If OpenAI hits a wall and the LLM/GPT trail runs dry, or if regulation somehow stifles the industry, it would be a very smart move to offer liquidity now while the fortunes are there for the taking.

I find that files under revision control have one awesome property:

they can be ruthlessly minimal.

The intermediate note-to-self stuff, the reference material, the stuff that was cancelled, all can be deleted.

But you have the peace of mind that you can get it back.

This might be especially important if it is a text file you run your life with.

Converting code can be challenging. The cake code has been successfully converted. null-checks are not ready, and something similar already happened to c#.

The experience is similar to changing a header file to use a const argument where previously the argument was non-const. This change will propagate everywhere.

I also think a similar experience is converting JavaScript to typescript.
The type system will complain before it stabilizes.
You can always use "unsigned char[N]" for that, you know, which is more realiable. You can even union it with an integer type for more convenient access, although please use static_assert to verify that the overlap is exact.

All in all, "it's very easy and straightforward to control the size and padding of a struct's fields in portable manner" is yet another C's imaginary advantage: it's not that straightforward or simple. The padding especially has always been a thorny issue.

Thanks for the post - I put together the tool above. I tried to strike a balance between being concise but also capturing all the important details. For that reason, the tool is hit or miss on longer (> 45 min) videos - the summary on this video is good but I've seen it omit important details on other long videos. The tool also captures relevant screenshots for each section.

Hopefully it's helpful. You can summarize additional videos by submitting a youtube URL in the nav bar or the home page. Also, feedback welcome!

Discussed at the time (38 comments): <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28379872>

The Atlantic piece has a different focus --- that much of the Internet (both Web and other venues) are fake, whilst the Reddit piece addresses both that and the fact that true organic sites are getting harder to find. But yes, the slide's been commented on widely for years now. And by "years", I'd argue that the Atlantic's piece itself came after years of that slide.

I remembering seeing a product at CES years ago which was sort of like an air bag for walking. You would wear it on your hip like a fanny pack, and if you fell, it would expand into a large cushion.

I have a feeling this was never released, since I haven't heard about it since. I wonder why. It seemed like a really smart idea.

(By "seeing", I mean I saw a video from The Verge, CNET, or some other news organization covering CES. I've never been to CES in person.)

I think the more you outsource "what is worth my time" the less you're actually getting an answer about what's worth YOUR time. The more you rule out the possibility of surprise up front, the less well-informed your assumption about worth can possibly be.

There are FAR too many dimensions like word choice, sentence style, allusion, etc, that resist effective summarization.

The significant point in many of these discussions is glossing over the outliers, the 2% whose hardware+wetware doesn't line up with the majority of humans.

Historically, globally, throughout history there has always been such outliers (Gender in Bugis-Makassar society, Sistagirls in Torres Strait groups, etc).

> when we've been running with a definition of

The "we" in a global setting and sans context is an issue, there's a plurality of definitions that are used depending on focus and degree of technical detail.

Richard Dawkins use of "sex" in recent interviews is a classic example, he deftly occludes the 2% of humans that don't neatly fall into M|F buckets by taking a strictly reproductive evolutionary razor to the question and responds (as best I recall) that "there are only two (reproductive) sexes, Males (viable sperm producers), and Females (viable egg producers) .. that's just (reproductive) biology".

That's a bit of a mean spirited one way mapping from two reproductive buckets to those humans that cleanly fall into those buckets.

Dawkins avoids and hopes the audience doesn't press on whether all humans fit into one or the other bucket (they don't) and of course his interviewer at the time doesn't press.

(The interviewer was Piers Morgan who famously can only handle bicameral two party systems: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JD7Ol0gz11k )

> a definition of sex that assumed a natural expression of hormones.

that assumed a majority case expression of hormones, sure.

