don't think you'll find anything explicit. but these big french contracting companies are very well known for their technical incompetence. they are not tech companies, their number one priority is to land lucrative contracts and keep renewing them and growing them, executing them or worrying about the quality of the end product is an afterthought.

the compensation in these companies is all the proof you need, most of the money is spent on 'business guys' and whole big ladder of them, projects on the technical side get staffed by who can accept the least pay regardless of skill. failed to get your diploma, great they can hire you for a big discount, have an art degree or anything else but know how to argue in a interview great you're hired.

they hire such people by the shovel everywhere. they are not the only company that does it almost all the big and smaller ones. here are some example of job offers that you can translate, and keep in mind that even is you don't meet almost any criteria they can still hire you if you accept a small enough price. I know a few of them in person.

- https://jobs.capgemini.com/fr-fr/job/Reconversion-Profession...

these a few example but search in indeed and other hiring webites and you'll find them spamming this kind of offers everywhere.

having a career as a tech guy in these companies is a dead end, and a recipe for depression.
On the other hand, as more law is written in code, the more easier any deviances or unlawful privileges could be detected - including when someone goes around the (open source) algo-based result. Maybe it's naive, but this could also lead to more transparency.
Look at Kotlin to see the opposite. It was designed to be IDE friendly - in fact, it was developed by the IntelliJ folks.

However, looking at it now, it seems that Kotlin is pretty much falling behind even Java in terms of features and functionality. But especially it also seems behind in a well-thought design.

When looking at Rust, I think while there are still a lot of features that I would desire, it at least introduced major improvements like typeclasses (or "traits" in Rust lingo) which really help the ecosystem and libraries to flourish. If this makes it harder for the compiler and the IDE then I think it's a fair tradeoff. Kotlin had the chance to do the same, they deliberately didn't and I is already starting to hinder the language from thriving.
I am not entirely sure about C#, if we speak about “static analysis based IDE” tooling. I think this only became focus with Roslyn, and Roslyn came later, after JetBrains did their own thing with resharper.

But yeah, directionally we are getting there: Microsoft seems to be the main popularizer of the idea (TypeScript and LSP), and Google seems to be most acutely aware about the “tooling gap” (Go, Dart, and, most recently, Carbon are cognizant of tooling needs. Carbon has signatures for tooling, and Dart shipped a better version of LSP before LSP became a thing).
That’s pretty clever.
Not quite readable on mobile.
Possible discussion around this blog post and whole premise of it is anyway byproduct and misleading. Without knowing, mentioning and thinking before CPU cores, about CPU vector instructions, how properly access memory cache layers and align data without cache misses, how to design data structures for this. Without all this and more, it is all just like to chase one's tail; to mill the wind; to plough the sand.
In Germany (eBay) Kleinanzeigen works rather well. People are still people, but at least the platform is good.
The massive carbon emissions campaigning seems to be this. Since generations of young and hard working people are being so heavily exploited that they can't afford things, blast out the message that they are saving the world from being doomed by not having a vehicle, not traveling, not having land, not eating quality food, and most importantly: not having children so that they aren't interrupted in their duties of paying taxes and profits.

It is completely free to convince people they are saving the planet by living less than others.
I disagree. The way I imagine LLMs is that we feed huge amounts of text to a ANN. This ANN doesn't have enough weights to just memorize these huge amounts. So it has to find meaningful abstractions from the texts to make the loss function small. Let's even ignore regularization for now.

For example, it will not memorize that all the instances in the context of earth fall on the ground. It will learn a the meaningful abstraction gravitation. From that it infers that objects should also fall on the ground.

This should be very easy to verify. Moreover, I have also seen some interesting examples of spacial reasoning in ChatGPT, which seems much more complicated than my example.

Edit: I think understanding and finding suitable abstractions is the same thing. That's what we do with children and students. They may try to memorize everything we teach them. But they should find abstractions and commonalities that are useful in more than one instance.
I think in popular parlance the terminology comes from the "What color is your function?" article[0]. The idea is that "normal" and async functions are different colors and they don't mix. When you call an async function from a normal one you make the normal one async, i.e. if it had no color it now takes on the color of the async one, etc.

Zig has a system where calling an async function is actually doable while still leaving the calling function non-async.

