I have 3 main clients now:

1. project with large code bases that I maintain, the configs alone are of the scale of 20k lines of yaml files

2. Prototyping client with smaller code bases and varying requests for projects needing to be adapted for their clients

3. Implementing research results of a research institute

In all what I have/saw, I still don't see a single use case for GPT assisted programming. Even for snippets, I have a large repository of lua snippets for neovim and coockicutter templates that I built throughout the years.
Any reasons why it could not be as fast as the Go compiler? Maybe GC and the borrow checker could slow down a bit, but apart from that?
nim comes the closest of anything I've found, the infrastructure just isn't quite there.

ocaml has potential but I strongly dislike the numeric operators, and I'm not a huge fan of the syntax in general.

OCaml with python like syntax would be damn near perfect. I could even overlook the operator thing.
On the topic of names, why is there a hyphen in the company name?

The anatomical term "pia" can be pronounced as if it starts with either "pea" or "pie". Writing "pi-a" is very strongly suggestive of a pronunciation like the Greek letter pi (i.e., like "pie", not "pea"), especially as the website's favicon is the letter pi. However, the website says it's pronounced "pea-uh".

So I would think that the hyphen would bias people towards the "wrong" pronunciation.
When running my startup I did a deep dive into the psychology behind friendship and relationship building, but I haven't kept track of any of the references since then.

Very hopefully not, because we suppose you would check the content before and after expression.

Check it in terms of intelligence: in terms of relevance, of truth, of importance, of logic, of foundational solidity...
No company or organization is immune to bad business practices.

Them being a securities exchange does not somehow provide immunity from developing rigorous systems which have oversights, or make bureaucracy magically go away.

Likewise, the impact of an outage being more extreme does not mean the people there are infallible. Things slip through. Especially random customer requests being bounced around from team to team, the thing in question.

Same. The question I’ve been finding more and more interesting over the years is “how do you tell when you have an interchangeable component/what are the implicit dependencies holding things together”.

You run into an abstracted version of that in software all the time, but it’s way more ubiquitous that just a software or business problem. There’s always a limit to interchangeability/some kind of assumed context. That rabbit hole is incredibly deep. I don’t think I’ve ever run into anything comparable. If you pull on that thread long enough you end up in deep esoteric discussions about perception and philosophy and the history of categories/evolution. And whether or not all of that rabbit hole I ended up in is an unrelated tangent or not requires dealing with the same exact problem (which is whether or not the boundaries you’ve placed around something are legitimate/fit your definition, or if they belong somewhere else/you’re missing very important hidden context).
What you describe sounds like: depressed --> move less --> weaker muscles.
It also sounds gradual.

Long Covid is different. covid --> weak muscles.
Also, it is more acute.
Can you elaborate on what's wrong with, "In Texas, non-hispanic whites make up ~30% of births[0], but accounted for only 5% of the population growth[1]?"

I think it'd be awesome if we all had to learn Spanish in some parts of the US. What a boon for cultural diversity that would be! The exchange of ideas would be so good for our shared society.
After reading the page for a bit I don't really understand the fundamental difference to other decentralized systems except for the global public key based identity.

Nostr's relays are simply servers that push and receive structured data. So it's a sort of an email or http like protocol that's by default cryptographically signed? I don't really see the magic that makes it censorship resistant or particularly decentralized. The same networking and economic laws that consolidate internet traffic or mastodon servers are at work here too. Relays get popular, produce a lot of traffic, this spawns "nostr as a service" for economic reasons, and that's about it.

If people want to ban you they'll just blacklist your public key across popular instances just like someone on the fediverse does, companies won't host your stuff, and so on. If anything tying everything to a single global identity makes it more trivial to blacklist anyone.

Oh yeah, certainly, being depressed is correlated with all kinds of changes in biology. I'm not saying it's like "just in your head", but the question is, do those changes lead to being depressed or does being depressed lead to biological changes?

Of course that question is an oversimplification since the answer is certainly some of both; but the prevailing wisdom seems to be that it's mostly/all biological changes leading to feeling depressed, whereas I'm not convinced the scales don't lean more in the other direction, at least on average.

