I am reminded of a story from Alan Kay, who said that an English woman told him, “Americans have the best high school education in the world. It’s a shame they have to go to university to get it.”

I could’ve benefited from a more rigorous education that taught me how to study for mastery. As someone who was considered “gifted” in elementary school who skipped middle school, had a 4.0 GPA in high school, and started university at 16, I’m sorry to say that I didn’t truly learn how to study until graduate school, where doing research requires absolute mastery of the topic being researched. I was never challenged in high school or even at the community college courses I took as a high school student. I was challenged during my undergrad years at Cal Poly and started earning grades I’ve never seen before (the only grade below an A- I earned before Cal Poly was a B+ I earned in sixth grade for math, which saddened me and instilled a dislike for the subject until high school when I had some wonderful math teachers). But I chalked this up not to my study habits, but due to the higher standard of education at the school. I was able to eke by with a > 3.0 GPA that was good enough for admission to a PhD program, but I was unprepared for the even tougher level of rigor, and then family drama pulled the rug under me..., but I digress.

I have no regrets; I have a good job and I know how to learn things much more efficiently than during my student days. But I wish I learned how to truly study during my childhood instead of coasting on my good memory; I’d probably be further in my career had I learned this much earlier.

Lately I have been working on open maps/db for small/independent political campaigns. I also have been working on automating stuff at my current job for fun (templating, data reuse, quality improvement). I have also built a small personal database for scraping baseball card prices, along with pictures, from eBay and storing all this data (and which card the person has) in a sqlite db. I mostly do this as a hobby, but would like to switch over to programming as I feel like I can do more good, enjoy it more, and feel like there is more opportunities than my current industry. I also have a keen interest in economics and cybernetics/Operations Research. If you have any questions feel free to message me.
Female problems? Are you serious, that is a pretty negative way to describe health issues that might apply only to women. Why would you put it that way, it's just kind of dismissive.
Why do we need to sacrifice living standards to control emissions?
Being good also has the facade of luck, every venture is a gamble none of which are guaranteed, but putting yourself in the most optimal positions (including diversifying) will result in some successes and some failures. You don’t end up with a $1t valuation based purely on luck.
With all due respect this is quite literally the level of stuff covered in an undergrad EE architecture course and is covered in an elementary text like Patterson and Hennessy.
There are at least two bands named Disaster Area. One 90s Skate Punk band from Berlin, Earth, and the famous one from the Gagrakacka Mind Zones, an unpopular and unpopulated region around 400 light years from the Soulianis/Rahm system in direction Betelgeuse.
It's not alarmism to say we should take action to prevent out extinction. By your logic, people who call emergency services when a building is on fire are "alarmists".

There has literally NEVER been a problem anywhere near as large as climate change, including World War 2. If being concerned about literally the largest problem to have ever existed is 'alarmism', then your position is simply that it's impossible for anything bad to ever happen.
Fall of Civilizations podcast is good

This to me is why I don't use ChatGPT. Every time I use it I get answers that are questionable in validity. I'd say that 3/4 of my questions have returned incorrect answers at least partially. Maybe 10% are wildly incorrect with the remainder being partially incorrect.

So if it is wrong with MOST of the questions that I am able to validate myself, then how can I trust it on the questions that I am unable to validate myself.

The whole reason I started even doing this passive research is because I had an employee late last year who used to be a decent employee (he was never an all-star, but he got the job done to an average/satisfactory level), and started to all of a sudden perform incredibly poorly.

He was submitting code and solving problems that were just really bad. He was always just an average producer, and was always teetering on the edge during performance reviews, doing just well enough that we kept him around. But he quickly started to make mistake after mistake. Several code reviews I found really strange artifacts and comments in his code that were blatant mistakes. I confronted him about them over the course of several performance reviews and said he blamed stackoverflow "copy pasta". Eventually I actually fired him, since it was getting to a point that almost everything he submitted or produced was problematic in some way and he was burning more of my time than he was saving. So I ended up firing him.

