You're getting down voted but your comment is basically correct. Scala contains some good ideas but due to high complexity and weak tooling support it has failed to gain mainstream adoption. And it's widely recognized now that embedding XML literals in the code was a bad idea; if we want to do something like that then it should be a more generalized mechanism that could support other hierarchical data formats such as YAML or JSON instead of being locked in to XML.

Despite its flaws, Scala isn't a bad language necessarily. It will still continue to see niche use. But it no longer seems like the obvious path forward for general purpose application coding.
xnx's archive link (which I can't reply to?) does not contain the last part of the conversation between Dr. Watumull and ChatGPT, is that part in the NYT article? (I'm at my max...)
But you do not have to choose Java over Kotlin - you can use them both in the same project without any side effects.

This was by design for Kotlin, and is probably their smartest/best feature. All existing Java code/libs just work in Kotlin. Conversely, most Kotlin code/libs just work in Java, although some care needs to be made there.

Kotlin is amazing to use and read. For most things, the Kotlin version is easier to read and comprehend than the Java version in my experience.

As Java adds language features, Kotlin either gets them for free or already had them (and now can use native features instead of their own custom features).
Well, you do most of your compilation, test, and debug under the JVM and only do final test (and possibly debug) with native compilation.
I believe you meant 0.84kWh, the article stated 840 Wh per day.
> Being gay isn’t a sin according to Catholicism, only having gay sex.

Being a pedophile isn't against the law, only engaging on pedophiliac desires is illegal. Therefore I should be ok with pedophiles being leaders of our community and teachers. Right? Wrong.

Examining the technicalities of the rules is just pedantry. There is an obvious intent and overall meaning behind the rules.

>Perhaps you can think of a justification for all this, but I haven’t seen a coherent one given so far in this thread.

Thanks for being so polite. This is obviously against the rules here, you're saying it to trigger me.
To be fair, you can‘t really blame the complexity of a framework on the language. A similar comparison would be having gripes about C++ because of boost.

On the other hand, I am often dissatisfied with tokio‘s incredible complexity and the fact that it‘s the accepted async solution in the ecosystem.
Not just a waiting list. You cannot use this browser without signing up for an account.
Those are 2 of the most significant (and eagerly awaited) new(er) features though (although I thought BigInt was more like 5-6 years old)

edit: Edge and Safari only added support in 2020, so it has only been useable without polyfills for a few years
How is that ironic? I wonder if people actually know the meaning of irony these days.
> Tagged template strings. This just feels dirty to me. Probably won't use, but when I see it in a code base I won't be so confused at least

A while back I wrote that "Tagged Template Literals Are the Worst Addition to Javascript" https://dmitriid.com/blog/2019/03/tagged-template-literals/ and I still stand by it.

The fact that someone uses them in a somewhat nice fashion in an sql library doesn't change the fact

Many of those costs are borne by Medicare/Medicaid as well as private payers:

Costs from administrative activities are best defined as what is “left over” after accounting for clinical activities.

The hospital president's salary is paid by Medicare/Medicaid, too. Same with the armies of medical coders.
No one asked, and not exactly on topic, but I'd like to throw in my $0.02 towards our culture having a slightly less unhealthy relationship with death.

The essence of it is this: No one suffers over how they don't exist on, say, the top of Mount Everest right now, or the bottom of the Marianas trench. They also don't worry about how they didn't exist in the 12th century in Madagascar, or on the surface of Mars one million years ago. No one worries that they don't exist in the center of the Sun, or on the surface of some star in some other part of the universe. There is an almost infinite number of places and times that I currently don't exist at. I think that death is like that. There is no one to worry about anything, just like you weren't there to worry about anything before you were born.

I went to a junior college that I spent time at years ago, and, being in the physical location made it easy to place myself in the mental space I was at then... The person I was then, the things that were important then, everything, all of it, are now gone. I have memories of that time... some sad, some happy, some bittersweet. But the person I was then is gone, no longer exists in any real way. It's easy to get swept up in those memories and the emotions, but, if I focus on what's going on in the present moment, then it's clear that none of that exists any longer (at least not outside my memories). And that's a good thing! It frees up the present moment for doing new things, for becoming someone else.

I'm not trying to get all nihilistic "nothing matters", and I'm also not all New Age "everything is going to be perfect". There are real problems in the world, and some seriously f*cked things happen. But working on real problems is hard enough without dragging a bunch of anxiety over fantasies into it.
Hmm, slower as the number scales up. Wonder why my M1 didn’t do that
These instances of rejection of final rights - were perhaps some of these cases due to the fear of transmission prior to common understanding of the means of transmission? Same for the Bible studies?

