Intolerably ChatGPT-esque. Which is a shame, it seems like a nifty little DIY experiment.

I think what stands out to me is this cartoonishly punchy, faux-dramatic framing.

That, and specialist terms that seem to be thrown in there in an empty way, just to signal subject-matter expertise that’s not even expected of a DIYer’s experiment report:

That article mentions basically that they’ve heard that some apps crash a bit but it’s anecdotal and not uncommon with beta/new upgrades before a patch or two (not uncommon), and that he personally dislikes or has trouble with some of the transparency or other design changes.

Neither of those things worry me personally, and I think the previous user calling it a “crappification” is still somewhat of an overreaction. Obviously from an accessibility standpoint transparency/legibility is important but as far as I’m aware tweaks are being made and these things can also be turned off or modified in accessibility settings.

I was thinking the same thing, but I was watching his human calculator video [0] and there are moments where his mouth moves quicker than his brain and he has to catch himself a few times. My guess is he's given this talk and rehearsed the mannerisms so many times that he's on auto-pilot.

>You find the most crazy, unhinged, out-there thing said by a Democrat/Republican, and you use that to paint all of them as crazy, unhinged, completely out of touch with reality.

This only works when you assume every person is the same. The POTUS saying these unhinged things makes it hard to discount this as some fringe argument. Especially when Congress and the SCOTUS do nothing to check it.

I'd add that in my experience, when you are close to the action, the cynic "golfing nepotism" take is usually missing a point of view that is far more rational; just far from the developer/architect that is dismissing the decision. Perhaps not technically optimal, or fair, or even legal - but even so, more akin to "I know this person delivered in the past, and the alternative is also good on paper" or "I really need to save my ass" (nobody got fired by choosing IBM) or "business-wise, this technical recommendation I don't really care for". Perhaps I'm optimistic but in general I don't really think (or want to believe) that people are quick to wage their careers on an acquaintance that is clearly selling something as part of their job, unless the stakes are really not so high from their point of view. Then again, open a newspaper :)

What's your definition of a moat?

There's a reason Norway makes a lot of money from oil while Greenland doesn't. I'm not sure why the word moat doesn't apply here?

Sure, with enough money you can overcome any moat but to me that's the whole argument behind a moat. We have something right now that a competitor would need to spend a lot to reach and during that time we can just get ahead of them.

If you have an existing iron mine and coal, to me you have a moat over generic competitor in creating steel because you already have suppliers for your steel mill lined up. Although some may argue that those are actually anchors and that you could import both of them for cheaper and then supply your mill that way.

Not cart, but another maintainer of Bevy here.

More traditional game engines tend to be a giant tangle of pointers with much more complex lifetimes than what Rust's borrows would allow. For example, the skeleton used to animate your character is reliant on a centralized hierarchy of transforms, which is deeply interwoven with physics, rendering, gameplay scripting, etc. These relationships and lifetimes is difficult or impossible to model with Rust's borrows, forcing the use of unsafe, and makes it harder to expose safe Rust interfaces to engine users due to Rust's aliasing rules around borrows and essentially forces the use of a scripting runtime. These factors also make it very hard to make performant multithreaded code without littering locks or channels everywhere, in any language or runtime, not just with Rust.

Bevy's ECS handles this by flattening these relationships. Instead of pointer chasing through the physics system to fetch rigidbodies which then point to the transforms, you expose the backing ECS memory as a query view: `Query<(&mut Transform, &Rigidbody)>` directly fetches all entities that have the two components without relying on one to hold a reference to the other. The lifetimes of the queried components is strictly bound to the surrounding function (a system in ECS terminology) by the borrow checker, and all of the unsafe used to create those borrows is neatly packaged behind the ECS crate boundary. This is so effective that the majority of Bevy's crates can have `forbid(unsafe_code)` enabled.

The downside here is that all of the complexity is now centralized into the bevy_ecs crate: there are many parts in it that are basically C written in Rust, but that does mean that we can focus all of our memory safety efforts on that one crate instead of making that collective responsibility of everyone in the ecosystem.

Of course, we do expose unsafe APIs from the ECS, but the use of this escape hatch explicitly demarcated, and generally you'll only see incremental performance improvements (no big-O algorithmic gains) over their safe variants. With the sole exception of `Query::get_unchecked_mut` allowing parallel access to mutable components that cannot be proven to be safe from static analysis (e.g. parallel hierarchy traversals), which enables parallelism where it otherwise would not be feasible.

