Do I think that companies that host and share illegal content should be held liable? Of course I do. How could you possibly feel any other way?

I'm not shorting anything because I'm not a gambler and my opinion on what should be illegal has no basis in what actually is illegal in USA, a country I have never set foot in.

Cars from 20 years ago emit significantly more polluting substances. OTOH they are lighter weight and thus wear the roads less. On the third hand, none of them is electric or hybrid.

Some computers from 20 years ago are still in a good shap, but...

On some level, though this isn't quite what the person you're replying to was saying, it doesn't really matter whether AI actually can do any entry-level jobs. What matters is whether potential employers think it can.

To impact the labor market, they don't have to be correct about AI's performance, just confident enough in their high opinions of it to slow or stop their hiring.

Maybe in the long term, this will correct itself after the AI tools fail to get the job done (assuming they do fail, of course). But that doesn't help someone looking for a job today.
This is the kicker:

> How many of us have been forced to work on projects that make us sick to our stomachs - surveillance tech, data mining tools, algorithms that reinforce social biases - because we don’t have the power to say no?

Those unprivileged people that you're trying to compare tech workers to, in order to undermine this manifesto, are exactly those who are harmed by dark patterns.

Anyway that's besides the point. Your profile says "Co-founder and CTO" which means you are biased against unions. Your comments cannot be taken at face value, because you are incentivized to come up with any reason to side against this movement.
Back in the day, HP advertised that the distributed amplifiers in their 26.5 and 50 GHz equipment were made with e-beams, but the process size wasn't anything special, certainly not by today's standards. I'm not really sure what drove the decision.

Ah so mostly just absorbing structures as is. I was thinking there was some obscure annexation law or something from a long time ago I wasn't aware of.

Fully agreed.

The nature of free market is competition. And the nature of competition is to get more profit out of less people. It means longer hours, more focus, less complaint, less life. You think new technology is gonna save the poor workers coz it boosts productivity? Only temporarily until everyone has it. Then It's the same game all over again, pushing out new features, new compaigns, re-org, transformation around the clock.

Once one player in the market starts to work the longer hours, it's guaranteed to spread to every corner. Coz you need to up the game and catch up with the competition.

Endless grind.
Please. You don't make 10 figures on your work.

If it's opinion based, then it's trickier to pin it down to being either truth or lie, but if the opinion goes against the opinion of knowledgeable experts then I think that should be communicated too so that people can make a more informed judgement.

When the lies are about matters of fact, then politicians should be held to a similar standard as advertisers i.e. not allowed to just push completely false narratives without some consequence. Unfortunately it appears that the U.S. administration is frequently lying about factual issues such as with the NASA mission.
like two flammable gas clouds colliding perhaps. Literally one of the most energetic processes in the known universe, with 100x the rate of star formation.
I might have a proof that this list is complete (I am very tired though and should be sleeping instead of doing this, so my apologies if I'm wrong):
Because we can only get one extra by carrying, each digit of 2^(k - 1) is at most 4 (otherwise the next digit in 2^k will be odd).

Assume this list is complete up to 10^n. We find the biggest l such that 2^(5^(l - 1)*4) < 10^n. Let us consider the 10^(n+1) > 2^k > 10^n such that 2^k has all even digits.
By cyclicity of powers of 2 mod 10^l (that's why we chose this l), this means that 2^(k - 1) = a*10^l + b, where a is some integer and b is 1,2,4,32 or 1024 (because those are the only options with digits less than 5 mod 10^l). If l > 10,that means that we can divide by b to get 2^(k-1)/b = c*10^d + 1 where c and d are nonzero integers. But this is a contradiction.

Now we only need to show up to 2^(5^10 * 4) to allow l > 10, which has already been done by other comments.
I sometime hire web developers to do frontend for my clients. 90% of the time when I talk to them all I can hear is - can we use / rewrite with X/Y/Z/etc framework. Needless to say that I tell them to take a hike right away. I usually ask how would you implement this and that workflow using plain JS (using some specific libs is ok).
> The sperm bank hasn't disclosed how many individuals were affected, but says the files potentially accessed or acquired include names, Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, financial account details, and health insurance information.

