You're probably talking quite a few years of on-the-side work to churn out ten books. And, depending upon the type of book, they may only have a shelf-life of 2-3 years.

Also, they're talking about taking home maybe $100-$200/month (which has been about my experience for a tech-related book). $1K/month, to say nothing of $6K/month, to say nothing of this holding up over a period of years, would be very good for a technical book.

Imagining that AIs would truly be better at writing code than humans one day, I wonder who would write the instructions telling the AI what code to write. It may be a whole new kind of job, kind of like programming instructions that the AI has to follow. Maybe we could think of a name for that. Programmers maybe?
Most of what a GPU does is drawing pixels though (even in 3D games), and that's as 2D as it gets.

That is an assumption though, the problem usually doesn't say that.
Concern does not equal the ability to prevent or master a situation. Putin was also concerned with aquiring ukraine. Between that dictator impersonating aparatschik, the ground is liquifying as we speak.
I'm not saying they're useless, or evil. They're just playing their part. I'm saying that in a just world we'd have found a different way to solve the problems that they solve.

For instance, I can get a loan from a bank for a mining operation that will contaminate the ground water somewhere. Thanks to bankers, I can expect that the locals will accept the money I'm paying my employees--since they can't distinguish it from any other money--even though they'd be much better off refusing it and continuing to drink clean water.

The way we practice money involves a loss of agency to whoever has less of it. A just world would require the consent of the locals, our world only requires that I prove to a banker that the operation will be profitable.
More than being created to create jobs, I suspect things like ethics teams are mainly created for PR purposes, to make the company look good -- and in fact, the "product" they are expected to produce are defenses against the company looking bad, keep the actual product teams from doing things that make the company look bad. (Whether they are given the tools to succeed at this is another question, but it's not like people not given the tools to succeed at large organizations is unusual!)

If an AI product makes Microsoft look really bad publicly due to something understood by the public as an ethical concern, the ethics team will be back.

I'm talking about my family members and girlfriend playing music or movies in a room where I have a great stereo system, and not connecting to it, even though they are already paired and just need to click the icon.

I think you hit the nail on the head- people think a big stereo is for volume levels, not quality. They will obviously switch to it when they want things louder, but often not before.
> Think of it as a plumbing problem. Your primary people flow is between cheap rent and good jobs.

That's an interesting idea. Just thinking out loud, I wonder how one affects the other. I.e cheap rent -> create better transport links -> increased rent -> etc etc.

I know this is true with tube stations raising the cost of certain areas in London.
I'm not familiar with nextjs, will try it out.

I honestly want to understand this viewpoint, so I can make informed decisions when looking at these tools. So let me ask...

I agree that some of these older python things are probably not worth using. But I'm a bit confused that you're entirely dismissing web assembly. I think it's well understood that using JavaScript as the foundation of front end software was a complete historical accident. It's a huge amount of inertia to compete with, but that doesn't mean it's insurmountable.

My understanding is that wasm is a major industry initiative, and it isn't going away. Emscripten seems to be nearly as stable. Now, maybe two or three non-js languages will emerge as the core of wasm-based development, and maybe python won't be in that small group. I'd rather learn, say, rust than continue writing JavaScript.

Where do you disagree? You think wasm will be shut down completely in a year? You think none of these languages will take off in terms of web-specific tooling? Something else?

In many engineering contexts, modify and change would mean two distinct things. Of course, it's context dependent but:

- "Modify" this part on the widget: Please alter this part to function correctly.

- "Change" this part on the widget: Please replace this part with a new part so that the widget functions correctly.

e.g. if I modified a cover, it probably means I drilled an extra hole or something to make it fit.....if I changed the cover, it probably means that I found a new cover that had the right hole.
Germany's visa for job search for professionals gives you up to 6 months to find a job. A foreigner who has completed an academic degree in Germany can get up to 18 months afterwards and a foreign researcher who has finished her or his research up to 9 months. For a vocational qualifications it is up to 12 months.[1]

These time limits are maxima, but are usually granted for people already living in Germany if their livelihood is secured and no other important aspects speak against it, such as a criminal record.

