I think that you are missing that laws are much more a sort of minimum bright line black and white standard, where ethics can be much grayer and enforced more subjectively. Life has a lot of gray areas.

Typically it is not someone just making them up out of jealousy, it is an organization that comes to consensus about how they want to be viewed as a group. This is a good thing.

It is important to have both.
This is patently insane. Yes, keep blaming outside agents for the flood of corruption that holds the region hostage. Is the US to blame? Of course, but in a limited sense, and not without your own leaders selling you out. And the socialist experiment has been run in parallel with Venezuela, a country that certainly isn’t a shining utopia, and orthogonally in Scandinavia, where you have social democracy yet vanishingly low levels of corruption compared to South America.
I got covid in early 2021, and got the J&J shot at the end of the year. In both cases I had a fever, except the J&J lasted two days vs actual covid that lasted one. I have not been sick with covid since then.

I have never had a flu shot, and also never had the flu in over thirty years. I just don't see why I should get myself sick to risk not getting sick(er)? Anytime I mention this people call me antivax.

I was never skeptical about taking shots until the way the government handled covid. There is no chance I will take something that hasn't been thoroughly tested and proven to actually work the way our standard immunization schedule does.
Ok, syntactically yes, but I don't think that's what the asker really meant.

It's an HSM which you can flash yourself. Unfortunately, it never generated much interest and so I had to fold up the tent. But maybe it was just ahead of its time.

Another nasty supply chain attack exists, way simpler (unlikely to work on knowledgeable users though)... A legit hardware wallet is shipped, but with fake documentation accompanying it. Some evil people working for delivery companies would swap legit hardware wallet for the exact same model, but with documentation using the official company's logo and font and saying, basically:

"Here's your hardware wallet, initialize it with the seed written on this piece of paper, it's the only one that's going to work for this hardware wallet. Do not lose this seed or you'll lose access to your funds!".

Several unsuspecting users, not aware that a random seed is supposed to be generated by the hardware wallet (or by throwing dice, or whatever) have been pwned this way.

In light of what we learned with vocaloid in Japan, is this even meaningful? Singers don't make the song. You can have crowds fill stadiums to watch a hologram, it has already been proven.

To boot, isn't this the fidelity vs fun argument of videogames again, too?

Madonna's "Ray of Light" is still a good song without her; William Orbit is a master producer after all. I hope we see a refocusing away from personalities to producers out of this.
Does Firefox count? It totally changes the experience of page and video viewing. I don't use ad blockers but it seems like Firefox manages video play somewhat aggressively.
If anyone is interested, Intel has its own Linux distribution called Clear Linux which has all optimizations enabled. Of course this has the issue of not running on systems which cannot support all these optimizations, in particular, very few chips have AVX512 unless you have the latest 11th and 12th gen Intel CPUs.
Probably tread a little lightly when we're talking about "what happened" with Raymond, since my understanding is that he's dealing with some pretty significant health problems. I won't sugarcoat my opinions of his work, but neither would I wish those kinds of problems on anyone, nor would I want to be seen as taking shots at their inability or reluctance to respond while dealing with them.
link to the docs and tell it, it's wrong about version, or ask for the features of something like nextjs 3.4 and it'll refresh it's context and give much better results. I don't know what their secret sauce is but it blows bing out of the water.
Closed source models are also improving. Not clear to me why would open source models will catch up.
I just use a DAW like I used a four track recorder back in the 80's. Put down a drum beat, bass line, guitar and voice individual tracks. Then do some light processing. A lot of times, I'll copy paste the music then go back and play each part all the way through so it has a looser band feel.
It varies a lot from team to team in my company.
Ads are pretty much ephemeral online. Want to go back to an ad you saw 30 seconds ago on the previous page you visited? Oops, gone! Until this changes there will be no accountability on the quality of ads. I detest that the state of the online world is such that my elderly parents and other seniors get served up targetted phishing and other scam ads by large companies that profit off these harmful activities. It's pathetic.
There’s a difference between a controversial opinion and one of the strongest taboos in American culture.
Fascinating and beautiful stuff, and surprisingly rare to see in 20th Century art history surveys. I took three semesters of art history in college, and never encountered the name Georg Nees until I randomly learned about him from a software engineer and generative art hobbyist.

