I read "STEM shortage" as "shortage of excellent software developers". The STEM shortage was after my time in uni, but what jobs actually need physics? I studied physics, too, and as far as I could tell my options were get a Ph.D. and then postdoc until a professor died, become a quant (might require a Ph.D., since it was the math that was attractive), teach high school physics, or do software.

As it turned out, I ended up with a job doing high-level tech support at a company selling measurement equipment to engineers, so they wanted people with a science/engineering background. I think physics is great to study, but more like another poster said, like studying classics if you want to write literature.
High voltage isn't necessarily dangerous. Static electricity is high voltage, but very low amperage and therefore relatively low power.

Have you used these before? I am going to take on a project reupholstering my car's interior. It would be amazing to sew in some lights where you'd normally put in piping, make it match the rest of the interior. Mostly curious about the durability of sitting in a seat thousands of times. Wouldn't need to be as flexible as say something you put in clothing... But it would look really cool. the one trick that the manufacturers haven't done yet with lighting...

I know quite a few married couples that will rarely discuss finances with each other, they definitely won't combine money aside from transferring each other payments through Venmo. I've seen one Venmo money for dinner and later that night the other will Venmo money back for ice cream. It's bonkers to me and my wife. Some of them have no idea how much debt/savings each other have. That sounds like one rough patch from a disaster.

In your first two examples, Google is still not providing an alternative to the original content, the people who have uploaded the content are and they are doing so illegally.

Also, Google can and will delist stuff that is violating copyright if you report it: https://transparencyreport.google.com/copyright/overview

The Google Books thing is a lot more interesting I think. I guess the idea is that Google is acting as a Library, and they are lending you the book? I'm not sure how I feel about this and I would need to do a lot more research on it before having a strong opinion.

The other big difference here is that you can't use the content linked from Google search as if it were your own. If you Google search "nes emulator in javascript", and you get a link to a Github repo, you can't copy paste the code as if it were your own, and even basing your code on what you have saw could be risky depending on the license of the repo. LLMs are acting as a sort of search engine, pretty similar to how Google search does, but people are using the output from the "search" as if it were their own work that they have full rights to!

essentially java boilerplate.

as a engineering consultant, the most valuable assets are the reports I can pull and reuses.

while original research and academics should reference text, even M&P should reference where it came from.

knowing what deviated and what adheres to any given procedures are still important.

Error bars would help. Also, defining what red versus orange means. Are the damage assessments consistent across domains, e.g. should we drop climate change as a priority to focus on novel entities?

If the purpose is to prompt policy action, I'd start by constraining the time horizon: probable damage within 10 to 20 years. Then, dollarise it. Give it error bars. Now you have a price tag an activist can talk about when convincing voters to bear a given cost. You also have a device that builds credibility--you can look back and quantify the cost of not mitigating.
You equivocated them.

My original comment was more about why the other commenter got downvoted (it was irrelevant pile-on), not trying to take a strong stance here, but I can see how it came across now. I obviously have my opinions, though (a bit more so now after the budget phone experiments of 2023…)

> simply can’t afford

“simply choose not to afford” is more correct here. YouTube is in no danger of shuttering due to lack of revenue and financial support from the corporate entity that operates it. Instead, that entity is choosing to weaken YouTube by layoffs, rather than accept a decrease in net revenue after expenses. This may or may not stem from US taxation changes, but it is regardless critical to distinguish between cannot (e.g. “the business will collapse from debt if we don’t layoff workers”), versus, will not (e.g. “profitable business chooses to layoff x% workers rather than reduce profits x% due to tax law change”), when considering these tech layoffs. YouTube is not under threat of collapse due to lack of funding, so the latter applies.
Obv this is anecdotal, but I graduated in 2023 from a T10 CS school and it was not very challenging. Most of my friends in college agreed that besides 1 or 2 classes, we never had to work late nights or seriously stress about passing a class. I wasn't a 4.0 student, but I got a 3.7 with very little studying. University is getting a lot easier, and I genuinely think that as long as you are trying to ask the professor questions and for help, you cannot fail a class.

