> No one really knows why birth rates are dropping so fast.

Did anyone think to ASK THE PEOPLE why they choose not to have children? Or that would be too difficult for today's journalists and bloggers?

My case:

1) It's very difficult to raise even one child. It would degrade my quality of life a lot.

2) I hate children. I see around me lots of parents who love being parents and I simply can't understand them. This would probably make me a bad parent.

3) [The main reason.] If I had a child I would want him/her to have a better life than mine. EVERY parent wants that. But that's not possible, because my life is great!

Let me focus on 3), because this explains the difference between countries.

When the parent's life sucks (Africa), there's lots of hope and possibility of a better life for the child.

When the parent's life is great (Europe, America, Japan) with very grim predictions about the future without oil, why would anyone have children?
This article reminds me a bit about a core theme in Isaac Asimov's Foundation series, which I'm coincidentally reading (mild spoiler warning). The science of psychohistory that is used to predict the future and create the Seldon Plan, only works if the future is allowed to unfold uninformed by psychohistory itself. That's why the Foundation was founded without any psychologists or knowledge of the Seldon plan. Seldon's predictions are based on the behaviour of all human of the galaxy, but knowledge of those predictions changes the outcomes, so they are no longer reliable.

As soon as AI starts participating in our world, the data that it was trained on from before AI was participating is no longer representative of the status quo. The very presence of AI changes the world it operates in.
They didnt marked just the URLs, marked the domain as harmful.
The code example should rather be an example of what not to do. This method of concatenating different parts of sentences would fall short for any language where the adjective and noun change the form depending on each other and the context (ex. cases). Most Slavic languages make heavy use of this concept. The solution is to just have the full sentence as a single string and let the translation team write it out in its entirety. Avoid interpolating nouns, adjectives, verbs etc. as much as possible.
Of course, depends on the wrist. It just feels very small to me. I alternate between W-217H, which is a bit larger version, or Casio Duro, which feels like ok size for me, but that's analog.
> We really should have something better than email.

Maybe, but e-mail is here, the whole world knows and uses it, and even if it is not perfect, I think it does the job pretty well (put aside the fact that managing a server is hard).

> However, this is an additional barrier to entry.

Agreed. I just feel like we keep pushing the barrier down, but at some point, professionals need to learn the basics. I don't feel like we need more software in our world. We need better software. And if people can't learn their tools, I don't know if we can seriously expect them to write good software...

> The order of the words is hardcoded, with “added” preceding the date. This would be incorrect in many languages, from Dutch (“1 januari toegevoegd”)

This is simply not true. Since English and Dutch are both Germanic languages they largely work the same way. Saying "Toegevoegd: 1 januari" would be just fine. By using "1 januari toevoegd" you're syntactically changing the sentence.

Based on the numbers I have provided for the best days a day (of which I might get 50 a year) we can get 9% more output, but over a year that is maybe a few percent. If the pump needs replacing on typical pump periods of 5-10 years that will cost more than I would gain as each is going to be £200 (100 replacement and 100 for the pump) and that alone is more than a few percent of the system. If it drops the life of the panels to 20 years or requires one maintenance on the roof all the savings disappear instantly. Also if the panels cost more than 3% more than the electrical gains aren't worth it alone.

The problem is the gains are just too small and the risks and extra costs far too high.

Its not really fair because what you would do is flow this hot water into a water cylinder and get ~6KWh of water heating out of it a day. It will produce a lot more heat than that, you get nearly 4x as much heating as you do electricity but i can't use it, I don't need 120Kwh of heated water for showers and in the winter its not going to be enough to heat the house. That is fairly substantial amounts of extra power but I don't need that amount of panels of water heating I likely only need 1 solar heater, the rest is going to be wasted and not help in cooling the panels.

Who ever its for its not for people like me.

It was just a silly example.

Of course, you are correct, but we don't always have the luxury of being able to hand an entire string to a localization team, and some programmatic interpretation often needs to be done.

The best way to deal with it, is to design code that allows entire sentences to be handed to translators (I do that, most of the time).

