Would it be possible to make an even more negative interpretation of this comment? I don’t think so.

You irritation (to the extreme, I mean you just linked the deep state with assholes) is probably due to powerlessness in fixing the issue, let alone interpreting it properly.

However, it is still a widely-acknowledged idea that an unhinged state like the former-USSR-newly-Putin-land makes people afraid of not being able to feed themselves the next day.

I don’t suppose you oppose the idea that when the state organize something, civil servants’ interests are so badly aligned with the proper execution of the plan that it’s a shitshow every single time. And with entirely incompetent people in power, one’s better off doing the opposite of what regularly-proven liars tell them to do.

If you’re upset, is it because you envision lying as a normal form of citizen management? How’s that going for your camp? Do you feel that people trust you?
“All data in of itself is useless”…what does that even mean? That’s like saying a chair in of itself is useless because no one is sitting in it. And this could be extrapolated to saying everything is useless.

Data’s usefulness stems first from its many defining factors, which validates it, and then opens doors to using that data to explore insights.
It’s the nature of the study that parent comment is referring to.

If a study is self-reporting, it’s an observational study which can only establish correlation, meaning the study can only say, “there might be something here that warrants a further research”.

A clinical trial is needed to establish causation.

So while 10k sample size reduces the error bars, it only increases the confidence that there might be something here worth doing a more rigorous study later.

AOL became popular alongside the growth of Windows so most people think of them together. But they supported DOS-only customers with a GeoWorks client.

The irony of GEOS is that it was known for having low hardware requirements to run, but software development for it was done on Sun workstations. There wasn't a DOS SDK until well after Windows had won the desktop.

You'd likely find the experience pretty miserable, not so much because of the C compiler - Steve did a great job with that - but actually because of the filesystem. Coherent was around for a long time, remember; it used a very classic V6 UNIX filesystem, complete with odd endianness of 32-bit fields in the inode and most significantly, the classic 14-character file name length.

That right there will be an even bigger showstopper for the build scripts of most things than anything else. During the early 90's we could run GCC and Comeau C++ and all that kind of thing on Coherent fine because those codebases were still built for wide portability even though things like BSD FFS had opened that up - there were still plenty of machines running System III and System V code that most people took care not to create gratuitous collisions if truncation happened. Even shortly post the advent of Linux, that had changed dramatically and basically turned on its head and the effort involved in backporting to any flavour of classic UNIX (not just Coherent) quickly became almost impossible.

Honestly, you should just go read Acemoglu’s “Power and Progress” as the other comment suggested. It’s written for a popular audience. Many of these assertions are wrong and intentionally elide huge swathes of the actual history. I dunno who would bother to engage with these wall text posts you make on here.

I had a local entrepreneur showing me their website/product at a meetup a while ago, and after scrolling a bit through an info page, I unconsciously switched to desktop mode to get more information density.

The entrepreneur, who was watching me interact with the site, asked me what I was doing, and was confused at why I'd go to desktop mode. That, in his mind, was too information dense. But I wanted to see all the information at once without scrolling around, my eyes can scroll fine.

I guess it goes to show it should be a consideration, given its variance.

With somewhat younger kids (preschool), they too are out the door by 07:35-07:40, but it's me who's walking them to their facilities, which means there's no way I could possibly start working before 09:00, or before 09:30 if I don't want to start on an empty stomach.

I can imagine a few legitimate uses for concealed cameras, but not this one and certainly not the way it was marketed.

To make an analogy let's say I'm a gas station, gasoline has lots of great uses but also some nefarious uses. If somebody comes fills a jerry can, pays, and drives off but then burns their neighbors house down with said gas. Obviously I wouldn't be at fault.

However if someone comes in, says "I'd like gas to burn down my neighbor's house" and I say "No problem, this our top selling house burning gas, I can also give you a deal if you buy matches at the same time" and then they burn the neighbors house down I would absolutely be morally and legally liable.

I'm very frustrated with FAANGs attitude that they can't possibly review all their products or their interactions with customers. That's their damn problem and if they can't find the resources to stop themselves from willfully breaking the law then perhaps they shouldn't exist.
Looks very cool. Happy to see some innovation in a space where I feel some people are oddly resistant to change (as we see in a few cases in this thread).

The concept of workspaces makes alot of sense to me, and I love the UI for "you're connected to [x], do you want to change it?"

Not sure if this is just my computer but the `imageview` preview feature seems to have pretty high latency. Looking at over a second to preview a larger jpeg (12MB), which opens <300ms in Mac's Preview or Chrome. This issue is also there if I switch between workspaces (though it's not as bad as on first load).
I often work on documents or content in ChatGPT and I needed a way to refer to previous messages and drafts, and to combine them or pull ideas from them into new drafts or iterations.

