I don't understand this kind of inferiority complex. In software engineering we can often afford to wing it in a way that other kinds of engineering can't because they are strongly locked into what they've built already and because human life is at play. You can't really redo the foundation of a pre-existing building without a truly heroic amount of work, and you can't reboot a person if their pacemaker fails. When presented with those same conditions, software engineering tends to be just as rigorous as any other kind of engineering, e.g. NASA, medical software, and so on. I'd argue that is what defines engineering: you optimize for the things that matter and don't get carried away trying to pursue the most elegant or robust system at all costs – that would be science or art. Your competitor who is not cutting corners won't beat you with their 99.9% product, they will just never get off the ground. Meanwhile, you're at 99.5% and climbing.
A true AI will not have one opinion. It will realize there are many truths - one persons truth is really a perspective based on their inputs which are different than another's. Change the inputs and you’ll often get a different output.

ChatGPT further proves this notion - you can ask it to prove/disprove the same point and it will do so quite convincingly both times.

What I fear the most is that we‘ll keep at this “fake it till you make it” approach and skip the philosophical questions, such as what conscience really is.

We’re are probably at the verge of having a bot that reports as conscious and convinces everyone that it is so. We’ll then never know how it got there, if really did or if just pretends so well that it doesn’t matter, etc.

If feels like it’s out last chance as a culture of tackling that question. When you can pragmatically achieve something, the “how” loses a bit of its appeal. We may not completely understand fluid dynamics, but if it flys, it flys.
According to the article, the stupid thing was developing a new language just because you built a new computer. But the efforts in developing this new language (CPL) are what lead to C.
It's not connected to the internet (outside of being prompted), and the training data was from 2021 and before, so no it can't. ChatGPT will even tell you so, unless you fool it into hallucinating a fake answer. It would be simple to ask a human the result of recent sports score like a World Cup match.
That you still don't accept that this is exactly the argument you're making is unbelievable.

It shows just how people who see themselves as smart and scientific leaning can still fall to the same fallacies as any fool.

> The simplest way to understand if society wants something is if it will pay for it.

That’s society’s preferences weighted by how good each person is at making money, but it doesn’t represent society as a whole. If a person is disabled or uneducated and can’t hold a job, that person should still get an equal say in society’s preferences even though they have no money with which to express their preferences.

"AI" is a different thing ;) No need to be skeptical, no more than of sorting. "AI" just means "a solver". "Computer" was a profession before the automation.

(In fact, one could argue that chatGPT does not exactly look like AI, because in a way it does not look like a solver. It may seem to diverge, not to approximate.)

not sure what exactly you mean with applets and especially advanced window management

IceWM is far more advanced/usable than Windows 98 wrt window management (and better than modern Windows, since things like the TaskBar have regressed heavily).
My gut feeling is that we're still nowhere near that point. GPT is based on it's incredibly large and diverse model based on a huge corpus of human writing. Anything it creates will always be derived from what humans have already done. It can't easily react to new information nor can it make inferences beyond what it's told. I could be wrong but as impressive as the tech is, it will never be able to make deductions or inferences.

Anybody who followed the evolution of GPL knows changes in technology absolutely affected the legal setup around such technology (and viceversa). Neither side operates into a vacuum.

Note I'm not completely contrary to a legal intervention in the matter (the EULA concept must die); just that it makes more sense to put in law that companies must not take the piss, not that they can take the piss as long as they follow the letter of some standard form. Then they can absolutely follow with standard guidelines that are somewhat advisory, as a way to speed up enforcement; but it's important that the law establishes overall principles, so that it's more future-proof.

SBF recently said that both the FTX & Alameda/FTX Trading accounts were the same. People who signed up for just storage were exposed to the same risks as the trading degenerates. When everything collapsed, the trading degenerates could withdraw using the very same money that regular FTX users had put money in.

It's fraud, from the beginning.

