Feh. Of course this is happening. Who's hiring experienced product leads outside the US anyway?

The job market, especially outside of the US, is dead for experienced product leads, and the culture and other factors outside the US can't be changed so easily. I know at least five people now, from the EU, who are struggling hard landing product leadership roles internationally.

With all these tech companies tightening budgets and laying off staff, hiring has slowed across the board. I mean I guess for sure there's still desire for senior PM talent, but the roles are 100% more scattered.

I only know a bunch of people in the EU and don't really have a global picture so how's the product job landscape globally? What regions or companies still have healthy hiring pipelines? Is it mainly US-based companies recruiting abroad or are there other non-US tech scenes continuing to grow? I mean, there must be, but nothing compared to the US.

Maybe the AI takeover should come as soon as possible after all.
I watched the interview and think I get what's going on. In essence, he's been exploring prompt engineering since before it was cool, starting back in 2020. He and others have discovered some of the 'rough edges' of LLMs and have figured out a way to sand them down via prompting. Additionally, they've discovered ways to maximize their abilities, e.g., inference.

The demos are impressive. I'm excited to give it a try, as I have a lot of ideas for personal software tools where I'm the only customer, but not enough time or skill to build them myself.
Can't speak for physical documents in general, but personally I really appreciate paperless-ngx for it's general document indexing/storage. Being able to scan and ocr physical documents (usually using the camera on my mobile phone) is very nice, but I mainly use it with pdfs that paperless automatically fetches, ocrs (if necessary), and tags from my email inbox, or which I copy into a specific local folder which gets synced with paperless.

Getting all my invoices from last year to prepare taxes is now just a simple query in the paperless UI, the result would be about 95% digital and 5% physical documents, probably. Of course I could do all that old-school using filesystem folders, but having all my documents indexed and searchable in a single place was definitely worth the (small) effort of setting it all up and keep it running.

This looks like a well-written introduction, but I’m wondering if using Ash would be a good idea.

I found an article about the philosophy of Ash. [1] The basic idea is to extract a lot of details to configuration and make the code data-driven.

This isn’t necessarily bad, but the result looks superficially like Gradle or Nix, with configuration being done using obscure scripting languages. I hope it doesn’t inherit their flaws?

To be cynical about it, “declarative syntax” is just a way to say that it acts as a config file. There is often no reasoning about config files. You just need to read what all the config parameters do, and if the documentation is inadequate, you need to read the source code of the program that ingests the config file, or perhaps do experiments. In bad cases this can be like attempting to read an interpreter or compiler to understand a programming language. It’s how you get systems that are notoriously difficult to understand.

How does Ash avoid that?

I detect a veiled authoritarian tendency in your posts, or I may be reading it wrongly.

What I read between the lines is that cooperation and coordination on topics such as global warming are only possible with a dominant west?

As a person with western origin I would not want the west to falter or disappear - don’t get me wrong.

But the west does not own the key to bringing good into the world.

Is the assertion of western global dominance the only way to solve world problems? My question is not rhetorical. Just grappling with this question should be productive.

> I'm not excusing what Shell is doing or has done in the past, but the book provides a nuanced take for anyone interested in the topic.

I don't think you can write a comment that says the book is a nuanced take and in the same breath say you're not apologising for them.

Of course the CEO of shell's nuanced take is "they let us do it", when they spent an absolute fortune ensuring that they would be allowed to continue.

I've read the book, and it's not a nuanced take, at all. It sells a picture of "well you said you wanted it, so we just gave you what you want", and sweeps under the rug all of the other parts. For example, the research that these companies did almost 50 years ago that they made absolutely no effort to avoid the consequences of, instead burying them.

There was nothing stopping the CEO of shell divesting in the early 2000's other than greed and growth, and the only reason he wrote a book about it is because it sells.

Eh. Ergonomically speaking, using a bed desk puts you in a poor posture for extended computer work. Your back is unsupported, your neck is craned downward, and your wrists and arms are likely unsupported as well. There might be some weird disruption of the brain's conditioning that the bed is for rest as well if you do this too much. Lotta people have a tough time falling asleep because of an inability to mentally "switch off" at night. Keeping work restricted to a desk area is a sort of magical mental separation that I like.

You’re comparing a monogamous relationship where there is a 10%-25% chance that one of you will have at least 1 extra partner, to a situation where at least one of you is regularly seeking out new partners. All else being equal the risk of contracting an STD is going to go way up.

I think you're spending a bit too much time in the conspiracy rabbit hole. Kim Kardashian's carbon footprint is about equivalent of 50 americans. She also has almost 350 million followers on Instagram. If she manages to get 1% of her following to reduce their footprint by 1% for a year, she undoes more than she emits in a year.

That doesn't mean they're not hypocrites, but have some context. What's actually needed is a change in consumption across the board, and a change in attitude towards impact. The only way that happens is through regulation and education.