My first goal was to simply implement message numbering so I could refer to messages by number in the chat. It took a LOT of tuning to make ChatGPT do that reliably.

Once I got that working I started taking it further to enable more advanced editing commands on ranges of messages, and automation of tasks with simple command line functions.

It saves me a ton of time and a lot of cutting and pasting. Also the ability to tag messages in a chat and then pull them by tag to use for a new draft is useful.

Now that I have this working I have also added other features - only available in the GPT version - that are increasingly more powerful and productive for really using ChatGPT to develop content and ideas systematically.

It's way better than constantly copying and pasting previous messages into new messages to ask ChatGPT to do stuff with them.

Now for example, I simply type "Make //5 longer and combine with //7" to make message 5 longer and merge it with message 7. Big time saver!

But there are a lot of other more powerful commands I've built with this, and that others can build as well, for speeding up repetitive tasks in ChatGPT.

Magical thinking and bitching because you can't get something (good security) for nothing (absolutely painless). Authentication is based on something you have or something you know.
There are no universal
rule of design. You ragging about a mention of whitespace, as if whitespace is universally a bad idea, means you are just judging a book by its cover and only have the cursory understanding of the matter that is typical of most programmers.

Remember, good design is not only what the cool kids do or what FAANG might believe it is. Good design is timeless. Good design is a conversation with the product. Sometimes whitespace is good, sometimes it is not. You saying whitespace is a bad idea is as misinformed as a naive designer saying whitespace is king.

That said, I recommend Refactoring UI, but I recommend more anything on Dieter Rams or the book "The Design of Everyday Things" by Donald A. Norman.

The price needs to get cheaper, not more expensive.

Software is not about charging a percent of value derived. It’s based on minimal cost and providing more capability.

Should IDEs cost $1000 because they save so much time?
I wish I heard this advice at the time I was working on my dissertation: everyone just insisted that the right way was to use LaTeX and I just bought into it. At some point so much so that I made my slides with beamers and the animations in TikZ. Clearly I only started being productive when I had real data to present and I decided to switch to Inkscape for graphics and PowerPoint for slides. Leaving academia and being able to write all my documents in word or markdown has been a huge relief.
SFU replaced the posix subsystem with an OpenBSD port and more capable thing for NT/2000 etc.

SFU was so much later to the game, while BOW ran on Windows 3.1 which would have been great had it had far bigger appeal as you could just run it on such lesser machines. The best part being no formatting, no device drivers, or changes to the OS at all. I just copied over to my PS/2, and was playing hack 1.03 in no time.
For me, I'm most productive after hours because during the day, I get too many pings and escalations. After hours is the only time I can focus and get deep work done myself. This is something I'd really like to improve, but I'm really not sure how. I've tried creating discussion groups and many other approaches to make knowledge transfer more efficient. However, the real issue is company growth. A huge recent period of growth has meant a focus on training people. This is only the kind of thing I could defend against if I were 1-2 ranks higher in the company, and honestly, this lack of longterm growth planning is one of the reasons I would leave my company.

One approach I've been thinking of experimenting with is saving everything I say, and using an LLM with my custom knowledge base to answer a question. I actually think a borg-like communication structure in a company could be really efficient. If every communication was publicly available, and we used ML to make that information consistent and to answer queries, I think you could achieve coherence with a company much faster, move as a unit much faster, and get a lot more done.

However, it's still a pipe dream at this point due to the context length limits. The actual amount of important context at a company is many times what a model can keep in mind now. As models get bigger, or if a group can run multiple models many times to make the company info widely consistent, it would be much better.

For instance imagine now, 30 people at your company work on one project, and 50 people work on another. They might take a slightly different definition for a term, and do work which is ultimately counterproductive to each other. Usually, it takes a conflict arising to resolve this, and people are long stuck with the mutually-incorrect definition. If an ML algorithm can look at everything both groups are saying and point out inefficiencies, I think you could get more cohesion, especially before problems get big enough to be a drain.

That being said, this type of system is more of a pipe dream, and I don't think it will be feasible for a few more years. In the meantime, I'm struggling how to balance communication with work. Advice appreciated.

> I'm not sure how that would work here. Given that they are primarily Israeli jets in the air, UN member states would need to be willing to shoot down Israeli jets to enforce the no-fly zone.

Sure, but enforcing a no-fly zone isn't going to war. And I'm sure they'd shoot down Hamas jets as well, so it's fair.

