I should probably listen to that podcast, but to me the "It's gatekeeping" thing is entirely annulled by experiences like this HN post. If I went a few years without seeing people ignorantly doing this I would re-think my stance, but I don't think I ever go more than a few months and I'm not paying that close attention.

I feel like it belongs in the same category as "Don't eat wild mushrooms". I know some people who are really interested in fungi and they definitely don't see this as gatekeeping, they see it as fewer dead people. Bad cryptography is less immediately deadly than eating the wrong mushroom, but on the other hand even tremendous incompetence (e.g. feed housemates delicious mushroom soup you made, oops that was poison, they're all hospitalised) has narrower consequences than for software which can trivially be spread to millions of people.

I wrote some crypto example software as a demo for an acquaintance (I was going to write "friend", but given subsequent events lets go with "acquaintance") last century, and I made sure to cover it in "Not for production use" warnings, but how sure can I ever be that the warnings were still on it when anybody else saw it ? Perhaps I should rather have said "No".
It's perfect from the point of view of the rich. Especially since they might end up with some of their other rich neighbor pool water that they couldn't get their hands on before.

Great tip in general!
Did any java-like ever try something like a language-level MyClass$WIP type? Seems quite elaborate for a niche problem like this, but could useful in other ways as well, e.g. by allowing finals not being final before promotion to non-WIP.

Thanks for the link, I haven't seen it.

Skimming through their Wiki, it looks like a tree-oriented outliner with a link graph - i.e. a similar model to what Roam, Obsidian, Logseq or org-mode (especially when paired with org-roam) offers.

This is as close as I've seen graphs at the UI level to hit mainstream, and the extreme hype generated around this class of tools (and Zettelkasten) when Roam showed up was interesting to watch - people reacted to this as if it was pure magic.
The only thing custom is the recommended sort, which anyone can turn off, by choosing the other sorts.

Reads as: "The only thing custom is the default algorithm."

What are the stats on the % of people using reddit actively who get something OTHER than "recommended" as their sort option?

Also, how do you square these ideas with the fact that there's an invisible thumb on the scale on votes, in terms of reddit's displayed vote count and the real vote count, the sheer number of bots on the site, and the fact that reddit chooses who gets to moderate subs (and in a few cases has actively replaced ownership of a sub)?

Yeah, but ref-log is scary to beginners (I suppose rebase is too!). Rebase was a poor example, but even so, it is way easier to copy a snapshot number out of your cli and restore than it is to dig through your reflog for the right sha

ref-log doesn't save you in so many situations. As you point out, you have to commit all the time for it to save you. Even then, git repo corruption is possible and then you are hosed.

For example:

* a hard reset clears your working copy changes

* you pop a stash you didn't mean to, atop your working copy changes. Now your working copy changes are intermixed with the stash and you have to manually decouple them.

* you accidentally stage hunks to your index and its tricky to unstage them because they are adjacent to other hunks

Such a tool also saves you from accidentally saving over your work in the text editor. It generally makes it so that you don't need to be as careful.

So, generally, git commands that affect your working copy are not undo-able and can be very time consuming to undo if you have no proper time machine underneath your repo. I happily have experienced the bliss of having this reassurance, but it is only within a proprietary env.

10GW, ignoring the ability to shed energy over time, would take ~16 million years to boil the ocean.

It's what most of those "HD remasters" of film are doing. (Well, sometimes it's a human or a chemical/mechanical process rather than an "AI", but either way you're fabricating details out of noise and/or thin air).
That movie is the definition of a Broken Aesop though: "what are the ethical implications" and then it proceeds to immediately use the technology to prevent a major mass terror attack.

In a world where Lucious's concerns were taken seriously, the Joker would've blown up both barges and probably not been caught.

So the lesson is....mass surveillance is okay sometimes when the threat is great enough?

This is interesting because it provides a very clear geopolitical incentive for actors to acquire control of Reddit moderatorships - an anonymous and untraceable way to influence a Supreme Court decision.
ChatGPT stands out in its ability manage meandering conversational language to find the interwoven commands. The pearl is that the user doesn't need to accomodate the AI's limitations.

The core issue with current AI assistants is each has an invisible wall of limitations that the user can only discover via experimentation. This ultimately results in the system training the user on how to speak to it, and what commands it can accept. Since the system doesn't have any way of notifying the user of growing functionality, most users possess a dated idea of the capabilities of their AI assistant.

I don't feel it's warranted to use ChatGPT as evidence that AI assistants are bad or that people at FAANG companies are to be ashamed. AI assistants operate under far greater restraints such as a necessity to reply quickly and run computationally light. ChatGPT currently can't provide that at the moment, and making the conversational interaction smarter won't make the whole AI system smarter. E.g. If I say "remind me to get bananas", ChatGPT won't pop up and alert me when I pass a greengrocer or supermarket.

