That doesn't seem right. I went to a state school. I think CS grads had a marketed 90ish% placement rate. Talking to others in my classes right before graduation it seems we had at least 80% of people with jobs lined up prior to graduation.

Come on, that link is from 11 years ago. It says only 8% end up with jobs 10 years later in their field of study. There is no evidence presented as to the actual causation.

This is a particularly funny quote given the times we live in now: “A third is that there are not a lot of exciting new aerospace or defense initiatives that spur the imagination of young engineers like there once were.”

But one problem with this kind of thing is that it has the character of "How to Draw an Owl" [1]. I have been tinkering with Ableton for 10+ years but when I got to the song structure part (especially the Photek Drum 'n Bass one) I kinda had to laugh.

Making music is really difficult. This kind of tutorial is step one on a thousand step journey.

Don't listen to him any program claining 100% retention or anything around it is falsifying their claims. Working at walmart or target can qualify as that. Often, the only people that report on this are the ones that find jobs which is a small minority. It's essentially meaningless.

I used to think this way until I spent some time working with and tuning my TRAMP setup. Now that Eglot is shipped with Emacs 29 I've switched from lsp-mode, and lo and behold, dealing with remote LSP servers is a lot easier.

I was a hardcore terminal Emacs and tmux user, but have since switched to GUI Emacs and multi-vterm and was able to retain much of my tmux muscle memory. I now am routinely editing files on a handful of different machines every day, and it's mostly great. I still have to call tramp-cleanup-all-connections to deal with the occasional hangs after a few days of idle time, but I'm pretty happy.

>The distance from the edge is a product of n I.I.D. variables

It is not a product of random variables; it is an iterated random variable. The output of one influences those higher in the chain. Redo your python code with rand(rand(rand...))) not rand() * rand() * rand()...

The expectation of composition of functions is not the composition of expectations, so there is some work to do.

For uniform over [0,1] for the innermost item, it becomes an iterated integral, with value (1/2)^n.
That probability of default is based on the credit triangle which is a back of envelope type of estimation, I would take the number for face value at all.

Literally nothing has been lost, because all of the methods available to create music are still available, and people are still using them. Aside from that, the net gain on music technology is a massive net gain however you see it.

I'm not dismissing you because you're a 'boomer', I'm dismissing the point because it's just willfully ignorant.

If you think 'modern music' lacks diversity, you're simply not looking for anything original. Because you can find it, by the bucketload.
I've started using justfiles (https://just.systems/man/en/) for everything I would've previously used Makefiles for that aren't directly related to compiling code.

Make is a wonderful way to provide a standard set of entry points into working with repos. For instance, if you can standardize on `make setup`, `make test`, `make docker`, etc. on all of your organization's code, it's very easy for a new develop on a project to start contributing quickly. You could do that with shell scripts, but then you have to re-implement all the command line parsing that make gives you for free. And with justfiles, you can have something that looks and feels like make, but with a more pleasant syntax for non-compiling jobs.

IMO, Just is to make as zsh/fish are to bash. It's not ubiquitously available, and it's not 100% backward compatible, but if you can convince your coworkers to adopt it as your standard, it makes life that much easier for everyone.
Only one of those links, the Iranian one, dated 12 years ago, is about a case where there was MITM with a bogus but valid certificate. The Chinese and Syrian cases are just straight MITM, a somewhat knowledgeable teenager could do that, and to the extent it'd work you should focus on things that's solve for the "knowledgeable teenager" case not the "What if state actors with unlimited resources target me?" case.

Twelve years ago is a different era, no Blessed Methods, no Certificate Transparency, pinning was new, which is why they got caught.

What I suspect happened is that RMS had a theory in his head about something incidental to the topic of conversation, and he immediately derailed the conversation to mention his theory.

Unlike in most RMS-derailed conversations, this time it sounds like it might've confused the grave allegation in the original conversation, at the same time it compounded outrage.

I'm glad RMS now understands that his ideas around this were mistaken, but I think most people aren't wired quite like he is. He might be thinking some kind of "Oh, it turned out that theory seems incorrect, thank you for correcting me with this information I did not have before". But a lot of people were/are upset, and going to respond in various different ways.

I think RMS's intentions remain principled, and I hope RMS now has advisors to help him function best towards those intentions, including helping him understand how different people will perceive and think about things.
It's hard to engage in motte & bailey style conversations with different commentators.

> Just imagine it's a human on the other side typing or speaking, and you're getting to hear / see what they type as they type it.

Yes. I imagine it and I shudder from suddenly experiencing how annoying that would be.

> There were even chat systems that worked like this, including (I think?) the Unix talk command

Correct. I've used `talk` in high school (and a colorized variant called `ytalk.qq`). It was a fun experience, and I miss it a bit - since then, the only software I used that kind of reproduced it, was Etherpad.

Now, the way `talk` conversations and real-life conversations are tolerable, whereas watching someone (a human or a bot) typing 'till completion is frustrating, is in the speed of the feedback loop. When talking (or `talk`ing), I can interrupt you when I see you saying things I already know. You can interrupt me too. This happens at the level of phonemes/characters, and allows the conversation to flow dynamically - one moment, we'd have a rapid back-and-forth, another moment, I'd listen to you very carefully, etc.

