We're just going back in time. Back in the days when I was making YT content, you wouldn't make any money until you reached certain views / subs thresholds. You could then apply for partner, setup an AdSense account, and monetize videos. Before I had the numbers, I became a partner with Maker Studios and monetized videos through them. They ended up getting bought by Disney for $500M.

The current problem + your proposed solutions are literally what we had ~10 years ago :)

We raised several million dollars and ran for several years before we had to pivot. At least then, people weren’t too interested in having to select trusted experts. However, this was the golden era of Google so it was hard to see the need.

Sure it gets executed using microcode constructed from the assembly. But there's a contract that what happens is precisely what the assembly said, with a little wiggle room for operation order and bus cycle width.

Perhaps it's more correct to say assembler is 'closer to the truth'
Joe motivated this by the 'let it crash' philosophy.

Processes are supposed to crash when something that isn't supposed to happen happens. Inside OTP, this presumes that the reason for the crash was an invalid message, as processes should be black boxes that only communicate via messages (Alan Kay's definition of OOP).

Statefulness inside functions works against this goal. AFAIK, SmallTalk had similar idioms of returning new copies data to be sent to objects.

In all other languages, I agree with you. I can read and understand 100 lines of someones else's Go code faster than 20 lines of my own Clojure. I write Clojure for a living.

Edit: typo
JIT compilation is done lazily on a per basic block level (so you only JIT blocks you're about to run). It keeps track of statically known information for specific basic-blocks and specializes different versions of basic blocks based on this. So if you're coming from an if-statement checking the type of X, into a new basic block, then the JIT specializes the block based on the knowledge that X indeed has said type (so it can specialize operations or skip future checks).

I can highly recommend watching their presentation on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFb5wNj2ztM
I think this is really dangerous. People often take what they get as a search result for granted, and if you ask for facts, ChatGPT will straight out lie to you but make it sound very plausible.

For example, I asked chatGPT what percentage of electricity in Germany was produced by renewables, and it said 85.6% and quoted the federal environmental agency. When I went to the FEA website, it clearly said that only 41% are generated by renewables.
Even for humans hands are very difficult! You usually make use of these: https://thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/isolation-artist-s-wooden-jo...
Those investments theoretically benefit all of their customers.

The question is whether specific customers should benefit more than others, when the activity they are doing probably adds costs for the others.

The "supply" value of the electricity being generated is going to vary widely, it's not at all obvious that fixing it at the average cost of supplying residential electricity is going to benefit everyone buying the electricity (which as the volume of electricity involved becomes larger sort of becomes a requirement).
>In fact, there were always Nazis around, and communists, and all the other toxic trolls and crazies. But they were only ever an annoyance, because if a community didn’t like those people, the moderators would just ban them. Even normal people got banned from forums where their personalities didn’t fit; even I got banned once or twice. It happened. You moved on and you found someone else to talk to.

Doesn't this create an opposite problem: echo chambers?
Thanks for bringing this up, it motivated me to read most of the Wikipedia article.

I agree - unlike perfectly symmetric battlefield of chess, the story of a larger force surrounding a smaller force defending a key leader is something that did and does happen all the time.

Personally, I never felt that much drawn into chess, or other classical board games, or video games with rock-paper-scissor mechanics, precisely because of the symmetry. I understand that it does crystallize the logical puzzle / challenge of the game, but at the same time, I've always found asymmetric games much more enjoyable to play. I suspect it's because they allowed me to delude myself that I can apply some real-world tactical into it, instead of actually getting good at the game. But hey, I enjoyed (and still do) this delusion as a casual player.

Aggregating human knowledge with LLM is a negative, unless it provides attribution. Humans are selfish, we are incentivised to do the work because we take pride in it. There's no pride if you are producing for LLM operator who then charges people to provide your work as an answer.
How old’s your roof? Just wait until it’s time for new panels. You’ll want new panels after a couple decades and change for the significantly improved performance. Panel work will be routine for roofers in the 2030s and 2040s. If you installed them on an old roof, you made a mistake, and your municipality probably shouldn’t have approved the work in the first place.

Your replacement inverter should only cost $1-3k in present money, depending on its size. You probably have a warranty on it for the first half of your panels’ life.

