The hard part of programming has always been gathering and specifying requirements, to the point where in many cases actually using natural language to do the second part has been abandoned in favor of vague descriptions that are operationalized through test cases and code.

AI that can write code from a natural language description doesn't help as much as you seem to think if natural language description is too hard to actually bother with when humans (who obviously benefit from having a natural language description) are writing the code.

Now, if the AI can actually interview stakeholders and come up with what the code needs to do...

But I am not convinced that is doable short of AGI (AI assistants that improve productivity of humans in that task, sure, but that expands the scope for economically viable automation projects rather than eliminating automators.)
I’ll try not to do the quote/respond thing too much, but a few things about this post concern me.

> I don't have fun with my kids.

I think that’s a serious problem. Personally, I would prioritize that over all the studying and activities. They are kids. Fun is their job.

> I can't even play computer games when I want to because my kids take too darn long to finish their homework

Let them do their homework on their own, and you can play some games. It’s not your homework, let them do it.

Or just play games instead of the reading you don’t enjoy.

People, they’ll be fine without all the activities. Go out and have some fun together.

Maybe I should re-word my original statement - Science has most definitely turned into (or is very similar to) faith-based followings/religions. I'm going to speak from a mostly western, north american viewpoint of the world.

Would you not say that there's many many people that don't truly understand the intricacies of what science is and what it's become, but still follow it without asking questions?

Academically, I would assume that for the majority of people, science was something you were taught to blindly trust growing up, being told that scientists have your best interests in mind while they spend time finding out everything about the world and coming up with reasons/theories for the way the world works and interacts with itself. The world wouldn't be anything without science, they say.

Religion is based on a set of beliefs, followings, teachings, determined and taught/shared by "qualified" individuals like priests/pastors - followers were raised from a young age to follow, internalize, and spread their faith.

When you go to church (catholic in this example), you're asked/silently obligated to donate to the church when the collection plate is passed around. You're giving money, and debatably power (in form of money) to the church to keep spreading their beliefs.

I think it would be foolish to assume that there weren't rich kings/countries hundred of years ago giving money to the church to influence certain activities/actions through religious decree/law.

Today, we have numerous examples of corporations lobbying governmental and scientific institutions to push whatever is the cause de jour. There was corn syrup lobbying in the 2010's and who knows how far back, you had the food pyramid in the 90's that heavily promoted food groups that the USDA itself was subsidizing.

There's so many outside influences, blind faith/trust, etc. etc. that I feel comfortable in todays day and age saying that society in general "trusts" science like they would "trust" a religion to keep them safe and alive, and healthy.

The same way that if a company puts pages you can access at `www.example.com/1` and you then access `www.example.com/2`, which you should not access, you're violating the CFAA.

I haven't read the CFAA in a while but it is extremely broad. It boiled down to "if you access a system in a way you should not, illegal".

Or how accessing the same page a billion times per second, a page you have every right to access a few times, is illegal.

Or if you dial into a nuclear arms facility with your phone.

The gas port in Poland [1] took 4 years from start of construction to first delivery. From project start it was 9 years.

I’m not putting Poland as some kind of benchmark for speedy construction, but I think 1-2 years is a minimum even in a hurry.
Deep breathing and guided meditation audios or videos. For me, the guided meditation is especially effective for falling asleep.

The easiest thing you can do is go to YouTube and search for guided meditations. I've recently been listening to Jason Stephenson sleep meditations on YouTube to fall asleep.

You should also consider consulting a psychologist. A good psychologist should give you the tools and techniques to manage anxiety.

I think it's more nuanced than that:

In the past, AMD just straight up had horrible software.

More recently, AMD have been investing more in open software, probably with the goal that indeed, a community form and they get "leverage" / ROI for their investment.

On the flip side, Intel invest heavily in high-quality but jealously guarded and closed source software.

With this nuance, I'm not so sure it's clear cut which one is "acceptable," and it's an interesting ethical question about Open Source and open-ness in general.
Interesting, I had never heard of Internal family systems before, I'll definitively look it up.
$30bil is not the correct numerator, regardless of if you take total tax revenue or refunds. The $6bil is.

That number also includes people who got scammed out of their tax refund by third-parties. Worldcoin would not prevent that; if anything Worldcoin looks exactly like one of those scams.
Naive at best, honestly. Twitter from their very beginning has screwed over developers who used their platform. So have many of the other companies in their cohort.
If a small conpany is creating enough profits to finance one persons life, well, that's just great.

IMHO the real "life style" businesses are those VC backed start-ups never reaching profiatbility. Because in those cases the founders get to play CxO on other people's money, living this "entrepreneur" life style. One start-up after the other.
Yes, I believe so, although millions of qubits are still many orders of magnitude away from the largest quantum computers currently in existence. If Moore's Law applies to quantum computers (big if) then it will take about 50 years for quantum computers to crack 256-bit encryption within a day. Maybe this will spark a cryptography arms race where keys just get larger for a while to postpone that day.

