Are you sure? I mean, most European countries (there are exception) have a marginal rates of >30% at middle class incomes.

Then add on top VAT rates of >20%.

It wouldn't surprise me it hits 50% of income for an awful lot of Europeans.
I want to be clear that I agree with you and I am not providing this explanation as an excuse for Apple, but merely as an explanation for what might have happened with the timeline: first they announced they were doing this, a bunch of us said "no this is the first step towards breaking e2e entirely", and THEN this year there was the high-profile issue--note that I am not saying it is a new issue, but merely that it was suddenly a high-profile one that actually caused a lot of press and backlash--with the laws in the UK and/or Australia or whatever that showed we were all correct, and so I'd guess even the most ardent "I am smarter than everyone" person at Apple finally went "ah damn I was wrong".

I'm a Backend Python Developer with 9 years of experience building web app backends and APIs. I also have decent experience working on Web Scraping. Have been working on Open source applications. I’m looking for a permanent or contract remote position as a backend/fullstack developer.
They can automate away an increasing number of low-wage jobs, but they'll still want people to clean their offices and serve overpriced coffee.

Maybe they'll have service entrances and hidden car parks where they let the low-wage workers in and out. Conceal the fact that eco-utopia still relies on a whole lot of road traffic bringing people and goods in and out. Really, it'll be an 'eco-utopia theme park'.
Can you say more about that? I can see the loose analogy to socializing risk, but I’d usually think of the concept of insurance along the lines of “many small winners pay for a few big losers”; this looks to me more like “a few big winners pay for many small losers”.
I'd be far more inclined to assume someone didn't have a computer--or at least ready access to one--than didn't have a smartphone.
Often the overall notion of something being good or bad is extremely dependent on the specific details of how it's applied, and their dynamics. While pooling capital or wealth and sharing it among a voluntary, mutually interested group may work for making that wealth grow (after all it's the basis of market exchange and so much built prosperity), this shouldn't be used as a justification for defending forced collectivization and collectivism. These latter tactics might work sometimes in very specific contexts, but their dynamics make them very different and much more plausibly destructive than useful, or even moral.
You're probably aware, but OpenAI has different speeds for different kinds of customers. The most prioritized ones are accounts that have gpt-4-32k.

An easy to see this difference is comparing a trial account's Turbo speed to a pay-as-you-go one.

With an account with gpt-4-32k I observed around 125 tokens/s for gpt-3.5-turbo-16k maximum (4k turbo was slower by the way), as for normal gpt-4 on the same account - I don't remember exactly, but it was at least 20 tokens/sec.

In short, you can clearly observe the difference in speed (even for
Turbo) like this:

trial account < paid < paid with gpt-4 access < gpt-4-32k-enabled account

Yeah, everyone seem to agree that the Han unification was a mistake. But I also think its impact was also exaggerated. The latest IVD contains 12,192 additional variants [1] for the original CJK unified ideograph block (currently 20,992 characters). They indeed represent most variants of common interest, so if the Han unification didn't happen and we assigned them in advance, we could have actually fit everything into the BMP! [2] Of course this also meant that a further assignment is almost impossible.

[1] https://unicode.org/ivd/data/2022-09-13/

[2] Unicode 2.0 had 38,885 assigned characters (almost in the BMP) and ~6,200 unallocable characters otherwise (mostly because they were private use characters since 1.0). 38,885 + 6,200 + 12,192 = 57,277 < 2^16. A careful block reassignment would have been required though.
Observables and Generators (iterators) are fundamentally different. Observables are push-based (like a promise) whereas iterators are pull-based (like a function).

Glossing over this fact leads to a flawed understanding, not a deeper one.

I'm a backend engineer who has a deep interest in system optimization and computer graphics. My last position was at FinTech on improving infrastructure throughput to exchanges. Academically I've specialised on GPU compute and enjoy finding its appropriate use-cases. I've also delved into developing for VR with a 3D Constructive Solid Geometry modeler with a custom BSP-based renderer in Unity.

Open to any comparable positions to my previous one or alternatively to anything related to GPU programming.
I agree with your point.

And this bridge was built a long time ago when prices were different - but a bridge like that would probably costs >$1M today.

