He seems to talk around the "Why," what role would these computers actually play beyond making the people capable of building and using them "very powerful" in some vague and unknown way? I admittedly found it difficult to read through this, it reads like an excessively verbose version of the proverbial "just trust me, bro" so I may have missed the actual explanation. He seems to acknowledge that it most likely would serve no purpose outside of a very specific sort of collapse which I assume would be one which only affected the computer industry but left everything largely untouched, which seems unlikely.

A politician, a computer scientist and Joe walk into a post-apocalyptic bar. The politician buys everyone a round. The computer scientist tries to raise funding for a POS terminal designed around the needs of the post-apocalyptic hospitality industry. Joe gets a job washing dishes at the post-apocalyptic bar.
No, he was not accurate. There’s also a large difference between $300k in compensation and $150k. Unionizing will not help with that

You guys are just continuing to help prove my point
It’s also a totally borked analogy. In software the spec is usually the carpentry equivalent of “build a house. Must have door”.

Building a house takes engineering (e.g. structural). It also takes carpenters and plumbers and so on. What’s fun about software is you get to do all of it on one project.
Where do you see tutoring going with AI or even the ability to expand on topics a student would have trouble with in a regular set of lessons?
IANAL, and nothing that follows is legal advice, but I'm a legal assistant who's done IP work occasionally.

As far as I know, no, it's actually a bad idea. It is supposed to be the year of first publication per 17 USC §401(b)(2).

The 'reason' people seem to suggest updating it is to avoid the impression that the site's not been updated, but as far as I understand things, to do so falsely suggests that the first time you published whatever you're putting the symbol on is the current year - thus opening up yourself to prior-work claims.

In other words, if you do © 2023 and update it to © 2024 on 1/1/2024, then someone might come along and put something up and mark it © 2022, and then claim you've filched their intellectual property.

One likely might counter with Internet Archive snapshots (I've seen the IA cited in court briefs, even sometimes by judges - although again IANAL and this is not legal advice), but it's still dumb IMO to specifically move your year forward on New Year's.
The main inconvenience of fish is not even having to go into another shell for some tasks like virtual env activation, but wondering whether some command you just ran silently did something wrong because of shell incompatibility. (Edited)

Remember the Exxon Valdez spill years ago, and the big push everyone made to hold them accountable with fines and demanding cleanup action? I understand this case is not exactly oil spill level, it's very common on beaches even on the east coast, but the casual way it's received now is also the same way most environmental offenses go too.

Pretty crazy how far more significant environmental offenses happen globally, how even if a fine is paid, it's only the rain washing it down river that makes it seem forgotten, yet we're still blaming increasing cancer rates and deaths on diet and exercise, and thinking that amassing huge amounts of personal wealth is going to somehow insulate us from the same peril as everyone else... For the record, Steve Jobs, the extremely wealthy CEO of Apple... Died of cancer.

Companies and individuals that pollute should be held to higher standards.

Looking bizarre is still ok in this context though. The birds are socially starved captives and just seeing the shape of another bird, along with the sounds, is likely highly stimulating.

I’m thinking of when my phone is in high contrast mode, it looks bizarre but it’s still totally usable for all purposes. If it was the only mode, FaceTime would still be usable to paint a general picture of what you looked like even though we have never met.

Most OOP courses do not teach OOP from the perspective of prototype inheritance.

The extreme mutability of JavaScript and its consequences are also not well understood by most.

The consequences of IEEE 754 as numeric type are also not well understood among JS enthusiasts.

The distinction between creating/compiling a regular expression and evaluating it is also rarely covered.

The way it is implemented by vendors, using tricks such as pre-tenuring, hidden classes, shapes, inline caching, JIT, etc... also not widely understood.

The JavaScript sections of Stack Overflow are the blind leading the blind. Many widely used libraries are also written by the blind leading the blind.

There’s no license. OpenAI is not an author of their models’ outputs, and they know it.

OpenAI can’t just start suing random people on the street without any legal basis. That’s how lawyers become not-lawyers.

There’s only a (somewhat dubiously enforceable) ToS contract between OpenAI and the user of OpenAI’s website. This is probably bullshit too - what legitimate interest does OpenAI have in a model output that doesn’t even belong to them, but it’s less obviously bullshit.

I’m a parent with a little one, and still figure out tons of creative ways to bake in a little me time.

It’s daunting, sure. When you can’t even remember what you ate for breakfast and you’re 12 loads of laundry behind, it’s hard to imagine just disengaging for any amount of time.

But if you’re scrupulous in how you allocate your time, you can find ways to do it.

