Oh, the word "event" strongly implies that you can filter, reroute, multiplex, store, branch, or do whatever with them. You can't do that if you require a response.

If you create an architecture where your requests need a response, you'd better not call those "events" and ignore all the event related literature. If you want events to work, you'd better architecture your software to work without responses.

> Most "AI"s would be better called "Machines that use tons of statistical learning to decide their next move". ChatGPT (and similar AI) were trained on several hundred gigabytes of data, so it has a lot of raw data to train on.

Whenever I read this argument I ask myself with a certain amount of dread: "what if I'm nothing more than a machine that uses tons of statistical learning to decide my own next move?".

Put differently, it's unclear to me whether we have compelling evidence that we humans, in fact, are "better" / "more intelligent" than those LLMs.
That may have been a sensationalized media story. I think that regularly happens in normal times as well, due to lack of services.
> Rather, I fear it will be put into critical positions and will start making stupid decisions that are harmful to humans or humanity.

Yes. In a very real sense, we already share our world with powerful, inhuman entities that don't care very much about humans. We call them "multinational corporations."

The first way that primitive AI will likely go bad—and has arguably been going bad for 10 or 20 years now—is by allowing corporations to "make decisions" at an enormous scale without needing human oversight. To a certain extent, corporations could already do this by reducing humans to cogs in a mandatory process. Talk to level 1 tech support, and you'll see what I mean.

The nearest-future threat isn't Skynet. It's an algorithm that closes a 20-year-old email account, with no option for you to talk to a human. It's a corporate algorithm saying your store needs to make 15% more profits at the same staffing level, so the local manager starts falsifying time sheets. It's a ChatGPT bot that has been instructed to tell you that, no, it will not refund your airline tickets, no matter what the policy technically says.

Hello,
I am a Master's student in Engineering Science with a focus on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning at the State University of New York, Buffalo. I have completed my coursework in Machine Learning, Computer Vision, and Deep Learning and have gained valuable experience through an 8 month internship at Volvo Group as a Machine Learning Engineer. As I have graduated, I am actively seeking full-time/contract/internship opportunities.

> There are also technical issues to consider. Clocks run faster on the moon than on Earth, gaining about 56 microseconds each day, the space agency said. Further complicating matters, ticking occurs differently on the lunar surface than in lunar orbit.

And all computer clocks need to be corrected for drift anyway. Standard mechanisms for dealing with unruly oscillators should have no trouble with that.

> Perhaps most importantly, lunar time will have to be practical for astronauts there, noted the space agency’s Bernhard Hufenbach.

> “This will be quite a challenge” with each day lasting as long as 29.5 Earth days,

And humans are adjusted for a roughly 24-26 hour day cycle, which UTC handily gives you. Whether it happens to correlate with the natural light/dark cycle, well, you've lost that fight here anyway, it's not like they'd stay awake for 29.5 days and then sleep 29.5 days. Same thing for the ISS: every "day" they get 16 sunrises and sunsets. Of course they'll use artificial lighting to regulate sleep.

Not a single justification for complicating things.

Shower thoughts this morning while listening to the NEOMIR project that watches out for asteroids heading towards earth from one of its Lagrange points[1]: observing is the first step, but why don't we ready a few missiles waiting in space/orbit in case asteroids head towards earth ? How hard would that be to maintain in working condition for decades ? The goal would be to remove the need to prepare a rocket from earth (lots of fuel wasted, etc.) and have lower response times in case a "big one" (or many smaller ones) are ever detected.

> Uber's surge pricing algorithm caused prices to skyrocket in the middle of emergencies like shootings. [1]

Not trying to defend corporations benefitting from tragedies, but isn't this just how a market works usually? There are only so many Uber drivers, you either get surge pricing or just no taxis are available (and scared people refreshing their phones in hope somebody picks up their ride instead of just deciding to find an alternate route)?

Of course we shouldn't save people based on their material wealth, but that's a different (and very entrenched) problem - see also healthcare etc.
You may not even need HTML. HTML is subject to different renderings on different browsers, confusing features that may not be supported on different browses, and may tempt you to use JavaScript (which can throw "errors" if written incorrectly).

If you stick to text files, you'll never have to go to caniuse.com ever. Need styles? Just make a PDF and throw that online. During the "XML HTML" phase the web went through, I never had to worry about validating my PDFs through an XML validator. Then when everyone decided using "<b>" and "<font>" tags was bad and insisting we switch to using "font-weight" CSS in a completely unrelated part of the file, guess what I had to do? Nothing! My PDF keeps rendering exactly the same way through every silly "trend" and "update" on the web, and never misses a beat on Lighthouse in Chrome.

