People replaced church as soon as they possibly could because it seems they don't like being abused by people that like to tell them that skydaddy is sending them to hell.

You're attempting to sell a solution that already failed in the marketplace of ideas, that is church. Because churches were tied so strongly with different clubs, they were dragged down by the same anchor. The problem was we had no other social 'third places' in place, and the greedy hand of capitalism was there to extract as much money from people looking to do something. When the internet rose to power you suddenly had a 'free' (terms and conditions may apply) alternative.

> I feel so aggravated that nearly every single place I visit asks for a tip or 'donation' now.

A lot of this was done by the credit card processors in order to increase their rake.

I don't tip on machines unless I'm in a resaurant (and I probably shouldn't there--either). If I'm going to tip, I give cash because I can't count on any of what I put into the machine getting to the person I intend it to go to.
They're commited to GDScript because it's a great scripting language. I started with Godot expecting to switch to C# pretty fast because I'm already familiar with C#, but I was pleasantly surprised with GDSCript. And I'm a programmer with more than 10 years of experience. For people who are still learning it must feel like the difference between trying to learn to ride a bycicle vs learning to fly a boeing 777.
The book talks about how they serve multiple purposes. They can be used to hinder enemy operations, mask one's own activities, or isolate units to force them into pre-defined roles. Increasing reliance on digital and wireless communications in warfare can thus be viewed as a double-edged sword, offering advantages but also creating new vulnerabilities.
The issue is incremental updates, and this is where things get complex. If you have a file embedded in the middle of a zip file that is 100 bytes, and you want to resize it to 150 bytes, how do you do that?

You can’t squeeze it in without moving everything else about, which disrupts other readers. You could append it to the end maybe, but you need to handle concurrent writers. Compression also is an issue here - I expect zip compression is applied to multiple files at once, rather than per file? So now you might need to update multiple seemingly unrelated files.

You need to step down from the concept of a whole file as a unit and move towards pages of data that can be incrementally updated/reused/freed, where each page might contain one, many or even only a part of a “unit” (file/row/whatever)

This makes things more complex for sure

Wow! Glad you had a look around. Yes, please send me an email whenever you feel like.

And yes, you are going to need some sort of "support graph" and topological sorting. But this is way more complicated than it looks like. Most functions in a spreadsheet don't know it's dependencies until you are actually computing them, like `LOOKUP` or `IF`. Some functions like `RANDBETWEEN` or `NOW` change their value every time. In some modern spreadsheets some functions like `SORT` or `UNIQUE` spill their values to some other cells. Calculating dependencies correctly in all those situations can be challenging.

There is not a lot of literature on spreadsheet implementation and reading code of existing open source implementations is hard. And exception is Peter Sesoft:

https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262526647/spreadsheet-implement...
and
https://www.itu.dk/people/sestoft/funcalc/

My recommendation would be to first set the scope. Then code manually the lexer and parser and drawn those two in tests. Excel formulas can be quite complicated! There are lots of fancy things you can do there like use arena allocators and other optimizations. I would try to avoid that on a first go.

Here is something that I have found extremely convenient. Excel saves the cell formula AND the resulting value. Meaning that to create a test case you just need to create an Excel workbook (and a xlsx parser, of course).

Doing the UI for a spreadsheet is an equally challenging problem.

Good luck!!!!

I think what we’re seeing here is a symptom of the broader and more fundamental problem of trust in society. We’ve gone from a very high trust society to a very low trust society in just a few decades. We, as technology people, keep searching (desperately) for technical solutions to social problems. It’s not working.
I really wish there was a robust way to block channels on YouTube. There is one YouTuber (Simon Whistler) that I check in on a lot--not because I enjoy his content, but because he is a parasite. He did paid voice work for me for years, but then one day I discovered he had started working with a competitor, and together they were systematically poaching my entire catalog of non-fiction content. They started releasing videos covering the same obscure topics with the same details, sometimes even using my original artwork without permission. It's been going on for years now, across multiple channels and hundreds of videos. What he's doing is (mostly) not illegal, but goddamn is it slimy.

