Sure. I really did not mean that specifically for Prosecraft. But the article questions why authors are attacking Prosecraft "because it does no harm". My answer is that authors don't (and can't, really) make the difference in a per-case basis.

At this point what they see is that LLMs trained on their copyrighted material are able to generate similar material thanks to their copyrighted material that was used in the training (that is important!), and they see that they won't get paid for that. Of course they are scared, and they should be. And of course they will now start attacking everything that looks like it is using their copyrighted material as training data.

I really don't get why the engineering world does not get this: LLMs have the potential to ruin people's jobs, it is not clear at all that this is legit (IMO LLMs could not do it without the copyrighted material they used for training, therefore they are derivatives of the original work), and those people are rightfully scared.

I disagree with your premise of censoring as a "way to be welcoming".

There's a valid discussion to be had about the title and the need to preface things with age.

As a a grown ass adult you're not making space, you're demanding ranking that favours your ideas and even more, the silence of some you disagree with.

The funniest thing is that you didn't even address the guide itself. The style or the content, you just came to do "justice" or something.

Content is good enough. Style is a bit "full of wonder and amazement" and has its own particular flair but that's just personal style, regardless of age. You could even argue that age is necessary to account for "the audience are other high schoolers, but that's if you have the discussion you're asking people not to have (and whoever agrees with your censoring mindset and downvoted OP to now effectively hiding it from. View).
That‘s a very nice writeup, I like the style. The mix of text to illustrations/memes was really pleasent. I have my reservations about the RISC/CISC nomenclature but I guess that‘s „each to their own“ >.>

As someone who has spent some time figuring out how parts of the kernels work I can sympathize with the pain it probably was (but well worth it given the article imo).

For NT, I think that Windows Internals covers a lot about the stuff one wants to know and Microsoft‘s documentation is also not bad (certainly better than Linux‘s kernel docs imo); it‘s a really good starting point.

For more info about Windows I can recommend gamehacking forums/resources. There‘s a lot of filtering needed but they are a pretty good source of info for niche things sometimes.

As a last note, I noticed that the font of some code blocks are pretty large when viewed on my smartphone making them hard to read (e.g. Ch. 6/main.c)

Because if your memory is jumpy or you're tired, and you make a mistake, especially on location or temporality, they will absolutely use it against you (especially if you fit the profile they have in mind) and kill you for it (literally in some US states). Never talk to the police without a lawyer.

My father ended up a night in jail because he gave in good faith poor information (that they still used). Don't talk to the police. Even if you're white: as long as you're not in a suit, don't do it.
Digital meetings are never going away at this point so this is a great point. Also, the most meaningful interactions I had early in my career were in small offices with 1 or 2 colleagues. If offices can’t be made available for everyone, they should be available to people above a certain level in the org.

There are new cubicle designs with lower walls that still foster interaction but allow for focus time.

Hotdesking is so bad for morale, especially for people who have dedicated so many years of their life to their employer.
Port forwarding doesn't seem to be a problem for long-established independent VPNs like AirVPN (based in Italy but very ingeniously without exit servers in Italy) or AzireVPN (Swedish; added port forwarding -- all mappings in memory, no static records -- just recently [1]). What makes Mullvad's situation different? Is it a question of margins for high traffic port forwarding users (Mullvad is branching out in browsers and search while these two are not) or something else? I used to be a long time user and a huge fan and proponent of Mullvad's but the communication here has been very much opaque. This is especially so as port forwarding removal was announced straight after a raid where police, after Mullvad's explanations, didn't take anything [2].

I’ve also willingly subjected myself to this draconian interview process once and what I gathered from one of the engineers is that Mark Ubuntu is still very much hands-on and still very much antagonizing.

Take that as you will, but there’s probably not been much change since that small joke from 20 years ago.
For me, the commute is a short bike or train ride. It’s actually enjoyable but I still don’t want to go into the office for exactly the reason given: cubicles suck. The distraction, poor lighting, noise, etc. are a poor fit for any sort of work which isn’t constantly talking to everyone in the same room.

I think the sweet spot is at most 2-3 people in a space. That could work well collaboratively if they do the same thing but not if there are going to be lots of conflicting meetings.
You were probably trying a joke, but you short-circuited on-topic:

'ergonomy' means "how to work".

And we counter the idea that "delegating to big [unlean] dumb servants that will somehow appear to do the trick as a cheap solution" fits.
my employer is currently making noises about this, currently 2 days a week from home. I have a source in the process and I'm told that for 2026 they're going to be giving up their current lease, moving to a new smaller location, and requiring people hot desk so you don't even get your own cube.

