While the maturity of the field is surely part of it, the fact remains that a typical piece of computer software almost certainly has a lot more unique complexity and functionality than a typical building. It's pretty rare a building is expected to provide the ability to do something that no other building has ever done before, yet we expect this sort of thing of software all the time. Nor is a building expected to perform complex logical and arithmetical operations while in use, or if it is (e.g. software controlling the elevators or climate control system), it's using more-or-less off-the-shelf componentry to do so.
I hope both will happen. What's your point? Poor people are getting less texture in the meat they can't otherwise afford? There are a lot of products where texture doesn't matter.

And it's an invalid assumption that cultured meat won't ever have the same or similar structure. They'll figure out how to grow connective tissue, even blood vessels.

IANAL, but wouldnt feeding the training data into alpaca and then having it output similar text not construe new data that is not copyrighted by stanford/openai/facebook? (It would be a significantly creative and novel worm to get the prompts working correctly..) Obviously you are also not bound by the openai terms of use, and Im not sure if stanford's terms of use are as broad and well-defined...

What would the Iran - Iraq war look like with nukes? What would a falling dictator à la last days Saddam or Ghadaffi or the Shah do with nukes?

To be honest, programming in Zig sounds like a PITA to me. Building proper abstractions is difficult, and especially so if the main goal of the language is to NOT let you do this.

Locate isn't always installed by default.

Too often do I ssh into some ECS, run a docker or whatever, only to find it doesn't have locate.

The problem then is that even if you can quickly install it, it'll still need to reindex the whole system, which may take minutes (and can easily cause stressed servers to start trashing).

If it ain't there -and it often is- getting it is a lot of hassle.
It's far worse, because people who should know better, people who should understand at least the very basics of how the underlying algorithm works, are deluding themselves into believing it's some kind of magical oracle.

You don't need AI for that f-up. Brazil regularly imprisons poor black people for having social media pictures looking like someone in some grainy surveillance footage.
The screen is surprisingly good. I feel like a lot of the comments there are a bit like when smartphones changed from buttons blackberry style to touchscreens iPhone style. For sure buttons are better for some use cases but a touchscreen is nice too. It’s okay that you have to press the touchscreen to configure the automatic AC. It’s not something you do often anyway. However you may use the navigation or the media player more often. The model 3/y also has nice buttons on the wheel anyway, not some cheap touch buttons. With the exception of the wipers speed selector. They fucked up on this.
Maybe "speed" is something they want to convey?

An animation that shows a very slow pace might communicate that the tool is slow too.

In the article, I mention that Twofer Goofer requires perfect or strict rhyme. Perfect and strict rhyme require that all syllables are pronounced identically in the speaker's tongue (for me, American Midwest accent), except for the first sound of the word which can vary.

Hence pooh-teen and proh-tein do not rhyme. Skell-ih-tin and Gell-ih-tin do rhyme.

A game like this requires a pretty tight rhyming definition to not annoy players in a given day!

> 2. The government decides that, oops, it printed too much money in 2020/21 and is causing inflation, so it raises rates very quickly.

The cause of the inflation is not a classic spiral, it's profiteering especially on the side of fossil fuel producers and in retail.

> 5. A bunch of VCs decide they'd like their money back today, not in 20 years. A bank doesn't have it on hand, so it goes under.

It's not "a bunch of VCs", it's "GQP-allied Peter Thiel wants to see the world burn just to create additional mess for the Biden gov't and causes a bank run". The SVB crisis only picked up speed when Thiel advised all his startups to pull out their money, thus causing the bank run.

> SVB is certainly not blameless here, but the Fed's money printer and the government's wildly excessive stimulus has to be one of the worst policy errors since the 2007/08 financial crisis.

Without the "excessive" stimulus packages, economies across the Western nations would have been devastated by Covid. It was bad enough with the stimulus packages, I don't even want to imagine how it would have turned out without them.

I think important part of these calculations is answering question “am I free?”.

It should most likely not be taken to extreme like retire at 30.

But for me it is answering question if I can quit job on the spot and don’t worry. Other question if I can afford health care in case of family tragedy that will require years of rehabilitation.

