The result of that is people stick to a know list of apps, and the chance of new apps breaking in is almost impossible.

Yeah, I've spoken to people who've had trouble internalizing that it can't search the web even after I've explicitly told them that. The "upon double-checking" message from ChatGPT is especially egregious — it's straight-up lying about how it arrived at that response. There really should be a layer on top of the chat UI to alert the user if it detects a response like that.

In this specific case humvees were particularly ineffective against the IED-based warfare being conducted in Iraq and Afghanistan. Light, fast, vehicles are not particularly resilient to explosives.

Also, while the 20” battle rifle does provide superior ballistics for the 5.56 round, it’s unwieldy and there was a fair bit of CQB during the GWOT. 14.5” carbines were a sort of middle ground that could perform in both long range and short range engagements. Night time direct action raids by special forces even opt for shorter 10.5/11.5 barrels.

I recommend Jeff Gurwitch on YouTube he goes in depth into the history and rational behind equipment evolutions during the GWOT from a first hand perspective as an ex-SF soldier.

You think it's bad now, imagine 5 years from now. This version of Copilot is just the beginning. Will you care about skill rot when everyone else around you knows the skills to effectively use the new generative AI models and is producing 5x?
The difference between teflon and PFAS is in the hydrophilic "head".

Basically, teflon consists just of long chains of carbon atoms saturated with fluorine. They are extremely chemically resistant, and they appear to be biologically inert. Even if you heat the teflon past its decomposition temperature, you simply get pieces of the hydrocarbon chain as a result. They are nasty, but they are not persistent pollutants.

PFAS are different. They also consist of a chain of carbons with fluorine atoms attached to them. But they also have a hydrophilic "head" attached to them at the beginning of the chain. This hydrophilic head allows PFAS to function as surfactants, and it also makes them biologically active. The body can't do anything with the hydrocarbons saturated with fluorine, but the head provides a "handle" that can be used to absorb the PFAS into cell membranes where it can stay and cause all kinds of issues.
Going to ashes is the least of your worries. It was a cool project with cool leadership. It's been People Magazine for years. What has changed is that they're getting extortionate with the way they broker access to all the data we've donated.

It's not about what they owe you or me. It's about not paywalling the commons.

Whats more, as they're pursuing monetization, all your data is more for sale than its ever been. So it's not even Reddit you'd need to trust or have rapport with. They're using your misplaced trust and extending it to anyone who wants it.
Not quite the same, but based on the same fundamental risk mitigation strategy, yes.
Couple of comments:

> But the exact same argument can be made of every advance that has continously raised the level of abstraction of programming over the decades.

Languages and libraries are written (at least up until now) by humans, who _care_ about writing good working code. Generally, if you use a library, it will do it's job flawlessly, in the bounds of what it's expected to do. You rely on those people writing and maintaining it to perfect the job it was designed to do. Co-pilot is making suggestions, each a entirely independent "guess" at what you're trying to accomplish (apologies I don't know _that_ much about ML, but don't think this is far fetched). Meaning that each suggestion produces code in "untested waters" and wasn't code written specifically to do this job, used over and over by others...
It's not like it's part of a project and a bug report going to filed for a bug...

Edit: Moved the top portion below, as it was sort of just repeating what was said:

I think the comparison of sifting through copilot suggestions to sifting through errors in google is that, generally you are looking for the error that fixes your problem. Not 5 different (probably working) solutions, which each may contain different bugs. Meaning that I (or X developer of any level would) _need_ to continue searching google to find a working answer to my problem. But validating a co-pilot answer for any potential flaws is much more error prone.
This doesn't appear to have been the _government_ though, it was a 'minister' (and given how replete Johnson's government was with pointless junior ministers, that likely really just means a random MP). It's unlikely the actual apparatus of government was in any way involved in this; no civil servant was writing policy papers on poisoning Whiskas or anything.
u/skinnymuch had it right, sorry if I made it confusing. Basically I'm saying even if the company report no profit, then the executives are probably making bank (earning large personal "profits"!).

The purpose of the entire enterprise is killing people. I never sell anything, but that doesn't mean my job isn't making the company money, by way of making the stuff that the company sells.

