I’m not sure how to break this to you gracefully but you, your parents, your children, and every person you have ever met or even contemplated will die, and along with them their hopes, dreams, and preferences.

The degree to which one type of diversion “actually matters” or not should be taken in that context.
I always wanted to be able to teach what I'm learning, so from the beginning of learning about a new topic is try and rephrase the information I receive and place it within the world I already understand. It's not so easy, but after years thinking about e.g. algebra I've become a good teacher.
In a true capitalist meritocracy, all the "social bonds", "caring", "kindness", "ethics", and other crap is, at best, inefficiency. Often it's a barrier to optimizing your own career. Or worse - an obstacle to maximizing the profits of the 0.0001%.

Good thing we're finally getting rid of it!

If you want to keep the call into a C compiler, you might want to go with freestanding (no calling into glibc by accident) and position independent, see if you can get everything statically resolved. Nothing in the loader relocation tables. Then mmap the entire elf. That gives you tables of constant data and removes all the edge cases that come from carving .text out.

If you're partly looking for a easy and sufficient answer, and are building an elf anyway, much like the sibling post, I'd think dlopen is probably the way to go. Beware that dlclose might be a no-op, in which case eventually the address space leak will sink you.
Why are people online mean to each other? It's because of immoral journalists writing outrage bait and playing with people's emotions...The Atlantic is part of the problem.

Go to the real world, and people are much nicer to each other.

If you remove politics from it, Americans are pretty good to each other. Also, if you remove the internet...Americans are pretty good to each other in real life situation. It's as soon as any politics is injected that a divide starts. From people saying the people in Ohio didn't deserve aid because they were a Trump heavy district, to people saying Hawaii never did anything for anyone (aka Republicans), so why care about their wildfire? I've seen that type of thing become increasingly more common. Politics has completely broken people's brains.

I wish people would just turn off the news. They sensationalize everything, from "Red state" poverty to "Blue state" crime. They know it gets clicks, so they play it up. The modern media model is broken and doesn't serve democracy or society. Couple that will grifters online hocking nonsense to rile people up and you end up with a lot of angry people that aren't really even sure what they are angry about.
That's not really what I meant re slogans, they were more examples of convenience. But I could have expressed myself better there.

When I see political comments get flagged, it's usually because they said something explicitly offensive or insulting. They'll sign of with an edit attacking downvoters, say something insulting about their political opponents, or reference a conspiracy theory. That will reliably get you flagged regardless of the position you are advocating.
>So they are more likely to form than small black holes.

This certainly does not follow from the rest of your comment. I'm pretty sure it's false.
I suppose the difference is that coal, or energy, is an input into every process conceivable. Any kind of transport, transformation, or information about anything requires an energy source, and coal at the time was ideal. It even displaces food because you'd rather feed coal to a machine than food to a laborer.

You get a virtuous circle from coal cheapening everything, coal demand increases, so it becomes worthwhile to improve coal tech/infra, and that makes coal cheaper again.

Food itself is limited by declining returns. Your second steak isn't as good as the first, and at some point you stop even though you can afford it. Steel had a huge explosion but also ultimately found its limits.

So what about AI? Well for the moment it seems limitless. There's a ridiculous number of things we can image we'd do if AI became cheap. In that way you might think it will go the way of coal.
You either reroute traffic from twitter domains to the new X domain and it's subdomains.

Or you only use X for the front end and it just connects to the twitter domain in the backend.

The former will affect the existing product and the latter is just making changes to the new front end. I'd prefer the latter.

One thing to note: the author of the linked blog posts uses nvi, which is
not exactly vi either (but rather, a reimplementation of vi to circumvent
copyright issues originating from ex/vi being based on ed).

It gets very close, but there are some extra features (e.g. multi-window,
multi-undo) and subtle incompatibilities in some cases.[1] Either way,
I suppose its feature set is much closer to that of traditional vi.