If having nice things is taking away my freedom and would put me in high stress situation - I don’t want nice things.

Having FIRE kind of money in bank makes life easier even if you still want to work.

I agree, and I would add that that frankly I don't think it will take off at all until the UX for syndicating between YouTube and PeerTube were also buttery smooth. Even then, there need to be incentives for creators in addition to disintermediation (e.g. running ads on videos without having to negotiate your own deals). Then again, maybe "taking off" means "techies casually enjoy it" rather than "could become a serious threat to YouTube".
I drove a rental BMW a few weeks ago, and I think it had exactly this setting. Don't know if it does what you mention here.
The point of cryptocurrencies is that it doesn't matter how sketchy the founder is or how stupid there motives were. The ledger isn't under their control.

It isn't all that unexpected that the Monero founder is weird and has a colourful backstory. He'd have to be odd to found a project like Monero. It is darkly funny if he was then trying to leverage his leadership position to directly scam people though.
This might be an issue of phrasing though: ChatGPT isn't good if it has too many options, in my experience it helps a lot to narrow down tech and specs as much as possible. In addition, if you know how to do X in Z, you can usually quite effectively ask it how to do X in Y in line with Z.

Private enterprises are plenty responsible for this situation and similar past situations. Ironically (is it ironic I don't know), SVB got in trouble _because_ of the regulations. Time will tell if that dang govment got ahead of the situation early enough.
Right, I think even including recent development AI is incredibly over-hyped, largely driven by the technology being somewhat new and difficult to reason about and its limitations thus more than a bit nebulous.

Several technology bubbles have formed before under these exact circumstances. But this is like a whole new level of gullibility. Most of the reasoning seems to be of the line

1. LLMs have made impressive progress

2. basically https://xkcd.com/605/

3. SOCIETY SHATTERING IMPACT!!!

Especially noteworthy is that this is a point we've been at before with artificial intelligence in particular. This isn't even the second time, but at least the third wave of AI hype.

Don't get me wrong, I can totally see why OpenAI is pitching a future where basically all of society operates as a SaaS client to their API, what I don't get is why someone who isn't an OpenAI shareholder would guzzle that particular kool aid.
But this will only work if you already know route on which you are travelling and somewhat memorized patterns which occur there. For people non famililiar with this this is useless gibberish.

Also I find it more hard to navigate trought list with (for me) meaningless alphabet. It gives me vibes of being in China and not able to read what's on the signs.

IPCC AR6 synthesis report shows otherwise: https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/syr/static/2f8a061eaef8dbfc9c....

Nuclear is there, even if building new reactors would have a limited effect before 2030, but we would still need to further reduce emissions afterwards.

> This is all documented.

Things have changed. Fexprs are coming back in a big way.

You need to check out John Shutt's Kernel language https://web.cs.wpi.edu/~jshutt/kernel.html

Yes, older Lisps messed fexprs up. Kernel fixes this. The vau calculus used by Kernel is simply a lambda calculus that, unlike CBN and CBV, doesn't implicitly evaluate arguments. The rest of the calculus is the same.

What this means is you get powerful hygienic metaprogramming (arguably as powerful or even more powerful than Scheme's most advanced macro systems) at a low low price and with very elegant theoretical properties. In Kernel, hygiene is achieved simply with the usual lexical scope that's already in lambda calculus.

So vau calculus is simpler than the CBV lambda calculus used by Lisps. Because it doesn't evaluate arguments, so it does less than those calculi. And by doing less it gains the great power of being able to do hygienic metaprogramming in the same calculus, without second-class contraptions like macros.

Short version of it is, gorhill actually willingly gave the project away to a contributor who later started to ask for donations. This was not appreciated (hence the very explicit "no donations" policy gorhill now has) and caused a bit of drama and gorhill started developing his own version again. This part I didn't know, but apparently he's not that bitter about it as the guy who took over the project is quite young. https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/issues/130#issuecomment-96...

This is because they fucked up their duration risk handling, no one held a gun to SVBs head and forced them to invest so heavily in long duration bonds. If they bought more short duration bonds none of this would be a problem. Other banks didn’t make this mistake. So why did they do it? Greed, or who knows, maybe it was plain old ignorance/hubris. Still, it was 100% avoidable. SVB fucked up bad and pointing blame at the fed is just not making them accountable.