Still, exceptions have always existed, been recognised (whether embraced or hated), and sometimes in history been given a place as part of society.
thats still common in less sophisticated startups and markets (they think they are sophisticated though, it just depends on which VCs gave them which legal counsel)

> literally the only company that is MILES ahead of its competition

Its worth noting that, at least when working in a truly novel and untested industry, whoever is leading the pack would likely be the first to know when they tech hits a dead end.

By no means am I saying that's actually the case, but there is still a real possibility that LLMs and the underlying architecture don't pan out with regards to the company's goal of developing anything resembling an AGI. If there is a core challenge with the architecture that doesn't scale, OpenAI would just run into the wall when everyone else was still MILES back.
> get some life insurance

Be super careful though, as many insurance companies (not only life insurance) just seem like scams. With you only that finding at the worse possible time, after the event.

I've known many world-class programmers who use Emacs, among them Kalman Reti and Steve Summit.

Most of the diehard Vim users I encountered were kind of in the DUVASWUV camp (DHH Uses Vim And So We Use Vim), i.e., they came to it as part of the whole Rails memeplex. That said, vi(m) and Emacs used to share the throne as the canonical Unix wizard editors because they were nearly ubiquitously available, consistent in UI across the decades, and they rewarded proficiency (each in their own way). It was a reliable assumption that a halfway decent programmer in the open-source tradition would be quite familiar with one or the other, if not both.
i could not figure out how to use this. It would help to show some examples or one-click ideas. (and yes, i am someone who could use B2B leads).

It’s hard to imagine that ownership composes all that well.
You yourself just admitted that there "isn't a really great open source platform", so what exactly was ignorant about my request?

I have spent days searching for an affordable solution that meets my requirements. I know there are a lot of people that want the same thing, have done their own research, and have reached a similar conclusion. What we want simply does not exist.

I will stop posting this kind of comment when someone finally gives me a straight answer, but no one has done that yet.

Essentially the spec was formally verified, but it turned out that the formal definition of "secure" they used wasn't sufficient. Formal verification only works if you properly define all the security relavent properties that need to be proven, and the process of defining them can have errors itself.

One underappreciated aspect of falls is the cognitive dimension. A huge number of falls happen at night when someone wakes up, often to go to the bathroom. If you have poor balance and you're not very strong, it takes planning and being careful to not fall. In the middle of the night when it's dark and someone is groggy, they're at their most dangerous. Older people with dementia are in an even worse position with respect to planning and safety awareness. When you put it all together, it's a recipe for an accident, and often this happens in the bathroom where there are a lot of hard surfaces that can do a lot of damage in a fall.

A relative of mine has done some work in this area and worked in a number of assisted living facilities, and this is an incredibly common scenario. I bet there's a bunch of tech and/or therapy that could help in some of these dimensions that would help. Just for example, one common scenario is that someone wakes up in the middle of the night and doesn't want to turn on the light because they don't want to wake up their partner. Often if their partner has told them explicitly (sometimes after a previous fall) to just turn on the light, they won't do it. Just making that automatic and not a choice might make a difference.
The question this leaves unanswered is: why not VS Code?

I don't know if MS built VS Code deliberately to compete with Atom, and I don't know if they bought GH to kill Atom. But once they had Atom in their hands, it only made sense to kill off Atom - they're extremely similar.

They're both: (1) free Electron-based text editors that (2) are highly extendable in JS, are (3) powerful enough to use as IDEs, but (4) more lightweight than Visual Studio or the JetBrains stuff, and (5) use now-standard UI conventions unlike Vim or Emacs.

And using VS Code opens up the ecosystem of the most popular code editor in the world. There's more plugins, more eyes to catch bugs, and one of the richest companies in tech funding improvements on it. With nothing distinguishing it, Pulsar faces an enormous uphill battle if it wants to compete with that.

