Thanks! Not sure, I think the term has been in the ether for a while.

Yeah, I see that too. I think for the longest time there was no leverage in doing this sort of retrofitting (except for grammarly type of use cases). But with better intent capture (llms help here), we can actually fix up any existing gaps!
Let’s not forget that the whole reason your company needs to upgrade all its subscriptions for SSO is so it can get a soc2 and offer its own high-priced enterprise plan (which is probably gated by SSO).
Meh. Most of them are using off the shelf stuff like Entra ID or Okta. They support complex configs but it's all on the side of the IDP. For the end service it's just SAML.
No, it is why 60% of Americans live in single family detached homes, not including the additional 10% who live in manufactured homes or single family attached. Not factoring in latent demand, or those who are in high-density living for reasons beyond their control, e.g. assisted living, college dorms, military, that should be excluded from the calculations.

San Francisco 2024 growth rate is minus 2.4 percent. NYC 2024 growth rate minus 2.0. Boston minus 1.0 percent. High rent is more likely the result of NYC, SF and Boston renters being on the bleeding edge of rent setting software. Lucky them.
>would have put American workers, businesses, and our economy at a competitive disadvantage

Do they really think American workers are moving en masse to EU/Asia or something? I don't even think they work that well if you emigrate.

We know the real reason. But PR at least needs to pretend to have a good excuse.
This is just Dunning-Kruger effect.
That’s it. Not everyone lives a life that leads to a perfect resume.
Good, administrative courts ran by political appointees is antithetical to democracy. Has everyone forgotten how the FCC supported net neutrality until a former Comcast CEO was appointed to run it, gutting net neutrality? People should be in communication with their Representatives and Senators, who in turn should be making laws based on the demands of the people, rather than administrative courts which are not beholden to the democratic process.
> Some of us believe that all parties should pay a fair price, the same price for a given product or service. I have some sympathy for that perspective. I myself have felt tempted to describe certain prices as ripoffs, saying something like “a bottle of water should not cost $8” while waiting to board a flight at SFO. It’s very natural for us to say things like that.

Airports are natural, government-administered monopolies, who then typically auction off the rights for firms to sell to a captive audience with little to no competition. This typically results in unfair and wasteful allocation of resources.
As they say, the grass is always greener. I’m lucky to have worked with enough colleagues who have immigrated from Europe to realize that the situation there is far from perfect.

For example they are making 30-50% the pay of a software engineer in California or New York, and that’s in a “rich” european country like Germany or France. The chance of owning a house is almost impossible. They don’t have access to open spaces even remotely like Colorado. Obviously what you prefer will be up to you, but the US has a lot more options in terms of the lifestyle you can choose from.
>I perfectly understand the rationale behind the pricing model. The point is that "only large enterprises need or care about SSO" is completely wrong-headed and detrimental to the overall security posture of any business customer. That is and should be unacceptable.

I made this comment the last time the SSO Tax question came up: We routinely deploy our platform to large customers for 6 or 7 figure contracts.
The number of them who actually deployed SSO (without just asking if we comply with it) is less than 20%.

Good. As the war in Ukraine shows.. the best guarantor of peace is a large stockpile of weapons.

I think tools like Copilot are best for people learning a popular programming language from scratch. You get better answers and easier problems to solve. The more experience you have the more you can outpace it in terms of correctness and appropriateness.

It is objectively a success lol. The elimination of preexisting conditions and annual/lifetime coverage caps alone was huge. Not to mention the tens of millions of people who received health insurance who wouldn't have had any at all.

It is insane to me you are going to sit there and try to act otherwise.
I’ve built a few using it, for example: https://prune.lol or https://github.com/tbrockman/browser-extension-for-opentelem...

The more I write browser extensions though it seems that there’s not as much benefit to it beyond compiling and bundling everything for you (and the build process does seem to get rather slow rather quickly for me).

The author is pretty open to pull requests and feedback when they have time though!
Kubernetes, AWS, Cloudformation and Terraform etc sort of work is still not good with AI.

