I know there are probably a ton of much more academic use cases for this kind of tool, but for me personally, I'm mostly interested to use it to figure out what exactly got removed from a playlist (or liked videos or etc.) because it always bothers me when I can't remember what's no longer there.
I felt similarly about using ChatGPT until a few months ago.

I took some pride in having almost 20 years of (on-and-off) programming experience, I felt that it was one of my strengths as an older CS graduate student, and I didn't look forward to trading my traditional programming workflow for "prompt engineering." I also generally avoid adopting more complex tools because I think it can lead to spending more time figuring out the tools than using them to accomplish things (i.e. "yak shaving").

But a few months ago my advisor showed me how other people are using ChatGPT to accelerate their work, like having a research assistant, and he basically said that we're falling behind if we're not using it too. Within a month of starting to use it this summer, I knew he was right. Tasks that would previously take me a week to do now take a day or even just an hour. I do worry that it's making me lazier in some cases, but I haven't stopped learning either. I mostly use the output of ChatGPT like I'd use example code from tutorials or StackOverflow; it's less copying-and-pasting exact code and more taking the examples and rewriting or modifying them to do exactly what I want.

The ability to get instant answers to my questions when I don't understand how something works, or when I'm debugging / troubleshooting, has absolutely increased my learning rather than stunting it.
Excellent rhetorical question.

Anyone looking for a way to split hairs will continue the controversy that’s not controversial.
I want to do research on the stat and what people have learned about it. I'm specifically trying to find out what that stat would be called so I can search for it in existing research, not just how to calculate it.
These places offer you a gift in a legally enforceable contract which is contingent on you attending a specific duration of the timeshare sales pitch.

That's great! (i mean this unironically in case that came off sarcastic)

I'm not a kde contributor myself, but they seem to have a matrix channel for that purpose at [ https://webchat.kde.org/#/room/#new-contributors:kde.org ], where the contributors themselves can probably point you to the relevant resources and get started.

About your second point: From what I've been reading on their blog, a large focus of Plasma 6 is making the defaults more sane and simplifying them a good bit.

It's obviously a huge challenge to design systems that are simple and polished to understand and use on the surface, but powerful to customize underneath, and I'm interested to see how it will be tackled.

Edit: Also on this site [ https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved ] they point to resources for the KDE Visual Design group
It could have easily landed on the home page without the age mention. There are 10-20k links on the front page every year.
Looks especially clean, consistent and well-modularised, tackling a problem that requires non-trivial knowledge about binary formats and kernel APIs. Many "senior" programmers would struggle to build something like this even at a conceptual level. The antithesis of "kids these days" :-)

Out of curiosity, how does a 17-year-old attain that level of knowledge? Books, peers, programming clubs, parents who are programmers probably?
I suspect this is for creating PDFs for ChatGPT, not for generating project documentation from source. That's the usecase that immediately came to mind, since a lot of Rust content (for example) is in mdbook format.

From my experience golang uses less memory than a .net app.

I have reduced my streaming use and switched to listening primarily on vinyl and an iPod with a set collection, and I have really preferred it. It’s very nice to have interfaces that just play exactly what I want and are not constantly pushing advertisements for podcasts and audiobooks in my face.

I’m spending more time listening to the music I love and the massive collection I already owned from back in the day. There’s something about not having unlimited access that helps me appreciate what I do have to a greater degree.
I agree very much with the addiction aspect being genetic. My mother has tried to quit cigarettes umpteen times and never been successful. Smokes multiple packs a day.

My dad has smoked here and there my whole life but mostly in the summer. He'll go all 6 months of winter (Minnesota) without smoking not wanting to be in the cold and not wanting to smoke in the house.

He never "needs" a smoke, unlike my mother. It's always "oh a smoke would be nice on this beautiful night".

I like to smoke a tobacco pipe and do so about 6-10 times a year. I think I got my dad's side of it
Okay sounds good. Thanks for the feedback! Yes, I just announced it a couple hours ago to my newsletter subscribers. And this is my first promotional post of it on any web platform. I suspect if I keep at it, it may gain some users - maybe not. But either way I'll chalk it up to a learning experience.
Yes, and Rob Pike has a post about it on his blog, command-central.com, IIRC.
It really seems to vary by person, perhaps genetic.

