Imagine you are a history or philosophy teacher in 2100.

How cool it is to discuss these kind of issues? What do you think about the "erasing open source community" argument from the historical perspective? What does it have in common with industrial revolution?

Even though the real life implications are real, I find it fascinating and not so simple to unravel.
Yeah you have to be patient to figure out which of the 36 tracks are involved! Needles in a haystack...
It can come with exposure of hidden costs. So a pc which can only be assured to be correct by reboot cannot continuously monitor a flow process which cannot be interrupted for that reboot window. It has to be designed to work with two, or some kind of data buffering has to be designed in, or the specification changed to redefine to continuous(*)

Which btw is what should be done but.. it can cause rage

It sure seems like a waste of money to replace something as simple as a "fix it" ticket.

I think it will be part of a future solution. But building new right now isn't cheap and will just take to long. In addition the old reactors are pretty expensive. I'm looking forward to see how new reactor designs and modular solutions will fare in the next few years.

>And if this is the case, is there any reason to expect Stability to stay on the forefront of AI research? Or are they just going to open source models in the wake of actual research done by other organizations?

Even if this was the case, turns out this is more valuable than just holding the model close to your chest and not letting people use it, build off it.
The log yer time jobs are definitely the worst. It is no longer engineering or team work but “how can I log as little time on this and move it along”. Whenever I refactored or took time to do something properly I would regret it because I get taken to task for the time it took. So fuck that. Will never enter a time

Totally agree that version 2 is really painful, and more painful the more we cut corners on version 1.

But I've seen sooo many startups ship version 1 and sink without trace. I'd say the vast majority of startups don't ever need to worry about version 2 because version 1 isn't going to get any traction.

The thing about YAGNI isn't technical - it's commercial. Ship version 1 as cheaply and quickly as possible so you understand whether there's any point in continuing.
They would definitely notice such a bug. This would at least double or triple the amount of data they use. This is not something you can do by mistake.
I've been on-board with the tech since oculus was still presenting a prototype with masking tape all over it. There's still a few experiences that will set me off, but it's not like there's no precedent for flushing this out of the ecosystem, Meta publishes and enforces a long list of detailed software guidelines, all of which are a requirement for being published.

The worst is when you're facelocked into motion, linear path interpolation into a hard stop without any other cues, that's never pleasant.

I suspect height dislocations could be odd for some people, and certainly disregarding scale.

These are all forms of lack of detail in environments.

Trying to manage the "guardian" is likely another source of complication, once you ram your hand into a doorknob, suddenly you have to manage two worlds, a complicated spinning mess, and a real world that can hurt you, that's disorienting. I would say their model of sensitivity needs to know how you're playing the game.

I've driven HL2's "Water Hazard" in full, played VR zero-G 6DOF disc soccer, been dropped down an elevator shaft, none of that batted an eyebrow -- even standing up. (well more than the sickness one would deal with sprinting to end a zombie apocalypse, fun sick)

It's a real shame, because we have a cultural problem of glorified
ignorance. In a sense I feel sorry for these lads, because they are
tinkerers, hackers of a kind like us, but with grossly curtailed
opportunities for expression and exploration. When I was a kid,
modding bikes and engines was everyday fun.

Wouldn't they potentially be great engineers with the right guidance
and education? But today they all follow the same dumb formula, sawing
of the exhaust pipe and catalytic convertor, mis-tuning the engine,
jacking down the suspension, doing a really shit paint job... The
culture beneath that is basically anti-social, not individualistic.

Sadly one has to wonder whether the days of 2-stroke scooters are also
numbered in the UK. There are still lots of middle-aged Mods, you can
find them by the hundreds at summer seaside town scooter rallies. But
turning the air blue with the stench of two-stroke oil particulates
seems less and less acceptable each year. Maybe I am growing long in
the tooth.

Now, don't get me started on inappropriate use of emergency vehicle
sirens, which is the REAL noise pollution issue in Britain today.
My life got infinitely easier once I learnt the financial world all use integers in cents to do their money calculations.
I think that's the point. People are starting to care about this a lot more, so are pressing for enforcement. I believe it's a combination of the problem getting worse, studies coming out showing how many health problems are caused by noise, and the Dutch example that we really can have quiet cities.

