Also a good point. My family desktop isn't quite grandfather's axe but it would be wasteful to just dump it, and if I convert it to Linux some of the games my wife and kids want to play can't follow.
We use it at work. All our services run on private IPs on our own vnets, and we access them with Tailscale. We don't need to run a VPN tunnel, or manage public IPs and firewall rules.
Some people choose “no abstraction” over “poor abstraction,” which I don’t understand. Working without any abstraction is the same as working with an infinitely leaky abstraction.

Simply launch the noTunes app and iTunes/Music will no longer be able to launch. For example, when bluetooth headphones reconnect.

You can toggle the apps functionality via the menu bar icon with a simple left click.

cough Remember when Win98 had Active Desktop where the desktop and all the Explorer folder views were DHTML and you could style them and write custom pages for them? And then the competition went running to the government to force Microsoft to take their HTML rendering engine out of Windows?
> They are the primary destructive force in society

What a deranged belief to hold. Rationalizing that cars of all things are the root cause of all of society's ills is reductionist and lazy, equally so as to believe that simply removing them would cure those ills.
If they're the only thing in short supply--given that the AIs are superior at everything else--then yes I suppose I can.

And if it doesn't turn out that way, we can always eat the rich until it does.
Technically, I would assume that you probably can claim this as a capital loss if you have actually realized a loss (eg you spent money on software related to the business or something), but those are capped at $6,000 a year. Those expenses previously could have gone on a schedule C, though.

Noo way? My CD only contains a bunch of jpeg from the slices. What file format did you get ?
My biggest singularity fear is not "superhuman intelligence kills us all". The closest biological parallels to that happened over many millenia of competition and interbreeding. Humans are still capable of learning from or making use of superintelligences, and superintelligence isn't immediately dangerous unless you give it some means to hurt you. If, say, ChatGPT is superintelligent, the only way it can hurt you is through insult or persuasion.

Mass structural unemployment provides a more realistic and scary scenario. It can happen in a decade, perhaps faster, and a large pile of newly unemployed people are fertile ground for political extremists. When you take enough people's jobs away, they will demand a strongman to bring them back. Welfare won't placate them: even with the various proposals to have AI companies make binding covenants upon themselves to cap their profits and donate the excess to welfare, that won't be enough, because welfare is still economically disenfranchising and socially problematic.

Furthermore, there is no particular reason why an AI company that's replaced significant fractions of the labor force would need to remain benevolent. Your hypothetical welfare covenant or robot tax needs to be enforced by a government, and all governments are aligned to economic interests - not humanitarian or democratic ones[0]. At the limit, the world in which everyone is on singularity welfare is vulnerable not just from a robot uprising, but from the people who make the robots deciding to go full Atlas Shrugged. You will have a world populated by about 300 cybernetically-enhanced CEOs standing atop humanity's starved corpse.

Of course, that's also somewhat unlikely at least with current technology. But let's keep in mind who is building the AI and what it does. It is being built by large capital-rich firms with the explicit goal of automating away the middle class, after they've finished automating away the poor. The end goal is to build a machine that automates away all labor: a form of capitalist wankery. Note how nobody is talking about building AI that handles business management or strategy, even though that's arguably more automatable than anything we actually chuck AI at.

[0] This is a pithy summary of one of selectorate theory's bigger predictions, which is summarized well in the book The Dictator's Handbook and a CGPGrey video that I promise I've actually watched.
I've observed that this exists in all domains. Unsubstantial critique is cheap and at everyone's disposal. Generously, I think it can be interpreted as an appeal to common sense due to ignorance / lack of specialization. There's probably some heuristic like, "the more specialization required to understand information, the easier it is to invite empty critique."

I'm not very generous though. I personally think the majority of people are more interested in being right or sounding clever than arriving at truth or understanding.
> Try not using natural language and just type what you'd type into Google. You'll get the same results and realize that all of the natural language fluff is totally unnecessary.

I can get similar results with Google sometimes and I can put together what I learned from different places.

