Your skills and mindset are going to help boost your career when it comes time to find a new position. It's not really for your employer's benefit, but your own, and the job is just a convenient way for you to learn some new things for yourself rather than doing it at home.

Loyalty to a company isn't rewarded today the way it used to be, so you just have to take that experience to a company with a better proposition at some point.
That was an awesome thing to read. I did not know i needed that right in this moment. Thank you.

Reminded me of a small lyric of a song that very roughly translates to "Drink and empty your glasses, because this is the moment. You can never be sure if you're here tomorrow".

Enjoy life while and when you can my fellow earthlings.

I would guess not most, but that a lot of them do. My assumption is that if there is a third-party service in use, there's a fair chance that a copy of my data is going to the third party in addition to the place I expect it to go. I have nothing but anecdotal information to back this up though.

> I expect our work will change: we'll be able to spend more time thinking about what we are building and less time typing code on our keyboards. But if anything, we're going to become more valuable - because we'll be able to get a whole lot more done.

That would be lovely, but not how efficiency works in a capitalistic society. We can produce cars much faster in a factory then we could in the past due to various factors including automation. This doesn't mean the workers get to take their time and a do a better job. Instead it means they are expected to have a higher volume.

This is what I worry about with the rise of LLM programming (especially as someone who is less than impressed with the actual output I've seen). It's not that I as a software engineer will be replaced by someone using GPT, but rather it's I'll be replaced by another software engineer who doesn't care, using GPT to produce 3x as much "software" at half the quality because the only metric that some will look at is volume.
Not everyone has kids. Even if everyone has kids, most of the time employees will be in different school districts and have different holiday calendars.

I've literally just finished writing a Wordpress plugin with ChatGPT.

It took me a few hours to build functionality that would normally need a paid plugin, and most of that time was spent working out the features. Woocommerce are charging a $50 subscription for basically the same thing.

It's fantastic to be able to have an idea for something and prototype and iterate it rapidly, without having to struggle with the implementation details.

Other people have touched on this, but I think one's ability to be productive in a language is highly correlated with how much of the language (and project domain) they can "keep in their head" at a time.

This is why Go is my (and seemingly a lot of other people's) go-to "get shit done" language, I can write and edit code for hours without having to think about (too many) footguns or hunt for docs and esoterica.

AnimateDiff and QR CN = Craft Videos with Hidden Messages in Plain Sight
Ever squint at those pictures where mountains turn into Ronaldo or kittens charging towards the camera reveal a hidden message if you tilt your head just right?

Now we're kicking it up a notch—into video.

Say hello to AnimateDiff. It's as if image-to-image models just learned how to dance. Drop in a GIF, like a spiral, add a prompt such as "forest in the wind" and there you have it: trees swaying with that hypnotic spiral rhythm. You decide how subtle or overt the effect is.

This trick's done with QR Monster ControlNet — the tool behind those artistic QR codes, but now for videos! Play around with the 'controlnet_conditioning_scale' to dial the illusion up or down (i.e. how much the animation will adhere to the input video).

So, next time you've got a video that needs mind bending illusions or a little easter egg for those who look closer, AnimateDiff's your go-to. Try it out and show us what hidden gems you've cooked up! https://replicate.com/zsxkib/animatediff-illusions

For some inspiration check out the examples https://replicate.com/zsxkib/animatediff-illusions/examples

Full disclosure I work for Replicate and I thought this model had sooo much potential and so I wanted to share it

They're not focused on individuals. Their focus is larger companies and long term relationships. The "co-working" factor isn't there at all.
Sounds like the system is basically set up to enrich loan companies, and to a lesser degree universities.

Who is lobbying for this system to be improved? Because almost certainly loan companies and universities are lobbying against that.
Customers: Give us a touch screen.

Apple: Look at this clunky mainframe terminal. Now here's the truly remarkable touch bar. It amazingly replaces keys you use, and it incredibly doesn't let you draw or use mobile apps.

Kudos to the marketing team. They made it work. People bought this laptop for the touch bar, and a few years later, many of the same people bought upgrades to remove the touch bar.
Human sacrifice is an interesting example, since there are several public school proponents throughout this discussion arguing that good parents have an obligation to send their bad schools to thereby improve the quality of those schools for the other children. This amounts to human sacrifice.
The only downside to this is for people who travel a lot, which admittedly is likely not too much of an issue for most. Or those who like a change of pace and not to be tied to one location. Though there are some local chains that own various spots in their home city which are nice.

I travel for a couple months at a time to different places and while WeWork certainly has a feel that many don't like much, its always a convenient and reliable option when it comes to getting access to someplace with good wifi, amenities etc.

I travel all around Latin America and Spain for the most part, with some trips to other places for relatively long stretches of time and haveing a wework membership in certain cities makes finding a good place to work from much more easy and convenient.

When I'm in a place without a wework I generally do go to a local place, but most large cities have wework available and its just less stress to have to always sign up with a new place, or have to negotiate rates if I'm not staying for a full month or so.
This question is important and needs to be asked because nobody's already solved this problem. We'd be moving into uncharted territory.

How much was from outside the app store?
Apples to oranges. Rust's borrow system is something you couldn't implement in C++, meanwhile C++ has far better allocator and compile-time support and probably more features in total (things like concepts, intrinsic bitfields, etc.).

Importantly (afaik), Rust has far less features which are deprecated and/or in the specification but barely implemented.

Local taxpayers/property owners?

That model doesn’t really work to fund higher education. The public won’t accept doubling or tripling their property tax.
This is something I think about a lot.

I sleepwalk and sometimes have night terrors (where I hallucinate an intruder or spiders on the walls/ceiling). Lately I've been having them almost every day, despite practicing good bedtime habits.

