> We have two oceans

China is in possession of ICBMs with a reported range of 15,000 km, allowing them to threaten U.S. interests with or without intervening oceans. Unless you truly regard the U.S. has having no interests abroad, in which case, once war breaks out, the economic chaos that follows may disabuse you of that perspective.
I suppose I shouldn't necessarily imply "truly sophisticated" but one group of depositors would just say "of course the Fed will support the depositors, there's no reason to worry" your argument about insolvency is correct.
Tanks may have made cavalry obsolete (was is tanks? I don't know), but they didn't make generals obsolete. When was there ever a military engagement that was described in terms of commanders facing off? It's been the story since the beginning of war.

Likewise there are decision makers in civilian life. They decide all sorts of things, sometimes relying on people to implement their decisions, sometimes machines. Sometimes they use a machine to replace a lower level decision maker. But there's always a boss.

This is what will determine whether your job is automated away.

I actually disagree except in the case of programming/software books. Unless the book is for an unusual example or early version of a language or piece of software, it's going into the landfill in 5 years no matter what.
This is a technically correct explanation but doesn't tell us anything. Obviously they did it because they can, otherwise they wouldn't have done it by definition. But why did they do it? Why did they go from "can't" in the years leading up to it to "can" a year or so ago?

I hate to be devil's advocate, but archive.org has a problem with curation of their free library. Some stuff there breaks some terms of service of the original owners, like the leaked PS2 SDK https://archive.org/details/ps2_sdks, old and irrelevant as it may be today. Or cracked games that are still availiable online https://archive.org/details/gtasa210apk

I wish them to stay providing service, but maybe a quick checkup about "why is this stored here" or "isn't any other site more capable or well equipped to store and defend the right to access this content" would help giving it more of a defense against copyright holders

What are you talking about? You don't seem to have even a basic understanding of this subject. You were fundamentally wrong about needing to outlaw child labor. You didn't seem to know what the Fair Labor Standards Act was until I introduced it to you.

Capitalist are currently working to reintroduce child labor to the US to undercut wages. It's embarrassing for you to respond when you've displayed such a lack of understanding on the topic.

"Every decade following 1870, the number of children in the workforce increased, with the percentage not dropping until the 1920s.[6] Especially in textile mills, children were often hired together with both parents and could be hired for only $2 a week.[7] Their parents could both work in the mill and watch their children at the same time"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_labor_in_the_United_Stat...

Child labor increased during the industrial revolution. You are simply wrong.
I mean, sure. We buy 6-liter jugs of water and then drink out of cups and water bottles. We're not animals ;)

The F-16 never really "excelled" at multirole operations. It was pressed into that because there were no other options available. But it has always had an insufficient fuel fraction and is forced to depend on constant tanker support to accomplish anything. The tankers are becoming more vulnerable.
Has Magnus or a similarly good player ever played against an AI using an AI to assist him? That sounds like it could be interesting.
> It was recommended to me for losing weight lol.

Are you serious? SS is notorious for making people fat, or even obese. Rippetoe has repeatedly said he doesn't care about your abs, and tells you not to run. This guy recently went viral as a another SS "success": https://old.reddit.com/r/StartingStrength/comments/y0ybtd/ad...

> Are there other lifting protocols more designed for fat loss?

Cardio is better for fatloss, tbh, and lifting in a deficit is best pursued as a way to preserve muscle mass and maximize the weight lost from fat. If you're a newb you can recomp somewhat, but it becomes harder the longer you train and leaner you get. SS is too low volume of a porgram to aid much in fat loss, and a higher volume (more reps per set, more sets) hypertrophy program would burn more calories, build more muscle (and increase your BMR) but you really should try to incorporate regular cardio, especially that you enjoy and can maintain.

Your diet should be high protein (at least 1g per lb. of bw, but with the obese, height in cm. is used instead, so target 1g per cm. of height), again, to shift the balance towards fat vs. muscle loss, and high in carbohydrate (fruit, veg, whole grain) to fuel workouts, replenish glycogen, and spare muscle protein, and low in fat (especially low in saturated fat).
EPIC unfortunately is all the bad things about Google, and none of the good.

