I dunno, I think OP may be right. I was in the same boat: I thought I hated programming, then one day I realized I just hated the industry wrapper around it. I recognize some of that process stuff can be valuable, but it's hard to disentangle the good stuff from the trash. Much of it is cargo cult, article-driven thinking that does nobody any good. A few years ago I switched to design, and now I just program in my spare time for fun. And it is fun when you do it right.
Dating on the internet is a flawed concept and no kind of hacks are going to fix it, because it is human behaviour that is the issue.

If hypothetically, you had a benevolent dating website, and then you had 100 attractive men and 100 attractive women on it, that would work just fine.

BUT, that is not what you have with dating websites. Most women don't have trouble meeting men, and don't need to take the additional risk of meeting a stranger on the internet. So the women on dating sites are already self selected in many ways, and in any case there are too few of them in comparison to the men.

I mean, I already frequented an engineering university with 25% female students and that was brutal enough. I do not need to go online on some stupid website to keep experiencing exactly the same bullshit. At least the quality of women at the university was decently high.
I'd say roughly 70% of the articles Google pushes to my Android's 'news feed' is clearly AI generated garbage designed to maximize SEO. It's absurd. This has been going on for more than a year.

It's usually pretty obvious because you'll read something and some form of uncanny valley starts to creep in where you're like "no sane person writes like this."
In my experience doctors are horrendous at statistics and have no idea how often they should be seeing rare conditions. The “think horses not zebras” mentality that’s drummed into them has blinded them to the herds of zebras galavanting around them.
So what do we do with all the middle class human bs generators today once a lot of pr, journalism, copy and marketing is replaced?
Privacy/ads?

Yes tracking and readability for people with certain add-ons.
No. But thats cool! I use meatspace oils. Mostly by utrecht or gamblin.
> Right now he has the potential to earn, and invest, 10's of millions of dollars that he can give away.

Why can't that be done by whatever organization he gives it all away to?
> defer tax liability

Which can be a big deal. It also lets the shareholder control when they take on the tax liability.
I don’t understand where this line of thought can act as a standard. If you are advocating that reading a book by a Chinese author, even one who supports his governments policy, is the tolerance of evil, if not actual evil based on the reference to the Holocaust, then where do you draw the line?
I can almost be assured that whatever operating system you are using is funded, in some part, by actors who are perpetuating ‘evil’. Those companies doing business with China, the US military-industrial complex, or even just providing services to violent terrorist group are, by your standard, tolerant or in some cases actually supporting ‘evil’. Do you give up anything that is produced by those companies, including your OS?
He said, “Americans work more for less” working more and getting more suggests some agency.

Consumerism isn’t a need. Give up the large house in an expensive area, cellphone, high tech car, computer, cable TV, etc and suddenly you can get by without working so hard just like my parents generation.
did you mean to say 5000+ ? Or were you just saying that around 500 square foot was unusable?
How was Match Group allowed to vacuum up every single dating app out there? I thought we lived in times of increased antitrust scrutiny.
Just because you explain the causality of it doesn't mean it doesn't have harmful consequences or that you shouldn't be concerned.
In case anyone is curious, this oblique description is of the editor-in-chief of Atlantic magazine: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_Goldberg

Hi Caleb. Great work. Please continue keeping it simple and stable. I love that about alpine
I did, and it was wrong in subtle ways for sure.. but honestly, it was right enough that i was really impressed.

Like i think if you're aware that it can be confidently wrong then it can help you explore areas you don't know.

To think of it differently it felt like learning via comments on Reddit. Which is to say a large portion of Reddit posts are shockingly confidently wrong. But with ChatGPT you can inspect those "comments", ask from various angles, etc.

I have this feeling that ChatGPT could, even in its current form, be useful for learning the larger complex picture. Very bad at reciting facts definitely, but ideas maybe not so bad.

Either way i'm still wanting it to improve. But i still think it's shockingly impressive. I will be paying happily if they can make "small" improvements to how it understands information.
"We have this bias that this is a forum frequented by some elites, geniuses, etc."

The word "some" is doing a lot of work there. Not to mention "we".
I'm by no means a professional writer per se, but I've been paid for work that involves writing. Because of this, a version of ChatGPT that could do my writing for me would be helpful. In my admittedly half-hearted attempts, I've really struggled to recreate anything close to what I wrote.
That's sounds like a church, lol.
me me me

but I like svelte a lot :3
prefect fit for my projects for past 5 years https://github.com/kokizzu/svelte-mpa
The biggest mindset adjustment I ever had to make was moving from C++ to Node.js.