Where I live now, Hong Kong, even oral contracts have value, if it's written you re gonna give your kidney, you better book a surgeon. We cant regret a contract even the first week (they tried to pass a bill on that, it was rejected because inconvenient for companies...).

Surprisingly though, it makes for much more careful people, who care for, and respect, contracts. In France, you dont even have to pay rent, in HK, it's a kick in the ass and your stuff thrown aways a day after the missed deadline.

People also started using weird vertical-gripped "ergonomic" knives[0] during that time. They were absolutely horrible to use.

Depending on your definition of “using”, you may not actually be able to, at least for now. If CPPReference's table[1] to be believed, there are still important features that are either missing from GCC and Clang or implemented “partially”, which may mean different things for different features and compilers.

In my personal opinion, unless you're doing the project just for fun, it seems better to stick to C11/C17, at least for the next few years.

I'm actually less interested in how much RAM the desktop uses in normal usage, and more interested in how gracefully it handles curveballs. For instance, some time ago I accidentally pointed a file manager at a directory containing a massive JPEG image (I think it was a photo of decapped chip, or something of that nature). The file manager immediately decided to generate a thumbnail, ate all the physical RAM, and triggered a swapstorm that made it next to impossible to find and kill the offending process. It took best part of five minutes to regain control of the computer.

>it fundamentally lacks an internal point of view that it can express, which places limits on how well it can argue something.

Are you sure that the latter follows from the former? Seems to me that something free from attachment to a specific viewpoint or outcome is going to be a better logician than otherwise. This statement seems complacently hubristic to me.

Unfortunately, the post mostly covers the lack of monotonicity in UUID <= 5 and only acknowledges at its end and only briefly that both UUID and GUID actually have versions that solve for exactly that. Leaving us with the post’s other, unexplored, complaint that UUIDs and GUIDs are "huge" and "take up a lot of space".
Any good writing out there on considerations vis-a-vis PK column size in current RDBMs or monotonic UUID versions 6-8 as PKs?
The answer may well be 'consciousness is the ability to fake having consciousness well enough that another conscious being can't tell the difference' (which is the essence of the Turing test). Because if you're looking for a mechanism of consciousness you'd be hard put to pinpoint it in the 8 billion or so brains at your disposal for that purpose, no matter how many of them you open up. They'll all look like so much grisly matter from a biological point of view and like a very large neural net from a computational one. But you can't say 'this is where it is located and that is how it works'. Only some vague approximations.

> global sales of thumb drives from all manufacturers surpassed $7 billion, a number that is expected to rise to more than $10 billion by 2028.

More than 20 years later, they are indeed dirty cheap. However, I often find them to be unreliable with slow/unsteady real speeds.

Meanwhile, small NVMe-based devices in either this thumb-format or SD-format (5 years in the making [1]) are still not very popular, so the prices are high. Or is it the other way around?

The biggest deal for these taking off was that they just worked on Windows without any special drivers or messing around. It made them appear magic.

People lost their minds over how much easier and better they were than all the other stuff - burning CD's, floppy drives, zip disks, LS120 etc. You couldn't email large files and WeTransfer didn't exist. We couldn't get them in fast enough for the users where I worked at the time.
I won't defend the mess of current rules. But let's not pretend here either: the reason agriculture has to be run more centrally is because farmers are actually amazingly bad at farming. There are entire offices filled with people who's job is to try and convince farmers to do things that work. From new crops to new technology to when to plant to climate change, farmers just refuse to budge. One of the longest UK radio programs is dedicated to getting farmers to farm better. We have a special program that pays farmers to retire, because it's cheaper than dealing with how bad they are at their jobs (imagine that in any other sector...).

That's the issue here.

We could solve it the way you say, but then we'd need an actual market, and when supplies ran low to import and to accept many farmers going bankrupt and their land being sold off to farmers who do do it right. That's been politically verboten for at least 50 years.
Standard ML is more influential because it's the foundational statically typed functional language. But Haskell has gained more popularity with the general programming public, not just academics.

