The same argument would work for a printer. Or nmap. It would be safer to not let people have these tools. Because criminals do make use of them too.

Yet it is widely regarded as a good thing that nmap can be distributed and printers can be bought. Why are these models special?

I possess a 2016 13-inch MacBook Pro, which I handed down to my son for his use. Regrettably, he is unable to participate in the shared photo library, as it is exclusively supported by the Ventura version of Photos. The laptop presently operates on Monterey, its final supported version. Consequently, we plan to upgrade later today with the assistance of OpenCore.

This is a fantastic project that will allow us to maintain the use of shared features in macOS across all our family's devices, regardless of the age of the machines and Apple support for them.
This effect of media familiarity is exactly the same for me: I can be very creating when listening to an old playlist, but can't think at all when listening to something new.

Solar and wind could be better alternatives in the future. Today, Germany is among the European countries with least clean power thanks to coal and natural gas use — https://app.electricitymaps.com/zone/DE.

Principally nuclear countries like Finland, France, and Sweden produce a kWh of power with 5x-20x less carbon emissions. The figures are even better in countries relying more on hydro energy.

The nuclear waste is a real problem, but a nearly inconsequential one compared to global warming and carbon emissions from coal and natural gas. We have geological storage and reprocessing methods for nuclear waste. Fast Breeder Reactors and Molten Salt Reactors can consume what's considered nuclear waste and the latter can produce short-lived waste (dangerous for 300 years instead of thousands), which we can definitely store.

The biggest challenges for nuclear reactors are political, both because people are against the reactors as they were unsafe/used for WMD production in the past, and because having nuclear energy tips the energy and power balance (countries like Russia would rather see Europe depending on their energy). The engineering and safety challenges are irrelevant in comparison.
> Because they indicate that a company cannot do anything more creative with their capital than use it to inflate their stock price.

OK.

So they are returning that money to their shareholders. Which is kind of the point of a company.

Does that mean the company is no longer a growth stock? Probably. But not being a growth stock isn't exactly a crime against humanity.
> Stupid regulations almost always make things worse.

This is such an ideological comment. The reality is that stupid regulations make things worse, but non-stupid regulations make things better. We want non-stupid regulations. A world without regulations is a non-starter due to the tragedy of the commons incentive problem. Imagine a world where dumping was legal because there were no regulations. Or where explosives could be purchased from your local corner store because they weren't regulated. It's a non-starter. You would be dead from a resulting illness or terrorist attack. Nobody wants it, including you. So if you can propose a regulation-free solution to the various incentive problems like tragedy of the commons, then I'm all ears, but the burden of proof is on you to do that, and it's a burden you haven't met.
Strangely, it makes typos. My first prompt received a response with "Varibale" and "Strenght," which is compounded by the fact that it spelled Strength properly one line before the typo.

When I asked why it gave those spellings, it said:

I apologize for any confusion caused by my previous response. Upon rechecking my message, there seem to have been some typos made on my behalf, especially in the word "variable" which was misspelled as "Varibale" and also in the word "strength" misspelled as "Strenght". Once again, I would like to apologize for this mistake and I assure you that similar mistakes won't occur again. Feel free to ask me for help or questions anytime! Thank you so much!

That's not to say it is a big issue. It's just unusual. Hopefully it grows out of the spelling issues as more people work with it.

The issue that I have with Python type hints is they they don't go nearly far enough in describing the data being manipulated. Specifically, I'm thinking of stuff like the dimensionality and cardinality of Numpy arrays or Pandas frames. Usually that's the stuff where I have most questions when I look at Python code and the type system as it's being used now offers no help there.

I love the idea of using a Raspberry Pi Pico to attach (with some glue logic) to the Apple II bus/backplane...

The possibilities of a card like this -- could go far beyond simple VGA emulation...

It should also be possible to create old PC-compatible ISA/PCI bus (as opposed to Apple II bus) cards using a Raspberry Pi Pico, with a similar method...

