Nonsense. You know how many masters and PhDs NLP and computer vision knowledge is now almost entirely irrelevant for most businesses now that any uneducated person like me can access GPT-4 with an API call? Pretty much all of them. And within a year or two of years open source models will be available to run onsite for the ones that have security issues.

The best new models are so powerful and general that you literally don't have to train them for any specific task. Just give them some context.

ChatGPT couldn't count. GPT-4 gets a high score on a math SAT.

You and your friends will be easily replaceable with AI. Quite possibly already with GPT-4. If not, certainly we should anticipate within 3 years.
Ten. I don't get why this is a constraint.

If they're rubberhosing me, I'll just give them the master pass. They won't have to take my finger.

If they get my fingerprint some other way, I can just switch to my next finger. And when I'm done, I can use PINs.

I don't think it's mutability that matters. It's just that I leave fingerprints everywhere.
We made and used quills in primary school, in a sort of arts and crafts/history crossover, I suppose. Didn't hold us back any, hopefully.
I have mixed feelings about the various arguments I see raised in the comments. It seems crazy to me to insist that efficiency and productivity gains via technology have, as their proper goal, a world in which none of that matters. Freeing up time in this way benefits us as individuals as well. Just staying alive and entertaining ourselves requires goal-directed behavior. I like not having to spend hours cooking food daily on an open fire.

Your argument about keyboards struck me in just this way - it's a mistake to assume that we should stick with the status quo and have machines adapt to us. After all, writing on paper (or with a digital stylus) is just another iteration of improving the technology. Nobody wants to pound symbols into stone with a chisel, for example.

I can type much faster than I can write cursively and it would be incredibly painful to revert to such writing. Natural language speech input can improve a lot of things vs typing, but I think writing code - for as long as it lasts - would be tricky to implement well using our voices.

I fully agree this is obviously (and should be!) out of the ordinary.

I’d be glad to do business with a company that cares. In my business, I walk away from prospective vendors that don’t demonstrative proactiveness or that just follow the pack.

I would absolutely expect them to be able to route around issues with a single bank in the same way I would expect Cloudflare to be able to route around issues facing a single data center. with that kind of business it doesn’t make sense to have a single point of failure with the money you manage. There should certainly be more than one bank in their portfolio, and the differences should be small enough to capitalize in an emergency.

If you’re not mitigating risks brought by your most important vendors, then you’re not mitigating your own risks. Any organization that’s serious about payroll will ask it’s payroll vendor about planning for various out-of-band failures.

Look up the Baumol effect. When productivity rises in one sector, there is an increase in wages in other sectors.

The flip side of the coin is over time we spend more of our income on the things that don’t have increasing productivity. Think of housing, education, health care, etc

I mean maybe, but why even care?

This is low volume manufacturing. There are probably 1,000's of these, not 100,000's. They probably selected the components that were easiest to purchase in small quantities and assemble, and whatever the engineer was most familiar with. Maybe there's a touchscreen in case they want to do a firmware update someday to improve it.

But at low volumes, why be bothered even if it is overengineered? All this stuff is cheap. It's not a big deal. It's not even for consumers.

well a lot of us think Trump was pretty much the definition of evil, i mean, extorted an entire country with the threat of illegally withholding US military aid unless they made up political campaign propaganda for him, sometimes you have to just draw a line, like when it's blindingly obvious Assange preferred helping to install a corrupt grifter to run the US government into the dirt. He hates the US government. A lot of us USians think "try to wreck the US government by installing a mobster as president" is evil.

The whole banking secrecy thing is just another way to hide all of the money laundering, drug money, and tinpot African dictator money these banks have been holding all of these years.

The good news is folks in government are probably pretty implicated in this, so they will probably try to make sure there is a pretty strong partition.

It maybe just a backlash. This place has become full of far left - which is surprising because it is (was) about startups, and startups are a far right thing by definition - do it yourself, government is a stupid monster that just gets in your way, do what people want, scale, get rich, increase inequality - it's strange to do startups or at least aspire to, and be a leftist. If only for utterly cynical reasons ("give the poor/stupid more free stuff so we can make our profits from people who are more gullible, not smarter upper middle class where money is now").

Naturally, it creates a backlash.

> I don’t believe for a second that they didn’t know what they were doing when they partnered with Russia in 2016 to help draw as much attention as possible to the DNC emails

I don't know why you would talk like this. This is just a big lie wrapped in a sarcastic and condescending tone substituting for evidence. What you believe is not interesting to people, they care why you believe it because you may have an argument they haven't thought of.

