SQLite has a good track record but I can imagine another strongly religious developer taking advantage of authorship rights to damage some small EU-based social organization they strongly disagreed with; just an example.

As for the weirdos, as I said SQLite has a good track record, but I'd think twice over a much smaller dependency. However, I've seen enough disregard for FOSS licenses in business to know the weirdos are few. I guess you either care about license minutae or you don't.
3D printing looks like linear scaling and from what I saw 3D printing services are pretty cheap.

Yeah they are more expensive than running printer in your garage because they need to earn money too but it's not like the price grows with volume
That's the "if you give them the bug before promise of payment." part of my comment.
How do you, as a user, determine whether your oven is in "safe mode" that the manufacturer has toggled, or in "safe mode" that makes the UI look the same as the real one, but is actually a malicious code that waits until 3AM to start the cleaning mode?

I agree that these scenarios are (relatively) far fetched _now_; but if we expect the future to include connecting appliances like that to the internet, then solving problems like those is table-stakes stuff.

I understand that enforced software updates are annoying; but for high-stakes environments like this they strike me as a lesser of the two evils.
The fundamental problem with US health care is that the incentives are exactly backwards. With “fee for service” the prevailing system, of course we get the maximum number of “services”, with providers being driven to provide the most specialized and rare “services”. All while the primary care doctors, who are the ones avoiding the need for services, also known as keeping people healthy, and thus are the most valuable from the point of view of actual societal good, are being driven away.

The system literally generates more revenue the sicker people are. So it’s no wonder it optimizes itself away from keeping people from getting sick. It worked for a while, perhaps because most doctors have morals, but now it seems the shareholders are in charge rather than the doctors.

There is an alternative (“value-based care”) that is slowly catching on, as the governments and companies paying for all these unnecessary services are starting to wonder if there’s a better way. Essentially, you pay a fixed amount per person, so the system is incented to keep people healthier, not sicker. But lord, there are so many entrenched interests fighting against improvement. And even that system can of course be gamed at the expense of society.
The inability to respect the people who come after you is how we've ended up with every single generational problem that we face today. Literally every single one.
I had a sort of similar view and then I heard about a boy attending kindergarten in my area with Sanfillipo syndrome. There are different types of it but basically their bodies can't break down certain kinds of carbohydrates which means that they accumulate in their cells and eventually cause havoc. As a result, they continuously lose motor and brain functions until they die at about 20. There are no cures. Him (well, I don't know how much he knows given his age) and his parents would probably kill for more days. It also made me realize that my day to day problems were utterly trivial and that I should be grateful for even having day to day problems.
Somewhere along the way, a new generation of developers thought that 'Continuous Integration' means "automated builds". I wonder what they think that 'integration' word is doing there?

Also, for most people, the difference in appearance between an IKEA nightstand and, say, an Eames one (or a custom-made one) is minimal.

I feel lost because I get the impression from my resume I look like damaged goods. I've had some recruiters give me solid pointers on my resume and things have improved slightly - but right now I feel like I'm spinning my wheels and wasting time trying to "make a living" doing this like I used to. Making less than my initial FAANG offer after college also hurts.

About a year before, in mid-1997, word got around that there was this cool new search engine project that was giving great results. You could get to it only from the Berkeley and Stanford campuses at http://google.stanford.edu

Berkeley and Stanford, despite their sports rivalry, actually work together a lot and at the time had direct connect networks between the two schools (which also made file sharing across dorms at both campuses a lot easier!), which was the only reason we could access it.

We all quickly switched to using it because it gave far better results than the best alternative at the time, AltaVista.
I'm a senior fullstack dev (php, js, react, vue, python, etc). I mostly consult and do freelance work as it works better for my ADHD, but my best years I do 70-90k, my worst years <20k (covid+depression+anxiety destroyed my motivation in 2021).

I can definitely relate. I had a good year last year, and have been client-less since June and having to borrow for rent. At least our rent is lower than SF (1600), but still not easy to come by.

Also, I'm in Utah, not UK as article talks about.
If you had an actual problem that needed a specialist, and you had a PPO plan (most people do), you'd pick a regional provider chain and find their urgent care, walk in, and get an initial consultation done the same day. Stipulating you need a specialist, they'd make a referral, which you could either use directly or use to book with another specialist. Last time, I was 6 weeks out for my referred specialist from my PCP, and 3 days out from the one I called.

It is annoying to book an annual physical, and to establish a long term PCP relationship. It takes forever to book my PCP; months. But I've learned simply never to go to my PCP directly for stuff.
Companies have an expectation that most of the code they paid for will eventually ship. Pretending like code might not ever be finished is an odd choice.

The exception is experimental work. Obviously experiments aren't being merged into master, so they don't need to be included in the arithmetic for any processes that eventually involve master.

When you said the water was "impure" in your previous comment, no one thought you meant it was sullied with... air. While not technically incorrect, if you honestly thought "impure" was a good way to describe water with air dissolved in it, the best I can say is to watch out for your subtext when using a word much differently than basically anyone else does.

I think any response would be fine as the employer is responsible for the offer. There's really no point asking me how much I would like to be compensated (the answer is always $1b) when the real question is how much are you willing to offer in return for my services.

