That depends. Some come from universities or various types of schools (coding bootcamps, certification program trainings like AWS Certified XYZ, MySQL/Oracle/... DBA, Cisco Certified, Microsoft Partner, you name it). Some drift into specialist roles from generalist jobs (with or without the employer paying for additional training) because they prove to be good enough at a topic no one else cares much about. Some get ordered into it, especially in public service/military where your choice is to obey or get the boot.

Of these:

- the first group tends to have the greater holistic view about their certification topic and know a ton about best practices, but lack detailed knowledge about dependencies, prerequisites and other experience you only gain during real world experimentation and work.

- the second group, the ones I like most, may lack best practices, but their experience makes more than up for that

- the third are one hell of an explosive mixture. Either you get a combination of the first two groups (basically, someone with tons of certificates because you're not worth anything in public service without a paper proving your worth, and a lot of experience working in constrained and otherwise troubled environments) which is the best you can get, or you get a serial bullshitter whose best experience is in kissing leadership arses (as said, all that matters in public service is the papers, not knowledge or performance).
But flat terrain tends to have stronger winds, and non-cyclists often underestimate how big a difference that makes. Power needed to overcome wind resistance increases with the cube of the velocity[0], so you really feel the headwinds.

Google introduced Google Answers so you stay on Google instead of going to the websites they index. They have AMP so news articles can be hosted on Google. They have email, video, about five different video chats that they kill off, Translate, etc. Google's walled garden is a short fence with widely spaced planks, but it's still got barriers.

Most people have heard of blockchain (through crypto), but non-techies are _actually using_ ChatGPT for daily tasks. Departments of ed and universities moved fast in integrating anti-ChatGPT into their programs.

I’m not sure if you’re saying that I believe you have to be happy with 100% of your job or you have to find a new one?

Because I definitely don’t:

> You either go to the office or look for a new job.

In case it’s not clear from that, I agree with you. There’s parts of every job that suck. You just have to choose whether the benefits outweighs those sucky parts.
Why not? Not all blogs need to be like news letters. My blog mostly contains my daily caloric intake.

That's only a good idea if the veteran actively prevents the situation from getting better, e.g. by being possesive and contrarian, trives on being the hero etc. This does tend to happen a lot in these situations. The team will also need to have the skill to actually do better.

If the veteran is not sabotaging things firing only throws away the most valuable source of knowledge the team has.

No, we need to look at externalities and real world long term side effects.

The "per dollar" part is why we're in the current situation in the first place
In general it seems like the things that have actually ended up changing the world significantly in my lifetime seemed insignificant when they were first introduced. The first time I was on the internet it seemed novel, but unimportant. When I created my first social media account, it was interesting, playful, and not going to change the world. The iPhone was a joke, who would want a phone that big?

The simple fact that people are predicting that GPT will somehow change the world makes me doubt its actual value.

They're certainly capable of remixing things they've seen, and adding in randomness will add novelty. Whether that counts as "creativity" is something people can debate : - )

I think that the reason image ones have caught on better in some ways is because they don't need to be accurate. We're not asking them to understand anything, just produce images based on text prompts (which is amazing stuff all by itself).
> in the same way that a skin cell is a human cell but is not itself a human.

IMO, there is a substantial difference between a conceived egg and any other cells: an egg turns into a human being over time (provided it's left doing its businnes normally), other kind of cells don't operate this way AFAIK.

> there is some point during pregnancy where an instance of a human exists where one did not previously

completely agree. IMO we can even extend it by omitting the "If a single cell is not an instance of a human" condition: even if we qualify a specific single cell to be a human, there must be a point when it became a human.
I’ve recently been trying a bit of an odd setup. I use an iPad on a stand with a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, and use blink shell to mosh to vultr openbsd hosts. It’s kind of nice in the sense that you have an iPad for when you need really mainstream support for something, and I’m thinking about switching to one with 5G for mobile work. I like the focus of having a terminal style device for hobby stuff.
Roads do a surprisingly good job of making clear how fast is safe to drive on them. I'm sure there must be places where people think, "Oh wow, going with the flow of the rest of these drivers feels really unsafe," but much more common is the experience where people are comfortably driving 10-20mph over the speed limit and there is no higher incidence of accidents there than anywhere else.

I think in general setting a speed limit to try to regulate speed for the sake of safety is one of the least effective ways to bring about the desired change.

