Also McLuhan: every communication medium is an extension of man.

AI is a turbo extension of man's ability to string noises together into meaningful phrases: phrases which, like language in general, project the speaker's thought into the mind of the recipient.

AI magnifies this into a stream of babble that can be generated at zero marginal cost and at light speed, altho with the caveat that the stream may have self-reinforcing perturbations (internal feedback loops ?) that may or may not refer back to "reality".

At certain points in its history, Christianity was fairly eager to ingest aspects of existing religions if it meant that they got the account (conversion). This eventually became controversial (eg see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_Rites_controversy), but a lot of early regional Christian saints, say, are, well, suspiciously similar to pre-existing deities or other pagan figures.
Sure. Whereas in many many cases, zmodem was not an option, Kermit worked everywhere, if you believe OP.

I also remember using Kermit for a BBS file transfer once. Once.
Working in games is an amazing way to discover abusive behaviour and the value of defensive programming, and that is just for dealing with your colleagues (may not be joking).

Gamers are incredible at breaking things when using your product legitimately, once they decide to look behind the curtain you are in trouble. One of the big advantages (acknowledging the downsides) of in cloud gaming is it dramatically reduces the scope for this.
Having used Emacs for most of my adult life, I find it pretty amazing that basic unit conversion isn't a part of every OS out there. I use it several times every week. I don't use the gnu units package though, I stay with the functionality built into Emacs calc.

Not necessarily. There's going to be new code in the data. There's also a form of reinforcement learning or sort of natural selection taking place where the code selected by the user can be used to train the system and favored for showing in future suggestions.

let's just please not forget that they lived in a different time and place... I'm sure in Hilbert's time there was nothing bad about what he said like there's now.

not that I particularly like Hilbert, he gives me a bad vibe because:

how do I forgive shitty professors who have refused to help me? how do I let go of the fact they are awful people from a different era? How do I refuse to undergo the rituals which teach things I whish to not learn (certain attitudes) while at the same time making it through those same rituals I reject?

The articles theory that old code is what determines if a language is loved / dreaded is really severely flawed. 5 of the most loved languages are ancient (Python, JS, Sql, Shell, HTML) and also all have reputations of having hacked (i.e. poor maintability) together code.

Additional the top loved programming languages are beyond 10 years old which means there's going to be plenty of 3yr old codebases for people to be programming in. So quite trivially it's not that the languages are too new to have old crusty codebase ...

> The TOP 15 Loved Programming Languages
> Rust, TypeScript, Python, Kotlin, Go, Julia, Dart, C#, Swift, JavaScript, SQL, Shell, HTML, Scala, and Haskell.

ObjC and or Swift really should be in the Green languages column as well; what's he going to do new projects on iOS using? I think also many people would keep Java / C#|C++ in the Green column as well. SQL also would be in the green column. Moving 3 languages from Brown to Green really skews the later pie charts.

I doubt it. It's much easier to make the ISP's block DNS, and perform deep packet inspection. Require domestic TLS to chain to the government's root-CA, so you have to allow government MITM.

When looking at Europe and all the different languages spoken, along with the over arching religion of the region if not the world, Catholicism, headquartered in Europe, are you not left wondering why they didnt put more effort into getting different tribes to communicate in a common dialect to break down barriers?

Or if Latin was their common dialect, then does it show that royalty and govt's are the divisive one's pitting people against each other, continuing to get a free pass whilst their atrocities are airbrushed out of history?

"unhampered by deadlines and business constraints would surely be able to write bug-free code in Fortran and C :) "

> Can you give some examples of those tools?

ASAN (address sanitizer), UBSAN (undefined behaviour sanitizer), Valgrind.

All of these only detect runtime violations, so they can find bugs but don't prove their absence. On top of that I got a sufficient number of false negative or even bugs that wouldn't reproduce/wouldn't give interesting information with these tools that I can confidently tell you they don't even approach the guarantees provided by Rust.

There are also static analyzer like cppcheck and clang tidy. They do find some useful issues, but they:

1. Have false positives
2. Are a hassle to add on top of existing projects
3. Have false negatives, so a code that passes is not necessarily devoid of UB.

> Are smart pointers in C++ that ubiquitous and good that memory corruption is a thing of the past?

Smart pointers in C++ effectively prevent some classes of double free errors and some classes of leaks (like all RAII, I might add). They do very little against use-after-free in the general sense, because as soon as you take an observer pointer/reference (the equivalent of a Rust borrow), you have to either:

1. Forfeit safety by handling its lifetime on your own
2. Forfeit performance by unnecessarily cloning data (and also forfeit correctness in some cases, as the "sea of shared pointers" approach of some codebases create object identity issues and memory cycles).

The standard library is also full of footguns that can cause UB, such as calling `vector::front()` on an empty vector, that come up a lot in practice. I think cppcheck was able to flag some of these but I'm unsure of this off the top of my head.

Lastly C++ has a slew of very ugly errors like ODR violations that do happen in practice (albeit rarely) and that are completely outside the purview of tools (the last one a former colleague wrote would generate completely garbage information in asan, and would cause valgrind itself to segfault. The error cost the afternoon of two engineers for what was a typo causing a namespace to be early closed in a file... The kind of abhorrent error that causes to avoid these languages as much as I can).

