Social security is basically poverty wages at this point. Back in the day it went further, and people didn't live as long. Nowadays a 65 year old might reasonably expect to live into their 80s if not 90s with advances in healthcare, that takes a lot of funding.

Plus some of us would like something to leave for our kids/grand-kids, although I get that's not a priority for everyone. Personally my family on both sides came up from hooverville levels of poverty in the depression to middle class post WWII, to my parents being the first in their families to get advanced degrees and making it into the upper middle class. I'm a recipient of inheritance from both of said generations which has seriously improved my quality of life, it's my duty to at least maintain that status for my immediate family, and given that the lower rungs of the socioeconomic ladder are fewer and further between than they used to be, that means leaving substantial amounts to my kids/grandkids. Maybe in another generation or two we'll have enough familial wealth to live off the interest if we want. Sooner if I'm lucky.

I agree. Even if its only public for one sec it should be considered compromised. However, everything is a risk management question, so knowing the amount of time it was exposed is helpful for other orgs to determine their response to this incident. Same if there was an accesslog.
Rawlsian justice is actually an enormously influential idea in political philosophy, arguably the most influential in the 20th century. It has 3 central principles that work together:

1. You enable equality of opportunity.

2. You allow the chance for "winners" and "losers".

3. You adopt the original position ("the veil of ignorance") because no one has foresight into their place of birth and the conditions therein (ie. no one can a priori help themselves), therefore you enact the "difference principle" which states that, insofar as you allow the chance for "winners" and "losers", governments enact policy in such a way that the majority of the benefits of those policies go to the "losers" over the "winners".

There has, of course, been enormous debate on the nature of Rawlsian justice, but it's not like "just" has to immediately equate with communism. Most modern western democracies are implicitly (and sometimes explicitly) modelled on Rawls' idea.
I went on a weeks-long sailing expedition as a teenager and realized after my first couple days at sea that I could smell land from over the horizon.

If we were passing downwind of a landmass I could smell it even if I couldn't see it!

Both trees and regular dirt have a smell that carries for miles and miles and when you've been on a fiberglass boat with no trees and dirt for days the smell really, really, stands out.

I imagine that ancient maritime explorers, at sea in the vast oceans for weeks not days, would have been able to smell remote forested and guano-covered islands for hundreds of miles.
I love awk! It's incredibly clean and direct.

Once I wrote a 300-line Awk script to install a kernel driver. It would scan a hardware bus, and ask the user questions before loading the driver onto the system. Lots of fun!
Having this depend on env vars is an anti-feature in my mind. It's much harder to ensure env vars are set to the "right" values in all situations then it is to just use some well-known paths.

> Also they realised at some point in development that mario just wasn't fun to control so they put a lot of effort into that.

The story I recall is that before they did anything else they worked on how Mario felt to control, having him jump around in an empty room until that alone was fun to play with.
This is a logical fallacy. If the are dangerous for one group there are dangerous for all groups, similar to how a bomb is just a dangerous tool no matter who welds it.

You can make the argument that you "need the tool to fight back against bad actors" but seeing as how I don't want everyone to freely be able to walk around with 50 lbs of C4, I think a similar argument could be made here.

How do you cool "true 3D"? With 2.5D, the cooler goes on top.
I agree open-source doesn’t mean necessarily safety.

But this isn’t about mega-corp vs startup who is better at changing the world.

There is a potential major civilization-ending downside to the amount of change true AGI could bring before we could control it. Or at the very least an unaccountable central autocrat who will own the entire world if they can control the AGI.

OP is suggesting open source is one way to shine sunlight on the innovations that are happening that we will all be affected by and thus should have a voice in controlling.
The "who are the elites?" question is one that many people struggle with when looking for who to point a finger at for modern economic woes. A lot us who post on this site are in technical fields and are well-compensated. So it wouldn't shock me if many people in the world consider "us" to be part of "them".

In this case though, we're simply talking about inflation. One cause of inflation that you've neglected to mention is quantitative easing and how it's been used to artificially lower interest rates while allowing for higher deficits. I'd suggest you start there before you strawman people who disagree with you as "conspiracy theorists"...

Yep. Especially given that basically all modern laptops (and some PCs) ship with TPMs and ssh can use it via the TPM PKCS#11 lib. I'm using that daily on multiple machines and it's working great.

I'm not doubting that someday AI will able to do better than junior devs, even to lower-level of senior devs. But I doubt they'll able to replace those of higher level seniors, at least not in tens of years.

Then I predict we'll get more business analysts than programmers, since managements will still need people to translate their needs to AI.
Are the statements about the quality of the copy true as well? I had always assumed, it's digital, so it either works or it doesn't. I know there are problems emulating some games well, but I always thought that was because of shortcomings in the emulator or things like chips on the game cartridge that also need to be emulated.

