> Do you expect a child to understand everything in the same way you do? Of course not.

They don’t understand things in the way children do either. It’s a completely different mechanism. But you’re right, they don’t understand things the way we do. That’s the point I’m making.

> But you can't use that to say that chatGPT understands nothing.

I’m not claiming that. To repeat myself, it depends what you mean by understanding. I’m saying it doesn’t understand things in the way that we do. It’s like an alien intelligence with a completely different neural architecture. Well, we know that’s a fact, it’s neutral architecture is radically different from ours.

>But What it does understand, it understands exactly the same way you understand it.

Do you think that the way humans understand things is the only possible way things are understood? Do you think the way we form meaning and process concepts cognitively is the only way those cognitive tasks could be done?

Take the programming LLMs. If you train it on a complex set of programmes, and it’s super sophisticated, suppose that code contains bugs. It will spot the subtle hard to find bugs and encode those into its model of programming. It will get very good at introducing subtle hard to find bugs and vulnerabilities into its code. The problem is, you can’t stop it. You can’t explain to it that it shouldn’t do that. There’s no way to teach it out of doing it because it doesn’t reason about code in a way at all analogous to humans.
No idea, but market research shows people are heavily moving around right now due to political orientations.

Doesn't duck hunt use an entire frame of black then white? You don't need raster scan emulation for that, just very low latency.

We're not looking at productivity across the board - we're looking at productivity at a particular company that send their workers home. Companies like my company. Productivity soared when the employees were sent home. Many companies reported similar findings.

Helllllllll yeah.
it's not even just from the new player perspective. I've played DCSS reasonably casually on and off for like a decade and the more recent years' changes have been a bit too much for me, in terms of stripping everything down. I completely agree with the comment before yours. I liked the food "minigame", it was fun to play KoBe and chop corpses into chunks to eat, before they go bad.

it's not that it's a bad game now, or anything like that, but it does feel like some edges may have been sanded down that should have been left intact.
They are players in this game too. They could "lobby" Congress to change the laws to allow them not to be shitty. But they won't. Part of stopping the game is shitting on ANYONE who wants to play that wah

You're right. I think that it replaces C/C++ for many use cases. I'm a quant, and I use it to write fast algos for research. It won't be long until Rust has good high level SIMD primitives like the faster crate offered. I can't see myself using anything else thereafter for performant code.

You may be underestimating the amount of need there is for performant code though. Its everywhere.

Yikes. Probably such a niche product that they slap a pretty beefy FPGA and some off the shelf NICs together which can't be good for the BOM cost haha.

On a similar note I recently worked with an adapter that carries USB 2.0 over a cat5 cable. It doesn't even do that good of a job -- jitter is pretty high, which makes it useless for our use case of controlling a laser cutter live from a host computer -- but guess how much it costs? $736! https://www.blackbox.com/en-ca/store/product/detail/usb-20-e...

It is an idea, the problem is you'd need to trust the middle-men (the lobbyist and brokers).

It isn't as simply as "the smallest piece of the pie the better," companies pay a lot of money for well-connected people who can get someone to sit down and talk. So while the public could pump tons of money into a GoLobbyForMe site, how you'd measure success Vs theft is tricky.

Plus there's often other corruption less easily combatted, like post public-office jobs, or their spouse/family getting a seat on some board, or similar.
As a former educator, I actually believe the ETS/college board/etc. moats are less durable than they seem. Lots a vague but oh so serious testing security concerns. Low frequency raises stakes unnecessarily. Big teams doing a lot of brute force development work. All of this paradigm is predicated on a lack of trust in the accuracy of classroom assessments. I believe that is a solvable problem with the development of an assistive assessment tool that monitors instruction and continuously creates/curates assessment items for immediate deployment by instructors. Focus initial development on the tool as an instructional utility and build broad trust in the data through frequent/low stakes/longitudinal assessment over time. Assuming broad adoption, attack their moat from below.
Pick a problem, not a tool first. Unless you're more interested in the tool than the problem, then it's fine. I don't love Rust, but I can get by. TS+NodeJS is okay. But I'm more interested in the problems that I'm solving so I just use whatever is the most suited.
> There is also no tree-shaking e.g only loading functions which are really used.

