> People with things have to be useful to people who can do things as well.

That's not super clear, but I think I get what you're saying.

My whole point is AGI breaks that idea, and frees capital from the need for labor.

> I work to get paid a salary; my employer pays me enough that I don't leave.

And when an AGI can do your job better and cheaper than you, your employer fires you and stops paying you. And all the other employers don't hire you because they don't need you either. Then, if you're lucky, you get to live on the dole, otherwise you (eventually) get to be homeless have the opportunity to try scrape by at the margins (maybe you can squat and live off a garden for a few years, until a solar megaproject evicts you from now unprofitable farmland). In all cases you're marginalized and economically irrelevant.

Honestly in the past year or two I have been fairly impressed with recent grads I have worked with. On the other hand I've run across several people that got laid off from one of the big tech companies and I am shocked how little they know. Things that should have taken a week or two such as setting up an api endpoint to return records or consuming one of our apis ends up taking 4+ months for them to complete.

Traefik v3.0.1
My understanding was that there was a server running Docker containers where the admin wanted to allow others to control/start containers without giving them access to the machine through a local login. The idea proposed was to make the docker port accessible to the outside world (authenticated, somehow).

I'm not sure I'd want to expose the Docker port to the outside world (or outside of a strictly firewalled subnet). Even if it is wrapped, this seems to dangerous to me.

The service I talked about is not a shell. It's a command line program that operates as the shell when you login via SSH. Instead of bash/zsh/etc, this program runs instead. The purpose is to give the VM admin access for out-of-band management (serial console, reinstalling the OS, etc). I'm a big fan of this approach, where you don't necessarily get full access to the host, but you do have enough access to do the work that's needed (and still SSH encrypted). No more, no less. To me, this seems like a great approach for something like restricted VPS or container admin.

I ended up doing something similar for an SSH jump box a few jobs back where you could setup some basic admin things (like uploading SSH keys) using a CLI program that was used as an SSH shell.

To bring it back to the original post -- like others, I had a hard time seeing what the OP could be used for. Until I thought about this OOB CLI. It would be great for scripting access to something like this.
The average new car in the US is $48k.

https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a43611570/average-new-car-...

You are correct that people shouldn't spend so much on new cars, but the status quo is that they are. Reporting on prices isn't a bubble as much as just a statement of what's going on.
> ... constitutes evidence of absence of such a phenomenon.

Mostly everyone prefers that easy version of the question, but that isn't the one I asked.

The one I asked is:

Is it scientific consensus that an absence of evidence is proof of absence? ("proof" vs "evidence")

(Note also my question was about scientific consensus, but you are welcome to choose either version.)

> That is, since the only possible known interactions that the brain could pick up are electrical in nature

This seems "off" to me..."the only know to be possible" seems perfectly logical, whereas your wording almost sounds like you determine how Mother Nature runs the show. Granted, that's how it intuitively seems, but still. Regardless, for clarity: are you asserting that the final answered has been reached here, in fact?

Still outstanding (for bonus points):

>> And even if so: is it necessarily true?

>> PS: did you notice you're using the same methodology "believers" use: it's obvious?

For your troubles, an extra bonus question:

Did atoms exist before they were discovered to exist?
They might be more affordable now but accessibility I think is still low because of charging infrastructure. I live around a bunch of apartment complexes, probably 1,200 units between 3-4 properties, and none of them have charges available. I always say the issue is not getting homeowners to adopt electric cars because they largely have garage spaces where they can install chargers, the issue will be getting adoption to folks living in apartments and other places where you cant just install a charger. How will those folks charge their cars?
With historical childhood mortality rates, they started coming down before modern vaccination or antibiotics were invented. In the USA and UK, the great majority of the advance was actually made from about 1900 - 1930. Here in a wealthy part of Canada, to lose a child in infancy was already a relatively rare tragedy when my grandmother was born. Here's maternal and infant mortality rates for the UK 1900 - 1980 [1]. And estimates for the USA [2]. From about 25% in the late 19th century to about 5% in 1940.

