My guess, the people most worried were never really good at their job and easy to replace.

The better S.E. know that silly business people may replace them with AI at first, then quickly realize they have NO IDEA on how to describe what the business needs.

I dealt with these people, they think they can describe their business in just a few words and get angry when you ask for more details, I can just imagine the mess they will make when a piece of software they THINK they own starts to ask detailed questions.
Will Bosi Sends ‘Burden of Dreams’ (V17)
Oh, i've upset the logic cart a little more.
I worked for a startup from 2015 to 2022.

From 2015 to 2020, it was great. I (and most other employees) was working hard, and was consistently rewarded for my efforts.

In 2021, the company benefited from a huge boost due to the pandemic. Hiring went through the roof and the company became very performance focused. Unfortunately "performance" now meant "meeting your OKRs" and nothing else.

The company culture went through the drain. Most of the new hires were from FAANG and knew very well how to play the game. Whereas before, if you asked someone for help, they would help you, now the answer became "file a run ticket". After all, why would you spend time helping anyone? That's time not spent on your own OKRs, and that's literally the only thing that matters.

Nevertheless, I kept working hard. I was involved in multiple company initiatives, mentored new hires, still helped people when they asked for help, etc. After a year, when performance review time came, I got a "meets expectations".

I was livid, and asked my manager how that could be possible. He basically told me that he had no visibility into all the non-team initiatives I was involved in, and that it was my own fault for not making myself more visible and drafting my OKRs in a way that would have allowed him to justify why I deserved more than "meets expectations".

I refused to play the game and told my manager I was sure I could get "meets expectations" by doing a lot less. I basically slammed the door on all the side initiatives I was involved in and stopped doing anything besides "core work". I went from working 50+ hours a week to working 25-30 hours. I did not enjoy it -- I was actively miserable, and started taking steps to move on.

It took me nearly a year to leave the company (I was on a visa that did not allow me to switch jobs so had to obtain an H-1B, which took time). Another perf review came by, and lo and behold, I got "meets expectations" again.

I am so much happier in my new job, but I'm still salty about the previous company. What used to be a great company culture became a toxic, political, gamed environment.

(Oh, and of course they had a huge layoff round a few months ago. But hey, at least leadership "took responsibility" for overhiring.)

Familiar genre of story.

Ever wonder why we don't see as much Docbook around as we might? I mean, aside from its XML Hellscape? Whelp. Because a lot of the widgets in this "open standard" are tied to closed license tools.

Take //revisionbar -> //fo:change-bar-begin. Go ahead and try to run that through Saxon. Yeah, that's right, the Official Opentopia DocBook FO gives you an element that can only get processed into PDF via vendor FO processors. And those vendors are NOT cheap.

Crap like this fed the growth of web-based PDF engines like WeasyPrint, Vivliostyle, Paged.js, Prawn, and, on the paid side, Prince. Incidentally, making changebars with Asciidoctor and Paged is a frickin' snap, and you do it from git CLI instead of hand-coding every goddamn change bar.

(But wait! You can hire yet another closed source tool to do a docbook diff that inserts the markup that can only be interpreted by another closed source tool! SIGN ME UP)

We're not even going to touch the many, many, many XML specifications that ride on proprietary blobs in their own PIs - without which the XML is completely unparseable. Or dual mode validation with DTDs riding alongside schemas in delightfully undefined ways. Or . . or . . blabbity blabbity blah. Short version, whatever extra functionality was gained from XML publishing - and I'm not convinced there were any gains at all, even theoretical ones - was largely just not worth these sorts of traps. So today the whole ecosystem is today one that's largely based on government requirements and the starry-eyed consultants who love them. The rest of techcomm picked up lightweight markup or joined the Church of Madcap.
I've been very happy with using rxvt-unicode with its various add-ons: 1) urxvt-selection: customize the double click selection behavior; 2) urxvt-matcher: hyperlink any text and customize behavior when you click the link (e.g. you can customize any compile error, when click on the filename with line number, open a new tmux tab and open the file at the given line);
That’s true, but there’s a lot that a monarch could get away with, and building a mansion on crown estate land is probably one of them.
... thus solving the problem once and for all. ONCE AND FOR ALL.
It’s a good ole time tested game of strategy. I suspect the recent rise in players has largely been due to the pandemic, a group of dedicated streamers, and chess being an easy game people can pick up (mastering it is another beast).
I thought modern cars have an electronic challenge mechanism with the key that you can’t bypass as easily. Is that not the case ?
It's not just the Titanium, they have also launched 1650 and 1660 in between the 20s and 30s generation, and then you have the SUPER, TI and Foundation models.