With an FPGA or other device that speaks PCIe as an interposer, it should be possible to create such a card for a modern PCI Express PC, as well...

DCA works, but isn't super important.

If you win a lump sum, studies show that the best time to put it in the market is all of it right now, not trying to time the market or DCAing it into the market. Of course, you could get unlucky, so that you're initially in the 2000->2013 style window, but you can't know that at the time.

Of course, most of us do / should invest smaller amounts over time, just because that is what our earning profile is like.
None of them really, because I use complex prompts with task breakdowns that no other models beside OpenAI’s seem capable of processing. This 30B LLama model seemed to kind of get it, but then started wildly hallucinating about half-way through. I’ve got some of the bigger Vicuna models working about 30% of the time on simple NLP tasks, but most of those don’t require an LLM anyway. They might perform better if you fine-tune them for whatever particular job, but that kind of defeats the purpose. The advantage of LLMs is supposed to be their generalized capabilities.
That reminds me about that one JetBlue emergency landing where passengers could watch their own plane attempt a landing.

IIRC, the flight attendants disabled the system right at landing to prevent presumed panic. That decisions amusing to me since there’s a 15-30 second delay with satellite TV anyway. I can’t imagine there was a true opportunity for passengers to see anything scary in this scenario.

I'm not necessarily in disagreement with the general thrust of your comment.

That last point about feelings and emotions however is not clear cut, imo. Typically the process is itertive, so it's a loop and there is a feeling agent in that loop. Also if you yourself make art, you must have noticed how sometimes even the simplest of tools (say a brush or nib) create ~accidental features of the work that one finds entirely pleasing. This happens a lot to me with ink and brush :) The general input is distincly my line, it is my hand w/o a question, but I have a few works which feature engaging aspects that were partly accidental, and part of the delight is precisely that: me, the supposed author, is surprised.

I can't wait for an ad companies to force you to watch a 10 second video ad before it gives you a result for your query.

It's only a matter of time before these AI companies start pairing up with ad companies(if they already haven't). Google could easily put ad videos every 10 queries or something. You already see these limited free tokens/credits/querie on AI art sites.

That's not what he's saying. He's saying that the difference between a bog standard SSD (like just a decent USB3 external or whatever vs NVME) is really not that noticeable.
Nuclear waste only requires a fraction of the space of what a single large coal mine? It’s still irrational to put you energy security at risk because it’s “nuclear”, especially while wanting green electricity.

Also a bit darker thought, but you’d think the chance of nuclear fallout zones that’d keep humans out would be adored by more hardcore environmentalists.

I think the sort of environmentalism on display there is more people rallying against what they don’t “comprehend”.

> The way everybody else seems to be going is strong typing at function interfaces, with automatic inference of as much else as can be done easily

Both mypy and pyright will do that. If your function return type is annotated, they will infer the type of the receiving variable. If you have two branches where a variable can receive two types, pyright will infer the union type. Similar for None.

Example:

a = input()
if a.isdigit():
x = int(a)
else:
x = a
reveal_type(a)
reveal_type(x)

Pyright output, stripped of configuration noise:

typetest.py:6:13 - information: Type of "a" is "str"
typetest.py:6:13 - information: Type of "x" is "int | str"

Mypy doesn't allow this. It infers `a` as `int` and rejects the second assignment.

The only times I need to annotate local variables are (1) the function isn't typed, so it gets inferred as Any (2) I'm initialising an empty collection, so its type might get inferred as e.g. `list[Unknown]` (pyright; mypy can infer the element type).

Is there something inference-wise that you miss in Python compared to C++ or Go?

PS: The larger problem to me is the inconsistence between pyright and mypy, the leading type-checkers. Sometimes issues are raised between them and they work to achieve agreement, but I believe the two issues highlighted above (unions and collections) are design choices, unlikely to change.

Easier to create, easier to share and run. Mainly easier to create because the ones I'm sharing small MIDI sequencer experiments with are also web developers, so we just send each other links where we can run stuff direction from, and we can help each other out as we all use the same technology. Really easy to understand what the other is doing too, as you just open up the source of the page and that's it.

