In practice, it's young men of lower socioeconomic statuses that are failing to register. This is due to lack of knowledge or presence in the system more than conscientious objection. e.g. Prison or being homeless.

Many choose to get their life together in their late 20s and 30s, only to find out they can't get job training or student aid. These are legislatively mandated penalties and cannot be unilaterally removed by the current administration.

There's no clause for late signups outside of that window.

The only way out is to prove that you didn't know, which is difficult. There's about 40,000 people a year requesting the paperwork to appeal their loss of benefits.

I don't believe there's a general student discount for Claude.

The school will hate you no matter what. But this project doesn't appeal to VCs because social networking isn't trendy anymore.

Try doing something fresh with AI.

Example: the founder of Cluely got expelled from Columbia for creating an AI to cheat at LeetCode-style interviews.

He also spends his time posting what some call unprofessional engagement bait on social media. However, he just had a $15 million Series A.

Unlimited token-based usage of Claude Code is not in the budget for many students and employees.

At the same time, companies are demanding experience with these tools.

This is stratifying the industry. I have many talented classmates that can only use free GitHub Copilot. They're likely being screened out in favour of rich classmates with $200/month Claude subs.

As a result, they'll be more likely to get low-paying jobs that don't provide access to top-tier AI tools and the effect will compound.

I think this'll be even worse as Claude phases out subsidies.

If $2000/month subscription to Claude for 4 years of university is the minimum required for a Big Tech job, this field is going to become law/finance levels of cliquey.

Nobody is talking about that because it's bad for both AI booster and skeptic narratives but it's happening.

I am surprised that OP, having seen that movie and quoting lines from it during his meeting with the administration, didn't see this coming.

> I know you can kinda cheese it by reducing a monster to 1-2 HP

In practice, I've found it difficult to get monsters to 1-2 HP since it often means not using your most powerful attacks. On harder difficulties I usually can't afford the opportunity cost.

He's been a developer on Wesnoth since 2012 but only graduated university in 2024. Unfortunately, it's been an absolutely brutal market for new graduates. Even if you're a maintainer on one of the most popular OSS C++ projects on GitHub.

I can't recommend him enough.

People will clean garbage and shit for a DB pension, stability, not sitting at a desk, and avoiding corporate politics.

All of these things are easier to give to sanitation workers because human waste is a recession-proof good and it's less affected by boom-bust. Many people want these jobs.

If you're a tech worker that likes a clean office and new technology this is boring.

But I'm sure there's a sanitation worker going on a similar rant about how terrible the tech industry is.

The reason why Discord is so strict is because the platform was super insecure back in 2015 and third party clients could ban people/destroy servers/etc.

That isn't true anymore yet the ban is still in place.

That meant we can go from 17 minutes on 32 cores to 5 minutes on a few hundred. And because it's distributed compilation we don't have to provision each developer with an overpowered build system they won't be using most of the time.

It could also eliminate our CI backlog because autoscaling. Over a few hundred engineers building this codebase this probably a few thousand hours of waiting a week.

This took me about 2 weeks as someone who graduated 9 months ago. Most of the tokens were spent in several hour long debugging sessions relating to distributed systems networking and tracing through gRPC logs because the system wasn't working until it did.

I think I'd need several years of experience and 6 months as a full time engineer to have accomplished the same thing pre-AI.

Since I work at a semiconductor company near Toronto there's nobody around with the distributed systems experience to mentor me. I did it mostly on my own as a side project because I read a blog post. I literally wouldn't have been able to complete this without AI.

I'm sure the actual solution is terrible compared to what a senior developer with experience would've created. But my company feels like it's getting ROI on the token spend so far even though it's double my salary.

Contrary to perceived politics, many Muslims will eat kosher food because it's a superset of halal rules (excl. alcohol).

It's a globally consolidated certification through organizations like the Orthodox Union. This is unlike halal which is local and has many scammers offering to pencil whip compliance. This means many Muslims will prefer kosher to "halal" food to avoid due diligence on the certification agency.

To tie this into age-verification, companies and ecosystems will use the strictest method that makes them globally compliant. Consumers will prefer that convenience even in the presence of intense political beliefs.

A bank that uses seamless OS-level age checks everywhere will win against one asking manually in the jurisdictions it isn't required.

Yes, that's what causes the parsing bottleneck. Unity builds don't need to create multiple copies of templated functions.

C++20 modules could fix that because the function is parsed before substitution. Tbd on if that optimization works yet, I tried it on Clang 18 and it didn't.

> But the linker is single threaded and notoriously slow

I think most linkers have parallel LTO and `mold` provides actual parallel linking.

This is because C++ compilers spends a lot of time redundantly parsing the same headers included in different .cpp files.

Normally, you get enough gains from compiling each .cpp file in parallel that it outweighs the parsing, but if you're artificially limited in parallelism then unity builds can pay for themselves very quickly as they did in the article.

C++20 modules try to split the difference by parsing each header once into a precompiled module, allowing it to reuse work across different .cpp files.

Unfortunately, it means C++ compilation isn't embarrassingly parallel, which is why we have slow buildsystem adoption.

Your manager tells you to reduce memory usage of the program "or else".

Pretty much.

Trying to convert an existing build that doesn't explicitly declare object dependencies is painful. Rust does it properly by default.

For example, I'm discovering our clang toolchain has a transitive dependency on a gcc toolchain.
