> 'climate change' (to the extent it exists) isn't going to result in catastrophe for the first world

I feel like in your mind climate change is +3 degrees on your local thermometer and you skip all the other side effects like literal billions of people migrating north because their environment literally can't support human life anymore

You went from "it doesn't exist" to "maybe it exists but it won't impact me", you took a big step already

Aren't there things we can do to simplify the software stack, so we're more likely to find candidates with all the required skills in one package? There are certainly fashions we can push back against, e.g. premature use of microservices, Kubernetes, and distributed systems in general.
That’s why cooperatism is superior to socialism and capitalism. It’s a free market of worker-owned companies, creating things by running their businesses together.
Oh yeah, I've spent many hours on DELLs trying to solve S0ix sleep states... What a pain in the butt that is. There are few major pain points:

1) Every component has to be in the right "state of mind" in order for Si0x sleep to work properly. Do you have shitty NVMe that has buggy PCI powersaving? Too bad, battery will drain 10%/hour. Your yubikey keeps USB bus by constantly sending interrupts? Ha, enjoy your new backpack heater and watch out for fires...

2) It is extremely hard to debug these issues. I've figure out the yubikey and few things, but some of them are esoterical! ifconfig eth0 down = some part of Intel AMT stops sleeping and is now fully on all the time. Why? Because fck you, that's why. If you want to get some debug info, you can get some very cryptic state-flags for (some) components and you really have to guess what these really are - there is no documentation unfortunately.

3) UEFI is a mess - one would say that you want critical component, such as BIOS/boot chain to be as simple as possible and not* to be extensible in nature - because if some malicious code manages to get in the UEFI modules, you are simply hosed. But the other problem is that UEFI provides quite a lot of interfaces through ACPI and ACPI tables are buggy as hell. I had to patch DELL's DSDT tables in order to get back "deep" sleep - unfortunately it stopped working some time ago as they must have changed something somewehere and the computer would not wake up anymore... It is impossible to debug (or rather it is a royal pain to debug).

Because if you’ve never touched hardware, you haven’t seen the full gamut of what can go wrong. I don’t think everyone needs a rack in their house, but you can buy old tower servers for dirt cheap, and learn stuff.

In my career so far, the best Ops-adjacent people all had homelabs. I view it as a huge green flag if you have one. Not necessarily a red flag if you don’t, but it warrants some more questions. That’s not to say “I have a server” means you’re great; you could just be running Plex with nothing in IaC, no config management, no monitoring, etc.

If I remember correctly, Infineon already had a big TPM recall a while back. I remember my T470p had to first install a BIOS update to enable userspace updating of the TPM, then the TPM update itself. And I think some Yubikeys were replaced for free due to the same or similar issue.

I remember an undergraduate homework question that was just asking you to calculate the fourier transform of a gaussian of mean 0 and variance a. You get out a gaussian of mean 0 and variance 1/a.

I missed the significance of this, until we went over the homework with the TA and pointed out the implications of this result, heisenberg, etc.

It was very enjoyable that something I had previously taken as a sort of spooky truth of the quantum universe (Heisenberg's uncertainty principle) was actually just a pretty mechanically apparent consequence of some basic algebra on an EE homework.

You seem to be very cynical about the input of people with money. This "unproductive trust fund kid" seems to be a sort of caricature which is easy to rely on because it evokes the "undeserving rich".

In reality, inherited wealth leads to the security which can result in great feats in music, the arts, new business, and the growth of civil society.

And encouraging generations to rely on one another directly, rather than via a welfare state, ensures that people take care of each other properly.

The alternative is the sort of degenerate individualism which has so severely weakened western society.

"More than 76 percent of incarcerated workers report
that they are required to work or face additional
punishment such as solitary confinement, denial
of opportunities to reduce their sentence, and loss
of family visitation, or the inability to pay for basic
life necessities like bath soap. They have no right
to choose what type of work they do and are subject
to arbitrary, discriminatory, and punitive decisions
by the prison administrators who select their work
assignments."

You might claim that "incarcerated workers report" isn't solid evidence, but if you read the report you'll find that much of it was confirmed by responses to FOIA requests.

If you feel this way about the works of Neal Stephenson, might I suggest Cixin Liu?

Though well-done in it's own right, the 3-Body Problem Netflix series does not quite do justice to the intricacy of Liu's writing in the Remembrance of Earth's Past trilogy. You might find the change of pace to be somewhat jarring in comparison to Stephenson but it fulfills a similar enjoyment of Science Fiction.

I seriously challenge this mentality / interpretation of a retraction signalling fraud. This is absurd, and actively harmful.

Quite the contrary, a retraction is often a signal of good scientific citizenship and due diligence, which may well come from due diligence of the authors themselves, not just external validators.

NOT retracting a paper out of fear of being labelled a fraud and ostracised from the scientific community is a massive, unhealthy disincentive which we DEFINITELY do not need in the sciences.

