Maybe emergent algorithms like biological evolution never “understand” the thing they have made, but the thing still has been made. The same might apply to our steps toward AGI.

We can’t even predict all the emergent patterns in current AI much less future, more complex systems.

Maybe there never has to be a time where someone sits down to create some sort of “feelings module” for something akin to feelings to emerge in a complex system. Same, presumably, even for sentience.

As always, I think the custom font hate is overstated.

> Custom fonts are a waste of bandwidth

Latin subsetted fonts are generally 10-30Kb, it's really not that much. For comparison, it's unlikely you'll see blog authors get up in arms over a single PNG.

> they come with one of three evils called latency, FOUT, and FOIT

A few milliseconds of a different font appearing is truly not much of an evil, but can be addressed by exactly what the author links in their footnote.

Humorously, the author's own site is committing some sins here: both of two font files are >140kb, they don't have gzip on, and they have the fonts marked `font-display: block`. They could cut their CLS and LCP by almost 100% by addressing this: https://i.imgur.com/MOl32iS.png

Of course, it's already very fast, by virtue of having no other resources loading. This would be dramatically worse if there were scripts that needed to get downloaded.

My understanding is that the client side JS is a result of backend compilation. How does this work if the backend is dynamically generating those JS files? `getPosts()` can return a different JSX based on what `getPosts()` returns. No?
Austria can top this, there are towns without street names, so the shortest address you could have for example would be (in this example the number is 0, to not post a real address here)

5222 Ach 0

(Which translates to the town of Ach in the ZIP code 5222, and house number 0)

If you write it like this it may be even an international valid address (for some countries)

At least on Firefox it is both. By default it uses raw fontconfig for default, serif, sans-serif and monospace. But it uses an override for emoji fonts. You can also explicitly override these in the preferences and then it doesn't consult fontconfig (or probably consults it with a precise font name).

But yes, I have seen decent browser fonts for most Linux distros.
Couldn't you extrapolate this opinion across all current uses of AI, such as programming, text generation + image generation and argue the same things?

They are all creative, yet it seems a little silly to say we shouldn't use AI to progress in any of these areas.

It moves a bit slowly both because it works right now, and because many features can be implemented as libraries (e.g. someone has an early implementation of tagbody they they recently posted to the mailing list).
Internet Archive Scholar has some interesting results for "Lagash", it's a nice resource. See this from 1956:

https://archive.org/details/sim_transactions-of-the-american...

> "This is the dream contained in the famous Cylinder A of Gudea (published in TCL VIII), the ensi of the Sumerian city of Lagash, whose floruit falls about the very beginning of the second millennium B.C. Gudea, ruler of Lagash, desired to build a fitting temple for his god, NinGirsu, and, as was customary throughout the entire span of existence of the Mesopotamian civilization, the latter sent a dream..."

These kinds of modern excavations reveal a lot more about ordinary daily life than the older translation of temple documents and royal inscriptions do, however.
My understanding of this is that this is trading a build step for just in time (JIT) compilation, which seems, ok? But it seems to me that you've just moved the problem around and I'm sure there are additional trade-offs (as with anything).

I agree that abandoning virtual memory entirely brings back old problems, but there is a middle ground of a single virtual address space.

> This tech is _straight up bad for you_.

What tech? Being able to talk on the phone? Having a phone you can play on? Or is it the apps that you have on your phone and that are available to you 24/7, and are engineered so you feel the need to engage with them 24/7? Because I don't think it's useful to say "it's the phones" in that case. If it's social media, it's social media, not the device you use to access social media.

I'm not addicted to my phone, I'm one of those boring people that use like 50mb of mobile internet a month, and my phone screen is off 99% of the day, so I'm not sure how accurate your assessments are.
The downturn is hitting all companies and all jobs. It’s bad out there.

What’s perverse, and not being discussed enough, is that this is an engineered recession. Rather than admit our economy no longer works, the Fed can alternate between low and high interest rates (inflation or unemployment, take your pick) and so, even though bad things are happening, the fact that it’s different bad stuff each year makes it look like the Fed is doing something.
I tend to stick with script tags as much as I can. Really the problem are all the frameworks pushing people to create a build step. Their excuse is optimising the code size, but for most cases that matters little, I don't mind including all of tailwind or font-awesome.

