You won't be (as) competent (as you could be) because your understanding of the environment is going to be lacking. And would be tremendously more so if you weren't even competent in the language.

As an adult, you might (or might not) be able to mostly isolate yourself from your environment and its influence on you (probably not if you have to work). IMHO you are foolish to expect your kids to be able to do so (and it's not like it would be even a good idea to try !)

I agree with the sentiment that dating apps have changed the dating landscape and have made it easier for people to connect with potential partners. However, this has also led to an overabundance of options and a culture of instant gratification, where people expect to find the perfect match with minimal effort. As a result, many people may become reliant on dating apps and may not put in the effort to meet potential partners in real life.

But the fact is, there are thousands of ways to talk to girls, and millions of resources and guides and books on how to do it, yet people do it less and less thinking dating apps will produce results.

We should not forget that building a social circle, joining clubs or groups, and participating in activities that align with your interests are all great ways to meet new people. Additionally, working on building social skills and confidence can also help in real-life interactions. And not all dating apps are created equal, and some may have a higher success rate for men than others. Some apps or websites are geared towards specific interests or demographics, and targeting these may increase your chances of success.

tl;dr dating apps can be a useful tool, but they should not be the only way to meet potential partners. It's important to actively seek out opportunities to meet new people in real life and to put in the effort to build genuine connections.

What you're doing is called "True Scotsman" and you're missing the point. French culture is whatever happens in France. It's not some ideologically sterile idea that you make it out to be. Same for Japan. French and Japanese culture evolve with time and influence, just as the rest of the world. However it is still French/Japanese culture.

In some far distant world where people in France no longer eat baguettes or people in Japan are not synonymous with Sushi, those people still exist in French and Japanese culture. (And those ideological totems still exist as legacies in French and Japanese culture, they're just no longer practiced).

And I'm not even going to begin to address the influences that France and Japan have had on other cultures (the entirety of Africa and Asia). The cultures of the places that France and Japan have influence have not been "superseded". They are still the culture's of those lands. They just have outside influence.

Depends how the AI part is presented. Explicit or obscured? Upfront or shady?

For some people, that makes all the difference. I told my (non-technical) wife about ChatGPT when it came out, and she was revulsed. Not by the technology itself (which she couldn't care less about) but by its "feel".

When I prodded deeper, her revulsion came down to "I'd feel cheated if I realized I've been interacting with a machine masquerading as a human". Not the machine itself, but the successful masquerading.

I suspect she's not alone, and "being cheated" will be a visceral issue to a lot more people than the early money-grabbers and AI enthusiasts give credit for.

The main feature of the project is simplicity and a wide range of possibilities: - Adding social media accounts; - Switching between social accounts. networks; - Add and edit custom posts with the ability to attach attachments; - Ability to select a social account. networks and records for publication; - Ability to select communities to which the publication will be performed; - Ability to view the history of publications with detailed details; - Possibility of authorization in the system through social networks; - The ability to automatically re-publish posts to the remaining communities, if the Internet connection was interrupted during the publication process; - Ability to automatically publish a user recording on a schedule.
The best you have is that I was slightly imprecise, I am happy to correct that to "around two years". You didn't need to be a walking encyclopaedia.

> The point was that VRE is still a tiny part of the overall grid. It will stay like that for a long time to come.

13% and growing exponentially by 5% of the total yoy isn't tiny. And intermittency doesn't even impose a need for dispatch, interchange, or storage until it hits at least 75%.

> And the original point that hydrogen is some kind is scam for not being green enough right now is pure hypocrisy, because the grid is in a similar situation.

Burning hydrogen for transport or heating is a much worse plan than using electricity directly. On top of heat pumps existing, seasonal sensible heat storage has a higher volumetric energy density than hydrogen, electric elements are much more efficient than electrolysis + transport, and fuel cells + electrolizers are worse than batteries by pretty much every metric.

> And you immediately ignored the relevant points before launching into ad hominem and spouting off a conspiracy theory. Ironically, proving my point about how VRE fans do not want hydrogen production even though it solves the biggest weakness of VRE. Proving that VRE fans are just trolls these days and have nothing of relevance to say.

Again, you're trying to conflate rejection of shoe-horning grey hydrogen into nonsensicle places whilst pretending it's green with rejection of hydrogen.
Well, sort of... there goes quite a bit of materials science and engineering into making and shaping the glass of a lens to make it behave like a matrix (i.e. to extend the range in which this linear approximation to the actual behavior of a blob of glass is valid).

