I think there will be plenty of work for a while because manual labor - construction, healthcare (doctors, nurses), food preparation, tradespeople - will be hard to replace in the foreseeable future.

I see UBI as a solution to inequality (real problem) not as a solution to lack of jobs (not a problem). AI will probably lead to reduction of inequality and therefore there will be less need for UBI.

In theory, the "mental" workers who get replaced by AI could simply move to manual jobs and total production and average wages would go up. But they may not like it, at least I wouldn't.

An interesting perspective on the use of PDFs in the academic and research world. What I find striking is how PDFs have remained so prevalent despite the rapid digital transformation in recent years. While the static nature of PDFs lends itself to easy citation, it's time we reconsidered the emphasis on format over functionality.
But companies also shouldn't get a free ride with "trade secret." At some level, they are free to pick their defense.

And, charity to the actual ruling, I'm assuming that better arguments were made behind closed doors to get to this point? I don't think it should be a problem to have parts of the process closed, at all. I do find it odd to have such a large blockout, though.
Daihatsu Charade 3 cylinder diesel was the best fuel economy of any car I've ever owned including relatively modern hybrids. That thing more than once made me doubt if the fuel meter wasn't simply broken.
I'm genuinely curious about your relationship with music - is it that of a consumer, or have you ever interacted with it in a more direct way (eg, playing an instrument, making your own music, getting involved with your local scene, etc.)?
This guy is super cool. I reached out to him a while back to provide feedback and we ended up chatting back n forth for a few weeks. Hope you're well my friend!
It's important to note that the ASF did say no to Wave. It never made it out of the Incubator, because it was unable to build an active user community.
Seems like a function the SEC should perform. What's the issue here?
However the IRS has strict limitations on what it can use those forms for, largely they cannot share that with generic prosecutions and can only use it for tax and tax prosecutions. Plus they're under a pretty strict obligation to not share that info like the article claims the SEC will do with the CAT.
Yup that's true and my favorite history youtuber, ToldInStone (PHD in Ancient Roman Studies), covers this in one of his books - "Naked Statues, Fat Gladiators, and War Elephants". Highly recommend it, it's a bunch of short stories on tales n myths about the ancient world which he goes into detail on.

You are correct, from a user's perspective this seems like unnecessary complexity. But here on the system administration side of Chesterton's fence, these splits enable more secure, more robust and more reliable systems. Among others, this allows for improved backup and recovery, better storage efficiency, easier application of security patches and providing centralized configuration.
Yeah, agreed. I use Eleven Labs a lot but this was a very compelling demo to consider changing. Also, curious that you mention Bark - I never found Bark to be very good compared to Eleven Labs. The closest competitor I found was Coqui ( imo ), but even then, the inflection and realism of EL just made it not worth considering other providers. ( For my use case, etc. etc. )
That mirrors my broad understanding as well.
>> I believe a key issue is that the license of LibreOffice is copyleft (I believe some mixture of LGPL and MPL) and so the Apache Foundation--which specifically focuses on code that is not copyleft (a focus I personally disagree with, but is at least consistent)--feels something is lost to the world if they truly give up on the one permissively-licensed open source office suite.

And here I thought they were just against OpenOffice, this interpretation pits them against Free Software more generally. I'm gonna run with that for a while and see how it fits.
Seems like he must have really had some kind of innate physics ability to fall in love with gears like that.

Just casually imagining a gear train with multiple parts in any meaningful way is not a concept that makes any sense to me. I can imagine a picture of something like a gear train, but I couldn't even hold a consistent picture of a bunch of gears in my mind long enough to reason about it. To be able to imagine a whole system with multiple parts is amazing to me.

Computers make much more sense. The context window you need is tiny. Supposedly, it's all about precise specifications, but it's really far more about vague guesses than almost anything else. We think we understand everything, but it's generally accepted nearly all software has bugs, and that most software is never "done", and that it's likely understands the whole of large a modern program.

