This is one of those things that's both true and false at the same time.

It's true it goes back to 1300, but it had also fallen out off fashion and was considered "wrong" later on. Languages change, and don't do so in a linear straight-forward way. From our perspective, it's very much a neologism (although it's been a few decades, and arguably already passed the neologism stage).

It's a cat-and-mouse game for sure. At the first level, any dongle that simply types the AI response through a fake HID device will be easy to detect. No real essay writer just types an entire document in one go, with no edits. They move paragraphs around, expand some, delete others, etc.

So this dongle will have to convincingly start with a worse version that's too short (or too long!). It'll have to pipe the GPT output through another process to mangle it, then "un" mangle it like a human would as they revise and update.

If trained on the user's own previous writings, it can convincingly align the AI's response with the voice and tone of the cheater.

Then the spyware will have to do a cryptographic verification of the keyboard ("Students are required to purchase a TI-498 keyboard. $150 at the bookstore") to prevent the dongles. There will be a black market in mod chips for the TI-498 that allow external input into the traces on the keyboard backplane. TI will release a better model that is full of epoxy and a 5G connection that reports tampering...

Can't you just count a change like this as constructive termination and demand severance anyway?
What do you mean by BS? Is it really BS? Perhaps it’s genuinely easier for the management to keep people in the office?
this assumes there's always an alternative employer who offers remote work as an option. tech is pretty privileged as a field bc demand > supply for a very long time affording many benefits other fields don't have. now that demand has decreased, companies can affront more control. could easily see remote work become incredibly scared as middle / small companies following signals of larger companies mandating rto
I think that'd be a really odd way of phrasing it if it's the latter. If it's the former, then I'm really curious where that rule exists, because I'm not aware of anywhere that has a maximum driving age like that.
Ignore the "free" claim. Instead compare the normal price. Turbotax normal price if you're making north of 200k is what? like $150? They're going to do a deceitful hustle to try to get you to pay it like some seedy online scammer.

The other players in the industry price their competing products at $15-$20. They're upfront and there's no hidden costs.

Intuit is an extreme outlier and charges an outlandish premium to fund their dishonest lobbying efforts, lawsuit settlements for their countless crimes, invasive advertising and opulent demands of their shamelessly corrupt C-suite.
No, but I would be forced to pay for the system whether I use it or not. I prefer not to pay for the system.
> go to a full-remote company

How many stories have we seen now where employers have reneged on their fully remote forever policies?
Adobe isn't an AI company so it stands to reason that the AI product they put out is crap. Photoshop and their other products while not "Crap" are certainly overpriced relative to opensource competitors.
I mean, if the person being contacted doesn’t want to be contacted privately, they’re free to ignore the request. No one’s saying they “need” access or that someone else is fully obligated to talk to them privately.

> Fatness is used as a signal of evil, dissolution, and/or moral decay, usually with the unspoken assumption that it's completely obvious that fat people are immoral and disgusting.

My favorite novel that uses this trope has to be A Confederacy of Dunces.
> Taxum 3: Even if you successfully did the thing, you don’t really think it will matter

This is the killer for me. For most of what I need to do, both "You think no one else will care" and "You yourself won’t care" are true. Not only do I think no one else will care, I usually know that no one else will care. In cases where they do care, it's short term: They care that the thing gets done, but once it is done, they don't care anymore. Because of these things, I myself don't care, and it's hard to get motivated to do anything.
Maybe there isn’t enough money on the table? They might be sitting on 20B of orders but maybe doubling the entire supply chain would cost a lot more?

> I really appreciate your comment and it brought up a bunch of emotions about my ADHD that I hadn’t thought of in a long time.

Yeah, it can be a journey that can seems to pull you back in randomly.

> I don’t know if this impacted you in childhood the same way it impacted me, but to pretty much every one of my teachers I was the “smartest kid in the room” who “just didn’t try” and I would “do amazing things if I just applied myself”

Yes, exactly the same. I think a result of it is self-esteem issues or identifying as lazy along with other types of self-shaming.

> and now as an adult I know that’s just my ADHD, it’s a super power and a curse all wrapped up into one. I wouldn’t be “the smartest kid in the room” without it, but I’d also be able to keep a calendar.