That's not even necessarily a bad thing. WWII? Solid war, the Nazi's needed killing. And I like having people willing to do that on my behalf, so that I don't have to. But pretending the military is some lollipop guild that goes around spreading happiness and cheer is extremely disingenuous.
More descriptively, there was a cascade of revolutions and coups across Europe and Asia in the wake of WWI: Russia (1917), Germany (1918), Turkey (1919), Hungary (1918, 1919), Afghanistan (1919, independence), Egypt (1919, independence 1922), Morocco (1920, French conquest resumed), Mongolia (1921, independence), Italy (1922), Iran (1921, 1925), Portugal (1926), Poland (1926), Lithuania (1926), Arabia (1925, Saudi conquest), China (1928, KMT-CPC split), Iraq (1932, independence), Thailand (1932), Germany (1933, Nazis) Latvia (1934), Austria (1934), Estonia (1934, reversed 1938), Spain (1936), Romania (1938), probably some others I left out.

> Run studies as the use of the chemicals scales up and start raising warnings early so the company has time to collect more information and adapt formulas or applications

Part of the issue, and why this is 'existential', is that 3M appears to have known about the issues and deliberately hid the studies from the government or downplayed them. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Per-_and_polyfluoroalkyl_subst... citing https://theintercept.com/2018/07/31/3m-pfas-minnesota-pfoa-p... where you can read:

] A lawsuit filed by Minnesota against 3M, the company that first developed and sold PFOS and PFOA, the two best-known PFAS compounds, has revealed that the company knew that these chemicals were accumulating in people’s blood for more than 40 years. 3M researchers documented the chemicals in fish, just as the Michigan scientist did, but they did so back in the 1970s. That same decade, 3M scientists realized that the compounds they produced were toxic. The company even had evidence back then of the compounds’ effects on the immune system, studies of which are just now driving the lower levels put forward by the ATSDR, as well as several states and the European Union.

For a large company like 3M, the goal isn't to figure out who really needs the new chemical, it's to figure out how to profit the most from that chemical. And who will fund all the testing required? I can just hear the cry of "too much government paperwork" and "bureaucratic obstacles in the way of the innovation and the free market."
How about a per-user API key that users can copy/paste into a third-party app (or use an OAuth solution) which requires a $2-5/month subscription fee (cough *reddit premium* cough) to make more money than they would from showing these users advertisements?

This could also be used as a NSFW flag.

Enough people use 3rd party apps that this would also cover the high fees that they wish you could charge to LLMs. Which, due to LinkedIn vs. HiQ -- they're just going to scrape publicly anyways. I build anti-captcha systems for bot scraping, it's trivially easy to bypass bot protection...there's no way around this without making logging in and agreeing to ToS necessary just to view comments.

Hell they could even still include advertisements that come through the API as native posts and would not only be difficult to filter, but also be against API ToS to filter out. Yeah they wouldn't be as precisely-targeted but I mean, if someone is on a niche subreddit, how much more targeting do you need when you're already getting subscription fees from the same user you'd be showing additional ads to.

Point is, they can still be extremely greedy while not kneecapping 3rd party clients that don't suck like their app does.
I think this is a cheeky comment but I agree that it is very addicting. The karma system gets you hooked from early on and then 10 years go by and it becomes a part of your daily routine. An alternative without incentives to gain fake internet points might fare better.

I've personally quit Reddit as of this debacle because it made me realise how much I used it everyday and this was a good enough excuse to look elsewhere.
This is interesting. How long untill someone gets sick because he/she was following what chatGPT told him/her to do? Medical advice? Political misinformation?

How things will unfold this decade? Banning chatgpt from certain topics (medicine, law, etc...)? This decade will be really interesting indeed.
I agree. But what does that have to do with an article that presents unjustified assertions? The issue is that if you call something pathogenic, and make the case that people were harmed, then the article should support that which it doesn’t. Hence it’s click bait.

Let’s say I want people to take the Covid vaccine. Should I write articles with appeals to emotion, quotes from people writing books, and circumstantial evidence?

Some of it is interesting insight into the CCC's propaganda techniques. This one caught my eye: The US has the best human rights record in the world! After this followed some of US's well known civil rights abuses and atrocities.

This seems like an obvious ploy to draw attention from China's ongoing and historical civil rights atrocities and abuses. Calling out another country is one way to signal the party has no interest in exiting the leaderboard of bulk mistreatment of human beings.

And to clarify, China's atrocities don't erase US atrocities. Or UK atrocities, French, Dutch or any of the historical (or current) mistreatment committed by other first world countries. Each needs it's own accountability.

In the past 30+ years the US wars (minus Afghanistan) have probably been reactive responses to the OPEC oil shock of the 70s and a bit of the US Embassy hostage situation in Iran.

I use symlinks from configuration.nix and hardware -configuration.nix and point to specific instances for specific systems.
Ah, good point.

