I got a port assigned a few years ago.

I needed to write a justification why the organisation I represented needs a port number (a custom binary protocol), a formal confirmation that protocol has versioning built-in (so we will not request for a new port number for the next version of the protocol), a confirmation that we have a running code implementing the protocol (if I recall correctly, link to documentation was sufficient), and the reasons why we cannot use any of the existing protocols.

It’s not impossible and I think it’s totally doable for redis unless the port is already reserved for something else.

And you depend on doctors and sewerage workers and programmers and garbage men and police officers and soldiers and physicists and so on. Is it selfish not to become all of these things yourself?

As long as you participate actively in society by working, you are doing your part and are not being selfish.

I appreciate baking since it's very algorithmic. It's typically a lot more precise than general cooking, and I love that about it. Just follow the steps, like my brain has been trained to do, except this time I am the runtime.

Don't talk to me about cake decorating or any of that side of things - couldn't care less and will make a mess with a piping bag.
Well, the systems are way more interconnected today, esp over less stable interconnects (internet!), with nothing really being done serially. That in itself makes programming multiple times harder. Add to that that devs are usually dealing with external, badly documented interfaces (eg. The Cloud, frameworks...), and it's impossible to know how something will work without trying it out (just like they had with the error handling bug they hit: now multiply that by 1000 or 10000 of today's usual external API usage in a non-trivial program).

But the other missing piece to this is how much time did this actually take (there is an implication "designing" took its sweet time)? Would the modern way of coding on a computer be faster with the same number of incidents?
Android development seems to be universally acknowledged as a backwater -experience compared to other platforms.

I don't get why you'd do this. This sounds like a false choice. If you want a company to deliver racks with hardware to you, plenty of companies do exactly this. You don't need cloud for that.

The choice is not between "do all hardware and building" and "cloud". There's a whole spectrum in between. In fact, it's quite hard to do the building. You can go colo (building + power + electrical done by vendor, optionally network), dedicated (servers done by vendor), hybrid hosting, hyperscaler (you get VMs), ...

As soon as you move above colo, you don't have the hardware issues mentioned here. Or, well, you do have issues, but you "just" file a ticket.
I don't think copilot makes you 10x more productive. Anyone who has used it can tell you that's nonsense. 30% more productive is way more realistic, but even 30% is clearly worth it from a financial point of view.

If you're a company the only reason you should have for not buying Copilot for all your employees is legal concerns, which are definitely still not resolved. Once they are though it's going to be pure masochism to not use Copilot (or similar).

Like not paying for CI, or not using Git, or not using an IDE. You can totally still do it but you're going to suffer compared to the competition.
To me, you're not qualifying your definition well enough. For how long does it have to be non-functioning in order to cease being classified as a vehicle?

For example, a car that is temporarily in an auto shop for repairs? If your intent is to say that it's no longer classified as a vehicle until it is once again functional, then I think you'll find that your definition deviates pretty significantly from a conventional dictionary definition (a device intended for transport).

That's a relatively large desync which will only hinder consistent communications with the vast majority of English speakers.
That plus a thousand special cases, that are quite often absolutely meaningless to implement in code, but still have to be done.

What do I mean by that: I work for big corporations mostly and quite often there is the average case that is about 90%-99% of all incoming work.

Then there is a myriad of special cases some of which happen every third year on a blood moon, if an eclipse is happening at the same time and the witches chant in the woods...

Instead of managing these unicorn-cases by hand, they have to be implemented in code and lead to bugs and a ton more code to review and maintain.

Speaking of maintenance... oh, don't get me started on that one, it's a sore spot!

I wonder if Rosling’s conclusions are confounded. The human and environmental systems in which we swim are complex, not simple. Education being the key driver of population numbers strikes me as overly simple.

> Instead of selling it to potential customers, they destroy the cupcake and claim it was a tax-deductible expense

But isn’t that thing actually common practice? If a bakery accidentaly ruins a batch of cupcakes they toss them to the bin. And of course the ingredients and labour involved in those cupcakes will count as an expense. They had costs (some flour, some eggs, some employee time) and they had zero income from those burnt cupcakes (or even worse, costs associated with cleanup and disposal!).

