>> If practice is the single most important factor, then e.g. exam scores should be a function of time spent studying, and not of the test taker.

I'm not sure that he is. Me and my kids tended to ace tests without studying, often with the barest understanding of the material (that vanished soon after).

I'd guess his solution might be to have a complex representative problem to solve as proof of knowledge. Have it ready at the beginning of the course and as soon as kids can solve it, they're done.

Unfortunately, this doesn't line up with predetermined schedules which tend to dominate every mm of schooling.
> There is something strange going on if an offer offends you. Perhaps a fundamental misunderstanding of what price represents?

Offers definitely can be offensive. E.g. you interview for a corporate software engineering role and get an offer to work for minimum wage, well below market. You won't take the offer of course, but how would it make someone feel?
Fantastic for NSFW content.
That's quite an uninformed leap.
> I would've thought a larger fleet of smaller planes would be less efficient because it increases operational cost and you have more overhead weight to move around.

You'd be wrong. Airline bosses (Willie Walsh? Almost sure it was him) have said it literally costs less to have two 787 fly one after the other than a single A380. The fuel efficiency of twin engine planes compared to 3 or 4 older engines compensates for the lower capacity.
Yeah. I don't write those.
Is there some VM that allows limiting the CPU to a performance similar to a P4? (A PIII is way too bad for my tastes.)

I imagine Linux would have a bad time running in it.
Seems like Safari has quite naive element.append(...list) implementation and/or "destructuring to argv" operation is slow there.

I suspect that element.append(...list) is just a

for(auto arg : args)
element.append(arg);

so no transaction there at all - slower version of case #3.

On Windows I am testing it in Edge, Chrome and FF.
Edge and Chrome show close numbers (#1 fastest). FF shows #3 is faster - same problem as Safari I think.
Jumbo jets are not being retired. That term applies to any airplane with two aisles between the seats or a "wide body". Currently produced examples from Boeing are the 767, 777 and 787. The 747 is simply not economical when compared to those newer airframes. Mot of the final run of 747s and I believe of those still in operation are used for cargo operations, this was an expected outcome even in the 1960s, although for different reasons. For airlines it is about running the plane at capacity and minimizing time on the ground. Airlines choose specialized models for the routes they run. The super jumbos are simply too big to be practical or economical.

How do you know 'academics and reporters' are 'telling the truth?

Academics tend to be driven to where the grant funding points them, while the line between public relations and journalism has never been more blurred.

Some kind of real time AI analysis of all available data points would be really valuable for 'truth' were that ever possible...
I don't see them as having any major credibility gap personally. Until the crazy chipageddon stuff started (which, BTW, affected the entire industry) I was routinely to buy Raspbery Pi 4 Model B boards at (approximately) MSRP. Same for the Pi 3 before that.

Call me crazy, but I don't have any problem believing that things will get back to normal soon, and that Pi's of various sorts will indeed return to MSRP, or very near MSRP.

It happens to the best of us. Personally, I don't think 30 is all that old, but I am cranky.

I did a LinkedIn poll last week of what people would pay for ChatGPT Plus. Small N and limited to my social network, but I think it shows that $20 isn't the right final price and code generation isn't the best use case:

ChatGPT is exploring a paid model. What's the most that would you/your employer would be willing to pay per user for a ChatGPT subscription?

It's fun, but not worth money 14 (35%)
<$20 / month 14 (35%)
$20 - $99 / month 2 ( 5%)
$100+ / month 10 (25%)

What's interesting is that in general the $0 people are less technical, the <$20 people are largely mid-level engineers, and the $100+ people are either Director+ level or in investing/finance.

Talking to people in that top bucket, they've found that it is excellent at doing first drafts of documentation and business correspondence and can save them significant mental energy every day - and it doesn't require the exactness of generated code. They're basically using it as an Outlook/Word extension. That's not how the ChatGPT product is positioned on chat.openai.com. I think this is going to be absolutely massive for generic white collar work.

Yes.

> It's pretty close.

No, its not, even in its narrow domain, whose narrowness by itself demonstrates its not anything like a near-human-level intelligence.

