Bash and most alternatives are full of footguns. However, they are really convenient to glue together different components, e.g. a data preprocessing system.

Personally, the way I avoid footguns is to use a functional style. Filter instead of conditions and map instead of loops. GNU Parallel makes this straightforward, including distributed commands across machines! Aside, it is easy to emulate relational algebra with grep, sed, and awk.

A good essay describing some of the advantages of this approach is: http://widgetsandshit.com/teddziuba/2010/10/taco-bell-progra...

> Really? I have top of the line healthcare through my employer in the US, which also covers my wife and teenage daughters, which costs me essentially nothing.

Very few people in the US have top of the line healthcare (hence, why its “top of the line” and not “typical”), and if you do it costs a lot per covered person, even if it is less visible because instead of a salary deduction instead a large chunk of money that the company is willing to pay for your labor just goes straight to an insurer without being part of your nominal pay.

(I, too, as I suspect is fairly common for HN readers given the demographic tendencies, have excellent healthcare in the US, abd most of the cost isn’t a salary deeuction, but the cost is nontrivial.)

> NHS in the UK is collapsing, but even if it didn't, qualitatively it's orders of magnitude worse than what one would receive in the US through one's employer:

Over 1/5th of US workers (not residents, people actually employed) aren’t eligible for any employer health insurance, and for many of the rest it is quite bad, with very high out of pocket costs if you actually need any non-preventice care. NHS may be worse than what you or I have through our employers, but “top of the line” isn’t the usual experience.

> Yes US healthcare has issues but it's nowhere near as bad as UK.

...if you are part of the relatively narrow elite in the US with top of the line coverage, and for that the US pays more than a time and a half what the UK does as a share of GDP, and more than double what the UK does per capita...while leaving over 12% of adults and 5% of children uninsured.

> To write a fast compiler, it has to be fast from the start.

The focus on compilation speed is one of the reasons I'm so interested in Zig.

The compiler uses an interesting data-oriented design to represent the AST nodes, etc. You can read about it here:

Aside from the editorial control over which facts are included/omitted, that you rightly mention, the bigger issue with facts is who gets to decide which facts have been proven, and which haven't been. If you accept the premise that there are no universal truths, no facts that have been absolutely proven and can never possibly be falsified (a premise that you're free to reject, though I'm rather certain no proof of fact exists that cannot be invalided by the munchausen trilemma), then you should also accept that the process of validating a fact is naturally subjective.

The role of the fact validator is to evaluate the proof, and decide whether it meets a subjective criteria that elevates it to the level of fact. Controlling this process allows the fact validator to decide which information is fact, and which is not. Even when you have a rigid criteria for evaluating facts, the criteria itself is going to be subjective and opinionated, and no matter how much you try to control it, the fact validator will have some leeway in interpreting the criteria and how it applies differently for different facts.

This is one of the roles of a jury. When a jury is presented with conflicting accounts of facts (as they often are), one of their jobs is to review the evidence and come to a consensus on which facts (in their opinion) are true.

There's also the issue that statements of fact, and statements of opinion are not quite that clear cut. Consider the statement "He attempted to undermine the process", which is the sort of thing I could hypothetically imagine a fact checker attempting to validate. It's a statement of opinion that potentially alludes to statements of fact. If you break it down into how you might reach that conclusion, you'd have: "He did a thing" this is a statement of fact (whether it's "proven" or not). "The thing he did undermined the process" this is more of a statement of opinion, as it presupposes what the process is intended to do, and how the thing he did influenced that. "It was his intention for this thing that he did to undermine the process" and this is unambiguously an opinion as all cases of attributing a motive are naturally opinionated.

