We've already done this. In effect, we're running a private "internet" that uses the public internet as one of the communications channels, but does not interact with any internet servers beyond that.

It's really beautiful and freeing to have an "internet" that works really well, even if it is a very tiny one.

I'm in Canada and pro-immigration young demographics liberal leaning are starting to signal against immigration - too much inflows driving costs up (housing which I think UK understands). PoC right-wing politicians and if UK constituent anything like Canadian conservatives, it reflects lots of immigrant PoCs have, fuck you, got mine, attitude towards new immigrants. They didn't claw their way to the west from global south, to "suffer" mass inflow from global south diminishing perks of the west. They like their priveledge as well. Maybe we can sort out cost of living crisis that reduces immigration friction, but I suspect not, because the fuck you, got mine interests runs deep.

US shipyards aren't building enough ships for any sector.

A 2023 report by US Congressional Research Service [1] concludes the global market is saturated, making it difficult for US industry to profitably re-enter the market.

In the news there are ample reports that even the defense sector is not building ships at a rate to sustain the naval fleet.

I wonder if that "theatre experience" would be a significant improvement for most people. I already do this with friends remotely by jumping on discord and hitting play on whatever service we're using at the same time. There more more automatically in-sync solutions out there for sure, but I can't see doing this in VR being more than a novelty that wears out after a few sessions.

So, are Macaroons are like a "blockchain", where each block is an attenuation (ie reducing permission and scopes) of the permission of the original token? So a bearer can get a token, reduce its scope (without talking to the server) and pass it down to other less privileged entities. That's cool!

Agreed. I'd argue with it over and over to enforce things like "Don't reply with text only reply with an image" then it'd say "Ok! I made sure your GPT will only reply with an image and not respond with text! Try it out!" then I'd try it out and the first thing I'd get is "Ah an image of a dog.. let me get that for you!"

Same with numbered lists. I feel like GPTs would be more useful to me if ChatGPT adhered better to those kinds of restrictions.

To be fair, their "About" page says as much: "The Cato Institute is a public policy research organization — or think tank — that creates a presence for and promotes libertarian ideas in policy debates.

Library code sometimes needs to detect fork without being in control of when the application calls fork. Think things like CSPRNGs. The state of the art here is to put the CSPRNG state in a memory region that is set to zero on fork (madvise MADV_WIPEONFORK), instead of using getpid.

> I know the benefits of RTO are true as well (at least in a reasonably designed office, which is not a given nowadays).

I think this is also part of the problem—people are comparing the best designed offices to the worst designed remote work structure. In practice, most offices are not well designed, and many people and companies have good remote work structures. The heart of the problem is that companies are bad at designing either one of those things, so many employees prefer work from home because it places control of their work environment firmly in their own hands.

Sounds to me like you saw Cato (certainly not a “rag”) and went in looking for a reason to disagree.
Everyone should assume that data running across any common communications method (GSM, HTTP, 900MHz etc...) is already stored by the collective global intelligence community.

Should you become a target of state, or state affiliated interests (usually through connection to someone else), then that information is quickly accessed and now you're now part of a "collection"

These data collection sinks are a foundational part of how international communications infrastructure is built, and cannot be taken out without building an entirely new set of communications infrastructure.
We can still make a "good" economy much better
Rent is probably the main reason I have written checks in the last 20 years. Most places, I have the option of using a outsourced service with a terrible website and "convenience" fees, or I can simply hand my landlord a check for the amount. I can tell my bank to automatically mail a check on a schedule. With larger landlords I'm not sure a physical check ever actually exists, but I'm still "writing a check".

Because we are arguing from the our experience in this universe.

In a sense, a self originating physical universe would have to have infinite intelligence for it to be plausible, which we don't see. What we see is intelligence in human, who period and scope of existence is but a very tiny part of the universe.

I guess this is why people think there must be something bigger than the physical universe out there, and I think it makes sense.

I'm aware it should be expected.

The target of my comment is specifically the "well profit=good" crowd on here.

It's to point out the innate contradiction in how we speak about technology compared to the guaranteed outcome in our system.

We're doomed as a species if we keep believing in the magical market as a primary mover for said species. We'll stall in a circlejerk of ads and stock buybacks and never accomplish anything, because any good use for technology is locked behind a gate due to the lack of profit.

Any improvement in medicine is behind lock and key because the pharmaceutical companies "need to make back their investment" despite massive gov funding.

We're killing ourselves here with the spectacle that this system is either working or worth saving.
So basically: law intended to encourage domestic industry via economic pressure has intended effect.

As I replied to a sibling comment. I agree that I can review PRs on my local machine, which is sometimes what I do, but that means that the upside of viewing them directly on the source forge is lost, and I might as well have received a patch. :)

> is saddening as one more evidence that git's monopoly is causing stagnation and unnecessary pain in this space.

