With AI, we can only ever emulate the intellectual aspect of human understanding, completely forgoing the intuitive aspect, which is equally important.

You have to be careful here because people will give you/expect emergent behavior to pick up the slack, and then you get a language that has barely any syntax or semantics and all of the functionality comes from stringing a bunch of NewSpeak-looking bullshit together into a system that would make Rube Goldberg suicidal.

As simple as possible, but no simpler.

How is password based encryption not secure?

OP here. My kids know "Mommy doesn't like Google." If we were totally restrictive and opaque about it, it might feel like living in a cult. But I use data privacy techniques to teach our kids about how systems work, where data flows, how computers process information, and how to implement home-grown alternatives. Otherwise they'll think an Alexa "just works" when they talk to it, or that they're a "digital native" just because they can swipe on a gesture-based interface. They will grow up and make their own choices: my hope is to prepare them with a better understanding of how systems work under the hood, a richer grasp of the history of surveillance in society--and a relatively clean slate data trail.
But who determines what is "OK by the Bible?" A plain reading of it shows a number of clear contradictions, so we naturally can't rely on the verbatim text. Not to mention there is more than one version of the Bible itself.

That leaves it up to personal interpretation and opinion. Considering that the overall message of Christianity is supposedly something about "love and grace" the not transphobic opinions are a lot more compelling.

This is a really weak retort. Only with linux is buying hardware a minefield where it's common to blame the purchaser for "not doing the research" or knowing what chipset(!) is in some piece of consumer hardware. Meanwhile, this problem simply doesn't exist on the two main desktop competitors.

It's been this way for 30 years.

And yes, this counts for "fully supported" hardware.

Yes, thank you! That is what the latter half of the first paragraph is about - we make judgement calls about the tradeoffs involved with a crutch all the time.

The point isnt to accept a heuristic that points one way or another, but to be conscious about it being a choice that we can make that can have various trade offs along a spectrum. As usual figuring out what trade offs to make is highly dependent on what your goals are.
For me, ChatGPT also has a psychological benefit. It makes me feel like there’s someone that I can fall back on when I‘m stuck. It might be wrong (often the bot is not super helpful), but this is not about rationality.
'Everything' may be labelled or described as 'highly important and #urgent#' but they may not correspond to reality.

In a sufficiently large and complex organization there will always be some percentage, neither 0% nor 100%, of actually 'highly important and #urgent#' hidden among the pretenders.

The point of any such tracking system is to discover, via positive or negative selection, what is actual instead of what various flawed humans pretend.

I think that this article and the discussion around it are more of a condemnation of the way GitHub Actions and similar software works rather than a generic “releasing software is hard”. One of the first things this guy mentioned in the article is that he went down this route because GHA sucks and he can’t run it locally (I know about act, but it ain’t a solution for everything)

I realize you’ve probably thought about this a lot since I know you as the guy who wrote “mazzle” and posted about it here a few months ago. I wish more CI systems worked closer to the thing you designed.

Emacs owes you nothing. It doesn't promise you riches, magical powers or a kingdom in heaven. It's a complex tool, and like any other tool, it requires time, patience and determination to comprehend it. You decided you don't have any of that to spare, so at least have some courage to respect those who made a different choice.

> Nobody gives a crap about good developer experience

The world owes you nothing. Especially, tools like Emacs and Vim. Tools that are absolutely and completely free to get, free to use and free to distribute.

> Almost nobody sees technology as a beast to be tamed and made to do work

That is exactly why I use Emacs. Because I want to feel in control. I am a damn computer programmer, and when the computer doesn't do exactly as I want, yes, I get mad. Emacs gives me a sense of control. You feel differently? Well, then it's you; don't blame Emacs for that.
As someone who regularly visits the parks and resorts, I don’t understand what they do with all this data. I use the iOS Disney+ app and their website to make reservations, and don’t attempt to block most of their ad tracking and telemetry. I’ve probably made 50+ visits to the Orlando parks and resorts in the last 3 years and our family spends considerable sums of money on their concessions.

So why does every restaurant host and hotel employee ask if it is our first time at the restaurant/hotel? And why doesn’t the app use historical data to promote experiences we are likely to enjoy? Why do they always ask where we are from, if we are parking a vehicle, and whether we (still) have food allergies or preferences?

Saving these preferences could save dozens of person-hours per family vacation and would not be difficult to implement, or at least to try.

I believe they, like many companies, are just hoarding the data in the hope that one day Someone will come and figure out how to squeeze it or sell because Data Science. Or maybe it will become sentient and some creature will crawl out from the ocean of primordial data ooze.

The meta-lesson for anyone reading this, is that changing people's minds when they are grounded in self-interest belief, is next to impossible. Bartle knew he was on a fools errand, and went into it with low expectations.