You also don’t need to pay for an expensive extensive cleaning unless something goes really wrong or you live under an HOA that is hostile to solar.

By far, the biggest factor in ROI is your generation relative to your initial installation cost minus tax credits and SRECs.
> FWIW, when denying the request to wootric, the docker daemon crashes.

A yes, this about fits the standard of engineering I've come to expect from Docker.

Anyway, I couldn't find any references too "woocentric" anywhere in the code; looks like this part isn't open source? I did find this other issue: https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/12718 with a comment from May 2022:

"At some point we found out that bugsnag was actually sending a «session creation» request of some sort when initialized, even if no crash was actually being reported. We believed we had fixed that, but I just checked with a MITM proxy and it appears to have regressed… There may be some other services doing something similar without us realizing (wootric, …).

We have created a ticket in our internal backlog to review all this."
I think the point the above poster is trying to make is that "the community" could very well be a couple of thousand GPT states. We will see more of this in the future, not less.

What scares me a little is that the venture capital behind both ChatGPT and similar products is going to want a return on their investment, and morally questionable "content" is the obvious low hanging fruit here. Any betterment of mankind type of outcome is much further in the future. A coming recession would make this inevitable as early capital dries up first.

The real twist of this story would be if GPT-style automatons are used on both sides of the consumer divide. It's easy to imagine building more sophisticated ad watchers, thereby creating a closed loop of advertisements slowly sucking the economic value out of the system.

I’ve seen this exact poor customer experience dozens of times and I shake my head each time.

If there’s a tier to pay for that removes the restriction, then every agent who supports that product should know about it and guide users on why and how to upgrade.

> When a machine can pump out a great literature review or summary of existing work, there's no value in a person doing it.

I like most of the article but this is the crux for me. As I ruminate on the ideas and topics in the essay, I’m increasingly convicted there is inherent value in humans doing things regardless of whether an algorithm can produce a “better” end product. The value is not in the end product as much as the experience of making something. By all means, let’s use AI to make advances in medicine and other fields that have to do with healing and making order. But humans are built to work and we’re only just beginning to feel the effects of giving up that privilege.

I wonder if we’re going to experience a revelation in the way we think about work. As computers get more and more capable of doing things for us, I hope we realize the value of doing versus thinking mostly about the value of the end result. Another value would be the relationship building experience of doing something for others and the gratitude that is engendered when someone works hard to make something for you.

Which made my point to the parent.

And apparently everyone's been living under a rock because Python didn't become truly huge until maybe 10 years ago.

Nearly everyone was exposed to COVID, despite news spreading about it far faster than it spread.

COVID only killed under 1% or so of those exposed. But there are plenty of diseases with far higher mortality. What makes you think we couldn't make something as deadly as rabies (kills 99%+ of those who get symptoms) but as transmissible as the common cold?
The danger of the likes of ChatGPT is that this enjoyment of content creation largely hinges on humans entertaining the notion of other humans reading said content, as opposed to accessing it in an anonymized scraped form via an LLM—I can’t see how mass adoption of copyright-laundering LLMs would not lead to a balkanized internet with mostly closed, unindexable knowledge.

What made me pick Django (and Python) over RoR back in 2009 when I was looking for next language after becoming unhappy PHP was experience with part of its community.

But it wasn't positive experience with Djangonauts. It was negative experience with RoR devs. I've never had random Django person come from nowhere either on web dev forum or PHP forum to *flame* others for using PHP. But it was regular thing with Rails devs. AFAIR the term "Rails Zealot", meaning combative tribalistic RoR developer who goes around the web to try to convince other devs that they should switch to RoR using aggressive and flaming rhetoric comes from around that time.

I've though this was regular PHP hate, but when I've started learning Django and participating on Python communities I've found out that at smaller scale the flamewars are also there. But this time the reasons why I am "harming myself" and "not real programing" were different.
So, how do you reconcile this opinion with the fact that Ruby can't even do a proper REPL on Windows? It just starts showing weird output, overwriting lines and doubling up other ones... that other language just works.

And look, I LOVE Ruby. I come from twentyish years of Perl, and I really like the way Ruby feels when banging out a script but these days, time is in short supply, and I just don't have time to screw around with Ruby.

If I were someone who was gravely concerned with Ruby's future, I really don't know where to even begin.

