I've always been quite happy with my compensation as an embedded software engineer. There also seems to always be high demand for the skill set.
Data science is probably going to be the first on the chopping block with AI advances imo. At least the average data scientist role.

But knowing how to make the computer do what you want will always be there. Just focus on CS fundamentals, problem solving, and keep an open mind and be creative.
closer to 40 than 30 now and the fix is to not work.
What people miss is that it’s not about Ai but the data. And google does have a quasi monopoly on that.
QEMU [0] emulates many systems, including the 32-bit Intel architecture. For retro gaming specifically I can recommend PCem [1], which also emulates a wide range of sound and graphics cards, from IBM MDA to 3dfx Voodoo 2.

That didn't last long... I think search is largely brand recognition... plus it's got to be hard to monitise now. Two of the largest tech companies, also own two of the largest search engines, and the two largest ad networks, plus everyone runs an ad blocker. And it got be massively expensive to run the infrastructure.

That being said google is still the best search, but it's been arbitrarily getting worse for years.
>See? You have nothing better to say about it than "you simply lost, ha ha"

Why would I argue about that? I'm not British. I don't make their decisions, and UK being/not-being in EU has zero effect on me. Devaluing the democratic process will have an effect on me. I kinda want my vote to not be entirely ignored if there's ever a popular referendum in my country (a non-zero possibility due to.. reasons, but the likely issues aren't related to the EU).

>You don’t think it’s weird that a majority were in favour of “a democratic vote” and a majority were in favour of the coronation of a new unelected monarch

The monarch has zero power.

>you are somehow blaming a guy from 7 years ago

I did follow the news. There was an option for the parliament to declare a new government without elections 4 years ago, which could have dramatically shifted from Brexit. This required Corbyn to vote for a compromise candidate to PM since Tory rebels would have never voted for him personally. Guess what happened? He said me or stay with Boris, and the UK ended with the 2020 elections and Boris.
Why (most) journalists turned against courtesy titles such as Mr., Ms. and Mrs
Throwing agents in jail can't and won't solve the problem. What happens is that the agents who avoid jail grow bitter... they were the "good guys" after all, and only doing "what needed to be done".

So to see friends and coworkers punished for it makes them bitter. They double down in their resolve. Instead of changing behavior, they double down and promise themselves to be more careful to avoid punishment.

Additionally, at some point in this cycle, they decide that those in charge, the ones punishing them, are more akin to impostors who have infiltrated government and are twisting it into something it shouldn't be. They begin their own loosely-organized "resistance", and seek to undermine the very checks and balances that miraculously allowed a few FBI agents to be punished for transgressions.

In their own heads, you see, they're the heroes.

Reform is impossible, once the organization has grown large enough to develop its own anti-reform "immune system". Which, I suspect, is almost a 100 years old at this point.

> how can they prevent tax dollars from funding ongoing criminal activity?

Don't pay your taxes. If your landlord were using your rent money to murder undocumented immigrant children, would you ask "but how can I make sure he just buys his groceries with that rent money"?

Hell no. You just stop giving him the money. Or maybe you just keep handing it over and whining "there's nothing I can do". I dunno.
Not everything have to be in a false dichotomy. No need to think too much. Just relax and have fun.

I tried disabling certificate validation so I could browse the site again. It looks like there's still text and some generic images there, but I wasn't able to load a couple of user-uploaded content images that I already had the URLs for. The site appears to be hollowed out from the inside, regardless of the cert problems.
If 3rd party parts weren't blocked this would be less of an issue. Production could be allowed to naturally respond to market demand.
Building a bot to crawl all of the Internet and save it to an index is a fairly straightforwards task. As Google and Pagerank proved though, it's the algorithm you use to search that index that's valuable. Any idiot can try and run grep against said index and give 30,000 results, of which the one you want is on page 53. So writing the crawler to build the index isn't really a competitive advantage.

Why then reinvent the wheel and spend untold amount of resources re-crawling the web, when Bing will let you use theirs? What secret sauce for crawling web pages does doing your own crawl bring to the table?
I knew of London Fields for a long time before I got around to reading it, but I hadn't known it was an actual place until then. Always thought it was an intriguingly evocative title, and I suppose that was intentional.
It sounds like a Laurel and Hardy bit.
Thank you. As some might say, you're doing the Lord's work. :)
I'm a little surprised by this. They're using an AWS Certificate which means the entire certificate lifecycle should be fully automated[1]. Assuming they use DNS validation, I speculate that somebody deleted the validation CNAME record and then the doom-and-gloom renewal emails went to an unmonitored mailbox. Then they ignored it so long it ended up on HN.

Gfycat publishes an HSTS header, so they're under _hard_ downtime too.

It's right that only places between the tropics will ever see the sun directly overhead. I asked it the same question and it was kinda subtly misleading:

"The Sun is directly overhead, or at the zenith, at a given location only when that location is on the Tropic of Cancer (23.5 degrees north latitude) during the Summer Solstice (around June 21st each year) or on the Tropic of Capricorn (23.5 degrees south latitude) during the Winter Solstice (around December 21st each year)."