Again with the term "queer", this masks the important distinction mentioned above, because its use presents certain actions as morally-neutral. Many of us view(ed) the AIDS crisis as being used as a justification for sinful actions. I'm sure you're familiar with the Stop the Church event (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_the_Church). It is rather obvious, based on who organized this event and others like it that they were opposed to actual teachings of the Church, such as its condemnation of sodomy, contraception (even as a prophylactic against contracting diseases) and even abortion.
OP's original issue had to do with changes to Gandi's included email service specifically.

Perhaps the title should indicate that Gandi is rugpulling email accounts from people who have prepaid for domain registrations.

They haven't told me I'm losing my mailbox yet but I'm on the lookout.

The free mailbox was honestly one of the biggest reasons I chose Gandi, and I would not mind paying for it at all - preferably not under duress though!

I'm lucky in that the family I married into is strongly connected to Namibia. My wife lived there when she was young, and her family goes back regularly, so I've been able to tag along with them. Getting introduced to that place -- somewhere I likely never would have known otherwise -- is one of the (many) things that makes me feel grateful for my life and my wife.

Well, well worth a visit. Southern Africa has its problems like anywhere, but it's a really special place in the world.

It depends what you mean by confirm.

You can raise the bar for confirmation so high that you cannot confirm that you even yourself are not an automation. And you can lower the bar so that other humans are considered sentient.

But in the end, it is only about arbitrary decision where to place the bar for confirmation.

> It sends an AI generated letter to a congress person in a seconds. Users can edit it, but frankly the results are amazingly good.

Probably not [0]; oh, the output may read nicely, but letters to legislators, even when I was working in a state legislative office in the 1990s, before mass online template generated near-zero-user-effort spam letters were common (but not before organizations sent out template for people to use, or even xerox-and-add-name-and-signature near-zero-effort spam) mostly got read by interns and processed by a heuristic like this (for issues mail, constituent service is different):

(1) Is it from a constituent? No = done and file, Yes = continue.

(2) Is it for a specific, identifiable active bill before the body in which the legislator sits (including the other House) -- see (3), or is it a general issue or one before a different body (if it seems to be maybe about an active bill, but the information is insufficient to identify the bill readily, treat as the second) -- see (4)?

(3) Does it clearly support or oppose the bill? If so, record it in the running tally (creating it if necessary) of constituent support/opposition for that bill; file and done.

(4) Does it address an issue that the legislator has identified as important and has a message on? If so, respond with that message; file and done.

Literally, the ultimate constituent letter on a bill for effect (maximum effect, minimum chance of getting misinterpreted, minimum effort) was a postcard with sufficient address information to identify the sender as a constituent, a bill number, and "Support" or "Oppose".

I don't imagine individual issue letters are getting even that much attention these days, which is why all the serious activist trainings focus on live calls ass the "low effort but low effect" approach and visiting legislators offices as the high effort/high effect approach to influence. Letters and emails might get categorized and mined for propaganda use by legislators, but they aren't moving positions, and every new tool to spam legislators with them reinforces that effect. They are a placebo button, and incorporating AI technology to make a newer, fancier-looking placebo button isn't changing that.

[0] But at least it gets the federal legislative reps (almost) right (it makes the error of using the legal name of a Senator rather than the name they actually use publicly, and hey, if it was going to actually be read, nothing makes a better impression than using the wrong name), for state reps it gives me none of the actual reps, but three of the eight statewide Constitutional officers (the Governor, AG, and Secretary of State).
"Create explanations", in the Deutschian sense, is still the missing piece of the puzzle.

I'd wager that that it's emergent. AFAIK, there is no good "reasoning/conjecture/critique" labelled dataset made public yet, but I have been seriously considering starting one.
It’s necessary in case the “good guys” need a security vulnerability to do “good things.” Proprietary software will always have security holes planted by governments.

When youre on a video with forced ads where you cannot skip through them, go PiP on the video and use the arrow keys to scrub left or right...

I discovered this, then talked to a buddy at netflix, and he said that coding for PiP was a pain because PiP doesnt abide by DRM rules.

What would be cool is the ability to pipe a PiP to VLC and then use VLC to save out a video....
You‘re correct.

What feels nice about Rust is that its typing system is tightly coupled with solutions that are impossible to use incorrectly.

My Mutex wraps my value. There is no way to access my value without correctly locking it first. I can‘t not handle all of my enum variants when matching. To get to the value of my result, I am forced to unwrap it, thereby handling a possible error.

While arriving at a compiling solution can be annoying, it feels nice to be able to trust.

This comments section is weird. Looks like you're using sock puppets to boost your own popularity.
First of all you clearly have no clue that the Modern Classical Sanskrit is a newer language an earlier language existed known as BHS(Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit) this language was written in a script older than Devanagri script. There are ample Buddhists manuscripts of this language written in various scripts like Kharoshti. Why do we not find a single Brahman Dharm manuscript?

