> It was at some point while I was thinking about adding extra countries to represent seas that it was time to call the automation quits, and just make the map manually. This has some advantages – I get to choose the overall layout, it’s much easier to include stylistic elements, and I don’t have to spend ages describing to a computer what common sense is.

Though this is casually thrown out by the author and empathetically chuckled at by most of us, I this points to a problem worth exploring. In the wake of the hype around recent AI advancements, we can often view computers and software as capable of anything. But often the limits of our current computing systems are made glaringly obvious, such as stylistic design and a "common sense" disconnect articulated here. An area worth our attention and a domain possessing potential for innovation.
Google can trivially duplicate the research and compute needed for their own version of GPT-3 if they want to. Given the size of the company, I wouldn't be surprised if several people or teams have done so without them all knowing about each other.

Google also has at least two generative models of their own that they, like OpenAI is criticised for, don't publish "just in case"; one for duplicating voices, and the LaMDA chatbot that got in the news before ChatGPT.

People will get tired of ads, but I bet someone will use a text agent to rewrite stories and scripts so heroic characters always enjoy the great taste of $beverage while saving the day, the lead romantic opportunity is $consumer_gender_preference and likes wearing $fashion_brand.
> You don't need to join college for CS education imo. There is not much benefit of a college degree unless it's from a elite/great college.

Be very careful. It's easy to get an entry-level development job when you're young and inexperienced because you're cheap.

Having hired experienced developers; what happens is that people without degrees get overlooked, no matter how good they are. The reason is that developer jobs get an unreasonably high number of applicants; so things like a college degree turn into basic filtering mechanisms.

IE, it doesn't matter how good or experienced you are, without a degree many places (including me), won't even bother reading your resume.
Ignoring the mountains of regulation the issue with doctors is that bedside manner plays a huge role in effective treatment. Patients are often hiding symptoms in order to avoid a scary diagnosis or unaware that something they've been experiencing for years is worth mentioning. There's a very human element involved in extracting the data you need and convincing people to follow treatments.
Sure, it does happen. But I think in this case the downvoted comment is obviously going off in a way unwarranted by the comment they are responding to and that tends to get you downvoted even faster than people just disagreeing with you.
It's not about preventing lies or making fraud impossible. It's about leaving a clear record of it for use cases where accountability is paramount. The current trust-based system in finance does not work and only aids scammers. Because of all the scams we have auditing and then it's found the auditing firms are fraudulent/corrupt as well. It's fraud all the way down, there is no way to change this because who audits the auditors?

What kind of argument is this "only if they are in our own solar system"?

Even at the speed of Voyager 2, (15km/s), in a billion years it would cover about 4 * 10^17 km or about 40 thousand light years. I am pretty sure people who have been developing for hundreds of millions of years can do better than that, by orders of magnitude.

Also you put a totally strange assumption that all civilisations will only restrict themselves to visiting planets. If there is a lot of civilisation it is more likely they will have different motivations.
We might be able to see their drive plumes if they use some of the theoretical high performance reactive drives we know of on big crafy. Eq. various fusion plasma drives, Orion, Nuclear Salt Water Rocket release so ludicrous ammounts of energy that they might be visible over interstellar distances, especially if pointed in our general direction when running.

Massive solar sails as well would be very very big and very reflective.

I use and enjoy Google Maps, but some of the features are baffling, like insisting on switching you to a "faster" route even after dismissing the proposal several times.

This almost got me into trouble a couple of months ago when I was driving from Odessa to Chisinau. One route goes through Transnistria which is currently controlled by the russian military.

I'm not sure if Google is aware that there is a war on currently, but I don't fancy getting shot just because California product manager guy believes he knows best.
VSCode / IntelliJ / Netbeans / Eclipse - it is crazy how much time a decent IDE with refactoring support can save. (And still many on HN hate on them. I am fairly sure that for most people that spend lots of time on vim had spent as much time as they spend to get good at vim at learning and customizing a normal, good IDE, they'd have much better return on investment.)

Git / SVN / CVS - never having to worry about if I can undo my way back to the last combination of files that worked its a superpower that we mostly take for granted, but I was over 20 when I learned it.

Maybe you're just an outlier and AI doesn't show you good ads because it doesn't have a set of good ads that meet your needs that pay a decent amount?

