It will definitely get more complex, and the abstraction layers has been a red herring for a while.

Programmers crave more subjective control over the code. But programmers do not lift their tooling and thinking to the level required, over a long grueling process to make it happen.

So instead we substitute in house-of-cards style abstractions that temporarily satsify the requirements. Destined to collpase under their own weight.

Experienced programmers say 'don't build abstractions' and instead we should compress code down into reusable chunks. To dig ditches instead of stacking a house of cards.

Neither make any real change to the art of programming and continuing the status quo, will forever 'incentivize' abstractions, because there is no tooling for squeezing in the subjective structures required in every program.

We so dearly love the ideal of mathematical certainty in code, but it brings a limit to our views on programming.
You're asking an empirical question that will almost certainly only have anecdotal responses.
"Legalese" can often be simplified, but concepts that are necessarily in law are often not widely known by lay people, and as such it's hard to avoid some terminology and reasoning that require a bit of legal training to understand.

But every subject and field has their own set of terminology. It's just like programming -- while we strive to make code easier to understand (eg. Python is better than assembler in this regard), there's still a necessary learning curve. Your question is almost like asking "why can't we just tell the computer what we want to do in plain English?"

Sometimes the legalese is actually comprehensible if you give it a bit of patience. Often though, programmers like to make (wrong) assumptions about how the words are to be interpreted though, and that's where most people trip up.
There absolutely are gold-based securities, though, and most of the "invest in gold" scams are likely subject to securities law. It's true that gold objects themselves haven't been traditionally considered securities, but that's not a blanket statement.

Which is to say, again, that it's complicated and there aren't any free hacks to evade regulation if you're trying to scam people with an obviously fraudulent security
I’ve always found success leveraging past coworkers when finding work: basically if I know an old colleague who is now at a cool company I reach out to them for a referral before applying such that I can get to the top of the list of candidates and often seek to talk to the hiring manager directly to see what they really need from this role, what pain points they’re looking to fix in the next few months.
I think even if it replace devs, the devs will make up some other bullshit job to do. Most software development is bullshit so it's already this way.
> Another in-context method I use is to give the LLM like 3 examples of inputs with ideal outputs and ask it to return me an instruction (or directive) that, if included in the inputs would help it generate those outputs. I used it to test LSAT logical reasoning questions and, despite the instruction just seeming like very basic instructions, it no doubt produced more accurate results when the instruction was included.

Sounds useful and quick to try. Curious as to what made you choose LSAT logical reasoning questions? I used to be an LSAT tutor lol
Yes, we may have finally broken it.

If the next few summers get even more extreme, we'll probably have to start geoengineering before the end of the decade (starting with spraying saltwater into the atmosphere), consequences be damned.
Two probable answers: increased volcanism or meteor impacts.
yea there seems to be such a weirdly deliberate way to use it incorrectly.
So what do you think the future will look like, there will be a product owner sitting there on their own prompting the "auto-coder" and then having it deploy to prod? Flawlessly, no problems, no issues figuring anything out just writing words and having products spat out the other end?

In my opinion, the more you can do, the more will be done. The business will want more, we're never going to run out of work to do. So it will be you, working with an "AI" or whatever just generating code and trying to deploy it at break neck speeds while the business has an existential crisis about what to do next.

If AI is successful as you're making out, it sounds like everyone will be able to have a business, there will be no value in software creation, so the whole industry will be gone, it will just be about products and product delivery. Any current day developer can use the AI to build the things they want to build. It will just be different.
Scencil: fashion search and discovery engine
Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe this was meant to mean a technically more tricky problem.

If it was citizens I could see a case being made that protection implementation could be based on the inputted address that is required for billing or shipping. If it's solely based on if you're physically in a country, then you need to determine in your app if the user is currently in an eu country or not. Which to me at least is more technically difficult, than just going off of a user entered address.
Well, probably the most traditional way is to hire for approx market rate... and then given little or no raises/cost of living adjutsments. Bam, 5 years from now, you're well under market rate.
While a dystopian horror is entirely in the cards we do have this problem build into the capitalist system where we lack interesting products to buy for people with nonsensical wealth. Ideally these would be products that require employing a lot of people, do something new and experimental that contributes to society as a whole.