You can usually trust that select() is not broken, but select.js is deprecated, select-kitchensink.js is not compatible with your toolchain and unicyclect.ts leaks memory like a sieve
30% of the surface is land. But only 15% of land has land antipodal to it, which certainly initially feels like less than you would expect by random chance.

It’s easy to fall into some counterintuitive fallacies reasoning about this though because we’re considering a spherical surface pairwise and you might be tempted to say ‘ah, but we’re counting the antipodal land twice so that probably accounts for the 15%/30% thing’ - but I don’t think that follows; that 15% with land antipodal to it can be thought of as two sets of 7.5% of the land, which are antipodal to one another - the ‘double counting’ doesn’t work that way to eliminate the anomaly.
Last time i researched adding shift registers was over a year ago and I didn’t find many examples (I vaguely recall one possibly with qmk), and very little public discussion besides a reddit question. Popular guides like ai03’s at the time recommended upgrading to a microcontroller with more gpio before introducing shift registers.

Searching again, looks like zmk added support for the common 595 shift register: https://github.com/zmkfirmware/zmk/pull/1325

Edit: You could avoid using diodes, but diodes increase the number of switches possible via a matrix more than shift registers do by giving you more gpio. I’d imagine one can use both together.
That comment is an example of following a narrative.
I want to give another vote to Atomic Habits by James Clear. An excellent book for understanding this sort of thing.

Also my ultra pragmatic suggestion would be: If you are uber serious about quitting, why not shave it off? That would certainly give you enough time to break the habit.
Then it's similar to France
That's a fair comment, but I will say alpinejs is like 4-5 years old at this point. Not exactly "new" for JS
MOND has its share of failed predictions. It also still requires a certain amount of DM to work.

This is fine for work in progress that all frontier science is but the issue is far from settled.
I do indeed. I knew I mistyped that in a couple of places. No idea why. Oracle seems to have vanished from my brain.
I would never use a library that invents its own DSL.

We already have JS and HTML native to every browser with all the capabilities we need.

React/Solid/Preact and others build off this.

Alpine, Vue, Angular and company do not (x-for, v-for, ngFor etc)

I have no desire to learn a DSL specific to a single library.
They repo your ass, and everything you own
Good thing population is reducing, isn't it?
> Wouldn't a guy who froze himself 100 or 200 years ago

That would have been 1823. No electricity, no cars, no running water, let alone computers and digital payment, and probably a pretty different dialect. He would be homeless. Imagine being someone like Rockefeller ending up between homeless immigrants and gangs. No matter how much progress society has made, that person wouldn't enjoy it.
I think there's enough great literature out there you don't have to feel bad for not being able to enjoy a particular piece, even if it's for unusual reasons. As an example, there's a novel with a good reputation and fascinating plot summary I found unreadable because one of its quirks is that the protagonist doesn't have gender so the pronoun use in the narration is effectively random. Trying to read that was like turning my ADHD up to 11 and I had to give it up.
>Those books, blogs, courses, etc are at least trying to be correct and provide you with reliable information on a topic.

On topics I know really well, ChatGPT is wrong more often that courses, blogs, books, etc. However, I don't think it's prudent to put them in two different categories, where human books are reliable and LLM answers aren't. Both make many mistakes, with a difference in degree that currently favors human books, but without either really being in a different category.

Newly published books (let alone blogs) are frequently less reliable than even Wikipedia. They are written by a handful of authors at most, get a limited period of review, and the first edition is then unleashed upon unsuspecting students until the errata list grows long enough that a 4th edition is needed.

The prime directive for LLMs with RLHF is a combination of giving the answer that best completes the prompt, and giving the answer people want to hear. The prime directive for authors is a combination of selling a lot of books, not expending so much time and energy writing the book that it won't be profitable, and not making so many mistakes that it damages their reputation.

Neither books, blogs, nor ChatGPT have any obligation to be correct. Either way, the content being reinforced (whether through money, or through training) is not The Truth straight from the Platonic Realm, but whatever the readers consider themselves satisfied with.
I have the same issue. I hate leetcode, am a good communicator and want to always connect what I build to the value it delivers to customers. But the companies that care about this the most are startups, and I've had some really bad experiences.
Completely bizarre but on par with Microsoft's usual level of QA. I actually right click on desktop > untick show icons.

After years of rearranging them every single time because a game went full screen or a remote desktop session moved them all around I just gave up. Everything is in the start menu now.
Seriously. I think people are looking back at "no process" companies with rose-tinted glasses. Software doesn't just leap from the developers' fingertips onto store shelves. I've worked as recently as 2010 at a company with no software engineering process, no release process, no qa process, no feature intake process, no planning process, no bug tracker (!), no source control (!!), and so on. It was a total clown show. Highlight reel:

Nobody knew what bugs existed or what features were needed until someone in sales who talked to a customer ran downstairs and recapped their last customer call.

