So, let me counter with, what is the cost of efficiency?

For example the 'entire tech economy' produces more efficient engines, devices that save on fertilizer planting crops, machines that sequence genes, etc. Attempting to handwave AI as a cost of this, unless you can otherwise explain, seems like you're saying "Climbing down from the trees was a mistake"
Yeah; this should've been well within some second-tier customer service manager's discretionary refund budget. Instead they've got a precedent-setting ruling that makes the chatbot a huge liability.
This is a very inaccurate picture of that period. Yeltsin wasn’t anyone’s puppet for sure and Russia was not treated as a colony. All economic struggles of that period happened for several purely internal reasons: transition from planning to market economy cannot happen instantly - a lot of processes had to adapt and recalibrate; rule of law was not established, because the legal system and law enforcement had to be reformed and a lot of new laws had to be written (e.g. modern law on bankruptcy was enacted only in 2000s IIRC); dissolution of USSR broke a lot of economic ties. The West actually helped a lot in that period of time, offering credits, even sending humanitarian aid. Western investment from major consumer brands like Unilever, Coca-Cola or P&G brought management skills and standards of work, entrepreneurial culture was heavily influenced by America etc.

Doing it all on one day sounds too hard.

We should stagger that over several days: Buses and large vehicles the first day, cars and small trucks the second day, and bikes and other remaining vehicles on the third day.
Yeah. I recently worked on a small web project being developed at a university. The project is written in flask, and it presents a reasonably simple UI on top of some data living in a mysql database.

When I started on the project, page loads often took 10 seconds or more. The web application is used by about 20 people and that was enough to bring their single beefy server to its knees. Someone in NY tried scraping the site the other week and the site became completely unresponsive. They resorted to banning the IP to keep the website up. The reasons it was slow were all the usual culprits - a misused ORM being the main one.

It’s a nice language, but I really felt like I’d been transported back in time a few decades working in it. It feels like I’m using a computer from the 90s where performance choices matter again because the language is so slow. And where dependency management is a circus of half working tools and half hearted attempts at versioning. Packages conflict with one another. Some “pinned” package versions have apparently rusted and won’t actually install on my computer. And the system to install packages locally was obviously bolted on, badly, long after the horse had left the gate.

It reminds me of working in C in the early 2000s. I never thought I’d say this but it makes server side JavaScript with npm look positively modern and fast by comparison.

It is very possible. For example Costco. At one point an executive tried to suggest raising the prices on their $1.50 hotdog and drink, the founder threatened to kill him if he ever suggested something like that again. That's a man who understands trust and what it means and how to lose it.

Plus trust is something that pays long term rewards, all this advertising that companies spend money on is less effective than my neighbor or friend saying "I've got this thing I love it, you should try it.".

Are you asking what if it was possible that a "context window" ceased to exist? In a different architecture than we currently use, I guess that's hypothetically possible.

As it is now, you can't fine tune on context. It would have almost no effect on the parameters.

Context is like giving your friend a magazine article and asking them to respond to it. Fine tuning is like throwing that magazine article into the ocean of all content they ever came across during their lifetime.
That’s actually a pretty good reason to flag an article. It’s not much different than any article mentioning politicians. People aren’t able to engage on articles surrounding musk or any of his companies intelligently.

The package manifest for maven is pom.xml. Sure it's got quirks - I might have the wrong version of a maven plugin it's got required directives for or something - but it's always there, it's declarative, and dependencies are listed in a consistent, predictable, universally parsable format (I don't even need maven, it's XML). It's also highly configurable via .mvn at project level so if you check that in chances are you can work around many weirdnesses.

And it's always there. If your IDE didn't generate it your maven archetype did.

What's the source of truth in any random pip project that I should look to as a package manifest? requirements.txt? Setup.cfg? Pyproject.toml? Setup.py? What if they're all there? Do they all agree? Should I cascade or defer to one? Merge the trees? What if none of the above exist? Pip certainly doesn't ensure any does.

As for parsing them, requirements.txt is the most barebones near-informationless manifest out there, and setup.py is init code - good luck trying to automate reading the dep tree reliably without side effects.
If i'm not mistaken, judge2020 meant that what's not suitable is looking through your AVP at your real monitor. The virtual display (glorified VNC or whatever) that you're saying is OK, I think the agree is also OK.

