My daughter has demonstrated some interest in programming and game development after an introductory overview which was taught in replit using python. She learned about conditionals and loops and modified existing code to make very basic text decision trees.

If I help guide her one on one, do you think gdevelop might be a good place to start next?
Anecdote: when I first got a 120hz monitor for gaming back around 2011 or 2012, I noticed my cat would get interested in the mouse pointer moving around the desktop and start swatting at it. The same cat had never cared about the mouse on my old 60hz monitor.

While I am generally in favor of permissive licensing and accept the corresponding "yes, the code can get incorporated into other projects"...

That same copyright law protects my photographs. I am generally in favor of strong copyright laws.

There are also philosophies of software licensing that want to ensure that the user can have access to the code that uses my code. Under those philosophies, it is the protections granted by the limited right to prepare derivative works that allow that licensing to have teeth and enforce a copy left.

Without copyright, the GPL and corresponding licensing that is written with the desire to be able to guarantee the 2nd and 4th freedoms (access to the source for some product and ability to modify the code for that product) have no teeth and those cannot be guaranteed.

> He says it takes three generations to reveal, so 80/90s being the start of subversion makes perfect sense

He was saying it takes 2-3 generations to the point where it is internal and self-sustaining, and that that had already been achieved in the 1980s in America.
If the left is highly fragmented it is hard to make generalizations like "most leftists are anti-authoritarian". You yourself mention the tankies and others with an authoritarian bend.

You might say they are not true lefties and are not representative but they say the same about you.

> I think the best way to approach people of unfamiliar political viewpoints is to spend more time listening and less time badgering.

I am all ears, it is not my intention to badger. The question is posited to you in good faith -- to me those you deem "bad lefties" are still lefties and leave a bad taste in my mouth.

The proclivity towards censorship and authoritarian behavior, "well intentioned" and often justified as necessary for whatever reason, is not new and has sadly started being fashionable on the left again as of late. This, as is tradition, is the undoing of your movement.

I think it is perfectly reasonable to ask if you can't agree about the subject amongst yourselves how an outsider should interact with you, it is not like I can automatically tell right away who is which flavor. What should I do about the "bad" ones?
> people don’t let their kids play in the street anymore so drivers aren’t used to having them there.

This must depend on where you are, because kids around here play in the street all the time, in residential areas.
I can use a pseudonym in real life. Nobody is "hard checking" my identity 99% of the time. Not even the government. They don't care if someone else does my taxes. It's up to me to share details about my identity with my tax accountant as I see fit. About the only institutions that actually care are banks because they don't want to give my money to someone else and airports because they don't want 9/11.

So yes, you can have self-signed identity. And you can use it 99% of the time. If you need government-level identity verification, you can build that, do the hard check, and link to a self-signed identity by issuing a certificate for a reasonable amount of time until a re-check is desired. Your drivers license is exactly that in physical form. I'm not saying we shouldn't have a digital DMV that issues digital drivers licenses. I'm saying you don't need that as the foundation of your identity system. Identity is self-sovereign by nature. Don't fight it.

The fact that the sentence was only 18 months reflects that, somewhat.
I think what is being alluded to here is the "particulate principle", in other words the fact that atoms combine to produce a compound with emergent properties, rather than simply a blend of the properties of the constituents.
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/014017...

In chemistry, the distinction is often described as being between additive and emergent properties.

The resulting range of possible chemical compounds is not quite an infinity, perhaps, but the particulate principle is clearly in the same category as the "digital infinity" concept.

More seasons are fine and can add to the story. Game of Thrones should have actually been a season longer, but the directors got greedy and wanted to wrap it up so they could move on to their new contracts (that thankfully evaporated after the disaster of the last couple seasons).

Sitcom style shows are also perfectly fine being left open ended. It's kind of an annoyance that British and Japanese shows will spend time creating funny characters in an interesting environment and just end it in a season when there was plenty left to explore.

But serial dramas should have an ending planned from the beginning and an early cancellation should have some kind of early exit clause to wrap the show in a limited number of episodes.

