Have the AI working to plug the holes before the script kiddies can exploit them?

Such an obvious solution that any silly monkey can think it up.
How does releasing AI to everyone prevent AI from being used by authoritarian Govs to monitor everything? Well the three letter agencies would spy on the public but Uncle Bob has an AI and who knows what he might do with it. If anything the more people working on AI is going to make that dystopia a reality faster.
And they can be easily countered by burning the prices for a short while, driving them to bankruptcy.
Seeing as you're getting tripped up on the word "simple", the sentiment can be rephrased without using that word:

Is this how we create AI personalities/egos?
One of my favorite uses for this is creating .wsb files that would launch a script and install zoom/WebEx/etc so I would not have to install them on my PC. The video and audio worked just well enough for me to get away with and it was easier to screen share what I was doing within the container and avoid sharing anything extra (ex: notifications).
Has anyone worked long term on a 'release source after x$ revenue' model?
If you don't let them do this from time to time they will quit eventually, IME as a manager. Whether that's beneficial to the org or not is debatable. You can kind of "release the pressure" in a planned manner via hackathons, but those almost always never have the appropriate frequency.

Could you elaborate on this? I'm not sure what Homebrew has to do with rental scooters...
Yes, and It has some interesting historical implications.
I once worked for a startup co-founded by people who created DirectX at Microsoft. There is a book written on how DirectX was created and what went on inside the team during those initial days of DirectX. Hence this book was available in the library of the startup where I worked. These is a very interesting statement in that book on the topic of what a manager's responsibility should be in a team. And this is what it said:

"A manager's responsibility is to remove any roadblocks from the path of an engineer. If an engineer is coming down a hallway and there is a chair in the path blocking that engineer, then it is the manager's responsibility to remove the chair from the path so that the engineer is not troubled." :)
I feel like there's a good and bad way to do this at the same interval. Of course it depends on the situation as well and what you say, but when I'm dealing with an actual emergency, I can't imagine not posting an update every hour or so. Usually much more as a way of documenting what's happening for a later PIR.

If a manager doesn't get the required details to know what's happening (I'm situations where they do and still ignore it), then the whole process could use an improvement.

From my SRE perspective, if an incident takes longer than 30min, I want my manager/coordinator to be constantly updated and handle communication with the rest of the company/customers.
Is there anything that doesn't do that?

I would like to provide a contrasting viewpoint. I can’t speak to the situation in Paris, but in the city I live in, scooters are amazing. They reduce car usage which is better for both pedestrians and car users. They turn a 45 minute walk/30 minute bus ride/20 minute cab into a 10-15 minute trip, which opens up much more of the city (the city I live in was not built for the number of cars it has in it so getting anywhere is a slog).

When they first came there were a bunch of scooter on pedestrian collisions, but between an aggressive ticketing campaign, adding bike lanes, and adding slow zones, these numbers have gone way down.

(I rarely use them as I tend to cycle everywhere, I’m just glad my city has them)

All of us have some amount of cancerous cells at any given point in time, we just don't notice most of the time because our body is quite adept at detecting and neutralizing cancerous cells before they become a problem.

What we call "cancer" are the cancer cells that managed to slip past the body's defences, so "curing cancer" doesn't necessitate addressing all cell copy errors. We just need to figure out how to deal with the small handful our body can't address.

” Born to Jewish Russian immigrants in Brooklyn, New York on June 30, 1926, Berg developed a love for science during middle school…”

sigh The _vast_ majority of “Russian Jews” who came to the US prior to the 1960s were not from Russia at all, but from one of their colonized lands, ranging from Latvia to Romania to Poland. It seriously took me less two minutes online to find Professor Berg’s parents’ Ellis Island immigration record in 1923, which clearly lists both his parents as having been born in “Kiew” (Kyiv, Ukraine) which had been in an independent country until a few months before they left, and that they had been staying more recently in “Kishineff” (Chișinău, Moldova) prior to immigration, which was in the independent Kingdom of Romania at the time. I hate how these kinds of articles naively repeat the word “Russian” to overwrite the histories and nationalities of the independent people who live(d) in eastern Europe.
Well, if Visual Studio (or whatever Microsoft calls their compiler these days), and all known versions of gcc, and all known versions of LLVM all do something sane, then I'm not sure I care all that much about the theoretical possibility that some compiler someday might do something insane.