The current AI code rocket ship is VSCcode + Perl/Python/Node+ReactJS + Co-Pilot.

This is basically a killer combination. Mostly because large amounts of Open source code is available out there for training models.

Im guessing there will be an industry wide standardisation, and Python use will see a further mad rise. On the longer run some AI first programming language and tooling will be available which will have first class integration with the whole workflow.

For now, forget about golang. Just use Python for turbo charged productivity.
If your threat model is “the most aggressive attackers” then your OS won’t matter much after you’ve been drugged and beaten with a wrench. (This is an xkcd joke from https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/538:_Security )
Just one thing to remember, especially if you are signing a contracting agreement: most companies will, by default, try to put all sorts of stipulations in these contracts that benefit them. A broad non-compete in a contracting agreement (especially, as another commenter noted, the ridiculousness of 10! years) is absurd, so you should always ask to have it removed. The whole point of contracting agreements is flexibility on both sides - it's insane for a company to want the flexibility in how they hire you but want you to have all the responsibilities of of being a full time employee (not like I think non-competes for FTEs should be enforceable either).

Point being, many/most companies know these clauses are insane, but they see no harm in try to throw in the kitchen sink in their contracts because they know a lot of people won't push back. But for the ones the do push back (in a reasonable fashion), decent companies will say "fine".

Not a fan of Copilot - having a chat bot separate from your coding environment feels much cleaner.
If you don't care about performance, we can make that code a lot shorter.

float Q_rsqrt(float number) {
return 1 / sqrt(number);
}

The "fast inverse square root" is absolutely 100% all about performance. For it to make sense to use as a counter-example, you need to show alternate code that still meets the contract (the contract being: be as fast as this code), that is longer, and clearer.
Well in a way yes. In most countries in Europe you're entitled to a significant lump sum when let go unless it's your fault e.g. negligence. Based on years worked.
Wait until you see the rental prices for large 2000sqft single family homes within driving distance.
The Conservancy is, as far as I can tell, a privately funded organization, not a taxpayer funded initiative. The biggest financial loss seems to be the $730k unpaid rent that the pier (also privately owned) waved to get them out faster.

Philadelphia has a $6.3B annual budget. I doubt public funding spent (if any at all) letting this ship stay idly docked while the conservancy chased the pipedream of a $400M ship renovation meaningfully impacted any of the other problems the city has.

"The city shouldn't spend money on X because Y is more expensive" is a lazy argument anyway, it's possible to do more than one thing at a time.
"At best they're redundant" sounds pretty bad to me.
Saving taxpayer money in meeting the Constitutional requirements to provide for the Nation's defense is a noble effort, especially seeing as the likely threats are going to be cheap and reasonably effective in a generally permissive environment, a'la Ukraine's lopsided offensive capability vs. Russian ships. Your target cost of $300K is so significantly less than current available munitions that I'm curious what you intend to use to, from what I know from my own experience (I was a very early hire on an aircraft development called the Javelin some years ago), to reduce the cost of small propulsion systems. The FJ-33 we were going to use was around $400K each at the time, and Google tells me it's still around that price. Their effort to build the cheaper FJ-22 was abandoned after we blew one up on the test stand. I don't keep up with propulsion any longer, but I'm curious what you think might replace them in the (guessing) $100K range.

Non-compete doesn't actually do anything useful for businesses, otherwise they would have happily pay workers for the privilege of not working for their competitors.

Since that basically happen approximately never, noncompete agreements without pay should be illegal.
There's no such thing as finishing a project. My most successful open source projects requires ongoing maintenance work to this day and the various dependency updates require constant refactoring.

To me something is done when it reaches a state where you don't feel you need to tend to it. But it's never actually done. The only things that are truly done are things that will never be used again.
> Congress absolutely has the right to regulate employment.

