"We’re nowhere near the end of the shortage,” said Brad Gastwirth, Circular’s head of global research. “I think it lasts through the end of 2026 and at least the first half of 2027.”

Enterprise is what determines commoditization as that's where the lion's share of the revenue comes from. Maybe it will eventually happen to MS Office, maybe it won't, but until it happens it hasn't happened. Access to the full MS ecosystem, technical support and seamless integration, these things matter a lot to businesses, and I'm not even saying you're wrong, but I'm not convinced yet that something similar won't play out with coding agents.
LibreOffice didn't replace MS Office, and Octave didn't replace Matlab. It seems to me that there is even less of a moat with these products than there is with Claude Code, yet neither was commoditized.
The economics of bitcoin mining dictate that the work must have no other utility. If you increase its profitability by using it for auxiliary winter heating, then more people will mine bitcoin until there is an oversupply of heating and we return to the current equilibrium amount of "wasted" heat.
I think you misinterpreted the tone of my original comment as some sort of gotcha. Presumably you're overloading the addition symbol with some other operational meaning in the context of vector embeddings. I'm just calling it addition because you're using a plus sign and I don't know what else to call it, I wasn't referring to addition as it's commonly understood which is clearly associative.
Are you not based in the US or unable to relocate? I understand the tech job market is at a low point right now but there are still enough programming jobs across the entire continental US that you should be able to fill 40 hours a week applying to them + auxiliary tasks such as coordinating interviews, interview prep, working on your resume, etc.
Like others have said you need to switch to employment mode, and finding a job is your full-time job
Information entropy is literally the strict lower bound on how efficiently information can be communicated (expected number of transmitted bits) if the probability distribution which generates this information is known, that's it. Even in contexts such as calculating the information entropy of a bit string, or the English language, you're just taking this data and constructing some empirical probability distribution from it using the relative frequencies of zeros and ones or letters or n-grams or whatever, and then calculating the entropy of that distribution.
I can't say I'm overly fond of Baez's definition, but far be it from me to question someone of his stature.
The disinformation landscape of this conflict is insane. This article paints a decidedly optimistic picture, however I fear the reality is far more bleak.
Unreliable casualty numbers aside, Russia simply has way more men, and can eventually attrite Ukraine into a demographic death spiral. Indeed, with the exodus of ~20% of its population since the start of the war, this demographic trajectory may now be inexorable. Eastern Ukraine, where much of the most fertile land is, and where most of the fighting has occurred, is now likely littered with bomb parts and unexploded ordinances, and the prospect of the jackals of the American arms industry turning it into a live weapons laboratory is particularly grim.