In university I used to bum cigarettes off people all the time and have one here and there, esp back when you could smoke at the club, at a rave, etc. before bylaws. I'd even buy a pack of cigarettes here and there, and then just...forget about them and never finish them. Sometimes I'd have a bit of a craving for two or three days after and just power through it, and that was that.

In the summer I'll smoke some pipe tobacco, and every few years smoke a cigar. Don't really crave after.

Before my older sister was born my father was a heavy smoker. When my mom got pregnant, he just quit, and that was that, never ever showed any interest in smoking again.

But then I've seen the very brutal suffering that I saw friends go through trying to quite their smoking habit. Just awful.

All said, I don't think nicotine is a wise thing to mess with. Vaping especially to me seems like a slippery slope because it kind of gives the vibe of a kind of "consequence-less" interaction with the drug. If you smoke a pipe or cigar, you stink, you might get a headache, and it actually costs quite a bit of $$. Vaping is set up to seem like this casual entertainment with few consequences. I'm glad my teens have so far ridiculed it and shown no interest.

> One Dutch study tested 38 participants' ability to solve a Stroop test – which uses conflicting stimuli such as the word "blue" in red letters to interfere with how quickly people respond to a prompt – whilst stepping backwards, forwards or sideways. It found that participants stepping backwards had the fastest reaction times, perhaps because their brains were already used to performing an incongruous task.

I wonder if this study would replicate.
You may be right, maybe those sources are examples of ones which mix up tobacco and nicotine.

Let's take it from the article instead:

> like all stimulants, nicotine may raise blood pressure somewhat, and is addictive to some degree, but the risks do not appear much more strikingly harmful than caffeine or modafinil

And:

> My take away is that there is addiction but it’s drastically overestimated by almost everyone and may been conflated with the habit-formation capability

I'm not criticizing the article, I'm disagreeing with the statement "nicotine is not addictive". I wouldn't have commented to disagree with a statement like "nicotine's addictiveness is exaggerated because it's conflated with tobacco's addictiveness", but that wasn't what goodluckchuck said

That's still not quite what I'm looking for. I want to compare that stat to the total number of children the average woman raises to adulthood, to understand better how an improved survival rate affects the number of children a woman gives birth to.

I'm looking for the term itself because I want to look up existing research on the subject, but can't figure out what to search for because I don't know what that stat would be called.
In the US, movie production costs aren't expensed in the period when incurred. They're capitalized, and then amortized over time.

So the last sentence of your comment is spot on.

Writing off an asset causes a reduction in net assets, which translates into a loss on the income statement.
Certainly not. But without that pressure from large group buyers, costs would be even more out of control.
Glad to see this article. It reminds me of a tech lead I once had: very skilled engineer, great guy (we still hang out now, long after I left that job), but we communicated differently. I come from a background where people think they're being subtle if they don't grab the front of your shirt when they're talking. His background must have been very different: we had a problem on a number of occasions where he would ask me to do something, he would leave the conversation with the idea that I had agreed to do the thing, and I was completely unaware that he had even asked.
Absolutely. I should have been clear in my rant -- the work outlined in the article is incredible and should be celebrated.

My point is simply that we should have the choices ourselves, and the reason we don't is bullshit.

p.s., condolences on the bad trip. I did a lot of psychedelics recreationally in my youth and have had a couple "misadventures" and so I do not do so today. It's powerful stuff and I do plan on trying again but in a therapeutic/spiritual way and will not do so lightly.
The official formal specification of the Vector Extension has just been merged into the Golden RISC-V model:

https://github.com/riscv/sail-riscv/commit/c90cf2e6eff5fa4ef...

I expect that this will help stabilise compiler support and facilitate other RISC-V extensions, like RISC-V Vector Crypto, also to progress.
Prisons in the USA are for-profit enterprises that rely on a consistent population. They have no incentive to rehabilitate, in fact it's the opposite. What I don't understand is how a country with so many advantages like the USA could come up with arguably the worst prison system in the world. As a citizen, it's embarrassing that this is accepted by those in power as a good solution.
You’re going to have the same problem that ICO’s and existing AI models have: there’s no moat. It’s technically trivial to copy successful AI models/web3 projects.
It was never going to go any other way for the RVA* profiles.

Qualcomm’s other proposal to add a standard extension with more complex (Aarch64-like) instructions to the ISA should be a totally independent question.