But keep in mind that this whole argument I'm making is based upon the idea that there are no universal truths (which relates to philosophical ideas like relativism and absurdism). These ideas have their critics (such as Plato who criticised Socrates' interpretation of them), but I've never heard any satisfactory (according to me) explanation of how you might go about proving a universal truth (with universalist ideas typically only being embraced by religion, and perhaps ironically the anti-religion moral universalist camp, people like Richard Dawkins)

It’s interesting to dismiss this criticism as “impossibly high standards” when VR as a market is clearly a disaster. The person you replied to is of the same opinion as the vast majority of consumers, who have either not purchased a headset or did, but now leave it in a closet gathering dust. VR clearly will not be viable on a massive scale until it takes a major leap forward.

> grew up poor AF in a 3rd world country with no resource (no running water, a hole for a toilet, and we used lamps at night to study)

My own dad grew up without indoor plumbing in the US for much of his early childhood (I think until he was 12 or so; his older brother would have been 20).
Much of the rural areas of the US didn't have electricity, or at least indoor plumbing, until the New Deal started moving things in the 1930's. Robert F Kennedy even remarked on the lack of utilities in his 1968 tour of Appalachia.

He (and my aunts and uncles) raised us to appreciate what we have, and to understand the difference in life that working hard and not being wasteful can make. Though normal (perhaps even small) compared to most suburban houses in the US, what I grew up in was practically the lap of luxury compared to the farmhouse he did.

I'm still amazed at how few people seem to appreciate the difference one or two generations' time has made on life here.
I think it’s is quite observably already happening. We have a growing portion of anti social shut ins and the problem is only getting worse.

I think people underestimate Safari. IIRC "back in the day" they were the first to get 100% in supporting all of ES6. Conviently, they were first in supporting the things I care about - like backdrop-filter and css scroll snap. Safari/Webkit/JSC is faster at executing javascript as well.

There are two separate web views that apps can use.

SFSafariViewController - content blockers will work with this. It’s an out of process web view that the host app has very little control over.

WKWebView gives the developers a lot more control over the web view and it runs in process. Content blockers don’t work in these views.
~30MPG, ~10K miles a year is about $1200. And even if you can get a car for $1000 (much harder to do post-Covid!), that car is about to rack up a large and unexpected bill. The last year I had our second car, the rust fix to pass inspection was a $2k quote.

And buying cars can be a stressful process, it's not like you can just walk down the street and pick up another $1k beater whenever you want. Car buying often involves arranging rides and childcare for car shopping, and being forced to settle with whatever's out there when you need it.

Yes, you can undercut $9k if you find a cheap car and some luck, or if you know how to work on it yourself, or if you live in an area where salt doesn't destroy your car, if you don't have kids so you can go subcompact, etc. But in my experience, when you buy a cheaper, more high-mileage car, you're not saving a ton vs buying a similarly equipped lower-mileage car. It's more a matter of when you're spending the money.
Travel by car has covered the land with pavement, polluted the air, and filled our public spaces with endless noise.
In retrospect, cubicles were just aesthetically unfortunate and a convenient target for those who wanted to mock business culture (a la Office Space).

The constant grind of YouTube hasn't seemed to stamp out Linus' enthusiasm for content creation; I still wonder whether the company can transition him to fewer videos per week eventually so he can get back a little more work/life balance.

This may be the first step down that balanced path, as there's no healthy way someone could put out that much content per week (even if here were just the talking head, and didn't have input into the process—which he does), host a multi-hour weekly podcast, and run a company with 100+ employees.
“Although new expression, meaning, or message may be relevant to whether a copying use has a sufficiently distinct purpose or character, it is not, without more, dispositive of the first factor. Here, the specific use of Goldsmith’s photograph alleged to infringe her copyright is AWF’s licensing of Orange Prince to Condé Nast. As portraits of Prince used to depict Prince in magazine stories about Prince, the original photograph and AWF’s copying use of it share substantially the same purpose. Moreover, AWF’s use is of a commercial nature. Even though Orange Prince adds new expression to Goldsmith’s photograph, in the context of the challenged use, the first fair use factor still favors Goldsmith.” [emphasis mine]

It's reasons like this that make me skeptical of the claims that AI training is slam dunk fair use, independent of the downstream purpose and usage of the models.
Of course it's a guess. Nobody knows what will happen.