If you're trying to improve the walkability of an area - building a pedestrian bridge over a highway that hardly any pedestrian will ever use is probably not the best use of funding.
Everyone asks me about it and where they can get one keychain from tank. I also get to tell the story of the brave Ukrainians fighting off the bigger russian country.
We are talking about Csound and Supercollider here. I didn't make any general statement about GPL or licensing, nor would I like to. The entire point is if one wants to do something else with these programmatic audio systems besides just use them as they are to make music, which would almost surely include bundling the software into or distributing with an application, the projects that have more permissive licensing are more attractive for that purpose. And this particularly affects systems like game consoles or other such hardware like synthesizers.

Please just read my other comments and quit arguing about licensing to me. I am much more interested in just hearing about the features and applications of Csound and others.

Csound and Pure Data are more attractive, to me but likely others, because I can freely bundle them and apply them as I please without tiptoeing around a license, not to mention they have their own pros as far as sound generation goes. Supercollider was presented as an alternative to Csound, but I simply pointed out that if you care about embedding the system into something else, Csound is more friendly to that, as is Pure Data.

Any increase in the number of homes reduces the homeless population. There are so many homeless people in CA mostly because there just aren't enough homes for everyone there. It won't completely solve homelessness - many people living on the streets now need social services and therapeutic help before they can afford any rent again, but there's plenty of homeless people in California with fulltime jobs paying like $30k/year (around the median salary in France). If you build enough homes, these people would be able to find housing, and social services would be less strained for the people who really do need help.

In many countries where smoking remains common, the people standing outside an establishment smoking are looking down at their phones, just like they would be looking at their phones on the bus. Trying to strike up any conversation would be a faux pas, and I imagine even asking a stranger for a light could be seen as an intrusion. In our modern world, experiences where people are physically close to one another does not necessarily mean that they will socialize.
Good points. If one looks at military technology, it often tries to be ahead of mainstream off the shelf solutions.

It ends up extremely expensive and slow to develop.
After the development is finished, it might be that many of the commercial solutions could be better.

In a field where the mainstream is making rapid progress, it often doesn't make sense to create your own bespoke solution.
"My intuition is that given the literal life or death nature of the enterprise, mushroom pickers should avoid leaning solely on any book, AI produced or not."

Exactly. There is no second chance from death cap mushrooms, and in recent years they've spread to places where they weren't once found. Most know that some mushrooms can be dangerous but few know how truly deadly the amatoxin in death caps can be. People where I am in Australia have died only in the last few weeks from eating them despite warnings after previous deaths. Note the warning sign in the link below:

Yeah right we're a free society in the West are we, so you're free to buy my disused Santa Barbara property or the condo with view onto Central Park that I only saw once after buying it, or sleep under a bridge or whatever. Suit yourself this is a free country.
Taken a step further, it's not science when the conclusion is based on cherry picked data; and it's not journalism when you ignore the fact the "science" isn't actually science.
Ah, yeah, the evil technology. Irrigation and its consequences…
Nicotine has been added to energy drinks in Japan for years. The claim that it has cognitive upsides is not necessarily cigarette-company propaganda.
... Have you ever walked over a freeway on the "sidewalk" that's provided? I actually found that part of the quote amusing/revealing. As a frequent pedestrian who didn't own a car for many years, but yet navigated many a suburban area, I would vastly prefer the independent footbridge over a narrow 5' wide strip while 4,000 lb boxes whipped past me at 50mph.

I've done it, and I can tell you besides being a hair-raising experience, one of the few thoughts that goes through your head in that moment is "I am meant to be less than those people in the cars in every way"

> "I know it is popular to assume that americans are crazy and ignorant"

On the contrary, I don't think this infrastructure is crazy or ignorant at all, but it is pretty emblematic of the way America defines class. Pedestrians/people who don't own cars are nearly subhuman, barely given any consideration at all in the best cases, and actively campaigned against at worst.

The way the road infrastructure is for pedestrians isn't crazy, it's entirely rational under a value system where they have no value.

Evolution does not mechanically produce hardier species. It merely eliminates species that are poorly suited for the current environment and recent past.

This is an important distinction because your framing suggests rapid environmental changes would just more rapidly produce hardier species. This is not what happens. Extremely rapid environmental changes frequently just lop off whole branches of the evolutionary tree. Something will likely re-emerge to take its spot, eventually, but there is zero reason to believe that new thing will be “better” in any way than the prior thing, and definitely no reason to believe it’ll be better in terms of human preference in sharing a planet with it.
It's related to the cherry picking fallacy. It's like saying, "everybody speaks French in parts of Europe", making it seem like that is the dominant language. While technically true that people speak French in Europe, the statement also completely omits a crucial detail that 92 % rest of Europe doesn't.
I have never run a bar, but worked in stage lighting, as a bartender and as a cleaner.