The other advantage of writing localized content, is that it can be easily modified by non-engineers, like marketing folks. Talking points and corporate glossaries are important. Even if we don't plan to localize, it doesn't hurt to use localization tokenized content.
Agree. Anti birth would be my opinion: ask yourself, would the world be better off with the current amount of people in it or more, or with a small percentage fewer? People around you have kids anyway, that much is evident. So imo it's selfish, wanting entertainment or an excuse to meet other adults and make friends again or receive personal care at old age or whatever it may be. (But I also respect other people's opinions on this, and I don't bring this up with parents/pregnants (already too late anyway), just my own philosophy.) I haven't heard this be an official opinion of any country recently, let alone western society as a whole...

A common pattern in this type of company is that they’ll take less of a cut for their services than they’d need to actually pay their bills to keep the price customers pay competitive and to attract hosts (or drivers in the case of Uber, etc.). That’s not an invalid growth strategy but it has two risks:

1. It can give a misleading impression of how loyal customers are. People stayed in Airbnbs a lot when they were cheaper than hotels but since prices went up after Airbnb started needing to show profits, it’s really common for people to stay in a hotel at the same or lower price.

2. The bigger long-term risk is that it encourages building the wrong type of company. If you have barrels of VC money sloshing around, it is really tempting to hire a ton of people and compensate them like you’re old Google - after all, you need to expand rapidly and that needs the best executives and tons of staff, right? Unfortunately, that can make it easy to forget what industry you’re in and a certain class of investor wants to believe that doing something on the internet means it’s now a high-margin industry.

Airbnb is much better than most of their cohorts in that generation of business and they used the pandemic wisely to make some much needed cuts to their overhead, but what we’re seeing now is affecting the supply side: in a competitive market consumers aren’t willing to overpay for lodging and with everyone involved paying the full overhead costs that means being a small-time hotelier is not very profitable. That doesn’t mean doom but it means everyone should have more realistic expectations for profit margins – the hotel industry tends to be 5-10% except at the high-end where it might be 15%, so there’s money there but it’s not a Google/Facebook ad revenue kind of margin.
Reminds me a bit of how mathematics gets into all sorts of trouble once self-reference / recursion is introduced.
That's entirely fair. It definitely feels like some sort of threshold has been crossed, and the only term we have for this performance axis is "the Turing test", but you're absolutely right that LLMs are very far from perfect. It feels more like the beginning of a journey rather than the end. We should probably get in the habit of treating Turing Test performance as more like a continuous scale rather than a pass/fail condition.

Maybe it happens a lot and nobody has mentioned it here yet, but I find live, out-of-band reviews are often very effective. By this I mean looking at a patch and asking questions or raising issues with the author. I do this fairly regularly for PRs at work where the “live” aspect is just slack (I work remotely).

A dozen or so years ago I worked at a startup using svn and all reviews were like this: generate a diff, post a link to the diff on jabber, someone will comment/question. There’s room for immediate back and forth as needed. Revise, approve, done. Very lightweight, yet effective. However we were all colocated and all of the team members were high functioning so I’m not sure if it generalizes. (Also, being colocated meant that occasionally the jabber conversation could move to f2f with whiteboards if things got complicated.)

Voice-to-Code with Aider
I recently added voice support to aider, so now you can AI pair program with your voice. Aider uses the extremely accurate Whisper API to transcribe your voice and sends the resulting requests to GPT-4 along with relevant context about your codebase [0]. This combination is surprisingly effective.

GPT can better interpret casually phrased voice requests because aider sends along the relevant code context. When speaking about code, it's common to leave out many precise syntactic details that you might include when typing.

For example, you might type: "Use the Voice.record_and_transcribe() function to convert the audio to text"

But you would probably speak: "use the voice record and transcribe function to convert the audio to text".

Aider's code context allows GPT to recognize that the casually phrased spoken version is referring to a specific existing function.

Quick note on how BBC News verifies deaths in order to report them
Example:

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/jul/12/want-to-...

The propaganda part:

"By far the biggest ultimate impact is having one fewer child, which the researchers calculated equated to a reduction of 58 tonnes of CO2 for each year of a parent’s life."

If you look into the source study:

https://www.biologicaldiversity.org/programs/population_and_...

Specifically at Figure 6, you'll note that those 58 tonnes refer to the peak of the "carbon legacy curve".

As an environmentalist I'm indignant that such an association was ever drawn.

