So what if you screw them over, which jurisdiction can they turn to? Plus, the tax burden may be that you do more than "your own taxes" but to have an accountant, and probably a company, registered in the relevant country anyway.
If your product doesn’t have any value that can be protected by copyright, patent and you haven’t built any type of affinity with customers, isn’t it by definition just another commoditized product?
Academic papers are often very disconnected from industry reality.

I’ve worked on reliability at a company everyone has heard of for software that billions use daily. So many bugs would have been blocked by having a type system at all (dynamic languages on backend or JS on web) or by having a less bad type system (changing ObjC to Swift and Java to Kt on mobile). Null pointers/references alone have created so many bugs for us. Bugs that could have been compiler errors.
> than an Airbnb “host” in a city with a housing crisis.

It's not like he is buying up properties specifically to rent out on AirBnB.

He's renting out his guest house, which is attached to his main house, and he's owned it since 1990.
Presumably this tenant who is staying for a year would be staying elsewhere in the city if they couldn't stay at the Airbnb. How is it adding to the housing crisis?

wow, computers writing essays that cannot be distinguished from human written essays and the ramifications of this have been going on for… ever. i dont know how to say it nicely… youre just blatantly wrong.
He was renting out part of his property so it can be used by people other than himself. This helps address the housing issue. Why would anyone risk that now?
You don't believe me? That's an extremely weird reaction, he's on public record with this kind of behaviour, just look at most of the comments in this very thread of people saying the same thing.

Lol this is good stuff. This perfectly illustrates how stupid it is to ever write headlines that includes phrases such as

Conspiracy, empirically, seems to be the default order of things. Very regularly we discover evidence for new conspiracies committed in the past that we previously did not know about. If powerful people _can_ meet in secret and agree on self-serving courses of action, then they _will_. Did powerful entities all of a sudden decide that they should play fair at some arbitrary point in the last couple of decades? Unlikely. Especially not considering that more and more power has been consolidated in a smaller portion of the population since then. And like with cockroaches, if you see one, you can be assured there’s hundreds you aren’t seeing.

The concept of innocent until proven guilty exists to balance the scales in the direction of the less powerful, applying the same standard to governments and other large organizations is ridiculous and only serves to make conspiracies easier to execute.

If he changed the locks, the police would force him to let her back in and he'd be in court for an illegal lockout, which wouldn't help his overall case.

If he turned off the water, she would report the issue to the city and they'd force him to turn it back on, and he would likely face a fine.

His only option is to fight it out in a court that is heavily tilted in favor of tenants, and she (his "tenant") knows it.

By this very logic you should deny global warming. 1) no human-made global catastrophe ever happened before (no evidence) and 2) it's an outrageous claim with severe implications to the economy, social life, etc - so, why bother?
Yes, but it's just one of a multitude of ways someone could cheat at work, including lying flat out about holding degrees (which in most cases isn't even illegal), or simply faking their effort in the job, and not really doing it.

If people are going to cheat themselves out of an education, and then cheat at a job... ultimately they will be 'found out' for not doing their job properly. Unless there is absolutely no objective way to evaluate, measure, or observe job performance, in which case the job is probably nonsense anyway and cheating doesn't matter.
I emphasize with the student here, but passing it through an ai detector yourself before submitting and keeping a version history seems like an easy way to combat any false claims.

Also they are the 'weeder' classes as the staff put it to me. Basically everyone wants to go to college. Many can get in. But not everyone is cut out for it. Those classes are usually decently challenging but mostly lectures. They cut out the people who should not be there or are not ready for it. They are also decently big because almost all of the curriculum paths require these core classes. Your second year will be 20-30 people. By the time you are in your 4th year most classes are 10-15 people usually mixed graduate/undergraduate people.
I don't get the point the author is trying to make:

* The article starts off by arguing that Gantt charts are for factories not for information work; therefore, software providing "bygone ways" of project management (such as Gantt charts) is bad.

* Then it criticizes that software that masters multiple project management methodologies is also bad because SaaS companies are trying to make money by adding features.

* Then, we find that the issue is that project management software is a simplistic UI in front of a relational database. They don't work because project management is not a problem that can be put into databases.

* Then the problem is that the smartphone generation will
never understand relational databases because they are used to smooth UIs, and the problem is that there is no undo button.

* Next, the problem is that we aren't all thinking like managers, so PM methodologies... don't apply at all to us?

* However the supporting example instead says that the problem is that we aren't all thinking like developers, and developers dogfooding their PM software is not necessarily a great selling point for everyone else (this is a take I find somewhat convincing).

* Finally, the issue is poor planning, and no software will
ever solve it.