* DataSci/ML scene is basically nonexistent, that's a problem.

* Windows scene isn't good, at all. That's a problem. At least it's kinda there, so you wouldn't be starting from scratch at least, like Crystal team has fought with.

* I think something could be done with integrating Rubocop or some other linter (? idk what real Rubyists use) in order to begin solidifying the code culture. PEP8 is a huge factor of Python's success imo.

* Packaging. I'm not familiar with the modern Ruby stack, but in my limited dabbling, rake has done just fine. In Python, hearing about Packaging Issues is the new vogue from customers/people who have no idea what they're doing in the slightest. I've used pip/setup.py in the past, but funny enough I'm actually reading up on Hatch lately, which is the new hotness.

Anyhow, I don't think it's quite fair to throw this much shade at Python when Ruby hasn't really addressed any of the things that makes Python so popular. If Ruby is so much better, than it needs to do all those things at least as well if not better.
We’ve evolved to deal with the natural rate of pathogen evolution. Not a guided one. Some species have already lost to the natural ones.

Race not being well defined is part of why this discussion is fraught.

If you were to ask Winston Churchill about race he’d define it as something closer to what most people now would call nationality (e.g. he’d say that the Boers were a different race than the English even the ones who’d long lived in South Africa). An Idaho white nationalist on the other hand hyper focuses on skin color (with perhaps some religion thrown in if they are a traditionalist).
The person you're replying to is responding to:

yeah, this. It’s not open in any sense of the word, not even pretending to be.
My guess is your first point is exactly why Google hasn't done this yet. Their 'knowledge boxes' are already crossing a line that in general they felt nervous about crossing historically, but they don't go very far.

Google on the whole historically did not want to alienate publishers (and the advertisers that hang out on publisher content) and has avoided being in the content production business for this reason.
Oh wow, I had to go back and check after reading your comment. Totally missed that at a quick glance.
Its actually easier to understand if you have worked with bare metal embedded devices in clusters. Because this is what they actually are.
This is very interesting. I wonder if it would turn the "visible to you" internet into an echo chamber though.
> It will simply force me to make a `.c` file for every `.h` and define it there.

You can do that of course but you'd be missing the point of how it is meant to be used. Your project already has at least a single .c file anyway, so why make a separate .c file just so you can put `XXX_IMPL` in there instead of putting it in the .c file that is going to be using the library itself?
I agree. Also, sometimes the line between 'almost correct' and 'complete bullshit' is very thin.
Do you know any IDE or editor that implements this? I would love to try it.

I admit I don't know the software at that level but I think you would be surprised, it's a web server, db engine, and all sorts of things rolled up into it. This is commercial/industrial HVAC, it has more in common with emulating a PLC on PC hardware than say a nest thermostat app. I know it interacts with serial and ethernet ports to speak multiple languages (BACnet/LonWorks/Modbus/hundreds more) and they like to have some close relationship with the hardware, some of which is for licensing...

They currently support windows, redhat, and just added Ubuntu. Very much similar version of the software runs on their "native" jace 8000 (PLC lite) hardware, which is ARM under it all so you would think they already have experience in that area.
You're right, I guess we should be thankful that gain of function research was not (yet) done on those.
They should just abandon MSVC and invest into LLVM/Clang, like everyone else does. Will resolve a lot of incompatibility problems, and will bring more tools for developers.

Probably an unpopular opinion, but if you want rock solid documentation, switch to waterfall.

I just dont think its possible with agile. It's always lacking. There are degrees of quality, sure. Aspire for good documentation. But there are too many moving parts by too many hands and there are diminishing returns on documentation efforts.

Also consider that every piece of documentation you write adds onto the documentation burden. The more you document, or the more specificity you give in documentation, the harder it is to have accurate docs. Auto-generating stuff gets around this but is usually of limited value.

What incentivises me to be active and commit time and energy to the site knowing that at any time I could be permabanned by the behaviour of someone two levels away whom I've never even heard of? That's worse than Twitter banning you for some rule break, that's Twitter banning you for someone else's rule break.

You might say that would make you think thrice about inviting people, and yes it would - what incentivises anyone to invite anyone, ever? What makes your system different from a small group of friends making a private invite-only Discord/IRC channel/etc. and keeping it exclusive right now?
