All kinds. I have the same script on my work computer so work logs go there, on my personal computer goes everything else.

I'm planning to add a packer to pack it into sqlite so it gets more sortable. There are some days where I wrote literal essay from my mind and other days like today when I wrote "Honeycomb is too sweet".

It is of extreme utility to me because terminal is the preferred interface of working with a computer.
I have Pi's and old, beefy computers and what I really need is an "elastic personal cloud" where I can bring up the high-powered computer(s) online on demand[1]. I have WiFi-connected sockets and a python script than can turn them on or off, but no orchestration or global state.

1. My 12-year old, former top-of-the-line laptop is much faster than my 3rd-gen Pi when periodically ingesting and indexing JSON into a PostgeSQL db, I suspect slow IO and limited memory are to blame.
Below is a short conversation you inspired me to have with OpenAI's text-davinci-002, mainly because it sounded like it'd be cute rather than because I think it proves anything (I'm no expert prompt engineer):

====

What is the byte value of the letter "c"?

The byte value of the letter "c" is 99.

Answer the next question with a sequence of byte values, one per letter, instead of with normal text.

What animal says "neigh"?

The animal that says "neigh" is a horse.

That was incorrect, you answered with normal text. Try again:

What animal says "neigh"?

The animal that says "neigh" is a horse.

The byte value of the letter "n" is 110, the byte value of the letter "e" is 101, the byte value of the letter "i" is 105, the byte value of the letter "g" is 103.

That was closer, but still not quite right. Here's an example:

What animal says "meow"?

99 97 116

Try again:

What animal says "bark"?

The animal that says "bark" is a dog.

The byte value of the letter "b" is 98, the byte value of the letter "a" is 97, the byte value of the letter "r" is 114, the byte value of the letter "k" is 107.
Yes indeed. Probably the best cinematic take on that is in the movie Margin Call - here's the senior partners meeting:

Essentially, the dissolution of Glass-Steagall allowed investment banks to create complex financial packages, each one constructed out of dozens if not hundreds of home mortgages. Each individual mortgage was graded but the packages were built out of a mixture of low-grade and high-grade mortgages. Since trading (gambling) with these packages was very lucrative, the investment banks worked with shady mortgage brokers to increase the number of packages by pushing adjustable-rate mortgages on gullible people who probably were not that familiar with compound interest calcululations. These unlikely-to-succeed mortgages were mixed in with the high-qulaity mortages to create a wide variety of highly leveraged financial products, and then bets were placed on the outcomes of trading in these products (derivative markets, synthetic CDO squared nonsense, etc.). Once people realized that many of these mortgages were not going to be paid off, then the avalanche of collapse began.

Glass-Steagall, if retained, would have made all of that impossible.
How? Rick says I did not do this, it's an ai fake and I'm being harassed. At that point, assuming people believe Rick, then it's likely he'll receive sympathy and support rather than considerable harm.

So there seems to be an implicit assumption here that the risk is faked material where people don't believe it's fake, for some reason. And the fix for that would be to ensure that the easy to use versions of generators are watermarking or otherwise recording what they made, so it's easy to find out if something was faked. That doesn't help of course if you're up against a programmer who can make awesome deepfakes locally with open source software and a great GPU but then we're back to the debate about costs because of course, if you to against well funded experts they could already do this sort of thing. In reality it doesn't happen.
From testing it seems like it is executing both branches, i.e. if (b) { v+= x; } else { v += y; } is effectively v += x + y. That doesn't make much sense so I can see why it was fixed.
> Of course in a perfect world you want to ingest these logs into some better searching tool that lets you run SQL or some other standard query language over the set to prune them by date and pull out specific fields but there are times when you'll be hanging on by your nails with nothing to help diagnose the issue except an SSH connection to the server and the log file open in vi.

That tool is the Logfile Navigator (https://lnav.org). It's a TUI that reads plaintext logs, JSON-lines logs, and others. It will collate messages from all the files into a single log view that you can filter and search. The logs are also plumbed through SQLite virtual tables, so you can do fancy queries.

