I do really wonder how it's going to shake out.

I fully expect AI can and will be used to hurt the masses in those ways. But on the other hand the masses may very well be made substantially wealthier by AI cutting through all the arcane memorization and beurocratic bullshit that society has levied upon them to keep them down over the past 100yr.

Why do I need a $$$$ dentist to assess my X-rays. Why not a $$ hygienist assisted by AI and checked by the dentist in the odd cases? Now multiply that sort of labor reshuffling by every sector of the economy.

> How large is large?

About the same size as amount of physical memory. For Word 97, minimum system requirement was 8MB RAM. That’s not just for the word, also the entire OS.

> Loading and saving a few GiB from my SSD is pretty fast

Indeed, that’s one of the reasons why modern word processors stopped doing complicated tricks like the ones I described, and instead serialize complete documents.

> a special file format and use virtual memory

That’s not the brightest idea: inflates disk bandwidth by at least a factor of 2. A modern example of software which routinely handles datasets much larger than physical memory is database engines (large ones, not embedded). They avoid virtual memory as much as possible because IO amplification leads to unpredictable latency.

> Saddling some guy on an underpowered Chromebook

The guy will be fine. The program might allocate a large buffer on startup but will only use the small initial slice because chromebooks don’t come with particularly large screens. Linux kernel does not automatically commit allocated memory.

How does different count affect search? You can use a bookmark to change the view, and if using bookmarks is too much, ok, but that's not a bold universal reason.

(also, what is "huge success" in methods of organizing issues?)

bookmark: (and if your browser supports shortcuts, it can be as easy to open as remembering to type a single char)

> As far as I'm aware, most large open GitHub projects use tags for that kind of classification. Would you consider that too clunky?

Speaking for another large open GitHub project:

Absofuckinglutely yes.

I cannot overstate how bad this workflow is. There seems to be a development now in other platforms becoming more popular (gitlab, forgejo/codeberg, etc.) and I hope to god that it either forces GitHub to improve this pile of expletive or makes these "alternate" platforms not be so alternate anymore so we can move off.

Can you tell me what was the context that lead you to create this?

Unrelated JSON experience:

I worked on a serializer which save/load json files as well as binary file (using a common interface).

From my own use case I found JSON to be restrictive for no benefit (because I don't use it in a Javascript ecosystem)

So I change the json format into something way more lax (optional comma, optional colon, optional quotes, multi line string, comments).

I wish we would stop pretending JSON to be a good human-readable format outside of where it make sense and we would have a standard alternative for those json-centric case.

I know a lot of format already exists but none really took off so far.

By high school there is definitely an expectation that everyone has a phone. They will literally miss out on a normal method of communication between friends and classmates.

They miss out on the social group and then fade away from it and just become "that one guy in our class."

The last time I mentioned this several people argued that, "true friends would stick together" or some such. Well, if you already have those friends. But if you're in high school and finding yourself, you probably haven't met all of them yet.

A lot of both communication and organizing of social events happen through the phone. Kids without a phone (or some online method) will just be forgotten. This is just the reality.

Unrestricted access? That depends on the kid. We had them charge in the living room (no overnight use), and their computers were actual desktops in a single office in the house.

We never used filtering or tracking software. The one exception was blocking youtube (through /etc/hosts) for my youngest during covid when it was too big a distraction.

Yes explored that path too with CRDTs.

- DDL gets really tricky in these cases, that's why you see Corrosion has this weird file based system.
- cr-sqlite ain't maintained anymore but I did some benchmarks and if I remember correctly it was as slow as 4x-8x depending upon type of your data & load. Storage bloats by 2x-3x, tombstones accumulate pretty fast as well.

I mean each mutation on every column looks something like:

table, pk, cid, val, col_version, db_version, site_id, cl, seq

Overall I dropped the idea after spending month or two on it.

They have arrested some. Have heard of Teslas getting keyed too.
My sense is that Elon being less in the spotlight recently has allowed some of the anger he provoked to cool off. But the brand damage, I am afraid, is permanent.

Thank you for that, I'll update my database.

"That famous quote, "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it," isn't actually by Voltaire, but was written about him by Evelyn Beatrice Hall in her 1906 book The Friends of Voltaire, summarizing his views on free speech, though he strongly championed it, notes the BBC and Quote Investigator."

Two points here.

First, automation is a new orthogonal dimension. You can have automation with or without plain text.