When you put it this way it sounds quite ordinary. Do you think I should take away some different message from your analogy?
That looks like a negative correlation.

I've been saying it for quite some time. The end game of ChatGPT (and similar) services is:
1- Get people used to them so much they can't function without them (without massive drop in productivity, inconvenience etc)
2- Raise the price 3 orders of magnitude

That's too narrow a view of evolution.

A better way to frame it is: which group is more likely to propagate their genes and have more ancestors 100/1,000/10,000 years in the future? Is it the group that can afford to have more children and successfully raise them, or the group that can't afford large families?

It doesn't matter if the cause is biological or socioeconomic. Just because humans have science, medicine, economics, etc. doesn't mean evolution has "stopped".
Raising kids is hard work.

I would bet this plays a large part - people today respect the difficulty in a way past parents previously did not. Birth rates are certainly declining but I would bet the rates of accidental infant/toddler death are down as well.

That said, I personally know parents that are just taunting SIDS with the way they ignore infant sleeping best practices even though they’ve read the books to know better.
While I agree with you on the principle, I would not blame anyone who lies in such a BS market to be honest.

If for a person, the choice is between not being able to pay rent because they had 6 years of experience in a given stack instead of 8, vs. exaggerating in their cv, I dont think it is reasonable to expect complete honesty.

Also we all know most of the companies are often very dishonest, so why should we expect complete honesty from the workers?
> At A Level, young women achieved higher results in total than young men. However, subjects in which male students outperformed female students included several subjects taken by relatively few male students, such as Modern Foreign Languages, suggesting that the young men taking these subjects are relatively high achievers.
These findings may suggest that low achieving students have been filtered out by this stage, or that male students choose, on average, just those subjects in which they are likely to perform well.

As another commenter pointed out, you’re essentially betting heavily on tech, which may or may not work.

But why bother picking individual stocks if you can get lower expenses and higher rebalancing efficiency for your factor tilt by picking a tech ETF instead? You also wouldn’t have to count on Nvidia, Google and the like retaining their top positions forever.

Or what we really need is another approach to either the hardware problem (more efficient chip designs that may be entirely different from existing ones), or the software problem (more efficient ML core models). The latter is obviously more likely to happen, rather than the former.
> does Apple itself even use the term "smartphone" anywhere?

Yes, they do, but AFAICT only in phrases similar to “eligible trade‑in smartphone”.

Curious: why was this flagged? Because it was a duplicate?

It cannot be the only effect, since this pen-and-paper effect manifests itself in other places: when you kook at old industrial systems' plans (nuclear power plant in the example I have in mind) you're very surprised to see how small the number of revision is for the plans: because it's very tedious to re-do the entire plan from scratch by hand, people used to be extremely cautious when design them. Today with CAD software, revisions are cheap and producing half backed plans that need later correction is the norm.

Maybe the new way of doing thing is still more efficient in the end, but maybe not.

It's more likely you're imagining an over simplified version of Rosling's "conclusions".

He has presented hours of thoughts on data spanning multiple decades from countries across the globe and comments identified correlations.

Education being highly correlated with reduced population growth is a data confirmed observation, and not a declaration of prime causation.
Last week, The Information reported that OpenAI is developing an AI agent to “automate complex tasks by effectively taking over a customer’s device”.

It fits into a broader trend, similar to what the Rabbit R1 is doing, which is teaching computers how to use our devices for us: perform cursor movements, click buttons, etc. Now, you might think that is a rather bad idea, and it probably is.

That said, the emergence of AI agents, powered by generative AI, represents a new generation of assistants that are more flexible, can do stuff for you, and in the near future may even act on your behalf.

> It’s a liability only if consumerism is your only value.