The walking dead went from an intriguing story line to a complete waste of time when I read the show runner had no interest in exploring the origins of the outbreak or finding a cure, he just wanted multiple series to explore the outbreak in various parts of the world. Just a complete and total disrespect for the audiences time, since the thought of an ending wasn't even considered.

It's also completely disrespectful when networks pull the plug early. There was so much hype around Westworld with multiple seasons that were building and then HBO cancelled it without the final season and took it off the service, so there isn't even the option to watch the nearly complete series.

To offer an opposite view, I haven't used (or missed) a debugger for decades, in a whole range of programming languages and environments. It was only recently when I had to disentangle some legacy spaghetti code that I have set it up - and once refactoring is done, I'll probably shell it again.

The reason I don't usually use (/need) a debugger is that I know how the code should behave, because I thought about it in advance. Or, if it is not mine, I expect it to be readable and maintainable, otherwise I push for cleanup instead. If it is written in small manageable chunks, covered with tests and if it has good logging (which is necessary anyway - there will probably be no debugger available in production), I simply don't see the added value of a debugger. If it is not, it is not a debugger that is missing. :-)

That said, it is still a valuable learning tool because it helps understand the flow of the code, and it helps when refactoring spaghetti code. Reverse engineering also comes to mind... But other than that I can't be bothered to set it up either.
And the reason SVB had more bonds than most is because there was a huge influx of deposits in 2021 from investors going nuts funding startups, but SVB doesn't have many customers that are good candidates for loans. They needed to do something with the money. So they bought bonds instead, because those are "pretty safe".

A lot of bonds.
Not sure if it's true in this case but in many cases charging double and halving your customer base is a win I think.
But it serves corporations that governments work for.

Second part of your answer is the reason why I was posing the question.

I’m not of the idea that all tech is unnecessary. We need information systems for things like banking, healthcare, government and so on.

But as you pointed out there are also tech products that are definitely not essential or even counter productive to society that employ a lot of people.

That sorting is pretty odd, and not really the thing for someone who doesn't know about the demoscene. For instance LFT's safe VSP demo was really high up. I understand why, it was a really important technical proof of concept and it explained something that had bothered demo coders for decades, but it's not a terribly interesting demo to watch. What impresses demo coders isn't necessarily the same that impresses the rest of us.

Some of my favorite classic demos are "Sound Vision" by Reflect, "Desert Dream" by Kefrens and "Enigma" by Phenomena. All demos that were popular enough in the 1990s that they reached me and my brother's Amiga by way of modems and swapping. They're all very enjoyable without knowing much about the coding challenges.

I'd say my favorite modern Amiga demo is "Eon" by The Black Lotus. For C64 the good modern demos are too many to count (and by comparison, the 80s era demos aren't terribly interesting), but I think maybe "Lunatico" by LFT is my favorite. Again it's one that doesn't require coding knowledge to appreciate.

Yep, and that's exactly where I got the idea, except I only carry ~6 blank index cards. The cards are usually filed/scanned before they get too worn.

First republic is in the same region and has a ton of tech clients. Collateral damage. So far it looks like they don't have the same exposure as SVB did though.

This is a strange characterization. "Docile" can also just mean "follow rule of law". The latter suddenly doesn't sound so odd.

If the police is violating the law then there's no discussion and they need to be corrected. Otherwise, aren't we supposed to follow the law? If we disagree with the law and want it changed, now that is a different process. But there's no need to be disobedient for disobedience's sake, or just for the sake of not appearing "docile".

We Dutch are also good complainers so I don't think we can be described as "docile", even if "just be normal and you're already crazy enough" is a local saying.
How what is basically a probabilistic model can have genuine opinions when it doesn't even understand what the symbols it manipulates mean?

ChaGPT is not even close to understanding basic math, because it is not capable of having knowledge.

You are anthropomorphizing a stochastical language model. A very sophisticated, expensive, but still a model.