It's either going to be working from home or a new employer for me.
It's fine for people to suspect things before they're prove. She isn't being denied a trial. In fact, suspecting something before it's proven is a prerequisite for that person being brought to trial.
My home isn't huge, just a raised ranch. But I was able to build a soundproofed office in a corner of my basement and it's worked like a charm.
As an American in California, watching the extreme lengths people went to, to find specialists fitting some very exacting requirements and literally bringing people from around the world and then rejecting them in large numbers, I was told that in China in the dot-com boom time they formed companies with very skilled people but basically formed the teams with whoever showed up. It was a completely different method, and the difference is the virtue signalling and status cues for the founders and their inner circle. In Silicon Valley, it was anti-status to NOT search the world for particular resume contents, and that got weird sometimes. Secondly the "google style" interrogation of new candidates with "you just got out of computer science graduate school so you learn to present like this" whiteboard sessions, evolved in the hands of callous or worse managers, into a sort of repeated hazing of programmers, by non-programmers or the like.

The apocryphal narrative is that extroverts like the office, but introverts prefer WFH, ceteris domestic situations being paribus.

Maybe tech workflow has a more natural fit with WFH, and tech attracts more introverts, so WFH could be the doubly reinforced preference.

It seems psychologically plausible, but what is your experience?
We prefer that our employees sit shoulder-to-shoulder in long rows so that they can have spontaneous idea jams and whiteboard sessions together while talking about at least a dozen programming languages and debating about the best editor
It is nothing as major as what Python does, but there are routine paper cuts through deprecation and breaking changes across versions, the most notable being 1.9 and 3.0.

But the language itself isn't the worst offender, the whole ecosystem around it tends to not even make reasonable attempts at stable APIs. Which isn't helpful with the way dynamically typed languages typically lack in tooling to safely, properly deal with refactoring - there are exceptions like smalltalk I've heard, but overall the cavalier attitude toward delivering a constant treadmill isn't pleasant to me. Of course, some may argue that the reason Perl doesn't suffer as much from it is because it is "dead", but I'll take dead over busywork.

I must say, I don't like Java the language, but Java the platform almost feels like the promised land compared to this. I don't use it to develop myself, but when I ran into an old unmaintained jar and ran it on a current JVM and it just works.. it feels.. fantastic. Absolutely wonderful. The same sort of feeling I also have when I run old games on Wine and it just works. win32 is the stable API I always wished linux had for GUI apps but will never have because the culture is all about CADT.
They seem to have partially fixed it. In the past it would produce a special token "
" and then immediately after that the LLM would ramble on about a completely random topic, which was either a hallucination or possibly leaking the answer to someone else's query (which would be much more interesting!)

Now it looks like they've added a band-aid to suppress text output, but the chat titles indicate that some kind of text processing is still taking place in the background.
Planets, by definition, have cleared their orbits around their respective star. So a planet killer threatening earth cannot share the earths orbit, or earth wouldn't be a planet. So a circular orbit shared with the earth is ruled out. But if it had a circular orbit that did not intersect the earths orbit, then there would be no chance of it hitting earth, so not really a planet killer either. The possible orbits that remain must be elliptical.

Now if a planet killer passed us every year then we probably would have hit them by now (or provided a gravity slingshot to alter its orbit!), so it follows that it must have a large orbital period :p

I'm not worried about my government as it currently stands. I'm squicked out by the fact that every single private company I interact with seems to be falling over themselves to collect as much data about me as possible, and resell it to anyone who will pay. There are no protections against this in the US.

I am worried, at least a little bit, about an authoritarian government coming to power and basically weaponizing past data collected against it's citizens. I've seen the inferences facebook and google can make with privately collected data. I don't think it's too outlandish that governments would be able to quickly and easily create detailed dossiers on everyone that protested against x or voted for opposition candidate y.

Because by paying a fee to Arm, they get decades of architecture experience, support, peripherals (including a well-thought-out internal BUS), etc.

RISC-V has a good ISA, but there currently isn't a lot of silicon experience in the real world (relative to Arm and Intel, for example). And Amazon isn't going to roll their own to that degree. It's not worth the meager licensing costs.

It's like the difference between deploying Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Arch Linux. Each has it's place, but right now its advantages are in much different areas.
The problem isn't that you're wrong, it's that this is the same cutting insight everyone has in their first five minutes of exposure to urbit. It's like going to Australia and telling everyone you meet that vegemite probably won't take off in America because it tastes weird. We know, man.

My company recently did a forced 3-day return-to-office to "gain the immeasurable benefits of face-to-face collaboration" bullshit.

Except they used the pandemic to close down a site and merge two offices, so there aren't enough desks. So, everyone who isn't full time in the office has to use hotel cubes, so I had my cube taken away a few weeks ago.

I quickly found out that most of the hotel cubes are several floors away from my team, so its incredibly rare I actually see anyone on my team when I go in. I usually sit in silence on a different floor and interact with my team on zoom.

