If you're prepared to pay market rate for someone to maintain something you should always be able to find someone willing to accept market rate (by definition). This separates the cost of maintenance from costs flowing from rent-seeking behavior.

Arguably industry is always willing to pay, in aggregate, the cost for free software to be maintained, but is not willing to pay, despite the optimism of those who sell it, for the marginal utility it gives them per-customer (which should be much higher). When asked to do so they will simply support free-as-in-beer or cheaper alternatives until one of those becomes the dominant player. This is why successful and heavily commercialized free software projects often seem to be only just clinging on to profitability (eg Docker).
That's why you don't name places after living people.
This happens a lot. It's all pretty rotten.
It's not only insurance, rent and cost of living in general is (on average) higher in the US, partly because of the higher wages
> Society has accidentally rediscovered that marriage is the only way to have sex that isn't technically rape.

Ehhh no.

Simply asking for an explicit yes is fine here too by law. Of course taking into account that this can be revoked at any time and must be obeyed.

And even within marriage it's not legal to force someone to have sex. At least here in Spain it's much more about spending ones life together, shared ownership and parenthood etc than about sex. Of course you wouldn't marry someone you don't ever want to have sex with but it doesn't mean you are obliged to do so. Marital rape is unfortunately a thing.

On the other hand, open marriages are also a thing. I often engage in sexual practices with married people with the spouse even present (and often active with someone else). It's not rape :). Just harmless and fully consensual fun.

Consent is actually a huge thing in the more promiscuous communities these days. Often people even make contracts (though this is more common in BDSM than in the Swinger community)
> Does this happen more often for Rails than for other frameworks?

Yes. But there are many frameworks where this is even worse. Rails, however, is highly opinioated, and does not allow you to pick and choose your parts (this is a design decision). That has lot's of benefits, but the major downside is that it will never fit perfectly (or as close as one may get). Most often an "off the rack suite" is fine, but we all know that a tailor-made suit is just that much better/prettier/comfortable/durable. Same here: Rails will probably fit your project OK, but that's not good enough for many projects.

AR is a another big contributor, as is the way Rails has its MVC set up. Tight coupling, no separation of concerns, etc. etc.

As you say:

> If you plan to build an application belonging to a category where AR is not a good fit, why use Rails?

Which is my entire point. Yet it happens. Far too often. (I'm a freelance consultant who deals with these failing Rails projects on a monthly base. And occasionally a very pretty one)
It depends on how the Vietnam legal system works, but in theory you can enforce a civil judgment across borders.

After winning a judgment, Google would have to go to court in Vietnam and ask for the judgment be enforced. The court would look at wether proper notice was given, the jurisdiction was proper and that the underlying conduct was something you could sue for. They may also look at the award to determine it isn't excessive. If they're satisfied the court can then issue an order to enforce it.

This all depends heavily on how the Vietnam legal system works, which I have no idea. Obviously every country has their own quirks and processes.

So you expect AI will just create all potential interesting side projects by itself when it gets better, no outside intervention required? I have high hopes, but let's be realistic here.

I'm not saying you won't have to work. I'm saying you can skip most of the tedious parts of making something work.

If trying out an idea will only take a fraction of the time and cost it used to, it will become a lot easier to just go for it. That goes for programmers as well as paying clients.

No, experimenting is not pseudoscience, but taking a single flawed experiment communicated anecdotally with no mention of setup or control and then moving into discussion about the "results" as if it was performed in any way reproducibly is pseudoscience. It presents itself as science but when you pick it apart it's actually lacking many mainstays of what we'd call scientific methodology.

Every five-to-ten years some technology comes around that's finally going to put software engineers out of work.

Turns out the only thing truly successful at that task is economic mismanagement.
That has only limited effect, as this kind of thing is more of an emotional thing.
This is wild. If somebody demands your wallet, there is an implicit threat of violence. It's an awful, scary, dehumanizing experience that destroys your sense of communal society. The lack of proper sympathy for victims of robbery is emblematic of how long and far we have strayed from a basic functioning trust-based society. If there is even a hint of an imagined whiff that a person might disagree with us on some semi-related social issue, we immediately block out 100% of what should be normal baseline human sympathy.

I'd buy that it's the largest single instance, but as it doesn't federate at all, this is... not that interesting a fact. It's a bit like how, at some point (maybe still) WhatsApp was the largest XMPP instance.

Most of the GPU's are backordered bigtime but our vendors are chomping at the bit to sell us these.
Calling for more rigorous experimentation is not a dismissal of experimentation. It's healthy to be critical about experimental methodologies and to call for more rigour before conclusions are drawn.
It's very difficult to get traction here if the project is difficult to try. And I'm very concerned about signing with Google in a random site. (It's safe, but I don't like it. It's a personal preference.)

