Yes, obviously the people who offer the virtualized infrastructure are going to need the sysadmins. I'm talking about the majority of businesses and engineers which aren't cloud service providers, but rather customers of those providers.
So? Are you implying that those developers can’t compete with US developers?
> Is it fun to hit <tab> over and over?

Last year, AI was only able to solve the first 3 or 4 problems, so it's really not like using AI takes all human ingenuity out of the equation. What it does is enable you to autocomplete sub-problems that are already solved problems so you can focus on the good stuff. I'd personally prefer if there were 2 leaderboards - one with AI, and one without. Motorcycle races are fun too :)
This used to be especially bad in Google Maps. Just because I'm in Japan doesn't mean that I, the US-ian logged into their English-language Google account, can suddenly read Japanese!

If the Gmail UI is in Japanese I can probably muddle through. If train lines and street names are in kanji I'm probably effed.

(Maps has since improved language detection.)

And what has Cloudfare with Phone apps and SMS to do ? I though they offer web services ?
The universe let it all happen. By using cloud services, analytics, and free email services to allow monoliths to be able to run surveillance on basically every original idea launched since the early 2000s, users let and enabled this to happen. Not only did people open their information and identities deeply to companies like google, they also funded them vastly by caving in once free services became paid services.

On the back end, there is I'm sure a complex and covert dashboard project and monitoring systems to detect ideas and trends that fuel/drive decisions in Google's deeply anti-competitive behavior. There's even a solid chance that legislators are tapped via enterprise Gmail services the government now heartily uses (for example), and Google knows everything that is coming through the pipeline. Everyone was warned by scholars long ago about exactly this scenario, but we keep re-inventing the Titanic and the Hindenburg on hubris and ignorance, it never fails. It's far too late to regulate this away. Google needs to be broken up and diversified into new and totally individually distinct and independent companies for future accountability and segregation of info to be upheld.

The way we measure success is different.
The history of the web is littered with companies that had a big exit and died/became-irrelevant.

SO destroyed itself several times over (first by its own moderators and then by the company itself). ChatGPT just nailed the lid shut.

Success to me looks like a lot of real users paying a lot of real money. SO never really had that. It tried to be a VC unicorn and was acquired by Prosus. Most of Prosus' other investments also look really questionable if we're headed for a global recession like it looks like we are...

The incentives to cheat in a professional competition are more obvious since the money you earn is related to your performance.

In the case of AoC, the only objective incentive I can think about is impressing a recruiter. Maybe it's enough if you're motivated enough.
Also relevant are the difference between overall comp for software engineering jobs in the USA vs Europe.
I think that’s a bit drastic to switch to a diff career entirely. Have you tried looking for software engineer jobs in non-big tech roles like in insurance companies and boring things like that?

They don’t pay a million dollars but still pretty reasonable. Then again I don’t have super high expenses so ymmv

Yep, and in the case of criminals like Bill Gates, the U.S Gov used the antitrust trials to ensure he knew that they own him. It was a strong man operation through and through.

I've answered a lot of Java questions on SO. One of the themes is beginner questions, and a lot are essentially "do my homework for me," poorly researched, or poorly asked. What have you tried? What have you researched? Explain your understanding for why you think what you're doing should work.

There is one advantage to Bay area when WFH: you can go into the office on request. I go into the office every 3 months or so - it is only a 7 mile bike ride. Sometimes things are better handled in person (I don't live in the Bay area). WFH with the ability to get into the office in a couple hours is valuable. Once you cannot get into the office easily if you need to you are worth less even if the need to get into the office is rare.

It's been like 10 years since I looked into the options but at the time I was getting my first cards I was doing the math on various points cards to compare to cash back and what I found was, unless you were really gaming the system, the best you could hope for is roughly 1-2% returns. And the system, whether you're gaming it or not, also requires you to then play in the system so any given card might work out to like 5% if you spend those points on air travel... with a whole host of restrictions including but not limited to a specific airline. I don't have the time in my life to game the system so I can fly marginally cheaper with a specific airline and therefore restricted set of airports and scheduling options.

I know there's a common theme to look at the sizes of tech companies at times like this and ask what do all the people do, but, bear with me here... what do all these people do?

Just taking a few other data points, Twitter (when it was Twitter), had around 7k people, and strikes me as a similar sort of product to LinkedIn, at least the same ballpark. Google has somewhere around 180k (according to public info), and has many products that feel like a LinkedIn sort of size.

Whatever you may think of my other examples, LinkedIn really does seem like an outlier? Am I missing a major aspect of their business? It's a social network, a recruitment service, an ads business. Is that 22k people?

"This is completely unsurprising. The way banks make money on consumer credit cards is primarily through interest and fees, which primarily take advantage of people who are not financially literate. They also take intentional dark UX choices to ensure that collecting on fees or interest is much more likely.

Meanwhile, Apple Card had such high eligibility requirements (I got denied the first time I replied and I'm a HENRY tech worker with an 812 credit score) that the vast majority of the customers in the program are exactly the type of people who are high earning and responsible enough with money to pay the card off each month to avoid interest and fees. Apple made it a step further due to the integration into Wallet that allows you to easily track spending and ensure you can trigger payments in a way to avoid interest.

As a consumer, I love Apple Card, because it makes it simple to get base cash back and ensure I never get charged interest. Clearly it's a bad deal for Goldman Sachs, but I don't have any tears to shed for them."
Yeah, I agree that the trend is pretty bad... And little will fundamentally prevent things to get as bad as the parent describes

Salaries are 1/4th - but you also don't have as high of pension / payroll costs as in US.

