I'm not sure if this is true. They announced the deal in Sept 2022, when the Nasdaq
had already dropped significantly. The Nasdaq is higher today than in Sept 2022. This means Adobe might actually have to pay a little bit more for Figma if they acquired them now.

It was true for Elon trying to back out of Twitter's acquisition because tech valuations dropped significantly during the closing period. But this is Adobe and they didn't buy Figma for the memes nor did they roll out of bed thinking they should buy Figma that day like Elon probably did.

I think Adobe bought Figma thinking that they might have acquired Instagram. Today, Meta would be in a lot of trouble if they didn't own Instagram. Figma could have developed a suite of tools via their cloud-native stack and competed with Adobe across all of their products eventually. Basically, I think Adobe bought out their long-term competitive threat.

Quite frankly, at 9% of Adobe's total market cap, it's not that bad of a deal.
The feeling of community. If you _feel_ like you are with a community then you are more likely to stick with it. Presumably that's why there is a chat.
This is a serious generalization in all three categories.

Executives: I am a tech executive and work with other executives. Lots of them are far from impressed by Twitter and what has been done. If the "overwhelmed lawyer stuff" as you call it turns into an actual fraud settlement (ie if the lawyers for the employees on the landlords win) I think you'll struggle to find executives with much good to say about it.

Normies: My wife and all her friends are normies. Small sample, but a typical talking point is how twitter has become a bit worse since the takeover but that most of the stuff they follow hasn't changed that much.

Tech people: There seems a sharp division (like with Tesla) between people who admire Elon and people who don't.

Noone seems to have changed their minds much over this issue other than some of the people who were publicly in favour of the takeover (eg Jack Dorsey) beforehand are now publicly against it. I can't think of an example of someone who's flipped the other way but I'm sure they exist.
I’m sorry, I should be more clear by what I mean by example. Rather than hypothetical possible categories of tasks, can you give a particular task in which ChatGPT does better than googling information and thinking about the information that’s displayed to you?

A task in this case could be finding out where a particular Vermeer is hung, or which viscosity of oil to put into your car’s engine — a specific concrete task in which ChatGPT provides you with knowledge better than a web search does.

I won’t argue that ChatGPT is better at writing lists than Google is. Google isn’t a website that writes lists so that comparison would be pointless.
This is why public libraries, online libraries / archives, a ban on book bans (???), open access to knowledge, and piracy are so important. They're anti-facist institutions, and any attempt at banning books should be scorned.

Yeah, Mein Kampf is an uncomfortable read now and I understand why it's banned in some countries; notably, it's not banned in Germany, except when traded for the sake of spreading hate. But the rights to the books was passed on to the state of Bavaria, who simply decided not to reprint it. It entered public domain in 2016. But anyway, rabbithole aside, it's not banned and I hope it never will, because it's important to acknowledge and learn from these things. Can't make an informed decision if you can't get informed.

No disrespect to the dude that I learned Haskell from, but a) he doesn’t achieve his original goal and b) the goal is much less practically useful than he implies.

In practice an awful lot of the functions you want to memoize a) involve continuations and b) want some way of evicting things from the cache.

Haskell has no end of cute tricks for doing deterministic functions, it’s just that deterministic functions are programming’s easy mode.

When I started doing guided meditation (via Headspace) the person properly explained beforehand that this is normal at the beginning: we can be too self conscious (and self judgemental), and learning to follow the prompt without thinking too much about doing it "right" is part of the process.

I seem to recall it was explained like: "when you're watching a movie, typically you don't think about your self watching a movie, you just... watch the movie"
> apple’s models had to be « dumb data containers ».

They don't "have" to be, but that's very much the result of what Apple has been advocating, what the community tells itself and what happens.

> Actually, having dumb models is the surest way to completely screw up your controllers design, since you’re now left with no other places to write your business logic in.

Exactly. And the coordination logic. Alas, that is exactly what happens, and I've been in enough of these codebases.

It's actually a bit more complex than that, as what people seem to aspire to is write self-contained widgets for their functionality, essentially slicing the application vertically most of the time. And that appears to have a bunch of causes, for example the PM->Design->Engineering process chain that also appears to be standard (and broken).

> My take on the model layer is : write everything that’s not strictly specific to your UI there.

YES.

UNDERLINE.

