I don't understand this web. At first I thought it was about things he said he will do but he didn't. But there are some things he already did, like Teslaquila. So maybe it's just a site to share all the braggadocios that he has said in the last years?

Worth noting Haskell ended up reinventing the statement/expression distincion in the do-notation. So apparently the distinction do have value.

“Logical time” actually matters when you have side-effects. Of course we can agree code without side effects is simpler to reason about. Unfortunately you need side effects to do anything useful.
My "love" for him has decreased proportionally to the amount that I've heard him talk over the last decade, yes. The more apparent narcissistic personality disorder is, the harder it is to like them.

I was a troubled kid. Expelled from 2 kindergartens for disruptive behaviour. My parents tried Montessori, and it worked. They found out I was interested in mythology, so I apparently learned to read from the Greek myths. One of my friends was into cars, so they got him a pile of car showroom brochures and he learned to read from that.

There was a non-verbal autistic kid there, too. I played "clap-hands" with them every day, apparently the only human interaction (apart from their parents) that they had.

We moved when I was 5, and I went to a normal school after that. I don't remember much about it (all the above is stories my parents told me later). Luckily we moved to a small village where the teacher had enough time to continue giving me the personalised attention I clearly needed. Then I got shipped off to boarding school and the rest of my schooling is a dark, terrible mess of anger and violence.

It totally worked for me. I hated school, except that one.
Over zealous prosecution can make one’s life a living hell which certainly didn’t help.

Add to that a young man who might have had some depression issues (I’m not sure) and you have a heartbreaking tragedy.

From the Wikipedia:

Days before Swartz's funeral, Lawrence Lessig eulogized his friend and sometime-client in an essay, "Prosecutor as Bully." He decried the disproportionality of Swartz's prosecution and said, "The question this government needs to answer is why it was so necessary that Aaron Swartz be labeled a 'felon'. For in the 18 months of negotiations, that was what he was not willing to accept."

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Swartz

It’s heartbreaking even years on.

> "maximize healthy+happy lifespan for everyone"

Okay, so then I fund pro-life groups to protect the lives/happiness of fetuses. And the EA activist down the street funds pro-choice groups to protect the lives/happiness of mothers. And we keep escalating such donations while having little net effect.

IMHO EA has more than a hint of authoritarian (or at least anti-democratic) tendencies. What gives some rich guy the right to decide what would maximize happiness for others? Why not just leave that money with the people who are best positioned to make those decisions for themselves my minimizing wealth inequality instead?

You say "allows for immoral behaviour", but no system of ethics allows for immoral behaviour by definition.

What you're presenting are, for a consequentialist, the choices between two evils:

- do I pay taxes or give away to charities?

- do I do fraud or let evil AI go on a rampage?

- do I sacrifice my children or let the Romans kill us?

You can't argue for things that have no positive consequence: the child sacrifice sounds dumb to us because we see the alternatives as independent. If you only consider either/or choices, the number of things you can justify as a consequentialist becomes limited.

While the current state of affairs is mostly swindlers, ponzi schemes, and problemless solutions, I do believe that distributed ledger technology can and will fundamentally change many things in society that have been working “fine” for thousands of years.

“Fine” in this context meaning with extreme inefficiencies and the use of coercive force and institutional violence.

Distributed ledgers can replace institutional violence and coercion with algorithmic finality. We just aren’t ready yet, and if there is anything that people don’t like to do it is to give up their power to inflict violence on others.

Evolutionary monetary policy can potentially create deeply democratic societies while discarding much of the overhead normally associated with political office, enforcement, revenue collection, and more.

Unfortunate, that’s not really visible in the crypto sphere right now, because the projects working on this are not spending millions on PR trying to get rich.

To me, FTX is a classic Ponzi scheme according to the most uncontroversial definitions of "Ponzi scheme".