There are many reasons, but germ theory, and modern understanding of nutrition, probably accounts for much, maybe most of it. I would probably poison myself in the kitchen every time I cooked, if I wasn't working with germ theory implicitly baked into my entire mental framework. And of course having the technology (clean tap water, refrigeration, airtight seals, heat on demand) to apply it efficiently.

“Prune juice.” “Barbecued water.” “Elixir of the gods.” Those are just some of the phrases used to describe Dr Pepper, the un-pin-downable soda brand whose secret recipe is said to include 23 flavors. This week, we learned that the purplish-red canned beverage (see, even its label contains an enigma!) had joined Pepsi to become the nation’s second-best-selling soda, behind category-dominating Coke, according to trade publication Beverage Digest. (Dr Pepper is technically a smidgen ahead, but it’s essentially a tie.)]
You're vastly underrating the value of oral records and overrating the value of written records. We have quite few surviving written records from Antiquity, and far fewer still if you discount those records which are (possibly edited!) copies of original works rather than original works themselves. Even for someone as consequential as Alexander the Great, we have exactly 0 surviving contemporary works (even in copied form) about him, and our oldest sources are 4 secondary sources (largely incomplete), some of which have clear bias in interpretation, drawing on the primary sources.

There's also the matter that the decision of which written records to preserve itself is a reflection of bias from people in intervening years. I mean, we have some pretty ancient extant religious manuscripts (in the sense of "this copy was produced around AD 300"), but manuscripts of those sects deemed heretical haven't survived, so most of what we know about, say, gnosticism comes from its ideological opponents.
The margin is too thin, in other words?

Of course they can't find talent at that price in that location.

They either need to decide they can't afford to pay decent wages (and therefore go out of business), or decide that they can (and start doing so). As a bonus, if enough of the bottom feeders go out of business, demand for living in London might go down, and housing could become a bit more affordable there.

Or it's a scam to try for cheap immigrants, as you say. If that's the case, they need to be rebuffed by the immigration service.

The biggest thing I need is the ability to delete a letter from a square without having to undo all the way back to when I thought the letter went there. Replacing the letter with a different one doesn't help. I need to be able to get it back to just listing the unused options for that color group, and I couldn't figure out how to do that.

Gondor has arguably more parallels to the Byzantine Empire than to a Western feudal society, so would have been a tax policy, though I suspect that more of the governments wealth would have come through collecting rent on agricultural land owned by the nobility.

If we continue the parallels to the Byzantine Empire more than the text can take us, much more important to the merchants than taxes would likely have been the government's involvement in the skilled trades (i.e. guilds) and setting of interest rates.
That's because the shortage is of underpayed tech skills.

> $40K, "affordable," shows what a bubble NYTimes is living in.

Did we read the same article? NYTimes is claiming that "$20k" (or rather, $20k after up to $7500 in federal rebates) is affordable.

Which, it kind of is? That's a brand new fully electric for like $400/month.

And we're seeing it in the used market as well. (2019/2020 Chevy Bolts are now going for like $15k or ~$350/month which puts them well into affordability for people around a $40k/yr income.
And it's certainly possible that CS/programming/etc. largely remains a solid engineering/engineering-adjacent career but some of the geo- and large tech-specific compensation is mostly an anomaly.

Hetzner has the best value-for-money server hosting at the moment. They seem to be building a business around creating good service (as long as you don't want a cloud-connected vSwitch) for the best price. In contrast, platforms like Vercel seem to be built around extorting you out of your money when you get slashdotted.

This is most apparent when looking at their traffic pricing, but also applies to other service pricing.

Hetzner origin* traffic (per TB): 1.19€, after the first 20TB, only if they decide you are using too much and they change you to usage-based pricing, or you have a 10Gbps uplink or cloud server, which always have usage pricing. Otherwise free. (* Hetzner does not offer a CDN)

Amazon origin traffic (per TB): $90, after the first 0.1TB, unless you use enough to qualify for a bulk discount.

Vercel origin traffic (per TB): $60, after the first 0.1TB. (I suppose they are passing through Amazon pricing after receiving the bulk discount themselves)

> tolerance should actually go down since the errors help cancel each other out.