A few months ago, I posted that here that governments around the world should not interfere with the chip industry just because of the covid-induced shortages. The reason is that supply and demand will naturally sort things out and that any government handout to chip companies to increase capacity will be wasted because chip demand will swing the other way.

The chip industry is now swinging the other way.

I’m surprised I haven’t seen this further up. I suppose it might be because it’s less perceived as software but, there were definitely protests against Uber.

Not only was Uber protested against, in some places successfully, but there were pro Uber protests as well.

Also as a somewhat funny anecdote, it wasn’t a protest as you describe, with people on the street but my aunt told me how a few years back there was an upgrade for the OS at the place she worked at. We’re talking completely non technical boomers having to switch from Windows 98 to Windows 7 or something like that. They were pissed! They were arguing with the boss about it, complaining non stop, saying how they don’t understand anything anymore and pretty much did an informal go slow for a few months.
These days, skill is not about how you use tools in IT, but simply knowing that a tool exists.
It very much is.

> CT or no CT, you won't catch CAs MITMing you until it's too late, and even with CT you depend utterly on the sites you visit actually auditing CT.

You won't catch a malicious nameserver operator, if they wish to MITM a specific victim, ever. There's no monitoring at all. While utterly depending on the fact they even enforce DNSSEC.

What's worse is that DNSSEC keys tend to live very long, if those are compromised, it will probably be abusable for years.

> a) perform the same lookups in different networks, b) you can download, cache, and check . and TLDs so you can catch those lying (which is 99% of the battle).

But if you're not the victim, it's unlikely you'll ever notice as a site operator. CT in that sense is different and much better as you can't rely on end-users reporting these things.

DNSSEC right now is a much much worse PKI than WebPKI is.

I don't know why we should be concerned with the status quo of copy-write law at all with respect to AI. ML is categorically new in how it applies to these domains, and it's not clear to me at all that rules that apply to humans have much to do at all with rules which should apply to machines.

Imo it is very simple: IP law is intended to incentivize creative work, so that it remains possible to profit from one's creation in an environment where it might be easier to copy than it is to create. We just need to figure out what outcome we want to create: one which incentivizes human creations, or AI "creations" - and build a legal framework to support it.
Yes, we do. And, a proper TCO for all forms of energy would result in us only building solar, wind and pumped storage, however.
I hope I shall never be forced to call a Microsoft product a person. I find your entire implied world view to be a cheap parody of the rights living beings inherently should have.

If we get to the point that capitalist maximalist-utilitarianism insists upon hijacking the very concept of what a living organism is, I can only compare it to a teddy bear vs an actual bear.

Respect the life you are only one instance of, for hubris has always brought suffering and pain in its wake.
You write software without looking at the screen? I doubt it.

GUIs have no other purpose than providing ways to interact with the software and communicating those controls via our eyes. Buttons are spread across the window because that turns out to be very efficient at both showing users what common features are available, and giving them a way to quickly use those features without having to dig through menus.
It is pithy to say so.

Which change? Any change? Any way, any how?

This is one of those phenomena where everything is so clear afterwards. In real time conserving potential is the strategy for longevity and endurance.

Most change are circumstantial, adaptations to the relativistic nature of the subjective instance.

Worth while change is one which is self sustaining, where the cost of change is calculably long term efficient, as any change has overhead.

As a “software guy” I can’t tell you how often the new guy spouts off about the latest trend in development (as I’m sure I had once), where in reality it is better to wait for mature versions, developed community support, and established continuity in a niche before considering the investment of adaptation.

Censorship leads to truth counsels, which leads to corruption.

Oh I do believe you are right, I just don’t think this is a thing just anyone can learn: many ‘outsourcing’ programmers/coders don’t really understand what they are working on; they just finish tasks. I have no stats, but in companies I worked/work with, it is the vast majority. They don’t know or care about the business goals, they just perform tasks and then go home. This is almost already replaceable by copilot.

Like I said; it is a great thing for me but I don’t believe developers without talent and/or rigorous foundations will make it. Go on Upwork and try to find someone who can do more than the same work (mostly copy paste) that they always did. In an interview when you ask someone to use map/reduce to create a map/dict, they will glaze over. This is the norm, not the exception, no matter the pay. Some of them have 10 years experience but cannot do anything else than make crud pages. This will end as copilot makes lovely .reduce and linq art from a human language prompt.