I keep an eye on his channels to catalog the egregious poaching, but as a consequence, YouTube thinks I'm his biggest fan, and keeps recommending his videos. I am tired of seeing his smug, parasitic face in my sidebar. What a scumbag.
I am not the person to whom you replied. I understood their comment to be about paradigms shifting through social awareness of the limits and opportunities of new technology.

It can be both true that right now predominantly low quality content emanates from LLMs and at some future time the highest quality material will come from those sources. Or perhaps even right now (the future is already here, just unevenly distributed).

If that was their reasoning, I tend agree. The equivalent of the Catholic Church in this metaphor is the presumption human-generated content's inherent superiority.

Worth noting that spin recovery is highly CG (center of gravity) dependent. Ejecting from an aircraft would significantly alter the CG. It's far more likely that the CG change broke the spin than the pilot was doing something unhelpful.

At first I thought this was about minor changes to formulations that can be granted new patents, a problem which seems to me to be to be outside the FTC's purview. It looks like the problem is more like out and out fraud:

Brand drug manufacturers are responsible for ensuring their patents are properly listed. Yet certain manufacturers have submitted patents for listing in the Orange Book that claim neither the reference listed drug nor a method of using it.

. . . courts have recognized that improperly listing patents in the Orange Book may constitute an “improper means” of competition. Accordingly, improperly listing patents in the Orange Book may also be worthy of enforcement scrutiny from government and private enforcers under a monopolization theory.
You first check who published it. Is the author an expert in the matter with years, perhaps decades in the industry?

Heck, we always did that since before GPT.

Good authors will continue to publish good content because they have a reputation to protect. They might use ChatGPT to increase productivity, but will surely and carefully review it before signing off.

It's all a trade off. We can have more affordable medicine by importing it. This means more people will be able to access it, meaning less bankruptcies, which isn't any good for one's health. Will it be less safe than the ones you can currently get for an exorbitant prices? Marginally, probably. Overall, society can benefit from letting people import their medicine. It will also drive down prices and force big pharma to drop their prices.

Honestly reading the criticisms of GDScript so far is convincing me more and more that Godot is quickly going to become the next big thing, especially if the developers can figure out how to get people to use it for thier first programming project. After all most people I know who got into development started because they wanted to make their own video game.

> community might dislike a performance-friendly change which will break the parity in favour of C#.

The community will dislike a change that will drop GDScript, check the Godot subreddit submission (linked by the article), a ton of comments were pro-GDScript and how easy and fast (development-wise) it is to use.

If that change can happen without affecting GDScript i doubt anyone would have any negative thoughts. There have been a couple of suggestions in the subreddit post on how that could happen and the Godot developers seem to be thinking about it.
It feels like a breath of fresh air to me. Yes, random people, come in and start using Godot, the more eyes are on this project the better. They're articulating gripes I have had but couldn't express. It would be great if, like JS, all the attention became an impetus to make Godot really fast.

GDScript is in a much better place than most scripting languages because the compiler actually has quite a lot of static type information. If they invest in unboxing optimisations and a JIT, it can definitely become competitive with C#.

Is there any write-up on the IETF reaction?
It doesn't need to be sustainable as one author or one book. These aren't real authors. Its people using AI to make a quick buck. By the time the fraud is found out, they've already made a profit.

They make up an authors name. Publish a bunch of books on a subject. Publish a bunch of fake reviews. Dominate the search results for a specific popular search. They get people to buy their book.

Its not even book specific, its been happening with actual products all over amazon for years. People make up a company, sell cheap garbage, and make a profit. But with books, they can now make the cheap garbage look slightly convincing. And the cheap garbage is so cheap to produce in mass amounts that nobody can really sort through and easily figure out "which of these 10k books published today are real and which are made up by ai".

It takes time and money to produce cheap products at a factory. But once these scammers have the AI generation setup, they can just publish books on loop until someone ends up buying one. They might get found out eventually, and they will have to pretend to be a different author, and they just repeat the process.
Not IETF, but NIST, which I suspect is worse. Dual_EC_DRBG was withdrawn when it was discovered to be an attempt by the NSA to sabotage ECC specifications.

No, they could have just described the persons' behavior -- but instead they wanted to include the false nuance that is echoed in the comments here that because someone is homeless it implies and symbolizes their mental state as being broken and their judgement as being faulty.