If the keyboard is an Apple Keyboard (likely because it's an iMac) connecting it to the computer via the included charging cable will associate it with the computer. I'm not certain, but I'm willing to guess plugging in either the keyboard or the mouse will reenable bluetooth so the peripherals can be used (the mouse cannot be used while plugged in as I recall the design doesn't allow it.)
You can run it on a different machine. I've set up my desktop to host ollama, and use it from my laptop just fine.

Not that they wouldn't use patterns mentioned on top of subscriptions. But that isn't necessary. Ongoing development and ongoing play as a focus.

If, for example, Quake 3 Arena was a subscription model and ongoing development was happening, more maps, okay styles etc. I might still be subscribed to such a thing.

It does not. I never ever said or implied that self checkouts are the only process going in economy that would influence how many people are unemployed. "My theory" would predict "ever-climbing unemployment rates" only if:

- self checkout was only thing going on in the economy,
- cashiers represented overwhelming majority of employees.

Otherwise you are making overly large prediction from a single small data point.

-------------

Let me say opposite theory: if self checkout would be "freeing people for more useful jobs", cashiers salaries would be raising prior self checkouts. As employers would compete for people, they would pay cashiers as much as those "more useful jobs".

That did not went on. These were and are minimum salary jobs.
I had a family member do a similar commute, iirc it was from the Bay Area to NM. Luckily the real estate was a lot cheaper in NM, so he was able to lock down a month-to-month very cheaply there. He would live and commute near work in NM, then return home to his wife on the weekends. I'd imagine it was stressful in multiple ways.
When a human solves these problems, you might state a "step" in natural language. Like, "apply a polar transformation to this diagram". But that same single step, if you translate into a low-level DSL, could be dozens of different steps.

For an example, check out this formalization of a solution to a non-geometry IMO problem:

https://gist.github.com/mlyean/b4cc46cf6b0705c1226511a2b404d...

Roughly the same solution is written here in human language:

https://artofproblemsolving.com/wiki/index.php/1972_IMO_Prob...

It's not precisely clear what counts as a "step" but to me this seems like roughly 50 steps in the low-level formalized proof, and 5 steps in the human-language proof.

So, my conclusion is just that I wouldn't necessarily say that a 150-step automated proof was inelegant. It can also be that the language used to express these proofs fills in more of the details.

It's like the difference between counting lines of code in compiled code and a high-level language, counting the steps is really dependent on the level at which you express it.

Most citizens don’t support the war, yet it goes on. Calling is pillow talk designed to appease the people into thinking they matter.

And what do the showers matter when two people have unilateral control over more water than the entire city? The voters have no power, they are just convenient scapegoats. Not to mention all the water we let drain into the ocean every year, just to have Gavin yell about the reservoirs being low the next, while he laughs all the way to the polling office, accompanied by the two senators he unconstitutionally appointed… “voters have power”. It’d be funny if it weren’t so terrible.
Citizen's United is a big one, but there are also rulings labor laws, restricting federal agencies ability to regulate safety. It's so ridiculously skewed. You want to get a look at their logic, they enable states to outlaw abortion and in the same breath they prevent states from regulating guns. There is no principle beyond enabling the powerful to control and exploit as well as perpetuating the culture wars.

2. You always have a heads up to how long to your next meeting, or how long left in your current meeting

3. I can schedule/find time with coworkers in 2 clicks

4. I can see my coworkers timezones

5. I can replace calendly for sharing my availability.

But none of them have to do with Notion so far.

Launch Loop
Years ago I worked with a guy that was a flight attendant and a systems engineer. He lived in Phoenix, Arizona, woke up early every morning, worked the same flight to San Diego, California, then took a taxi (this was before Uber) from the airport to the office, worked his engineering job (government contract work; the hours were very predictable), then took a taxi back to the airport and worked a flight home to Phoenix. He said his day was usually about 12 hours, which isn't too bad. I always respected that way of 'supercommuting'.
I exited a traditional mechanical engineering role because 90% of my job was not engineering. I loved what I covered in undergrad, but most "engineering" jobs were 80% project management / paper shuffling / oversight, with a bit of engineering tacked on.

