The problem with the web search in the task bar or start menu is that it's there at all, giving web results when you searched for a document or app you don't remember the name of, or the @&%$ place they moved some setting to since it's not in Settings and you can't find any normal menu path to it.

Your story is really interesting because it highlights how ineffective consequences can be if someone refuses to cooperate.

I'm curious what you would consider the "correct" approach in that kind of situation is?

It’s the religiosity. It’s incredibly tedious.
Very true. Designing the C API with intention can be a way to fix the mistakes sometimes :-)
Every big media "story nexus" generates a large population of apparently completely self-assured experts in whatever it happens to be. Everyone suddenly appears, due to self-selection of those who want to be visible, to have very strong opinions on virology/public health, climate science, energy generation, geopolitics, electoral politics, constitutional politics (not only the US document, to be clear), military strategy, whatever that month's "big story" happens to be. If you don't have an opinion on the story du jour, you don't get airtime, clicks, ad impressions, a buff to a CV, whatever. If you want the airtime, then, you must have an opinion, and it must be novel or contrarian enough to be noticeable.

This is nothing new, but it used to be mostly confined to boors at dinner parties, and perhaps the letters page. There were only a few opinion columnists. Now anyone can monetise an opinion.

AI is just another tedious episode, but the show will never end.
What's the difference between a conspiracy theory and the truth? About 9 to 18 months... Look at the censorship of speech by Facebook and others concerning COVID, done at the direction of the federal government as just one example.

Just today I was setting up a server for a side project and mulling over do I use ol' reliable Ubuntu+Ansible vs finally trying NixOS. I was very sad to see that all of the popular VPS services (Digital Ocean and the like) "no longer" officially support NixOS.

Linode was nice enough to have an official "how to set up NixOS on Linode" guide, but it requires fiddling with partitions by hand. At that point, I feel like all of the repeatability gains are gone. If I want to spin up a fresh server, I have to read a guide and set stuff up by hand? Could spend that same time setting up an Ubuntu by hand each time followed by git pull or scp to deploy. Ended up using Ansible in the end, as it really does let me just get a new VPS and deploy to it very fast when the time comes.

I wonder why the big providers once supported NixOS and then decided to stop!
I'm not surprised that this thread immediately devolved into a flamewar about the politics of illegal immigration, but can we take a step back and acknowledge what an incredible survival story this is?

These men survived fourteen days clinging to the rudder of a ship as it crossed an entire ocean. I can't imagine how difficult, unpleasant and horrifying an experience that would be. And I doubt that, if I'd been in that situation, I'd have made it through alive. What an unbelievable story.
Which is a bit surprising given Ada, Boeing and Department of Defense.
Sure, just throw your certainties in my face like the truth. You name prisons, but you forget that until recently, most children were subjected to physical violence and most of them did not go to prison.
But if you read the above correctly you would understand that it is not about breaking at all. On the contrary. It is about proportionality and that is also the hard part.
We are physical beings, why should all punishment be executed on the mind? Why is torture of the mind better? Is burden someone up with a significant debt is not seen as torture, but it is. So much so that some people commit suicide.
But, how is that better
It took way longer than that for the original conspiracy theory to be factualised. I'm talking about the fact that spooks killed a sitting president
You’re not alone. Every time I’ve tried a GPTx it’s come out with utter rubbish and proven to be a total waste of time.

That isn't what GP is saying. In order to effectively use the chat, you are going to tag that connection identifier with a name like Joe on your endpoint device, so that when a message comes in you remember this was the conversation with Joe. The server may not know that this is you and Joe, but you do.

Have you tried living without the local language?

As an outsider, first few times at the supermarket checkout was mortifying, just because there's three different common ways people ask if you want a receipt.

The government bureaucracy? Getting my Anmeldebestätigung sorted was intimidating (in the UK, the equivalent is posted through your letterbox and you fill it out and post it).

Mandatory health etc. insurance? I misunderstood, picked an irrelevant kind of insurance instead of what I needed, only found out when I got a job and HR told me and sorted it for me.
There is certainly a lot of inequality in the USA, but Mexico and other Central and South American nations take it to yet another extreme.
Conspiracy:

An agreement to perform together an illegal, wrongful, or subversive act.

Insofar as 2 or more people have coordinated, colluded, or planned an illegal, wrongful, or subversive act, a conspiracy is afoot.

In fact, almost all significant illegal, wrongful, or subversive acts include conspiracies to commit said acts.

I think it is safe to say that the present sociopolitical and socioeconomic landscapes are rife with activities, writ large, that are, from some reasonable perspective, illegal, wrongful, or subversive in nature.