It's interesting to see exemplifiers of the kind of 'this contradicts my interior logic so I shall ignore it' behaviour from the participants. They look very plausible.

I think AGW denialism and pre-AGW fury, the people trying to deal with religious objections to evolution had this in spades: no amount of good logic and reasoning can overcome somebody who is determined to recast what "time" means to make the fossil record align with God's work over 6 days.

The "we don't want to pay tax" movement, loves in-game NFT type value transfer precisely because they believe there cannot, will not be any intrusion of tax levying bodies into the space.

Sharing your goods in runescape is not invisible transfer of wealth, and speaking to each other in runescape is not secret communication. 12 year olds know this. Maybe grown-ups need to remind themselves of it from time to time?

Welcome to high end academic neuroscience. It's a place where banal, but completely rational explanations are to be ignored in favour of hyperbole and media hype. The study will have been designed to only allow for publishable results. Anyone who understands the hardware involved will certainly question how this "entrainment" was achieved.

You acknowledge in the first sentence that compile times are back in line with Go 1.17 (i.e. pre generics), yet you claim that generics mean slower compile times.
> Everything is an object in Python too.

Ah yes, true. JavaScript goes one step further though, and has no distinction between get-item accesses and attribute accesses. This makes TypeScript's data model much simpler to manage. Is it even possible to implement your own `MutableMapping` or `dataclasses` equivalent type in Python? I know the latter requires custom plugins.
I often favour music without lyrics because it's less distracting in an office environment, so music by international artists doesn't bother me at all - might even be preferable. More interesting for my kids to hear international influences if we're listening in the car too.

UX and general performance.

- In general, most things are implemented with even worse design and UX/UI taste than before. Example: Drop-down/context menus have these dead zones between every row, a few pixels tall, for no particular reason where no row is highlighted. That particular thing was driving me up the wall. It just makes no sense.

A person could have made billions.

If only that person could have known which of the umpteen million counter cultures was going to be successful! /s

Identifying counter cultures is trivial. Knowing which one will become mainstream in the always uncertain future is unimaginably difficult. Empires have fallen because people bet on the wrong counter culture.

There are some similarities of successful counter cultures through history. Loose organization. Ease of understanding. Low financial cost of participation. And extreme inclusiveness.

Fortunately for empires, princes, and presidents, counter cultures and movements with all those attributes don't come along all that often.
> Although LISP is one of the most powerful tools available ... the format of the input language (S-expression) is awkward to use -- so awkward that many errors in programming LISP stem directly from the fact that S-expressions are the only allowable form of input.

If all you take are short-term measurements, then this would seem to be true. In my experience, the longer-term results are more achievable then popular thinking might suggest.
In which languages were the results correct? I would assume Python as I've been told it was more prevalent in the training corpus.
Fair enough. Though I guess where that leads me is that by encouraging that level of interaction, this medium may still be leading to the state OP is concerned about. You suggested OP might be reductionist - but if that’s the case, it’s evidence of a spiral downwards into reductionism that’s driven by decontextualization. OP sees reductionism, then ends up reinforcing it, so to speak.

And if we accept that, then OP’s premise seems likely to be true if most HN users are doing most of their “social” engagement in decontextualized spaces like this one, rather than remaining rooted in community and the fullness of others’ humanity.
"But most people today aren’t learning the times tables, and long division. They just use a calculator."

Let me fix that for you:

Most people learn the times table, and long division. Then they just use a calculator.

The American 5 paragraph essay is an extraordinary artificial academic construct, completely divorced from the real world. It aims to be systematically taught and systematically graded, during the developing stages of education where it is often difficult to get students to express any written thoughts at all.

Using it outside of that context is a mistake. Composing a real-world essay is an exercise in considering an audience, preparing suitable arguments, making points more or less firmly, and hopefully providing some value.

I wish I could've been succinct, but it was only through progressive iteration that I could narrow down the exact thing that was getting under my skin and give relevant examples (I've read hundreds of self-help books that were absolute garbage but had useful tidbits here and there).

So I thank you for continuing to act with and assume good intent until we reached this point.
That’s incredibly naive. ChatGPT is not the state of the art. Not even close.
The 670 nm light devices were supplied by CH electronics (UK) and based on commercial DC torches with nine 670 nm LEDs mounted behind a light diffuser so that energies at the cornea were approximately 8 mW/cm2. 670 nm light was delivered down a white internally reflecting tube that fitted over the eye with an internal diameter of 3.2 cm. Based on subject’s perception the region of the retina illuminated was centred on the macular and extended into the equator but did not include the far periphery. Estimates of the exact retinal region of illumination are hard to derive because the pupil will variably close in response to the light. However, 670 nm will penetrate the iris33 and this will most likely be associated with scatter. The energy delivered at this wavelength is less than a log unit greater than that found in environmental light17.

So.. based on commercially available LED technology.