In particular:

> Protests against the indictment of DeCSS author Jon Lech Johansen and legislation prohibiting publication of DeCSS code took many forms.[15] One of them was the representation of the illegal code in a form that had an intrinsically archivable quality. Since the bits making up a computer program also represent a number, the plan was for the number to have some special property that would make it archivable and publishable (one method was to print it on a T-shirt). The primality of a number is a fundamental property of number theory and is therefore not dependent on legal definitions of any particular jurisdiction.
Nah, I wouldn't try that stuff. The paradigms are different.

You repair physical stuff because parts wear out. Software doesn't wear out.

In my opinion, it would be better to set a support window where a company must provide updates to fix flaws or security issues based on the type of device. OSes could be 5 years, safety recalls for vehicles are already covered. I'm not sure any action is really necessary on this.

>and content will eventually become worthless

Eventually? Are you saying Buzzfeed content is currently NOT worthless?

"Am I so out of touch? No, it's the children who are wrong."

What does the online future look like? Drowning in mountains of AI generated garbage and AI based search engines who won't be able to differentiate between fake AI generated stuff and the truth, so we'll get garbage answers?
I think only a small percentage of the 65+ group lives in nursing homes or rarely leaves the house.
At the end of the day... who needs humans?

On one side, you have AI creating content, on the other, you have various bots scraping ("reading") that content... what do humans do now? And what is the added value of buzzfeed compared to just conversing with chatGPT?
Or rather, the end of the easy mode search engine. Google has been losing the fight against SEO for the past years. I'm not sure if they don't care (because ads bring in the money, not SERPs) or if they can't.

Relying on PageRank / links (like they currently do as the super-dominating factor) doesn't work if larger sites will employ AI (like BuzzFeed).

Relying on their ability to tell apart AI and human generated texts? I'm not sure. I'm not an expert, but I fed in text from a German public broadcaster into one of the "identify ChatGPT" things and it said it looked like ChatGPT. I doubt these technologically conservative editors are using ChatGPT to write official reports.

Instead, they'd need to understand the topic at hand to judge whether a page is useful in answering the user's question. And at that point, they have an answering machine and no longer need to show search results.
Same order of magnitude, i.e. depends, but really bad if you actually use the language.
If anyone can give me the history of compile-time VMs as compilers, i'd be interested. It's the obvious solution to making static langs as usable as dynamic, but seems to have exploded in lang-design popularity over the last decade.

I take it Jonathan Blow has been a significant inspiration, but there's clearly prior art to this approach.

＞ I'd absolutely use AI to enhance my work. That doesn't make it any less meaningful.

I would disagree with this when it comes to many creative works. Things like gallery showings are there as much to sell art as they are to sell the connection with the artist. There's a lot more that goes into the experience of a creative product than just the product itself.

Nonsense. I know a few GPs, they sure aren't using anything fancy on their laptops. They might google a bit at best but not on their locked down work laptop full of medical files and privacy sensitive data. And never while patients are looking. Most doctors I know use computers mostly for administrative stuff.

Lawyers are actually worse. Lots of paper based administration. Patent lawyers use expensive search systems that are hard to use and query. But even that is pretty unintelligent and that's actually by design. They want to screen everything manually. I build search engines for a living, either group could benefit massively from even a simple one.

The introduction of AI to this space has not happened yet. The little bit of experimentation that has happened with analyzing MRI scans, expert systems, etc. has of course had a limited impact. But most doctors operate without any of that.

I think you are overestimating what search engines do, and underestimating what AI can do. Not in the distant future but right now.
My personal take (having read the entire series including the tacked-on ending by the son) is:

The first Dune is the result of research and thinking. Great care went into it. Every subsequent book is more and more of "oh, here's a sequel". I can't remember anything after God Emperor which in itself was a slog bordering of abysmally bad.

So:

- Dune. Yes. It's slow, long, but ultimately very good

- Dune Messiah. Maybe

- Children of Dune. Can already be skipped

- Skip the rest of the series, they are not worth it. At all

YMMV :)
Is it easilty mitigated though?

By a python programmer, sure.

By another programmer, ok.

This is such a self-own to admit your content is so formulaic, a bot can automate writing it.

I wondered if someone would mention that this time around; it is a really bad piece of slow javascript that shows completely whacked-out graphs though, because it is trying to show the "fork" feature from github (and doing a poor job), not really the gitk or log --graph output of anything.

Yes, first-parent and expand would be a good way to view history. Github is a website and should be providing new and interesting ways to view information, not failing to provide even the basic lowest-common-denominator view (the gitk view).