Ghostscript. Depending on specific needs it may be much more turnkey than Pandoc, which isn’t actually doing much directly with things other than intermediating, iiuc. (LaTex) does the heavy lifting.

Ghost script is working with postscript natively and will likely manage idiosyncrasies of web content better. It’s got a decent ecosystem, command line, you can find gui’s if that’s your thing (no judgement, your lifestyle is none of my business).

Many other good tools mentioned here as well, but if your asking because you need more, or fine grained (near infinite) control over the pdf composition, there’s nothing OSS I can think of that approaches its capabilities.

You're absolutely right that predictions exist on a probability spectrum. I focused on the binary for rhetorical clarity, but you're correct that some predictions are more likely than others.

That being said, it doesn't change my point about agency. Your prediction #2 (LLMs impacting the economy) seems "almost inevitable" precisely because thousands of people are actively working to make it true. If everyone stopped tomorrow - if OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc., all pivoted to other projects - would it still be inevitable?

The appearance of inevitability comes from observing massive coordinated human effort toward a goal, then mistaking that effort for natural law. It's like watching a thousand people pushing a boulder uphill and concluding "that boulder inevitably goes up."

Why is the government doing mass-surveillance for alleged civil[1] infractions?

---

[1] Nearly all deportations - overstays are civil, not criminal[2][3] cases.

[2] If they were criminal cases, every accused would be constitutionally entitled to a trial by jury.

[3] Anyone using the term 'illegal' to refer to those people is speaking out of both sides of their mouth. They want to make them sound like criminals, while denying them the constitutional protections that all accused criminals are entitled to.

Making "social room" is incredibly broad. I am fine with someone wearing what they want, speaking in a manner they desire, or stepping away if they are stressed. But I won't accept anything.

It all depends on how large the accommodation is. What if they say my talking overstimulates them and I must write everything down. Also the stress from masking is too much so we can only work together 30 minutes a day. In that case no, I would need to work with someone else. Not because I dislike them, but because we are not getting a project done that way.

> No reason web businesses can't do the same.

These aren't equivalent though. I can flash my ID to someone to buy cigarettes at my gas station and reasonably believe that no third party is storing my ID. The clerk looks at it (or scans it? I have actually never purchased anything requiring an ID before), and I go about my merry way.

If I go online to consume adult content, I definitely do not want my identity to be associated with my proclivities, and I certainly don't trust any third party to handle my ID with the sensitivity it ought to have.

I could probably wax poetic about how it is perceived as a time of innocence but high culture, before "technology and science" ruined stuff, a time that is immortalized in literature such as Robin Hood, King Arthur, and imitated today by Tolkien and Rowling alike.

It is especially interesting the way people tend to portray it drained of all religious overtones and entirely secular in nature, so that it is palatable to all comers, whether pagan, Christian or Jew.

TFA completely fails to mention the utter fandom that has grown alongside RenFaires: The Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA). People who are involved with the SCA basically have ongoing year-round RenFaires of various magnitudes. They develop entire in-world personas for themselves and they're assigned to Kingdoms and such, regionally. I'm not sure of the relationship between the two, but it's certainly symbiotic and RenFaires give a taste of what people can have, 24/7 in the SCA.

Medieval life is also attractive to traditionalists of a Christian nature, again -- before everything was "ruined" by science and modernism. We all love going back to the 16th century to see how it all went wrong, or the 11th century to see how it also went wrong!

What's more, plenty of other subcultures draw on medieval tropes, such as goths and filkers and whatever con-going fandom is up to these days. Any competent cosplayer can "seamlessly" meld into a medieval princess or wench just by designing the right costumes, and there are plenty of YouTubers and Etsy sellers ready to assist!

The multi-core score listed in the main results page for EPYC 9534 is 15433, but if you look at the individual results, the ones that aren't VMs with fewer than all the cores typically get a multi-core score in the 20k-25k range, e.g.:

https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/6807094

https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/9507365

The ones on actual hardware with lower scores typically have comments like "Core Performance Boost Off":

https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/1809232

And that's still a higher score than the one listed on the main page.

As someone who tried Roku, Android TV, and Fire TV before switching, better hardware offers a vastly better experience. The Apple TV's hardware is fast. The UI doesn't lag. Things feel smooth as butter. Yes, maybe the Apple TV doesn't need more, but more can be helpful.

