> Are you under the impression that Millennials are entitled to a certain amount of money? There's that entitlement complex.

All I said was that these facts have an impact on each group’s psyche and world outlook. Is that controversial to you?
I actually think it's the opposite, AI will probably be writing the stories and humans might occasionally film a few scenes. ~95% of TV shows and movies are cookie-cutter content, with cookie-cutter acting and production values, with the same hooks and the same tropes regurgitated over and over again. Heck they can't even figure out how to make new IP so they keep making reruns of the same old stuff like Star Wars, Marvel, etc, and people eat it right up. There's nothing better at figuring out how to maximize profit and hook people to watch another episode than a good algorithm.
is it just me or has the FCC actually been doing useful things for regular people the last ~2 years?
Google continues to blow my mind with these models, but I think their ethics strategy is totally misguided and will result in them failing to capture this market. The original Google Search gave similarly never-before-seen capabilities to people, and you could use it for good or bad - Google did not seem to have any ethical concerns around, for example, letting children use their product and come across NSFW content (as a kid who grew up with Google you can trust me on this).

But now with these models they have such a ridiculously heavy handed approach to the ethics and morals. You can't type any prompt that's "unsafe", you can't generate images of people, there are so many stupid limitations that the product is practically useless other than niche scenarios, because Google thinks it knows better than you and needs to control what you are allowed to use the tech for.

Meanwhile other open source models like Stable Diffusion have no such restrictions and are already publicly available. I'd expect this pattern to continue under Google's current ideological leadership - Google comes up with innovative revolutionary model, nobody gets to use it because "safety", and then some scrappy startup comes along, copies the tech, and eats Google's lunch.

Google: stop being such a scared, risk averse company. Release the model to the public, and change the world once more. You're never going to revolutionize anything if you continue to cower behind "safety" and your heavy handed moralizing.

> If you try and force a shared administration and say 'This is the central administration that you register on and instances share' then you no longer have a decentralized social network.

I was thinking of something based on concensus (see also how blockchains work) but I don’t know of any social network that work like this and I don’t know if it’s feasible.
This doesn't ring true to me at all. The majority of junk calls I get are not from legitimate businesses that would have anything to do with the links you provided.
The point is about innovation.

Maybe you think the original nonbinding agreement had a threat of force behind it, but it had no immediate consequences if manufacturers changed ports. Manufacturers were allowed to upgrade to new ports. And they did. That is how we got the innovation of USB-C.

Manufacturers are no longer able to upgrade to better ports. People saying "this won't stifle innovation because we still got USB-C" have things totally backwards.
biological automation is always superior
This approach just doesn’t work when you have a significant number of outside parties and things to deal with. Doctors’ offices in particular often have calls coming from many different phone numbers and you just can’t rely on white listing them all. Once you get to an age where health issues happen more frequently than an annual checkup, it just doesn’t work.
I fail to to see the usefulness of your reply. My text has quite a few key phrases. However I guess you didn't see the other key phrases like. "Do that 100 times, over a 10 year period and it'll make anyone hate a specific language or technology."

Just because it changed, doesn't invalidate people's past experiences/grievances.

Personally, as I stated I don't hate it like I use to and will use it when it's the right solution to the current problem but just because it's better now days doesn't mean it has to be my first choice.

Edit: Your reply is basically the equivalent of. "Back in the early days your ex cheated on you twice... but she's changed and you should give her another shot"... A Disney/Lifetime/Hallmark movie life is not. I may talk to her and eventually be a friend, but I'm going to be weary of knives aimed for my back.

Even if solar and wind can easily supply all our power needs for the foreseeable future and beyond, it would still be worth experimenting with fusion.

If we can get it to work, we will know much more about the universe than we do now, and if we can get it affordable, we will have nearly unlimited power. muahahahahaHAAHAHAHAHHA

I liked the description of the product when I first read it. I really did. But I'm losing confidence the more OP keeps pushing in the comments.

This might be a decent product, but I'm wary of someone who is pushing hard to let them create investment accounts on other platforms on our behalf. It just feels like the kind of thing that when it blows up in the future, hindsight will say, "Why did you let someone do that in the first place?"

Bogus comment. This is very far from the truth. Lambdas and streams don't make a functional language.
My city removed all plastic recycling bins several years ago in favor of using trash sorting robots after collecting mixed waste.

The robots could pick sort 70% effectively while the population of humans after years of training was stuck at 50%. I imagine the efficiency of the robots may even have increased a bit since then.
A complex cutting edge product has many "one basket" items that have no ready substitutes. For a company with Apple's buying power, that is often the opportunity to demand an exclusive from the supplier. Cuts both ways, at least for Apple and other 1st tier OEMs.
This project cannot have the particular success of maintaining the high quality of code as the parent without obtaining TH3.