Maybe I'm missing something and Atom/Pulsar have some killer features that VS Code doesn't and won't ever have. Or maybe you just prefer using Pulsar, which...fair enough.
It depends on ones trust in public markets. If a large firm is only held by a few parties, then the public markets provide little benefit to the firm or stakeholders as any significant share movement would require a private deal anyway.
Intuitively having to press more keys in order to accomplish an action sounds like it would be slower than a single key combo. Of course this fails to account for the fact that pressing something like Option+Fn+Backspace to forward-delete a word is far more awkward than f-d and therefore takes longer.
Where did those basic (<100 loc) jQuery / XHR wrappers go that simply hijacked all links & forms and turned them into AJAX requests? That seemed like the sweet spot of having apps that worked well for search engines to index (SSR) and yet still offered better page transitions than regular full-page-load requests when you had JavaScript enabled.
I'm not sure if you are talking about real factory or making a Factorio reference.
This is nice. I like this, and I like how responsive it is.

It does illustrate a common issue with doing anything at all with Amazon: search manipulation. You can't search on Amazon for, say, 32 gigs while specifying either one 32 gig DIMM or two 16 gig (or, I suppose, four 8 gig) DIMMs.

For example, the listing this site offers is, "DDR5 32GB 6000MHz Ram (16GB×2 PC5-48000)", yet it has "32 GB", quantity 1.

Although I just bought memory and won't need more for a while, this site shows that I got an excellent price (two 32 gig DDR5-6000 for $178 USD).

When you put it that way it kind of reminds me of FTX, they too were all about leading the way on regulation. IIRC the impetus for the entire thing coming crashing down was because the other big exchange's owner thought it was extremely hypocritical how they talked about inviting regulation while operating just like most other crypto firms, completely outside of decent financial controls.

Of course not to imply that OpenAI is the same as FTX.

Sure ownership protects against more things. But some coding patterns are impossible under it.
I found out recently there's a place on the web, right now, that has all the charm and personality of the "homepages" of the 90s and early 00s.

A place where you can make your own little corner of the web, share it with friends, find others with overlapping interests, etc. It can be uniquely yours, and even if there are hundreds of others, yours is unique because it's yours.

And believe it or not, it's... Twitch. Seriously- small, personal Twitch streams, usually with fewer than ~50 views.

And I think this emergence is quite poetic, because the exact same thing that killed the "old" web - that is, nearly unlimited bandwidth for streaming rich media - is the thing that makes Twitch possible.

Just open Twitch, click around, search for something that interests you, and you'll find someone streaming in their cozy room, possibly on camera or possibly with a cute PNG or 3D avatar, talking about that topic, interacting with chat, etc. It's a really nice world there, if you know where to look and what to filter out.
I used to use and love Atom, but it was pretty slow, to be honest. I switched to VSCode after it was unsupported by Microsoft for a while, and I've been happy with the switch. I wasn't aware of this fork at the time. Curious if improvements have been made since then, but I'm very happy with VSCode at the moment.
Hi! If you’ve ever thought about something like using GraphQL for something like this.. You might like Hasura. (Obligatory I work for Hasura)

We’ve got an OpenAPI import and you can setup cron-jobs or one-off jobs and do things like load in headers from the environment variables to pass through. There isn’t currently an easy journey for chaining multiple calls together without writing any code at all, but you can wrap pretty much any API endpoint via OpenAPI import or a custom action, and you can even make minor edits to things like the API contract format to change aliases/naming.

Our goal is to join all the things, databases and API’s. Most people know us for instant GraphQL API’s that give you CRUD on your database, but we also wrap APIs.

Not sure if something like this would fit your use-case and do check out some of the other things mentioned, but depending what you are trying to do I think Hasura might potentially work.

You can find out more here: https://hasura.io
> VS Code is actually the reason why Atom eventually died. In 2018, Microsoft acquired GitHub, the world’s largest open source hosting platform, to get premier mind share of developers, and as part of that plan, Microsoft also wanted as many developers as possible to do all their coding using an editor controlled by Microsoft.