I developed in C++11 for almost 10 years, and I am now a professional Rust developer. Productivity, developer experience, and correctness are night and day, Rust's advantage.
Around the turn of the millennium a bunch of high profiles games were ported to linux. All of those are hard to run today as rely on libraries that are no longer easily available on a common Linux distro. Yet wine runs the WIN32 version just fine.

In the mid '10s Feral (and a to a lesser extent Aspyr), ported many AAA games to linx. Many of the ports were of quite good quality. I own a few of them, yet occasionally I have to switch to the Proton version as the native one fails to start.

OSS games are the exception of course: being able to produce a good working binary from source make them future proof.
What is the point of a title that implies something sinister when there’s, functionally speaking, no such thing as an EULA that isn’t “imposed” and “freedom-restricting”?

At first blush there’s nothing obviously Draconian or pernicious about these changes… the overall EULA is certainly not a Libertarian’s wet dream, but then I’m not sure a game aimed at children is really the place to be experimenting with myopic political fantasies.
Nah Android folks still have refurbished LG phone or ROG phone to buy to be honest. Top tier DAC chip is embedded into the phone directly. If you are not using top tier TypeC DAC cost 200USD or something, your sound quality lose in every aspect.

The 'Stack Overflow Developer Survey' is simply not a reliable source of information on what languages are popular and unpopular. Most programmers don't use Stack Overflow to the extent that they'd fill in a programming language survey.

I think they mean on the other side: using the Costco prices to go over and get the printer for even cheaper at BestBuy.

Edit: I was just thinking a little more about this and wondering "wait, why would they want to stop people from doing that?" Best hypothesis: you see the Costco price and you know that it's going to be the best price you're going to find on that; there's no reason to shop around, if you want it you just go to Costco and get it.

Declarai: A simple extensible framework for working with LLMs in software
Rando site with rando signup has a non zero chance of being stupid enough to store the passwords in clear text. And I've had quite a few letters in the mail about disclosure that our accounts were hacked, were sorry, boo hoo for us, nuttin for you. But unless the site is completely bonk, I always make rando passwords with my special secret rando key maker which is called pwgen.

I sleep easy knowing that all my secrets and my os is made by all organic free range programmers who never get mad they are being taken for a ride. But for a good cause you see. Software freedom is very important. Until that day bills need to be paid and you see, sometimes ingredients to computer food are not on the box.

Oh hopefully I can tack on one last thing I think is just hard to ignore. Secret passwords in plain text are horrible I think people can agree. But people store many life details in clear files open at least to daemons and lots of little codes see even if on an encrypted drive. Think of things like tax returns, insurance forms, records for all kinds of things. Come to think of it, I never really safe guarded any of that stuff more than my plain text file that was actually encrypted and everything at one time. But no longer.

And then finally, in my system dirs I have over 500,000 files. If open source is secure like a bazaar is, there couldn't be Ali Baba and 40 thieves in there someplace? Really? Sometimes ignorance is bliss.

No, what they need is to claim ownership of a Google Maps entry and a Yelp page. I don’t know if I’ve ever visited a bakery’s website in my life, but I've found plenty by searching Google Maps.

I tried iOS. The fact that you can't even do something as basic as alphabetize your app icons was infuriating to me. And it was even more infuriating when they finally added some way to access your apps as alphabetically as a scrolling list at the very end of the home screen with less priority than their terrible AI auto-categorized apps. It doesn't really scream attention to detail when they put "Mini Metro" in an auto group with transit apps.
Seems like a wild generalization.
Let's be less cynical. Nothing to do with borrowing reputation.

The original authors have something. They don't have the expertise in condensed matter physics to really know what. They don't know how to report results and what results would be conclusive. Their work is simply not convincing, and if they were experts they would also not be convinced.

That's why they brought in another collaborator who is an expert. But because the paper was released early it's clearly a mess. You can see the big quality improvement though just between the two drafts.
Modelled dietary scenarios often fail to reflect true dietary practice and do not account for variation in the environmental burden of food due to sourcing and production methods.

Here we link dietary data from a sample of 55,504 vegans, vegetarians, fish-eaters and meat-eaters with food-level data on greenhouse gas emissions, land use, water use, eutrophication risk and potential biodiversity loss from a review of 570 life-cycle assessments covering more than 38,000 farms in 119 countries.

Dietary impacts of vegans were 25.1% of high meat-eaters (≥100 g total meat consumed per day) for greenhouse gas emissions, 25.1% for land use, 46.4% for water use, 27.0% for eutrophication and 34.3% for biodiversity.
I don't understand where this sentiment is coming from. I have seen so many logs on HN that tryo to explain the "gotcha" difference between hardware and software and I don't understand who they are targeting. For me it is obvious that VHDL maps to hardware. When I got to actually writing VHDL I was like "where is the gotcha? These people lied to me. Hardware works exactly like hardware!".

It feels condescending to read on the internet how hardware engineers clain that software engineers don't know how hardware works. Any kid that has played around with Redstone intuitively knows the difference and in fact children are more likely to have extensive experience with hardware than with software because most games have some sort of logic gate system but only a tiny minority lets you program unless the entire game is based around programming.
In the meantime there is no irrefutable proof

Also, corporations and governments should be careful what they wish for, because an iron fist may eventually convince a substantial number of people to either use alternative DNS servers or use Tor and [hopefully] I2P.