AMD could also do better.
Maybe we shouldn't worry about the population, maybe we could change the way economy works? The model we are using basically count people as slaves, the output of a slave is a constant, hence in order to sustain economy, we need more slaves. I don't like it at all. I don't think the output is going to be dependent on population, it is going to be dependent on technology. We shouldn't worry about shrinking population at all.
The legal status of the Caspian Sea is a bit weird. It's something between a lake and a sea. It's not a sea, because Russia wants to maintain control over the system of rivers and canals that connect it to the Black Sea, the Baltic Sea, and the White Sea. And it's not a lake, because it's not fully divided between the bordering countries.
He disagreed that the difference was materially significant.

And ICC(Internet Chess Club) was around even in the 90s!

Chess video lectures have existed since the eaely 00s too, though they cost money and you'd buy them on a DVD filled with a mixture of video files and PGN files along with some metadata to be viewed through Chessbase.

It was basically the same thing as Chessable is today. Probably competitive in price too; Chessable is pretty fucking expensive if you actually want the video lectures.
Not really. It might have had some relevance for a year if released in 93, but 94-95 saw a rapid increase in CPU power which obsoleted the use of 2D accelerated graphics for PC games. This chip wouldn't have saved Amiga, it's just another choice that sealed their fate.
What isn't dead is the potential for violent conflicts based on ethnicity.

I suspect one of the reasons why so many Americans don't see any downside to multiculturalism is that the American military and law enforcement are so strong that the very concept of an alienated ethnic minority threatening stability or existence of the entire country is ludicrous.

Most other countries in the world are weaker. Hitler used the pretext of "protecting ethnic Germans" to invade several places, and so does now Putin. In the Russian propaganda since 2014, the theme of "protecting Russian speakers against Ukrainian oppression" is pretty central. Needless to say, European countries are now fairly wary about their own Russian minorities, the Baltic states most of all. (It does not help that Russians were shipped there by Stalin in the thousands precisely to sway demographics.)

As I said, the US may be immune to this kind of threat, but Japan is in a different situation. For example, looking at the development in China, Tokio would be absolutely rational to be wary of large-scale immigration from there.
Which is why, as a kid, I was fine with piracy. I couldn't have bought Photoshop in a million years, and back then there was no free for education or whatnot.

These days, I can afford it. Hell, I even bought Winrar as a thanks for many years of using it.

Calling human intuition "just another metric" ignores the fact that human intuition performs spectacularly well at many high-level tasks.

Whatever "insight" and "understanding" actually mean, there is no denying that they are immensely useful, which is why we want AIs that can replicate them.

When trying to understand complex systems that don't yield to quantitative analysis in an obvious way, the starting point should be to assume that the intuitive evaluation is (roughly) correct, until proven otherwise. Trying to cast this intuition into a simple metric and then using that metric (or other simple metrics) to demonstrate that the intuition is wrong is circular reasoning.

This was exactly the point of the outrage, servers ought to be able to opt out of this system but they can't. There are mods [1] that server admins can use to remove the chat message signatures, players are powerless if they strip the signature that certified ever message they send, vanilla servers will block them by default and prevent them from joining.

It is true however that there wasn't really the wave of false positive bans happening that the community was expecting. At least as far as I'm aware.

In all fairness these seems to me the reason Linux has become more popular, rather than lets call it the “black arts” of Linux. However those with extensive knowledge of Linux seem to be highly in demand (scandinavia) because of the popularity of Kubernetes.

Yes. these goalposts were just a test but it's not satisfactory enough to make the AI more of a person. If that were true, ChatGPT would be allowed to participate in here

The cognitive tests we rely on (turing test, chinese room etc etc ) are woefully outdated and inadequate for our time

The goalposts will always be moved btw, because our experience of intelligence is subjective and we 'll never have an objective measure of it. At some point we will stop moving them because we ve ran out of ideas. At that point we can say we have a facsimile of our intelligence

That's interesting, I'm not much of an english speaker, so I always interpreted this text as a cool way to disagree without getting into conflict (and I shortened this a bit because I believe the whole quote does not look good when written)

Haha, you're an Apple fanboy. Intel CPUs are more than fast enough for current software. Just today I took out of storage an almost 5 year old laptop (a Dell Precision) with Intel i7-8750h (6 cores, 12 threads) and 32GB RAM. Put in a new SSD (Samsung 980 Pro) and it flies with Windows 10 - browsing, watching 4K movies, using JetBrains WebStorm with a fairly large TypeScript project all work perfectly well and the laptop is completely silent. There is no noticeable difference between this laptop and my desktop with i5-13600K.

iSheeple usually compare M1 and M2 laptops with Apple's old Intel based laptops and not with current Intel and AMD mobile processors - which are completely competitive in terms of performance.
I think what you’re describing is more habitual than the strengths and weaknesses of different solutions. Which is fine but the discussion needs to be framed that way.
I think it would have been worthwhile mentioning browser support in quite a few places:

• Container queries have less than a year’s support in any browser;

• Style container queries have only an incomplete implementation in Chromium for a month;

• :has() isn’t in Firefox yet and has been in other browsers for a year at most.

