Sometimes the LaTeX document contains many tables or figures that also need to be built. But those can be built in parallel.
From a macro perspective it certainly was predictable given the trends that have been mentioned. From a micro “make as much money from the most suckers now” and “build it and sell it to a REIT” perspective it was able to be ignored.

I heavily doubt that any age verification system will prevail. Perhaps it even comes with a renaissance of systems that do not comply with age verification. For online transactions like shopping it is moot anyway.

But any other service won't get my ID and I left a lot of those behind already.

But I doubt there will be enough legislative clout to enforce anything here. Maybe the EU will reinforce its poor tech standing again (although much of this isn't only due to bad policy).

This is the video I was talking about. My main background is in Systems Engineering, and my main concerns are the fact that we can't react, coupled with the socioeconomic part of it. I've got a decent background in economics as well though I wouldn't call myself an economist. I've yet to meet a real economist, most just use it as a prop to lie and support credibility for something that clearly isn't true when you dig into the details.

You really don't need a super advanced AI to do irreparable damage. All you really need it to do is stall the economic cycle and people end up doing the rest when they can't get food. Its one of those cascade failures that has repeated throughout history fairly regularly. Food Shortages->Unrest->Collapse->New Government, and that's what keeps me up because its so simple, but like any dam you don't see what led to the collapse until its really too late to do anything. Its worse when its pointed out, and no one pays attention.

Do you have any sources for computer art outside of the USA or Western Europe in the 50s and 60s? I'm sort of reliant on what comes up in extensive internet search missions that go down all kinds of rabbit holes, but I should have made more of an effort to figure out what was happening outside of USA/Europe at the time. I'd love to take a look and will work out a way either to include it in this article or in a later one.
It can reveal a lot more than you might at first think. For example, just with badge swipe timings for the whole cohort (and email/internal office chat metadata - even if people are careful with message content) you could see who might be likely having an affair with someone at work.

This is why I stubbornly refuse to use Typescript.

Javascript is an ECMA standard. I'll just do the JSDoc hack and cheer for TC39 rather than waste my time with a technology that's great for now but will probably end up being technical debt.

Think of how little somebody who uses C, bash, vim, and javascript has had to adapt in the past several decades, all because they avoided technologies where the buck stops with a community rather than a corporation.

Corporations are cool and all. I'm not a dirty hippie. But at the end of the day they don't make money when things don't change.

Here I can probably weigh in a little. While we can argue day and night over whether tracking this is worthwhile, JPM ( and likely Discover ) has some history ( and manpower to do it ) of building their own systems when reasonable.
"Widely used chemical Tricholoroethylene strongly linked to Parkinson"
She said Epstein "directed her" to have sex with Minsky, but if I'm reading this right she didn't say she actually did have sex with him; copying from Wikipedia: "Virginia Giuffre testified in a 2015 deposition in her defamation lawsuit against Epstein's associate Ghislaine Maxwell that Maxwell "directed" her to have sex with Minsky among others. There has been no allegation that sex between them took place nor a lawsuit against Minsky's estate. Minsky's widow, Gloria Rudisch, says that he could not have had sex with any of the women at Epstein's residences, as they were always together during all of the visits to Epstein's residences."

In [1] it says "she was forced to have sex with MIT professor Marvin Minsky", but if you read the actual records that's based on then it's very vague and unclear if she was only "directed" and it never happened, or if it did.

This makes it quite different from Prince Andrew for example, where she stated she did have sex with him in clear terms.

> If you look at Chess, Poker or writing Python, I am not sure that natural evolution is giving us a huge head start.

The point you're missing is that those games have been designed by humans, for humans, so even if the natural selection didn't give us any advantage in playing chess per se, it conditioned our brain in a way that made us invent chess in the first place.

That being said, the original argument of comparing NN training data and natural selection is stupid anyway.

> We decided as a collective that murder, rape, abortion, climate change, evolution, gender pronouns, and all the other stuff was the right direction.

There have been debates about whether murder is justifiable in certain situations, such as self defense under the castle doctrine.