And I'd assume that yes, it would be torture to try to view a monitor through the AVP just due to the resolution loss. It would be like poorly downscaling the 4k/5k resolution of your 27" monitor to like 1366x768 but much worse since the pixels are not even staying lined up on a level grid but resampled at slightly diagonal angles as your head moves even a couple of degrees. I am pretty sure setting up 2 more big $1000 monitors left and right would be better than "center monitor + AVP with virtual apps left and right" (and it would save about $2000 lol).

> The debate would be for a new meaning of the term open source, which has already been established.

Yes, that's what I'm saying, that people are interrogating whether that (inarguably) already established (arguably) "true meaning" is a good one.

I'm certainly sympathetic to the frustration people feel at new debates popping up over definitions that they feel are already perfectly good. But it's not up to you or anyone else individually; the way people use language broadly evolves all the time. It's useful to advocate for why the existing definition you prefer is the right one, but less useful to primarily focus on "we already have a definition of this, that's the only thing it could ever possibly mean!".

Putin has exactly one strategy: to remain in power. The revival of the empire has absolutely nothing to do with this. The annexation of Crimea was needed not to revive the empire, but to discredit the idea of revolution in Ukraine that happend in 2014. The war in Ukraine - is the price for the revolution that Putin forced Ukraine to pay, because if the revolution does not have a price, the revolution will happen in Russia

The guy who bought the Chevy Tahoe for $1 [0] isn't going to get it, though. And that's also perfectly sensible.

But at some point we're going to see more cases in the grey area in between. What's the important difference?

In both cases I think the result would be the same if the chatbot had been a human. GM doesn't have to honour every promise a sales rep makes, even if that rep is nominally entitled to enter into contracts for the company - otherwise someone might agree to sell their whole stock to an accomplice for $1. The same applies to Air Canada, my buddy there can't "advise" me I get free flights for life and have that honoured.

So where is the line? Is it about good faith by the customer, or about what a reasonable person might think the company would offer them?

It does actually.

Panicking here would mean every older app has to update their code to support Xbox.

In their defense, if the latest version of a module has a CVE, then it's either a 0-day, or an unsupported module.

If you want to see an approximation of in warehouse pricing you need to select same day delivery which is local delivery via instacart. For me the current price for ground beef via that manner is $4.90 per lb. The prices in warehouse are usually still a little lower.
I hope they do become huge liabilities as it's irresponsible. I'm as excited as the next guy about the future, but companies shoehorning terrible "AI" to replace support channels is infuriating. The -only- good interaction I've had with a chatbot was the one Amazon uses or used to use, where you could click from a few options, and it'd just issue you a refund.
No one's going to make you use vim, don't worry. But I don't find ^x vs jk:x compelling as a reason not to. Nor the difference between opening instantly (nano) vs. opening instantly (neovim). But I might :q! out of more commits than you do, who knows.

I used nano for about five years for git commits before I decided to embrace the Vim Way. No need to feel defensive about it, it's there for a reason.

Nope - COBOL was supposed to make programming a minimum wage job back in the 60s? 70s? RAD environments ditto (VBasic, Clipper, DBase, etc), 'No-Code' - ditto...

40 years later... I haven't been replaced.

Aside from all the tech. challenges with AI - the legal stuff hasn't been figured out yet. Epic is banning AI generated assets from their marketplace due to copyright concerns, Air Canada was just required to compensate customers for chat bot errors (so, how would that scale to banking? medical? much higher stakes), and we're still figuring out what the rules are around training data.

And that doesn't cover the tech. problems with hallucinations, bad code, etc etc.

I anticipate AI just being IDE++ (good for code exploration, generating 'skeleton's for programs, etc) for at least another 10 years. After that, it might be more capable. In short - AI still needs an 'expert' to vet its work :-D

If I am trying to interact with a company and they tell me to use their chatbot, I expect that chatbot to provide me with accurate answers 100% of the time (or to say it can't help me in the event that I ask a question that it's not meant to solve, and connect me to a representative who can).