> Its not always correct but neither are humans.

Its a very good text generator, and is very useful. Its nothing even similar to a human-level intelligence.
Some of the turns are way too tight to be done by the autopilot. But it looks very regular, so I would suspect some custom control system was used. Would also be interested to know how they did this!
What I'm doing is building a self hostable OpenAI alternative to help bring the AI costs down https://text-generator.io I've also been thinking of lots of other forms of content generation like 3d etc.

You have to be careful with the rate technology progresses and be the one riding the wave of progress and not left behind.

At this point we best believe there will be robots capable of doing near everything we can, but better including sports, trades, war, looking after people, and these are not that far away and will happen in our or kids lifetimes.

Don't listen to the nay sayers, people used to argue hard that computers would never play chess, humans will keep redefining the goalposts including creating new distinctions of what intelligence is like the difference between thinking and writing until machines are just plain better than us at all of it and we will invent a whole bunch of hateful slurs for them

I believe you. That approach endangers children, has no scientific basis, and will be stopped in the courts. Kids do not have the capacity to make permanent, life-altering decisions about fertility or sexuality. They do not and cannot understand the implications and consequences of their actions. Responsible adults must safeguard them into adulthood.
Dunno, I got a complete working rk3588 with 8GB ram for $139 in a nicely machined metal fanless case, that just needs a modest usb-c power supply. I could have gotten it caseless for $20 less.

So it's silent, reasonably fast, and enough ram to run everything Iv'e tried. Software compatibility has been good, my first choice of OS worked (Ubuntu 22.04 LTS), compiling rust and go "just worked", and it's a decent little server.

So generally smaller, quieter, more efficient, and lower power than whatever plastic encased random mini PC. I think I'd have a problem getting something nicer and cheaper in a PC, even used.

I think you're failing to make a distinction between equipment that is critical to your job and equipment that simply helps you by making it more enjoyable and comfortable. Yes, the company should buy the equipment that is critical. Could I actually do my job on a 19" monitor? Yes, absolutely. Could I do it at a desk with no personal effects or decorations? Yes, absolutely. Both the monitor upgrade and pictures of my kids are things that are worth the expense to me to make the job more enjoyable. Would it be nice if the company sprang for enormous monitors for everyone? Yes indeed, that would be something to applaud. Is it necessary? No.
Metaprogramming does not require dynamic types, but this post seems to equate them. As far as I can see all this could be done in e.g. Java (and probably is).

IME this kind of "magic" very quickly loses its appeal when you have to debug it. The author's idea of libraries wrapping this stuff up so users don't have to care about it just doesn't pan out at all in my experience.

I am a software engineer with experience as both a Full Stack Software Engineer and as platforms/support/infrastructure for Machine Learning/Data Science. My specialization right now is in cloud/web based architecture (rather than desktop applications), and I am very familiar with AWS and CI/CD pipelines.

I am a huge proponent of test-driven code (BDD or TDD), and I also have enjoyed using automation tools for QA or UI/UX testing.
Don’t know why you are downvoted. It is common to be called a “fence sitter” if you aren’t completely aligned with views of one of the US parties.

On the first team I work on, we had a guy who had a very serious headshot. Apparently the people at the security desk that day didn't know what they were doing and took so long he was going to be late to an important meeting. It ended up looking like a mugshot. Every time someone new joined, we had to tell them he was actually a nice guy and explain the "mugshot". A few people over the years admitted that they were intimidated by that photo. Funny stuff.

Not at all. The weird stuff is well heard and has a large cultural impact. You'll have no problem finding countless examples of weird things that have been viewed and interacted with by hundreds of thousands or even millions of people. Compare that to say a punk band in the 80s that may have only had a few thousand people ever see it perform, or even the entire hippie movement which was only about half a million people at its peak.

Yeah, these things are still smaller and less impactful than the mainstream culture, but that's what it means to be a counterculture.

> That's because Qt 6 wholeheartedly converted to CMake for you.

It's not Qt6. The same goes for Qt5, which has been around for what, close to a decade?