Maybe I am not commenting on the "most charitable reading" of this article, but it leaves me confused. The author is echoing a broadly-felt frustration with the world of PM tools. They further various criticisms of PM tools, but it feels like they struggle to find what their own criticism actually is.
>while in most countries you can't properly publish a book without an ISBN (ie, have it sold in bookshops)

I'm quite skeptical of this, given the amount of books I've personally seen published in recent decades without ISBNs, along with the limited & haphazard attempts to regulate what it means to 'publish' something or even to be a 'proper' bookseller. But if you have some experience I don't with this, I'm interested in hearing about it.
Yes Ukraine was referenced. I get it, writing off a war as a conspiracy means you don't have to acknowledge what is happening, which allows pro-Russian individuals to not have to critically think about why their support the aggressor in a genocidal war.

It's dishonest, alongside being immoral.

I question this "false sense of security" point. In my experience, people who prefer as much static analysis as possible, mostly based on types, are also more likely to be thinking about invariants and error cases more generally. I would go further to say that anyone who has really adopted a thinking-about-invariants-and-error-cases style of programming has almost certainly become frustrated with the amount of repetitive validation code required to accomplish that in projects with no static analysis of types.
The effect of caching on Windows can be quite pronounced if you process large datasets on a machine with a large amount of RAM.

If, say, you have 256GB RAM and a 100GB folder of ~1GB files, you will only ever have a few GB used actively. A first pass of processing over the folder will take a long time (reading from disk). Subsequent passes will be much faster, though, because reading is done from the RAM-cached versions of the files (the output from the previous run, was my understanding).
No. It would likely be 4 lines in a 'utils' folder/file.

I was on the opposite side reading the github comments, notably because of my recent usage of python base64 but your (and GP) comments make a lot of sense, i wasn't using logic but habits. Thanks.

Do you want to compete with someone for a job that cheated to get an education and got the job over you? By allowing this to continue, it will just add to the further decline of society.

Screw them over how? If they don't like my work, they can fire me on the spot and just stop paying my invoices. If I do something very shady, they can sue me in the jurisdiction of the contract (I'm happy if it happens to be their country).

> Plus, the tax burden may be that you do more than "your own taxes" but to have an accountant, and probably a company, registered in the relevant country anyway.

How does that work? IIRC as a company, you can pay any company or contractor you want (excluding tax havens), and generally it is the contractor's responsibility to pay taxes, unless some physical goods are shipped. (Emphasis on generally, I haven't researched every country's tax laws, but it should work for US and EU.)
If the 6s works fine otherwise for the application and the carbon footprint of manufacturing its replacement is higher, sure it's worth it.

Mechanochemistry seems like the interesting point here. In a lab, almost all experiments involve choosing a solvent (Polar vs Non Polar, acidic or basic, etc). Doing reactions in a mill is definitely a niche I have not seen as much.

Google/Apple management could make this happen. All they have to do is have a big bin of phones outside the weekly team all-hands meeting. Everyone must throw their phone in before the meeting. At the end, everyone takes a random phone, resets it, and logs in.

While engineers refuse to do that, the process is still too cumbersome.

> I don't think a "strong" vs "weak" type system argument is particularly valuable here, yes most prevent you from inadvertently changing how a particular series of bytes is interpreted [...]

I think that interpretation of the "strong" vs "weak" scale is a valuable one within the context of the blog post. The post is at least partially about how type systems can help the programmer by making them aware of certain kinds of errors (it is also about when: static vs dynamic).

My understanding of the terms covariance and contravariance are a bit shaky. Could you provide an example in another language that you think cannot be expressed using the provided utilities of most Lisp's?

You also mentioned that you don't think most Lisp's have "expressive" type systems. What do you mean by that? When I think of a type system as being expressive, I think of it as having explicit rather than implicit types, which is unrelated to the issue of strongly vs weakly typed and static vs dynamic types. Do you mean more like how you can describe / constrain the relationships between types in certain strongly typed languages?
This is the answer... it is a matter of principle, and is worth a fight, on principle. If they can do it to you, they will do it to somebody else that might not have the ability to stop them that you do.
given there are people on the street who are actually homeless and didn't have the opportunity to buy tons of land in the 90's before the housing crisis exploded and continues to get exponentially worse.

And this is the individual homeowner's problem to solve because...? Sounds like a local government problem. Regardless, just because the victim is wealthy doesn't mean you're not victim-blaming.
This argument seems sound.

Amazon is not a neutral entity or a public space. It's a private platform with its own interests that are very often in conflict with sellers.

There is this weird cultural expectation of platforms and platform-like applications (social media, multiplayer video games, online stores, proprietary libraries/engines, even entertainment media "universes" and franchises etc.). Participants and consumers seem to think that these platforms are somehow public spaces that they partially own, or at least they act that way.