My last job was BA/QA work at an engineering software company, and it was by far the most "engineering" I'd done at any job. Even there, though, it was only about 1/3 of my responsibilities. I got good enough at the software stuff that I qualified for a 25% pay bump by moving industries. Year for year, my software experience pays more than my engineering experience.

Hell, if you're listing off important US map pin-points, you can't beat DC. But people would still rather live in NYC (according to the market). But even if NYC had the most destinations, that's just another way of saying "density", which is my entire point.

And I'm not talking about personal differences, like family. Paris isn't a world class city because my mom lives there. I get that individuals have reasons to live places. I'm talking about populations, not people.
>"We"

>"Humanity"

There's something profoundly saccharine and inaccurate about this conceit.

The conception of being universally connected in any substantial way to the the "human species" seems extremely artificial and doesn't describe real power relations in a useful way.

I think it's more useful to explain what's happening and why it's happening, e.g. "The world has become x% unsustainable due to the actions of y, caused by simple incentives and lack of disincentives".

Then again, that also feels fake because A) "the world" has zero inherent meaning, it only has any meaning because humans deem it so and B) "sustainable" is from the perspective of thinking that human life must keep growing on the scale of billions. Even global catastrophe would likely retain a core population from the perspective of some kind of human maximalist.

Generating hypotheses upon the basis of dubious moral priors really causes some serious accuracy issues. Much easier to stick to "don't murder/torture people or animals", i.e. something literally everyone agrees with.

Most of the country is not as dense as NYC, and the less dense the area, the less public transit makes sense.

This is true from both an economic and an environmental standpoint: not only is it expensive to run public transit when fewer people use it, it’s also less environmentally friendly because you have big heavy buses and trains spending a lot of time driving around with few people riding them.

That said, I would certainly like to see better public transportation in many areas, but it’s not a silver bullet. The idea that EV infrastructure is a waste of money because we just need more public transportation is pretty preposterous, IMO.

Should the judicial branch have greater say than a specialist when considering specialist topics?

Such as food safety, medical procedures, drug approvals, thresholds for minimizing the environmental impact of millions of chemicals, aircraft maintenance standards, and thousands of other laws maintained by agencies.

Seems foolish to burden the courts with the additional work when they (should) just defer to the specialists when the topic comes up in court.

Most organizations are there to benefit the organization or leader not the members or public.
The incentive to compete in the IMO is that it's fun to do math contests, it's fun to win math contests, and (if you think that far ahead as a high schooler) it looks good on your resume. None of that incentive will go away if the computers get better at math contests.

> The "the sky is falling" worldview is insidious and self-reinforcing. You can't convince a doomsayer that things might actually wind up okay.

Despite not hoping much about ending up ok, witnessing the kind of ideologies and literature that young adults are submitted to is creepy. It’s total doomsday, but with leftist ideologies, it gives them hope for nothing and works hard to leave them suicidal at best.

“How to survive beyond the n-th extinction” and the likes of titles, books, short films, ideas, are classics of this ideology and makes me not regret slamming the door at it. Yes, scientists might be right. No, they’re not unbiased, yes they can exaggerate a bit, and the megaphone amplifying the negative thoughts just before elections doesn’t help at all.

So much of supposed “scientific conclusions” are just exaggerated due to systemic issues in communication, that, no, it can’t be totally trusted, and yes, there is hope that we’ll be here and fine in one century, yes we should certainly pollute less, but no, we shouldn’t suppress all factories and eat bugs instead.

Some extremists enjoy hearing doomporn. It works the same on the rightwing, with other topics. But we should really quit taking it as a fact, and start factchecking and criticizing those articles.