To remove the idea of conspiracy as a valid concept wielded by reasonable people is perhaps the most surgical of injuries to society which might otherwise seek to prevent or interfere with these kinds of illegal, wrongful, or subversive acts.

When a couple of people decide to rob a liquor store, we call it a conspiracy. When someone suspects that a global cabal of banks might be colluding to screw the world over, we discredit them as a “conspiracy theorist”. (Libor)

Insofar as it is reasonable to suspect that an individual might be capable of doing something illegal, wrongful, or subversive, it is also reasonable to suspect that an organisation might might do the same.

We are conditioned to protect the systems and individuals that parasitise society, because we do not wish to confront the flaws in the system we serve.

That said, there are plenty of nutjobs out there with outrageous claims. Some of them are delusional, some of them are attention seekers, some of them are merely ignorant or misinformed. But we should call them nutjobs, not conspiracy theorists.

We ignore our civic duty to be vigilant “conspiracy theorists” at our peril. In doing so, we give cover to the lies that are big enough to be easy to believe.
You are describing the company with accelerating production, with the highest market share, with most sales in the world, with highest profit margin in the industry, as if it’s on its last legs and failing. Let me guess, you’re a Tesla fan. What exactly is Toyota falling behind on? Clearly it’s not electric motors and batteries, because hybrids have those. Hybrids are in fact significantly more complicated than a BEV. So what is it?

And then there is that guy that points out the conspiracy to supplant every suspicion that nefarious actors plot against the unsuspecting masses of all others.

There are conspirators against your natural destinies. From profiteers looting government and the populous to secret social and political interests who thrive in the shadow of your refusal to believe.

Incredulity, self assurances, and an indulgent delusion of normalcy obscure and protect these conspiracies.

Quite. And in fact, in this specific situation, in C++ you don't need to jump through any hoops at all, because you have the Rational class there already, ready for use. This whole business only exists to provide a C-friendly wrapper for this existing C++ class, along the lines of the one proposed in the article, with a couple of tweaks that I think would improve it.

No such law exists in Germany. You are explicitly allowed to work even while waiting for the decision for being granted asylum is being made.

iPad and Linode, 1 Year Later (2012)
I found the article very unsettling and seems to be advocating bigger government, financial repression, and authoritarian control of what people spend their money on:

"This [CBDCs] could enable central banks to encourage or discourage certain spending in more targeted ways, for example by restricting what can be spent by people in certain areas or income brackets."

There's also an argument that higher rates are better for the environment. They are a headwind to rampant consumption. They decrease investment in areas that might not generate a return, focusing resources on existing viable businesses instead of new unproven businesses that are likely to fail (wasted energy).

The forest example is very reductive and completely ignores other costs and factors: the expected price of timber and machinery in the future, and the inflation rate in general, the cost of re-planting the forest, wages, the convexity risk of the bonds (if rates appear to be accelerating higher, your bonds will drop in value), the confidence in the government, ... and so on. It also doesn't consider that higher rates curb construction loans, and thus decrease excessive demand for timber, which results in a pile up of timber inventories initially. Businesses then react by doing less logging in future.

Zero rates (or more accurately artificially low rates) encourage gambling and waste. If I can get a cheap loan, I can go buy loads of machinery and land and start logging, whereas I wouldn't have bothered if the financing wasn't available. Financial repression in China for instance allows for the cheap financing that builds enormous ghost cities. All that sand-dredging they do emits huge amounts of CO2.
Hardly, pollution deaths get lumped into many other statistics but you can work backwards.

It’s the same basic math as figuring out how many cancers were caused by Hiroshima. Individually some people would have gotten cancer either way so you can’t guarantee some specific person died from that exposure, but you can compare populations and find statistically significant differences.
> I read some statistics that per mile, humans are actually pretty safe.

"we could be worse" is cold comfort to those affected (maimed or killed) by car crashes

> I read somewhere on average Americans spend 70 billion hours a year driving. That is a lot of driving.

That is a lot of driving! I look forward to seeing what more productive use we put that time to when computers are doing the driving.
At this point it looks like turning the Grand Canyon into the largest reservoir in the western US would've been a smart move. Water is the limiting factor for millions of people and important food sources.

“All-in-one” frontend framework designed for load speed.

This is the hype train forgetting where the data comes from. I’m pretty sick of it actually. This isn’t all in one, unless you’re thinking about all your frontend dependencies being able to be built together. It completely neglects these aspects of web dev:

- Security (the biggest one)

- Data exposure APIs (how do you expose and query your data? If you say flat files, I’m ashamed).

