You need to live, for most of us that means more than whatever hacking we are doing in our garage/shed. If you have independent wealth and no family moving to a cheap area might be a good option. However if you need a job to support yourself where you live must be in range of that job (though many reading this are able to work from home, most of the world cannot). Family means your spouse - where does she/he need to be for work - this limits where you can live just as much (and if both of you have to go to work what jobs both of you can take) . You can force move your kids to a rural area but they will not be happy about losing all their friends (many do this anyway, but it should be a consideration even if you do it to them. Family also means extended family - where does your sister, parents, in-laws live - moving away from them is hard. Likewise everything about family and your kids friends applies to your friends - do you really want to move away from them? There is also safety - the cheap side of town is often cheap for a reason, do you want to wear a bulletproof vest around all the time?

So realistically: cannot move to a cheap house on some land.

Admittedly, I'm a little bit of a snob when it comes to screen quality due to my specialization, but Vizio panels never seemed that good either. It was obvious they were using cheap panels to meet the desired price point.

With that said, most people were upgrading from either a CRT or an early 720p flat-panel and to them even the cheap Vizio panels were a big step up, so I don't dispute that there was a lot of value.

>It wasn't profit that made Audi hire a vocal political extremist

Sure, the problem with these huge wealthy companies like Audi, Google, Apple, etc is that the people who run them are insanely detached from the trenches the Average Joe lives in (see the Silicon Valley satire), and end up hiring a buch of useless weirdos in positions they shouldn't be in, simply because they have the right background/connections and the people hiring them are equally clueless but have the imense resources of the corporations at their disposal to risk and spend on such frivolities, and at their executive levels there's no clear KPIs to keep them in check, like ICs have.

So inevitably a lot of these big wealthy companies end up hiring people who use the generous resources of their new employer for personal political activism knowing the company can't easily fire them now due to the desire of the company to not rock the boat and cause public backlash for firing someone public facing who might also be a minority or some other protected category.

BTW, got any source on the Audi story? Would love to know more?
The US was one of the rare exceptions to the hereditary title thing. Most countries still had them in some form, though the big players today were throwing them off. (the English monarchs never used their power of veto, though they still have a lot of influence on the text of laws)

It's a math/engineering joke. A control system is considered unstable if there is a pole (a mathematical singularity, not Polish person) on the right side of the plane (the complex plane of the Laplace transform of its closed loop transfer function, not an airplane).
> It turned out the distribution (and to some extent, ownership) problems eclipsed every other problem in software.

I have a different perspective. I see it more as a question about runtime environment. We still have 20y old Delphi applications in production, and distribution is trivial, corporate machines have software that just installs the apps the users need based on their roles, and they autoupdate etc. My team still hates them and want to replace them with webapps, even with no distribution or ownership issues.

For us the big issue is the "it's not working for me, what could be wrong?" cases where you have to dedicate half a day or more of expert time trying to figure out which absurd corner of microsoft windows is causing issues on the particular intersection of that one application on that one entirely unique computer configuration (even after corporate management of software/policies etc), and of cause that one particular user, because what could they have done?

Web apps have the benefit that they don't run on microsoft windows, they run on chrome (even if you use edge), and chrome is a much better operating system than windows will ever dream of being. It even fulfilled java's pipedream of being cross platform (well effectively from a user perspective anyway).
> The FPC textmode "Turbo Vision" like ide is fine

Fun fact, recently an attempt to add unicode support to Free Vision (and related units) was submitted to the repository and while that worked, it broke a bunch of things and introduced extra jank (and a massive performance regression, even if you are not using the unicode-aware units) to it (including the textmode IDE, which -e.g.- crashes the second time you try to build something).

But this is in the development version from the repository and there are no plans currently to make a new release soon, so chances are by the time a new release is made this will be fixed.

> I don't see how someone used to Delphi or VB can tolerate building anything with Lazarus. The polish isn't there.

Personally i find Lazarus much more polished than Visual Basic ever was.

Thank you for sharing this. I won't tell my situation, but at least I know that exercising does help me, so CFS is very likely not the problem.
Mate, you want to tell me that a country that had 1/6 of all the resources of the planet collapsed into oblivious because of the Western sanctions and mean Western banks? I'm sorry, I'm not buying it.

