The base, regular Wayfarers were cannibalized and cheapened out by Luxottica a long time ago. I'm fortunate enough to have a vintage pair from the mid-1980's that still look brand new. They have higher quality zyl frames, polarized glass Bausch & Lomb lenses, and, crucially, five barrel bolted hinges. They're built like a tank.

The new ones are so cheap I won't even wear them. Cheap plastic, plastic lenses, spring hinges that break quickly, and obnoxious branding on both the temples and the lenses. Terrible.
NEOM seems to be an ecological disaster. "The Line", its major residential component, is a city that is 100 km x 200m. A block of concrete and glass placed right in the middle of the dessert. Its going to completely disrupt migratory patterns and ecosystems in a much larger area than a normal circular/square city.

>I'm almost certain that I can give you components and instructions on how to build a nuclear bomb and the most likely thing that would happen is you'd die of radiation poisoning.

An LLM doesn't just provide instructions -- you can ask it for clarification as you're working. (E.g. "I'm on step 4 and I ran into problem X, what should I do?")

This isn't black and white. Perhaps given a Wikihow-type article on how to build a bomb, 10% succeed and 90% die of radiation poisoning. And with the help of an LLM, 20% succeed and 80% die of radiation poisoning. Thus the success rate has increased by a factor of 2.

We're very lucky that terrorists are not typically the brightest bulbs in the box. LLMs could change that.

There’s no practical way for a defense lawyer to find out what the error rate is for, say, a state lab.

> Mortgages are not assumable. Nor are they portable. And they're locked in for 30 years. I don't know of any other country that has this combination of factors. That just leaves people feeling trapped and unable to move whenever rates go up.

It's true that people with a 3% mortgage do not want to move now if they don't absolutely have to and this is impacting supply. however...

> This is a policy decision that Congress and the President actively make to not free up mortgages and make them all assumable and portable.

I don't think they have the power to do this (and I'm not sure I want them to have that kind of power). You want the President and/or congress to tear up all existing mortgage agreements? That's a massive amount of power you want to hand over to the government.Maybe they could mandate that mortgages going forward be assumable with some legislation, but it would take a while for that to have an effect.

> I don't know of any other country that has this combination of factors.

As I understand it, in a lot of other countries (like the UK) mortgages are essentially ARMs - the rates adjust with prevailing interest rates.

> Imagine if you could take a picture of anything, add a little note, have it filed away.

This is more or less what Vanevar Bush imagined in his 1945 article “As We May Think”, which many consider the origin of hypertext [1].

“On a pair of ordinary glasses is a square of fine lines near the top of one lens, where it is out of the way of ordinary vision. When an object appears in that square, it is lined up for its picture. As the scientist of the future moves about the laboratory or the field, every time he looks at something worthy of the record, he trips the shutter and in it goes, without even an audible click.
…

And there is provision for direct entry. On the top of the memex is a transparent platen. On this are placed longhand notes, photographs, memoranda, all sorts of things. When one is in place, the depression of a lever causes it to be photographed onto the next blank space in a section of the memex film…”

> Failing quietly was never a part of it.

Not part of it, but not against it. It's useful to stay quiet when the program is meant for conditions and failure is normal. For example: `test`/`[`, `false`, `grep` (when no matches are found), etc. Also when the program is meant as a sort of wrapper to other programs, like `ssh localhost false`, `script -qec false /dev/null`, `true | xargs false`, etc.

> A message like "incorrect arguments, use --help" can itself go to stderr. Not --help itself though.

I don't agree that it's incorrect to save the user the step of calling --help, when it's obvious they need to see that info from an incorrect call. Once decided that including the --help message in an error is right, I don't think it's correct to include it in stdout when it's not expected.

This isn't an odd behavior either, including the --help message (or at least just the synopsis) in stderr on incorrect options is the behavior I'm seeing in utilities like GNU's `bash`, `grep`, and OpenBSD's `netcat`, for example.
I think they've nailed the vibe
> Interestingly, hacking seconds have become so ubiquitous, that some watches will advertise the "lack" of hacking seconds.

> I.e. in the Rolex GMT, when you adjust the hour hand independently of the seconds hand, the seconds hand continues moving (non-hacking)

Rolexes have a hacking mechanism, but it's usually only activated when you pull the crown out to the furthest/third stop, which is where you set minutes. The changing of the hour for timezones generally happens in full-hour increments (with exceptions, e.g., Newfoundland).

The original Rolex GMTs did not have hacking, but it was added later; 1971, AFAICT:

In the example in your post, the queue is abstracted away in some sense, but you aren't just "writing code". There's step.run(), step.sleep(), step.sleepUntil() sprinkled throughout. I'd say in something like Celery, which is explicitly about running jobs asynchronously backed by a message broker/queue, you really do just write code, but then call the function with .s().apply_async() and so on. Now, I'm not saying you're wrong that we ought to abstract queues away, just pointing out that the abstraction leaks in your workflow example. Happy to hear where/how I'm wrong on this.

Exactly. I think Apple is doing something fundamentally different by emphasizing AR so much that they built the hardware around it with ultra-high resolution screen and no controllers.

If something can enable that next step, I think that may be it.

But I really question if that will ever pass being a niche product. VR may just never have a popular use besides some gaming. I’m not sure AR in a headset has a big future either. Some specialty applications sure. But common?
Luddites was the precursor to the labor movement, I never dispute this.

It's the attempt made to label someone as "liberal" because they didn't know that Luddites was/is used as a pejorative, to someone who clearly has not stated they identify as such.

Which is just absurd, like labeling someone as a supporter of imperialism because they didn't know that royal means "of having the status of a king or queen or a member of their family".

Not only that but to then also indirectly insinuating this is because they are essentially too sheltered/spoiled to understand the value of goods.

Specifically:

>I understand your point of view if you're from a first-world country and you never experienced the terror of having people interfering with the means of production.

Despite the original poster never stated something that would highlight such a point of view, beyond admitting not knowing the definition/use of a word.

As many other comments mention, that's not really a fair summary of the McDonald's case. If this were to happen today, you'd go to the hospital who would bill your health insurance. Your health insurance would then ask how you got burned, and would probably sue McDonald's for the medical costs.

Again, as the other comments mention, it's common to have insurance against accidents that prevent you from doing your job. I don't recall having this at startups, but I might not have been paying attention. At big companies, there are short term and long term disability insurance. Depending on what field you're in, you could probably do an office job with one arm. Chording one-hand keyboard, probably up to 85% pre-accident productivity. Things that should keep you up at night are things like "what if I hit my head on a doorway and my brain is damaged to the point that I can't do my office job anymore". While unlikely, having insurance for that is great.

Finally, people can have personal liability insurance (and probably do through their renters or homeowners policies) to cover inadvertently causing financial losses to other people. Say someone comes into your house and your bookshelf falls over on them. It's kind of your fault, so you have insurance for that.
Nice. I was reading the comments because I knew someone would explain the purpose of it. I have both hacking and non-hacking watches. I know what they do, but I never knew why it was something people would even care about.

I think this argument doesn't work if the model is open source though.

First, it's unclear how all these defensive measures are supposed to help if a bad actor is using an LLM for evil on their personal machine. How do reflection types or watch lists help in that scenario?

Second, if the model is open source, a bad actor could use it for evil before good actors are able to devise, implement, and stress-test all the defensive measures you describe.

You'd be surprised at how many failures an aircraft is allowed to fly with, and, more than likely, unless you've flown on a brand new aircraft, you've flown exclusively on aircraft that had a dozen or more things that are wrong with them that need to be repaired.
