Insane seems to me an obviously an intentionally dramatic word choice of GP, but it seems clear to me that the answer is “because subsequent runs the same program would produce the same sequence of random numbers.” This violates my personal intuition and assumptions about a programming language’s standard lib RNG behavior.

Not a Go programmer though but that was my understanding.

Prejudiced is exactly the correct word to use, as you’re stating a preconceived judgment. Expressing an opinion would be different, you’re simply stating a controversial point of view as if it were a fact, and attempting to reframe the debate based upon the presupposition.

But most people today aren’t learning the times tables, and long division. They just use a calculator.

Most young people don’t know how to write by hand anymore, cursive or whatever. They rely on spellcheck and grammar checks. I’m talking native US citizens

So why would they know how to compose an essay? They just text short form things. Even “important” business people fire off misspelled emails with bad grammar as a status symbol, so now ChatGPT will be the status symbol. Putting effort into making a properly worded email actually shows lower status in business negotiations — because if you can’t be bothered to spend time, you are a bigshot with many deals and can walk away at any moment.
Didn't someone just go to jail for this? They were sending invoices to google, fb, and a bunch of other companies, who did actually pay it. Then one day they realized the invoices were for nothing, no services rendered.

So, be careful with your trolling. It might come back to bite you someday, sir or ma'am.

Not quite the same, but it's in the same ballpark. It's a big deal to send fake invoices to companies, even if you believe they're legit.
I have been monitoring Reddit threads for a few months ever since the 5900x and 6800/6900 APU variants started shipping. Unfortunately there don’t seem to be any mainstream vendors in this space, so you’re essentially dealing with small Chinese companies with no support structure, who have… unusual concepts about board design and cooling, and who manufacture in small batches. The yields on those things are statistically not good in general.
Honestly, they’ll probably offer some enterprise offering where data sent to the model will be contained and abide by XYZ regulation. But for hobbyist devs, think this won’t be around for a while
This is a good point, but I don’t think it’s as strong an indicator as, say, Uber selling rides below cost. I have a Quest headset which I now play a single game on, and I don’t generally game. I’ve shown an interest in the overall market.

It’s not as though it’s an obvious deal for me to use, like ride sharing or food deliver.
In a correctly plumbed system there should not be a significant pressure differential on the hot and cold sides. When done correctly (upsized feed from the utility) with balanced loops or a manifold flushing the toilet shouldn't effect shower pressure or temperature at all.

I can testify to that because in our house it works that way. The only time a shower is affected is when filling the large bathtub - which fills much faster than in most homes because it has a very large feed but that's the tradeoff since there isn't enough volume from the utility in that one case. Otherwise people can flush toilets, use the kitchen sink, wash clothes, etc and showers are not affected whatsoever.

Another factor is insulation - even many modern homes don't insulate the hot water pipes so even with an instant hot water heater that responds quickly you still have to pay the lost heat cost of warming the pipes and everything the pipes touch before the temperature fully stabilizes. This is a cost-saving measure - there is no reason the pipes couldn't be insulated. If you throw in a recirc pump then you can have instant hot water at every tap with very low energy cost.
Most of these countercultural ideologies confront oppressive bigotry in the status quo. 4chan is using bigotry against the status quo. Opposition alone is not the important dimension here.

> Now, perhaps with the advent of LLMs, that's no longer true. Perhaps in the near future, the ability to generate coherent prose "by hand" will be thought of in the same way we think of someone who can do long division in their head: a neat party trick, but not applicable to any real-world use.

Except that AI would be hard pressed to become a part of the in-circles of waves of new generations of artists and writers, who create new literature in part through being part of new literary movements. In a way AI is closer to God than to people, in their omni-ness. Unless ChatGPT eats and craps and needs to find a job, find love, find friends, loses things, installs tinder, gets hurt, and has its life literally threatened (even just once in a lifetime--whatever that means for LLM), it cannot be a wholesome part of society and thus react to political change by creating new modes of writing. Because of that, AI will forever play catchup with the new tendencies in human literature and art.

Unless AIs dominate consumption and pay for their Netflix subscription, of course.
And don't make the mistake of thinking, oh, if I don't have Windows 11 Pro, I don't have BitLocker.

Windows has been rolling out, on some processors and configurations, a feature called "Device Encryption." Which is basically BitLocker except it is on by default, included in Windows 11 Home, and escrows a copy of your key to your Microsoft Account (which makes the MSA requirement for "more security" make a little more sense)...
Its due to the fast falling cost of fake. Today, of course, its much easier to fake 50 or so hours of footage to look like going to the moon.

