I read Silicon Snake Oil soon after it was published (1996) and I felt Cliff Stoll's views were excessively pessimistic at the time. He was definitely out of tune with the Dot Com Zeitgeist. But a quarter of a century later he might be experiencing a degree of Schadenfreude.

Computers have still not successfully replaced newspapers.
Computers have still not successfully replaced teachers.
Computers have still not changed the way government works.

Computer technology has undoubtedly had enormous effects on many aspects of society but it has failed to produce benefits that many early technology idealists and entrepreneurs predicted, and it has made some things a lot worse.

We have lost the quality journalism that was nurtured by the old broadsheet newspapers because they no longer have the necessary money nor inclination to do it.

Education systems are in decline everywhere. Teacher quality has declined. The best teachers find jobs outside the education systems. Student performance has declined despite vast investments in technology for education. Student attention spans have declined and mental health problems have greatly increased along with increased exposure to technology.

Governments at least have benefited from technology in that has enabled mass surveillance and control of their citizens. But other areas of government administration for public benefit, such as health administration and education have not improved. Yet governments have wasted vast amounts of taxpayer money in failed technology projects. Wider citizen participation in democracy? Not so much.

What Cliff Stoll seems to have underestimated is people's willingness to put up with cheaper, lower-quality technological alternatives to quality newspapers, good teachers and public administration.

Which made me chuckle.
> My understanding is that apple's MAC randomization tries to give each SSID a different MAC but records the mapping so that the next time you connecct to a known SSID you get the same MAC.

And that's if you actually joined the network (who joins a billboard's wifi network these days? Celluar data is plentiful even for cheap plans). If not, the only MAC that's sent is a random phone that's reset every scan/15 minutes (forgot which one it was).

College is the problem! It should provide job relevant skills and education! Instead students are forced to study irrelevant garbage.

I've always looked for something like this. Submission approvals. If you don't want to do approvals, perhapse charge $5 per submission. Also limit them from the same person to at least once every 24 hours, but probably more, if you want to keep it free.
I once asked a speaker about which dispatcher should I use in Kotlin coroutines. His response intrigued me. He said:

> Even in dense US cities, being on two wheels is dangerous

I think it's made particularly true because of the very low requirements for driving license in the US, which end up letting dangerously unskilled people on the road.

In 2014 I went from Paris (which at that time hasn't done its cycling transition yet and I was one of the very few cycle commuter in the city by then) to Boston, and it was a terrifying experience despite the city being actually pretty gifted in terms of infrastructures (with the Charles river banks being kind of a bicycle highway).

American drivers (or as least Massachusetts's) have very little spatial awareness, they watch the car in front of them and that's it (well, when they are looking at it and not their mobile phone), most of them don't even check before turning and changing lane. As a result I had 3 really close calls over the course of 4 months, when I never had a single situation as dangerous in 2 years in Paris. I also witnessed roughly as many small accidents between cars in that period than in my whole life.

I discussed with other Europeans there and the ones who had to get their US driving license told me how lenient the process was compared to the European equivalents.
‘Never’ is a long time. There were far worse times in (recent) history, but currently I see many companies rather hiring no one than a graduate/junior. At least in my field (which is common here; saas dev, fullstack), I have too pick between paying a graduate a very large amount of $, much to close to a medior or even senior, to skip over them. I would love to hire someone like me when I was a graduate: I didn’t have much costs so I worked for very little and was eager so I worked hard and tried to soak up everything. It seems these are different times and as a small company, I simply cannot take the risk for the salaries people are asking with zippo experience.

How long to do the development and testing of the template, and what size is your team?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not happy about this situation. As well as the DR concern you raise, we can't quickly spin up short lived clones of our infra for testing complex changes, so we test them in our staging environment and have to block prod deploys until we're either happy with the change or decide to roll it back. At a larger org this would be a major headache but at our current size it does not matter.

On the other hand, senior pay expectations are wildly out of orbit because of some exuberant behavior from the FAANGs during COVID.

It's been extra annoying because they say the compensation range is fine before the interviews and suddenly their pay expectations are 20%-50% higher than the high end of the range after interviews even when they have no other offers and even if they didn't wow us in the interview.

As someone who “made it” without a formal degree: oh come on. If nobody opens doors for you, it takes a lot more than just intellect and grit to establish yourself. While I don’t have many good things to say about the established education systems, it’s beyond naive to act like “just do it on your own” is a scalable approach. Even today, some doors will stay closed for me, simply because I will always have to justify why I have no formal degree (and the doorkeepers are not incentivized to even listen since the pool of candidates is big), and some of those doors are highly interesting.

As a hiring manager I can understand this view. I'm also in SaaS dev. But in the Netherlands at least most of the raising IT salary demands aligned with inflation, particularly if one includes housing market inflation.

How they are going to infere demographic info from MAC addresses?
Current LLMs are a "blurry JPEG of the Internet", essentially a fuzzy index instead of the character-accurate Google Search index.[1] Both have their utility, with a lot of overlap.