- Real-time is completely missing.

- still relies on other frontend frameworks like Svelte or React.

So, what, exactly is Astro other than YACC like Vite? And why do frontend devs insist they have an “all-in-one” framework when they clearly don’t?

Not needing root is a game changer.

Another benefit is that "traditional" package managers may litter your system with configuration files and post-install scripts (for the software you are installing and all of its dependencies), some of which can persist even after uninstalling the packages.

Nix prevents that by design.
I wonder what's it like at an Apple Store when you go in for an in-warranty replacement - does a Genius in the back have to go through this process of removing so many screws and carefully wrestling with the internals or do they have some hardware to assist this process?

> Should the average higher-education-qualify adult be prevented from participating in the judiciary?

This might be a bit spicy, but I don't think that a bachelors degree should count as higher education anymore. So, no, the average higher-education-qualify adult shouldn't be prevented from participating in the judiciary, but I think the bar for 'higher-education-qualify' should at least be a post-bachelors degree specific to the field.
My understanding is "safety". You need to cover all cases of enums, you can't implicitly coerce a number to a string, you can ensure that there's no side-effects in company code, etc.
> AI has a good chance of being dangerous and caring even less about our biosphere than we do.

I had a thought when reading this sentence: the earth is well suited for biological life. AI life might thrive anywhere there are raw materials, solar and/or nuclear power, probably water, and mineral resources. So, advanced AIs far in the future might be more inclined to spread out into the solar system.

re: the article: I thought the very last part was right-on. Most effective uses of AI are likely to highly personalized for individuals.

Putting on my “rose colored” futuristic glasses (I have written about 20 AI books in the last 30 years, I have made a lot of inaccurate predictions, and some good predictions) when I think of a future marketplace for AI products and services, I think the customer base will be both humans and other AIs.
I live in Germany.
I’d say that we should consider that this technology is currently saving lives (by aiding drug discovery for instance) and banning it due to potential, unproven unknown future capabilities is much more harmful.
Yes if you have a reasonable person in front of you. But your children can be very unreasonable and cruel just because they are playing. The "why" questions will just continue until you are exhausted and they will not have done it anyways. Also, "because I say so" is the truth and the reason. "I say so because I want you to do it, and I want you to do it because I say so. "

No.
Adding a ‘but’ in there is often times used to negate everything before the but, like “I’m sorry but I had to fork you” would imply you’re not sorry, you had to do this.

> you can compare populations and find statistically significant differences.

No, you can't. There are far too many variables involved, people confuse correlation with causation, ignore the null hypothesis, and most of all: the people doing these calculations in the first place (on either side) have an axe to grind.
Podman is in universe, so it's not really supported by Ubuntu. It's always worth checking what you use that's in universe, as if you're mostly using universe, I'd start looking at a different distro.
The really weird thing though is, how people defend their preconceptions with "conspiracy theories", invoking stigma and thereby inhibiting further inquiry.

Which is unfortunate, as the actual reasons are at times much more interesting (and inconvenient) than people's infantilism allows.

There have been real conspiracies (MKULTRA might be remembered, Snowden's leaks were mere consiracy theory pre-leak). And those claiming them to be real were shunned as lunatics.

The (certainly?) currently existing, real conspiracies hide (are hidden?) behind the stigma as well. Is it wise to let them?
Most people are tired of it. I think the tired perspective is the biased one.

chatGPT hasn't been around for that long and the AI that LLMs represent is pretty revolutionary. About a year in with all the developments surrounding it the hype logically should still be relevant.

I think it's the news cycle that floods our feeds with this stuff constantly so you can see the same hype both in headlines and in discussions over and over again that makes people tired of it. But make no mistake LLMs are somewhat of a turning point in technology that literally Just happened in terms of popularity.

The hype makes sense if you think about it. It's very easy to get sick of something that is overly popular, that is a very common human bias.

Just remember validity and significance is an orthogonal concept to popularity. Yes LLMs are popular but that should not influence your opinion on it.

Where do the startups burn all that cash? The first one mentioned burned $20 million without even finding a product-market fit, the second one burned a BILLION in a year.

A decent programmer costs you maybe $250/y in wages, tools, office rent etc. Not counting equity grants as those don’t affect cashflow.

$20 million gets you some 80 man-years of solid senior-level programming. Where does all of that effort go? Just endless rewrites in different microservice frameworks?

Or is the money burned on something else? Google ads? AWS bills?