Simply because much of (Brahman Dharm) Hinduism was invented after the invention of Devanagri script in 11 century.

Also The classical sanskrit in which all Brahman Text (Hindu text) is written cannot be written in any Indian script before 11th century. Simply because the very basic sounds of sanskrit "Chha" (छ), "Tri" (त्र), "Gya"(ज्ञ), compound sounds, halants and visargas are not present in any script before that.

In the end what is the basis of your claim? All your claims are sand castles without archaeological evidence which is non existent for Brahman Dharm (Hinduism).

Vedas dont prescribe anything in terms of rejecting books, 33% of Rig Veda is only talk fire burning rituals and Indra, i suggest you first read it before speaking about it.

You must also address Bhavishya Puran.

That's not what xargs does though...

This is why shells exists. They don't exist to execute cmdlets. Nobody cares about that. Cmdlets are about internal functionality of the shell. Executing processes is the service shell provides to it's users.

I don't know what that code does. I don't have Windows, and wouldn't install Microsoft's products on my own or company's computer... But, my guess would be that it would take about half the effort that it took you to write this.

What magic to you is not magic to me, because I know that stuff. You must know PowerShell better than I do. I simply know enough not to use it. I don't care about the gory details.
I don’t know what insight we expect of Chomsky at this point.

He don’t seem to understand how it’s going and where it’s going.

I at this point AI is only limited by our capacity to create memeable flaws.

If you can create a criticism of ChatGPT that is concise, accurate and funny it will go viral and get fixed fast.

Yes at the moment it’s intelligent is very wide but not that deep (brute force allusions) that will get fixed and it will be way more efficient at the same time (more compression of information) It doesn’t have real experience/connection to our world: expect that to change with video/audio information and robotic manipulator. It say falsehood, doesn’t know what it doesn’t know: actually it’s in the API but not exposed in chatGPT. Expect that to get fixed also. Morality is based on iteratively playable games, that can get baked into it also.

Fundementally Chomsky has always argued that language must have some sort of core logic beyond Saussure's division between Signifier and Signified, but so far nobody has been able to prove it. What might be most disturbing to him is that LLMs, which operate purely on mass associations, might be closer to human cognition than a notion of cognitive logic. What if the associations are more primary, and the logic comes later? Just as someone else commented, animals work mostly in cycles, patterns, they don't have logic but the cycles of life are burned into them; there could be some magic key that explains why humans possess logic, but it would not be hidden in biology--more likely, since language is by nature a social phenomenon, it would be an aspect of culture.

The real problem isn't the autonomous part (although it is an issue). Full electrification of just the US will require a doubling of our power generation and transport capacity. This isn't trivial at all.

The US currently produces 1200 GW (power, not talking energy, that is not the correct conversation).

For context, a typical nuclear power plant produces 1 GW. Which means that this doubling effect would be the equivalent of building 1200 new nuclear power plants. I am not saying that's what we have to do, it's a useful mental tool to be used in understanding the scale of the problem.

Solar isn't going to make this happen. For starters, a solar system has to be overbuilt at a minimum of 10 times the required steady-state output. In other words, if you are after 1 GW steady state you need a minimum of 10 GW of solar. The scale is so massive that you start running into regional, weather and MTBF and other issues.

The right solutions is likely a combination of lots of nuclear along with lots of solar, wind and hydro (where possible). We are going to need a serious shift in culture to be able to accomplish this, otherwise, electric cars are going to end-up requiring burning all kinds of fuels just to generate the power to keep them charged. And then you have all the battery issues. At some point you have to honestly ask for an honest accounting of what it might all lead to. I have these images in my mind of massive land areas devastated by strip-mining and other activities just to be "clean" in lands far and away from the mines.

Electric cars are a good idea. We all want them. We just need to be sure we have honest discussions in order to ensure we do it right and don't create a bigger long-term mess than what we manage today.

EDIT:

Why do I say that energy isn't the correct conversation? Because energy allows one to fall under the fallacy of thinking that things can happen over time. That is not the case here. When you have a thousand cars plug in to charge at the same time, you need enough power to service that load. Yes, of course, the objective is to store a certain amount of energy. However, the critical path, the thing that will break systems and overload power generation and transmission is their simultaneous power requirement. The conversation has to be about power. In a place like Los Angeles you might have a million cars simultaneously connecting to the grid to charge. That imposes an instantaneous power requirement that has to be met or things go wrong very quickly. This is how the electric transition is more complicated than a lot of these hand-wavy energy estimates which conveniently ignore what needs to happen instantaneously.