But back in 1969, it was way easier to just go to the damn moon than it would have been to fake the video sent back.

Even in Kubrik's 2001, there was no effort at all to film, say, even what walking looks like on the moon--even in the shots which putatively happen on the moon--even in the shots which happen indoors on the moon! It just would have been too expensive. This in a film in which they went all-out to create awesome special effects.

Don't worry about exclusivity if you can create more than one. The world's population won't descend on the one city with exclusivity, but the broader number will descend on each city's zoo presenting a fresh new exhibit like this. Far more than $200/daily multiplied by the many zoos around the world.

Think about how China manages pandas with zoos around the world. The pandas in my hometown zoo got a lot of press and attention. I've never seen them, but their names are generally common knowledge. Struggle to remember the names of some of my friends' kids, but I can remember bloody Wang Wang and Fu Ni.

It is great that Go1.20 improves compile times after generics were added in Go1.18 [1]!

Overall, I think adding generics to Go was a big mistake. It brings the following drawbacks:

- Slower compile times, even if generics aren't used. This slows down development pace in Go.

- The reduced code readability if generics are used. This slows down development pace in Go.

- The increased complexity of Go compiler. This slows down Go compiler development and increases chances for bugs.

- Very low adoption of generics in practice, since they aren't useful in most Go code bases. The generics are actively used in some freaky packages only after the year since they were released in Go1.18.

The only useful thing from Go generics is a syntactic sugar, which allows replacing `interface{}` with `any`.

I think it's just a matter of people being results driven. For many purposes, it doesn't matter how the output is generated - if it works, it works. If an AI lawyer can (actually, consistently) achieve better outcomes for its clients, then does it matter that the AI doesn't have a life story behind it? Probably not to the client. (The fact that so many HNers think that ChatGPT can do that probably reflects a lack of understanding of the legal process on their part, but as HNers are mostly not lawyers, that's not that surprising.)

The other possibility is that some HNers can tend to look down on people in non-tech fields and so, maybe, HNers have a reductive view of some human beings. I don't see nearly as much excited discussion of programmers being replaced by AI as lawyers, for example.

> For the most part, the dams don't ultimately effect how much water comes down the Colorado--please correct if I'm wrong.

Large lakes increase evaporation rate of water. I think something like 10% of the allotted flow for the Colorado River is lost due to evaporation in Lake Powell and Lake Mead.
How true is this? In civilizations past such as the Romans you could cut off the heads like the emperor and it would be unchanged for millions. In china when the communists defeated the Manchus, some villagers were amazed these people defeated what they thought was the Ming dynasty.

Khomeini was killed, Trump isn't president anymore and Iran's military and the right haven't died. In tech, Bell Labs is 'demonopolized' yet it's parts have become stronger.

I disagree that the it dies with true believers. It decays and reforms and even gets stronger.

95% of what you write in Svelte is just HTML. You then databind whatever you need using an obscenely lightweight syntax.

Svelte also has an optional SRS framework called SvelteKit that auto creates REST endpoints for you, and auto binds stuff to them, but all that is optional and not needed.

My issue with backend HTML templates is that essentially you always have to know HTML + CSS anyway because browsers suck and they still have differences, so I always end up spending a ton of time fixing CSS and HTML issues. Having to fix HTML issues by way of the backend that then generates HTML feels like an unneeded abstraction.

Instead I can just... write HTML and CSS.

The point I was aiming for was that learning with a crutch is still learning. I interpreted Avicebron's comment as "real programmers code in binary" and you are "unworthy" if you can build a CMake system without having written a Makefile manually in your life.

But after your comment, a lot of what I see around me are crutches. The keyboard I type on, the heated building I'm in. They really help me perform "normal" functions, and living without them would be a handicap, so they are crutches.

But I see no point in purposely living without them. Live your life, and don't force yourself to do something you don't like unnecessarily.
I have never seen this screen. Why don't you just click the "Keep Windows 10" button? But TBH, I wish the same from many other projects. Update python 2->3 was really painful for the whole community.

Mirage 2000, Rafale, and Typhoon were/are all arguably designed with a huge emphasis on energy maneuverability, which is also only meant for dogfights according to postings on internet forums. And there are plenty of other isolated ways you could argue the reverse of the US showing restraint in ways others don't, such as Europe's love for delta wings (rejected most recently when the F-35 was first considered), or the Russkies' obsession with supermaneuverability, which the US has barely even considered sane enough for demonstrators. In terms of "mawr dakka", too, assuming you're referring to the A-10, that honor also belongs not to the US, per popular opinion, but to the Soviets in the MiG-27. You've just never heard of it because they wanted to fire essentially the same projectile in a slightly bigger casing at 2000 more rounds per minute, which the airframe simply couldn't handle reliably, and were also limited in the battles they did see due to an unusual weakness to ground fire as opposed to the A-10's unusual resiliency. And besides that, the US also built the F-111 and F-117 as an explicit alternative to light air attack craft.

