> Not everything needs to be a damn unicorn

Sure, but companies like Stack Overflow is set up in a way where they have to at least aim to be Unicorns, as people have invested tons of money in it with the expectation (hope) that it'll pay back at least 10x/100x, otherwise they probably wouldn't invest in it in the first place.

Contrast that to Wikipedia/Wikimedia which is a foundation funded by donations rather than "investments", and the difference between the two almost couldn't be larger, just because of that.

Google's browser security plan slammed as dangerous, terrible, DRM for websites
It’s not JavaScript that killed the testing trend in my experience. It was direct and conscious push by management that simply doesn’t value any part of that coupled with very competitive hiring market around 2014-2021.

Management, increasingly, only cares about time to market. At least within my area of the industry. Planning usually goes something like “how long you think this will take?” I say let’s say 3 months. “Why?”, I say well to do it right I’d like to change X first. Then implement a common Y layer. Verify and test them. Then do Z on top. “Let’s cut X. No need to invest in Y for now. We just want Z. Let’s budget testing/etc after. Can we do it in 1 month now?”

Why waste time investing in CI, TDD, BDD, deterministic builds, etc when you know your management doesn’t value it, and you’ll be out of this role in 2 years? 2-3 years old code is considered legacy now.

> I think Haskell will be one of the "good ones" amongst target languages, eventually

Another advantage of Haskell is that its side-effect-free nature makes it harder for a rogue AI to put in malicious code, thus helping to solve the alignment problem.

It may be that languages and OSes will be specifically designed to put everything in a sandbox (or multiple layers of sandboxing), which will also be helpful when humans write code.

> while less-used languages tend to produce worse results

I figured that might be the case.

> Haskell may or may not need a manually-tuned LLM to generate solid results.

One possibility would be to write some Haskell programs, that illustrate paradigms in the language and train the LLM on them. Then get the LLM to solve similar problems, and automatically test how good its solutions are on grounds of solving the problem (passing test cases), performance (time and space used) and how easy it is for humans to understand the programs.

Then use those solution to train the LLM to be better at Haskell, and give it another set of slightly harder problems to solve.

In this way it would learn programming pretty much as humans do, by solving incrementally harder problems.
SvelteKit can also run without JavaScript enabled if you use SSR and have no dynamic content...not sure what advantage this confers
> needs to serialize a Java object and isn’t going to pay or put up with any LLM-generated nonsense.

I use GPT to implement classes with many interfaces. Even though I often have to make corrections, it's still way faster than looking up the documentation for each of these interfaces. Saves a lot of time in these cases, all the more so I don't have to ponder on which interface in the class hierarchy tree I need to implement.

>We have all the physics solved for bikes, it's a complicated system but so is everything in motion. Hence we assume a spherical cow for the sake of the problem.

This depends upon the question one is trying to answer. If one is trying to create a bicycle that can self balance, that involves considering different factors compared to trying to determine why certain injuries result in a person losing the ability to balance on a bicycle while others do not. Is the focus the bicycle or the human?

My EV6 reports a range that it also a loose estimate, but it seems based on recent driving behavior (ie, I was driving free and loose recently, so I may end up getting way more miles than it says, and vice versa)
Note that in airplanes (unlike cars) you normally cannot just get in a new one and fly. You first get training on that particular plane. If everything goes perfect any pilot can get in any plane and fly it, but if any little thing goes wrong they better know how the plane flys very well so they can get it stable enough to run the checklist.

I could believe the union force, but Waymo have a controlled environment in which to carry on testing, namely depots. Alot have their own purpose built shunter's a specially adapted vehicle to pick up trailers and put them on the loading bays, and to take them off. Why do these exist? A lot of truck drivers cant reverse onto a bay to save their life!

The depot will already have copious amounts of cctv in which to enhance the AI driving systems, whilst also being able to keep track of all trailers coming into the yard and leaving via a gatehouse.

So just like warehouses have become automated, to me, it seems like the next step in automation is to handle the trailer movements in the depot. They will still need a human, to wind up or down the wheels, and plug the air in, when moving a trailer on or off the bay, but the warehouse can get busy at peak time, and the demand for a shunter to move trailers off the bay so the warehouse doesnt slow down is a real need.

