Productivity is the ratio of output to input.

Code is the output of a programmer. Time (or wages) is the primary economic input to software development.

Productivity is not a measure of whether something is worth doing. It says nothing about whether the code is valuable or worth writing. A factory has increased productivity if it has produced more widgets with the same inputs, even if nobody wants those widgets or those widgets pollute the environment.

Similarly, programmers do not choose what software to write. They are employed to write software someone else decides is valuable to the business. Their productivity is independent of whether the software has business value.

Consider a one line program. A programmer that produces that program in 5 minutes is more productive than one who produces it in 1 hour.

Stories with sizes are proxies for magnitude of code change or time. A larger project is larger because it takes more time or more code change, or both. Story size/points is an attempt to estimate this. So it is more accurate to measure the actual code change and time taken.

It’s true that the same program can be written with different amounts of code. But this is largely irrelevant at the organization level, where programmers are not writing multiple versions of same program in different languages and toolsets. A team is typically writing software within the context of a particular toolchain and runtime environment.

Ok I'll bite.

How do you expect to treat mental illness through shaming?
$140/rep is enormously expensive for just one small piece of the stack. Add in Gong, Salesforce, Apollo, LinkedIn Sales Navigstor and a dozen other tools and you end up with $1k / rep / mo. This just doesn’t seem sustainable to me. I see how individually they each make the case for paying for themselves, but to me most of them are not slam dunks from a value proposition. What seems to keep happening in my experience is that people get sold on it, some use it a bit, it ends up in the sales stack, and just gets hard to remove.
my arc was slackware -> gentoo -> arch. very similar vibes across them all I thought.
I think they take a different approach though, where women are guarded by the family from being in situations where males, who are known and accepted to be violently sexually aggressive, might harm them. Then women who end up in such situations anyway are considered fair game, more or less.

I imagine, though, that while the numbers for various rape types are probably relatively high compared to other countries, those crimes still affect a tiny minority of women and wouldn’t move the broader needle on HIV rates. I would guess that date rape is also extremely lower than in the west due to courtship practices being very different (which would work against high HIV rates).
> The USA and a few other cultures have unfortunately devalued shame

Shame is admittedly a very powerful tool for social conformity. During the few centuries that you seem to view as the good old days, it was used to great effect for blocking many different behaviors. Among those: not dressing in quite the right way; having dark skin; insufficient patriotism; insufficient aggression in men; the desire for autonomy in women; homosexuality, or for that matter basically any acknowledgement that humans are an innately sexual species.

And then society broke, gosh darn it!

The problem with bringing back those good old days of shame, but of course just in the way that's nice and beneficial, is that a huge number of people believe that all of the above listed shameful behaviors of yesteryear should still be shameful. Shame is the mechanism that various conservatives are using, at this very instant, in trying to brand all gay people as groomers, or all people who get abortions as murderers and/or worthless sluts.

So, in my humble opinion, it ain't happening; how are you going to get any kind of agreement about what behaviors are good to shame? Pandora's box has been opened for half of humanity, who all generally agree that non-harmful behaviors should not be shamed, while things like flagrant violations of election law or finance law should be; while the other half continues to vociferously insist that non-harmful social behaviors are the only real priority and the golden days would come back if only we could all hate the deviants again.
There’s vterm nowadays
Fact or fiction? Probably a mix of both.

The judicious release of apparent fictional information does provide cover for truthful leaks, and is a vital part of counterintelligence, somewhat paradoxically.

In the sense that correlation between truthful and fictional stories can discredit the truth by association with their correlated fictional co-releases. It can also disguise the truth by drowning it in an ocean of fictional mimicry.

In other words, people can say: "oh that's bullshit! that's based on the story that originally came from UFO magazine--there's no truth to that." Another way to say it is that you can train people to see truth as fiction, by using a fictional vehicle to reveal truth.

Perhaps the goal is to "release the pressure valve" of public demand, by letting a little creep out into awareness, but I think it's mostly to provide cover. A secret is still essentially protected if people don't believe it even when it's told them.

And you also preemptively dampen the effect (entropy) of any actual future leaks, without providing any official confirmation whatsoever, which is crucial to many people for taking it seriously.

Devilish psychological manipulation in the service of secrecy. Not ethical, but effective.

> OpenGL/WebGL dead and buried by Vulkan/WebGPU.

If only.

Vulkan requires everyone to be a driver writer before they can even think about drawing a triangle, while at the same time already beating OpenGL with spaghetti extensions at the rate it is getting new ones every month.

And it is only a GNU/Linux and Android thing anyway, not the main API on PlayStation, XBox, Apple, Windows and Switch.

WebGL took a decade to be fully adopted, WebGPU has at least another decade ahead of it until it becomes fully widespread, and even then it will be targeting 2015 hardware capabilities.

That's a reasonable timeline. PRCs have been developing pharma/bio talent since 2015s. It’s part of medicine&devices category for MIC2025. Focus was on devices, pharma/bio got extra resource/political attention in the last few years due to covid. Like most PRC ventures it's going to be rocky/messy until it's not. Broad point is bio is one somewhat neglected up until covid sector that PRC wants to become a global player with industrial policies that has worked well to very well in other MIC2025 categories..