The article is VERY careful not to paint retracted papers with such ludicrous stigma; the focus is very appropriately on authors who add "inherited" citations without the necessary due diligence (i.e. actually attempting to read the paper in question, and finding out it has been retracted, for whatever reason)
This is a great submission.

The logic for taming unbounded nondeterminism has been around for decades though. As Dijkstra and Scholten admit, it’s basically just applied lattice theory.

In fact, at a glance, this paper appears to be building on that foundation. It’s not hard to see how monotonicity makes reasoning about nondeterminism considerably more manageable!
Unlikely, I'd expect most people to not have a meltdown about this.

What's the situation with CPLEX these days? Is IBM still investing any serious resources into it? Gurobi keeps getting massively better (either in performance or expressiveness) every release.
Unless you’re an early hire, the odds are hideously stacked against you successfully arguing against complexity.

DHH isn’t always right, and his “you only need a server” mantra isn’t true for everyone, but IMO it is DEFINITELY true for nearly any startup that’s shown sustainable growth. By all means, use cheap cloud resources when you have minimal revenue (unless you already have someone who can administer Linux). But after that? Run a couple of boring servers and front then with a load balancer. You don’t need multi-regional HA at that stage, so don’t worry about it.
Altman Infrastructure Plan Aims to Spend Billions in US
Let's not ignore the fact that you call GameStop a meme-stock.

Please explain how it is a meme-stock in 2024 and what that even means? What's the definition? Like how is GameStop not a "real" stock or "real" company?

It has 4 billion cash on hand (for 10B market cap company), no debt and is profitable. It had NONE of that before RC bought himself in. How is that a declining company? Or how does this fall under "not much seems to be changing"?

Also "every positive thing that happened to the company, can be credited to the pumping of the stock" makes no sense at all. 3 of the 4 billion cash on hand was from stock offerings that happened this year. On 0 news. Every single spike in the past 3 years was on 0 news. You can keep blaming "pumping", that's fine. But you'll have to specify who's doing the pumping and why to make that statement have any meaning. It's unlikely that household investors are doing 100+ million volume A DAY in a company that issued around 300 million stocks total (referring to the 300%+ spike days this year on 0 news).

This is where binary search is not necessary. The admin could have just sent out unique messages, by making binary variations at 10 locations in the email (or ternary variations at 7 locations, or quaternary variations at 5 locations, etc.). E.g. choose 10 words, that can be replaced with a synonym, then generate 2^10 = 1024 unique messages to identify the leaker.

VMR is a simple, cross-platform, and well-designed version manager for multiple sdks and tools. It is totally created for general purpose.

Maybe you've already heard of fnm, gvm, nvm, pyenv, phpenv, etc. However, none of them can manage multiple programming languages. Managers like asdf-vm support multiple languages, but only works on unix-like systems, and annoyingly makes things look complicated. Therefore, VMR comes.

> Infra/Ops and programming are two different mindsets [...]

HARD disagree on this. I've done both. Most of the really excellent programmers I've worked with have, at least a little. You can't write highly reliable networking software without a deep understanding of how networking actually works. You can't write highly performing software without a deep understanding of the infrastructure and hardware it's running on. And so on.

I'm not trying to bersmirch yours or your teams abilities here - if you're writing in a high level language and most of your challenges are implementing biz logic then not knowing very much about the underlying infrastructure and hardware is fine, you aren't trying to write a distributed RDBMS, you probably don't need to know this stuff.

But do remember that there are lots of people for whom the hardware, the infrastructure and the application they're writing are inextricably linked. It's not a different mindset, it's just people with additional skills you haven't needed to learn yet.

It's the other way round. This is like asking if running RHEL is part of the specification? Obviously not. But RHEL provides an environment that is quite close to the specification.

So is running a busybox part of the specification? Obviously not. But Busybox provides an environment that is close to the speficiation.
This seems similar to the type of intrusive thoughts associated with OCD. It's like someone pretending to be God inside your mind, making commentary on all the things you want or try to do, sometimes very cruel. I kind of think of it as the part of your mind that is involved in planning for the future is given a voice, or that your internal anxieties or fears or hopes become kind of like a separate entity alongside the normal conscious mind.

>Does ChatGPT just copy content and resell it?

Yes. Oodles of lawsuits claiming as such https://www.businessinsider.com/openai-lawsuit-copyrighted-d....

But yes the crux of it is financial and not algorithmic. Google ALSO uses AI. If google took sentences from 2 different web pages and stitched them together to form a paragraph, is that AI or search? [see google BERT]. What if they stitched together 3000 word-parts? What if they took sentences from 15 web pages, ranked them, and that's your view? See, it's all the same thing. openAI stitches together word-parts, by comparison.

Now when I say it's financial, when said information is presented, google gladly gives a hit to the site +/- add revenue if present. openAI does not do this. If openAI figured out how to do this then we'd be cooking with some gas.