It's about as true as looking at the ballot returns of any single state and then declaring all people within that state as party affiliates for the elected party -- it's not true but it's useful for painting the people involved into hateful and simplified stereotypes that do nothing but provide bigots with an easy to understand mental model, however false or imprecise it might be.

One thing that can be said for sure : If any of us were homeless traffic victims I doubt that we'd want "they're homeless" as the de-facto explanation as to why a vehicle ran us down -- it's not that easy to explain away.

I am totally with you. The other day I bought shaved iced for my child which took perhaps 1 minute to make. I was already paying $5 for a really tiny cup and then another $1 that showed up as the suggested tip on the card reader.

That $1 didn't mean anything to me until then. It was suddenly a tax I was paying for not being Larry David :)

Please. Would you pay for 5 days of groceries to only get 4 no. They are asking for everything that caused them to go bankrupt on a world that has vastly changes since the taxpayers funded them via bailout. Quit comparing the job of a CEO and a job of a line worker... not even close to the same. I agree the CEO' should be capped on performance bonus to let the runoff trickledown but in the current market the rest of us Americans will buy foreign cars because we can afford to buy at a 60% increase. The country is on the brink already. 20% and 3% on paying benefits when the rest of us pay the national average of 28% isn't going to get any sympathy from me. I do like that the Big 3 offered to bridge the cost tiers but what in good faith bargaining is the UAW doing? Certainly not countering any offer submitted and that's how this stuff works. But then again maybe the Feds missed a few of the corrupt when the purged the UAW 3-4 years ago. Bargaining in good faith does not equal what this bureaucratic UAW is doing. I see lots of automation ahead

That's because they are trying very hard not to check what they are selling, hoping that their own users and a few ML algorithms can separate the signal from the noise for them. It seems to me that the approach is no longer working, and they should start doing it by themselves.

One trick for this is to leverage the branch predictor to guess where the next item will be (I first saw this trick for linked list traversal as in practice linked lists are often laid out linearly). Something like

// or guess based on the size of the current item
let guessed_next_offset = current_offset + (current_offset - previous_offset);
let actual_next_offset = byte_offsets[++i];
previous_offset = current_offset;
current_offset = guessed_next_offset;
if(current_offset != actual_next_offset)
// need to make sure the compiler doesn’t ‘optimise out’ this if and always run the below line
current_offset = actual_next_offset;
// ...

In the ordinary case, where the guessed offset is correct, the cpu predicts the branch is not taken, and no data dependency of ... on actual_next_offset is introduced. If the branch is mispredicted then that speculatively executed work with the wrong current_offset is dropped. This is a bit slow but in the case where this happens all the time, the branch predictor just gives you the slightly bad perf of the traversal with the data dependency (computing the guess will be negligible) except you pay if the guess was actually right.

What you say is not in conflict with AI-generated content being white noise. Even if you find some piece of AI-generated content useful, it is still white noise if it is merely combining pieces of information found in its dataset and the result is posted online or published elsewhere. There is no signal being added in that process, and it pollutes the space of content. Humans are also prone to doing this, but with the help of AI, it becomes a much larger issue.

"Signal" would mean new data, which is by definition not possible via LLMs trained on publicly available content, since that means the data is already out there, or new and meaningful ideas or innovations beyond just combining existing material. I have not seen LLMs accomplish the latter. I consider it at least possible that they are capable of such a feat, but even then the relevant question would be how often they produce such things compared to just rearranging existing content. Is the proportion high enough that unleashing floods of AI-generated content everywhere would not lower the signal-to-noise ratio from the pre-AI situation?

I too found it a bit cumbersome past a certain code size. A lot of games don't necessarily need a lot of raw or complex code to run though, so the 1st class benefits of GDScript start to shine, like the native debugger, autocomplete, Godot-specific accessor syntactic sugar.

Its hard to compete with an almost 25 year old battle-tested language, but given the domain and the team size, its a good product and worth pursuing IMO. With that said, I wouldn't want to give up the ability to have C# interop when I need it, and I imagine many games would need to be rewritten in C# after a certain point.
