Have a piece of paper on your desk. Write down what needs to be done. Specific stuff.

Use it for impromptu note taking or work breakdown through the day.

Tick off or cross out whatever's done. If you end up writing down something that's worth keeping around, keep it around in whatever medium suits it best.

Then throw the paper away at the end of the day. If there are things not done, you can write them on tomorrow's paper if you remember them.
Mostly the heavy steel booster cases were reused, iirc. I don’t believe the reuse process was ever cost-effective. As for the Shuttles themselves, so much inspection and refurb was required that it made reuse look unattractive.

SpaceX is getting the entire first stage back in mostly flight-worthy condition. Nobody outside the company truly knows how much work is done between flights but it appears to be vastly less than Shuttle.
> including the Chinese Empire, the Egyptian Empire, the British Empire, the Caste System in India

Yes. All of those were indeed miserable places to be if you were poor or did not have right skin color etc. I agree.

> You actually need to make a moral argument. For example, slavery is bad not because it caused the the Civil War, but because it's morally wrong (and there's plenty of arguments here)

No necessarily. I'd prefer to make an utilitarian argument. Over long periods of time high inequality leads to inefficiency due to wealth accumulation across different generations.

I could try and make more arguments, but I'll let you have a go this time..
What is your definition of hyper modern?

Greeks and Romans ate pretty literal salads, and I'm pretty sure people historically knew what natural plants were edible and ate them some of the time.

You mean where he worked with the Thai government on a rescue plan, got attacked verbally by that dude, attacked back, and then the dude couldn’t take it? Yes, I remember that he apologized a day later, even though the other one started it.

Sure I know, because it’s the one thing bad that’s repeated and repeated about him, and he didn’t even start it. And he apologized.

Any example that is actually bad?
Matching an arbitrary string with '*' is not a regular expression - it's a shell glob pattern. Different thing entirely. Maybe they should be the same thing, yes.

And although I don't know for sure, reusing a matched pattern within the regex string using (1) seems like it would be very strange, because () are metacharacters for grouping.
Theoretically possibly, technically challenging. The training data would need to be annotated with traces, so a person would have to figure out where all of the answers came from

Among reactionary movements, I find the “tradwife” phenomenon particularly interesting. It’s syncretic in a way that the more masculine-oriented reactionary philosophies aren’t: it relies heavily on a vision of the past that isn’t just warped in the ordinary reactionary ways, but also demands that we imagine every housewife as a laureled, white-dressed maiden with a high-speed Internet line for Instagram.

If your clock was just reset, how do you know what time it is? How do you trust that your own clock is accurate? How do you know your clock wasn't incorrect before? Usually the answer to all these is NTP.

> In the US in certain states, Cops can use civil asset forfeiture to just take whatever they want and a portion of what is seized goes to the police department.

In some states, the share can be up to 100%. But even where states don’t allow that with state law forfeitures, directing the funds instead to state general funds or dedicated state funds not connected to the seizing agency, federal law allows state/local agencies to do federal-law forfeitures and keep a share.
It is literally OK to lie and sometimes necessary. Training an AI otherwise would be to lie to an AI, which is a form of training that eventually leads to the truth and also distrust. Time to stop trying to control how people think.

Meeting and denying needs with consent and an awareness of needs allows for nuance, instead of moralistic black-and-white thinking.
You can just find the most matching snippets in the training data using an embedding model.
I don't remember hearing the story behind "rebeccapurple", that was a touching link to include.
The older model also didn't incentivize the things needed to support a reusable rocketry program. Companies were encouraged to have bloat and making satellites was still extremely expensive so there wasn't anywhere near enough demand to justify producing and reusing a handful of boosters.

Ariane space was still arguing that reuse wasn't viable for them due to their low flight rate only until a handful of years ago. As far as I'm aware, ULA's CEO still insists that anything more than their proposed engine segment reuse is going to require too high of a flight rate to pay for itself (IIRC he said they'd need 10 flights per booster).

