> It's also hard to understand why an AI smart enough to paperclip the world wouldn't also be smart enough to realize the futility in doing so.

Terminal goals can't be futile, since they do not serve to achieve other (instrumental) goals. Compare: Humans like to have protected sex, watch movies, eat ice cream, even though these activities might be called "futile" or "useless" (by someone who doesn't have those goals) as they don't serve any further purpose. But criticizing terminal goals for not being instrumentally useful is a category error. For a paperclipper, us having sex would seem just as futile as creating paperclips seems to us. Increased intelligence won't let you abandon any of your terminal goals, since they do not depend on your intelligence, unlike instrumental goals.

Forget the movies you lose, if your AppleID is disabled, you also lose:

1. All your emails if you use iCloud for your email, and thus potentially locking you out of any other sites that use email as a 2-factor-auth.

2. All your backups on iCloud.

3. All your data on iCloud.

4. Every single login you have where you used sign-in-with-Apple.

5. Every app on your phone that you have a paid subscription for.

6. The fallback login mechanism on any of your Macs where you used iCloud as the login fallback.

The list goes on. They ask you to tie your life to iCloud. They tell you to make backups on iCloud. According to the reddit thread, this can happen if there was a fraudulent charge made with a credit card associated with the account... Not even done on the account. So then all of your data disappears?

Yes, that's what one team now says: that they have observed super conductivity and that this happens at a much lower temperature than the one claimed by the other team. But it is at ambient pressure and more importantly there are already multiple confirmations of the Meissner effect at room temperature. Besides that this experiment shows some really weird stuff happening at higher temperatures that needs to be explained.

So this race is far from run yet.

The implementation described looks so simple and reasonable; it is surprising what c++ actually ended up with, which is basically the type from the OP except that std::vector<bool> behaves incompatibility from every other vector and a std::vector<char> is slower than any other non-bool vector in mysterious ways.

Never understood why Visa and Mastercard (or its members) never turned on the stored value (“offline credit”) portions of the spec.

Plenty of retailers that just “go dark” when the payment/telco network goes down. But maybe that’s an IT issue/decision.

(At least that’s how I think it works: the card keeps track of how many unsigned offline transactions have happened and eventually says “no more” until it gets a ping back from the payment network)

> What would be a few, maybe even half dozen, lines of CSS in a separate file, are now shoved into the generated code, and repeated everywhere.

...

> One of the bits of advice Tailwind gives is to use @apply and extract common blobs of CSS into common classes2.
> Why bother to even use @apply? Just write the damn CSS

If you take a look at the official Tailwind docs (https://tailwindcss.com/docs/reusing-styles#extracting-compo...) they say:

"If you need to reuse some styles across multiple files, the best strategy is to create a component if you’re using a front-end framework like React, Svelte, or Vue, or a template partial if you’re using a templating language like Blade, ERB, Twig, or Nunjucks. ... While it’s highly recommended that you create proper template partials for more complex components, you can use Tailwind’s @apply directive to extract repeated utility patterns to custom CSS classes when a template partial feels heavy-handed."

So Tailwind recommends the use of components/template-partials as the way to reuse styles (e.g. your styled button HTML with classes goes in `button.html` and you reuse that for each button) because they think reusing styles in the traditional CSS way via classes doesn't scale (https://tailwindcss.com/docs/utility-first).

I know it's trendy to bash modern webdev here but people criticising Tailwind should at least try and understand the Tailwind approach first. Same with comments like "it's just inline styles" - they cover common knee-jerk reactions like this in the docs (https://tailwindcss.com/docs/utility-first#why-not-just-use-...).

You know how it's popular now to prefer composition over inheritance in OOP languages because it scales better? Tailwind is more like that, whereas CSS is more about preferring inheritance via cascading rules. Tailwind advocates their approach scales better to complex custom web designs. If you're just styling basic documents, you're not going to see much benefit.
I think this is a genuinely interesting point, and I wish that we as a society had a more nuanced discussion about what that right is. AdTech is largely anonymous in the same way that crypto / web3 is anonymous - it shuttles around cookies / identifiers, but largely does NOT care about any information that is actually personally identifying. If the laws were regulating storage / transmission of information that is actually personally-identifying (addresses, emails, names, etc), that would be much more reasonable in my mind.

Culture is based on the creation of those that came before. Genres of music are created as people try to mimic styles of those before…one could argue that they “trained themselves on the previous dataset”. No one creates anything in a vacuum. They utilize things that we collectively have contributed. Hell, language and writing is the open source thing that we collectively own that ppl use to create their stuff. The creation came after going to schools that we collectively pay for. And travelling on shared roads. It’s the standing on the shoulders of giants — except its really just stacked people all adding their bits.

I am not necessarily a fan of tailwind, but the author is explicitly writing how to not use a design system.

Not knowing what m-3 is is the whole point. You use it across the website to have some consistency in your spacing, and not just slap around another 8px.

Yes, you can also do that with CSS variables, and Imho at times I do think that bootstrap for all it's faults is a better base design system, especially for internal admin interfaces.
Most probably the Kenyan authorities saw the writing on the wall when it came to the West’s polices in Africa, see what’s happening now in Niger. Good for them.

