If you haven't I recommend having a look. If found it amazing for maintainability.

At a high level, Very simple:

1) find people who will give you their hard earned money to invest.
2) invest said money in startups

Now remember simple doesn’t mean easy. Also in this case it “not easy” also doesn’t mean meritocratic either.

For eg.

1) nobody will give you their money (at least the first time) unless you can signal successfully you are capable of convincing them that you can do a great job at investing their money and potentially giving back a great return. This is similar to judging startups ideas and their founders in their early stages. There is nothing to judge so early, so people (typically) use the founders education institutions as a proxy. If you have something different that you can use to signal and that is a generally acceptable proxy that works too. Until you have a good exit you will need to win the signaling game. Just like repeat founders once you have once success this becomes your new signal replacing the old one. Repeat founders are easier to back than virgin founders.

Look at existing VCs in their early careers and you will see a pattern - either they were already known due to domain expertise (eg: Marc Andreessen etc ) or unknown till first success and then blew up (eg chris sacca etc). I am sure the latter did have to “work hard” until they had their first success.

It’s a lot of posturing in a sea of real and wannabe intellectuals. Sometime the posturing is supported by substance sometimes it’s not and in those cases you fake it till you make it.
There's something just morally wrong about wanting to exist in an endgame society that decides its best to give zero credit to creators of ideas.

I refuse that and actually would go to war over it.

Because without that, you just reward war-like tactics in business, thievery, deception, etc, until nobody wants to create ideas anymore, and thinkers are selected out of the gene pool until we're a hive of drones sucking the toes of our queen bee influencers.
My NAS is in an ATX mid case (Antec 900 that I've had for 15+ years) with a used xeon e3, 32 GB of RAM, and 40TB of storage in a zfs mirror. Running TrueNAS with MinIO, Postgres, and MariaDB in containers.

Compute is more sleek. I have an AsRock DeskMeet with an i5 12400, GTX 1650 super, 32GB of RAM, and a 1TB m.2. Running around 25 containers and not even having to work hard. The GPU handles transcodes for both Plex and Jellyfin, and most volumes are NFS shares from the NAS.

This iteration of hardware has been running since early this year and it's very performant and quiet. I took out all the fans but the 200mm exhaust in the NAS and can only hear the DeskMeet when the CPU fan really kicks up.
I think LLMs are wonderful study aids and can bridge gaps in understanding by providing collaborative discovery with a “copilot,” but absolutely, if you cheat off of it, things catch up quickly. First, the sort of stuff ChatGPT can do out of the box is introductory course material. More advanced material requires a deep semantic understanding of the domain. Even if you use ChatGPT to produce boilerplate and syntax, or ask it for semantic advice, it won’t solve the crucial nuggets for you. Second, there is always a “test” component where you are required to remember what you learned impromptu without aids. Third, a lot of cs programs require collaborative work in projects. It’ll become very obvious who doesn’t know anything. Finally, even if you manage to graduate cheating through the entire program, when you interview for work, it’ll be transparent you learned nothing. A degree is an end, it’s a means to an end - be it research of industry, and experts will always be able to sniff out dilettantes.
“git pull” over SSH and have your system RCEd? I’d say it levels above “neat”.
> then translate those into more concrete specifications.

Yes and that's what code is: most concrete specifications :P

Figuring out what to code is much harder than coding it, like 99.99% of the time.

People worrying about ChatGPT taking away their job frankly do not understand this: my job is to think. I type very little code.
My messages from discover say they will not call me and ask for the code but they will ask if you call them.
I go to ChatGPT sometimes when I'm really banging my head against a wall and Copilot fails to generate anything useful to even get me moving in the right direction, which is rare. I've hit it up probably let's guess 3-4 times in the last 2 or 3 months. Probably 2 of those times it was anti-useful, because the garbage it put out only wasted my time.
For the same reason any racial supremacy stereotype is tattoo: because it's toxic, not because it's valid.
I will always remember when the "Takedown" movie came out. I loved the original "Hackers" and couldn't wait for "Hackers 2" which was Takedown.

I had learned about Mitnick few years prior to the movie and was fascinated by his life story and what he had done up to that point (including his "takedown" by the FBI). It's an understatement to say that his work, character and some sort of positive social manipulation put a great influence on my upbringing and later my professional career. Back then I enjoyed playing pranks with my friends and "hacking" them with all sorts of trojans and ejecting their CD roms :)

I am very sad to hear that he's gone. RIP Legend.
So the reason that gas, in LA area at least, have different prices for cash and card (typically ~$0.25/gal more for card) is not because of additional risk for the gas station, but just classic US exorbitant fees?

Which is why gambling has traditionally been heavily regulated. Where gaming gets too close to gambling and causes similar harms, it's worth seriously considering limiting that harm through regulation.
It's funny, though I didn't really know him I did have two chance interactions 15 or so years back that are in a way core lessons for me about business.