It's a liability if it's a liability. A consumerist liability is buying a brand new car with a loan if it seems like my income might disappear before the payments do. Not knowing how long you'll be able to keep paying rent in the place you've spent your entire adult life is just a logical consideration. Though people are obviously choosing to be consumers too, often it's just the basics that seem out of reach.

However, if you've always wanted kids and it's always been your biggest priority, and there's never been any contravening forces that would make you question that, and you've lucked out and found someone who's completely on board with that, and your income has been stable, and your expenses are manageable, and your parents are nearby and still together, then sure you're choosing to consoom over having kids.
At this point, having a realistic picture is more about weeding out the fake AI/ML generated users. It's crazy how many fake profiles and applicants there are out there, but luckily most use the same type of professional headshots made by some generative model.
Not my intention, sorry!

Big organisations are stable, mostly due to the often frustrating inertia and lack of risk taking coupled with their existing, mature revenue streams.
> It says nothing of what companies will actually do.

Wallstreet rewards any company with AI plans. It is clear what the C suite will do.

There will be no legal issue except for some very specific paranoid companies. Plenty of them host their code in private github repos and manufacture in China. It is all standard practice. Generally nothing is kept that close to heart.
Open Source Software has a hugely important factor that we don't talk about enough, IMHO: it promotes standards that are actually accepted.

Think about it. A new image compression standard comes out. What are the chances that it becomes widely accepted and used if there isn't any Open Source (or at least free) tooling to compress and decompress it? And just "free" might not be enough, because lots of folks need to incorporate it into their own software (image viewers, browsers, chat clients etc.), and they wouldn't take that risk if they could link it, but maybe not apply a security fix if the vendor didn't react quickly enough.

Image formats are a relatively benign example, but deeper in the stack, non-interoperability becomes much more of an issue. How many programming languages without Open Source implementations became really successful? How about OS APIs? Do you think we would have somewhat compatible libc and syscall landscapes without Open Source BSD distributions and Linux?

And then there's version control, implementation of communication standards (bluetooth, USB, but also TCP/IP stacks).... the more I think about it, the more horrifyingly fractured the software world would look without OSS as a unifying force.
Orbit doesn't require you to change any code at all, according to their readme
It might also have to do with how programming was taught to a certain generation? At least from my own experience, when I was at university OOP and UML was all the rage, so we had to specify through diagrams in fancy diagram editors, then generate the code from that, and then still re-write everything by hand because it never really worked out quite that well.

I never touched UML again after university ...

If I'm so unlucky that I get no hits in my picks, I get replaced by an AI, then hopefully the 30% in S&P500 will continue to feed me. :D

I do think that if an AI is powerful that it can replace me as a software dev, it should boost the stock market well beyond any 2024 bubble.
> Because it's the complete opposite of being a PhD student I'd imagine.

I'd rather guess the following relationship: IQ is positively correlated with "openness to experience" in the five-factor model: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Five_personality_traits

Concerning this particular trait: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Five_personality_traits#Op...

"Open [to expererience] people can be perceived as unpredictable or lacking focus, and more likely to engage in risky behaviour or drug-taking. Moreover, individuals with high openness are said to pursue self-actualisation specifically by seeking out intense, euphoric experiences."

It would be absurd to downlevel these folks.

In which direction? Both make sense to me. A good employee might adapt to their new environment quickly and in that case obviously they should then be levelled up appropriately. But there is nothing about being Staff/Principal at a BigCo that says you're going to be anything special as a senior in a startup - in fact the opposite can be the case for reasons others have mentioned - and there is nothing about being an excellent contributor at a startup that says you're going to navigate the scale and the politics of a BigCo effectively. It seems reasonable to start a new hire at a level where you would expect they do have the required skills (including soft skills) and then look to make more effective use of them if and when they've settled into the new environment.
He (probably) wasn't doing that for $$$ reasons, he (probably) was doing it for religious reasons. It's not a rational trade at all. As religiosity dies down, the government will have to rely on making it rational to have kids again instead of relying on priests pounding their pulpit and telling young people it's their duty.