Now if I could just convince all the browsers to implement .docx renderers out of the box, I'd really be set.
Remember that fines for breaking the law are just factored into the cost of doing business.
> Originally this website's font-family simply requested monospace. This approach resulted in varying reading experience depending on the OS. Windows browsers got Consolas, Linux users got DejaVu Sans Mono, and macOS people got Courier.

I find it so sad that our browsers have such bad default fonts that all websites feel the need to override them to get an acceptable look. It would be great if browsers had decent defaults for both the overall default as well as serf, sans-serif and monospace so that most websites who aren't worried about font branding can just stick with the default and users can get a good fond, or even their preferred font if they bothered to customize it.
While I don’t share the dread, I’ve come to a similar mindset. As a parent of small children I’ve come to the simplified mindset that one of humanities “super powers” is pattern recognition.

I disagree. EDA is about how microservices are integrated and, if you establish it, how consistency between them is maintained. Note the talk of ordering guarantees and the like. See also event sourcing and the shifting of responsibility for maintaining data stores: historically data stores were maintained by an authoritative microservice while in many EDA systems multiple copies of the same data stores exist across the system.

Good luck having your site be easy to read on both mobile and desktop with either of these approaches. text/plain may work if you use soft wrapping, but even then most desktop will need to resize their browser window to make it narrow enough to read comfortably.

Do you need to worry about necessities, is total compensation not enough to live on?

I don't see that happening for significant amounts of people. Nobody in Western Europe has to worry about necessities (for a reasonable definition of necessities, if it includes vacations and cars, then this isn't so), yet we don't see the unemployed get super productive and use their free time and energy. Instead, we usually see them degenerate, watch TV all day and slowly wither away. At the same time, it's people with jobs who make the extra time to volunteer and do things.

In my experience the default fonts on Apple devices are far and away the best fonts, period. They're better than almost every custom font, especially for readability.
We went down that route. Your 'easy to install' is now drilling/cutting holes into the container. Then hope your cable does not act as a wick. Cost to install is now dramatically higher. Remember the shipping on these things is razor thin. The shipping company makes it up in volume. So if you go and add 500+ onto install they look for other solutions. The best one I saw was a giant bar code spray painted on the side of the thing and then make it up in the software back end. Low cost, easy to fix and fairly long lasting. Downside is no realtime tracking. Plus the stacking issue is a big issue.

Sure, it's obvious when you look at the code. There's hardly any "objects" per se, but there's tons of classes and class definitions and boilerplate regarding classes.

What we generally call "object-oriented" is actually "class-oriented".

And, there you have it. This is a big part of the reason that I never migrated from Objective-C to Swift. When I was programming in Objective-C, I always felt challenged by the idea that I had something to learn by embracing dynamic programming, and that it would be difficult, because the rest of the "OOP" world had forgotten all about it. What's left now is only a choice of straitjackets.

"OOP to me means only messaging, local retention and protection and hiding of state-process, and extreme LateBinding of all things." – Alan Kay

I wish OOP had explicitly forked, all those years ago, and the C++/Java stuff could have been called something else. That would have at least cleared things up, conceptually.
I love that you went with easiness to read and not "wait, how does anyone navigate on your site without links in plain text files?"
I think people stop caring, because it is impossible to keep up a high level of vigilance for an extended period of time. Plus the risk becomes normalized.

People are not very good at evaluating risk. From an evolutionary perspective, we mainly do it by copying others. I cannot comprehend what a X% fatality rate really means on a personal safty evaluation. But seeing what other people are doing gives favorable odds. Of course, this heuristic has its pros and cons.
Sorry, I meant that the while it was not necessarily the political calculus, the fact remains that some things can be beneficial for one age group that are detrimental to other age groups.

Where this gets interesting is when half the population does not have kids, will population wide wealth transfer from working to non working be sufficiently politically popular?

I think what the (grand)parent would argue is that this isn't removing barriers to competition, it's removing competition itself. That is, iMessage is a feature provided by Apple that makes their products more compelling as compared to their competitors. By requiring Apple to provide this feature to their competitors, they lose one of the key differentiators that make their products "better" than their competitors.

> [...] want to implement something "different" [...]

The slippery-slope argument we're seeing here is that eventually, regulations would require all products and services to be exactly the same for inter-compatibility, which in turn induces a cooling effect on any innovation or novel developments (at least for existing product verticals under regulatory capture).
