Am I right that you want to apply certain apriori ideas, like preference of simpler models, in order to build semantic interpretation of reality? I don't believe that any set of such apriori ideas should be universal for all minds. As for me, I built my framework because I seek to define meaning of activity. This framework is the result of my preconception of meaning together with some other relevant philosophy. I want to tell about it to any people who have same objectives and prelimimaries and anyone else interested and learn criticism.

My model requires immutable identities: without them, there is no temporally consistent individual meaning. As I know that time is always passing, temporal consistency is required. Although my body may disappear without a trace of its contents, my identity is recorded in history/spacetime.

I also know that people can disagree on politics, from which follows that there can be multiple different non-nested identities. If you want, you may still combine conflicting identities into a "conflicting superidentity" to achieve an algebraic style. At the boundary of conflict, though, communication is unlike that inside the volume of agreeing or orthogonal agents. Cooperation is replaced by either trade or fight.

It is less likely for you only because you prefer simpler ones. My evaluation of ideas, for example, is not so straightforward.
For VMs, I find RDP to be on par with SPICE (which is more of a qemu/libvirt thing). Both have support for device/drive mapping, I believe. That's both over ssh sessions (I know RDP has encryption, but I'd rather not trust it).
Yeah maybe it has been around for a lot longer.

I always wonder if whatever specific speech pattern is really increasing more or I'm just noticing it more and being aware of it.

> Others of us thought that the main problem with JSON is that it's not human readable and writeable enough. So we came up with new formats like YAML. [EDIT: My timing is wrong here, sorry.] Unfortunately being human we could not resist making it much more complicated again, thus increasing cognitive load.

One of the odd things about the progression is how user-hostile it is. JSON lacks support for comments, YAML has systematically-meaningful indentation indentation and frequently deep nesting, etc.

Yea, but it's different. For example, we have harmed ecosystems by our flood, erosion, etc. control of rivers. They're supposed to move, but we don't let them, and that has detrimental downstream, figuratively and literally, effects. And it's because we view rivers as just a vessel or tract of water rather than as part of a system. Analogously, the ocean is not just a bucket of water.

Coastal ecosystems are particularly sensitive and are already at a tipping point. Are they meant to have bits of it pumped out, filtered, and everything but the water dumped back in?

I have been downvoted here, but is it really a bad thing to attempt to understand things a bit better? Before we solve one problem by creating another problem, something humans are really good at?
Absolutely. And I'll just put this here for anyone who's looking for inspiration:

> That's about as silly a measure as number of lines of code produced.

How else would you measure how much work someone does, other than by how much tracked work that's attributed to them there is?

The people using these indicators probably don't care about someone who might have fewer closed issues but instead is helping out 5 people work more efficiently, but rather about people who are constantly shipping measurably less than others, stack ranking and all - in their minds, development should be viewed as some widget factory.

Just look at what happened to agile and how SAFE ended up: https://www.atlassian.com/agile/agile-at-scale

That's also how you get attempts to turn some abstract complexity evaluation (story points) into hours that could be billed to a client ahead of time, even though it probably shouldn't and doesn't work like that.
Probably 10-15 years ago when wifi on airlines was still pretty brand new I remember a fun hack for free Internet that involved Google Translate.

Because the wifi landing pages used Google Analytics, they allowed traffic through from many of the Google domains. You could then go to Google translate and translate the website from English to English and use it as sort of a proxy server to get free Internet.

Instead of thinking about codegen as a replacement for a developer, what if we thought about it as an extension?

In my filter bubble most people would already agree with the statement that generative code models are an extension rather than a replacement. It's not that revelatory of a statement.

Saying they are a replacement without any evidence to suggest this is already starting to happen seems like it's taking a larger leap of faith.

Last time I played with RDP on Linux it really just seemed to be a wrapper around {the equivalent of} a VNC connection - so even when it worked, it was nothing like the streaming experience when RDP'ing into a Windows machine. Not sure if things have improved since, or FreeRDP does things differently.

