Python's already the main contender for AI/ML, so I don't think anyone's arguing that python is too slow for serious work. But it still makes you wonder if their AI/ML would be more performant in Lisp. And of course, you never know if something is "too slow" until your traffic increases exponentially and grinds your service to a halt, and now you have to figure out a solution in your language to address that with your source of income in peril.
well, It's my laptop and Iw as playing with endeavouros on it so it didn't have any fallback kernels. choosing grub options isn't really a brains operation for most of us, we stick with defaults.
It’s impressive that the small videos are generated this way but the videos themselves are obviously ML generated as they are distorted, a lot like the other art, you can kinda tell it’s the computer.

Yikes, consecutive ad posts are going to be terrible. Honestly nothing feels worse on Youtube than having TWO ads play. I agree that they are nearing the highest amount of ad load they can get. It is terrible on Stories as it is in the Newsfeed.
I thought the same was true as reddit has become terrible imo, but it's still very popular and users seem heavily engaged. The key I think is human curation, even if reddit mods are frequently found to be terrible in odd ways, they keep things healthy compared to AI moderators that eventually end up killing the network.
> in 1914, 2/3rds of the US lived in abject poverty[1]

Your cite doesn't support that. Besides, during the 19th century average height increased enormously (a sign of good and consistent nutrition), mortality rates dropped dramatically, life expectancy increased, and the growth of the middle class was spectacular.

When the US entered WW1, the German soldiers were shocked by how tall they were, and how well fed and well supplied they were.

I.e. your claim is completely false.

> The US's phenomenal ascent in international status and power is directly tied to its monetary policy

None of your cites support that, either.

The community mental health services movement actually started in the 60s, and coincided with a deinstitutionalization movement that you can tie to general social progressive policies during that time (civil rights etc).

The idea (rightly so imho) was to destigmatize mental health, and to move to a model of reintegration, and not route people into institutionalization where they couldn't get out.

This model declined during the 80s, and to a lesser extent 90s, for many many reasons. One is defunding, so you ended up in a situation where the institutions closed, but then as part of general government defunding (ala Reagan and post-Reagan trends), the community mental health services closed.

Another issue that's probably less apparent is the neo-Kraepelinian movement in psychiatry that started in the 70s and accelerated during the 80s kind of was at odds with with the community services model. It allowed for treatments (think antipsychotics) that allowed people to leave institutions, but I think boxed in thinking about psychiatric care during subsequent decades. "Psychopathology as a medical illness" when it works in extreme cases is good at getting people out of residential institutions, but then is bound to a hospital-patient model that the US isn't very good at getting out of.

So at the same time psychiatry was succeeding at getting people out of institutions through a biomedical model of psychiatry, it was kind of failing by neglecting the sociocultural side of psychiatry. So people get out of institutions because of effective medications, but then when they're out there, they're tied to hospitals for care and not community centers as they were originally envisioned.

Basically, community-based care works, but requires a certain amount of infrastructure like anything, and it's been neglected to some extent because of biases in the healthcare system. It's also difficult once you recognize that psychiatric difficulties are bound up in very big socioeconomic structural issues that require a lot of political will to change, and if you don't, it incentivizes a head-in-the-sand kind of reaction.

I wouldn't be surprised if there was a return to interest in these kinds of decentralized care models for various reasons in the coming decades, but it's hard to say.

I think it's unfair to tie community mental health service trends to Reagan in particular, but I do think to the extent you attribute certain trends in public and government service funding to Reagan, it's accurate to say that Reagan-era trends were one contributor to problems.

That's the fun part: every technology and tool has its own bespoke way of handling certificates, and it often isn't as simple as adding a certificate to the system store.

My first reaction was "isn't this just a release notes". Then I read the nvim release notes. They're not notes, they're a git dump.

I suggest that instead of writing with this sort of confrontational tone you offer to write a note-style summary for the nvim team. You're making an open-source contribution, you may as well upstream it.
This premise was discussed a few times prominently on HN, and it appears to be accurate. There is an initial surge in people leaving as a country climbs economically; then it tapers off and reverses after you get rich enough to support what I would guess is a broad middle class quality of life.

If you don't see the ethical challenges, then you are choosing not to see them. If you are truly interested, the paper has a good section on it and some sources.

Yes, this technology can be used to augment human creativity. It is difficulty to see how disruptive these tools could be, as of now. But it is pretty clear that they are somewhat different than previous programmer as an artist models.
I love to follow this field because the engineers working on tokamaks/stellarators/other fusion devices are dealing with some truly extreme technical challenges. However, creating devices that economically overcome those challenges at scale seems unlikely when solar panels and batteries are aggressively decreasing in cost. How will these compete if scientists figure out the longevity problem for perovskite solar? Just my opinion as a layman. I still think the research is worthwhile because of possible future applications (space?)
Or it's a very good thing for keeping tensions under control with both countries benefiting drastically from keeping the relationship functional.
"According to the HackerEarth 2020 Developer Survey, Ubuntu is the most widely used operating system among professional developers (66 percent Ubuntu, 61 percent Windows, and 57 percent macOS). Many developers or DevOps engineers have a battery of scripts, tools, or libraries well tested on their Ubuntu desktops or laptops. Providing Ubuntu desktop on Workspaces gives developers and engineers a familiar and compatible environment allowing them to work from anywhere, with access to a wealth of open-source tools and libraries in cutting-edge fields like data science, AI/ML, cloud, and IoT. All Ubuntu WorkSpaces benefit from Ubuntu Pro, which includes support for expanded security patching for 10 years."

