> Remember, broker's fees don't go to the landlord. They go to the brokers!

I'm pretty sure there are landlords that charge the brokers for the chance to show their units. The landlords can advertise rents that are $300 lower (but get a $500 cut of the broker fee), and then can raise the rent by $300 the next year, increasing the chance that the tenant will go to another one of their (or their buddy's) properties and pay another brokers fee.
Do you know what a huge amount of labor in your society depends on people who are not legal residents, or don’t have identity documentation?

You don’t want those people to not be able to buy food, or the next time you go and buy vegetables or fruits or chicken breast with your own shiny metal bank card, you might find yourself paying 5x the cost.

Its really an ingenious device, I've wanted to build one, just because I'm a phone nerd, think its cool.
Also; this is factually false. There are thousands and thousands of people who are citizens, legal residents with legal ID, and not fugitives, who cannot obtain bank accounts or bank cards.

There is a secret blacklist shared among the banks that cause them to deny or automatically close accounts held by certain people. They are not required to service anyone.

Do you not see the dangerous failure modes of allowing private companies to point and click cause someone to become persona non grata without due process? They also happily do so at the request of the state, again with no requirement of criminal wrongdoing or burden of proof, and no due process.
My high school math classes were mostly about solving problems. The most important was learning the formulas and the steps of the solution. The calculator was mostly a time saver for the actual computation. And once I move to university, almost all the numbers were replaced by letters.

One with ChatGPT about dbms questions and one with claude about socket programming.

Looking back are some questions a little stupid ? Yes. But affcourse they are! I am coming with zero knowledge trying to learn how the socket programming is happening here ? Which functions are begin pulled from which header files, etc.

In the end I just followed along with a random youtube video. When you say, you can get LLM to do anything, I agree. Now that I know how socket programming is happening, for next question in assignment about writing code for crc with socket programming, I asked it to generate code for socket programming, made the necessary changes, asked it generate seperate function for crc, integrated it manually and voila, assignment done.

But this is the execution phase, when I have the domain knowledge. During learning when the user asks stupid questions and the LLM's answer keep getting stupider, then using them is not practical.
It’s the other way around. Working at Google (or any other FAANG) for a time period past your personal “bullshit limit” will ensure you will never do anything ambitious with your life ever again.
Good paper on estimating a user's literacy from low-level system signals.

I had a project a few years ago where we used a similar software setup to measure focus/concentration versus distraction (measuring switching programs/focus of windows etc.). Users included lawyers so great care had to be taken to do the logging in a way that is not too detailed (to log the program name that is running is okay, but logging the open document's file name is NOT).

make -j4 for LLVM requires about 36GB (I know because I tried with 32GB). 16 gb is almost enough to maybe build a debug build of LLVM without threading, but it will take a few hours on a chip that slow. With only 8gb, you are going to be absolutely trashing your swap (which at pcie gen 1x2 speeds will be pretty darn torturous). I'm guessing this system will take ~8 hours to build LLVM.
I'm a bit surprised, given the mention of other Dreamcast games, that there's no mention of Airforce Delta's soundtrack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rR7C-9laJbs&list=PLbPd0JMiEH...

AFD's soundtrack is interesting because it tends to be superficially EDM-ish but still pulls in that jungle influence. Track 2 on that playlist is a perfect example: you have a very standard drum beat front and center, but you also have a heavily-chopped drum beat as texture from the very first moment. The resulting syncopated effect with the piano and synth cords is a nice touch (especially in that bit around the 2 minute mark, which itself is a nice introduction to a broader motif throughout the rest of the soundtrack, particularly the finale Track 24 - which itself is another great example of that "EDM main beat with jungle-like chopping as texture" style).

Occasionally that style flips around, though. Track 15 is a good example, where it's the chopped beat (albeit not severely) that takes front and center, yet again producing neat syncopated effects with the synth chords now in the more rigid role. Similar deal with Tracks 8, 10, and 13, though most of these are less afraid to move the chords into the off-beats.

And then there's my second-favorite track, Track 11, which deemphasizes the chopped drums a bit but instead chops up the synth arpeggios for the same effect of adding that nice bit of texture to the pulsing beat and soaring synths.

My favorite track, Track 7, alternates between a very pure-jungle sound across the board (with the drums and chords being heavily chopped and syncopated, often in support of nice long notes) and brief moments of that EDM-like pulse, to great effect.

And of course there's plenty of great stuff outside of that EDM/jungle hybrid, like Track 23's Harold-Faltermeyer-esque "Top Gun Anthem" knockoff, or the smooth-jazz-ish segues like Track 22.