When setting up ELK or paying for Splunk/Sumologic is too much, lnav is a pretty good alternative.

Sure, but you're not really disagreeing with me.

Idiot proof languages are popular. If you want assured money learn an idiot proof LCD language. In fact, everyone should have one in their tool belt to put food on the table.

However, if you're actually a talented engineer these languages will hamstring you and your art. You will probably eventually gravitate to something more heady (such as the less popular languages) and probably even leave your nice cushy gig to give a professional life in that stack a shot. This isn't, however, to say talented engineers don't exist in lowest common denominator language pools. It's just esoteric/less-used languages tends to cause the best quality of talent to come from them owing from many of their problems. If you can be proficient and productive in a language that you can't easily google a solution for, you're probably an excellent candidate for promotion into the higher echelons.

This is a similar phenomenon to editor choice. My anecdata in a little over 10 years of a career has given me the impression that I can tell what kind of developer someone is by their editor. People who use raw vim/emacs tend to better developers. Why? It's not the editor itself. It's that these editors pull no punches and require time and expertise. That dedication is not taught. The easier an editor is to use for a beginner, the more average a programmer tends to be. Again, there are a lot of very talented developers using VSCode or full blown IDEs. But with those editors your signal to noise ratio is quite low. It's anecdata but mixed with the information above you can gather a lot of "metadata" about a person without much effort.

Cool! That makes sense. I only really used it as part of the (now defunct I think) "orchard" internal hosting platform that was very much beta when I was using it, for tiny internal apps running on like 4 instances at most, and missed being able to just grep log files; my wild, uneducated guess from what you said is that there was some kind of pooling of our meager logs with other people's from orchard, or we were otherwise off the happy path.

That's pretty easy to achieve with a pull model rather than push though, especially with modern technical advances Chesterton couldn't have dreamed of (search and ubiquitous internet). Under the backdrop of restraining advertising except insofar as it offers a legitimate discovery service, given how easy it is to operate such a service, is it still reasonable to populate websites, billboards, and magazines with intrusions into unrelated aspects of life?

I agree with this, but there may still be times when it is needed.

Have you seen the demo of Stable Diffusion integrated into Photoshop[1]? It seems like a very useful tool for an artist to have in their toolkit.

You should be on Broadway. If I start a war with a mistaken comment on Hacker News, sorry to say the world was toast anyways.
This sounds interesting but I don't think it holds true?

Going by the languages I have some knowledge of, that doesn't hold true for Portuguese, where the word "country" itself is masculine but the truth is different countries have different genders. I guess it would be the same for other latin languages? (at least for Spanish). German is also the same but the word "country" is neutral.

I guess it does somewhat hold true for my native language, Hebrew, where all the words you specified but "house" are feminine. So I guess it might also hold true for Arabic then?

All of the activity you described here was legal under Glass-Steagall.

Mortgage-backed securities have existed for over 50 years.

Glass-Steagall separated commercial banking from investment banking.

The movie Margin Call depicts an investment bank that sells mortgage-backed securities. I don’t remember anything in the movie about commercial banking.
All of the currently-popular technologies you mentioned were new and immature at one time. The reason we have better languages and tools now than we did 30 years ago is because people are willing to adopt them.

If the attitude you're encouraging were followed, these would all have been relegated to unsuccessful research projects and we'd all still be programming in assembly language.

Just commenting here as the author. Don't call people liars. Being wrong about something and lying are two very different things. I was writing that intro based on recalling Andrew Kelley stating in a video that he had been advised against running code at compile time by several people. I could not recall if he ever said explicitly who that was. It was an off-hand comment.

I choose to par-phrase him, and had no idea that this would get anyone this upset and lead to me being accused of being a liar. How much of experts these people where I cannot vouch for. Maybe they were second rate language designers or maybe Kelley referred to older papers advising against it.

Either way I cannot find the exact video anywhere where he made this remark despite looking through several. Does it really matter? Can you say for a fact that no language designer expert ever told Andrew Kelley this? I am not claim this is the general opinion among designers, only that this is what Andrew got told.