BLINK.

Repeat 100 times. Say it loud. Sing it. Shout it.

The "Model" is an object that is the headless application. It implements and coordinates all the functionality. You put a thin GUI on top of that. Or a different GUI. Or an API. Or a WebUI. Or a CLI....
I have started learning and have done a very unpolished pong to learn. I did write a blog entry here: https://blog.rmrubert.eu/posts/2023-06-17-making-my-first-ga...

I do agree with this sentence on the article <<The meta stuff takes as much effort, if not more, than the core game. I mean the menus, instructions, release materials, API integrations for advertisements and high scoreboards, and so on.>> as the menu you can see in my game (which is very unpolished) took as much as the game itself.

Yes. 4K TV is enough for people with 20/20 vision. That is roughly ~80%. of population. And even with better vision most of the time they are only visible during static screen comparison. In motion as in video they are not as visible.

We really should have taken the middle ground between 8K and 4K and settle on 6K.
Instead we now have 4K that is good enough but not the best for most people.
What's with the leading underscore? That seems rather unprecedented. Is there some standard that BSD is setting for this?
EDIT: looks like I am a victim of the defederation that happened... I only see comments made on my instance, lemmy.world, because Beehaw defederated lemmy.worlld... it's possible to see there's many more comments by going to lemmy.one instead.

> The same way people manage to decide whether to buy buns at the bakery on the right rather than the one on the left or donate to the NGO1 rather than NGO2 doing exactly the same, you ought to manage to judge which instance is a better fit or if it even matters in your case.

Bakeries and NGOs aren't sticky. Your relationships with them is a series of one-time transactions, and at any time you can switch to the alternative at no cost.

Picking a Mastodon instance is more like picking a school or university - it's a choice of where to commit, made at a point when you're least equipped to make a good call, and increasingly hard to reverse the longer you go along with it.

You're implying something not grounded in established fact, and then questioning why the rest of society has responded as if it's not true.

The issue seems pretty apparent here, but it's not one anyone else can help you with.
That's a fascinating video, and it doesn't hurt that his voice is one you could listen to all day.
I differ with the author here, I prefer to log errors as soon as they come into "my" code (e.g. from external library or network call, etc.).

This is a good rule for any language, because you always ensure an error is logged once. In Go, you can add additional info from the caller to the Context to log higher level info, e.g. a trace span Id.

You are agreeing with OP. You could evaluate the quality of ChatGPT because you could write the code yourself.
Yes, I also got that first result that (from the snippet) seems to go straight to the command, but the funny thing is that the link doesn't work, at least from my end. And the next ones are all lists of commands that would take a nontrivial amount of time to skim, as I mentioned.
Which rules out the majority of people who learnt to code in the last 25 years (many unis have taught java since 2000ish)
Back when I first heard about gnu social (the predecessor to Mastodon), there were 2 apps for Android that worked with both Twitter and ActivityPub.

AndStatus and Twidere.

It was seamless, the only way you could tell something was federated was by looking at the domain name on the user handle, other than this there was little to no difference.
Saw this decentralized AI tool on lots of Hackthons.Kind of interesting to me,a pretty innovative idea that decentralized systems may allow everyone to experience AI.

It is much safer, it does not link to our personal info, and everyone can use it without a tech company to control the accessaility.
I think it's them being overly cautious; they have put all the books - or at least the excerpts they could find on the internet - into the language model, so I'm confident the full book is in there. Does that fall under fair use? That's yet to be tested in court, I think.

But if a prompt could have the model just spew out whole books, a few paragraphs at a time maybe due to ChatGPT's limitations, that would definitely not be fair use anymore, and they'd be targeted by big copyright's lawyer army.

I just asked chatgpt if it has books and if it can recite some to me; it can recite e.g. Shakespeare without issue, but it's very cagey with other works still under copyright.
Hi, are you talking about a problem like this one?

> It’s an analogy for how LLMs work. An LLM does not know anything, it just adds tokens probabilistically based on the previous tokens

This seem a deep statement that keeps getting repeated, but it doesn't mean anything. The probabilistic model that is used to decide the next token could be arbitrarily complex, including encoding knowledge (or just asking a panel of experts).