I wonder if there could be conscious life inside neutron stars, organized through nuclear reactions not chemical and therefore going much faster.
I don't think the fact that it can be enabled/disabled by environmental variable indicates malicious intent. It could be as simple as that Intel doesn't care to test there compiler optimizations on competitors' CPU's. If have to distribute two types of binaries (one which were optimized but could break, vs un-optimized and unlikely to break), I would default over to distributing the un-optimized version. Slow is better than broken.

I understand some end users may not be able to re-compile the application for there machines, but I wouldn't say its Intel's fault, but rather the distributors of that particular application. For example, if AMD users want Solidworks to run faster on their system, they should ask Dassault Systemes for AMD-optimized binaries, not the upstream compiler developers!

Anyways, for those compiling their own code, why would anyone expect an Intel compiler to produce equally optimized code for an AMD cpu? Just use gcc/clang or whatever AMD recommends.

The jobs of commercial pilots are very safe.

Pilots are not there to fly the aircraft, the autopilot already does that. They are there to command the aircraft, in a pair in case one is incapacitated, making the best decisions for the people on board, and to troubleshoot issues when the worst happens.

No AI or remote pilot is going to help when say... the aircraft loses all power. Or the airport has been taken over in a coup attempt and the pilot has to decide whether to escape or stay https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NcztK6VWadQ

You can bet on major flights having two commercial pilots right up until the day we all get turned into paperclips.

Iain and I previously discussed this a bit, so just to add context: WebKit is already ported to CHERI BSD, so there are definitely solutions to the kinds of hax that JIT VMs like to do. The details just become very platform specific (specific instructions/operations that are supported like pointer shifting or high-bit tagging), so it's hard to discuss/describe abstractly without a CHERI expert or ISA manual next to you.
You're describing the market for low end commodified illustration. e.g.: cheapest bidder contracts on Upwork or similar 'gig work' services.

In practice in illustration (as in all arts) there are a variety of markets where different levels of talent, originality, reputation and creative engagement with the brief are more relevant. For editorial illustration, it's certainly not a case of 'find me someone who can draw X', and probably hasn't been since printing presses got good enough to print photographs.

>I feel very okay about hate speech laws, if they're reasonable.

Well I don't know what to tell you, because one way to describe what happened to you is that twitter removed an account that uses hate speech. What you said can easily be interpreted as "kill yourself", and if you think that's silly because it's a newspaper and not an individual, I would agree. But that is the "slippery slope" that you seem to dismiss while being a victim of it.

edit:

>I'm also frequently the target of hate speech and a cult that wants to see people like me eliminated from society exists freely on Twitter

Another question for my curious mind - do you know what BNWO stands for?
just curious how it would look like under German techno
> Great. Let's legalize selling yourself into slavery while we're at it.

This is a non-sequitur. A slave, does not have autonomy. Nothing in the parent comment supports slavery. You're trying to draw a false equivalence between consensual sex work and slavery.
The expectation in the HPC community is that an interested vendor will provide their own BLAS/LAPACK implementation (MKL is a BLAS/LAPACK implementation, along with a bunch of other stuff), which is well-tuned for their hardware. These sort of libraries aren't just tuned for an architecture, they might be tuned for a given generation or even particular SKUs.
> We did not type-check our codebase

For me that's the most surprising. Personally type-checking has such an immediate ROI on productivity. Even if adopting it incrementally. It's certainly not required to build a business but it's not something I'd skip.

I still like the overall point of the article.
Agreed, and it should include the prices in brick and mortar stores. There is no reason not to print the price and the price+tax together.
Oh. So you've reinvented PHP. Nice.
So, don't include their javascript. Its so simple.
Electric miles driven is the more important metric.

People who only drive once a week can probably cope with high fuel prices for their second hand car, and their CO2 output is minimal.

People running a business e.g. deliveries, taxis or otherwise high mileage uses will be passing up a lot of money if they don't switch to EVs with low fuel and maintenance cost. They're already competitive in TCO for these users and only going to get cheaper.
I don't like this way oh phrasing it, as if growth was some external religious belief that has infected us. The reality is far more depressing.

When you get down to it, what is growth? Growth means tomorrow is more comfortable than yesterday. Try getting elected telling people tomorrow won't be as easy as yesterday... much easier for voters to stick their fingers in their ears and shout "lalala"
Legitimizing it as a profession might be one of the few ways which allows the people that are caught in the vicious circle of abuse as sex workers to actually make it out. I would be very cautious in using any moral stance into forbidding anyone full autonomy about how to use their body.
Not true, and also not possible.

If a kid or parent can log in from offsite, it is not technically possible to force all browsers or systems to monitor and restrict activity. I can log in through Firefox (or curl, for that matter) and not have my activity sent to the school.