Unfortunately with bulk data over populations you are going to have some members that are in the long tail. Instead the operators of the system look at the efficiency of the system over larger parts of the population, even if it has the potential to lose sales for a small part of the population.
Your argument was that the union gives you more power via the collective bargaining, but that you still retain your individual bargaining power.

You don't.

If you were to come to my company and try to convince me to start a union, I'd say "thanks, but no thanks".

Just now, you are trying to convince me that I'd be retaining my individual bargaining power, if I accept to use a different definition.

Well, I was born in a Communist country, where they were fond of changing definitions. We were free to vote for whomever we wanted, as long as it was someone on the list presented to us. We had no say in who was on that list. Of course, we were free to not vote at all, right? Boys had to do mandatory military service. You know how they were called when they were conscripted? "Volunteers". That was the official name.

So, yes, I'm used to the tactic of changing definitions. But if you are serious about presenting an argument, you should no use this tactic.
Also any time I have to use Java I'm always trying to use LINQ before I remember that's a C# feature. C# is really solid, especially .NET Core 3.1 and later.
While there are things I wish it did better for the sort of stuff I use it for (foreign memory API can't arrive fast enough), Java is a pretty solid pick.

It's boring and unsurprising to a fault, which is a great selling point if you want to build something of nontrivial size and scope.

Another strength is that it has a large well rounded standard library and a large set of mature libraries you can pull in when needs must. Not quite as batteries included as python, but not far off.

The tooling is best in class, the available IDEs are great, debuggers and profilers are ridiculously powerful even at face value, and that's not going into the iceberg of weird shit you can do, like you can attach a debugger to live production process like no big deal.

There are pitfalls when it comes to frameworks. Like both Spring and Spring Boot are quagmires that tank your performance. Like whatever velocity you gain from starting off with those is lost waiting 90 seconds for the planets to align every time you want to run your unit tests.
Sophomore is an oxymoron:

That is quite fascinating to me (as a layperson and non-american). Are there any articles or is there any literature that you'd advise in that topic?

I'd be interested in something that gives more context, details and examples than the wikipedia article, but not targeted at lawyers and not excessively long.

How does that work in practice for a company like Hooters - do they spend millions on lawyers to be able to defend their position? What if you'd open a local place working in similar way to Hooters - would you go bankrupt trying to defend yourself?

Nuclear power plant. Workers would wear those uniforms while on site so that they don't track any stray radioactive particles home on their street clothes.
One thing to keep in mind is that in the Dotcom bubble, the web was brand new. On the talent side, we were still figuring everything out. Most software engineers were used to either desktop app development, or expensive enterprise server development. Most designers were print designers, with UX design having not really emerged from the early human-computer interaction days where it was still more technical than humanities.

At the same time, the web had only proven that regular people were willing to try it, but there was no meaningful consumer or advertiser money flowing through it for another ten years. So basically you had a perfect storm of a bunch of people trying to figure out something from scratch and massive over investment from VCs. When the music stopped it was a bloodbath because there was so little actual revenue.

I don't see the same thing happening now because the web is firmly embedded in our lives and someone needs to maintain all this code. I'm honestly more worried about environmental threats and the sustainability of our way of life than the economy per se.

Hmm, just tried that. Had to switch to the v1.1 API (v2 does not work with the extracted API keys, you get a `Sorry, official Twitter clients cannot use this API. Register your own.` error), but it still doesn't have access to the premium search API. You get a `Forbidden: Authentication succeeded but account is not authorized to access this resource.` error. Tried some other third-party leaked API keys as well and no luck. Standard search, even for the app keys, I'm pretty sure only gives you 7 days back (recent tweets)

The problem with Kotlin is that Java copies its features pretty quickly. So as time progresses, the benefit gap between the two languages diminishes, and eventually will not justify switching ecosystems. For example, Project Loom is the answer to coroutines. Sealed classes, etc. Up until recently, Kotlin was not a 1st class supported language for Bazel, gRPC, etc.

You can teach these lessons without engaging in an explicit discussion of "If you're going to steal, steal X and not Y". Just the intersection of "stealing is very bad unless absolutely necessary" and "some things are more important to people than other things" seems good enough to understand this.

