If tech and the customers hate each other, they wouldn't be making revenue. Of course, there's a couple of exceptions (e.g. monopolies, addictions) but that doesn't really describe AI for example.

I think the answer is that people simply do like the tech. We voluntarily use social media platforms (nosurfing is possible), and the average person clearly finds great use in ChatGPT, MidJourney, Character and AI in general.

Essentially -- the complaining doesn't represent what the market (the people) actually want. It's controversial for sure but the willing customer base is large enough.

How to identify and cleanup a hacked WordPress site
My first post here, so hi all :)

I had two friends of mine being infected with malware last year, so I decided to share my journey on how to identify and get rid of that, hopefully, this could come in handy to either of you.
ETF news were widely circulated by speculators -> Giancarlo started his printing press -> BTC value went up -> ETF inflows increased -> even more printing by Giancarlo -> more inflows in ETF -> loop continues for now....

Just as an example - the biggest and scariest fund in the world Blackrock had estimated 11 billion dollars inflows in the BTC ETFs. At the same time period, a single dude with the laptop in some non-extradition offshore has printed 12 billions just since the beginning of this year. And all of those printed tokens were immediately used to buy BTC and other volatile tokens. No wonder the the price went insane over past months.
Yeah it's a spectacular transplant procedure, though it's really not that modern medicine, it has been developed since the 50s! The step where you irradiate or apply chemo to kill off the existing bone marrow had to be done at first because the patients had leukemia so you had to do this anyway. An interesting thing is that if there are still cells left in you, they will be wiped clean by the new transplanted immune system in a so called graft-vs-host response that also sounds like a horror-movie concept :)

Something I found really surprising about Python's regexp implementation is that it doesn't support the typical character classes like [:alnum:] etc.

It's not really the last decade or so. You can go back 20 years or more and find people really quite dissatisfied with tech companies like IBM and Oracle and Microsoft.

What really happened is that "you either die the hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain" came for Google and Apple and what we need is to recognize that they're now IBM and Microsoft and we need a new Google and Apple.
True, but longer days happen once in a while and not having to carry a charger is nice.
No, it’s because I work in antibody design and when someone says “we have a new method to design antibodies but they don’t bind well”, AI or not, I’d tell them “well that sounds useless”.

Reason #2 to use powershell - consistent regex.

Sounds like "standing up" was the real pivotal moment.
"The more I recall this memory, the more I can tell, I am recalling a copy of the memory rather than directly experiencing that memory. "

I feel that is very true. I have some memories from when I was young that aren't really clear to me. It's more of a feeling thing rather than something specific.

And every time I think on that I wonder how much my mind fills in that I didn't remember.

> If the current tech leaders can’t figure this out, they will be wiped away by history—that’s happened before, and will happen again.

When has this happened in history, to who, and what was the context? The examples I can think of were mostly related to technological advancements (mainframe to minicomputer, for example), and not related to general public anger.
Except for one scene, I don't recall anything before 5 years old.

However, there is always something that bothered me: I remember the exact moment at 5 years old where I got out of the shower room confused and afraid because I could not remember anything.

So it is not like my memory gradually faded, but really that there is a specific moment in time when it happened.

I also remember that at several times in my life, from as early as 5~6 and up to today, I was wondering about the fact that I could not remember anything from before 5 (like a recursive memory).

Anyone else in this case?
Definitely. I wish there was a stronger and more efficient way to call out scammers of global caliber. A system which bans Elon Musk from ever speaking about self-driving cars sounds somewhat oppressive, but I would be inclined to give it a try since what we have now seems harmful and exploitative.
I’m assuming you have no background in antibodies, but this is like saying “this is the first time AI put together a sentence but it doesn’t mean anything”.

The purpose of antibody development is to develop something that binds well. That’s the goal. So basically AI designed something useless.

Computers have been a hobby all my life. I well remember the epiphany I felt while learning Logo in elementary school, at the moment I understood what recursion is. I don't think the fact that the language I have mostly written code in in recent years is Emacs Lisp is unrelated to the above moment.