> My biggest struggle has been finding good resources to learn the "proper"
way to use it

I would recommend reading through the manpage, I've learned a lot doing that.
Some tips:

* Most line-oriented operations in vim that are missing from vi can be
done using filter commands. e.g. you can emulate vim gww as !!fmt.

* vi has no cib, dib, etc. But it has %, which is usually good enough.

* Visual mode is vim-only, but marks come from vi (which, in general, can be
used for the same purpose).

* If you're using nvi, you have multi-level undo too (try u.....). In
traditional vi, the best you can get is "1 "2 ... for deleted text (and
U for restoring saved lines).

> The only seemingly unsurmountable hurdle I can think of is the inability
(as far as I can tell) to bind control key chords to movement in insert mode.

Yeah, vi is fundamentally a modal editor, if you want key chords you're
probably better off using emacs. (Or *vim, I guess.)

That said, you can define abbreviations, which work in input mode. e.g. I use
an adapted version of the HTML abbreviation file from
https://thomer.com/vi/vi.html#macros. (Most links are dead, unfortunately. But
the HTML abbreviations work.)

[1]: At least in my nvi version (nvi2):

iabcd^[:s/b/^V^M^M

places the cursor on the line with a. Heirloom vi and vim both place it
on the line with cd. Probably an nvi bug.

Wouldn't that generate an entirely random but valid output? Here you want a valid output related to the request.

> And why would you need an LLM, a model of natural language, if all you want is to generate structured text, anyway?

So that you can parse unstructured text from a person and return structured data for a machine.
Oh, I wasn’t aware Node had originally pitched performance. Was it only in the context of single-threaded IO?

Yes, from the hiring perspective that “isomorphism” makes a lot of sense on paper.

Pardon me, in your third paragraph, what “other factors” are you referring to?

As for the companies that made such a move, well, it’s their choice. There’s always a reason, it boils down in the end just to whether it was well justified at the moment. Time will tell.

A reasonable argument in my decision making was Spring’s huge memory footprint in a microservices architecture deployed to public cloud. Go’s profile was nigh of 100m peak RSS for a given payload, while Spring’s was 1.5g, per instance. I could just take one commodity nano VM at $5 a month instead of multiple 1g-4g VMs at $50-150 a month each. FinOps. It’s a common theme, suppose you have a service mesh with many tiny services, it does sound right to have them utilize just as few resources and be spawnable instantaneously on-demand. So a mixture of Java and Go services comes up quite frequently.

But then you need to factor in a lot of other costs and the fact that Go’s GC will hiccup anyway and potential goroutine leaks could bring down the entire cluster. And so on. That’s just to say that—on paper—it might look assertive, while in reality you would get to realize that there’s so much opaque minute detail behind the Spring or Quarkus APIs that once you realize that it’s missing in your Go or Node code base and get to reintroduce it (wasting hours), you end up with something that need not perform just as well. The more stuff you plug into your Go or Node lightweight frameworks, the more integrational complexity is on you and the less agile you get. It’s all their choice.

There are ways to minimize JVM resource utilization. And you don’t need to always use Spring, and you can have instantaneous start-up times with persisted app state. To me, it’s getting harder and harder to justify Go or Node on the backend.
They could have fixed those issues without reinventing the wheel. Additionally you can make the game more accessible by adding all kinds of game modes for people to learn from, without touching the high level functionality the pros depend on.

I don't think it's hard to innovate in this area. Unfortunately most game companies don't see profit in a "proper" game, and instead chase after "games as a service" that optimize for in-game purchases, and having a product life that is meant to die once the cow has been milked.