While firing him, in front of HR he finally broke down and admitted that he has been using ChatGPT for everything and he begged us to let him stay and he would stop using it altogether. I of course didn't care at that point and we let him go. But I started to realize the increase of mistakes were all due to ChatGPT leading him astray.

That whole experiment really taught me that ChatGPT is not ready for primetime. If you blindly trusted ChatGPT you will find yourself in the wrong place most of the time. The problem is that unless you already know the answer to the question you are asking, it is very difficult to tell where chatgpt's answers might be correct and were they might be incorrect (because it is usually a mixture of both). This makes it entirely useless for asking questions that you are not comfortable validating.
Python does threading fine than most languges. Not every language supports native threading.
For corporations, just staying alive that long without a huge hit is very lucky. Look how many other chip companies failed or were acquired cheaply during that period.
It wasn’t the donations. I bought a GTX 580 back then to train DNNs for speech recognition. There simply were no other reasonable options around.
If OP asked which cliff he should jump off, will you point to one? GUIs are written on top of DB APIs - in many cases, the same ones you can use. You can do anything with these tools. Given a DB viewing program, you are always experiencing someone else using these APIs for you. There will always be some feature you need. For many types of applications, there are no other choices except the GUI, but DBs are programmer tools, and they work brilliantly without gold-plated rigmarole.
Lol, eerily similar experience, late 80s in eastern Europe. My dad had a 286 for work. I saw him start t a weird version of space invaders in possibly COBOL of all places. So when he was at work I had to figure out how to navigate to right folder, load up what I guess must've been like an online interpreter environment, load up the program, and execute it. But oh the satisfaction! The pride! The feeling of conquering the machine and puzzle! Following that I was on space quest rails more than king quest but what an experience - even if it were on black and white Hercules graphics. Being in east Europe all games were pirated. No manual, no details, foreign language. Playing mean streets without knowing the coordinates for places. And eventually spending first hour of dune 2 terrified of my trike falling off the island into the space chasm... Which turned out to be fog of war not a hole :)

Good innocent exciting times!

Where are all the generative AI job postings?
I recently got my hands on a massive data set of data science job postings, and almost none of them mention skills related to generative AI. I was a bit shocked and am hunting for explanations.
Thank you. Is that even normal/new norm? Back then when we released OS-native (read windows) code, we had to deploy without debug (assuming bitcode = debug) symbols.
I'm going to play devil's advocate and state that a lot of what you mentioned will be relevant to a tiny part of the world that has the means to enforce this. The law will be forced to change as a response to AI. Many debates will be had. Many crap laws will be made by people grasping at straws but it's too late. Putting red tape around this technology puts that nation at a technological disadvantage. I would go as far as labeling a national security threat.

I'm calling it now. Based on what I see today. Europe will position itself as a leader in AI legislation, and its economy will give way to the nations that want to enter the race and grab a chunk of the new economy.

It's a Catch 22. You either gimp your own technological progress, or start a war with a nation that does not. Pretty sure Russia and China don't really care about the ethics behind it. There are plenty of nations capable enough in the same boat.

Now what? OK, so in some hypothetical future China has an uncensored model with free reign over the internet. The US and Europe has banned this. What's stopping anyone from running the Chinese model? There isn't enough money in the world to enforce software laws.

How long have they tried to take down The Pirate Bay? Pretty much every permutation of every software that's ever been banned can be found and ran with impunity if you have the technical knowledge to do so. No law exists that can prevent that.

If it did, OpenAI wouldn't exist.
The Maya civilization was mostly destroyed by the Spanish conquest. That’s the level of existential threat climate poses to use.
Most places in the US at least have two ISPs at most so it would probably not pan out so well if they tried to do that
Neat idea. I had this page saved because I wanted to try it later.

If it wasn't for this thread I probably wouldn't have gotten past step 3. However, I have no clue how to move past step 4. I get the HINT we need to make a request, but I can't figure it out based on the instruction on the page. The page I tried is a 404. I'm not sure what <code> blocks are trying to convey, it's not clear to me. It would be fun to try to get to step 20, but if the clues get more vague at each step, there's no way I'll make it to the end.
Net margins being what they are for US domestic airlines (single-digit percentage on average), the additional resilience will most likely be reflected in higher prices for the consumer. Of course, that may be worth the tradeoff.