In most browser implementations ESM modules produce "proxy" objects that weak reference un-JITed code until used and will (eventually) garbage-collect portions of the module that aren't ever imported/used by other modules. This can be seen as a sort of "natural" tree-shaking at runtime.
The speed of your web framework is, in reality, often irrelevant. Our slow nodejs app handles millions of customers with a few cheap and simple caching layers. Our salaries are a lot higher than the infrastructure costs.
Uh, no.

A politician is supposed to represent all citizens equally, even those which did not vote for them.

In a proper democracy, the voter is assessing candidates for a job. Once elected, that job is to do right by all citizens, by doing what they believe is the correct choice, correct way to do their job.

We are supposed to be electing someone to make decisions, based on their beliefs. The election is a job interview.

Mh, I'm interacting with teams with wildly different release strategies and stability requirements at work.

One of the more fundamental things actually pushing towards faster releases is what I call the relativistic deployment speed. We have products that will need at least 2 months to get a remotely deployable version ready. The average fast hotfix usually takes more like 4 months until an installation on a prod system actually can start. Our fastest products can go from code to prod in like 15 minutes with the automated tests being the bottleneck.

This in turn shapes choices for the product managers, but also for security. If something like Log4shell hit these slow products, I'd have to plan to be vulnerable for two months at least, and usually more like 4 - 8 months depending on the customers. I have no choice, because that's their light speed of deployment. No code goes to prod faster than two months latency. That, quite frankly, fucking sucks.

Other products were much better in that situation. We were lucky to have the right devs around, but we went from the decision to emergency log4shell at an utmost risky speed to the first log4shell patches in prod of many within 30 minutes.

However, that's not the normal speed, and that's when you get into the second decision area. Given a lightspeed of deployment, how fast do you want to go?

Some of our possibly faster moving products are B2B products, with a lot of internal training for support and consulting going into a release, and also training at customers happening for larger customers. This means, product chooses to only release bigger changes and heavily customer-visible changes every 6 weeks. They could do this a lot faster, but they choose to slow down because it fits their customers well. And for example, december is usually frozen entirely because customers want to.

But then there is the third decision area. What happens if there is an entirely customer invisible change, such as an optimization in database handling, some internal metric generation for an optimization, or an internal change to prepare a new feature for the next scheduled rollout? And we have the tested, vetted and working option to just push that into prod without downtime, with also gives us opportunity to build experience with, and confidence into our no-downtime deployment system? I don't see a reason why I wouldn't exercise this daily at least once.
GitHub works great for it, for diagnostic tickets in particular you can file them at https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/new?assignees=&labe...

Even if it is an "it hurts when I do this" without more context it can be useful to bring the problem to our attention (but the more context you provide the higher the change we'll fix the problem).

I think we should take advantage of any improvements we can get, that result in a net gain, for the individual. Programming is a practical endeavor. There’s no need to wait.

The issue with this argument is that it could, just as well, be used to force people to wear bubble wrap instead of clothes

No, it most certainly could not. This is just the slippery slope fallacy.

Incidentally, nobody forced you to wear a mask. You always had other options. You are, however, forced to wear a seatbelt (aside from NH) and, in almost all states, a helmet while on a motorcycle. Other than a few overconfident fools, everyone understands the benefits of these precautions.

Somehow, though, taking reasonable precautions against COVID is tantamount to bubble wrap life. Why? Because it's new and you're so indignant that you can't see you're the wrong side of history.
I am glad you said that last analogy. The purpose of war is to defeat an enemy not save a country. Doctors save, militaries defeat or lose. If you want to use a patient as an example, it would be a more "apples to apples" comparison to say "the patient is dead so the disease won the fight" saving and maintaining state are open endes. But defeating is a specific goal.

Unlike "the war on terrorism" normal wars like the one against iraq and afghanistan involves two or more countries and militaries. One side has to be removed from power and control or accept defeat in order for the other side to claim victory. In both Iraq and Afghanistan, the US defeated and disbanded their militaries. At that point the US had victory. There was no obligation to stay there, historically it isn't uncommon for the victor to simply leave after acheiving victory. We stayed because of goals that were bigger than the war against those countries.

