> Also your last line (Deadlines are poverty) suggests that it’s a term you use a lot in your company - want to expand?

Nah, I just invented it to make the comment feel more edgy. Your question made me realize that that's the only reason it was in there, so I edited it out. I mean I do believe that deadlines are poverty but the comment is sufficiently controversial without it.

Basically, I think the idea of hiring highly intelligent and creative people, and then forcing them to work on assigned tasks on sticky notes given to them by "product managers", is an extremely brutal destruction of capital. Sucking the joy out of creative engineers seems like a very costly idea to me, and I'm not convinced that the project management benefits of doing so exceed that cost. Just see how fast and well and enthusiastic people can code when doing eg open source projects, or hackathons, or entire browsers (Ladybird), and so on. I think as a leader you should want to channel that joy and enthusiasm for your company's (and your people's) benefit. If you give people a lot of trust and freedom, and build a culture of eagerness to ship, you can get that. Deadlines then are an extreme buzzkill and I firmly believe it makes people less productive in the long term, particularly because they'll just do worse work and that compounds quickly.
Time for another Year of Linux (TM) prediction:

Linux (and friends) do a lot of things on the command line. LLMs are good at writing text and using a command line interface. Creating LLMs and AIs takes relatively little work and is interesting, open source is especially good at this type of work. Therefore, I predict that Linux will keep pace with other operating systems when it comes to voice control.

The point of art is the expression of human experience and ability, but it frequently becomes perverted into serving capitalist tendencies. So:

1. Art becomes content
2. Automation to make life better becomes automation for profit
3. Life becomes meaningless achievement

At some point, there is always the counterpoint of balance and we don't have that.

Similar in Denmark.

My work mobile number is listed on the company website. I need to answer unknown calls from anywhere in the world, although I only get them every two months or so.

I can easily look through my whole call history. This year I seem to have had about six spam calls, and for the first time I bothered to work out how to block a number on Android — three of the calls were from the same number within a few days of each other.

I'm curious how this works in the USA for people that need to answer work calls — does the receptionist at a large company find 9 out of 10 calls coming in are spam? In some countries there are specific ranges for different types of numbers (all UK mobile phone numbers begin with 7, all numbers beginning with 3 are businesses/etc) which allows the spammer some basic filtering, but that's not the case in the USA.
I got so hopefuly by your comment I showed it my current bug that I'm working on, I even prepared everything first with my github issue, the relevant code, the terminal with the failing tests, and I pasted it the full contents of the file and explained carefully what I wanted to achieve. As I was doing this, it repeated back to me everything I said, saying things like "if I understand correctly you're showing me a file called foo dot see see pee" and "I see you have a github issue open called extraneous spaces in frobnicator issue number sixty six" and "I see you have shared some extensive code" and after some more of this "validation"-speak it started repeating the full contents of the file like "backquote backquote backquote forward slash star .. import ess tee dee colon colon .." and so on.

Not quite up to excited junior-level programmer standards yet. But maybe good for other things who knows.
That's why TFA recommends buying multiple domains. He literally has a formula:

(Desired Daily Volume / 60) x 1.1

He recommends that each domain have only 3 inboxes, and each inbox sends max 20 emails per day. So if you want to send 6000 emails per day, you should by 110 domains.

So block away! Unless you're using regexes, it won't make a big dent.
I think these are valid concerns, but I would also say that there is an underlying issue with medical malpractice and disregard for the suffering and needs of certain groups of society which we tend to brush under the rug. I'm going to assume the concerns you have probably don't stop at just euthanasia - mine definitely don't, and I worry that a ban just makes the issue more... abstract, and PR-friendly.

If an individual in a difficult life situation comes to the state for help as a last resort, and there is a chance the representative they are assigned would recommend they should consider just dying as their last resort, the state has already failed to protect someone vulnerable, and obviously won't be giving them the help they deserve/need/should be entitled to as a human.

Any wrongful death is horrible, but I sincerely believe a "representative" like this and the harm they inflict is going to have an almost identical death toll, even if it's by way of consigning people to sub-human lives of physical or mental torment instead of pushing them towards a tool that "everyone" understands we need to keep a close eye on. My utilitarian take would be that many would happily extend the torment of the terminally ill and suffering, as long as they don't have to deal with the suffering their neglect inflicts on countless vulnerable people and the terminally ill already. (For e-clarity, I don't mean to imply that's your motivation here!)
This is, in my opinion and without attributing any of my nonsense on you, my definition of conservative. The lesson from history that legitimate grievances left to fester justify radicals who do more damage than good.

