Responsible Disclosure has two forms: Coordinated disclosure where the vuln is disclosed to the vendor with a time limit for public disclosure. Full disclosure, where the vuln is disclosed to the public so they can take mitigation steps.

Irresponsible disclosure is selling the vuln to criminal groups or intelligence agencies.
I’m assuming you mean “completely plastic free”. I’ve been slowly removing plastic and teflon from my kitchen and replacing it with wood, cast iron, glass, ceramic, and silicon as appropriate. This isn’t difficult at all, just expensive, esp if you have a lot of kitchen utensils.

I do meal prep and avoid eating takeout or frozen foods as much as possible, though I’m far from perfect.

I feel like this probably reduces my exposure to plastic particles by like 80% and the last 20% is unachievable unless I go live in the woods alone and hunt for food. So I’m pretty happy with it.

Surprised nobody has mentioned the PARA method. After years of ad-hoc organizing setups I started using it for both home and work (separately).

Best thing is it’s simple and gets out of the way, so I focus on what I’m trying to do and not on the metawork of maintaining some complex hierarchy. I looked at more complicated schemes like Johnny Decimal and they were not for me.

I organize my filesystem, notes app, and todo app in the same way. It works really well for me and has stopped the nagging desire to periodically optimize the system. It just gets out of the way so I can focus more.

I’m actually pretty neutral on Tiago Forte overall, not a big fan for various reasons. But his PARA system has been super useful for me. https://fortelabs.com/blog/para/
To be fair, I haven't touched real money in about 3 years.

If it's called "bank-coin"; "swedish crowns" or "bitcoin" it doesn't matter because it's all digital anyway.

On that count, the technological innovation is here, but it's centralised in a few "trusted" entities, just like everything.
If you pass one around long enough, it'll sure enough generate at least a couple of copies of it, so in the end you'd have 2002 VHS tapes on that wall :)
I was having some kind of issue the other day - browser cache corruption issue or ChatGPT hiccuped for a few minutes - but I needed to know an answer for a thing RIGHT NOW. I reluctantly went back to Google and searched for it the old way.

Just ... OMFG ... I used to do this all the time? This used to be how you learned things? You mean I get to read 10 sites and 25 dumb answers to get to a possibly correct one? And all the while I got ads coming at me for this and that. A friend was trying to decode some chat convo we had about GLP-1 drugs and get factual information.

Google search was nothing but direct ads selling "IF YOU LIKE OZEMPIC YOU WILL LOOOOOVE NOZEMPIC - ITS ALL NATURAL!!" and the content-mill blogs and such that tout the benefits of some "NOZEMPIC" variant.

AI has changed the way I learn and research. I have a very capable tutor on demand for any subject there is, any time I want to use it. Its mostly right or "good enough for government work" as the old guys say.

I was once an AI hater - now Im an AI evangelist and Im turning people in my sphere of influence into AI users too. Once you show them the value prop they totally get it. Learning and such no longer requires manual work for the 90% case.
Exactly this if it’s something you enjoy, you can easily spend magnitudes more money than you “need to” - for example I know a number of people who have spent more on power tools than many professional contractors will spend in their lives. They enjoy collecting tools they enjoy having them and they enjoy being ready for anything even if they never really use them. If you have the money and you can afford it and it’s something you enjoy who is it really hurting?
Because car manufacturers have such a clear decision making role in the legal and judicial process of a place like Milwaukee. It can't be that the government simply realized that they aren't legally obliged to deal with any problems the populace have and simply let them eat cake in a 21st century way.

It is clear to me that Sam has never set foot inside of a semiconductor manufacturing facility. Or, if he did he definitely wasn't paying attention to what was going on around him. I don't know how you could witness these things and then make glib statements about building 36 of them.

It will likely take well over a decade to recoup investment on any new chip fab at this point. Chasing ~4 customers on one narrow use case is nonsensical from the perspective of anyone running these companies.
The bigger problem is that we as a species get used to subpar things quickly. My dad's bicycle some 35 years ago was built like a tank. That thing never broke down and took enormous amounts of abuse and still kept going and going. Same with most stuff my family owned, when I was a kid.

Today, nearly anything I buy breaks in a year or two, is of poor quality and depressing to use. This is by design, of course. Just as we got used to cheap household items, bland buildings (there is just nothing artistic about modern houses or commercial buildings) etc, we will also get used to shitty movies, shitty fiction etc (we are well on our way).
You realise I shared the original article right? And OP shared the summary?
Grifters gonna grift-

My nerd hype died as I used gpt4+ and Claude 3.5+ whatever for coding tasks and realized if a human somewhere in the training data hadn't already solved a programming problem/wrote code for a solution the LLM's are useless for said problem.