The Taliban in 2001 was the legitimate government of afghanistan against which the war was declared. Victory can only be measured relative to the specifics of the declaration of war.
At that point startup has revenue so can pay or is dead so it doesn't matter.
Because every market in the US conveniently turns into a Duopoly which is never subject to antitrust. Intuit has H&R Block.

HypriotOS (for ARM), but it has not been in development since 2019 or 2020.

Proxmox is neat and you can run any OS under the hood including the suggestions mentioned.

You could also go for NixOS and declare you need OCI (e.g. Docker or Podman) in your Nix config.

"Here's a first... I just got an email because ChatGPT suggested an article I wrote to somebody. Could I send them a copy? Except, I never wrote the article, it doesn't exist.

"PLEASE realize right now that this tool isn't pulling out cool references for you. It's making plausible titles and matching them to authors' names."

Further down the chain:

"I tried using it to find REAL poetry by REAL poets on particular topics. It even told me what books the REAL poems were in. I owned several of the books - the poems didn't exist."

Also:

"A friend of mine saw his scientific articles attributed to other scientists. There articles are crucial to scientific careers."

I bailed out to OpenBSD years ago precisely because of stuff like this. Actually for me the real problems began with systemd but that's a whole different story. I find with modern Linux that it's difficult to know what's even going on in the system any more. That's a problem and you're right - the various parties will condescend to you and abuse you if you object to whatever the plan is (they're not really saying what it is either).
Used it for a full house renovation of a 125 year old house (merging a duplex to a single family and moving stairwalls). Was super valuable and used the drawings to get my plan approved by the city. The 3d view really helped in visualizing what the new spaces would feel like.

A bit of a learning curve but the flexible ability to import 3d models really helped. Now that i have every room in my house I can quickly test new furniture layouts.

Highly recommend it.

I use https://floorplanner.com for similar purposes (I pay $5/month). It is great at getting the floorplan nailed, but leaves a bit to be desired when trying to fill the space with accurate furniture, patterns etc. You can have multiple variations floor plans per level.

My gf uses https://foyr.com once we have the floor plan nailed to get an idea about what colors, textures & furniture to use in a space. It supports higher def renderings. It's kind of expensive though iirc.
I was putting that argument aside because that's an argument you can make for any language and it changes depending on who you know, what circles you're in, etc. It's and externality not specific to Rust. You can say the same for Erlang, or Swift, or C#, or ...insert language that isn't JavaScript.

What I'm saying is that, disregarding the externalities, I've found Rust to be quite a boon and not inherently a bad fit for an early stage. YMMV.
I guess I should have been more clear: I'm just mocking the justification DeWine used to turn down prior federal emergency funding.

I am. I'm lucky in that I'm not anaphylactic to it, but it causes me other problems.

It really sucks, though it's better than if it caused anaphylaxis.

It seems you're assuming that majority of the people live in the city or would love in a city? Many people, me included, do not want to live in a city, at least not in an American city. What a city boasts to offer are not relevant to my life: bars, shops, boutique stores, fancy restaurants, active social circles, loud parties, fashion shows, you name it. All those activities are just either too noisy or too crowded. On the other hand, there's not enough outdoor activities in a city. Things are so small in a city too. I want to stay in a spacious coffee shop talking to my friends without raising my voice. I want to have a huge gym instead of those crammed multi-floor ones in a city. I want to have a house that has large enough backyard and front yard and quiet streets for my kids to play around. I want to be able to play drum on my front yard and my neighbors won't hear a thing (I'm exaggerating but you get the idea). I want to be able to hop on a vehicle to ski in a place no more than 30 minutes away from my home whenever I want to. And I certainly don't want to take a bus for grocery shopping for a family of 6. The only thing in a city that I miss is those amazing huge libraries. God I enjoy spending my whole day there.

And if I can afford such life without a car, I'm all for it. But I don't know how.
