I am a golang programmer myself, but you can't beat GAMBAS it's GUI programming qualities, it is so effortless to make a great quality prototype for a GUI application.

The language is very complete, even for me a as spoiled (having a very complete standard library) golang user.

GAMBAS is fun without being a childish toy, one can make very serious applications with it.

> Degrowth is about structuring the economy to meet the needs of humans instead of the needs of spreadsheets.

What does that mean exactly? How is the economy to be structured to meet human needs according to Degrowth and who gets to define what those needs are?

The Degrowth movement - and I'm merely paraphrasing from the Wikipedia article here - rejects the idea of economic growth. Without economic growth either the number of human beings has to remain stagnant (at best; more likely that number would have to be reduced to make such a system sustainable) or the overall standard of living would have to be lowered.

Merely redistributing wealth doesn't cut it either, because without growth there can be no further creation of wealth. Hence, such a redistribution would be a one-off event and at least in the long run most people would still be worse off than with economic growth.

The fallacy of Degrowth and similar Malthusian ideas (such as the Club of Rome's similarly named "Limits to Growth") is to assume that growth is a zero-sum game, in which inevitable someone - or society (or the environment) - has to lose for somebody else to win.

While thermodynamically the resources on planet Earth - and ultimately the universe - of course are finite, for all pragmatic intents and purposes they are not.

Given continued technological progress and ensuing paradigm shifts, it is entirely possible to sustainably live on this planet under the premise of both economic and population growth as history since the time of Thomas Malthus himself has proven time and again.

This is not an effective war strategy though. The same influence American politicians swear the Chinese government has over Tiktok can easily be obtained through any number of social media companies.

Moral high ground and fairness is the best strategy here. If it's illegal for all companies to capture this information, it makes enforcement easier and prevents foreign adversaries from merely infiltrating other companies.

There are plenty of influential people in the tech world that would sell America out for a quick Renminbi.
No, these days CSS is super easy.

That's my guess. They wait until the end of the day and see what they have in the store, since that's got to be the easiest of all of this to automate with cameras.

Then they see how far off the AI was for the day and work on error correction and send receipts.
I didn't realize the Flatiron Building was vacant and apparently in shambles. This guy bought it for 190 mil but from the article it requires another 100 mil to be renovated.
You've never checked a receipt on your way out of the store to make sure you weren't charged for anything you didn't purchase?
Again, I agree the base stylings etc. I do the same in each of my project using pure CSS specifically because I don't want to remember them all.

So I have all the same kind of files, and change the design tokens accordingly. The only difference is I configure in CSS whereas you configure in JS. You can bundle it all and keep reusing the same files as you would do in Tailwind.
Automated warehouses work well for larger items. The number of small items and also the variety of those small items make it hard to justify the space and equipment needed for an automated warehouse solution for groceries, but I really like the thought.

"International treaties to avoid nuclear proliferation and development, as other commenters have pointed out"

...you do realize that countries haven't signed that right, and nothing stops them from pulling out either, right?
"Virtue signalling"? Please. There are a lot of very smart experts on that signatory list who definitely don't need to, or care about, virtue signalling. Fine, ignore Musk's signature, but I don't think luminaries like Stuart Russell, Steve Wozniak, Jaan Tallinn or John Hopfield are doing this for "virtue signalling".

You can fairly argue that this will be ineffective, but a lot of experts in this field have real, "humanity ending" concerns about AI, and I think it's a bit of a cop out to say "Well, genie's out of the bottle, nothing we can do as we barrel towards an unknown and scary future." Even Sam Altman has been yelling about the need for AI regulation for a long time now.
You are also ignoring the fact that China does not allow our social media companies to operate in their jurisdiction. So part of this is a sense of fairness. Why do they get to operate here if we can't operate there?
No, you misunderstood the interface. While they certainly encourage you to use the weird biometric scanner it's in no way required. However you do have to have the Amazon app installed on your phone. When you open the app there's an option to reveal a QR code which you scan at the turnstiles.

But it depends on volume to make sense. If I want to be deep in a national forest somewhere with the intention of getting away from people and bring my horses, public transport just won't do it. With my own vehicle, that's not a problem. I love public transportation in places where it works and have used it a lot in the past, but I could never limit myself to it or totally depend on it - too many places it could never go. Freedom of having your own vehicle really is unparalleled.
That makes sense, though I still think that at 31 you still pretty much have most of your life ahead of you, so facing a lifetime of jail is a terrible personal tragedy, which is why I didn't pick up the implied sarcasm.

