As we know it, perhaps. However, many seminal works of fantasy predate del Rey's own influence (e.g. The Lord of the Rings, Conan, Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser.) Credit where credit is due, the Ballantine books are what made Tolkien explode in popularity here in the U.S.
> if you want to own the means of production that happens to be a viable livelihood

If the means of production is now a livelihood, I have to say that this is a great example of how "means of production" is an insufficiently-precise phrase. It means all things to all people.

Marx seeing his mate's factory and thinking "it'd be nice if the workers owned that" and coming up with a generic-sounding equivalent phrase isn't really good enough to define a real concept.

Which is why people who use the phrase "means of production" seem to all mean different things. Owning a hammer is owning the means of production. It's just the means of production isn't enough.
Precisely the reason people obfuscate direct connections is so people like you believe this about their products.

Yes it does but the amount of bytes the author speaks about regards the amount of characters used for storing the program. That's why he uses the : and removes the spaces.
Please read the whole sentence. It starts with: If React is “Just JavaScript, then...” React users often say that "It's just JavaScript" but then they write:

If you're learning to code now, using an LLM, who's to say that the LLMs won't improve faster than you do?

People learning programming are down in the sea, trying to climb up out of it.

Years ago taxi drivers actually needed to know their way around their local area. Then we got GPS and mapping apps, meaning Uber could exist and any random dude could be a taxi driver instantly. In future* the drivers will be unnecessary and the cars will be the drivers too. [*timeline 5-50 years]

> For me, I still wear N-95s on planes and in crowded places, I understand their effectiveness and it fits my risk/reward profile.

Likewise, however I should also add that in my case there's no risk component — not only because I get free FFP2 masks at my workplace, but also because it appears that one of the many ways that I'm unusual is that masks (and I mean this literally) cause me less issues than does my underwear.

Even if I wear a mask for a 31 km walk, it's the socks and underpants that pinch or restrict first, not the mask.
> Why not reduce speed to 10km/h then? Even fewer people will be killed!

It depends on how the street is used. There are places where maximum speed is 10 km/h. I grew up in the street like that: a "woonerf", a residential area where the street is explicitly meant for playing children, and cars have to go at pedestrian speeds of 5 or 10 km/h. The goal these is to not lock up kids in their homes, but encourage them to play outside, which is great. These were fairly new but popular in the 1980s and late 1970s, but not so common anymore, sadly.

30 km/h is roughly the speed bicycle of bicycles and similar vehicles. Not suitable for playing kids, but more suitable for mixed through traffic. Driving through an entire city at 10 km/h would be as tedious as walking that entire distance, but 30 km/h is very doable.
Yeah I guess what I mean is that it seems to go against the rest of their brand, the magazine usually covers slightly more underground dance music it seems - not super underground, still big names, but not stadium EDM stuff.

Maybe their philosophy is that the Top 100 should be an open thing and they shouldn't restrict who can enter based on music style... to me, it makes DJ Mag way less credible, but I guess they probably make money out of the Top 100 being so big.

Community notes started in 2021, as a pilot called birdwatch who was basically the same thing and was already open source and decentralized[1] and it was slowly being expanded in scope, the fact that the expansion culminated roughly at the same time as Musk taking over is essentially a coincidence.

You're right, and I like the joke, but we should be clar that LLM != GPT != ChatGPT.

There's a whole field emerging of prompt engineers, but I think what's desperately missing is good quality integrated UX engineering.

Being able to write a comment and/or a method signature and having an LLM spit out a generated piece of code is kinda cool, but the interface for showing that the code is buggy needs refining. I think that's likely to be quickly showing a test case: given these inputs I'm expecting this output. LLM refactors against all tests, and you iterate together towards the correct solution.

That's one small example of how we can start to think about the future UX that isn't about having a "chat" about your code.

Similar UX thought is needed in other disciplines, it'll be interesting to see how this domain evolves.

There was.

> In reality, it only took 2 months for Netscape to publish source code. It took another four years for them to decide to scrap the old code and undertake a rewrite that culminated in the release a 1.0 of a different product line which the author refers to here.

Arguably true but, I submit, tangential to the actual point. The decision to O/S it being the same time as the Netscape 5 rewrite was a deeply stupid idea, but also understandable.

However, it was some 25 years ago now, so I didn't and don't think it merits more than a single-line passing mention and was not -- and is not -- worth this level of hair-splitting.

Seeing some talk about "built in Japan": This is a huge psychological factor in the hearts and minds of Japanese people. AFAICT, pride is a main constituent. There is a strong desire for Japanese to have accomplishments to be proud of to the world, to stand out on a crowded world stage.

Another is this phrase particularly signals to other Japanese: Hey, choose this software, because it was made by our kind (pride), and its operation might mesh better with your cognitive patterns. oh, and the Japanese localization is bound to be 1st class (a small rarity).

One more: Japanese like to judge things after getting the thing into their hands and evaluating it (物で判断する), and word-of-mouth is mighty powerful in Japan. So "built in Japan" means it's pre-vetted by Japanese, and that is in turn a powerful seal of quality. Oh, and if there are some flaws, we can overlook them knowing that someone will eventually get round to dealing with them. It's a civil and respectful community-minded approach that mirrors Japanese culture in the large.

If you are so inclined, there is a whole multi-faceted Made in Japan movement.

Outside of the context of Japan or being of a Japanese mind, the value of this statement depends greatly on the context. For medicine, semiconductors, industrial equipment? Made in Japan is often a solid choice. For software? Japan is an advanced nation, plenty of highly-skilled knowledge workers, and has a very long history with software development; this software is probably competently done. On the other hand, it might mean the software is designed a little .. mysterious .. to non-Japanese eyes due to those aforementioned cognitive patterns but also a differing cultural context. For example using the color blue to signify "build successful" in Jenkins instead of green.

What I think you might be missing is that Venus could be a pet project of a single person, done in their free time over some period.

The statues, especially in the context of the greater site, could not be made by one person — many people should be working there for quite a long period of time, while physically staying in the place. Since they were working on the temple complex, (a) they could not be themselves participating in hunter-gathering activities (and we think human societies were engaged with that at the time); and (b) someone else should be providing them with the food, clothes, tools, and everything they need — implying there was some sort of a social structure (aka civilization).

This is what I think GP meant when saying "not supposed to be possible 12,000 years ago".

So, first of all, realistically most cars in cities are operating at these sorts of speeds for _most_ of the time, anyway. This won't make a huge difference to _average_ speed. But also, this feels like optimising for the past, frankly. Over 50% of cars sold in the EU last year were either electric, or some sort of hybrid (hybrids generally are about as efficient at 30km/h as 50km/h). Netherlands seems to be further along this curve; 45% of cars sold last year were electric or plugin hybrid (stats seem hard to come by for light hybrids), up from 30% the previous year.
