> But that's the thing. It's not a "No True Scotsman" fallacy. A "No True Scotsman" fallacy would be to say that someone isn't capable or well versed in git because they do X a certain way.

You've constructed a mythical Git user that perfectly knows to handle Git.
When someone points out how a Git user struggles with X, you say - well, true Git users read X in the manual. When no one reads the manual in practice.

The same goes for Real Men know to program in C without UB. Then you show all the CVEs from it. So they retort, well, Real Men don't write UB.

Same fallacy different target.

> Is this boiling down to the user-friendly vs new-user-friendly debate? Because you could argue the exact same for Vim. It's obviously a terrible tool because it expects you to read the instructions to understand how to do things if you've not worked the modal mental model before.

It's about better human accessibility. Just because programmers love horrible tools, doesn't make them good. Vim included.

> Again, so what? Use the tool that fits the purpose.

Again, I'd love to, but I have to use it because Git is all source repositories, today support. Since peer pressuring humanity is impossible, only avenues are:
A) change Git
B) wait for something better to be discovered

> That's definitely the intended use case (as I mentioned higher up in the thread). If it caused issues with tooling it's because the tooling wasn't making sure to pull in submodules as well.

We replaced the intended usage with local NPM package. It made everything better.

So even for its intended usage it was better served by NPM package.

The second repository is still on submodules, and it will remain that way for the foreseeable future.

> You realize git doesn't install those tools by default right? You have to manually build them and install them separately.

You realize that Git doesn't work just on Linux? On Mac it comes with brew and on Windows it comes with installation.

Also, if git-subtree doesn't come by "default" then it can't be a replacement by submodules. You can't say I'm not affiliated by Stephen, but I will take all credits for Stephen's work.

> Subtree merge is unrelated to git-subtree.

I'm talking about merging git subtree to upstream (i.e. what the article was talking about).

> However that is entirely unrelated to the expectation that users need to read the documentation and regularly consult it when they have questions as this applies regardless of the VCS tooling used.

Anyone trying to mandate reading software manual or documentation (outside government regulation) has already lost. No one sane has that much spare time.
Probably related: BLM (Bureau of Land Management) recently announced the categorical exclusion of geothermal energy projects from its more lengthy environmental impact reviews and processes and will give projects in this category a more expedited process, as they have been deemed to have little to no impact on the surrounding environment.

If you want some "copy-paste tailwind components" you're really best of using shadcn/ui or whatever port exists for your favorite UI libraty. I've been using shadcn-svelte in a recent project and it's the best decisions I made. Having the source code there and modifying it to suit my needs really has helped me learn a lot of good practices.
> The 'problem' with the EU is that even if you live in a country that values privacy, if 51% of the other countries don't, you're out of luck.

National governments have veto rights on passed laws. Problem rather is that even when people value privacy, it's normally not on top of their priority list. E.g. in Germany people do value privacy if you ask them - but the two biggest parties don't, and people still vote for them.

>>> but it's ok to strip it away if someone is subject to anti-trust action?

The 1st amendment is not absolute if there's competing laws against it. Which i believe is your point, or at least helps your argument as you will see below.

>>> unenforceable/illegal contract provisions are pretty common.

Agreed, for the same reason that it is illegal to sell your body parts. This is because the illegal provisions (freely entered between consenting adults) would be in direct conflict with another established law, and the constitutionality of said law would have been brought up in front of (higher) courts to debate whether X type of association does not run afoul of other rights.

>>> What is fundamentally different between banning non-compete agreements, and banning exclusivity clauses?

There's nothing fundamentally different except the former is now law, under the 13th amendment [1]. The latter has yet to do so. So you could be correct. The 13th amendment is a better pillar vs going strictly against the 1st amendment for (reasons).

I disagree. I've never been in an "Android shop", and still seen plenty of Kotlin code (all the places I mentioned mainly had React Native apps).

Is there a section I should watch?

What are the arguments against him?

I have watched all his university class and most of his talk, 100's of hours of material. I am very familiar with his positions.

But when I first heard about him I had a strong reaction against his positions and his complicated language. I was primed by CBC to hate him and I was trying to find a good reason. At the same time my cursiosity was activated so I watch him more and understood more and more.

