Yes, I think that's how it will go, like all those other industries. There will be an artisanal market, that's much smaller, where the (fewer) participants charge higher prices. So it'll (ironically?) end up being just another wealth concentrator. A few get richer doing artisanal work while most have their wage depressed and/or leave the market.

Thanks for reminding me of the word plinth. I agree with the author that the job is less fun now, less interesting. I'm doing and accomplishing more, and it matters less. And unfortunately, having other ways of defining your identity doesn't really help, for me. What it does is make those other aspects of myself relatively more attractive as careers, in comparison to this one. Although then again, I suppose it's helping in the way you intend: I could leave (and I might), I could adapt. So I'm feeling none of the fear or anxiety about AI. Just something that I think is roughly boredom.

You're confused, and as evidence I cite your feigned interest in that guy's achievements, which are irrelevant. You want to argue on the internet.

I have people skills! I am good at dealing with people!

Would be gratified to see a male, David Lee Roth, added to the whistle register examples! (Edit: or James Brown)

I agree. Will add

Could probably just add Mike Patton to all the sections lol

4th Amendment, unreasonable search. And of course the 2nd, but the former is more worrying. Also if printing is speech, then you can add the 1st to the list as well.

The 4th amendment has probably been the most eroded of all the major private liberty amendments, in my opinion. It is, at this point, a pretty worn fig leaf.

Eyes on the prize, friend, and don't capitulate prematurely.

The problem is, nobody is willing to use 2nd amendment rights to defend other amendments.

Right, so they can't use the blocked print as cause to get other evidence. Or if they do it is excluded.

Reminds me of people who think penultimate is just super-duper-ultimate.

Or “epicenter”.

All prefixes eventually become intensifiers?

"Irregardless"

The grammatically correct version is "Irredisregardless".

You almost have to do this, or buy a used one at a markup, as nobody seems to make them anymore (except circular ones).

Still available in Germany („Rechenschieber“), eg https://www.wissenladen.de/products/der-rechenschieber

Following a post on HN a few weeks ago, I bought a used one to use in the kitchen for scaling recipes. It has to be a linear one for that, not circular, so you can set it and read it without touching it again. I also have one in my "apocalypse kit" in case of, I dunno, an EMP?

My dad was an engineer in the slide rule era and taught me how to use one when I was a kid. He said when he was in college all the engineering students had them hanging from their belts in leather sheaths like gladiator swords and they would slap when they walked.

Are we supposed to ignore announcements of documented compromises then? Or are you saying compromised software is the safest of all?