If we cant make things interesting enough for these insane people all they have is their greed. Insane as in: they suffer from an addiction and that they will need ever larger shots of financially induced adrenaline until it kills the entire planet.

As stupid as it might sound this kind of projects could be the only solution to the puzzle. We might want to limit wealth by law or in general have a government by the people for the people but I wouldn't know where to begin doing that.

Looks like memfd_create is from Linux 3.17 (2014), which was after I wrote the function. I sort of miss the days when simple stuff was hard.
Also good pizza! And there's more than one location.

I believe I read that Nick's, up north, is also heading worker-owned.

And of course worker-owned doesn't just mean pizza in Oakland.
In the actual example, I don't think the engineers were trying to patent something obvious - it's just not unusual for engineers to casually throw around the word "obvious" for things that are not, and it's unwise to have that written down.

It's an early game by Arkane Studios, who went on to make the Dishonored series, Prey (2017), and Deathloop. It's basically their first iteration on what would become their trademark "stealth/combat with superpowers and player choice" immersive-sim-style gameplay that they refined to great effect in their later games. If you play it stealthily it feels remarkably like Dishonored, in particular.

It's hardly a great game -- the plot is cheesy and there are some frustrating difficulty spikes -- but as an Arkane fan and game design nerd I find it interesting.

Plus, there's a dedicated "boot" key and it's fun to kick orcs off cliffs.
I sometimes watch/read South Korean SF and this description of Northern SF sounds familiar. Yes, there are often nefarious Americans behind the protagonist's problem. Yes, the plot often makes a hash of logical coherence. I think a study of both northern and southern SF would find there is still a significant shared culture.
Honestly, it was what was within arms reach that I knew would work. It wasn't as if there were an elaborate master plan to execute. If there were, do you believe I'd be here talking about it?

Though... I won't deny the possibility that spite may have been involved as well.
Or Sandy Hook for that matter. Also, elsewhere in the thread people have mentioned comment sections on major news sites coverage of the Maui fires, and apparently droves of people are more interested in blaming clean energy installations, imaginary energy weapons, and Obama, Zuckerberg, and Oprah (of all people) than anything else.
It’s entertaining, but also dumbfounding that Mr. Jassy would choose to say that he’s conferred with other CEOs, and they feel the same way. Well, I guess that’s not surprising — validating his opinions with like-minded folks. Rather than pontificating about how other CEOs “feel” about RTO, perhaps deeper reasoning would be a more compelling an argument.

Thank you for the paper, and for the work!

Can I ask a newbish question: will this new GC be available on all OS:s and CPU architectures, or only on some? I don't see anything in the paper about being limiting to some certain platform, so my hopes are high :).
If it happens to be AMD, there are promising new treatments in testing. This was just posted today:

Does this have much effect on Kandria’s latency results? Shirakumo tries to put a positive spin on things, but her results show that SBCL’s existing GC isn’t up to the task for real-time games (or many networked apps, for that matter).

As an aside, thanks for your efforts. Adding a new GC is a major effort, which improves things for all of us! :D
dril level
In what way? There are plenty of blue-collar fields where this applies. In many of them, when the workers outgrow the competency of their bosses, they just strike out on their own and become another competitive force (GCs/SCs, carpet workers, plumbers, truckers, etc). This isn't as possible with large tech companies since they require large capital to startup/compete and generally have to worry about getting sued for intellectual property infringements; but it does happen.

Created from scratch probably means someone with a lot of money beforehand decided to do it. The same study calls coop formation rare, and it's hard to control things when you're sampling a rare case.
You need to read further to § 64.2005(2) which covers other categories of services:

>(2) If a telecommunications carrier provides different categories of service, but a customer does not subscribe to more than one offering by the carrier, the carrier is not permitted to share CPNI with its affiliates, except as provided in § 64.2007(b).

And 64.2007(b) as we've already covered says that carriers can use opt-in or opt-out

Anyone with legal knowledge in this area care to chime in and break the impass?
You grow the pie and you dilute it. The end result is that unless there are economies of scale, growth is not very economically attractive.