Complete nonsense. The tolerance doesn't go down, it's now +/- 2x, because component tolerance is the allowed variability, by definition, worst case, not some distribution you have to rely on luck for.

Why do they use allowed variability? Because determinism is the whole point of engineering, and no EE will rely on luck for their design to work or not. They'll understand that, during a production run, they will see the combinations of the worst case value, and they will make sure their design can tolerate it, regardless.

Statistically you're correct, but statistics don't come into play for individual devices, which need to work, or they cost more to debug than produce.

- 24 hours prior to event, the optimized carpooling routes are created. Right now drivers are limited to a max route of 30 mins long, will be more flexible soon. Everyone is messaged their route details, related rider/driver details, and drivers get a google maps route link to navigate.

Exactly - if a work really was so simple that it required no work to understand it, what insight could it possibly give into the human condition? Plenty of "simple" works are reliant on the reader already having done work to grasp it, from growing up in the right country/culture/subculture to learning the right things in school.
> Doing things that outwardly appear to improve security but have de minimus or less effect on actual security.

Right. And that's exactly the situation the article describes.

The accusation of "security theater" was only levied when IT departments reached for the "full disk encryption" potion to mitigate the ailment of "attacker has active, online access to our database via SQL injection", when that's not at all what it's designed to prevent.

They can insist that they're "encrypting their database", but does it actually matter for the threats they're worried about? No. Thus, security theater.

The same is true of insecure client-side encryption.
SEEKING WORK | REMOTE | United States

I build pragmatic software for business owners--balancing speed, value, and cost. I understand software is a liability and technical decisions should be weighed against long-term business goals.

With 8 years experience building everything from interactive front-ends to from-scratch MVP products you'll get the most value from me as a technical partner, rather than just a code monkey. I'm not a "yes-man" (That's a feature!) I will push back on short-sighted technical decisions that will hinder your business's long-term growth.

*NEW:*

Get your project proposals reviewed, *for free*, and walk away with a set of questions to ensure the project will deliver the business value you need. I do this to make intros and build my network. You will not owe a dime or otherwise be obligated to anything unless we mutually agree to undertake additional work together afterwards.

I reduce overhead by operating full-stack: designing, shipping features, fixes, and improving DX. I put a lot of emphasis on repeatable processes and leveling-up the people around me.

My experience with NodeJS/Typescript, React, and TailwindCSS is extensive. I have worked in many of the surrounding ecosystems and paradigms including serverless, and SSR/SSG (astro, etc). I have also done a lot of Ruby on Rails recently, in an enterprise ecosystem including integrating ActionCable, Hotwire (Turbo, Stimulus, etc).

The TPU is basically an ASIC as far as I know; it competes against CUDA in a very small subset of it's featureset. CUDA is essentially a composition layer on top of multiple GPU features that optimizes them for general-purpose compute. In essence, nothing is stopping Apple or Google from making an Open Source CUDA replacement and undermining the demand for specialized GPGPU compute. The problem is that CUDA is massive, and nobody wants to re-implement it (especially not for free).

So now Nvidia is in the privileged position of having both highly-flexible GPGPU compute hardware, as well as a highly-advanced software layer to use it with. TPUs and NPUs are neat, but fundamentally they are neither of these things; they have an extremely limited processing pipeline exposed by a high-level library, and that's usually it. CUDA is comparatively flexible, to the point that it doesn't even rely on AI to sell it's product.

To me, hating on Nvidia feels like being mad that a well-bred horse with great odds beat out the jockey you were betting on. Why should we hate them, for their "monopoly" on features that Apple and Khronos gave up developing? Because they're blocking-out their competitors by... not having working MacOS drivers per Apple's request? This is the causal and obvious outcome of letting businesses commoditize specialized compute. This is what the industry wanted, and it's rich watching the customers protest like they were fooled into thinking everything was fine.
Here is the definition of monopoly:

"the exclusive possession or control of the supply of or trade in a commodity or service."

There are other huge players: AMD and Intel.

Additionally Google and Amazon are producing their own AI hardware.

Now can you explain to me how Nvidia has a monopoly?