It took me longer than it should have to realize this is a joke. It is a joke, right?
I agree completely, but since the article is about writing JS in a pure FP manner, I was addressing that and not anything else.
can you give an example of nuance he left out? (I'm not reading every mail that comes in, and sometimes find his writing too verbose, but not really due to details, just to repeat/reiterate things, and mostly in the same - not too illustrative - way)
Little sleight of hand here. I'd arguably agree that things listed in other comments like weight lifting and functional programming and punk culture all share traits with religion, but "religion" isn't what was bad about the original comparison. Charity itself originally came from religion. The comparison was to Scientology, which on balance has all the possible bad traits of a religion and none of the good ones. What you're describing might describe most religions, but not Scientology. You can't practice Scientology at all without bringing in the extreme bullshit elements.
Well, one hidden implication behind your comment could be that women who work sensitive jobs shouldn't reveal their face or their profession online, or else they deserve to be unmasked. When framed that way, maybe you can see why I disagree.

I'm reminded of _why the lucky stiff, who was a legendary ruby programmer from 2004ish. As far as I know, he didn't do sex work, but he showed his face at conferences all the time. He was a very private fellow - he would ask people to drop him off at a cafe or a park after outings. When some of his stalkers attempted to unmask him, he left the ruby community (I think for that and other reasons).
In your example, how did you install python 3.10 and 3.11? That's part of what pyenv solves for you.

and the thing is, the alt-tab is not even really a native idea for macs - Exposé is the way to switch windows (which, for me is the 4 finger swipe up on the touch pad - but some people can choose to use hot corner on the screen, or the dedicated hardware button).
Probably. Also make sure the proper configuration are set in VMWare, more specifically, the Virtualize AMD-V/RVI option. If it gives you an error when enabling that, MS Hyper-V is most likely the culprit.
Just wait until your very expensive laptop no longer receives OS updates.

Not because it cant run them, but because apple doesn't want you using that machine anymore.

Legacy opencore patcher is proof that these machines can run the OS but the installer blocks it.

For frame of reference, I moved from using linux exclusively to MacOS around 2 years ago. I'd avoid buying real mac hardware over this because it is expensive planned obsolescence. I have a laptop running Ubuntu which is like 8 years old and still runs the most recent version just fine. How long will your mac continue to receive updates?

PS - Question for you. Why are there so many threads on the net on how to install linux on a macbook?
Yup. It's how you get admitted to the hospital at 30 thinking you're having a heart attack.

For someone who actually works in the field, let me inform you that you've been had by the marketing folks. Deepmind's Gato is as close to AGI as connecting a line of cars with chains and calling it a train. Gato is glorified if else statement over multiple models, and not really "general" at all.
Sure but how many of these locations are there? You don't just need a hill, you need large amounts of water available. Not to mention the construction is definitely not cheap or fast.

I mean there is a shit ton of land available in say Spain for solar+hydro plants. No matter the lower efficiency, you could build enough to power Europe.
I hate the Mac*, but even so, nothing on that list of complaints is valid.

Here's an example of what I consider a valid complaint: the placement of a Mac's app menubar at the top of the screen, instead of the top of an application window, is wrong. Two pieces of evidence: (1) it leads to confusion with multiple monitors and (2) new Mac users invariably have trouble remembering to look for app-specific choices at the top of the screen. Mac-users rebut this by claiming that Apple's design adheres better to Fitt's law, but time has proven the disadvantages outweigh that. If one chooses a window metaphor for an app, the app's controls should appear in close proximity to that window.

In contrast, the list items here are mostly just wrong ("Lack of native clipboard") or superficial ("Can't create new file from Finder context menu").

*though imo Mac OS was lovable as recently as a decade ago.
Does this mean it's illegal to have an Alexa in your cubicle?
Yes, this makes sense mostly.

Git is conceptually very sane and logical. But the UX is indeed (still) terrible.

But a lot of people seem to complain about the complexity of the underlying concepts. That makes no sense to me as the concepts are complex because the problem at hand is complex. Also it makes no sense to me that people are constantly crying for a new tool even they have obviously issues with understanding the problem space and all requirements. A new tool would not make all this complexity go away! It could at most try to "hide" some of the complexity by introducing magic. This wouldn't be helpful at all as magic is way worse than bad UX, imho. Bad UX is bad UX you can deal with it. But when magic goes wrong all bets are off and you're usually in deep trouble.

