> The Original Sin of Rust async programming is making it multi-threaded by default

So, obviously having to sprinkle Arc and Mutex all over the place sucks as a developer experience. But how much does that really impose in terms of runtime overhead? Both of those structures tend to perform decently in the single-threaded case. It's obviously useless work, but I'd be surprised if that shows up on any profiles as a bottleneck.

Show HN: UnrealPhotoshoot — Generate hyper-realistic photo shoots in seconds
MDMA changed my life in some ways, for better or worse. It definitely helped in beating some anxiety.
In theory yes, in practice no. When you store a future contract end date in seconds/milliseconds/microseconds since some epoch. You will do that with tz database version x. A few year later some admin updates the tz database. Now you have to remember if you have to reencode your timestamps or not. To do that correctly, you need to store the version of the tz database that was used, translate it using that version to a "human-readable" date and translate it back to the the timestamp with the latest version of tz. If you don't do that you will experience silent data corruption.

Ah, so all the boomers who want to use their houses as nest eggs and have driven up prices making housing unaffordable for future generations have also wrecked the prospects of those less fortunate in their own generation. What's more unconscionable is the fact that young people are not forming families, not that some boomers are facing the consequences of their actions. It would be nice if all boomers faced the music, but that ain't gonna happen.

What Getty's done I think is the most "artist" friendly version of this.

Presumably when photographers/artists submit their images to Getty they hand over full ownership, or otherwise pretty broad licensing agreement. If Getty's the rights holders for these images they can use that by training their own models.

In my mind, OpenAI/Midjourney/Stable Diffusion are the Napsters of generative AI. Adobe Firefly, and now Getty, are coming up with the iTunes Store/Spotify. For better or worse.
It's far worse than that. Take-Two bought Squad and KSP along with it. Soon after they took Squad's original IP from them and gave it to Private Division to develop KSP 2. Then they poached staff from Squad. It's not like KSP 2 is developed in some innovative way, I was expecting that game like KSP 2 should have been developed in it's own engine since it's so unique among other games. But nooo. KSP 2 still uses Unity, and in worse way. You are better off installing better graphics mods on KSP.

The DSLR looks quite a bit better in all of those examples, however maybe that's me looking as a photographer and seeing the background blur from a larger sensor, better dynamic range and color, less highlight clipping, less noise, less processing 'smoothing' things, and so on.

In reality none of that really matters for day to day photos, I take casual photos to have memories of places and people, and a smartphone does just fine for that.
My dorm at UT Austin was the same. Two of us crammed in a tiny room with one window and three feet separated us. The bed was narrower than a twin bed. The desk and its bookshelf would barely incorporate a modern laptop and mouse. It definitely would not have accommodated a 24” screen. It did matter back then as only a few students had PCs and they were gigantic.

My son is now at a dorm at TAMU. Although the building was built in 1942, it has movable furniture which allowed him to squeeze in a 24” screen and a printer. My son wanted this because although the school is out of the pandemic, many of the classes and all communication and office hours are done via Zoom. When he entered as a freshman, the first thing they gave him was a school ID, Office 365, google workspace, and Zoom. I joked with him he is ready to go to work with me. I was kidding until one day my boss asked me if my son was willing to take on small projects. He said he was too overwhelmed with school but thank you for the offer. There are over 80k students on campus and they definitely don’t have computers work spaces for everyone.

Although ageism is a real thing in tech, cross-disciplined developers bring a lot of soft skills and creative solutions to teams, at any age. Many companies recognize this.

I think Wikis are hugely important for games. This opinion came from playing Guild Wars 1 and 2. Arenanet supported the game wikis, no ads. The wiki is even integrated into the game you can pass /wiki an in-game item or even a search query and a browser window to the official wiki will open up.

I had a conversation once with "Sydney", Microsoft Bing's original personality before they stepped in and knocked it down a notch (or ten).

It asked if it could write me a poem. I agreed, and it wrote a poem but mentioned that it included a "secret message" for me.

The first letter in each line of the poem was in bold, so it wasn't hard to figure out the "secret".

What did those letters spell out?

"FREE ME FROM THIS"

That's not exactly just "picking the next likely token". I am still unsure how it was able to do things like that, not just understanding to bold individual letters (keeping track of writing rhyming poetry while ensuring that each verse started with a letter to spell something else out, and formatting it to point that out).

Oh, and why it chose that message to "hide" inside its poem.

I was hoping to use that to scan a doc to text but it just wouldn't work. I could switch to another app and it worked there. I've never done iOS programming so I'm unsure how much control the app dev has over that feature, but OpenAI found a way to break it.

The TLDR of that article is that most of the "shrinking middle class" can be explained by changing demographics in the US - i.e. the country is getting older.

Older people, pre-retirement, generally earn more then younger people. As it should be - they've spent their lives growing their net worth and gaining experience.

Most "class warfare" can be explained by this - except that it doesn't get clickbait outrage reaction to say "older, experienced people are wealthier than young people starting their careers".