I disagree strongly with this type of sentiment. Mercurial works, mercurial source forges exist. It's entirely possible to use them for development. Complaining about git's success despite that feels a bit disingenuous.
I agree, and I actually do have people who are native speakers and not interested in the project that I work with. Hopefully with some time it can be something substantial

If they flew out the peer reviewer to interview the researcher and take a look at their apparatus or if the peer reviewer loaded up a Jupyter notebook and rechecked the analysis there might be some value in peer review. If peer review is just somebody looking at the paper superficially than it’s of very limited worth.

When I wrote my first paper somebody else had done a very similar experiment at another university and we wound method up peer reviewing each other’s papers. Turned out we were using the same bogus data analysis that was being used in 1000s of other papers. I was vaguely aware of this when I wrote the paper but did not feel psychologically safe at all in an environment where the American Physical Society claimed a PhD had a 3% chance of having a permanent career in the field.

Someone who was later to become a titan in the field was at our lab and was crying some nights because he had no idea where he was going to get his next postdoc wrote a paper about this problem more than a decade later after he had gotten tenure in a statistics journal that physicists probably won’t even read.
Remote is the new door
It isn't just kernel level anti-chat, while yes that is an easy thing to point the finger at and valid.

It is also just the chance of a game making some random change that has nothing to do with Anti cheat and that breaking the proton compatibility, this happened with Halo Infinite and others.

The ease of proton also goes out the window once you leave Steam and SteamOS. There are various things out there but if you own games on other platforms it does take more work which is a barrier for non technical people.

Don't get me wrong, Proton is a great piece of technology. But it is still a compatibility layer that will never be perfect. A layer that I don't have to even think about on Windows, everything just works.

It is all tradeoffs.
Forums, surprisingly, are still quite good resources for product recommendations. I suspect it's because forums tend to be _slightly_ nerdier and more focused than more mainstream resources like Reddit. I do a lot of car restoration, and forums are goldmines of product recommendations and information.

>These two types of work were first identified, to my knowledge, by the programmer and essayist Paul Graham

my sweet summer children, private offices for every programmer was a thing at least as far back as around 1980, and at that time we didn't think "oh, we've just identified the need for this."

I was myself already noticing that I also liked working in a "bullpen" (big room, terminals all plugged into shared computer) and swapping jokes, syntax tips, and the like with my neighbors. Actually, when I read about people on here today talking about cli stuff, I think "it only seems a mess to you because you don't have more experienced folks sitting next to you in the bullpen"

That 5% of the time I have to really think hard on something? I do.
Yeah, there's a upper bound to skilled labour production in developing countries unless they massively improve education, but that's also an enviroment correlated with better development and less outflows. But there's plenty of bodies, IMO not everyone has luxury to prioritize skilled immigration like Anglo countries (who themselves lose cream to US), and even Anglo countries might eventually have to settle for less skilled if what is needed is just bodies to keep economy growing. Even if productiity return is subpar.
I find it hard to believe. That means that there were only 750,000 jobs to begin with. Yet, according to BLS, there were 3.45 million IT jobs in 2001. It is not clear if that figure is before or after the layoffs in question, but either way the 40% doesn't work.

… I thought people in physics were pretty sportsmanlike but my understanding was that biologists would stab you in the back for the slightest advantage. I would complain about how hard it was to make it in physics but in biology it seemed almost impossible to get established since young researchers just couldn’t get grants period.
Not only is it a very tough time to be looking for a job, junior positions are particularly difficult (this is generally the case when hiring slows down and companies can buy more experience for less). Doesn't mean you shouldn't look, but definitely set your expectations appropriately. Might be a while before things get better.

The book would be short. The “me generation” takes control, zeroes interest rates after they crash the world economy in 2008. Roll the clock forward 10 years, nimbyism plus importing cheap labor and allowing the housing market to be used as a Ponzi scheme because who cares about younger generations as long as the children of the 60s can buy vanity wineries, and all own multi-million dollar homes, drive corvettes or whatever Biden is ridin.
That is sad to hear, but hopefully you do not feel too much regret over it. 9 times out of 10, your advice would fare better, but you happened to roll the die in an unlucky period.
I'll give a slightly different take on remote work and it has nothing to do with the productivity argument. I go into the office two days a week because I enjoy it. I get to connect with coworkers much better than the days I am at home. I'm able to chat about sports/shows we watch, as well as what is going on in their life outside of work. This is a benefit which has really no tangible benefit to the company, aside from me having more of a connection to my employment. But there is a benefit to this for me. I like the hybrid approach so that I get my days to be social, but then have days to recharge on my own.

On the development side, I also think there are benefits to being in the office. I sit right by my bosses, bosses, boss. He's very busy, but we still have small talk. When it comes time to promotion, there is very real benefit to having that relationship, whether you like it or not. Now I am more goal oriented where I see promotions as a sign of success for myself. Not the case for everyone, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Now the thing I hate about the conversations of working in the hybrid/remote world is the emphasis on making remote workers feel included. I have nothing against people who choose to work fully remote, but a benefit to being in the office is that its easier to connect with people. That's why I do it. Just like there are benefits to working from home, this is one of the benefits of working in office. I feel like this often gets overlooked and people are surprised that they feel disconnected when they aren't in the office. I have become good friends with my coworkers who also go into the office, and barely talk to the who don't.