Would an honest, competent sperm bank have that kind of information for anyone except their own employees?
His style is very much brain rot-like though. It's way more "entertainment" (though it isn't very entertaining to me) than informational content.
HF is definitely traceable.

Hams make an entire sport of of this ("fox hunting"), and the FCC has a network of automated monitoring stations dotted across the country specifically to determine the location of rogue radio transmissions.

That said, most of the time it's easier to just ignore the radio trolls.
No kidding! My 4 year old thinks is super into the 3D printer. Pretty soon he’s gonna start designing things with me…
I think this is a real problem but your post is an exaggeration. There are cases of fraud in science. There is a reproducibility crisis in some areas. There are political angles and rent seeking wrt grants. But how widespread is it? You're assuming it's close to 100% without evidence. I don't claim to have the exact number but intuitively yours is extraordinary (so it would need extraordinary evidence). I think these issues affect some areas much more than others and some regions more than others. I still believe science is the best way of enquiry for the natural world.
Organized religion ordains priests to read the sacred texts (papers, theses, books) and then anoints them to be the only ones allowed to do ministry and theology. Then they fight among themselves to be allowed to get resources and rise up the ranks of the church.

The analog is with forcing promising researchers to go through 5-10 years of thankless "training" to be granted a doctorate, so that they can be taken "seriously" by granting institutions, and have them fight among themselves so they can get resources and rise up the ranks of academia.

It's the same institutional structure, not anything to do with the content, and this is by design since academia and the Church were one and the same centuries ago!

Of course the idea that you don't need institutional approval to do something is alien to someone steeped in this worldview, but this is the news site for YC, most famous for telling people no, in fact you don't have to waste a decade working before doing something interesting.
Everywhere I've worked would have judged heavy emphasis on framework expertise rather than fundamental CS concepts and web standards as a red flag. I don't think it's that rare.

These are all very good points. Thanks for explaining!
In my experience, most of the benefits of Typescript come from type-checking across call boundaries, the point where type-related bugs are most likely to be introduced due to each side of the call often being in different locations and contexts. And you can't get those benefits without explicitly typing function parameters.

Independent retirement would be impossible with 1% returns. With the market's historic rate of return (around 6% after inflation), an investment doubles every ~12 years. A dollar saved at 30 years old is worth ~8 dollars by 65. In a scenario where 1% returns were the norm, a dollar invested at 30 would only be worth $1.40 at 65!

Also, since you wouldn't get much income from investments while retired, you'd have to save way more in that scenario to be able to retire. Sounds like a miserable alternative.
McLaren has a loooong history of applying carbon fiber in new ways that revolutionize racing - the MP4/1 was the first full carbon monocoque chassis way back in 1981. Even though carbon fiber had previously been used in a limited fashion in other automotive and aerospace applications, most people credit McLaren for really bringing carbon fiber to the automotive world, because the MP4 series of racing cars were so dominant, everyone else copied them.

McLaren is also currently leading the F1 world championship (after one race) after having won the constructor's championship last year. So whatever they are doing merits understanding.
Depends on the nature of the piece, the amount of free time to expand, and contextual relevance.

ABC Australia, over a long period of time, tends to be balanced and to prefer presenting stories with more domain contect than just a single 'nugget' of isolated current event.

That said, they've taken quite a hit on funding in the past decade (and more) and have suffered bouts of unaligned management (seeking to rip down and diminish public broadcasting as a goal).

That aside, the nature of current nugget reoporting is it's a fact (at some point in time) that a report with a particular take on housing was just released, at another time it's a fact that senior political figures and government policy advisors are touting some 'expert' who has a contrary position.