I know that Debian has Snapshot for older packages but you are still at the will of other people and people are fickle, and Nix should allow you to use specific versions to build your base images from to pin to.

However, much in the same way that if you actually take your build system seriously you'll store your application dependencies in a local proxy, you can run a mirror or proxy to hold these historical packages too.

Take a look at something like apt cacher, however it is a proxy cache so you can reproduce builds using the exact same package versions but if upstream delete old packages, and you want to roll back to one you haven't previously downloaded, then you are out of luck.

> Docker for Mac uses QEMU for `--platform`

Only on older setups and on the default config. Updated MacOS (13+) and updated docker provides an option to use Rosetta and the new virtualization system. That, I believe, replaces QEMU for x86 emulation with the Apple emulator.

I've had substantial success with that method; not only does it seem a bit faster, but some containerized apps that very frequently failed to start (e.g. Apache Pulsar) work consistently in that mode. I suspect this difference in experience speaks to bugs in QEMU that trigger in the presence of certain application behavior (in Pulsar's case, something weird happening with the JVM on startup).

QEMU's still an incredible feat of engineering and something I frequently use on Linux, though. It just seems that the Apple emulation on Macs is better (which makes sense, given that it's built by the people who made the semi-proprietary silicon it's emulating from).

I think it would be more similar to prohibition than pineapple pizza, at least to people who care about it.

Presumably less alcohol/less gay marriage is expected to help save people from the temptation toward grievous sins (at least in Christian settings), and help support the traditional family unit in its duties to raise the next generation (less alcohol = less domestic abuse and financial stupidity / less homosexuality = more straight relationships, more children, and partnerships more likely to follow a traditional division of labor & have a woman to raise the children).

I'm in favor of equal rights to marriage, I just think your comment would badly fail the Ideological Turing Test.

It's really hard for me to not make some incredibly dismissive "okay, boomer" comment here, but you are not giving me much to work with and this really reads as obstinate resistance to learning new things. Are containers different? Without a doubt. The benefits are, however, impossible to ignore.

The amount of work you are complaining about is, objectively, trivial. It's no harder than learning how to deploy on another distro or operating system, except in this case, your new knowledge is OS-agnostic.
Yes, I love the set design here.
Since the earth, and the whole solar system, along with the galaxy are moving through space, I can imagine some clever scientist discovering time travel, firing up they time machine, only to then find themselves in vacuum of space in a place the earth had long passed by already.

Yes. Think this is the frustrating part. MS kind of broadcast like it is equal, full language. But .NET doesn't support everything.

Given the myriad other variables that go into a successful software business, the choice of stack and its various modes of expressing whatever transformation on whatever data it is you are mangling is so exceedingly minor a consideration that I'm close to experiencing it as professional negligence to even fuss over it to the degree it is being fussed over by many people.

I'm not dissing Lisp by any means by the way.
> I thought it ironic recalling how many people had sold containers as lighter weight VMs that remove “works on my machine” hassles.

Containers aren't VMs, they're Linux namespaces. If you want to run a container you need Linux. If you want to run Linux on MacOS you need virtualization. There's no "lightweight" VM about it - it's still a VM.
https://devenv.sh/ is my answer.

Nix plus good UX that can even build vscode compatible devcontainers that mirror the nix shell.
I had an uber driver that said his 3 had less than half the range when temperatures got over 100F (38C). I imagine that is just the increased load from the cooling system. My Y sounds like a combustion car the ac runs so loud the past couple months. I leave the display on battery percentage because the range counts down very quickly in this heat. But it doesn't when it is nice out. Cold decreases the range because the battery heater has to work hard.

My point is that it isn't as simple as an average due to the massive temperature sensitivity. It applies to ICE cars too, but it certainly isn't as noticeable as the engine allows a wider range of temperatures. Ironically the EV is proposed as something to battle climate change, but it is much more susceptible to it's effects.
If number end in 2 or 5, is divisible by 2 or 5. So number ending in 2 or 5 cannot be prime. Math no hard to understand!

Says who?
How does the Tesla advertised range compare to the advertised range of other EV makers: less accurate, or similarly inaccurate?

edit: "advertised" I mean the range shown on the dash. I.e. the range communicated by the car itself, as relevant to this article.
What the original commenter dislikes is that a bunch of "brilliant" mathmaticians can't instantly recognize that any number ending with 2 or 5(except 2 and 5) can't be a prime.