Second, your emphasis on "automation" leads me to believe that perhaps you misunderstand what accounting is. Accounting is not just taking a list of transactions and recording them (database, file etc). That is called bookkeeping. Yes, accounting is also amenable to automation, but much less so than bookkeeping. Although, you could argue that when applied to the life of a normal individual, accounting and bookkeeping are almost indistinguishable. You have income, you have costs, and you have a mortgage - pretty straightforward. My point is in general you cannot entirely automate accounting. The reason for that is that accounting isn't just processing bytes, but instead requires the understanding of the underlying economics associated with the transactions. This understanding in turn isn't stored anywhere other than the accountant's mental model of the entity he's doing the accounting for.

EDIT: Just to be clear, I don't disagree with you that accounting could use more automation. Everything could use more automation. But for something it's more straightforward than others.

> It is done less routinely, usually under assumption that since it is women who are mostly at risk, why bother testing men. Which is horrible mindset in anything related to epidemiology.

No. The general reason that people don't do the test for men is that DNA testing is extremely sensitive, and produces a lot of false positives for a virus that is widespread.

It's also not actionable. You can't treat an asymptomatic infection, and a positive leads to the same outcome they would give anyway: use physical barriers and abstinence.

(Edit: hilariously, your first link says exactly what I just wrote, at the very top of the page. Did you read it?)

This in no way excuses anything currently going on, but I think you are missing the forest for the trees and flying off the handle without engaging with a valid point of discussion because it wasn't a perfect example.

One can condemn the invasion while also considering what would happen if a US neighbor cozied up with its geopolitical rivals. How about the Soviet Union/Cuba? How did the US react to that?

How does their revenue rely on it? People won't buy/recommend their games if they can't solve a fundamental problem, without full control over the machine their product is running on? Then they can change their business model and/or game mechanics. Simple as that. The only reason that blatant security violation was ever considered a viable option is because Microsoft gave them the ability to actually do it with the click of a button. Those companies can adapt, or die.

With due respect, this comment conveys a position of privilege and surviver's bias. I, like you, eschewed online rules as a minor and I luckily benefitted from this time in my expertise. I was lucky. I didn't run into predators when using TF2, Runescape, or MySpace, but that doesn't mean the threat wasn't validated on with persons (children at the time) that fell through the cracks.

The story outlined, one of a child prodigy solo-navigating the gritty online world of pre-2000's, is old and tired. An active parent can support a child at all ages safely in these "hacker" moments that are described without giving them un-reined access to tools. A parent should be able to ask "how was your day today?" and get a truthful answer about online activity, just like the same question being asked at the end of the school day. It's out of curiosity and protection, and from a nurtured relationship.

A guy I know in Estonia used to sell peptides, swearing by them for health and longevity. He was always vague on what they were or how they worked, but hyped 'peptides!' I believe he imported them from Russia.

I felt a little skeptical ;) I suspect his business has now stopped, with border controls. It never occurred to me at the time to wonder about the legality of the supplements.

The same guy also swore by electric gyms. He believed working out was for chumps: takes too long, too manual, too much effort. Instead, he went to a place he knew -- again, today I wonder about regulation and legality -- where they wired him up via electrodes and ran current through his skin, the idea being it would stimulate his muscles. I saw a machine and recall the current could go quite high, and they would place electrodes on your chest. They openly warned about setting it too high. I wondered how it affected his heart.

If someone has anti-AI opinions and spends zero effort explaining their position, I assume they have "AI Derangement" [1], a hate/fear perpetrated by the Big Scare media and podcasters seeking like/subscribes.

You can spend a tremendous amount of time using these tools to accomplish pretty stunning results already:

- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tii9uF0nAx4 - Made by a film school grad as a demo of real filmmaking combined with AI VFX.

- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAQWRBCt_5E - Created by a Hollywood TV writer for an FX show you've probably seen. Not the best animation or voicing, but you can see how it gives a writer more than just a blank page to convey their thoughts.

- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWZYP5jn5w4 - Music video. Slightly MAGA-coded, but made by a Hollywood VFX person.

- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAAiiKteM-U - Made by a film school grad as a Robot Chicken homage. If you're going to tell them "don't use AI", then are you going to get them a job at Disney? Also, all the pieces are hand-rotoscoped, the mouth animations are hand-animated, and every voice is from a hired (and paid) voice actor.

- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4NFXGMuwpY - Made by a film school grad as a Robot Chicken homage. See previous comment.

- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_KXYpaTe_8 - Another slightly MAGA-coded music video. Made by the same Hollywood VFX person.

- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hlx5Rslrzk - Amazing Spider-Man vs. Carnage anime created with ComfyUI and other models.

- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqoCWdOwr2U - Christmas Grinch anime.

- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKYeDIiqiHs - Totally 100% cursed. Made by a teenager following the comic book's plot. Instead of this teenager spending 100 hours on Fortnite, they made this.

- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ps5Dhc3Lh8U - A Pixar-like short film

[1] Creators and artists using AI have been harassed, doxxed, sent death threats, name-called, sent shock images, etc. by anti-AI folks at such volume, that we've become bitter about these people. This is literally just a new tool in the tool box. We shouldn't be treated like this.

Kinda the problem with anecdotes isn't it? :)

My own anecdotal experience with VLC was that while every update fixed something, they also broke something in return - and these updates were common. This got annoying enough at some point for me to hop ships, and so I switched to mpc-hc and never looked back.

I've since also tried (and keep trying) the to-me still newfangled mpv, but I'm not a fan of the GUI or the keybinds. I know it can be customized, but that's not something I'm interested in doing. I know there are alternative frontends as well, but I checked and they're not to my liking either. So I mostly just use it for when mpc-hc gives out, such as really badly broken media files, or anything HDR.

> They don't get to use them unless we let them, but we mostly use them to learn how to type, write, draw, play learning games, Khan Academy, and to mess around in general.

That seems fine to me. What I'm referring to above is that the kid literally just has an iPhone with, as far as I can see, virtually no restriction. I imagine you would not let your kids use their device to scroll through Youtube Shorts for an unsupervised 2 hours, for example.

Just like it's hard for me to find the right balance of benefit to downside in technology for my kids, it's also hard to strike a balanced tone when discussing my feelings on this stuff. Every time I write something about this problem online I feel like I'm coming off as some authoritarian luddite - which I'm definitely not. I want my kids to get the benefits of technology. Any bright future for them is almost sure to include the need to engage with the net.

Instilling the values that allow for that is the hard part.

100% on the UI. My main gripe with GnuCash is that it's impossible to do "mass actions" from the UI.

On the point of "library" - you know that "GnuCash the app" comes with its lib, and there's python wrappers? I've only ever used these to produce reports (read, reports different from the ones provided by the UI). However I believe it's also possible to do things like inserting transactions via these python wrappers.

Another example of something which is possible via the python wrappers is labels. GnuCash doesn't support labels, but it supports adding general text to each transaction and to each leg of each transaction. So you can e.g. use hashtags in the text, and then consume transactions into python and aggregate on these hashtags, making them effectively labels.

Or instead of turning parental controls on, instead teach your children how to identify bad stuff online. That way, they can catch people (peers OR adults) doing or asking really bad stuff. And teaching also has great benefits of lasting a lifetime.

Well, except for doing parental controls on your boomer parents TV, blocking Fox news. Thats a good usage of it. You're not going to defeat propaganda believability with boomers. So blocking is best bet.

Way too complicated for me :)

I just have 1 text file with monthly data. Each month is on a separate line, with only 5 columns (expanded below).

1.date 2.saldo 3.savings 4.delta 5.special income / outcome (heading line)
1 31 january 2026
2 500
3 2500
4 -80
5 dinner -50, concert - 30, sales +80, trousers -80, etcetera

Where the date is the last day of the month that I need to make (the next day there is income, for me it's 19th, not 31th). Saldo is my bank account that day. Savings are, well, savings in a separate account. delta is the sum of special income and outcome. row 5 is all special income and expenses. Groceries are not listed, I need them every month anyway.

Think of it as shared responsibility. The tobacco and the virus are both reasons why you got cancer and died, prizes for all.

So maybe 70% of throat cancer victims have HPV, and like 70% smoked - and if those were independent facts you'd expect that about 49% both smoked and had HPV, but it's actually more than half 'cos it turns out that if you have HPV then smoking is even worse. So that's nice.

One hypothesis might be the crony administrations embrace of AI with no apparent checks on their behavior.

Zuck can get an audience with the President, who can basically override any so-called independent agencies determinations. Congress is neutered and SCOTUS seems to enable this behavior. All while our power bills go up and we fuel data centers by polluting our environment

So I wonder if it’s not just AI, it’s AI with seemingly no recourse from the public to check capitalist excesses.