So yes, he is not easy to understand, it take a lot of effort but it's been worth it for me.
You're talking about Murthy vs. Missouri (23-411).

Justice Jackson poses a hypothetical on page 94 about "a new teen challenge that involved teens jumping out of windows at increasing elevations" and then asks respondents' council if "is it your view that the government authorities could not declare those circumstances a public emergency and encourage social media platforms to take down the information that is instigating this problem?"

There are several back and forths on the following pages where respondents respond to the hypothetical and follow up questions are asked. Then Justice Jackson re-broaches the topic on page 116 and continues:

"So my biggest concern is that your view has the First Amendment hamstringing the government in significant ways in the most important time periods. I mean, what would -- what would you have the government do? I've heard you say a couple times that the government can post its own speech. But, in my hypothetical, you know, kids, this is not safe, don't do it, is not going to get it done. And so I guess some might say that the government actually has a duty to take steps to protect the citizens of this country, and you seem to be suggesting that that duty cannot manifest itself in the government encouraging or even pressuring platforms to take down harmful information. So can you help me? Because I'm really -- I'm really worried about that because you've got the First Amendment operating in an environment of threatening circumstances from the government's perspective, and you're saying that the government can't interact with the source of those problems."

His response continues to page 119.

>> I suspect psychedelics are as safe as they can be under Schedule I.

> It disturbing that your response to [awful stuff] is to insist categorically that "psychedelics are safe".

I think a careful misreading of my text might be needed to make that declaration.

If an explanation would help: I indicated a neutral position to clarify I wasn't advocating.

My use of "I suspect" makes clear this isn't an expert position - which makes your choice of "categorical" unproductive. Unless you want to punctuate disdain.

What is deceivingly false is your assertion that I 'insisted psychedelics are safe'. You trimmed away necessary context about conditions (Schedule 1) that prevent the prevent mental health professionals (guides) being developed and inserted into the equation - specifically to reduce tragedies (and people lashing out in response).

> Then you have the nerve to suggest we ignore the grieving warning of an associate of the dead man.

I suggested muting a series of statements that were extraordinary in their length and constant change into disconnected directions. Or one could do nothing and try to absorb that. It was a neutral suggestion.
I don't think its too outlandish to see these getting to a price point where they're cheaper than a human. The goal might not be an appliance Rosie the Robot in every household but having a robot that can help the infirm, elderly or disabled.

> I don’t really think ollama scales to production workloads anyway

Not even close. At the risk of gatekeeping in terms of production/commercial serving of LLMs Ollama (and llama.cpp) are basically toys. They serve a purpose and are fantastic projects for their intended use cases (serving a user or two) but compared to production workloads they're basically "my first LLM".

If that founder isn't at least aware of vLLM or HF TGI (let alone llama.cpp!!) they'll have a really tough time being even remotely competitive in the space, to the point of "it doesn't work and it's not going to".

Obviously there is much, much more that goes into startup success but this is pretty fundamental.

As a born-and-raised US citizen who went through US schooling and therefore got a load of political science, no.

The US is a republic. You could call it a form of democracy, but you would first call it a republic before a democracy. Representativity is what makes it NOT a democracy.

James Madison, a US founding father, felt that (direct) democracy led to mob rule and did not think that people directly voting on issues was a good idea. You can read his opinion from 1788 in the Federalist Papers, #55: https://guides.loc.gov/federalist-papers/text-51-60#s-lg-box...

"Had every Athenian citizen been a Socrates, every Athenian assembly would still have been a mob." - Alexander Hamilton or James Madison

The world of political science is massive. There is no "best" system because once you read through this entire body of study, you realize it consists of compromises. People have been trying to figure this out for a very long time.
Why do I want a general purpose robot? I don't need one robot that does it all, I'm happy with a separate robots for washing my dishes, and vacuuming my floors. Sure both can be improved on, but they don't need to converge. In fact I'm glad those two are separate as I can let both of them run at the same time and get the work done faster, while a general purpose robot can only do one at a time.
The goal is to make my life better, robots are only an implementation detail. Maybe some robots need legs (construction robots?), but most don't. If the robot with wheels is cheaper I'll take that in many cases.
Unfortunately, I am just getting error messages as responses.

