> The gap between Sr and Jr skills with close as AI gets better.

Sorry, but as the wind blows, we only have indications of the opposite so far and it's wildly reported as a generating losing their ability for deep thought, relying too much on automated code generation. This is especially damaging for juniors, who never get the chance to learn the tricks of the trade in the first place, and they're the ones having a hard time explaining what the code the LLM generated even does.

Seniors will be few and far between, and we will charge premium for fixing up the crap LLM created, which will fit us great before retirement.

Good luck when we are retired.
My point is that Republicans have anti-big-tech policies as well, not that interests don’t align.
The price of eggs at my farmer's market hasn't changed in a year.

This was always caused by corporate middlemen--as much as I'd like to blame Trump/Republicans, the egg cartel is the real problem here, and Trump/Republicans are only to blame inasmuch as they don't have the will to break up the monopoly.
This, I absolutely agree with.
Yes, there are small things you can do which (collectively) _can_ have an impact.

I'm arguing against : "So you know you are killing us in so many ways, and you can't be arsed to eat less meat? Aren't you supposed to care about us?"

You can replace "to eat less meat" by basically a thousand different "reasonable" things. Does that mean that _literally everyone on earth_ is willingly "killing their children and not caring about them"?

I really dislike those arguments patronizing everyone. They achieve nothing -- actually quite the contrary, at _best_ they do nothing for someone who do not feel targeted, at worst they turn people against your cause. There's a difference between stating that each of us can and should take action because those are needed and saying that everyone not doing X is a child killer. If someone suggest that I should stop drinking almond milk, I would consider it. If they introduce this by telling how ashamed I should be and how my children will hate me for this -- but not for long since they will soon be dead anyway because of me -- well, maybe I'll just ignore an otherwise perfectly reasonable and fact-based suggestion.
You're paying taxes because your government forces you to under threat of violence.
I'm not a big fan of Tesla's owner, but I will say - what is the problem with subsidizing something that given enough research and development is considered a net good for our future or could be valuable on a global scale?

Lots of people are begging to get access to Chinese EV's, and guess what they were subsidized by their government for research and development.

We subsidize farmers but don't trash them. If EV's are the future why not provide assistance?

I would say the used market starts to be more of a factor at $15k and below. Right now the value proposition of cars in the $15-25k range is truly awful, with it often making more sense to finance or lease a new car instead. When I was shopping last year I was seeing used Honda Fits that were the better part of a decade old north of the $15k mark, which is absurd considering they didn’t cost much more than that new. It’s even worse for in-demand models like RAV4’s.
Thanks for the great B5 quote.

The vast majority of us are just minor pebbles in trump’s grand experiment, just trying to find a quiet place to avoid all the noise and nightmares.

I find the promoted YT shorts annoying. It's non-stop boobs and butts and I have never searched for this on YT. There is uBlock code to filter out those promoted videos but it sometimes breaks the site.
Imagine v2.0 introduces a new feature that requires a parser change—one that v1.0 wouldn't be able to parse.

$if $defined(C3_V2_PLUS):
// new feature
fn f = \ -> foo(); // this won't parse in v1.0
$else
Callback f = ...;
$endif

This is also an issue if a future version of C3 introduces language level support, allowing newer compilers to compile code as if it were written for an earlier version. While this approach works well when teams standardize on a specific version’s feature set, they may still want to take advantage of performance improvements in the latest compiler.

That said, this is a niche case and not something I’d consider a dealbreaker.
I think what they mean is: these plans were made in another time so they might harm the company financially (or be extremely lopsided) given the "new mandate" (may change again too) from the Trump admin.

Just a measure to take a step back and assess the whole picture I'm assuming.
The problem is your emissions are minuscule and the difference between you owning an electric car or gas car is meaningless if your goal is to save the climate.

The big, heavy carbon users need to switch. But they have needs that are difficult to serve by electric
Please stop with the hyperbole. It's unproductive. Switching everyone to BEVs would require a massive investment in infrastructure. Given the speeds at which EVs charge, at least every other parking spot at the stop would need a charger to make it viable for the average consumer.

Assuming at least a quarter of those are actually charging at the same time, supplying that amount of power requires a massive upgrade to wiring and delivery to all road stops. We would need high voltage lines and a mini substation running to every stop along the road. Not to mention the massive upgrade in power generation capacity.
The calculus of voting is really simple, even when there are only 2 candidates:

> Vote for the least evil person.

That's it. If everyone did this, then candidates would skew less evil. And after some amount of time, we would not have evil candidates.

Was Harris a good candidate. Certainly not. Was she less evil than Trump? By a mile. Would we be better off with Harris? Seems like that is coming true after a mere 2+ months.
Sure, but I'm not pointing out the longevity of the batteries, but rather the maintenance cost if/when they fault. I understand it will get better over time as technology improves, but it's been a large impediment to me (and probably others) from investing in them.

What's interesting with Eric Adams is that his charges were dismissed with prejudice by the judge handling the case specifically because the Trump admin made clear statements that they would use the prosecution as a stick to try and get him to do what they want.