Yet I have never desired to work as a professional software developer. I majored in history and Spanish at Columbia while working for the university's Unix systems group. Before graduation I interviewed and got offers (including one explicitly as a developer) at various tech startups. Of my offers I chose an investment banking job where I worked with tech companies; my manager was looking for a CS major but I was able to convince her that I had the equivalent thereof. Thank goodness for that; I got to participate in the dotcom bubble without being directly swept up in its popping, and saw the Valley immediately post-bubble collapse. <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34732772>

I'm glad, for the sake of civilizational and economic progress, that others are able and willing to program for pay. Meanwhile I will continue to putter around with Elisp at home.

In real life, the inventor of the blue led was basically scammed by his company. The company earned a lot of money and basically shifted the whole business to produce blue leds. Veritasium recently made a video about that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AF8d72mA41M

I think this illustrate another point: patents should protect inventors, not companies. Companies shouldn't be able to amass a "portfolio" of patents to bully their competition either.
> and finally GPT4 achieved the understanding of the world and reasoning capabilities that would had probably qualified as AGI just 10 years ago.

I keep hearing this, "if you showed GPT4 to people 10 years ago they would think it was AGI!". What complete rubbish. What exactly do you think has happened over 10 years so that you don't have that response? Nothing really. LLM's were released and you gradually understood how they worked and (hopefully) quickly came to the conclusion that they aren't AGI.

Some people thought GPT4 was AGI when it was released, so of course some people would have had the same initial reaction 10 years ago. But just like today, reasonably intelligent people would quite quickly conclude that there was no AGI... Why on earth would you think it would be any different?

The goal posts for what constitutes AGI have not changed but many, many decades.

Paul Graham is second to no-one in understanding the startup ecosystem, but there's some points here that only tell one side of the story.

Before I get to the complaints though - am I the only one with the feeling there would be a huge market niche for a search engine that gave as useful results as Google did in its earlier days? It sometimes feels like half the results for non-tech-related searches these days lead to low-quality AI-generated SEO-optimised fake content.

> If you're not sure what technology to get good at, get good at programming.

We tried this with unemployed former coal miners in Appalachia. It turns out, the real secret sauce here is "be the kind of person who can get good at programming". I'm with Freddie deBoer here, as he says in his book The Cult of Smart: we need to accept that not everyone has the same intellectual abilities. Once we do that, we can start thinking about how we make a world that works for the half of the population below the median on this dimension.

> ... facebook ...

The other story I heard about Zuckerberg is that he got his first 1000 users by scraping everyone's profile picture off the university "facebooks", then making a page where you could rate the women as "hot" or "not". I feel like missing this part out gives a rather one-sided picture of the story - especially if there were any young women in the class that PG originally gave this talk to. That's a shame because PG makes a very different point in "Why it's safe for founders to be nice" [1].

> (US uni admissions are done badly)

I agree with footnote 3 that determination and resourcefulness are important, but you also need to be able to program and reason mathematically if you want to start the next google. There are a lot of incredibly determined and resourceful students on liberal-arts or law degrees who might go far in the world, but they're not the person you want as a _technical_ co-founder.

> There is no "one true way to coup"

True - but the poisoning of Yushchenko was a thing that actually happened, and it is not fiction like the story about 2014 CIA coup in Ukraine. By the way, the puppet that Russians backed then was Yanukovych, the same man who later successfully became the president of Ukraine and sabotaged EU aspirations under Russian orders, then shot protesters and fled the country when he lost all political backing that he had and was facing criminal charges. History didn't start in 2014 indeed.

> your nation could never do something so heinous as poison its opponents, imprison them indefinitely without charge, etc - when in fact, it DOES do that

I am not an American, and if you came here and told everyone how our government poisons opponents and imprisons people indefinitely, you'd get very strange looks and genuine concern about your mental health. :)

> Its just that there is MUCH resistance to American imperialism in that region.

You are so boxed in with the "CIA vs the world" narrative of the Anglosphere that you miss the fact that in our region, it's FSB, SVR and GRU against SÄPO, SUPO, KAPO, VDD, VSD, SB, SBU and others. How many of these abbreviations do you even recognize without googling? "American imperialism" is not a thing that people here have any reason to talk about. The modern western self-loathing is non-existent, found only on Twitter among teenagers who have consumed a little too much of American media and pop-culture. The imperialism that we are facing comes from Russia. We don't want to live under a Russian version of Jim Crow laws like 35 years ago. We don't want to see our cities destroyed, people murdered, women and children raped, language and culture wiped out.

