If you want to be honest and switch careers without a pile of certifications and relevant work history… my advice is to not bother with job advertisements or anything like that. Two things…

go do stuff and get good enough you feel confident doing something you want to do that you won’t feel dishonest telling people you can do it… it doesn’t matter what this is, it’s mainly about you finding something you could potentially do as a new career and do well enough regardless of formal history or credentials that you come across confidently when talking for the second thing…

Second (and feel free to do this in parallel as it can take time for this strategy to produce rewards) go meet people. Talk to them about their stuff and try to be genuine and useful member of “society” volunteer for easy enough activities, go participate in time boxed events like this weekend events where you can hone and demonstrate some skill in the presence of others that can provide valuable feedback… generally just work mechanically and methodically at building a face to face social network of people who actually know you … then when a time comes and you’ll know because you’ll have realised you missed a few while learning and getting to know people… just mention you’ve been thinking about doing that for a living, or that you reckon you could totally do that, or sure I could fill in for that if you need someone while recruiting a long term candidate with the right credentials…

Face to face networking is hard but it can and does work.

This is obviously not a solution that fits all career changes, like this won’t work if you want to be a surgeon, or psychiatrist, or anything like that without a possible “amateur practitioner” level. It also won’t work as fast as you may like for some careers as it will for others. It’s going to work well for unregulated professional work like middle management where you need some experience in the topic but not necessarily the need to be an absolute expert in it, or necessarily enough experience to run an entire company... and you may not want a middle management job, in which case you’ll have to work longer at acquiring the skills and having confidence in them in order to gamble on you (which they are doing and what all the HR bullshit is designed to avoid, even as stupid as that seems at times it’s all just de-risking things for the company) and by being a reasonably trustworthy human who is known to a person in a position of power you can bypass that HR stuff.

Also not suggesting this can get you a job you feel you deserve or something like that, I just know that people will absolutely choose to go with a person they know and think genuinely might be able to do the job …over somebody they don’t several weeks to months from now that they will also have reservations about because hiring isn’t perfect and they might accidentally hire a drop kick that can’t do the job.

Ask HN: Do Governmental organizations have less obligations under GDPR than NGO?
As I understood it Governmental organizations do not have as great obligations under GDPR than NGOs but according to the Danish Datatilsynet I was just told that:

>The DPA can inform you that according to GDPR, controllers – whether be a public body or private company – are obligated to follow the same set of rules. There are some rules that only apply to certain types of controllers, such as GDPR article 6(e), which is only applicable to public bodies. These differences do not entail that public bodies have fewer obligations under the GDPR, than private companies.

Does anyone have any links to articles, arguments that Governmental organizations have less of an obligation than NGOs? I am wondering if I have just asked my question poorly and been told something that is technically correct but in practice will turn out to be somewhat different?

This looks great. However, after generting an API key and providing it to chatblade, I get the following error:

openai.error.AuthenticationError: Incorrect API key provided: user@dom***.tld. You can find your API key at https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys.

That is kind of weird, because the email given in that message looks valid, but does not match my OpenAI account name. Is that email encoded in the key? If so, apparently decoding worked, so why should the key be invalid?

Am I doing something wrong here, or is something round the API key stuff broken right now?

GPT4 can write clean and testable code. What it can't do are things like this:

// rewrite this function so it's portable and doesn't use uint128_t
uint64_t lemur64(void) {
static uint128_t s = 2131259787901769494;
return (s *= 15750249268501108917ull) >> 64;
}

In order to do that, you have to have a little computer scientist in you. Stuff like "asynchronous vs. concurrent vs. parallel programming" is the programming equivalent of a liberal arts degree. Who here will rise to meet my challenge? It's only doing a multiply and shift.

Canada could very easily produce nuclear weapons, even at scale, if it wanted to. The U.S. would likely even help them in doing so if the government requested the assistance. As you say, it's one of the worlds main suppliers of uranium, already possesses highly advanced nuclear technology and facilities, and has the institutional know-how to be a nuclear power with low relative cost and minimal external interference. If even South Africa made and (supposedly, see below) tested a nuclear weapon way back in the 70's, many countries today and especially Canada could do so with little economic or technical difficulty.

Scroll down to #6 and #7 in that article for the answer to the question posed in the title.

Holders of convertible bonds (which are "senior" to equity) are being forced to take a haircut before holders of common equity (which has the least seniority in the capital structure) are wiped out. To say this is unusual would be a massive understatement. In a "normal" bank failure (like with SVG), first common equity holders lose everything, then everyone else fights over what's left. This wasn't an ordinary bank failure though, the Swiss government forced UBS to buy CS, waived the requirement for shareholders to approve the transaction, and given that there was almost certainly some residual value to CS' net assets I guess they felt that shareholders had to get something out of the forced transaction.