With normal messengers of today, if I were to see you typing (instead of having the - also annoying, but for other reasons[0] - pencil icon), but had no way to interrupt you - I'd be frustrated all the time, being able to know with good confidence what you want to say while you're 1/3rd through your message. Natural language, especially in conversations, is stupidly redundant. I'd just Alt+TAB to HN or something, and wait for you to finish[1].

This is my experience with GPTs. I often want them to just stop typing, but if I hit "Stop", I might just break the response in the wrong moment, creating cleanup work for myself. The side effect of the streaming chat UIs being dog slow makes this even worse: there's no telling how many seconds it'll take for my "Stop" to register. For some reason, this gets both worse and less predictable as the conversation gets longer.

[0] - All kinds of interpersonal nonsense, but a big factor is that, with a bot, you know it's actually generating a message and will finish soon (unless the connection fails). With humans? Who the hell knows. They may type you an essay. Or type two sentences for 5 minutes. Or get distracted by cat. Or just be screwing with you. With humans, half the time I'm considering looking for ways to disable typing indicators.

For CS grads, it’s got to be close. I’m sure it’s not exactly 100%, every year, forever, but I’m well involved in the program and can’t think of a single student since I graduated that didn’t land a job out of college, and the program advertises it as 95%.

No one from there goes to FAANG, it’s not a prestigious enough school for that. But there is an endless demand in large companies like government contractors, banks, the small web dev shops, etc. that need programmers for 60k$ out of school.
The reality is that guns will protect you because 1) the sheer count of citizens is substantially and necessarily higher than military, and 2) citizens themselves are a critical part of the spoils of war. Poll Afghanistan, Iraq, or Syria for more information. Disarming is an essential predicate for coercion.

People like yourself have been fixated on that one sentence because it’s easy to dismiss and ignored the other points I raised.

No it isn’t. In fact it’s exactly what happened. This method of brinksmanship worked once so now this is a regular feature of American political life.

I think the odds are more likely that the economic cycle stalling as a result of firms using earlier non-generalized AI will likely cause a collapse before we actually make it to the point of generalized AI.

Its what's happened historically every time there is a shortfall in food security. Unrest occurs, people starve, governments fall. Then we have to build it all back up from scratch.

Too bad almost no one knows how to do bookmaking these days, and how to prevent the pests from eating the books.

Disallow spending more than was received in the past fiscal year. Force Congress to do the hard job of balancing the budget instead of relying on ever increasing debt.
It's not. It's often due to under reporting. And sometimes the blatant falsification of data. But you don't really need to do that when only a small percentage of individuals reply to your survey. And thats how you get a high placement rate. You also need to understand that for the hundreds of thousands of CS, IT degrees that are awarded each year only a few thousand jobs exist at the entry level. You see reports of hundreds of thousands of job postings but the vast majority are just repeats of the same listing.
Politicians like Trump, Johnson and others to me are a symptom of the problems neoliberalism caused. If you de-industrialize your country and outsource workers class jobs to low-wage countries then you seed a majority of pissed off workers.

Calling Trump neoliberal is blatantly wrong from my pov. He's mainly a nationalist who is able to assemble the angry people (that have good reason to be angry) behind him and initiates culture wars.

All that is just driven by opportunistic politicians and megacorps who willingly bite the hand that feeds 'em: Without a halfway functional society there's no good business long term.

Incredible. This is so sophisticated and takes so much effort it makes you wonder just how many other wallets are compromised from before you even use them. There are so many other low effort attacks you can run that the fact that people are doing THIS really makes me wonder just how many wallets out there are 100% compromised.

It would be trivial for any iOS-based software wallet to compromise your seed before your private key before is even created. You don't even need fancy spyware that calls home. If the seed is generated from a method that isn't random you'd never know. It will appear random to you, but the author of the software could simply increment on a known value and be able to recreate every private key ever created with that app. No one would ever know. The attacker could sit silent for years or even decades, and if they DID drain a wallet there would be no way to prove it and no one would believe the victim. It would just be a case of, "Well, you must have leaked your seed, it's your fault."

I can even see something like Coinbase Wallet being 100% compromised. The apology post is probably already written in a draft somewhere.
They didn't say the type system is a problem, they said it caused a problem.

A long while ago, I wrote a little tutorial[0] on quantizing a speech commands network to the Raspberry. I used that to control lights directly and also for wake word detection.

More recently, I found that I can just use more classic VAD because my uses typically don't suffer if I turn on/off the microphone. My main goal is to not get out the mobile phone for information. That reduces the processing when I turn on the radio...

Not high-end as your solution, but nice enough for my purposes.

There's a music teacher at NYU, Ethan Hein, that seems to be working on this exactly in the context of groove pedagogy. For example, he recently picked apart the amen break in a blog post [0] and tried to replicate it in ableton from scratch, methodically. He first lies out the basic pieces or the groove, then builds up the groove adding and removing elements, gradually complexifying it.

As someone who has trouble with drum patterns as well I really liked the idea.

Both are the same organization. There isn't any real segmentation between Vice and Vice News like in Buzzfeed (have friends who have freelanced for Vice).

Which is completely fair, but it's also wrong to do what folk are doing in this thread and state that that is universal, and that therefore at least one parent must be unemployed (I don't think that is the intent, but it is the outcome of what they are stating is fact: you can't WFH if you have kids, and therefore RTO is the only option, but you can't RTO if you have kids).