I had a quick glance through the FreeRDP site but didn't spot any immediate clues as to whether this is a true Windows-style optimised/streamed RDP implementation or a "we'll send you a constanst stream of compressed bitmap screenshots" VNC-style...

RDP on Windows is one of the few things I really miss from the Windows ecosystem. There is nothing on Mac or Linux that I've seen to date which comes even close to the near-instantanous experience of using a Windows machine over RDP.
> Companies lay off people because they can, simple as that.

If some divisions or individual employees in a company are not making meaningful impact on the bottom line and are not long-term strategic for future profits, then it makes sense to let them go.

Just because these are hugely profitable companies, doesn't mean you should be spending money on things that will not lead to you generating additional funds. That is like keeping real-estate rented but not filling it with people -- it is wasted resources, whether it is humans or real-estate.

These companies over-hired or were sloppy in terms of their spending and that has changed in the new environment.

OSHA inspectors really do take workplace injuries and safety seriously, regardless of how toothless the enforcement actions sometimes seem.

The real problem is that there are about 2000 OSHA inspectors in the country, working out of about 100 offices, and serving more than 100 million workers.

> Companies don't have access to as cheap credit, so they're trying to appease shareholders by cutting costs to improve profitability.

It's not just profitability and shareholders, although those are good indicators of whether or not you're overspending. If the cost of capital goes up, something has to give to pay for that.
How does that help gamers? I'm not saying I'm a fan of Epic's game store or that anybody is poised to post a serious threat to Steam's dominance anytime soon, but it seems like a good thing that Steam has some competition to keep them honest.
There is nothing uniquely different about caste discrimination than Shia/Sunni divide among Muslims or Han Chinese/non. If you goto Africa, similar fault lines are there. It is social evil which is at verge of extinction in a generation or two, unless provided oxygen by these laws. There isn't a widespread precedence for a law which uniquely targets Indians and them asked to prove their non-caste behaviour. Current anti discrimination laws are good. Still these laws keep getting passed. This is witch hunting.

That's actually an advantage of indentation sensitivity: the indentation is always correct, so you don't need to auto-format it.

I will go ahead and assume that in the middle of nowhere and with no cameras in sight, the authorities may have used any available data (i.e. cell tower antennas information, social media tracking your phone's location 24/7, and so on).

Chainsaws like that cannot be handled by a random 16 boy, unless he is the son of Hulk or Thor. Perhaps the kid texted to a friend "we cut the treeeeee" or similar.. I would be VERY surprised to finally see proven that a 16yo did this.

Side note: I have used a chainsaw numerous times in my late teens cutting down branches for a fireplace. I could never manage to cut the tree trunk pieces, even on a chopped down tree. Branches (20cm diameter or less) were easy peasy. But a 60? 70cm diameter? Nah...

Maybe this is the answer to a disconnect I've noticed. A number of devs where I work have started using ChatGPT to help with their work, but it hasn't resulted in any noticeable productivity or quality gains.

I'm using it in three ways on a current project to reduce admin overhead for my company:

1. I've written a program that reconciles all my invoices against bank/cc transactions at the end of each quarter. My accountant otherwise has to do this by hand. It uses OpenAI's APIs to read the PDFs, parse out the invoicing party and amount(s), and as a fallback when classical NLP fails to parse dates.

2. I used GPT-4 to help write that tool using https://aider.chat/

3. I use Copilot to assist as well.

Originally I tried to use GPT-4 to do the reconciliation as well, but that was not successful. What worked better was getting it to write me a first cut fuzzy algorithm and then taking it from there.

Those metrics are in fact routinely gamed by well-meaning PMs whose (perceived) compensation is affected by those numbers, with UX-dubious features like unnecessary and disruptive notifications, highly discounted introductory promotional periods that most users churn out of, and so on.

Hence the adage: the most effective way to take a useful metric for measuring progress towards a goal and make it useless, is to make the metric the goal.
In the US (I believe) Net Neutrality basically died. Even before that, it was allowed to zero-rate categories of apps (like messaging). That might be coming back now that the FCC has 5 commissioners again and can reinstate Net Neutrality.

