> Before the eeeevil robot came to be, no one gave much of a damn about artists or their opinion. Suddenly we are instrumental to humanity's culture, but people is too busy spreading hatred to listen to any artists that aren't in agreement, what makes me feel it's less about being an artist and more about being emotionally-charged "useful idiots" for anti-AI agendas.

Artists spread disinformation and hate too, in fact I'd count them as one of the primary sources of those things. Mere existence of political cartoonists is the simplest example if we go by the literal term "artist". Artists are rarely if ever divorced from their work either, so I don't think they can claim that the art really takes on it's own life.

I do agree with you on everything else you have said.
Koka [1] has “algebraic effect handlers” which are pretty cool. An alternative to monads for modeling effects in a sound way.

Lots of advances in theory of gradual typing. See with by Ben Greenman et al.

You have no idea what you're talking about. Houses are built to standards significantly higher than they used to be (aka, with standards).

I grew up around a bunch of these machines (and more besides, like the Oric). My dad wrote programming books for many of them, and was even on the front cover of the first Dragon User magazine:

https://archive.org/details/dragon-user-magazine-01/mode/1up

I’ve been feeling bad lately because I started programming at about six or seven and my kids haven’t been hugely interested (my oldest child’s computer teacher laments that most of his class don’t know what files and folders are). Reminiscing about this list of machines reminds me just how naff they all were, however lovable. You had to really work quite hard to drag much fun or utility out of them. Only eating what you can kill teaches quite a lot, I guess.
> Problem arises when People will blindly follow the diagnosis by GPT.

In this case, the problem would have been blindly following the doctor's advice – not ChatGPT's. The medical professional was wrong. Lethally wrong. If there is a lesson here about the trustworthiness of AI, then there is also a lesson about the trustworthiness of the average doctor.
The capital of BC is Victoria btw, counter-intuitive yes.. and i can't tell about easy to settle down, but i've seen more ppl from Victoria -> Vancouver, and can't think of a single one the other way around.

The progress in IT have already made unemployed millions of people. E.g. there used to be shops selling flights and holidays on every corner. There used to be a number of insurance shops in every town center. Every company used to have rooms full of typewriters and typists.

After the software developers made a lot of jobs obsolete, their own job is being made obsolete by the data scientists.
So you are driving around in a "24 thousand dollar" car instead of a "27 thousand dollar" car?

Is the "worth" making the car drive better somehow?

You got a bad price on a car and other people are going to get a lower price, so you should get what exactly? If you're bad at negotiating should the government bail out your bad contractual agreements?

This strikes me as some kind of distorted fear mongering
Related: Stop loss behaviour

Imagine two people bidding for a dollar bill. You start at 1 cent. Someone else bids 2 cent, etc. etc. Now apart from who bids the most wins, the investment is gone when you don't win the bid.

Until 99 cents all is sane, since you believe you can make a "win". At one dollar you still break even. After that, you would bid to reduce loss. How fare will you take that?

This example can be transferred to workplace situations(this is why it is related), relationships ... especially wars. Imagine how much was already destroyed and how many were killed ... no, surrender is not an option.

Humans sometimes justify any bid blindly on the one dollar just for minimizing loss.

Yet, most times it is better to get out early. You - as I - will learn that the hard way, because its incredibly difficult to identify in real life when and how you are involved in a stop loss situation.

But once you identify its stop loss: Get out.
We've needed "jobs" to support ourselves since we descended from the trees. Actually before that too. "Society" came about because we invented tools and techniques to make our jobs easier so people could spend more time on different things. "AI" is some more steps down that same path.

> In the next era we'll probably live like aristocrats, but instead of the work being done by servants, it'll be done by AI.

Not in the way you imagine. We live like aristocrats today. We live in vast mansions that have hot running water, electricity, refrigeration, heating and cooling, lighting, we have servants bring us gluttonous feasts whenever we like, we careen around in our horseless carriages and flying machines. We laze around many hours of the day wasting time on frivolities like watching TV, playing computer games, reading books, drinking and taking drugs, etc. We have armies of doctors and security at our disposal if we should break a leg or even get a sniffle.

So we live better than kings did 200 years ago.

Life might get better for the average commoner in another 200 years. There will still be the haves and have nots though. People with a lot of wealth won't want to share it with others, and people with less will be envious of those with more, that's the constant in the human condition.

Nobody with the robots is going to give money to a bunch of hippies to laze around. If they want a piece of it they'll have to either work to create it themselves or to take it by force. Either way it won't come for free.
Googling requires the user to interpret the results; ChatGPT can interpret them.

Frankly, I feel far more concerned with other actual humans that are turned into miserable wheels into whatever exploitation system they live in. Or with all these animals that are processed like emotionless meat bag at large industrial scale. Or even with the few remaining wild creatures out there whose species existence are threatened by the current Leviathan behavior.

If you are concerned with the way some potential AGI agent might be treated, maybe you should act right now in accordance with conscious beings which are currently so awfully treated. What is your opinion?

Can modern AI come up with new Javscript libraries, Open source projects, Browser Specifications etc
The new way of doing things that improve things.

When most people start using AI to make their work easier.
Then very few people will develop the competency to create new things, innovate.

> I shudder to think how much of the dev ecosystem would yet again depend on Microsoft's good graces to shoulder the burden of storage and data transfer costs for building products

Does that hint that the model of sending around megabytes-to-multigigabytes of VMs is inherently too expensive to maintain as a backbone for an awesome tool?