What I Wish My Dad Taught Me When I Was Little
Yes that too.

In most cases I was able to imagine the nodes as lying on a fabric (stiched in the form of a tube) that can be turned inside out.

And there are two "ends" to this.

There is one subset of points that describes the upper opening of the tube, and there is another subset that describes the lower opening.

Our job is to arrange the points such that we are looking down through the upper opening and can see all the way through into the empty space through the lower opening.

In this solved state, the upper opening becomes the outermost permit error of the solved graph, and lower opening becomes the inner most / smallest enclosed space inside the solved graph. Rest of the points are just extra points on the fabric itself that should "stay in view".

IANAL, but the letter is borderline extortion/blackmail. Threatening to report an illegal activity unless the alleged perpetrator does something to your advantage can be extortion/blackmail AFAIK.
> Clarity in your technical communications matters.

Indeed; it does.

I wish more people watched that Steels talk, where he speaks about importance to use accessible language. One-syllabus words all the way would be perhaps a bit tedious read, but he makes a very good point about clarity in connection to simplicity.

Thanks for all the links Raiyner.
why is the person at the top (i assume you mean the person running operations and making business decisions) automatically the person who gets paid the most? that's very hierarchical business thinking, that being the manager makes you the highest status and highest paid worker. i can imagine a worker co-op restaurant in which the chef is the highest status and highest paid employee and someone else runs the business end of things because that's what they're good at.
Trading in and of itself isn't the problem. Far from it, in fact, given how much well-regulated markets contribute to the overall well-being of society. The problem is the race to the bottom unique to high-frequency trading which squanders otherwise productive human capital and consumes fixed-supply resources like real estate and electromagnetic spectrum. This also happens to be a case where a direct rule change can be implemented cheaply enough to provide more benefit at less cost than even an indirect tax, especially considering the overwhelming evidence that taxes on transactions of any sort are far from Pigouvian in nature.
There is a very real concern about being “left behind” on these issues building.

You’ve got to be early, but not so early you get legal or business disruptions or concequences.

It’s quite the balancing act for exec teams.
> behalf of users, using their own personal emails,

You can’t, if I’m understanding it correctly, otherwise you are spoofing it and mostly it will end up in spam black lists. You can create an alias (and do all the usuals like SPF, DMARC, DKIM, TLS, etc to ensure the security part) and then forward it to users emails, and make it seamless so users don’t see it.
Technically, 'The Doomed City' was released in Soviet times, not in the post-Soviet one, as a result of Glasnost'/Perestroika. It was published in serialized form in "Neva" magazine in '88-'89, then in book form, while the USSR would still be a going concern for a couple more years.
My employer follows a similar approach and it works wonders.

Early on we didn't have a program like this and this went poorly. We had juniors and even novices joining us without any direction or goals. They were unproductive, disconnected, and discontent. Many would eventually quit hoping for something better.

Since then, we have iteratively built up an onboarding process similar to this. Today, we have people dedicated to the first weeks of a person's employment. We have a curriculum that we follow to ensure nothing is missed. We have several mentors in each team. Depending on the employee's interested and the company's needs, they will have the opportunity to try different roles on different teams. Along the way we continually check in with them to see how things are going and if there's anything we missed it that they would like to change. We take those requests seriously and act on them promptly.

The results have been astounding! Our new hires are happy and productive. They recommend us to their friends, helping us to find excellent talent faster and cheaper than online job postings or career fairs. The feedback they give us helps is to improve the process to the point where we typically have few if any minor issues and no major issues.

I highly recommend taking a similar approach if you find yourself in a similar approach as a hiring manager, mentor, or team lead.

I sometimes wonder if the Just Stop Oil and similar road-block, disruptive protests are slyly funded by the oil companies to increase hatred towards the entire climate activism movement. I can't see how this sort of protests can earn any sympathy from ordinary people towards their cause. Climate activists will be seen as unreasonable nut jobs who need to be dealt with with a heavy hand
It is trivial to connect to the mail server for the recipient and start a message using someone else’s address as the envelope “From” address. The email delivery protocol offers zero protection against forgery.