LLMs can't replace most human jobs in the same way that Google didn't replace most human jobs. However, many people become more productive thanks to modern web search and a few people did lose their jobs or were downsized. Nobody hires a research librarian in a private company these days because employees are expected to do their own searches!

The same thing will happen with LLMs. It'll be an alternative to Google Searches and perform much the same function, extending the capability to fuzzy searches and contextual searches. It'll be integrated with character-accurate indexes, and then there will be one "ask the Internet" product. It'll be useful. It'll make everyone more productive. I don't think it'll replace any of us any time soon. Maybe in 15+ years, but not next year.

[1] Most of the criticism I've seen of LLMs stems from a misunderstanding of what they do and how they work. People expect character-accurate output, such as URLs and references. It's not an index, it doesn't work that way!

Employers may imagine the system is efficient. In fact, it is a wasted opportunity. Every time someone applies for a job, there is a chance to build that company’s reputation.

I guess that depends a little more on location than the junior situation; here (EU), the seniors applying are much more stable salary wise. Much less golden mountains; they just want a job and stability, not dreams and chaos. Most I speak to over 40 want jobs for life, not hop. Raised by inflation yearly and that for the coming 27 or so years until retirement.

Some workers want to be baby fed information and don't want to go out of the way to learn something beyond their narrow scope. These employees can write a simple to-do checklist and as they go through their list of narrowly scoped tasks, they can cross each item out perfectly and nothing changes from what was expected. Why would they search for anything? Some managers love this too. Their employees will never deviate from the omniscient plan. Just feed them what they need to know, and secure your position (and time) by limiting access to information. Win win. Too much information and communication are time killers. How many organizations are really structured where employees can "miss something important that has real money implications"?

P.S. I agree with you
Yes, and companies should pay for it rather than students! Let the market decide what is "job relevant"!!

In all seriousness, maybe an institution like this would not be a bad idea, alongside universities rather than as a replacement.

My kid didn't get to meet his grandmother (my mom). She had me at 30, I had him at 46, one year too late.

One of the problems with capitalism is that the highest achieving people (somewhat likely the actual "fittest" people in terms of genetic selection) don't have kids until they are much later, if at all. I don't want this to get too elitist, but this country (actually the entire first world aside from France) needs to figure out how to incentivize productive people to have kids.

I always thought what we should do with the people in retirement for longer and longer periods of time is encourage them to provide some child care, even if it isn't their own. Especially in some countries (Japan, holy shit South Korea) that really are imbalanced.

Although, tangentially, I think South Korea will solve its demographic bomb by toppling North Korea's government and immigrating a massive number of shellshocked North Koreans.

Can I ask roughly where you are in NL? I'm an immigrant from the US and still trying to get a hold on prices here in regards to salary. My wife and I together make around 7500 gross in the Eindhoven area. Still enough to get ahead if we are conscious of our expenses, but not lavish by any stretch. The country seems to be shifting some and that's always a bit nerve racking when you're one step lower on the social ladder than everyone else.

Are salaries really that much higher in the Holland compared to Brabant? I have ten years of experience as a fullstack dev.
>ARM success

Yes.

>Alpha (Digital Equipment / Compaq / Hewlett Packard) - Alpha is dead. No one makes or sells Alpha computers any more.

Important to mention: Intel bought the Alpha IP, thus ensuring Alpha is no longer a problem to them.

>MIPS chips are not used in used in main stream servers nor do they out preform x86 chips from AMD or Intel.

Important to mention: MIPS abandoned MIPS ISA in favor of RISC-V, which doesn't hold the workstation/server performance crown... yet. Anytime now.

>POWER (IBM) - This architecture is still being sold by IBM in real products. My guess is it is a good chip but it is still more expensive and slower than chips from AMD and Intel.

Emphasis on expensive. They would be competitive, except price means they are not.

>SPARC

Register Window was a bad idea after all. Also, Oracle. Might as well be dead.

>We had 7 RISC chip architectures launch in 1980s and 1990s.

In the list, yes. There's more. But it is important to observe that's because the industry stopped launching CISC ones.

And from the CISC ones, only x86 remains.

>My main point is RISC's proponents promised that RISC chips would be faster than CISC chips

There is no such promise in RISC whitepaper. Citation needed as to where this promise is found (and who these RISC proponents are).

>If RISC was better, at least one of the RISC chip designs would have defeated AMD/Intel by now.

No, it does not follow. Furthermore, AMD and Intel can and have made RISC chips before, and will likely make RISC chips again.

A far better question is "has RISC succeeded?", and here the answer is yes. For decades, there have been no tabula rasa CISC ISAs, and among the remaining ones only x86 has some life to it.

Meanwhile, RISC ISAs drive smartphones, the computers that most people use the most, as well as Mac computers, the most prominent alternative to Windows computers in the market.

In British English “shift” means “move,” so shifting something off an array means moving it (into a variable). Un- as a prefix indicates negation or reversing in English. So you just need to remember what shift does, and unshift does the opposite, as indicated by the word.

I just think that behaviours like that (incessantly blaming climate change when it is not 100% the case) are what feed climate change denialism.
