I think that's probably the point. It's kind of like early Wordpress with plugins. People who couldn't make professional websites suddenly could (with a little design and UI sense.) So I thought maybe if you get in at the beginning you might be able to make some waves in a pond...but I'm not sure because it moves much quicker and evolves into different things. Eventually, soon, none of the GPT's will be shiny enough.
The worse it is, the longer it will linger.
Reasonable engineering decisions depend on context.

POC-quality code that doesn't have clean boundaries and is tightly coupled isn't necessarily a problem if it is an internal detail of some application or library that is cheap to change in future if necessary, and its impact is localized. As long as it works, if there aren't any forces that cause it to be revisited, maybe it can be left to be low-quality forever, without any further impact.

Where things get concerning are if the cost and coordination required to change the design in future grows over time or becomes effectively impossible. E.g. if the POC-quality stuff ends up being propagated internally throughout the codebase over time as developers make changes and add it into more and more places -- maybe its within the control of a single team to fix it, but if left unchecked the effort grows from a few hours work in once place to something requiring planning, systemic refactoring, testing, dedicated effort over a period of months.

Or, worse, if the POC-quality poor design has ended up polluting system interfaces between components owned by multiple teams or multiple organizations, so removing it would become a multi-month or multi-year coordination process between groups of people with different priorities, requiring a V2 release, deprecation of V1 & migration.
Mutually assured destruction does happen. The problem is if there are more potential scalpers who are convinced they know why the previous scalper failed than there are restaurants that can absorb the hit.

How to get 8k followers, 1M impressions, and book $80k in revenue on LinkedIn
I guessed that, just wanted to figure out why
…right?

The API design is patently insane, but why can't there be a simple

if(nfds > FD_SETSIZE) {
errno = EINVAL;
return -1;
}

… or something to prevent "the API is garbage" from escalating all the way into "and now your memory is corrupt and the hackers are in"…?
Eh, not really. FPGA folks will tell you the exact same thing. Digital design and verification is much harder and more time consuming than SW. The suggestion has always been to start your implementation in SW and if you just can't make it work (ex. no reasonable uC can keep up) only then do you reach for an FPGA.
I like to say that users includes the people working with (using) your code in the future. It changes the definition of user compared to the normal usage, but I think it's a good point.
1) Make it work.

2) Make it right.

3) Make it fast.
It's hard to appreciate just how sensitive the towed array sonars actually are. The line from Hunt For Red October about a boat off the coast of San Francisco hearing a boat "way the hell out by Pearl" is something that always comes to mind.

One could do some mapping by listening to the reverberations from underwater rock slides and other naturally occurring sources of sounds--if you just so happen to find yourself in the right spot at the right time.
I've been watching this vlogger for a while now. This is one of his more intense trips.
There's also photoGimp:

But it's interesting if we can get FOSS Gui toolkits that allow for different approaches to menu/toolbar/discovery where the user can easily adjust and select how things should work - like readline Emacs/vi selection on steroids for Gui.

At least for my own code, I'm pretty sure its an inverse relationship to quality.

The masterpiece I fretted over for endless hours is guaranteed to be obsolete within 1 year.

The crappy hack with the comment that says "@TODO make not be garbage sorry" is cursed to live on for eternity.
I wanted to contact him to tell him that he was wrong (he got to the front page without using any of his proposed techniques [1]) but I couldn’t find the e-mail.

Handing values is important for all programs. You don't want some weird behaviour happening in any case. If you are writing a system that turns on a heater when the temperature falls below freezing, you're going to have a really bad time if you forget to handle the temperature.

So, yes, it makes sense to have constructs that can help with that problem, but it would be weird to have such constructs only for what a human considers an error condition. You would want that for every case that needs to be handled.

Otherwise you have to resort to testing, and if you accept that testing is good enough to ensure that you don't forget to check the temperature, then it also good enough to ensure that you have checked an error. There is nothing special about the error case. It's just another state like any other.

Not quite, minify JS can be "beautified" to get pretty reasonable JS back, sans variables and functions having letters for names as you noted. But this is because obfuscated JS is still valid JS, it's just made ugly.