Some HTML and CSS barely specifies anything, and what it does specify you might not even fully understand as a web dev. Nobody at all understands what ML is "thinking".

Even more algorithmic stuff is rarely understood. It's more like an impressionist sketch, iteratively refined. If someone really knew every part and every detail, then random trivial bugs that almost resemble LLM hallucinations might be less common.

To actually see gears in your head that have any meaning in reality is completely different. There's no external storage, let alone any external validation, the action is truly in the mind, not a collaboration where the machine is doing as much or more than the person.
If your only exposure to passkeys is through their Android and iOS implementations, I could understand this initial reaction, but they don't only exist on Android and iOS.

It's entirely possible to use passkeys outside of either platform by using any FIDO2 security key with discoverable key storage. There are even existing open source apps that emulate FIDO2 security keys that you can use.

I also believe that passkeys can be backed up and exported on Android/iOS, either now or sometime in the future.

The FIDO Alliance is working on standardizing the backup and transfer of passkeys so that they can be exported and used however you see fit.

That said, I don't use the Android or iOS implementation of passkeys and probably never will. It's possible to use passkeys without ever giving closed platforms the keys to your castle.

I think people also get hung up on this: at some level, we too are just predicting the next 'token' (i.e., taking in inputs, running them through our world model, producing outputs). Though we're obviously extremely multimodal and there's an emotional component that modulates our inputs/outputs.

Not arguing that the current models are anywhere near us w/r/t complexity, but I think the dismissive "it's just predicting strings" remarks I hear are missing the forest for the trees. It's clear the models are constructing rudimentary text (and now audio and visual) based models of the world.

And this is coming from someone with a deep amount of skepticism of most of the value that will be produced from this current AI hype cycle.
The problem with these studies is that they gather their stats from doctors. I have no idea about Rugby, but American football has a very real culture of hiding concussions at all costs. If the only statistics they're using are from team doctors, they are GROSSLY underestimating the number of concussions in an average football season.

There's a belief that the average lineman is suffering some form of brain damage on pretty much every down they're in the game.

Well, usually those are for parking either in quite dense (>3 story) business/commercial or residential. It's "only $13/day". Even Tokyo, NY, Paris parking spaces don't get cheaper. So the exception is for rural/suburban environments where parking spaces are cheap/free because space is cheap. Guess what, if you want to live cheaply, it's not going to be where everyone else wants to live and work. Cheap Tokyo apartments are far from transit and on the outskirts or even outside Yamanote. People commute daily over an hour by train each way.

Shanghai and Beijing built huge amounts of dense housing (also Shezhen, Chongqing, Hefei, Ordos) and what happened to property prices? They spiraled out of control since they were considered investments (that only go up) with many of them vacant. What happened to prices in Tokyo (notably after the '89 bust and not before)? Housing became relatively affordable since it's not considered an investment (even with near 0% interest rates).
Same here. I always had problems with laces getting undone. Not with this knot.

The mythical General Motors EV1 also came out in 1997. It used lead acid batteries to achieve 55-78 miles of range. Some models with better NiMH batteries like in the Prius increased that range to 105-142 miles.

This car is everything that I love about my 2015 Honda Fit, and I'm happy to see another manufacturer filling the void since the Fit's discontinuation.

While I am about to trade it in and get a truck, I have absolutely loved having a fairly basic, functional, and reliable car. It's taken my partner and I (and now our dog, who is unfortunately too large for the car!) thousands and thousands of miles across the West filled to the brim with camping gear, while also being a perfect around-town grocery-run car. Biggest repair was a failing starter motor, which ran me $600.

