An alternative perspective to consider, what happens to all the skilled engineers interested in and capable of working on advanced technologies like those intended for space if a country decides to put all other development on hold to singlemindedly focus on eradicating poverty?

What would happen to the next generations of talented potential engineers? What value would there be to pursuing an advanced education? Since obviously a space program isn't the only "luxury" that should be put on hold if poverty exists!

The talent would all leave and the next generations would be less incentivized to pursue the very kinds of careers that help a country develop.
Author here. These ranges are typically wide because your compensation depends on your interview performance and perceived seniority/value add to the company.

There's no way to tease this out before you interview, except that if you're looking for compensation that's significantly above the top of the band, it might be hard to get. (A little above the top is possible, and sometimes a lot is possible too... that's where the negotiation comes in.)
It would make perfect sense to me if the "demand" is more of "excitement about the idea" than "desire to make this into a long-term product." I think the actual introduction of these technologies into our lives is going to be a lot slower and more constrained.

Every business would love to get rid of customer service agents and replace them with AI, for example. But no business wants to take a CS agent with an 85% accuracy/successful call record and replace it with an AI that's at 40-50%, because the liability would just be too high. Those numbers and that situation is made up, but I think it's going to be that way in lots of industries and situations for now. Adoption will lag the technology, as with most things.
...Why not use Jitsi?

I'm also in the process of whipping through getting prosody (a subcomponent on which jitsi is built) set up in such a way as to also be able to handle most of what people would use Slack or Discord for.

I do think being proactive like you suggest is a good approach. It is pretty easy to couch it in a relaxed way that you are attempting to save everyone's time and it makes them show their hand first. That way you aren't reducing the possibility of making a higher than expected salary and you can hopefully short circuit positions with companies that are below your desired range or as you said, being secretive or weird about it.
the best part is the "exactly what to say" at the end:

"At this point, I don’t feel equipped to throw out a number because I’d like to find out more about the opportunity first – right now, I simply don’t have the data to be able to say something concrete. If you end up making me an offer, I would be more than happy to iterate on it if needed and figure out something that works. I promise not to accept other offers until I have a chance to discuss them with you."

i love it. I would have to have that right in front of me and read it word for word. And if I get pushed to reveal a number I would need to just pause and slowly repeat it again word for word like a robot.
> The reason that modern web development is swamped with complexity is that no one really wants things to be simple. We just think we do, while our choices prove otherwise.

Tangential, but I've repeatedly found this to be a very useful and generalizable insight.

The problem is that you almost certainly don't have enough information to predetermine a floor, because that almost certainly depends on what other options will be available to you in the near future. I mean, sure, technically your floor could be literally just the lowest amount that you could survive on, but most people anticipate that the options available to them allow them to go higher than that.

> the variety that was easiest to grow and was most shelf stable won out

This is a bit of a lazy trope at this point - and somewhat self-fulfilling. There are lots of counter examples or fruits that only seem easy to grow and shelf stable in hindsight because we prioritized them. Fresh pineapples, bananas, avocados, grapefruit, etc. Same thing with nutrition - the nutrition only declined after they were grown en masse or switched to hydroponic.

Changing tastes account for a lot. People really thought these were superior products at the time. Also the rise of national media came with it recipe books - and consistent ingredients nationwide became desirable in its own way.
Newer tech has added vast amounts of new functionality at the expense of making the older, simpler functions a bit more cumbersome and less reliable. Not everyone likes that trade off. For example, in the early 1980s, landline phones were indestructible, never dropped calls, and had 99.99999% uptime. VOIP phones are nowhere near that reliable, by any metric, but that's the price for fully redirect-able calls/messages among dozens of other useful features.
Hey Jason, cool to see you pop up here! Congrats on the launch, I'm happy to be able to join up as a new paid subscriber. Really glad y'all included RSS feeds for the articles and premium podcast feed; there are dozens of us who still use RSS - dozens! :P

I have a small suggestion: Would you consider adding a perk for premium subscribers to be able to suggest (not demand) story pitches/ideas, and maybe vote for them to indicate which ideas have more interest? It's kind of an extension of what you're planning to do with the FOIA requests forum, and similar to how some FOSS projects try to prioritize features that are requested or bountied by supporting donors. Also, it could be a nice way to crowdsource ideas from your pre-vetted audience, so you don't drown in spam and vote manipulation.

I've never heard the term SSG before. Apparently stands for "static site generating" and is a `next.js` thing.

No, hacker news is not a static site. It just makes use of caching HTML on unchanged pages, and as I understand it that cache is often bypassed for logged in users. This is why sometimes when hackernews is overloaded you can still view the site in private browsing, since you're not logged in it hits the cache instead of generating a page for you.

A cache is not a static site, although maybe next.js is redefining the term, I don't know. Get off my lawn.

That was quite a leap you made there. You can be brutally honest and have positive things to say. In fact, positive things have higher positive impact to the recipient from such a person, since they know they aren't sugar coating.

It’s a spectrum, and you don’t know the struggles of the person you’re replying to. Just because someone can mask or play off as high functioning doesn’t mean it’s not a struggle, especially with people making flippant remarks like this - in fact one of the struggles that keep people from being continually employed is that accommodations aren’t taken seriously because people assume that a working mask means they’re trying to make up excuses. Your statement that the “vast majority of people” only equate it with only the most severe disability is based on… what? Almost everyone I know especially in tech have worked with someone on the spectrum.