Obfuscated assembly is often changed in such a way that there are no corresponding language constructs to "reverse" back to, if it originally came from a language like C++. Sure you can see the actual assembly code, but you can't recreate the higher level C++ constructs in a sane way, because the obfuscation technique scrambles things too much.
Yep, it should show on the screen but unfortunately the camera refresh rate is out of sync with the screen's refresh rate so it's a bit hard to see. I need to read the datasheet again and drop the screen's refresh rate - I tried adjusting the camera's instead but it was never quite right.
It's a fair point. The one detraction I would mention is safety. I wish there were ways to retrofit for better crash protection like there are to electrify an older vehicle.
I mean yeah definitionally sure, but also have some goddamn self-respect.
Tobacco contains Harmaline which is an MAOI - it both increases the bioavailability of nicotine as well as adding an additional psychoactive effect; stimulant + anti-depressant

I've recently started adding free base harmaline to my vape juice to create a proper tobacco substitute... I found that nicotine alone didn't provide the relaxation that I would get from smoking tobacco. After a fair amount of research I discovered that it was that lack of harmala compounds.

Sometimes the government itself might be impacted directly. What happens when a government agency/local government/whatever gets ransowmared, turns out their backups don't exist/work/were locked as well, and the options are to shut down which they can't, legally, or pay up? Or in cases such as the above, when the impacted private entity is a massive government contractor that is too big to fail?

Those are reasons why I think it's unlikely such a legislation would appear, not why it's a bad idea. Liability, personal at that, for lack of cybersecurity should absolutely be introduced globally.
As someone who is preparing to jumpstart a community of their own I found this article very interesting, but after the initial stages of community building it appears to turn into community facilitating, more or less.

Reducing your influence and encouraging self-governance seems necessary and inevitable but also opens the doors to seeing your community and your vision for it devolve into something you don’t want or aren’t prepared for.

How do you step in and nudge a community that has grown to that point in the “right” direction without scaring off those involved?

Note: maybe you don’t. I understand that “be specific” is not only important in bringing in and retaining community members but also ensuring the community stays on the rails.

It kind of is because .NET CLI includes more stuff to facilitate the interop (eg. operator overloading, reified generics, value types). It limits your choices when implementing languages on top but it then makes it usable from different languages.
>Adults are former children, raised by parents who are also former children. Basically there's no reason for you to focus your sight like a laser pointer on the parents, because it's all a big system in a closed loop,

Society and norms change. My "former children" were whipped by their parents, they didn't pass that down to me (but I was also raised partially by grandparents, who did the same thing). "we" decided spankings weren't acceptable anymore in a relatively recent time frame. But "we" still can't seem to teach future adults about their bodies and that bad people will take advantage of it.

It's a societal issue and I will critique society as they continue to brush the real issue under the rug. Perverts aren't some ancient monster wiped out by war, unfortunately.

>This is why you yourself are speaking the languages you speak, have the beliefs you do, you're just an amalgamation of things you saw and heard, and adopted them as your own.

Indeed. And my society taught me to think critique every practice, and to unshackle from tradition. "because that's how things were done" is the worst justification in my mind. Which you seem to be using to excuse this behavior.

I don't accept it. If only because of this simple norm: if we were thst influenced by our upbringing and this happens, that means we have an entire societal line that thinks it's okay to prey upon children. I hope we aren't taught that by friends or family or education.

>Including the belief we should blame the parents.

If society believed that, this story blaming a website for facilitating the abuse of a child instead of the parents who should have been aware of the child's browsing activity wouldn't be here, no?

I don't really subscribe much to the "you criticize society but you live in one" retort. Societal participation isn't very consentual in and of itself but that's a whole other rabbit hole.
FOTPT only applies in instances where the cops obtained the content illegally. If some vigilante or bad actor obtains evidence of a crime without coordination or involvement from the government, then the government obtains this illegally-obtained information through legal means, it's still fair game for prosecution.

For example, if I break into your home and steal your safe, which contains evidence of fraud you're committing, then the cops catch me and seize the evidence of my crime, thus observing evidence of your crimes, the evidence they took from my case can be used against you.

