Quod erat demonstrandum is about all I can say. As far as I can see, most governments and institutions moved from a broad denialist position to a "maybe we should do something" but the "something" tends to be lip-service or woefully ineffectual masked with bright-green hooray-statements (because anything effective would be actualy political suicide: people won't vote for people who cut their jobs, tell them they can't have things they want, or otherwise radically restructure their lives).

The overal approach over the last 20 years or more reminds me of Yes, Prime Minister's protocol[1] for dealing with international incidents:

1. Nothing is going to happen.

2. Something may be going to happen, but we don't need to do anything about it.

3. Maybe we should do something, but there's nothing we can do.

4. Maybe there was something we could have done, but [shrugs] it's too late now.

All I'm saying is simply a logical fact - that you and I can't prove this thing is doing what it says in a way we can independently verify. It reminds me of Kasparov and the Machine, the movie which documented the famous chess match between IBM and Kasparov. They initially promised the thing wouldn't be hooked to a network, then they hooked it to the network after it started to lose and it finally won. Kasparov, before learning they had hooked it up, complained that the moves seemed to him to be as if a committee of his rivals had teamed up against him, and as the documentary showed, indeed IBM had recruited just the team of rivals he fingered to guide IBM's team.

AI grifting is an ancient Big Tech trick, going back to before most of HN was even born. There are other examples of this but one should be skeptical about AI unless it's laid bare in the form of portable, Free source code one can inspect and run even in isolation from the Internet for one's self. The fact that people dumped money into it is not proof or even evidence that it works properly or at all.

I'm pretty sure by the time you're outside the box, assuming it's the same size for both, you can't tell anymore. I'm quite confident this is the case for classical gravity and a spherically symmetric "box", and I don't think tides or relativistic corrections are noticeably different far away from the horizon. (Yeah, you'll feel the black hole's tides, but stars have tides too.)
No. The user data, preferences etc under ~/Library/ belong to you - whether it's 3 kB of preference toggles or 3 decades of email.

It would be "unbelievable" if a multibillion company decided to be helpful and erase your data just because you deleted the binary that created them (actually, it wouldn't, but let's not digress into how those companies are stripping away our agency by mobile-ossifying everything).

The whole Mac idea was that there's no "uninstall process" with opaque windoze registries etc; what the Finder shows you is simple enough for an average user to understand. Like dragging an "Application" or a CD-ROM into the Trash to get rid of it. Of course they ruined all that with ~/Library/{Preferences,Application Whatever,Kitchen Sink}/.

The issue to me is not so much ownership as self reliance. I’m Gen X and I can drive, cook, swim, ski, sail, fly and scuba dive. Perhaps I’ve taken things to extremes but it was important for me and my friends to become capable of looking after ourselves. I own a car, but not a boat, skis, scuba tanks or plane (though building the latter is a dream). Here in Australia public transport is actually pretty good in the inner cities but it really limits your opportunity to see the wider country. Owning a car doesn’t always make sense - I lived in inner Sydney for a few years happily without one. But I don’t really respect people that are in their mid-20’s or older and have to rely on others to drive them everywhere.

True, one AI was used to found a weakness in another AI. But then it turned out that the weakness could easily be used to defeat that the AI by a strong amateur level player. 6 Dan amateur is about 1 Dan professional, realizing that Lee Sedol was a 9 Dan professional player. I guess that many amateur Dan players can master the weakness. It also seems to shows that the AI does not have the 'deep understanding' of Go as it was thought to have to be able to beat the top professional players. We might be still a long way away from an AI that truly understand the game. And if this is true for one game, it might also be the case for many other AIs. The road to General Intelligence might still be a long road.

Lol not sure if you're an anti-UK EU member or a Brexiter. Not that it matters, really.

> I don't think labor protections are eroding however.

If you mean in the UK, then they definitely are. Zero hour contracts are more or less the worst parts of being an employee with the worst parts of being self-employed, all turned up to 11. At least that's what I've heard from a lot of people on them.

> Those tend to be very popular among the population here.

I'm not sure where 'here' means in this context but honestly I imagine the only country in the world where labour protections are impopular (are they really? no idea...) is the US.

> Do you have more information about this?

More or less anecdotal but yeah - like I said above, people on zero hours tend to have it pretty rough.

> being employed as a temporary contractor

This is me. Not to avoid labour protections, but rather to have more autonomy. I like not having a boss. I like not having to go through the yearly grind of performance reviews. I like being able to take (unpaid) time off more or less when I feel like it.

There are drawbacks but for my needs and wants I find the tradeoffs to be pretty good.
Honestly I expect in some time frame that religious groups, likely evangelical christians based on their ability to raise money in the US, will pay to have their own model trained in accordance to their own biases. I don't expect it will have nice things to say about gay people. The question of what happens after that point depends on the expense of training and running the system. The most common theme in religions is infighting, and I suspect rather quickly one subset of the people donating to pay for it won't like it's answers because it doesn't match well with the flavor of religion they believe in, and the situation will lead to a lot of memes on the internet.

Ah, tailsitters. Everyone loves the theory, then the practical realities of the takeoff position exposing the entire wing surface to the prevailing wind quickly kills real-world applications.

Node runs circles around Django/Rails, and batteries included in Javascript tend to be pushed to either the frontend or the database. Node backend tends to be thinner, compared to Java/Django/Rails. Some people don't know any better, some have good reasons of doing this.

Rust has two traits, Send and Sync. Send means "this can be transferred to another thread," and Sync means "this can be accessed via a reference in another thread.