Unable to ship anything, protect their margin > help the users solve problems, monopoly, locked up distribution so no one else can innovate.

Honestly, my bear case for AI in medicine is Epic picking up the phone and telling health-systems not to buy anything because they are working on something for them for free. (Which would be some note completion BS stuff, rather than actual clinical support that helps patients and cuts costs). They may be doing this already.
It's hard to predict. Consider bank tellers. ATMs initially allowed banks to run more local branches, resulting in more jobs. But now that ATMs, especially the ones inside, are VERY full function, the job numbers are reducing fast.

But I got arduinos to go with them because I doubt they will work directly from an esp. I think the big reason arduino can get away with charging so much is they must have some sort of educational institution market buying their products. The software and community support that comes with them is nice to have.
I'm not sure what is your definition of a "real pro" but for me personally:

* Docker performance - even the top-of-the-line MBP I have cannot handle a few services in a docker-compose before starting to error about loosing CPU cycles or the TCP/IP communication between the services dying

* I cannot use a proper titling WM like i3/sway. There are some hacks but they fall apart and they're nowhere near as configurable as I would want

* I get attacked by ads telling me to upgrade to iCloud+

* Most importantly - it is very different than the environment where I run stuff (Linux node/server/etc.) so there's another layer of complexity and problems attached when developing on it to be deployed there compared to developing on Linux (even a different distro than the target)

* In general I feel like the OS is treating me like an idiot when using it - the feeling is displeasing
Warning: speculation incoming.

Yeah that's me. I'm hoping that if I keep up to speed as much as possible I'm employable for the next 20-30 years until (early) retirement.

I started transitioning away from programming before that (for unrelated reasons) but I'm starting to think that it was a good call. If I am to become the COBOL guy of the future I'd consider that a win.

We'll see I guess.
I don't know Israel very well but growing up Democracy felt like an alive & exciting form of government, that could bring in fresh blood.

But there seemingly is so much less chance & ability for folks to show their promise, to rise to prominence. And we have so many other institutions that are also wholly static: senators & supreme court justices that never move aside, that never let new folks rise up.

Again I want to emphasize my ignorance in the particulars of this country but my very simplistic gut feel is that this is country to is beset by more sad all-too Dynastic politicking, and that this obstructs better opportunities & better outcomes from arising.
my point was that the layoff rationalization posts on HN are irrelevant

I'm an Italian citizen and my wife is American. Getting the necessary paperwork to be married in Rome was a considerable pain. We were dealing with an especially officious dignitary in at the consulate in London.

However something wonderful happened when one of the comune we were dealing with in Italy attempted to frustrate the actions of the consulate bureaucrat. The London official, who had previously been our nemesis, suddenly flipped allegiance, and we were transported effortlessly towards our goal, surfing on a tide of paper-pushing vengeance as she sought to stamp her authority over her counterparts in the provinces.
I don't worry about AI automating away my job not because I don't think it's possible (though I do think it's much much further out than the hype would suggest), but because an AI automating away software creation is the economic equivalent of nuclear war: it would irrevocably alter everything about the way the world is run and is therefore impossible to adequately prepare for on an individual basis.

Most of us in software are automating other people's jobs: we learn and understand requirements and build things that make other people more productive or erase their jobs entirely. The rate of automation is right now limited in large part by the availability and cost of software engineers. If AGI can reduce that cost to ~0, then a massive percentage of the economy would be wiped out in a matter of months. What is any individual software developer supposed to do to prepare for that scenario?
This seems to simply be an implementation of the algorithm on the GPU. I'm not saying it isn't worth doing that. But a breakthrough? I wouldn't call it that.