To the best of my knowledge no one is taking attendance yet, so I'm doing 1-2 days tops.
There is a lot of truth to what you are saying, but I don't entirely agree.

I think I would be more amenable to working at an office if the experience felt like more than being in a high school computer lab. "Just wear headphones", imo, is not an adequate response to complaints of the office being noisy. Want me to stay in the office longer? Uninstall that piece of shit kombucha tap or sparkling water dispenser (neither of which are even operational most of the time) and replace it with another fridge so I don't have to cram my food into the one fridge shared by the entire building. Make an adequate number of power outlets available. Don't provide free snacks and then eliminate them to cut costs. If I have a designated spot, do your best not to move me around every few months.

Yet every office I have worked in embodies various failures that diminish the experience, making it hard to deny that working at home can be a lot better for many people. How am I supposed to feel dignity in my line of work as a senior engineer when I don't even get my own cubicle; meanwhile, people I know who make a third of my salary get their own cubes! And these companies are wondering why their employees would rather build their own private office at home? Are you kidding me?

I don't even need a corner office with a door that closes and a personal secretary. Just give me something more than what I would get working out of a Starbucks, and allow me to feel like the professional I am, as opposed to a replaceable cog, which is everything the modern tech workplaces symbolizes.

Prior to COVID, I had made a reputation for myself as being quite difficult when it comes to Office space.

Mostly this was because I felt that I wasn't as effective working in the Open Office.

I was told time-and-time again how the open office is the standard, I figured the problem was me and looked inwardly at solutions (some of which I documented on my blog).

I later discovered I had many markers of ADHD, meaning that fighting myself was actually an unwinnable battle. -- and all those days of going home exhausted after having done nothing that day, only to pry open my laptop at home and finally accomplish everything required -- was something that was not a personal failing.

I envied people who had their own office, or even a shared office; I was told I couldn't work from home unless I was sick or unable to get to the office, and truthfully it was painful to do so anyway due to the corporate VPN being a shambles.

I'm so glad that we are collectively pushing back on this; we are told on one hand that rents are so expensive that it necessitates the open office push, but when that argument is invalidated (even lower rent if you don't need the space at all!) we are told to return to office anyway.

That said, there are advantages to being on-site if you have a nicer working environment, getting away from the house (and the mental context shift that follows) along with access to certain equipment that might make your life easier. It's just that the juice isn't worth the squeeze. And boy, have we been squeezed.
What is the source of the gluten they used, wheat that was desiccated with Roundup? Did they try gluten from organic wheat?

It is known that wheat products from the EU (where Roundup is banned) such as Italian pasta (for which bronze pasta extruders are used instead of PFAS-coated ones) do not cause the same inflammation as wheat products from the USA
Why not also give them a Ferrari to get to work, and a handful of diamonds to make them feel valued. I have been working with the big corps for 12 years, and this is pure fantasy. If they can save $5 a month something, they will. The idea of every worker getting their own office is laughable, even if it is admirable.

I made a claim that the government has repressive housing rules.

You made a vague claim that "society requires structure" to justify repressive housing rules.

I'm presenting another example of government rules: slavery...that your vague claim of "society needs structure" can be applied to. (like many Democrats back then supported)

My point is that your claim is vague, lazy, and incomplete because the concept of social structure can be applied to literally anything.

I'm not sure about Italy's jungles (https://ecobnb.com/blog/2017/01/vallone-dei-mulini-sorrento/), but I found that Rome was superb for eating gluten free.

Small-town and low cost of living WFH is unbeatable for those raising a family. It'd take me about a 100% pay increase to drag me back to the city.
It sounds reasonable but people said the same thing 5 years ago. What year will I see the legacy automakers utilize their advantages to sell more electric vehicles than Tesla? I actually feel in 5 more years people will be saying the legacy automakers never had a chance because they were too set in their ways.
Can you elaborate on what a "stats bleeder scam" is?
You could argue its not populist but we can say its like 10% vs 1%.

That said, some COVID era stats showed 50% of working population doing at least 1 day remote.. and 50% is pretty much right in the middle of middle class and fairly populist-ish?

Something like 30%+ are still remote/hybrid today in 2023, so this isn't precisely an elite-only thing ..

Spoiled? By providing more value to a corporation through productivity increases and work-life balance that allows people to have a better head-space?
The whole office culture thing is unnecessary and performative, and the pandemic proved it.

Any productivity gain/loss is negligible for most types of white collar work. Forcing people to go back to the office is about deliberately increasing attrition and the immiseration of employees because they were got too uppity during the labour crunch.
I think collaboration between software engineers is more effective if everyone works remotely because the screen-sharing and video chatting technology is so powerful and inexpensive. So it's a double win: more flexibility and more productivity.
