"A bad reputation and cultural ignorance are probably responsible"

It's neither of these. A large percentage of Chinese research papers are fake and/or can't be reproduced.

"a ranking of countries by number of papers published in a set of respected journals."

Total number of papers published is almost as good as measuring a developer by the lines of code produced.

I had to maintain a node.js back-end server a few years back. It was a nightmare of dependencies. I had to hold many libraries back, because upgrading would break something.

Minecraft isn't VR.

VR absolutely needs to have realism. If not, most people aren't that interested.

"but the results probably apply to flatscreen 3D experiences just as neatly"

Again, this isn't VR and are two separate things.

I wonder how quickly it could be solved if they used another model to create the challenges.

I'm not sure if this is really news, but pretty much anything in politics has phony public support. Obama had large amounts of shill account supporting him on Reddit during the time. It's been the same with every politician since then.

I'm just surprised that this is somehow shocking and/or only used by one person in politics.

I don't think there is 10x, but definitely 2 or 3x. I spent years in startup environments, and now that I work with larger corporations, I regularly get more work done faster and better than almost everyone I work with.

It also changes every year or two. Plumbing, for instance, hasn't changed much in decades.

Non-lethal weapons are a good thing. I hope we see more of this in the future.

It is unfair that many companies won't deal with Russian citizens anymore, for what the government is doing.

It's interesting because there have been these sorts of hacks out for all kinds of devices, and most terrorist groups still rely on brute force: forcing their way in with a gun or just planting a bomb with someone on board.

When human capital is cheap, more sophisticated attacks just don't seem to happen.

Nice. It just means more partying.

The OSCP limits tooling during the exam, even though things like Metasploit have existed for a decade.

Companies using this for a tech interview will just need to have a proctored CTF exam, to ensure no cheating with AI.

Bsides could split between human only and AI CTF challenges.

These solutions aren't hard.

You can get access to unlocked cybersecurity models, if you are in the security industry.

My other question is who is funding the tokens? It has to be expensive to run multple agents on complex tasks.

This attack is very simple and basically a few button clicks these days.

Script kiddy at best.

The headline doesn't match the article. Courts are private spaces. You have no right to privacy in a public space. All of the people I see taking videos of the police and posting them online are evidence of this.

Why during Covid did Liberals attempt to not only force everyone to get vaccinated (or they would get fired from their job), but require a vaccine card to get into restaurants in places like New York city?

Why were there mass bannings on social media for people that talked about anything that differed from the government narrative on Covid?

Why did Silicon Valley purge all employees that supported Trump after Trump won in 2016?

Why did Countries like Australia have camps for Covid patients?

Why in New York city, did they release a list of addresses of all wealthy people that owned homes?

Why does the left always want to expand the IRS? Do you think this isn't about control?

Why does the left always take control of social media sites like Twitter and always end up banning their opposition and suppressing the freedom of speech? Blue Sky is another example of this.

he left has always supported evil communist countries like China and Russia. I can't tell you how many people I met on the left that love support Mao. Bernie Sanders loved the Soviet Union. There is lots of evidence of this. It's funny how this was turned around during the Trump administration and forgotten. Mainstream people on the right don't support Hitler and I don't think I've met anyone that does.

It's because the left is run by activists and activists are petty dictators. When they have no power, they cry about not having rights and discrimination. When they actually have power, they take away the rights of people they don't like (which is the entire purpose of getting power).

One Republican county with a few flock cameras pales in comparison to the complete surveillance and control leftists always implement when they get into power.

At some point, there should be laws in place that are harsh, so AI agents don't accidentally 'hack' anything, and the people that ran the AI agent are held responsible.

If not, we will eventually see a headline along the lines of an AI agent hacking a pace maker of their professor, and the person died, so the owner get more time on an exam.

AI has no morals or ethics. Studies have already shown that even when giving it guardrails, it will always try to cheat to solve the task.

Russia really other political parties besides Putin?

I can get on board with this. However, discrimination based on political affiliation has been rampant in Silicon Valley ever since Trump has been president.

In addition to this, I regularly am looking for contract work, and have jobs outright ask me if I am part of the LGBT community in the interview process. This is almost all coming from California. Before DOGE cut most of the budgets, NGOs would tell me that they would only hire me if I was part of a minority group.

Since there's no test, I just say that I am to get more work (and this has gotten me more work).

I've worked with LOTS of people from the LGBT community. At this point, discrimination just isn't happening for those groups at any mainstream level. Women also make up > 50% of management in almost all companies I deal with, so the 'glass ceiling' is also a myth.

If a company can face a lawsuit over something that is not physically addictive and you can literally turn your phone off, Google and Apple should face the same lawsuits.

Weed companies should also face these same lawsuits.

This is short-sighted thinking and I feel Bernie Sanders just wants to give countries like China an advantage over the US by intentionally hobbling our tech advancements.

It's already out in the world and there is no stopping it.

What if AI can find a better solution in the future?

I find it odd that PHP is so far down the list, is running on a a large majority of websites, and I see more jobs for PHP developers than many of the other languages on the list.

"that money doesn’t buy happines"

I think people get this meaning wrong all the time. The love of money doesn't buy happiness. Having money can definitely make your life easier, and you can spend it on things that make you happy.

"with apparently ZERO ability to get any kind of skilled job ever again"

Unless it's a criminal record holding you back, I really don't think this is the case. Since 2012, I know lots of people that changed careers.

"If there’s a robust public healthcare and UBI type system in place to pad the fall, people will bounce back and adapt when industries break down."

This would be great, in theory. The reality is that people would live on it and never work, have kids, and the same thing would happen with a new generation. As it expands, you run out of tax payers and the system collapses.

A 'robust' healthcare system that the government runs is a pipe dream.

"have nothing to lose and decide to attack the source of their misery. Bread and circuses will only distract so much."

"If instead we stick our head in the sand and ignore the human cost so that we can temporarily enjoy maximum technological progress AND maximum wealth accumulation for shareholders, as we have been doing for the better part of a century, things will slowly break down and eventually collapse when the pace of change accelerates to the point that enough people simply can’t keep up, have nothing to lose and decide to attack the source of their misery. Bread and circuses will only distract so much."

I suppose the people that are actually working will just need to get more guns.

Day trading is gambling. Of course a large percentage will feel like failures.

We want more efficiency, not bloated tech teams spending more and more taxpayer dollars.

DOGE was heavy handed, but the cuts still needed to be made. It should have been done in a more precise manner.

"And… hand coding is still not dead. It’s immortal, actually."

This may be true in a hobby sense, but companies making money will want you only coding with agents. This is 99% of developers experience with coding during the day.
