It’s not discriminatory at all! Or even the point OP is trying to make. Taking a significant number of jobs and outsourcing them overnight will quickly result in running out the talent pool in said country. It’s shortsighted and stupid because it assumes that there is an army of developers just sitting around standing by waiting for the next western tech company to give them high paying remote jobs. A large portion of that talent pool is already reserved by the biggest corporations.

Build up to it and foster growth in your overseas teams and you’ll do well. Thinking you can transform your department overnight _is_ a great way to boost your share price, cash out on a fat payday and walk away before your product quality tanks.
Soft Waste Enjoyer
I regularly watch my youtube subscriptions on the TV when folding clothes, etc.

It's so nice with some of the 4k content. And some channels (like Modern Wisdom) do these "cinematic" episodes that are also a feast for the eyes, not just the rest of your brain.
nah, people will do their research for cars.

median income in the US is still an unimpressive 58k and a reasonably well-maintained used-car would still represent a significant chunk of their income over several years. it's a car culture, and people care about that stuff -- they'll shop around.

as to if they can shop and resist marketing -- different discussion.
I get where you’re coming from, but the problem with LLMs is that you very regularly need a lot of back-and-forth with them to tease out the information you’re looking for. A more apt analogy might be a coworker that you have to follow up with three or four times, at an hour per. Not so appealing anymore. Doubly so when you have to stand up $2k+ of hardware for the privilege. If I’m paying good money to host something locally, I want decent performance.
Every job in the world is discriminatory if you take the less potent definition of the word. That's why we have job interviews, to explicitly discriminate. I presume you mean "discriminate in a bad way" but given the context I have no idea what that "bad way" is. Outsourcing has costs outside of just the up front payments, that isn't a secret and it has very little to do with technical expertise. Most software driven companies don't fall apart because of poorly implemented algorithms, they are more likely to do so because the humans have a difficult time interfacing in efficient ways and understanding and working towards the same goal together.

You can't just expect people from other countries to communicate as effectively as people who grew up right down the street from each other. Yes, it's objectively discriminatory, but not for hostile reasons.

>Until about five years ago, I got along with basically everyone. Sometimes, I knew, people didn’t care for me, but my impeccable get-along instincts and crushing fear of confrontation prevented things from coming to a head very often. And if I didn’t like someone, I’d try to never let them know, because even if the sight of them made my stomach curdle, I still wanted them to like me.

I usually don't mind a bit of self-deprecation but this makes it hard to want to read the rest of the article.

What evidence do we have that AI is actually replacing programmers already? The article treats messaging on this as a forgone conclusion, but I strongly suspect it's all hype-cycle BS to cover layoffs, or a misreading of "Meta pivots to AI" headlines.

They remind me of this really annoying coworker of mine who refuses to say "I don't know" to anything.

When he doesn't know the answer to something he speculates and spouts off best practices.

It's extremely frustrating to work with him. I'm particularly emotional as I write this comment because he just did it again!
I do prefer this get the job done approach and charging the customer. If there's no/low sales due to cost, then the customers don't value the feature and it can be cut.

One problem I can see with the split is that now 3 driving systems are being trained and some of them will have lower volumes of data.

I have a similar question. I always heard/read that the whole "pennies cost more to make than they're worth" argument was a red herring, in that it doesn't really matter how much they cost to make "at rest". But, rather, the value of a penny is in how much wealth it allows to be transferred over its life in circulation. In other words, if a penny does cost about 3.69 cents (or whatever they say the number is today) to mint, then it is "worth it" as long as the penny is used 4 times EVER.

I'll admit that I really haven't given much thought to the topic in any case. But, even in just the time it's taking me to write this comment, I'm realizing it's probably a little of both "sides" being right. After all, a penny is both a medium of exchange as well as a store of wealth/value, depending on how you use it...
Yes, Tavares resigned recently. Hope they become a better company, but their "Revenue increase program via software enabled cars" and what Jeep did with it doesn't inspire confidence, for now.
There's probably a 1 - 3 year half time on business critical applicatios created by generative AI. Longer for stuff nobody cares about.

Take a 1 - 3 year sabbatical, then charge 1000% markup when the AI slop owners come calling begging you to fix the stuff nobody understands.
Thanks; that's somewhat… ironic, I think is the correct word?

No one said anything about "no work", but that's an attractive straw man. Most people don't mind working hard, but they don't want to be exploited which is the point of the essay. Exploitation is rewarded under capitalism which must perpetuate the myths the author calls out to make it easier to exploit people.

Not in a balanced tree, since the further down the tree you go, the longer the shared prefix between the search key and node key becomes.

So the complexity becomes something like 1 + 2 + 3 + .. + log n = O(log^2 n).
We'll see what happens when push comes to shove.
Even though you need to declare a struct for this (or other) functions to receive these fields, I feel like this is the cleanest approach. What I'm not sure about is if reference, value, or pointer is the best way to let the compiler optimize this.

>tezza 4 hours ago | root | parent | next [–]

>as mentioned elsewhere, i personally introduce a pad element to get fire and forget consistency

Adding an extra pad entry is a cure much worse than the disease, and I'd expect it should be objectively obvious to anyone that you're introducing more complexity and noise than you're removing, so it's not just a matter of "style" when you're pointlessly increasing the amount of work, memory, and network traffic per row. But sadly some people are just blind to or careless about that kind of complexity and waste.

You might at least have the courtesy of writing a comment explaining "Ignore this extra unused pad argument because I'm just adding it to make the following commas line up." But that would make it even more painfully obvious that your solution was much worse than the problem you're trying to solve. You seem to have forgotten that other people have to read your code. Maybe just don't leave dumpster fires burning in your code that you want to forget in the first place.

