> I think the scary thing going forward is that, over the past 25-30 years or so, tech provided a huge amount of the average wage growth, at least in the US.
This is the thing that keeps me up at night. Tech has allowed a very solid middle class lifestyle for a lot of people. I can't think of another good paying job where someone is self-taught, or went to a 12-month certificate program at their local community college and now has a very good career.
If those jobs disappear, or wage growth is non-existent, I don't know where the next generation will find those jobs.
Just one correction though: Your definition of middle class has to be super wide to call many tech jobs "solid middle class". It's not as if everyone ends up in the billionaire column, most definitions of middle class end with household income at $165k. Many in tech go over with one job. Once a family has two jobs and one is in tech, basically everyone counts as upper middle or above. With two tech jobs in a household, claiming middle class is often denying one's actual status.
That's true. For context, I reside in Canada where good tech jobs fit the definition of the low end of upper class (250k CAD) where I am not sure the same is true in the USA? Regardless my definition is wrong.
Are there caps on how much you could sell during the tender offer? I had one come through my email ~3 years ago for a company I previously worked for. IIRC it allowed you to sell up to 10% of your stock.
It is awful, but at the same time this isn't new. People have for a long time used Google searches to self diagnose their issues. ChatGPT just makes that process ever easier now.
From my viewpoint it speaks more to a problem of the healthcare system.
I agree with everything you said but chatGPT does have an insidious thing where it confirms your biases. It kind of senses what you want and actually runs with it. For truly unbiased responses you literally have to hide your intention from chatGPT. But even so chatGPT can many times still sense your intent and give you a biased answer.
Does anyone know what type of camera the stream uses? Or recommendations of an outdoor camera/microphone that could accomplish the same thing? I'd love to do this sort of thing in our rural backyard
I used to scoff at the idea of the AI-bubble (or any recently called-for tech bubble) being like the 90s given the way technology/the internet is now so integrated into our lives, but the way he spelled it out it does seem similar.
When searching something non-programming related, I do. For example, I'm building an addition on our home. Searching for building materials, ideas, and any building science questions I have, I often find LLMs lacking. Even then, maybe 40% of the time Gemini gives me a good enough response.
On the flip side, any time I'm searching for something programming (FE, JavaScript in my case) it's last resort because an LLM is not giving me the answer I'm looking for.
This is still shocking to me, I really never thought I would replace my reliance on Google with something new.
I've never heard of this so I've got a silly question - I own a Subaru Outback base model with adaptive cruise and lane keep. What is the difference that this offers?
It will give you truly hands-free lane centering with eye tracking rather than ping-ponging between lane lines and continual steering wheel nags. If you’re doing a lot of highway miles, it would be a big quality of life improvement.
Personally, I find that “autopilot” style features makes me a better driver because I can spend more time focusing on the road ahead rather than splitting my attention to oft-arbitrary tasks like speed limit compliance. However, I know this doesn’t apply to everyone. If you are the sort of person for whom less active involvement impairs your ability to stay engaged in the executive task of driving, this will exaggerate the sense of disconnection even further.
Your subaru lanekeeping doesn't try to murder you? On a freeway or other uninterrupted left line, be in the leftmost lane. Start passing a semi trailer. The car wants to hug the middle, as usual, but I steer slightly to the left to be safe. After passing the truck, release grip slightly on the wheel.
Car Immedialy swerves into the right lane. At whatever speed you're going.
Our Subaru doesn't have lane change, so this is a fucking horrific bug that will kill someone by putting them under a semi.
I can repro this at most speeds on any road that meets the above condition.
Yes, I know the issue you're talking about. The fix I've found is to always maintain the same grip on the wheel. If you want to change it up then yank the wheel a bit to let it know you're there and then do so.
I'm surprised it got implemented in such a manner.
After 2008 we also "benefited" from very high oil prices which drove the dollar higher
That high dollar didn't do any positive things for Ontario & Quebec's export oriented manufacturing sector though, which is why I put "benefited" in quotes.