You motivate more conservative people into government by making them uneasy about the number of radicals. Currently, in America the Republican Party is changing much faster than the Democratic Party. What’s uneasy in the Republican Party is that they’re no longer conservative; led by billionaires radicalized without accountability. That’s not hyperbole and it doesn’t mean a net negative this time around. It’s a challenge to study revolutions and judge who is following the right lessons today.

Developers are some of the most highly skilled and heavily paid workers in the tech world. But when it comes down to it, developers get to do very little of what they actually want to do: coding.

Amazon Web Services said in a post on Tuesday that developers report spending an average of “just one hour per day” on actual coding. But that doesn’t mean these workers twiddle their thumbs the remaining seven hours per day.

Instead, developers spend the majority of their time on “tedious, undifferentiated tasks such as learning codebases, writing and reviewing documentation, testing, managing deployments, troubleshooting issues or finding and fixing vulnerabilities,” according to Amazon Web Services.

But thanks to artificial intelligence, developers may be able to offload some of that tedious work. AWS announced new capabilities for its AI-powered assistant tool, Amazon Q Developer, which can help developers design, build, test, deploy and maintain software. This new product will “give more time back to developers to enable creativity and innovation,” Jessica Feng, senior manager of Amazon Q Developer at AWS, said during the company’s re:Invent event on Tuesday.
ROT13 also scales. Anything that uses minimal compute can be embarrisingly parallelizable.

I think it is more interesting how protobuf is used. I am not experienced in it but roughly it seems like you design a schema for tight packing data. Therefore there is more work in accepting a protobuf and you cant just add arbitrary fields and let old versions of sdks ignore em. I think!

This is good and bad. It is the schema vs schemaless and compile types. vs runtime types.

There is also the efficiency of protobuf vs slightly more verbose JSON.
Dropbox's business IS storage, which means running on top of storage is always going to be a threat and cut into their margins. What incentive does AWS have to give Dropbox a really sweet S3 deal? They know Dropbox needs the storage. It's like why it's better for a business to own the building its in, because if you become successful, your landlord has the incentive to increase your rent. This isn't about if AWS can provide a compelling bulk rate for S3, it's about if your business lives or dies based on the AWS deal renegotiation.
No typical OF consumer could do anything. Productive people who can file lolsuits don't jack off to screens.
Just tried it with science fiction, and it's good. The recommendations are solid.

I'd suggest a couple of things:

- Make it possible for us to rate the books in our "finished" pile. To avoid getting recommendations for books I've already read, I need to indicate that I've finished them and add them to my library, where they're used as fodder for recommendations. But there are some books in that pile that I liked more than others, and some that I didn't like at all. I'd rather not input a rating as text; it would be much faster and easier to give a star rating.

- I only got five recommendations at a time. Consider adding a "more" or "cont" button if I want to generate more recommendations along the same lines, without duplication.

And one note:

- The book cover images were often wrong. Maybe as much as 20% of the time. You might want to get rid of cover images entirely, actually.
The intent was probably "multiple", not "any".

Why David Mayer?
The time in my career where I worked hardest, and with little stress, was on a team that was kind of forgotten and so we were just doing our own thing without deadlines. We decided what we thought was best and started working towards it with a lot of energy and enthusiasm. The team went about a year without any deadlines and very little management of any form, and yet the team was happy and working. Then we lost some political battles and all got fired--but my point is, I've seen that people will work with enthusiasm on things they care about even without pressure.

I think the problem in my situation (above) was that we were disconnected from what was important. You solve this by ensuring everyone is directly connected with the customers. It sounds nice and I hope it continues to work for you and your company.

(It's a shame that this post has net-downvotes currently.)
Your prejudice is showing. Many are studying to be doctors, lawyers, engineers, computer programmers etc.
Kind of, ASCII isn't really random. You can give it a try yourself in your terminal:

$ text="Back in the day, one of IBM's early databases worked by storing memory into the graphics buffer, outside the field of view of the monitor, because writing directly to that memory space was faster on the hardware than anywhere else. (My dad wrote it when working for National Mutual)." && printf "P6\n$((${#text} / 3)) 1\n255\n$text" > test.ppm

The result is kind of dim because none of the characters are greater than 0x80. You can brighten it by changing the 255 to, say, 127.

The resulting file should open in most image viewing programs, though somewhat amusingly while writing this I messed up the format accidentally found a denial-of-service in Apple's ImageIO NetPBM parser :P
Not just Youtube. Most of the time unintentionally but, any personified information broker is manipulative in its nature. Watching vlogs or streamers, listening podcasts, reading post of social media accounts one follows. There is face between you and the information and that face becomes familiar to you.