I can relate to this quite a lot.

> The buffer day is a fantastic idea. I’m considering getting back on the my medication again. If I do, I’ll give this a try.

To be honest, in true ADHD form, I haven't been able to consistently do it but I've found it has good results when I manage to do it. Kind of like meditation :)
Oh! Not now, no. No it is all bad. Definitely maladaptive. But how did it make its way through the millennia without killing everyone it touched and disappearing? Because a lot of the carriers survived, and maybe because of it, or - more likely - because of some trait related to it, like fat metabolism or some form of environmental tolerance. Sickle cell is the poster boy for this kind of thing - we though it was just all bad, it turned out to be adaptive for a particular environmnt.
I did OLT again this year. Due in part to how many click throughs they require if you aren't paying or doing state taxes through them, and due in part to significant personal distractions this year, I didn't notice that I actually hadn't filed until after April 17th, despite finishing everything but the final click-throughs in early February.

Fortunately I'm owed so shouldn't be paying any penalties for filing late. But it's still annoying.

I'm looking forward to an IRS free file system that won't require 5+ click-throughs to submit.
This likely will depend on the administration. With the ACA, for example, you see Democratic administrations try to get more people to take part in receiving subsidies and GOP administrations not wanting to put additional resources towards advertising them. (Not trying to get into a debate here on whether that's good/bad.)

In this case with the IRS program, the WaPo article even notes about the Biden administration wanting to "better serve low- and middle-income Americans entitled to a bevy of credits." As in, they want to make sure folks get all the deductions (and other benefits) they're allowed.

Edit: Let me also add that many people use paper forms because it's free (or other reasons). There has always been a publicly-funded version of a way to pay your taxes. But because it's paper, it's been very expensive for the government to administer. This also incentivizes the IRS to keep this system updated each year.
I suppose but that's the trade-off for performance. You have to design your system so that can't happen. Which if you're cloud then it's deploying multi-az, if you're coloing then paying for racks with separate power and/or having battery so you have time to fsync and shut down and if you're fully on-prem then you don't need my advice.

Or I suppose just pay for a managed service from someone who does that for you.
They should start with educating them how to manage remote/hybrid environment, because that's the most likely reason for their opinion.

I've worked in all ranges from fully on-site to fully remote and it's all in organization and workflow and I can absolutely see some manager seeing drop in productivity when trying to pretend no changes are needed to be made for remote work.
very cool. UI to compare items is a little clunky. Would like to select multiple items to compare from the main grid view. Right now it jumps me to the dedicated compare screen as soon as I select one item, and then I have to search to add new ones. I want to filter a list through facets and select a subset of the items on that list for detailed comparison.
Interesting, so it seems like quite a dynamic environment, even if those you work with seem used to it? I didn't expect to read that they are all treating it like it's nothing out of the ordinary.

I know that for some, an environment like the one you described runs in stark opposition to their preferred, or even needed work environment. I know a lot of coders who work just a bit more in a calm, academic style than in the bustling / economic one, but they still work in business environments and are highly valued.

Sometimes there are workarounds to isolate & address the worst parts in-place. Sometimes there are team members with whom to connect and pitch e.g. deep, calm, longer-scoped analytical work for greatly increasing general leverage, as opposed to breadth-first work which tends to be more patchy and somewhat less on the smart side. :-)

But also, maybe not! Perhaps you have a good opportunity here to maintain a good hold on your job-transition tools and keep looking around, before those things get a bit rusty.

Overall, it does seem wise to be asking if this is really a sustainable match for you, and if some upcoming change in this workplace for the (your) better is wise to anticipate. Perhaps this workplace will even help you identify a mental boundary for future job positions you may consider.

Just some thoughts though--hope things go better for you & good luck.

> ... a Texas Mennonite, who begs the soldiers not to march on to Mexico, saying ominously: “The wrath of God lies sleeping. […] Hell ain’t half full. Hear me. Ye carry war of a madman’s making onto a foreign land. Ye’ll wake more than the dogs.”

The "disordered Mennonite" further tells the irregulars "If ye cross yon river ye'll not cross it back".

