Act works pretty well in my experience, but it's tied to GHA.

Once nice thing about Earthly + Dagger is that your build + pipeline code are bundled together, and you can run them on any compute.

As for YAML, it is ubiquitous and more accessible to those who are less comfortable writing code. One thing that I don't like about YAML si that for larger GHA workflows become hard to understand quite quickly. It's nice to work in "real" languages like Go/TypeScript where you can create and compose functions, especially if the language you're writing your pipeline in is the same language as your app -- I think that's a very powerful use case where all devs can feel comfortable/empowered to tweak CI/build steps.

> It also seems to me that the argument you make is mostly focused on the building step? Earthly certainly seems focused on that aspect.

Earthly and Dagger solve both builds and CI pipelines. They're essentially identical aside from the syntax that you use.

Earthly and Dagger fit into CI in the same way, too. You'll have a GHA that installs Earthly/Dagger, and then calls your pipeline/build step. For Dagger, this is invoking your pipeline code. For Earthly, you'd want to define a `ci` target, and invoke it, e.g. `earthly +ci` (this means that locally you can run the entire pipeline with the same command). In both cases, you'd want your GHA (or whatever runner you're using) to be as dumb as possible, e.g. it should literally clone the repo, install the CLI, and run one shell command. Maybe it can also upload test reports/annotate PRs/etc, but the more you add to your GHA/test runner code outside of these tools, the less these tools can help you.

Here's an example using Earthly for CI:

We didn't go to the moon due to laziness. We don't build planes, trains, and skyscrapers due to laziness. We didn't invent vaccines or nuclear physics due to laziness. We don't write standards or encyclopedias or novels due to laziness.

I'd suggest most of our progress was actually made by grinding through boring tasks. Many (most?) lazy people do not drive much progress.
I foil and efoil as a hobby; Once on foil, surface waves have no impact as long as you keep the foils in the water -- this means observing and adjusting attitude. If you do it well, you can maintain full speed and only feel the attitude changes (no bumps). Though, if it is very windy and wavy on the ocean/lake it is more difficult to develop foiling speed to take off.

The reason why Candela is pioneering sub surface foils now is because it takes a reasonable amount of sensors and computation to avoid the foil breaching.

For the most part, you wouldn't want to take a sub surface foiling vessel flying out in a storm with significant swells, but that's not what most boating is anyway.

If you're an investor in OpenAI's for-profit unit, the very clear lawsuit target is D'Angelo. His extreme conflict of interest problem is a personal bankruptcy waiting to happen given the value destruction OpenAI has just (probably) suffered. Investors should be promptly slapping a multi billion dollar lawsuit down on the table: resign or else.

Then stop messing around and fully split off the for-profit unit, run by Altman. They're in perpetual conflict. The non-profit can use its ownership stake (liquidate it gradually) for funding for a very long time and can still pursue its mission of safe AGI. It should provide tens of billions of dollars in funding for the non-profit. The for-profit can then be unleashed to fully pursue commercialization related to GPT without hold-backs.

The absurd fantasy of the dual OpenAI missions co-existing in peace needs to die. They can't co-exist peacefully within one body, everything about their requirements to thrive going forward puts them at odds with each other (from speed, to compensation, to funding requirements, to management approach).
Also, people imagine PTSD comes specifically from war, starvation, physical injury, etc. but it actually comes from emotional trauma. Emotional trauma to children can be just as bad from a high conflict or high stress household, even if the family is financially secure.

Having rich parents that fight constantly and emotionally neglect their children is probably emotionally worse than being a homeless war refugee with kind and loving parents... I suspect PTSD is widespread among kids in the middle and upper class, but people categorically deny the possibility of it, and these kids may instead be diagnosed with something else.

The book "Simplicity Parenting" by Kim John Payne was really interesting, because he was actually a psychologist that worked with children in war refugee camps, and later worked with middle class American children from stressful households, and found many of them to be experiencing similar issues, with similar symptoms.