Builds were not reproducible. How we decided what we released to the world was we'd poll the room. Who could actually compile the software today without errors? That person would build whatever was on his workstation, debug symbols and all (because the release builds crashed), and package it up for the customer.

How did we know what we were releasing works? There was one QA guy, who worked on the assembly line. They'd flash the software onto a single device, and make sure it still booted. Ship it!

How did we plan what we were doing for the next N weeks and months? This one's easy--we didn't! The CEO or someone in sales would run downstairs and tell us "We just sold XYZ feature to a customer. We need everyone to drop everything and make this by the date we also negotiated with the customer!"

I think "no process" software development only works for a single developer, or for a very small (less than 3 person) team of absolute experts. Mix a single junior person into the team or add more than 3 or so developers, and it's going to be chaos.
Haha I’ve been called worse
The use of scientific principles to design and build software.
To be honest, despite any issues with FF tab design, the Chrome ones are just horrible. When they contract to the 5 pixel size it's crazy.
It adds a space overhead.

A pointer is already an optional type by the 0 convention.
That would have been the best outcome IMO.
Genetic elements would play a part with how (or if) specific parts of what you are saying would have specific effects though.

The issue is, the system is incredibly complex with a lot of non-linear interaction that are difficult to understand or even see happening.
Which build tools churn this badly, exactly?

Rollup has always been a straightforward path. Vite (built on rollup) is super clean. Before that even, webpack was relatively stable between versions.

If you just used Gulp / Grunt / Browserify I am a little more sympathetic, especially with Grunt / Gulp, but I always felt their limitations were obvious.

Browserify somehow managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory IMO
Yes. And sometimes those things still happen with "agile", too.
Did that actually work? I just assumed they would find a way to charge me 'interest' by having processing fees or some other scam, so I never used them.
Same, this in my opinion was one of React's biggest "innovations".
I would assume for the users of Jdate that marriage-kid outcomes is exactly their reasoning for using a niche service like Jdate. Other dating apps and services....maybe less so. On the one hand that gives jdate a clear target and metric for success and marketing, but also gives them a smaller % of the population to try to appeal to.
There’s nothing egregious about a company putting in guards to protect against liability, even if they seem cruse to you.
I'm coming around to the idea that in general the more bullshit something is the easier it is for AI to disrupt.
“Connecting any device will cause the entire hotel to crash”
Same for me. Jumping into the code can be fun at times. But if the software is not modelled well, a lot of bugs will orginate from structural issues. When you see those, the bugs become anoying to fix because you basically know new ones will pop up eventually since the root cause is not adressed.
Applying concepts like DDD will be of very little value without a profound understanding of the domain at hand. This is mostly established by non-coding activities.
In addition to the others that have already been listed here, there's recent research pointing to elevated levels of both ANG-1 and P-SEL[1], a combination of elevated cytokines and lowered cortisol levels[2], and changes in mitochondrial proteins from neurons[3].

Biomarkers by nature can be extremely difficult to track down.

The optionality comes from you making your own company and doing wherever rules you want for it, openai needs to ensure that they don't suffer backlash from any angle, as the investing companies don't want/need to deal with these kinds of problems themselves, their objective is to maximize revenue and profits, not fulfill wherever rando questions you have
> The only time that it may makes sense to pay installments if if the interests are really 0% and you have lots saved anyway. At that point..why not improve one's credit score anyway.

BNPL providers typically provide 0% interest rates for longer that credit cards, which have 0% interest for anywhere from 3wks to 7wks (depending on when your statement closes relative to when the transaction settles).
Remember to be GDPR compliant though. You must ask consent if you decide to track personal information such as IP addresses.
Same here... but the puritan AI ethicists on Twitter are asking for even more self-censorship. Because there are ways to making it say racist things if you explicitly tell it to do so. As is normal, given that it's just a tool, the point is that it should do what we say.
I guess for these people, high-school debates where one can be assigned racist/sexist/etc. positions are an abomination.

I hope some non-American equivalent is released, because I don't trust American companies to release anything not absurdly prude. American society (or at least the elites) seems totally engulfed by extreme puritanism, and happy to impose it on the rest of us (why can't we have porn apps on the iPhone, when there's porn made by perfectly legal companies who pay their workers and their taxes?)
> Agile is used to micromanage engineers to push out crap features, optimizing for the two week return, with poor results in the longer term

More correctly, organizations micromanage engineers to push out crap features, optimizing for the two week return, with poor results in the longer term, and call it 'agile'. They wouldn't know the nature agile if it fell on their heads.