> as Carvana was able to undercut its brick-and-mortar competition with vehicle prices.

that I’m not sure how to make sense of it.

Right before Covid I was shopping for a used car, and I remember their prices being outrageously higher than dealerships. I’m talking saving a few thousands dollars just by taking the dealer’s initial price without negotiating.

Similar scenario just a couple of months ago, I was looking to sell and again reading how well they pay I got a quote… and it was less than half of the first number a dealer threw out (this was a really old and cheap car tbf, I don’t expect it to be that bad for more expensive ones).

Either way, I always wondered how they possibly stayed in business, since it seemed weird that so many people would pay so much for the privilege of being ripped off a lot by some far away corporation, instead of having a person in front of you ripping you off a little.

I deeply hate the dealership experience, but the bad feeling/buyer’s remorse wears off in a couple of days and I’d rather enjoy the extra money in my pocket.

It’s very illuminating to me seeing the comments in this thread shedding some light into what people liked about Carvana and how they were being too generous with returns and losing money at scale. That makes some sense at least. But whenever articles talk about their good prices, it feels like a buried ad.

As the philosopher Jägger once said

You can't always get what you want

It's a fundamental principle of any community that ever existed, apparently in some parts of the richest World people are incapable of understanding that me is much less important than everyone.

Imagine a World where I say "I don't want to have an ID with my picture on it" but I also want to travel around the World freely, because I don't like explaining myself to random strangers in uniforms.

There are easy solutions to what you are looking for, Theodore Kaczynski is a notorious and virtuose example on how to pull it off, but none of them involve large amounts of cash spent in a single transaction, which is fishy per se because it requires two or more parties agreeing to do something that has virtually no advantage, except the most common: hiding something. I would like to understand what that something is, because the most obvious conclusion is "something shady". We all agree on that, let's be real.

I understand if protesters in HK buy tickets for the subway in cash to not get tracked by the Chinese government. Chinese are famously a little bit repressive.

I don't understand why someone in the US, living in the best and freest country in the World, the greatest democracy ever, the place where dreams come true, a Country where, unlike China, they give protesters a price in the form of a few days in jail, would like to spend large amounts of cash instead of using more modern systems to hide from their government and the IRS, two of the things that define "the most civilized place on the Planet", according to its citizens.

Something's doesn't add up here.

If it wasn't about the US, that we all know is heaven on Earth, one might be inclined to think that it's the reaction of a cynical, narcissistic, money driven, trigger-easy population to a government that has only one way to make people behave like they live in a single united Country and belong in a modern society, not tribes: violence and tyranny.

But that's obviously false for the US.

You know, as European, the many flaws of Europe are an advantage.

Even if the government wanted to track me and all my expenses, they are so incompetent that I'll probably be dead before they realize that I bough a new electric bike with my CC. I live dangerously, I know.
That's not correct. With a VirtIO ballooning device [0], you can create faux memory allocations on the VMs and reclaim that allocated memory space back to host. This will increase the memory pressure on the guest, but will provide extra memory to the host.

Yes, that. Not sure how the market for FF would work since that's not impacted by OMO, but I'm sure there'd be a way to just 'leave it to the market'.
Dostoyevsky is a good example of that - he was caught taking part in (relatively innocent) freethink anti-carist meetings and got sent for 8 years to a severe Siberian labor camp for it. While staying there, he gradually converted to being pro-carist and pro-regime, a stance that was not just a fake to potentially get him out of there sooner.
This is just random comments on the internet so take with large pinch of salt

Your site seems to provide a interesting set of views and importantly a evidence / research based set of views. I can imagine there being 50 questions (which DE uses most memory in VM, which config settings can minimise windows footprint) - essentially best practise settings for mid sized installations.

Monetising that might be tricky, but building an audience of people who have that problem set is building an audience of people with problems and money.