I'm planning to do something similar but for the whole week. Remove internet access from my home (wired and mobile). Have an outside office to work (i.e libraries, coffee shops, etc) and check my messages/texts whenever i go outside/to campus and have internet access.

Granted, i'm in university and probably that's the main reason i can afford to do this. I hope that once i get used to the "new normal" my real interests will start to emerge. Build my attention and actually use my time wisely and with purpose.
> has a long and proud history of being invaded, colonised and overbred by the French

That’s not really true though unless you take an excessively liberal interpretation of what it means to be French. The Celts weren’t French, the Danes weren’t French, the Romans weren’t French, the Saxons weren’t French, and even the Normans had only been in France for a century before invading, although they picked up the local language pdq. The only people to successfully invade after 1066 were the Dutch, and they would assure you they weren’t French.
> since the keylogger isn’t going to be able to steal your private key off the hardware token, unlike for TOTP

How? I mean how can keylogger get the secret from which TOTPs are being generated?

And why wouldn't some other malware won't be able to read whatever data hardware token inputs? I'm myself yubikey user and would like to know in what ways it is more secure than TOTP, even in the scenario when my workstation gets compromised.

Good thing the joke you missed is in those 90% then.
Black widow venom is neurotoxic, and pain is its most distinguishing feature.

Tissue necrosis would suggest an infection, or a different spider bite (like a brown recluse bite). Black widow venom, on its own, doesn't lead to significant necrosis.

All spider bites, and skin punctures in general, can get infected. If infected by flesh-eating bacteria, recluse-like tissue necrosis results. This results in overreporting of brown recluse bites, due to brown recluse paranoia and availability bias.
We also have a good idea of how individual neurons work, but struggle a lot with understanding brains. Both LLMs and human brains have a lot of emergent behavior, which is why our understanding the low-level primitives only provides very limited insight.

The term "tech debt" means deliberate choices to compromise the system in a controlled way, to achieve a purpose. E.g. speed to market.

Heavily dependent on where you study.
Why, you can still be useful but only marginally so.

For instance the demand for ESL classes is largely driven by school curriculum, which in China is set by the government rather than organic market forces. Welding, on the other hand, is necessary for physical production of certain goods. It can be argued about second order effects from learning a language but from purely libertarian economic POV a welder creates more added value.
By far the biggest advantage of SVG on the web is DOM integration, thanks to its choice of XML. This enables, among other things,

- Trivial adaptive styling: the simplest case would be matching color of surrounding text;

- Easy and relatively cheap dynamic updates to individual components, trivially integrated with any DOM-manipulation tech, including declarative frameworks big and small.

I don't see a binary format easily replicating those.

Edit: Of course it's okay to have more opaque binary formats.
Argentina has big economical issues indeed, and the resulting inconveniences were what drove me away eventually, and yet out of everywhere I've been, Argentina has had by far the friendliest people I've ever met, and the easiest people to make friends with.

Spain (the government and regulations around renting places) was unfriendly to newcomers as its a very socialist country and not very welcoming to digital nomads. Everything there is built in a way to expect a local bank account, local job, etc. From the moment of trying to get a local ID card it was clear that you were not really wanted there. Processes made purposely difficult and requirements differ from police station to police station. Beautiful country, but given that I do not intend to stop working remotely as a contractor it made basic things there very difficult. Spain is quite corrupt however so if you have money you _can_ get around these issues via some lawyer agencies who get you through the door in a matter of days of what otherwise can be a half-year wait in queue, but I just found the system fighting me too much.

Finland is great though, everything runs efficiently, most of everything can be done online, just like in Estonia, but much like Estonia, very difficult to make friends and the culture in general is quite closed and people keep to themselves a lot. Most people I know here have had the same friends since highschool. So when it came down to Finland or Estonia, I just chose the one I already had friends at.

Where is the fundamental limit? It's a protocol. Somebody could create an instance that does everything right for mass adoption.
I agree. Usually you're already working within some framework or DSL where you can describe what you want to do. Ideally, you already have an idiomatic codebase enabling you to succinctly transform specifications into code.

Let's take parent poster's issues:

> Writing HTTP endpoints, parsing json. Mapping data types.

The generative model (for now) won't figure out for you: authentication, authorization, input form schema, JSON schema, required & optional fields, field constraints, entity modeling, indexing, query optimization, just to name a few basic issues we are looking at when "just developing CRUD apps".