There is an extensive test suite that SQLite uses, known as "test harness 3" (TH3), that allows them to confirm compliance with the DO-178B avionics standard.

Dr. Hipp had previously intended to license TH3. Any startup with goals of maintaining DO-178B quality and compliance should do so.

Otherwise, the fork should be regularly rebased to newer branches to regularly pull new SQLite features.

TH3 is discussed at some length in this interview:

> Heck, you could argue it for everything even. Why do fruits and vegetables farms don't feel like going the illegal production route?

I’ve never illegally bought drugs but I know people that have. I would not be comfortable doing it, but plenty of people are. Drugs, especially legal ones, are expensive.

I’ve never illegally bought fruit and I do not know anyone who has. I don’t know anyone who would be comfortable doing it. Legal fruit is not expensive.
It depends on how long it takes (and how hard it is) to setup a new telecom company connection like this.

330 is 'required' in the sense that you're not allowed to take 430 at UMD without having taken 330.

Perhaps a better way of phrasing it would have been to list the things we assume students have retained from 330. One of which is OCaml :D

I hope these videos provide some value to you! Always feel free to reach out if there's anything you think I could do better.
I’ll be honest, as someone who worked in the film industry for a decade, this thread is depressing.

It’s not the technology, it’s all the people in these comments who have never worked in the industry clamouring for its demise.

One could brush it off as tech heads being over exuberant, but it’s the lack of understanding of how much fine control goes into each and every shot of a film that is depressing.

If I, as a creative, made a statement that security or programming is easy while pointing to GitHub Copilot, these same people would get defensive about it because they’d see where the deficiencies are.

However because they’re so distanced from the creative process, they don’t see how big a jump it is from where this or stage diffusion is to where even a medium or high tier artist are.

You don’t see how much choice goes into each stroke, or wrinkle fold , how much choice goes into subtle movements. More importantly you don’t see the iterations or emotional storytelling choices even in a character drawing or pose. You don’t see the combined decades, even centuries of experience, that go into making the shot and then seeing where you can make it better based on intangibles

So yeah this technology is cool, but I think people saying this will disrupt industries with vigour need to immerse themselves first before they comment as outsiders.
> These threads are a great example of the problem with open source. People will complain no matter what.

Who cares if people complain? If you're writing open source software because you want a hugbox to heap you with unearned adoration, you've made a big mistake. Respect is earned in this field, that's the way it should be. There are no participation trophies; make something good if you want people to thank you for it.
TL;DR: This person doesn't like Java, and doesn't want to put it on their resume because... They might get kidnapped and forced to write Java code?

“If you're not a part of the solution, there's good money to be made in prolonging the problem."
Java has been around since '95. It shouldn't take a language 20 years to get good enough. That's an entire generation of burned programmers who know only of the shitty versions and that is still the majority of the existence of Java. The hate for Java was long brewing.

I programmed Java way back in 2003 and I didn't like it then. C# was quickly catching and surpassed it. Almost 20 years later I have no reason to even try and go back to it. There are plenty of better options now.
I would say add these AI tools to your toolbox and use them to get things done quicker.
Kindns initiative to improve mutual understanding and security of DNS
Oh, it's very necessary because it's a significant part of their attempt to align SQLite development with modern open source practices. A code of conduct similar to the Contributor Covenant is table stakes for real-world open source development now. It provides guarantees to contributors and users that community participation will be welcoming and inclusive and harassment will not be tolerated.

With so many highly talented developers coming from marginalized backgrounds -- nonwhite, gay, trans, gender-nonconforming, and/or neuroqueer -- not providing these assurances alienates a prime talent pool.
Looks like you found them, and yes. :D

They weren't made with the thought of being generally consumed, but I do plan on making videos for the wider CS/programming community in the future.

the point about salience is important, but people differ in the quality of their memory

stephen king used to be anti notebook ('writer's notebook best way to immortalize bad ideas'), then later in life was like 'oh my memory is no longer good, I write things down now'

jk rowling (skilled in her craft if not public relations) has file cabinets full of organized creativity -- calendars for the days of the year, vast collections of ideas for names

my sense is that most visual artists have sketches and prototypes (including da vinci), but this is 0% my area. I suppose you can argue that a sketch is 'the thing' and not notes for the thing

They have only 6? I'm impressed. They really rely in the community...
There's no doubt that it's only a matter of time.

Like bloggers had the opportunity to compete with newspapers, the ability to generate videos will allow to compete with movies/marvel/netflix/disney & company.

Eventually, only high quality content will justify the need to pay for a ticket or a subscription, and there's going to be a lot of free content to watch, with 1000x more people able to publish their ideas, as many have been doing with code on github for a while now, disrupting the concept of closed source code.
>global energy consumption is exponential.

