Ticks carry a lot more than Lyme though, and many of the diseases they carry can have long-term or life-long effects. Even with a Lyme vaccine I think it'd be worth it to take these if you're gonna be in a tick-heavy area.

I think there is some under-explored issue in the liability, but I don’t know enough about business law to have a useful opinion on it. It seems interesting, though.

Even if an LLM and a human were equally competent, the LLM is not a living being and, I guess, isn’t capable of being liable for anything. You can’t sue it or fire it.

Doctors have to carry insurance to handle their liability. I can see why it would be hard to replace a doctor with an LLM as a result.

Typically engineers aren’t personally liable for their mistakes in a corporate setting. (I mean, there’s the whole licensed Professional Engineer distinction, but I don’t feel like dying on that hill at the moment). So where does the liability “go?” I think it just gets eaten by the company somehow. They might fire the engineer, but that doesn’t make the victim whole or benefit society, right?

Ultimately we’d expect companies that are so bad at engineering to get sued so often that they implement process improvements. That could be wrapped around AI’s instead of people, right? But we’re not using the humans’ unique ability to bear liability, I think?

Well, "meaningful" is relative. I don't disagree with your overall point necessarily, though I strongly prefer remote work myself.
I'm so old that when the (single, rotary dial) phone rang, you dropped everything and went to answer it. No answering machine, no caller ID and no junk calls. If it stopped ringing without being answered, you had no idea who was calling or why.

I'm so old that when you called a company on that phone, a human answered. Every time. And that human was used to dealing with humans, and empowered to help.

Heck, I'm so old that when the (single, rotary) phone rang "with the wrong ring pattern you left it alone because it was for the other party on the party line.

I just started a new job that's hybrid. Based off my job search I would say the overwhelming majority of IT has gone hybrid. Generally, they want you in the office 2 to 3 days a week. They flex on which day you can work from home.

I find this to be a nice balance. My last job was full time remote, and I was there during the pandemic when they transitioned to that model, and I'd say we lost something. But it's hard to say what it was that we'd lost and certainly not easy to quantify it!

There are certainly advantages to bringing everybody together and there are advantages to being heads-down and getting stuff done - which is easier to do remotely. I think people are banking on hybrid to balance out these approaches. We'll see.

There's a difference between a term being imprecise and being equivocal. Yeah, we use the term "think" in different ways. But it primarily refers to the operations unique to the human intellect with which we're all familiar.. deduction, analysis, synthesis, judgment, deliberation, abstraction, etc.

The thing that's special about these operations is that they deal with immaterial concepts. What's right? What's good? What's true? And so on. Computers have never achieved this and they never will, because they are only material arrangements, and so can only handle things on the material level. The human mind is clearly not reducible to that, because it can handle purely immaterial concepts.
> How is strictly fewer options a good thing?

When the options are narrowed into precarious work such as most (or even all) of the "gig economy" bullshit, have more options of precarious work is not good overall for a society. It erodes the standard employment relationship, it's cheaper for employers so companies not relying on precarious work are in disadvantage which pushes more people into precarious work, creating a death spiral to proper secure employment in more sectors of society over time.

I’ve been using MXRoute, which is about as inexpensive as one could expect (~$40/year for a storage tier, unlimited domains and accounts up to that storage limit). It’s been rock solid reliable for the last few years, but it does require a bit of DNS knowledge to really setup properly.

They target gamma-aminobutyric acid chloride channels (GABACl) that aren't present in mammals. There is a relatively narrow therapeutic index in animals, but generally felt to be safe at approved doses. They're given to millions of animals, so we'd probably know if there was a problem.
Cycling is great! But it doesn't eliminate the need to go to the gym. People who rely on cycling as their only form of exercise tend to suffer from low bone density and unbalanced muscle development. Everyone should do resistance training as well.

Honestly one of the fastest and least "bloated" pieces of software in recent memory, way more responsive than something like OpenProject (which I use as a self-hosted Jira replacement for my personal needs), as long as the feature set is enough for you. I did rather enjoy the cost reports of OpenProject, as well as having all of my usual epics and whatnot, but kanban works better for smaller projects than scrum.

People not living in Paris can't even grasp how much the city has changed in just 6 years. Starting a bit before 2020 but massively accelerated by the covid situation (and public transport saturation). You could barely cycle safely before and now it's hard to not find a bike lane.

Because of the fast pace, of course not everything is perfect but we have to celebrate this as much as we can.
There might be external effects happening at the same time here.

I grew up on a island with a lot of ticks. Being a kid and spending time on fields and in forests, we constantly had to remove ticks before heading home.

But now 2 decades later, visiting the island again as an adult and expecting having to do the same after walking around the forest, we didn't find a single tick on ourselves, when it would easily have been a couple of ticks each in the before-days.

So many parameters being different though, so hard to reach any conclusion, maybe my blood is less attractive, maybe we weren't physically intensive enough, maybe the wrong season, but maybe there are other chemicals at play too that wasn't there before.
AFAIK, they do next to nothing in terms of software support. It tends to come down to the community and the manufacturer of the SoC they use to make this stuff work. They're just getting cheap hardware in the hands of developers and hackers and trying to get people on-board. The RK3399 in the Pinebook Pro is very well-supported by now, though a bit old and low on RAM. I would trust that most RockChip stuff will eventually (maybe 3-5+ years after availability) get good support. The QuartzPro64 should be coming along slowly now, and I imagine once it's better-supported we'll see a Pinebook Pro 2 with the same RK3588. Similar to how we had the RockPro64 before the Pinebook Pro. The PineTab 2 and PineNote base off existing RockChip stuff (RK3566) they're already using in some SBCs (Quartz64), so we should see a lot of their devices improve at the same time.
For the same reason I expect the Orange Pi 3B and 5 Plus to mature with the current latest Pine offerings. As long as you stick to stuff with these popular chips, there's a decent chance the devices will become usable eventually. I would avoid anything too new or obscure when getting ARM devices.

