> If this law was in place when I was growing up, my life would probably look very different, and not for the better. My interests, hobbies, profession, my sense of humor etc, all have deep roots in the online communities I participated as a kid. More importantly, those communities gave me a sense of hope when I didn't have much.

There's not enough details but I take it online communities were social networks of that time ?

I understand self-hosted boards would still be available to teens under this law.

Otherwise, I don't see how algorithmic generated content benefits teens if the goal is to participate in a community.
Can you give some sources for the "learn to code" thing? I only remember that it was a reaction to the people who wanted to change open-source (perceived as "destroying from the inside") without giving concrete solutions.
Then let me iterate it more clearly. The reason "react new" is not a thing because from business perspective "react" is superior to "react new".

Hence newer projects are likely to pick react instead of solid/svelte
The simplest thing is to allow anyone to attend and simply kick them out when they show that they can't hack it.
I know people like to politicise things since it usually creates a simple sense of unity and to gives people a sense of moral superiority. Simple is good. We humans like simple. If we didn't go and simplify things we don't deal with every day our already complicated lives would become too difficult to juggle. Their political compass is generally irrelevant. And there's always people who don't like SOME type of change. Conservatives think trans people are crimes against God; Progressive people think more process and regulation in trans conversations is a sin against humanity. Everyone has it hard.

I'm only mentioning this because it helps to sympathise with every person, not just the ones that agree with you. Life has more flavour when you're not focusing on "us or them"
Why calm down yourself when you feel unwell? Keep on searching for possible headache causes. Three years I go I felt unwell, I went to GP and instead of trying to help me, they have been comforting me saying "all is fine, you are fine, it's just a virus"... Wasted 6 months going to GP trying to explain weird symptoms and finally was diagnosed with stage 4 lymphoma. Went through 2 lines of super toxic treatment and stem cell transplant. Listen to your body, you know better how you feel! Neither GP nor ChatGPT care about you!

Most managers don't know shit about management, they're only rewarding people that act like managers, irrespective of the role. There will always be more BS artists than honest, skilled people. A lot of people can afford to be this callous because thanks to the digital realm, in their view, their cap for the maslow's hierarchy pyramid is firmly in their grasp.

This is similar to how practicing cruelty often makes managers more effective. Also similar to how the primary role of an executive is the mismanagement of company funds for personal gains.
On windows I find it's much faster to use robocopy to mirror an empty folder into a full one than it is to delete the full folder than pretty much any other command. I regularly have to delete a 200GB folder with 500k+ files in it, and robocopy outperforms regular rm -r by a factor of two, and GUI shift+right click delete by a factor of 4 or 5.
That’s the total opposite most people around me (many immigrants from the US!) experience for the like last 2 decades actually, where have you been to that draws such a funny picture?

Europe has more % Entrepreneurs/Self-employed people than the US, lots of great companies even though not leading in the richest top5-ranking, and the work ethic is focussed during working hours instead of chitchatting/looking busy 12h+ per day.

Maybe you are also fooled by one critical thing: US companies are muuuuch better at marketing than European ones, outshining them so you tend to see exclusively US blogvertising and not where real innovation actually happens: all around the world now and the US actually falling behind.
> is more pressing and common.

More common for whom? This is an example of the kind of bias I'm trying to point to. They're not mutually exclusive, and so neither is more important than the other. That's why we call them generally "civil liberties".

In some of the TOP 10 countries, having the wrong religion (or none) can be just as life-threatening as being gay. And in others, good luck even walking outside to sort out your papers if you're a woman without an escort or a trans person.
Aren't we all stochastic parrots?
Maybe it's a bit like professional software development where developers no longer get to create products, they just are code monkeys that complete tickets that are specified to the Nth degree and there's no creativity or fun and indeed if you do anything except what's on the ticket then you'll have to answer for it.

If you are a developer who loves the art and craft of creation then you have to do that at home.

Work is just being a cog in an agile machine.
For the sake of argument, let's say yes, AI should be taken out of the hands of the private sector entirely.
As someone who's casually browsed the local for different countries before, I'm interested if you could expand on how they're not representative? Are there better English language equivalents you know of?
I doubt it. Kind of. The reddit use did not loose the job or money. What was lost is motivation.

