It's based on a sorta chunkified kisrhombille tiling (which is pretty sane). Which is based on 1-2-sqrt3 triangles. (Which are deeply humdrum).

So we have a serious "infinite chaos out of plain order" situation here. Which I call impressive.

We have like 10 different chaoses, depending on how you do your first tile. What would a superposition look like?

And it's pretty easy to organize, given that it's based on the chunkykisrhombille.

Hmmm. What powers would it give us, bigstructurewise?

Book publishers? As an author, I feel like the real problem is the EFF, the IA and the tech community here (who will mod this down as they always do). Remember, if the authors go bankrupt -- which is what happens when they don't get paid -- only the independently wealthy and the secretly paid will be able to generate books. No authors means no books. That's another way to destroy the library.

Authors deserve a right to make a living with their work product. Carpenters, plumbers and the like get the right to sign over their work product in perpetuity to any customer. Book authors only get the term of copyright.
Its weird to say but that title sounds fascinating! :D
The answer to questions in a headline is usually "no", and I see no reason why it would be any different here. The US government intentionally starting a financial crisis? That alone sounds way too unlikely already, especially since SVB is a regular bank, not a crypto platform, so the crisis would have no impact on crypto. And then the government bailed out the deposits. Also, didn't bitcoin just go up as a result of this?
Can't agree more. Been through the "please fill out those forms to register with our software reseller" thing too many times. In the end they order 2 licenses.

Then there's those who absolutely need to send a purchase order with a 90+ days payment goal for what amounts to be $150 or so. 75% of the time I agreed to that I have never seen any money.

The worst are K12 districts who expect you to fill out government forms (+ extra forms because I'm not from the US) then to order 1 copy they share between all their students. I just resort to sending them a free license they can legally use for all their students.

Then there's the notable exceptions. A social network site for professionals somehow manages to just order 20 licenses with a credit card. Same goes for a search engine company. Or a certain operating system vendor. No fucking PO required. No forms. They just get a corporate credit card and use the Fast Spring webshop I set up.

I'm really done with corporate/enterprise bullshit. They can go to my competition and shower them with stupid purchase orders for 15,000 units. I prefer to keep my sanity.
Where are you getting that should from? The base took a long time and was literally built like a bunker, but the actual floors went up at roughly 1 floor a week. However, there was a significant gap between all the glass on exterior being up and the building being ready for occupancy.

Part of this is tall buildings simply run into issues with workforce sizes. The same happens for developers building thousands of single family homes run into similar issues. They can build individual homes vastly faster than they can finish a large subdivision.

Elevators are also a bottleneck etc.
Worth noting that the electromagnetic force does not actually just use the photon.

The photon is the force carrier for hypercharge, and what we experience as electromagnetism on the macro scale is really a combination of hypercharge and the weak nuclear force.

>a large part of human trafficking in recent years.

Citation needed. The idea that human trafficking is a thing and that it has been increasing "in recent years" is a delusion. It is not backed up by the criminal processing data. And in fact the special "human trafficking" courts set up in the USA in the 20-teens were shut down a couple years later due to a lack of any cases to process.

Human trafficking being a thing to worry about is entirely a news media infotainment story.
It's also evidence of a crime. I wonder how that relates: if you just drop those entries from the database (or from the app prior to entry into the main db) then that seems like destruction of evidence of a crime?

It seems one should record all entries, but only update a canonical db if all entries fail to trip automated tampering detections.

I meant to reference Block CEO Jack Dorsey in my comment. I'm pretty sure he knows the intended objectives behind AML regulations and so on. I doubt that he would go "oh! I didn't think about this" if someone were to explain their purpose to him. Plus, in case that was your point, Chesterton's Fence is about a lack of reasoning about the purpose of the rules, not a bad reasoning.

I'm also engaged in a (way smaller ofc) FOSS project and I can relate a bit, but it's just not proper to mix the different kind of criticisms into one, and to create the image of one enemy. GNOME is big enough that there is a lot of feedback, but that only makes it more important to properly evaluate that feedback.