We're literally discussing Stallman's opinion about whether some girls were raped.

Abortion is INCREDIBLY controversial. It is far from a decided issue with concensus.

Same with climate change, not even the entire scientific community is certain to the degree of man-made influence on our climate.

Darwinian style evolution remains officially a theory.

Gender pronouns, yeah again, hardly a consensus there. Biologically, there are X and Y chromosomes, and that's where known and agreed upon science ends. It's just very disingenuous to pretend that people having gender pronouns that differ from their biological sex is some universally agreed upon truth.

I think the number of purely mental fields is fairly small, especially in technology.

More than that, though, are how amenities affect future applicants. If I was a prospective student choosing between Oxford and say, Princeton, the quality of the campus and amount of resources available would affect my decision. My impression was that Oxbridge is very much about maintaining and continuing the traditions of the UK more than anything else.
There’s similar regulation being proposed in the EU. I wonder if OpenAI is behind it as well.

Chenoweth et al did a study of over 600 movements since 1900, and found those that used violence/force succeeded about 25% of the time, and those that did not succeeded in their goals about 50% of the time. The list is in Appendix A of:

> Java applets were never that big. They didn't work very well (for the reason you mention) and weren't ubiquitous. They also nearly all looked like shit.

Not sure if it's the same thing, but... when i was 16 or 17 i did tech support for an uncle who used to do trading with a trading client application written in java and some other tech stuff.

The java thing was launched via a desktop launched and the splash screen i later found out being java web start (.jnlp extension iirc?).

I didn't see the value at that time, but now that i think of it, java web start was a nice solution to manage "apps" installed and also fetch updates, automatically. IIRC there was a setting to always download the latest version, if possible.

Needless to say, this was ahead of its time.

As I move forward in my career i always find some new interesting thing about the java virtual machine, it truly is a marvel of technology.

The latest things that got me amazed were the flight recorder and mission control toolbox (very cool to be able to see in realtime what your application is doing and why it's performing the way it is) and the new garbage collectors (we're currently using G1, but i want to propose testing Shenandoah or ZGC).
I can recommend Kirby (https://getkirby.com/), a flat file PHP CMS. It’s fast, has a panel to update data and can be hosted on any basically any PHP host. Just use the quite simple PHP-templates and add CSS & JS like you already know how to do. No need to complicate things.
They are, but data center GPU (ampere and above) are twice as good in performance per watt.

JPMorgan Chase is a bank.

For companies where insider trading is a serious issue. As an employee, you will be key-logged, tracked, spied upon.

That's the deal, same as working for the Pentagon. Every employee understands this. It's not in any way, shape or form unethical. It's just the deal.
> I'd personally prefer living out in the sticks, growing my own food rather than being subjected to this level of monitoring.

I highly recommend people saying stuff like this to actually try out the said lifestyle for an extended period of time.
In your own links I couldn't find anything about constant audio and video recording, body language, stress, whatever monitoring. Just presence, email, call, and some data monitoring. Just because some parts are true doesn't mean it wasn't embellished.

Point about the *made up* stuff is that the subreddit in question has a lot of questionable content and straight up lies. Whole point of the subreddit in question is to pain capitalism and every employer as the devil just reaping money out of mistreating their employees.
True. And conversely your not smart just because your safe.
I guess it depends on what you do and your goals. It might be not necessary to do average developers job (and full disclosure, it wasn't necessary 10 years ago as well). But understanding fundamentals gives you insights to be better prepared to choose right 'interface' when you need to. Also you can see it as a way to stretch your 'programmer muscles'.

After going through lecture topics list, I think most of those you actually need to know as a working programmer. Not because they are prerequisites, but because after couple of years in the field, you will have to touch most of those topics anyway.

"stopped working" is a vague description of the problem. Do the lights come on? etc.

Have you tried Googling the machine's name, model number? There's a chance that that there might be a copy of service manuals somewhere.