But I can get scripts that meet my exact requirements with ChatGPT. Most of my ChatGPT related code is scripting AWS related code and CloudFormation templates.

I’ve asked it to translate AWS related Python code to Node for a different projects and a bash shell script. It’s well trained on AWS related code.

I don’t know PowerShell from a hole in the wall. But I needed to write PS scripts and it did it. I’ve also used it to convert CloudFormation to Terraform

Wow. Even the sentence itself is incredibly indirect and obfuscated. They aren't able to own it and say "We are exploring new ways to promote the benefits of signing in with a Microsoft account by adding badges to the Start menu for users logging in with local user accounts." or "We are adding badges to the Start menu to bug users with local user accounts to switch to a Microsoft account."
No problem.

There have been two Gundam series and two Gundam movies in the past year alone. Legend of the Galactic Heroes, Yamato and Macross have all had movies come out within the past two years. Just because they disappear within the flood of content doesn't mean that they don't exist.

That is so hyper-specific that it applies to a tiny handful of shows, at most elements of which are indicative of trends. It probably applies to one show this season. There's 157 other things coming out this season according to MyAnimeList.

Could write an entire essay about how things previously understood as niche nerd interests have now formed the core of the mainstream of entertainment culture yet still manage to maintain an inward-focused self regard as niche, marginalized, besieged and belittled.
They still would dismiss them if they could. But since the internet destroyed their media gatekeeping power and anime became too popular, they're now trying to control and put their own spin on it.
Far before that, although it may be the first work to introduce those themes into the pop culture of Japan.

See in Christianity with the parable of the garden of eden and it's destruction, in Islamic literature with the catastrophe of the sack of Baghdad causing a several hundred year cultural dark ages, in republican Chinese literature with the ideal classical civilization being replaced with mindless roving warlords, albeit with superior Western technology, etc...

Though perhaps anime has become less unusually ambitious in rendering elite thought into lower brow entertainment, a sort of regression to the mean of the world cultural millieu.
Reddit wants to get paid for content it hosts.

Soon Reddit's users will want a cut of it for content they create.

Then all the places these users are copying content from will want their share.

There's no solution here. Either the web stays (mostly) open and free-for-all like it is now or everyone sets up their own little walls and ends the party.

Interesting! What kind of company and technology domain is it? Assuming you don’t want to get too specific.

My first reaction is that I like this idea, but maybe I’m biased because I feel I’d “pass the test” myself (and thus have one additional small way to differentiate myself from pure Leetcoders :)

In most of the environments I’ve worked (except maybe the games companies) I feel this would not have been widely considered an acceptable thing to ask in a generalist interview.
This is deeply resonant with me for the following reasons:

1) Age

2) BDD-style or what I call a madlib proxy for playing cucumber on TV. Not a fan having used it in an RoR context I can only call hipster-engineering, not what DHH described.

3) I just had the discussion on redux vs. datomic vs. riak with friends yesterday.

4) Ditto the conversation on MVVM and the implied constraint complexity of putting nodejs and chromium in the same deployment package and calling it electron while carrying on how simple it is relative to... a world where everything is actually native all the way down?

5) Me too on the CASE era.

6) Cue Donald Knuth on literate programming. One thing that cucumber is not, but I think taking another iteration at literate programming in light of GPT or LLMs is a good idea since Knuth is never wrong just 50 years ahead of time, but we needed a collaboration of human-computer agents that is patterned on a sensemaking protocol that can resolve subjective truth by consensus of man and machine. How else could you possibly resolve the fact that the SOTA lies to me on a daily basis while defending itself and its lack of veracity with force in what can only be seen as emulating the culture of one's parents.

7) Yes, AI should help on the iterations. Those short design sketch-to-demo we used to do at the design studio with sketch on Monday and demo on Friday should be much easier today to go from breakfast sketch to dinner demo, but I don't think they are. The tooling is radically better but that better has come at the cost of complexity and going sideways, neither of which are being fully felt and accounted for reflectively, i.e. they're not how you get to typing less and having the tools do the work because when they break, the debugging is mind-crushing.

