Why though? A one-time wonder that gets displayed as the project for 20 years hardly constitutes a proof.

I keep hearing about these inferior technologies. However, the only ones talking about "inferior technologies" are these marginalised languages that are so full of themselves: Smalltalk, Erlang, Haskell...

It comes down to a very simple thing: these languages are supposed to be superior to basically anything else. And yet... There's hardly anything made/built in these projects that can show the world that these claims are true. Except maybe some closed-source business cases. Having been on the inside of one of such a case, I now take these stories with a grain of salt the size of Jupiter.

The point is that deployment of police power to a particular location/situation becomes public record immediately and unconditionally, and the press can (and does) follow up on it.

Police getting to operate in secret is a dangerous road to go down. Same reason that the names of suspects who get arrested are public. It might suck for their future reputations, but the alternative is a world where the police get to make people disappear.

A lot of creative professionals would instantly become destitute. There are thousands of artists, authors, composers, developers and designers who lead hand-to-mouth lifestyles that revolve around their royalty payments.

With respect to the OP, code != blueprints. IMO, code == bricks.

But bricks are just one piece of the puzzle of building a house, just as much as the blueprints are just one piece of that same puzzle. I just disagree which piece they are.

Other than that, this seems to be a reasonable response on the subject from an experienced developer to someone who hasn’t been in the business as long.

> How much value do you think there would be in some sort of semantic analysis

Disclaimer: I'm the founder of GitSense (https://gitsense.com), which is also focused on predictive defect analysis, among other things.

Incorporating semantic analysis, by cross referencing semantic code changes with bug reports/static analysis report/stack trace reports/etc., will be absolutely critical for defect analysis and automatic code generation, in my opinion. It's also not trivial, both from a computation, storage and retrieval perspective. For example, running semantic diffs analysis on every revision (on any possible branch) and cross referencing the results with external data like bug reports, continous integration results, etc. is a very expensive/complex operation.

In order for ML to work, you need good datasets and in order to generate good datasets, you need lots of raw data (static analysis results, code change history, etc.) that can be data mined and cross-referenced, to produce meaningful data. Creating good datasets for ML, in a scalable manner, will require you to rethink how to extract, store and retrieve code related information.

With GitSense, it's designed to be installed on every developer desktop/workstation, which is how I solve the computation problem. Since every developer workstation is designed to be a continuous indexing machine, indexing can be distributed across dozens, if not hundreds or thousands of machines. Being able to index and cross reference as fast a possible, is absolutely critical, since the goal is to prevent developer mistakes from happening.

Generating semantic analysis is fairly straight forward. Incorporating it, is where the challenge lies.
Well, I think the lack of a definition for what is meant by abstract or abstraction is critical. For example there is some discussion of an abstract base class but the article keeps missing that in Object Oriented Programming the term abstract class exists. It describes an 'incomplete' class which cannot be used to instantiate objects but can be used to hold common behavior.

There is nothing logically wrong with an experiment like that. But there is no economic / political path where this happens. Even, say, there were a massive political turnaround in the next election cycle that could push something like that, just the international treaties would make this difficult enough.

You cannot ever eliminate poverty because the baseline (definition of poverty) is moving with the results: if poverty was having nothing to eat a few hundred years ago to not able to buy a car every 5 years and have a vacation abroad in our days (this is how it is defined in Europe), then in 200 years not having a hyperspace yacht will be poverty and you will struggle to provide it to everyone.

> IQ does negatively correlate with race, that's a fact

This is not as much of a slam-dunk as one might think. There's a need for more very careful work that attempts to isolate race from culture.

Race is not even a well defined concept, although obviously heredity works, and we understand a lot of the detailed biology behind it (heredity).

If you come from a culture of learning, with centuries of history of scholarship, and many scholarly role-models, it's going to affect how you do on IQ tests. It's not nature OR nurture, but BOTH.

As a programmer and scientific-minded person, I can't overstate how much I can teach my kids about the areas I'm highly trained in, almost independent of their interests or even aptitudes.

There's a reason why children of lawyers become lawyers, why children of doctors become doctors, and why children of athletes become athletes, etc. It's not just genetics, although it can seem that way.

By modeling behaviours in the home you teach so much more than kids learn at school, etc.

So ... be very careful not to conflate race and culture, and if you have any info on how people have systematically tried to isolate the two, I'd be interested in refs. Thanks.