With 1.4B personal vehicles on earth, pro tip: the future won't be clean even if they're battery powered
I wonder why there hasn't been some rather cheap, open-source solution for home printing? Why does every single printer manufacturer needs to be so scummy? HP, Epson, Conan. They're all horrible in terms of user experience. Is it so difficult to make a $100 printer that just prints? instead of bricking itself everytime it is actually needed.
In this case you should just use Leaflet and OpenStreetMap for a grand total of $0 per month.
A growing plastic smog afloat in the world’s ocean – Urgent solutions required
I don't care at all about average users, this network would be an alternative on top of what we have and can be as elitist as the small user group wants. The difficult part is having the power to sue organizations who violate the EULA (a social and financial problem) and getting a decentralized banning system to work (a very tricky technical, distributed social choice problem).
> This Zem car has a pair of carbon filters in the front grille that contributes to cleaning the atmosphere by removing about 4.5lb of Carbon-dioxide per 20,000 miles.

Using the US fleet average (26.4 mpg), an average car produces 4.5 lbs CO2 every 6 miles. These filters can absorb .03% of the CO2 emissions of a combustion car.
This is a student project, the whole car is made from recycled plastic and cooking oil and whatnot. It's not really supposed to save our standard of living by itself.

Otherwise I fully agree, CO2 scrubbing makes the most sense at the point of large scale emissions. Government taxes on emissions are also required so people start doing this before they all find a way to make economic use of the carbon.
It's also quite accommodating to car traffic. Exactly because there are so many other transport options, there's less cars on the road, and dedicated car routes have good throughput. Also, road quality, signage and general traffic design is much better and consistent than in many other countries. As they say, you can feel by the road surface that you've crossed a border.
Why the Science Is Clear That Masks Work
You can implement the frontend separately for each platform, which is used by example by usbimager, Transmission or SciTE.

This is very hard to do in practice for any big enough software, but then using Qt, Java or C# frameworks is probably worth it since their impact will start to be small compared to your application footprint.
In the places where the speed of road transport has most influence on productivity, the speed limits are largely moot because of traffic congestion at the times when most commuting happens. In places and at times when congestion is not a problem, speed limits rarely have much effect on productivity.

I agree, it is just that we add a new element of security which has other security issues while we can move directly outside the computer. Apple move to U2F as a 2FA is a clear execution.
Just comes across completely hackish when I hear that in a movie now. Cringe for the poor editor being forced to put it in as the director is giggling away to themselves about it.
> I really would like to use it, but without ability to backup it

I totally know the feeling. I was there, I don't believe for a second that enrolling another key is an acceptable option and I solved that problem in a way that works for me.

You can clone your own security key if you're willing to deal with the problem that now becomes: "How do I safely store the secret allowing to restore another security key?".

I'm using paper seeds, split over several countries. A $5 wrench attack on my mom to have her open her safe won't be sufficient. The attacker would need to $5 wrench another half too, which my mom doesn't have.

Ledger Nano S (supposedly a cryptocurrency hardware wallet but I only care about the U2F support) has a U2F "nano app" installable on the key which shall do U2F (and webauthn, which is backward compatible from the device's point of view... It's not clear to me if it's going to work as a "passkey" too or not). They cost $79 or something.

They're using these kind of secure chips from STMicroelectronics: https://www.st.com/en/secure-mcus/st31h320.html

Ledger kinda knows what they're doing: their CTO was part of the original FIDO spec group.

Buy two of them, initialize them with the same seed. Make sure to secure your paper seed.

In my case the issue of "cloning and backuping a U2F/webauthn key" is solved. But it's a trade off: now I have to deal with storing the paper seed allowing to restore the U2F key.

In exchange for that hassle I get U2F everywhere (SSH being a big, big, big one) and my security keys are protected by a PIN (three wrong PINs and they reset to factory default). And I don't leave with the constant fear of losing my security key and being locked out of all my services / having to reset everything.

As an added bonus that Ledger Nano S has a tiny device telling you if you're registering or authenticating and it's telling you where you're registering/authenticating. It becomes very hard to trick you into registering/authenticating to a bad party.

Also for me to be really in trouble I'd need to both lose the ability to restore/clone another key and I'd need to lose access to the two security keys that are configured with the same seed.

That is highly unlikely.

I think Fast Company has a different (bastardized?) definition of startup. Yes, a pre-established market might validate your idea, but then what? Clawing after the same customers everyone else is chasing? And if that market isn't growing?

Nah.