(But the personal tragedy is balanced against why the person is facing that lifetime in jail and all the victims who are suffering potential years/decades long harm.)
I organize my Obsidian around this concept, separating out different streams for different domains of content I'm interested in. Social, AI, Antilibrary, Wisdom, generic Inbox, and my own Passing Thoughts and Story Prompts.

I treat each of these streams as an input to growing my understanding & thinking in these domains, much like a stream of water nourishes plants around it. It's a big unlock to do things this way, because it treats inputs as opportunities not tasks. Different streams flow at different rates based on where my initial interests lie and based on interesting things happening in the world.

Most of my family voted for Trump, but mostly for immigration & military reasons. I don't remember anyone I knew in real life saying anything negative about Hillary on the basis of her gender -- though, as always, there was plenty of it online. Pretty much all of the negative talk I heard about her (irl) was about her emails, her policies, or her party.

(My mother is still angry about Hillary's "there's a cold place in hell for women who don't vote for a woman" thing, but that wasn't the main reason for her vote.)

The presidents bracketing Trump (Obama & Biden) seem generally feminist, so I'd be surprised that the trend started during Obama and continued to accelerate during Biden if something like Trump / related to Trumpism was a big cause. Maybe the SCOTUS justices he left behind could be pointed to as a continuing political pain point now?

I agree that our abortion statistics will become less indicative of the actual rate now that we're post-Dobbs; this'll be a very interesting time to look back on.

It's like the google researcher who claimed their model was sentient because he heavily coached it to give the output he wanted and ignored the output that didn't confirm his belief.

In that case, we've had AGI since ELIZA

If this was the standard in other areas of science we would still be using the miasma theory of medicine and bloodletting women for their hysteria. AI "Research" is a bunch of motivated people throwing stuff at the wall and claiming something sticking means they are scientists. Nevermind all of the groups are HEAVILY motivated to overhype their models.
You're right but I totally wouldn't want to go there. Not sure the police would be in a great to chase after somebody just because an A.I. sent them a bundle of paperwork.
> What's more complicated about taking care of a car today? In fact it's easier as the number of maintenance items has gone down

Electronics is what makes todays cars very difficult to repair down the road.

You're right in that when they are new it's actually easier to repair. Just plug in the diagnostic computer, it tells you what's wrong, you replace the whole module and done.

This gets very expensive though. For example I had a BMW with a brake light problem. In any old car that's a $0.25 bulb change, or worse case $10 in wiring if you need to replace all the wiring to it. Easy to do by anyone at home. On the BMW? It was a $1500 brake light control module that had to be programmed with a factory computer that only factory technicians have access to so on top I had to pay labor.

The real problems come when the cars get older. Any voltage variations from aging cables makes the whole system (everything is interlinked, unlike old cars) become very unpredictable. A friend is a BMW factory mechanic and the horror stories are endless.

As I noted in a peer comment, I had to sell for scrap a ~60K (when new) BMW that was mechanically and cosmetically perfect but had so many electronics glitches that it was impossible to repair without spending tens of thousands of dollars. What a waste. Such a problem is never possible with older cars, since the electrical system is simple and easy to diagnose and repair.

All the things you list as complex (spark plug wires, vacuum tubes, distributors, etc) are mechanically and electrically extremely simple devices. That's what makes repairs so easy at home without access to esoteric parts that might be out of production or factory tools not available to consumers.

> My money is on them being identified.

I would have guessed that their best shot at identifying the leaker would have been through their internal security team. Hoping that a technically competent individual will be uncovered by GitHub feels like a last ditch attempt by a company that doesn't appear to have internal control over their own IP.

Unless something is changed, you certainly can. I signed up with a Protonmail email over a VPN with no issues (though it's been some years.)
Recipe websites got the point, back when Google AdSense used to pay out properly. Google slashed those payouts to the bone, which led to recipe sites lengthening their web pages with paragraphs, so they could fit in more ads to compensate for the reduction in payouts.

Something similar will happen here. Today, recipes on Chatgpt are to the point. Tomorrow, they might start adding affiliate links to the ingredients. A year from now, the experience won't be any better than what you currently have on Google.

