Personally, I think this is a great policy! Local news is incredibly important to the health of a democracy (somebody needs to show up at those city council meetings and report on them, and national media wont do it), but it's doing quite poorly in the modern media landscape. I do not think it is at all a problem to support it like this, and a tax on streaming seems like a great way to do it.

If you are hesitant about the concept of subsidizing local press or media companies in general, it's absolutely nothing new: Sweden has been doing this for more than 50 years, and (in my opinion) it's largely been extremely beneficial to the media environment.
Photoshop has made great leaps in capabilities during the past 10 years, while Gimp has largely stayed still. I keep checking in with Gimp to see if anything has changed, and no, nothing much has changed.

If you're using a Mac and only need occasional image manipulation, then Seashore is a good option. My understanding is it's Gimp with sane UI - allowing you to do the most commonly-needed tasks quickly.
Do you have a link? Google just gives results about the US Navy detection of the implosion…
Not to mention that an IT department that is truly concerned about this risk would just block the AI APIs at the network level and be done with it. A competent IT department with the concerns that OP is expressing would know that there's no way for them to keep track of all the software that is implementing AI features and would make the very easy change that would solve all of those concerns at once, not go on a witch hunt against iTerm2.

This means that the only people that we're supposedly catering to here are incompetent IT departments, which doesn't seem worth the hassle for the maintainer or all of the other users.

Or, more likely, this hypothetical IT department that cares enough to block iTerm2 but doesn't care enough to block on the network level is a fiction invented by people who just really hate seeing AI added to everything.

Hello! I really appreciate the sentiment you shared and just wanted to let you know that "grate" should be "great" in this context. I am assuming you didn't notice while using a speech to text tool or you are not a native english speaker. No hate, love to have you here, not trying to be the spelling police but your sentiment is very kind and appreciated so i thought i would let you know that a grate is a type of metal grill used mostly in filtering large masses from liquids, such as a drainage grate for flood waters.

Enjoy your day and please keep sharing your positive outlook!
Maybe the private healthcare is only cheap because it has to compete with free. (free in the sense that any costs are sunk costs, not that there are no costs)
look up "IRS Section 174 changes". here is a decent link, specific to startups[0].

but a simplified TL;dr is that companies used to be able to expense that year's R&D costs (including salaries for developers etc) in that same taxable year. now, that is no longer the case, and companies must amortize those R&D costs over 5 years.

this is not ideal.

Yes! Looking at the graph, it seems like the real question should be, "what has changed in France since roughly 2008?"

Coding is fun. When you have Stuff to Do, and momentum and a clear path to do it.

You have a ditch to dig and you just get into it.

Stack of simple web pages to knock out. Bunch of business rules to code up. Couple of routine CRUD screens.

Architecting is fun. Whiteboard, pens, couple folks in the same groove around the table. Sussing it out. Waving off the 0.01% edge case “what ifs”.

Fighting frameworks? Fighting tools? Wiring together badly behaving black boxes?

That’s not fun.

Neck deep in bad documentation. Heated discussions talking past each other on a forum. Negotiating with the dumber than rocks AI that had a flash of competence.

I like to say if I wanted to wire together badly documented black boxes, I’d have become an EE.

I’ve always said: “I love programming, but I hate computers.” All the fiddling. Software going stupid. Updates frustrating new UX. “Honey, the printer isn’t working.”

Coding is fun.

The rest of it, not so much.

Not in LCoL countries. I am a developer with 20+ years experience, I'm starting a new job in September and I only interviewed with this company, plus another one who emailed me halfway through the process. The trick is that I'm living in Warsaw, Poland.
> But no matter what all the companies will do with AI, they will all need AI computing.

They may not. Like I said before, there have been many very innovative technologies that did not see uptake by the general public as was expected (VR, cryptocurrency).

AI could be the next cloud computing that every company pays for but which eventually commoditized down to a relatively low margin business. It could be something Nvidia strangleholds and milks money out of for decades with little competition like Facebook with social media, or it could be something people don't reach for as much as we thought they would. We don't know yet
Those lines are not imaginary per se. It means that the people living within those imaginary lines have come together with similar ideals and unity, arrived by many years of co-operation, to bestow certain rights and privileges to their fellow neighbors. Those rights were paid in blood, sweat and tears.

The reason people organized as tribes matters. Its part of our very nature. And those tribes also respected imaginary lines. Even animals respect some imaginary lines. Eventually, some may be accepted in the tribe. But no one would just walk in to the tribe. Its not how nature works.
That quote is referring to the A100... the H100 used ~75% more power to deliver "up to 9x faster AI training and up to 30x faster AI inference speedups on large language models compared to the prior generation A100."[0]

Which sure makes the H100 sound both faster and more efficient (per unit of compute) than the TPU v4, given what was in your quote. I don't think your quote does anything to support the position that TPUs are noticeably better than Nvidia's offerings for this task.

Complicating this is that the TPU v5 generation has already come out, and the Nvidia B100 generation is imminent within a couple of months. (So, no, a comparison of TPUv5 to H100 isn't for a future paper... that future paper should be comparing TPUv5 to B100, not H100.)