I have been saddened to see even the most basic cars getting loaded up with more and more features, and proportionally increasing prices. Of course some of it is mandated and unavoidable (backup cameras, etc), but I wish more manufacturers would fill out the bottom end of their model ranges with just the required stuff and not much more — letting premium features be an add-on vs. forcing the sale by only offering varieties of "everything". This is a step in the right direction!
Instead the AI will be made part of the unkillable core "security" services and actually be used to find ways to reroute Windows telemetry around DNS blockers, autoconnect to all smart appliances in the house and teach the dog to report on your most intimate habits.

> No one in their right mind would want to walk to any business in the US due to its urban planning and transport infrastructure.

Neither of these things are true everywhere in the US. There are many cities where walking and biking are common forms of transportation. But there are certainly many places where the infrastructure appears to be actively designed to kill pedestrians and bicyclist as well.
Manual labor has been my general thought but the progress Tesla is making on their robots makes me question that assumption. I imagine in the next decade, we're going to see large swaths of the population unable to do meaningful work that isn't already done by machines.

We're looking down the pipe at a truly dystopian future.
Ok, what about songs titled "Rape Me" or "Kill Me". When you heard "Try That in a Small Town", did that inspire you to go to a small town and actually try it? Does it confuse you when people attending a live Papa Roach show don't actually try to cut his life into pieces? I mean he literally just told them to, how could it be any more spelled out?

Maybe music doesn't count for some reason. How about something more interactive, like those "living history" reenactment villages (https://www.colonialwilliamsburg.org/). An actor comes up and challenges you to a duel. Do you accept and actually fight them? Someone on a soapbox in the town square is exhorting listeners to take up arms against the redcoats. As a matter of fact, you just toured an armory, and you see a patrol of British soldiers a few hundred feet away. Do you go arm yourself and attack the soldiers? Can you point to something concrete that differentiates these live interactive performers from Abramovic?

Is there any other piece of art where you'd take the content literally and attack the performer? Actually it's more than that, because if I took these instructions literally I still wouldn't attack her, since I don't desire to. You are making a leap that I still don't understand from "use as desired" to "well obviously anyone would desire to hurt her".

Lots of people feel that way, but that feeling is an inaccurate representation of reality.

Someone at 36 has at least 2x more work ahead of them than behind them.

They do need to pick their work and projects carefully. Thirties is when it is fair to expect that someone knows their own self to a degree, has some basis for understanding the perspectives of others, is responsible about commitments, knows to a degree what they know/can do and don't know/shouldn't do, when working with others. In short, an adult.

An adult tackling a problem in a responsible way is how things in the world actually get done. Welcome! You are now in that club.

There are many lucky savant children in the world, who are good at one thing and idiots at many, and for whom drama is a way of life. One of the joys of working with adults is just not having the drama, staying focused on the issue at hand.
> So you're saying people don't do a rational analysis of the risks... but calling it "irrational" is strange?

GP's wording implied that rational people take public transit because they've done the risk-benefit analysis, and irrational people don't. I'm not sure if there's actual evidence behind such a risk-benefit analysis.

> people would benefit from correcting, through education and changing social assumptions.

If the goal is to attract more people to use public transit, it would be vastly more effective to police the occurrence of antisocial behavior on it, instead of telling people that it's actually OK, the chance of stepping on a puddle of piss or being shouted at incoherently or being pushed onto an oncoming train is much lower than they think, and is lower than the chance of being injured in a car crash while driving to work. Whether or not that is true (and I wouldn't mind seeing some cold, hard data on it), most people will prefer to roll the dice with their car.

In other words: if you're a social architect keen on implementing your vision of a flourishing public transit system, it would be irrational not to account for people's loss aversion, whether or not that loss aversion itself is irrational.
Could you link me a source for this? I can't find one when I search.
Redundancy is also nice – given how remote Saint Helena is, I could imagine repairs taking quite some time.
LOLBAS a great project, and is really useful when you're on systems and can't easily import new binaries.

It can also provide a good list of binaries to blacklist (or at least monitor and alert on), as long as you do it with care. For instance, how often is something like "whoami" or "certutil" or "wmic" ever legitimately run on most servers?
That's a public health issue that no one wants to address. We're completely ok with de-funding public healthcare and social services while complaining about the results.