Am I going to have early onset dementia? I wake up almost every morning with a headache from sleep deprivation
> that system will no longer be able to boot into older macOS installs

No, that seems pretty super-user to me. The average user goes forward in versions, not back, and rarely has two at the same time.
This is kind of self-selecting. If your kids are poorly taught and don't have any collegiate aspirations, why are you going to subject them to achievement tests. You're not. So the only home school students taking those tests are those who are going to do well.

Compared to public schools, where most kids are going to take some kind of achievement test. Whether it be the SAT, ACT, or state-level grade advancement test.
All these studies seem like cope.

You drink coffee because it makes you do more things at work / you are a slob without it because of addiction. You are not drinking it because it might make you better in bed or have less dementia in 50 years.

On the other hand we all need to sleep so doing it properly is a net positive

There are probably several local maxima on the distribution curve. At some point having dogmatic, extreme ethics probably hampers getting everything down, and the worst, most cartoonishly evil company also is leaving money on the table. In the less extreme, I think you probably have three schelling points. 1) High-Integrity companies that promote and use the culture of ethics to attract customers and employees. It probably is industry specific if this works. 2) You have "ethics agnostic", but legal" companies that just do focus on near-term profit maximizations and while they may have individuals trying to make ethical choices, the organizational structure won't reward that outside of the whatever profit it generates. Non ethical behavior that gets bad press or crosses idealogical lines, gets dropped fast if not profitable and arbitrarily depending on leadership otherwise. 3) Then you have companies covering up illegal/fraudulent issues, where the incentives are to double-down and reinforce the behavior.

Machine learning is a general use tool. It's like Socrates decrying writing as harmful (which we only know of because Plato wrote it down).

You cannot use any of those weapons you mention as anything other than weapons. LLMs, diffusion nets, and classification systems have general use: in medicine, in business, in software engineering, in science, in marketing. These machine learning systems are hyper-advanced printing presses. I'm sure many of the world's governments consider that exceedingly dangerous.

Firearms, biological weapons, nuclear weapons, and chemical weapons all have a single use: to kill people or destroy things. Can you put ML components in to weapons systems? Yes. But that is the same as controlling weapons systems with software, and we don't outlaw all software because some of it could be used to control weapons systems.

ML components are software. Advanced software, not even close to "AI" or, since we've lost that term to marketers, AGI. This regulation is like asking the team making a compiler for $language to ensure that the compiler cannot be used to make malicious software. It's silly on the face of it.

> If you like Linkage, you might also like Solvespace.

No, I mean Brent Curry's Linkage[1] bicycle design software, not David Rector's Linkage Mechanism Designer and Simulator[2].

You should read Wikipedia article.[0]

N.B. About SolveSpace, as I'm its experienced user[youtube,patreon], I may say next: yes, it could be used for bike mockup, as any other CAD, but it still has a lot of limitations and even does not export correct STEP files yet[3], and in FreeCAD such STEP could fixed only partially.[video]

So, for serious 3D CAD work I highly recommend use FreeCAD (and LibreCAD for 2D CAD work) instead of SolveSpace, and use SolveSpace only as a helper tool like a calc or as a notepad for noting ideas.

About Linkage Mechanism Designer and Simulator, it is only useful for planar (2D) kinematics analyze, and if You are looking an alternative for it take a look on Pyslvs[4], that is in part based on SolveSpace's solver.

The Norks got the resource-rich chunk of the peninsula. They absolutely could make these themselves, they have a huge free labor pool, and old Soviet stuff is well understood at this point.

That they HAVE to is a good sign - means Russia's industrial base can't keep up with demand. Ukraine has been making progress lately, this may portend rapid progress soon.

>It does not stand to reason, since care provided by residents is quite cheap to hospitals from the perspective of labor.

The AMA represents doctors, not hospitals, and doctors benefit from scarcity. Hospitals benefit from residency grants, existing doctors do not.

>Do you have evidence of this lobbying?

Here is a source [1]

>Hospitals have no obligation to hire the residents they produce, so an optimal behavior would seem to be training many residents and not hiring them.

Optimal only if they can make money from the residents. Due to the bizarre natures of US medical reimbursement, resident physicians do not bill for their services [2]. While they may provide value in other ways, they are viewed as cost on the balance sheet. This is further complicated by the fact that hospitals dont want to bear this cost if they can get a grant, or simply hire a doctor away from another hospital. Getting rid of the grants would be a step in the right direction.

Have you done any research about how well different web clients support name constraints? I know that Chrome only recently started respecting Name Constraint on root CAs [1]. The BetterTLS project tracks a bunch of related concerns, but oddly missed this one [2]. I'm wary of this approach since I don't know if the various software I use will enforce it.

I am trying to decide now between Daisy or Teensy for a piece of music hardware I have an idea for. The decision will probably be more about developer experience (so tooling, support, etc.) but I'm at step one on the journey and am having a hard time telling them apart.
No its not. Its horribly broken. I was wondering why scrolling was so goddamn weird, and realized the animations were broken and was fucking with me.

First Benchmark Results Surface for M3 Chip in New Macs
Every contributor can share the product or delivery management role, sure, but it doesn't really follow that 1:1s, career discussions and compensation reviews are also handled by the team, and those are important functions served by a manager.
Yeah, but a lot depends on where they live. From what I heard about the US penal system, someone living there would be better off being homeless than jailed.
Look into Cognitive Distortions, the fancy words for "how people play themselves". I've found that poor management and impostor syndrome are both manifestations of self deception. For managers, self deception takes the form of not listening or not taking seriously to developer concerns, trusting their management's every word rather than using critical analysis in all interactions with their management, and generally "playing the Cover-Your-Ass game" rather than actually being their upper management's objective communication channel to developers and the objective voice for developers back such that both are functionally optimally in respect to the other.