Everything that ChatGPT answers you is derived from things it ingested from its corpus. Opinions are censored for a simple, practical reason; you can't have a system trained from a corpus from the internet espousing ideas about controversial facts like the holocaust.

There is plenty of radical, bad content out there, and there are plenty of people who don't understand how ChatGPT works that, given a controversial generated sentence, would probably either make a monumental fuss about the bad AI or use it as proof of the correctness of their own stupid, bigoted ideas.
And if collect data, pay for that too.

The same thing happened to all these stupid crypto exchanges and banks and yield scams.

The point is that they are supposed to have capitalization requirements and regulations that show they actually have more assets than liabilities.

But in reality they don’t so fractional reserve doesn’t work here. In fractional reserve the bank still has assets worth more than liabilities. That’s the whole point of the regulation.

This bank doesn’t meet that basic requirement.

This is due to the rate hikes, yes, but just like all the recent events if the bank had properly adjusted its portfolio after the hikes, making losses and having a shitty stock price for a while, it would have been able to weather this storm. The storm came because the bank never adjusted until too late. It waited until it was negative from asset devaluation due to interest rate hikes
The Decline and Fall of the Google Empire?

I'd say Larry Page set the seeds for this when he was CEO for the second time and chose Sundar to be his successor while also forcing the company into a disastrous social platform when they should have focused on cloud while shutting down all the fantasy projects. Larry picked Sundar because he was a consolidator who got the other execs to stop fighting and was smart enough to know how to "grow" google's market share over the next decade (which he did). But that growth came at the expense of most of the things that made google great, and now that the profits aren't growing rapidly any more, all the stuff that was fun simply because there was a lot of money floating around are gone.

For me, it it began to end when a director stole my project from me and forced me out, then bad-talked me at perf calibration, and finally ended when I realized my new management was just "night school MBAs with a little bit of technical knowledge and no management skills other than ass kissing the VP".

Yes, they sold the treasuries and took a bath. But if that was their best option, it speaks very poorly to the other "assets" they held on their balance sheet.

We may find out in the coming days that they had a big position in Silvergate, which went bankrupt yesterday, and they had to mark their position to zero, creating the need for liquidity.
I think we all understand why VCs telling people to get their money out caused or accelerated the collapse. But what was any individual VC supposed to do, tell their startups to just go down with the ship?

It's the same dynamic as the toilet paper shortages at the beginning of covid: most people weren't panic buying because they thought that there wouldn't be enough toilet paper to go around if everyone kept cool, they were panic buying because they knew not enough other people were keeping cool.

If it looks like the only reward you'll get for keeping your cool is a few weeks with a dirty bottom, it's hard to avoid joining in the run.
There's one thing you forgot: we only have some model of how a brain might work. The model will only stand as long as we don't find a better model. That's how science works.

No this is complete and utter bull hockey, this is 2008 all over again in every concievable way except this time instead of mortagages and housing it is tech that is begging for a bailout. This is nonsense, for years all the SV tech bros were bragging about "changing the world through arbitaging pizza delivery misinformation ML." getting paid ridiculous salaries, and playing foosball. I don't have sympathy for them, at all.

Most of the "startup" companies had the end goal of simply being bought out they never wanted to actually do anything they were just a get quick rich scheme.

Quite frankly this correction was long overdue and obvious to everyone who thought about it for even a moment. Now that the limitless capital has stopped (because of the fed rate hikes and because of the boomer retirement) it turns out it isn't profitable to have a buinsess model where you are loosing money on every transaction.

The curtain is pulled down, the emperor has no clothes, the chickens are coming home to roost. Deal with it.

EDIT:

As a followup I don't give a damn about the jobs lost, bailouts are the worst possible thing a government can do, all it does is screw the little people over while the owners keep the wealth and use it as an excuse to cut pay and lay people off.

This is why I never understand people who get mad at ‘lenient’ sentences for crimes. There are no crimes I would commit where, say, 1 year in prison wouldn’t be a deterrent but 5 years would be.