It's probably because you don't understand how the world works. Most things aren't revolutions they just allow us to good things more often and cheaper and so create wide spread "wealth". In this case imagine a doctor who isn't magically better than all doctors combined, but instead is the best of all doctors and specialists and performs very consistently and is available on 24/7 basis. It didn't revolutionize everything but I imagine the collective impact on health and lifespans will be tremendous.
From the parent: “Political uncertainty about the future energy system is jacking up the rate of return investors are demanding of gas plant projects without contracted revenues.”

Your argument about lobbyists creating certainty doesn’t follow. Not all people in an industry have the same interests (gas generators and gas producers both like gas but price impacting regulation will create divergences). Lobbyists may reduce certainty because, for example, a super convincing lobbyist might instigate changes to an staid regime. The cumulative impact of different, less effective lobbyists over time may wash out or it may cause branches.
“ Expect AI to continue spreading into more legal gray areas as companies take advantage of the lack of clarity on legal responsibility to raid and pillage our economy and societies.”

This is exactly what’s happening, it doesn’t even need ai just an algorithm that allows companies to have an excuse for denying care. If there is no human in the loop nobody is responsible. You can’t send an AI to jail so they can just abuse the system.

Judges need to force companies to stop using algorithms and allow approve all expenses when an algorithm is found to be illegal or potentially illegal and that will end the practice quickly. The burden of proof should be on the algorithm writer to show its legal

I don't think the time of commuting seems to change much: people just re-equilibrate and reconfigure to use the newly saved time/distance.

But, yes, you would expect to see significant clustering. Nonetheless, the most effective clustering since the advent of indoor plumbing is the cluster of clusters, the city, and I doubt that would change. The connectivity is just so much better than a lineal expansion of small towns along a corridor.

The good news is that one may use `expect` with Node's built-in test runner -- the result feels fairly similar to using expect with Jest.

Indeed, Node's test support can handle dynamic test creation, so one can do crazy things like https://github.com/andrewaylett/prepackage-checks/blob/main/... -- that dynamically asynchronously executes NPM builds from subdirectories, loading and running per-build expectations.
Haha. Yes. Basic risk aversion.

The fault goes deeper; they say X percent less counted in percentage points of the compared thing and not the baseline. If you then have multiple rows, the uselessness becomes evident.

In a few years' time, teenagers will be consuming shows and films made by their peers, not by streaming providers. They'll forgive and perhaps even appreciate the technical imperfections for the sake of uncensored, original content that fits perfectly with their cultural identity.

Actually, when processing power catches up, I'm expecting a movie engine with well-defined characters, scenes, entities, etc., so people will be able to share mostly text-based scenarios to watch on their hardware players.
This is a great point, and something that may be at least partially addressable with current methods (e.g. RLHF/SFT). Maybe (part of) what's missing is a tighter feedback loop between a) limitations experienced by the human users of models (e.g. "actually okay but just near the off limits stuff"), and b) model training signal.

Thank you for the insightful perspective!

Not only that, but there is a threshold where delivering features more quickly may indicate poorly thought-out, hard-to-maintain code. So you really need to have an experienced developer as a supervisor to assess quality of implementation, and not just look at the quantity of features delivered.

I've never had an interest in a "smart home", and I wonder if that leads to the bad business practices they talk about here.

If there were something truly compelling about smart homes, more people would adopt it, and there would be more innovation in connecting up the various pieces. I suspect it might compel manufacturers to get on the same page. Compare it to the way browser makers push and pull on browser standards, until they eventually reach a rough equilibrium, because everybody wants their web page to work on every browser.

Smart home products all have their uses, but they all feel like minor improvements at best. I suppose it might be nice to have my house hook up to my phone and say "He'll be home in 45 minutes, so let's start warming it up now, and turn on the front hall lights when he parks".