This won't allow faster chips. It's only a time saver.
I don't know how old everyone is, but in the 80s (in the US) we would make covers for our textbooks with brown paper grocery bags. It wasn't affectionate; at the end of the year they charged you for damage (it was before modern hyperdisposable capitalism, and the same books would be used for years and multiple students.)
This got me thinking: as more of what can be produced with existing technology, is made trivial-to-produce through enhanced automation (e.g. AI), one area that will still require labor, and that people will still be willing to expend resources on to procure, is the creation of new technology.

It would be in our interest to remove legal impediments to raising capital for new ventures, so that more of the labor freed up by automation of existing industries can be allocated to the creation of new industries.

Such a world would see more kickstarters, equity crowdsales, crypto token sales and DAOs for collaborative creation, and more people employed in the ventures these capital raising projects fund.
Whose fault is it exactly when staying at a company results in my salary going down over time?

No one is asking for endless growth on the employee side. But growth should match responsibilities, and if I gain more responsibility over time then pay should match. And if my salary can't match inflation at minimum then you're telling me I should be paid less for my current work.

Companies prefer to funnel that money to investors and as a result this is where we're at. Note that privately owned companies or worker owned companies avoid this issue more often.
Oddly enough half of my job is learning to get answers (from the physical world), the other half finding out if those answers are true. So far no human has come close to threatening my job if they don't actually care about those things. So it will be when AI learns to care about the truth.
Same reason as any other medicine: because it's effective enough to be worth the costs.

Almost nothing is 100% reliable or effective in biological systems. In this case, the initial promising results are from a small study in mice (check out OP's source). Anything could happen in the clinical trials.

No it doesn't. Wayland is the window server. [DWM](https://dwm.suckless.org) allows new windows to automatically be tiled when created. It also allows you also to change the way the tiling occurs when new windows are opened.

My new windows used to split an ever smaller portion of my screen in a fibonacci spiral based layout. I could also move between windows with hotkeys.

Rectangle is useful in a pinch, but it's no tiling window manager.
> Prime minister doing shenanigans via judiciary to give more power to prime minister

My understanding of the situation is more that the right has had many laws shot down consistently by the left leaning Israeli high court (equivalent to the supreme court in the US, except they choose their own judges, not the elected government). Recently, the right has come into a much stronger coalition (after numerous rounds of election over the past four years) and is now using the fact that they are unified enough to finally remove some (most?) of the power the court holds over the Knesset (parliament).
Israel does not have a constitution, and so the seperation of powers is not well defined. Netanyahu has personal interests in a weakened judiciary (he is a corrupt individual), and his allies have political interests (they don't want liberal judicial oversight over their narrow majority religious/far-right aims). Protests are over the government's proposal for judicial reform -- imagine if US congress votes to disallow Supreme Court to ever strike down its legislation. That is the fight.

Concerns in Israel are that by defanging the Judiciary, the country will inevitably be at the mercy of the narrow majority. These concerns have economic and security as well as political basis, according to those who oppose the plan.

Right. But now Squarespace can integrate a prompt that has a conversation with you and build a site and continues to iterate on it until you’re happy. This adds very little cost to Squarespace. Maybe it gets most people to 80%. The last 20% will be a service provided by a human.

My hope (as a mid 30s developer) is that I can effectively use AI to become a Me+ version of myself, and this helps me level up my career enough that I appropriately ride the AI wave, pick the right engineering positions/companies, and am able to effectively retire in ~5-10 years.

I really do feel that I have like 5 years left of my currently high income before I am making what my plumber friend makes. I'm OK with that, as I'll be out of the early child rearing years, but also, phew, it's scary!
No. The point of the article, as I understand it, is to show how much easier upgrading OS versions has become. OS upgrades used to be rare and slow, because you needed to buy the CD. You used to need to make sure everything was backed up, or in this case, have multiple drives or partitions, because the processes often went wrong.

Now it seems like these upgrades just happen when we sleep and people want them on day 1. And they’re much easier.
You don’t need to finish calculating pi/4 to know that it is a non-computable number, whereas all positive integers are computable, which is why the length of that segment will never show up in the generator.