Now it's just a "job". Without any spark.
It’s iterative. I pasted the same prompt/code to gpt4, and said the following:
„it removed polish characters from the text!”

It correctly figured out the problem and fixed it - removing only unicode emojis, not all the unicode characters.

Then I told him: „but it still didn’t remove things like :) :/ xD” (not specyfying that I mean non-ascii emoticons, not emojis really).

It replied by saying I meant emoticons and writing regexp for those and other ascii emoticons.
Good. Congratulations to them!

I expect that an "AI" should be able to give a thorough and transparent explanation to an unseen and unsolved mathematical problem with a vigorous proof.

But alas after years of AI hype, nothing of the sort has come out of that (yet). Instead we get hallucinating chatbots fuelling the hype.

What a shame for the AI hype squad.
Notes from Mastering Emacs Book Club Meetups: Chapter 2: The Way of Emacs
I got to learn to code using the school’s BBC Micros (and later, Archimedes), a sibling’s VIC-20 and a CPC6128 at a time when my peers had Atari STs and Amiga 500s (my family were a lot poorer). I loved all of them in different ways.

And while the unique hardware architectures were interesting, for me the really exciting part of this era was that computing was something you did/made at least as much as you consumed. Modern consumerist computing habits make me a little sad (but I still love my iPad Pro).

Typing in pages of BASIC you didn’t understand is one level. Writing your own code and making something new is another. And pretty much every single owner in the U.K. engaged in that process, there were books, TV series, it was part of the school curriculum until the age of 14 that everyone had to some coding, you name it.

The first book I used on BBC BASIC was an Usborne book that they’ve now made available for free download (the first one is my first book): https://usborne.com/gb/books/computer-and-coding-books

Consider the age group it targeted, and the fact it was about 50 pages long.

Where is today’s equivalent? Well, Usborne has some newer titles: https://usborne.com/gb/books/browse-by-category/science-and-...

They look pretty OK, but only one seems to get into the nitty gritty, and I’ve never seen them in the coding section of my local bookshops in London. I wonder if there is even the smallest appetite for these in families any more. It feels like coding as a kid only ever happens if it’s a family trade (a parent codes), or has a teacher who wants their class to explore what’s possible a bit. My niece was told she was too young to learn to code at 12, but I learned BASIC and was diving in deep at the age of 11…

The fact Harvard CS50 might be a first experience of building software for a bunch of people starting at University is slightly depressing (despite it being a very polished course).
This has been said for years, first about robotics, now about AI. And today, most developed nations have trouble finding people to work because there's so much work that needs to be done.

The opposite is happening, yet it's still repeated.
Nonesense. You can still print the offset and even if you don't, you can always infer which hour you are in from context.
Amplification allowed for more original creation.

AI is opposite of human creation. Its definition of anti-creation. Its a spell that locks visual culture to year 2025. And it can only do this by illeagly stealing all the human work.
Any multifactorial ranking needs some way of ranking the relative importance of different metrics, and obviously not everyone will agree on these rankings. One reasonable approach would be to weight factors by the prevalence of individuals who would be affected by it, ergo, something that harms women (50% of the population) would be of greater importance in the ranking than something that harms transgender people to a similar degree.

I don't entirely agree with this wholly utilitarian approach, but if we're just talking about stupid and pointless rankings, as opposed to judicial philosophy, I don't know, seems fine for a general audience and people who aren't a general audience should seek publications and rankings that are more targeting towards their specific circumstances.

For instance, I don't have kids. If I read a list about 10 awesome things to do at Disney world I wouldn't grumble that it's all about family activities and wonder why there isn't more in there for singles. I'd look elsewhere than the inflight magazine for what single people should do at Disneyworld.

In places where the bureaucracy is bad people find ways around it since nothing is properly enforced. You end up with a corrupt system which doesn't work as advertised and you simply need to learn how to operate within the informalities.

Linus Torvalds - Nationality American/US since 2010 (should I write GNU/American/US? Someone educate me).

Erlang - I don't know anything about Erlang so I've got nothing to say.