For the same reason, I wonder why provides Maven Central and NPM repositories, whether they will do it for free, but at least those are billions of small jars, not hundreds of thousands of gigabyte-sized VMs.
There's an absolutely massive ecosystem of tooling around it to make a developer's life easier and abstract away the confusing parts. No one needs to write K8s manifests directly if they don't want to.
>The Spectrum was less than half the price of a Commodore 64

Actually, this is an excellent development! The job posting, resume + cover letter dance has been an integral part of bullshit work for decades. Why not offload it all to a machine? The results will be roughly the same since it's essentially an overly complicated encoding mechanism for the initial stages of formalized employment negotiations.
No. I guess I got confused when writing earlier.

I can't say I've played with the newest generation of consoles actually, pretty happy with my Switch so far, and I don't play nearly as much as when I was younger, so no Joycon controler drift for me either.

Still though, I read tech sites and know a bit about this Hall Effect tech. Used some of those sensors in college projects for cool-factor way back. I'm excited to see those having applications in practical video game controllers today.

> Government lost the trust of an entire generation of people by trying to force them to do something against their will.

81% of the US has had at least one dose of a covid vaccine. Governments lost (but probably never had) the trust of about 1/5 of americans, 1/10 of canadians, etc.

I have no regrets for taking the vaccine. The reduced risk of infecting the people around me (especially loved ones) who are at-risk was worth a sore arm for a half a day. I’m acting in the best interests of not just myself but the people i love and my community in general. You’re deeply over-stating how widespread the sentiment you describe is.

Cool... it's just that your comment seems to imply that a lot of programmers were learning their basics when SO was already there to help us... that's only true for those of us lucky enough to be really young, like in their 20's :D.

“The reason this is still significant is because Apple hasn't made many changes to either the Foundation or AppKit APIs since then.”

Yes, Solaris was doing "containers" in the mainstream before Linux but pointing that out as a response to articles like these misses the point of how and why Docker exploded; it was Docker's UI, the user experience and Docker Hub that really unlocked the full potential of the technology.

Solaris containers didn't have anything like Docker Hub nor was setting them up as easy as "docker run".

> If homes are to be affordable that means more need to be built.

I'm not convinced it's that simple. Houses aren't widgets that you can flood the market with an unlimited supply to drop the price as much as desired. Homes cost a lot to build and use limited resources, which means at a certain point building more increases the cost.

Picture a city that is building only 1000 homes a year and then they decide to start building 10,000 a year. Will the prices drop? If the prices were very high due to excess demand, probably not because there is enough demand to absorb those 10k units without meeting all the demand, so prices won't drop.

Ok then, let's go all out and build a million units (let's imagine that land is somehow available for that in this thought exercise). Will prices go down? No, prices will go up! Ask anyone trying to build a home in a tight market, labor prices are extremely high because there is so much demand for a limited supply of labor. If this hypotetical city tried to build a million units, labor costs will skyrocket and so will the price per unit.

There are no efficiencies of scale left in a mature industry like house builing. Building more doesn't make the per unit cost cheaper, it actually makes it higher due to labor availability.

Germany is a leading industry nation with a marked 10-15% population drop (birth rates) in the 1990, which resulted in said drop in school and high school diplomas in the 2010s, and now the same drop in academics available to the job market. this lack of workforce is exacerbated markedly by a massive drop out of qualified elders into retirement.

and brains, brains with hands, are _the_ #1 ressource of an industrialized high tech nation.

too bad immigration offices are understaffed, and foreigner-FUD is omnipresent outside big cities. and too bad some lobbies convinced rural areas that fibre optics and cell phone radiation are bad for them. I really can't be but sarcastic. sorry for the rant.
> An individual is fucked if something happens to crater the price of their house.

If they've already paid off the house and they want to sell it without buying another house, sure.

If they have a mortgage on the house, someone gets screwed, and that someone is the bank that issued the mortgage. The mortgage is secured by the house. You can just let them take it.
FWIW I downvoted you for predicting that your comment would be downvoted.
I don't think "garbage" is appropriate. Yes, the spectrum definitely didn't have the expandability or build quality of the BBC, but the only people who cared about that at my school were those who owned BBC Micros (one of which was a good friend at school). Most of us were happy with our cheap speccies because they meant we were able to have computers, play games and write software.

Don't get me wrong, there was no comparison in the hardware - the keyboard was poor, there was next to no expansion capacity compared to the BBC, and there wasn't the graphics or sound quality. But it didn't matter for the most part, and while the BBC had some quality games (Acornsoft's versions of arcade games and Frak! spring to mind), the games we cared about were as good on the spectrum if not better (Manic Miner springs to mind). No-one talked about the issues in the way they do now. Only the kids with C64s and BBCs cared about the colour clash issue with the spectrum's colour attributes. It's clearly visible in games like Jet Pac, but no-one cared. We were living the dream, and there's a reason why I've got a spectrum in the house to this day!

}

I also made sure that the interpreter_loop call had an inline pragma, but that was otherwise a naive switch-case for the instructions. I didn’t find a way to make a template interpreter with safe Rust.

The existence of Elite and Driller running on such limited hardware at all is a product of true genius. Anyone decrying the Speccy doesn’t understand the impact of the price differential on its utility and popularity. No-one I knew had a BBC Micro (although they were in our schools).
I don't think at this point is as much as "you must take a mortgage" but more like they are interested in the collaterals to keep their value.

In any case, far from noise, the cause of steadily increasing prices is restricted supply.
