Good question, I'm also interested in the answer. Probably has something to do with K8s being backed by Google, which has battle tested it in the form of their internal Borg infrastructure.
You misspelled "superfluous groups of people in enclosed spaces", which is why we had a pandemic in the first place. Some folks just can't be satisfied with a warning and have to stick the fork in the outlet for themselves.
When electric sound amplification came along, it put most professional musicians out of business. Instead of an orchestra all you need is a band of 3 or 4.

Making music expanded though. In the sense that more people played, there was more variety, and indeed more professional musicians today than 100 years ago. (the bar for entry is also lower, and most are permantly broke - take that as you will.)

Some orchestras still exist. But they're pretty rare.

So yes, alot of job descriptions and job titles will change. Making indie games just got a lot easier. But where you see loss, many others see opportunity.
I agree with the first half.

TikTok is a national security issue and a reciprocity issue and for that reason it was a bad choice of example.

You can look at other social media as a morality problem. I could see why someone would think of it that way, but we are literally quite governed by our neurotransmitters, and these companies literally have "engagement" (read: addiction) engineers. There are literally addiction engineers working on creating the state of addiction. Engineers working on figuring out how to get people to spend the maximum amount of time possible on the apps.

At some point it becomes a health issue. Stimulus is stimulus. Dopamine dysfunction is real.

What's the difference between scrolling an infinite feed for 10 hours and feeling good on an opium den couch for 10 hours? I am not saying that's a perfect comparison, but I don't think it's as simple as morality. These social media apps cause real biological response and there are engineers literally working on manipulating those responses.

You can always use Podman. We already have fully OSS solutions in the container space.
This is not new. My 1954 bay area house: the builders mixed scrap wood in to the foundation concrete to make up for undersizing the order, broken roof boards were patched with coffee cans and other garbage (coffee can had a 1940s date, it was there since built). These are just the most obvious examples.
> a mentally ill fentanyl addict

In a lot of cases they wouldn't have become mentally ill or a fentanyl addict if they weren't homeless. Yes, addiction drives tons of people into homelessness, but homelessness can also cause addiction since a homeless life kinda sucks.
Instead of grinding away over a piece of code, I will get to talk to people more?

Doesn't sound like such a bad deal to me.

I get your point, of course. I just think communication can be like a craft, challenging and rewarding. I try to frame things positively, it helps me stay motivated at work.
> Maybe they should toughen up a little bit.

Not listening when someone wrongly labels you and calls you names seems like a healthy response? At least compared to losing your mind in front of a federal judge?

> Some states in the US want to tell adults how to dress based on the characteristics of their private parts.

Yeah, that's not good. But I'd imagine law students losing their cool over a judge whose rulings never touch that particular trans issue make it less likely Americans give these draconian and illiberal laws a second thought.

So -- nice job, goofball. You've stepped on our collective dicks and proven how ridiculous progressives can be once again. Love nothing more than you proving how impotent and self important we can be.
The cheap 2x4s are the most significant point of failure. The houses will twist and warp to many extremes during their lifetimes. The first symptom of doors that won't open/shut properly usually shows in the first 10 years of these houses. In a 1920s home built with domestic timber, that process would take a lifetime. After 30 years, this contributes to all sorts of creaks and leaks. Repairs are questionable and don't last as long because the frame of the structure is unstable.
You can do this with ionice/nice/renice at the start of the operation—or with a wrapper script—but various daemons have existed to hang out and apply a policy for at least 22 years starting if I recall correctly with "and "the autonice daemon. ananicy ulatencyd or if you are lazy call a script with a cron job.

Count me in. I was doing the advent of code and tried to solve one problem with a tree that had parent references. Much thinking was done trying to please the borrow checker with no results, add some inner mutability and I got stucked.

I agree that it should be more prominent in some place. I got most of my info about that in StackOverflow and I tried using a hashmap to simulate the tree structure, but I don't think I finished that one.
None of it is especially interesting or controversial... it's just a lot of details which make up the supply and demand.

There is no pithy "this is the deep reason why", which is what it seems they want to hear.
Ah yes, because governments don't protect the people in charge of Nuclear launch codes and they certainly haven't thought about those people getting blacked mailed by LLMs or other parties.

Aren't diapers known as one of the most frequently shoplifted items? I guess they could be some kind of challenge for kleptomaniacs, but it seems more likely they're expensive essential items.
The solution is the same one we should have had from the start: take some of the responsibility from peoples careers off individuals and place it on society. As mentioned above, this has always been a problem it's just that now it's a problem for intellectual careers and not just laborers.

Education (and re-education) should be at least affordable if not completely free. Unemployment benefits should be enough to live on (if not well) and be freely available to anyone getting an education. If that is "too expensive" then limit it to specific educations which are currently in short supply.

And lastly, tax income from investments exactly the same as income from labour. This part is actually necessary because if automation is a future we actually want (and we should!) then this will increasingly become the _only_ form of income.

They care about what they can afford each month. They indirectly care about the rate. The sign on the starter home neighborhood near me was $719/mo when I moved here in 2020. It crept up to 850, 970, 1100, and then they changed the sign to not have that information. Same houses.

