During last 3 decades Europe got heavily demilitarized. Army in Germany became dysfunctional money sucking black hole without working equipment. Ukraine with its forces never posed a threat to Russia. And yet russians decided to invade. Looking for a job now and can tell, that defence companies are seriously hiring in Germany at the moment. Thanks to russians European NATO part will be armed to the teeth soon.
I pretty much only use it for games with friends. Some of the Mini Golf, Ping Pong and Chess games are pretty good.
I agree with you. I suppose if peoples' goals don't include marriage and they are happy then what exactly is the problem?

Saying these people fail because they don't get married feels like imposing a certain viewpoint on others. I'd say it's a problem if they want to get married and can't find a partner. Incels are a problem. People who are happy with their life aren't.
I got what was available at the time. The golf r is low production car finding one to buy was hard enough.

As a Visual Studio user, I have to force-kill it all the time.

I've come to loathe the VS experience; I used to love it but it really feels like it's been left behind to rot.
Could the US have prevented the war in Ukraine? Yes

Is the US to blame? No.

Blaming the US is the same logic that blames women for being raped because they went outside without wearing a burka.
Not to mention, that “14% higher productivity” headline translated to an under 2% increase in resolved issues.
I’m familiar with all that. I worked at Stripe, where I started with a skeleton server first.

My point is, when I work with a framework that generates an OpenAPI spec, I find it faster to generate the spec from a prototype server than to write the spec by hand.
It depends on how successfully people are "making peace". In the US, I think a lot of bad things are happening because a lot of men can't meet the expectations that they think society has put on them. They are afraid to seem feminine or gay because they're afraid of the reaction around them, and maybe justifiably afraid considering the laws being enacted where they live.
There's 2-3+ groups of unpartnered people though.

- Wanted to be partnered - unsuccessful at finding that long-term partnership.

- People who didn't want to be partnered - and there's likely subgroups here:

- People who aren't desiring of much social contact at all.

- People who are highly social but not desiring that long-term romantic partnership, and have a lot of relationships of varying degrees of attachment throughout their lives and strong social ties to others - including close friendships.

------

Most literature I've seen on the "unmarried people die younger" doesn't really seem to look at anything beyond maybe splitting the never married | divorced | widowed groups.

It can be a true statement for that as a whole but not necessarily true for the "unmarried by choice with an extensive network of close friendships + social connections" group being suggested by the article and by most "learn to love being single" people.

They likely don't look a whole lot like the lives of the "unsuccessful at finding a partner" or "dislike social contact" groups.

------

To counter-argue myself though - the average number of close friends + social connections has been shrinking overall in the population. I don't know if it's great advice for the average person, since they're objectively doing worse at building those possible alternative connections than prior generations. And I'm not sure it's because they're too laser-focused on a partnership.
Lol. 95% of people out there don't understand what a neural net is. It's all a magic box.

In cutting edge research there's probably a few hundred people in the world and the rest of us are in for the ride.
I think this is a great point. There are a lot of items on my todo list that are super vague, and I never start on them because the next action isn't clear. However, it'd be useful to distinguish between these times, and when a task is acceptably vague (eg "take out the garbage"). I will try updating the prompts to take this into account.
Not sure what you're referring to with "the whole salt water thing". This is simply talking, talking with yourself, and learning how to recognize when your self conversation is not honest. Often simply the recognition of dishonesty in one's own self thoughts makes that line of reason evaporate with no additional effort. As far as lasting effect: what happens when you learn "a friend" is a constant liar? You simply stop believing them.
Many people have been conditioned to think they are unimportant and these companies would not waste time looking at their stuff. They may not understand the power of AI which can constantly scan, remember, and process the information of many people to provide distilled information and opportunities to its master. We are also easily manipulated into spending, speaking, and voting which this knowledge and processing power greatly improves. If you do not think you are easily manipulated, you are probably the most easily manipulated.
For one thing it's not being released until September. Also, they did so a lot of hands on demos of Meta Quest Pro when it came out some time ago.
The real revelation here is that people take this kind of Imaginary Internet Points seriously enough that there's a tool to algorithmically assess the quality of a project's GitHub stars[0].

Like: what?

Stars are basically the laziest possible way of doing anything with a repo besides looking at it. What possible signal of any value could anyone possibly hope to discern from a repo's star count? And yet not only is there an economy of counterfeit stars (flares? c.f. pieces of flair, which are equally meaningless. Also, the budget ones are ephemeral, just like a road flare), there are people who care so much about stars and flares that there's a whole 'nother economy behind discerning which are which.

Mind. Blown.