There is no time limit if a foreigner has an open-ended residence permit, which is possible after 5 years living in Germany (additional requirements apply).[2]

Maybe there will be a time where programing in high-level languages will be seen as punch cards are seen today.

Even if that happens maybe the ones that know how programming languages work will be the good ones, as today a good programmer knows about OS’, architecture or compilers.
Isn't this a strike against the carnivore diet? Not only do I have to restrict myself to a narrow range of foods, but there's not even an ethical benefit to doing so. Why would one "preach" something like this?

So it's worse than stereotypical veganism?
I understand your overall point and agree with it, but let me state that "paying my taxes" is such an American, money-centered worldview.

Your country owes you citizenship even if you don't pay your taxes. It may punish you in other ways, but not by taking away citizenship.

My experience from apache with forking is if your number of workers scales up and down with load, you get two big problems: 1) memory usage grows significantly with load (but our apache modules were bloaty, maybe your thread pool isn't) and 2) you end up paying the cost to initialize the workers at high load. In that situation, it's best to just figure out your maximum worker number and run that all day. Although, if your OS is smart, it allocates new work to the most recently active process, so some workers stay idle most of the time.

If your threads don't block and you have one main application running on the node, you usually just want to run one thread per node and you're done. If you are running a very network heavy load where you can eliminate or highly reduce cross thread communication, you may want one core per NIC tx/rx queue and one thread per core to eliminate cross-core communication; any cores above the number of queues will just be idle, because cross-core communication is more expensive than the work they can do (but that's not a super common scenario).

A control system to add and remove nodes makes sense if you're cloudy, though, since there's a cost for running nodes.
Fresh food preparation is a full time job.

I outsource mine to someone who does it for a living, it costs more than the majority of people can afford. The idea that you can work a full time job, have time to cook, clean and eat and also have enough money to buy ingredients that aren't sugar by another name is laughable.

Why I’m Relearning Vim in 2023
The food situation in London is not good, despite having some of the best restaurants and cuisine from all over the world.

A lot of people will eat "meal deal" for launch and that "meal" often means a pack of crisps and a soda. The better ones are usually a greasy sandwich or salad and bowl of fruits.

Before getting my first white collar job in the UK, I worked for a few months as a waiter in 5 star hotels and upscale restaurants and I actually had much better food than the average white collar worker since being fed a proper food at job is part of the deal. I got in shape in those 3 months(good food + no sitting at work), only to ruin it once re-joined the laptop class.

The meal deal is a tragedy, the bottom and the top of the pay-grade eats much better at work.

Oh, also being poor or rich helps with the food at home too. Cheap neighbourhoods with lots of immigrants have excellent street markets with good quality vegetables and immigrant shops directly importing good quality Mediterranean stuff like olives and cheese. The more well off neighbourhoods have all that too but its "gourmet" or "speciality", the neighbourhoods in the middle tend to have only Tesco/Sainsbury's/M&S and the vegetables sold here tastes dull and everything is packaged for longevity of the product.

I'd agree the user interface would be better. If there was a good API to export your history from a few different browsers to some program that organizes your history that would make a big difference but that might be the beginning of the end of the browser monopoly so it won't happen.
How many programmers are there for large language models? It seems like there are very few ai researchers compared to the number of programmers.

There will be more people using the ai to program computers, but the ai interface may be so easy that it's no longer a skill.

This also speaks volumes.
If the update business logic is server-side (which it probably is if it's written in Python), there's no way the front end can update without connectivity. Anything else would imply some neat but difficult transpiling of Python to JS/webasm to make that update code available in the frontend.
Living together doesn't mean racism doesn't exist. Being originally from the north doesn't mean anything for your argument. The south has exchanged their deep racism with, at first a prejudice against gays, and when that group was too large such that it hurt elections they moved to trans people.

2.9% plus 30 cents per transaction, sure, but after that you have actual fiat money that you can use to pay salaries and suppliers.