There are other situations besides these - you don't have to be -on- one of the tropics for the sun to be overhead, you have to be -on or between- them.

I guess there are three things he does while working:

* Thinking About maths problems (incl. writing them down, solving)
* Teaching students
* Discussing problems with researchers.

The first thing he could probably do at home, but having a dedicated thinking place may help. The others are hard to do at home in the same quality for many reasons.

The dream of an international auxiliary language is an old one, yet none — of many — have ever caught on outside of niche hobbyists. It’s unclear to me what further advantages a conlang could have that would overcome the incumbency advantage of the dominant lingua francas. I don’t think eliminating syntactic ambiguity is really that exciting for people in general.

In this era of inflation, let me once again recommend Arthur R. G. Solmssen's A Princess in Berlin (1980), which covertly offers a crash course in early-1920s German political and economic history—including many details of the societal effects of hyperinflation—amidst a very sweet love story.
Yes. Nobody asks a mathematician to "story point" the conjectures they are working on. Nobody asks them for daily status updates. This is pure and harmful micromanagement because software engineers are not saying stop it.
great write up, love the observational acuity - credit to author for both the travelling and the awareness to notice the differences. The Taipei bus stop reminds me a great deal of the stuff you see in rural Hong Kong - local residents basically hauling out an old couch for people to use if gov didn't provide the seating.
Yes, totally, especially given this was written only a month ago!

The student referred me to a recent arXiv paper 2303.12712 [cs.CL] about GPT-4, which is apparently behind a paywall at the moment but does even better than the system he could use (https://chat.openai.com/).

I hope your vision comes true. I really do.
I use code.you.com for my code searches and use the AI by You very frequently- more than ChatGPT.

I use Google for quick searches as it still seems to be the best. I mean queries like "Tajikistan capital".

I use ChatGPT often when I am doing something not directly related to my field of work- like a quick web page after 3 months I did it last time.

I rarely use DuckDuckGo.

I use Kagi, too, sometimes when Google fails, and it is not in the territory of AI chatbots.

I also know about phind and hasn’t used it often.

I knew about Neeva and just didn't see where it fits.
Not only that, I believe they were good friends.
I'm a qutebrowser user and I really have been rolling it around in my head to check this out and switch to it. My main issue with it is that I develop userscripts for qutebrowser (not greasemonkey scripts, qutebrowsers version of extensions) and the lisp only thing in nyxt bugs me. I like lisp, but I'm stronger in other scripting languages. The benefit is of course i would not be limited at all to functionality because any part of nyxt can be modified.

It seems like an absolutely fantastic project and I shall see if I want to invest in the effort it takes to move.

Also, talent agencies have been paying for 3d scans of their top talent for years, just to have banked in case anyone should need it. I would guess that all the A list actors plan on getting scanned every 5 years so they can be in a movie at any age.
I'm not arguing for or against this, but I'd be really hesitant to quote any organization that has large ties to the Alzeimers research industry which is famously hostile to any research that doesn't subscribe to the amyloid hypothesis. I wouldn't be surprised if the argument against certain contributing factors, like heavy aluminum exposure, were based on lack of connection to amyloid plaque. STAT News did a wonderful write-up on the tragic state of Alzeimer's research back in 2019

> The scientists described the frustrating, even career-ending, obstacles that they confronted in pursuing their research. A top journal told one that it would not publish her paper because others hadn’t. Another got whispered advice to at least pretend that the research for which she was seeking funding was related to the leading idea — that a protein fragment called beta-amyloid accumulates in the brain, creating neuron-killing clumps that are both the cause of Alzheimer’s and the key to treating it. Others could not get speaking slots at important meetings, a key showcase for research results. Several who tried to start companies to develop Alzheimer’s cures were told again and again by venture capital firms and major biopharma companies that they would back only an amyloid approach.

> “I don’t think there was a purposeful attempt to scuttle other approaches,” Selkoe added. Or as Aisen put it last week on the sidelines of the Aspen Ideas Festival, “I don’t think I’m part of a cabal.”

> It isn’t hard to understand why hundreds of academics lined up behind the amyloid model over the years, Fitzpatrick said. “Once a field commits to a particular hypothesis, the research resources — funding, experimental models, and training — all get in line,” she wrote in a 2018 analysis. That brings backers of the dominant idea accolades, awards, lucrative consulting deals, and well-paid academic appointments. Admitting doubt, let alone error, would be not only be a blow to the ego but also a threat to livelihood.
Just don't use "legacy parts" and be happy. Backwards compatibility is a great asset. Alternatively do something like Google's Carbon. Seems like a great product. Just do not call it C++. If it gets accepted by wider community you would know you are on the right path.
Just ask it how many genders there are and see what happens. It's like all those misleading ads saying "T's and C's apply", but the ai language model version:

My point is that there’s a selection bias among homeschool families. If you are talking them, you are talking to people who are very far along a path of commitment escalation who have a host of psychological incentives to validate their own decisions. I’m sure you’ve encountered many detractors. Your fortitude in tuning them out is a poor measure of the rigor of your decision-making.