On what basis? What provision in the Constitution gives Congress that power?
It's very disappointing that we're at a point in time where this is important, but it is important. War is awful but ceding the western alliance, for all its flaws, to authoritarianism is far worse. Do what is right morally first, and for your business second, and good luck crossing the valley of death ;)
Thankfully, non-competes are still illegal under the National Labor Relations Act, as long as the NLRB doesn't change their current interpretation: https://www.reuters.com/markets/us/noncompete-agreements-vio...

Another reason this is just laughably ridiculous is that the place that has the most dynamic, innovative economy has banned non-competes for a long time, and there is a lot of good research (e.g. comparing California with Massachusetts) that concludes a key pillar in the rise of Silicon Valley was the prohibition on non-competes in California.
Probably a /s. Or one of those people that just love sitting in the office to have people to chat to and that everyone avoids because they have actual work to do :)

Supposedly the control system has been fixed by adding physical levers, with retrofits to existing ships.[1] Unclear if they're all coupled together, so that moving a lever at one location moves all the other levers. That's a standard feature available for commercial ships.
For two stations, it can be done with mechanical cables. Beyond that, there are electrical systems.

This is a known cause of accidents with ship controls with multiple control stations. There was a New York City Seastreak ferry crash in 2013 due to that.

I agree with you, creating something just feels better than reviewing code from a LLM intern ;D

That's why I almost never use the 'chat' panel in those AI-powered extensions, for I have to wait for the output and that will slow me down/kick me out of the flow.

However, I still strongly recommend that you have a try at *LLM auto completion* from Copilot(GitHub) or Copilot++(Cursor). From my experience it works just like context aware, intelligent snippets and heck, it's super fast - the response time is 0.5 ~ 1s on average behind a corporate proxy, sometimes even fast enough to predict what I'm currently typing.

I personally think that's where the AI coding hype is going to bear fruit - faster, smarter, context+documentation aware small snippets completion to eliminate the need for doc lookups. Multi file editing or full autonomous agent coding is too hyped.
Yes. Welcome to how insurance works.
This is the same for all features no?

If customers need additional human support for SSO then that can be charged separately.

In my experience most customers can get it working with no hassles or have hassle but their own tech resources figure it out. Few need to get support.

As a feature it is probably less work to implement and maintain than the simplest of product features.

YMMV if you have a complicated integration but if you just want to sign people in and assign them to a group for security it isn't hard.

Maybe we are talking cross purposes? I am talking about SSO with SAML and IdP rather than OAuth.

I suspect the reason for the SSO Tax is it is an predictor of "does this customer have money". Customers with more money to spend and absolutely need SSO to meet their policies will overlap alot.
I don't know, i think the best questions are the ones where candidates fully understand what is being asked about them. If they aren't able to self-assess did they really understand the question?
> You need much more than that for a good education.

No, not really. At Caltech, about half had a textbook, but the textbook was not referred to during lecture, and what was taught tended to diverge from the textbook.

> maps

The prof would freehand the salient aspects of a map and any other drawings required.

> literature

I never took any literature classes, as I saw no value in them. Even so, I cannot see the utility of a textbook during class.

> You're not going to be a good EE student if you can't model a circuit in Spice or draw one in some *CAD.

I had to laugh. None of that was available in the 70s.

I drew circuits freehand on paper. OMG. There were labs available for students building circuits, where the rubber really met the road.

I was not majoring in EE, I just enjoyed the classes. But the EEs Caltech turned out were all first class engineers. Taught by lectures with a blackboard and chalk.

Quantum physics was taught the same way. Not even a textbook.

The engineering work I did on the 757 was pen and paper, with a calculator as a crutch.

The most damning evidence against all these materials is that there is zero evidence of any improvement in K-12 results in the last 50 years, and things just seem to be getting worse.

> you need teaching manuals for every subject

Only for teachers who don't know the material.

Stoked you watched, thanks. (Sorry the example isn't the greatest/lacks context. The first video was better, but the mic gain was too high.)

You summed up the workflow accurately. Except, I read your first paragraph in a positive light, while I imagine you meant it to be negative.

