The guy is refusing to spend money on what you think is in "the [best] interests of wordpress users", presumably that is what you think is in your interests, and you're complaining about that.

It's a gpl project, if the people complaining about how it is maintained care, they are granted the right to step up and do something about it. For example fork it, either wholesale or a light version with things you don't like stripped.

Collectively, users have these rights. I don't think they have any right to expect the guys doing to work to do it for them, or even give the time of day to some leech-only "community" that shows no gratitude or useful contribution, just demands and entitlement, and doing as much as possible to blacken the name of the guy producing the work they are relying on.

The Soviet Union might be the only place where people were routinely diagnosed with schizotypy.

On the other hand I'm still a touch angry that it was missed in a psych eval I had in school that, I'm told, was a really superior psych eval for a kid in the 1970s. (Kohut's Analysis of the Self was a major discovery for me when I did a round of research trying to understand an crisis at work circa 2006 but I missed the literature connecting his work to schizotypy in the 1980s; a really good monograph came out in 2013 which fell into my hands a year ago... and I think "now it all makes sense" but "I lost so much time") It's hard to come out because (i) so much about it is offputting, and (ii) I find schizotypes on YouTube to be so annoying I can't stand to listen to them for more than 30 seconds. Those of you who think there's something weird about what I write here are right... It's what you get when you mix verbal intelligence too high to measure with a good measure of line noise. At least I find it easy to emphasize with people with schizophrenia and schizoaffective because "thought disorder" doesn't seem so strange to me.

I was at risk but dodged the bullet to get schizopherenia but I worry about psychotic dementia.

The whole zero-sum, straw man depiction of DEI initiatives is intellectually lazy, even if we ignore the ideology. When I've put effort into it, it's looked like:

* blinding candidate names from take-home or resumé reviews
* writing structured interview rubrics
* defining concrete soft skills and behaviors we're looking for, instead of "culture fit"

In a world without, say, sexism, the above practices would still lead to better hiring decisions. It just happens to be the case that in our world, making your hiring process better tends to make it less sexist; everything that rises must converge.

Nvidia has the polar opposite problem on their hands, they're one of the most Asian-overrepresented companies in America. 56% of employees are of Asian descent, in a country where Asians make up 6% of the population. Second largest market cap in the world. And yet, not a peep about it from the social justice folk, funny how that works.

There’s a simpler non malicious explanation for this. Asians know other Asians in tech and hire based on who they are familiar with rather than their ethnicity. It’s also why women managers tend to have more women in their teams.

It’s not malicious. Just a side effect of people’s network. Should that change? Yes. You want a heterogenous team. And this is exactly why DEI is important hahaha

Sure, intent matters. But you literally said:

> And, to be clear, even if 'diversity hires' did take place in the way you seem to imagine it, it wouldn't be racist to hire based on diversity as it's not done from a basis of racial superiority.

To change up the words a bit to make it more clear:

> And, to be clear, even if 'diversity hires' did take place in the way you seem to imagine it, it wouldn't be racist to hire based on [race] as it's not done from a basis of racial superiority.

"It's not racist to be racist, if it's not done from a basis of racial superiority."

To be brutally frank, it is racist to be racist. The outcome of being racist _can_ be good! It absolutely can be good! But, it's critically important for the folks who are developing and implementing racist policies in order to produce genuinely good outcomes to be brutally honest with themselves about what they're doing so that they also implement deliberate, honest review into their policies so that they know when they can stop being racist.

Without building in a "Okay, our mission is accomplished and we're done. Let's go back to treating everyone equally again." decision point, policies like these mutate into nothing more than getting your turn with the proverbial boot stamping on a human face forever.
Fifty years ago in Ontario, Canada if you were a single adult destitute with no income you would be eligible for general welfare which would pay about $180 a month, when the average rent on 1 bedroom apartment in Toronto was about $150 a month. Today, an adult in the same position gets about $800 while rent is $1300. It used to be possible to afford (slummy) housing at market rates, even for the very poor. Now it is not. It can be viewed either as a housing price issue or an income inadequacy issue.
On the one hand, yay for being brave enough to share predictions.