If I have to double-triple check elsewhere to make sure that the chatbot is correct, then what's the point of using the chat bot in the first place? If you can't trust it 99% of the time, or if the company says "use this, but nothing it says should be taken as fact", then why would i waste my time?

Sounds like a parallel to Tasmania: the tech level kept ratcheting down, as they lost tech like crops and had no way to regain them, so every loss was permanent. Slowly, by simple drift in small populations, and occasionally abruptly, in environmental or social shocks. (The relationship of absolute population size to progress may be one of the most important facts about human history and why we only developed shockingly recently.)

I understand this will come with a reflexive downvote from many who don’t like the outcome, but this has been warned about for decades: Administrative law isn’t. The executive has no right to act as the police, legislative, and judiciary at the same time.

This is true even if it gives you the outcomes you personally want.

The kickstarter model is awesome and should be used more but it clearly doesn't fully solve the problem. It works great for kickstarter because kickstarter projects aren't public goods (if you pay the money you get the thing you paid money for). In general it doesn't make as much sense for open source because you get the same thing whether you pay or not (unless you're the tiebreaker), so your incentive to pay is limited.

I think there are a few different but related concepts bundled in “law enforcement” here.

A low-trust authoritarian state that restricts personal freedoms has to use heavy handed policing/secret policing with severe punishments to maintain that system. Without heavy policing the state would probably collapse internally.

A regular place needs policing to prevent the kinds of crimes we consider unambiguously bad like murder, theft, rape. Like I mentioned elsewhere trust/cooperation is game theoretical, and I think that shows up in our genes such that there are always some latent number of people predisposed to antisocial behavior. So you always need that.

But in the second case, the level of trust does reflect how much policing you need. If there is not much crime you don’t need that many police. You probably do always need some but the real world demonstrates that some places just have more criminality (low trust) and require more police.

> chatbot a huge liability

This is an appropriate outcome, in my view. I'm as pro-AI as they come. But I also recognize that without a clear standard of service delivery, and in an industry inundated with M&A instead of competition, that a chatbot isn't a helpful thing but a labor cost reduction initiative.
There is. A quick Google search found several companies near me who will by scrap metal off of me.

The problem is that a pound of aluminum goes for about $0.45.

That does not come close for paying for a weekly curbside pickup service, which is what most individuals use for recycling.

Heck, they probably wouldn't even take an unsorted collection of "recyclables". The company I am looking at drops the price for unspecified "dirty" aluminum to $0.25 per pound.
Single use plastic bags are not really a problem in the amount of plastic they use, these are something like 5 grams. They are actually better in that regard than most reusable bags because it takes a lot of reuses to beat that, often more than their typical lifespan.

Where they are a problem however is that they have a tendency to fly away and end up where you don't want them. In the ocean, in nature, littering the city, they are en eyesore, cause problem with some animals, and end up as microplastics everywhere.

Sturdier, paid-for bags may not result in less plastic being used, but it results in less litter, which is good. And yes, it works. Some people will continuously pay their 10 cents, grumble and throw away their bags, but most will do the smart thing and just reuse their bags.
Why are you asking? I have no idea, neither I care about it. If I want to hit a diversity target, I just go to a specific channel, be it some refugee job board, a women in tech community or anything else. If someone unintended sneaks through it, fine, as long as they don’t lie to me.

honestly, if unions weren't regulated, i suspect they'd be a lot more powerful.

note that the NLRB was established directly in response to decades of labor insurgency. a major compromise of the new deal was forcing employers to cease armed conflict with unions. the bar for recognition was very high, but the most powerful unions easily passed it, and legitimacy led to recuperation.
The Deuce Editor Architecture
Deuce is an Emacs-like editor, for the Dylan programming language. It is a descendant of ZWEI, the Lisp Machine's Emacs, and made some interesting implementation decisions in representing the contents of its buffers, which made it easy to then make some powerful features, most notably composite buffers, which are pieced together fragments pulled in from different files, and changes in the composite buffer can then be pushed out to all the source files.

Some more details beyond the above link can be found in this comment [2] from comp.lang.dylan by Scott McKay, the original author of Deuce