Hopefully only sane mortgage products continue to be used so it doesn’t end up like automobile loans. Aren’t most car loans 72 months now? That’s what is required to get the monthly note affordable for most buyers.
I have exactly the same experience. Can't imagine why someone'd use Dockerhub by default for enterprise use cases nowadays.
Actually, we have started seeing it already. In my company, we have been getting lots of spam attacks(Microsoft Outlook) whose content is looks genuinely written by human being. If it not were for the email domain, we would not have been able to guess the spam.
It all depends. Most of my coworkers are friendly, some are friends. We respect each other, etc, but it most cases any contacts end when someone leaves the company. The key marker is can I discuss any matters, including inappropriate, politically incorrect? In most cases not. But with true friend we can discuss anything without a fear of being reported. And we are still in contact many year after.
Apple's business is squarely with the frontend of computing: The desktops, laptops, phones, tablets, and even watches that your mom and pop, artists, designers, and engineers use in daily life.

I don't see what Apple stands to gain from getting into the enterprise market, other than simple diversification of their portfolio.
It's incredible, but I think we're going to witness the first person who gets killed by GPT-4 in about 3~6 months.

Someone is going to blindly follow GPT-4's medical advice and meet their end.

You’re correct that “the” capital city of those countries is maybe not ideal, but “a” capital city in Australia or Canada could also mean Melbourne/Sydney or Toronto/Vancouver.

I agree with your general point, but I think it’s more about finding large cities that are likely to have an expat community.
With remote roles you no longer need two income households. Raise your kids yourself. That statement will get me downvoted, but if even one person is inspired to think that through it’s plenty worthwhile.
That would be me!

I remember the times before September 11, 2001, when I could show up at the airport about 30 minutes before my flight, get through security (which was locally operated -- no TSA), get my boarding pass at the gate, and board. It was great!

People could also meet you at the gate when you arrived, instead of outside the security area. There would always be peoples' families and loved ones there waiting for them.
It became so popular amongst selfhoster in Germany, that the companies selling them used almost doubled the prices :D There is a github with information about the S740 [0] including power measurements [1]. It’s in German, but should be partially understandable because it’s just data.

When I settled in 20 years ago, it was even worse, at least now shops and supermarkets do keep open after 6pm, and afternoons on Saturdays, on bigger cities.

And like every expat, I had to at a given point having friends as "hostage" on the restaurant while hunting for an ATM, or been the "hostage" for others not yet used to the culture. Naturally we could have paid the bill and settled it later, but that is yet another matter regarding on the how to pay culture.
Thanks for your questions. Not really the intent of my post but happy to answer:

Not really, have a closer look at anything outside. The Sun and rain and weather constantly erode the condition of human creations.

Try fixing some roads and bridges to start with. They're in terrible shape in most of the US. Any city could probably employ 10 times as many gardeners to take care of the plants and build nicer things.

Elderly need taking care of, and young people teaching. Houses need cleaning. Shoes need shinning. Endless list really.

you're forgetting the five thousand years of written, recorded history, culture, politics and societies that make up what China was and is. You're defining a country by it's state AFTER the effects of devastating colonial atrocities by everyone from Britain to Japan. And then ignoring how quickly China was able to rise to the very top of the global order from this place of poverty thanks to their commitment to their political system.

Today it is THAT business culture - currently infecting every corner of the world; inspiring billions and creating growth, wealth and infrastructure across the globe (not just into Western pockets). The manufactured US culture of Hollywood, the MSM, or Western social platforms is dying right now across the world. What comes next will not have a centre.

FWIW you are not crazy. I completely agree with every part of your comment.
Then, "I'm learning to ... (something)" sounds like a good label to me :-)

Who's going to pay for those remaining jobs?

E.g. currently mostly the middle class pays for home improvements, which creates jobs for construction workers. Remove the middle class and there's a lot less demand for construction workers - so what are the IT people turned into construction workers going to do?
If those folks are only making $35k for 40 years they're losers with no impetus for self-growth or security. If they can make $35k a year they're capable enough to make $50k a year if they work hard to improve, start a business, create value.... if you don't, then enjoy your struggles. It's a dog eat dog world, right?

This story is a great reminder why AIs don't need to perform at Nobel Laureate level in order to make almost all humans obsolete: Because almost all humans don't perform like Nobel Laureates either.

The issue here is mainly commercial.

They had guaranteed cost (hosting & serving a bunch of heavy data) and no obvious monetization play available.
US teens say they have new proof for Pythagorean theorem
Many of us, older people, had access to similar things that made us interested... in the 70/80's it was computer magazines (paper magazines, that is) as people got their first home computers and could follow along programming examples, play games etc. If you ran into trouble, you needed either help from someone you already knew or you would have to find a book or manual.

In the 90's most teens already had access to a primitive internet where they could chat with anyone in the world using BBS[1], which was not too different from a modern social network. Email was already a thing as well for some time, but probably became widespread at this time... by the late 90's the internet was already quite similar to today for geeks, except perhaps videos (and even high resolution pics) were not a thing due to the low speed of the net.