> What are those existing resolutions they could reach for?

There's a big list of resolutions [1], resolution 54 [2] from the security council in 1948 ordering everyone to desist from further military action is probably technically still in force and applicable.

In the general assembly, you've got resolution 181 [3] which sets a partition plan for Mandatory Palestine of 1947 which didn't happen. And there's many years of annual calls for Israel to withdrawl from the occupied territories, etc, between about 1967 and about 1984. Unfortunately, many of the Wikipedia links to general council resolutions don't currently work, so I'm relying on titles.

Anyway, if the UN orders a partition in 1947, and it hasn't happened by 2023, but they still say oh hey, do this thing... either the UN doesn't have much power or it isn't willing to use it.

I found Titan keys to be redundant and less convenient than all of the various features YK possess. Also, I don't trust Google to hold all aspects of my A3E.
The other big challenge was to make this whole editor fit into 1500 characters which is the limit for a Custom Instruction.

Most of my prompts that I build for work are very large and complicated -- at least many pages long on average - because we are developing intelligent agents with a lot of functionality in them.

So I took it as a fun weekend activity to try to pack as much functionality into this EXTREMELY SMALL character limit as I could, refining many many times to make all fit and work reliably. Almost fits on a T-Shirt!

I also had to make it work in both GPT 4 and 3.5 (not all of it behaves well in 3.5). I totally geeked out on this for 2 days and had a blast. But what's great is that in the end I got something truly useful (and I think other people who seriously use ChatGPT for content generation will agree).
I just cobbled together IRC 2.9. I don't see why anything else more useful could build. Ive also built Apache 1.3.1 and gotten it to run.

It's really cool how BOW can totally use winsock, and bridge that gap of Unix networking tools on Windows 3.1
It's not based on V6, although it was basically created as a clone of it (and on the PDP-11, no less - the x86 versions of Coherent until 4.x were basically just minimal ports that kept the PDP-11's classic 16-bit flavour). It was a very very good clone, enough that a lawsuit was threatened and Dennis Ritchie himself got pulled into checking that it wasn't derived from any UNIX source - see dmr's comment at https://groups.google.com/g/alt.folklore.computers/c/_ZaYeY4...

I feel like Sublime Text showed the best of it. You purchase the new license every new major version.
Affinity apps are the same. Acorn. Alfred. And a lot more.
There are certainly some apps that release a major update every year. But in that case you pay for work already done. In case if you pay for subscription, you are going to see minor updates “bug fixes”.

I don’t see a reason for an indie developer to charge subscription, if there is no server cost. New versions should just make the app interesting for more users, so the income should be flowing constantly every month.

Anyway, I just personally don’t support subscription based apps and never will.
I remember the pearl-clutching satanic panic-esque concern trolling a lot of politicians and advocacy groups extolled when Doom was at its peak popularity. 30 years later and evidence to the contrary, the same types of people are doing the same thing with modern games like GTA6.

> In the Java 11+ world you are no longer in the build-once-run-everywhere model and you unfortunately are semi-required to build platform specific bundle

That feels as an overstatement to me. You only need to build something platform specific if you want to _ship a JRE_, normal JAR works as usual if you expect users to have java or are happy with providing standard JDK. Sure jpackage seems nice but all the commercial end-user software I see bundles JRE only for windows and lands everyone else a nice fat jar.
Fair enough, fair enough. Also I'm a data hoarder too, have been since pre-reddit. internet high five. :) I've gotten a lot of mileage (at least 15 years) off of centralizing all my storage, and centralizing all my compute, but _not_ having them be the same box. YMMV, of course.

Unrelated, cool, I hadn't heard of any of those 4 programs, I'm googling now and some look useful. Thanks! Possibly saving me some time in my next project...
And when you spend that - you don't know if your model will be a damp squib like Bard's original release. Or if you've scraped the wrong stuff from the internet, and you'll get shitty results because you didn't train on a million pirated ebooks.

This just screams to me that we don’t have a clue what we’re doing. We know how to build various model architectures and train them, but if we can’t even roughly predict how they’ll perform then that really says a lot about our lack of understanding.

Most of the people replying to my original comment seem to have dropped the “in principle” qualifier when interpreting my remarks. That’s quite frustrating because it changes the whole meaning of my comment. I think the answer is that there isn’t anything in principle stopping us from cheaply training powerful AIs. We just don’t know how to do it at this point.
Hey. Microsoft's SFU[1] is alive and well, back when I was running servers getting DDoSed by chargen reflection, as far as I can tell, most of the reflectors were running chargen from SFU.