I have always done the opposite using SML/NJ's CompilationManager, then deriving mlb with cm2mlb -D MLton (in the mlton repo), with mlton specific code then wrapped in #if (defined(MLton)).

That you can use CM as a library has always been really handy, but otherwise the same, using MLton for production builds.

So these bulk scanners exist, and the issue is a solved problem, but none of the "root" repos for the popular language stacks are using them?

It seems that Microsoft has built an internal tool that runs such a scan on NuGet (https://devblogs.microsoft.com/nuget/how-to-scan-nuget-packa...), at least against your individual app's packages. (That would be a very rare h/t to Microsoft from me.)

EDIT: Apparently, you can also do this with npm packages (https://docs.npmjs.com/auditing-package-dependencies-for-sec...). I don't see any facility to do this with Ruby gems.

It looks like the common practice would be to outsource the issue database to GitHub, and let whatever scanner you're using cross-reference that list?

What happens when it finds a reported problem? Does it automatically delete that mirrored package, and/or block it from being downloaded or used from the on-prem repo?

This is all new to me, and has helped put this in context, but what actual software are you talking about using for analysis?

You assume wrongly, Pythonista has been in use for both genders for a long time (more than a decade).
I did and one option in order to keep costs low is to rely more on high end automation. And when there is no capacity then have it spread around allied countries first. It makes sense from a strategic point of view. Countries such as india have no issue, as we see in the comment section and its actions, to look after its own citizens first. Why shouldn't we follow a similar approach? Why send manufacturing to countries that blame their issues on us and first chance they have to take selfish action they do it. Shouldn't we also (by we and us i mean all aligned countries including those in asia and latin america) look after our own first? It feels like so often we help nations develop only to have it backfire later on.

I've found often in my career that, sadly, learning things the hard way is usually the best way to remember the lessons.
I generally agree that the documentation is a problem. A lot of the code is commented, so if you can find a package in nixpkgs that is using the same language, you can usually do some copypaste, somehow find the function definition it's referencing, and then it's not so hard to make the changes to package your new package. But "somehow find the function definition it's referencing" is not always as easy as it sounds... I think it's the only way to learn though. The documentation just isn't up to the level it needs to be to be self-sufficient.

As for flakes, they're not that big a change. There's some entry point which you have to learn about - a special file (flake.nix) that defines inputs and outputs according to some predefined structure. But the output leafs are just normal nix code - it's just that there's some builtins that can't be used because they do side effects at runtime. But that's less important than it sounds, because if you're using nixpkgs (as a library/input or as a source for copypasting) then it's flake-safe.
Exactly. We have a blindspot, we can't imagine second and higher order effects of a new technology. So we're left with first order effects which seem pessimistic for jobs.
I suggest becoming an expert user of generative AI systems. You can start by exploring Midjourney and Stable Diffusion, then move on to video systems once those start becoming available.

Effective prompt design is a very deep subject, and one that is changing all the time.

My optimistic version of all of this is that people like yourself will be able to continue doing the work you are doing today... but better, and faster. You'll be able to produce higher quality work because the generative AIs will be able to speed up a whole bunch of the more time-consuming tasks for you, allowing you to spend more time on the creative and editorial side of things.

I believe people with genuine skill, talent and taste will produce better work with the assistance of generative AI than people that do not have that existing background.

I might be wrong! I hope I'm right.
Yeah, I've been starting to explore those. Its all crashing together quickly.

If Clojure was a bad tool then people wouldn't be using it in the first place. There is a big barrier to getting started with Clojure because it's semantically different from mainstream languages. The mere fact that people use it and there are successful companies built on it demonstrates that the language does provide value.

If you create a TreasuryDirect account using my SSN, do you then require a durable power of attorney to manage it on my behalf, as laid out in 31 CFR § 363.33?

The optimist keeps trying to do something even as the evidence piles up against it. He calls someone pointing this out a pessimist.

In general, for any action, there is already some means of judging whether it's a good one. Not a perfect means, but you can get some idea. And after trying things a bit, the evidence gets better. It's utterly vital to use negative information obtained in this exploration. Otherwise, you can go off into an institutional failure mode where resources are poured down a black hole just because that's what's been done before.

Not necessarily... Nix is compelling enough today that it could experience explosive growth even if core development was completely stuck. If that was the case, newcomers would still find enough value to stick around and spread the word, but existing pain points would go unaddressed.

I'm not close enough to Nix development to know whether this is the case or not in this instance, but the Discourse post makes a compelling argument about pull request statistics. Sibling commenters also point out that flakes have become a de facto standard despite being hidden behind an experimental flag, suggesting that the flag has lingered too long and without clear ownership or authority around stabilizing the feature. That indecision feels like floundering.

Fusion will absolutely not be "10x cheaper", in any possible circumstance. Rather, it would necessarily be at least 10x as costly as fission; and fission is not now competitive, and gets less competitive all the time.