And what's your point, exactly? That things are hard if you purposedly ignore all the examples that prove that things are patently easy and trivial? Because it seems evident to me that if you want to quickly setup a C++ project to try out stuff, a CMake project with single-digit lines of code that get you a window with an OpenGL context going is right what you'd be looking for.

But instead you complain that the choice of build system and framework made things easy? And that's why things are not hard

What exactly do you think is your point?
People have dealt with far worse than what we’ve got going on now, and most of them still died of old age and accidents - depending on what you define old age and accidents being of course.

Cancer survival rates and overall incidence rates are pretty good in the US, and frankly seem to have zero correspondence with use of plastic.

It’s also predominantly older folks. I’ve seen data that indicates it’s nearly certain for a man to get prostate cancer if he gets old enough, for instance.

Yes but it is much harder to scrape and replicate a site’s essence if the instructions are laced in a story and the essence includes the story.

Merely copying the recipes in a popular cookbook would not make for a bestseller.
Bullet point #1 here doesn't get enough credit either in this article or generally here on HN comments, but is a major factor.

A lot of the recipe blogs that originated this form of long-winded stories leading into the eventual recipe have regular readers. Many of those readers aren't looking for specific recipes at any given time they are looking for the stories first. Those stories are the real content to those regular readers. (And regular readers with their recurring ad revenue/demographics are the ones that pay the bills, ultimately, not "went searching for a specific recipe" utilitarian users.)

This isn't even a new phenomenon in recipes pop culture, because food TV shows learned this decades ago. Most cooking shows break down into two categories: competitions (which mostly never even give recipes) and "lifestyle" shows that may include recipes but just as much include the "celebrity chefs" chatting as much about who they are and what is going on in their lives and storytelling why the recipes in question were of interest in that moment as much as the details of the recipes themselves.

This isn't even an isolated phenomenon to recipes. It is common, modern parasocial behavior. You could look at something like Twitch as a utilitarian resource to see gameplay or learn tips/tricks, but obviously nearly every stream is full of streamers chatting about their day while they wait for game lobbies or in between other parts of gameplay and whatever tips/tricks they may have to impart. It's the parasocial "human interest" that builds the biggest and most reliable parts of their audiences (and in turn most of their revenue).

There are a lot of reasons people complain about it a lot more with recipe bloggers than Twitch streamers.

The 747 IMO is the most beautiful aircraft ever, certainly the most beautiful civilian aircraft.

A couple of years ago, I made it a point on an international trip with my kids to book seats for us on the upper deck. It was really awesome, and I am sure they will look back on it as a great memory.

If you are able to, before it is too late, I would encourage doing it.

Fuel economy is one piece of the puzzle. Another major piece is that passengers prefer the flexibility offered by smaller, more frequent flights instead of larger, less frequent flights.

First of all, I’d like to make a distinction between monarchists and royalists. Monarchists is a political group with certain believes around the structure of the government. Royalists on the other hand is a cultural group that enjoys certain events.

If you look at the cultural artifacts of royalists you’ll find they enjoy and attend events around, for example royal weddings, they gather in forums where they share gossip around, e.g. the Romanovs. It doesn’t matter if they like to keep Putin as president, or if they would like to re-inaugurate the Romanovs as tsars, as political believes are orthogonal to the culture (although I do admit it would be kind of weird to find an anarchist royalist). To that extent I think of royalists more like Eurovision fans.

Likewise if you look at the quintessential prison abolitionist Angela Davis. Now describe her speech, her hairstyle, her public events, etc. You’ll find many prison abolitionists that don’t share any of it, however if you’ll look for people that share these cultural artifacts, you’ll find a bunch of radicals. Radicals is exactly the cultural group which I would ascribe Angela Davis as belonging to.
> any new framework that didn't solve the problem VDOM did in some way, was dead on arrival.

Most frameworks before and after React were solving that problem one way or another.

The reason React won was that V = f(S) turned out to be most user-friendly solution. VDOM is exactly what Rich is saying: a means to efficiently implement V = f(S)

Vue/MobX are another, better iteration on the same idea. Svelte, arguably, is even better iteration.