But it's very important to know what things you abstract over. At least as a rough outline.

For example, if you have the abstraction of all days being 24 hours which is fine. You should know though how far you may be off with that abstraction.

If your day suddenly is more than 4% longer or shorter, you might wonder about increased or decreased traffic for that day. You should know that there are cases where your abstraction is off and what the possible results of that are, even if you're not chasing that particular rabbit hole.
Look harder.

No MCAS = does not meet the criteria to be employed in Civil Air Transport in the United States.

There were several failures on the system architecture front as well, including a vulnerability to single event upset, where a cosmic ray flipping a single bit in the FC in vommand would trigger an MCAS failure state that the average civil aviation trained pilot was found not to be able to successfully cope with.

It's also in the NTSB and FAA final reports, as well as several House generated investigations.

I spent waaaay too many hours doing that math by hand and looking up crap on Engineering Toolbox to easily forget/forgive that.

Switch A and B are connected to each other with two links, we'll call those 1 & 2.

They're supposed to run STP or bonding or something to make 1 & 2 a logical single link, but that's misconfigured, misbehaving, or just plain old buggy.

By sheer bad luck, switch B has currently overflowed its MAC lookup table, and is falling back to broadcast for your destination MAC.

You send a packet to switch A. Switch A looks up the destination MAC, and forwards the packet to link 1. Switch B receives the packet, has no idea where that MAC is, and forwards it to links 2-n. Switch A receives the packet, looks up the destination MAC, and and forwards the packet to link 1. Rinse, repeat. Observe packets sent by switch B on ports 3-n.
I would imagine it comes down to the fact mirrors need to be cleaned and can break easily from rapid temperature changes -- a hot day and suddenly cool rain comes down can break a mirror.
I'm sure it depends a bit on the delivery and sorting offices involved. The UK (I'm an ex-pat) seems to be WAY better than the US at this - it seems they really want to deliver the mail and make an effort to do so, vs here in the US where it's almost the opposite - like they are looking for any excuse NOT to deliver. I had one returned to sender since the post office wouldn't figure the missing town from the zip code!

I've read stories of letters to rural areas in UK where "so & so, sheepstown" is enough to get it delivered since the carrier knew who so & so was. As a kid in the UK I remember once asking for a refund on a can of hot-dogs that was one short, by sending a note on a greasy chinese take-out lid without even adding a stamp to it. The post office delivered it, and I got my refund!
The scenario I fear most would be AI generated opinionated podcasts aimed at humans, with the purpose of directing their preference, that is, "propagandAI". This already happens daily with traditional media, but that also gives us the weapons to fight it because there's a person on the other side and we know humans can be evil or just fail. But who is to blame when million of people put in power the wrong person because of what an AI that is not a legal person, still they deeply trust because "machines can't lie", directed them to by pushing the right buttons in their heads?
What concerns me the most isn't the AI itself but rather the humans behind it that will use it to take advantage of other humans.
An industry expert telling you that X is the solution to everything, and then years later saying that Y is the solution to everything, without any acknowledgement whatsoever of their previous statement on the subject, is messing with perception on par with adjusting gas lamps and then denying it. The relationship exists, whether you recognize it or not.

Even if it weren't in many cases the exact same pundits offering the nearly-identical praise while disappearing their previous plaudits down a memory hole, it would still qualify as gaslighting because collectively, an entire industry of experts has decided to act as if history began the moment they started to type, and that the collective previous claims of the group don't exist any more.

If you watched the movie and didn't see how the situation could possibly apply beyond a husband/wife relationship, then I suppose you watch movies differently than I do. If you instead picked up on popular usage of the term without watching the movie, then I suppose might not understand the actual meaning of the term. But if you're defending terms you clearly don't fully understand yourself, please, leave the terms to defend themselves.
So basically Deno has its own bundler that lets you not have a local build step and it gets bundled dynamically per-route as requested by users, right? This is very different from industry standards and possibly has many new concerns from devs, none of which are addressed in the article since it's treating the system as a perfect solution, which makes sense since it's a marketing page ("content marketing"). If it was a 3rd party article, I'd be interested in things like:

- How do you measure bundle size and make sure it remains small? (e.g. make sure that a PR doesn't accidentally import a massive dependency)

- How do you measure bundling speed/performance, does it add significant time to the first request? To subsequent requests? Is it linear, exponential, etc. with the number of LOC? Again like in the previous point, how do we make sure there are no regressions here?