There is plenty of room for it in the ISA, people can choose to implement it or not, and if more than one vendor wants such an extension then it makes sense to standardize it.

ISA is one thing. Providing alternative extensions that implementors can choose between according to their needs is a good thing.

Profiles — that is a set of extensions for a particular application space, which vendors must implement and shrink-wrapped software can depend on — is a totally different thing, which MUST have strong backward compatibility guarantees.

The right decision has been made concerning the RVA* profile series.

I hope this doesn’t preclude discussion regarding a standard extension to the ISA.

>There's a lot of misinformation, bad arguments and bad conclusions in this post. Let's pick it apart.

No, there really isn't, but I had fun answering :-)

> But, past isn't a guarantee of the future. It was stable before, but who's to say it will be in the future?

Whos to say C will be stable tomorrow? Well, the fact that things like GCC are standards unto themself, even without any official governance (Which C has in addition). Its the same for Go.

If anyone was to change that, all I have to do is check out an earlier version of this open source language, and use that. And since tons of code rely on this, that is what would happen.

Languages don't become unstable because they suddenly change trajectory. This rarely ever happens. Language instability requiring constant evolvement and developer effort (both from the languages devs, as well as the languages users) is the result of feature upon feature getting heaved upon a language, along with codebases relying on these features, necessitating constant maintenance effort to keep up to date.

Go, explicitly, has a completely different design trajectory. And as a result, Go code that was written in Go 1.8 will still compile today.

> Go has no standard

Here is the official spec of the language: https://go.dev/ref/spec

Which is a de-facto standard, even according to this listing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_programming_lang...

Btw. if you look at the listing, MOST languages, including commonly used ones, don't have an international or national standard. Many don't even have a de-facto standard. Among them are many tried and battle tested languages.

> and nobody will hold them responsible for the discrepancy.

Anyone unhappy with the implementation is free to fork the project and take it in a different direction. He who writes the code makes the rules. If people are unhappy with that, they can fork, or use another language. And people seem to be very happy with the language: https://madnight.github.io/githut/#/pull_requests/2023/3

> By who? How did you come to this conclusion? There's only evidence to the contrary of your argument.

What evidence is there for the assumption that Go would vanish if Google lost interest?

> This is demonstrably false.

No, it is not, as demonstrated by the example I gave regarding C. The language didn't change much from C99, which itself wasn't that big a step away from ANSI-C. C99 was a quarter century ago, and C remains one of the most used languages in existence.

> To further illustrate this point: today, versions of Python

I am pretty sure I never used Python as an example for this. If you disagree, quote where I did.

> In more broader terms, I have no idea why did you bring C into this argument.

For a very simple reason: To show that a language that is mostly feature-freezed, and so stable that I can run a modern compiler on decades-old unchanged code, and still get a runnable executable, can be, and are, incredibly successful. Go has been called "C for the 21st century", and for everything other than System-Programming, that statement holds true.

an instance of simple vs easy
author shrugged this off pretty easily but nicotine is a vasoconstrictor which is an issue when combined with it being addictive. that's a problem if you ever have certain types surgery due to wound healing and lack of blood flow. There's more than a few people that effed their plastic surgery results because they immediately went back to nicotine. (note: not all plastics are necessarily volunteer, such as after certain cancer/tumor/melanoma removals).
My assumption about something coded in Go is that it was expected to be persistent and actively maintained. I agree that AI is good for one-off scripting purposes.
Even if the author was right about the intent, I would disagree with them that “this is how to write code with empathy for other programmers”, because the code would just make me think “I must be missing something” (and indeed the author did miss something).

My theory, by the way, was that the expression is normalizing the possible NaN representations to a definite one, possibly to prevent transporting information via the NaN representation.

Such “what the …?” code should have a comment explaining the intent (e.g. “replace non-numeric values by NaN”). If it is used in multiple places, that’s a good opportunity to define a function for it, so the intent only needs to be documented in a single place. (In programming languages with annotations as a language construct, annotations could alternatively also be used for referencing the documentation of a coding pattern from multiple places.)
You're wrong. Not all costs incurred in the current year reduce taxes in the current year.

These weren't expenses (which reduce net income in the period when incurred) but investments in a new movie (which create assets which sit on the balance sheet).

The decision to write off the asset in the current year (rather than amortizing it over time) is the result of a business decision.