At l3 & l4 - when you factor in benefits (including health care costs), 401k matching, payroll taxes - it's probably 1/5th or less.
>The author did not name it, but the state-sponsored actor did (either the one that wrote it, in cases of tool leaks, or the one that first identified it, in the cases of foreign tool identification).

From the article, there is no indication that the name comes from whoever authored the software. Sounds made up, and the way they obfuscate strings in the code makes me think it is not from a state-actor (definitely not one in the west).
No I'm saying just do allocations and box under the hood for async await. Not for rust but for the ideal language people want but is missing.

Rust obviously has a zero cost objective. I'm not directly talking about that.

From A Research UNIX Reader: Annotated Excerpts from the Programmer’s Manual, 1971-1986 by M. Douglas McIlroy at https://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~doug/reader.pdf

"In v1 there was a separate system call to catch each of interrupt, quit, and two kinds of machine traps. Floating point hardware (v3) brought another and no end was in sight. To stop the proliferation, all traps were subsumed under a single system call, signal (v4). The various traps were given numbers, by which they were known until symbolic names were assigned in v7. We have not been fully weaned yet: the numbers are still needed in the shell trap command."

Regarding communications it adds:

"Never, however, was the basically unstructured signal-kill mechanism regarded as a significant means of interprocess communication. The research systems therefore declined to adopt the more reliable, but also more complex, Berkeley signals."

Beats the infamous twitter layoffs.

Sadly being "the most efficient in their department" doesn't always mean anything in layoffs. Whole departments and teams come and go, and salaries are also a concern (e.g. 20 year vet vs 5 year mid level with half the salary)
In Europe I have zero reason to even get a credit card: all bank accounts have an IBAN number, and works with every other bank that is part of the EU banking system. including any online ordering I need to do.

> If you program an FPGA to reproduce a system, there's no emulation...

Without seeing the code, it's impossible to know where Analog's implementation falls on the spectrum of software emulation vs hardware simulation. There is nothing magical about FPGAs that automatically makes anything developed with them a 1:1 representation of real hardware. In fact, there are plenty of instances where the FPGA version of a particular console is literally just a representation of a popular emulator only in verilog/vhdl. In many instances, even the best FPGA implementations of some systems are still only simulating system level behavior. Off the top of my head, one famously difficult case is audio, where many chips have analog circuitry that cannot be fully simulated.

> you might have bugs but there are bugs in hardware too.

Funny you mention this. "Bugs" are actually where this sort of thing starts to matter. Speed runners will exploit timing, precision, overflow and similar bugs which allow them to do all sorts of things. A system that has been fully simulated will exhibit the same hardware/software bugs as the original device. Another example would be fighting games where input and frame timing must be 100% accurate at high levels of play.

Going back to this particular case, I don't believe there is any possibility that this is a 1:1 reimplementation of the n64. Though I'm happy to be proven wrong.
> Food, energy, and housing are what impact consumers the most.

And both food and energy are very chaotic (especially due to geopolitical events: thanks Russia!). A couple of years ago there was much rending of garments over gas prices in the US: now, not so much.

So that is why inflation is often also looked at without those two components because they can vary so widely, even month-to-month (anyone else remember when oil went negative in 2020?).

If you need to go to the office once every 3 months you can fly in from anywhere in the country. No need to live within commuting distance for that.

The optimal policy is to separate the AI and non-AI leaderboards. Having an AI leaderboard will give examples of what AI solutions look like which can then be used when judging potential cheaters.
Emitting microplastic dust into your home.
I remember someone telling me that the only thing you should be allowed to do in a signal handler is to set a semaphore (or similar synchronization primitive).

The actual logic is to be done in the main application. That's a similar idea as the signalfd function the article mentions.

Obviously an oversimplification, but I think, a good rule of thumb.

I think it's great there is new attention to OpenBSD's IPSec stack. IPSec is still widely used and is the defacto VPN tech for many large corporations, even if wg is simpler and easier to deploy. IPSec tends to be built-in to enterprise routers, but I'm not sure if wg is.
> You do not want to know the level of architecture pumping away in the background that collects and correlates disparate data about you together.

I absolutely do want to know. Specifically, I want to know which countermeasures to employ to deny them as much information as possible or, failing that, to feed them fake data that reduces the value they get out of me.
I guess it's not really an apt analogy. It's more like if a the challenge was to get from city A to city B in the fastest time by any means necessary. People would run it until the horse was domesticated, and then people would ride them until the motorcycle or car was invented, and so on.

That's not to say that you can't still do a foot race between A and B. It's just now you have to constrain it, it has become something different.
>> Jewish shops around me have been vandalized (not a hate crime according to the police [1] as opposed to the nazi pug).

This is incorrect. The press claimed it was attacked due to the conflict, but the actual restaurant later released a statement that they believe it was a burglary attempt. Of course, the press didn’t retract their original articles so it was easy to miss unless you follow local news.
"understands" is not, as the author suggests, a matter of "semantics", it's one of the key concepts here.

Objectively, don't we know that GPT-4 was built and trained in a very similar way to GPT-3 and 3.5? Genuine question--that's true right?

I don't know how much you can share, but I'm curious about the solar and battery system.

Are you using silicon cells, multi-junction cells, or something else?

What sort of battery chemistry do you use? It seems like deep battery cycling is a must to keep weight under control, but battery degradation is probably the limiting factor for mission duration. The low temperature in the stratosphere also seems more challenging than what terrestrial vehicles deal with.
That’s not a breaking change.
But this is how it's always been. Someone could have funded AI heavily (and a few did) during the web 3.0 hype but most went with the crowd. Same with streaming video services, social media companies, hardware companies, MMOs, search engines, cloud, etc.