It’s worth it, I promise.
Let's suppose your PC system ROM was 64 KiB F000:0000 to F000:FFFF (F0000 to FFFFF linear). If it wasn't a 286 or higher, then it couldn't simply use protected<->real-mode virtual memory tricks to copy ROMs and remap memory pages. Instead, there would need to be a motherboard-assisted hardware mechanism to redirect the decoding of the top 4 bits matching 1111 from ROM to copy to and steal some RAM. It would probably be easiest to do this at boot (during POST) by temporarily mapping future shadow ROM (RAM) to RAM, copy the ROM->RAM, and then remap that RAM over the ROM. Let's borrow A000:0000 since we're in text mode 0x3 using 4 KiB of the EGA/VGA frame buffer at B800:0000 and assume there's no other adapter configured to use this area.

; copy 64 KiB from F000:0000 -> A000:0000
; registered not saved: AX CX SI DI
; registered saved: CS DS ES FLAGS
; 12 bytes of stack required

PUSH DS
PUSH ES
PUSHF

CLD ; technically, this isn't needed
; we're copying all 64 KiB and
; could wrap backwards

MOV AX, F000h
XOR SI, SI
MOV DS, AX

MOV AX, A000h
XOR DI, DI
MOV ES, AX

MOV CX, 8000h ; 64 KiB / (sizeof(word) == 2)

REP MOVSW ; DS:[SI] -> ES:[DI]
; 16 bits at a time until CX == 0

POPF
POP ES
POP DS

segment:offset addressing in real-mode

linear address = segment * 16 + offset

With the exception of some memory areas are mapped only by hardware decoding the segment but not the offset to where reads beyond offset FFF0 wrap around instead of pointing to adjacent memory.

AC00:FFFF (BBFFFh linearly) != B000:BFFF

There are variations of real mode on 286+ that use linear flat addressing outside of protected mode (it would be 16 MiB for 286 and 386SX, and 4 GiB max for 386+) by messing with the hidden masks of the segment registers by switching to protected mode temporarily. The downside is all of the system provided (ROM) real-mode interrupt handlers, OS, and drivers would need to be rewritten for this different addressing scheme. It's called unreal mode. Hypothetically, you could algorithmically transpile ROM code by parsing instructions and rewriting them. Real-mode interrupt handlers are stored in a table of 256 far pointers at 0000:0000 to 0000:03FFF.

The Importance of Financial Literacy: “Strikingly Low in the United States”
I posted it because I'm interested in how what is politically and socially optimal, not the optimal solution, is what drives our choices.

In this case, I suspect their popularity (such as it is) depends on triangulating social trends:

* Anti-liberalism, specifically anti- anything 'progressive' (another term is 'reactionary', but I think that carries other meanings). They are against the existing liberal/progressive environmentalism - which is very uncool right now.

* Brazen self-interest rather than public interest or a motive "to promote the general welfare": Their 'bro' label, open appeal to self-interest, asserting profit-seeking won't conflict with the public interest.

* Brazenness itself: Be loud, brazen, superconfident, like crypto bros, much of SV these days, etc. Fake it til you make it. Actively create a hype/adoption cycle, and profit on the upswing. (Are we really going to give that behavior the benefit of the doubt again?)

More and more - especially as society becomes anti-enlightenment, and we ridicule reason, knowledge, and expertise, and embraces the 'brazenness itself' as the signal of the optimal decision - I think social and political trend triangulation is driving most decisions. I see it in people I know personally, who I never thought would walk away from their intellects.

(Also interesting: This environmentalism-for-profit is not at all new to SV and HN. Just think of the fake meat companies, for example, who have gone through the entire hype cycle by now.)

Maps was yet another gimmick on the first iPhone since it did not have GPS. Other high-end phones at the time had turn-by-turn navigation and offline maps. It is funny to rewatch the original iPhone presentation. It had so few useful features, that Jobs spent a considerable amount of time explaining the voice mail app.

Night watch in one brain hemisphere during sleep (2016)
You keep asserting that it's a waste, but offer no argument or evidence for why that is so. I've demonstrated (here or in another subthread) much evidence and reason why they are valuable. All you have, I suspect, is repetition and an Internet echo chamber.
It is a mix: digital logic is almost entirely laid out by machine, but analog circuits and the underlying logic cells (as well as certain specialised digital blocks like memories) are a lot less automated. The most expensive part isn't doing that: it's doing the validation and simulation of the design so that it'll have the best chance of working after you've spend 5-6 figures and many months on actually building it (and then there's the cost of testing it in reality and figuring out what isn't actually working and how to fix it: the first batch of chips still extremely rarely works).
It speeds up one off throw away software work that I need to do. Here's a concrete example from work recently:

> I need help writing a SQL statement. I'm using Postgresql and the database has a table called `<name>` with dozens of columns such as: `..._id`, `..._id`, `..._id`, `..._id`, etc. The columns are of type uuid. Separately I also have a list of thousands of uuids and I want to check if any values in my list are used in any of the fields on the `<name>` table. Is there a compact SQL statement that allows me to do this? I would like to avoid listing out all the columns by name.