Choosing not to spend my money with a particular company is not being punitive. It's not me denying people the right to express themselves on any level -- everyone can continue to express themselves as they wish.

"Freedom of speech" means people have the right to speak their minds. It doesn't mean everyone has to act as if they didn't hear the speech. Me exercising my right to choose who I will or will not associate with doesn't impact anyone's freedom of speech.
Agreed. There's a lot of blaming 18 year olds for taking out loans (which many of them were encouraged to take) pursuing degrees that might not earn enough to pay off (while they were encouraged to follow their heart).

The real issue is that schools are too expensive. It shouldn't be a mistake that takes a lifetime to pay back if you pursue a degree that "the marketplace" doesn't reward with a six- or seven-figure salary.

Of course this is not directly comparable, but I think robotics is harder and more less open to brute force approaches.
What about when a robot is carrying an uneven load and has to rebalance?

What if it is knocked over and needs to get back up?

What about Steep inclines? Stairs?

What if it needs to climb on to a different platform? A conveyer belt? A vehicle? A beam?

Even in a factory or warehouse setting wheels are useless for anything but the most ideal cases. And there are already countless robots successfully operating in that space. A general purpose robot is the holy grail, and legs are a requirement for that.

I mean, if you have any 32-bit Windows, you can run it. You just have to launch it directly from the DOS command line, and you need to install an IPX->TCP/IP wrapper (or Kali/something similar) for multiplayer. I was playing Dune on my Windows XP box well into the 00s and NTVDM supported it fine.

But yeah, DOSbox is probably a better option these days.
I find it's really handy for autocompleting the brainless grunt-work parts: e.g. I have a dozen keys from a json response I'm assigning to a DTO, one per line, giving them a default of blank if the key is null/undefined. After I've done a couple, the tab-complete AI is really good about continuing the same pattern for the rest of the keys, I literally just hit <tab> <return> repeatedly til done. It's not doing the thinking for me, just the typing.

I recently started my own Mastodon instance for myself in this same train of thought. I noticed that one of my toxic traits was reaching out to people too often about things I found interesting. Expressing my own interests on my own Mastodon instance — even if nobody is looking at it — has been amazing for me to be more self-sufficient emotionally when it comes to my interests. It’s almost like a tech diary for me at this point.

Similar to parent, I find tremendous value in making myself my target audience.
How old? Did you attend college before the weight of it's cost was left to the student to bare?

Anyone who attended college a couple decades ago benefited heavily from a subsidized system and now refused to pay it backward. There is a reason these people have been classified as a selfish generation and this is merely one aspect of it.

What mental gymnastics allowed people to reap the rewards of cheap education and casually condemn anyone who follows that same path to economic ruin.

I think it really depends on where the robots will be used. yes short term they will be in factories, shipping centers, etc. Places that can be tailored to the robot.

But the long term prospects of robots would be in your home, maybe going to the store for you, whatever. We see the limitations of wheeled robots with robot vacuums. They do a decent job but are severely limited trying to do its job in a place that was designed for a human. (On the flip side it can also get some places easier than a human would, so it's a bit of a trade off).

By focusing on mimicking humans, we end up being in the best situation for both of these. Factories can try them out with minimal changes to how they operate.

Plus, it seems like the biggest hurdle isn't really walking. It seems like we have gotten that one down fairly well (not perfect obviously) and the bigger issues seem to be hands, object recognition, and just "general" AI. Can it actually do anything with the hardware it has on its own.

Ditto. I consider Sc2 the best game ever.
Exactly. We don't need robots that replace humans 1-for-1. If there's a building site that currently needs humans to scale ladders etc then a combination of lifts, loading bays, cranes, drones and tracked robots can do it, not legged robots that carry everything up ladders etc.

Of course that needs very smart systems that can co-ordinate but that's my point, there's an opportunity cost for everything, and I think that's better spent on AI and a multitude of other systems rather than a schoolboy sci-fi fantasy of bipedal robots