I would say you are missing the point. Intelligence isn't just about being able produce sentences. I would say that dogs are intelligent, but LLMs are not.
In the UK we have the electoral register. In order to vote, you need to be registered to it. The government most definitely does use it, as do credit scoring agencies and identitity verification services.

Excellent Article !! Infact this article helped me make a choice. To learn Go or Rust. Clearly, unless the project is very large or demands rewrite of the entire stack, then GO is the choice

All this rust to learn Rust seems more like a gold rush to me.

My experience with asynchronous programming is brief, but it taught me that you will never have elegant parallelism. It's a completely different problemset, you need a completely different solution to handle it. But the ideal API wants to treat the problems as one in the same.

So the two camps I've seen on solving it is either

a) blackbox it and set some rules for implementers, inevitably leaving to some hidden and very nasty bugs on the user end or bottlnecks for advanced users, or

b) give implementers the full tools to setup, launch, and synchronize themselves, which may end up being slower than a single threaded solution if the user isn't adept already with parallel programming.

You inevitably always have bits of a) creep in, even for the most explicit solutions
* No real ad-blocking plugins

* Under control of your employer (spying that you'll actually care about), more so than chrome, and a LOT more than firefox.

* Constant changes by the evil empire, never in the interest of the user, including the evil empire that you work for in the case of active directory

* Still (imho) doesn't match Google services and syncing in functionality and how well it works

* Same browser engine as Chrome, so no real advantage
I'd suggest taking a look at Morrowind Rebirth

All the alternatives seem to involved managing a plethora of mini-mods that hopefully work together.. it's really easy to install and it turns the game instantly from a drab/stale/dated look to something a lot busier and lively - at least at a surface level. Maybe it has some issues that I'm just not aware of - I never really got far in playing it

I'd be curious what other people thought of it. It seems to never be mentioned in lists and "hardcore" players seem to not like it for some reason
You make it sound like the OSS alternative to GitHub is something that offers the exact featureset you want, and includes the exact features that you are missing.

Given the chronic underfunding of OSS projects, this is an absurd take. Whether something is OSS or not doesn’t mean it will have more or less bugs, and it doesn’t mean it will have the set of features you do or do not want.

What it concretely means is that the development of said project can be more aligned with its primary community. But it doesn’t really mean anything for its users.

GitHub is insanely good and has been a massive boon for OSS. Anyone denying this is out of their mind and I will not take them seriously.

> Saying "but it's just a markov chain underneath, it's not intelligence" would be like discovering electric signals in the brain and concluding it can't be intelligence because it's just electricity.

What a terrible analogy. It would be like finding the brain is run by entirely random sampling processes and lacks any memory.
> What do you suggest that means? It seems to me that if high pay is a “license to humiliate” that means that highly-paid workers are due for extra humiliation.

Approximately everyone is aware that low-paid service and agricultural workers get -figuratively- shit on.

As someone who was not in the industry, I expected workers who were paid $120k, $250k, $500k, and more, per year to be treated as people who are highly knowledgeable in their field - to have their opinions carefully considered, and to be treated with respect. In short, to be treated as the Key Employees that their employment contracts often asserted (and their paychecks certainly suggested) that they are.

I was very surprised (and very disappointed) when I discovered that there are managers and businessmen who have opinions that can be roughly summed up as "I'm paying you a lot of money, so you work on whatever I say, do the work however I say to do it, and you take whatever shit I dish out without complaining. You are -after all- taking a _ton_ of my (or our company's) money, so you have no room to complain."

I think Deng Xiaoping is a direct result of these developments during the Mao years.

Things would have been very different for China, without the rapprochement with the west. Without friendly terms with the west they would have to maintain an enormously big army.

Think of a China today that is more like North Korea.

No, because known accessible reserves are sufficient for at most 2 hundred years with the current fleet of reactors ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uranium_mining#Peak_uranium ) , which produces approx 4.3% of the (worldwide) primary energy, and therefore at most 2% of the final energy.

In other words replacing fossil fuels with nuclear implies at the very least 10x the existing fleet, and known uranium reserves will then provide for 200/10 years, that is to say approx 20 years: investors will not be thrilled by this perspective!

