Not yet. It will probably start later this year: instead of hiring a junior swe, companies will buy gpt-5 or claude-4 subscriptions and ask senior engineers to deliver more.

Mass layoffs are still 2-3 years away, but I’m expecting this time next year the team I’m on will shrink because of AI.
I suspect that Social Security is not long for this world and the results will be tragic. Anyone think we’ll manage to maintain it in this age of low societal cohesion?

Not sure about squids in particular, but the easiest way isn't necessarily to find remains, but to see negative prints on sediments.
The Feedback Assistant issue you mentioned is probably one of the worst aspects of their software ecosystem. I haven't had a response on a single ticket that I've filed in there. It feels like an abandoned program, which is terrible UX considering its purpose.
Good luck with AOT as well, unless you hardcode the target hardware, like game consoles.
I agree with this. One of the reasons I think writing on TV and in movies is so poor these days is because it's a lot of young people whose only experience of the world is their city bubble, and Twitter. They have only ever seen a narrow slice of life, and their writing reflects that. Very much unlike great authors of years gone by, who had gone out and lived a wide swath of life (including hardship and death) before they wrote their great works.
Kind of seems like you are avoiding my point, or throwing up a straw man to argue against instead (with a dig at US for good measure).

Of course there are more rich people in China today than there were in decades past. That doesn't mean a rich kid of Red Note is good representation of the average Chinese, who is still poorer than the average Mexican, and trending in the wrong direction.
It is not, Android Auto still shows me the map while there is an incoming call, which CarPlay doesn't, on the same car. CarPlay's "incoming call" widget/popup blocks the entire view, I think Android Auto just displays something in a corner or something.
Alibaba launches RISC-V-based XuanTie C930 server CPU
Show HN: Convert PDF to JPG
As a guy your age I'm increasingly realizing our role in the corporate world is to get younger people to pull heroics for them.
It's entirely based on class/typed field definitions as opposed to functions.

It's also built on top of `argparse`, maintaining compatibility with their APIs and re-using their parsing logic.
My complaint isn't about new shiny, but new safe. Sandboxing apps on Linux is getting better but it still has a ways to go to catch up to macOS.

I'm talking about things like how a weather app shouldn't have access to the filesystem, or camera, or microphone, etc... A calculator shouldn't be able to see my location or even what networks I'm connected to.
Counterpoint: they will lock you down even harder, and you'll be dreaming of the possibilities that will present when they eventually move out.
C++/CLI is one example, it is C++, not C, but example holds.

My daughter uses one of my old 2017 Macbook pros (nice hardware, everything works fine). I learned yesterday that she cannot use Pages because OSX cannot be upgraded to 10.14, which is a requirement for Pages (I suspect the same thing will happen with other Apple software).

> If I ever feel down on the Mac, I can go to a PC and try make a pdf or view one.

After a restart (which happens a lot because the machine crashes a lot[0]), my Windows 10 box won't be "ready for use" for a good 10 minutes. I've seen it take 30 minutes. I've done macOS updates that have taken less time.

Oh and macOS doesn't randomly reboot to apply updates. Still haven't found a way to prevent Windows from doing that.

[0] I suspect the 3080 but it frequently crashes when idle on the desktop which shouldn't be stressing anything GPU-wise.
This has to be related to the curse of "can it scale?" that our industry is in love with. I think it is safe to say that MS Access and related programs were probably already covering a large majority of use cases back when they existed. On modern machines, they could probably cover larger companies better than folks want to admit.

Will they work for the largest companies out there? Of course not. This despite the fact that they probably did help get those companies off the ground.

I don't know, but missing scrollbars is very frustrating in some cases. I literally missed some configurations because of that when I first used a Mac. There was a configuration window that needed some scrolling to show all options, but I missed that because there is no scroll bars.

