This type of dependency is different to what I wrote about. I was talking about dependencies of your library that are fully internal and hidden from its users, whereas this example is much wider and closer to a dependency on the environment in which your library is being used.

The Google engineer is probably working directly on a product (or at least in a job function that is paid as if their members are working on the high-margin part of the business). The F500 manufacturing SWE is treated as part of the costs (and probably as NRE or overhead rather than as part of the product or even part of COGS).
I still think the real goal is achieving energy indepedence, so that Europe does not have to import fosil fules from some very questionable and problematic countries.

Currently this also simulatenously gives those contries more money, so they can be even bigger pain in the ass in the future.

I've met their voter base. The young, educated, city-dwelling part.

Of course they'll be back, but like every political movement based on cult of personality, they have no coherent plan what to do should Kaczyński die/retire, aside from infighting. Arguably the vultures started circling already. The MAGA party will face the same predicament once their leader inevitably leaves the stage.

My take is that since both Kaczyński and Trump haven't appointed a successor, their political projects will die with them. Their opponents need only to survive until that happens.

A taxonomy of partial engagement in software development would be an interesting topic. I've worked at quite a few places where there was something pathological I couldn't change or where I could have worked harder but it would have created a lot of strife with people who (don't work as hard|don't work as smart|don't see the big picture|aren't careful|don't know how to write joins in SQL|learned to design software by learning answers to interview questions|...)

In a case like that you can still get stuff done with 50% engagement, getting a lot more done might not be feasible without getting the support you need from your co-workers and if you lower your standards your life gets easier and you still get something done. It can sometimes feel pretty good and it can sometimes feel like dying inside.
To be clear, and reiterate, I stated "easy" in my top comment, not legally. "Legally" is irrelevant if you’re a motivated threat actor. Laws are there to dissuade the lazy or unsophisticated, and to prosecute those caught. ~50% of murders go unsolved in the US [1]. Firearms are heavily regulated in NYC, and yet, there are hundreds of deaths per year from them. Therefore, I believe availability (regardless of legality) is an important data point to surface as part of the discussion.

The most glaring problem with taxes of this form in the system we have today is that there is no way to price it that does not either price regular people out of the system or allow all regular people's assets that fall under this scheme to be purchased for (relative) peanuts by the superwealthy and megacorporations.

That is to say, the prices you'd have to set to prevent very wealthy bad actors from just buying up everything and holding everyone hostage to it are so high that regular people would never be able to sustain them. And once they have obtained all the Stuff, even if they can't change the rules to make it so they no longer have to pay, they only have to keep the Harberger prices high for a fairly short time for the rents they charge us to bleed us dry enough that we have no chance of buying any of it back.

Always makes me laugh when I read things like "2018 is still a long time ago" (no offense or downvote). But also the very thing that perl fought against. Your programming is not going to break for a long time (much longer than 6 years) because there is no reason for language features to change that quickly - certainly compsci theory does not change anywhere that fast.

It takes time to build very large projects like a large, layered programming language, and it should be normal to take many years to learn all the features of something like perl or raku. Because there should be no reason to do it all at once rather than be productive in the meantime.

So anyway, 6 years should not be much in the career of a programming language.
I wonder if there's some threshold to be crossed where it can be surprising for longer. I made a video game name generator long ago that just picks a word (or short phrase) from each of three columns. (The majority of the words / phrases are from me, though many other people have contributed.)

I haven't added any words or phrases to it in years, but I still use it regularly and somehow it still surprises me. Maybe the Spelunky-type approach can be surprising for longer; that is, make a bunch of hand-curated bits and pick from them randomly: https://tinysubversions.com/spelunkyGen/

I grew up on a farm in Saskatchewan, and have never seen a rat in my life. I've seen plenty of mice, and I've seen a handful of rat traps, but I've never actually seen a rat.

And I grew up on a farm in the 90s, no TV, no video games. I was outside shooting pellet guns, catching snakes, feeding kittens, riding dirt bikes my whole childhood. No rats.
Sure, if the situation changes in the future, then it could be reasonable. That's not the case currently.
From my experience, Rust programs are consistently high quality, just work, and deploy easily. I've rarely seen any well-known Rust projects that are garbage. Since Rust is still emerging in the corporate world, those proficient in it tend to be passionate engineers who take pride in writing solid code.