I think that is a missed opportunity (in hindsight though). Had Blizzard taken SC in a more chess-like direction, it could have easily spread as much as chess did. It's not that SC2 is bad, it's just a completely different game that is only building on top of the art and backstory of the previous one, when it could have been a greater success had they also built on top of the game design that was already tried and tested. I don't play AoE, but it seems that franchise is doing this to some extent, at least it doesn't seem to be reinventing their own wheel.
Your two responses in this thread are awful: awfully confident while awfully misinformed. Even calling them misleading would be an understatement. You are spreading outright bad information here. Please stop.
It's very hard to filter blatant self-promotion and marketing jargon from actual innovation (which goes at a much slower pace) these days.

The speed people are just creating wrappers or minor changes and using words like "disruptive", "game-changing", "democratising <something>" just feel so inflated and boring at this point.

I hope this gets very soon into the next phase of the hype cycle[1], so the we can talk about something else.

I have spent < an year in US (mostly in California) and found the America behaviour to be very polite in speech but indifferent/mean in actions. The passive aggressive behavior seemed quite common.

As an outsider sometimes you are not aware of cultural norms, but I always felt the margin for error for what Americans considered "acceptable" was too narrow. There was no benefit of doubt, and sometimes an explicit dislike for someone who did not immediately fit in.
I don't live in America, but I think this is related to the unprecedented mass communication that has been made possible by the internet, and as cliche as it sounds it truly made borders disappear between different countries, contents and cultures, which is making this generation exposed to things previous generations didn't even think they exist or have people believe in it, the only countries that seem a bit isolated from this are the ones who have their own internet circles because of language or laws.

But I'm a little optimistic that this would eventually pass with time, If we apply `Tuckman's stages of group development` to the whole world and communication between its parts I think we are in storming phase.
i think people reflect on what would be their choice faced with acute and incurable pain, like terminal cancer.
depression, being curable, is not on top of people's minds. i doubt that any pro-suicide person would prefer suicide to treatment.

> Our society has become one in which people feel licensed to give their selfishness free rein.

Americans reaping what they sow. What do you expect? The US is one of the most capitalist societies on earth. American propaganda over more than a century has built a culture which venerates the super wealthy and teaches deep hatred for the poor.

This worked to keep a small but important middle strata of workers in line but access to that class is harder and harder. If the system starts to fail for the majority of people, of course people are going to be angry! And American propaganda prevents little class solidarity or basic awareness of the exploitative system, so Americans channel that anger into hatred for one another.

I was 14 during the bubble and started a webdesign and hosting company with a 16 year old friend.
It took weeks to open a business bank account as it was not possible for 18- to do so.
We sold 25mb webhosting for 30,-. We designed websites with Photoshop and programmed them in php with an IDE called AceHtml Pro. We sold them for 1000,-.

The media coverage was big. Local newspapers, local TV. I was too young to know what I was doing, we only had 2 customers. Internet was booming news and offline channels covered whole pages about us. After the media attention we grew fast. We hired a rack at a datacenter and were refused many times at the door, because we looked like kids.

We earned quite some money for our age, build pc's and servers, went to LAN parties.

We hacked the webserver of a competitor company in a village nearby and replaced the photos of employees with edited variants with different ugly color shades. It took them weeks to notice. We used Telnet to find the version of the Exchange server, hacked into the email, found webserver credentials.

One time a company wanted a contract for the webdesign. We didnt have those. We took the contract from some competitor but forgot to change their business name. They signed without reading.

We communicated over IRC and landline phone. I had an internet connection over ISDN, my cofounder cable (CATV). Sometimes we used ICQ.

We had business cards with our logo and we would give them to everyone. On a bicycle we went through the villages to spread businesscards to farmers. Those cards had the sticker of a cow on it. 2 weekends spreading cards gave us about 10 clients. We created a simple website with pictures of the farm and equipment. They paid 750 for it and 150 per extra page. They shared the website with family and other farmers. Often this gave new clients.

After 2 years or so we got bored and gave everything away to a company we were friends with.

Now I own several software companies.

Porsche is a German company and German highways have no speed limit, so you can see an old lady going back home from a shopping mall at 130mph. Speeds that would be considered super irresponsible or track-only in the US.
I think you might be getting too caught up in people, rather than interests.