Much like the evolving layers of abstraction in technology, the necessity for individuals to master the intricate, underlying layers wanes as time progresses. The article brings to mind the analogy of Assembly programming; while there are undoubtedly experts in this domain whose contributions are indispensable, the majority of programmers can comfortably rely on higher-level abstractions without delving into the complexities of Assembly. As AI continues to advance, general-purpose programming appears to be following a similar trajectory. Individuals have the choice to either become one of the few specialists at that level or to embrace and harness the emerging abstractions, thereby unlocking greater efficiency and innovation in their endeavors. It is crucial to strike a balance, recognizing the importance of both mastery and leveraging AI to optimize our creative potential.

I'm guessing that the part that would make it make sense for me is that the Qt Creator is made by the team that makes Qt or something in that ecosystem that's a label they give themselves.

The increasing lonliness trend has been going on much longer than that, things are just coming to a head as it becomes more and more obvious that kids were sold a future that isn't going to happen. Real wages continue to fall while corporations make record profits and get bailed out when they fuck up, a college education just saddles you with debt and a job as a barista, housing prices are completely insane, and the consistent messaging is that this is all your fault for not working hard enough somehow.
There's a good portion on the Autobahn in Germany on that route, so yeah, it would be a pretty short drive.
It's an open question the extent to which language models can learn the underlying meanings of words.

There was a recent podcast with Sean Carroll interviewing Raphaël Millière where they go into this topic and some of the research on it. Two examples I can remember are: 1) DALL-E had subject-specific, domain-specific neurons, 2) language models' representations of color terms encoded the geometry of the underlying color space, e.g. vectors in RGB space.

https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2023/03/20/230-...

I don't think we should be too quick to assume how these models work. There's a lot that even the researchers don't know and these are empirical questions that can be studied.
Ah yes, the alternative is to be totalitarian. Exactly what I expected lol.

In the old days trans people weren't shooting up christian schools out of frustration. I wonder if perhaps society made a mistake by so many members giving them the false impression that society should accept them for who they identify as. In the old days they pretty much had to learn to accept themselves for who they were and not worry about what other people thought, both because no one was encouraging them they deserved acceptance and because few would have budged.

Young white progressive teens in general seem to be following a path that advances the idea society should be progressing towards acceptance, inclusion and mutual progress. Sadly lip service doesn't overturn human nature. Boomers for better or worse seem to take an attitude of "fuck you, on your own" and at some point perhaps it's lower stress just to not be thinking at all times you can control the thoughts of others.

re: minortom

Not an advocate against those able to consent doing whatever want with their bodies. Don't think my argument works against that. Although it would be a fallacy to suggest anything other than the current medical standard results in more deaths and thus advocating otherwise is advocation for suffering; the medical studies never claim it's impossible to achieve less suffering some other way.

I'm hopefully wrong but it seems like you may have made some assumptions that I want to control treatment options for trans people. It feels like I've wrongly been presumed as wanting suffering for trans people; in fact my whole premise was to find out why they are frustrated this way indeed with the hopes they can find new coping strategies.

To note, I don't see why justification is even needed for transition surgery. The (hopefully) wrong assumption I made here is that you stated it like it was relevant in the decision as to whether I should be in favor of it being an option. Even if it made them worse off, they shouldn't be stopped. It's a bit terrifying one even has to include efficacy to justify whether a consenting adult is allowed to modify their body, and worrying comment you've made IMO that presents exactly the kind of problems we have with hyper concern over the opinion of others on what we do with our bodies.
from the post: What I’ve realized is that there are tasks I’m willing to let AI handle, as this enables me to take on more ambitious projects.

I've started doing this, getting some boilerplate or even throwaway code from ChatGPT helps me validate ideas quicker than if I wasn't using it.
Not a fan of tailwind but grid by default is indeed a good basis for a design system and solves this easily.

I remember seeing articles with this same title 4 years ago. "Digital detoxes" are definitely a thing, but probably aren't indicative of any sort of long term trend. Kids will buy a dumbphone, use it for a few weeks and then go back to their real phone so they can look at imessage and discord.
Prompt receipt of a receipt is valuable to the customer. It enables them to promptly dispute mistakes, submit expense reports, allows for return of purchases (valuable also to Amazon: imagine the enormous headaches adapting a system to allow for the return of an item your system doesn't currently believe someone bought yet), etc.

Your article doesn't seem to be quite authoritative: It shows there's actually a lot of debate about this subject. There's even a responses section that shows there's some significant issues with the article and claiming it's not neutral, leaving out significant statistics like a less than 1% regret rate of trans affirming procedures (less than a knee surgery). I think it's still up in the air, frankly.
> I would dare say that 99.99999% of keyboard users expect a similar layout.