In fact, if I'm talking to my cop friend and he tells me about the case against you and that they think there's evidence of your criminal activity in your safe, but they haven't obtained probable cause, I could break in, take the safe, and provide it to my friend and it still be admissible in court. Your defense would have to make a convincing argument that my cop friend asked or coordinated with me to commit the crime of breaking into your house/safe.
Did the same, but it looks like this security issue would allow someone to just unfreeze before taking a loan in your name.
> I assumed google designed kotlin, my mistake I do not care about android.

That's exactly what I criticize: you assume stuff that is wrong, and then you say "it's stupid".

> with a simple to use and memorizable syntax like swift

Have you ever tried Kotlin, or do you assume it is bad?

> Yes using dalvik (the same nonsense as JVM) is a stupid idea

Too bad, it stopped being Dalvik years ago. But I guess you just assumed without checking anything, again.

> Being able to use cheaper hardware to provide faster devices is a direct benefit to consumers.

Sure. Feel free to design cheaper hardware and provide faster devices. If you take the Android market, you'll be rich.

> And perhaps you're too young or inexperienced

Just experienced enough to not "assume" wrong stuff and feel like I know best.

> The patchwork of changes they have made between now and then

Says the person who doesn't know that they have changed Dalvik.

> It would behoove you to actually understand the overhead of interpreting bytecode

Assuming again? Ever heard of AOT?

> Perhaps you're blindly loyal to android

Absolutely not. Android has its issues, so does iOS. I just do my best not to say stuff like "it's a piece of trash because <wrong fact> <wrong fact>".
For 128k context (even with a 7B model), I don't think 8GB is nearly enough. I've heard there might be tricks to get it under 24GB... but I haven't personally seen it under about 28GB, IIRC. Definitely not heard of it being possible with 8GB.
There's no way most of the users in the Netflix data had IMDb accounts.
There needs to be a better alternative to credit reports. They only exist because banks and lenders could no longer discriminate on race directly, so they created a roundabout way to discriminate based on "credit score", which happened to be worse for the people the wanted to exclude in the first place.
I’ve been unable to sleep at night thinking about whether or not this was possible - glad I can finally get some rest.
IMHO, most fields in biology lack good on ramps when compared to CS. I think part of the reason is that it's way easier to get someone to install Python than to get access to a mass spectrometer. A big factor in me studying Biochemistry in undergrad was that it was way easier to self-teach myself the parts of CS that interested me than it was for Biochemistry, in my estimation.

I'm sorry I don't have a better answer for you, I hope someone else here does!

Then some jackass who doesn't know an std::int32_t from a *std::basic_string_view demands you cut off somewhere around step 0.99.

There’s a huge amount of head room to improve search though. For each of the items we can add all sorts of synonyms and descriptions so that users at any level can find the tool they’re looking for.

And we can even add crude customization to the search. Gimp can easily remember the prefix-tool click pairs, so that you don’t even need to type “cropping tool”, if you type “cr” Gimp will remember which tool you clicked last time.
I agree that Threads may be a “privacy nightmare” and so that may limit its deployment to Europe, but is it really a conspiracy theory to suggest that Meta will release their latest products (and maybe move current ones) to their own Meta App Store once Apple is forced to allow 3rd-party app stores? That seems less of a conspiracy to me and more of a natural consequence, and Meta won’t be alone here either.

Many have said “that’s not what happened on Android” and that’s true, however I think that’s true only because everyone is waiting for the iPhone to be forced to change and then you release your own store across both platforms. It seems likely to me it’s not worth it to do it on Android alone - kind of like releasing an Android-only app. You’d want both an Android and iOS version of your app. The costs and duplication of infrastructure probably doesn’t make sense for one operating system but does for two.
I don't agree with comments like that dying since I think it does contribute a unique POV to the discussion, but I also think it's not a very persuasive one and feels a bit like the reflexive "just run Linux" if someone brings up a Windows issue.

The problem with old cars as the solution is that first and foremost, that's obviously not a long term solution or one that will work for car buyers as a whole. Not everyone is going to be OK with buying a 34 year old car, and even fewer are going to be OK buying a 44 year old car 10 years from now. Even if they were, cars don't last forever and eventually we'll all be in a bidding war over the last analog car.