I wish there were a place to get quality (that is, not randos selling image search results on Redbubble) prints of some of these.
While hybrid works for me, only fully-remote enables you to move far away from the office and, potentially, significantly improve your quality of life. I totally get why people feel so strongly about it.

My annecdata is that I feel far more productive (concentrated) at home, but going in 1-2 times a week is very important for incidental communication that can have important consequences. I currently manage a fully remote intern, but we have him come ~ two days every month. So far this seems to work.
Based on my own personal experience, a data lake is more of a data dumpster fire: a bunch of CSV, XML, or JSON files in random directories (typically in cloud object storage like S3 or a clone) plus sort of system that processes that data (Amazon Athena, Spark, Hadoop, DuckDB, whatever) to generate reports. In some projects I've seen, the size of the "lake" has been vastly over stated and could be stored in RAM on any modern system.
Three recessions happened in that three decade period you’re talking about where new economies were born and mass tech layoffs happened. Also nobody can predict the future, but it doesn’t change the point that prosperous periods will return.

AI will address that. Smaller talent can write more via prompt-drive code generation and refactoring; it just has to check that it's not garbage.

Chances are you live in a country that owns fleets of machines which fit that description, out of the taxes that you pay, under the direction of the government you elected.
For those interested in getting started, Knobcloud.com has cheap Ableton Live intro licenses. vital.audio is a super cool free(ish) virtual synthesizer, https://www.spitfireaudio.com/bbc-symphony-orchestra-discove... is a free virtual symphony orchestra.

Was the agreement WFH though? Was it actually written into their contract? Or was this just something they informally agreed to while it was difficult to hire staff?

I’m not saying changing policy against your employees wishes is a good thing but if your acceptance of a job is predicated on the condition of being fully remote then you’d want to be damn sure that is written into your contract. And if it is, then your employer cannot change those terms without issuing you a new contract.

Also I know plenty of people who haven’t changed jobs in the last 3 years.
I am not quite sure what this says about me but I LMAO looking at this one, thanks
Self-Reflecting AI: How GPT-4 Helped Uncover Its Own Web Browsing Functionality
Real programmers don't sully their hands with libraries or even surface handles, preferring to rowhammer the primary video buffer instead.
At this point, I don't think a better job or industry is out there. Retirement is my goal.
Edit to my comment: Based on the answers below there seems to be confusion about employment contracts. Signing a letter that specifies your position and salary, as well as NDA forms, are all contracts, but not employment contracts in the traditional sense I meant here.

Traditional employment contracts, which were common years ago but are now used principally for C-suite positions, typically have terms employees can sue to enforce such as WFH.

For most positions in tech, nothing in the paperwork will give you a way of enforcing WFH if the company changes its policies.

That's what I meant by my comment above, which I can no longer edit. (I should have been clearer.)
I love phind, but also like codeium and genie vscode plugins, really the tools I use the most. Sometimes I go back to GPT4 though.
Honestly I think I just misread "before the radio" as "before the internet" and didn't realize it until it was pointed out a second time to me. I don't actually know what life was like before the radio, even my grandparents would have been too young for that.
Bipartisanship is dead. Both sides see the other as terrorists who only negotiate in bad faith. They also believe anyone calling for it is doing so in bad faith which is why you are being downvoted.

It didn’t take me long to start getting hand pain from using Emacs when I started using it a lot. I considered learning the technique of using the ball of my hand to press control. But instead of switching to vi it getting an Emacs hand brace, I ended up switching to a keyboard where I had modifier keys on my thumbs. That was like five years ago and I’ve been fine since then.
He is probably a peronist, kirchnerist or other similarly brainwashed person.

There are many problems: 1) korruption 2) populism: 10 million people produce money, the rest (40 million) is maintained by those 10 millions 3) we let people from abroad (mainly neighbour countries) without jobs, without money to invest, to get into the country, and then become a burden to the gobernment 4) giving money to people forever to do nothing.