The only thing that you're explaining to us is that you accept every anti-Assange argument proffered by the Democratic Party, and that the fact that the release was damaging is enough information to "confirm" for you that they are all true. If the release weren't damaging, there'd be no reason to talk about it, therefore you're citing the reasons you're having a discussion of Assange's guilt as evidence of Assange's guilt. It's weaker than circumstantial, even; you've simply decided that the DNC emails were released optimally for mysterious Russian interests, and are making a secular intelligent design argument.

I can't be read as anything but a public statement that you'll accept any charge against anyone accused of damaging your party, and over the subject of the safety of a journalist exposing government corruption no less. The scariest part of the whole thing is that the DNC emails exposed corruption. We should be celebrating their release because they exposed as true what was only suspected before. The Democratic Party fired people over it. But the current zeitgeist is about suppressing information from enemies and boosting information from friends, and Assange is a designated enemy. If the Democratic Party weren't so horrifically undemocratic internally, it would be celebrating the exposure of corruption in its own ranks, but instead it mourns the financial losses of the insiders who missed out on a H. Clinton presidency.

I will never get over Democrats supporting Trump in his prosecution of Assange because they decided that Assange supported Trump. Convincing people to support Trump prosecuting a journalist in order to avenge H. Clinton's loss to Trump is a real knot of a thought process to be twisted into.
> Play-based learning is a fad designed to satisfy liberal white women.

After more research about the history of alternative education, I don't think this was accurate. I feel bad for resorting to stereotype.

"Liberal" is absolutely correct here, see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_education

"White" is iffy. In my experience in the U.S., thinking about alternative education is a luxury that only some can afford to do. Therefore, it is an issue of affluence.

"Women" was out of line. This is not an issue of gender, not role, and I think it was harmful to reinforce certain traditional roles here.

I lied about my GPA btw, it was around 3.8. Math is hard. And I only went to a mid-tier state school. It was only "good" in that I enjoyed it and learned a lot. It was difficult for me to find a job even in the bull market of 2009-2020. But even though my personal outcome wasn't completely ideal, I still believe in the value of structured education with its grades, sorting, ranking, etc. because, at its best, it drives you to separate the learning from the intrinsic reward (which is necessary to learn the boring things you need to), and to simply be accountable for yourself. I don't think another human (besides Thoreau), or play, can provide that;

these lessons must come from the heartless industrial machine.
At this point banking secrecy must already have become a myth, hasn’t it?

Of course, if you’re the government of an African country trying to get to the accounts of some former strongman that used to rule the country I’m pretty sure that the secrecy is still there, but confronted against more persuasive powers (like the US in the recent past, most probably also the EU and the Swiss national government) I don’t think that said secrecy stands any chance.
It also gave us more dangerous police. Consider how much less armed the police would need to be if they weren’t facing off with an armed paramilitary funded by $600B/yr in drug sales? Policing would be about enforcing mundane stuff, because against the drug trade there really isn’t much money in organized crime.
I disagree with your characterisation, there was a lot of criticism of Collateral Murder from young white liberals! Assange and wikileaks, at the time, were presented as apolitical truth-seekers, not as journalists. Journalism is very different from what Wikileaks claimed to be, and Collateral Murder was not presented as a piece of journalism, it was presented as a leak. You cannot conceivably compare what Wikileaks claimed to be at the time, to what the New York Times claimed to be at the time.

Go back in time to when Assange was first accused of sexual misconduct and you’ll find that a lot of people disliked him: it’s revisionist to claim that he was perceived a noble hero by the left until he was accused of sexual misconduct or until he started his crusade against Hilary Clinton (as if any young white liberal liked Hilary Clinton…)

> everything changes suddenly and forever.

Since the beginning of the industrial revolution, it's the prevalent mode of historical development, I'd hazard to say.

Things that lasted for millennia have been displaced in a few centuries, and eventually the delay changed to a few decades.

> knowledge workers

Aka Thinkers. I don't think the author considered the full extent of automating thinking. They are underestimating what it is. This technology can only get better and is probably already superhuman. This time it is different indeed and makes lot of knowledge work not just be obsolete, but also inferior.
Agreed. But why be delusional? The tool is right at your fingertips. Why deny the reality of the situation rather then face the truth?

If they fear the AI owners attack the owners directly. Don't attack reality itself and say the AIs are just stochastic parrots and there's no risk to jobs at all.
I'd say the opposite: electricity actually did see fantastical predictions of automation ending work altogether which despite it being an enormously useful enabling technology still haven't come to pass, it enabled people to get jobs more than it cost them jobs
I wouldn't put too much faith in biometrics either, a real shame considering their convenience.