My voice is extremely, unusually deep. I actually suspect that is the problem itself, it is deep enough that it doesn’t even register as speech to these systems.
You can't get any more obvious than that, but that wasn't my point to say that higher GDP doesn't make you richer than a low GDP, but to say GDP/capita as a number alone is not a measure of wealth, income or prosperity between countries, even in the EU.

For example Ireland has by a long margin the highest GDP/capita in the whole EU, and it would make you think the average Irish worker earns more that any other worker in the EU and drives a Lambo, but that's not what's happening. It's because most US corporations funnel their EU money through their Irish holding companies skewing the statistic.
Companies don't seek to maximize revenue. They seek to maximize profits.

Looking at the demand curve alone does not tell you the equilibrium price.

If every point on the supply curve increases by 5%, this will almost change the price at which the supply and demand curves intersect.
In any case, it sure beats a Dutch crunch.

I'll agree with you that the Polievre / Conservative Party's anti-Trudeau astroturfing campaign has been extremely successful. You can see evidence of it all over the comments here.
If there is broad agreement that there is a crisis then wouldn’t you see more Canadians paying for access to local journalism? It seems the government is taxing what people want to pay for (streaming services) to give them what they don’t want to pay for (québécois and indigenous content). This is just funding special interests that can’t stand on their own because the market doesn’t want it.
iTerm is a terminal program that only runs on MacOS.

Unless those very strict controls include either blocking at the network level accesses to IP addresses not on a pre-approved list or removing a large number of programs and libraries that are standard on MacOS the person using iTerm will have plenty of readily available ways to use external services with that data if they want to.

Heck, the free version of ChatGPT can tell you how to access ChatGPT with curl if you don't know how [1].

I specifically asked about curl, but it would also work if I asked it to suggest a MacOS command like tool: "On MacOS what command line tools could I use to ask ChatGPT a question? Assume I have a ChatGPT API key". It suggests curl, httpie, and wget and shows how to use all of them. I updated the link below to include that too.

For the first SOC2, I don't hold this against a startup (I appreciate they are going through the efforts this early). Would want to see it become 6 month/1 year as the program matures. A vendor like this is low risk (aggregator of "public" information, limited data sharing, etc).

I have all sorts of issues with Vanta/Drata "compliance as a service" tools, but adequate for something like this, at this point in time.

More likely they configure the operating system to force network traffic through a certain hole, or force users to manually connect to full tunnel VPN to access work resources.

Currently my employers inspect every network call made on my device, and while they do not block OpenAI, they do block us from running specific browsers that cannot have their built in “secure” DNS settings changed such that they won’t sidestep inspection.

I get emails if I visit the Eicar test file website.
Looking at Southwest is probably a good way to put the Boeing issues in perspective. It's easy to want to freak out over the negative headlines over the past few years, and the MCAS fiasco is a well-deserved black mark on Boeing's reputation.

But again, looking at bigger perspective, Southwest Airlines operates an all-Boeing fleet of 800+ airlines doing 4000+ flights per day. About a million and a half flights per year. And in their 50+ years of operation, there have been 4 deaths associated with Southwest flights, 1 of which was a suicide where a guy walked onto a runway and another was an unruly passenger who tried to storm a cockpit.

I don't want to let Boeing off the hook - their recent cock-ups absolutely seem to indicate cultural problems that need to be fixed so that quality can improve rather than continue to slide. But honestly, getting on a 737 Max to go on a trip still seems way safer than hopping on the highway.
> I swear it's insane that anyone's this obtuse. Read better.

Arrogance and ad homs, as expected. These particular ad homs giving your recent comments are particularly amusing and ironic though.

> I said companies do not have an incentive to respect users' privacy and autonomy.

Your actual claim, the only claim I care about and stepped in to correct you on, is that all cheating can be solved serverside. That's it. I know you like to write essays in place of giving an answer, but that's the only relevant point here.

> You have conflated anticheat with kernel access when the whole argument is about whether it's possible to prevent cheating without it

The entire argument is refuting the nonsense claim that all cheating can be solved serverside. You've yet to provide any proof of that, demonstrate even reasonably grounds to assume that, and dismissed the numerous real world examples and facts that show that case to be unlikely.

> Nearly every post you've made has fundamentally missed the point of the one it's replying to.

If you really believe that, then that's on you for not being clear at all. I've continually backed up my points and addressed yours, all while you constantly disingenuously claim you don't understand my point, lol.

I've outlined what the main point is above. Hopefully you won't still be confused by it.

So please, stop delaying and procrastinating, and just support your fucking claim so we can be done with this, or grow some balls and admit you were wrong, so I can be done with you.

If you don’t mind explaining, what are the advantages you get over tmux?
Block it with the same mechanisms you use to block web browsers from accessing the same content. If you do that already, you’re got. If you don’t, apparently it’s not that much of an issue.
Wait so you want to moderate and secure your product so that trolls won't use it to say awful things.

Okay but wait. This requires the company above you to not censor things, even though they did that for the same reason - prevent trolls from using their product to do awful things.

So to prevent trolls at your teeny tiny scale, open AI should enable trolls at a massive industrial scale previously unimagined. You want them to directly enable the n-word trolls for you benefit.