However, for the last decade or so most people’s email servers have been configured to look for DKIM headers on the email itself and then verify them against a public key published via DNS. Since you don’t have the corresponding secret key, you won’t be able to add a DKIM header to the email that can be verified and your email will be rejected. Leaving off the DKIM header will also get you rejected by most recipients.

It is useless to try to forge the sender address these days. SES won’t even let you try; it will simply not send any email which is “from” an address you don’t control.

Don’t try to create a service which sends email on behalf of other people; it won’t work.

This is a good criticism of ImGui, but feels like a false dichotomy. I don't think it's the many layers of DOMs and tree diffing that makes screen readers work well on browsers. Conversely, there's nothing about the ImGui abstraction that makes screen reader support impossible. ImGui already sees all of your text and buttons, so no reason why it couldn't send those to a screen reader as well as the screen.

All in all, I don't think "there is a reason things are the way they are" quite means "the way things are is actually the best they possibly could be".
WRONG - it should be voluntarily expanded to everything.

One dealbreaker for me and far-left thinking is the required authoritarianism of implementing their ideas in society.

If your ideas are so good, go start something yourself, and see if it catches on. If people still want to work for Apple, there must be a reason, despite the lopsided revenue distribution.
imo having product founders / developers answering support questions is a super strong moat. I am surprised that many big SaaS just throw customers around with low tier outsourced support who don't actually know the product, or chatbot that just regurgitate the answer from FAQ page (which usually doesn't cover the customer use case), or worse, deliberately obscure link to get support in hope to reduce their customer support workload.

I run a few small SaaSes, and I try to reply customer email within 24 hours, and usually they are suprised / delighted by my response, and most stayed, or switched away from bigger competitor to mine, after initial enquiry to my app.
> SF is pretty much always about the current day.

I'm not sure that's true, although in the past two decades or so it may have been.

But going back to the classics of 1960s and 1970s SF, I just don't see it. Sure, The Forever War is a thinly veiled allegory of Vietnam, but how are Lord of Light, Dreamsnake, The Left Hand of Darkness, or even Dune about their "current days"?

Dune seems prescient today because of its focus on natural resources, but back when it was written (long before the Oil Crisis) that wasn't really a political hot topic, or even something that most people thought about at all.

> Curious as to what made you choose LSAT logical reasoning questions? I used to be an LSAT tutor lol

Full disclosure: They were actually GMAT critical reasoning from gmatclub. I was also a tutor that strayed from Stats and Math to help a particular person out for GMAT.

Three reasons I always use them...
First is that it's testing only the reasoning and the ability for the model to use reasoning itself and, for LSAT and GMAT, at levels exceeding an average person's capabilities.

Second is that it supplies everything the model needs and can't be solved based on remembered training data. Even testing the model's grade school science knowledge is just a test of the ability for the model to retain and regurgitate what it was trained on, which is an ability I'm not interested in testing.

Third is that I happen to be a natural grandmaster at the GMAT critical reasoning practice questions. For every GMAT prep program, they supply a crappy and convoluted step-by-step process or visualization. All I needed was my simple bridge analogy and every question was about finding, building, or destroying the bridge that holds the argument together.
Buy some land in a cheap rural place and fill it with fruit trees and contribute that towards the community each year. That will sequester far more carbon and help the environment more than contributing funds towards these sorts of programmes - and you will likely build up some immovable assets over time.

The current LLM prompt interface is just generation 1. GPT-4 already has visual input that isn't being shared with the public. As these models become more multi-modal, more ways of "sensing out" what their role in the world/company is, the more efficiently product owners can use them in space of a bunch of workers. It won't be an easy, seamless or cheap transition, but once the benefits start weighing up, there will be no going back.

The point isn't whether or not the amount of work will increase, which is something I agree with as a given. The point is whether or not the rate of increase of capabilities of all AI labor will exceed the rate of increase of demand. I believe it will, which means the demand for human labor in that sector will go down. There are fewer farmers today than 50 years ago, both in absolute and relative terms, even though demand for food has risen exponentially, because the rate of efficiency increases due to farming equipment/techniques outpaced increase in demand.