This prophecy is delivered in a barroom at the border, one of three auguries of doom delivered by various elders the Kid happens upon. With these McCarthy repeatedly points the reader back to a long heritage of epic tragedy: Moby Dick, Macbeth, and The Iliad.

Any other obsessive re-reader out there care to recall the other two such episodes?
That's true, but it's also straightforward to train detectors with massive quantities of human and AI-generated text. So AIs can be trained by the latest detectors, but detectors can also trained by the latest AIs. It will probably come down to which side has more resources to devote to training.
Most of these are all plots of successful movies or TV shows.

* Creative person is having trouble creating. Creative person meets a muse...

Xanadu, the movie.

* Weird things happen, but it turns out they're not real.

About half of Twilight Zone episodes.

* An AI gets loose on the Net, but the author doesn't have a clear concept of what it means for software to be "loose on the Net."

Terminator

* Technology and/or modern life turn out to be soulless.

"The Office"

"The Lorax"

This one goes all the way back to "The Machine Stops".

* Bad person is told they'll get the reward that they "deserve," which ends up being something bad.

Several Twilight Zone episodes.

* Person is floating in a formless void; in the end, they're born.

"2001"

* Person uses time travel to achieve some particular result, but in the end something unexpected happens that thwarts their plan.

That one really has been done to death in SF.

* A mysteriously-named Event is about to happen ("Today was the day Jimmy would have to report for The Procedure"), but the nature of the Event isn't revealed until the end of the story, when it turns out to involve death or other unpleasantness. [Several classic sf stories use this approach, which is one reason we're tired of seeing it. Another reason is that we can usually guess the twist well ahead of time, which makes the mysteriousness annoying.]

This is the plot of the New Testament.

* In the future, an official government permit is required in order to do some particular ordinary thing, but the specific thing a permit is required for isn't (usually) revealed until the end of the story.

That was a 1950s thing, and seems to have died out.

* Someone calls technical support; wacky hijinx ensue. Someone calls technical support for a magical item.

Microsoft returns to its brawling global lobbying tactics
The last org I worked at went remote during the pandemic, and lost a big chunk of top performers because of it. They went to companies with the sort of vibrant office that my org had prior to the pandemic.

It’s a lose-lose. And hybrid isn’t a solution at all; it’s a bad outcome for both sides.

Over time things are just going to settle into remote orgs and in person orgs, and all that’s happening now is that companies are deciding which side of the fence to come down on. Either choice hurts in the short term.
This feels like a combination of Airtable (before the push to be a no-code app platform) and Reddit. This seems way better than the public Google Sheets that make their way around the latter site.

I'm curious though. How do you plan to make money from this project (premium subscription option, affiliate links for product-focused databases, etc.)? Will it remain free to use?

Regardless, it seems like an interesting project!
There are dozens of us! Dozens!

I mostly browse sites with JS disabled (with lots of exceptions of course) to get rid of those awful Euro cookie banners. Are those required in US now for some reason? My browser doesn't save the cookie that says they can save cookies, so they constantly prompt me.
RTO has simply become a structural disadvantage. Companies that cannot manage remote teams simply won't be able to attract top talent.

Even if 80% of companies RTO the remaining 20% that recruit remote-only jobs will create massive disruption in top performers. HR has their head in the sand because so many companies are either freezing hiring or reducing headcount, but there's a real issue here. Talented people just don't need to consider onsite work, period.

The only way you work onsite is you are inexperienced or you don't have another job. Maybe you want a big name on your resume. Either way those are jobs that will need to be filled again.

In this article, they state openly that Blizzard is managing a crisis to ship multiple products. The cost of a failed product release outstrips their lease cost by orders of magnitude. I don't get the play here. What's the outlook on the next release cycle without talent?
I find Claude significantly better than 3.5. I’d love to be able to make the case for that with data…

> To suggest it is merely lack of drivers is an oversimplification.

Not really. When you hook up an external PCI chassis with a graphics card inserted, it sees the PCI expansion slot and the GPU just fine, it just doesn't have a driver for the GPU.

>If you want most hardware to keep on working, no kernel updates are possible after the manufacturer ends support.

