We should use YAML for all of our automation so that non-developers can build and maintain the automation, and then exclusively assign developers who are proficient in a general purpose programming language to build and maintain the YAML automation.
> Please tell me where does person get bitcoin to loan if they do not have it? As that is what is taking loan is.

You're mixing up your terms and that makes it very difficult to understand what you're saying... "to loan" != "taking loan".

Try to think and speak in terms like: lending and borrowing.

When you go to a bank, you use your credit score (and possibly your bank balance) as collateral to borrow funds.

With AAVE, you lend what tokens you have and you can then borrow against what you've lent.

The only difference is that with AAVE, you don't need a credit score or ask for permission from the bank. Anyone can do it globally 24/7. It is pretty clear from your previous comments in other threads, that you had no idea that this was even a thing because you stopped looking into it in 2017. Times have changed and things have progressed.

> I have no money. Where do I get bitcoin worth a house

You have no money, so you're not going to get a house, sorry. Your example doesn't work at all and I don't think it is going to be worth responding to.
shocking to see unanimous agreement by two separate users on such a controversial statement. There is a time and place for (almost) everything, lemon adjunct beverages included, but I would assert beer complements a far greater variety of meals than would a lemon adjunct beverage. My wife is a winemaker who makes 100 point wine and would agree wholeheartedly, as would everyone we know. Doesn’t mean one is better than the other, but they all have their own place, and all deserve to be judged against their own class. FWIW I’ve never tasted a flavored malt beverage which is on par with a decent cocktail or mixed-drink, and the best cocktails outclass them in every way. I’ll take a corpse reviver (lemon) or last word (lime) over a hard anything any day.
Yeah, I had similar experience.

YouTube has a lot of very AI-optimistic channels, believe it or not.
Realistically, other than cool factor I'm having a real hard justifying the use of rust. It either devolves into using reference counting (fine but we have lots of languages that do that without borrow checking), or dynamics (i.e refcell).

The type system is nice with the algebraic data types, but lacking the higher orderedness of languages like Haskell, it just seems sad.

So basically, to me it seems like you're getting the worst of both worlds. You don't get the freedom of c/c++ and you don't get the actual type safety of a language like Haskell (refcell kills the notion of compile time checking).

Realistically what needs to happen is some system for circular references like Haskell has (let bindings).
So what's your plan for people who currently have those "useless" job that need them to provide for themselves and their family?

I'm all for getting rid of bull$hit jobs to allow people to pursue meaningful, creative work. And while a lot of people laude the automation aspect, I don't see many proposing ideas on how to close that gap.
The frustrating thing is that GCs have come far enough that for most of what folks use Rust for, they’d have been happier using a GC’d language.

Weird to justify this kind of language limitation when a great technology exists that obviates the need for it.
Dumbemployed – The Jobs You Love to Hate
It's useful to note that a more precise restatement of this article is that they're talking about approximately 0% of minimum wage employers and 0% of minimum wage workers in the state. And you know that if there were more they'd say so.

The whole article is "some" and "several" and insinuation. And it of course only quotes Republican political sources. And it of course doesn't say anything about whether the state will ultimately be better off when wages meaningfully catch up to inflation instead of falling behind more and more year after year.
Great product idea, excellent demo. Fantastic use case for LLMs. Keep it up!
The difference is that the array bounds are checked and the behavior is defined whereas bad unsafe pointer athematic if you’re lucky gives you a segfault and at worst an RCE.

I use Joplin, and am with you on the half a zillion notes thing.

What is helping me is the "bidirectional links" plugin (so I'm linked to the the first version of the notes and don't forget it exists and keep starting again), and the "home note" plugin (so there is a hub for all those spokes).

It's a lot of work "curating" stuff, but I haven't found a better way for the way my mind works.
Combine this with the great cousin decline discussed[0] a few months back and it doesn’t bode well for society.

I'm a bit of a VR enthusiast. I have 8 headsets (DK1, Quest 1, Quest 2, Oculus Go, Vive Pro 2, HP Reverb G2, Pico 4, Pimax Crystal). I will easily spend 2 - 6 hours a day in VR. That said, I just refuse to play any game with a stupid movement system. If I can't use my control to move around, I am not going to play the game. It's great to have those options for people who want them, but when a game tries to force me to walk in my personal space or physically turn, they are going to lose me. I don't have the balance to do that stuff.
>Yes, and they remained exactly that until a new use case opened up in the last 5 years that average people found highly valuable.

Yes, they were a multi dozen billion dollar gaming company before, not a multi trillion dollar AI one today. They were hardly swimming in poverty on the backs of gamers were they.

>Nvidia did not become a trillion dollar company on the back of PC gamer sales.

The video gaming industry is one of the most lucrative ones to date, bringing more money yearly than movies and music combined according to PWC.

Apple not taking active part in that would be stupid.

> what Apple and Meta are banking on for AR vs. VR.