- How does this work, well, with absolutely anything else? If I want my front-end in React? Vue? etc.
Gibraltar and the Falkland Islands (among a few other places) aren't crown dependencies or part of the UK, they're the vestigial remnants of the British Empire that rejected full independence for various reasons. Until around the time of the Falklands War they were still called crown colonies but they're now called British Overseas Territories. They're not like France's equivalent where many are integral parts of France.

> even their preferred font if they bothered to customize it.

Felt. I actually do adjust my user agent fonts and system fonts, and I hate it when these "system UI font stacks" aren't just "sans-serif" and I end up with Arial or Ubuntu because some guru said this is how you do it. Especially irksome though is the monospace fonts--either Courier New (which hints way too thin to be readable on my main display) or using some hard-to-decipher custom font that abuses ligatures.
> at worst, a ban would force us to either adopt China’s censorship technology or create our own equivalent.

When india banned tiktok, it was tiktok that actively enforced the ban. Tiktok bans all indian based IPs. I'm sure they'll do the same if the US bans tiktok.

As for censorship, we already have a censorship regime. It's as total, centralized and oppressive as anything we pretend exists in china.

> Unlike authoritarian states such as China, the US has a free, uncensored Internet.

That's because we invented the Internet and we controlled the commanding heights. We could use the internet and social media to brainwash, foster division and destabilize foreign nations. It's amazing how when another nation gets similar capabilities, we suddenly have a change of heart. Just like when we had a monopoly over nuclear weapons, we had no qualms about using it on innocent civilians. Only when someone else got them, we demanded treaties on nuclear technology, weapons, etc to limit the use of nukes.

> Or, at the least, authoritarian government powers like India’s, which could force Internet service providers to censor Internet traffic.

India is authoritarian for protecting its national interests? Is the EU authoritarian for completing banning russian news? Are we authoritarian for banning iranian social media accounts? The only thing suspect about india is why they haven't banned facebook, youtube, etc along with tiktok.

When india does our bidding, we praise them as the largest democracy in the world. When they don't, they are authoritarian. Hopefully, india gets more and more "authoritarian" and improves the lives of their people.

The decoupling of URLs that host your dependencies and the URLs that host your application feels like an important uptime measure currently. If the URLs that host your dependencies go down in an NPM world, you can't build and deploy new code but your app is still up. It seems, if the URLs that host your dependencies go down in a Deno world, your app goes down if those dependencies have not yet been cached (even on the server).

Am I missing something? This might not be terrible if it becomes the standard to host your own mirror internally.
Just guessing but maybe the poster meant that those things don't attack root cause which is sad but simple - screen/media addiction and easiness of obtaining next kick from it, versus actual physical relationships which are much harder to manage and it only gets worse with age. They help you existing around this gaping dark hole but not doing much with it itself, just trying to divert you staring into it. Well guess what, its now part of you, permanently. Admitting that to yourself ain't an easy task on its own, especially if one works with IT or with computers all day.

With that being established, addictions can be tackled in numerous ways, but lets be frank here - our mind, often our greatest asset, is our greatest enemy with addictions. An addict has a permanent crack in persona, something you can put some glue in but things will never be the same as before, you are in recovery for rest of your life.

Since screens and media are everywhere, its pretty hard addiction, similar to say cigarettes in terms of shedding it off. So I think all those tools mentioned work to some extent, for some, but actually getting off the drug shows different, more intense results. The effects are quite subtle unlike say heroin so there isn't societal outcry yet, everybody just complaints about 'kids these days' and moves on.

That's why I consider criminal to let small kids play endlessly with phones/computers or sit in front of tv all day, getting their first addictions from their own parents who are often deep in their own rabbit holes.
I read a while ago that the regulation will require them to build an API that other apps can access it, so you could use an alternative app if you want to. I'm not sure if they will force them to receive messages from other services.