In terms of AV1 support, YouTube often only does 4K with AV1 so that's an issue for people.

Personally, I'd love to see an Apple TV that was great for gaming. New Apple processors have hardware ray tracing and decent gaming performance.

I think it's also likely that Apple will try and make an Apple TV that will support next-gen Siri and on-device AI stuff. Yes, you can complain about Apple's AI delays, but Apple's probably looking toward an Apple TV that can support their AI models.

In some ways, "what benefit would a new <insert-thing> have?" Sometimes we don't know until we have it and people start using it.

The main reason I don’t like Python very much (besides performance) is that it makes what should be simple tasks complex due to the expression problem, arising from its use of class-based object orientation. You can avoid some of the issues in your own programs (but can’t escape insanity such as ",".join(["a", "b"])), but as soon as you delve into a library of any complexity to make alterations, you’re mired in a morass of methods encased in classes inheriting from other classes, and nothing is straightforward. Discovering Julia, which solves the expression problem¹, was enlightening. Even if it were as slow as Python, I would still prefer it: it is simpler, more beautiful, and more readable.

LLMs tend to produce ridiculous similes, idioms, euphemisms, and analogues that fall apart upon the slightest scrutiny, as though they are genuine English constructions. I despise it. No one in reality writes like that. Who the hell thinks 'bytes and pixels' are a battleground? if you want to talk about licensing problems, just say they are licensing problems, don't accept shitty similes from LLMs that humanise decidedly non-human constructs. More so if it's a technical discussion: just get to the bloody point.

I like using real idioms that have percolated through culture ('birds of a feather', 'white elephant', 'nip in the bud', etc), not stupid contrivations.

As someone who sweated through hours and hours of English essay-writing in school, LLM output that is misrepresented as genuine human writing is annoying and highly disrespectful of the reader's time and effort. The moment I saw the stupid, contrived headers and dozens of emojis, I closed the tab.

I refuse to waste my time reading the output of a matrix multiplication done in some server farm when I could do the latter myself.

Do you mean charts? If so, it's Datawrapper: https://www.datawrapper.de/charts

One of the quite expensive paid plans, as the free one has to have "Created with Datawrapper" attribution at the bottom. I would guess they've vibe-coded their way to a premium version without paying, as the alternative is definitely outside individual people's budgets (>$500/month).

> Also apps seem to assume "because hardware decode isn't available don't serve AV1" sometimes.

This isn't a completely unreasonable decision, since the current 2022 model's software AV1 decode apparently can only sustain 4K AV1 decode (although it handled 1080p content fine in my test) for as little as 45 minutes before thermal throttling kicks in.

Not the angle I'm coming at it from.

I mask as a coping mechanism for ADHD and Social Anxiety. This masking causes me harm. I learned it in the way you describe.

The most helpful learning I've gotten through years of therapy has been to: (1) recognize what I'm doing (2) not beat myself up about it (3) try small steps to change my behavior so that I can feel good about it.

I'm the only person who can unlearn this for myself. I don't blame anyone who masks, and have nothing but empathy for the experience, but I'm proposing they can find a different way.

> if you look at a 3d object that you can only see one side of, can you make inferences about the other side of the object? Can you rotate it in your head? Could you quickly be able to tell whether an object will fit in a particular hole, without actually trying it?

Obviously I cannot know for sure what the other side looks like without seeing it, but I can make a reasonable guess and yes, I can mentally turn around objects in my head to see if they fit.

I also enjoy woodworking and repairs and other activities that force me to think 3D, but I believe it would be much easier if I could think in images.

This is almost certainly LLM generated.

Six flowery “from-to”s in one article:

>from beginners to seasoned professionals

>from seasoned backend engineers to first-time data analysts

>from GPU acceleration and distributed training to model export

>from data preprocessing with pandas and NumPy to model serving via FastAPI

>from individual learners to enterprise teams

>from frontend interfaces to backend logic

And more annoyingly, at least four “not just X, but Y”.

>it doesn’t just serve as a first step; it continues adding value

>that clarity isn’t just beginner-friendly; it also lowers maintenance costs

>the community isn’t just helpful, it’s fast-moving and inclusive

>this network doesn’t just solve problems; it also shapes the language’s evolution