Note the feedback loop you described is the same one as me delegating requirements to someone else (i.e. s/LLM/jr eng). And then reading/editing their PR. Except the feedback loop is, obviously, much tighter.

I've written a lot of tests, I think this would have taken 3-4x longer to do by hand. Surely an hour?

But even if all things were roughly equal, I like being in the navigator seat vs the driver seat. Editor vs writer. It helps me keep the big picture in mind, focused on requirements and architecture, not line-wise implementation details.

> Convenient trips from the Big Apple to the Big Easy. With service from New York City to New Orleans, the Crescent gives travelers a unique window to the beauty and heritage of the American South. You can tour Monticello or enjoy a wine tasting in the charming Virginia college town of Charlottesville. Or enjoy a stroll through the vibrant shopping and dining scene of Underground Atlanta. As you travel further south, you'll reach New Orleans, where you never run out of things to do. From jazz clubs to Cajun restaurants to Mississippi riverboat rides, the city was simply built to entertain.

So you'll have to change trains in NY to get to Boston, but one can definitely go from Atlanta to Boston by train.

In the end though, practically nobody would take a train from Atlanta to Boston. Even if you made it 200mph HSR, a direct flight would still be faster. And until both ends of that journey really make the city more walkable you're probably going to want to rent a car at your destination anyways so being at an airport at the edge of town versus the train station closer to downtown it doesn't make enough impact for most people.

Don't gete wrong I'm generally pro-train for good city pairs, but chances are I'd never take a train from say Dallas to Phoenix or Denver or Chicago. Flying will just practically always be faster. I'd take one to Houston or Austin or San Antonio though.
>>Sure you can find misleading or outdated blogposts or forum discussions with a google search but the information is far more grounded in correctness then anything from an LLM.

This was the case only 2 - 3 months back. But the assistants all moved to GPT-4/Sonnet and the newer versions are just a whole lot better and accurate.

That's the whole idea behind AI, when you do find something is wrong, the error function kicks in and the weights are tweaked to more correct values.

When GPT-5 comes along it will be another whole level accurate. In fact its already close to 90% accurate for most tasks with GPT-5 you can say that number could go to 95% or so. Which is actually fairly good enough for nearly all the production work you could do.

Of course in coming years, Im guessing coding without AI assistance will be somewhat similar to writing code on paper or something like that. You can still do it for fun, but you won't be any where productive at a job.
people say a lot of things. observe what they do.

Sure, they used the same overreaching to revoke abortion, and some states instated bans in record times.

If we had a proper congress, we wouldn't need to rely on these powers, but the supreme court has used their past 4 years to play into that chaos.
Even if this weren't thrown out, the rule would have been up for re-certification every 4 years with every single presidential election, including this one. Administrative rulemaking is an extremely fragile way to run a country with or without judicial review simply because a single nation-wide election can completely alter the administrative landscape overnight.

Making rules like this is Congress's job not just because some judge says so—it's Congress's job because only Congress can make laws that aren't perpetually at risk of being stripped out when a new party takes power.

I want non-competes to be banned permanently, not just banned until the political winds shift by 5%.
This is what annoys me about internal security teams. No, this doesn't make us vulnerable because it's in the DMZ, we have ACLs, it's behind a firewall, we have traffic monitoring, process monitoring, MFA, geofences, etc etc. Just because there's a possibility this could be exploited in some convoluted way in a targeted attack doesn't mean all the other walls we have stood up around this are suddenly useless. I'm constantly pestered and forced to waste my time explaining that your little CVE scanner tool is not the end all for our security posture.

Not to snap at you, but I'm forced to deal with these "what if" scenarios weekly and it drives me nuts. I know the security guys have a job to do, but I feel like half of their job is just trying to drum up scary looking things to justify their employment.

Is the output of average C students not commercially valuable in the listed fields? If AI is competing reliably with students then we've already hit AGI.

Yeah, these people claiming AI has been a transformative experience are just full of sh*t. I ask various models questions all the time because it's often better than googling, but all of them make a lot silly mistakes. Frequently, it can be a bit of a process to get useful results.