Back when he started doing consulting I ended up spending some hours on the phone with him over a week or so as an evenings/weekends side project (I had a more than full time job too). He seemed like a nice enough dude, basically a middle aged guy trying to put his life back together, and he was understandably not up to speed on web app security due to his recent stint in prison. I don't think that business ever panned out but he eventually pivoted and built a multi-billion dollar company around the concept he was known for (social engineering).

The second is embedded in his somewhat famous lock pick business card. It turns out those cards are a direct copy of a friend's card, conceived by me, designed by a second friend, and inspired by a third friend who'd discovered the shop that did etched steel cards. Kevin's card traded in usability by shortening the tools to make more space for contact information. Regardless, his ability to capture the spotlight helped ensure his version is by far the best known.

RIP.

A much more interesting consideration would be "Teaching Programming in the Age of Stack Overflow", which involves a well-established, gigantic resource for in-the-trenches programmers that generally provides functional, peer-reviewed and expansively commented solutions to the most common and sometimes most interesting problems.

What programming will be like in an age where LLM's can correctly code is something we won't have any idea about for some time yet (if ever).
I guess? I mean sure the problem space can be a bit complicated, but I never had trouble using it either. Nobody @ $WORK has had issues either. shrugs

about sample, i thought it was hacktivists recorded protest on television but 'this is digital hijack' doesn't fit into it.

search leads to etoy project https://etoy.com/projects/hijack/

and to book: Contemporary art - an introduction, page 129 (google books/search);
"Artists have inhabited online space alongside corporations that made concerted efforts to force the change from forum to mall. That commercial colonisation has been a rich subject for net artists who have produced many sharp and sophisticated pieces designed to draw the shopper up short. One of the most notorious was etoy’s Digital Hijack which diverted surfers who had typed in keywords such as ‘Madonna’, ‘Porsche’ and ‘Penthouse’ into a search engine, and clicked on etoys’ top-rated site, being greeted by the response: ‘Don’t fucking move. This is a digital hijack’, followed by the loading of an audio file about the plight of imprisoned hacker Kevin Mitnick, and the hijacking of the Internet by Netscape (Stallabrass, 2002: 226). Mitnick became a cause celebre for the hacking community, and for those wishing to ensure freedom of expression on the net generally. "

this part is interesting: "followed by the loading of an audio file about the plight of imprisoned hacker Kevin Mitnick" hot!

after quick exploring hijack.org it seams that sold very cheap flexi record with song titled "the digitalhijack-song" but website doesn't have any audio files to check.

Some human exploits can be patched, at least partially. 2FA with hardware authentication helps prevent people from leaking their own passwords and such. Phishing detectors help. Etc.

I'm nostalgic about the first public version of GPT-4. It did have some sparks of AGI. The interface was very ergonomic because it assumed correctly many things about the user's request and intentions. Now I find I have to write very long prompts and explanations to steer it correctly, as if training a brand new employee. It's really tiring. And I'm not even talking about the accuracy of the responses.

It's sad, but I understand why they did it. It was too much power in the hands of people.
This is only a small part of Target's loss prevention operation. Target is known for being both aggressive and sneaky about loss prevention. They use cameras and face recognition extensively, and they have an in-house forensic lab that can process fingerprints. Sometimes they will let a shoplifter get away with stealing for a while, until the total passes the felony threshold. Then they have them arrested. Sometimes followed, because they want to know where the stolen goods are going and catch the fence.[1]

If they find a skimmer, they will probably go back over the video until they find who put it there. Former Target security guard: "All cameras are functional and can look in any direction. Many are 4K and can zoom."

As a daily Salesforce user for a decade I'm happy to rant about everything salesforce does wrong from an admin and end user perspective.
Lots of new projects involve shitting out a massive amount of code though. I've certainly worked on stuff where I had precise clarity on what needed to be done and typing speed was practically the limiter. But for some other things it wasn't.

I dunno. I go back and forth on the effects these things will have on programming.

Bik is a wonderful resource in science in general. She also runs the Microbiome Digest https://microbiomedigest.com that probably the majority of scientists working on the microbiome use to keep current in our field.
"Writing this up"? It's likely true that Dr. Bik got the ball running (I believe she had posted about the anomalous figures months/years in the past), but there's a big difference between noticing fraudulent signs in published research, versus pursuing that lead into an investigation that attempts to identify the actual decision makers.

Marc Tessier-Lavigne said all along that the bad/faked data was the work of other sloppy/bad actors. It was only through the reporting from Theo Baker and his colleagues that the public learned of MTL's negligence and culpability.

1. Yes, but I never found it limiting. If I need to write some complex logic I mostly do it on the C++ side (that's should probably be the best way anyway).