For one: who says the next generation will have nearly the same carbon footprint? That's already not the case currently and the trend is clear.

Non-latin fonts also have different glyph widths. For example cyryllic text might be same "length" but glyphs in a system font might be wider hence overall the string needs more space.
I keep seeing people say "I have X but I haven't gotten diagnosed yet". Pet peeve: you _think_ you have ADHD but you can't state that you have ADHD without a diagnosis. If you have a piece of bone sticking out of your leg, it's fair to self-diagnose with a broken leg. Mental conditions are much harder to lock down definitively, especially because ADHD, autism, and bipolar all share similar symptoms. My own personal anecdata is that the people I've known who suspected they had ADHD more often than not did but they (myself included) still needed a diagnosis before stating it as a matter of fact

> what is wrong with banning oil wells in the UK

A swift phase-out of fossil fuels should be the policy.

https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2023-07-27/the-ha...

The Harsh Truth: We're Using More Oil Than Ever

> reflexive policies like banning animal ag

Animal ag. is not on the same level as biofuels (profitable and politically convenient and wrong) or sulphate reduction (I don't watch that space).

You wrote in another discussion "what's wrong with pastures"? If you're interested in addressing these problems, I suggest exploring agriculture. You will discover that it's a much larger problem than one might infer from following mainstream media.

> you need to back this up with models and data ... which explicitly tell us not to interpret them as a future prediction

Because it's risky for the scientists monitoring a trend to provide precise predictions about the future, the major challenges lie in complex systems, long timescales, and both known and unknown unknowns. Predictions of this sort would come under criticism from various perspectives, and due to the uncertainties involved, such a step could likely result in the destruction of many careers.

ADDENDUM: I love Lisp but I want to clarify that its secret sauce is that it enables exploratory programming: programming from inside the system.

While most languages are akin to preparing a detailed blueprint and executing it (then stop to update the blueprint and try again), exploratory programming is like sculpture. You have an unformed mass full of unrealised potential, and you slowly carve it to shape.

The ADHD/Bipolar mind of the article isn't great at making plans, it's great at following its gut instinct, making shit up step by step.

Lisp enables this flow, but also Forth, Smalltalk, Self, etc., which I've been deeply obsessed with lately. Sadly, all we have today on the mainstream are basic REPLs which are a harmless, defanged version of these old environments promoting creativity and flow state.
Flag it and move on. Articles like this need to be moved to the waste bin and we can all collectively make that happen.
Right, but my point is that "Program Files" &co were so common that it forced IT people (and everybody else) to handle this correctly. Executing something one level up is not the kind of bug that's going to be unnoticed when it'll be hit so often.

Right. This has been my take since ChatGPT hit the scene.

I'm not really afraid of Skynet or AM. What worries me is that AI will accelerate the enshittification of everything as it gets baked into everything.

Think of the experience of trying to get any kind of help from a giant company with call centers. You have some legitimate problem or grievance. Any thinking person would agree that a resolution is in order.

But you're not allowed to access a thinking person. What you get instead is some wage slave who has to follow a script. The script doesn't have your situation in it. They don't have some button they can press to solve your problem. There's a gigantic bureaucracy between you and the person who could fix your issue. Eventually you may just give up and mark your issue down as unsolvable.

This is already a realistic situation today, but now imagine that there's a new layer in front of all this where you have to convince an LLM your problem is worth considering. Or imagine the human on the other end has to try to send your request through some AI system.

It's not going to launch all the nukes, or construct nanofactories to make a plague. It's just going to get in your way, serve you garbage, frustrate you, and make the world a slightly worse place.

Maybe in the far future it could be more of a Skynet situation, I dunno. But between then and now there will be plenty of low level annoyance for anyone having to deal with these systems.

I'm not as cynical as this post reads - I think just like the whole internet there are still opportunities for good here, for people's lives to be improved by technology. But our incentives right now sure encourage the worse scenario.
I don’t think this article is accurate in that about 99.9% of movies don’t spend any time on who cleans the toilets (Jupiter Ascending is that0.1%).

I mean Star Wars can be seen as Cold War propaganda, but not because they never describe who irons the storm trooper uniforms. Or who manufactures the tooth paste.