Personally I advocate using BitWarden for commonly used logins that, if they were compromised, would not be catastrophic; perhaps in some cases because 2FA provides another, tautologically, factor, and KeePass secured with a FIDO2 device in challenge response mode, a passphrase, and possibly setting a higher key stretching work factor to further blunt any brute force attempt, in which more important data is held.
Did you miss the period when everyone was talking about micro-dosing LSD?
I have to deal with refusal to install apps from "untrusted developers" constantly, I can't even believe you wrote that.

For starters, the UI experience is terrible. You get a dialog telling you you can't install an app; close the dialog then you have to know to go to a certain Settings tab under Privacy & Security, and there will (hopefully) be some text that allows you to enable the app. This is a UI disaster. Maybe they do it so that non-technical users will give up in frustration.

Once MacOS decided that my official Oracle JRE was "untrusted", and I would get the bullshit dialog every time I started a Java process (note: I develop apps using the JVM). I had to google to learn some arcane CLI magic to disable the untrusted bits on my JRE files.

More recently, I couldn't get CIV 6 to run. Instead of telling you what to do, you get a "app is corrupted" dialog (maybe this was the fault of Steam). This required multiple enabling via the magic permissions tab. I mean, are Steam and Firaxis not "trusted developers".

All this pales in comparison to the pain when using my MOTU audio interface. Getting it to work was an enormous pain in the ass thanks to Apple security. And then MacOS would randomly decide to break things every 6-12 months, and getting it to work again requires discovering an arcane NVRAM reset procedure using magic key presses during reboot.
And what if you test the good part and there is a hotspot of carfentanyl in the line you shoot up your nose? You’re dead instantly. There is no safe way to take illicit drugs anymore.

Literally anything that any company does to try to compete can be labeled as anti-competitive. That’s why there are real lawyers…

> My citation was to point to an FTC page on bundling services, the way AWS "bundles" is the same effect

So now are you saying that all bundles are illegal even though your citation says just the opposite?

> This doesn't hold. AWS already has leverage over their customers and the cost of leaving to another cloud provider (which probably does something similar) is not worth the remedy, exactly the kind of behavior the FTC would be looking for.

So what do you think the “FTC would be looking for” when AWS and all of the cloud providers combine account for a minuscule amount of IT spend?

> EU Monopolist or Chicago?

The EU take is completely irrelevant - especially when citing the FTC.

> Your comment comes off as demeaning and uncivil. It doesn't appear that you discuss in good fair.

Honestly, you just got called out because your citation does nothing to bolster your argument and you’re just really throwing things against the wall.
We could do better, but there are still some contemporary examples. For instance it's costly to provide comprehensive medical care in rural areas. One of the effective functions of medicare / medicaid is to subsidize rural medical care.
Oh I dunno, maybe because there's so few third party needs to log keystrokes from the user. When that need arises then you have to ask why...
Agreed. Corruption was exposed. How did we ever let the exposed corrupt people control the narrative? They unsurprisingly would rather talk about (and malign) the source of the info, rather than answer to the charges. RE the source, whoever that hero whistleblower is, they deserve thanks, even if it were Russia, which it wasn't. MOVING ON, torpedoing the Sanders campaign for example is a prime example of perverting and undermining democracy in a completely boring and plausible way that doesn't involve exotic foreign bogeymen and deserves way more attention from the justice and legislative systems.
Still, this will affect senior people, junior people, salaries, everything. And not just in programming.
Yes jobs will still be there - but how many? how much will they pay compared to now? We don't know yet but whatever it is I doubt it will be like today.

It’s fine if search is a way to use System Preferences. The problem I have is that since they turned it into a “big list” search is essentially the only way I can use it. They destroyed the spatiality of the app that had created grooves in my brain over the last 20 years. Now it is very disorienting to use because I can’t efficiently browse for things.
How about

E) I understand and use GNU Parallel and also completely disagree with the author's insistence that citing tools is appropriate.

Even in your second link, almost everything listed are papers about Parallel itself. If I was writing about Parallel, I'd be fine with citing it. If instead it's the means to another end, I wouldn't.

Potentially, yes. But that case would only be good against poor _execution_ of the war on drugs, not the _concept_ that drugs need to be dealt with as if we were in a war. Activists seem to oppose the concept, which is where I disagree.