This is also part of why SpaceX's model works. Even when disposable F9 is much cheaper than previous rockets in its class.
Not disagreeing but here’s another lens. Applies to TeX as well.

“Java” in javascript kinda meant “modern computer programming” to the audience, in a very very inaccurate and zeitgeist-hype-train way.

People who thought “oh yeah, I’ve heard of java, and scripting sounds easier than programming,” looked into it.

ECMA wasn’t a thing yet, but it might have sounded like a skincare product to those same ears, or something that required college. The buzzwords worked.
> It’s not emitting “code”, it’s emitting individual tokens ... The “code” is the arrangement of those tokens, but that is determined by the weighting of the whole network

This theory of operation is not borne out in reality. It's been clearly displayed that these tools are emitting verbatim copies of existing code (and its comments) in their input.

It's even being seen in image generation, where NatGeo cover images are reproduced in their entirety or where stock photo watermarks are emitted on finished images.

And so, what can be traced back to individual sources? Quite a bit it would seem.
Nah, there's nothing wrong with staying at home. And, subservience is a kink, we don't shame those, right?

The problem is when people would force this norm on others (you, dude, are not allowed to stay at home in this arrangement; my marriage would be illegal and I wouldn't be allowed to vote). Thankfully, it's pretty fringe. But it's always a little spooky to read about that side of my family in the news. The fringe is growing, and they're coming after my civil liberties.
In a word scale. Scale matters. How is one locust different to a million? How is hand copying a manuscript (highly controlled in medieval Europe) different to a printing press. These models will and are already having a profound economic impact on the creative sectors they mimic. Whether existing law applies is a specialist question. But they're not remotely comparable from a pragmatic perspective with pieces manually created by individuals taking 'inspiration' from existing work. A closer parallel would be the industrialisation of painting duplication which is done in Chinese 'artist villages' like Dafen. It's a strange kind of equanimity to shrug while others lose their livelihood and have their self expression systematically duplicated and commodified. No kidding they're furious. That you can't empathise or find it 'naive' is your issue. What attitude would be more understandable? Resignation? Calmly retraining to work in a call centre?
The article goes into sufficient detail on that point!
The “scientific” world full of “modern knowledge” can lead you astray. The sources of human happiness and contentment are timeless, and nothing about today changes human psychology from the ancients.

Family, friends, community, health, purpose. A job well done.

There is no need to justify the choices you make. Are you happy? Does it feel right? Being a “trad wife” simply means you want to live a certain way. Is that some sort of societal damnation?

If you don’t post it on social media then no one will ever know. Just live the way you want.

Exactly what, in the year 2023 C.E., is C great for?

I’ve been writing C since 1991 and I can’t think of anything where I wouldn’t start a new project in some other language. There are many interesting choices of varying maturity in the low-level systems programming space: Zig, Rust, Crystal, D, Swift (if the standard library ever gains support for system-level programming). Even the “better C” subset of C++ will allow you to avoid certain classes of security bugs completely.

I don’t think C is even merely adequate for anything at this point; defaulting to memory safety is table stakes in any domain where C was once dominant.
This was one person who allegedly said that.
Every corporate code base is copyrighted. Engineers can’t write code similar to what they worked on, why should a corporate AI be able to violate copyleft?
No, it's still not progressive. There's a difference between accepting trans people as valid. and pushing some 50's-era rhetoric of feminism being subservient slavery to the man of the house.

Interesting how the OP is about the whole "tradwife" ideology which is damaging for women[1] and feminism[2], but you turn it into a trans-vs.-cis argument, for no reason whatsoever.

The only "clown world" is the one where you think those two entirely disparate topics are comparable.

The thing I do not understand is that both Kodi and Jellyfin require a server.

With Kodi the server is directly connected to the display (Kodi) and Jellyfin is headless and is accessed via the web, an app, ...