Instead one should direct their criticism more fairly: such as why don't AI assistants provide a better means of demonstrating their growing functionality, or demonstrate the flexibility of language that they do understand. I think most people would be pleasantly pleased by what an AI assistant could do if they just knew what they could ask it.

Side note:
Siri is does understand basic context. If you say "it's dark in here", it will turn on the lights. For those that put a homepod in each room, Siri is smart enough to turn on a light in just that room. It will also handle longer commands that tie into system functionality "remind me to get my prescription when I'm near CVS" will build a reminder that's tied to a geo-fence around the pharmacy. What it doesn't do (and I can't see how ChatGPT would help here) is recommend any pharmacy that I walk past, instead it has to be just that CVS, and if there are multiple CVS's nearby, I would have had to elect one.)
>>These people do not deserve anonymity, nor an assumption of good faith.

sorry no... We do not strip essential liberty simply because there are bad actors out there who abuse it.

The problem is not these individuals persay. The problem is Reddits moderation system in the first place. That enables "power mods" and gives the community no power to remove bad mods, and creates corrupting incentive systems along with admins that further corrupt this system by bestowing favors and powers upon the mods they favor.

This has been a problem since the start of reddit and could be solved if Reddit had any desire to stop it, they dont so reddit continues it path on becoming worse than Twitter (if it has not already beaten it)
Seeing this does make me appreciate the "no such thing as a constructor" approach of Rust. Rust, of course, has a totally different object model.

OOP classes are really a bit of a triumph of engineering, because they offer a lot of nice ways to build out various complex systems (would rather build out GUIs in a Java-based object model than in a Rust-basd one). And the fact that moving the model "forward" in expressivity is so subtle and starts introducing a lot of asterisks is probably proof that it's some local maximum
That's why it happened. Rich knew this money ends up with them ultimately. That's why UBI might happen, because rich know they will be the ultimate benficiaries. So they can let it happen.
Yeah I don’t want the ads to be intrusive. I don’t get many donations, no. In my experience, people will donate for a tool deemed useful (for business, etc.) but not much to something recreative.

As for traffic: word of mouth, mainly. Posted it on Reddit back then, things like that. It grew organically from that.
Also, although it’s far from being on top results on SERP (search engine result pages), some people do find it that way.

I think Google Maps is already losing. I was a faithful user since it came out. Game Apple Maps a few tries but always went back.

The past couple of years Google maps has gotten more glitchy, given worse directions, and most recently started showing extreme lag. Maps in CarPlay started falling behind real-time. First by a few seconds, then by minutes. Wasn’t sure if it was the car head unit, phone, reception or what.

Out of desperation I tried Apple Maps. Not only did it work flawlessly, but its driving prompts are greatly superior to Google maps.

I could go on about YouTube having broken bulk-publishing of videos (this for my son’s football and basketball games chopped up into indivuap videos).

It’s all horrible now.
Well, exactly.

But I would still say that in your original example, the use of blockchain is particularly unnecessary.
It is important to note that Brazilian economy's minister said there is no plan to implement a common currency[0].

This declaration came after Argentinian ambassor said, in a visit to Brazil, that there were plans to create it.

It seems to me that this is something that Argentina wants, while Brazil has no practical interest in it.

Worth mentioning that Argentina is a country that is dealing with deep financial crisis and heavy inflation and a common currency could help to reduce inflation. Brazil had similar problems through the 80's and 90's.

The Axiom of choice has never felt completely self-evident to me. E.g.: what if you have sets where the elements are non-computable? How do you "choose" objects that cannot even be named?

Something like: "the set of all programs that cannot be proven to halt" and the like can be used to create pathological sets where the set itself obviously exists, but you cannot name any of the members.

Actually, an ever better example is: "The set of reals that are not the solution to any equation that can be written with a finite number of symbols." -- an infinite set that has no nameable members!
I'm making https://simplescraper.io - a no-code web scraping tool.

Saved up, quit my job and went all in...on a todo app. Needless to say that idea didn't go far, but it taught me how to code.

When I was close to broke I pivoted to this product and finally gained traction and now it's doing well enough to be my main source of income.

I'm kind of following the "1000 true fans" ethos that pops up here occasionally. There's a dedicated group of customers who benefit from the ease and speed of the tool and they're like my product team.

I check in with them often, make sure they're happy and build features for them. Turns out, what they value other people value too, and so the product slowly but surely grows.

Learning to code was definitely one of the best decisions I've made. Felt like gaining wings.
I haven't been laid off, but due to the economy I've been trying to come up with something I can do to become self-reliant. I've built a forum platform, and I've been buying up ___forum.com domains and pointing them at it. So far it has been costing me lots of money, and no users are showing up, but it's my vision and I'm not going to give up so easily.
I didn't claim that changing the world's behavior is feasible. It may not be. But given the horrific human cost of having so many people become obese and diabetic I think we ought to try.