EDIT: but as to your point about stress leading to elevated cortisol levels, to me that's clearly not a biological cause. The cause is stress, and the elevated cortisol levels are an effect of the stress. It's not like the hormone levels just went up all by themselves due to some genetic abnormality or something; if they did, then yeah maybe that's a biological disease that warrants some kind of chemical correction, but that's not at all what we're talking about.
Are there any methods of generating randomness on common platforms — Linux (raw or VM), Windows, MacOS — that are suitable for use as a cryptographic one-time pad?

The definition of this library function seems to suggest that it’s suitable:

> librandombytes aims for the following stringent randomness goal: no feasible computation will ever be able to tell the difference between the output bytes and true randomness (independent uniformly distributed random bytes).

However my understanding is that PRNGs are not a suitable source of randomness for one time pads; that this would reduce OTP encryption to being something like an ad hoc stream cipher.

So some implementations that might look random wouldn’t actually provide a suitable bitstream for this purpose: the bits in the output would be correlated, if in a complex, cryptographically obscure way. (But bits in a one-find pad should all be entirely random and uncorrelated.)

Is that accurate?

Do modern PCs have an efficient way to produce meaningful amounts of true stochastic random data suitable for use with OTP encryption (such as the RDRAND instruction)? What are some good abstractions for producing a stream of random data suitable for use with OTP cryptography?

Edit: this is a question for the sake of curiosity. I realize that practical systems have many threat vectors and that OTP is not a panacea, or even necessarily an improvement.
Thanks! Great question, and I should have been more clear in my terminology. We're more like a site builder + hosting provider than a general platform. The difference is between us hosting them directly i.e. Squarespace, and their presence on a platform where they are in a larger pool of creators and their branding is secondary i.e. Patreon/YouTube.

The key is that even on our lowest tier there is no cross site discovery, the only presence of our branding is in the footer, and their membership list is exportable at any time. As a result the creators feel and communicate that this is entirely "their" site, if that makes sense.
In that case, there's a natural incentive for the leader to do things that make the business successful long-term. It is in their best interest.
Is anyone else upset by how long this page is, or how many well thought out wrong answers there are?
>Phillips screws suck.

I felt this way through my entire engineering life until I bought a sailboat.

Everything on marine stuff tends to be flat-head or similar design -- engaging a flat driver into a slot in a bumpy/roll-y ocean is hell. The self-centering engagement aspect of a cross-socket style drive is absolutely fantastic after a long day of trying to tighten flat-slot fastened tube-clamps and the like at sea during calm conditions, let alone during weather.

That said -- yes, phillips head sucks, they round out and won't handle any decent amount of torque over repeated sessions without deformation. Robertson (square)/allen/torx kind of suck at sea, because they lack any form of self-centering without using special taper drivers.

In a perfect world I think that I would like to use pozi-driv fasteners and drivers everywhere, but the reality is that there are so many types of specialty hardware in use in the marine-world that it would be difficult -- if not impossible -- to switch it all entirely over.
The tricky bit about your comment. "If you're not a lawyer." In this case who's the "You're".
Moving from Python/JS -> Elixir at a startup seems very high risk, have the rewards been worth it? I can imagine issues with hiring, unknown unknowns, and less libraries/support in general.

>That said, if it's such a catastrophically stupid idea, I'm not really sure why it had to be shot down so harshly

The title of the article seems misleading.

A techbro who doesn't appear to be a lawyer or has any understanding of the law wants to use AI so people can defend themselves. It doesn't seem like any of this was done with input from any bar associations. Without seeing the emails and "threats", and ignoring the emotional language it sounds like these people were helping him out:

>"In particular, Browder said one state bar official noted that the unauthorized practice of law is a misdemeanor in some states punishable up to six months in county jail."

Were these emails "angry" or just stating very plainly and with forceful language, that if you do this without the AI having the appropriate qualifications, you are most probably going to jail?

