I'm always excited when FreeCAD comes up in some way here. I haven't learned any CAD software yet but I'm really eager to learn FreeCAD. It may be clunky in comparison to it's competitors now but I feel like it's worth putting some time into it. Reminds me a bit of learning basics of GIMP back then, which I've been using for many years now.
This is the reason I work in education right now. The pay could be way better given my skillset, but the one thing this institution (an art school) gets right is that they let each department decide on their own what direction they want to go in and how they do it.

Of course it is not 100% free and there are some self-correcting forces at play (e.g. students who would complain if you picked meaningless topics each semester), but if I decided the next semester is going to be on something arbitrary like the history of karaoke technology and building RC-cars I could totally do that.

So even if ultimately I end up doing something reasonable that fits the needs of the students, I know that the choice is mine entirely and I don't get the feeling of "this is the boring crap course I have to give each semester". This is worth a lot in terms of satisfaction, especially since there are few people in this instution who would understand what I am even teaching (apart from the students who visited the courses and the IT department)

The current design ideas in MS products are terrible so I doubt how much AI can help that.

I AM curious to see how design tools evolve to work with all this new AI tech being integrated. I wonder how long is left before pixel pushing is just for final polish and a designer's role shifts to focus on properly explaining the nuance of a problem to a chatbot.

I'm curious about the remaining 20s to start the code on the container. What's the bottleneck there? It seems like you'd need to identify the container, tell it which S3 object has the new source.pex, the container would download it, and then when you run `PEX_PATH=deps.pex ./source.pex` you're up. All that feels like it should take less than 20s. If picking the container takes long, you could probably start that process as sources.pex is built.

I followed you up to the end when you say cities didn't always have more services than small towns and that life in a city wasn't that bad if you were poor. If I think of industrial era first bigger cities, this doesn't seem true? It was way bigger gap between rich and poor quality of life and I'm pretty sure cities always had more services, that's what makes them cities.

I'd say that it's all human thought. It's possible to force your brain to follow some hard logical or algorithmic steps now and then, and rational conclusions can be explained ex-post as necessary ones. But the algorithmic or logical steps are the ones we can already ask machines to perform for us, and we've decided that those steps, being purely mechanical, explainable and reproducible, don't constitute thinking.

My country is a textbook case of the opposite, where the general population suddenly decided they don't really want to live in apartment blocks in the city - especially the type which was built in the communist second half of the XXth century.

What happened next was intense proliferation of sprawl. It actually was seen as a status symbol back then to be able to afford a detached house.

So much so that the urbanization rate actually slightly fell in the past 20 years.

People gravitate towards comfort and apparently needing to drive everywhere but having enormous living space is preferable to living in a relatively small apartment and walking/cycling.

There is no ink economy improvement that cannot be countered in favor of dry toner with an even lower printing frequency. Printing frequency used to be thought in pages per day, now it can be years per page and still be too high to forego having a printer. I have toner that would last decades for my old Samsung, unfortunately some element of paper transport ceased working.
What's your point? That seeing how we're getting screwed is bad for us?

How about having the government actually do better and be accountable for it instead? How about Macron promising to follow the CCC's recommendations on dealing with the climate crisis and instead throwing it all in the trash?

That you attribute my remarks to some kind of misled social media craze is what's actually messed up in this exchange. And as far as I can tell, the guardian or euro news are far from being simple tiktok ads, but people who refuse to see things will continue to find arguments in bad faith to do so.
It's reasonable to highlight issues without presenting alternatives. If a valid alternative existed, people would have moved already and this type of post wouldn't exist.

> JSX

JSX on the other hand I feel like is something that is essential to React (yes, I know that some people disagree), and one of the few things it should provide/require, as it forms a cornerstone of it's UX. Getting things set up to understand JSX/TSX has been smoothed out a lot now, and hasn't been an issue in any greenfield project I have set up in the last 2-3 years.
> Gas peaker plants solve the problem, with no additional costs.

> We don't have to get carbon production to zero. If we run the gas plants even as much as 10% of the time for no-sun-no-wind-flat-batteries conditions, you've still cut 90% of carbon emissions.

And now instead of paying for the expense nuclear power plant, you have to pay:

- Pay for 3x the raw capacity of the plant in solar and wind because they never run at peak capacity

- Pay for the battery for storage

- Pay for the Gas power plant that will never be cost effective because running 10% of the time.

And you still emit more CO2 than a damn nuclear power plant.