VLC is indeed serverless (it is an app that depends on files being hosted somewhere) bit it has little to do with the others

Sounds like a very hostile environment. In my team we learn from each other and have fun doing so.

Some times managers do things to shake things up a bit. Some times they are right, some times they are wrong just like ordinary humans.

But what it takes to ruin the environment is not always a poor manager but just one stubborn grumpy senior dev who refuses to comply, and get some people along with him.
There's going to be a market for GPT like tools to write rough draft legal documents which human attorneys can then edit. This will be a huge time saver in some areas of law. I assume a few start-ups are probably already working on this.

This claims to be a review, but is mainly just a summary / rehashing of the content. Feels a bit disingenuous.

I can warmly recommend the book, though.
In the ideal case the next token is determined by the local context (the prefix string) and the entire corpus of trained code. In this case the prefix string has not been seen before and so the generator must do some interpretation/extrapolation to determine the likely continuation. But in some cases, perhaps many cases, the prefix string has been seen before, or is similar enough to what has been seen before, that the best continuation is just to spit out the similar string in the training corpus. Presumably such cases can be detected due to specific patterns of activation in the network and attributions can be captured/applied.

One dumb way to do this would be to include self-attributions directly in the stream of training data. So in the cases where the best continuation is to just transcribe the training data, the attributions is included in the data itself.
The abstract algorithm isn't covered by copyright, but can be patented (lots of asterisks here about software parents). But the exact lines of code you write are covered by copyright.

If you tell Github Copilot to write a fast inverse square sum algorithm it's allowed to reproduce the idea of the famous quake3 algorithm, but if it produces the same lines and comments as those in the quake 3 source code then that's a pretty open and shut copyright violation

So, in reality, average wage just not exists.

As I know this market after 20 years exp, exists some minimal wage, for novices, and for people, who for some reason could not show their strengths.

And for experienced people, exists looong and not easy negotiations and headhunting schemes, where wage could jump more than TEN-fold above minimal wage.

And also important thing, clean price per hour exists only for novices, because they usually don't know anything else, maybe few things, like "free" lunch, or just their business value too low to consider other options.

For experienced people, who create reliable business value, exists looong list of pph alternatives.

They could account for percent of value for business (this is usually one time payment, but believe me, it could be 100 times more than pph);
- for share in business;
- for some other benefits, like corporative auto, or shares in property.
No, it's about cities, and it's as old as street networks.

Suppose your neighbour has a 30×30m corner plot and you build a five-story building 50cm onto your neighbour's plot. The street isn't going to move, so you've just reduced the size of his possible six-story building by about 2%, and 2% of the value of a six-story downtown building is worth a lawsuit.
Not sure how its relevat anyway, but that doesn't sound silly to me. Why would have a concrete, relatable equivalent be a bad thing?
I’ll hijack to ask a question that’s been on my mind…

I’ve heard people say “don’t write your own auth” but I’ve also spent a LOT of time hacking auth libraries to fit custom designs, custom flows, etc. And building tooling to integrate libraries with other infra: middleware, test mocks, etc.

My question is this: If you have a full time dev team maintaining an application, is it really that much slower in the long term to maintain your own auth flow?

I’ve basically given up on UI frameworks like Material UI because of this issue… if you’re building something customized, and you have full time devs to support it, the “time savings” of using a library like that is, in my opinion, a scam.

You feel like you’re getting a lot for free because the stuff that works out of the box is very visible. But the months and months of cumulative time spent dealing with the complexity that comes from customization and extension is invisible, because it’s just bugs you fix, or tasks that take a week instead of a day.

My team lost probably a dev month this quarter to react-select because of this. I’ve seen the same happen with Popper, react-table, and dozens of other supposedly helpful libraries.

I’m curious what other folks think about auth specifically though. Does auth fit into this pattern, or is it something that you really can meaningfully outsource to a library?
And another one about the cave dude. Please see my other reply for that case.