This looks like people would argue to rewrite the back-end (some propose form scratch!) even only the front-end needs some face lift…
"Reply-all" suggests that the same mail went to a set of recipients, but doesn't the watermarking strategy require each recipient to have their own unique copy?
I'm a little skeptical given the massive disruption that EVs represent to the entire... well... oil is practically the basis for the entire world order. It's like the spice in Dune. Multiple powerful and large nations have economies with double-digit dependencies on oil and the use of the dollar for most oil trading is the single largest factor underpinning the US dollar's global reserve currency status.

I'm also a little skeptical because we own two and have had zero problems, but of course small sample sizes and all that. (2013 Nissan Leaf and 2022 Nissan Leaf though, and Nissan tends to build indestructible tanks. I've owned ICE Nissans too. Had one survive a front wheel collision with a curb at 50mph with <$1000 in damage.)

That being said I wouldn't be terribly surprised to learn that an entirely new drive train technology has teething issues. It's a pretty major departure from ICE drive trains. Manufacturing a complex item like a car at scale is extremely challenging.

It also looks like Tesla's famous build quality issues are sinking the category to some extent. Tesla's drive train seems solid but the rest of the car... it's like the most technologically advanced drive train platform with a 1990s Kia on top.
The IVC is a vast civilization that at its peak was much larger in area & population than Egyptian, Mesopotamian. Mohenjodaro - modern day Pakistan - is one of the major sites, but there are plenty others: Lothal, Dholavira etc. The Mergarh civilization was even more ancient than IVC.

This is one of the greatest mysteries in human history. Cracking the IVC "script", historian aren't even sure it's a script, would be key to solving this puzzle.

> For the first time my anger over crypto moves into genuine concern. Is an entire generation of young people experiencing a kind of "pokemonisation" of crypto well into early adulthood? In other words, is a generation of 20-somethings wasting the better part of that decade on this tech, in these scams?

I'm a middle aged developer who spent pandemic time in "web3" (ugh) dev discords and stuff.

There are scammers, sure, but mostly there are a lot of young people who are learning tech in an environment that feels fun and rebellious and honestly a little like the old internet in a way. There is a lot more happening than just people building magic ponzi boxes. It's hard to feel anything but positive about seeing people excited about learning JS or OCaml or Python or Processing.

That said, truly don't understand "web3" and this obsession with things being on a blockchain. It feels like people don't know their Internet history and also I don't understand why DWeb/indie web and web3/blockchain people are fighting since I think they'd be stronger together.

Of course not.

The people who are donating to AI risk are those who have spent a lot of time thinking about it, reading about it and investigating it.

If someone spent a bunch of time reading about GMO risk and decided it was a serious concern and that Greenpeace was the solution then I'd think them perfectly reasonable to donate to Greenpeace. And if I knew them to be intelligent and reasonable people I might even be willing to give then some time to convince me that I should also donate to Green peace
I have to agree with you as far as pure functional programming goes. I also don't like the Haskell approach of of overgeneralizing concepts just because you can; it's the FP equivalent of stuffing every design pattern you can into your OO code. I'd argue that not every pure functional programming language has to be like that but I'm pretty sure all the ones that exist are.
Sure. But do you see a lot of lawyers uploading their agreement templates on github? Value (or actually price) is a function of supply and demand, and when there’s almost infinite supply at a zero price point value/price goes to zero. That’s what has happened.

"immutable" is kind of overloaded term, but what it means in this context is an object itself doesn't mutate when you want to change a value (basically value semantics[0] instead of reference semantics[1])

for example (pseudocode)

var newUser = Person(name: "some guy", age: 0)

// newUser is replaced with a new object that is
// initialized with field.name and previous age (0)
// the old object is discarded
newUser.name = field.name

// object is passed as copy-on-write, assuming a 1 sec delay
// it will print the objects values at this point in time
// (age: 0) even if altered later
async(after:1) { print(newUser.age) } // prints 0

// age was changed to 32 a nanosecond later,
// but now a new object again is initialized
// instead of mutated
newUser.age = 32
print(newUser.age) // prints 32

----------
output:
32
0

Hi, I was building a productivity app with some twists for myself and thought to share it with people of HN too if anyone might find it useful.

2) Track your progress and goals with milestones instead of daily tasks completed because I feel in the end we all have a goal to work towards.
