I find it interesting that over the past decade so much investment has gone into making no code tools, and now ChatGPT is so good at writing code that it’s probably faster, more flexible and approaching the same level of usability for technically minded but non coding type folks.

I recently had to create a demo app to consume and publish a REST service using Mendix and it took a couple of days to figure out all the details, but doing the same thing in any language (bash for example) using ChatGPT would have taken minutes.

Deployment and version control can be solved without much technical prowess using PaaS/IaaS, especially if you’re comparing your costs with enterprise no code platforms.

It may be my personal bias talking (I’ve always disliked no code platforms because they feel more cumbersome when you have to do anything serious, I dislike ActiveRecord ORMs for similar reasons) but it kind of seems like No Code will be obsolete pretty soon.

Who wants to drag and drop when you can just ask, copy and paste?
Ehh, I disagree. OP is incorrect in that WeWork owns little of their own real estate, but from what we can tell they were leased at fair market rates from their actual owners (some of whom are Adam Neumann himself, which is... bad).

The only parties that really got fleeced here were Softbank and their totally unclothed VC siblings who bought Neumann's messianic complex like rubes. Building owners by and large seem to have been treated fairly?

I would argue the gig economy has been worse, since those who got fleeced were largely working people being squeezed and having massive externalities and liabilities dumped onto them.
> 1) Are markets correct, and there isn't really any risk of WWWIII right now? Is it all unwarranted fear and hype?

This should be compared to more recent events (since markets change, trade changes, and with current markets, with stock ownership lasting milliseconds, things are drastically different).

How did markets act before the 2008 crisis? Did they predict it (in hindsight at last), or was it "great" until "whoops" and "taxpayers help"?
https://lynx.invisible-island.net/current/CHANGES.html seems to show it still getting updates; can you point to these known attacks that aren't getting fixed?
Sure, but then the logical step is to compensate for the realtors time as opposed to some national average.
it asks an interesting question, what is the labor market going to be? Not like you have a lot of choices where and who to work for at Marsville, MARS.
My town solved the guilty until proven innocent issue regarding permits by just giving people carte blanche. Imo this is far more rational: if the county can't/won't verify paperwork they should default towards freedom and let the property owner have at it rather than presuming guilt and saying you haven't the money/people to check it.

Granted people aren't rich where I live so we'd rather them live in potentially a subpar house and maybe have it fall in on them than be homeless and die from the elements.

Re below: USA / Arizona. Pick the right county and no code inspections.
I wonder if this is behind a failed Sonoma upgrade I saw on eBay today; Mac Mini M2 Pro sold as-is for a very decent price, about $300-$400 off despite from this year. :) Seller didn't know what was wrong with the Mac, only that it happened during Sonoma upgrade and this sounds mighty suspicious for such a new machine if it's widespread.

It was inherited from the common ancestor that it shares with Ruby, up to the accident at the secret Nuclear Research facility which divided it the two, giving Ruby all of the sweetness, optimism and light, while Rust took the bitterness and dark gloom. RUby, RUst, yeah? That's why you never see them in the same room.
Agreed with you on this. I have never yet seen a sunrise that was worth the effort. But a good night sky is incredible.

My best was at about 3500m in Peru, in the wee hours after fleeing my tent to be sick. Absolutely mind blowing to see the whole milky way like that.
To be honest, I thought this had already happened. Maybe I'm just an idiot, considering I'd thought that had happened, and yet worked from a WeWork a couple months ago.
I think a prediction market would suffer from the same problem as regular markets: if everyone dies in a fiery nuclear conflagration, nobody's going to collect on either side.

By definition, a prediction market doesn't work if one side is betting on the prediction market ceasing to exist.
won't all evidence of their investment either have been vaporised or wiped by emp?
In the U.S., at least, I've never known a seller's agent to do that (having done a good number of real estate transactions). In fact, in my experience I find it to be the exact opposite. Seller's agents are incentivized to not work with buyer's agents, if the situation arises where they're approached directly by a buyer.

If the seller's agent is comfortable acting as the intermediary, and recognizing the limits of conflict of interest, then it's in their best interest to keep all of the 6% commission instead of giving half of it to the buyer's agent.

Wasn't the impression I had the last time I tried to fix a bug in an eclipse plugin that touched on the OSGi parts. The codebase felt like a ghost town and I couldn't find any documentation for how it all worked or anyone who knew about it.