But I'll be honest that I just dread the idea of trying to control a light bulb with an app. I really looked into that, because I've got a bedside lamp that can be controlled from a wall switch, and a common pattern is "shut it off at the lamp, wake up, leave during daytime, find the wall switch doesn't work". But the option is either pulling out my phone, or walking over and turning it on by hand. Even the negligible effort of using my phone seems like too much compared to the $0 alternative.

That's just a trivial personal example, but it illustrates why I think the smart home idea just isn't compelling enough to produce the vast sum of money that would allow manufacturers to innovate without trying to squeeze out profits from every aspect. Maybe somebody will find the killer app at some point, but in the meantime it feels like (yet another) solution in search of a problem, and doing so in a way that irritates even those who feel it can solve their problem.
> However I'm willing to bet that we'll soon have something much better: you'll describe something and you'll get a full 3D scene, with 3D models, source of lights set up, etc.

I agree with this philosophy - Teach the AI to work with the same tools the human does. We already have a lot of human experts to refer to. Training material is everywhere.

There isn't a "text-to-video" expert we can query to help us refine the capabilities around SD. It's a one-shot, Jupiter-scale model with incomprehensible inertia. Contrast this with an expert-tuned model (i.e. natural language instructions) that can be nuanced precisely and to the the point of imperceptibility with a single sentence.

The other cool thing about the "use existing tools" path is that if the AI fails part way through, it's actually possible for a human operator to step in and attempt recovery.
1. “Just because they have power let’s give them more power.” This is a bad argument

2. There certainly are situations where you can refuse. And some one needs to ask you explicitly for it right now. Won’t be true when your face is a government id

I'll follow up on this and say: give Earthly a try! It's super easy to figure out if you've ever written a Dockerfile/Makefile.

If you like Earthly and feel limited by syntax, then try out Dagger.
The reasons are really not hypothetical. That being said though, I don’t personally believe that crypto will or necessarily needs to totally replace all fiat usage. It’s more along the lines of the realization that the possibility to have electronic money kept and transmitted outside of the fractionally reserved banking system is immediately useful.

Given the state of crypto adoption now, I can’t imagine a non-dystopian future a century from now where what we now call crypto or digital assets haven’t become a very boring and non-remarkable part of the civilizational fabric.

I can imagine dystopian futures where that’s the case though. One would be where the infrastructure we use to run crypto on (the internet, telecommunications) doesn’t exist. Another is where all the regulatory environments for digital assets that currently exist (UK, EU, Canada, etc) have been totally rolled back, and self-custody has been made a criminal offense. Probably some type of society straight out of hunger games.

> Why not just say "pip install idp-engine"...?

(I have nothing to do with IDP-Z3) This is the general pattern:

* If you are a developer: get sources and work on sources, because, probably, you want to add to them or modify them etc. Part of this experience may be creating a package and installing it with pip or some other package installation program, but it's not usually what other developers (contributors) would be working on.

* If you are a user: use the supported package manager to obtain the package and use it through documented interface.

I'm honestly not sure if this is why or how these instructions came to be, but this is a fairly common thing to do, so, w/o looking, I'd guess this is what it is.

Cool, but that’s not what you asked, and you’re moving the goalposts. I suggest you slow down and think about the pros/cons/tradeoffs instead of automatically going down the decision tree of this argument.
In any real sense the police "unions" are unique in that they're the only union that actively opposed and attacks other unions.

Every union other than the police unions is attacked because they "hurt the economy" (they don't, and they're the reason for most improvements to compensation and working hours normal people experience).
Every other union will refuse to cross picket lines, whereas police unions actively assault picket lines, and have repeatedly murdered strikers, and also covered up murders of strikers.

Police, and their union, are sufficiently anti-union that it's absurd that they're still a "police union" rather than a gang. After all the police union is the only one permitted to use force, and is the only one allowed to break the law, and the only one that gets to kill others.

I think this is probably too broad because it assumes a causal connection between gasoline and all of those differences. The industrial revolution had been decades underway before cheap oil, and would have continued if oil was never found in Pennslyvania. But cheap oil definitely helped speed it along faster.