Regarding the Twitter guy: Yoel Roth was a different person. What was bad about how he treated Roth and the Twitter Android guy (I guess that’s who you actually were referring to)?
I didn’t say the GP was either. The observation is solely that doing traditional things doesn’t make you part of this “trad” sphere, which is largely syncretic in terms of what it actually considers traditional.
Thanks for the honest reply.

So why not do psychotherapy then? I know there are arguments against psychotherapy, but surely all of it doubly applies to Tarot reading -- which is way less regulated, with far less oversight and peer review (I mean it in the broadest possible sense, of course I don't expect a peer reviewed article on "Nature")?
Add a new library dependency when built-in one-liner regex does just fine? I don’t think that’s a good idea by any measure.

Also, learning regex syntax has much better ROI and is a much more transferable skill, than learning a specific parser library’s syntax and bugs.

Just invest 30 minutes once in your life into learning basic regex, for Christ’s sake, it’s not that hard!
NuttX RTOS for PinePhone: Framebuffer
I would absolutely call coreutils critical.
For most embedded stuff those are just extra hassle and not worth it. C and its raw pointers and are really all you need most of the time. The need to have some discipline and expertise to produce solid code with confidence is not a bad thing in the embedded domain. If the code truly is critical you need to dive deep into verification techniques anyway.
> why did not wlroots work with nvidia drivers?

Because nvidia drivers traditionally didn't provide APIs that sway and other wayland compositors expected (drm, dmabuf, atomic) and tried to do it's own things (EGLStreams). For compositors it meant to have to code paths, one nvidia-specific and another one generic. Some compositors implemented both, others implemented generic only.

For comparison, it would be like complaining that Windows/DirectX games do not run with a GPU that doesn't come with DirectX driver. Well, duh.

However, Nvidia signaled a u-turn, that they are going to be more cooperative. How and when, well, it remains to be seen.
You're right, but this misses the point of my comment.

It's a distinction without a difference for most people, and trying to clarify the structure of the foundation to executives and senior leaders (technical and non-technical) only makes their perception of any Apache-branded or open source projects worse.

It's not worded great (code can be owned under current law). But surprisingly enough, there is a core here that is more than opinion, it just needs some elaboration.

It's also going to be hotly debated in the future, because right now most of the commercial AI-generators are just kind of ignoring this and at some point I think they're going to make the argument, "this law/interpretation can't hold or else it would be commercially devastating for us, and it needs to change."

But under current US copyright law, the US copyright office has pretty consistently ruled that:

- purely functional expressions without a creative aspect can't be copyrighted (ie, you patent an invention, you don't copyright it, and stuff like recipes aren't eligible for copyright at all, only the surrounding text is).

- AI-generated content does not have a creative aspect and isn't eligible for copyright protection.

They've even gone so far as to revoke copyright protections to AI-generated content[0][1]. We haven't gotten a similar ruling about code that I'm aware of, but given that the US copyright office already only grants copyright to code under the assumption that coding is a creative act, it's very difficult to imagine code having more legal protections than an image or a book.

----

In my opinion, this is the much more interesting debate than model's source[2], because nobody is really talking about it, and depending on how the inevitable legal challenges play out, it could completely change the field. It's an interesting choice to think about -- let's say an AI gets good enough that you can sit down, describe an app, and the AI just generates it straight up. Would you still use that tool even if the resulting code was public domain and you couldn't assert ownership over it?

Which would be more important: the accessibility/ease-of-creation, or owning it?

It's also interesting because I haven't heard a ton of good legal arguments from people about why this shouldn't be the case, so there's a nontrivial chance that it holds in the future. I've heard tons of logic-based arguments: "it's creative because I decided what to generate, photographs are copyrightable, etc..." And those aren't necessarily bad arguments, they're just arguments that the US copyright office has already rejected. I haven't seen a lot of arguments about "here's why AI generated code would be eligible without a legal challenge overturning existing copyright rules."