It even sounds like Browder didn't really widely publicise the fact that a case defended by an AI was about to happen.

>As word got out, an uneasy buzz began to swirl among various state bar officials, according to Browder. He says angry letters began to pour in.

Really sounds like these letter writers did him a favour.

> Finally tamed the timing of releasing that db migration without downtime? Here's sidekiq, requiring you to synchronize restarts of several servers

To be fair, this was already an issue whenever you have more than one instance of anything. Whether it's an extra sidekiq or two web servers or anything else, you have a choice of: stop everything and migrate, or split the migration into prepare, update code, finalise migration.

I agree that the C-model is keeping Rust back. But it's ubiquitous and extremely successful. Dynamic linking also practically gives us an ABI (a very simplistic one) for free, which is great for FFI and debugging.

So if I could choose, I'd invest money into a new ABI/linker that reconciles polymorphic languages with separate compilation without demanding a uniform object model. Not only Rust would benefit from such a linker.

I have no complete solution for how such a thing might work, but I think it's possible because the actual specializations that stem from monomorphization are very few. It might simply be possible to create one function for every possible monomorphization ahead of time. Even if this turns out to be futile, the actual specialization only needs to change very few things in the code, so monomorphization could effectively be handled by a dynamic linker.
I wouldn't pay too much attention to what "the webdev industry is doing". That's how we ended up with MBs worth of javascript to display a simple website, not to mention the cpu required to render single page apps that won't even let you open a separate tab and constantly break.

Most people in this industry are either junior devs that have no idea what they're doing, mid level devs that fall for the hype and don't like "boring" tech (battle tested, reliable) and end up using stuff that's not even production ready, and senior devs that overengineer and optimize prematurely.

Just keep on your path and don't pay attention to the dummies. PHP is great and will never die.
Throughout history almost all skills have been learned/copied from other people. Especially things like art are learned by studying previous work.

"I'm not sure..."
When I worked retail sales you definitely saw different return rates on different SKUs. I tried to collect data for a college project but the sample size was too small. (My class was in the spring, and sales boomed in the fall)

I was always surprised that the company didn’t do that, as they definitely lost alot of money to shrink and exceptions for high fail devices. At one point the company self-funded warranties, so a lemon had to kill profitability.
Not sure. But I think SQLite won't look at contributions from non-public domain countries. I mean, they aren't really open to contributions anyhow, but being public domain was mentioned to me by Richard as a mistake they made that they've had to deal with.

Japan imports a great deal of it's energy and food supplies. If reliant solely upon it's own ecological means, the human population it could support would be far less.

Does that make Japan a proportional hoarder of the global ecology's food and energy resources, by virtue of it's high population?

Or does your concept of proportionality only apply at the individual scale?
This sets off my BS detector. If true, there is a bigger underlying problem
Because consumer protection is nonexistent and it's easier to just go with Digitec/Galaxus where you already have an account than figuring out if this dealer is trustworthy, shipping in a reasonable timeframe, and whether they will be a PITA to sign up with.
The key is that Rust lets you define safe interfaces, so you can separate your data races and union juggling, which need to be unsafe, from your business logic, which basically never needs to be unsafe.
no, it was made of rings of polythene (I think) plumbing pipe, which were then split. they just twisted the ring so the split opened, linked as needed, then let the twist go. Then metal coated everything. The people doing it wore their fingerprints away over the years (literally) they were doing this

>This kind of problem isn't just because of search, it's also because of content creators.

See I think this becomes chicken/egg real quick too, though I do think Google is more to blame. Content creators are responding to the incentives google created. Think back to when sites would have all sorts of keywords buried in metadata and/or have blogs that were complete nonsense full of keywords that weren't easily findable on their sites. They did it because they were rewarded. So what did google do? They penalized it, and voila! It stopped. This was like...2014? Maybe earlier?

Ultimately if google wants better search results they need to go back to the drawing board. They need to disincentivize blog spam.
The world-average ecological footprint in 2016 was 2.75 global hectares per person, a deficit of 1.1 hectares per person, or 40%. Unsustainability isn't some vague future concept or possibility. It's already here.