Nokia - brutally ejected from the market by the Americans, bought out and sepukku-ed under Microsoft leadership. Now phones may as well be an Asian technology. Oversaw the collapse of European leadership in the mobile space, to the point where it is going to be a case study in how to fail at innovation.

Spotify - Leading EU tech success story. Makes up 50% of the counterexamples, along with ASML. Not detectable as a serious tech company when compared to Google, Microsoft, Amazon, etc, etc.

HTML - I mean, we'd probably have managed without the Europeans on this one. Although useful, HTML isn't a very technical accomplishment. Anyone could invent this, including most CS undergrads.

To my understanding systemd does proper job here, as it supposed to be, highlighting the issues with other subsystems - be it badly written scripts or misorder of shutdown sequence, those parts were ignored by "traditional" init systems before.

A good old Google search followed by reasoning on what you have found is still the most valuable tool. Learn to sift through information, filter, ingest.

If it weren't for the spinning up the private company, perhaps they wouldn't have the money to get where they are now and they would be yet another snow flake in the AI Winter?

How much of that was achieved while the company was a non-profit and how much was the value added once they spun off the for profit company?

Did OpenAI the non-profit give any secret sauce to the for-profit arm?

How does this relate to the many spinoffs from educational institutions that also receive donations and/or taxpayer money?
There's no doubt that this artist has lost something as a result of AI (the pleasure and enjoyment of their job). But we should also ask if we are at risk of losing something as a society.

> podman runs or builds containers?

It does… in the same sense that docker (the program/tool) does, that is: both are not container runtimes (such as containerd which docker uses, or runc and crun which are the options typically used with podman) but a container management tool that control a container runtime. So you would indeed use podman to create a container just like you would with docker.

As for building images, buildah is the tool most used in the podman community for that. and yes, both podman and docker can handle containerfiles (what is/was called "dockerfiles" in the docker world)

> need something for my weird windows+wsl setup

oh, well, uhm, my condolences for that. Luckily I never had to use that for containers, but a quick look on the podman homepage tells me that they also offer a virtualized WSLv2-based distribution for Windows users: https://podman.io/getting-started/installation.html#windows
…And of course, there is Podman Desktop if you want something more click-UI-based than the command line podman (never really tried it though, so I can't really say if it's good or not): https://podman-desktop.io/

A few weeks ago I was scanning a shoulder with unusual muscle denervation.

The images have their signal boosted by AI, and resolution doubled by AI. I described the image findings to GPT and asked for a differential.

The radiologist thought the results reasonable.

It was AI all the way down.
> I really wished there was a GC-ed but strictly-evaluating Haskell.

To answer this question literally, there are PureScript (transpile to JavaScript), Idris (dependently typed), OCaml, and Standard ML (as discarded1023 pointed out).

But I think the wish for a strictly-evaluating Haskell is sometimes in fact a wish for a Haskell with more predictable performance (especially in memory usage). If so, the Linear Type/Arrow of recent GHC may fit the bill [1].

My wish is for Haskell to have a better runtime [2] with optimal reductions (with more predictable performance and without GC) [3], which could have Rust-like performance without lifetimes, while being lazy.

> Of course, I would love to live in the world that you dream of, I'm pretty sure that's what post-scarcity communism looks like. I just don't really see any indicators in terms of public policy or business attitude that indicates that will be the case.

That's true, but let me give an example of something I've experienced in my own lifetime. In about 1996 I heard about Open Source software and after wrestling with the idea for a bit I became a convert and threw out Windows and installed a Linux distribution on my home machine. At the time, when I talked to people about Open Source software, there was a near universal reaction of, 'nice idea, but it'll never catch on' and they would go on to give me many reasons why this utopian idea would fail. Now, 25 years later, Open Source is a great success.

As a postscript, I got into making contributions to Open Source and I still do. Maybe one day my mind will be too addled to code, or perhaps an AI will do it better than me, but until that day I fully intend to carry on with Open Source contributions.

The rise of website builders like Wix, Squarespace, and Shopify has drastically changed the web design and development industry. As a co-founder and lead developer of a small design/development team, I loved my job and was passionate about creating beautiful and functional websites. However, as more and more clients turned to these DIY platforms, I found it increasingly difficult to justify our higher prices. While our work was more sophisticated and better optimized for SEO, clients often didn't see the value in paying £10,000 or more for it.