8) I think the thing that's missing in the trivial part is that it's not actually trivial, but particularly because the software is the message and that insight stems from the fact that software has emergent properties such as extensibility, composability, and a resultant rate of change that make it very difficult to compare from decade to decade because software's fundamental disequilibrium stems from the fact that the full stack is in constant flux from a mad hatter's pop culture where we never sing the same song twice. There's value in theme and variations if it can be modeled as improvisational human-computer design pairing rather than yet another orchestration. Joe Beda was as right about improvisation as Knuth is about the art of computer programming.

9) I guess the t-shirt is: I'm not waiting...

10) In the immortal words of Raymond Loewy: Never leave well enough alone.

If there's a set of artifacts in software that achieve what I hope for with AI, it's somewhere between Bret Victor and https://iolanguage.org/
Revenue Ruling 55-706 provides that IP created by employees of a corporation does not fall within the scope of 1221(a)(3).

And generally, corporate-created IP is treated as a capital asset on the books. This is in line with how capital assets are generally treated; as other commenters have noted, the expense of building a factory (including the salaries of the construction workers, if employed directly by the taxpayer) is also subject to capitalization.
You don't even want AI to prove a correctness of understanding of your intention about editing your code. I would rather make AI to make a save/load of my interactions. For example, I need to do something complicated with versions of my code but I know I may fall down in dozens of ways. So I tell AI to remember the state then I do shit and I end up with one of two possible results. Either I do everything correctly or I fuck up. My idea is that all I really need, based of my experience with git, is some ability to easily un-fuckup without copy/pasting git folder on filesystem level. Maybe my approach fits better to some state-machine than to AI but tbh I do not think GPT is any decent help for writing code.

Then the argument would be "let us transition smoothly to the new mode". But all we're seeing in these threads is "bad bad no good very bad" with relatively little nuance.
Your comment is basically just whataboutism. Bringing up racism in the US for no reason (in a way that subtlety denies the massive racism problem in the UK/europe) just to deflect from the debate of surveillance powers in the UK is quite the take. Especially when the comment you are replying to seems to be written by an austrian not the american boogeyman.

It's weird that you only focus on the issue of CCTV cameras, when the debate is about much more than that. British authorities are allowed by law to engage in massive surveillance that does not happen even in the US (or at least, not overly and not fully allowed by the law). You might be ok with that, but it's weird to downplay it.

I'm not wondering about how the system will determine what's most helpful but instead determining what's even "correct". A model will learn what's "correct" from Stack Overflow by finding accepted or highly-voted answers but when it can't find such content anymore (in this case because Stack Overflow is hypothetically gone) then what would even exist to generate these discussions to be used as training data?

Github, per the sibling comment, is a good example because projects will have issues (tied to the individual repository of source code to be seen as a working implementation of the idea) which will be where such discussions happen.
Then maybe users should poison the content they post to make their data worthless unless Reddit decides to compensate its users who provide valuable info instead of updoots.

To start with, humans have access to far more data than just what is generated by other humans. We can look at nature, other animals, mathematical laws and many other things.

Humans also have far more ability than current model architectures to use memory (particularly in training), flexible context (Model context always directly follows the input distribution in training whereas we can flexibly combine different parts of our input data as we like ) and logic. We can also do live learning in ways current models can’t.
Yeah I think the jump from DOS to Windows, procedural to event-driven, lite framework to rich framework, and barely-C++ to very-C++ was just too much for me to tackle at the same time.

Truthfully I first dipped my toes into Windows development using Visual Basic, then jumped to MSVC++ & MFC after I quickly outgrew VB. Having smart colleagues [hi Keith!] and great MFC books [hi Mike Blaszczak!] around certainly made it easier.

While I like the spirit behind Rich Gold’s suggestion here, I think he may be overlooking the fact that for a large number of artists the practice of quickly iterating and “shipping” songs is a fruitful one. Not every creation is going to be solid gold, but overall this mindset is a valid one for generating work with artistic value.