Foreign dignitaries have often been struck by a gallery in our presidential palace. The gallery displays paintings of all former heads of state, with their birth and death dates and locations. There's a repeating pattern: almost everyone from the pre-WII period have names of remote Russian towns and dates from 1941 or 1942. They were sent into labor camps and executed there. The few who managed to avoid imprisonment and escape to the free world lived long lives and died much later in exile in places like Stockholm, London, Toronto.

The war in Ukraine gives us much more reason to talk about Russian imperialism than about American imperialism. You are very right that history didn't start in 2014, nor in 1776. The war is just the most recent example of a very old pattern of Russian behaviour that started well before the first settlers heading for America climbed into their boats.
Is this with the likes of Leptos? The fancy HTML macros add a ton of compilation time (and are an antipattern IMO).
More probably the idea behind is some dill preserves company donated for the research.
Ketosis is probably our rudimentary "wintersleep mode". Rudimentary as we are basically tropical animals (look at our lack of fur).

We should not eat for ketosis. But we can eat (restricted to fat and protein) and still stay in ketosis, which is marketed as the keto diet and is not well tested in long term studies. You are a guinea pig when you do this long term.
> Humans are bad at lipogenesis: we can only convert tiny fraction of the carbs into fat.

Because historically food is scarce or difficult to obtain, in general organisms develop mechanisms to make good use of it: when excess food ("energy") is available, it is stored rather than wasted.

This is also true in particular for mammals, and for humans. It's quite obvious that humans are very effective at storing excess energy.

It is said that sumo fighters maintain their body mass (muscle + lots of fat) by eating rice (i.e. carbohydrates) and protein.

Lipogenesis (fat generation from carbohydrates) takes place mostly in the liver.
"Excess acetyl CoA generated from excess glucose or carbohydrate ingestion can be used for fatty acid synthesis or lipogenesis."

https://courses.lumenlearning.com/suny-ap2/chapter/lipid-met...

The conclusion being: "Humans are great at lipogenesis. That's how we store excess energy."
Maybe because a fair amount of the work I do with regexes (and, probably, how I was introduced to them) is via `grep`, so I'm often thinking of the inputs as "lines" rather than "strings"?

> but my editor will not tell me what error a browser is going to throw

And so won't Rust, a runtime error is a runtime error after all.

But even Typescript has pretty good control flow analysis which catches a lot of (what would be) JS runtime errors while typing when properly integrated with an IDE.

It's not like Rust invented static typing, it just has a very strong type system (which can quickly become an annoyance though, that's why there's a wide range of 'strictness' among statically typed languages, because while static typing is generally a good thing, a 'too strong' type system might not be.

A good psychotherapist could of course provide the environment, support, guidance and relationship to help you find your way through this stuff

This is how I found my way.

Back in 1992 I, ran my own business, my first child was 2 years old, had a wonderful partner and was financially secure.

Just after my child was born I suddenly has access to my childhood years which had been out of my awareness (dissociation). Vivid dreams and memories terrorised me through every waking and sleeping hour of the trauma I experienced as a child.

My friends had always talked about their childhoods, holidays, school friends, memories but for me it was like I did not remember anything of my childhood.

The pressures of life took their toll and overcame me. I became clinically depressed and abandoned my life, partner and child and moved into a squat. I spent the next year just wasting away.

I then found my way into psychotherapy for the first time and over the next 3 years changed my life.

After 3 years of Transactional Analysis I told my therapist that I wanted to do what she was doing. I began my training a therapist and have never looked back.

There is nothing that is written that says life is easy, its just that we need a new set of tools at different times and different developmental stages throughout life.
What do you mean specifically as "outdoor"? Occasionally I am working home and love to go with the notebook in the garden. Mostly I work on my garden table, but some times live to be on the hammock.

Comfort: I find it also therapeutic to have short breaks walking around the garden.

Correction:
JVM implementations perform escape analysis, in particular, because Java does not have structs.
.NET does not perform escape analysis for objects and all attempts to experiment with it so far has shown greater impact on compilation speed with little to no profit in allocation rate. However, you will find average allocation traffic much lower in .NET because C# already puts way more data on stack through structs, non-boxing operations (where Java boxes), stack allocated buffers, non-copying slicing with spans and object pooling (which is common in Java too).
It's not a modern disease, it simply has exploded in occurrence. This explosion is modern. This is likely due to our diet. There's a book called "the blue zones" that dives into healthy diets and lifestyles that have historically helped people grow old.
