>The norm that elected leaders uphold the constitutional order, which constrains their power; and don't seek to break out of it.

Let's be real: When has that /ever/ been the norm?

Anyone who chooses to pursue an office in governance is there to grab power or enrich themselves. No exceptions. The only question is how brazen they are about it.
LeCun misses the point by a mile, which is weird at his level. LLMs absolutely do perform problem solving, every time you feed them a prompt. The problem-solving doesn't happen on the output side of the model, it happens on the input side.

Someone objected that a cat can't write a Python program, and LeCun points out that "Regurgitating Python code does not require any understanding of a complex world." No, but a) interpreting the prompt does require understanding, and good luck finding a dog or cat who will offer any response at all to a request for a Python program; and b) it's hardly "regurgitating" if the output never existed anywhere in the training data.

TL,DR: his FoMO is showing.
Amazing how he did such a reversal on tech. Even at 80-90 years old and widely regarded as the GOAT, he saw he still had stuff to learn. He finally came around to tech. Also, he said he regretted not buying Google earlier.

The connection to white nationalism is specious. Everyone in this story is brown. The differences are about beliefs and culture, not skin color.

It also projects western circumstances onto places where it doesn’t make sense. Multiculturalism is a cultural adaptation to America being a post-colonial, post-slavery, immigrant nation. In the rest of the west it’s an adaptation to post-colonial immigration patterns. The moral connotations are very much tied up in the fact that those other cultural groups are in western countries because of the stuff western people did that wasn’t so nice. That doesn’t have any force when you’re talking about Hindus in India or the Japanese in Japan. Indeed in India it probably cuts the other way. My surname didn’t make its way 3,000 miles from the Middle East to Bangladesh through a process that was very nice.

Sure, and I’m not trying to put words in the author’s mouth here. I wanted to give some ‘historical’ context for those who may not have been around back then.

Not sure why you're getting downvoted, looks like we both had a similar path around the same time. I tried DDG very early on maybe 2012/13 and the results were awful but I tried it again in 2017 and found it works fine.

I have since moved to Ecosia a year or two ago as I found the results were very similar and have no issue with it.

This is the wrong question because everyone is going to answer a different question, namely "What do you like developing in?" It's massively subjective and depends entirely on what your experience is and what you're trying to build.

Build with what you know to start with. Find a way to frontend that you don't hate. Focus on making your data and algorithms portable. Change your opinion and tech stack when (if!) you need to.

I still don't see your point behind your first 4 paragraphs. How you decide to treat your fellow humans is up to you. Just as you can decide to view your fellow humans however you want. It's entirely possible to treat them like "humans" while still viewing them as nothing but jumbles of molecules and atoms. So again why does perspective matter here (particularly with ChatGPT being a statistical word generator)?

Your last paragraph lacks proof, and is a reflection of how you feel and want to view it - as something more than a statistical word generator. That's fine, but people with graduate level math/statistics education know that math/statistics is capable of doing everything ChatGPT does (and even more). To me, it sounds like you're the fearful one.

Is this a joke? What does that mean?
Pen and ink artists, most notoriously in comics, often lean into hard shadows for composition, turning one shape into another with a chiaroscuro effect, or using false shadow shapes to indicate form. Extreme examples often come up in Alex Toth or Frank Miller panels, but every cartoonist working in black and white struggles to create theatrical staging, and while many take the route of extensive hatch lines to describe medium values, there's an urge to simplify for efficiency. Frank Frazetta also did a lot of ink work before his well known fantasy paintings, and it shows up in some characteristic decisions about what he simplifies. "Framed Ink" shows off a lot of these methods, using a rough ink style to emphasize the composition.

Since the appearance of digital color, the common approaches to ink in comics have toned down because the painting process creates a competing value structure. The mixture of hard and soft shadow creates some jarring effects, so ink lines made "for color" are used more often just to describe form.
What do you mean? For VR?
You may be overestimating the reach of these small states when it comes to online content. These laws don't make porn any less available, it just changes who gets the traffic. And as others have noted, the operators who come out ahead are inherently the ones least aligned with the culture and values being asserted.

What the laws are really for is making voters in these states feel like their legislators are doing something, because proposing and voting on token nonsense like this is easy and negotiating effective change on meaningful policy is hard.

Flask and CherryPy aren’t the same thing. Of course they’re easier and lighter: they offer less.