Hey! I already tried this. iPhones auto open links in mini window as a preview when holded. As a result, the copied link will be already expired.
Reminds me of my first startup in the US. When things got difficult, we had daily 30 minute status meetings. Then things still didn't go fast enough so everybody had to attend 2 30 minute status meetings every day. It was just nuts. I tried to tell upper management that probably nothing important will change every day and even less likely in half a day but no luck.
Modern CPUs keep making optimal algorithms weirder. Speculative superscalar execution and the colossal gap between the CPU and memory speed means that often a brute-force solution that fits in a cache line wins over solutions that would feel more elegant or efficient.
You might want to see a neuropsychologist and go through a formal testing process. I've had inattentive ADD all my life, but was not diagnosed until I was in my 40s. I often wonder how my life would be different if I'd been diagnosed and treated earlier in life. Fortunately I don't worry about that.

Too many American city centers aren’t really set up for non-car usage, so even if cars went away, people would need to walk pretty big distances to get to where they’re going. Modern American cities need to be fundamentally redesigned to support a car free or reduced system.
Presumably, be too busy with their collapsed economy to really care what's going on elsewhere in the world. Or have moved onto generating a lot of electricity from their rather copious amounts of desert land.

Also, you won't get to 9X% with our current industrial society intact. You rather rapidly run into material limits trying to extract all the resources needed to build the amount of energy collecting equipment needed.

Figure out how to live on 10% of your current energy in the winter and a decent fraction of it in the summer, and the problem looks rather radically easier. Just rather radically less like a 24/7 global consumer society.

This is running on an AMD EPYC 7543 CPU, which has 32 cores that can each cycle 2,794,750,000 times per second. It's running with 3 threads (if I understand correctly), so as a rough estimate it's doing one insert every 500,000 CPU cycles (2,794,750,000 * 3 / 15000).

Abortion ebbs and flows. As someone else mentioned, currently Poland has placed severe restrictions on it and Ireland only legalised it something like 20 years ago, N.Ireland only decriminalised it about 5 years ago.

I would also suggest that considering the miserable failure of the mid-terms that the US has a similar strong average relatively set against limiting access to abortion too. Although I do appreciate that some areas of the US are more traditionally religious areas and more similar to the conservatives in Poland.

As a Slovenian … I don’t have this superpower because I’m usually the only Slovenian there. There was a conference in NYC once where at least 10 people tried to introduce me to the one other Slovenian there, it was pretty funny.

Like what expert? And who are you exactly to state that this is wrong, that boldly? Are you an expert? How many neuroscience and psychology papers have you read? Do you have any children? Have you trained any LLMs? Have you worked with reinforcement learning? Or how many computer science papers have you read during last two decades?
You seem upset, as if what you said is blatantly false.

I wouldn't say racist (?? Black and white men fighting together are racist?) mysoginists, but tough men that aren't posterboys for your designated driver would probably be a good description.

If you want a competent fighting force, you have to appeal to tough young men. You don't do that by putting a dude in a dress on your promo material, to put it crassly. Men don't want to go into an environment supposedly to "get shit done" only to have to file paperwork and tippytoe on eggshells with everything they do or say. You don't have to like it but these are the facts. The military gets weaker when you alienate the most able bodied in your society, it's pretty straightforward.

Recently got burned out for the first time. Context switching and constant hard thinking were a direct cause. I unofficially took on a chief architect’s role doing design and planning for a huge project, was doing some managerial work assigning tasks and mentoring younger team members through it, and was writing code as an individual contributor.

