> Recently, I began playing Go

Yeah I didn't need to read the rest (did anyways) to know where this was going... I played Go with my father in law once. He said to me:

"What, I thought you were supposed to be smart?"

It was indeed humbling. I do not still play Go.
Correlates with the relatively high number of executives I know who do not drink alcohol.
Amazon has been booking profits for the better part of a decade now.
Do you have link to that conversion? I wanna use containers to provision the pis, such a pain.
Yeah, source controlling the configurations, then cross-collaboration on teams isn't supported, but something interesting to explore especially with engineers and PMs collaborating together on prompting.
> Try taking a photograph of any piece of transportation infrastructure since 9/11. If any law officer sees you, you'll be drummed out of there posthaste. (Even if it is in fact legal, in which case you might be able to stay after an extensive argument.)

I think this was medium-true for a couple years, and now very rarely true, though depends exactly what you mean. People take photos and videos inside airports and subways all the time—I've never been accosted when doing it. I see videos of trains stations, subway stations, and railroad tracks all the time.

> Or try entering any New York City subway - there are random bag checks and inspection points created as a direct response to 9/11.

There definitely is much more surveillance and random security nonsense than before. It's a valid point that it's not something you only come across with the TSA.

A lot of this security nonsense should be rolled back, obviously, but the reason people don't rebel is because....it mostly doesn't affect most people. Helps to be white, of course. As I said, Arabic people, and anyone who even looks possibly-Arabic, had a really hard time for a while, and are still facing a lot of unearned abuse.
But 90% of people are right handed and anecdotally all the people I saw using the mouse on the left were left handed.
> There is nothing about American healthcare that resembles functioning markets or capitalism.

This is cope, just like "(socialist catastrophe) wasn't caused by TRUE socialism" is cope.

The mechanism by which capitalism causes concentration of wealth and power, and by which said concentration then creates means, motive, and opportunity for self-dealing is crystal clear.
Its not binary, it never was. West throw absurd amount of food away. West is getting progressively fatter with US firmly leading (I'd presume due to food lobbying getting extremely powerful there earlier than elsewhere and realizing for some breadcrumbs you can pass literally anything, like sugar is healthy).

I am not saying not use anything. But have long term studies paid by producers of said things (with oversight of government) and then let it on your crops. Currently its exact opposite and government reacts after SHTF, utter stupidity if you care about more than just immediate profits.
I've always thought describing "whataboutism" as a logical fallacy as misunderstanding the broader picture.

I don't think that most people who use "whataboutism" are actually arguing that the "whatabout" logically negates the adversary, but rather politically negates the adversary. I.e. "you might be right about my behavior, but why should I pay the cost of changing if you don't yourself change".

If it's approached as a political argument rather than a logical one, or rather that the politics are acknowledged, then it's easier to get around it and return to the logic part: e.g. "You're right that there are things I do that might need to change, and I'm willing to talk about that. I'd like to address this first."

There are also reasons to address both things at once as admitting fault early results in ceding bargaining power to the adversary when there's not trust that they'll be as honest in their own assessment once you've been honest with your own.
> Cities need to be gutted and rebuilt to the urban ideal of walkable space.

That's not going to happen. They might be slowly reshaped over 50 years.

There's a reason London never evolved to look like Los Angeles, and that's the same reason Houston is unlikely to ever resemble Paris.
thank you for this, will check
> The basic unit of code is the procedure, not abstract entities like DateTimeCalculator or EmployeePayrollManager.

I agree, but in almost any non-trivial well-run C project the basic unit is going to be datatypes, opaque pointers, modules, etc.

In that case I generally throw in a `bool MyObjectType_test(void)` into the module so, in some sense, I'll have some basic sort of testing. Not as nice as the OO languages provide, but enough to give myself some confidence that changes don't introduce blatant bugs.
I don't recall Sailor Moon ever approaching the popularity of DBZ (in the United States at least). It seemed like every kid in America was glued to the TV in the 90s watching DBZ on Toonami. Pokemon was probably more popular than DBZ, but much of that was due to the influence of the Pokemon Game Boy games, and obviously the trading card game.

I think DBZ was the first massively popular anime in the western world that leaned heavily into the shonen tropes. Pokemon appealed more to a younger audience, and Sailor Moon was more of a shojo anime.
Hi, I'm Grant, I'm one of the primary NASTY maintainers along with Tom and TJ.

One thing that's on the getnasty.dev but worth calling out explicitly with the link are the ruby koans style TDD learn by examples we have for NASTY. They should just require NodeJS in whatever form is easiest.

https://github.com/coterahq/learn-nasty-by-example

Another small but interesting thing that I think people who work in SQL would find cool are `invariants`, which do runtime data integrity checks

They could reduce the amount of bycatch, like they have with dolphins. They won’t if there is economic incentive not to.
What's extraordinary is how ordinary massive trees used to be in North America.

http://www.oldgrowth.ca/the-past-isnt-what-it-used-to-be/

Even in Ontario we used to have forests where a large portion of trees were above 50m high, some close to the size of coast redwoods.