That puts the onus on the viewer to thread together their own big picture and open Media Watch to frame what's going on.

In an ideal Australia the ABC would be better funded and there would be several hours more a week of good investigative journalism across a fange of subjects.

Thanks! But I get the impression that with Kokoro, a strong CPU still requires about two seconds to generate one sentence, which is too much of a delay for a TTS voice in an AAC app.

I'd rather accept a little compromise regarding the voice and intonation quality, as long as the TTS system doesn't frequently garble words. The AAC app is used on tablet PCs running from battery, so the lower the CPU usage and energy draw, the better.
Why it's funny? It just shows their openness and dedication. Funny that you are flagging it as funny.

It's not about the ability to migrate to other products. If I switch to your product, I need guarantees that you will not screw me over pricing 5 years down the road when you need to increase your revenue figures and that if you go out of business I can still run your software, which I've spent time learning and migrating, on my own.

No, "bullshit jobs" are everywhere--loads in the private sector as well.

Perhaps sleepy sinecures are more prevalent in the public sector (especially post FANNAG layoffs), but not unique to it.

In addition, there's plenty of jobs that are demanding, stressful, and technically difficult but are ultimately towards useless or futile ends, and this is known by parties with a sober perspective.

When i worked as a consultant, I was on MANY projects where everything was pants-on-fire important to deliver projects to clients for POCs and/or overpriced/overengineered junk that they were incapable of maintaining long-term (and in many cases, created more problems than it ostensibly solved)

All that work was pure bullshit; I was never once in denial of that fact. Fake deadlines, fake projects, fake urgency, real stress. Bullshit comes in many forms.
UBI will almost certainly fail to cover the necessities unless we have Marx-style price controls.

When everyone in the economy has a minimum of say $3,000 per month the cost of necessities, and everything else, will go up roughly in line with that.
I think it is possible to acknowledge that privilege, while still highlighting the things that suck for us, and the ways unions can help. I wish the article did this. I firmly believe there is a strong case to be made here. It gets muffled by the narrowness of the author's perspective.

I've worked in a kitchen and a warehouse for a while, I absolutely know how good we've got it. I have friends who tell me about people dying at their workplaces. Pretty much everyone I know who's not a programmer is living paycheck-to-paycheck. I'm still incredibly burnt out, and probably couldn't continue for another 6 months if my life depended on it.
From [1] and [2] we read that the CMB was created around 380 million years after the Big Bang, and that hydrogen atoms were created at the same time. The original article above [3] says that this galaxy was created when the universe was about 300 million years old. These seem to be in conflict; am I misunderstanding something, or is there really a conflict there?

Arranged like a Skinner box -- something which dispenses reward stimuli for desired behaviours with the aim of maximizing those behaviours.

Interestingly, a Skinner box can be made to dispense rewards randomly after a while, or stop dispensing them entirely -- but the desired behaviour is likely to continue. Think doomscrolling, slot machines, loot boxes, dating apps, etc.

Also a lot of inventory building for affordable homes in undesirable neighborhoods. I got tired of looking for homes (so much debt and risk) and now I'm trying to convince my wife to rent a house so we can sell ours. Subtracting maintenance and other home ownership costs, renting is a wash or cheaper and I have all my equity in the market paying returns and liquid.
Pretty much. Claude from their announcements seems to me at least to be about SWE's and coding at the moment. Personally while I understand their decision I find it a bit limiting, and just a little targeted against the SWE profession. If all AI does is disrupt SWE's but not really add new products and/or new possibilities; then it feels IMO like a bit of a waste and is quite uneven in its society disruption.

At least in my circle SWE's are either excited or completely fearful of the new technology; and every other profession feels like it is just hype and hasn't really changed anything. They've tried it sure; but it didn't really have the data to help with even simpler domain's than SWE. Anecdotally I've had the comment from people around me - my easy {insert job here} will last longer than your tech job from many people I know from both white and blue collar workers. Its definitely reduced the respect for SWE's in general at least where I'm located.