What's the alternative? It's not going to be politically or economically practical to devote a larger share of GDP to healthcare, and minor improvements from increasing automation or reducing waste won't be sufficient.
What is the point of coming onto this thread other then to see if the book is worth reading or not? It's fair to assume a lot of people on this thread haven't read it.

I never Denied examples didn't exist. I stated your arguments of "you're wrong" prove nothing without evidence. YOU didn't present evidence on this thread; I Did; That's all I said.

I'm sure it's not a "good look" to people who've read the book, but your attitude guarantees that you alienate people on the other side. It is not only a good look to people who believe in the anthropologic status quo, but it's the one look that should matter. I mean are you here just to toot your own horn? This is essentially what I'm seeing from you: "I read the book, you do it too because you're wrong." I came seeking reasons from people like you on why this book should be read.

This book is obviously more of a fringe perspective on anthropology so it does not do you any good at all to project that attitude.

>Viewing as someone who doesn't care about defending any side, these so-called nuances don't change anything.

The law says otherwise:

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1038

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/28/1784

If you want to ignore the law, then your assertion has merit.

I'm not defending anyone. Rather, I'm merely pointing out that ignoring nuance and details is a mistake.

Then again, if you view the world through the lens of self-serving PR and ignore the details (as well as the relevant laws), I can see why you came to that conclusion.

And you're not alone. Many folks form their understanding of current events based on the opinions and assertions of those with an agenda. That's a mistake.

Facts matter. Timelines matter. And all of those who are supposed to serve us (regardless of ideology/partisan affiliation) should be held to account for their actions.

That's not a partisan take, rather it's rooted in the idea that we are a nation of laws, and all who are within the borders of the nation are subject to those laws. No exceptions. There's also a lot of nuance in that too, but if we abandon that concept, we're just a mob.

Total nonsense. There’s a reason the first amendment says nothing about hammers.

> Ancient tribal societies were (almost?) always led by male warrior chiefs. Critical theory apparently says to focus on the rare exceptions, but won't that just give you an unrealistic view of history?

It's sounds like the argument is that this generalization doesn't have lot of basis in evidence, given that it's based on potentially inaccurate identification of remains. If you start with the conclusion that the generalization is correct, then yes, of course it would be silly to ignore it. The question seems to be whether those generalizations are worth assuming at all or not.
for what its worth they are not "just" a DB interface layer. they are at this point or soon to be one of the most popular ORM in JS (~100% market share for new projects among early adopter types) and a cross-db "super ORM" at that (ya i know what i typed, i have my doubts too but hey that seems to be what people want).

Almost no translations are based on the Latin. Possibly some Catholic ones are, I don't know.

Some translators might have looked at the Latin, particularly in hopes of clarifying some of the Hebrew, since we have almost no non-Biblical texts in ancient Hebrew. I guess the assumption there--if anyone did do this--would be that Jerome (the main translator into Latin) was closer to the time that ancient Hebrew was spoken, and might therefore have had access to a better understanding of its meaning. But this idea is mostly speculation on my part.
Awesome work!

After college, I dropped from 300 to 185 (currently at 200 and trying to get to around 170 as a goal). I made a similar lifestyle change and found many of the same benefits!

To me, the mental and emotional benefits alone make losing weight worth the effort. The physical side is nice and the ability to lift heavy things comes in handy, but the mental side is what keeps me working.

More recently, I got a formal diagnosis of ADHD and learned that a lot of my struggle comes from a similar root. Meds allow me to be much more intentional with my snacking.
Nice and you have some interesting packages I have not touched. I just bought the course to help out :-) and lets see if I can run it on my Raspberry PI here cluster at home I recently built up.

I get your point, but having a “women only” car (which is actually a “women and kids and elderly and disabled people only”, from 7h to 10h in the morning) is a lower hurdle than what people imagine.

It is not the high moral ground solution, and two cars among 20 isn’t a big change either, but that’s the most pragmatic solution to this. Catching some random guy during rush hours when there’s a train every 4 min and thousands of people get in and out is more of a logistical nightmare than how you make it sound like.

Intentional or accidental groping also happens in France for instance, and the best you’ll get will be a passenger fight, no cops nor rail staff coming in to do anything, while the other passengers shout insanities at the fighters because the train is already too fucking late (actually had that once on the train I was riding). The equivalent situation is taken way more seriously in Japan[0].

Patriarchy is strong either way, but I’d be looking at school uniforms more than rush hour arrangements if we want to dig on the topic.

I think the lore is that the wider internet was intentionally taken down by a virus made by a master hacker in the past. Any attempts to connect with it gets you killed by either the virus or "feral ais", but some of the mega corps pay people to explore it every once in a while looking for stuff.
There certainly was some of that: dumb ideas that were going nowhere.