StackOverflow and GitHub only came around in the late 2000's, which is basically yesterday. Before them, there were similar sites as well (the infamous expertsexchange for SO, and SourceFourge for GH, for example) for quite some time, but they surely became very dominant in their areas.

You’re taking a central planner’s view of a decentralized system. You can’t say “here’s a problem; let’s just make it go away.”

> Hi! There are many of us who exist outside of the US and would be open to planes flying faster because the world is super big.

Sure, but that isn’t particularly affected by restrictions on supersonic flight over the US.
Wait till more developers are being affected and their pie in the sky ideas about the future don’t come true. I promise you the tune they’re singing will instantly change.
The low wages cannot go any lower. As it stands, poor workers in the US already don't make nearly enough to survive. They just keep increasing their debt until they either climb the ladder or die of an overdose or some other tragedy.
The fact that the industrial revolution created better life for most people doesn't prove an AI revolution will do the same.

The classical counter-example are horses - the industrial revolution increased the demand for horses, but once the cars became cheap horses numbers and jobs drastically decreased.
"I’ve heard it argued that Tylenol would never be approved by the FDA were it introduced as a new medication."

You're likely right on the grounds that it's not a particularly good painkiller—my own experience is that it's marginally better than nothing (which is also pretty much the official position)—and on its now well defined dangers.

The combined assessments would likely be insufficient for approval.
I share much of your sentiment and find it surprising how difficult it’s been to discuss the matter and find developers willing to have a serious discussion about it. There are serious market forces at play here that will impact all of us. I don’t have time right now to write an adequate response, but will do so soon and appreciate reading a post like yours.
> Do you think those rental units disappear off the market?

There have been reports on this which observed the properties being removed from the housing market, so yes.

Its supposedly not worth the risk/effort to find renters which could potentially wreak your property, never pay and need to be evicted.

That makes it more cost -effective to just hold onto the property while paying someone to occasionally check up on it until it's resold for profit
>> The poor areas rapidly gain wealth but at great cost to the environment and the whole thing is dependent on a never-ending fire hose of capital and tech transfers from the “wealthy” areas.

While I sympathize with your angst at the coming future, a future where the US isn't the highest, I see that for most of the world your prediction is both highly desirable, and inaccurate.

Firstly, let's dispel the great-cost-to-the-environment myth. The US has done, and continues to do great harm to the environment. Indeed many developing nations are skipping the harmful phase and embracing new tech like solar , better urban planning and so on.

Also, while it's fun to posit that thd globe depends on US capital, there's a bigger picture in play. TikTok is developed without western capital, suddenly its a surveillance risk (because Facebook and Google wouldn't spy on me).

Sure there's environmental cost to development, but complaining about the environment of others is a bit rich for the US (as it approves drilling in Alaska). The US accounts for 25% of global emissions, and about 5%ish of thd World population.

So yeah - you want your job yo be remote? Be careful what you wish for.
It’s weird that the insurance industry hasn’t capitalized on this. Make people pay for covering the risk that their house will drop in value, and make money on the fact that the vast majority of houses will rise in value.
I'm not convinced this analysis holds up to the numbers. China imports around $135B of food per year. Before the war Russia was exporting around $35B. Admittedly a lot of the Chinese imports are luxury foodstuffs but that's still a big big gap. China can't feed itself, even with Russia's help. This is a recurring problem throughout China's history.

I think you underestimate the importance of "plasticky trinkets." Exports are the backbone of the Chinese economy. Without them it can't afford to import food, and millions of Chinese starve. If China declares war and isolates itself so that Russia is its primary remaining trade partner, millions of Chinese starve.

The biggest importers of food to China today are the US, Brazil, Australia, and a handful of Southeast Asian countries - basically that's all gone if China goes to war or isolates itself in some other way.

Now I mean sure anything can happen in a war and the CCP might very well choose to let millions of Chinese starve, they've done it before. My point here was that isolation would inflict terrible and permanent damage to China. A war is unlikely to happen in the first place because not only is this damage so great, but China would probably lose any battle that wasn't very close to their home theatre.

By the way, Chinese food security is a great topic for illustrating how dysfunctional they are as a country. Here's an article on the topic - https://www.cfr.org/article/china-increasingly-relies-import... - basically they don't have food security, achieving it is one of their top priorities, and they are failing to achieve that priority. The cost to grow soybeans in China is 30% higher than in the US, and the yield is 60% lower!
People are wow’d by the features of Obsidian however it comes at a significant cost of usability. I love using Bear too and btw they are supporting backlinks with 2.0 which just hit public beta.

Also Obsidian weirds me out that they will not have a third-party security audit + give full access to plugins. Bear had Cossack Labs help implement their E2EE which is great for peace of mind.

Props to Reflect for their security audit too. I will be keeping an eye on how they progress.

My understanding is that k8s was definitely never used internally at google (at least at the beginning). They may have learned some lessons from Borg, but k8s is very very much not Borg nor a Borg component. I remember lack of battle testing and architectural differences being a key criticism when k8s was released.