The only "American thing" that really exists in modern military history is a tendency to do more things than everyone else. The US has NIH-ed their way into pretty much every military technology that's been hypothesized by someone not wearing a tinfoil hat and raving about Nikola Tesla or Leonardo Da Vinci. The public hears about questions like dogfighting and firepower in US aircraft because the US is one of the only countries in the world whose military actively seeks out (or at least sought out, there's some argument that the F-35 is the beginning of the end) multiple home-grown variants of military equipment, especially aircraft, that are expected to compete both on economic and doctrinal value as actual service craft for continuing contracts, rather then just proving ground test beds. More chances to change preference, more chances for contracts, more argument, more buzz filtering into newspapers. In contrast, we're probably not going to talk much about if stealth is a Finnish thing or whatever else for quite some time after this. Perhaps the American thing is spending lots of money, but a full assessment doesn't really allow for more specifics than that.
Sketch of a design to solve this:

Company can upload some prompts to OpenAI, and be given 'prompt tokens'.

Then companies client side app can run a query with '<prompt_token>[user data]<other_prompt_token>'. They may have a delegated API key which has limits applied - for example, may only use this model, must always start with this prompt.

That really reduces the privacy worries of using all these third party companies.

I can believe in arguments for crypto as a counter-culture, personally. Both in terms of building on the cypherpunk legacy, and also in "utopian visions meet experienced reality" with the associated ups and downs. The hippies had visible lives and lifestyles, and pieces of that entered the mainstream and became influential.

The difference is that there is, and intentionally so, little legibility to how crypto "does" anything. Increasingly so as you go down the rabbit hole into less prominent projects that are untethered to traditional finance or venture capital. And if we're seeing like a state, that makes it a useless technology, ties it only to crime and the underground, because it can't be seen and controlled using men with guns or tattling gossips. And from a counter-cultural perspective, that should make one go, "hmm, that's interesting." Someone who is able to access state resources while being insulated fron state coercion could be seen as "useless parasite" or "bold counter-culturalist".

Right now it is highly inconvenient to adhere to a "crypto lifestyle", even more so than it was to be a hippie. As you say, buying drugs with it is a common entry point, and it's hard to use a crypto wallet for any kind of consumer activity. And everywhere you go, the discussion is unhinged speculation with an "exit strategy". The actual believers are quite a bit fewer in number, and are more likely to be along the lines of a Vitalik than an SBF - living relatively simply and focused primarily on intellectual concerns, vs a grand-scale dishonest charlatan.

And protest movements, while visually impactful, don't seem to terrify the mainstream like crypto. In many respects they have become co-opted, part of the show.
As this involved an extra hour(?) of flight time, it cost thousands of dollars. It also required filing a particular flight plan, and probably coordination between Boeing and Atlas. So it seems safe to say that it required approval at a pretty high level. And given everything else that happened surrounding the delivery, that doesn't seem strange at all.
Regardless of what a human being "is", what a human being "does" almost all of the time is less glamorous than I suppose you expect (from the tone of your inquiry).

One could call LLMs "nothing more than statistical plausibility generators", and then have a hell of a time distinguishing that description from the vast majority of a human's subjective conscious experience. ie: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-brain_interpreter

I like to think that some of us are capable of more than that, sometimes, but of course that's just what my localized bundle of physics makes me think.
I also remember having some minor hiccups related to network credentials and Windows Hello when I disabled the TPM to prevent any "accidental" W11 upgrade.
Not defending politicians. Just pointing out that if you want to regulate against all mistakes or fraud, then you end up over-regulated. If you chop the heads off the people doing things, you soon end up with nobody doing anything. Looking at software startups shows the value of failure (the EU tends to be more conservative, and that hasn’t worked out greatly for them), and it has been interesting watching the software culture spread to hardware (SpaceX).

In the J&J case, there seems to be a paucity of facts showing harm, so punishing up the chain seems particularly egregious.

> Do voters get money and privilege

Are you in the US? Do you work in software? I would suspect a large majority of the world probably considers that you personally have buckets of money and privilege.

I am not a citizen of the US, and I can list many ways that non-citizens (of the USA) are treated poorly, even in allied countries like New Zealand. Not complaining, we get other privileges. I am pointing out that every person’s reality depends on where they are standing in the world.