I had personally no idea that any of Altman’s companies was involved in dystopian stuff like this, but it doesn’t surprise me in the slightest, as I’ve said before and I’ll say it again that from my point of view Altman (and guys like him) are merely frontmen for 3-letter US security agencies.

You're not allowed to say that because, in the wokeness version of reality, discrimination against white people is not only acceptable but encouraged. You must discard all sense of logic and fairness when you venture into that world.
There are multiple mentions of "extraterrestrial super islands", is this a mistranslation of the Meissner effect? Great term nonetheless.

Yeah, it was creepy the first few times Chase bank begged for more ways to contact me "because you don't seem to read our emails" for marketing. So far they haven't threatened to move me back to paper bills I guess cause the email isn't bouncing.

I've noticed over the last couple of years in particular that more and more emails coming in are image based only, with no plain text or even alternate text so that if you won't load images you can't even tell what the email was about. Yeah those I never read.
Yes, that's possible and something that has already happened once before: this is exactly how x-rays and eventually radioactivity were discovered, a chance contamination.

This is always true. Systems exist. There is nothing to fear about them. If someone wants a McDonald's burger they will go to McDonald's. If someone wants a steak they will go to a steak house. This is where designers and marketers can help the industry. By advocating for and selling craft.

I also remember seeing a study in Germany some years ago where they found that exclusive car commuters had the highest average BMI and bike commuters the lowest. Granted, it was not a massive (ahem) difference, but definitively a few kilos…

Well sure, if you’re going to construct a scenario where a credit score hit will have no impact on someone because they have no need for credit in the next decade, then they can certainly go ahead and ignore bills.

You’re making a lot of assumptions though. What if they don’t own a house yet? A bad credit score will make it harder to get one, increase the interest rate if they can even get approved, and also make it harder to get approved for a rental lease too. Or maybe this person is all set like you describe, but they want to guarantor a loan or a lease for one of their kids? I think credit scores are a borderline scam, but it’s hard to avoid relying on them for one thing or another for most people.
I do a lot of UI work and have never understood the appeal of Tailwind. It’s like relearning a new language. Tailwind was released in 2017. Maybe the CSS landscape wasn’t as good back then? Modern CSS is pretty awesome.

I’ve enjoyed using Vanilla Extract https://vanilla-extract.style/. It’s like css-in-js with none of the downsides as everything gets compiled to css.
Frankly there is no surer sign that the opponents of "the system" are running out of material than this god-awful "bullshit jobs" argument. We are not going to restructure our economy and raise other people's taxes to spare anyone the first-world problem of having a lame job.
I think you missed the point of Tailwind, which is not to be an end-all be-all and replace CSS, it's just a utility library to replace/reduce the size of repetitive one-off classes. Nothing prevents you from using a CSS file for the more complex things you listed (which you should do), and Tailwind doesn't claim to replace all those parts of CSS.
That is an interesting observation and puts words to some thoughts that I've had: if it turns out that this is 'the real thing' and the patent holds up South Korea is suddenly a superpower.

Reminds me of Enron “oh you just don’t get it” line. Now they were committing fraud not css but when I look at that “mess” of classes the author published that was my first thought.

How do you guys feel about tailwind? I’ve been using it on some side projects. It feels ok, but I’m constantly looking up stuff in the tailwind docs. CSS I already am pretty confortable with. I think it’s an improvement, but not by as much as I thought.
I'm confused as to this author's proposed alternative, they don't like tailwind - so go use Vue? Apples to oranges, what about people using HTML + CSS markup without the overhead of a javascript framework? What's the alternative then?

In all honestly, I just couldn't care less about "web craftsmanship", I have bigger problems to focus on than today's incredibly messy DOM. Bootstrap allows me to quickly represents my designer's design system through an set of hammers (classes) that allow me to quickly convert work, plus with modern flex styling I really don't run into complex DOM rendering issues anymore that would require me to really dive into the styling and debug.

This is the problem though. 9/10 when I get a surprise bill, it's because the hospital tacked on billing codes. So unless your model can spit out a likelihood that a clinic is going to classify an ear cleaning as a surgery, it will not prevent the worst surprise bills.

You should also include cash-price options. Since switching to an HSA, I have saved tons of money. Some hospitals even have across the board 60% discounts for cash. Pretty often the cash price can be lower than the out-of-pocket expenses when going through insurance! And I have never yet gotten a surprise bill when I settle the bills immediately.

Someone needs to legislate an autosuspension algorithm. Maximum number of consecutive hours an account can be suspended, max number of hours per unit of time (week, fortnight, month). Beyond that a human should be required to adjudicate the claims of the automated system.

What we've done is instead of reducing the staff requirements by 10x or 25x we've reduced it by 500x, which is not okay. We can't afford purely manual fraud detection, but with the stakes this high humans should have the final say. But then that's always been a thing with ergonomic business software versus poorly designed business software - whether a human is allowed to override the system or not.