That is: you can’t actually depend on these features yet.
"concept" is ill-defined , it s a subjective thing that humans invented. It is probably not possible to define it without a sense (a definition) of self.
It’s funny to me how people have such crazy reactions to ticks. Don’t get me wrong, they can carry some scary stuff - but a few bites? I get a few bites a month during the spring and early summer, and probably take off 10x that amount before they attach. Some are deer ticks. I’ve heard of people taking ticks that were attached to the doctor.

I guess my point is chances are you’ll be fine. Do what you can to prevent bites but don’t freak out about them.
This is how a lot of parliamentary democracies work. The president has very little powers and even the ones they do have are mostly ceremonial that can be overridden by the actual government.

Though nothing is stopping the cult of personality from forming around the leader of the government (prime minister).
Even further nowadays, docs are created using Docusaurus. I don't have problem with it but documentation should be good (eye) friendly than easy to write. Why not be creative while writing docs such as -

Intel gets more confusing when you include the Pentium and Celerons. There, they have different leading numbers for generations compared to the iX. And if you get mobile chips, you've got trailing suffixes like U and H? that indicate a 'core series' cpu, and leading prefixes like N that indicate a 'atom series' cpu.

The codenames are hard to keep straight, especially when they started making everything a Lake, but at least you can see then list of products formerly known as X and see the whole family.

The basic process for CPU selection is pick the architecture, pick the number of cores, pick the speed tier. But none of that is clearly communicated with the model number.

"i7-6700" could also be "6700" without any loss of information if the numbering follows a consistent system. Instead it's needlessly verbose so everyone just shortens it to "i7" which carries little information.

> intel has gone longer than nvidia without restarting the numbering, so they need two digits instead of one.

Nvidia started the current numbering with 200 almost at the same time, with the 10XX series they added a fourth digit.
there is no way to prove because those are subjective to humans. LLMs would have to at least show they have a subjective view (currently the 'internal world' they report is inconsistent)
The original article uses lowercase "i", which is much clearer than the title here.
Every time someone says there’s really nothing that stands about php I roll my eyes. Php usually competes with JavaScript and python, all three being dynamic languages.

First of all, php is faster than python, and ruby and probably most dynamic languages except JavaScript.

So in terms of performance, modern php is ahead of the other languages and it scales well.

Regarding features, php has the best support for classes and types out of the three languages. So if you want to design a classic oo system, php has the best features language-wise.

Php also has a great community (good ides, good package manager, good open source libraries and frameworks).

What do other languages offer that php doesn’t have?

Xwindow system is fantastic in its design. One have to put the mindset when X window system was designed CPU, memory was very expensive so the best thing was to share resources with colleauges.
Thus in the 80s Dos, digital eqipment Wax mainframes, 90s you had PCs with spinning disks running Windows.

X and here is the power of allows you to run graphical windows created from another computer. Much like you can use ssh and pipewire to commect to remote hosts and send sound over the network. X allows you to send graphical windows over the network.

"Network Transparency:

X was designed to work seamlessly over a network, allowing applications (clients) running on one machine to display their GUI on another machine's screen (the server). This feature enables users to work with remote applications as if they were running locally."

Moden operating systems still dont quite have the render remote GUI operating system windows like local
Applications. Yes there is server side rendering of web apps but not for whole native operating system windows.

There is beaty in the design philosophy of Xwindows.
Unless this is a feint, this seems like a dumb way to telegraph which apps you don’t have backdoor access to (the banned ones) and the ones you do (everything relevant enough to be considered that wasn’t banned).

Any client side ban can be easily circumvented with sideloading and network-level ban with a VPN (or less easily, TOR)

I’m sure in some cases these bans are indeed a feint but not everything is a game of 4d chess. I mean, look at the TSA in the US

These things tend to fall in on themselves. Ten years ago for instance, large scale data stores were the rage. Everyone was rolling out petabyte solutions for megabyte problems. This went on for years before people realized it was absurd.

You're finally starting to see this in containers. It's container overload for really simple problems - like hiring earthmovers and cement mixers when your construction job is installing a bookshelf.

People want to expand their resume and use their current job as a stepping stone but they're also creating messes by using inappropriate tools.

It's an industry problem.

Another lesson is this: when you go in for a colonoscopy or rectal exam you have to explicitly ask to NOT do any surgery if you are not ready for the downtime.

> On one hand, the King is the supreme leader of the country

The US is one of few countries where the head of state and the chief executive is combined into one office. I wonder if that contributes to Americans always having weird takes like this?

The purpose of the head of state is to act as a check on the legislature and the chief executive, that's typically the only real power they have, the rest is just ceremonial. And yet many Americans seem to think that constitutional monarchs are like the president of the US and has executive powers?