What a pointless comment. If you are doing anything with threads it is far more likely you have a bug in the way you use mutexes than that there is a bug in this code.
I think you're taking their choice of a single word a bit too seriously, and dare I say, personally. I don't think they're claiming to be the first to have ever discovered this attack vector, nor are they trying to steal credit from you. And while "novel" might not be the best word choice, in common parlance it need not mean "unique," and can just as well mean "unusual." In fact the dictionary definition of "novel" literally includes "unusual" ("new or unusual in an interesting way").
The oldest living organisms contradict your conclusion. Eg greenland sharks, turtles and sponges.
No subject is being changed. The assertion introduced in the root comment is about the effectiveness of public shaming as a means to sustain social order. There are many good replies arguing against that notion.

It is also the peak of naïveté to assume any mechanism of social control will remain restricted to our pet favorite cause. Isn’t that what every discussion here about encryption backdooors ends up concluding?

Something made my father skeptical. His chief argument was that a power window could get cranked down, and then wouldn't go up again, and you'd have a security issue.

Lion batteries have no doubt done amazing things but aside from the connivance they absolutely suck for power tools. I’m not even that old and nearly all my lion power tools original batteries are dead. Knock off replacements are available but as batteries improved companies stopped selling branded batteries. It’s a constant exercise keeping everything even just usable much less usable for any lengths of time.

Meanwhile my 50+ year old inherited drills and saws work flawlessly.

None of this battery shit is sustainable in any sort of way when the batteries last 3-5 years. You can be sure you won’t be handing any of those tools down.

This.

Sometimes when people talk about using gender-neutral terms, I wonder how it would work in other languages.

As you said, for some languages there is a gender for inanimate objects.

In Arabic for example, apparently everything is either feminine or masculine. All countries are feminine, table is masculine, and chair is feminine [1], book is masculine, and car is feminine [2].

Other languages such as French, Russian, and Spanish also seems to assign genders to objects.

The Sanskrit language on the other hand seems designed with feminine, masculine, and neuter, but some objects have a non-neuter gender anyway.

Quoting from [3] (on Sanskrit):

> "Fruit" is neuter, but "tree" is masculine! "City" is neuter, but "village" is masculine! "Army" and "knowledge" are feminine, but "action" is neuter! In truth, most nouns take a certain gender by default, and we cannot guess a noun's gender just by looking at a noun's meaning.

Go and Rust theoretically could be more performant but people who say they need performance from a platform almost never really need performance in that way. They almost always are doing something in a very unoptimized way.

Exactly what is it that your Flask or whatever endpoints are doing?

The front end actually does matter. For example, plenty of people are using Next.js with a lot of logic in the front end using things like Supabase etc.

I would also argue that the next level of rapid development doesn't really separate the front and back end in a normal way but rather has abstractions that encompass everything -- front end, back end, database, network, whatever. And then it's about tying together things referencing those definitions. So you might just define a structure and then say you want a form or database record for it and it's already done.

I think the biggest factor is usually not the actual platform but the challenge of getting really reusable abstractions that still perform. For example, making sure you use an efficient and expressive query language.

Sometimes the trade off between rapid development and performance is needing to dig into database details more such as creating an index.

In general it seems as though things like Rust, web assembly, and to a lesser extent Golang, are more popular these days.

But I think you should strongly consider what you are comfortable with. And don't try to select the most performant thing without defining the task specifically and profiling it.
Yeh, I think one of the first steps would be to write a tiny lisp or forth. Maybe something like tcl or perl/awk subset.

Probably the most bang-for-buck.

On the other hand, it is extremely difficult for an outside observer, looking at the results of the New Approach, to judge whether it is not scaling well because of a lack of funding or because it fundamentally does not scale well. It can also be challenging for the people involved to realize that their approach isn't working (cf. "sunk cost fallacy", "it is difficult to get a man to understand a point when his salary depends on him not understanding it", "confirmation bias"). Often, the approaches are not necessarily poorly funded but rather inefficiently managed - education and healthcare would be the prime examples in the US context. The US spends a roughly approximate amount of its public budget on healthcare as the UK does. At other times, advocates for an approach to solving a social issue are ideologically motivated more than results-oriented. A case in point is the difference between LA's approach to the homelessness crisis and NYC's take (https://public.substack.com/p/three-times-more-homeless-die-...)

It took that long to repeal because it was an amendment (and thus needed another amendment to repeal it).

I'm not sure if the academic consensus is that it was "mixed," most top search results seem to agree that it was kind of a failure[1][2], but to be fair I never studied it in depth and Google can be biased.

So (if I get it right) you are using the LLM to convert the human language question into (presumably) code that is basis for running "normal" searches and returning text.

Avoiding any fears of hallucinations.

But earlier you say "LLMs will get better at comprehension". So are you using an LLM to markup the original text in some way ?

No, there is an implementation but not a formal specification.

Albeit parts of the implementation are well defined enough that they are a good basis for a specification, many behaviour specifics are only existent in code.

A specification would need to be implementation independent.
