The problem with the concept of a middle class job (one where you can comfortably afford living, fun, saving, etc I think is most people's interpretations), is that it represents an unstable equilibrium state. Incentives of most businesses are the opposite of someone in the middle class. Businesses don't think in terms how they can take so little such as to perpetuate some idyllic lifestyle unimpinged, they think in terms of how much can they possibly take off the table for our own gain without bleeding the beast dry. This is why over time, middle class lifestyles get clawed away into more desperate paycheck to paycheck ones. So even if AI used well restores some middle class jobs tomorrow, what about next week lets say when companies realize they can charge more for goods and services, and people are back to paycheck to paycheck? Short of a planned economy with price controls I don't know how you prevent these incentives from emerging.
I enjoyed the story, but the writing I enjoyed even more. I really liked the tone and wittiness.
Apparently unlike everyone else on HN or reddit, I've been pretty happy with my Model 3 & Y and plan to get a Cybertruck because I think it looks awesome and early reviews seem to be very positive. If they would fix the obnoxious autopilot nagging and (lack of) rain sensors in future cars, I'll probably continue buying Teslas. If not, Rivians are pretty nice and I'm sure there will be other good options in the near future.
Is this for no-account users, or for everyone, including paid users?

In the past, I thought that search engines censored content because of the advertiser's demands, but now that AI search switched to the paid model I think the censorship is purely ideological because these companies are based in San Francisco.

"Looking at the U.S. public as a whole, however, the answer to the question of whether more education is correlated with less religion appears to be yes. Among all U.S. adults, college graduates are considerably less likely than those who have less education to say religion is “very important” in their lives: Fewer than half of college graduates (46%) say this, compared with nearly six-in-ten of those with no more than a high school education (58%)."

I am sure you know of the correlation between affluent people having fewer children and highly educated people tending to be more affluent. I dont think its particularly mysterious or confusing why secular populations have a lower fertility rate. It should be pretty obvious at a glance.

Religion is a lot like conservatism in that it provides a self affirming world view that relies on ethics from centuries past. I am sure there are many highly democratic, rich and ethical conservatives and religious types but generally these traits are indicators of the opposite. There is a reason the past century of progress has allowed such great leaps in education, quality of life etc while being accompanied by an ever decreasing level of religiosity.

>Race is a social construct, meaning it's defined by social factors rather than strictly biological ones.

that sounds like if a child grows in different social environment it may have different skin color, eye shape and other attributes ascribed to the race. Btw, in USSR in 194x-195x similar theory was a prevalent biological theory (professor Lysenko) greatly supported by the Communist Party against the "bourgeois theory of genetics", and the people who dared to challenge that theory were ostracized, fired, sent to GULAG.
Sorry for that ugly comparison, but that explanation reminds me of the theories when covid started, that it was created by secret organization that is actually ruling the world.

People love when there's some explanation that doesn't involve randomness, because with randomness looks like we don't have grasp on things.

Google actually had tooling that was detecting it, but he disabled check that would show it.

Google/Microsoft/NSA could just say they detected it with internal tooling and not disclose how exactly. Google and Microsoft would love to have credit.

I'm confused by this.

What is the precision of 0.1, relative to IEEE 754?

If I read it correctly, that statement is saying:

json_number_precision(json_number) <= ieee_754_precision

Given the enormous US government debt conservatively estimated at $37T and annual revenues of $1.86T, it seems like we are on the precipice of a debt spiral.

I've been hearing that my entire life, and I'm about ready to retire. I'm not going to argue it here, but I'd even say there are plenty of apologetics to say that some national debt is a good thing (and plenty of smarter folk than I have already written those arguments, I seriously recommend a search for them).

So to answer your question: no, I'm not worried, for several reasons. First, see the paragraph above. Second, there's not a damned thing I can do to keep it from all tumbling down, and if it does, I can't do anything about that, either. I could go all prepper, but that won't save you, either (not arguing that here, either).

And finally, at the risk of starting pointless arguments, the Republican party tends to start banging the "national debt" drum during election years, whereas any other year they don't give a shit (as evidenced by Congressional budget proposals). So to some extent I would argue that you're being sold a party line to make you worry enough to start posting such questions online, and hopefully vote the way "they" want you to.
I believe consciousness is on a spectrum of self-awareness. It just exists, perhaps even without evolutionary need. Even if you act mainly on instinct or even purely you could still very well be conscious.

You will continue to exist as long as conscious life is able to propagate. For me, it makes sense that a state of nonexistence can't exist. Your consciousness is not unique, it's only a physical phenomena, thus it can be replicated, and it doesn't even have to be exact, after all, you are the ship of Theseus. When you make a clone and kill the original, the clone is the original, exactly. Like waking up from a dream, to suddenly being teleported somewhere. When you go to sleep, why don't you wake up as a rabbit? Who says you don't? Consciousness so far can only be examined from the outside but this does not deny our subjective conscious experience. I believe that when you die you will just move on, not as the same person, but as another conscious being. Eternal life. Essentially immortal, but you lose everything, and you're unaware of it. Even if 5 million years have to pass, you will just wake suddenly wake up.

I also believe consciousness is not quantifiable, but shared, and you just have a narrow perspective at a time. When you die I'd say you don't even have to wake up as a newborn, you could just spontaneously be another person, as long as there's no other path of continuity.

> It’s changes your DNA, mRNA changes your DNA when if you have your DNA tested now, and you eat a bunch of this, lettuce take a bunch of these MRNA vaccines, and you go back and get your DNA tested again, it’s gonna be a little different. It’s not going to be the same as it was that you were born with that you got from your parents.