The ecological inertia of the entire homo sapiens species is already too great to be behaviourally overcome within the timeframes necessary to avert significantly disruptive climate change.

The growth trend cannot continue at it's recent historical rates.

Smart ovens do dumb stuff to check for Wi-Fi
AWS has been aggressive in .NET support in the last couple of years: https://aws.amazon.com/developer/language/net/
Atomic clocks are less reliable and require more expensive circuitry. Everyone has wifi and a simple SOC that has everything needed to run the oven, display, and do WIFI at the same time can be found for pennies. Plus, internet connected is a selling point.
I think there is a pretty big difference though. In the case of sampling you can play the original against the new media and show that they are 'the same'. I have no idea how you would go about doing something similar for Stable Diffusion. "Those three pixels look different when you remove image X from the training set" is probably not a convincing argument to anyone.
Well then, a surprising number of states are despotic, because deliberative process privilege is indeed textbook public records law.
I don't have much experience but after writing some tiny rust scripts and similar sized things in kotlin (trying kotlinc v1.7 that was supposed to be a lot faster than previous versions), rust managed to stay ahead.

it's true golang is smoother, but the language is a lot messier (idioms and typechecking).

Can't conclude anything yet, but it makes me think back of rust more often than others.
Haven't taken into account that article talks about actual photography and arts, not written or printed text... That is a different story.
I also would choose Elixir/Phoenix. Having spent my career in Python/Django, Elixir/Phoenix/Live View is on another level of productivity.

For anyone needing a reason to jump into Elixir, take 40 minutes and watch this talk [1] by Sasa Juric. He communicates things so well as to all the benefits of Elixir/Erlang/BEAM.

Then take the time to read Elixir in Action book (again, Sasa) and you'll be off to the races.

You're assuming morals play any role in the modern world of extreme partisan politics. If the last 6 years has proven anything, it's that partisan affiliation is more powerful than morals or good governance for at least 40% of the US population.
Paulina Porizkova, the iconic Czech-born supermodel, recently shared a stunning beach selfie on her Instagram account, showing off her natural beauty and radiant skin. In the photo, Porizkova is seen lounging on a beach chair, wearing a white sundress and a wide-brimmed hat, with her hair styled in loose waves. She is not wearing any makeup, but her skin looks flawless, with a healthy glow and minimal imperfections. The photo has quickly gone viral, with fans praising Porizkova for embracing her natural beauty and looking stunning at the age of 56.

It depends on whether you want to perfectly represent the article or make the threads less of a debacle. I'd dial the title way back if you care more about the latter.
Doctors -- and the wider medical systems they're part of -- are certainly not perfect. I think there are issues with the American health system (if it's even meaningful to refer to "a system" there) that are crying out for reform and improvement.

But your sort of inflammatory comments are neither accurate nor helpful. That's just mud-slinging to try and score cheap points.

[Edited to add:] To quote from your own link above:

> The researchers caution that most of medical errors aren’t due to inherently bad doctors, and that reporting these errors shouldn’t be addressed by punishment or legal action. Rather, they say, most errors represent systemic problems, including poorly coordinated care, fragmented insurance networks, the absence or underuse of safety nets, and other protocols, in addition to unwarranted variation in physician practice patterns that lack accountability.

IMO, "killed by a doctor fucking up" is not a fair summary of that.
Well, the article clearly states that the asteroid is of no risk on impacting Earth and even if the asteroid entered our atmosphere it would most likely disintegrate into bits and pieces, considering the size estimated to be 11.5 to 28 feet (3.5 to 8.5 meters) across; I would say it's harmless..

The Go compiler is barely an optimizing compiler. Rust needs massive amounts of inlining to avoid the performance cost of abstractions, and after inlining the code needs to be cleaned up. In this respect it isn't unlike C++.
This experience is mostly about how you see docker used, not any specific property of it. Both Capistrano and Docker can be used for deploys with or without interruptions. Both can be immediate or take minutes. The tool itself won't save you from bad usage.