"compare the earnings of AAP today and ten years ago" didn't really return much.

Interesting idea though.
All for it.

LSD and other similar substances can offer an incredible insight to people who are equipped to handle it. Such substances create new pathways in your brain and increase neuroplasticity.

It's not the one-stop solution to everyone's problems and should NOT be treated as such (far from it!), but it does offer tremendous perspective and insight to those who know what they're getting into.
This is the top reason Android users switch to iPhone and it’s not blue bubbles
Are these things like subreddits?
I think for the problem space zig is trying to fit in, it's pretty essential to have custom allocator support thoroughly baked in.

It's the sort of thing that lets a data structure be used on both a gpu and cpu, allocation out of shared memory, or ensure that no dynamic allocations are happening at all.

Most programs don't have those concerns - so zig may not be the best choice for them. For the programs that do have those concerns, forethought about allocators is pretty important. Right tool for the job, and all that.
One of our most fundamental rights that wasn't written into any country's constitution that I know of. And in the US, privacy was basically built around the concerns of celebrities and businessmen.

Privacy for the general public has always been considered a danger, and wasn't even a concern for the courts until technological advances removed any limits on how much even uninteresting people can be surveilled, and how easily massive amounts of that data can be kept and algorithmically searched through. But even in the old days, the government would find time to go through your mail to see if you were getting any information about birth control, then arrest you for it.

I wonder how people can watch old spy movies now, where spies had to smuggle money to other spies, they communicated with tiny strips of microfilm surreptitiously dropped into trashcans, etc., if they think that in the past, people could communicate freely with each other and transfer money willy-nilly? The battle that snoops are involved in now is the same as always, except with extremely overpowered tools and access. This access will not be limited, and these tools will not be dropped, because these tools can be turned on any politician who seriously wants to do that.

The way they see it is the same way they saw the made-up "missile gap." They look at China, and its government powers over civil liberties, and see it as an arms race that they're losing. If you're anti-surveillance, they see you as holding back the West in comparison, and wonder why you would want the bad guys to have access to tools that the good guys don't have. So they not only want more surveillance, they want to use it to track the people who are against more surveillance.

This is another self-serving narrative that motivates western elites to exaggerate the capabilities and immorality of US enemies, just like the missile gap was.
Apple's strategy suddenly became clear to me while watching the Quest 3 promo video: they are delivering a platform, xrOS – an operating system – and not simply a high-spec VR headset.

The strength of the ecosystem will encourage it to be smoothly integrated into daily use, as opposed to being an awkward gaming device you pick up when you want to mess around in VR.

We'll see. Exciting times, the surprise announcement makes me optimistic for the quality of Apple's offering – Zuckerberg is worried.
Like non-fiat currency as well, in that way.
but things like google/amazon pushed the unskilled part onto the buyer. ordering online wasn't a thing before the internet, you needed make a call or go to a store.
I understood this level of fanboyism when I was twelve and looked forward to only one or two games a year. I don't understand how you can care that much about games in 2023 without also having a backlog big enough to occupy you until future releases.
> Have there been any good studies on programmer productivity?

Yes, but mostly from the companies developing these products:

* The CoPilot productivity study by Peng et al. that is summarized in a Blog post [1] with some additional details in the Arxiv preprint [2]. They find "developers who used GitHub Copilot completed the task significantly faster–55% faster than the developers who didn’t use GitHub Copilot". (Grep for "but speed is important, too" in [1].)

* Amazon's Q1 earnings report [3] includes a paragraph stating that "participants [using] CodeWhisperer completed tasks 57% faster (on average) and were 27% more likely to complete them successfully than those who didn’t use CodeWhisperer.

* I seem to remember seeing something on Replit's blog a while back with a similar number, but can't find it anymore, so maybe I'm mistaken.

These speed numbers are on specific and well-specified programming tasks, which is of course only one part of a developer's job, so there's a lot of opportunity for impactful research in this space. I suspect that the Empirical Software Engineering community will be awash in third-party empirical studies asking all sorts of more specific productivity questions by this time next year.

Customer service is a funny example because most of the issues are self inflicted. Take something like cancelling an order. Some websites do not allow you to do this via the website or touch tone. Sure you can use AI to figure out the request and cancel but it was unnecessary.

I’d be more curious to see the benefit vs good non AI UX
Yes, but also generate a spec with meaningful operationIds. “getLabels” is much more useful that “529ab782”.