Yeah but I agree that everyone has their own flavors. I personally prefer the Windows 2000 ones...I'm old. Never liked the flat ones, looks soulless.
Yup, my core applications are Kitty, Vim, coreutils, Firefox, and pcmanfm.
> Computers cannot self-rewire like neurons

Computers don't need to "rewire" themselves, since neurons aren't implemented directly in hardware. When you do RLHF, the parameters inside the model are "rewired" in the sense that is relevant for the purpose of this discussion.

> No computer operates with the brain’s energy efficiency

No existing human-made computer operates with the brain's energy efficiency, true. But the premise isn't about specific computers, but computers in general. There's no reason to believe that a computer operating with the same efficiency is impossible. The efficiency of the human brain is still well within the limit imposed by thermodynamics, and everything above that limit is, in principle, possible.

> Human learning is continuous and unsupervised, which is not possible for any computer

This is just plainly not true. Continuous learning with existing LLMs is trivial (just too expensive to actually bother). Unsupervised learning is literally how LLMs are trained initially.
Not many things seem to be more urgent to the current admin than appeasing Putin.

The experience of browsing the iTunes store is laughably bad...

The back button that goes back multiple steps while losing context of stuff you had clicked in between, the way the search box is in a whole other part of the UI and it has a three mode toggle. The way that clearing the search phrase does a new search for "".

The other day I bought an album on Bandcamp and imported it. Music app adds a "show complete album" link when I view the album in my library. Instead of doing anything useful this link clicks through to a whole different album in the iTunes store.

Or yesterday I browsed to "Joni Mitchell" and got some kind of curated homepage for the artist with background image art etc. The albums are grouped under a series of headings ("60s/70s" and "80s/90s") that don't include all her albums. There's no way to 'view all'.

You literally can't reach say "Blue" without going back out and searching for it explicitly.

Just idiotic and broken features left right and centre.
An argument against the extraterrestrial hypothesis concerning UFOs
When I bought my first Mac (M2) I could reliably freeze the screenshot app by clicking 2-3 buttons in the right order. It was fixed months later at least.
To this day the mouse hover zoom animation for the dock freezes regularly and it happens on two separate devices. "Coincidentally" this animation was disabled by default. The preinstalled image viewer cannot open more than about 50 images without randomly distributing them across multiple windows and/or spamming a series of error messages telling me that some of the files cannot be accessed. When I click on certain video files in the file open dialog, some thumbnail process allocates over 25GB memory within seconds and the system becomes near unusable for a minute or two.

I would say it’s roughly comparable to Windows 10/11, which fell off a cliff in terms of quality. But to be fair Mac OS can handle much longer uptimes, today my Macbook force rebooted after about 250 days and it ran perfectly fine up to that point.
It's not entirely clear if you are seeking a+b+c, or 3 individual contributors.
For all the focus on STEM education in the past couple decades, I'm surprised cooking never really came back in vogue. Cooking is applied science that we have to do every day. I had to figure it all out in my late 20s, because shop and home ec were gutted in the 90s in my district.
> And they (China) are explicitly interested in overturning the global order.

- Putin is actively taking Ukrainian territory by force

- Trump is threatening to take Greenland, Canada and the Panama canal by (economic) force

- Xi Jinping is threatening to take Taiwanese territory by force

Of all three, Jinping seems like the smallest threat to the "world order".

If you're talking about economic power, that's a different story but I wouldn't call them "adversary" in that context.
While I absolutely loved the writing, I want to challenge that last part and the dichotomy created. Perfection is an ideal. You can strive towards it at 25 or 45. It's too deterministic to say as soon as you're in your forties, it's game over. Permanent imperfection. Pure facticity. No transcendence.

"[to be human] is to be constantly on the precipice of perfection – just a little further and you’ll get there – but you never get there."

> Am I going to get back the over $400K that I, and my employers have put into social security

Would you snatch tax cuts out of the mouths of poor suffering billionaires?!
Apple cannot figure out how to do a search in settings for the life of them. It's been broken on iOS basically since it was added. Do any googling about iOS settings search and you'll only find people talk about it to rant about how bad it is.
Yeah those statements were overly optimistic and I don’t think they’re representative of what most people in the JIT field think. It’s also not what I as a JIT engineer would have promised you.

