I think it makes sense when you look at it specifically with the "burnout" context in mind. The truth is, burnout can happen to anyone and it is often unclear whether there even is any real recovery.

And it can even happen not just necessarily due to overwork but due to lack of a clear goal, death by a thousand papercuts, complete riddance of passion and interest for certain reasons.

Sure it's nicer to work from your desk than to hang drywall but if you do end up burning out that will affect your brain and possibly permanently alter it. After that, who knows if you could even work in the industry at all anymore?

Personally I believe we way way underestimate it. Longevity is more important than exploiting the passion and overmotivation of potential burnout candidates for short term gains.

Overall LLMs (that I've tested) don't know how to use a search engine, their queries are bad and naive, probably because the way to use a search engine isn't part of training data, it's just something that people learn to do by using them. Maybe Google has the data to make LLMs good at using search engines but would it serve their business?
thanks for the explaining where you come from.

it is indeed sad to hear that so few of the palestinians you have talked to are interested in peace and introspection. hamas is objectively the main reason for gazans’ misery and yet you didn’t meet the brave people who speak against them. anyway, it is also shunned in that community (especially expats who go to pro-palestinian demonstrations) to doubt the narrative of the pro-violence factions.

I can recommend you to seek such voices if you really want to know more and to actually contribute anything rational towards peaceful life in the region.

Could you clarify what OpenAI actually uses Ory for? Their main login page is powered by Auth0
The video you posted is itself misleading. For example, the video claims that if the United States were to implement reciprocal tariffs in the same form that Canada places upon the United States that Canada would not pay any tariffs either. Sure, technically if you don't export you won't pay any tariffs. But a reciprocal quota would be devastating for Canadian exports. To avoid equivalent quota tariffs Canada would need to reduce their exports to the U.S. by some 90%. That video completely sidesteps this reality and largely ignores the real effects these supply management quotas have on trade.
> Certainly this opens the door to a whole plethora of new "it's AI art, I swear!" defenses

You are probably right, given what we saw with all the porn popup adware back in the 90's and 2000's. A friend of mine was a malware analyst for the FBI for a while.

All CSAM possession cases she heard about, the defense was "malware did it". Nearly all cases the jury convicted them. 100% of her cases for sure.

At some point using the defense everyone else uses and fails with is probably going to become a liability. Shit I am sure people are already trying to use this defense and failing!

> we have reduced our water usage while the population has grown

I don't know where you live, but if it is a city like most others, you've likely reduced your per-capita water use, but not total water use. This is certainly true of most cities in the American west. They have made impressive (above 30%) reductions in per-capita water use, but they have (in many cases) grown by more than that.
This is awesome! Very nicely done. I hear a few problems with the audio emulation, (mostly clicks that shouldn't be there) but it's been a long while since I had my head wrapped around Gameboy emulation. I'm not sure I know what's going wrong exactly.

I love how Rust+WASM is an enabler for showing off applications like this which would traditionally be restricted to a desktop environment. Here's my own, an NES emulator, using wasm-bindgen for the translation but otherwise a similar setup:

Yeah and you can solve exactly your problems without worrying about anyone else.
It is mostly the same in the UK too, at least in principle. Sparpreis fares correspond to Advance tickets, which can vary over time or be sold at a discount. DB's Flexpreis would be called 'walk-up' fares in Britain, which are fixed in price by the Department for Transport (a part of the British government).

If you miss a train due to no fault of your own you can take the next available one, including with an Advance ticket[1].

What complicates the matter greatly in the United Kingdom is the semi-privatized franchising system and the hundreds of 'restriction codes' that limit the validity of the tickets to what is essentially an arbitrary subset of the available services, even in the case of disruption.

I think that German regulations, as well as European industry agreements such as CIV, are better for the passenger because they codify in law how reasonable railway staff would act anyway. However there are equivalent protections in Britain, albeit ones encoded in nebulous contracts and precedent rather than enshrined in law. They can help you but only if you know what they are and are prepared to fight the bueorocracy to invoke them.

My guess would be: QWERTZ touch typing was not a common skill in most pilots at the time these were introduced, and an ABC layout is slightly more ergonomical than QWERTZ for users not familiar with either.

Now that's changed, but changing the keyboard now would ruin older pilots' muscle memory.

How does a union help you with your wrists?

Why do you need help?

I type every single day and I don't want your health problem placing limits on my job flexibility and career advancement.