The idea that voting Americans are more ignorant of international news, geography, history, and politics has been strongly and robustly quantitatively demonstrated repeatedly over decades.

The savvy international graduate student can't vote. We're talking about people who fill in ballots.

Voters are more likely to speak only English, not have a passport and live in less ethnically diverse neighborhoods. No reputable numerical survey disputes this.

There's substantial empirical evidence here. Maybe it disagrees with your optimism and vibes but sorry, that's not how the world works

> People knew exactly what they were getting, and they wanted this.

once the world was willing to forgive, but twice is a pattern that can't be ignored

the 97% of the rest of the world now needs to de-risk itself from the US and its businesses

longer term, the self-inflicted loss of economic, military and cultural domination will hopefully result in the US electorate realising that "US exceptionalism" was only ever a set of lucky circumstances, which are unlikely to be repeated

at which point the forced humility should result in a return to long-term stability

the worse outcome is the US attempts to hang onto its dying empire with warfare, and it appears we're seeing the groundwork being laid for this already (canada, greenland, panama, ...)
Why do you go straight from upper-middle to elite? Is this something peculiar to the UK which I am missing? As a US citizen, I am used to upper-middle class lacking the purchasing power you describe (not that people don't try to compensate via borrowing) and an entire ecosystem of 'rich' that sit between the middle class and the elite.

That is true. I wonder though, if Russian citizens do this in the US, then there is not going to be anything done about it? What if it is an American citizen? I do not expect them to be able to spend it in the US (but I may be wrong). Would they just go to Russia or somewhere else and then use the money from those bank accounts overseas and start a new life, or what? I am just trying to imagine the scenario. I have watched The Wolf of Wall Street which was quite good. I wonder how it would usually go today, and how people get away with it, because one would think today it is not easy to get away with it. I imagine if I were to scam someone, I would get in legal troubles here, in Hungary, even if I were to send it to a bank account somewhere else in another country, is this an incorrect assumption?

I am going off-topic here, because Australia is in question here, so perhaps replace my use of "US" with Australia and "American" with "Australian".

If you are a US tax payer, it's important to realize that:

1. The federal government has already invested hundred of millions of dollars and millions of person years of scientific effort to collect all the valuable data that NOAA, CDC, NIH, the National Weather Service, etc. have collected, curated, and analyzed

2. The DOGE-ies and their ilk are flushing that all down the toilet -- all your investment will now be lost, or at least inaccessible to you or anyone else who might do something useful with it.

No it can't, not yet anyway.
A language standard without a reference implementation or blessed test suite can be a real problem due to ambiguity, contradiction, and omissions. When there are existing implementations of a language that are expected to keep up with an evolving standard that doesn't have these things, you can end up with a messy situation like Fortran has, in which the portability of code across compilers becomes a pragmatic job that's not related much to standard conformance.
I think it's a mischaracterization of liberalism as a blind, bleeding heart that can't see past any local injustice.

Honest conservative and progressive policy can also both value and seek to expand justice.

An enjoyable perspective on how workload can affect techno-tribalism. Like many who have worked in, or run, mixed shops over the years, I've lamented the interpersonal friction that can happen amongst camps. It can be corrosive, almost to the point of destruction, at which point I've had to fire people for using terms like ''hater'' or worse. Good riddance, because we had work to do.
I'm not sure what your definition of "tame" is, but mine definitely does not include "A pandemic raging through the population with leadership calling it a hoax and proposing to fight it with bleach and horse dewormer, and encouraging the population to defy public health efforts to stop it." 2017 to 2020 was a steady increase in chaos and incompetence, coming to a crescendo with COVID. And after 4 years, voters said "Yea, we want that chaos again!"
I am, in fact, aware of that.

My point is that if we as a technical community don't start looking outside our technical bubble the powers that be will at some point figure out a way to get there from here and without consulting you (us). But maybe that's wrong and maybe nothing's going to need changing. I hope so.

The rich can’t bring their assets without divesting and get taxed first.

Can you imagine if someone like Elon Musk got wealth taxed at 75% of his $400Bn?

He’s still a billionaires and USA coffers will increase by $300Bn.

He can’t replicate his success outside USA because USA has the market and the appetite to spend.

Electric generation is the low hanging fruit but some nations are already at the stage that the power sector has lower emissions than the transport sector and it is probably the next dominoe to fall.

Yes, Manchester is an excellent model to look at and shows it can be done. Some fantastic areas in the city and large infrastructure plans (stadiums to rail) which will no doubt support productivity levels in the region.

We already know how to do it all as a country - autonomous light rail, placemaking/ regeneration, connectivity, governance etc - we just have failed to ever do any of it more than once.

I've noticed similar trends re: where people move vs where they're from. A lot of my generation (currently 28-40yo range) were brought up with a 'it's grim up north' mentality and it still persists today. I'm hoping the next generations that make their first visits to alternate cities in the future don't feel the same thanks to the massive improvements seen over the past 10 years.