They're useful as an assistant/junior coder to do repetitive tasks/things you/other humans already have already done tho. BUT that's not going to revolutionize programming as you already have to know how to code to use them.

* and "hallucinations" should be referred to as "bullshitting" when it comes to LLM's as that's what it really is.
That's still valuable though: For problem validation. It lowers the table stakes for building any sort of useful software, which all start simple.

Personally, I just use the hell out of Django for that. And since tools like that are already ridiculously productive, I don't see much upside from coding assistants. But by and large, so many of our tools are so surprisingly _bad_ at this, that I expect the LLM hype to have a lasting impact here. Even _if_ the solutions aren't actually LLMs, but just better tools, since we reconfigured how long something _should_ take.

> What if SWEs get 50% more efficient and they fire half?

Zero sum game or fixed lump of work fallacy. Think second order effects - now that we spend less time repeating known methods, we will take on more ambitious work. Competition between companies using human + AI will raise the bar. Software has been cannibalizing itself for 60 years, with each new language and framework, and yet employment is strong.
> Just ... OMFG ... I used to do this all the time? This used to be how you learned things?

No. Google is really not useful anymore, it wasn't like that. It is IMPOSSIBLE to search for what you want, Google just think they know what you want and literally change the words to match. It is crazy.
> Having things and photos are actually good for your soul. You go to a trip for one month, take photos, sometimes rewatching them helps them bring you back the good memories.

Is this categorically true? Asking honestly. I’ve thought about it a bit and haven’t come to a firm conclusion. Part of me thinks that human beings are supposed to forget a bit over time. Maybe forgetting is part of helping with mourning and grief, for example.

The reality is that without the existence of publishers the price of almost all texts would drift toward a minimum far below the worthwhileness of any author.

So maybe, like art, texts will become sheer passion projects - even technical texts. Otherwise, I'm sure LLMs will be able to replace their usefulness soon.
We tried to use it alongside pouchdb to provide offline first experience. We ran into a lot of issues, mainly with pouchdb bugs. Then after reading this list [1] of issues in the couchdb architecture we decided to ditch it and stop trying to make pouchdb work.

> The whole concept of coding feels pretty much the same today as back then.

The whole concept of programming languages has not changed that much. We have the two big pillars that is the Turing Machine and Lambda Calculus (and various others) Everything after that has been abstractions, and when the abstractions are good, we call them paradigms. But it's all abstractions, and ultimately we are just writing instructions for a really dumb machine to compute data for us.

> Why do I need to worry about small language specifics like brackets, terminators and so on when tools should be able to auto-complete them for me?

Because the computer is something really simple, and the programming language is just a idea conduit from your mind. Those delimiters are as important as the language keywords, because they are part of the RULES. Auto-completing them will require more RULES and more delimiters.

> You're editing a file (or parts of different files) and are focusing on say 5 methods that are interacting. I want to see all of them on the screen at the same time

Vim and Emacs. Or Smalltalk IDEs like Pharo

> Data conversion

Vim and Emacs macros. But the truth is data encodings are very important, because for the computer, it's all bits, we assigned meanings to these bits and enacted RULES that describes how to manipulate them according to these meanings. Morphing from a set of RULES to another will require more RULES.

I will urge you to try a live programming environment (SLIME for Common Lisp, Pharo for Smalltalk, The web inspector for Javascript (not great)). It feels like working on a boat in the middle of the sea instead of having it on land imagining what it feels to sail it.

I build an internal project using CouchDB2 as a backend in 2017 and it's still used today. CouchDB definitely surpassed my expectations in what has been possible to do with it. Its biggest advantages are that data sync is effortless and that it uses HTTP as a protocol, so you can communicate directly with it from a web application.

The US already has plenty of legislation regulating advertisements of other vices, so I think a similar ban is totally appropriate here.

We're reducing where we can. We have two young kids and threw out most of their plastic plates and cups. We kept a few for their utility.
Heat increases transmissibility, so don't put hot consumables in or on plastic and don't cook with plastics. Especially avoid plastic cooking utensils and styrofoam cups.
Currently we have an abundance of food and drink options, so just go without at the convenience store, choose the metal / glass options when necessary, or plan ahead by bringing a stainless steel or glass bottle. Most stores will let you put coffee or drink in your own container - it actually saves them the cost of a cup.
TFA recommends moving food from plastic and styrofoam containers into a glass one when buying take-out or from a grocery to reduce the time plastics have to leach into your foods. I've mentally equated it to smoking a cigarette.
One thing AI is good at is explaining things, we can retrain faster and better with it.
Over the last few years, AI has become more common than HI generally, not professionally. Professional knows the limits and scopes of their works and responsibilities, not the AI.

A few days ago, I visited a portfolio website and immediately realized that its English text was written with the help of AI or some online helper tools.