I actually agree with a lot of what they said here but the last half or so of the blog post was incredibly hard to follow. The gray blocks were what he was refuting/replying to? The X/check emojis meant he agreed or disagreed I guess? It made me think that emoji applied to the paragraph it was part of, as in "I agree with this ->" or "I disagree with this ->" when I think it meant I agree/disagree with the gray block _above_. It was hard to keep reading and so I stopped

> Now the big one, reusing code is by far easier in a monolith.

> Consider the scenario for patching an error in a library that is used in all your single-purpose functions:

> You have to publish shared code into packages that need to be used by all of your routes
> You would have to context switch, make the change in the library, merge, publish the package
> Then context switch again and update the version in each of your 100’s of routes to use the new version

I don't use a monolith mainly due to size. I had enough problems packaging all my functions in 1 archive and hitting size limits that I can't imagine a monolith would do anything but lock me into that issue with no solution other than splitting it up into smaller services. Currently I package all my functions individually so they only contain the code/deps that that specific function needs. This works very well and keeps my function sizes small (except for the Prisma engine, stay away from this if you can). Also I have shared code that multiple function use (wrapping code for catching errors, DB access, various other reusable services), it all works just fine and I don't package/publish my shared code, my packaging grabs what each function needs and includes it.

Everything else he says, especially about getter /more/ warm starts and being able to really take advantage of PC is true, but the size issue steered me away from a monolith. If size wasn't a problem I'd probably be running express in my lambda but instead I have a 1 function per endpoint and that seems to work pretty well for my company.
Exception Level 2 [1] They're analogous to "protection rings" on x86. Generally, EL0 is usermode, EL1 is kernel mode, EL2 is hypervisor, and EL3 is the "secure monitor"/firmware code, closest analogy I think would be SMM on x86. On top of all of that there's also trustzone with its own EL0 and EL1.

They are fixing the fixable issues, but the on-disk format still makes some gotchas inevitable. It sounds like there's never going to be a great solution to live rebuilding of redundancy.
The author actually discusses exactly that point at the very bottom of the article but apparently, in their frenzied, dopamine seeking rush to post uninformed kneejerk reactions, many here did not bother to read that far. And that's despite the article being rather short.

In the aftermath of WWII and the Korean War, the US invested significantly in rebuilding + supporting most of the rapidly industrialized countries that you've named.

Western Europe, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, all received extensive economic development support from the US from 1940's-1970's, which helped a lot with that rapid industrialization.
I have a personal WeWork subscription and love every bit of it. I travel a lot and can use any of the WeWork locations to get my work done. Far better than any cafe I would ever be able to find (obviously)

That's fine that they want to. The question is whether copyright law gives them that and that's very unlikely.

RAID1 in Btrfs is not entirely fine. It won't nuke your data and there is no write-hole issue, but if a disk fails you'll have to go into a read-only mode during the rebuild and deal with various hurdles in getting it rebuilt.
In case of a major total war, any participant in the conflict would very likely quickly switch to a war economy, in practice a centrally planned economy.

I'm sure there would still be ample opportunity for profiteering before the nuclear holocaust for the dedicated individual, but personally the return of investment would be the last of my worries.
I can only imagine that the bespoke database with custom GUI thing represents Windows Installer (given the reference to resharper). In that case, the clock swung backwards to using XML config to generate the database.
> It basically means politicians can't have any genuine conversation with constituents on social media because it'll be drowning in trolls. Which I guess is fine, but it seems less than the ideal outcome.

The politician should mirror the post on a website the politician controls with no comments allowed or simply post on such a website in the first place. The politician can then post a link to the relevant page of the politician's website to the politician's social media accounts and proceed to ignore the comments on the social media site. If the politician is a government official, this is still perfectly compatible with the First Amendment, because the official has the First Amendment freedom of association and therefore can refuse to host comments on the politician's announcements on the politician's own websites.
And like I have been saying the argument is foolish. You posted something on the internet. That makes it public. It doesn't matter if you thought it was private. Generative AI companies in the US, afaik, do not have any legal responsibility to remove that training data.

There's no difference between an AI being trained on public data, or a human being trained on public data. Likewise there should be no expectation to "unsee" something someone willingly posted in public.

It is? OK, tell them to completely clear the model of any angry bird original and clone code, data and assets that it scarfed from the Internet.

It can retain scarfed definitions of angry and bird as well as scarfed information on making a 2D video game.

Then tell the model to create the game and see what if anything it comes up with.

All of those things seem to be pretty simple and worth barely of fraction of $2000 per hour (if they actually only spend 8 hours in total? I mean at that point it might make sense to spend 40-80 hours to do the same things yourself instead depending on your income).

No, there is no such thing in "Scandinavian" countries about reporting labor when doing DIY home improvements. You can deduct the material, or bought labor, when selling the house. But no your own labor, unless you run a company and hire yourself. That might work, but then you have to spend taxes in your company for that income.