> In my opinion it is not audacious at all to reject the idea that corporations should intentionally pursue societal goals or claim to act out of a sense of duty.

I still find it somewhat silly to reject the idea that a corporation (run by human beings) shouldn't intentionally be evil for the sake of maximizing profit, but I do understand that this is a fairly common Friedman-esque point of view.

But, even so, I guess "duty" was the wrong word for me to use. I more meant that if a corporation does NOT benefit society, we should expect the corporation to stop existing. So, in that sense, there's a "duty" (existential requirement) to benefit society.

> Of course we want the effect of what corporations do to be of net benefit to society as a whole. But this cannot be based on their intentions or sense of duty. It has to be based on the systemic effects of them pursuing their own (possibly enlightened) self interest within the framework of the law.
>
> It is for governments to make sure that these effects are beneficial and to intervene when they are not. So the asymmetry I see is that capitalism is a tool of society, not the other way around.

I feel like you're circling back around to almost disagree with yourself. Several comments back in this thread someone made a point about "unintended consequences" of the law and applying "game theory" logic to it, and another commenter replied that the companies in question could also have seen the law coming if they misbehaved too badly. That commenter asked if the "game theory" logic shouldn't go both ways, and that we should then blame the corporations for the regulation because the government is just doing what governments do.

You replied that the argument does NOT go both ways because the roles of government and corporations are not symmetric.

But, what you're arguing here seems to be consistent with the view that the "unintended consequences" and "game theory" logic DOES go both ways. You acknowledge that it is a government's duty to intervene when corporations are not benefiting society, and you also say that corporations will pursue their own self-interest within the framework of the law.

I don't mean to put words in your mouth, but the only way I can resolve this asymmetry in my mind is to have a framework where corporations doing things that are bad for society is okay, because the government is supposed to stop them; but if the government is unable to fully stop them from being bad, then it's STILL not the corporation's fault, but the government's...

It just sounds like we've gotten lost in the abstractions of corporations and governments. At the end of the day, these are decisions being made by fellow sentient human beings, and if a corporation's humans make some evil decision, I refuse to let them off the hook with "well, free markets" and "they have no choice but to maximize profits".
The bigger they are, the harder they fall; is a saying for a reason. There is no such thing as “too big to fail” otherwise the East India Trading Company would still be in operation.
You should try Factorio. It is an awesome game where you can experience building up a super-simplified version of our economy from scratch with the final goal of putting up a space rocket together. Even with god-like capabilities of your character and the unreal possibily to fully automate every process, it can be mind-bogglingly hard to achieve just this simplified economy to work smoothly towards the end goal. A great way to see that the huge part of that complexity is also logistics and ecology concerns, not just production!
> In summary, I believe there would still be a market for Software Developers in the foreseeable future, though the nature of work will change

This is precisely what I dread. When it comes to software development specifically, the parts that the AI cheerleaders are excited about AI doing are exactly the parts of the job that I find appealing. If I wanted to be a glorified systems integrator, I would have been doing that job already. The parts that the author is saying will still exist are the parts I put up with in order to do the enjoyable and satisfying work.

So this essay, if it's correct, explains the way that AI threatens my career. Perhaps there is no role for me in the software development world anymore. I'm not saying that's bad in the big picture, just that it's bad for me. It increasingly appears that I've chosen the wrong profession.

Apparently your view is that GDPR should not allow that, i.e. it isn't strict enough. I'm inclined to agree.
But if profit is negative then Uber and Lyft will just leave the market entirely. The only way to keep profits positive is to increase prices beyond what customers are willing to pay.
I’m just not sure the net negatives outweigh the positives on this one.

I think the best thing to do would be let folks work how they want to work. And if there is an imposition to be had, it should be against folks who “require” others to go out of their way to go into an office, since their need is quite unimportant in the face of the needs of the many many others who see a quality of life decline from RTO. There are ways to bring routine and socialization back into your life that don’t revolve around work. They need to explore those avenues before we consider the vastly negative imposition of _requiring_ people to RTO for their sole benefit.

> Updates on shutdown make sense in some of my machines but are awful in the laptop I use to teach classes.

It's also a bad idea when the power has gone out and the UPS battery will last for only a few more minutes. Or when you have no UPS, a storm is coming which you know will cause the power to fail, and you want to orderly power everything off as quickly as possible (not to mention that losing power during a software update is not ideal).

Which is why I love the way recent Gnome does it: when powering off, the confirmation dialog has an unobtrusive checkbox (checked by default) which selects whether you want to run software updates before powering off. If you're not in a hurry, you can keep it checked and wait for the software updates to finish; if you're in a hurry, just uncheck it before confirming and it'll turn off immediately.

Yes. Sone researchers went looking for the absence of EFE to disprove MOND and wound up finding it instead. MOND has predictive power. Moreover, we keep finding that lenticular and dense elliptical galaxies have "no dark matter", which is a prediction of MOND.

One of the reasons why things "keep getting added" to MOND is that it's known to be incomplete. The equations to reconcile MOND with relativity are not known and are tougher (but not necessarily impossible) than the Newtonian equations.

So it's expected that things will have to be added. That the equations are tricky for us mere mortal humans should not be held against it; the universe has no requirement that equations must be easy to solve.
What do you mean? The Rizin code does all the hard part (we add uplifting code for every architecture manually; you can see a list of supported architectures using `rz-asm -L` and check for the `I` letter, which means "IL."