Car drivers already depend on road maintenance, emergency services, city planning, etc.

If you think owning a car makes you less dependent, I've got a bridge to sell you. Between gas, insurance, oil changes, brake and strut replacement, tires, and various fluids, you are arguably MORE dependent with a car than without one. And that's not counting the dependence on other drivers not acting the fool with several tons at high speeds.

"Independence" due to car ownership is a sales tactic, not a real thing. Folks in New York City aren't inherently more "dependent" than you are for their transportation needs.
When you say AMD is extremely popular still, yet Nvidia has what like 82-84% market share.. what are we actually talking about here in the context of "market talks"?
Why should a social media app have access to the health data stored inside your phone? Why should we not be demanding laws to make this illegal?
As long as sanctions and ransomware exist, I don’t think it will ever fully die. But I don’t think the price will ever hit an ATH again without SBF, tether, and their co-conspirators pumping the price by printing stablecoins out of thin air.

Pretty much everyone has heard of crypto by now. The Ponzi scheme is out of marks. There will be no next time. Sell now if you’re still holding the bag.
They probably have lessons from US hospitals and insurances in how to wear down people who complain.
Intel from what I can tell has better hardware than AMD, but they have even worse software than AMD.

It's really just Nvidia firmly winning the entire market the good old fashioned way. Those who can compete still can't hold a candle, and the market at large is content to keep buying Nvidia because their stuff is simply That Fucking Good(tm).

It's Nvidia's market to lose, and they clearly aren't losing any time soon.
30+ years of experience here, working at all levels from coding to VP of development to CEO of a successful software company:

I completely disagree.

Writing maintainable, bug free, performant code is HARD. And very few developers know how to do it well. A single GOOD developer will consistently outperform a 5+ team of “average” developers.
I think this is exactly right. Function names actually fulfil the role of documentation really well. I personally tend to make them long and quite verbose, like

`def start_the_car_and_accelerate`
Yeah, I think it's time to bite the bullet and move to Debian.
That is not why we would need such a thing. It's not necessary or sufficient to prevent terrified people living in perpetual fear of things politicians and experts tell them to be afraid of.

Rational and level headed efforts to tackle problems like climate change would be welcome. A great first step would be to vote out all politicians who use it for political games by riling up panic and then actually doing very little about it.
The numbers for the MIT living wage calculator are completely wrong for most PhD students. For one, they include thing like social security taxes, which students do not pay. They overestimate medical costs, because most PhD students are young and will not have health complications that drive costs. The rent estimate is based on single-occupancy units, which doesn't make sense because most live with roommates (https://livingwage.mit.edu/resources/Living-Wage-Users-Guide...). Students often qualify for benefits that are not included in the estimate.

It's a popular number to use, but is often quite an overestimate.
Yeah, but I did ask for GUIs for a reason. Other commenter understood the assignment.

Your head on the sand denialism would be kind of cute in a dumb way if it wasn’t so dangerously wrong & harmful.

Taking down a website by sending men with guns is a much worse look for them than an unpopular site succumbing to ddos attacks.
I agree that you don't have to be compelled to assist someone in sinning, and in there is where I think the nuance of these decisions come in. It would be one thing if someone was being forced to help physically harm someone, help murder, help steal, etc. I'm not sure that being a drug addict falls into that category, but I digress.

In this case, I do not think this web designer would be helping anyone sin, honestly they are probably just providing a template and some theme, copy would be basically immaterial.

Then comes the more theoretical aspect, which is how do I know I'm helping someone sin by helping gay people get married? The Pope says it's not for us to judge, and I agree. So what I'm saying is that reasonable people can disagree on this being an infringement of religious rights, and that is essentially what I was trying to talk about.