That approach also throws the baby out with the bathwater. Infotainment aside, new cars are vastly better than old cars in a number of areas. Safety, comfort, efficiency, reliability, performance, etc. Missing all this because modern infotainment features are bad does not seem like a good tradeoff, particularly since new cars will continue to progress in all those areas while old cars obviously won't. The smartphone comparison is actually pretty appropriate here, because a modern smartphone is a huge improvement for the vast majority of people over an old dumb phone, even if the improvement comes with some tradeoffs.

Instead I think it would be more useful and realistic to push for more consumer friendly car technology, either by voting with our wallets or pushing for appropriate legislation. Pretending cars peaked the year Taylor Swift was born does not feel like the right alternative, even if some people do genuinely like older cars.

Often the data isn't exfiltrated at all, only encrypted in place, which should be relatively easy to prove.

EHang: Hollow Order Book, Fake Sales Make Chinese EVTOL Last in Line for Takeoff
I work on cars as a hobby. Many newer cars are so intergrated and removing the radio/cellular system would render the car inoperable. This is not hyperbole, I have tried doing exactly this on a few newer cars. I was able to make one work by spoofing the device on canbus(non trivial), but the other I was not. Most cars would require rewiring to use a stand-alone ecu at a minimum, and that will leave you without a working stock dashboard, and/or in some cases no lights at all, no locks, no windows.
Yeah it's reasonably common and unfortunate for people to have to deal with but is not really an issue or funny for me personally.
Am close with a mixed race family in the USA and the dad's last name is spelled very similarly to Semen and they ended up just changing it to Simon. I get it but also find it kind of sad.

But people have been making variations of names for a long time for things like this.
My teen-aged son was just in a bad accident last week. A lady pulled out from a driveway right in front of him while we was going 45mph. There's no question in my mind she at least would have been dead if she were in an older car without modern side impact safety standards. She had to be cut out of the car, but it protected her pretty darn well. His car was entirely destroyed all the way up to the firewall, after which point there was basically no visible damage at all. Modern cars are definitely safer.
Soviet Active Measures and Disinformation: Overview and Assessment
Not much has changed:

"But if they respond too vociferously, they may be crediting active measures with greater influence over public opinion than is the case."

"The key should be a steady flow of factual information to expose active measures when this can be done in a credible manner."

"Few appreciate being gulled by the deliberate distortion of news."

"The soundest strategy for dealing with disinformation thus has two main ingredients: a steady flow of facts and lots of patience."

Yet, I do wonder whether these strategies still work in 2023, not least because of domestic actors playing the same game.

Transitioning from Cypress to Playwright
I don't think front-end is going away anytime soon. I would put good money on React being around in a decade or even longer.

Either way, no one has a crystal ball and trying to make decisions today that account for a problem you might have 10 years down the road feels like a bad way to go about things.

Find a proven well-supported solution that works today. Hence my comment about building on the shoulders of giants by adopting a robust popular open-source framework - so your team can just get to work on what matters to the business, and not worry about re-inventing the wheel on the underlying common tooling that already exists.

Then keep an eye on where things are going and don't fall too far behind on your updates.

Staying on top of your technical health/debt and remaining current as technology evolves should be baked into your strategy anyways, regardless of what tooling you choose.

I think this can apply to any technology decision.
I would hold off on naming your son Adolph if you're going for a name that works in both English and Swedish... It's a name, sure, but it kind of fell out of fashion.

> The average age for the name Adolf is 74 years amongst men

> Now I'm wondering if the sum total of all inventions prior to 1800 is more or less than the total since 2000

Not sure why you have the gap between 1800 and 2000. But the number of things 'invented' before 1800 is massive in terms of the broad categories of things we consider essential to life e.g. (in no particular order) fire, transport, cooking, metal working, agriculture, animal husbandry, buildings, weapons, health care, books, paintings, music, optics, etc. There are very few things after 2000 of such importance.

I suspect that if you had a single cut-off at 1800, 'before' might still win, if we stick to these high-level categories, rather than, say, patent applications.