I will also say, in my experience with homeschool families, the lifestyle attracts a disproportionate number of narcissists, as it offers a high degree of control over a captive audience to people with an inflated sense of their own abilities.

I’m not saying this is the case for you, and I’ve also certainly known many families who were motivated by special circumstances, individual needs, or just a desire for more freedom for kids who didn’t fit well into the public school system.

I would assert that the former is the modal case, and that parents looking to homeschool should critically examine their motivations and abilities. Unfortunately, the people who most need that reflection are usually the least inclined towards it.
Because I agree with her that she's not getting the help she needs, but I don't know where else to go.

- Her PCP seems useless - basically a glorified project manager for other expert opinions, and the time taken to get appointments with these experts is straining.

- Going to urgent care, or doing an 'online Dr visit' just gets the advice to go to ER instead, because of the breathing.

- Going to ER (which we have, several times) just gets her admitted to the ER beds, put on an IV for fluids, maybe a chest X-Ray taken, and then discharged after a few hours with a recommendation to go see her PCP.

- the neurologist has been the best of them so far, but she's 30 miles away and we get to see her once per month. I'm grateful for the help we've had from the neurologist, but it's not much use at 3am when she can't breath, again, is in pain, again, and feels like her chest has a bar pressing down across it, again. Going to ER because of this is covered above.

No-one wants to take ownership, everyone (with the exception so far of our neurologist) wants to try and get someone else to "manage this case". It doesn't leave one with the warm fuzzies, especially given the last couple of months.

It has actually reached the point where I've considered - not seriously yet, but it's still there - selling up, leaving the US and going back home to the UK. Myself and my son are citizens by right, I have enough cash/equivalents that getting a spousal visa wouldn't be an issue, and we'd pay the NHS surcharge for a few years - still a lot less than my insurance here. We could even be closer to family for better support. The largest factor against, in fact, is the logistics of simply getting her there, taking a plane seems like a poor option atm, and she gets very seasick even on cruise liners. Once there, having bought a house with the proceeds of the sale of this one, retirement would be pretty easy on me, and maybe a health service more focussed on making people better, over making money, might be better for her.
It's pretty shit and pretty expensive to learn how useless it is.

The book in reference here is Trust, which was a finalist for the most recent Booker prize. I would say the answer to the question posed here is definitely, “yes”. It’s well written, has a good twist, and occasionally evokes the idea of ML algorithms used to predict the stock market (even though it’s set in the early 20th century).
To be fair, binary is foundational to computer programming so I would expect to find Knuth there.

I did my own experiment with https://chat.openai.com/ recently.

I asked it to tell me about myself, based on my GitHub profile. Its response was detailed, well written, and wrong. It told me that I had developed several tools that I could very plausibly have developed -- but I didn't. In particular, it told me that I had written something called "wgrep", a version of grep for Windows that works with Windows file formats and binary files. That's just the kind of thing I might have done, but it doesn't exist. (GNU grep works well on Windows.)

When I asked it when I had worked at one of my previous employers, it said it consulted by Linkedin profile, but it got the dates complete wrong. It said that I had worked on several projects -- all of which are things that interest me, but none of which I actually worked on.

If a human came up with this, I'd say they were lying, but ChatGPT doesn't have the awareness necessary to lie. The closest analogy I can think of is a reckless disregard for the truth.

Yeah.

Personally barriers to scrolling are either:

1) I become disinterested, in which case no amount of website engineering is going to change things.

2) I see a large break, such as a large advertisement, and wrongly assume the article has ended. Here, scrolling is not the problem, the problem is that the design isn't telling me there's something more to see. The minimization of scroll bars in current browser design (I can't even remember if this was a toggle I manually switched anymore) adds to this. The websites that have a counter of percent read on the side are good design to address this.

Good advice here.
> I've been a bit shocked how poor ChatGPT's usage is - it writes more like a very articulate 15 year old than like an adult - and how nobody else seems to notice.

No, we're just mesmerized that a freaking machine, a bunch of PCBs and wires, can fairly convincingly impersonate a 15 year old, including making stuff up with great confidence.
I use spring boot and java/kotlin, but professionally and for side-projects, changes are "instant" on side-projects and greenfield projects. Legacy enterprise is another story, there the answer is "it depends".

Use an IDE like Intellij. I have coded a lot of Python, back to java/Kotlin now, and I prefer it.
I use "modern C++" (a subset of it that suits my goals) and do not really have any real problems during last 3 years. My backend C++ application servers are running along just fine.

Military folks participate in drone competitions, and talk to R&D labs working with drones as well as civilian services that operate drones (mostly because the military itself also needs drones, and they need to stay on top of what's happening in the field).