The file picker bug situation and the bug report handling was just horrible (the quotes in the thread above show that quite well), the project has only itself to blame for the negative attitude it got from that. Let there be praise that this situation might improve now (will take ages until GTK4 is everywhere, probably never), not use this situation to bash the users that took the time and effort to give their feedback.
"How much of a productivity increase is that? Well jeepers, if you’re only doing 1/5th the work, then you are… punches buttons on calculator watch… five times as productive."

So basically have GPT write the most interesting part of the code and then dive into the ugliest parts of development to provide finishing touches without actually knowing anything about the code base? Sounds like hell to me and not a productivity boost. There will be a new generation of coding sweatshops spawned around this idea by countless clueless MBAs.
That's a fine justification for ignoring something if you don't want to think about the implications too much.
You may be right, but this:

Yes, the FPGAs! Atlas and other experiments at CERN require such complex and hard-read time requirements, making them great applications of FPGAs. Right now, I am working on a project to try and deploy graph neural networks for track reconstruction and filtering (on the faster L1 trigger), as well as reconstructing other quantifiable measurements using graph neural networks (I believe this is not on the L1 trigger but requires some element of real-time). What's cool is they have copies of the FPGA boards that are at CERN at Fermilab, which makes remote development easier. Also, a fun fact: the detectors that surround the core are not all perfect concentric circles and are a big mix of different geometries and types of detectors, making the problem more interesting.
G1-G2 (Minor-Moderate) Geomagnetic Storm Watches 23-25 March, 2023
I'm more concerned that the people using LLM's will drive me insane. I hope that I don't get flooded with LLM-generated emails and documentation from colleagues and co-workers that don't bother to proof-read what they send me. It will be a frustrating day when I reply to them with a question and they don't have an answer because they don't even know what they sent me.

Multiply that by all of the boilerplate code I'll end up reading. No pleasant abstractions that hide complexity and are reinforced by laws checked by properties or proofs; abstractions that make the problem easier to understand and communicate. Instead, endless bowls of oatmeal code: similar, bland, and laborious to read. Who knows if the model "hallucinated" this code and whether the author bothered to check it before asking for a review. Who knows how long before I get bored and worn down and stop bothering to read it myself.

And then we're supposed to change our job titles to "Prompt Engineers"? How absurd is that. Nothing about what you do is creative, human, or interesting. Now your job is to feed sentences into an LLM to get it to do all that work for you... how long until that dead-end job gets replaced?

Maybe this could drive us all insane from burnout and nihilism.

Alternative headline: unsustainable business practices found to be significantly less sustainable when interest rates rise.

Other banks beyond Silvergate/SVB/etc were not explicitly prevented from doing business with crypto companies to my knowledge. It's just that their risk analysis teams internally decided it was not worth it. And, turns out, it seems they were right. You've crypto firm after crypto firm falling because of shady business practices, usually predicated on shoddy financial reporting that was either fraud or too opaque to deal with for the other banks.
Not saying that it wouldn't be an issue at older ages as well, since for millenia children learned by watching the other people around them and learning from them, not from screens. That's my essential point - that's utterly essential for infants, even more at that age than later. Not that suddenly it becomes ok!

But if we want to keep the discussion on topic, we should talk about the age group being studied. Beyond that, we want to have a different study.

I also didn't see anything about the type of programming consumed. I would think this would play a big role in things like attention.

A lot of the programming for kids is extremely low value - nothing of educational value, poor dialog, poor social skills/manners or violence, etc. There are even problems with the pacing a lot of times where it seems like the show is so fast compared to real life. No wonder you can't pay attention in a slow paced classroom when you're conditioned to have a 10 second attention span. I can even see some of this with my wife. She can't stand any sort of slow burn or intellectual movies, documentaries, etc. She just can't focus for that long if it's not fast paced. You can even see the general difference in pace from older movies or TV shows (like black and white old) and today.

Eh, it's a concise expression of an idea Charlie Brooker (of Black Mirror) and others have been promoting in their work for years. The famous-at-least-on-here Meditations on Moloch covers it, IIRC. Not really out-there or new. Capitalism learned to pull the teeth of any new counterculture, and turn it into a product, and the history of postwar pop culture is basically its learning to do that, then doing it over and over. The same observation dates to at least the '80s, from actual humans, it's not some gibberish mash-up created by an AI.
That's cool, but you could have probably figured out how to do that with a google search as well, albeit not as quickly. So your example speeds up something that was already possible, but doesn't necessarily introduce anything novel.