If any of those go bad, it would result in 400s, 500s, performance or security issues.
PSA: Be careful with xylitol. It's lethally toxic to dogs and still 60% of the calories of regular sugar. I would prefer stevia for sweetening.
For sure. I had to read the paper to discover it's trash.

But if you read the abstract, it looks like they thoroughly assessed how GPT will impact many professions.

The sentence "Using a new rubric, we assess occupations based on their correspondence with GPT capabilities, incorporating both human expertise and classifications from GPT-4." does not scream to me "We asked 5 random people with no expertise in either these professions or GPT-4 what they thought and report those results".

This is borderline dishonest.

>Is this typical for CS undergraduate degrees because you get to pick your own classes?

In my country you get to pick just a small percent of classes and the foundational ones are mandatory for anyone.

>Database Systems (relational algebra, SQL)

We did shitload courses on databases in both undergraduate and graduate programs. Not my favorite but they were useful. There's now way to not deal with databases as a programmer.

> Concurrent Programming

Did that and parallel programming, too.

> Network programming

Did that as a subset of Operating systems course, where we had to tackle many aspects uf Linux systems programming

We did a lot of other courses that were at least just as important. Algorithms, Data structures, 3D programming, Testing (forgot how the course was called), Formal Languages and automata, Data mining, ML, AI, Digital circuits, Cryptography, Big data, Cloud, Complexity, Web, Semantic Web etc.

I don't know about CS graduates, but I've seen with 5 to 10 years of experience lacking basic skills such as commonly used sort algorithms and time complexity. Their justification was in lines of: "I know JS and TypeScript and React and I don't need anything else".
That is certainly true about the hype-machine it is in full force. I imagine that will level off soon and the really useful and novel stuff will float to the top. I have no backup plan but as you said, what happens is going to happen? It's a rollercoaster for me personally where some days I am in absolute dread and fear about the future. Then other days I just go along my day as usual.
That would only prove that there's enough gold in a pile to send you some. It doesn't prove the entire ledger is accurate.

If you're dealing with physical goods, there's always an analogue hole unless there's a (usually centralised) authority standing by to penalise attempts to subvert the system.

One can conceive of "for-now-unforgeable" NFT-isation of physical items, perhaps based on random physical phenomena like metal grain patterns, with the fingerprints stored in the blockchain. But this would be expensive and is a disadvantage compared to the "gold in a pile at least as big as we told you" system. And it's still open to kinds of abuse: e.g. you can secretly melt some coins down and recast them into new ones, as long as you can avoid anyone asking to see the "burned" ones, and you can also file fake fingerprints for coins that don't exist, that no one really owns, in the ledger so they won't need to be proven, but they inflate your ledger's value.
Yes Bayesian filters work well for this.

I had an idea Splunk had them built in? But it's about 5 lines of Python anyway.
IMHO, there could be a tipping point of scaling "primate" brain. For a given task, when size of brain can handle so much knowledge that unknowns are fewer than knowns, the advantage grows exponentially. Because you can deduce outcomes correctly by eliminating the wrong answers without actually "understands" the problem itself.

> collectively as a species we're going to start feeling a whole lot less special.

If that's the case, expect a massive backlash from the spiritual types, which basically means every other person. The centrality of man is essential to the abrahamic religions that dominate the planet, and other ones too will struggle to come to terms with seeing ghosts in the machine. I suspect organized religions will find ways to officially ostracize Machine Learning over the next decade. They'll form an alliance with people whose jobs are threatened, and pass laws to smother or ban research and deployment.

I am not a believer in an "AI revolution" or singularity, I think they're still one step up from parlor tricks, and anyway the world can evolve as fast as it can devolve (a nuke or two and we're in the ancient world again), but it feels inevitable that we're going to experience some significant neoluddite movement very, very soon.

Considering generational trauma left in my family by mass famine, no thank you.
I generally think deploying first and asking questions later is the way to go—when you run in to problems, you get a good opportunity to debug your software development processes to try and prevent similar issues down the line. Something’s going to catch fire eventually, and having good processes built up from past experience is a blessing.

Deploying something buggy on a Monday is a very different situation from deploying something buggy at 5pm on Friday, though. Most of the time your customers aren’t going to care about getting a feature 3 days early, but your team WILL care that their weekend just got eaten up for no reason.

This is not the case if you disable the "lock with master password on restart" option. In that case only your PIN is guarding access the the vault data.

Using a PIN shouldn't have to mean weakening the security, since there's several secure implementation options of a PIN. (See other comments about Windows Hello for example)