It seems pretty self evident that the model in fact encodes knowledge, just in a very lossy way and recall is also flawed.
I don't disagree with your analysis. However, I do wonder if Adobe purchased Figma because of the current revenue streams, or that they'd much rather either want to prevent having to face a new competitor, or alternatively, get all the proceeds of said competitor.

> To be absolutely clear, the expressions `seq f (putStrLn "hello")` and `seq (f undefined) (putStrLn "hello")` should both not evaluate anything and cause the string hello to be printed rather than raising an exception.

This does actually work here, because the array is created lazily.

> This often occurs in cases where the above hypothetical function `f` requires an intermediate value that's expensive to compute but only relies on the first of its two arguments. Then do you evaluate that expensive intermediate with a partial application of a single argument, or do you not? Neither is satisfactory and so this problem is best avoided.

Computing the intermediate value with a partial application does not actually take away laziness, it only adds sharing. (At least it can be done this way.)
> At least in the US, the predominant view is that homeless men on the streets is a good thing

I've been homeless a lot and literally never heard this view until now. Asserted and dismissed without evidence.

> we are a long way to having social discussion about helping men.

Are we? Which men? With which problems?

I hear this argument all the time from anti-feminists. MRM propagandists often make an argument like, "Almost all the domestic violence shelters are for women. You feminists only care about women." The response from feminists is generally, "Feel free to get to work." But of course, MRM people don't care about men's suffering under sexism, they care about bashing feminists, so they don't do any organizing. This dynamic would be funnier if it weren't so sad.

So what are you personally doing to address the suffering of men under sexism? I mean, aside from alienating your natural allies?

It's probably to avoid conflicting with potentially existing user-defined groups. The underscore in the C/UNIX world has an intrinsic meaning of "implementation reserved", so it's your fault if the new group conflicts with one you improperly created yourself.

If the goal is to talk about your interests with strangers (and not pull in your whole family and political and journalistic class), some minimal federation friction could be beneficial actually, as a soft filter. Maybe it's worth it to have some common pre-Eternal September spaces on the Internet, even it means not building unicorn empires.

The latter seems to be a mindset people aren't able to shake off for some reason, applicable to the given case or not. If a person can write and read two sorta coherent paragraphs of text for a internet forum, they are already on the level of being willing to learn and a little curious, above what the tech giants expect from their model user. There are enough of such people to have interesting and diverse discussions. Don't tell me Discord is easy to figure out. I'm not saying the devs should be working to make the experience easier, but it starts to be one of those topics where the discussion is meme-based.

You can tell search engine robots not to index your copies of different forums. I don't think they are viewable by default anyway? Avoiding small instances to avoid outages sounds like 4D strats to most users, who might prefer cosiness, personal connections and camaraderie, like on Minecraft servers, say.

>The community subreddits are different - they often have a much more defined culture and purpose. Those are the ones which, if the moderators give up, will die.

I am in some "community" subreddits and moderators are just there to enforce the rules that they made up and not everybody necessarily agree with. As an example, it's very common to have vague rules that silence some flavour of on-topic conversations... and then they are arbitrarily enforced, depending on whether the mod likes or dislikes where the conversation is going.

In my opinion, if mods from small subs were gone, that would be a huge positive. I'm glad that this abusive relationship of mods who think they own the entire community (including the users) and treat it as their fiefdom is coming to an end. Just the fact that they are shutting down entire communities shows the level of entitlement they have over the community they moderate. Doing a lot of unpaid labour doesn't entitle you to anything, but it does indeed show the kind of person that you are.

> On your last point, if you voted and in which elections is already public record. Government has a pretty good idea who you voted for and can and already does this to the extent they can get away with it.

And yet the government doesn't know for sure. There is plausible deniability, and always a bit of uncertainty.

> You could before 1890 in the US, and plenty of other countries, what’s changed?

No, you couldn't before 1890 in the US. It wasn't a democracy in the modern sense.

> About 25 percent of voters voted by mail in the 2020 election. Mandatory secrecy that couldn’t be enforced for a quarter of voters didn’t ruin our democracy.

Mail-in voting has multiple measures in place to ensure secrecy of vote. Yes, technically they could be worked around, but so could any other voting method - the important part is that the government would have to expend massive resources to do this on a broad scale, which would quickly become public.

> I’m not sure secrecy should be mandatory, maybe it should be optional.

No, you guys should stay a democracy.