I would like to see improvements in people's quality of life and new possibilities/frontiers from the technology, not just "more efficiencies" and disruption. It feels like there's a lack of imagination with the tech.
Yes. You get to drop the javascript compile and the graphql and you speak purely in three languages:

1. elixir: def handle_event("save_customer", params, socket)...
2. html: <form :for={@form} phx-submit="save_customer">
3. And sometimes rarely javascript: this.pushEvent("reorder_customer_priorities")

That's it. No compiler, no type annotations, no graphql layer.
The book Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach starts by talking about schools of thought on how to gauge if an agent is intelligent. I think it was mimicking human behavior vs behaving rationally which I thought was funny.
It just depends on the use case. The "interface" could be complicated enough that it needs a full blown application with state. I would say that's the typical expectation today from users.
I think people make this stuff illegal because a lot of people really hate pedophiles and anything associated with them, and logical thinking ("Does this policy actually increase or decrease the number of children abused?") and other considerations ("Will this policy be abused to suppress legitimate speech? Can you get a website you hate taken down by uploading CSAM and reporting it? Will teenagers get arrested for sexting each other? Will parents who send a photo of their child's genitals to a doctor, to diagnose a medical problem, get into trouble?") go out the window. Anyone who expresses opposition to these policies can expect to get some of that hatred directed at them, and lots of people simply don't want to deal with that, so the policies stand.

I'm explicitly not. And you have no idea how much fundamental research happens in the commercial sector because there's no incentive to publish it -- why would I publish the trade secrets for you to exploit? For the record, work I've done under NDA would easily disprove a number of academic theories right now but there's no way I could get the companies to allow me to publish it (nor would I want to tank their stock).

Furthermore, academia doesn't do research unless there's a payback either in papers or prestige. What academia are you thinking of that allows for the pure pursuit of whatever's interesting?
This isn't how the legal system works. Most CP cases get prosecuted because the defendant solicits or shares CP with a minor of some other CP collectors, but let's imagine a situation where someone gets busted from something else and then investigators discover they have CP (real-world non-AI CP in this example).

Having it at all is a strict liability crime. If the defendant says malware put it on their computer and they don't know how or when it got there, that's called an affirmative defense - it's admissible as a claim, but the burden of proof for the claim is on the defendant. Otherwise you could just claim it was planted on your computer by ghosts or demons or space aliens. If the machine was infested with malware to the point of the browser being nearly inoperable and all sort so fother junk being present, a jury might buy it. But the defendant has to make some sort of showing to back up the claim. The whole thing about 'reasonable doubt' in criminal cases is not that something sounds possible or even plausible, but that you can support the claim with some mix of logic and empirical evidence like any other reasoned argument.

It's not even worth it to talk about GenServer or special callbacks. Any idiot can just think of it as "phx-{binding}" html attribute and "handle_event".
The vision is nice. I don't see it playing out practically.

It's the human competition. Every human in the world is competing - on some level - with every other human.

Your described widespread "benefits" to society just change the playing field all humans are competing on. The money will go from that to something else - to pick something topical say, housing.
So what is tl;dr for simpler?
I would've guessed that once it's established that the bug is caused by the app injecting the specified username into the USERINFO portion of a URL without the necessary percent-encoding, a workaround (other than using a different client) would be to manually percent-encode the username, i.e., replace the "@" with "%40" ... although this wouldn't work if the app actually did percent-encode an entered "%" despite not encoding an entered "@"!
Is there a way to pay for higher quality? I don't see a way to pay at all, this just works without an API key, even with the generated code. I agree though, these voices sound like their buffer is always underrunning.

I think that's why the threat model matters. I consider my SSH keys secure as long as they don't leave the local machine in plaintext form. However if the scenario changes to become "the adversary has arbitrary read access to your RAM" then that's obviously not going to work anymore.