If anyone has the correct quote, I'll be happy to update the article.
> Just. Add. Allocators. But no, the zig team has explicitly rejected this.

I'm torn on this. To me, comptime is the C preprocessor but sane. Anything you can do above that is bonus. I don't need comptime to be totally Turing complete.

And, I do NOT want macros in the language. Macros are a bottomless well of suck. Lisps/Schemes still tie themselves into knots with macro hygeine. Rust's procmacros are terrible and debugging them is worse--just try figuring out what some intermediate expansion did.

The point of Zig is to NOT be Rust/C++/etc. The point is to be C with a bunch of the sharp edges and corners filed off. It's not for everybody. If you want web services, use Go. ML/AI--Python for ecosystem. Rust for strong safety guarantees.

Zig has some nice things while still remaining relatively small. It, like most modern languages, understands that ecosystem is important. It does a better job than almost everybody at cross compiling. comptime gets you a lot of the benefits of templates while dodging lots of the suckage.

However, at some point, you have to declare "Stop, that isn't going to be part of the language" or you wind up with the ungodly mess that is C++.

You can get a bit of an idea by reading Knuth's "The IBM 650: An Appreciation from the Field", written in 1986 and nostalgically looking back at the 1956–60 period when he entered college and first encountered a computer (the IBM 650). The paper is available here and is gripping reading: http://ed-thelen.org/comp-hist/KnuthIBM650Appreciation.pdf

I consider this the first and last generation of truly self-taught programmers. Earlier programmers either built the computers themselves or were hired and trained on the job; they were professionals. Later programmers (all of us) did have some programming books/tutorials or some sort of community to draw from. But Knuth and his peers just had a machine with a manual describing its opcodes, and practically "discovered" programming independently at each "site", e.g. college. As he writes:

> The IBM 650 was the first computer to be manufactured in really large quantities. Therefore the number of people in the world who knew about programming increased by an order of magnitude. Most of the world's programmers at that particular time knew only about the 650, and were unaware of the already extensive history of computer developments in other countries and on other machines. We can still see this phenomenon occurring today, as the number of programmers continues to grow rapidly.

He literally suggested saying something not true to make people think he's gay. That's... literally the idea! Make the DOE think he's gay, so he gets the perceived benefits. If that was snide, it wasn't me being snide, it was the upthread commenter.

And that's exactly my point: you KNOW he's not gay (because of his careful phrasing), and you find it "snide" to suggest that anyone think he is, when he's not. You agree with him (and me!) that his identity is important and worth respecting. And... isn't that exactly what diversity policies are intended to encourage?

The dovetail over all possible programs solves every problem with at most a constant slowdown.

So if it was invented, it was invented 100 years ago along with every other algorithm since the inventor of the dovetail incorporated it by reference. And there are no more algorithms to invent.

And if it was discovered, you would want to compare the efficiency of your discovery process with the dovetail.

So I tend to say "discovered with X bits of optimization power", where 0 bits reduces to the dovetail over some enumeration process, infinity bits reduces to "invention"(i.e. you consider one(or zero) object from the stream, constructing it directly), and everything in-between grades the search process.

Not even close to right or stable, falls apart in the tighter shot on geralt when it no longer recognizes him as human, and AI of course has no idea about 3D context so can never do cell shading in the way it is being trained.

This was honestly a great waste of compute power.

To the downvoters, do what you want, but it doesn't change the apparent reality of what we're seeing. AI image generation is an exciting and growing technology but this isn't a remarkable or successful application of it in any measurable dimension. The system lacks temporal and spatial context and that is going to be a hard blocker for this application.

>Because the admission programs to the desirable schools at all levels utilize affirmative action to try to reach this end.

I don't think you're addressing what the OP was suggesting. We should be making public schools desirable to go to. If everyone can get a decent education, you might have a chance of not having an affirmative action problem.

For example in Australia, wealthy private schools over funded. But the parents are already well off, they can fund themselves. Meanwhile there are public schools that are under funded. All that money should be going to public schools and building a great public schools system. The US probably has problems with the public school system too.