I am a Marine, I went to war, I did things I can't take back or be forgiven for in the literal Old Testament version of things, but Jesus said, basically, forget all that old fire and wrath, you're forgiven if you ask for it. I try to treat everyone as most people treat me, which is to say not to throw stones at me as I walk down the street, or whatever the equivalent is in our time. That's my personal philosophy, and I think makes for much more interesting discussion about this. Do you see where I'm coming from?
You’ll never make them understand. They’ve made being a contrary fool who distrusts experts a core, emotional, part of their personality

Of course you have a recourse. You can choose not to use the service.

Unfortunately most people aren't willing to pay for websites and so the only successful model ends up being advertising driven.

This summarizes it well. Sometimes you run into apps that don’t ship Docker containers because they expect to not be behind a reverse proxy. For example, while there are third party Docker containers for the Unifi controller, they only support using their apt repos. The controller expects to be able to send low-level discovery packets and not just HTTP. Lxd makes that really easy.

Also, from a development standpoint sometimes a long-lived container environment is easier. I run zigbee2mqtt inside of lxd because if I want to try a PR, it’s `git checkout … && npm ci` and not building a whole container each time.

For the home NAS and server case, I’ve been really happy with Ubuntu server with zfs + lxd + docker. And, a lxd VM for Home Assistant OS. Basically, the right tool for each job and no worries trying to force software into an environment their developers don’t expect.
Which social media app has access to your phone's storage of health data? Certainly not the one that's the subject of this post.

Strava, a social media app for exercise, has selective access to "health" data about exercise stored on the phone, but that's the closest I can think of.
I'd love to follow along with this series, but I'm on MacOS (OpenGL is deprecated for us). Any alternatives?

I have no experience in graphics programming.
And fortunately I'm allowed to disagree with and criticize that determination. Or is your position that courts never make mistakes?

You and me both, but we’re not the audience for pfSense.
About 1 in 8 of my AA flights comes with, “When you reach the gate please say your last name and seat number, our terminal isn’t scanning right now”
Their consumer stuff barely competes with itself. They can only get away with that because nobody is interested in that market. I’d also say current AI hype is hard to tell from a grift now - my team is doing some useless crap because CEO basically has tech FOMO. It’s so uncalled for and I’m only guessing not uncommon.
Hm, I don't see the similarity then. The Spanish were deliberate and malicious. Climate change is a consequence of our own actions, although the accounting needs work.
Those kinds of text interfaces for games would be a perfect use for the kind of AI we have right now. It drove me nuts when I'd try 10 versions of the same thing to find whatever noun or verb the programmer thought I should be using. They were also unforgiving when it came to bad spelling which didn't help.

I was grateful for the move to point and click adventure games. Pixel hunting was honestly less frustrating.
If denialists had anything other than irrational arguments & mischaracterizations they wouldn’t be denialists.
MH had a truly awful year that year, but it's hard to blame them for MH370 and certainly not for MH17. Besides that, I think their track record is on the better side among global airlines.
I’m not sure if it’s okay to plug my project, but I work on Mathesar (https://github.com/centerofci/mathesar) which can be used as a Postgres GUI. We’re putting a lot of product/design effort into making it nice to use for non technical users.

Otherwise, I just use the command line.
That’s their newest mid-tier consumer card. On the data-center side they can’t make H100s fast enough, all the AI startups are clamoring for them. You also won’t see any reviews like that for the 4090; the only complaint I’ve seen there is that it’s hard to take advantage of it if your’re just gaming (but it’s still great for CUDA development).
To be fair to AWS, their documentation has improved dramatically the past 24 months or so. Not perfect, but the difference between 2019 and 2023 is dramatic.

Also, I'd argue that it is very easy to be worse than AWS's own docs. A chatbot that hallucinates inaccurate answers, while sounding plausible and confident is far worse than documentation that is 100% accurate, but lacking in some areas.

I'd rather receive an answer of "I don't know" or "it isn't documented" than an explanation that seems legit, so I spend 15 hours building a solution in accordance to a LLM's response and then find out that its not possible or real the way it was explained by the LLM.

You actually can't deactivate your Instagram account. The deactivation feature doesn't do anything; they automatically reactivate your account immediately when you try to use it. It's fake.