I'm not sure that makes your prediction correct, you need to give a timeframe too. Without a timeframe, it's just waiting until you are right.
> It is not my our job to micro manage their dev resources.

But my job does include heavy use of their tools. And I have dozens of bugs filed on the Jetbrains IDEs - some minor but some major. So in fact their allocation of dev resources does affect my ability to do my job, even if I'm not in charge of allocating their resources.
I think we’ve clamped down on the little people enough. There’s clearly a growing gap in freedom of expression between developing countries and us.

The current slump seems purely caused by a demand drop. It will take years to see the capacity increase because of those government investments. By then, we will hopefully be out of this recession.

I went from an iPhone 12 mini to S22 Ultra. The battery difference is obviously huge but from my experience iPhones seems to deteriate very fast. They are fine the first year but after that it never even completes a complete day without a charge.

I haven't had the same issues with android brands like Samsung even if of course the battery gets worse over time, it is nothing like iPhone.
I have a decent experience in all sorts of debuggers (from softice to gdb to ide) and prefer log() where possible. The reasons are: less-ing a log is superior to stepping into. Step-based debugging doesn’t work in production or retrospectively. That’s it.
> 'loud pipes save lives' - as in, if your exhaust is loud, people can hear you coming and you're less likely to get flattened by an oblivious driver.

That's an interesting perspective, and not without merit. I've never been a biker, but I used to drive a customised classic vehicle (1958 Morris 1000 van) with atrocious rear visibility. Even in cold/wet weather, I'd keep my side widow rolled down just so that I could hear motorbikes, which the huge blindspots rendered invisible.

Gambling Tax: Target Problem Games Not Problem Gamblers
Whether or not there's a net social benefit to motorcycles being on the road is a question that could be debated (extra fun for bikers, less space and fuel taken per person travelling, versus extra mortality and costs from crashes) but it seems like you'd want to ban them simply because you think that motorbikes are fundamentally loud.

As I mentioned above, motorcycles don't need to be loud. They're loud because people modify them to be so. Depending on where you are, there may already be laws about how loud they can legally be.

I frequently wish more programs would implement a UI as flexible as the one in Firefox, where you can just drag buttons around, add extra large dedicated buttons for zoom, remove buttons you don't need etc.

Even more flexibility would be cool as well in more specialized software, but I think FF does enough while not overwhelming the user with possibilities.

> I disagree. Bash basically cannot be used correctly. It's like gets() in C; a knife with a blade but no handle. Unsafe at any speed.

> C++ can be used correctly. It's easier since C++11, with smart pointers and stuff. I'm not going to argue that writing solid C++ is easy, but it IS possible.

It seems this conflates two different aspects of programming languages - complexity and (memory) safety.

The analogy with Bash was in relation to the language complexity. By reducing the language features to a restricted, well-known (by the given team) scope, it's possible to use the language effectively. A very good example of this is the Doom 3 source code.

In relation to memory safety, Google hasn't been able to develop a safe enough Bluetooth stack, which has been a dumpster fire. Due to the small support windows of Android, as of today, a huge amount of devices with older Android versions are either in the garbage, or are extremely unsafe. If Google, with their engineering practices, can't develop a safe Bluetooth stack in an unsafe language, realistically, nobody can.

> https://blog.habets.se/2021/06/The-uselessness-of-bash.html

The topic in the post is very interesting (pipes error handling are no doubt a rough area of Bash), but the post takes the choice of being a rant rather than an informative research. The central thesis that "functionality of language X is broken in a 1-line program, but it works in a 83-lines program in language Y" doesn't have any meaningful conclusions. It would have been interesting and informative to compare against the correct version in language X, which in the case of Bash, it does exist (but in this case, it's advanced Bash, and sure, it's ugly).

There is a very wide gap been 1-, 10-, 100- and 1000- line programs, and very different requirements. Asserting that only the 1-line case is the only valid use case for shell scripting, it's inefficient system administration (assuming disciplined shell scripting).
Basically no one uses FreeBSD? Last time I checked, companies like Netflix, Sony, Yandex and more uses FreeBSD for most of their services, not sure I'd put those in the bracket of "no one".

Also, Hacker News runs FreeBSD, for what it's worth :)

If Copilot provided a “small and practically unnoticeable” attribution to the code used, it would definitely improve the situation, especially for licenses like MIT that require attribution and nothing else.
