> It WAS logically consistent. But that's 100% irrelevant. Logic based on faulty assumptions is worthless, this is just "garbage in, garbage out". There is absolutely no morals to be had from garbage assumptions.

Hard disagree. That's a utilitarian mindset. Morals is relevant regardless of whether the assumptions are faulty.

Even if Hitler had been right, and genociding Jews and Slavs truly was what would bring Germany up, even then, he would have been morally wrong.

You're begging the question here: the ends definitely do NOT justify the means in the case of genocide. That's it. Hitler was a morally bankrupt man not because of his flawed assumptions (we do agree they were flawed) but because he decided genocide was acceptable. Nothing else matters. Genocide is always wrong.

> The immorality of genocide flows downstream from my morals, it's not an axiom

Inasmuch as we are humans and there's no such thing as objective fact, but you're saying is trivially true but also too abstract.

For humans, genocide of other humans is always wrong. Don't sci-fi me, don't insult my intelligence. I have no failure of imagination: there is simply no future scenario where genocide or rape is acceptable, ever.

Genocide is always wrong. Survival at all costs -- say, by murdering children -- is unacceptable. No future scifi scenario you can think of will make it acceptable. It's ok to lose -- not you, humanity I mean -- if we reach such a dead-end where the only possible "solution" is genocide. It's ok to say "we cannot solve this problem, we cannot follow this abhorrent path".

"Your morals, axioms, etc": as I said, I've little patience for moral relativism as an argument for this kind of debates.
It's fairly linear for the same kind of truss, like say a 15 foot span to a 20 foot span - just think bigger triangle. Past a certain point, in order to support the shear/wind/snow loads across a span requires increasingly higher grades and width of lumber and you start getting into non-linear territory. Pole barns are an extremely common order for truss plants, and that size should be pretty standard. In single family houses, though, you start getting into "features" pretty quick which affect the price quite a bit, think ceiling trays, HVAC platforms and so on, so you're pretty quickly into some nonlinear territory there as well.

> Putin has the sense of drama

Putin was literally unable to resist the Wagner's march on Moscow. He had to negotiate a cease fire. The dramatic move would have been eliminating Prighozin then, not two months later.
It's the other way around. Having multiple targets increases the motivation to use build systems.
Incredible. In the time I'd spend creating one image that exactly fits my or my client's needs or buying a high quality stock photo, I can generate literally millions of photorealistic, unappealing, images that would require a skilled commercial artist to make useful for all but the most throwaway uses. What about for some high-volume throwaway use case? I generated like 5 images before I got a 3/4 shot instead of a full-body shot. bzzzzzzzt.

Trying to 'wing it' with engineers doing what designers should be doing is a bad enough when you're just making regular interfaces, but when you're trying to sell a commercial art product, you need people with subject matter expertise. No matter how cool the technology is, and no matter how well it theoretically serves a commercial art customer base, if you're selling art, it's going to be critiqued as such. Hope you've got a thick skin.
I've been using ChatGPT to generate PlantUML diagrams with great success. If the diagram doesn't look right, it means I haven't been able to describe the solution well enough in the prompt.

Jim Keller: Moore's Law is still not dead
Terraform is cloud agnostic the way a fork is food agnostic. It's a tool, if you were thinking the tool abstracted clouds in a "write once deploy everywhere" way (which HashiCorp's marketing has hinted at), you probably shouldn't be using it.
I feel like beginners should not read things like this. Just use the tool as little customised as possible, and be comfortable with it. Then look at making it more comfortable or more capable. If an enthusiast starts you down the customisation path up front, it's surely overwhelming.

When I learned emacs I just learned the tiny handful of motion commands: fwd, back, up down, by character, line, paragraph, code unit; plus opening and saving files -- basically the same power of Atom or Sublime or such. Then because of how emacs works I'd learn a new command from time to time and wonder how I lived without it. Even now 45 years later, I learn a new capability every few weeks, though of course Emacs is a lot more capable than it used to be!

A book like this is great, of course, once you're already comfortable with it.
I'm not really clear what you are showing me here? Nobody argued in court that Amazon was price dumping. It is speculated that the NYT BestSeller deal of $9.99 was maybe in that direction, but nobody really argued that in court. Quite the contrary, it was argued, successfully, that it was perfectly legal for Amazon to offer discounts like this. (Ironically to this debate, they didn't blankly sell all ebooks at 9.99, and no numbers were released to indicate how many were sold at the publisher suggested prices. As a customer at the time, I know I bought many NYT listings that I wouldn't have bought otherwise, thanks in part to that being a very low friction price.)

More, your argument was that sales of physical books were impacted. But, to show that you would have to be able to actually show it. With book sales continuing to climb, that will be hard to say "but it could have been even bigger!" Indeed, most evidence is that the ebooks were additional sells.

That all said, and I quote your article, "In a major rebuke, a federal judge has ruled that Apple violated antitrust laws..." Again, the point I was raising is that antitrust is more than just monopoly laws.