Ultimately, I realized that our trade had become commoditized, and I made the difficult decision to sell the business and move on. I transitioned to a new role as a Product Manager, and over the years, I've climbed the ranks to become a CTO at a scaling startup. Although I miss the thrill of being a developer and creating websites from scratch, I've found new challenges and fulfillment in my current position.

If you're facing a similar situation, I'd suggest exploring other avenues to keep your passion for development alive. Consider taking on side projects as a hobby, collaborating with industry friends to start an indie project, or even teaching others about web development. Just be sure to carefully review any non-compete agreements with your current employer before pursuing any new ventures. Remember, although your job may have changed, your passion for creating great websites can still thrive in new ways.
> Their quality of life will increase because of all the cheap stuff we can make with ai and robots.

Ahh, the old "modern poor people are better off than medevial kings since we have microwaves and supercomputers in our pockets". No matter that they are all stressed, living paycheck to paycheck and a single (treatable) disease from crippling debt.
Also, systemd comes with a timeout, after which it kills the app anyways, so I think you can surely configure that 90s timeout to be something like 5s or so, which then is much faster.

But as you wrote, If someone really cares, they would fix it.

PS: But what usually gets me about these 90s waits whenever I get them is that the message does not say which thing (unit, etc) is the issue. THAT is something worth criticising.

ChatGPT is on a hype wave at the moment. Stories like these are going to become more and more irritating before the hype subsides.
The number of nines required for manned missions is far larger, so not a good comparison.
At no point is a "moat" defined! Perhaps I am in the minority but I thought this was going to be about medieval castle defences.
Just yesterday, I gave the ChatGPT prompts to generate Midjourney prompts. It transformed a simple sentence of "Portrait of beautiful woman on the beach with yellow dress." to the specific output of prompts with different lenses and lighting setups generated with astonishing results. My input in the process was minimal. No compositional skills or artistic taste. Powerful tool? Yes. Productivity is not an Artistic measure. Transitional value and personal expression is.
But hey, be productive while you can.

> I wanted to create form In 3D space, sculpt, create. With my own creativity. With my own hands.

I think this is difficult to get over within a few years, let alone overnight. I can sympathize as a programmer - only very recently did I notice that I can finally implement a feature or create a new program and have it work on the first try. That took years of practice (for me at least) and I feel like I've really learned a "craft".

On the other hand, as a kid I first got into programming because I wanted to create computer games. And the only time when I actually did that consistently was before I knew any programming languages, just point-and-click tools specifically made for creating games. I eventually studied CS, on my way to making games got sidetracked by learning OpenGL and graphics programming, interned at a gamedev company where I did more graphics programming and learned that this is not the industry for me even though (or maybe because) I love games. Now I've been doing backend programming for a few years where I've been way more concerned with data and architectures than I am with what it's actually for.

I feel bad for people who love the process more than they love achieving a goal. Sometimes I really love coding, solving little challenges, optimizing something, the feeling of having build something basically by meticulously translating an idea into something a computer can understand in every detail. But sometimes it gets really boring. Writing yet another REST controller. Copying and mapping the same data object. Handling errors. It feels like I'm solving the same problem over and over and over again.

Then I think about what I would be doing if I didn't feel like it was too much work to make it happen. I have an idea for a game that's currently impossible to do unless you have a team or at least one extremely experienced and multi-talented game developer with no job. I have several ideas for web services that I could figure out, but don't have time for. Finally at my job, my team currently has absolutely no way of properly dealing with a decade of technical debt.

With AI, I can see myself actually making these things happen, as long as I'm willing to give up some control over how it's done.

Which comes with a little bit of alienation, unfortunately. Maybe that's how older programmers felt when switching from punch cards to assembly, from assembly to compiled languages, and from those to interpreted languages. Obviously the step to AI will be bigger than that. Same with artists: I'm sure many people were discouraged by not holding a brush anymore, or molding something with their hands. Some just love the process of bringing an idea into existence, others just want it to happen by any means necessary.

Personally, my way of dealing with this will be focusing on seeing technology as a means to an end again, which it always has been. Falling in love with a specific tool is not a good idea in an era where changes happen faster literally every day.