But you only own what you actually own.

There are legal instruments and structures that actually let you partially own things and/or grant you rights so you can act on these kinds of expectations: coops, open source and other such licenses etc.

When internet culture and commerce wants to mature, then maybe we should start focusing more on building on _legally_ trustworthy foundations.

Looking at random people's code online is like staring into the abyss. I sometimes see APL code and find myself running in circles and screaming for a bit before I regain my composure, but I don't think that's reason enough for me to complain about APL's design.

The initial release of XP for Itanium was more or less a stripped down XP build with limited 64 bit support. They then quickly gave up on that approach and released a second version of Windows XP for Itanium, together with the launch of Itanium 2 support, which was, as you said, a rebranded Server 2003.

It's the Chinese Room argument all over again. People hear "predicting the next token" and all they can imagine is some sort of a statistical database lookup, ignoring the fact that when you have a huge corpus of data with incredibly complex internal correlations and all that data also happens to correlate with some unknown external thing, it's almost certain that a powerful learner will end up modeling that external thing if and when doing so will cause a quantum leap in prediction performance! A model that includes the external-thing hypothesis will almost certainly be simpler, ceteris paribus, than a model that doesn't.

There are enough zero-day RCE exploits on both Android and iOS devices at this point that, if you're running phones that are that far out of date from security updates, you should basically just assume your device is fully compromised.

As stated above, many of the RCE exploits don't even involve any user interaction, so it's not like you can argue "well, I don't visit sketchy websites so I'm fine".
Every company has the right to set the terms and fees to use them. A “tax” is something you are mandated to pay. I get plenty of crap advertised to me on FB that you can’t find on Amazon.

One thing that is clouding this discussion is that most people are mixing up a lot of different characteristics that animals like humans have as if they were all the same thing.

So for many people they don't really distinguish between things like "reasoning", "self-aware", "conscious", "alive", "sentient", "intelligent", "has world model". They also don't distinguish between different types or varying levels of cognitive abilities.

It seems clear that high functioning LLMs must have some type of world model. But that doesn't mean it's necessarily exactly the same type of highly grounded model that a human would have, especially if it was trained on only text. It might be less rich or different but still quite useful.

Another example, LLMs clearly don't have the same type of fast adaptation in a realtime 3d environment that animals have. (That's not to say that they can't mimic it in some rough ways).

But if you don't really break all of this stuff down carefully in your head then it can be hard to accept that LLMs are doing anything interesting. Because in that worldview, it's all the same thing, so they have to give the LLM all of the other characteristics at the same time.

The joke about the pinewood derby was that you could always tell the one kid who actually built his own car (which was the whole point, after all). Because every other car had been carefully engineered, carved, machined, sanded, painted, lacquered, and weighted by a dad.

Sounds like you had the honor of being in the only scout troupe that at least tried to keep this kind of thing from happening. And your singular false positive seems to have somehow projected itself onto the world.

Well, maybe, but "simply don't pay rent" clearly isn't any solution to any housing crisis. Not every landlord is actually rich for starters, and "you're rich enough, so who cares people commit crimes against you?" is not something I'm hugely comfterable with, to put it mildly.

I woke up one day thinking I had that problem with my Pixel 3. Literally all the things described were going on and I was about to throw in the towel and rage post to reddit, but then I had a brief showerthought that maybe the battery was bad and the charging firmware was being retarded. Pixel 3 had this habit of autobooting when charging from dead when it thinks the battery has made it far enough to survive boot... it boots into this "battery charging" mode and then it will boot up when that's gotten far enough. But when its wrong (because the battery is dying) it never has enough power to make it past some initialization stage. Ultimately I "fixed" it by draining the battery completely (until the phone would not respond to anything) and then plugging it in to charge and watching it like a hawk to jump in and long-press power to force shutdown immediately when it tried to boot to keep it in powered-off charging (not the mini-boot it does where it shows you battery charge). It happened a second time and after rescuing it again, I replaced the battery and all was good.
Ah, agreed. And if you take the worst possible interpretation of my post I can see how you get there.

My point was that many rules get enforced on a cost benefit based system. Especially in business where enforcement is necessarily an expensive undertaking. Ideally, part of enforcement will include evolution of the rules so that people don't grow into a situation where what they are doing is suddenly illegal. That said, many of the rules we are looking at here are more along the lines of "you left interstate driving and are now in a city." That is, the landscape and situation pretty much has to factor into the rules. Is why you would be an asshole for worrying about the kid's lemonade stand down the corner. Any grandstanding on how the rules apply universally is... well, just not useful.
Do you have some examples of that code that isn't all that old but will fail to compile on the latest rustc?