Even if no individual retains power, you could still have a particular interest (a corporation, a guild, an industry body, an ethnicity) corrupting the legislative, executive or judicial functions of government in their favour.

The US has been polarised to its core.

I don't know if it's because of the two-party/first-past-the-post political system, or if that's a consequence as well, but everything about the US just oozes binary thinking (even on the international stage: remember Bush's "if you're not with us, you're against us" war rhetoric).

There's no room for nuance, everything must be black&white. The typical HN visitor should have the mental bandwidth for nuance, but more often than not that same mentality is showing even here.
This is HN, mate. You have to forget about common sense and having a serious discussion here.
They should probably start progressively tax the weight of an EV in a few years to encourage manufacturers to build lighter vehicles.
I find this story to be more highlighting / reminding of the phenomenon of clawback, and how do you slow people from consuming more and more.

As soon as you achieve some gain in energy efficiency of anything, people find new ways to use even more energy. Make lights more energy efficient and LED-powered, and they put up more lights. Lower the cost of fuel or electricity, and they use even more. Make a car less polluting and powered by batteries, they make it even heavier and more energy consuming.

I don’t think that’s true at all. I have a few mutuals on Mastodon who appeared on Mastodon a few times when Elon did something particularly stupid, then went idle again. Eventually some of them stayed, whether because of exceptionally nonsense Twitter stuff, or because they got used to the place. This was all largely before Threads was an option, though, and I’d assume that those sort of low-stickiness users will mostly end up there instead.

Well, parent did qualify it with the word "small".

If a small[1] amount of money is liable to cause strained familial relationships, then the loan doesn't matter, because that relationship is already fragile.

The other side of the coin, especially with the qualifier "small", is that you can quickly figure out in your familial network is reliable and who is not. This knowledge is useful for more than just money.

As someone famous once said, "If I lend a friend $100 and never see them again, that was money well spent".

It would be pretty easy to beat. One sure way to tell an LLM apart from a human is to type something nonsensical and optionally repeat it multiple times. A human would inevitably answer with something along the lines of "what the hell are you on about dude???", which is something you'd never see from an LLM.

Lots of nuggets of truth in the article.
Dev Experience vs User Experience is mentioned.

On my part, I never jumped on vite, because the only argument I've heard for it, is faster dev builds. But my current builds are fast enough (I grew up with 40+ minute compile/link cycles in C++).

And I don't have a week to change my current scaffolding. If you do things right in your company you never have a week to change such a tool. Because that's a week you could spend on relevant features and bugs. Heavily advocating tool changes are fast-track to become a "problem engineer".

Also, yes, React has aged very poorly, and even more so, the ecosystem around it is rotting hard. It's moldy.

But it's still very good and is almost perfect. Maybe instead of writing a new framework, we should consider doing a React 2.0 with batteries included.

> For a large part of its history, America was awash in morally formative institutions. Its Founding Fathers had a low view of human nature, and designed the Constitution to mitigate it (even while validating that low view of human nature by producing a document rife with racism and sexism).

And there's the problem right there.

The Constitution is a ground breaking document. Just because it did not hit a grand slam home run in terms of fixing all social ills in one fell swoop doesn't mean it's "rife with racism and sexism". It established the fundamental mechanisms that would enable us to progress as a society despite individual shortcomings and faults. And we have - often at great cost.

It is those same fundamental mechanisms (freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, freedom of movement, ...) that are under attack by power mad elites. Without these mechanisms in play, of course everything becomes much more contentious.
Don't worry, there's plenty of masochistic C++ enthusiast to keep all these project going.
I agree with this.

Those communities that are more homogenous and well-knit (think of their community as an extension of their family) tend to have better success stories in escaping poverty than those that aren't.

And I'd guess it's precisely that positive feedback loop where the rich informally help the poor, and when the poor get rich, the loop repeats.