2. True.

3. Yes, Qt Creator is very lacking in that department. There are many instances where it doesn't recognize certain commands and you need to guess if you're writing correctly or not.

4. Live reloading is possible in QML. See[1] (But this should definitely be the default in Qt Creator).

5. I agree that QML documentation is lacking. That's probably my biggest pain point. Some of the examples also use deprecated/bad-practice code which is annoying (eg, using that magic `index` property rather than defining it as a required property.

I think you have fair points. I actually have a doc with similar things that QML needs to improve in. I never tried Svelte but I'm familiar with React, and I must say that Qt/QML is a breath of fresh air after using React. Developing in React always felt hacky like using duct tape and glue compared to building something properly which QML/QT feels like.

Apart from the points above, I still think QML has been great for my productivity and I'm impressed how easy it is to develop with it complex UIs easily. I've been developing a feature in my Qt C++ app in QML that turns Markdown tasks into Kanban[2]. It worked out perfectly. The tasks processing is done in C++ which sends the data to QML.

I have used it for different languages, and native speakers could not tell that it was written by a non-native or an AI.

Pretty sure I would recognize this sentence as fishy because no one would use non-native like that.

But this probably would indeed be helpful and seemingly valid to use this to improve papers. Although it did alright on this one sentence, I'd still be worried that it would change the meaning of something somewhere that a less fluent speaker wouldn't notice.

My homelab has

1) a NAS/Server with 10700 + 12 TB HDD x 15 forming a ZFS, with 128GB of RAM.

2) A pair of machine learning servers, each of them with a threadripper 3955wx, 256GB RAM and two 4090s

3) A more powerful machine learning server, with a threadripper 5975wx, 512GB RAM and two 4090s.

All of them run NixOS. They are mainly used to serve a bunch of services: hydra/nix binary cache, shiori, grafana/prometheus, paperless, syncthing, filerun, assistant etc. And also training jobs all the time.

I would highly recommend NixOS to run on your servers for the services.

First I’ve heard they are scientologists. Although I’m not a shoot the messenger type.
I have no idea what the "age of chatgpt" is supposed to be, it changes nothing in regards to cheating. What my uni professor told us when I did my CS degree was. "You're not in kindergarten, if you want to copy your exercises you can copy them, but you have to do the exam at the end of the semester by hand without assistance and if you don't understand the exercises and do them yourself you're screwed". It's not like profs even bother to invent entirely new exercises every year so you could always just go through old course notes if you really wanted it easy.

Doesn't matter if people Google, Stackoverflow, use ChatGpt, ask their wizkid neighbor or what have you. You don't need to resist cheaters, especially not when we're talking about adults, it's their responsibility. Cheaters don't learn so when they're tested they sooner or later flunk out.
So your critique of Snowden being a patsy is: I (the person saying it) am like a robot from some cartoon that sees everything conspiratorially just to win arguments, is that right?

Doesn't it sound like you're being too negative? It does seem more like you're trying to 'win arguments' by calling anything besides an official take a conspiracy theory, and disparaging anyone who says such, so nothing else can be said, right?

> If someone moves to an entirely new country, it's likely less intimidating to find an environment that's similar to home

Yes, but also less likely they will leave that environment as well.

> I find it interesting that you leave religion out of here, even though there's a nontrivial correlation

I just never saw religion as a matter of culture to begin with, although culture is affected by as it affects it, but I do agree that a culture should not be restricted to a religion, I also don't know any religion that doesn't welcome others, but it is silly to expect a pre-existing religion to change to adapt to someone's culture because then it would just be a "make it up as you go" club. I disagree with the antisemetism association because Jewish people in hollywood assimilate there, same with new york, germany,etc... to the most part but then again not always. There are hardly any situations that are not religious where you could even tell apart if a person is jewish or not without their name. Jewish tradition in my view is firmly a matter of religion not culture. However, I don't support "secular" jews that reject their faith but keep their tradition for the sake of segregation. Keep in mind, anyone can convert to judaism and become a jew.

> mixed were 18 inches apart, unlabeled, used the exact same connector.

They were labeled.

Same connector - Standardized connectors are safer. Every chemical can't have a different connecter. If the truck swaps connectors in and out per location you are mostly back to square one.

The connectors were locked, that's the differential they choose. Except one wasn't, which is the same issue as the truck swapping connectors. It shouldn't have been possible to have two connectors unlocked at once.

> were locked behind the same gate.

Multiple gates creates other issues.

> 18 inches apart

This the problem, multiple gates a distance apart are an issue, but probably the solution. It also allows clear signage on the gate rather than than the 7 characters you can see on the connector label. I count 5 - 7 connections, they can't all be behind a gate, so there is no hard rule.

> compound gate thing

They actually want a 'written' policy to stop people coming in. People ram raid gates to get into compounds so they can't be flimsy. In an emergency power could be out and you can be in a car or running while on fire.