The entire west coast looked like this before clear cutting in the 1800s
Why not use postgres listen/notify instead of rabbitmq pub sub.
TikTok has started monetizing much more aggressively. About 15-20% of the videos I get are now ads for their shop. Yes, a video sharing app has a shop a la Temu. It drives quality down. IG has been somewhat improving in quality but everything must be monetized at some point and so enshittification will happen there as well. All these apps are only temporarily good.
Alternative messages:

"Help I'm trapped in a spaceship factory!"

"Turn over for important message." (on both sides)

"Duck"

"For a good time call 1-800-elon-sux"

And of course,

"New tablet who dis?"
The separation of frontend and back end has devalued both, and also can complicate both.

There was a time where there weren't 15 job titles to build a web app, and building a webapp was relatively the same. This sharding, pershaps to make tech adjacent jobs more approachable was a good idea, but I don't see it having evolved.

Front end can be very, very complex, sometimes too complex. The same can be said about backend.

If anyone reads about actual full stack development, where a developer had to learn the bare metal, linux, devops, to be able to serve a single page.. it did become easier, but the understanding of how things can best work together or not is a gap I see more and more.

Complexity slows down development pace, which is the antithesis of growing fast. Adding more people triggers the mythical man month clause.

Burning innovation points early on unnecessary complexity for the future is often the single biggest nail in the coffin when complexity and curveballs arrive and flexibility seems to have dissapeared to do what's needed.

Technologies like Alpine.js, Htmx, especially livewire, all are bringing the best of the tooling together with an unapologetic simplicity.

Should it be more complex to build the same 2004 webapp in 2024? I hope not in each and every case.
No, but a person's choice of even our non-verboten words will still cause others to make certain assumptions about them.
I'll try to clarify and maybe you'll see what I'm getting at. If the code you're writing was written and posted a million times online then ChatGPT is great at regurgitating that and even applying it to more specific applications. No argument. That's pretty cool. It can seem very surreal and give a lot of magic to the card trick.

But try this; take a sample of code from the Gio package for Go. I like this example because there's not a lot of published examples for this. The machine would actually have to "think" to accomplish basic work and obviously that's not what it does.

Take some example code from their tutorial and just ask ChatGPT 4 to do something simple like change the background black.

In my research, 35/37 attempts don't even compile. It tries the same mistakes over and over again. It fails to make reasonable assessment of the compilation errors.

The two attempts that did compile; one was a blank white canvas with nothing and the other didn't change anything, it looked exactly like the tutorial example.

Something else you can try; tell it to generate a logo and give it some big words for the company name, like "corporation." Watch how it can't even spell. Eventually it will admit that it's not able to do it, which I can only guess was a manual patch to save on operating costs so that you don't keep trying.

In short, this is not "intelligence" technology. That's a marketing term. It doesn't do anything remotely close to that and there is no clear path from this technology to that technology. It's just not in the same realm.

Maybe the doomsayers have seen some tech that I'm not familiar with, but I am not persuaded by ChatGPT in its current state. I think it will be another tech revolution or maybe two or three before AI leaves the realm of Sci Fi and enters the realm of even theoretical possibility.

This tech is machine learning, which is a creative way of saying "near real time statistics." That is really cool in and of itself. But it has nothing to do with "intelligence."
If 90% of them qualify as grossly negligent, then they should be fired. That is kind of what grossly negligent means.

You do not really worry about what would happen if all the grossly negligent doctors get fired. Who will do those procedures with a total disregard for safety, said no one ever.
This conclusion is a bit tautological: another way to frame "self-control" is "power over yourself" or "ability to influence your own actions". Of course people who have power over N=1 people are more likely to be perceived as "powerful" than people who have no self-control i.e. N=0, because they are.

In other words, self-control doesn't just "lead to" power, it is power.
Yes it is. My point was more that it's a relatively lightweight way to create a shareable link that does not require the consumers to create a new account on the service hosting the linked resource in order to access it. At the same time, merely having access to the link doesn't really gain you anything, and so it is immune to the kind of issues discussed in the article

It is, mostly, but if you’re handy with a soldering iron, you can easily solve that problem with a lot of equipment as long as you have good airflow and cooling where your rack is located.
Nearly every time I do an Ubuntu dist upgrade, there is some relatively easy to solve but critical problem. A couple examples from a few years back: default route was lost, network interfaces were renamed. In both cases, remote connectivity was obviously lost. Good thing it was in my basement...
AFAIK this is how audio plugins are embedding themselves in DAWs on Linux.