You can build your entire startup with JUST Django or JUST Rails. That’s frontend and backend. Flask/CherryPy/Express just give you the backend and leave you writing JavaScript for your frontend.

The issue here isn't how it relates to the real world even.

It's that it doesn't even make sense within Newtonian mechanics.

It's a much more fundamental issue to do with math itself, really.

How can math that is reversible in time suddenly not be deterministically reversible in this one very special situation?

Usually math deals with perfectly sharp corners and infinitesimal distances just fine.

Phoenix liveview gives you almost-spa out of the box with relatively little fuss. Of course if you want dead routes you can have those too. You get the safety of a pragmatic fp with escape hatches for stateful stuff (like db access). The designers came from RoR so it really takes care of a lot of easy to screw up things, but they also removed a lot of the super hard to understand RoR magic.

It's future-proof too, if you want to bolt on say machine learning, or data processing pipelines later, that's becoming a real thing in the ecosystem.

I was watching a video on someone writing an Ethereum indexing system in go. One frame had their super complicated concurrent processing system, and my eyes bugged out. Also they claimed there was a concurrency bug. I wound up writing an equivalent in elixir in about a week, no concurrency bugs.
It's fun to look back on the success of SPAs from the perspective of someone who learned to build websites pre-jQuery.

jQuery allows for websites to be interactive with minimal latency, but it's pretty low level so it leads to a lot of common problems. Like locking the main thread, undisciplined architectures, and a ton of issues with back/forward navigation.

SPA frameworks are developed to solve jQuery problems, but they introduce some new ones. Everything being JS is a big win, compared to split apps. But you have to deal with the up front cost of loading all the JS and a higher memory footprint.

And we iterate. SSR frameworks tone down the up front cost of SPAs in favor of more complex infrastructure. Frameworks that deploy to edge networks take another bite out of latency, but it isn't entirely clear what that will mean long term.

It feels so iterative that blaming framework popularity on malice is wild. There are real benefits to businesses, developers, and customers at every step along the path. Of course developers are going to follow along.
I can print to PDF as well, but that captures the entire page and I really only want the article. For example, I don’t want the “Recent Writings” column to the right of the article.
Fortran will outlive every single JS framework mentioned on this page, and then some. There's definitely good and pleasant in knowing that your code will run for many years to come, if your project has such a timespan. Therefore, PHP is absolutely a valid recommendation.

I'm in B2B manufacturing. We are abusing Excel no one should use it for what we do.

We have a spreadsheet that takes information from online orders into input cells. Then it has lines that if they calculate a qty of 1 or greater get consumed by CAM software. The product then gets sent to the appropriate machining center. Not a single line of VB. There are a few things that I could extract into custom formulas that would remove pages and pages of Excel formulas. However the entire point of the Excel setup is so that product experts not programmers can edit them.

We currently have F# in our internal tools. We have a couple of CRUD apps on the SAFE stack. A few ETL tasks in F#. The bug count seems to be much lower when using F#.

There is some legacy stuff in PHP, JAVA and C#.

Then we have an online store in C# but that is just using an open source tool NopCommerce. I couldn't recommend that highly enough. It has been amazing compared to everything I've worked with in the past.
Transportation Noise and Risk of Tinnitus: Nationwide Cohort Study from Denmark
Vultr lets you bring your own ISO if they don't have exactly what you want.
Try something like:

The current board state is:

board = [['', '', ''],
['', '', ''],
['', '', '']];

write a javascript function called bestMove(board) that predicts the best tic-tac-toe move to make given a board. use that function to update the board state and return the board state in JSON form.

The response will have a bunch of functions like

function bestMove(board) {
function getEmptySpaces(board) {
function predictBestMove(board, player) {
function minimax(board, isMaximizing) {
function checkWinner(board) {
...
These functions should work together to determine the best move to make in a game of Tic-Tac-Toe, using the minimax algorithm to evaluate each possible move and choosing the one with the highest score.

Then eval and execute the bestMove function, passing in the initial board state, returning the updated board state. Then the human player makes a move.

Then another prompt:

Try something like:

The current board state is:

board = [['X', '', ''],
['', 'O', ''],
['', '', '']];

assume there is a function called bestMove(board) and checkWinner(board) that predicts the best tic-tac-toe move to make given a board. use those functions to update the board state and check the winner and return the board state and current winner in JSON form.

etc...