You can try and argue that the case was ruled incorrectly, but Apple was unable to do that with probably some of the best lawyers that you can get. Appeal was struck down and they were guilty of antitrust. Pretty convincingly.
Semantic backtraces should be visible to the system administrator. In a DevOps shop, that's your developer, not your end user. This mentality works for application software the end user is running on their own hardware. Showing backtraces to users external to your system administrator is generally not desirable - you don't want to leak implementation details because they may reveal proprietary intellectual property or they may reveal internal details that can be used to compromise your security. User-facing errors where you're running software in a managed environment are typically carefully managed as explicit carveouts in terms of what information they will reveal.

Also, most users are non-technical. So semantic backtraces that are visible only end up helping a small, more technical subset of your customer base (even if your customer base is developers in my experience). You do want to be able to have a way to link a semantic backtrace to a specific error instance that a customer observed though.
Do you mean the color scheme of the web page itself or the color scheme of the terminal in the screen captures? They're pretty close so maybe the distinction doesn't matter. The former seems more legible than most pages I see posted here since most of them have poor contrast. The latter is approximately what I use in my own terminal, except my text color is closer to that of the text editor screen capture than any of the shell ones for the same reason of contrast. I've pretty poor eyesight in general though so perhaps there's something to that.
Someone asked me what my salary requirements were.

I guess philosophy and religion don't exist, then? Even children left to their own devices will form ideas about right and wrong, without any formal system needed.

The system (AKA government) can only control what is legal and illegal. Law is a religion of the ruling class. Many evil and wrong things have been committed in the name of Law, with consent of rules written by man. Innocents have died due to actions of the system. By that fact alone, it cannot be considered a moral entity, or to have a superior moral view of others, because it gets it wrong sometimes.

I forget the original quote, but it goes something like "One has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws." Laws are formalization of values, and if those values do not align with a healthy and fair society, they have no right to exist or be given credence. No entity is entitled to the domination or subjugation of another, be it government, family, or $DEITY.

I am not knowledgeable about Advaita Vedanta, I'm just repeating some simplified statements from Michael Taft's course on non-duality.

Enlightenment is profound, and unrelated to belief, or non-belief about the existence of the world. Mainstream Buddhism does not deny the existence of the world or individual persons, it states that our conception of the "self" is a mental construct.

From a subjective perspective, everything we experience is mind-constructed, and in that context, there is no difference between self and world; everything we experience is mind. This is the essence of buddhist non-duality.

I would further add that we do not know anything about the existence of the world, only that we perceive the world indirectly based on sensory input, and most of us conclude that the world actually exists. There is a movement in science that calls this fundamental belief into question, you can checkout writings and interviews with Donald Hoffman.

It's probably one of the reasons for why they did it initially (although now they reverted it so viewing individual tweets can be done by guests), but I think it's guaranteed that they wanted to squeeze out more user registrations and create an appearance of growth.

People were being told it would replace massive numbers of workers—upper-middle-class knowledge workers, like us—almost instantly. That implies a very high level of cognition and understanding that anyone who interacted with it without a strong preconceived bias in favor of seeing such things would quickly see does not exist.

No, it's not Eliza, but it's also not Skynet, and it was basically being hyped as Skynet. Not by everyone, and not to everyone, but easily enough that when people see that it's way, way less than the strong AI they were promised, they're going to go away disappointed and decide it's not worth their time at all.

I imagine on most emergencies that fails spectacularly.

There has to be some rule for spotting the inefficacy of the responders. But it's quite hard to make something that works. Even "know about the emergency and how things work around it" tends to fail often. Also, the next "obvious" one of "past performance is damn highly correlated with future performance" is so full of problems that it's completely counterproductive.

I just moved into my semi-custom build. Nothing crazy, economical design (basically a big box), and it came out to ~$190 / sq ft which is crazy cheap, but still at least 25% too high compared to slightly older comps in my area.

This should be our home for at least 15 years though since I have a good track record of remote work, family in the area, and young kids. So hopefully the extra expense won't matter as much in the long run

I don't think building is ever cheaper unless you put years of your own labor into it and you are really good at that kind of stuff
3.5

I don't feel the question should have been difficult for it. I gave it some Rust code, and asked it how I would access certain elements of a variable. The part that made me think it's useless though, was how it was gaslighting me by apologising, acknowledging, and repeating the same answer. At that point I realised that I would have to be so vigilant when using it, that it would be less effort to figure things out myself.
> I'm squinting at it throughout

Same here. I have anecdotally noted that many people, like myself, who were around in the days of actual green screen terminals and later green monochrome monitors are far less likely to prefer dark mode than younger people.

For me, the advent of color screens that made black-on-white text possible was a huge improvement in terms of readability and eye strain reduction, and I cannot imagine going back to the old ways.
>> But negotiation isn't rocket science

Its more like a poker game. The more information you know, the more advantageous your position will be.

When recruiters ask me a range, I typically go 20%-30% above what I'm currently making as the starting point and about 10% below what I'm actually making as the floor. I also always tell the recruiter I'm open to negotiating.

This usually gets a reaction from the recruiter. They either tell me I'm asking too much and will give me the actual range the company is looking for or they say, "Oh that's perfect, its right in the range the company is looking for."

That information on its own will tell you whether its worth it to continue or not in 99% of the situations.
Which is why they don't belong on the road with cars.

It literally killed people, so determining if there's been no criminal negligence should happen in front of a court.

That's what accountability means. If the person in charge did nothing wrong, then the court will tell that. But you can't say “everything went fine, nothing to see here” when people died.