It's not just HR. As a consultant, wage "transparency" is just price fixing with the effect of mean reversion that disadvantages applicants. The underlying pretext of these anti-negotiation activists is that the people looking for jobs lack skills, agency, and grit, and work on a tenuous 19th century narrative where job seekers were essentially beggars going hat in hand for a wage in exchange for exploited labour.

If you believe them, you've been taken and the only thing being exploited is perhaps your ignorance of an entire genre of $3.99 paperbacks on how to negotiate a basic wage. If you're really serious about anti-negotiation, there's nothing anyone can tell an ideologue other than that gaslighting poor people is despicable.
Status symbols are just that. Status symbols. If you look through nature, you see very similar behaviors everywhere: the "frivolous" use of resources to demonstrate an individual's status in the group, and their desirability as a mate.

Peacock's feathers, caribou antlers, those absolutely kickin' nests that some birds assemble, penguins with their shiny rock collections, humans with our shiny rock collections.

It's a bit of a prisoner's dilemma, in that one's unwillingness to engage in such demonstrations of status will be interpreted as an inability to do so, but to the individual its still an optimal play. At least it gives us an excuse to acquire pretty things. Can you imagine how ugly the world would be if no one was building architectural marvels or designing elaborate cars or jewelry because they could poor concrete into cubes more cheaply?
It was just odd that it was listed as in stock and also had a different model than m851 - but maybe that refers to the processor?
You're right, that was hyperbole and I make a point of not using it. It's BS.

Security is awful, however, and I don't think that's hyperbole. Almost every consumer I know, including people in IT, have given up on privacy and security (i.e., confidentiality and integrity).
No, I don't think that follows. The current model of neurons firing, even if it can be simulated by a computer, does not explain consciousness. Whether the source of consciousness is non-physical, or whether there is some physical explanation, is something we don't know yet.

The politicians often change or reverse laws, should they plan based on the law or the consumers. Personally, I think it quite likely that all these government deadlines for ICE will not be met and the changeover will take much longer than hoped. We don't even know if the manufactures can make enough EVs in these time frames, we still have hurdles for battery and electricity distribution. All that energy in liquid form has to now go ever wires, which are showing strains already. Imagine the entire vehicle fleet needing to feed off that same system, we need to put a ton of resources into the grid

My point is whether you use that or any other method to determine a budget, a lab-grown stone at that price will be objectively superior to a mined naturally occurring one at the same.

There have been a few studies on the systemic effects of wage transparency with respect to average pay. They tend to indicate, as in this paper [0] from 2021 for example, that wage transparency suppresses average wages over time. The proposed mechanisms for the wage suppressing effects seem eminently plausible. I haven't seen much evidence that it would increase average wages, either anecdotally or in studies.

honestly they aren't really 'programming' the base models of those llms either. they have a pretty bland architecture and everything else emerges from there from its training data (as much text as they could find). that's separate from the rlhf they do afterwards in 'finishing school' that makes it say things like 'as an ai language model...'.

> And anyway, nobody so far has explained how neurons firing leads to consciousness.

that's cool but idk how that relates to your point, unless you are proposing the neurons are magic like they are antennas for the will of god or like they really work by quantum effects that cause consciousness and are beyond the reach of our science and technology.

I'm not sure how you think the remedy you're proposing -- "I think everyone who buys a gun should have to go thru the same process, and should undergo a background check, and that a fail dangerous system is bad" -- is actually connected to the problem you're trying to solve. Most of the supply of guns used in crime is stolen guns -- it's not guns purchased legally from private people.

Private people, although they have the right to do so, don't generally transfer guns directly to strangers, because of the possibility of criminal prosecution for transfer to a prohibited person.

There are some improvements we can make to NICS -- but they all have to do with making sure the data is actually there.

https://www.stlpr.org/government-politics-issues/2022-04-29/...

Keep in mind that, in the absence of data indicating a conviction, a person is just going to get cleared in a few minutes. NICS checks basically never take even an hour, let alone a day; the time limit of three days is there to prevent the relevant agencies from engaging in malicious delays.

You have to have time limits like that for most government procedures; and we can't presume, in the absence of evidence, that someone should be denied. You are suggesting we give up something fundamental and general -- the presumption of innocence -- when you argue that NICS should default to closed.
Seems like you should have been contracting with them from the get go and that was kind of obvious.
There are too many variables at work here to deduce something as droll, and frankly, offensive as "poor people are stupid".

Poor outcomes from disadvantaged families are due to more than educational opportunity. Children make fun of each other for superficial things, including how expensive their clothes are. The social element, and the feeling of being left out of activities because you cannot afford them, I would say contributes more to poor outcomes than just the lack of money.

It's everything else that gets triggered or worsened from a lack of money that creates the outcome. And typically, nobody cares unless that person is female or they grow up to create trouble for others. Then they start having conversations about how we can "improve outcomes". As usual, any effort to care comes after problems become too large to handle.

People who discuss this need to either live it or go get exposed to its realities before they can start making definitive statements on it. There are plenty of intelligent people who were simply handed the short end of the stick economically, and it's a failing of our societies that these people fall through cracks to begin with.
