One argument for the debt ceiling is budgets, when passed, contain many unknowns. That said, a sensible debt ceiling would be closer to a government shutdown; discretionary spending is halted while non-discretionary payments continue.

Maybe it's just me, but I've yet to find a human who will confidently make up a function name that will do what I ask for and claim it is part of a standard library while that function does not exist at all.

This is a bit unclear. Would you object to finding mediocre speakers from underrepresented groups just to boost representation? I imagine so, and so would I.

Would you object to, e.g., posting to a mailing list mostly for black or women developers to encourage applications (without any alteration to the subsequent application procedure)? Well, I can’t tell whether you’d regard that as ‘organic’ and unobjectionable, or inorganic and objectionable; I’d regard it as the former.

Does that mean that I’ve succumbed to the ‘woke mindvirus’? Perhaps, but even if I have, I’m not convinced that such terms are conducive to curing me of it.

But you can’t use the Boring Company’s TBM to drill ‘real’ tunnels - it’s build for tiny Tesla car sized tunnels (which aren’t actually that much larger than the local sewer being bored)

Trains i.e. proper mass transit, require wide bore tunnels and cost increases with the diameter of the bore

A lot of the costs with tunnels isn’t the tunnel but things like the portals that need to dissipate pressure waves as trains enter and leave at high speed

The boring company produced a smallish bore TBM and then ‘oh look it’s cheaper than a large one’, there is no innovation there

Most surrogates are not selfless--- they get paid for what they do...in the US often $60,000. Some jurisdictions do require that women choosing surrogacy have to do it altruistically, receiving only reimbursement for medical expenses. This causes a shortage of surrogates compared to market demand. People looking for surrogates often then travel to jurisdictions where the laws are different to obtain them (I know people personally who have done this). The US is not the only destination, and there are less protections in other markets than in the US. Surrogacy is certainly not prostitution, but poorly regulated markets exist and pose similar issues.
> In most projects I've worked on, the proportion of GUI code to business code was different: I saw apprx. 70% GUI code to 30% business code.

Is it just me or is this a sad indictment of GUI libraries/frameworks in general? I'm not saying that the majority of situations I've seen are different, but while looking at these percentages it's actually sad that they seem likely, especially when you consider the lack of control most modern GUI solutions afford you and how you constantly have to work around their bad design. We're paying a lot for very little in the modern GUI landscape.

Interesting read.

What I would like to know is why they didn't take more direct inspiration form the "ML with Python syntax", namely Scala 3, and its "capture checking"[1].

> Fully 25% of Gen Z identify as LGBTQ. Among hackers that number is higher; it's likely a majority of late Gen Y or Gen Z hackers are queer

The figure is 20%, from on Gallup poll in the US and is unlikely to be a global figure.

Jumping from that to a "majority of hackers" is quite a statement to throw out offhand with nothing to back it up. Kind of undermines the rest of your argument which was otherwise interesting.

> a growing pain of open source becoming a real movement

Oh wait, and there goes the rest of it. Diversity issues aside, open source has always been a real and important movement. It doesn't take having a diverse membership to make a movement important, and making that a requirement before you'll take something seriously is quite problematic, frankly. I say this as someone who is generally delighted by diversity and the growing numbers of people who feel safe to identify as LGBTQ.
The point of democracy is not that everybody is perfectly informed to come to the logically best outcome. The point is that it gives a people agency over their own future. If they choose to be ill-informed and pick bad candidates, they own the consequences. Democracy does not lead to the best outcome, but to the most fair one.
The name SRS for a "software requirements specification" is well established and depending on how it's understood it could be written by the customer or written by the supplier. Colloquially, both "requirements" and "specification" are regularly used to refer to such document. It is similar to calling a document that describes test instructions either a "test specification" or a "test procedure" -- different people/projects/companies, different conventions.

What matters is to have a common understanding and work together.

If you find the right organization that uses the funds effectively, what's with donating your wealth as opposed to creating your own charitable organization? Also, I'm sure the tax deduction for donations is exploited when the receiving organization is non-profit in name only, but if the receiving organization really is an effective charity, what's wrong with the donor getting a tax break?

Or is the claim not that one approach is more effective than other in terms of positive impact, but that the wealthy, for their own sake, would be better off founding their own organizations?

The people who don't think this is a big deal are either lacking some empathy or don't understand how conferences work. The equivalent situation is something like being warmly invited to a wedding, which you accept. The bride and groom then spend time gushing over how great it is that you'll be there, telling everyone they know, insisting that you book tickets right away. Later, you're told you can only come to the ceremony and not the reception or party.