If our industry fills with unions, suddenly I won't be able to job hop to positions that look interesting to me. I'll have to consider things like seniority and tenure and a bunch of artificial rules. It'll be like going back to high school. I prefer to break rules, color outside the lines, and set my own path.
Virtue signalling, not at all.

I work as an regular engineer in construction and I have a very cushy job compared to the boots on the ground working in the mud. I am conveying what I and everyone else thinks about tech working conditions.

Also not against unions, I have to work with unions in my day to day.

Yeah, when people choose to write an article about 'how bad they have it', don't expect sympathy from anyone else if you 'don't have it that bad'. Christ, you all get paid 3 x plus the median salary... Go work a job with better conditions that pays less! Or use your incredible market power to move to a place that does have better conditions (which you all have seem to done anyway!)

Unionise for gods sake, but jeez it would help if some of you had to scrape a little in your past prior.

Fun fact about character ordering:

Swedish sorting traditionally and officially treated v and w as equivalent, so that users would not have to guess whether the word, or name, they were seeking was spelled with a v or a w. The two letters were often combined in the collating sequence as if they were all v or all w, until 2006 when the 13th edition of Svenska Akademiens ordlista (The Swedish Academy's Orthographic Dictionary) declared a change.

Its very interesting but i disagree with the operator precedence.

> but programming languages have many categories of binary operators—arithmetic, comparison, bitwise, Boolean—and mixing them together creates room for error

I think an expert should be able to remember the operator precedence of C and s.th. like

a < x && b >= y

is easier for a human to read than this

(a < x) && (b >= y)

Edit: Besides that it looks pretty promising. They even got it right to call the void type unit.
You're extrapolating Pinto rear end collision fire deaths to overall collision fire deaths using the standard ratios of the time.

But the Pinto was prone to rear end collisions causing fires. So the correct ratio is unknown, and presumably wouldn't be close to 15%.

I agree in general that the linked article is junk.
Google used to be a "dumb keyword index" in the past. It worked better that way. You had some modicum of control over the matching process. For the past 10 years or so, Google turned more into "try to guess what a novice normie means", which removes user control (no more actually working verbatim search or logical operators...), and... well I failed to develop a mental model of how exactly it works. It's not a proper keyword search anymore, and it's not a proper DWIM system with true understanding of natural language like LLMs are. It's something... in between, inferior to both.

Actually, typing out "what a novice normie means" made me realize what is the probable reason Google turned out the way it is: optimizing for new users. However, a growing userbase means most users are new to Internet in general, and (with big enough growth) most queries are issued by people who are trying a search engine out for the first time, and have no clue how or why it works - and those queries are exactly the kind of queries Google is now good at, queries like example you provided.
Windows is is very similar, the differences are two the layer tarballs.

The file system appears in a Files sub-directory as there is a Hives sub-directory for containing the Windows Registry.

The other difference is there are two extra PAX headers within the tarball, MSWINDOWS.fileattr which is "32" for a regular file, and "16" for a directory and MSWINDOWS.rawsd which is a special encoding of the security descriptor, which you can think of it as the owner, group and permissions associated with the file (which their standard values can be seen from buildkit here: https://github.com/moby/buildkit/blob/22156ab20bcaea1a1466d2...)

I haven't looked into how to handle the Windows Registry aspect as in my exploration I was focused on simply adding a pre-built executable so I didn't need any registry entries created.

The other fun gotcha is to ensure the ENV section contain PATH set to c:\\Windows\\System32;c:\\Windows otherwise you would be unlikely to be able to run any Windows executable.

It may be hard to remember now that we’ve had frequently-updated browsers for so long but not everyone updated promptly. That lead to a lot of now-vestigial frontend culture where developers would build around the oldest browser they couldn’t afford not to support.

That colored a lot of low-level decisions about how events were implemented, false claims about virtual DOMs being fast or efficient, and especially the culture of adding dependencies because you need a feature which wasn’t in Internet Explorer. Once that trend is established, it’s hard to change without breaking compatibility and so you end up with people in 2025 using slower code based on the support matrix set over a decade earlier.

