west coast.

Even now, I’m almost sure that the new college grads who I work with (and one that I mentored as an intern) that came in after I did at an L4 will be promoted to an L6 long before I will (if I ever get promoted). I actually told my manager and my skip manager that I don’t want to be an L6 or the responsibilities it entails. I’m already saving/investing every penny of my RSUs. My base salary is about the same as it was before I left “enterprise development”. My fixed expenses are actually lower
Same. Curious. Can he reinstates what he just said?
That's a quite an interesting paper! That said, the final results still line up with my intuition, which is that there are diminishing returns, as evidenced by the log(income) relationship that that new study identifies.

I already make a 90th percentile income for my area, and I don't feel that investing additional mental and emotional resources in maximizing salary is the best route forward for pursuing happiness. I think that at this point there are other axes to optimize on that provide greater marginal gains to happiness.
I completely agree. The contract of calling any safe function is that it is impossible to cause undefined behavior by calling that function (assuming there are no unsoundness bugs). That is the inherent built-in contract in any piece of Rust code.
Reading between the lines, the original patch doesn't work in current versions and there's no working new patch.

But more specifically since it was called a hack, I assume it's patching a function to return incorrect information that works with OneNote but could break other software that legitimately needs the information instead of truly fixing the issue.
typescript(tsc) is the only one that does type checking.

bun, deno, esbuild, swc etc. can parse the syntax, but they chuck the TS (they probably don't even add it to the AST, but I haven't checked).

Keeping up with syntax is very doable. It doesn't change often, and updating the parser when it does isn't much work.

There are some past/ongoing projects[1][2] to create type checkers faster than tsc, but they aren't going to reach full parity and probably don't plan on keeping up with language features.

Not what I had in mind to say the least. That's definitely one of the premier cases where you either countersteer (hard) or crash.
I think you vastly overestimate the skills that are necessary for most jobs.

Also, it should be noted that Amazon and Google don't interview for specific jobs -- they interview you for a job at the company and then you get placed. That would imply that at least at Google and Amazon, the skills are transferable across everything they do.
That sounds horrible. And very likely not totally uncommon.

But I think that's orthogonal to whether hiring crazy people makes other people in your company crazier.
That’s because it’s configured to with non-zero temperature. I’d you use the underlying model API, or the playground, you can get repeatable results when temperature is zero.
That definitely is a different goalpost then the one I was talking about. Absolutely, additional strategies will be required there.
curious: did you recently monetize your blog? i just got an ad, i’m pretty sure that hasn’t happened before.
Me and many of my colleagues ride the bike to office when it is sunny. Better than the train. It’s 30km each trip (2h). A shower once in the office seems acceptable, given the mood boost lasting for the whole day.
Too honest for that world. Could have just said yes I will be sleeping there with Marilyn every night. They wouldn't know unless there are cameras installed in the bedroom.

Psychosomatic illnesses spread very easily, through the same means other memetic changes spread.

Unfortunately many people mistakenly believe a psychosomatic illness isn't "real" - when professionals tell them "These people have a psychosomatic illness" what they hear is "These people are lying" which is not what was said, and so when the same professionals tell them, "You have a psychosomatic illness" they hear "You are lying" and they're angry - how dare these professionals accuse them of lying! They know it's real!
Regarding how the overall economy will fare, observing the current trends I don’t see how AI won’t just futher enshittify more.

I watch TV with obviously auto-generated subtitles. Where a human cares enough to backspace and correct typos, the broadcaster is perfectly content paying cheap rate for 80% okay subtitles, which can’t even type “oh goodness that’s TMI” without mangling it.

My walmart shopping is self-checkout, and you’re in for a treat if the fruit you grabbed is missing a barcode so you stand around waiting on an attendant. But others would just “steal” it out of impatience, causing some corpo MBA to complain about “high shrinkage”.

Disney has setup a fake screen behind the actors to display the background for shooting, how long until an AI generates fake cityscapes for movies, and people stop getting a sense for what the real world looks like? But hey, paying workers for foreign set locations and B roll is pricey!
Historians in 500 years will stare in wonder at the stunning evidence we did not, in fact, build ALL the infrastructure, physical and otherwise, during the last ~25 years of absurdly cheap money.
I feel like the lunar landing aspect is incidental, and this is fundamentally a "impossible-to-please parent for whom nothing is ever good enough" simulator :-)
Maybe cost too. Custom 7nm silicone aint cheap and the steamdeck is quite an affordable product considering Vlave don't have access to the same economies of scale that Sony, Nintendo or Microsoft do.
Yes, unfortunately it requires a lifestyle change. Keeping it off is harder than losing it to begin with, because you enthusiasm for the diet wears off. By then you have to have formed eating habits that don't lead to weight gain. Even so, for some people it will require discipline.