Yes, this is a problem and it is trying to be addressed by generic kernel images which should make it so that you no longer need to build a device specific kernel as all of the device specific stuff has been modularized.

https://source.android.com/docs/core/architecture/kernel/gen...

>Root support and service managers need to be installed aftermarket using the unofficial solution Magisk.

Root should not be necessary and these break Android's security model. Perhaps there is an operating system API that could be added that could provide the features you are looking for while keeping the system secure.

>No vendor kernel out of the box supports kernel compile time flags to enable the infrastructure to run Linux containers using Docker, Podman or LXC.

Android apps already have their own sandbox. It would be better to develop apps than docker images as darker images don't really follow the Android security model as well. What you want should be possible with Android 13 allowing for kvm.

>Self-invented file hierarchy with a lot of restrictions that make sense from an Android UI perspective but are prohibitive when used as a regular distro.

Why care about a file hierarchy? NixOS does away with it and seems to get along fine. Apps shouldn't rely on it.

>Since Android and drivers use bionic libc, it's not possible to run regular Linux binaries that tap into certain hardware features like Vulkan without reworking and recompiling them.

Most people run apps and not binaries. It is going to need to be reworked anyways.

That's just a correlation. People with type 2 diabetes are overwhelmingly overweight. Perhaps they were trying to cut their calorie intake, that seems plausible to me. There's a pretty clear correlation to insulin resistance too.

Problem is of course correlation isn't causation. We don't yet understand the action mechanism. Essentially the WHO's recommendation can be boiled down to "Overweight people sure drink a lot of diet soda, but they don't seem to be thin. Maybe it isn't helping?"

Well, maybe it isn't. Maybe it has no effect either way. Maybe it helps cut down calorie intake versus sugar, but increases cravings elsewhere. Maybe it tricks the body into thinking you ate something sweet, releasing insulin unnecessarily, and thus causing insulin resistance (that's my guess). Or maybe someone correlated data and drew completely incorrect conclusions based on their own bias. We don't yet know.

That said as of right now, it does seem prudent to eliminate or at least cut down on artificial sweeteners. But I could have said the same thing 20 years ago about avoiding eggs to drop your cholesterol, and that would have been wrong. Insert shrug emoji here.
Isn't it just because there are many more young people playing games than older people?

Market drivers demand and supply. Perhaps when the first hard core gamer generation is well and truly in retirement age we will see uptick in more games targeted for that audience...
Certainly anyone can start a lawsuit. Maybe there's eventually a chance for some kind of class action prevail, but I don't see how an individual student could make a dent against the resources of a university.
Let me provide an adjacent perspective: I started my career as an academic and excellent writing was survival in that jungle. While that's a profession where research and writing can actually "pay your bills" (metaphorically), it resembled Liu Cixin's dark forest:

“The (academic) universe is a dark forest. Every civilization (professor / grad student) is an armed hunter stalking through the trees like a ghost, gently pushing aside branches that block the path and trying to tread without sound. Even breathing is done with care."

Profs and students would poach ideas, submit before the research was even complete blatantly violate double-blind reviews, and submit to multiple venues in parallel (a huge no-no in academic publishing).

Arvix is the only silver lining on that cloud: https://arxiv.org/.
> That said, Alphas were mighty fast during their prime, I don't know if that was enabled by the insane memory model or just coincidence?

There were many of the same people working on:

- First 3 generations of DEC Alpha

- StrongARM

- SiByte MIPS (later purchased and rebranded by Broadcom)

- PASemi POWER

- PASemi was then aqui-hired by Apple for making ARM chips

These don't have any particularly unifying memory model, but were all quite performant, so while this may be a different coincidence, I suspect that the people involved are more likely a contributing factor to the performance than the memory model.
Well, there is obviously a conflict in UI experience. I can very well see how back/forward breaks the idea of a web "app", because what would backward mean in a classical app, except for maybe undo? I tend to put web addresses in roughly these two categories: those that try to be an app, and those which just present a document. True, inline editing may blur the line, but thats how I try to see it. IOW, I am not mad at someone killing my back/forward buttons if these just dont make any sense in the context of the app they are providing. OTOH, I am pretty pissed if someone steps outside of classic HTML if all they are doing is basically prviding text/images.