I love the idea to brainstorming with AI, but copying-pasting anything it throws at you blocks you for adding creativity to the process of making something good.

I believe using AI must complement HI (or IQ level) rather than mock it.

I bet the Studio Display would be beautiful to game on, especially for a colorful game like that!

I don't think the M2 can comfortably drive that resolution at 60 fps though :/ As much as I love Apple Silicon, the GPU is a lot weaker than a RTX card. Especially since it lacks any of the AI features.

GFN offers day passes and works with your Steam library if you want to give it a shot. You don't have to install anything, just sign up for a day and you can play No Man's Sky in a browser window at max settings. (But I think you might need the GFN app to play at full native resolution or with proper HDR, not sure).

Agreed.

I thought a forum of engineers would be more interested in the practical applications and possible future capabilities of LLMs, than in all these semantic arguments about whether something really is knowledge or really is art or really is perfect
On a small subsection of US roads, British roads for example don’t make any sense.

However, generally I think being a software developer might be not a career in 10 years which is terrible to think about. Designer too. And all of this is through stealing peoples work as their own.
I use NixOS on many of my machines, because it's also able to easily revert/roll back changes, plus you get declarative configuration and a bunch of other stuff that immutable, but imperative, distros don't give you.

If an AI can do my job, why would my employer fire me? Why wouldn’t they be excited to get 200% productivity out of me for the marginal cost of an AI seat license?

A lot of the predictions of job loss are predicated on an unspoken assumption that we’re sitting at “task maximum” so any increase in productivity must result in job loss. It’s only true if there is no more work to be done. But no one seems to be willing or able or even aware that they need to make that point substantively—to prove that there is no more work to be done.

Historically, humans have been absolutely terrible at predicting the types and volumes of future work. But we’ve been absolutely incredible at inventing new things to do to keep busy.
Anna's Archive is being sued, the court case has been going on for months [1].

This is actually the use that a number of private pilots I know personally - they fly an unfamiliar route in the simulator.

This is a very thoughtful post. I have witnessed similar gambling establishments in Japan/JRA and Hong Kong/HJC. Both are equally unappealing to me for various reasons that you mentioned.

Your post made me think more about sports betting vs a lottery. To me, they really are different. With a lottery, you need to wait days to get the result (mostly). The chance for multiple quick dopamine hits is exceedingly low. (Scratch tickets and high speed lottos are another matter.). Now think about sports betting: So many simultaneous events or races, so the customer (user?) has many more chances for multiple quick dopamine hits. Maybe a potential framework to talk about gambling harm is opportunities for for multiple quick dopamine hits. If very low, then many tolerate it in their community, especially if a significant portion goes to social causes.

One thing I am absolutely sure about: Advertising for sports betting should be banned. I put it in the same class as cigarette ads as a child. Damn they looked so cool and fun. What a terrible message to spread!

At any given moment we see these kinds comments on here. They all read like a burgeoning form of messianism: something is to come, and it will be terrible/glorious.

Behind either the fear or the hope, is necessarily some utter faith that a certain kind of future will happen. And I think thats the most interesting thing.

Because here is the thing, in this particular case you are afraid something inhuman will take control, will assert its meta-Darwinian power on humanity, leaving you and all of us totally at their whim. But how is this situation already not the case? Do look upon the earth right now and see something like benefits of autonomy or agency? Do you feel like you have power right now that will be taken away? Do you think the mechanism of statecraft and economy are somehow more "in our control" now then when the bad robot comes?

Does it not, when you lay it out, all feel kind of religious? Like that its a source, driver of the various ways you are thinking and going about your life, underlayed by a kernel of conviction we can at this point only call faith (faith in Moores law, faith that the planet wont burn up before, faith that consciousness is the kind of thing that can be stuffed in a GPU). Perhaps just a strong family resemblance? You've got an eschatology, various scavenged philosophies of the self and community, a certain but unknowable future time...

Just to say, take a page from Nietzsche. Don't be afraid of the gods, we killed them once, we can again!
Golf is boring to you because as you said, you suck at it. When you can play well enough to execute reasonably well the strategic aspect of the game opens up. But yes, match play and betting do make things fun in their own way too!

Non-general AI won't cause mass unemployment, for the same reason previous productivity-enhancing tech hasn't. So long as humans can create valuable output machines can't, the new, higher-output economy will figure out how to employ them. Some won't even have to switch jobs, because demand for what they provide will be higher as AI tools bring down production costs. This is plausible for SWEs. Other people will end up in jobs that come into existence as a result of new tech, or that presently seem too silly to pay many people for — this, too, is consistent with historical precedent. It can result in temporary dislocation if the transition is fast enough, but things sort themselves out.

It's really only AGI, by eclipsing human capabilities across all useful work, that breaks this dynamic and creates the prospect of permanent structural unemployment.