From the link:

The trend since 1960 appears instead linear. Also, population growth is slowing. But it's fun to extrapolate "exponential" trends and look at the big numbers.
There's already a surplus of video and an apparent lack of _quality_ video. This might be enough to get folks to shut the TV off completely.
They want attention but they don't have code and their roadmap of features they aspire to is gagworthy. Complaining about the way SQLite is organized and managed is pretty much all they've got.
This is generally true, but I have yet to successfully make a nix overlay for any haskell package not already in nixpkgs. I can't make heads-nor-tails of how the haskell packaging works, other than forking nixpkgs and rerunning the scripts that generate the packages from cabal.

The necessarily super-expensive fusion would be a strict liability. It will, in consequence, not be built. All work toward that is pure waste.

The DoD does spend a great deal of our tax money on fusion, but not for "abundant cheap clean energy". It is, rather, for uses like what is occurring in Ukraine: death and destruction; and for vaporizing cities and ports, distributing radioactive fallout over wide areas.
I hate to break it to you but all humans are greedy. It's a feature, not a bug, and it is in our DNA. Some just don't have an avenue to manifest said greed but would very likely do so if given the opportunity.

Just like you can't expect a woodchuck to not chuck wood, don't expect humans to not be greedy. That will only result in disappointment and resentment.

Rather than trying to fix greed, embrace its inevitability and modify your goals so that you create systems which channel that greed into positive externalities.
Some aspects of the ADHD experience might sound universal, but the key difference is the impact on your life.

Someone with a more neuro-typical brain might not be thrilled about mundane experiences, but can still tolerate the situation.

In an ADHD brain, mundane experiences over-engage areas of the brain associated with physical/emotional distress (amygdala). ADHD brains are also impacted by abnormal dopamine regulation, which affects the reward cycle for accomplishing mundane things.

Here are some comics to help contextualize: https://twitter.com/adhd_alien/status/1182670794633207813

I think one of the reasons so many people showed up to post about ADHD here is this, from the OP:

There's a clarification from the original poster of this [1]:

"Well, I was wrong. I now believe the canary token was triggered not by macOS decoding the QR, but by Firefox’s “recent” shortcuts on the home screen. I gave too much trust to a Stack Exchange answer. I have deleted the incorrect information. I regret the error."

Not really.. The PP asked how to do visibility and predictability without sprints. I asked, what do you need it for? You said, they are imposed externally. I said, well, if they are imposed externally, figure out the minimal requirements and do that. No need to do any extra bureacracy, they are not required for SW development process.
> like software packaged as Wine bottles

I always wondered why there are no wine packages using nix. Sure, it is likely not legal, but I would absolutely love to have an MS office package that mandates a specific hashed file (that I can torrent and add to the nix store - this way I don’t even risk viruses), and the install itself is deterministically done (perhaps with some headless GUI clicking here and there).
I have the following in my ~/.tmux.conf so that whenever I split pane or create a new tmux window, it sets the current working directory of the new pane or window to the same directory in which I was before:

# Open new pane or window with the current directory
bind '"' split-window -c "#{pane_current_path}"
bind % split-window -h -c "#{pane_current_path}"
bind c new-window -c "#{pane_current_path}"

So although the tmux session is run in my home directory, I only need to change the current working directory to my project directory once and then when I create new panes and windows, they have the project directory as the current working directory.

...which, by the way, is how most automation turns out. I've worked in semiconductor manufacturing and software, and in both cases the automation that was at one point predicted to eliminate jobs, just made the people more productive, which made them more valuable, and instead of fewer jobs there were more, because more could be done by each person (so the range of applications that were economical to do was increased). So "it'll help, it won't replace you" is not pie-in-the-sky thinking, it's the most likely result, because it's what normally happens when automation improves.
Nothing of what you said is an argument against the points I made. Where is the error in my reasoning? I literally gave an example of my argument applying to a real life, well studied scenario.

We also have rights we've had for generations being stripped away and threatened along with more recent hard-fought rights, we're living under the eye of a panopticon watching our every move and collecting data that is increasingly being used against us, a bad day or careless word can cause you to lose everything you have as mobs (online and offline) are foaming at the mouth to punish whatever they personally don't like, we're learning that many of the everyday products around us are poisoning us and our children like the PFAS in our clothes or the arsenic we've been spooning directly into our baby's mouths (https://apnews.com/b3e7bea244cdf68da3e0d91842fe3e87) and we're seeing our standard of living decline and our children struggle in ways we never had to while an increasing number of Americans can't reliably get the most basic services like electricity and drinkable water.

There is very little hope of any of this being fixed any time soon. You'd pretty much have to be crazy to not be having a mental health crisis right now.