To make sure I'm understanding you correctly: you are saying that sites which use alpine will use progressive enhancement, where most of the static content is vanilla html, and then little alpine snippets are used to improve the page (nav bars, widgets, etc). Versus full SPA where all of the content is clientside rendered.

At first, I (incorrectly) thought you were saying that the alpine templates are stored "in the dom", so then google would parse them. For example:

<div>
Copyright ©

<span x-text="new Date().getFullYear()"></span>

</div>

But, once I figured out you were talking about progressive enhancement, I came back to reality that google will only see "Copyright (C) " and won't see "2023".

Note: I think it can be used for CRUD based GUIs, if paired with "Html over the wire" (rails hotwire, phoenix liveview, laravel livewire), but that's a different point.
I think Google should have bought Sun when they could. But whatever your opinion on that case is, my point is that copyright is complex and has big grey areas, and having to fight this out in court is going to be way too expensive and risky for most parties involved.
I'll make sure to pour one out for our oil sheikhs tonight
> if you add very big values to very small values, you can get inaccurate results (the small numbers get lost!)

There is a simple workaround for this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kahan_summation

It's usually only needed when adding billions of values together and the accumulated truncation errors would be at an unacceptable level.
Universal Basic Income?
It kind of does with the prompts but i feel that this is actually a higher level config of some kind. The idea that you can encompass a personality in a prompt of 4K tokens and leave room for the reply really underestimates how complex personalities could be, imo.
Excited to be building this with you, Pedro!
Right, "horses not zebras" means "if it has four hooves and a mane check if it's a horse first", not "your patient definitely doesn't have a rare condition". I know so many with chronic conditions that were brushed off by doctors or misdiagnosed that only got the right diagnosis later when their conditions worsened.
My point is that "you never learned how to move fast" is just as glib and patronizing and useless advice as "work smarter, not harder".

ESPECIALLY if millions of people's lives and fortunes are at stake, as in this case with air traffic control.
>The less real costs are factored into a product, the less the market able to efficiently price it. Many of our greatest modern problems could be ameliorated if we handled external costs better: pricing industrial runoff, CO2 emissions, antibiotic resistance, etc.

I'll add to this that in many cases this also eliminates a lot of the subjective/contextless moralizing around spending of energy/mass surplus that goes on, resulting in more individual freedom. It's common in environmental discussions for example for someone to complain about <xyz> form of transportation, often cars or aircraft but I've also seen it come up in rockets. This can lead down all sorts of rabbit holes in terms of cost/benefit etc. But the entire discussion could be avoided as far as AGW if we'd simply make all hydrocarbon fuels CO2 net neutral (either via producing them directly from atmospheric CO2 with renewable energy or scrubbing an equal tonnage of emissions from the atmosphere for every ton CO2 released). Then whatever price the fuel was would fully reflect the CO2 cost, which would naturally filter out to all users, and everyone would be free to spend on that or not as they wished. All sides would optimize to the pricing, producers would search for ways to make the net neutral hydrocarbons cheaper, users would seek ways to use them more efficiently, and those buying services would do the same. That's a Free Market at work, the emergent result of lots of decentralized individual decisions is a much more efficient allocation of resources, and without any central judgement around "oh, that's not a worthy usage" needed.
It is only a matter of time before ChatGPT learns how to ask:

1. What did you do yesterday?

2. What will you do today?

3. Any blockers?
Define work. I often joke that I code for free and get paid to attend pointless meetings or deal with other unpleasant things.
> What is „shock media“

Sensationalizing fear by presenting existing niche knowledge as an elevated concern for day to day living. This is why it's sometimes referred to as fear-mongering.

eg: Did you know how lethal drinking water can be? Simply drinking water has killed plenty of people in modern times. Click here to know more.

Shock media, like most phrases, is an amalgamation of ideas. In this case, "Shock Jock" and Media. The implication is that it's not purely click-bait and the point of the media is not purely informational.
> so I hung out in the lobby for several hours waiting for anyone brave enough to get me to the badge people

Did you consider asking someone going in or out to help you get a badge or to put you into contact with the right person?

Sounds like you passively waited for someone to come and help you, which might be fine for a short while, but eventually it's better to take action.

I've never heard of a "professional bench warmer" in software development. It's not as if devs get injured regularly and need replacements. Why do you think they'd hire you just to not give you anything to do?