My first problem with this idea (not necessarily this app) is that I don't know that I would want to hand over the control of my prompts to another service. I want to write my own prompts. I also want more control to give it wider context. Right now I'm using a couple of different AI add-ons for Obsidian for this.
I guess my wife and I have been lucky, as we each have the same charger, with no issues. Before that I had a Nomad wireless charger with a watch charger, and it worked well enough. I just wanted something that have full speed Magsafe charging, and was super portable. What did you switch to?
Privacy is important because of the power dynamic in society. If information were truly free and open, and we all had the same access to all private information and aggregation/analysis, maybe that kind of world would be best. But we don't, so privacy is a form of self-defense. Data gatherers are data hoarders and data abusers.

This is already shown to not be an issue in research from the past year. It is possible to synthesize high quality data that still provides benefit when subsequently trained on.

It makes sense when you remember that this is what organic intelligence was doing all along.

I've become sort of a generalist and am open to hearing about any opportunities but some things I'd be particularly suited for or interested in:

Roles where I can apply my mathematical experience. I've written two papers in random matrix theory. I don't expect most employers will be interested in the results themselves but I have strong linear algebra and probability fundamentals.

Full stack software engineer roles.

I'm also interested in trading. As a side project I traded just over a million dollars of volume last month and made a $400 profit.
When something can be treated as a score to compare with others, it will be. Everything else just follows.

Ride with GPS | Experienced Linux Systems Engineer | Within 2 hours of Portland OR | Full Time | https://ridewithgps.com/about

We are the world's largest library of bike routes, and we enable cyclists to go on better rides, more often. We have a website and mobile apps that allow people to discover the best riding in their area, and get turn by turn navigation using either our mobile apps or the bike computer of their choosing. Come join us in taking Ride with GPS to the next level! We have one opening right now:

- Linux Systems Engineer: https://ridewithgps.com/careers/systems_engineer - Work the full deployment stack, from hardware to containers. We are looking for an experienced engineer practiced in the deployment of Linux based machines and services on top of them. Honestly, I struggled with the right job title for this role - we run on a rack of machines that we own and we deploy services both directly on Linux as well as via containers. This is part SRE, part DevOps, part classic SysAdmin, with the occasional networking issue. We need someone who is within driving distance of our rack in Portland and who has experience working in a datacenter, but the majority of the job is in the deployment of services on those machines, not the machines themselves. Are you a jack of all trades, comfortable occasionally working with hardware, while being highly proficient in Linux and container based deployments? Maybe you are light on modern container orchestration but are highly capable and interested in learning? We'd love to talk to you!

Send resume + cover letter to careers@ridewithgps.com with an optional brief paragraph about your relationship to cycling or the outdoors. Riding bikes is absolutely not required, but we do find it helps!
Re the societal layer, it's not about the wannabe people though - there are real documented cases of how these big systems were trained, using deeply unethical practices (e.g. outsourcing processing of highly disturbing images to "ghost" workers in Kenya while paying them <$2/hour, by OpenAI). These have been studied by folks with PhDs in the field, so not something to be simply discounted (take a look at https://www.dair-institute.org/publications, for example).

Re reasoning, I'm more curious what you think of the non-statistical school of thought, e.g. the arguments against LLMs as "reasoning" engines, as popularized by Noam Chomsky and Gary Marcus.
Sorry, sometimes its just dumb. it works like this - https://stonks.news/gpt-share/4735/ozk

Not directly destroy money, no.

I bought the new HTC Vive XR Elite last month for just this use case. I had never tried VR before so I really didn't have a feel for whether it would work. It did not. There was so much glare and blurriness that I had to scale the font to huge headline size to read without strain. I returned the system. I'm more than willing to try again if there's a chance it might work.

In real life I do not have issues with motion sickness or claustrophobia. Both of these hit me when wearing the headset, particularly the claustrophobia. The nausea was mild but definite.

Even so it was an extraordinary experience, and I may be more excited about the potential of AR than before.
In most cases it doesn't start out that way. Either the relationship feels stronger than it really is because you haven't had many relationships in the past, or the relationship drifts apart over time as people grow, or some of both.

In my case I thought we had a lot of shared interests, but after a few years into the marriage my wife had decided that she really liked the idea of those things more than the reality, or that it was just a (nearly decade long) phase she was going through. We still get along well enough personality wise, but we can't find anything for us to do together. Our relationship feels more like good roommates than a marriage.

At the same time I can't really think of any good reason why we should end it. We don't fight hardly at all. Neither of us want kids, so that isn't an issue. AFIAK, I'm not craving another romantic relationship. If we were roommates, I wouldn't want to kick her out. So we just continue on with her being one friend among many.
I really wish mamavation would link the study they are citing... Did I just miss it?