All in all, a fantastic body of work that defined my childhood.

There are approximately three major dialects of C++. They are distinguished by major changes in what idiomatic code looks like, enabled by the addition of core features to the language that made it more efficient and type-safe to express many things.

The era of so-called “modern” C++ started with C++11, which was a radical reworking of the language. All prior versions of C++ are “legacy” or “classic”. Idiomatic code in “modern” and “classic” dialects almost look like different languages.

C++20 arguably marks a new dialect break but it doesn’t have a colloquial label to distinguish it from “legacy” and “modern” AFAIK. Idiomatic C++20 looks pretty foreign from a C++11 perspective (but is unambiguously an improvement).
For me, it's just that 20% is one fifth. One fifth of 20 is 4 and you add the remaining zeroes.

You mostly have common equivalences like this in your memory and you can be faster than computing the actual thing with arithmetic. Or have good approximations.

Yes. This is funny when I know what is happening and I can "guide" the LLM to the right answer. I feel that is the only correct way to use LLMs and it is very productive. However, for learning, I don't know how anyone can rely on them when we know this happens.

This statement is pretty representative of how she presents her ideas.
While not 8k, it was 4K-5k and definitely RAW. While never enough storage, we have achieved a point where disk I/O is not a bottle neck. It used to take a raid0 7 disk stripe to record SD video only while the audio was written to a separate drive. The fact we can record 8k RAW with audio on a single drive the size of a stick of RAM is crazy to compare. Smaller faster cheaper.
I'm not talking about her helping us to show up at a house—yes, we could have done that ourselves—I'm talking about how she helped us as first time home buyers to navigate the most intense housing market in decades and craft a persuasive offer that actually beat out multiple cash offers without losing us tons of money. We got the first house we made an offer on at a time when most young people in our shoes were despairing at ever getting a home.

That situation wasn't created by real estate agents, it was created by sub-inflation mortgage interest rates, and she solved it by deeply understanding what a home seller wants out of an offer. That's what a real estate agent is good for, and it's what I hope a larger percentage of agents are going to be good at now that the bad ones can't hide behind their monopoly.
That's the same logical fallacy that makes people think that small scale UBI experimental results apply if rolled out to the entire society. There are systemic and emergent effects that are not accounted for, and the only way to actually do the science is to make a copy of society and only do the change for one of the copies.

The value isn't in rote calculation, but the intuition that doing it gives you.

So yes, it's pretty useless for me to manually divide arbitrarily large numbers. But it's super useful for me to be able to reason around fractions and how that division plays out in practice.

Same goes for bash. Knowing the exact syntax is useless, but knowing what that glue script does and how it works is essential to understanding how your entire program works.

That's the piece I'm scared of. I've seen enough kids through tutoring that just plug numbers into their calculator arbitrarily. They don't have any clue when a number is off by a factor of 10 or what a reasonable calculation looks like. They don't really have a sense for when something is "too complicated" either, as the calculator does all of the work.

This gets to the root of the issue. The use case, and user experience, and thus outcome is, is remarkably different depending on your current ability.

Using AI to learn things is useful, because it helps you get terminology right, and helps you Google search well. For example say you need to know a Windows API, you can describe it snd get the name. Then Google how that works.

As an experienced user you can get it to write code. You're good enough to spot errors in the vote and basically just correct as you go. 90% right is good enough.

It's the in-between space which is hardest. You're an inexperienced dev looking to produce, not learn. But you lack the experience and knowledge to recognise the errors, or bad patterns, or whatever. Using AI you end up with stuff that's 'mostly right' - which in programming terms means broken.

This experience difference is why there's so much chatter about usefulness. To some groups it's very useful. To others it's a dangerous crutch.

Most of the garbage you see on TikTok is not data, unless you consider disinformation valuable, I personally do not.

To me "Safe API" means it's hard to use the API incorrectly. I see lots of poorly designed APIs where it's easy to use the API incorrectly and then you don't know you've used it incorrectly until (1) the edge case you weren't aware of appears (2) you get pwnd by an exploit because you used it wrong.

I teach basic statistics to computer scientists (in the context of quantitative research methods) and this year every single one of my group of 30+ students used ChatGPT to generate their final report (other than the obvious wording style, the visualizations all had the same visual language, so it was obvious). There were glaring, laughable errors in the analyses, graphs, conclusions, etc.