The project looks interesting, I filled the fields and I'd like to try it, but I probably will not create an account.

Is it possible to make a trial version without login? Perhaps with some bounded rate, or a waiting time of 1 minute or something to discourage abuse.

(Perhaps some samples may be a nice alternative, but a restricted 100% free try is better.)
No. Stern fans were the main audience. Some people who hated him did tune in, but those were a minority.

Of course these days he’s turned more or less into Imus.
> Why not start by building the version of that dependency supported by the project you want to build?

Because I don’t know which version that is half the time. Does the readme say to use version 2.2 or 2.0.1? Are they meaningfully different? Maybe 2.2 is needed to be compatible with something else on my system. (Nvidia has entered the chat). I have no idea what is in the changelog of some random dependency that I’ve never heard of before - and I just remembered, I don’t care. I never care.

> For the last two, you could actually contribute community packages. Have you ever tried Arch Linux, for instance?

That sounds like an even more effective way to waste an entire evening. Maybe multiple evenings! When I see a cool program someone’s written that I want to play around with, what better use of my time could there possibly be than figuring out how to submit community made packages to arch Linux for the random dependencies of some random software someone linked me? All this before I’ve even built the program I want to try out? No thanks.

And how is it more secure? Do programs magically get security audits as part of their addition to arch Linux community packages?

Your comment reminds me of that infamous response in Dropbox’s “Show HN” thread. “Well, the problem Dropbox solves sounds like something easily done with rsync which is already part of arch Linux. Have you tried arch Linux? Instead of starting a billion dollar company, you could submit a simple bash script as a community contribution to arch. Using a bash script in arch Linux is of course less convenient. But I believe it is a trade off.”

And to answer the unspoken question, no. Arch Linux doesn’t have the tens of thousands of up to date packages that are already in cargo. And are already available on every operating system under the sun. Manually adding them to arch sounds like a pointless task that would only serve to make updating my dependencies more difficult and make my software less compatible on all the other systems it already, effortlessly works on. (Like Debian, FreeBSD, macOS and windows.)
Reminds me of a story I heard about a microwave (?) Link on a rural hill somewhere in NZ that requires switching off when techs go to site because it transmits over the road. Cows have to be fenced out of the area in front of it because it damages them, but no grass grows in a cone infront of it anyway.

Can't remember if a uni mate told me that or John Sullivan the telecoms lead of the Auckland skytower construction.
There are very strict rate limits as well: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1675187969420828672

I think they have increased them since then, but for a while Twitter was really struggling to serve regular users without hitting them with rate limit errors.
From the article:

While we are ultimately interested in the physical limits of computers in our universe, working within the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence gives us a precise framework for quantum gravity. As well, a fundamental observation in computer science is that the power of computers is robust to “reasonable” changes in the details of the computing model: classical computers can be described in terms of Turing machines, uniform circuits, etc. and the resources needed to solve a given computational problem will change only polynomially. Quantum computers are similarly robust. This robustness suggests understanding the power of computers in AdS is likely to yield insights that apply more broadly.

I'm decidedly not an expert in this field but as I understand it there are two points to doing the math in this way:

- We know how to describe the inside of a black hole mathematically from an AdS perspective.

- IF the AdS/CFT correspondence is true (likely but unproven), then you can generalize from "works inside black hole" to "works inside the normal universe".

It's more an exploratory step towards getting a better understanding of complexity theory for quantum computers than it is a practical result intended for doing computations inside black holes.
It turns out it is pointless, we just work in a very fad-driven industry. Once Google started computing in a black hole, it just automatically became popular, and eventually it became common knowledge. “Can’t get fired for computing in a black hole” they’d say.

Then the Hackernews guys put their server in a black hole that turned out to be a wormhole, one thing lead to another, and posts were getting sprayed across the timeline. What a mess.
IMO in terms of achievement and impact Musk is an Einstein-caliber historical figure, and we have to treat what he says and does very carefully. That's why anyone who follows him must always remember that road to hell is paved with good intentions.

> ... groups of people that have a shared concern to come together and make their case to the politicians.

That would be solved by referenda, with their results and number of people affected being presented to the politicians so that they must deal with the problem.
Lobbying as it is now in many countries (possibly all of them) has nothing to do with that and to me is just legalized corruption.
>There must have been a knowledge transfer for such an important feet of engineering.