For what? That killer AR/VR app we've been waiting for for the past 5-7 years to show up any day now?

The lackluster sales of headsets of any kind, especially Apple's overpriced ones, proves the average joe doesn't want headsets strapped to their faces all day. They'd much rather spend the day staring at their phones but that market is already saturated and stagnant when the current iPhone looks and does the same things as the iPhone from 4 years ago and the EU is gonna crack you walled garden.

AR could have a future once it takes the shape of a sleek pair of raybans like in Iron Man, not a 1kg headset strapped to your face with a clunky corded power brick in your pocket. But considering recent semiconductor and battery tech progress, we're very very far away from that future becoming a reality.

> you’re just laundering the unsafe pointer arithmetic behind array indexing

Perhaps true in a very narrow sense, but you could say the same thing about all of Rust. "It's just laundering unsafe stuff behind a safe interface." And indeed, the ability to encapsulate unsafe internals inside a safe interface is one of the primary selling points of the language. It is also one of the key characteristics that differentiate it from languages that do not currently have this ability, such as C and C++. Whether you think this is an actual advantage or not is I suppose up to you, but I certainly think it is. And I think your use of the word "just" is papering over a lot of stuff.

For a more concrete code-level comparison with C, I did the leg work to translate a C program to a number of different Rust programs by varying some constraints. One of those Rust programs does indeed use indices instead of pointers. The README talks about the trade offs. See: https://github.com/BurntSushi/rsc-regexp/
For some languages this can make sense, but I think most languages aren't suited for installing things, manipulating the filesystem, etc.

I think of scripts as the middleware between the operating system and the shipped code. The code is controlled by the operating system, so the operating system's tools should be used to manage it. In many cases this means bash or make.

Plus, I don't want modern Javascript to do things on the filesystem that would require importing dozens of projects that I need to vet before using. Golang or Python perhaps, but the buildchain for modern Javascript is hell as-is; it doesn't need another layer of Javascript.
C is not a good language for people who are short on time.
It’s a legal requirement to have brakes on both wheels of your bicycle. That’s not the same thing as redundancy. Braking performance is significantly reduced if you can only brake on one wheel, so both brakes need to be functional to stop quickly and safely.

And the dude went to prison because he hit and killed a grandma while riding with reckless disregard for the safety of pedestrians. The brake thing didn’t help, but it was a side story.

This post shows 3 ways of doing it, including essentially the same way you'd do it in C. And it's exactly as dangerous as doing it in C is, but at least you can isolate that dangerous code to one part of your code base.
Right. It's not like the ship owners (or, more saliently, their insurers) want things like this to happen.

Second-guessing the marine engineers in this case is like the people post-9/11 who argued that future buildings should be designed to withstand the impact of a wide-body jetliner fully loaded with fuel.

>seem to recall the Journalists had an argument with Assange over the leaking.

After the keys had already leaked, there was a disagreement whether Wikileaks should continue their plan of slowly publishing things as they went through them or dump everything since it was already in the public.

But before "the Journalists" leaked the keys, Assange was in charge of a massive undertaking to sort through the documents for responsible disclosure.

I have been intrigued by this problem for a long time. In Michigan potholes are a huge everyday problem. Part of it is the state raided part of the gas tax for other things leading to a massive disinvestment in roads.

I think it's become clear the great age where being a software developer meant you could never be unemployed is done.

One of my favorite podcasts (Soft Skills Engineering) has been talking about it for months. My article about how to easily find a job as a dev, which got me literally hundreds of e-mails of thanks, no longer makes sense https://gcj.io/blog/how-to-get-a-better-dev-job/.

I myself have just been laid off, and since I was foreseeing the decline of the company, I have been firing CVs away for MONTHS and couldn't find any decent offer. Not even a half decent one. Hell, a friend who's worked at Twitter, among others, can't find a job.

Is this AI? Is it a temporary decline of the market? Caused by what?

Is there still any niche where we can be employed faster as we could just a year ago? Are we all going to die?
Is it easy to find one that doesn't require private mortgage insurance? I remember that being a sticking point when I looked into this in the past few years.

The problem I see with requiring such insurance is that I'd already be paying whatever interest rate on a higher loan amount for the same 15- or 30-year period and it's rather insulting when a high credit score isn't a signal that the loan is low risk. How many years of literally 0 late bill payments do I need before I can reasonably expect a bank to assume that I won't miss the payments that I sign up for? (Undefined, unless one has the 20% up front, then 0.) It's a bit of a joke.

Anyway, I guess that got a bit rant-y; just saying that this feels more like exploitation by banks than banks offering a reasonable option. It lowers one's purchasing power unless one is able to save for a down payment.
It is hilarious how much space you can save by using smaller indexes than a pointer. Especially on modern architectures.
It probably won't take long to cut a hole in the wreckage to at least get one sea lane open so the port can still operate. A bunch of folks with metal cutting torches on a few dozen boats and a floating crane?
There's a huge difference in the outcomes those can lead to, that's why it's not just a simple "laundering", but a serious gain. On top of that, C vs. Zig vs. Rust give you a different level of that gain still.