I.e

999999999999995%5=0
999999999999992%2=0

Thus they are not prime numbers.

[l] Letter to the Editor on the Superconductor Preprint Paper :

I work in the field and we discussed the preprint a bit in the research group this morning. In short, we don't believe a word of it:

Figures 1(a) and (c) are implausible. Usually something like this looks like this . Note the gradual increase at low currents, this effect is to be expected especially with magnetic fields.

Fig. 1(d) cannot be correct either. At Tc ~ 400K the Meissner effect would displace a much stronger field than 10 Oe = 1 mT. This means that the distinction between FC (field cooled) and ZFC (zero-field cooled) shouldn't be that pronounced. It should look more like this .

What the authors might mean is that they are outside the Meissner range, which can occur at higher magnetic fields (keyword: Type II superconductors). It looks like this .

In this case, however, the temperature dependency does not agree at all with the critical currents of Figs. 1(a) and (c).

Also, that ALL the values in Fig. 1(d) are negative is extremely unusual, but that could perhaps be argued with.

The data set in Fig. 4(b) is also a treat. It is VERY unusual when the heat capacity decreases again at high temperatures. This can happen at low temperatures, but not at high temperatures.

I am very familiar with the described experimental setup / the cryostat. There is no good reason why the authors did not measure at higher temperatures to show that the behavior is markedly different above Tc ~ 400K. For example, a temperature dependency of the resistance would have been absolutely necessary.

In general, the paper is very poorly written. The data is under-discussed, the explanations are sparse, and the work cited is, shall we say, sparse. That doesn't exactly inspire confidence in what the authors measured and claim to have seen.

My personal assumption is that the authors measured an insulator, so no current flowed and therefore no voltage occurred (4-point measurement). Then it looks like a superconductor. But if you then turn up the current (i.e. the applied voltage), breakdowns may occur and a current begins to flow. That would explain the sharp increase.

You wouldn't believe how happy it is for me to always have an expert in the readership who can explain things to me on any complicated subject. In this case, greetings and thanks to the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research.

well A pity. But unfortunately that's often the case. If it looks too good to be true, it probably isn't.

Yet many people set it to autohide. At that point the difference between pressing super, a hot corner or autohide is quite minor.

> one reason why the Minimize button

One feature I like in gnome is the title bar clicks. Double-click or middle-click anywhere on the title bar feels much nicer than hitting the specific tiny maximize/minimize buttons. Unfortunately, as far as I remember that is also off by default (though easily turned on in tweaks). However, I would be perfectly on board, if gnome had that as the default instead of minimize buttons.

Rsync.net can do similar, because of their snapshot system. By default there's no way to delete a snapshot except through the schedule set up (you can write to them and ask if it's necessary for some reason). It doesn't use asymmetric crypto to do this but it's neither necessary not sufficient for the purpose of preventing accidental or malicious deletion of backups

BS? I thought at least one Federal agency suggested that compliance is in fact a Federal crime.
Yes, and whose advertisements do you think show up in every single one of those magazines? Which implementations get mentioned by every single C++ book? Which organization sponsored every single C++ conference? Don’t forget that they had stiff competition from the advertising budgets of other large companies, such as Oracle and IBM.

Also, don’t forget that Lisp machines were once the most coveted development machines on the market. But Symbolics had to develop not only the language and IDE, but also the OS, the hardware, the microcode, and everything else all at once. It’s pretty telling that they soon began running Unix (on a separate processor) and then their next product was an add–in card for an Apple Macintosh II containing a Lisp processor ASIC. By then the C++ hype train was gathering steam and the AI winter had begun. Symbolics didn’t survive, and their direct competitor LMI had even less chance. So it’s not that Lisp offers no advantages, it’s just that market conditions killed off the companies that were offering it. Note that these market conditions were created by advertising and shifting public perception.

I thus return to my thesis, which is that the market success of a language has little, if anything, to do with the advantages of the language. Instead marketing and advertising rule the day.
Yes, that is my point. That hurts a lot and is enough to derail Europe pretty severely.
