> Recent LLMs are fine in terms of smaller things like cron

This is obviously false given the contents of this thread.

Indeed, SO (well, SU) got this right: https://superuser.com/questions/428807/run-a-cron-job-on-the...

And crontab(5) explicitly calls out why this is impossible:

That graph really puts it all into perspective too.
This is not a joke for me. The same impulse that says I don't want to maintain a lawn or bed frame makes me count the benefit of a friend against the cost of committing time every few weeks, time I could be using for whatever I want. Some of us feel really burdened by commitments. We feel about each outlay the way a normal person only feels when they get right to their limit and have to cut back.
Sources on these? Society has been far better than 100 years ago. And broken families? Or people marrying early due to societal pressure and not being able to divorce back then (whether legally or societally), who are now finally able to do so. The divorce rate is actually going down simply because people are marrying when they want to, not when society pressures them to.
Best way the average person without access to very fancy lab equipment can navigate this is to source from a company that has built their brand on testing and quality. A brand like Thorne or Jarrow has a lot of motivation to test everything and make sure nothing untoward makes it out, since that reputation is the only thing that lets them charge a premium vs the commodity brands.
I haven't read it in years, but I think 35 was part of a bigger argument that past a certain point everything in modern life is either impossible or trivially easy to achieve, so people seek outlets in hobbies, etc. Not universally true, as anyone who's ever job hunted or quit smoking knows, but not just thoughtless rambling.

Indeed. It is a very useful lack of focus that maintains the status quo.
Take anything from wccf with a grain of salt.

And yeah, as others point out, this is Apples to oranges. x86 desktops are great at some things, M2 Ultras are great at others, and the overlap that really matters is pretty small... Like, you have to be crazy to buy an M SoC for gaming, or buy a Nvidia GPU for workloads that won't fit in VRAM.

"Technology bad."

It's really that. He falls for the same trap many modern critics of progress do: the nostalgia for a world that never existed, when men lived meaningful lives in peaceful harmony with nature... juxtaposed with all the purported moral, societal, and environmental decay of today.

Many people find it alluring today, but the themes are evergreen. They crop up in ancient Greece, in the Middle Ages, and throughout history.

Misplaced nostalgia aside, another problem with most such ideologies is that the prescription for returning to that utopian bygone era inevitably involves force: the premise is that our minds are too corrupted to understand what's right. Whether that's blowing things up or taking away your rights is just an implementation detail.
For the most part the underlying observations are hard to disagree, even if you disagree with the conclusions.

14: - Yep this is quite off. I disagree.

>> Utility isn’t linear in dollars.

> How do you know?

Empirical evidence:

> Technically, the researchers found that life satisfaction rises with the log of income[1] (i.e. multiples of income), not linear changes in income. The reason why log income is more relevant here is because someone with $10,000 might be much happier than someone with $0. However, someone with $10,010,000 is probably no happier than someone with $10,000,000. In other words, $10,000 means a lot to someone with nothing, but nothing to someone with a lot. I’ve written on how this idea applies to wealth[2] in the past and I plan on expanding on it in the future.

[…]

> In 2021, a study by Matthew Killingsworth[3] titled “Experienced well-being rises with income, even above $75,000 per year” shook the foundations of happiness research by contradicting the findings from Kahneman and Deaton’s famed 2010 paper. In particular, Killingsworth’s study found that both life satisfaction and emotional well-being continued to increase with income (i.e. the log of income), even beyond the $75,000 threshold reported by Kahneman and Deaton.

It also helps that TfL has a track record of delivering many miles of projects and a future expansion plan.

Games can and do already do this, dynamic sequencing of music from a pool of stems has been common practice for a while. Maybe this could let you do it cheaper, and AI could go more granular by creating new stems on the fly, but the onus is still on the AI developers to show something which hits as hard as someone like Mick Gordons dynamic compositions.

GDPR has a severely muted effect because Americans are still doing the same things they were before. It'll be even more ineffectual for AI. Nearly all AI research you hear about is being done in the United States. European regulations will only stop Europeans from using it, but you won't be able to escape it anyway because of how much American culture is continuously imported into Europe. Meanwhile, the reverse is almost completely not true; very little European culture makes it into American culture. This will just kneecap European creators and companies. I wish Europe the best of luck with this.

The quality of information on reddit or facebook is so inferior though. It's really disappointing. I think it's a combination of youtube, reddit, facebook and instagram. That interests are spread out and each of those is individually vulnerable to spam for purposes that have nothing to do with the actual topic.

I'm in a carseat facebook group, and people constantly post engagement spam, I'm really not sure to what end, but I assume it somehow makes other facebook posts visible. Then there's the run of the mill scams that hit all kinds of networks.

The problem he realized was that there's no political solution. Bombing people is obviously wrong but if you're convinced that humanity is heading down a destructive path then doing whatever you can to stop it makes sense, where the damage/suffering of the bombings would be comparatively (way) less than letting said future play out.