Whoever wrote that drivel doesn't even have a basic high school understanding of how RNA/DNA work, let alone what an mRNA vaccine even is.
It’s only diagnostically relevant in the context of imprecise population categories, lack of knowledge about disease origins, and the absence of genetic testing for conditions (i.e not in 2024). As others have pointed out in this thread, for example, the conflation of Black with prone to sickle cell disease is erroneous and more correctly determined by ancestry proximate to the region of the disease’s origin. Similarly, “white” in the US includes a wide swathe of genetics with various degrees of predisposition to melanoma (e.g. Northern vs Southern European).

> Other countries such as Israel are playing the long-con with very well engineered, multi-year software backdoors

What is this in reference to?
"air traffic controllers were paid a median annual salary of $132,250
in 2022, or nearly four times the $33,380 median annual pay of crossing guards"

It's not quite "expertise" that justifies the wage gap, it's supply and demand. Almost anyone can be a crossing guard--not everyone can be an air traffic controller. If AI theoretically could make anyone an air traffic controller, one would expect the salary to collapse as well.

Additionally, the notion of a middle class relies on a wage differential. If AI levels the playing field so dramatically, the notion of middle class will entirely evaporate since everyone's purchasing power equalizes.
Does it clarify that things like water or salt solution don't can't as "vaccine ingredients" somewhere? Or is that like a default legal standard of some kind?

I am currently looking for a data-centric role such as data or machine learning engineer.

I spent the last 5 years as the founding member and CTO of a startup, which still thrives under the leadership of my two co-founders. There I architected, designed and developed a procurement software for custom made packaging that convinced customers with industry revolutionizing features and excellent UX using Angular, Java and PostgreSQL. I also applied state-of-the-art optimization and machine learning algorithms to industry specific tasks. One example is a packaging size optimization service that I created, which saves Germany's leading e-commerce websites (e.g. Flaconi) 10 - 15% of packaging and shipping costs every day.

Before that I worked as a data engineer at a global mobile advertisement company. I worked on extremely high traffic systems with hundreds of servers, where the limiting factor was the number of requests, which required us to switch to an asynchronous architecture by migrating our application to Vert.x, which reduced the number of required computing resources by over 60%. I also delivered on a data pipeline redesign, where we reduced data storage requirements by 80% through efficient sampling, which saved tens of thousand of dollars every month.

If you are interested in working together feel free to reach out.

I have never been happier to get rid of a car than my model Y lease. For anyone considering a model y wish I had known:

-the turning radius is terrible, very annoying to drive and maneuver in parking lots

-the visibility without the cameras is poor, esp in the rear

-autopilot is frankly dangerous. I’m confident with it but handing it to my mother/wife is frightening

-the steering is very sensitive, esp at high speed. Even on comfort mode, it’s twitchy

-the ride quality is absolutely garbage. Such a hard ride; and yes, it makes it handle like it’s on rails. But how often do you want that vs potholes to not feel like your back is on the road?

-availability of chargers. The charging time is bad enough, but then you have to wait to even get on a charger more than you’d like. Not practical at all.

-if you have a partner of the impatient variety, they are not going to be happy when road trips take an extra hour or 2 for no reason.

-customer service is bad, the app is bad and the entire ownership experience is terrible if you’re used to dealing with any other manufacturer.

-no physical controls is super annoying

-phone key is buggy

-lots of software bugs and build quality issues.
I've often wanted a simple online form solution for random purposes, yet I have never quite gotten around to learning Google Forms. My kids use it for school stuff. They're reasonably capable with it and have gotten good mileage from it. I guess at some level it's hard for me to get into something that often requires flexibility, yet can't be modified beyond rigidly prescribed boundaries.

I would totally rather learn something like this that I can hack on. And when other people ask me how to do something for a Real reason, I would not hesitate to recommend the hosted version if it can do what they want. (No, I don't want to be on the hook for maintaining a self-hosted version of something that will be depended on for wide public consumption. I'm done with pager duty.)

The creators' hearts seem to be in the right place, so I'm less subliminally worried that they'll enshittify it in some way that bothers me. And if they do, the license gives me a way to proceed without starting with something new from scratch.

There’s a recent twin study from Stanford where they took a bunch of identical twin, and gave one an omnivorous diet and the other a plant-based diet.

Vitals were taken and blood work was done before making the diet/lifestyle changes, and again after.
I work on oss-fuzz.

I don't think it's plausible OSS-Fuzz could have found this. The backdoor required a build configuration that was not used in OSS-Fuzz.

Any log that root on that box has write access to. It’s theoretically possible to have an anomaly detection service running on a vulnerable machine dumping all of its’ data to an append-only service on some other non-compromised box. In that case, (in this ideal world) the attacker would not be able to disable the detection service before it had logged the anomalous traffic, and wouldn’t be able to purge those logs since they were on another machine.

I’m not aware of any services that a) work like this, or b) would be able to detect this class of attack earlier than last week. If someone does though, please share.

I worked at a small, local ISP in the 90:ies that had a point to point link across the river, handling the dial up traffic from the telecom company we partnered with.

Every few days, always at roughly the same time, all incoming dial up traffic would drop. A minute later, the customers could reconnect.

It took a while before we realized that one of the huge passenger ferries that docked a short distance upstream was the cause. When it arrived and departed, its chimneys and possibly bridge and highest deck blocked LOS across the river.
But then you have to make sure that the element caches that value. With signals you don't have to do that. Your component (or parts of it) will never be re-rendered if it never uses the signal.