Clarification: This is in Sweden, a Scandinavian country.

Edit #2: If you have a specific country in mind, please mention that instead. Makes it easier to refute.
I guess it's at least in part caused by the fact the article is behind a paywall and people read the title only.

> Because in an actual nuclear war, financial markets cease to mean anything at all.

I think this is a false dichotomy. Both US and Russia/Soviet Union believe (or at minimum believed at some points) that a limited nuclear war is possible without triggering all-out exchange. In such a scenario, the markets would crash, but likely survive.
I think their point wasn't that religious parents wouldn't be concerned about evolution too, but that in 2021 they would have expected LGBT issues to be at the forefront of the religious right's fears surrounding public schools.

For the parental fears to center on evolution either suggests either that the parents were censoring their larger concerns for OP, or it's an anachronism that brings the chronology into question.
Societies have failed to develop industrial scale investing for centuries. E.g. the Ottoman Empire and its successor states, due to high levels of endemic corruption. A societal trust/faith breakdown may indeed bring an end to investing as we know it. The countdown for the crumbling of the spiritual foundations of Western Civilization continues apace.

Tom Scott did a video on the ELT about a month ago:

Most of the video is an explanation of (a) why ground-based telescopes are still useful, and (b) why ganging up multiple telescopes (to create a large 'virtual' area) only goes so far, and then he gets into the ELT in part three of the video.

It's big. The scale is remarkable.

> Some communities highly dissatisfied with their police attempted to defund and/or defunded their department. That's not a great example because self-service policing doesn't work very well, but it's kinda close.

This is a great example for what should happen - demands for systemic reform, not taking what you think is "your" money and going home.

It's one thing to opt out of a system, it's another to think you're justified to get money back for it. As someone without any children am I justified in getting 24k/year back because I'm not using the school system for my (average) 2 non-kids? Of course not, but I do pay taxes for that service.
Can you point me to the part confirming your claim? If anything, it's confirming mine that they both are stuck at 60 Hz.
In cloud native arrangements, we are looking at the database as the ultimate integration tool. These schema are not owned by any specific service. There is a totally separate universe responsible for how all of that works outside code. Allowing code to drive schema (and permitting the implication that this is the best way) is the biggest frustration I have with ORMs & their higher-order consequences.

In my view, if the schema must change so radically that traditional migrations and other 'grow-only' techniques fall apart, you are probably looking at a properly-dead canary and in need of evacuating the entire coal mine.

The Quote regarding flowcharts and tables applies here - if you radically alter the foundation, everything built upon it absolutely must adapt. Every flowchart into the trashcan instantly. Don't even think about it. They're as good as a ball & chain now. Allowing parts of the structure to dictate parts of the foundation is where we find ourselves with circular firing squads.

Take things to the extreme - There is a reason you will start to find roles like "Schema Owner" in large, legacy org charts. These people cannot see the code or they will become tainted. They only have one class of allegiance - LOB owners. These are who they engage to develop & refine schema over time. The schema owner themselves has a full time job that is entirely dedicated to minimizing the impact of change over time to the org. This person is ideally the most ancient wizard in the org chart and has the prior Fred Brooks quote framed on their wall.

You can make schema change a top-down event that touches the entire organization. This happens quite often in banking when the central system is completely swapped for a different vendor & tech stack. Most of a bank is just a SQL database, but every vendor has a different schema that has to be adapted to. This is known as "core conversion" in the industry and is one of the more hellish experiences I have ever seen. If a bank with 4 decades of digital records can pull something like this off with regularity, there aren't many excuses that remain for a hole-in-the-wall SaaS app with 6 months of customer data.

No, you are shown how the ancient Greeks did things, and how they had a lot of ridiculous ideas. Then they introduced Galileo Galilei that showed how experiments can rat out many bad ideas and used them to disprove many of the things written by the ancient Greeks.

That is how we know the scientific method is valuable, nobody has to indoctrinate you to it you can see it yourself. The reason the scientific method is so popular is because you don't have to get indoctrinated into it, it is so obvious that it is a great method.

That sounds very last-century... kinda like selling antiques to a pawn shop or consignment store that would take of finding a buyer.

Why does discovery and bidding justify $200k in overhead for the $2MM property? Why does a person need to go out and "find a buyer"?

Without this Realtor conspiracy, surely something like Redfin meets eBay would be more efficient? Posting online is what the cast majority of realtors do anyway, they don't actually "find" buyers... At least until you get to 1%er prices where golf club chats matter