Yeah, I believe in climate change but I think that short-term climate doomerism is a pretty clear stalking horse for the sort of anti-capitalist/anti-industrial sliver that you mention. I guess if I were being charitable I'd say that I could be reversing the causality here and that climate change doomerism was simply causing anti-capitalist beliefs rather than the other way around, but I would bet that this isn't the case, and the reflexive attacks on "easy" solutions to climate change is reflective of this.

I’m beginning to wonder whether a language that doesn’t have indexes at all would be viable.

Swift abandoned C-style for loops (https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/main/proposals...)

It still has enumerated (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swift/sequence/enu...()), though.

That’s a special case of zip, though, and programs could use

zip(items, 0...Int.max)

or

zip(items, 1...Int.max)

according to their preference.

Also, slices could be created using

items.subrange( skip: 3, take: 5)

instead of

items.subrange( startIndex: 3, numItems: 5)

Implementation-wise, those are identical, but conceptually, the first doesn’t use indexes

> I'm confused why you don't believe me that internet penetration in the salt lake valley was very limited in 1994

I do believe you. Really have no dispute with any details you’re putting down.

I suppose the distinction I’m making is about the cohort of early adopters that had special (usually U access) from those using commercial ISPs or BBSes. That earliest cohort no matter how small it was a good bit earlier than 1994 and eternal September. I’ll grant my wording inadvertently exaggerating the penetration of availability in 1994, just saying the first households were probably getting dialup some years prior.

For me an EE prof managed get me a shell account in 1990 while in middle school. Even in rust belt US many friends just used AOL into 1994 and uptake of dialup ISPs was still slow, but that 1994 cohort was distinct.
I pretty much entirely agree with you. Below is a copy/paste of what I said when I saw this article elsewhere. What language is your LSP for?

> I written a LSP for my prototype compiler. I don't like any of the options you listed. My LSP didn't do any typechecking, it didn't build an AST, it didn't need immutable data structures etc.

> Typically when a person is typing into the editor the code is in a broken state (incomplete variable name, missing semi colon, maybe an open but no close parenthesis etc). What I did was look around what part is being edited and using the previous 'build' (when a user saves or ask the compiler to build), I would look up vars and type names. There's no need to rebuild everything on every keystroke. Maybe you can do it on a newline if you really wanted to but midsentence sounds like a bad place to try and you're not really gaining anything from compiling/parsing a single line change
I mean this is shockingly good. The longer “lofi” example at the bottom sounds like it could have been a Boards of Canada demo.

How can you ever really be sure that there is no way to change the code running on the hardware, either unintentionally via some exploit, or intentionally via a deliberate backdoor or a debugging interface enabled in production?

As a practical example, I have never heard anyone considering the freedomness of firmware in eMMC flash memory chips. But the talk "eMMC hacking, or: how I fixed long-dead Galaxy S3 phones" from CCC reveals that actually, Samsung eMMC chips have an undocumented debug interface to read/write the RAM of the firmware running on the ARM core inside the eMMC chip.
Nah, and I'm no communist either. I'm the kind of wishy washy leftist that they hate.

Authoritarianism does not know a political stripe. Before 1917, the government of Russia was a self-identified autocracy with a god-given right to make Russians live how Russians have mostly always lived.

The worker's movement that took that down instituted a thing they called communism, but which was really just the old system with different uniforms and modernist art. Not that efforts were not made, and not that the old guard in the rest of Europe didn't take steps, but it was mostly that the revolutionaries didn't really know how to operate a ship of state, so they fell back on old habits and kept the branding.

It ended up as a collectivist nightmare, and it still had a privileged class at the top, but there was no ideological conviction that capital was a positive force which could do no wrong, so no, they did not have a capitalist government, and pejoritavely calling it communist is fair IMO, I think communism is a thing that could be done but which won't, in a just way, in the lifetime of anyone alive now. It can be done badly and people keep trying.

I'm a 30s-style socialist, myself. I think the New Deal was doing well and Americans could have had a nice country all this time, but I dunno, everyone wants to roll those dice and be one of the upper class instead of demanding justice now.

As for misinformation, everyone has a different definition of that word based on what they personally believe to be true or false. That's not a meaningful basis for moderation. It's for the community to hash out what's true and what's false, not moderators to impose their views (or your views, or any other user's views) on everyone else.

Thing is, most testing frameworks/libraries in JS gives you a lot of freedom to structure the overall testing architecture however you want, without being much picky about it. That means teams writing the tests have to carefully consider their testing architecture, treating it like production code. But most people don't consider testing code "production" code, they treat it like something they should be able to write once and then kind of forget about it.

So zero regard for architecture will lead to "everything is just fanned out everywhere" and "lack of structure", no matter what language you're using, not just JS. What you're talking about tells us more about your team's engineering practices than how messy the JS testing ecosystem is.