Betting on new (now unknown) reserves isn't sound because an uranium bubble which peaked in 2007 triggered massive surveying... producing meager (15%) results. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uranium_bubble_of_2007

AFAIK CANDU never industrially burnt thorium, please source (yes, it is in theory possible).
CANDU is a dead-end, there is absolutely no project nor R&D towards it. Even Canada, which established and adopted it, now only tries to build non-CANDU reactors. Where is the company or even startup pushing CANDU, I don't know of any?
5 nations are CANDU users, not a single one builds more of it. It is not bad at all, but there are many criteria and it simply, right now, doesn't check the right cases.
There is oil in Sakhalin Island, new pipelines are planned and existing railways are fully capable to transport enough oil to sustain military campaign if China curtains civilian oil consumption (like every country at war did in WW2).

Better to have the rules and sometimes find very compelling reasons to break them, than to never have the rules at all. The rules raise the activation energy. A rule against murder may be overridden when presented with an extreme circumstance, but utilitarianism without such a rule at all will permit (or even require) murder for very marginal theoretical gain. Under such systems you have the government going around murdering farmers so their property can be collectivized for the greater good, and then millions of people starve to death which was never factored into the equation but oops, too late now. Better to live in a society which generally respects deontological principles (and sometimes breaks them) than to live in a utilitarian society with no such compunctions.
Some religions are teleological (they have purpose mapped out) and you just have to have faith or commit some actions. Others give you some necessary but insufficient tools, because the truths they want to express to you are somewhat ineffable.

It's very possible your social circle is not on XMPP though. There's some light at the end of the tunnel with the EU's Digital Markets Act forcing the large messaging providers to provide interoperability - at a minimum this should enable better bridges between XMPP-based and proprietary systems.

I once worked at a small company in Florida where there were "offices" but the office manager would talk on speaker phone from his office at the top of his lungs all day. I had the headphones on and the only way I could drown him out was to blast music at high volume, or to take my laptop out into the hallway and hunker down, or to invent reasons why I needed to work at home so I could work without those all-day interruptions. The office manager got shirty about that, since they rented me a parking space in an old bank branch about four blocks away from the office; told me I took "a lot of liberties". I got a strong "because I said so!" vibe from that, and I bounced not too long after.

> arguably proportionate by income.

That source demonstrates that it’s definitely not proportionate by income.

> the top 1 percent paid 42.3 percent of the total federal income tax in 2020 while receiving 22.2 percent of total adjusted gross income

We have a progressive taxation system on income (for good reason), which causes the high-income to pay far more than their proportional share of income.

Some will argue that they should be paying an even more disproportionate amount, which is fine and we can have that discussion, but it is an absolutely truthful claim that they are already paying a higher than proportionate share now.
> Every single one of these items is cheap enough to buy in bulk whenever I want them.

I apply something like this to most of my purchases. If I am buying a new phone or some computer hardware, I want to be able to fit another replacement for what I'm about to buy into whatever my budget is. The same goes for clothes, tools for the garden like a tiller or a chainsaw or whatever.

And you know what? It's a decent approach: I have a used Ryzen 5 1600 in my computer now (upgraded from Ryzen 3 1200), as well as an RX 570 (and a spare RX 580 for similar price, bought recently as new old stock), because under that reasoning that's all I can afford, yet it's all that I realistically need. Some spare HDDs (those die more than most other hardware) and a mobo and everything in the shelf next to it. If any one of those parts die like they have in the past, I don't have to cry about how expensive replacing everything will be, nor wait for shipping, just spend 30 minutes swapping out parts.

As for longevity of various items: I don't quite buy it. Sure, there are also people with Stihl chainsaws that have lasted them decades, but why would I spend 5-10x more money, when I can get a new Chinese chainsaw for about 100 EUR that will be enough for all of my casual usage needs around the farm? And once it inevitably stops being useful, I can get a completely new one without a worn engine, while still having some spare parts for repairs. I can think of very few items where I'd want the latest or greatest, even my daily driver phone isn't top of the line and only stands out because of IP 68 and being shock proof (up to a degree, dropped it out of my pocket and on concrete while doing pull ups, didn't even crack the screen).

Perhaps the only exception to this is something like services: dental care and other healthcare procedures, no reason to go cheap on either of those, but then again, I live in Europe so that's not a very contested subject for me due to the overall affordability. Still pondering these thoughts in regards to food, but store brand food is generally both affordable and reasonably healthy over here.