Authoritarian/Totalitarian structures always flop. Unfortunately, they also tend to screw millions of lives in between. They also like put the blame on others and gaslight. Like a crazy doomsday cult.

Oh mate... The so-called socialism is a much worse mafia which wouldn't even allow you to call them mafia. The way they disregard human life and any human morals would damage your mental sanity if you ever had to face it. I hope you wouldn't. I wish you all the best and a great life, and hopefully you would never have to face the evil that the socialism is.
AI won't do any of that on its own, only people could do that. The bleak outlook is easy to take, but not sure that it will come true.
It isn't, of course. It was wrong for Lira's pneumonia to be ignored for so long, and the Ukrainian anti-Russian propaganda law is questionable, but if you're wondering why the coverage of Lira is so different from that of Navalny, a man who the Russian govt has tried to assassinate with a nerve agent, this is why.

There's an incentive problem, though.

You can't make the people wait on you paying them until after the resolution, or they have the same insecurity.

But you can't pay everyone that much in damages upfront, probably.

So you may give them a larger payout later, but a fixed payout now so they don't think it's purely a lottery roll, but then what happens if the case is over and you said no _and_ they're blackballed? Do you use them being unhireable elsewhere as evidence of it? And then, if they switch industries because it's more reliable to get a job in another industry, does that serve as evidence they're not blackballed and you should stop paying them?

So you'd probably want to make it some nontrivial percentage tied to the company's pre-tax+expenses income, but then you'd need to worry about them playing games with where the money goes, and also the gov't incentive to then seize huge piles of money.

The tempting answer feels like "kill the company" amounts of money, but in a lot of cases, putting the entire company out of work would be extremely disruptive to the region, and then you'd have other workers resenting anyone who reported it.
These are interesting tests. I wonder how far we are away from AIs solving these (the ones that have no solution) without any special programming to teach them how.
It was meant for the public to see, not to bulk copy it en masse to somewhere else.

Similarly, I don't want my blog posts used to train LLMs. I know they're likely to be since they're published right there on the Internet for anyone to see and read. But my intent was for other humans to see and read them, not for someone to feed them into a regurgitator. There aren't technical means that let me allow humans to read my stuff without allowing LLMs to ingest it, and someone could make the (bad) case that if I didn't want my work to be used to train an LLM, I shouldn't have made it public. Maybe. However, I reserve the right to think someone's an ass for doing it.

Well, no technical hurdles kept the person from copying data out of the network people meant to post it to. It's probably not illegal. It's not a nice thing to do, though.
So again, the point of most security systems isn't to be impenetrable against dedicated attackers. They're supposed to stop relatively casual attackers and to establish that measures had been taken to secure the system. In the case of doorlocks having a simple Kwickset that the Lockpicking Lawyer could get through in 20 seconds is really sufficient security for most people. That keeps out the people rattling doorknobs looking for the person who left their house unlocked and a laptop on the coffee table. It also establishes that attempts had been made to secure the system.

Similarly, the systems that block keywords in usernames on games don't have to be perfect either, some rate of both positive and negative failures are acceptable. The system works to block casual abuse, while users who go out of their way to circumvent the systems really establish the fact that they've actively worked around those systems, which makes the justification for punishment easier.

And we pretty much know that in the case of prompt engineering that by disclosing the prompts that were used to secure the system would defeat the system and people would immediately publish how to work around the prompts. There isn't any use in independent auditing, because its a never ending cat and mouse game. And the failures of the system ARE NOT as significant as the failures in doorlocks or even keyword banning. False positives mean that you can't get what you want out of the system, which is just a failure in usability. It isn't like being locked out of your house or having your stuff stolen. And false negatives just means that the company has to work to improve the systems and whatever embarrassing content was constructed can be handled by PR. Since the company worked to prevent casual abuse and avoided a racist-tay-chatbot situation most people understand that going out of your way to hack prompts doesn't indicate that the company was negligent.

