> I will lose the credibility

There's grammatical mistakes and then there is sloppiness. Only the second makes me disregard someone's comment.

> I will lose the credibility of my message if there is too much mistake...

The correct way to write this is "if there are too many mistakes", because mistakes are countable and plural. And it's fine to make grammatical mistakes if English is not your native language. You can only get better by practising :-)


What would the benefit of that procedure be?

A more equitable distribution of quality among the universities, in the long run.

> why should rest of society cater to them?

Because these undocumented people are still humans. They deserve access to information services. It's as simple as that.


It implies that the user has access to the technical infrastructure that supports age verification. Sucks to be you, if you can't afford a recent Apple or Android device to run the AgeVerification app.

There is also the problem of mission creep. Once the infrastructure is in place, to control access to age-restricted content, other services might become out of reach. In particular, anonymous usage of online forums might no longer be possible.


That technical infrastructure: a drop-down menu on the user's account settings

The EU Digital Wallet requires hardware attestation so only it only works on locked-down government-approved OSes. That opens the door for government control of all electronic devices.

What a shame. The California one is just an input box.


"Left behind" in terms of speed or are there other aspects that people are missing out on?

Speed has a lot to do with it, yeah.

A.I. is now often doing in 5-10 minutes what would take me hours on my own for any given task (well based on the last couple of weeks at least, I wasn't doing much agent based A.I. coding before that).

I was pretty much having a real-time conversation with my superiors, showing them updates just a couple of minutes after they suggested them, for a feature the other day, getting feedback on how something should look.

Something that would have taken me an hour or more each time they wanted a change or something new added.

Now that cuts both ways, as it started to seem like they were expecting that to be the new normal and I started to feel like I had to keep doing that or make it seem like I'm not actually working. And it gets exhausting keeping up that pace, and I started worrying when anything did take me extra time.

Seems like a nightmare.


I did choose to do it, so it wasn't a nightmare. I was wanting extra guidance on what to include, and so I asked them (while they both weren't busy), they gave me feedback, I did that in like a minute or two with A.I. (when normally it would have taken me a lot longer), so I showed them and was like 'how's this?' and they said 'could you change it to be like this?' etc back and forth for about 45 minutes. It was about the equivalent of a call except it was over Slack and I could provide something they could look at quickly.

What could be considered to be a nightmare, perhaps, is suddenly feeling like 'uh oh, is this going to be the new normal. Will I have to keep doing this all the time now, or else they think I'm not getting any work done?'


Yes, absolutely agree. I have that feeling too that we have to keep up that pace. But it is not realistic that everything can happen at that same speed.

How do you deal with that feeling?


I don't really know, the client I've been working at for the past 4.5 years has only given me access to agent based A.I. two weeks ago, so this is all pretty new to me (it's a large corporation and they didn't allow it until very recently).

I experimented with it a bit a couple weeks before that on my own personal projects as well, but I don't feel that same push when I'm doing my own projects, obviously (well, if I do, it's because I choose to).


It's this season's "have fun staying poor"

This is intriguing. But I wish there was a rationale/philosophy document on that site, that explains what the intentions and use-cases behind this project are. Given that cryptography is such a fundamental part of the design, I wonder if public posts are not desired.

I like simple solutions. But paper has severe storage capacity limitations, which makes it impractical for storing large amounts of data.

that's one of my AI shower thoughts, an improved version of https://www.ollydbg.de/Paperbak/ s basic idea: write compressed computer data to barcode (1d), QR code (2d), multi-color barcode ('3'd), and so on.

But I keep hoping someone will finish the 'use lasers to burn 5d storage into glass chips' project silica concept and bring it to market so I can have isolinear star trek chips.


The instructions say that rows 2 and 3 in the template can be either lower or upper case. How does the website determine the case in those rows? Does it simply check if row 1 looks different from the other rows?

You configure that in the Configuration section. ;)

But they are still a tech company. So it is likely that this will also affect tech workers.