> I liked this article, but I thought the Delete button example with "maximum juice" was a very poor user experience.

This is a fair point, but I got the impression that the Delete button in question wasn't meant to say "here's how to make a Delete button better", but rather "here's what I'm talking about when I use this term that might be unfamiliar". The elevator music on the "max juice" setting was pretty clearly tongue-in-cheek.

Having examples that start at 0% usage of the concept and go all the way to 200% usage makes it more clear what it actually is.
Also the rich who lives off capital gains pay much less tax than people earning their income from work.

For instance our PM Rishi Sunak has paid 24% tax on his £1.9m income last year, while the tax man takes 39% from my wage.

This should be fixed, but Sunak who was pushing for higher taxes on the workers, would never do that.

This is absolute scandal the rich can avoid paying their fair share this way.

Higher prices don't mean more profit. People adjust their behavior and retailers eat some of the costs of higher prices. They'll sell a lot less. Their revenue might not even go up necessarily
pass down wholesale price increases, etc.

I think it is very important to note that when it comes to grocery price increases, even if suppliers are raising their prices (and this isn't always the case), groceries stores aren't just passing down wholesale price increases, they're raising prices even further.

For grocery stores, this isn't an issue with (unqualified) "inflation", it's an issue of price gouging.

"We did X at Google" for me has become an antipattern and a red flag.
The key part:

If a request is canceled after the request is pushed onto the incoming queue, but before the response popped from the outgoing queue, we see our bug: the connection thus becomes corrupted and the next response that’s dequeued for an unrelated request can receive data left behind in the connection.

For python, I believe a correct use of mmap for large files (ex: pickles) could offer a lot of advantages.

Basically every Mario game after Mario 64 had some sort of mechanic to help you correct a badly aimed jump, which is very handy since platforming is a tricky thing in 3D. Mario Sunshine had FLUDD's hover nozzle, Mario Galaxy had the spin, Mario Odyssey has Cappy.

Going back to Mario 64 now does feel quite primitive and can feel frustrating at times.

> Then I predict we'll get more business analysts than programmers

Why would analysts be harder to replace than devs?

The question is - how will competition influence the job market? if everyone has AI, everyone has the same powers. So how do you differentiate yourself? You put more humans in the loop, like "human plugins". You need humans to extract the most from AI.

I've wondered about this too. Like, what's the advantage of it?

It looks like they've gone back and forth on this. RHEL 7 and 6 used LTS kernels. Before that, RHEL 5 did its own thing instead of using the LTS. Of course, RHEL also supports these kernels for much longer than the original maintainers. RHEL 6 (released in 2010) still has another year of Extended Life-cycle Support into 2024, even though end-of-life for the 2.6.32 LTS kernel was in 2016.

Looking at everything now, I see that Ubuntu 18.04 and 14.04 also chose non-LTS kernels. Interesting.
Pretty cool no doubt, but it seems that people are mostly discovering the power of Wolfram Alpha for the first time. It has been able to do stuff like this for over a decade now, just without a conversational chat interface.

Use svelte. Trust me. JS/TS + html and css

The biggest svelte complaint I see is that there aren’t enough libraries. That’s because it is trivial to built things with svelte. And as a UI engineer you should know how to build, not just npm install some-shit

That’s not so - were it the case, food would be more expensive in more populous countries, and this is demonstrably not the case. If anything, a larger consumer base allows greater economies of scale.

This is a supply side issue, a labour issue, a border issue, and a stagnant economy issue. Productivity in the U.K. flatlined years ago, with the 2008 recession, and what is being experienced there remains the after effects of the bungled policy decisions at the time.
It's not a problem caused by brexit; it's just a problem made less severe by zero-trade barriers with the countries you're importing food from.

The UK is one of the most import-dependent nations in europe, and the world; it's easy to give good reasons to suppose had the UK been in the EU it would have seen below-average inflation.
True, but why would they acquire a company for something they already have: the users and the logs. The tech is trivial.

Again, I agree that hardware compatibility issues suck... Personally, I think life's too short to live with glitches like that - ASMedia chips are used in a lot of PCIe USB cards these days as well, but I've had good luck w/ Renasas cards in the recent past (when I was running VFIO). These USB cards are all pretty cheap ($20-40), so I'd order a few to try and keep the one that works the best.
Outside of chemistry, liquids are typically measured in litres (AmE: liters), a metric unit of capacity equal to the volume of one kilogram of water at 4°C (39°F) and at standard atmospheric pressure of 760 millimeters of mercury.