And I don't see the parallels with the Kafkaesque systems that kick you out of systems which have turned into economic necessities like locking you out of your Google or GitHub or Apple accounts. All that is at stake here is that the prompt you wanted answered didn't work. That's just a usability problem.
I don't claim to be an expert in economics, so if you feel like answering please treat me as a noob, but doesn't comparative advantage have the implicit assumption that demand isn't ever going to be fully met for all buyers? The "single most economically important task" that a machine which can operate at a human (or superhuman) level, is "make a better version of itself" until that process hits a limit, followed by "maximise how many of you exist" until it runs out of resources. With assumptions that currently seem plausible such as "such a robot[0] might mass 100kg and take 5 months to turn plain metal ore into a working copy of itself", it takes about 30 years to convert the planet Mercury into 4.12e11 such robots per currently living human[1], which I assert is more than anyone can actually use even if they decided their next game of Civilization was going to be a 1:1 scale WestWorld-style LARP.

If I imagine a world where every task that any human can perform can also be done at world expert level — let alone at a superhuman level — by a computer/robot (with my implicit assumption "cheaply"), I can't imagine why I would ever choose the human option. If the comparative advantage argument is "the computer/robot combination will always be priced at exactly the level where it's cost-competitive with a human, in order that it can extract maximum profit", I ask why there won't be many AI/robots competing with each other for ever-smaller profit margins?

[0] AI and robotics are not the same things, one is body the other mind, but there's a lot of overlap with AI being used to drive robots, LLMs making it easier to define rewards and for the robots to plan; and AI also get better by having embodiment (even if virtual) giving them real world feedback.

I'm wondering if you really mean "2015-era Tumblr" or are trying to evoke pre-Trump liberals on Tumblr (i.e. "manspreading is a micro aggression" pop feminism and teenagers creating fan lore about gender identities) by referring to it as that.

If anything, my experience of Bluesky has been the inoffensive vapid thought leadering of peak Twitter alongside the playful air-headed liberal self-help that is also fairly reminiscent of peak Twitter. In one word: bland. Being able to paint over the offensive things like nazis and porn by sweeping them under your personal rug rather than blocking or banning them only adds to this impression for me.

Twitter, your breath of fresh air, on the other hand is overrun by ChatGPT spam bots and shovelware drop shipping ads worse than the crypto "giveaway" scams and paid tweets of the immediate pre-Musk days and every even moderately left-leaning political tweet is filled with replies describing the violent acts they want to do to that person in excessive detail by accounts that openly post literal neo-nazi propaganda videos of Adolf Hitler denouncing "degenerate art" as a Jewish plot to weaken the German volk and national spirit and going "I don't agree with everything he did but he had a point". Political discussions about the Middle East in turn are split evenly between right wing calls for genocide of all adults and children in Palestine and right wing defenses of Palestinians for being victims of the international Jewish conspiracy to exterminate the white race through mixed breeding with brown refugees.

We used to always call Twitter "the bad place", "hellsite" or "cesspool" before Musk but it certainly deserves those names now more than ever, arguably rivaling 4chan in its political takes although the depictions of gore are mostly limited to uncensored war footage and the porn is decidedly more tame.

The reason Twitter is called a "right-wing cesspool" is not because it's full of right-wing people (that would just make it a "pool"), it's because of the vicious explicit threats of violence and celebration of human suffering propagated by those people. For all its faults, the bland libs on Bluesky don't do much of that.

Granted, my experience of Twitter might be tainted by the fact most people I used to follow in the old days have either left or are no longer active and any time I visit the algorithmic timeline hits me at full blast. And a lot of the edgier posts (not replies) by right wing folks the avalanche of drama RTs throw my way are clearly created to farm engagement in the hope of striking it big if the bluecheck authors make the payout lottery.
I'm working on support for things like S3 and R2.
The issue is that it's easy to let the oil get to hot while you're chopping an onion. I also do the "prep while cooking" approach if I'm really pressed for time or it's really simple, but it always turns out far worse.

Some prep bowls and a bit of time to find things and chop before turning on the heat may make for more dishes to wash and take longer, but it certainly makes the food a lot more consistent and makes cooking less stressful. No more panicking that you've burned something while chopping up a garnish or letting a pot boil over because your back was turned getting something out of the pantry.