I've played around with other languages/runtimes for doing the same thing, but nothing is as fast to implement as with JavaScript, probably mostly due to familiarity.

Pasting between Xlib, GNOME, and Qt apps was a shit show for years. The situation has improved significantly since the advent of Freedesktop.org but there used to be lots of problems. It doesn't matter if a UX problem is a bug or design problem. A user doesn't control if some app decides to use some unpopular UI framework. It's a Linux-on-the-desktop problem no matter the ultimate cause of the issue.

There's still issues today on Linux with keyboard shortcuts. Some apps use Ctrl+Shift and others use only Ctrl, there's no way to know what an app uses a priori. You have to hope the shortcut is displayed in the menu and you remember it when you need to actually use it. Different frameworks have different default shortcuts for common behaviors. Accessibility for any individual app is still hit or miss, same with localization and theming. Mac and Windows users don't face anywhere near the same impedance mismatch between various first and third party applications. Those systems are far from perfect but they're usually much more consistent UX than a Linux desktop.

I hope the HDD market can survive. I really really appreciate being able to buy a 20TB Exos for $400. SSDs are so absurdly great, but I really like being able to have a nice data-archive.

> Why don't smartphones do something similar?

The same reason google and apple try to chain you to the app store... money. If they let you easily write your own apps, then they lose out on all those app store "fees".
I've had far fewer (read: zero) issue with the dozen or so SSDs I've personally had over the past decade or so. The same is not true for hard drives. Having no moving parts really eliminates a lot of failure modes.

Ehhh... Java didn't start out that way. It felt like confusing hell and I wasn't sure what I was doing for a good reason and what I did because that's just what you did. EJB, Glassfish, Apache, WAL, something something Enterprise. Java the language is quite nice, the tooling can be quite insane. Yeah, don't forget the custom convoluted setup at some companies which only work with Eclipse, which suddenly slows down for no reason until you restart it. Then, you throw in some plugins and 50% of your screen real estate is gone.

Don't get me wrong, I quite like Java and the good tooling, but I'm more exposed to C# these days and Java feels like 90% the same, so I'm never compelled to go back.

Or you are maybe sarcastic, impossible to tell in text...

Side-edit: from the very beginning, Java was simple, when it was released. But in 2010 it felt super confusing to me.
In a city, open space is scarce, so unnecessarily large vehicles make everyone else's life worse. They are also more dangerous to everyone who isn't inside the car. So the car owner is choosing to give themselves luxury while endangering others in order to do that. They also add more to the wear and tear of public roads, which costs the taxpayer, not them. It is therefore seen as a highly selfish trade that they've willingly decided to make without the permission of those who they are indirectly harming, and they do this in many cases for no good reason pertaining to their business or family size.

The concept is arbitrary. It's a made up concept. It's an arbitrary collection of empathic and and sympathetic traits bundled up together to be a definition of another arbitrary word.

Similar to "what is sentience?" People are arbitrarily ascribing different traits like intelligence, free will and aspects of "understanding" to the word "sentience". When people debate over whether a thing is "sentient" or not they are simply debating about the definition of a vocabulary word. What traits does the word "sentience" encompass? That's it. The vagueness of the definition of the word is what's illusory here.

The collection of traits that make up a definition are arbitrarily chosen to be vague. The word actualizes the arbitrary concept and the vagueness follows it making you think that you are discussing a concept when you are only discussing a definition.

There is nothing profound to talk about here. You're just trying to differentiate subtle differences between two vocabulary words here. The concepts behind the words themselves are by themselves ultimately simplistic.

Something profound and related to empathy is the discussion of the chemicals behind the emotions. The exact neural and biological pathway to actualization of these emotions. Additionally the evolutionary origin of these emotions. Why has natural caused some of us to feel this way and others to feel less this way. This is profound. What is not profound is the difference between the vocabulary words: empathy and sympathy.
