There is no history of this happening before, at least not on the time frames we are talking about here. This is thousands of years of change in decades. It isn't so much just the change but the pace that is the issue. Like how jumping off a building and taking the elevator achieve the same amount of change but on a very different time frame and thus very different results.
A more honest estimate is "we don't know how long it will take." Guessing that things are 5 years away is borderline fraud when you have no idea how long it will take (eg an uncertain, massive R&D project).

To be fair to you, it was actually "next year" for about 5 of the 10 years that Tesla was promising self-driving, which is a different story (likely actually fraud).
You do realize that most governments run massive jobs programs to ensure this number of available jobs stays high, right? In the US we give massive tax breaks in exchange for hiring numbers.

Computers may have very well reduced job numbers but we're running a contrived system at this point.
The ideal/real world distinction is a frequent schema for rationalizing setting aside idealistic pursuits. Same goes for calling something “just” a “hobby” or a “passion”. Great for parents coaching their teenagers away from rash decisions. But for adults?

That “real” world is also inhabited by people who do manage to do all the incredible things. Ikigai can be a wonderful way to think about the things you do, the direction you wish to evolve in.

A thought that stirs in me personally - a life split between the thing that makes the money and the thing that is a hobby doesn’t sound balanced. Like, neither the work or the hobby can flourish into its full ideal potential. There is something sad about that, even if it’s still OK.

By the same token a good chunk of government employees would be paid higher if their skillset were rare or difficult to fill, and they worked hard. The good ones that work hard switch to the private sector, even if the pay isn't much higher, so that they can get stuff done and not be surrounded by folks just existing while collecting a paycheck.

You aren't able to express those concepts in your head without making them into words? Our minds are made to work with associations and feelings, if I regret my time spent doing something that is expressed in my mind as me feeling regret when I think about when I did that thing, there are no words needed for that, same with everything else you talked about. Only time I add words is when I communicate with people, like when I write this post, then I translate those internal concepts into words so it comes out a bit different every time and not exactly how I thought.

If you are mostly thinking in words, how do you even fix or see when you have misunderstood a word? To me that is easy, that word isn't how you think, but to you that words definition seems to be critical then, how do you even manage to parse text then? You must also parse them down to these core concepts that are lower level than words without knowing, or else I don't see how you could function as a human.
I mean this is categorically not true, but definitely makes for a pithy comeback.
> In practice it’s: clone, build, read compile error, google the dependency, install the dependency, build again, see new error, repeat 10 times.

This just isn't my experience. I just run apt build-dep and it just _works_. It works basically every single time. Have you tried doing the same?

I'm not saying there aren't issues, just that my experience with compiling code on Linux is much easier than anywhere else. Of course Windows apis are much more stable, but that's never much a barrier to building code for me.

Edit: By the way even if you run into build problems, I still don't see how it's an issue with Linux. Projects that can't easily be built with very clear instructions need to improve their instructions. Lazy developers will always produce badly documented software. That's an unfortunate fact of life.

Stunningly, Carlson tells Rogan that congressmen were "terrified" that intelligence agencies will frame them with "kiddie porn" if they openly opposed the "warrantless spying" bill.

Specifically, he says US lawmakers "told" him that they are "worried" about being punished by intel agencies if they oppose reauthorizing Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).

"People don't say that because they're worried about being punished. They’re worried about someone putting kiddie porn on their computer. Members of Congress are terrified of the intel agencies. I'm not guessing at that. They've told me that — including people on the intel committee, including people who run the intel committee," Carlson said.

Eh you require a lot of factual knowledge to know how to think. I mean humanity has been pretty smart for the last 10k years or so, but without understanding of scientific laws and a massive amount of world knowledge breakthroughs were very slow compared to the last 300 or so years. We need these facts + philosophy + critical thinking, but it seems like no one knows how to teach this.
This the only relevant paragraph under the criticism section of the wiki page:

> The ACLU considers the FISA Act to be unconstitutional for several reasons including: the law was designed to mainly address terrorism threats, but in fact intercepts communications that have nothing to do with terrorism or criminal activity of any kind; and that "the government can create huge databases that contain information about U.S. persons obtained without warrants and then search these databases at a later point."

As I understand, these databases are only created if the other party is foreign, is that not the case?

I asked in earnest but you made this about my intent instead of articulating your views. My conclusion so far is that the HN crowd is jumping on the bandwagon and can't take any critique of the popular sentiment.

I have much critique of the patriot act and other provisions but FISA itself has been around since 1978 apparently. I was merely trying to figure out what specifically were the opposing views because in general, foreign surveillance is not optional.

China has a population the size of the US and EU combined, and are every bit as capable intellectually. One would expect them to catch up technologically, all else being equal. I don't think that requires any false presumptions.

Also, ime, the west has only ever presumed political superiority, not intellectual. Not unless you're talking about fringe people, in which case I'd point out that every nation has a minority of rabid ethnocentrists, and the west generally denounces theirs to a greater degree than China itself does.

Bokeh and depth are entirely a product of the properties of the lens. Among the great things about m4/3 is the tiny sensor, and tiny distance between the lens and the sensor, which together facilitate a low barrier to entry for high-quality fast glass.

Let's say you're a 10x programmer. You negotiate a sweet pay package that would make you tens of millions if the stock price hits targets.

You negotiate, and are kind of surprised the company agrees to your stock price target, you thought they'd be higher.

So if you employer later sues you and the judge agrees that the targets were too low, you'd be "ahh, no problem".

Business is where you need to wear your big boy pants. If you agree to a bad deal, then you agree to a bad deal. You don't get to take it back.
I'll defend some of what [flagged] was saying.

The pay is pretty fair. They're teaching material that every high school graduate should theoretically be able to teach, so the barrier to entry is low. Most of the prep work can be reused for the next year. Their hours are OK, and they line up with when their kids are in school. Plus they get summers off. It's a shitty job if you actually care, but pretty cushy if you check out and just do what's required.

It depends.

Taking a close look at the data provided in this page, beyond merely considering seniority level and years of experience, reveals a noteworthy trend at Facebook. Many individuals are being hired at level E5 (Senior) with 6-8 years of "relevant" experience, and some even with 10 or more.

Some candidates with fewer years of experience, such as the 4 years you mentioned in your comment, are joining Facebook with PhD or Master degrees, which significantly bolsters their overall qualifications.

We’re not talking about just any programmer with 4 years of experience in web design straight out of a Bootcamp. These individuals are typically Ivy League graduate students with PhDs or Masters, and approximately 4 years of experience at Tier-1, or at the very least, Tier-2 companies (Fortune 500’s).

To illustrate, consider a recent data point submitted to Level/FYI on March 26th, 2024. This individual has been working at Facebook for 4 years and has accumulated a total of 10 years of work experience. Currently specializing in ML/AI, their total compensation amounts to $410,000 (comprising $230,000 in cash per year, along with $180,000 in RSUs per year).

Programming is mostly thinking just like many other knowledge related jobs, it's nothing special. This analogy can be used for most design related jobs, not just software.

If I had my client report deleted today, I could rewrite that report in nearly half the time the next day because I remember the way in which I structured the report, the sentences that flowed that didn't and the way I conveyed the findings in a neutral way.

No different to designing a physical product. You might see the outcome, but you don't see the numerous design iterations and compromises that came along the way which speak to the design that came out the end.

Furthermore, there are going to be programmers that can write more code with less thought, because they might have many years of pre-thought knowledge and understanding that allows them to execute faster.