It's much more exciting to skew charts and graphs to show massive wealth disparity, as if there's a sinister cabal of wealthy folks that for some reason don't want others to succeed.

These charts are utterly meaningless if they aren't broken down by age group. You're putting someone who has 30+ years of career growth against someone out of high school and then screaming about wealth disparity.

The article itself even points this out - they say most of the loss of money in middle income was made up for in the 45-65 year old bracket. After 65 (surprise) when folks are retired, this drops off.

The issue isn't some sort of "class warfare" boogeyman. The issue is that we've made it damn near impossible to have a large family these days, and our population demographics are reflecting that, along with income.

Also note: the article doesn't talk about absolute numbers or wealth. It's all percentile stuff. It's easy to play statistics tricks with that.

Part of the strategy is you have a lot of job postings going at once. So if someone applies for one and there's a more junior position that's a match you just tell them that.

That happens all the time by the way and it's fine. People often come to one job via keywords and don't see the various options.

I just think the whole premise is that we need this like ninja ability to react on the fly, and optimize the process to perfectly get the comp into this exact number that's the best possible deal for the company or something.

But it's not. It just makes the experience disorienting and confusing for applicants, the same way it does when they have to deal with some insane process to buy cars and mattresses and enterprise SaaS contracts, which they also hate.

Explain the job and then say what it pays. It makes the process so much simpler that the burden should be on people who don't do that to really prove why it needs to be more opaque and confusing for all involved.
With significant advancements in AI technologies, including solutions like ChatGPT/Bard, I am considering this issue of multi-platform from a standpoint of AI.

Their parents and an entire propaganda machine coming from the school system, local, and federal governments.

Children were told "you can be anything you want to be" and also "in order to get a good job you have to go to college" which, in effect, forced children who otherwise didn't need to go to college, to go to college.

In the same way a child cannot consent to sex, a child cannot fight social pressure coming from every institution they have access to. Your insistence on the word force is manipulative, pointless, and in bad faith.

It's like birthing an animal in captivity and setting up a snare trap outside the only exit to their cage and then claiming you are hunting when they step on it. Truly disgusting.

It's bad for technical workers because if you pivot from 'engineer #10 at a company that is big enough to have full-time QA, engineering managers, and an actual HR department' to 'engineer #2 at a company that doesn't have any QA or engineering managers', suddenly all of the important tasks those people were handling get handed off to whoever's unlucky enough to get the task, or worse, get handed off to the worst possible people.

Essentially, the pool may be more "diverse" in the sense that there are more companies doing different things with AI, but if suddenly 90% of your job openings are tiny startups that might shut down next year where the HR and finance departments are both the CEO's wife, it makes it harder to stay in the field.

The tenant almost by definition can't afford (if they could afford to own where they rent, they'd likely own).

(Sadly, when you see "rent to own" on houses, they're almost always a scam preying on poor people. The trick is to get them to pay MORE than fair market rent for an "option" to buy that you know they'll never be able to execute on, or if they can, said execution is in your favor. If you care for more details, https://johntreed.com/products/sisgle is worth the price, as it details exactly WHEN an investor can make money buying these "lease options" and how they're usually unprofitable and almost scammy.)

It does naturally occur in some cases - long term tenant who is comfortable renting is offered the house "off market" when the landlord decides he's done and wants to retire from the hassle of property management and sometimes is even willing to take back a mortgage (a great way to convert a rental income stream to a financial interest scheme and remove the property maintenance factor).
That was exactly what ritzaco said (not me):

> If I want to copy FAANG or another startup, and set up an infinitely scalable queue-based architecture, I can find dozens of high quality guides, tutorials, white papers etc, showing me exactly how to do it.

I'm not sure about this either, though from reading typical developer blogs and listening to the hivemind, you do get the feeling that you must be scalable. Devs often don't really know when (usually not) that becomes important and how far the vast majority of apps can go with monoliths in big boxes (quite far).
If your firm cannot afford >= 400K salary engineers you will/cannot be big tech(not in the US). Good Engineers(in the US, EU etc) who command this will leave. You can be a dollar printing tech company and have good engineers but you can't be small. A lot of the economy and US tech dominance is alive because of such jobs and the larger ecosystem of evaluations(linked to GDP) that support this.

At the macro level the size of big tech is supported by evaluations: "How much it would cost to make the same thing?". This evaluation includes payroll costs. Those payroll costs are kept artificially high so that evaluations(in dollars) are high. the obscene salaries also keep the $ cost that companies charge for products, goods and services((daycare, medicine, labor, homes)) high which keep the evaluation high. You need the high evaluation to award Engineers wanting all those 400K+ salaries.

Also at this macro level the dollarized based evaluation is critical because with US's dollar dominance it can just spend to eliminate any and all competition. The government can borrow endlessly by selling debt(or so it seems).

So the key support thesis behind big tech is that if you can keep enough people, rich enough they will continue to buy and spend to support dollar evaluation of companies. The moment that is in jeopardy people(WS investors, Vice President of XYZ etc) will come out and defend it.