Here's some (contrived!) example code (for one thing I'm using thread::scope because I don't want to deal with joining the threads):

use std::thread;
use std::rc::Rc;

fn main() {
let v = Rc::new(vec![1, 2, 3]);

thread::scope(|s| {
s.spawn(|| {
do_work(v.clone());
});

s.spawn(|| {
do_work(v.clone());
});
});
}

fn do_work(v: Rc<Vec<i32>>) {
unimplemented!()
}

This gives:

error[E0277]: `Rc<Vec<i32>>` cannot be shared between threads safely
--> src/main.rs:8:17
|
8 | s.spawn(|| {
| ___________-----_^
| | |
| | required by a bound introduced by this call
9 | | do_work(v.clone());
10 | | });
| |_________^ `Rc<Vec<i32>>` cannot be shared between threads safely
|

Rc is not thread-safe. We try to send it into some threads. It doesn't work. Switching to Arc, which does use atomic reference counts and therefore is thread-safe, does. Same principle would apply with Mutex if we were trying to modify the vector, Rust will yell at us.

One really really nice thing about this is that it'll check no matter how for "down" into the details the thread unsafety is. There's a story Niko told in a presentation of his how he was doing some refactoring and added a type that wasn't thread-safe like, four or five layers down from where the threading happened. rustc caught it immediately, and therefore, it was obvious. Would have been a heisenbug in other languages.

Async Rust also uses Send/Sync, for example, tokio::spawn requres a Send bound, just like spawning a thread does. I do know there are some tricky deadlock cases there, if I recall? But deadlocking isn't what I'm talking about, no aspect of Rust statically prevents those.

Politicians become lobbyists for the companies they supported.

To secure those huge salaries politicians will accept proposals from companies that hire ex politicians as lobbyists. This way you get to pay for proposals, but the pay is an indirect transaction, but everyone knows how it works so politicians play ball. That is the main reason they wont listen to just anybody, its because you wont pay them huge salaries in the future, not because you come up with bad proposals for them, that doesn't really matter if they get tons of money from you when they retire from politics.
True, but the worst that could reasonably happen is that the "X" button would go away and it would be just like every other non-MAS app.

Your feedback is received. Granted, I do disagree. This is just one specific area of focus in the broader field of Marxist historiography. So it is niche.

It is as niche as studying a specific subject area in the broader field of Egyptology, which again I don’t think would be a stretch to consider niche.

Perhaps a takeaway we can both agree on is niche may not be the best word for describing what I’m talking about. Perhaps subfield of an academic discipline is.

Right. It's like the argument that the 2 party system is an intentional brake on democracy, so we have to legislate reforms into being... with the permission of the 2 party system that determines whether legislation gets passed? The clear logical extension of the argument is that reform on the terms in which we have these problems is ultimately not very workable.
To be fair, the situation isn't much better on Windows or Linux. While at least they have a concept of uninstalling an application, you're still reliant on the developer actually getting it right and not missing some tempfile or something.
The other half of the micro hyper-local grid is to get out of the business of needing very large plants like coal plants and moving to things like distributed wind and solar (perhaps as local as being on every rooftop in town) with battery storage

That's of course easier said than done, but with things like wind/solar/battery, and small failsafe nuclear you can get to smaller grids that don't have to be so absolutely interconnected and trying to ship power from Nebraska to New York City
Heh, there were plenty of people who got Sydney to just refuse to talk to them any more. It would just generate blank responses.

That could be a sign of “stability”.

I’m personally using Django since two years ago and have the same feeling as yours, there are nothing exciting happening in this area, but after two years of use I came to the conclusion that it’s features are too stable, so nothing new need to happen in the first place.

It’s a common myth that software should be always updating and introducing new features. No, it’s not, if it can solve the problem great it doesn’t need to change at all.

JS/TS/Rust are still in their exploration phase, new ideas, new exprimentations, new frameworks come and go everyday, and that’ the reason they look vibrant.

Before settle down with Django, for years I’ve used bleeding edge tech like Meteorjs/React/Nextjs/Vue/Nuxtjs/Svelte/SvelteKit/… in real world, or try to rewrite real world app with them, and the biggest problem of all of them is that they all have their quirks and things in JavaScript area are changing too often and too much, I’m so tired to chase all these fancy new ideas.

For 90% web apps Django+Htmx+AlpineJS can serve me good and do all the things that new tech can do easily, at the same time keep incredible stability.

I believe Rails or Laraval are same here, you don’t need to switch in 90% cases, just relex and appreciate the stability they bring.
There isn't a tool to do that right now. It could be a fit in either https://github.com/protomaps/go-pmtiles or https://github.com/protomaps/PMTiles/tree/main/python - the Go program is faster and more production ready at this point. I imagine if folders are working for you the quantity of tiles doesn't number into the millions, so the Python program might be sufficient.

Feel free to open an issue.

By using Typescript you can share types on the backend and frontend. Java stacks tend to do the same thing but for backend and database by defining data at the ORM level. You can connect to your database in any language, but most people using Spring don't write plain SQL.

This was exactly confirmed by an internal study at the company I work for. Engineers that depend on collaboration suffered a significant drop in output artifacts. Those being largely junior or mid-level engineers. Staff engineers actually did better, although ironically they tend to be the ones coming into the office consistently (anecdotally).

One of the most surprising takeaways was that while engineers in the office more often claimed they felt less productive in the office than at home, in-office engineers tended to have higher productivity and WFH engineers when the actual numbers were examined.
I think so, but to be fair it's still in beta. Hopefully they slowly raise the limit as they become more confidence that it won't become erratic.

I never figured out how to relate primitives to each other in OpenSCAD so my models were an endless soup of absolute position math.

I rendered my whole house in Solidworks to plan for a remodel and it was extremely well suited for the job.