Would imply that Europe hadn’t quite figured it out yet. Sure large urban areas have decent mass transit. Many people still live in smaller towns, villages or suburbs and commute by car everyday. Especially in larger more decentralized countries like Germany.

in every country included 60-70% commute by car. Which is barely lower than it is in the US. I think it’s a myth that Western Europe is significantly ahead (and I think it applies, albeit to a lesser degree, to other areas like health and education). The grass is always greener on the other side of the ocean…

My physical (schlage) key doesn't have check my fingerprint, so if someone steals that, they get in. If their cellphone behaves the same way, that doesn't seem like a step backwards, security-wise.

> left-leaning ideas of the younger generations about ecology and equality "extreme-left"

Whatever the labelling you want to use, but we know for a fact that extreme ecology is going to destroy our country. We saw what happened with French nuclear, we are seeing it in the EU car industry, we are seeing it in French housing. We already know that radical ecology is going to bring social unrest. That the first to suffer is going to be poorest people.

> deficit that was literally created by giving money to large companies and rich people in the form of tax deductions.

We are still one of the most tax heavy country with the most social contribution in Europe and in the world. Macron is just trying to level the playing field and make France attractive.

> it's about people asking for compassion towards difficult jobs more than for their own selves, and I could go on...

After this reform, we will still be one of the most generous country in the world even for pension and social net even among Europe and even more worldwide.
Yeah, I can't really argue against the whole idea. My "P(doom)"(language from the article), at least as related to agentic AI, is pretty low. About 7 or 8 percent before I die, and I'm not really old. There's probably not a lot I could do about it anyway, given that most AI jobs are alleged to just make it worse. That said, I can't really go around telling people with different numbers they should be working on antiviral research or physical manufacturing, just because I (personally, without their massive and cohesive "evidence" (i.e. gamed out scenarios) bases) think that's more important.
FB's reputation has no bearing on my choosing react vs svelte vs x or y or z.

I continue to pick React for projects because it's better than the alternatives - not because others before me have picked it and I'm just copycatting.

I can understand why some dislike JSX. I happen to think it's a great abstraction that elegantly combines the declarative nature of HTML and the power of JS.

It's always worth noting JSX can and is used in libraries beyond React (hello Vue!) which further demonstrates its composable nature and flexibility.
I guess the simple fact that it didn't before his patch?
The next product announcement where Microsoft incorporates AI as a central feature will cause me to roll my eyes. I expect we'll see a dozen or more of these this year. They are ultimately just repackaging models discussed here in a user friendly UI. This would look a lot more promising if Microsoft had a stronger track record for applications, which has been hit or miss.
And apparently they are now doing a face-heel turn and joining the lockout party. Hopefully mine lasts forever, even though I keep feeding it eBay toner!

Reading the patch: https://github.com/facebookresearch/llama/compare/main...mar...

Looks like this is just tweaking some defaults and commenting out some code that enables cuda. It also switches to something called gloo, which I'm not familiar with. Seems like an alternate backend.
This is a good opportunity to bring up Blender. Its quite powerful as a full 3D suite and can be used for modeling in 3D printing.
As a more backend guy who does some frontend, the main thing I like about React over alternatives like Svelte, Vue and SolidJS is React Native. React is maybe not perfect for the web, but it’s very, very good, and it’s also quite good for mobile via React Native. The more purely web-focused libs/frameworks have far inferior (or no) mobile options, while other cross-platform frameworks, like Flutter, suck on the web.

Being able to use such similar concepts/knowledge for both web and mobile, with strong results in both places, that’s something React is uniquely good at (AFAIK), and a huge reason to choose it IMO.
My hardest bug ever was also hardware related.
Back in 1998, I was working on a game called "Trucks".
When playing with the network, I noticed that the game was sometimes desynchronized.

To understand the problem, I had to save tons of logs and manually compared them, in order to find what happened.
After a large effort, I discovered that some floating-point values were different.
Then, I realized that some of our computers were Pentium with the FDIV bug.
I faced a similar quantum bug in my teen years. I was very much into Android custom roms and flashing phones. I got my hands on Galaxy Y, a cheap Android phone running gingerbread. So, while flashing the phone, the the flash process always failed after around 20-30%. I suspected loose cable connection and tried again. The subsequent flashes failed even early around 5%. So I waited for a while and tried again. The same loop started - first flash fails around 20% and subsequent flash fails around 5%.

During this, I noticed the phone gets heated up above average of what I had experience with. I suspected motherboard might be faulty. Then, a random idea struck me and I put the phone in freezer wrapped in a cloth. After an hour or so, I again started the flash process. The phone was still wrapped in cloth aside the table to keep it cool during the process. And lo and behold, the process completed without a hitch.

In later years I realised it was surely due to the cheap and substandard flash memory that Samsung supplies to other countries compared to the western counterparts.
Works if you ask it to generate a Python program to solve the task.

> A cubic meter of osmium is heavier than 1000 tons of helium.