You've never heard of the situation where no one knows how a business critical piece of software works? "Bob wrote it 20 years ago but he died last year".
This kind of stuff happens all the time in the real world. If no one is paying for that knowledge and supply chain to be maintained it will atrophy and dissapear. That's why the US army is still buying tanks even though they have thousands in storage, they need a company to maintain the supply chain and institutional knowledge to build tanks.
Are you imagining generations of engineers being tasked with knowing how to build a rocket with 1960's technology with parts from suppliers that no longer exist despite no one having any intention to ever buy such a rocket again and no one paying for the maintenance of that ability?
At this point I'm just betting that someone is going to write a TypeScript for C++. Until then, I'm sticking to Rust. I just want to get the job done and make money, and so far the ROI on Rust has been HUGE for me. I can't remember the last segfault I've seen.

To my understanding this is a small low-energy chip designed for applications like basic object detection in a doorbell camera, or speech recognition for a home assistant.

I think it's a bit misleading to say "faster [...] than Nvidia's best AI GPU" and "outperofrms[sic] all major architectures" - it specifically means latency and energy efficiency. Its throughput/memory are so tiny that it's not at all a replacement for Nvidia's best AI GPUs (and not intended to be):

> NorthPole's core array includes 192 MB of flexible memory (768KB of unified memory per core). Assigning 2/3rd of this memory to parameters, such as weights and biases, provides 128MB for network storage.

My wife participates in it every year (for many years); in october she gets the outline done, then in november she writes the book, in december she has editors go over it and she publishes during the next year.

Ok. If that is what you meant. I thought you meant a recruiter as in a tech recruiter that finds candidates from different sources and then sets up the actual interview loop after a brief initial call that might involve a simple technical equestrian.
Run Along, a simple iOS runnning app for you and your friends
my friend and i spent the last 5 weeks building a small ios app which lets you compare you and your friends' weekly running distance in a simple leaderboard.

we feel like current social apps focus more on nurturing the connection to your close friends rather than your broad network. we emulate this trend in the running world and therefore built this small app.

if you are a runner yourself and like to test new products, we would love to get your thoughts!

> Rust as we know it stops if this one particular web service goes down.

True that, but that is only because we got used to not having to download dependencies manually (like with C). The option of "download all of your dependencies by hand and slap them in a directory" is always there, only instead of invoking ./configure with --with-libxyz=PATH or setting XYZ_PATH you modify a Cargo.toml.

> this problem is largely solved for C and C++: Linux distributions like Debian package such a wide range of libraries that for many things that you want to develop or install, you don’t need any third-party libraries at all.

That's rich. If that was the case, there would be no Docker. What about Windows? On Windows installing C/C++ libraries is a massive PITA. What about if your distro packages the wrong library version, or it's been built with a set of flags you can't use? The whole point is moot IMHO. A small part of why we ship libraries through package managers is because disk space was scarce years ago and it's arguably "safer" to build shared objects (at least for C libraries, C++ has templates so shared objects is a recipe for disaster and requires rebuilding everything anyway). The critical reason why we have a `libxyz` package in the average distro is because _C/C++ build system is a massive mess_, and that's the only sane way to distribute and allow people to build packages without wasting several hours to find and gather all dependencies.

This approach has considerable downsides, so that's why we now have Flatpak and the like.

I wasn't saying that we want to swap it out in the middle of an established project, but that it's impossible to do so in a greenfield project too.

there's MongoID and it's OK-ish, -a brilliant piece of work though!- but not particularly good inside Rails yet the best alternative example there is. Yet with this (naturally) many gems won't work either. Everything in the community simply presumes Rails' AR is always there. Because it practically always is.

ROM-rb, and Sequal all attempted to be "plugin replacements" but the author of the first rage-quitted at some point exacly because Rails (the dev team) refused some compromises or even abstractions that would allow swapping AR out for something that fits SomeProject better, at the start.

This is great. Ive been using GPT based tools extensively for my side project which I have a demo for(http://drophere.co see code at https://github.com/itissid/drop_webdemo) one thing I think that is missing is a couple of agents that can pick out the right context from my code depending on what needs to get done. Let me explain:

They are a couple of patterns that I used to design chunks of the web app:
One is to do a high level design brainstorming with an agent, write some pseudo code. Which is fine with regular GPTs with limited context lengths.

As I got into the implementation details, there are several sub components which themselves require a dedicated agent because they become 1 week sprints to complete with 100's of loc. But I need them to pull context from other agents of the project, which is missing.,

This latter part could be done by along the lines of this research.

I think a couple of projects are trying to do this using traditional RAG like GPTEngineer can benefit from this.