Argentinian here. The solution is to absolutely destroy peronism and whatever comes close to (proteccionism, false socialism, control on every fucking thing imaginable, blatant populism), it corrupts everything it touches, it rots all foundations, every solution to a problem, even if it's been proven to work 100% everywhere, if you add peronism it will make it not work, how? You wouldn't understand, you have to be an argentinian to get it. Somehow these pieces of shit (sorry I don't know another way to call them) break all they touch, they think they're the true solution but the have been in the government for the past 70+ years...

You want a solution? Free market (even a simple notebook, nothing fancy, costs a fortune), control nothing, destroy all the stupid fucking taxes we have that once were "temporary" and here we are still having to pay them, let people improve their businesses (as of today, if you want to import machinery you have to pay an absurd amount, which leads to small businesses stuck).
> The bootloader checks the digital signature of the firmware and, if an anomaly is detected, displays an unoriginal firmware message and deletes all the data in the wallet.

This seems like a horrendous design, like a safe that burns the money inside if you try to tamper with it. Sure, it might protect a malicious thief from absconding with the funds, but it is also an attack vector for any bad actor that simply wishes to cause you harm.
You can generate the coin movement operation in the air gapped machine, write it down on paper, and then use a normal, connected computer to transmit it to the network.
The private key never left the air gapped machine, with this method.
There have also been cases of software using malicious seed generators which have semi predictable outputs. People assume it’s safe because they see what looks like random seeds, combined with no network activity. But the attacker can then just scan over the whole possible key space and check for funds.
Lifehack: a post office will weigh whatever you want for free. Also many grocery stores have accessible scales.

Best part is they pay for the certifications!

Then there are friends that ahem buy/sell materials in gram quantities. A counted handful of newish coins are a reasonable way of verifying accuracy in those cases. Be sure to weigh different quantities lest the absolute and relative error cancel out.
Yes, and there would be clear areas where programmers should do the same thing. Say you are are employed by some firm that does programming for banks, and you're told to put in some hack to take salami slices out of transactions. You're being asked to break the law; if you participate, you could go to jail.

There can exist code whose only purpose, only effect is to perpetrate some harm or break the law.

This article is saying that even if you hear that some innocent code of yours is being used in an evil program, you are obligated to do something.

I mean, that even goes against free software. If I put out some innocent GPL or BSD licensed thing, and someone uses it for evil, and then I try to use my copyright holder position to wrangle the use out of their hands, it is no longer free software.

Oh, and don't forget that non-free, closed-source software is what is unethical in some circles.
I think I'd rather find a way to enjoy developing tech for universal friendly anonymous healthcare workflow identifiers. But if anyone can write supporting music, please do.
Trezor is mostly open hardware and open source firmware to begin with.
Arguably CMake is a build system; as a user you can build your project only by running CMake commands. The fact that it will run e.g. ninja or make under-the-hood can be ignored for many use-cases.

Let's step back a minute: the author strongly believes that social media directly causes mental illness in teenagers (blog written in February, wo before this one), but he's still dead on blaming smarphones in general for all the ills ?

> Why would teen mental illness rise throughout the 2010s as the American economy got better and better?

Inequality also rose in that same time period. I mean, we could go through hundreds of indicators that somewhat fit the curve. Taking any of those to ask "Why wouldn't this one fit better than the others ?" is a fine exercice, but at the end of the day we're still playing a guessing game and not progressing much.
I’m responding to OP’s mischaracterization above that “abortion ban comes from a fringe theory forced by a single religion.” Abortion is banned in many different societies that practice many different religions.
You don’t need to connect it to a networked machine to sign a transaction though? You sign the transaction in the airgapped machine, a signed transaction is just a hex string. Move it to the networked machine and broadcast it.

I tried asking for the definition of various words that I'd made up for Transcendence (my video game). The results were not that great (IMO). I bet a human would do better:

archcannon: TWDNE says "a cannon of a type used to fire artillery". My definition: a powerful weapon, usually the top-of-the-line for a design series."

hexarcology: TWDNE says "the formation of an octave by the intersection of two lines on a line of symmetry". My definition: a digital arcology.

hierosteel: TWDNE says "a hinged piece of glass attached to a wall or ceiling". My definition: "holy steel"; at type of alien metal that is particularly strong.

wartech: TWDNE says "a tubular device for keeping a tube in place for washing a bath, toilet, etc." My definition: a programmer/engineer on a front-line military squad.