I have to disagree. If you look purely at hardware cost of bare metal vs. what the same compute costs on cloud then sure, cloud is more expensive.

> It is just as easy to automate [..]

It's really not. As someone who's done provisioning automation at 2 companies, this is hard. Hardware is difficult, every new generation of hardware introduces new challenges in the provisioning and the more hardware configurations you need to support (and different vendors, all kinds of PCI plug-in cards etc), the more likely things go wrong. It takes a full team to build, maintain and debug this. It takes a couple of hours to build a GUI that calls the GCP API's to provision an instance for you, assuming you even need to do this instead of just using the Cloud Console directly. Sure, you pay for it, but now you have 4-10 engineers freed up to do something that provides actual value to your business.

> [..] if you plan well [..]

If. But that's really hard. Capacity planning and forecasting is complicated and the smaller a player you are, the harder it'll be for you to get a decent vendor contract with significant discounts and to be able to adjust and get to hardware quickly outside of your regularly forecasted buy-cycle. On the other hand, it's not your issue in the cloud. You request the resources and as long as you have the quotas, you'll get it (with rare exception).

> [..] and more secure [..]

I severly doubt that. In most cases, though you can host your stuff in certified DC's you'll still be in a colocation facility. Most cloud providers have their own buildings or rent complete buildings at a time. No one else but them has access to those grounds. Aside from that, take a look at what Google for example does on GCP to ensure that their code and only their code can boot systems, how they control, sign and verify every step of the boot process[0]. I've yet to see anyone do that and I doubt most companies that do bare metal have even thought of this or have the knowledge to even execute on this.

[0]: https://cloudplatform.googleblog.com/2017/08/Titan-in-depth-...

Aside from all of this, cloud isn't competing with just providing you compute. VM's (GCE, EC2) is just the onboarding ramp. The value is in all the other managed services they offer that you no longer need to build, maintain, scale and debug (global storage and caching primitives, really clever shit like Spanner or Amazon RDS/Aurora, massively scalable pub/sub and load balancing tiers, autoscaling, the ability to spawn your whole infrastructure or your service on a new continent to serve local customers in a matter of minutes etc). If all you're using cloud providers for is as a compute provisioning layer, then you're doing it wrong.
Can you contribute more on 'That's the point of the article.' ? The question I asked, perhaps badly was exactly "What is the point of this article?"

You state "59 years ago ... well before the consensus about the reality of global warming began to form." And I had pointed out that 59 years ago there were several different threats to the world that were pointed out by brilliant people, what is the point of going back and cherry picking one that panned out? (the others haven't)

I really did not see any point to the article. Since you did (see the point) , and you assert that the point involved the timing of the conference and the discussion it contained, what is that relevant to? The greenhouse effect was discovered in the 19th century[1], and by 1959 it was common knowledge. Teller was doing a nice side by side comparison of energy technologies in 1959 and notes one side effect that burning fossil fuels has, based on 19th century science, that nuclear power does not.

When I read that article I felt that it creates a false narrative that somehow the petroleum industry was 'warned' and then through 'and its conspiracy of silence, deceit, and obstruction' somehow blocked something. And my argument is that this is silly, if we were to take any scientific hypothesis as fact and start acting before the science was in (and I gave several examples of where that would have been 'bad') we (collectively) would have made the wrong choice.

On the contrary, there have been several high profile incidents where police radio traffic was used to demonstrate ill intent. It's difficult to use a tool day in, day out like that without getting complacent.

Open radio also makes it more likely the news media is there when the action is still happening instead of giving cops time to paper over their mistakes.
I have seen this done by a couple different people. They were not recognized as insightful, and more often recognized as annoying. They also often don't summarize properly but it's easier to let them conclude and pretend they were useful than to debate with them.

> you have to find a solid alternative for creative workers before you can abolish it.

Why? Being a "creative worker" doesn't mean the market owes one a living. Abolishing copyright would make competition and innovation easier, as well as allow creative people more freedom without fear of legal repercussions. This would benefit consumers in the long run by driving costs down and forcing quality to win in the marketplace, rather than letting a few big companies assert control over valuable IPs.

Many of us believe the right to freely edit and redistribute software is fundamental, why would that right not naturally extend to all forms of media? Especially given that most creative output nowadays exists as software.