Could you fix a broken VCR, DVD player, desktop computer? If not, then it might be better to find a technician who has the essential skills to take a look.
As long as you really are. I’d just point out that on numerous occasions I’ve run into people who
drastically overestimate their abilities and productivity. Their self perception is fundamentally broken and it most comes down to under estimating what other people actual do and how much work it is and then when combined with your comment is a recipe for disaster. These are high IQ people who apply some rationalization like this to be lazy and somehow think others and management doesn’t notice. It’s super frustrating as one knows they are very capable but when they get fired these people are in complete shock. That tends to happen after they embark on a simple project that should take only a day or two, but after convincing themselves they are a 10x developer and a refactor like
this project would take everyone else at least 3 weeks, so no big deal if it takes 2 weeks. Opps, socially awkward is trying to explain to them that everyone knows you aren’t working … and now you are fired … might be a reason you have been let go previously… even though you’re clearly capable.

Sorry for the rant. Just pointing out people who think they are 10x are probably more like 2x when pushing themselves and can risk being 0.3x when applying your attitude.
I think the most interesting part is

> I think everyone expects their employer to track them to some extent. It is pretty standard practice for employers to monitor and run analysis on things like building badge swipes and the amount of time spent connected when working from home. It has also become very common place for employers to record audio and video at the office.

That sounds dystopian to me already (maybe because I'm not in the US? Or haven't spend much time at BigCorp? But is that really the default minimum these days?)

If you asked someone 10-20 years ago if that description sounded dystopian, would you be more likely to get a "yes definitely" than you are today?

I'm way more worried by the dystopia society accepts as "normal" than one that is forced on us and that we could potentially fight against.
That's quite an extreme set of statements, and I very much doubt what you consider "illegal" is actually illegal.

When you publish something for others to view (text, images, code, whatever), others are allowed to view it. You can't anticipate how others view it, with their eyes or with screenreaders to assist. You can't stop them from reading it, thinking about it, discussing it with their friends, taking notes, summarizing it. You can't stop people from learning from your published content or recognizing patterns between it and other similar things.

Sorry, but you can't create a license that says "I will allow you to view this but you cannot learn from it. If you learn from it, you need to pay me."
Not sure if you posted before the edits, but I'm pretty convinced by them, seeing as how there are multiple alternatives with the same data.

I thought this was already the case, considering most "art" is garbage anyways (well, 90% of everything, according to that rule).

I do not thinks artist are "punished" more for making bad works, as much as they are loosing that extra "excess attention" that our media-high society gives them. Of course, if you put regular human beings on a pedestal and make an Idol of them then any minor misstep will be unforgivable.

> The difference between me and Joe Biden or some other famous or perhaps wealthy person is that they tend to have some degree of options of buying back or controlling privacy

Exactly this. I should have given an example.
Effective monopolies, like many found in the US (tech, banking, ISPs, energy, etc) are very profitable because of the market capture. Those profits are the real driver of capitalism, not competition. It is worthwhile for those companies to use those excess profits to 'lobby' government to pass/eliminate laws to ensure continued monopoly existence. This is the system we have - it guarantees eventual market capture and monopoly pricing.
It's not a press release from a years-long professional in the industry. It's an announcement from the press officer, who is (per the WWW site's own directory) a BSc student in a STEM subject not related to PR, of a student-run organization that does social events.

As one commenter has already pointed out, the hyperlinked WWW site is for CLIC, the student-run organization, not for the EPFL as claimed in the title at the top of this page. The page says CLIC in the banner at the top, and CLIC four times in the body.

I'm not sure how "Association des étudiant.e.s en Informatique et Communications" abbreviates to "CLIC". Apparently it was "CDIC" some years ago. That doesn't help to clarify, though. (-:

HR is not your friend, but to say they are your enemy is overly reductive.

The job of HR is to protect the company, which often means ensuring things are done by the book, or that enough compensation is given that it is better to take the money than argue.

They aren't your friend, but they aren't your bosses friend either, and if your boss is trying to do something that will get the company in trouble then you may find that you and HR are on the same side. I've seen this happen when a friend's manager was trying to put somebody on a PIP without a good reason and it did not end well for the manager.