The actual promise is just: JITs make dynamic languages faster and they are better at doing that than AOTs. I think lots of systems have delivered on that promise.
Yea im also getting tired of the constant updates and featuritis.

I still have a 16” Intel Macbook pro and looking for my next machine and am seriously considering a Linux notebook for the first time. Im mostly coding and doing docker stuff.
No excel and photoshop is a bit of an issue though.
>" but the importance of Blender's use here is that it opens the door to equivalently great (or even better!) story telling on (relatively) low budgets"

I agree that what they have achieved for "only $3M" is nothing but amazing. I have no idea how much money was saved by using Blender.
Indeed, this was literally the conclusion of the first paper that introduced polymorphic inline caches.

I'll add that the real benefit of ICs isn't just that compiled code is specialized to the seen types, but the fact that deoptimization guards are inserted, which split diamonds in the original general cases so that multiple downstream checks become redundant. So specialization is not just a local simplification but a global simplification to all dominated code in the context of the compilation unit.

Yep, that was it. It would have been nice if the page detected the reduced motion setting and displayed a message indicating why the demo wouldn't work in that case.
I think, however, the total count is extremely important.

Every University’s purported mission is to educate students and advance our collective knowledge together with its students.

That’s it.

If the university makes more money from treating patients than teaching its students, then its mission can’t help but shift.

Likewise if the bulk of the staff are not focused on teaching and educating, then its mission can’t help but shift.

This is a problem.
What is happening now is current software engineers are using it to make their jobs easier but they still have jobs. We are a long way from product people being able to ask AI to write production code. But we are probably pretty close to junior devs and interns being at risk.
Given the structured nature of the data, how does this compare to running a specialized classification model that looks for specific words in a review and uses those to assign Chefs to Restaurants? With some fine tuning, you might get more consistent results than feeding the reviews into a generative model.

I disagree. It is my observation that I also saw confirmed by bits of research that certain things as "simple" as programming or quantum physics are simply beyond the levels of abstraction attainable by majority of people.

Jack-of-all-trades with an emphasis on back-end services and infra. Presently bootstrapping projects from 0 -> 1 for my current employer while passively seeking new opportunities. I build stuff out in a well-tested, local-first fashion using LocalStack and Docker Compose then apply the Terraform in the cloud. I place great emphasis on shipping obvious, maintainable code that's well-typed and fails loudly. I'd be a great fit for a Series B or later start-up that's found PMF and has to start building things durably in an opinionated way. Let me know what you're up to!
> physics isn't just a good idea, it is the law.

That is awesome.
I just want to stress how much material science could advance us.

Space elevators / hooks, are the things I'm most excited for.
I see your point, but the examples I notice across fields including writing, demonstrate a strong preference towards [relative] youth.

- Neal Stephenson (My favorite fiction writer) published his first book in his early 30s
- Hemingway published great works in his early 20s
- Almost all of the most notable scientific breakthroughs in the 20th century were from individuals in their 20s. Schrodinger was the Old Man at 37!
- Most famous musicans started releasing their first, and often best, albums in their early 20s-early 30s. When they tour into old age, they're mostly playing their hits of youth.

I think, perhaps, the trend is even more pronounced in scientists than writers. Skews early-20s.

You can find exceptions, but the exceptions are often not that old, and in the anecdotes I think of (Favorite authors, writers, musicians etc), it's hard not to notice the trend of youth. I want to find this trend to be untrue because it can be depressing, but can't. (This is at the core of the article)

I hope they point it at the night sky and see a green star. That would be a very exciting event, as naturally green stars are not possible. I know that if I was an advanced "angler fish" type of civilization, that's definitely the lure I would use in a dark forest universe. on that note i hope the scientists are not stupid enough to send a signal to that star.