My assertion is simply that the infinity of the positive integers is different from the infinity of the reals in the sense that the infinity of the positive integers can be computed to arbitrarily large measure given enough time.

Whereas for the reals, we’ll forever be stuck on pi/4 and never get to e. That given arbitrary time, we can only compute a non-measurable number of reals.

Which makes the infinity of the positive integers more “real” than the infinity of the reals, because we can use measurable things in algorithms, whereas non-measurable things require a leap of imaginative voodoo that I imagine you would rather not take.

If you prefer to take the infinity of the positive integers as literally the same as the infinity of the reals, then you’d have to believe that all finite sets of reals have positive measure within the reals. Sure, both infinities can be considered “unknowable” in that we cannot generate the entire thing so cannot generate/know all their properties, but we can generate the measure property. So they should both satisfy it.

Also, intuitively I think we should be able to prove the halting problem wrong, if all finite sets of reals are positively measurable, but don’t quote me on that! But I feel like taking such a property would imply that the spectral gap problem is computable, which then bunks the halting problem, and the concept of non-computable numbers altogether.
Somehow I feel like there's a ToS violation in here.

On the topic of accidentally doing lots of extra queries, I love using Model.objects.raw to control exactly how it’s retrieving model data. I love how it keeps the results inside the Model realm but gives you careful control.

I also like that if you access fields you didn’t ask for, it’ll go get them. But I wish it screamed louder when this happened. “Your logic works but we had to do extra queries. This might be an error!” So the featured article is incredibly valuable. This ought to be built-in.

Just a reminder that the Silicon Valley you're talking is not a place and his people are not a tribe that just happened to live there, like a nation or culture, somewhere in the world, you can target with your feelings of resentment towards somebody different.

These people are all around you, in every city, in every school. Some are smarter, some are more ambitious. Some can relocate, some can't.

There is a fierce competition and only a few of those people flock where the stuff is happening. Money precedes, and follows.

One attractor shadows others, as attractors often do.

VoteVote: Different the Outcome of an Election Can Be
I can empathize with you; I do hope you're able to find some relief.

My treatment was basically a targeted form of Cognitive behavioral therapy.

The first big hurdle was to learn that I had developed 'toxic hopefulness' regarding the behaviors of others: I had taught myself to eat quietly (because as a kid I learned that was the morally correct thing to do), and so I believed that because I could do it, it was reasonable to expect every other person in the world to change like I had. This is why the sounds of the city -- sirens, cars, crowds -- didn't bother me, but a single person eating did: because I had attached a moral judgement to 'correct' eating as a child.

Now, when the whole world didn't change to eat quietly like I did, I developed deep-seated moral indignation, which I covered with anger (I am very much a 'flight' person in life, except for when my misophonia triggers, and I have an emotional reflex to 'fight').

And because I was embarrassed about that anger, I added a layer of anxiety, where I was hyper-vigilant to sounds that might set off a misophonic response, which, in turn, made me that much more susceptible to people eating, or anything that could sound like someone eating. It turns out the first quarter-second of most sounds (opening doors, engines starting, boots stomping, etc) can sound like the crunch of a chip to a brain that's anxiously awaiting eating sounds.

So, if I had to boil my therapy down to a few points (and for reals -- I'm not a therapist, this is just my personal experience) it was:

1) come to terms with my toxic hopefulness and accept that there are entirely predictable ways in which the people will never change to accommodate me.

2) learn skills to manage the emotional reaction to hearing a triggering sound. For me, this came down to variations on telling myself, "This activity is natural. It is okay for people to make noise while eating" while imagining a triggering situation. I started really simple, for seconds at a time, before building up to more intense imaginal situations.

Those two combine such that it took a stronger sound to 'trigger' my misophonia, and when triggered, I developed skills to managed my emotional reflex, which in turn made the hypervigilant anxiety about getting triggered go down, which made it harder to trigger a response, which meant the skills I learned were more effective, and so on in a self-healing cycle.

Hope that helps a little.