Ethereum isn't free, either. You gas fees, withdrawal fees, and the volatility in selling. Probably comes out to a little less in total, but is a 0.5% saving worth adding all that attrition to your sales process?
The banks finally got out of collateral and holdings that had credit risk, but they neglected to remember that just because Treasuries have AAA credit doesn't mean they're safe from duration risk. And given how little the benefit had to have been to them amid the bottomed out interest rate environment, it's amazing that they'd have subjected themselves to this risk...because sure, 1.5% on a 10 year instead of .5% on a 6 month bill is 100 bps, but at the immense duration risk of rates that had to go up eventually? Bananas if you ask me. And then not to hedge this risk with derivatives, just makes you wonder if they actually thought they were invincible.

As for it not being Lehman, that may be true, but they DID have Lehman's CFO in their C-suite.

As for the aftermath, I'm immensely curious to see how the Fed hopes to both steepen the yield curve with higher rates while simultaneously artificially propping up long term treasury securities by allowing them to be used as collateral for short term repo at par. Guess we're just throwing out Time Value of Money altogether these days. The cure almost seems worse than the disease, but I suppose I'm just continuing to digest data like everyone else is at this point. Interesting times, that's for sure.

Ownership data meaning the NFT itself and which can be proved by the holder using his/her private key. Off-chain data (such as personal information or supplemental documents) doesn't have to be stored in centralized databases. It could be stored in federated systems, or a local computer at the owner's residence, or a hosted server controlled by the owner. The chain can hold a hash of the identifying information and then an application can pull the data from wherever it is stored and referenced and check that is correct by recomputing the hash and comparing that to what is stored on chain.

How can we further remove biased from this study?

I agree this looks impressive i the level of research and detail, but I strongly caution the community not to jump to conclusions.

Be mindful of where the data comes from. Police and prosecutors can and do make mistakes, inadvertently or sometimes prejudiciously.

I've heard this statistic most of my life that Black people commit a significant amount of crime, yet being such a small percentage of the population. I just think it grossly over simplifies everything and its unfair.

I'm not sure how to account for that bias, I don't think we can draw conclusions until we can rectify some of that

I’m 3 for 3 on terrible tax professionals. Maybe just bad luck - how would you find a good one? What cost is expected? I obviously value my own time as a solo consultant, but some of the tax firms I have seen blow that calculation out of the water.

Any guidance would be fantastic!
In the 80's 'glyph rendering' was usually done right in hardware when generating the video signal though (e.g. the CPU work to render a character was reduced to writing a single byte to memory).
But consider also the (IMO irrational) devaluing of 'used' items in the USA. I have a great sounding set of older high end floor speakers I pulled for free from a dumpster... one subwoofer had a small tear in it, and I was able to glue that up with no apparent sound quality degradation, and then later replace the entire sub when one came up cheap on eBay.

I often see fairly high quality floor speakers for near free at thrift stores, etc.

To be fair, I am talking about things that were probably $1-2k new, and I don't feel that I could personally tell the difference from that and something $10k new. Especially with the real world high noise floor- vehicles outside, pets, kids, etc.
That was how I had to convince myself. I wrote a python program to simulate it a million times, Thinking for sure I was going to disprove everyone.

Agreed. On top of that, everyone who owns a car should be required to learn how to change their serpentine belts, oil, replace spark plugs, and alternator. They should be required to sign a paper saying they will change their tires with a spare on the side of the road and carry a jump starter with them at all times. The roads would be a safer place if people knew what was going on inside their cars and how to operate them.

- difficult to automate or low value dev work is already being offshore to cheaper locations

- lot of dev work is just plumbing, config files, packages, APIs and tedious non challenging stuff

- demanding roles have high barrier: leetcode, certifications, open source, github, networking and so on - it will get more imo

- coding is treated as a basic skill taught in schools, like english or maths - not itself a differentiator

AI still does not have access to most businesses internal context, terminologies and so on - that is where we still have leverage.