Look for blue oceans. Look to have zero competition. Startups are by definition risky. They are hard. You can cut some corners, take some short cuts, and yes have a successful business. But that's not a startup.
IMO, GPG has a pretty terrible CLI. GPG agent config is complicated and is more of a pain to get working with forwarding etc. I don’t like the fact that GPG requires config at all. I also have no use for it, that I can’t solve with something nicer. I use age/sops for my encryption-related use cases. If I needed signing, I’d probably use minisign or signify. For authentication, Wireguard/SSH.

But for the SSH key use case, none of this matters. Unless you need compatibility with old SSH servers/clients, resident keys are substantially simpler, because they cut out 1 tool entirely and don’t require copying any directories to other machines.
Commute does not allow for flow-like experiences.
Yes.
There are many reasons why someone would work at a job that doesn't make them happy, chief amongst those is supporting their family as best they can.

The problem with the "economic field" is largely that it treats theory and practice as fungible.
Yes, drinking sour or acid juice makes no sense, unless a person will not take sugar because of health issues or is on a strict diet. In the same sense, drinking coffee without sweetening is a bit silly and a punch to the stomach, and provides no benefit, just a macho bragging feeling.
The other thing is ability to control the amount of children. Knowledge of contraception and its availabity. Because even if you are stay at home and committed to be, things are much simpler with 4 kids then with 9.
Other than facilitating smug "we know better" commentary from the peanut gallery why not throw up chevrons?

It's long since been established that alerting drivers to specific hazards at or before those hazards is far more effective at reducing the hazard than dropping the speed limit or slapping up a "windy road" sign far in advance.
The problem I have with claims like “LLMS aren’t thinking— they are just parrots”, is we don’t even know what human thinking really is! So many people want to assume that human complexity makes us special, yet there is not any proof of that right now.

This article claims “AI is not intelligent”— and I’ll counter with, “what is intelligence?” And further, say that we somehow prove LLMs aren’t “thinking” as humans do, but they still give (eventually) a near perfect illusion that they do — what does it matter that it’s not “really thinking?”
I feel like crazy AI cultist at times when discussing this, but my main (admittedly petty) point is that such strong confidence about similarity or dissimilarity of human thinking to LLMs is unfounded.

It’s like we are comparing the insides of two black boxes and trying to make absolute claims on them.
Nobody uses half-implemented unsafe bike lanes that:

- cars sometimes drive in

- cars and delivery vehicles park in

- have frequent gaps that dump you into the road

- have no meaningful separation from vehicular traffic

- are not clean enough to ride on easily

People are happy to use well-designed and maintained bicycling infrastructure.
The real problem is that a certain political affiliation has opened the floodgates toward unbridled corporate meddling in politics.

If coroporations can set the rule due to legal bribery (lobbying) that's a larger systemic issue that only underwrites my point.

Fortunately there are other examples that show it can be done better, you may have to look for those examples either outside of the USA or in the past of the USA.
This really depends on where you are. Some European cities the bike lanes are in constant use, to the point if you're not as accustomed to it as the locals you may well cause an accident if you try join them. (And take care crossing them.)

Because it's not actually about saving the environment, but about slowing down or stopping human and technological progress, because human progress is basically evil.

This is the fundamental driving emotion behind the environmental movement, and it's why almost any real environmentalist is against a technological solution to it. No nuclear, no wind farms (destroy landscape), no solar farms in africa.

The problem is humanity. It's a virus. It needs to be killed. There are too many people on the planet, we can't feed them, children are the worst thing for the environment, I'm sure you've heard all these things.

Meanwhile, 50% of 8bn people on earth will be overweight by 2030.

Related expectation is that in that setup, you are expected to help grandparents, uncles and aunts too. It also means the other family members have a say into how you run your own house, what you do, what your kids do and so on. As in, a lot of independence people cherish goes out of window.

In particular, it could mean that you cant move to SV for better job, because some relative depends on you.
I've found the bike lanes in NYC to be minimally helpful, and in some cases, I think the way they are is downright dangerous. I've seen where the car lane merges into where the bike lane is (and the bike lane at that point ceases to exist), and it's incredibly non obvious. To say nothing of the places where the bike lane is actually in the car lane the whole time anyway, and cars are meant to (swerve and) pass the bikes on the left (?!).
I don't think that's a good analogy. Most of us called "OS X" for two decades. Apple might have changed the official name to macOS (or whatever) but no one I know really followed suit.

Did you read the article? The first evidence it examines is roadway deaths vs speed limit, and the author concludes "there is little correlation". I'm not saying I agree with the article's conclusions, but it's easier to trust someone who shows some evidence than someone who just suggests that evidence which supports their conclusions exists.