It used to be that TV or newspapers or any other media was 'talking' to the audience (plural) now it talks to 'you' (singular).
Yes this is exactly what it is. I think there is so much haze built around it for last 15 years because corporates started using OSS as a means of viral marketing. Individual developers on the other hand saw it as a status enhancer. In this, the original principle of FSF, 'Free as in Freedom, not Free as in Free Beer' was forgotten completely. This in principle is what you have stated above.

The freedom to choose, not the entitlement to demand was the original promise of OSS

Viewed that way, the article's text is dominated by this over-the-top-highlighted bit in the second half:

> Swami Sivasubramanian, AWS VP of AI and data also wrote in an article published by Business Insider [ ... ] "I believe that AI isn’t coming to take away jobs—it’s coming to take away tasks,” Sivasubramanian wrote. “80% of employees’ time is consumed by low-value, repetitive, time-intensive, uninteresting tasks, while only 20% gets devoted to the more interesting activities that generate higher value for the organization.”

SO - Let's say you had an AI "programmer" assistant. Or several. Sadly, they weren't competent to write a single line of code. But they were perfectly happy being sent into endless meeting with the PHB's, suits, and whatever other infernal influences might infest your workplace.

Would that 10X your productivity?

it hasn't been canned and I have never heard anyone at work complain about JSON for any reason.

You could say it is network effects but if it were crap you could replace it much more easily than say moving from Python to Java or whatever. Especially for internal microservice stuff and perhaps front end.

JSON and the tooling is basically solid. It is a non-concern.
Nah. You don't have to feel excited about every single new bit of tech that comes along.

About 15 years ago I became interested in really advanced cryptography, because it was presented at a Bitcoin conference I went to. If you think AI is hard, that's kindergarten stuff compared to the maths behind zero knowledge proofs. And because nobody cared at that time outside of a handful of academics, there were no tutorials, blog posts or anything else to help. Just a giant mound of academic papers, often undated so it was hard to even figure out if what you were reading had been superseded already. But it seemed important, so I dived in and started reading papers.

At first, maybe only 5% of the words made sense. So I grabbed onto those 5%. I read a paper, put it down for a while, re-read it later and found I understood more. I talked to the researchers, emailed them, asked questions. I read the older papers that initiated the field, and that helped. It was a lot of work.

You know what? In the end, it was a waste of time. The knowledge ended up being useful primarily for explaining why I wasn't using those algorithms in my designs. A lot of the claims sounded useful but ended up not being so for complicated reasons, and anyway, I was mostly interested in what you could do with the tech rather than the tech itself. Turns out there's always a small number of people who are willing to dive in and make the magic happen in a nicely abstracted way for everyone else, for any kind of tech. QC is no different. There's, as far as I can tell, very little reason to learn it. If QC does ever "happen" it'll presumably 95% of the time be in the form of a cloud service where you upload problems that fit a quantum algorithm worked out by someone else, pay, and download the answer. Just like LLMs are - another topic where I was reading papers back in 2017 and that knowledge turned out to not be especially useful in regular life.

Learn the details of stuff if it naturally interests you. Ignore it if it doesn't. Being a specialist in an obscure domain can occasionally be like striking the jackpot, but it's rare and not something to feel bad about if you just don't want to.
Health care professionals consult with their patients to explore their needs and suggest options regularly. This is expected and normal.

The professionals making suggestions naturally have biases. That behavior gets a bit interesting when one of the options is euthanasia.

Here's a few cases:

I believe the parent-post was a joke about how LLMs (at least for these use-cases) are so inherently flawed that the real "solution" is to make them unusable.

Kind of like how the defects and dangers of using radium toothpaste can be "fixed" by permanently encasing each tube into an unopenable lead container.

Thank you, I'll encourage my colleagues to take everything we can from ValKey, because this is how it works: as the BSD allowed the fork, the BSD allows less liberal licenses to take back. The magic of very liberal licenses is that: they speed up human evolution (and we tried hard to retain the BSD for this reason).

About Vector Sets: it's absolutely ok to disagree here; but what is a good thing about having multiple forks of the original Redis is that you can see it as an optimization to search for the better Redis :D The Vector Set stuff, just to be clear, was not "company stimulated", it's something that I really want and I which I strongly believe.

One of the things I learnt about ADHD from my recent diagnosis is how it disrupts your perception of time compared to people without it. To me it doesn’t matter if there’s a deadline, my brain just does not perceive time in a way that makes it matter.

Of course I have strategies to manage this, and medication helps somewhat. But if I set a deadline for myself I’m never going to keep it.