GPT-4 responed:

> Yes, you can achieve this by querying the information_schema.columns to get the list of columns dynamically and then use a combination of string_agg, EXECUTE, and FORMAT functions to build and execute the SQL query. Here's an example:

I ran it as written and it worked great!

Could I have done this on my own? Sure, but it would have taken a few google searches, reading, trial and error to build up the query, probably 30 or 40 minutes more than just asking GPT-4 to write the query.

Actually that model seems particularly good at writing SQL queries FYI, I could totally see a chat layer on top of a relational database writing all the SQL with no humans in the loop, just natural language --> LLM --> SQL.

Telegram deleted all my messages
Recently, my account (id: 1903518494) was reported by users in a specific group, which led Telegram to limit my account. I did not violate any terms of use, but for some reason, Telegram accepted the reports and limited my account.

That's fine, no problem. However, all my messages in another unrelated group were deleted by Telegram. The group administrators said that I never violated any group rules (and I add that I did not violate Telegram's terms of use) and that none of them deleted any of my messages. My messages just disappeared, all of them. This particular group is a support group for users of a Linux distribution, and my messages contain valuable content spanning years that help to solve problems in the distribution, and are always referenced to avoid rewriting information.

I think, it's just a theory, that someone who is a Telegram employee accepted the report made in another group and made a mistake by deleting all the messages from the other group.

I have already sent a message to abuse@telegram.org reporting my case and asking if there is a solution, if they can restore the messages. I can no longer trust the integrity of my data on Telegram.

If this was a mistake, I hope they can restore the messages so we don't lose years of support messages from the group.

>If security really mattered, every OS would run applications in a proper sandbox,

these OSes were designed decades ago, before we really had a good grasp on security. there were other significant concerns as well, such as performance

also, modern OS toolkits, such as on macos and windows 11, are moving towards a permission and API model that will allow sandboxing. In fact, macos is moving quite quickly towards this.

And lastly, there is a widely deployed OS that runs all applications in a proper sandbox: chromeos

I think it's understood at this point by everyone in the industry that sandboxing is the future, but it's taking a while to get there.

> they're law enforcement

According to their own site, they aren't that at all.

https://www.investor.gov/introduction-investing/investing-ba...

The U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has a three-part mission: Protect investors. Maintain fair, orderly, and efficient markets. Facilitate capital formation.

The main purposes of these laws can be reduced to two common-sense notions:

Companies offering securities for sale to the public must tell the truth about their business, the securities they are selling, and the risks involved in investing in those securities.

Those who sell and trade securities – brokers, dealers, and exchanges – must treat investors fairly and honestly.

Given that Gensler can't even say whether or not ETH is a security, it seems questionable whether the SEC even has a role here in the discussion.
Only vaguely related, but mentioned in the article:

“In Down and Out in Paris and London,[6] George Orwell described the term débrouillard as something the lowest-level kitchen workers, the plongeurs, wanted to be called, indicating that they were people who would get the job done, no matter what.”

Orwell’s best work IMO, if you haven’t read it you should.
Here is one bit of advice: Unemployment used to be paid by paper check (and I read that this is still possible, but also there is debit card and direct deposit). My advice: if you get paid by check, cash or deposit it immediately after receiving each one, don't wait. The state used to gauge if you still need unemployment by how quickly you cashed that check. If you appear desperate, they keep paying. For example, if your partner is working, then maybe you are not so desperate and wait a while before you bother to deposit it, then wham, you are cut off.

I imagine it's the same with their debit card, they get to see everything. I have no idea with direct deposit.
Let me think.

Sure, I'm just saying that in that cost-benefit analysis the 'risk of case failing and getting nothing from it' is significantly lower; it's your call as a consumer to do your due diligence and decide:

"I don't think they'll be bothered chasing after me"

vs.

"If it came to it I think the court will rule that they don't have a case after we play the pay-the-lawyers-all-the-money game"

vs.

"how screwed am I if they do, I lose and I have clearly, blatantly and provably violated their terms of service"