"Gallons" are not a universal metric:

For the US, 1 Liter of milk = 0.2641720524 (US) Gallons.

For the UK, 1 Liter of milk = 0.2199692483 (UK) Gallons.

Because this has been and still is confusing, the standard unit of liter was introduced as a universal alternative (no flamebait intended).
Does anyone else find it a bit off-putting how much emphasis they keep putting on "open source library"? I don't think I've read about this without the word open source appearing more than once in their own messaging about it. Why is it so important to emphasize that the library with the bug is open source?

The cynic in me wants to believe that it's a way of deflecting blame somehow, to make it seem like they did their due diligence but were thwarted by something outside of their control. I don't think it holds. If you use an open source library with no warranty, you are responsible (legally and otherwise) to ensure that it is sufficient. For example, if you break HIPAA compliance due to an open source library, it is still you who is responsible for that.

But of course, they're not claiming it's anyone else's fault anywhere explicitly, so it's uncharitable to just assume that's what they meant. Still, it rubs me the wrong way. I can't fight the feeling that it's a wink wink nudge nudge to give them more slack than they'd otherwise get. It feels like it's inviting you to just criticize redis-py and give them a break.

The open postmortem and whatnot is appreciated and everything, but sometimes it's important to be mindful of what you emphasize in your postmortems. People read things even if you don't write them, sometimes.

> the 80% is normal hard working people who don't like hard working

Another way to look at it is that 80% of Bitcoiners don’t like the value of their hard work to be continuously debased at a rate of 2-8+% year after year or being subjected to the whims of the Fed’s money printer which recently expanded the entire money supply by over 40% then claimed it wouldn’t drive inflation before claiming that inflation was temporary.

I had to read the code when hooks came out, because I couldn't believe they'd done the thing that the documentation of hooks' behavior sure made it look like they'd done.

Sure enough, they had. I was left in a state somewhere between dumbfounded and amused. Reading the justifications for what they'd done just made both reactions more intense.
Experience has taught me not to be the first to beta-test a new package update, and don't blindly update. I used to run Arch and have run into scenarios multiple times where I've been unable to boot into a desktop environment because of an update. They were recoverable issues, but still cost me time and motivation for that day.

That, and updates are just a constant stream - there is always a new package to update every single day.

And as a separate issue, but the quality of software has taken a sharp decline lately as we all start switching to flatpaks and snaps (a correlation, not causative). More and more software is Electron-based and the quality of the non-Electron based software has more or less tanked.

Not many hobby programmers are making desktop software anymore.
AI weights are as much a mechanical, non-creative result of the training set and the netowrk initial state as other AI outputs are a mechanical, non-creative result of the prompt and the network trained state, so except that the input is bigger for the weights case for the same model as it would be for the output case, I don't see a difference.
People should have the right to practice their own religion/beliefs regardless of whether other people consider it to be sincerely held or not. However, that doesn't mean that they have to follow the requirements themselves.

If a religion prevents a person from working on specific days, then that person shouldn't be forced to work on those days, but similarly, a workplace shouldn't be forced to employ them if they can't arrange a suitable compromise (e.g. they don't work Saturdays, but they can cover all the Sundays).
Because the startups are (hopefully) adding value whereas the people we're talking about are robbing the UK blind whilst offering little of value in return. One is competence, the other is extortion.
My conspiracy theory is that all of the "we take security very seriously" talk out of OpenAI has aligned with "our AI is so advanced and powerful that we have to take these existential risks very seriously and we have to make sure it doesn't turn evil." And OpenAI doesn't seem very interested in security conversations that don't feed into that narrative[0].

I think it's (mostly) just propaganda. OpenAI focuses on dangers that make their AI seem more advanced than it is, and ignore dangers that don't play well to the press (like clientside validation). I'm not even sure it's standard "we care about your security" company talk, I think it's mostly designed just to make people think of GPT as more cutting edge.

The "GPT paid someone to solve a captcha" release seems like pure publicity stunt to me, given that solving captchas by pretending to be blind is something other systems can already do without human help. But it played well in press releases.

----

[0]: To be fair, they have been focusing on alignment, but I honestly don't think alignment is a security measure, I think it's a general performance measure. We haven't seen strong evidence that alignment can stop prompt injection attacks, so I think mostly OpenAI mostly just cares about the potential negative press from their AI randomly insulting people.
Will this kill all websites?

Why would someone even go to WolframAlpha now if they can access it from ChatGPT and get a much better experience?

Now extrapolate that, and ChatGPT is all you need.

You will not even need photoshop, as you will be able to tell the chat agent to do what you want and re-generate the image.

Will voice then replace chat?