> Here's a Python program to print the response:

mass_of_helium = 1000 * 1000 # in kilograms
density_of_osmium = 22590 # in kilograms per cubic meter
volume_of_osmium = 1 # in cubic meter

mass_of_osmium = density_of_osmium * volume_of_osmium # in kilograms

if mass_of_osmium > mass_of_helium:
print("A cubic meter of osmium is heavier than 1000 tons of helium.")
else:
print("1000 tons of helium is heavier than a cubic meter of osmium.")

> Output: A cubic meter of osmium is heavier than 1000 tons of helium.

The code is good, prints the correct result. But the "output" is wrong. So the model is good if it uses Python for the numerics. You should never ask it to do a multiplication "in its head". Always ask for code.

Not funny. And not just Microsoft. Most US companies and the majority of US citizens too.
This isn't about enforcing how new things are named, this about enforcing using already existing names consistently.

If the documentation says "there is a thing named foobar", but in the code I can see Foobar, FooBar, FOOBAR, FOObar, etc. used interchangeably, that's not gonna help readbility and maintainability.
Ah thanks for pointing that out! I'll see if I can fix it.

Edit: should be fixed!
It would seem strange to represent doubt by that squiggle though when clearly it is represented by an x in a blue circle.
I can see why you read it that way, but that's not the point I was trying to make.

These days, a lot of small towns don't even have a full-service grocery store and many people who want to live in a small town have to commute a long ways to get basic essential food they need.

Historically, they may also not have had a full-service grocery store, but a lot more people lived and/or worked on farms and a lot more food was sold locally, not far from where it was grown.

There are essential services that have been unraveling in recent years, making it really challenging to baseline survive in a small town in a way that wasn't always true. And it should not be true that you have a gun to your head to own a car in order to have any hope of having an adequate diet. That's just seriously problematic for individuals and even potentially threatens welfare or survival of the human race.

Something has gone very wrong that it's so hard for so many people to get a decent meal when we are awash in so much societal wealth, yet our systems for how it gets distributed and such have gotten so out of whack.

End of the day the sentiment shifts to "people are not forced to buy my products and if they do anyway, why wouldn't we extract as much from the market as we can for the work we already did", which is a fair position to have. You did some work, if you can sell it for 10 instead of 5 and make them come back to you instead of a random when they need help, why not?

You'd be surprised how easy is to change your mind when it's your own work or company, yet still be outraged at others when they do it. It's very common.
“when you say cities didn't always have more services than small towns and that life in a city wasn't that bad if you were poor”

Pretty sure they said the exact opposite of that.

“small towns suck because they lack services and big cities suck if you aren't one of the wealthy”
I don’t know how does that work but they became the de facto console ROM site. You not just can upload games but you can download them too, it’s not simply archiving but sharing too.

The full SEGA library. Full Nintendo library (except the newest Switch games). Every single PS1-PS2-PS3 games. All the Xbox and Xbox 360 games. I love it because used physical games are insanely expensive and some of the digital stores are also shutting down (WiiU/3DS this month). And on top of that easy to get out of region games that never released for example outside of Japan.

Anyways I except one day the companies going after IA. Especially Nintendo, they shut down several ROM sites yet IA have 10x times more and better selection.
The technology just isn't there yet.

I can recommend IPython, or just plain PowerShell for simple calculations.
Ah, I see where you are coming from. The standard solution (for > 25 years) where I live is that you install a vapor barrier (plastic) to prevent the moisture from diffusing outwards. It needs to be on the interior side of the insulation in a cold climate.

Edit: Sorry, I can see that you're aware of these. Perhaps my point is just that all standard houses where I live in cold climate uses vapor barriers. Moisture control is part of the building code. Trying to solve the problem with overly dry air does not make sense to me - the whole point of a house is making a comfortable living space.

The blog post you linked does not look very trustworthy. Many of these steps are generic Windows troubleshooting steps, with some clearly dumb ones thrown in. There are tons of sites that produce troubleshooting articles like this one for just about anything in Windows (although one of the steps is usually to use some product they're advertising). Googling for "windows 11 calculator crashing reddit" brings a total of two posts, so it's nowhere near widespread, and probably not a real problem.
Complex problems and complex solutions are two different things. The genius is in solving complex problems with simple solutions. While it might seem that adding a crate to solve a problem is a simple thing, from the system programmer point of view (mine), it is not.

I'll admit that I don't understand French social security well at all, but based on what I've read online it seems like increasing salaries would actually reduce the amount of money going to social security because that would mean lower profits for employers (who contribute a higher percentage of their income). Obviously, in terms of wealth redistribution, it's better to have higher wages. But increasing them would actually hurt the social security system.