Also, there is absolutely no legal way the school could force the monitoring of activity from an offsite computer (unless it were school-owned), even if it were technically possible. To secretly and silently install spyware on a parent's computer when the parent logs into the child's account would violate so many laws and constitutional protections I can't even list them.
sorry, i also use clojure for hobby projects and am familiar with clojure/repl/etc.

i guess i assumed that since this thread was about web frameworks that their large clojure code base was also a web application. though i see that isn't necessarily implied.
The website needs to include VAT in the price if they sell to consumers, and can show prices without VAT if they sell only to businesses. VAT depends only on country, so that is not as difficult to calculate as sales tax in the US.

Some companies (eg. Alternate) have different websites for consumers and business customers, other companies (eg. Conrad) allow you to toggle between pricing modes (with tax or without).

The price is usually shown without shipping, but there's usually a little button "calculate shipping prices" where you can type your zip code and then they show the shipping prices.

I think one day we will look back how insane it is that our programs are not isolated. Why does every program I run need access to my SSH keys?
We really need small businesses. I would hate to see them go extinct and only be left with a few mega corporations. It would be a shame to lose the local pizzeria serving up authentic, quality food and only be left with Little Caesar's and Domino's. They both have their place.

In a way, it sounds like you're looking for a way to label yourself, give yourself an identity.

But I think you're trying to use generic high level language to describe your personal, specific niche. It doesn't really communicate anything.

Looking at your submission from yesterday, and your product submission, it sounds like you want to make products, and market them so they are successful, so you are successful. But this focus on finding a superfluous label doesn't seem like it's going to help you get there.
Ever since Vercel killed `now`'s ability to serve an index.html with `now .`, I stopped being a fan. That and the pricing blunders have unfortunately pushed me away.

This is list is not a list of thing not to do, simply some popular things we did not do. I'm absolutely not saying type-checking is bad.
> This makes sense but doesn’t square with the lack of black authors. Would black academic researchers studying pegagogy be better than actual teachers?

It helps to have people who understand education and who understand (often from personal experience) the very phenomena one claims to be addressing.

> Is there a evidence or accusation of discrimination in the selection of the authors?

There is no accusation, merely an observation which was enough to attract the ire of the Stanford prof.
I get that after reading your blog post, so that's fair. Maybe it's just a case of the magic trick that's missing that third act.

I'm not sure, that I can express myself in English, which is not my native language, and this needs some very nuanced control over tiniest shades of meaning, but I'll try nevertheless, just for fun of it at least.

The original girl is more open, more independent and mindless. The interpretation's girl is more self-controlled, assertive and not interested really, just going throw all those movements of regular communication between people. Maybe it's just me, but what I really value on such occasions is mindlessness, the ability of people to not mind themselves, to let their selves to dissolve in the environment. I cannot keep tears in my eyes sometimes when I watch some entertainer playing Chopin or Paganini, because what I see in their movements is complete dissolution of a person in a piece of music, in a piece of art and skill. An entertainer just do what they do with their full attention on it, and with all their motivation focused on it. There is nothing here for them, just them and their actions.

There is not a single thought devoted to how people around me would react to what I do and how I do that. I just do what I do and I do not care about people around me, and if it somehow makes people happy... I don't care really. I mean I know that afterwards I'd feel a pride of myself, but just for now I don't really care.

I know this feeling. I like to sing, and I'm good at it (above average), and I know what it feels like to dissolve into the song and to let song to rule. I play piano and I know what it is like to dissolve into the piece I'm playing, to stop myself from existing, to let music to take the lead. And the original painting make me believe that the girl is in this state of mind. I do not know the history or the remaining of the story, I do not know if she get into this state for a second, of she never leaves it (it may be a sad experience, don't you think?), but somehow I know that right now she is right in this state. I want to watch this her moment for an eternity.

Thinking about it, I'd confess that Interpretation Girl does trigger the same, but on a smaller scale. I feel how my mind is trying to find a coherent state to her gaze, but this feeling stops in tens of microseconds, not hundreds of them.

Bitcoin is the first decentralized cryptocurrency, but the concept dates back a while when we consider centralized applications. The bit gold architecture dates back to 98' and is arguably a direct ancestor to the BTC whitepaper, but only existed in theory.

In any case, I'm in the 'decentralized cryptocurrency is still relatively early in the grand scheme of things' camp. What's really going to matter, in my opinion, is Gen-Z and younger generation's adoption and iteration on the concept.

There's a whole chain of this thinking in SF. Asimov was the first to use the analogy in the 1950s though he never chooses the exact phrase "traffic jam":

https://quoteinvestigator.com/2019/10/23/traffic/

Pohl in the late 1960s acknowledges that he isn't the first to have this idea, but does actually use "traffic jam": “Somebody once said that a good science-fiction story should be able to predict not the automobile but the traffic jam”

I rather like Heinlein who a little earlier (1966) suggests SF would have predicted something more interesting, instead of car -> traffic jam, Heinlein says good SF would have predicted car -> teenage fumblings in borrowed car.
Cooking and food service is near universal in human society and is a hard job that often pays absolute garbage while working people very hard.