I was nodding my head for the first half of this but then it went full conspiracy. Is VSCode really all that "controlled by Microsoft"? It's also open source. Maybe I'm naive, but I'm pretty sure VSCode killed Atom by being way faster and easier to develop plugins for.
> But you could get most of the benefit by just isoheaping (strictly allocate different types in different heaps).

Can you elaborate on this? I've been reading up on memory allocation algorithms and most of them seem to favor segregation of blocks by element size instead. Are there additional benefits to coming up with a complex typing scheme for a custom memory allocation interface?
Yeah I dont see what you’re seeing. Ignoring research, OpenAI is bringing tools to market that nobody else to quite close to yet. Yes, they are getting closer but not as you describe it.
Email is federated, but I don't see how that means "any platform using Git" now has federated merge requests?
Right, they have software controls in place to prevent my trackpad buzzing for an hour straight. Good point. I’d assume Apple devs thought about how this could be abused, thought ahead, put a circuit breaker in there and said “call the api as much as you like”.
I think the easily provable part of this is “unidentified”.

Unsolicited and unidentified should be banned, with users being able to opt-in to any lowered bar (which would count as solicited) if they like.

If businesses or political actors start sending robots to shout messages into your home from the street, without some opt-in, they would be banned.

I would be happy for all unsolicited messages (mail, email, text, voice) without a specific purpose related to a relationship or related to unavoidable impact on the receiver be outlawed.

Citizens that were ok with unsolicited or unidentified advertising or political messages could opt into the mediums they were ok receiving such messages on.

Ah, yes, no postdoc has ever been ground down by endless repetitive labor.
Ehh I would disagree here. Yes, prettier uses the classic pretty printing paper, but almost every pretty printer does in some form. And even then it’s subjective how you compile the actual syntax down to the printer elements. Prettier uses a very thick layer of complicated translation rules to get the printing just right. Especially with JSX and TypeScript. It’s honestly just good old testing and labor that makes it good. And even then I anticipate more than a few comments decrying prettier’s formatting. You can’t please everybody. That’s why it’s prettier not prettiest

I guess you are not very familiar with addiction?

> the moralistic explanation

It is not a moralistic claim at all. Quite the opposite. It's a very common human struggle and to realise you are trapped in an addiction is the way to break free. Understanding that there it's something in the addictive substance that hooks humans, means it's not your fault. It lets you escape the crushing feelings of shame, blame and weakness. Better still, there are a lot of resources about recovering from addiction.

> "the inner food-addict concocting excuses for an XXL pizza"?

Ok so this is not a barb but jargon. Your inner-addict is a personification of the self-talk that tries to pull you back into an addiction. Your inner-addict is like the cartoon devil on your shoulder. You are not an addict anymore, but you still carry this annoying little inner-addict that you sometimes just have tell to shut the hell up.

For example, this little devil might be pestering you non-stop (what might be called 'food noise' these days) but the funnier aspect I wanted to reference is how your inner-addict comes up with the dumbest reasons to break your sobriety. These absurd reasons just pop in your head and if you are not paying enough attention, you might believe them. However if you manage to take a beat, you can realise it's the most laughably absurd nonsense but you were nearly tricked e.g. "I will never be a great writer if I don't smoke", "it's amazing how little I crave a donut, I should eat one just to prove how much I am not interested in them", "I should celebrate my 100 days sober with a cocktail!".

You can see how "I should get fat again to not be seen" has the suggestion of one these absurd justifications. If someone has lost a lot of weight they will have been through absolute hell with months of deprivation and struggle. It's a massive achievement. A rationalisation to excuse throwing away all that effort is insane but that is how addictions work.

> consistent with the notion from evolutionary theory

Ok, kind of funny. Evolutionary psychology suffers from "just-so-stories". It is possible to tell a nice story, but they have no epistemic value because there is no limit to the number of nice sounding stories and they are untestable. "Consistent with evolution" should only be said as a punchline. To be blunt, the story itself is speculative Freudian subconscious schlock which is why I believe I hear something similar from those fresh from therapy.