And no matter where I worked at, if you'd send in the health department, fire safety inspectors, plumbers, electrical inspectors or cybersecurity experts, you'd find a truckload of code violations, not to mention constant issues with getting paid.
so long it remains as standardized hash. The problem with torrent hashes is that it remains specific to torrents. Most common scenario are volunteers setting up large storage space that indexes all files according to SHA256 where anyone can regenerate those hashes again easily if needed.

There’s two main approaches to economics that aren’t bullshit: empiricism and praxeology. With empiricism, you conduct some sort of experiment (or identify a natural experiment) than can verify falsifiable predictions. With praxeology, you work from first principles regarding rational agents. Both mechanisms result in insights that “work” meaning institutions can use these insights to modify their policies. An easy to understand example is the application of the economics to MMORPG game currencies. But these more generally are applied by finance and government departments everywhere. There is a degree of bullshit that enters when there’s a political dynamic, such as with unemployment rate stats or gdp growth stats.
Very little in the Sydney Morning Herald is true or factual. It's a player in politics of lies.
I’m wondering if it’s related to the recent recommendations New Yorkers start masking up again (https://www.the-express.com/news/health/110540/new-york-ncov...)

Remember during lockdowns they didn’t want large crowds for fear of super spreading events? I know we’re not in lockdown but wondering if the drones have some new tech on them to a) determine party sizes, and b) determine if masks are being worn.

What better way to train a new AI drone system for crowd gatherings and masking use than Labor Day weekend.

Far fetched yes, but we live in weird times where that theory isn’t too far off of the world we live in.
I don't think the US is that difficult for tech workers specifically. You do have to put up with a couple of things (H1-B instability) but it's not that different from the UK, where e.g. you have at will employment until you have worked at the same company for 2 years, which for tech workers is also when a lot of ICs are looking for a new position!

As for the lack of holiday and paid health insurance, that's easily compensated by the huge pay disparity in tech. Honestly, the only reason I didn't go to the US is that I was afraid I might meet someone there and end up staying there. That's on my personal political views of the US which a lot of people wouldn't be bothered about.
Yeah. If you look at a list of technical innovations I expect that there is a whole list of often perfectly rational reasons why some inventions took longer to hit high penetrations levels than others. It's not just "I hate change."

I certainly don't think I'm a luddite in general but there are a lot of things that I'm just "Meh. Don't need it."

Portfolio: https://istvan-kreisz.com/Portfolio.pdf

Hi, I'm Istvan! I’ve been doing iOS development for 6+ years and web development (mainly frontend with some backend) for 4+ years.
- I’ve worked on various web and iOS projects both as a full-time dev & as a freelancer or independent developer
- I’ve built online and mobile games, worked on an e-commerce website and a voice based digital assistant, developed a web based AI chat app, built many portfolio sites & landing pages
- My main expertise is in frontend dev (web + iOS) but I built quite a few backends too for some freelance & personal projects
- I love to build things from scratch and make the critical architectural decisions for a new project & quickly bring a new idea to life
- I also love the challenge of joining a large project and having to figure out how everything works as quickly as I can. One of my recent projects was converting a 80k+ line JS project for a CAD-like web app to Typescript
- I focus on high quality code, maintainability and delivering results fast. I can take any project that I have the skills for but I’d love to work on something AI & LLM related.
Economics is not a reproducible science, because no system can be properly isolated and initial state can’t be reset. But it’s still a science. It’s in the same category as biology, or even sociology, and it’s way more accurate than the study of brownian systems like meteorology.

“If biologists were so good at their science, they’d all be extremely healthy”?

“If sociologists could predict what humans think, they’d have a job”? In fact competent sociologists do, and generally in marketing departments. Same for economists.
First of all, do not attempt ad hominem argument by assuming you have knowledge of my race, background or gender.

Second, a president elected through an electoral system purposefully designed by an authoritarian prime minister, whose party the same president-elect was part of, who was elevated to the unelected permanent position of Senior Minister in that party - hardly qualifies as a reputable source.

99.999999999% of the Earth is unknown to you

Seeing stuff in pictures or videos doesn’t count and even if it did still 99.9999999% of the Earth would be unknown to you

And I am not even starting on fast vehicles, seeing videos or pictures of other people riding fast vehicles is absolutely not the same as doing it yourself

Same with drugs, sex, music, falling in love etc

There is unknown on Earth for 1000 human lifetimes, probably much more than that