Like fuck, who are these dumb chimps running this place. When I help my parents plan their retirement I looked at 100 years of history of what normal fluctuations are in the bond or stock market. Looking up data like that takes an hour and should make anyone with basic math skills realize rate and the bond fluctuations that follow at 100% bound to happen given enough time. It was just absolute amateur hour at SVB.

I've used both MkDocs and Sphinx, and had better experience with the former. Sphinx is more powerful, I guess, but for my purposes MkDocs was enough, and it is much simpler to set up right. The Material theme [1] is very nice, looks good and search works out of the box.

Thanks for reminding me about this, I haven't looked at Material theme for a while, and it seems like they have some nice new features like code annotations [2]. Back when I was using this theme for some educational materials this feature would've been very useful to me.

I hated it because the software was shit. I only used it in rentals, so additional shenanigans were probably going on, but what I remember:

- on home screen icons for functionality would never stay in the same place. They were shuffled based on "recency"

- in some menus you could only scroll to the very top and to the very bottom, in others the scrolling would wrap around

- in some menus you went further down by shifting the knob right, in some by clicking

And other minor and not so minor annoyances
Hmm another thought - tie the gas pedal to the steering wheel with a steel chain/lock.

Sure, they can cut your chain with bolt cutters, but that's not exactly inconspicuous, and it encourages would be theives towards easier marks. Probably cheaper than a wheel lock, too.
The fact that they’re cooperatively scheduled makes them quite problematic.

Basically a leaky abstraction, you have to think whether your code will block or not.

Go went through the same process, before eventually figuring out that they do need to make their lightweight threads (goroutines) preemptive.

The “couple of cents” seemed like an off the cuff remark to indicate that leaded gas was less expensive than alternatives, but I would be interested in hearing about this delta as a percent rather than a fixed cost. Given inflation, gas price fluctuations, and the sheer volume in which fuel was sold, measuring it as a “couple of cents” is completely meaningless.
Looks like the tweet has been removed!
Oh yes, for sure! Speaking specifically about the US: Every POTUS (from both parties) during my lifetime has favored lower interest rates, cause jobs, "economy is strong" arguments - all means to look good during their term.

The Fed is now stuck in a really hard place - raise too much too fast and you get many more SVBs going belly up, posing a larger systemic risk, assuming we even "make it out of the woods". Pause / raise slowly, and you risk inflation running red hot, and people who are technically employed, live paycheck to paycheck start to rely on food banks to cover the rapid raise in cost of living - a tax on everybody.

The Fed is also fighting other dynamics like supply consequences of the Ukraine war, or energy crises, some of which are transitory, some are not. Still lots of uncertainty.

All this on top of a tug of (policy) war between an administration that favors handing out more packages, and the Fed's duty in achieving pricing stability. Can't see this ending well.
Yes, really. The Treasury guaranteed dollar-for-dollar redemptions for all investors’ holdings at the time the RPF broke the buck, following Lehman’s failure several days before [0, 1]. Only those who speculated on the value of the fund after that time lost money, and very little.

If for some reason a fixture is misbehaving, it's hard to find what package provides it because I don't explicitly import it.

I have to use `pytest --fixtures | less` and search for the fixture's name (or `pytest --fixtures | grep -C 50`)

> If you're instantiating the same fixture name across a bunch of different tests

It means I cannot name my fixture `database`, I have to call it `myplugin_database` instead to make sure it won't conflict with other plugins. And tests using this fixture have the long `myplugin_database` as argument.

Python already had namespaces as first-class citizens, it's a shame we have to go back to name prefixes.
It is my understanding indeed that Zig doesn't want you to build too many abstractions. I think that there is room in the design space for languages with few abstractions. That's also what the creators of Go intended, if I understand correctly, and that seems to work for many developers.

Your challenge will always lie there, you are not just competing with Appcues of the world but also devs. When Appcue came to market, cool onboarding like this was not commoditized, now it is. As much as it is looks nice, you have an uphill battle with devs trying to build it themselves.