Rust’s steep learning curve is a pretty good filter too :)

> However, I think it's a bit odd to treat this type of use case as some sort of AI breakthrough that wasn't possible or wasn't frequently done in the past.

Classic computer vision is an utter PITA - especially when dealing with multiple libraries because everyone insists on using a different bit/byte order, pixel alignment, row/col padding, "where is 0/0 coordinate located and in which directions do the axes grow" and whatnot.

The modern "AI" stuff in contrast can be done by a human in natural language, with no prior experience in coding required.
What do you mean by "unhealthy state"?

Hollywood (the location) has always been skeazy/decrepit location (at least, after the 60s). Hollywood (the idea) is still going fine...other places have just developed their own media output too. One thing getting stronger doesn't mean the other is now sick, unless your only mental model is "defeatism". If anything, the US not being the only media producer in the world has made it easier for smaller/more indie/more culturally significant media to thrive in the US again.

As to Video Games, I don't even know how to tackle that. The US and Japan still dominate the video game market and have since the 80s (with the US solely dominating it before). And the American-led Independent/art games scene has been in it's golden age for about a decade now.

It's impossible to defend/explain something without a comparison point; but just your vague abstract comments are falsifiable on their face.

>> They do this because no one wants to work at their startup. How do you see this being solved then?

Not really. Startups cannot really operate without doers, and most doers want something out of the experience -- equity, money, promotion, etc.

I've seen two start-ups (one Series A SF startup with bigname VCs) which promoted VC-frields' kids while the doers waited and waited.

In one case, the "child" was 25yo, became manager 6mo later, became Director 6mo after that, became senior Director 6mo after that. Some facebook stalking revealed the relationship, some photos at Lake Tahoe.

Eventually the startup collapsed because there were so many senior folks w/o real experience. I saw the same individuals follow leadership to a new company, which also had a huge implosion.

Business schools call it a 2x2. A friend who teaches at a business school told me, "You can't be a business school prof if you don't have a two-by-two."

But the idea that every 2x2 is a state space that has some kind of attractor path in it only covers a subset of such plots. There are lots of other kinds that don't fit that paradigm, e.g. binary action vs binary outcome, diagnostic test pos/neg vs condition true/false, etc.

That could be true, but as any New Yorker knows, it is common for a rider to leave his rental bike unattended (leaning beside a scaffold) while the person tend their business in a building (eg. deliver takeout).

I would guess the assassin would not bother to shoot the guy, run to a dock, scan the QR code, unlock the bike and escape. He would have done so _before_ the assassination.
Compilers don't do liveness analysis on individual array elements. It's too much data to keep track of and would probably only be useful in incorrect code like this.

I used to work on an AI compiler where liveness analysis of individual tensor elements actually would have been useful. We still didn't do it because the compilation time/memory requirements would be insane.

Basically the point you made is an example of the Economics of Vibes. It's non-falsifiable and allows you to justify any position you want. We're about to start a global trade war, it seems, based on those vibes.

In point of fact household savings rate as a proportion of household income is not particularly low right now. In fact it had a huge spike during the pandemic (lots of assistance and nothing to buy, same thing that caused the inflation burp).
Nothing is of value until it is.
>Take tech out of the equation and the US is pretty much on par with EU

Disagree. It's not just the nature of the technology itself but the whole ecosystem -- including VC and education -- in Sillicon Valley that develops cutting edge computer tech, plus generally looser business regulation in the US and a culture of greater optimism nationally, especially relative to EU.

Certainly having a unified market (not just in regulation, government, and currency but also linguistically) has helped too especially given the network/winner-take-all effects of tech you mention. Yes the nature of technology is part of it. But it's not everything. It's a whole gestalt.

I mean, consider where we are right now, who set it up, who hangs out there, etc.
> And the middle class in the US already thinks they are struggling

Middle class financial issues in the US are age related. College debt, cost of raising children, buying a home combined with low entry wages put young people in a hole it takes 10-30 years to crawl out of. But when they do they quickly accumulate wealth. There are also a lot of people who choose to not save. That is a choice you don't have to make.