I just wanted it to succeed so badly, I took on an absolute ton without any systems in place in my own habits and daily life to protect me. I would be in a conference room tracking ten different threads of work day in and day out. Making decisions for every component, directing people, debugging…at first I felt like a god. Everyone was looking to me, we made more progress in six months than the last two years, meetings would get cancelled because I couldn’t be there to make a decision (should have been a massive red flag but it fed my ego).

But the way I work is to put my head down and get addicted to a problem in some sense. I can’t stop until it’s done. I think of these as loops in my brain, and I deeply need to close them. It is both a strength and tremendous weakness. As I climbed to principle engineer and above, this was a huge boon. A few weeks of nonstop coding, then crash for a couple weeks till the next tasks come along. But at a certain level, I stopped having clear cut tasks. The work had huge scope and was totally open ended. I was doing quarterly planning and this quarter’s work wasn’t done yet, etc.

I got lost pushing to be “done” and it never came. One day my brain started hurting all the time. I started crying when I had to think about work, out of nowhere…really scary for me who always thought I was rock solid even after months of long days doing nothing but thinking hard. I tried to push through, ask for more money to soothe my pain, the company offered me a sort of break. But I had to quit cold turkey.

Now I am taking a real break and the thought of that work makes my body tense up. I get tearful again. I am going to take a lot of time to build some workout habits, some set hours of the day where I will never “work”, and do some emotional digging into my loops.

Thanks for sharing! It is so nice to hear everyone’s stories.
I don't think so, but your comment sounds super familiar. I think we may have chatted about burnout before on another thread on HN?

I did once have an experience with nitrous oxide where I heard something similar and subsequently had a pretty major shift in my thinking process for awhile.

I heard too a lot of wealthy people have money in Caymans. Its not hidden from taxes, its just to prevent random people in the US suing for crazy amounts as they're prone to do.
Can I make a suggestion? Most people in this thread will think you are wrong about the Cayman Islands. In this context, your comment, "Caymans is just a better jurisdiction," is provocative. You also claim you can think of 24 things that are better. Fine. But then this rambling comment with jargon and the all-too-common implication to "do your own research" is, from a rhetorical perspective, not persuasive. I'd be genuinely curious to hear a more detailed, layman-oriented answer.
On the contrary. If enough people cycle, there is no need for scooters.

The author does a good job of pointing out what may be the strongest skills of LLMs but the claim they aren't useful as a search engine didn't ring particularly true. For many questions I have ChatGPT is the best tool to use because I know the topics I'm asking about are mentioned hundreds of times in the web, and the LLM can distill down at knowledge to the specifics I'm asking about. If you treat it as a friend who has a ton of esoteric knowledge in many areas but is prone to making stuff up to sound like they know what they're talking about you can still get lots of use pulling facts and some basic reasoning out of the models.
I'm not aware of a single clone of the prusa designs that have been as good as prusa's.

Prusa's machines are expensive but by and large "just work", and keep on working, and have a strong reputation for this, backed by them eating their own dogfood, producing printers with their printers.

The clones are almost always require a lot of tweaking/fixes/upgrades and aren't durable or reliable. Some of them are downright dangerous in terms of being fire hazards, with things like heater bed wires that fray and short out, underspec'd electronics that overheat, shitty firmware, etc.

He's got a thousand (mostly) Chinese copycatters who immediately download the design, figure out how to squeeze every penny out of the BOM, modify it slightly to give their marketing people something to brag about being "better" (as well as try and force people to go to them, and only them, for replacement parts), and print money from tens of thousands of people on reddit and Facebook 3d printing forums who think they're scoring some sort of great deal. None of these people are adding anything of value; in fact, all the effort spent fixing the shitty clones that are very poorly supported, probably results in millions of person-hours wasted.

If I were Prusa, I'd be exhausted, too. It's not an understatement to say that he has been not-quite-single-handedly carrying the hardware side of the enthusiast/cottage-industry FDM market for well over a decade. Sure, you have the corexy and delta designs, but they're definitely a minority.