The particular difference is noted in the fragment you quoted. What may not be obvious, is why corrupted memory etc. are a much bigger problem than panics. In fact it is usually the _lack_ of panics that is problem in them: they will lead to silent memory corruption. This will lead to unexpected behaviors of your code. Ones you just never even assumed possible - due to basic contracts being broken. Such problems with then silently propagate through your system, poisoning it without you knowing. Whereas a panic is a clear cut alarm/canary behavior: something's wrong, let's crash loudly and make it immediately visible. This will protect against the corruption spreading out. And in a typical system, will restart the panicked binary, allowing the system to resume operation with minimal disruption.
The problem is that Google has been positioning itself as the leader in AI for over a decade, and now that powerful AI is starting to become a reality, Google seems completely blindsided. They have no idea how to capitalize on this development.

Google's problem isn't lack of engineering talent, it's lack of leadership. If Google's board of directors gets their act together and finds new leadership, Google could yet harness what remains of their engineering talent and stay in the game, or even pull ahead.

A lot of the pieces are there for Google to succeed. They still have top researchers and the institutional skill to run AI at scale. What they lack is clarity of vision. Under the current management, Google is following the paths of Xerox and Kodak.
The dispute protection is no joke. Once 10 years ago, I bought something from Kroger with a debit card. A few hours later, the merchant charged a whole bunch of random amounts to the card until the total climbed above $1000 and I blocked the card. It took the bank quite some time to get the money back. Thankfully I wasn't living on the edge and didn't have rent due around that time period or else that would have been a much more devastating event. Never have to worry about that nonsense with credit cards.
There's so much you can do in rust without messing with any of that, and the only time you have to get deep in the weeds arguing with the compiler is _exactly_ the sort of code that you _should_ be spending a lot of time carefully thinking about. That C allows you to write that code without thinking about it much is _not_ a benefit to using C.
Catastrophic engine failure doesn't sound like a problem that's resolvable in 60 seconds.
Very true. Then I can brag that I was using it before it was cool, and seethe when Apple implies that they invented it. It’s a win-win.

I haven't either, but I'm hesitant to suggest that there's something particular about the religiosity of faith communities that make them work the way they do.

My take is that it's a familiar social institution and we haven't yet formulated the social protocols to reproduce a secular version. You mention a variety of semi-institutionalized social groups. To me they are associated with older folks, which naturally leads to the question: why aren't young people[1] making their own formal groups? why do young folks communities tend to be anarchic? And what would empower young folks to form their own formal social institutions?

1. We're talking about a rather wide swath of 18-50 yearolds, but that doesn't necessarily mean specific groups must correspondingly be as age-inclusive
Okay. We can agree that if future was bitcoin. No one would get to buy house if they were not already rich. As there would be no more traditional loaning. Only new fangled pawning.
>creative/expressive/stimulating

I think there's a distinction in that I was referring to "knowledge work" which isn't explicitly creative/expressive/stimulating. Many would classify much of research or law as "boring" even though they are knowledge work.

>what exactly is suspect about finding meaning or joy in work?

I did not mean it as wrong to find joy in your work. On the contrary, I think that's a worthwhile goal. But the distinction I make is that any work can be found to be fulfilling. It's the distinction between "finding your passion" and "cultivating your passion." I've worked with people who found meaning in their job cleaning offices and others who treated the design of rockets as soul-crushing. I think it has more to do with the person than the job. So I push back a bit on the false dichotomy created by classifying "knowledge" jobs as inherently worth saving from automation while manual work should be fodder for it. I also think the focus on a job for fulfillment is a bit of a red-herring. I think what people really need are to be valued members of society and, for many, a job is a means to that end (and maybe not even a good one).
People keep waiting for this new concept / institution that can replace religion for community building, moral cohesion, and cross generational culture to emerge... but at this point I'm fairly certain it aint coming. I consider this hope the optimism of mid-wits who believe in emergence and evolution, but can't grasp why ideologies that co-evolved with humanity for a few thousand years might be better at filling those roles and needs than their fad secular prophet's intelligently designed philosophies. The modern Nietzscheian free thinker of the day is rebelling against conventional wisdom and propaganda by saying maybe we DO need religion. Oh the irony.

The frustrating thing is that people say this without realizing that GCs haven't, and by necessity cannot provide the type of deterministic and predictable performance that would lead someone to use Rust/C++ and friends.

There are few people using Rust who don't have experience in other languages. It's wild that you think you know about their use cases better than they do.

Your comment says "I have never worked on a problem where GCs are problematic". That is great for you, but it has little to do with the value of improving the situation for native, no runtime, performant languages.
Recognizing that “what language should a project’s scripts be in” is too broad of a question to have much more specific guidance that is applicable universally is not a problem.