> enterprise-level applications that have been successfully built

Who? When? Where? I refuse to believe this assertion. Are we talking past or present? The whole reason why these frontend focused frameworks exist is because either the existing solutions (pure html, even with preprocessors like handlebars, pure vanilla JS, lower level libs like jQuery) did not scale to meet demand or existing frameworks (JSP, PHP, etc) became a mess at scale.

Everyone loves to throw out these imaginary success stories of corps rolling just with html/css but I've never seen it actually proven true with evidence.

> With every passing day, OpenAI looks more like Napster or the many defunct piracy platforms—it relies on the creativity of others to make a buck. And there are plenty of laws against that.

This seems like an interesting comparison.

Napster didn’t take over the record industry of course. But, people don’t buy physical albums anymore for the most part, either. The founder of Spotify called Napster part of his inspiration.

Napster was the half formed idea that resulted from the technical aspects getting ahead of the legal and business ones. Modern music streaming was a business-friendly response to it, a necessary response, something almost as convenient as file sharing.

This OpenAI stuff is weird because, imagine if Sony had invested heavily in Napster and tried to build products around it before people worked out the legal issues. What would streaming look like now, if Napster had been able to borrow some legitimacy and lawyers from incumbents? (And also if Napster had been able to buy a bunch of hardware that enabled business models that, like, Kazaa or Limewire weren’t able to replicate).

IMO the final version wouldn’t look much like p2p file sharing, but it also might not look like the, basically, record industry storefront streaming we have now.

I think we’re in weird times. I don’t think the LLMs will look much like what OpenAI has now in the end, but I wonder if they’ll end up less pushed aside than Napster, given the support they’ve already got.
I'm being unconventional. So now that's settled, you can't use that as a dodge to get out of responding to the point.

Every discrete math book I've ever seen has a strong proof component; it's supposed to be an undergraduate's introduction to rigor. The classes taught out of those books may not actually be that rigorous, depending on whether the students are going to be expected to rigorously prove things later, or if it's just Leetcode combinatorics.

But for a guess, maybe Kenneth Rosen?

I just want to personally vouch for Jason and company as being solid folks who do great work. I have freelanced for Motherboard for 7+ years and Jason and/or Emanuel worked with me on about 90 percent of my stories over that time, which included extremely weird things like a step-by-step for Hackintoshing a laptop that ended up far longer than any of us were expecting, and a deep dive into the backstory of NESticle.

They are truly great at what they do, and I’m excited to see what comes of it now that they have their own plot on the open internet.
Most of the article is about exactly that.

For some additional context:

I know from living in California, and before that Australia, that there is a tension between protecting property structures (or merely forestalling their fate) vs a more macro use of resources to contain the spread. This is the same impetus that will cause a firebreak to be cut through a forest even if it requires the use of eminent domain.

This same calculus leads to the opposite class of decision in urban areas: firefighting used to be a subscription service (in parts of the USA it still is) but the problem is that if your neighbor doesn't have insurance your house could be at risk. So it made more sense to be tax supported and cover people who "don't subscribe".

In the urban case the amount of water is typically low (single structure fire). In a case like this one you have to figure out where to invest your resources and it isn't always obvious.

As the article points out, past misuse (protection of cash crops over the livelihood of workers) has complicated the process of making these decisions in real time.

I assume by SSG you mean static site generation? If so, that's something different entirely. At least in the ways I have commonly seen it used, SSG refers to generation of HTML offline so that all the content hosted is static. For example, in a blog you would generate one HTML page for each blog post. If you were running a blog using some PHP service (such as WordPress), then even those static HTML is what's sent to the browser, the pages themselves are generated on the fly.

I must mention that I wrote the article titled “Opportunistic detection of type 2 diabetes using deep learning from frontal chest radiographs” (you can find it here: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-39631-x). While many of these models present promising advantages for population health, there are still many challenges related to bias and execution. However, it’s worth noting that early disease detection can provide benefits, not necessarily cures. The IDEAs study is a good example of this in Alzheimer’s disease.
This is my experience. I was initially sceptical, then wowed, then stopped using it entirely when I found out how utterly wrong it was about something it really should have been able to do well.

I gave it a programming problem I was having a hard time with, and it came up with the same incorrect answer I had. I explained which part of the answer was wrong, and why. It's response was to apologise, acknowledge that part as being incorrect ... then give me the exact same answer again. I explained that it had given me the same answer, and it apologised, acknowledged it's mistake, and gave the same answer.

If any tool I use behaved like that, I would not use that tool, as the dangers far outweigh any benefits.
For something that was released 21 years ago, it's not that complicated:

- Razor pages, views and components use the same templating language.

- If you want MVC you can use Razor views and Components to render things from your Controller.

- If you want something simpler like a website, you can use Razor Pages and Components.

- Blazor is the new shinny thing. It still uses the same Razor templating language but targets for webassembly or Phoenix-style LiveView.

And for APIs, it's just the ordinary Controller -> Action -> JSON as every other framework.

I think ideally we would all live in modest, reasonably sized simple rectangular houses that are built to last, to be energy efficient, and which achieve low cost through standard designs.

The "then architect" part of the process results in McMansions that are awful to live in, are environmentally disastrous, and contribute to the growing unaffordability of housing for all but the upper classes.
It is arguably the opposite of corruption. Everyone is treated the same and everything is checked in order. The option to pay for a faster approval would be corruption. This is just government offices being chronically understaffed.