On the other, I share the author's complete lack of confidence in being able to make any accurate predictions here. Many will make predictions. Some, by chance, will be correct.
> So my dystopian prediction for 2031 is that if that form of AGI has come to pass it will be accompanied by extraordinarily bad economic outcomes and mass civil unrest.

I guess six years is the longest time horizon in the question but that "if" around AGI and its impact does a lot of work. This maybe assumes it'll happen sooner? Or, is it similar to the AI art prediction where the 6 year horizon is just a long enough period of time such that we'll see if we're headed towards AGI?
The OP is anxious to predict the future because he has been wrong or late in the past, but that should simply been seen as a first attempt.

Because there is enormous value in predicting somewhat well, it's only fair that a first round doesn't go very well. In fact, there are studies that professional economists routinely perform worse than "the ordinary person in the street" regarding their (economic) forecasts!

It's a great idea to publish predictions and then to look back and reflect, because it fine-tunes (to use a fashionable AI term) one's ability to predict better.

Also, check out the research by Philip E. Tetlock and co-workers for academics that have studied people's ability to predict, and the book "Superforecasters" for the story of some people who are particularly great at it (I met one MIT physics Ph.D. who works for the European Commission part of that group once).
That’s the goal of DEI; recognizing that scenarios like two hundred years of all male, all white SCOTUS judges and Presidents and all the other top slots was probably not due to them being inherently better than every non-white, non-male otherwise eligible person in the country.

Both of these are incorrect. There's plenty of evidence of trade between disparate groups and plenty of evidence of art, craft, etc. that indicate our pre-agricultural ancestors had free time and contact with other groups.

The takeaway is that the extra length of the arc is likely much smaller than one would intuitively expect. The problem is usually framed like so: If you wrapped a rope around the earth, how much more rope would you need to add so that it would be 1 meter above the ground at all points? The answer is only 2π meters!

It certainly is not there for the customer, as their core business of exclusionary membership is a quintessential example of systemic racism and classism via disproportionate impact.
Well, just one data point for you (YMMV), but in "DEI" contexts I've been a part of, class diversity did actually come up somewhat regularly. I would not say corp diversity efforts I saw were all that successful in staffing that demographic—but they also weren't that successful in staffing minorities either. Mostly I think this reflects a consistent disconnect between what people wanted corp diversity efforts to be, and what they really were.

With all that said I do have a story of my own like this. In 2013 or so I wrote some stuff about spam detection and a Twitter engineer reached out about a job. I was an outgoing new grad from the University of Utah. When I got through with the loop the recruiter said, "How did you get here, we don't get many candidates from Utah." I still wonder what they wanted me to think when I heard that. What I actually felt was deeply out of place and uncomfortable. And it has affected every hiring process I've been apart of since.
I can't really speak to modern stuff, and it is certainly possible my memory is faulty. Scala was a PITA in the early 2000s and you were generally better served with something else if you could move off the JVM. Clojure came in about mid 2000s and seemed to be what a bunch of people stuck on the JVM but doing data processing were desperate to find.

My feeling was that a lot of Clojure folks moved on as the data processing stuff moved on from Java/JVM.

My impression has been that JVM-based languages have effectively been on a steady general decline for a while now. Java has fixed a lot of its issues; Kotlin gave the Java expats somewhere to go. And Javascript/Node along with Go drained out the general masses who didn't really want to be on the JVM anyhow.

However, it is interesting that Clojure has effectively disappeared in those rankings.

1. It would be nice if there was a short video, gif, or webm showing TubePen working. I see the image examples and they are nice, but seeing it "in motion" would be a nice reassurance before signing up.

2. I use brave browser on mobile to watch youtube, so videos automatically set to m.youtube.com/whatever. In order for me to try TubePem on mobile I had to drop the leading "m" subdomain and switch youtube to TubePen. Not sure if you could get things working with the subdomain m.tubepen.com, but it might be nice.