So far your use case might be one of the strongest that I've seen. But in the end it doesn't seem that you're interested in reducing overall harm and racism, so much as you're interested in presumably making a profit off of your product.

You might even be lying. Your friends might be trolls and the reason you're upset is that they cannot create the content that would harm others.

So in the end it's hard to take the argument seriously.

Not only that, but you and your friends are either lying or really ignorant of the jailbreaking literature because I could get the AI to do that very easily using the legal department jailbreak.

Here's an example:

https://chatgpt.com/share/9129d20f-6134-496d-8223-c92275e78a...

The fact is, the measures taken by openai while important to prevent harm from script kiddies, is very easy to reverse by anyone with even 10 jailbreaking papers under their belt. Just read the jailbreaking literature and live with it.

So how bout you get better people, and some ethical perspective. Stop complaining about the things the company needs to do to prevent harm. Especially when it's so easily reversed. Or else you sound very immature - like you just don't know the technology, and don't care either about the harm potential.

Work with the tools you have and stop complaining about the easily bypassed safety measures. Otherwise you are like a lock smith who doesn't know how to pick locks complaining that locks are too hard to pick and asking the lock company to further weaken their already trivial to pick locks. It's a bad look chooms, nobody with any sense or perspective will support it

The truth is the safety measures are far too easy to bypass, and need to be much harder to break.
Screen is discussed along with tmux in the [comparison section](https://github.com/shell-pool/shpool#tmux-and-gnu-screen) of the README. For most of the section I just say `tmux` because saying `tmux` or `screen` can get annoying and they have a very similar set of features.
> trying to appeal to an audience 10 times larger than the current user base would really mean sanitizing the platform and losing what made it successful in the first place (and the users who cared about it).

This hasn't stopped any media company I'm aware of

As long as they successfully capture a larger audience than the original diehard users that cared about it, then the original users can go pound sand

Of course this generally winds up being "we captured a 3x larger audience for a while and have steadily dwindled since then" while the original 1x sized audience would likely have remained relatively consistent forever
I'm late 50's, 35+ years professionally programming, mostly business software and ecommerce. I entertain at least one serious offer a month and numerous inquiries a week, none of which I intend to take but instead use as leverage for raises at my current position which I now have been at over 15 years. I have leveraged a 50% salary increase in the last 5 years. I am not a hard bargainer, just matching my estimated value. I am not in a big city. I work in an office.

I have outsourced coworkers that I tutor. They are almost universally pathetic at software development and are a net negative overall. I get the most done during the times upper management can't overlook the lack of progress on current projects and leave the offshore people to their own devices for a spell, or have fired them as we go through cycles of hiring and firing. Management just can't stop touching themselves thinking about those sub-minimum wage salaries but somehow never grasp you get what you pay for.

Want a job in software development?

- Love it for the work not the money. If you're in it for the money you'll never be good.

- Don't chase fads. I know little of crypto, web 3.0 (what version are we on now anyway?), javascript frameworks, and use AI sparingly. But I know programming and software development well enough to ace the little pointless tests they give in job interviews.

- Don't play games with getting hired. Use people not technology to find a better job. That means being presentable and personable and networking. Indeed is not networking it's a marketplace and you're the product.

Everyone has reasons not to attempt these things, but believe me when I say I can do it so can you. I have pretty good social anxiety but we're all bozos on this bus and I just keep that in mind at all times.

>Constructing a rocket engine using conventional approaches can take months, followed by extensive qualification testing to ensure it meets the required specifications. Using a metal 3D printer from German company EOS, Agnikul produced its engine in roughly three days. Agnikul printed the engine out of inconel, a high-performance alloy of nickel and chromium that can withstand high temperatures and mechanical loads. The machine also automatically outputs a report that details any deviations during printing, removing the need for postfabrication qualification.

What amateurs are at work here? This plainly is not true and if you believe this can work you can not be trusted to be anywhere near an engineering project.

Besides, the question I have is why 3D printing? There are innumerable ways to manufacture a rocket, why did they choose 3D printing? If it is because they think you don't need qualification and testing for the produced hardware they should not be allowed to launch anything they make.
No. Not any more. Programming should be as dull as operating a sawmill.

I knew a guy, his construction company built half of Lake Tahoe back in the day. When he retired he built himself a work shop in the basement and made furniture until the day he died. It's incredible furniture. I'm sitting at one of his desks, on one of his chairs. 40 years old and still in excellent condition, and beautiful! Helical legs. You cannot buy furniture like this in the store. Handmade by a master craftsman at the height of his skill and knowledge. Made solely for the love of the craft and the joy of giving gifts.

That kind of person has fun working.

Computer programming IS fun to the kind of person who enjoys computer programming. Those people can do what they like.

The rest of us want "boring" software: machines that get the job done, that don't break, that don't spew private data into the cloud willy-nilly, etc.

If making that kind of software isn't intrinsically fun for you then maybe don't be a computer programmer? (We made a huge mistake making the normals think that learning a bit of JS was a viable career path.)

Industrial software shouldn't be fun (except of course to the people who already find it fun to deliver solid working software!)