Racks are nice from an organization perspective as well, but agreed it’s an unnecessary complication and expense and limits your options.

I run a half dozen Lenovo ThinkCentre tiny PCs I picked up off eBay super cheap. Sure, I could go buy some rack mounts for them all… to the tune of $750. It would look really nice. That’s about it. If I’d decided that was a “requirement” I never would have done any of this.

For anyone considering diving in to any of this stuff, don’t let the pursuit of “perfect” stop you before you’ve even started.

My PCs are quite content sitting in a pile with some scraps of wood shoved between to help with airflow.
Surely anyone doing analogue design for serial or mass production would do a sensitivity analysis, even in 1984. Now it should be much easier to repeatedly randomise the values of every part within their tolerance and run a simulation to check that the end product remains in spec.

You might even do this in order to find out if wider tolerance parts would be good enough and save a little money.

This is only 20 max CSS classes. Yah, you haven't been a REAL tailwind maintainer if you haven't worked on a website that uses 50+ CSS classes for elements - some with minor variants! I had to do so and deeply regret the experience.

It was like extreme eye exercise with eyeballs popping out at the end of the work day.

Tailwind CSS is a write-only CSS cult at the moment. Cults take some time to die. After a decade, one will have dozens of "Why I quit using Tailwind" posts on HN. Back to vanilla CSS!

Now, if one wants to use a sane implementation of Atomic CSS, look at: https://open-props.style/. Jeez that is so much more readable and maintainable.

How do they compare to SFF (like thinkcentre tiny) or other minipcs (e.g. Minisforum um790)? Power usage seems to be fairly similar (5-7W) but maybe there are less obvious perks?
Then we need to shut down the "Western world". A blanket ban on excess overbreeding and polluting technology. Maybe the NWO should consider using their stockpiles of sterilization drugs bound for the water supplies...

Basically Instagram Reels algorithm started to get very good, they found the magic algorithm and it's so much easier to click the Reels button than switch to the TikTok app. Plus, everyone has their friends on Instagram so why switch to another app?

That's my theory anyway. I remember when Instagram Reels was just awful and all the suggestions sucked, now it's actually good.

Surprising outcome, but very similar to what happened with Snapchat. Everyone used Snapchat and suddenly Instagram added Stories and over time people just used Instagram again when Instagram polished Stories enough.

Hmm, I guess Meta is unstoppable in the social media space.

Good example why using HTMX is usually a great idea. You can do your joins right there in the DB, it's easy and natural.

SPAs are only a good idea if you ignore all the complexity required to make them actually work decently - like carrying over the whole data model all the way to the frontend app.
Yeah, the militarization of the police is a good call-out. That's a big mostly-second-order effect of the 9/11 response.

The surveillance and other Patriot Act changes were very bad. As much as I hate and have railed against them from the start, they don't have a real, tangible effect on most people in the way COVID did, but they're a real problem, and clearly direct result of 9/11.
One additional NVMe slot and 10GBe nics would make the H3+ an object of absolute perfection. So close, and yet so far.
My grandmother had (among _many_ others) an aphorism along those lines: "after dinner rest a while, after supper walk a mile".

> I think the bigger issue is that there is a common, albeit misguided notion that UBI would create inflationary pressure.

Well, because it is perfectly intuitive to think it will cause inflation: The Fed printing money to fund Government deficit spending absolutely increases inflation. UBI is additional Government spending. Additionally, reducing the supply of labor increases the cost of labor, which causes inflation.

I think the onus is the proponents of UBI to somehow prove that if this is done at scale it will NOT cause inflation.

> On the plus side, the advancement of AI, and the threat of widespread job loss creates a positive talking point that can possibly help counteract that.

Academics have been making these doomsday "automation will cause labor surplus" predictions since forever. When exactly can we expect them to materialize? I'd love some cheaper labor so I can build an affordable home.
I have an obscene amount of retired Chromeboxen that I have flashed with Mr.Chromebox[0] EFI and running as either K8s, Proxmox or independent Linux/Windows nodes at any given time.

These are mostly 1st-gen i7-4600U Haswell's, upgraded to 16GB RAM and 128G+ SSDs. I ripped them out of their cases, added heatsinks to the new SSDs, and then "racked" them by wedging the front-bottom mainboard corner (if plugs are oriented to the rear and the heaviest plug, AC, at the rear-bottom for balance) into a slotted piece of super-strong and right-angled cardboard that came from inside some re-inforced shipping box (I think it was an X-mas tree).

I assembled all of this juuuuuuust before COVID while learning K8s and craving the physical plan aspect, as I had just transitioned to a remote SaaS role from one that involved multiple physical DCs and travel.

My "go small lab" initiative turned into some sort of Tribble fable.