In my case, after benchmarking inside my actual app on real data, all three perform equally well (including the String.split version). Dropping the Regex made the difference between this being the heavy part of the process to it being a rounding error, and there isn't much additional value to be gained. With that in mind, I'd rather go for legibility over speed.

I'm going to go with the for loop, though, because the extra memory usage could come back to bite me later.
That's like whole week of commenting!
I credit my grandma's encyclopedia Britannica from the 70s with sparking my interest in engineering. In particular, there were these very detailed diagrams of every stage of the moon landing as well as diagrams of rockets from the Mercury to the Saturn V. It was fairly magical in a time before Wikipedia.

I think the fact that it was higher-level and structured benefited me. Nowadays it's much easier to dive deep into something which is kind of beautiful. If you want to see the detailed schematics for the Saturn V, it's a click away. If you want to sit down and program on a simulated guidance computer, you can (MoonJS).

I do wonder if my younger self would be able to "go broad" when presented with information this easy to attain. I notice my nephews have a tendency to "go deep" and at age 8 they're diving into every nuanced detail of something like the Titanic and then re-creating it in Minecraft. I envy that access to information at a young age but I wonder if it prevents them from going broad when they're fixated on a particular topic for a year.

Overall, I think I'd still prefer Wikipedia if I was born today.
With some kind of API to retrieve the colors the site would be really useful.
I totally agree if the toxicity is known. But the fact that these chemicals aren't banned completely, must mean that this isn't yet widely excepted?

Toxicity is a wide spectrum so the truth could be somewhere in between. Maybe teflon coated products don't have enough to be toxic, but dumping the chemicals wholesale into the water supply is enough to be toxic. And 3M could have concealed this high-dosage toxicity from regulators. (I'm trying to reconcile "3M scientists have know toxicity to humans" and the fact that these chemicals aren't banned)

I remember one colleague concerned with casting a Java 64-bit millisecond timestamp to double seconds when crossing languages (over to a somewhat TypeScript-like financial modeling DSL developed in the mid-late 1990s, where it's a bit clunky to deal with numbers in any format other than doubles).

I added a comment apologizing to software archaeologists on 12 October 287,396 C.E., when the precision of double timestamps (with 1970-01-01T00:00:00 UTC epoch) drops to 2 milliseconds, and the reviewer was fine after that.

I'm sympathetic to the plight of long-standing restaurant owners, who signed up for a different role in a different environment and didn't get a say in how the ecosystem evolved. But "parasitic" doesn't seem like a reasonable analysis. Food delivery apps offer a wide selection of choices that consumers find valuable. Valuable enough that, as the article describes, they're often willing to pay more than they would if they had ordered directly. Why is it parasitic for delivery apps to satisfy this demand at prevailing market prices?

An argument that this is socially bad would be another thing. I could imagine a convincing article describing how restaurants are in a more precarious state than they used to be, and this has non-obvious second order effects on the quality of food or the general quality of life in a city. I don't understand the idea that there's a general moral obligation for delivery apps to charge their business partners less money.
Web advertising with a detailed sign up page is the best way to do that? Seems like a bunch of video ads would be more effective for that.
Actually, the problem is, we allow new chemicals to be introduced with minimal if any testing. Imagine if medical chemicals (i.e., drugs) were allowed the same Wild West approach?

In short, industrials chemicals are innocent until proven guilty. That's great for the justice system. It's a complete clusterfuck for Mother Nature and all her creatures, including humans.
> “We’ll continue to be profit-driven until profits arrive,” Huffman wrote. “Unlike some of the [third-party] apps, we are not profitable.”

I don't think Reddit can be profitable. What business model is there that can work? Almost anything that generates revenue harms the user experience. Users will only tolerate so much. If they try to extract value with ads or paywalls, they lose the users.

If they please the users, how can they make money from that? The amount users are willing to pay is not enough.

I think the only way for it to carry on is without capitalism. They need to operate more like a Wikipedia or an archive.org. Put the profit motive aside and exist for and by the users.
Yes, to both points.

When I'm starting a business, I view it as an exercise in delayed gratification. I'm not expecting to make any money in the early stages. Instead, I'm expecting to make up for it in what I make in the later stages. It's an investment in that sense.

Seeing growth, and seeing the company (not necessarily me personally) developing an income are important things through the whole deal, from the beginning through maturity.

“Humans are the bad guys” does not imply that all humans are bad. Just that overall they are really not good. So pointing out one archetypal white knight type is not a refutation of the point.