In short, it's hard not to feel like you just got baited and switched, even if the withdrawal is for a good reason. "But you'll still be at the ceremony!" isn't a good argument because that wasn't the original invitation, and because you're putting them in a very uncomfortable position having to decide whether to continue to go or not.

For context, I've spoken at over 100 conference events. There are very significant differences in terms of the keynote speakers and regular speakers — generally in compensation, status, time, and prominence, at least for conferences that are larger than community events. Not all of these may not be obvious to attendees, but overall it's a fairly serious snub to pull the rug out from under someone like this.

Among other things, this vastly increases the potential for artificial selection of embryos using PGS, for which there are already companies operating publicly (and dark groups operating privately). Concern over this isn't just "navel gazing" and should be weighed against the positives. There are a hundred of other questions which are valid concerns and your original comment seems dismissive of these. Yes some of us jokes about stealing celebrity DNA but it is hardly the only question.
I also think part of it is rust’s unique and complex governance model. Python, Go, C++, Ruby and Nodejs all had (mostly) a single leader who was in charge of the project for the first few years and who set the tone for the decisions which came after. If there was drama like this in Python, Guido would step in and that would have been that.

Rust has no leader - and as far as I can tell, it never had a leader. Rust is a motley crew of people who disagree about what rust is and what it’s trying to be fighting it out in unreadable GitHub issue comments.

Who is responsible for the decisions that led to this drama? It sounds like it’s some nameless committee that made bad choices here. But committees of people with mixed political skills don’t average out to being an effective organisation.

What? I have never seen these alleged "entitled gatekeepers". I have been passed to specialists with no issue. The public sector healthcare is excellent and the same medical standard as is received in the private sector.

Let's talk about that price. So how does healthcare work out for you in the US system if you cannot pay for insurance? In a public sector system you still get healthcare just the same if your income is zero. The total tax cost for middle (or even higher) earners in European countries is often less than equivalent private insurance premiums paid in the US. In private sector systems you still ending up paying out of pocket even when you are "covered" with those deductibles. So your overall cost is even higher. Don't forget in the US you still pay taxes for healthcare for schemes like Medicare so don't forget to add that on when doing comparisons. What does the typical private insurance policy say about pre-existing conditions and congenital disorders? You're fully covered in public sector healthcare. What if you suffer from an expensive illness? You may find your insurance premiums increase. Your taxes don't increase in public sector healthcare regardless of what illness you have.

Giving a keynote is being honoured by the event organisers. You've been specifically invited to talk. You're the headliner of the event.
It may not matter to you as a listener, but I expect it would matter to you if you were asked to give such a talk.

To have that taken away because you voiced a technical opinion some people didn't agree with is petty and childish. It wasn't even a political opinion, and it was public before he was voted on and invited.

China and russia might have had no restraint like you. Agencies in EU countries actually did.

"There is no law that prevents countries from spying on each other, so I don't know what you think is illegal here. "

Depending on your definition of "law", is there a law preventing agencies from going somewhere else and killing and stealing as they see fit?

International law is kind of complicated, but the basic idea is to not interfere with each other to keep the peace.

And activly hacking foreign computers is considered interfering.

How would you consider the act, if a foreign agency would hack the Phone of Biden?

Probably hostile?

Well yes, that was how it was considered in germany, when it became known that the NSA did hack the phone of Merkel. The reason why we are still allies is merely, that russia and china are indeed worse. And that is the reason, why the US is still kind of "the leader of the free world". But keep on doing Guantanamo stuff, hack every friendly nation, say "fuck the EU" and other countries might decide one day, they might as well stick with china then.

Some african and asian states made that decision already.
If you want to have your "private model" running just for you, you can use Azure OpenAI ... but yeah, like @still_grokking said, everything you do eventually gets uploaded to Microsoft.

With this specific project, it is running on your local host, so you can sanitize the data before allowing ChatGPT queries to suck it into the "cloud".

Generally speaking, you should not have secrets and tokens in your code in the first place. This specific ChatGPT plugin respects your .gitignore files (unlike CoPilot?). So if you do have some tokens in .env.secrets, but the file is ignored, it wouldn't list that for ChatGPT to read.

But you shouldn't hold tokens in your project in the first place, those belong in the running environment, not in the code.
It's true that there are other options. However, in the real world that might not help, because sometimes the erroneous circumstances which cause the test to be inaccurate will continue to persist.

For example, genetic parental tests are very accurate... unless the parent being tested has chimerism, in which case you'll get the very confusing result that the child isn't your own, even under repeated testing.

Including the lead-up and recovery period to take the whole process to a year or so, and accepting your very high estimate of $60k in surrogate compensation, that's hardly a windfall for the average American woman. There's far easier ways to earn $60k in an entire year in the US than carrying someone's baby. For American surrogates, there's usually an element of selflessness involved.