I'm going to treat this like a product engineering discussion

User Story:

As a Private Citizen and Engineer, I want a graphical multi-input interface to load, view, interact with and post documents to remote and local HTTP servers ("web-browsing") on any personal computing device. I want web-browsing to have out of the box default security and privacy guardrails that are well documented can be disabled or modified by me the user and only me the user. I want this software to be fully modifiable by any person using tools that are easily, freely available and accessible (aka FOSS). I want this capability to be free at the time of use with no restrictions on amount scope or scale of use.

I think the above describes the product that everyone wants

It sure sounds a lot like Firefox to me

Why aren't we collectively putting our time/effort etc.. into making Firefox the singular and best FOSS browser ever?

A common definition for the purposes of AGI is that it has to be self-aware. But as someone else mentioned, the sci-fi definition is popular too: human-level intelligence.

"AI" is a bit of a loaded word. It does tasks of human-level intelligence well. But as far as being self-aware, it probably scores worse than a car. It's remarkably tricky to measure, because it's trained to act intelligent and use human language, but it's still effectively an autocomplete machine.

An ant is fairly robotic as far as organisms go, but it's also quite self-aware. It can communicate danger or food, it withdraws from death and damage. It likely doesn't have a sense of self, though an ant hill may. Just as our cells don't have a self-identity, but the larger system does.

At no point have you attacked her work. You haven't even discussed it, you just keep asserting that everything she or her husband does is shit without backing that up. You literally started by saying Jo Nova is a liar and then immediately claimed that's not an ad hominem! Every reply of yours has been about the names of the people who commissioned the survey. There's been nothing about the actual results of the poll itself, nothing about the reef measurements.

This sub-thread is really the definition of ad hominem. If you wanted to discuss the actual state of the reefs or the science we'd be discussing that. Instead you got triggered by the name Jo Nova which isn't even in the part of the article I quoted. Great job, you continue to debunk your own position and call attention to how apparently impossible it is to refute theirs.

> Guns literally are part of the founding od America.

Guns are the founding part of basically every country, because in the end “Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun”.

You got the second amendment for the same reason the French got paragraph 35 of the Declaration of the Rights of the Man and of the Citizen of 1793: «Quand le gouvernement viole les droits du peuple, l’insurrection est, pour le peuple et pour chaque portion du peuple, le plus sacré des droits et le plus indispensable des devoirs.», because when their newly founded state relied on people's insurrection to exist, they made sure that they wrote their fundamental texts in a way that guarantees it. Then the political structure of the US made the constitution very stable compared to the French ones.

The second amendment's history was then co-opted by the NRA in their marketing campaign, but this has little to do with what the second amendment is really about, that “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State”. And the current gun culture is in fact mostly “conservative culture in the Reagan era and after”.

The claim that "humans are basically long running LLMs" oversimplifies the complexity of human cognition and experience.

Humans don't just process information; they experience emotions, desires, and subjective experiences that are deeply intertwined with their cognition. LLMs don't have feelings, motivations, or consciousness.

Humans have inner subjective experience, self-awareness, and the ability to reflect on our own existence. LLMs don't.

Humans can adapt to a wide range of environments and situations, drawing from a complex interplay of instincts, learned behaviors, emotions, and rational thought. LLMs are much more limited in their adaptability, since they focus primarily on the tasks they were designed for.

Human cognition has evolved over millions of years and is rooted in a complex biological system, the brain. Yes, both LLMs and human brains process information, but the underlying mechanisms, structures, and functions are vastly different.

I really wish people would stop this sort of cavalier reductionism of humans by saying we are basically LLMs. It isn't true.

> I don't get easily offended, but I've honestly never seen anything more disgusting in my entire life.

That's a pretty bold statement to make. I don't know what kind of isolated world you live in if you think that a Shell ad is the most disgusting thing you ever saw in your life, but I can give you a hundred examples off the top of my head.

One example that might be related to this subject are working conditions in a lithium mine and the purification process. If people knew the price we pay to drive EVs I'm convinced they would stick with oil. Just because it all happens in China and it doesn't affect us directly, doesn't mean it's any less disgusting.

I am also getting seriously tired of this constant need for censorship which is a contradiction in an open-market economy. You should compete, not sabotage. Instead of looking for ways to ban Shell ads on TV, why doesn't the EV industry offer vouchers too?
On a wimpy old desktop running lots of other stuff I got 75000 threads with that snippet (had to increase max_map_count tunable first with sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=500000, a knob well documented for bigger thread counts). Considering that in a real world use case with that much concurrency (such as the "100k threads frequently waiting for 100ms db queries" scenario), I'd be using a bigger machine and there'd also be some actual application context data and TCP connection state dwarfing the thread memory requirements in those blocked contexts, I'll still call virtual threads solving quite rare use cases, pending stronger evidence.

I don't doubt virtual threads are efficient when microbenchmarked against OS threads, but there's only so much to be gained when optimizing a part of the system that wasn't a bottleneck to begin with.

(Also I hope in the scenario we have a beefy DB that can exploit the concurrency available in this many pending concurrent queries per client, and isn't just putting them in ever queue! I guess it could, maybe it has 1000 read replica servers, each with 100 attached SSDs or 100 cores serving from in-memory data)