However, even with reasonably strict neutrality, this is still possible. Many mobile carriers zero-rated streaming services here, but unlike your operators they'd do it for any streaming service. It was pretty easy for any streaming provider to sign up. They'd basically give the operator the IP ranges they'd be streaming from and the operator would just zero-rate data to those IP ranges (and they'd usually apply bandwidth throttling to around 1.5Mbps so that you'd only get 480-720p video). The key is simply not discriminating between providers within a category.

Being forced to defend a stance that legitimizes discrimination against a group is not itself discrimination.
In case this needs to be pointed out, an RCE in a game is an accident, not the way they designed their multiplayer to work. I was describing why the Firefox team might wait for a feature to be security-hardened before releasing it. The answer remains the same -- they design and market the thing to be secure even when it executes untrusted code. Activision does not advertise their games as able to "securely execute RCE gadgets from maliciously crafted steam authentication packets". This part may be surprising: the Chrome and Firefox teams do, in fact, try to ensure that when someone gains RCE, that they execute it securely and it can't get very far.

I am not attempting to claim that games do not have security issues or cannot experience remote code execution, just that this is not a normal pattern of behaviour that they plan for, so it is normal that a game author would deploy wgpu long before Firefox does (while Firefox spends a lot of effort on fuzzing, etc). If anything a terrible CVE that Activision has expended apparently zero resources fixing is a very good example of what I'm talking about.
There's a very simple reason for it - the amount of slightly customized code is directly proportional to automation.

When working with embedded systems - I barely ever have "lightly" customized code. Meanwhile the closer you're to the frontend - the closer you get to having majority of your code being boilerplate.
>I could drive to the next state over and buy almost literally anything cash in hand, short of an actual full auto.

You couldn't. At least not legally. Buying firearms from a private party in another state is illegal by federal law. You could only buy long guns from a federally licensed dealer in a neighboring state if that firearm is legal in your state of residence. If you wanted to buy a handgun from a federally licensed dealer, it would have to be transferred to a dealer in your state.

>In Florida, this one chick left an AR on the sofa with a full mag, a round racked, safety off (State 4, aka Instant state, which means SOMETHIN'S GETTIN' SHOT).

Many years ago, when hotels first started having and charging for WiFi connections, I wrote a simple little tunnel using the DNS port back to my server. Since the hotels didn't block that port or even bother to check what traffic was going over it, it worked like a charm.

I tried it on a trip to Tokyo and immediately got completely blocked. It took me a few minutes to figure out they'd blacklisted my MAC address. I changed the MAC of that interface and then behaved.
LLM code generation tools are producing output equivalent to a new grad who doesn't know much how to write code that integrates well in a program. It churns out a lot of text but every bit of it needs to be questioned and reviewed. As such it's not exactly a productivity booster where correctness matters, it's actually a liability. But for churning out code that isn't critical, it's great.

Is it an in-built preference? I think a robust monism is still a fairly radical position, especially among religious views. For example even the branches of Christianity which tack more materially tend to draw a rigid boundary between creator/created, God/the universe, etc. (and if you interrogate lay views they tend to skew even more dualistically).

Yeah at a certain point it seems like the bean counters really take over and the easiest way to grow profits is to cut costs... except a certain point there is only so much you can logically cut or optimize. After that you are just cutting the product/service/business to the bone. You can remove the suspension in a race car to save weight, but it's a bad idea.

I am reminded of a Steve Jobs quote:
""It turns out the same thing can happen in technology companies that get monopolies, like IBM or Xerox. If you were a product person at IBM or Xerox, so you make a better copier or computer. So what? When you have monopoly market share, the company's not any more successful.
So the people that can make the company more successful are sales and marketing people, and they end up running the companies. And the product people get driven out of the decision making forums, and the companies forget what it means to make great products. The product sensibility and the product genius that brought them to that monopolistic position gets rotted out by people running these companies that have no conception of a good product versus a bad product.
They have no conception of the craftsmanship that's required to take a good idea and turn it into a good product. And they really have no feeling in their hearts, usually, about wanting to really help the customers."