What I really want is the opposite: I want to type in a definition and get back an appropriate made-up word.
The political reality is quite a bit more complicated than that, but frankly I don't want to get into it both because this isn't the right place and because it's depressing. Cheers, though; hopefully we can still find a way to avoid that worst case.
No. The goal is one shot that doesn't have to change from year to year. We already know that the flu doesn't have a long enough incubation period for humans to gain lifetime immunity. Which means that even if this vaccine works and is effective against all flu viruses past, present, and future, it will probably still be a good idea to get a universal flu booster every year.

"Made-up race categories" are visible to the naked eye, to principal-component analysis of alleles, to measures of genetic distance, to surveys of visible and invisible traits, to even the smallest child who's only begun to speak.

What was the Human Genome Project for? Your mockery and denial, I guess. Why have scientists spent lifetimes improving DNA sequencing technologies, carefully gathering data, and drawing conclusion based on the evidence? So you could laugh it all off, I suppose.

Your refusal to acknowledge reality fails to budge reality. The natural world doesn't care about race or sex solipsism. Policy founded on reality-denial will always eventually fail and be replaced. Whether it fails hard or soft and what is allowed to replace it is the question of our time in America.
I'm pretty sure that's already the problem.
You don't, actually. Coldcard works without ever having to be online. You sign transactions on an SD card and just swap it.
The method I’ve read about is to print “the request” onto a QR code, have the air-gapped machine scan it, sign it and print off the signed transaction QR to be scanned into the networked computer to propagate to the network.

A bit more to trust but a lot less to type.

I have a hunch that this article is either someone being humorous or incredible naive.

To wit:

> First, no matter how many instructions are executed for any type of automation, the code must always be triggered by humans. Not someone, or anyone, but the actual people involved.

The author is against traffic lights?

> A big part of this is that the data presented to the users must be correct, at all times. So, it must be named correctly, modeled correctly, stored correctly, cleaned correctly, and presented correctly. Stale stuff in a cache would be an ethics violation. Badly modeled data that is broken is one as well.

The author would in all likelihood have to turn themselves in - and besides, who gets to decide the meaning of words like "correct" or "badly modeled"? Also, how does this work with things like eventual consistency? (Remember, reality itself is eventually consistent!)

> The third part is to not enable chaos, strife, and discord. This is the hardest of the three.

This is indeed hard. However, consider how far-reaching this statement is. Chaos, strife, and discord are caused by human actors with intent -- we should now include telegram (the old kind), telephone communication, physical letters, etc.

I would be curious to hear the author's opinion on mass surveillance to enforce all these rules, as that would seem to be necessary if you were really going to to do this.

That said, these concerns are not new. When someone creates technology, it is almost guaranteed to be abused, even if that was not the creators intent.
Why would it be and why would that be important if it's something you need once every few years?
> How many people actually read the terms and conditions of the services they use?

A big part of the reason no one reads them is because they're a giant legal document. If you want to inform your users you could say something like "Hey this is what kind of data we collect and what kinds of people we share it with" it doesn't cover everything but it gives people a much better idea of what they are actually agreeing to
Probably would be more accurate to say that TianoCore now supports the board. UEFI could be ported to more systems, but there's little incentive. Also, the main power of UEFI is the ability for an OS to get an early framebuffer and nice interface to USB/PCI/etc. without knowing the low-level details of the system you're booting, and that's a lot of work, especially in the embedded ecosystem where SoC vendors just rearrange memory layout and blocks between chip revisions (hey, we'll just update the Linux driver with the latest mappings, that's fine, right?)

It absolutely will fake citations. An academic friend of mine intentionally wrote an essay topic for her students last semester where the students had to include references. She picked an essay topic where she knew ahead of time there were only 3 papers with relevant content.

She caught a dozen or so of her students cheating (via chatgpt) by looking for hallucinated papers in the bibliographies.