That is why it is partially true. There are many other factors as to great quality of life. If you have all those other factors as well then a rising tide can life your boat too. Some third world countries have seen this over the years, and others are seeing it now. Some have seen it and then something (often a coup) reverted them to bad quality of life.

And yes - rabies deaths from primate and dog bites are more common in undeveloped countries - but 60,000 p.a. is still a vanishingly small number compared to, say, malaria (600,000), TB (1,400,000), hep (1,100,000), diarrhoea (1,500,000), flu (650,000), schistosomiasis (200,000), and cars (1,300,000). I suppose the latter two aren’t scary, because you haven’t heard of one of them, and you use the other every day. There are bigger fish to fry.

Fortunately, dogs (and cats) are universally vaccinated against rabies in Europe, and we have no primates.
Sure, but only a small subset of problems have a hot path. You can easily offload huge tensor operations to C. That's the best possible case. More usually the "hot path" is fairly evenly distributed through your entire codebase. If you offload the hot path to C you'll end up rewriting the whole thing in C.
yes, just view source. No build step here, all CSS and JS is just on the one page.
Not the OP but I don't think that is who they are talking about. People who don't have money to save obviously are going have trouble saving it.

There is a certain subset of people, though, that do make money and actively choose to not save it. Kind of a perpetual "YOLO" attitude.

I don't think the OP was judging.
This is Albuquerque, which is a three hour drive. There used to be a couple of these specialists in a closer, smaller city, just two hours away. They have all gone. Along with more than half of the rural general practitioners in the surrounding 100 miles. One closed his practice entirely after completely failing to find a replacement. I recently went to an appointment with a specialist in Albuquerque that took me six months to get ... and spoke only with a nurse. No doctors are available even after that long. This was after six months of waiting while in pain and bleeding out of my ass daily.

Shortly before Obamacare I went to the same variety of specialist in that closer city. I called on a Monday and was in to see him on Thursday morning. Now, the three closest clinics to me have no doctors at all between them, just nurse practitioners and physician assistants. If your condition isn't on their short script you get an appointment in six months with a different nurse, or directions to the emergency room. I'm not claiming this is the general experience, but my experience has vastly enshittified.

The specialist nurse that took me six months to see? He ordered a test and scheduled me to come back and discuss it with him in another six months. Maybe I'll get another five minutes of his time then.

I have an objectively higher QoL than almost anyone in the EU or Japan who wasn't born rich.

After many years as a SWE without a college degree, I was able to buy a large 5 new 5 bedroom house within ~25 minutes of my employer in a beautiful city, I have a full time nanny for my children, a luxury car, padded retirement, and plenty of other money to buy what I want.

Where else can a smart, hardworking person achieve that who didn't come from generational wealth?

I'm not so unique either, I have some friends I've known who similarly didn't come from money and have been able to build up careers that support a wonderful lifestyle.

I hadn't heard of "whole word" reading or at least not to the point of reading about it, but from that article and the wiki page, my opinion is that it should be combined with phonics, they complement each other. There is no need to compete. Most of the whole word stragity is describing how I coped and masked my hidden dyslexia throughout school (only learned about it as an adult). The whole word stragity of using context clues got me through standardize testing with perfect reading scores.

Multiple times throughout school no one knew what to do with me in reading/English because I scored so highly, read so slowly, and hallucinated words if forced to read out loud (usually a word that meant the same thing but is written absolute nowhere, its the bane of my existence). I can not for the life of me sound out words to figure out the spelling, life would make a lot more sense if we all simply moved to using the phonetic transcription[0] way of spelling.

I mean really, "realise" wrong in the US, correct in UK--but it sounds like guise, so why should "guize" be wrong? Yeah it is confusing, especially for spelling. The 'whole word' way to memorize as many words as possible--I mean you have to do that anyway to know when to use things like "ize" or "ise" in American English. I'm guessing there are more examples and occurs in other languages as well(?). This one in particular caused unnecessary frustration for me in school.

Sounding out words(trying to) helps a little but it's more of a backup tool for me. My written vocabulary is vastly superior to my verbal simply because I can not pronounce all of the words I know. From my understanding, part of dyslexia can include the difficulty separating individual sounds.