Using my little engine, I get this solution:

question: "Answering as [rowInt, colInt], writing custom predictBestMove, getEmptySpaces, minimax and checkWinner functions implemented in the thunk, what is the best tic-tac-toe move for player X on this board: [['X', '_', 'X'], ['_', '_', '_'], ['_', '_', '_']]?",
answer: [ 0, 1 ],

> They don't put wealthy neighborhoods near railroads carrying toxic chemicals.

Usually the causality is reversed... Railroads carrying toxic chemicals exist, and wealthy people are able to opt to invest in properties not near these undesirable things.

I know that sounds pedantic, but it's important to note that "they" didn't "put" neighborhoods with preordained social classes somewhere... They zoned neighborhoods and if they'd said you weren't allowed to build houses there, they'd have been accused of nimbyism, not building enough housing to keep up with demand, etc.

I would highly recommend enabling click and drag to "paint" notes. As it is right now, if I want 16 closed hats, I have to move, click, 16 times. I'd rather drag to paint based on whatever state of the note I start on.

The mutes on the left would be better if they mute the notes, not the sounds. Muting and then enabling can end up playing the tail of some of the longer sounds. This isn't typically how you want this to work. You can always use the volume control if you really want to get that effect.

It would be nice to get some of the tone controls of the real 808, and the swing is pretty important too..... At some point though, I wonder what your goal is since there are so many apps and web versions of X0X style drum machines these days.

Yeah, outsourcing if people become stupid...but why's everyone afraid of that? You don't get dumber by using better tools, you get to operate at a higher level.

I don't understand it or know how to describe it right now but there's a distinction between: machine knows how, human is dumb terminal, and machine knows how, human know other how. And the whole thing is not a binary dichotomy between: machine knows how / human is dumb terminal versus machine is dumb terminal human knows how.

I think this error that you have is mostly some error of thinking...but to be forgiven as the specifics are not clear!

I asked Google Home what the definition of self-awareness is, and it says "conscious knowledge of one's character s and feelings.". But me saying "ChatGPT surely doesn't have feelings, so it can't be self-aware!" would be a simple cop-out/gotcha response.

I guess it's a Chinese Room, that when you ask about Chinese Rooms, can tell you what those things are. I almost said the word "aware" there, but the person in the Chinese Room, while composing the answer to "What is a Chinese Room?" isn't aware that "Wait a minute, I'm in a Chinese Room!", because s/he can arrange Chinese sentences, but s/he just knows what characters go with what, s/he doesn't know the meaning or emotion behind those words.

And if you ask him/her "Are you in a Chinese room?", they can answer according to the rules given to them (the Chinese word for "Yes", for example), but there surely isn't a contemplation about e.g. "Why am I in this room?".

If you ask ChatGPT about the Turkish earthquake, it can give you facts and figures, but it won't feel sad about the deaths. It can say it feels sad, but that'd be just empty words.

What foods do you consider protein for your purposes
I've been researching JS frameworks recently for a personal project. Like you, my experience is with backend, old-school Django-style HTML multi-page apps, with some interactivity in specific parts of a page.

Things I thought that were cool and were genuinely exciting:

- https://htmx.org - this is my favorite option. It's primarily meant to replace AJAX requests that dynamically update the DOM (which is already a big win IMO). For more complex UI interactions, you'll still need JS or Hyperscript.

- https://hyperscript.org - wasn't immediately sold on this one like with HTMX. It's built by the same people as HTMX though. My favorite thing about it is it makes async transparent (no callback hell)

- Svelte, SolidJS - lumping these together since they look about the same from my point of view. Looks very easy for someone like me to build complex dynamic UIs. But still feels a bit too heavy for my tastes (Default setup is for full-blown SPAs)

- Go - awesome standard library. Lots of tutorials and easy to find answers. I needed to adjust to the lack "one framework to rule them all".

- Clojure/ClojureScript - Like Go, there's no "the one framework". Being able to use the same language for backend/frontend, including code sharing, is pretty sweet.

In the end, I chose Clojure + ClojureScript. I aws already familiar with Clojure, and with some wrangling/trial-error, I managed to get a ClojureScript setup that lets me write small interactive components that I can embed into specific parts of plain old .html files.

I intend to use HTMX for AJAX stuff, and ClojureScript for more complex interactivity. Haven't gotten very far yet, but that's the plan.