This is the basic tactic of fascism - government power circumvents the freedom guaranteed by the open market, corporate power circumvents the freedom guaranteed by the constitution.

It may be necessary to revisit the fascist question - we certainly seem to be revisiting the socialist one so horseshoe theory pretty much guarantees we will - but I will not entertain any fascist positions unless the person arguing for it acknowledging that that's what they're doing.

Not at all cynical. Well, it's cynical but warranted. That's absolutely what they would have done. And because negative results don't get published in important journals, they wrote the paper emphasizing the positive result they did find.
I think there are a lot of valuable insights one can take away from Stephenson's essay (it's a favourite of mine as well), and one person's key point may be another person's side discussion.

Stephenson did compare Linux to a tank, but he also compared it to the Milwaukee Hole Hawg drill, and that analogy (rather than the tank, which I'd forgotten about entirely) was more memorable for me personally.

His argument was that Linux was a very powerful tool for people who know what they're doing. The Hole Hawg has a motor that's so powerful, if the bit gets stuck, the body of the drill will spin in the other direction with enough force to spin the operator around (if they manage to hold on) or break their arm(s) if they lose their grip. People doing certain kinds of serious work want that level of power, but everyone else would most likely be happier with a regular power drill. Not only are they safer, they're a lot smaller and weigh a lot less.

Similarly, getting a tank with great gas mileage for free sounds pretty neat at first glance. On the other hand, if someone used to driving a sedan tries to use a tank as a drop-in replacement, the regrets are going to pile up pretty quickly. They might collapse some structures designed for regular vehicles just by driving over them, because tanks weigh so much more. They'll most likely tear up dirt and gravel driveways. They probably won't be able to park it in the places they'd park their car, because the tank is so much bigger. Getting in and out of the vehicle is more of an adventure.

There are definitely folks who would love their own tank - I know in Australia there are people that converted surplus WWII tanks into farming equipment - but most non-specialists would be unhappy with one, just like they'd have been unhappy trying to use Linux as a desktop OS in the era when In the Beginning was the Command Line was written, regardless of the price.
Iirc, employees are operating expenses and TVC can be capital expenses. One apparently looks better than the other.

Also, employees in the USA can be very expensive because of company benefits (mostly health care) costs.

It was widely reported at the time (and Rockwell was proud of their approach) because it was a novel and cynical idea. Even though Reagan had been elected people back then were still shocked by a cynical approach like that.

> You don't want to hear other reasons.

Untrue. I've listened, and continue to listen, with an open mind. However, I haven't found the arguments being put forth to be very persuasive. Being unconvinced is not the same as "not wanting to hear".

If an employee's productivity has become unacceptable, then you address it with that employee to correct the situation. If it can't be corrected, you fire them.

This is no different working from home than working in an office.
The thing about it is the distribution of wins is going to be different depending on the prompter, and that will make all the difference. As experienced devs, we can prompt the AI, and take the wins when they come, but deftly avert the nonsense when we see it, because we know what to look for. For experienced devs like you and I, this is a huge win and will result in productivity gains.

I worry for the junior dev. They can take the wins and feel good, but they’re going to fall for the nonsense every time, because they don’t k ow how to spot it. Junior devs are fed lies and they take them to be truths. Hopefully they are dispelled immediately when they are tested in code, but other lies will persist and be sold as truths. I am worried this is a bigger problem than people might think, cause it’s a feedback loop that can lead to a vicious cycle. We see what vicious cycles have done to social media, and social spheres, imagine what one will do to software systems.

Next year we’ll be graduating students who started college during the pandemic. I would say their programming skills are quite atrophied compared to previous generations. Now I’m worried in four years we’ll be graduating students who started high school in covid times and started colleges using AI chat bots. Who knows if these graduates will even be able to do anything close to what students even 2 years ago could do. They’ll all just blankly stare and reach for their iPhones like they do today, but exponentially worse because they won’t even be able to formulate the search prompt. They’ll need AI for that too.