My favourite comparison is that the A16 chip can do 1 million times more operations per second compared to the top of the line System 360 mainframe.

I think the assumptions many are making incorrectly is that the workplace is the center of one's social life. This is truly the triumph of a bizarro and dreary corporate capitalist individualism and an indictment of the state of our families and communities. Certainly, the workplace is a part of our social lives, but the argument that WFH leads to isolation should lead the arguer to reflect on what is wrong with the way he is living his life rather than condemn what I think is a welcome change. IMO, remote work can amortize the affects of market changes so that people aren't forced to uproot their lives to find work. They can work in the vicinity of their children. They can save time by avoiding commutes. All of this seems to contribute to the formation of community because it reduces social churn. Once communities form, the other aspects of community life can come into existence that open up the possibilities that are attributed to the workplace but that are not proper to it. The notion that you cannot make friends or find a spouse or whatever without the workplace or corporation being the social organizing principle is truly horrifying. This echos the WEF's ideas of how social life ought to be organized. I think that remote work will also cause a redistribution of other kinds of labor that office workers have long benefited from (like the restaurant industry). All of this seems to enable better social conditions.
This is true, which is why I didn't say that.

It's a spectrum. As a biker, of course I prefer real, separated lanes. But there are plenty of roads that I will bike on despite having only painted-on lanes. Others might be less lenient (would only bike on separated lanes) or more lenient (the die-hard lycra warriors). Even just having a painted-on lane is an improvement because it accommodates some people who previously wouldn't have biked, and that's still an improvement, and it's an approach that can be done very cheaply. That doesn't mean we should be satisfied with only painted-on lanes, but I won't let the perfect be the enemy of progress.

sure - I agree with this, but I think this goes both ways. I will give a parallel situation that I think about quite a bit: cars. Cars have quite a bit of the same benefits as remote work. You can live further from work, you have independence, and quite a bit of the concrete negatives (e.g. no more crowded public transit) generally go away. But we now know that designing society around cars was a mistake. It ends up being bad for everyone and is more isolating by default. I'm similarly concerned about doing something that will make Americans more isolated by default.
The definition of life involves many scenarios that do not need to be related to artificial intelligence. I think you were suggesting the term sentience. However, we should likely devote our energies to AI tools that do not attempt to mimic or achieve sentience. We can make tools that are far beyond the capability of humans while not requiring sentience as part of that equation. Machine sentience and intelligence are independent.

still C and C++ have a totally different approach to program design: A C project of non trivial size will have lots of insane tricks with macros and callback functions, whereas C++ has entirely different methods of abstraction.

I think that's a very significant difference.

Also C++ has this std::unique_ptr<> thing that helps a lot with preventing memory leaks. And C++ has stl, so you won't have to write your own list/array/map abstractions.

There's nothing I hate more than coding exercises in technical interviews, but the team wanted it, so there's a pretty simple one. I try to make as clear as possible in the preamble before we get to that part of the interview that I consider it to be a casual exercise, and have will offer to pair program with candidates who freeze up.

I honestly don't care if they know the answer to some leetcode problem (also something I state in the preamble), I want to see how they break down a problem, and if they get stumped, how they work with other people on it.

In the example I gave before, I had to explain to the candidate what the code they copy / pasted from the internet did. That might be fine for a junior candidate, but for someone with "10 years" of experience with the language, it's a non-starter for a senior programmer.
They claim to have 2 or 3 qubits, depending on the model. Notwithstanding the people howling about Shor's and whatnot in this thread, the claims about its capabilities are entirely underwhelming.
The limit of LLMs becomes clear when we consider how they work. They gain their abilities from imitation learning. They imitate human text. This could get them to Wikipedia level intelligence (or knowledge), which might be somewhat superhuman, but not much further.

To really go beyond human intelligence, you'd need a system which isn't constrained by imitating text. In fact, animal brains probably work by predicting sensory experiences (predictive coding), which are a function of reality. Unlike predicting text, which is a function of human ability.