I've never stolen anything, except for a few hearts, and was taught to never steal, and yet I can somehow piece together that it is better to steal something trivial to a person rather than the means of their survival if need be.

If I write the tests, maybe. Some tests make refactoring even harder. If I couldn't already refactor my own code we're also in pretty bad trouble. If I've written more than 10% of the tests overall, things have already gone badly.

> No, it is not, and this is why you're having a hard time understanding the purpose of this project, because you've decided that male gaze means something it doesn't, and are arguing from that perspective.

You're clearly the one having an issue interpreting the project. The project is to interpret art pieces without the male gaze. You're trying to decouple the criticism of male objectification from the art piece which is completely laughable when the About section clearly criticizes male objectifcaiton.

> Again, no. The male gaze is a specific term that refers to how women are portrayed in visual media.

> Let's also keep in mind your example of the Sex Live of College Girls is 2 years old. The art used by this project is much much older. These time periods are not comparable.

Just because you say the male gaze is a specific term, and choose to ignore any sources that disagree with your definition that I linked, doesn't make it true. And now, suddenly the time period matters to your argument about the male gaze and the art project?

You're arguing because you can't accept the fact the project is 100% critiquing the male gaze . You're clearly biased, and that's fine, but you're running in circles and playing games of semantics because you can't accept when you're clearly wrong.
I am mainly a dotnet developer but even I think that if you already have a team full of Java developers there is little to gain from switching to C#. Just the effort of learning a completely new set of libraries and frameworks would give me pause.

That's a poor example. The 14" is the true successor and that starts at $1999.

EDIT: since I can't respond - I meant the latest and greatest in that size class. Back then we had that 13" and the 15" rMBP. Now we have the 14" and 16" M1. The 13" MBP is a low cost entry w/ a legacy chassis.

I don't disagree computer costs can fluctuate, but generally where there are leaps forward in design and capability they do go up in price, perhaps not keeping inline w/ inflation though.

Boo-fukken-hoo. They were all part of the problem - the grease of the machinery if you will; something this bad doesn't go unnoticed by so many people. This was clearly an "inside job" with many, many people involved internally.

I would have no sympathy for any of them, even if they'd end up losing their own homes as a result (sweet, sweet irony that would be!)
The central limit to theorem states no such thing even if the steps vary independently.

I've been using clickhouse-local (the CLI tool, not the database) a lot recently to do data analysis work. It's simpler/better developer experience when using local files for quick data analysis compared to writing python scripts.

Selling them is a pain of its own. I would have preferred to have bought cheap and not have to worry about recuperating value.

I think people get it into their heads that they need to be a buy cheap or buy quality person entirely, and I think the most succinct point I could make is that it doesn't have to be one extreme or the other. Buy quality for the things where you know what you want and value the quality improvement, and buy cheap for the things that are new and unknown to you. You don't need a pro-quality snowboard before you decide that you like snowboarding.

Idk, I have written Java EE (and Jakarta EE) projects, and I found everything to be so much worse than e.g. Next.js + TypeScript. It feels like everything is broken in the Java web-dev ecosystem, except spring. I had plenty of struggles with the JPA, where some SQLite JDBC wasn't straight up working or MySQL8 was not supported. This was just to get the project running.

Then, JSPs have like 300 different ways and 300 different opinions on how to do stuff. Should you do routing via XML? Should you put your routes in annotations? Or do implicit navigation in the JSPs? Managing sessions is a pain too.

Setting up and deploying Java application servers in prod is way too complicated compared to Node, Deno, Python, Ruby, Whatever.

> Starting with motools and IE6, jQuery, into React + Redux

Anyway, I hope you didn't have to write pure react without any framework on top of it. I mean, the library is fine, and the React patterns mostly stay the same, but React.js is missing a lot. Personally, I wouldn't touch pure react, unless I have to write my own framework on top of it, but that hasn't been the case yet.

P.S. I also had to work on JavaFX applications in the past. I used IntelliJ too, and the tooling of JavaFX is broken to the point, where you can't even use place controls in your great FXML. Which just made me think about another thing I dislike: Java's XML fetish. I don't hate the format, but knowing what XML namespace is the correct one is often beyond me.

Writing new Java is probably fine, but older Java codebases are the often PITA. :(
