We document the extent to which workers in AI-exposed occupations can successfully retrain for AI-intensive work. We assemble a new workforce development dataset spanning over 1.6 million job training participation spells from all US Workforce Investment and Opportunity Act programs from 2012–2023 linked with occupational measures of AI exposure. Using earnings records observed before and after training, we compare high AI exposure trainees to a matched sample of similar workers who only received job search assistance. We find that AI-exposed workers have high earnings returns from training that are only 25% lower than the returns for low AI exposure workers. However, training participants who target AI-intensive occupations face a penalty for doing so, with 29% lower returns than AI-exposed workers pursuing more general training. We estimate that between 25% to 40% of occupations are “AI retrainable” as measured by its workers receiving higher pay for moving to more AI-intensive occupations—a large magnitude given the relatively low-income sample of displaced workers. Positive earnings returns in all groups are driven by the most recent years when labor markets were tightest, suggesting training programs may have stronger signal value when firms reach deeper into the skill market.

In my experience managing a number of IPv6-only sites for clients, they still get crawled and abused, and this goes back years. If anything, it has gotten worse now with all the LLM/AI nonsense.

Is that $2k/$3k for the year?

This, but instead of a microwave, a pressure cooker, one of those new electric ones. I love mine and use it daily.

This goes deep into the details on why silencers are still very loud due to mechanical noise, the sonic boom of the bullet, and muzzle blast.

Looking forward to the per-workspace tiling options.

I was surprised that Bank of America still does SMS based 2FA.

Time to dig into that game backlog on Steam.

After using Kagi for two years now, I can't go back to Google or Bing. On principle, I pay for the Ultimate package because I desperately want there to be something besides Google and Bing.

Orion is not abandoned, the last beta, version 0.99.133 was released on April 21, 2025. See https://kagi.com/orion/updates/orion-release-notes.html.

When my mother-in-law died, I immediately registered a domain for her name and created a website and added the obituary, eulogy, and a photo gallery and shared that with friends and family for exactly this reason.

Ha! One of my clients who was interviewing about a dozen candidates had the same experience with most of them, they have a few left to interview.

All the candidates did really well on the online intake questions and the general meet and greet over video. However, once they arrived for the in-person part of the interview, and it got relatively technical, most did nowhere nearly as good as they did on the online. Only one or two admitted to using AI.

Man’s movies tend to have great firearms display and sound. It’s one of the things he is known for, and I think Heat took it to the next level.

My friend's father used a notebook for all logins and passwords, he used phrases for most with some exceptions. He started doing this before password managers were a thing in the late 90s. When he died a few years ago, his family had access to everything.

I thought chrome was already doing this for some google domains and using their own DNS vs. the operating DNS? Maybe I’m wrong, but I thought this was a thing.

Or getting a domain name before doing everything else.

Shhhhh!

Hypothetically speaking, can we estimate how long Firefox can survive once Google pulls the funding? A year? Two?

I do this, but on KDE. Occasionally, I need four horizontal windows since I'm on an ultrawide, so I use the built-in KWin tiling (https://planet.kde.org/marco-martin-2022-10-31-kwin-and-tili...).

I don't see how donations ensures that there is no enshittification.

Flatpak leaves stuff behind on uninstallation.

I wish this had 8K resolution at 120Hz.

Cool, but before Apple even considers this, maybe work on better spam and blocking.

In addition to Directory Opus, I also miss https://www.xyplorer.com/ on Windows since I’m on Linux.

Regarding Tristan da Cunha. I've been meaning to read “Three years in Tristan da Cunha by Katherine Mary Barrow”, see https://gutenberg.org/ebooks/8213. It's a first-hand account, written in a diary format with dated entries, providing a look at life in this remote British settlement during the early 1900s.

I just sent this article to an enterprise sales rep who has been email me for weekly days for the last several weeks, even thought I told them I was no interested and away on vacation.