I remember when I was a student that my teachers would complain that we did “compilation-based programming” meaning we hit “compile” before we thought about the code we wrote, and let the compiler find the faults. ChatGPT is the new compiler: it creates results so fast that it’s literally more worth it to just turn them in and wait for the response than bothering to think about it. I’m sure a large amount of these students are passing their courses due to simple statistics (I.e. teachers being unable to catch every problematic submission).
Coincidently, I just got my paper version of the PDG today. I usually find it more useful for long period of searches and reading than the online version. Until of course I find a good e-ink device that handle a book like that.
I always said that cybersecurity is a field of rumors and deception, and has the general problem of unavailable statistics and measurements.

This problem, though, is multiple-fold. The author gave a non technical perspective, but I'd like to add some points that he missed in the article.

1. Companies have no legal incentives to share they've been breached. Quite the opposite, it's better from both a financial and a legal standpoint to keep it a secret. This has to change, and legislative bodies failed to do so.

2. Vendors don't have legal incentives either. If Siemens is breached, nobody knows about it. And that is very dangerous, considering their role in critical infrastructure. CERT tries to change this, but guess what, Siemens doesn't disclose shit there.

3. Software vendors don't even maintain their software and they get away with it. Look at Sophos, Fortinet and others. Multiple RCEs over the years due to them writing HTTP parsers in C++ without any quality improvements. Code is written so sloppy that even SQLi works, and apparently never improved upon and neither refactored.

4. All measurements are hypothetical. Especially risk management is completely made up. They always cheat themselves by claiming "this is not feasible", well, even though the RCEs are shared as PoCs on Telegram. Being blind to better sources of information actually helps them cheat their own metrics, and lazy teams are, well, lazy. This somehow crosses over with cyber intelligence now, but in general all ratings of CVEs are bogus and the only ones you can trust are Arch Linux and Alpine. Debian always closes their hardforked version freezed but affected packages as "won't fix/not affected", and then it turns out they get hacked, too. Happened a lot of times. Lots of distros have OVAL data available, which makes this at least discoverable if you write your own software (or use ours :) )

5. EDR software and inventory software are as disconnected from each other as possible, which is a huge mistake. If you ask a blueteam about how many devices are in their network, you will be baffled by their answers.

Source: Am building an EDR software for POSIX systems from scratch, that is able to analyze malware on both a network level and an in-memory disassembler level (written in go and ebpf) and tries to change the game mechanics with automated communication between EDR agents.
> I never understood why landlord brokers are even a thing in a market like NYC.

NYC is all about optimizing the grift.

Imagine a small-time landlord that owns six 20-unit 6-story buildings across Queens. When 1/3 of their inventory turns over in September (the busy time for apartments in NYC), do you think they want to run all over the borough to 500 showings until they finally get all of the units rented? Do you think they want to hire a staff that will show all the units? Hell no! They can, FOR FREE, just tell one (or several!) brokers, "if you manage to rent this unit out, you get to charge whatever fee you can get them to collect." And then they just need to do some paperwork when the broker finally lands someone.
Depends on how you would define "controls the world". Technically, I control the world (but only a tiny small speck of it).

I think with proper cycling posture you can take the pressure off of your wrists.

Use your back and shoulder muscles to support your upper body and arms, so that you can ride with elbows bent. If you can bend your elbows, you can avoid pushing on the handlebars for support. That will make for more comfortable wrists with or without a keyboard.

Same, I don't understand zwift, nor do I understand using a trainer outside of warming up before a time trial, xc or cyclocross race context.

The whole fun of cycling is to actually ride a bicycle, feel the wind, the road texture, notice the changing seasons in the landscape, rail corners at high speed...trainers annihilate all this and reduce this nice and enjoyable activity to a boring and terrible fitness activity. No screen would change that.
Usurping the powers of Congress is the real issue here. If the military did things and hid them from Congress and the President, then they are in big trouble. Air safety is a secondary issue. National security is a concern, but given how long no one has been able to figure out definitive answers maybe it doesn't matter. On the other hand, drones are real and have also been buzzing military installations; that seems like a real national security threat that has been largely ignored.
It’s insanely tough. I’m currently searching.

For context -
I’ve made 4 personal projects that currently have over 1000+ daily active users (numbers are ~1500, ~6000, ~14,000, and ~430,000) all created within the span of the last year. I’ve also sold software.

On top of all that, I have an Engineering degree, 4 years experience, no breaks in employment, study on my afternoons and weekends (C, Go, C#) and take extra university courses, and have some other high level achievements/recognition.

I apply for Intermediate and Senior positions.

So far I have 3 interviews lined up out of ~30-40 applications. About 10 rejections so far. 1 of those jobs is actually decent, the other 2 are desperation applications.

It’s brutal. I’m trying my absolute best, I don’t see how people that have been coasting have any chance.