Anyway, cool idea. I hope it does well. :)

> But why do you assume that stocks are going up 7% and housing is only going up 2%?

I figure a conservative estimate of housing over time is to match the fed target for inflation.

Your initial statement leverages a $50k down payment to make a $500k investment. Stocks can't reasonably do that: a $50k investment is all you have. However, at some point the higher rate of return from stocks will eclipse the value of the house, which was my initial assumption. How long that takes depends on so many unpredictable factors. A 10-year or 50-year mortgage greatly affects the math.

It would be interesting to analyze the data and calculate a rent/buy/invest chart for different geographical areas and various types of investments.

There could be an issue whereby some attacker controls the hash inputs which happen to be integers, and chooses a sequence which collides to the same hash value. It would be easy to identify such a sequence.

It just doesn't seem to have been identified as a real isssue, probably because the most commonly hashed external data is character strings. (For those, there are countermeasures like a properly scrambled hashing function, modified by a seed that can be randomized.)

On GPON or XGSPON, sending 1490nm on the upstream will have no effect unless you get to incredibly high power levels where they cause damage to the transmit laser on the OLT's optics for GPON (many dB higher for XGSPON). Fibre optic cables and PLC splitters don't reflect signals at significant levels (directivity is typically >= 55dB). I have unintentionally tested this by accidentally connecting 2 different GPON segments together in a splitter cabinet; nothing broke.

On GPON, 1310nm light launched at 2-8dB and 1270nm light at similar power levels on XGSPON is enough to blind the OLT from being able to receive signals from other ONUs. Risk-wise, it's the same as cable modems that can spray noise over the upstream channel. But most people aren't interested in launching DoS attacks that take themselves offline.

In a functioning economy, people won't be feeling pressure to move into a handful of population centers.

Canada has PLENTY of free space for construction, and modern construction is pretty cheap and efficient. But economic forces are concentrating the growth in a few areas. Well-intentioned efforts to force "affordable housing" and "walkable neighborhoods" make these forces even worse.

The root cause fix is to stop the economic forces that pack people into ever smaller areas.
Oh fabulous! :)
To be fair, I do enjoy that you can start programs like Rollercoaster Tycoon, written mostly in assembly, still in Windows 7 (maybe even newer, I haven't used Windows in a while) and it mostly all works. I'm not aware that there are characters that can't be represented by the UTF-16 encoding (that will, according to the article, also widen further when necessary) which has been in use for decades now. I don't feel like this is character encoding still being a mess as much as legacy causing a mess: without those legacy binaries, translation wouldn't be needed and there wouldn't be a problem since the newer encoding is long there

I find encoding to be a mostly solved problem in any software that supports /UTF-[0-9]+/. Can't remember the last time I ran into an encoding issue, maybe it was when I ran PHP on a Windows server years and years ago, which defaulted to passing query parameters in ISO-8859-15 or something, which didn't work with html escaping (returned a blank string, so failing in a safe and obvious way iirc) if you didn't specify the character set. I personally converted, or set, everything I create or use to UTF-8 by now

Live service games are a phenomenon of securing income streams. In the cultural era this live service has been done by (let's face it) mostly children such as formerly you and me.

There never was a significant beneficial income (or rather: profit) stream. Only a stream of (self-limiting, but sometimes long lasting) experiences.

I have thousands of hours on a multiplayer game that cost 20 bucks. Its obscure sub-community has lived on for 20 years largely self hosted despite the formal "need for development".

I get that this also is about the ever precarious profession of an artist, but the market may simply not be as large. Content creators (hate to use the term) work for a living at the margins to create ever more stuff, to squeeze through the tight attention grid (dozens of games get published on Steam every day now!)

This creates pressure and it motivates the need for repeatability of transactions, so this story may not necessarily be about greedy execs alone (though it certainly can be!).

I find it ultimately tragic. So much creative talent chasing too little attention and only the most predative sustaining. When the market was more restricted these effects weren't as pronounced and you could more readily create mythologies (such as around Half Life or FF7)