(And to be clear, I’m not saying that React has no redeeming values - only just it’s healthy to reconsider decisions made in previous decades to see whether the cost/benefit ratio has changed. I think we’re going to see some really interesting shifts as funding for open source shifts in a non-boom economy, but also as LLMs adjust the working style & relationship many people have to maintenance.)
Sure is desired. Put yourself in the position of being defamed.
Air Canada was forced to honor bogus-low prices described by its chatbot, for example. That doesn't stop Air Canada or anyone else from using LLM chatbots, but (in Canada) clarified that there can be liability.
Germany doesn't protect its production with tariffs any more than, say, North Carolina does. There are no German tariffs, because Germany is part of European Union, which sets up common, shared tariff regime, and tariff-free goods movement within EU. Germany can lobby within EU to propose tariffs that it considers beneficial to it, just like North Carolina can in US, but if other EU members don't like it enough, it will not go through.

Second, how does VAT protect domestic production? VAT applies to both imported and domestically manufactured goods equally. VAT is really ultimately just a sales tax, just collected in a somewhat different way, and you pay the same sales tax regardless of where the good was produced.

That’s a big claim. If the model was trained on CSAM then I would argue that any image generation that comes from it is harmful to the original children. In the same way copies of already existing content continue to harm the victim.
Also water use is lower in dense urban areas so you have to consider that there's a net gain from the move even if there's additional strain locally
I don't mind it per se; to me the problem is then that some devs don't bother with basic debugging steps of CI failures - if anything works locally and fails in CI, their first step is to message me - so instead of being "100% DevOps" I spend a pile of time debugging other devs' local environments.
Would you like to remove all of the benefits unions have given you?
>The proclaimed goal is to displace workers on a grand scale.

It doesn't matter. What you need to understand - is that in the source of the job market is needs, ability to meet those needs and ability to exchanges those ability on one another. And nothing of those are hindered by AI.

>Many industrial nations are largely service based economies with a lot of white collar jobs in particular.

Again: in the end of the day it doesn't change anything. In the end of the day you need a cooked dinner, a built house and everything else. So someone must build a house and exchange it for a cooked dinners. That's what happening (white collar workers and international trade balance included) and that's what job market is. AI doesn't changes the nature of those relationship. Maybe it replace white collar workers, maybe even almost all of them - that's only mean that they will go to satisfy another unsatisfied needs of other people in exchange for satisfying their own, job marker won't go anywhere, if anything - amount of satisfied needs will go up, not down.

>if white collar workers are kicked out of their jobs en masse, it also negatively affects the "value" of the remaining people with employment

No, it doesn't. I mean it does if they would be simply kicked out, but that's not the case - they would be replaced by AI. So the society get all the benefits that they were creating plus additional labor force to satisfy earlier unsatisfied needs.

>exhibit A: tech job marker right now

I don't have the stats at hand, but aren't blue collar workers doing better now than ever before?

>I am really having a hard time understanding where this obsession with mythical socialism comes from

From the history of the 20th century? I mean not obsession, but we we are discussing scenarios of the disappearance (or significant decrease) of the job market, and the socialists are the most (if not only) realistic reason for that at the moment.

>The reality we live in is largely capitalistic and a striving towards a monopoly

Yeas, and this monopoly, the monopoly, are called "socialism".

>corporation, which is only kept in check by government regulations.

Generally corporation kept in check by economic freedom of other economic agents, and this government regulations that protects monopolies from free market. I mean why would government regulate in other direction? Small amount of big corporations are way easier for government to control and get personal benefits from them.
If we're being precise, Canada made no such promise. It was an aspirational target. The guidance, actually first agreed to in 2014, was that countries would move towards the 2% target. And Canada has indeed moved towards the 2% target, and with some very substantial capital purchases in the near future (icebreakers, subs, massive radar arrays, possibly fighter jets) it will certainly get there.

But there was no promise that was broken.
> Next week they'll publish another paper about how they were wrong.

Isn't that what's they're supposed to do? "Hey we found this thing, here's how we did it." Next week: "Yeah I checked your data and got different results, let's figure out what's different." A few months/years later: "We've figured out where the problems were and now have a better understanding of this."

Competitive games are complex. It's hard to be 95% percentile. There are so many mistakes one can make, even if each individual mistake is unlikely, it's likely that a mistake will be made. I participate in Dota 2, and literally everyone makes noticeable mistakes, even including tier 1 pro players and the top ranked pub players. I honestly find it amazing how good people are given how complex the domain is.

Now scale that up 10x, because reality is at least an order of magnitude more complex than a video game.

I'm curious about people who have done this and how they've handled things like insurance, taxes, and getting back into the workforce after such a long gap.