If you're deferring to another future, that's the first piece of the puzzle (which is primarily "solved" by having the compiler do some magic to make the deferring easy, although things like the futures crate also provides a lot of useful interfaces for async I/O without actual implementations). At the end of the day, there is some fundamental future that has to implement the "schedule a call" piece, and that requires some degree of coordination with the top-level executor.

But the people they poached included the management which was perhaps the worst decision that T2 made when they created Intercept Games.

Furthermore, looking at the demos presented in 2019, it's not clear that much progress was made between then and now.

The complete stall since early access release (7 months with just a handful of hotfixes) and lack of feature delivery suggests that IG don't have the competency to deliver.

That, or they moved all their staff to their other "unnamed title" they're hiring for and have KSP2 on the most minimum of developers to pretend they're making progress toward their roadmap.
The ASF does have a marker for retired projects. See https://attic.apache.org/

Software projects have a natural lifecycle, and since we've been around for almost 30 years, there's going to be a number of projects in that state.

However, the ASF doesn't force projects into the attic while they still have a community around them. OpenOffice is an edge case - there's still a project community, primarily around templates and other end-user-centric activities. They're just not doing much with the actual software any more.

Granted, there's room to disagree as to whether 1) the ASF should force projects into the attic and 2) whether OO actually has an active community. But the Foundation's position is that this is the decision of the project, not one to be forced top-down by the Board.
Seems like a lot of what I read about Kafka really makes it sound like using it is quite, well, Kafkaesque

Why do so many engineers end up having such a struggle with an event sourcing system, yet the system itself remains highly popular I don’t know. I theorize the following:

- Its flexible enough to do things like receive events (messages) and sending downstream events from those received

- it can ingest events fast. A well tuned instance is very fast and can handle a lot of volume

- it often allows a middleware log point (or other work types) for things happening throughout your whole system

Perhaps all of these things (and more) are hard to attain using a different technology
Maybe I'm just a grumpy old man but you'd have to raise my property taxes (already above the national median) by 3-4x before I'd even consider renting out our empty bedroom to a stranger. For starters, there's no legal or practical way to modify my home to allow either of us any sense of privacy or freedom to come and go without being a significant disruption to the other.
Is driving the primary source of the "overheating?" Are safety outcomes different in the past 50 years? Are meme's anything other than weak propaganda for half thought out points?
Firing them wouldn't harm them more than letting them destroy their lungs. And PPE requirements are commonly mandatory: you can't set foot in a construction area without a hardhat, no matter who you are.
Hm, interesting. I guess they both could be true, like I could totally see myself sitting around trying to come up with a fun name for my software project and being influenced by a film I saw the previous weekend. But given that the documentary where the quote originated smells more like marketing than anything else, I would not be surprised at all if this were indeed a retcon. I wish the docu was still up.
> A cynical take could be that Apache is an org that helps companies like Amazon profit off of the work of open source developers.

Apache httpd certainly helped tons of companies profit, so helping companies profit doesn't seem off-brand.
Am I stupid for feeling that Google Chrome and my iPhone keychain is all the password management I need? What am I missing out on with solutions like Bitwarden or 1Password?
Well, sort of. Open source was just a different name to describe free software, with the purpose of emphasizing the collaboration benefits this gives the business rather than the freedom it gives users. But this "business source" stuff is a different thing which is not open source at all.
I don't use frameworks or compile to js languages. I've only learned the plain html, css, js and DOM APIs. I have the same reservations about React and Typescript as I do these mobile APIs.

I agree that Kafka is alot of machinery for a fairly limited gain. but I really dislike this whole notion of 'antipattern', as if we can look at thing and assign a decontextualized thumbs up or down. that building systems is just a matter of assembling the right patterns, and avoiding the antipatterns.
