Physical therapists will be replaced by AI? Kindergarten teachers will be replaced by AI? Politicians will be replaced by AI? (they could, they will just never allow it to happen)

Yes, but if you know the general direction of where it's going that reduces the search area quite a bit. In this case, for example, the French Government publicly announced where it's going.

> Last year this podcast said that nobody wants to solve this because solving it is going to eliminate (IIRC) hundreds of thousands of jobs. Which is a point to consider. Yet we're ok with spending trillions on AI to eliminate jobs

Feeling very conflicted right now. On the other hand, it'd be absolutely hilarious if they succeeded with this argument. VPN vendors would not find that as hilarious I bet. And on another the hypocrisy is mindboggling. I guess you can&

They will never pay this without a fight. Good time to specialize in "tariff litigation", if you're a law firm.

Quoting your comment: "You definitely don't want to hire the person who thinks - bizarrely - that using library functions is a sign of weakness." So true...I've failed interviews, because the interviewee did see using li

My employer has no formal titles for engineers pretty much for this reason.

It's not extremism. It's plain old American capitalism. Both parties are being funded by the same people, so both parties play ball with the same set of funders.

You're only one year and change into it. It takes longer than that for most people to become anywhere near proficient at it.

I've found the AI assisted auto-completion to be very valuable. It's definitely sped up my coding and reduced the number of errors I make. It reduces the context switching between coding and referencing docs quite a bit.

There's nothing surprising about it given US history. The US administration has always labeled any resistance against it as terrorism at least ever since 9/11. You might remember the justification of killing young Afghani males, w

This right here exposes the bullshittery about the reasons behind preventing sideloading on Android phones. For Google everything is about protecting revenue, even when doing so exposes their users to real harm, and that's why they wil

If the majority of H1-B workers were white, none of this would be happening.

It's already happening. Every major tech company is investing in engineering presence outside of the US. My employer sent out a company-wide email late last year outlining an aggressive growth strategy in two new tech hubs in Ireland a

So not only do they process illegitimate copyright strikes / DMCA takedowns, but they also don't process legitimate ones. Google is broken to the very core. This is what happens with a company that tries to minimize costs of suppo

Xi Jinping is probably sending thank you cards to Trump right about now.

Hopefully a bit more diplomatically than that, though. But, I agree. Encourage him to go over all of his work once or twice more, and use spellchecking tools, before committing or sending out email/slack/whatever. If he's tru

I'm curious as to what's your time horizon for "in the long run". When is this transition to bitcoin going to happen?

lol. Where did I say I hate psytrance? In fact, I have a fairly sizeable collection of trance music on my NAS, mainly more mainstream stuff, but some is psytrance. It's unreasonable to assume psytrance would organically occupy such a l

It's not even close to virtually all music. 256M songs doesn't come even close. It's virtually all popular music recently published commercially in the world. It's missing large portions of bootlegs, old music, foreign m

My guess is a large portion of the psytrance music is slop, whether AI or some other form of auto-generation.

I want to peek in that metadata collection to see if it could be used to identify the AI slop that's infecting Spotify. If you could identify a track supposedly by artist X was actually AI slop not created by artist X, you could use th

Quoting from their page: -------------- This is by far the largest music metadata database that is publicly available. For comparison, we have 256 million tracks, while others have 50-150 million. Our data is well-annotated: MusicBrainz has

Flippant response: If it's ok for Meta for commercial use, why not for researchers for legitimate research work? More serious response: research is explicitly included in fair use protections in US copyright law. News organizations reg