As Guido so wisely puts it: "the complexity introduced by a solution to a design problem must be somehow proportional to the problem's importance".
To me, the experience of two huge murderballs endlessly chipping away at each other turn after turn has a way of emphasizing the brutality and futility of war. This is lost in Civ 5.
If you walk onto the train with a ticket you printed, I don't think I've ever been asked for an ID. I might if I were picking up a ticket at the station.

You definitely need ID for hotels a lot of the time. Not sure the level where the regulations are put in place--probably varies--and Europe is probably more formal than the US in this regard. Was staying with a friend in Europe about a year ago and they had to take our passports to the police station to make us "official."

As I wrote elsewhere, I also had a challenge in the US a few years back but I expect that, had I been at my usual chain, there would have been a discussion with the manager followed by "I see nothing, I hear nothing."
You need high chip volumes to justify the NRE cost of going to 2nm, or you're selling your chips with very high margins (ie. Nvidia).

> For hundreds of years, people have claimed that technological progress would soon liberate humanity from the need to work. Today we have capabilities our ancestors couldn’t have imagined, but those predictions still haven’t come true. In the US we actually work longer hours than we did a couple generations ago—the poor in order to survive, the rich in order to compete.

I’m missing something probably but isn’t quite opposite? Today we work about 40-50h per week vs 60-80+ in the past. Also, we can rely often on technology instead of doing everything manually. I’m truly curious what author of the article had in mind.

>> Connectors are actually extremely difficult to make.

While your points listed are valid, we have been making connectors that overcome these points for decades, in some cases approaching the century mark.

>> I'm not surprised at all that they are running into issues here, these cards are pulling 500+ watts. That is a LOT of current.

Nonsense. I used to work at an industrial power generation company. 500W is _nothing_. At 12VDC, that is 41.66A of current. A few, small, well made pins and wires can handle that. It should not be a big deal to overcome that. We have overcome that in cars (which undergo _extreme_ temperature and environmental changes, in mere minutes and hours, daily, for years), space stations (geez), appliances, and thousands of other industrial applications that you do not see (robots, cranes, elevators, equipment in fields and farmlands, equipment in mines, equipment misused by people)... and those systems fail less frequently than Nvidia connectors. But your comment would lead one to think that building a connector with twelve pins on it to handle a whopping (I am joking) 500W (not much, really, I have had connectors in equipment that needed to handle 1,000,000Watts of power, OUTDOORS, IN THE RAIN, and be taken apart and put back together DAILY) is an insurmountable task.
Keep the thought rolling: "Hey boss, someone has an idea to make my work less unhealthy to body and mind. I figured you make a lot off my pain and might want to implement some of those ideas. I understand the fairness of my work and compensation but you have not compensated my pain thus far. Nice custom car, btw, and I really like the size of your house. Maybe you want to build a school in there or something?"

And then there's the issue of sponsoring schools, hospitals, services and all kinds of shit not even remotely as often as it should be done even though the Pyramid of the benefits is stacked exactly that way.

So yeah, the whole "fair" thing is cool and all, but the entire system is a bit over-engineered against it.

The first step is being honest about if the problem is even solvable, and second if it is solvable would people really want what the solution means.

This article is dishonest in using a definition of work that excludes the vast majority of work people have done over history. The sexist view that women never work because watching kids, making clothing, washing clothing, preparing meals (all traditional things women did in various societies) was not real work, while the things men did (hunting, fishing) was real work.
LLMs, when trained on a language, provide a neutral representation of the statistics of that data set. Used correctly, that makes them perfect for this kind of task. You're reacting to global misuse of llms as databases, but llms as language models is what they are designed for. It's in the name.

Used judiciously as a model, there's no problem. They only become a problem when people try to treat them as a database.

I detested the idea of Wayland and the way it was marketed for years. Then a few months ago, after some frustration with X that I don't remember, I tried Wayland (with sway, since I was an i3 person) for the first time and have been pleasantly surprised at how well it works. It's not perfect, but neither is X. It does enough things better than X that I've decided to stick with it.

To be specific, configuring things like scaling, auto rotation on my laptop/tablet thing (and rotating the touch screen and stylus to match), and automatically using external displays as they are plugged in (with kanshi) has been much easier than with Xorg. Maybe if I was still just sitting at a desktop it would be different, but for these scenarios Wayland is nice.
I think it’s hard to tell with the signals we have on GitHub for example the difference between mature and dead as a project. Regardless of what a commit is for, it’s a sign that someone is watching and maintaining and any novel issue will likely be quickly addressed. I think this means new stuff always will have an advantage there.

- find someone to collect my garbage and recycling

- find someone to fix my utilities when broken

- find someone to put out fires - real ones

I know we're just ranting, and there are reasons for the seemingly bad designs. But I have a very recent 1200W Corsair (ATX 3.1/PCIe 5.1) which uses these special "type 5" mini connectors on the PSU side. It's painful to try and get your fingers between them to unclip a cable, and yesterday two of the clips broke off just trying to remove them. I ended up taking the whole PSU out just to make sure I didn't lose plastic clips into the PSU itself. It's fine now, but two of my cables will never latch again. Just, blah.

My first build used a Kingwin PSU from around 2007 which used "aircraft style" round connectors which easily plugged in then screwed down. It even had a ring of blue LEDs around the connectors. It was so cool and felt premium! Having that experience to compare to made the Corsair feel cheap despite being so much more powerful.
