Not to speak negative on you, most likely you have many years with C/C++, but I've been wanting to learn c++ for a long time. I learned the language but getting into a project or parsing through old code I'm still not getting into it.

But having picked up a rust book. Maaan. It's so nice. Just the ways it goes about so many things are so inline with the concepts I've already been incorporating into my code for the past 4 years or so. Just really brings a lot of things together into such a nice package.

Not to say that you should inherently like rust yourself, it's fine to be indifferent. Either way, heh. .... So... woohoo Rust?
In AWS, AMIs are kept up to date and all you have to do is roll your instances inside an ASG (which is a 1 button thing) to have them updated with zero downtime.

RDS takes backups, out of the box with zero configuration, and further customization is very easy.
Looks interesting - my reaction though is that AI is great at demos and always has been. The devil is in the details and historically that has made it unusable for most applications despite the presence of a cool demo. I'm not criticizing the project, I get that its demos. Just that we judge AI too much by demos and then handwave about how it will actually work in practice.
That's right, my phone rarely crashes when I'm playing a song or video. I think it was a fantastic demo.

Crashing Happened a lot in demos back then, nowadays it's not so common.
Clever article which misses the point.

>music yoga

I would wager that most people who enjoy listening to music at some point have hummed some tune, sung in the shower, or something like this. If your point is that merely the act of listening itself is enjoyable, then that seems to apply to reading philosophy as well---there's enjoyment to be found in the mere pleasure of reading a philosophical work, and it's not like having a philosophical discussion is what "actualizes" this enjoyment or something strange like that.

(Though in any case I don't think this is the relevant criteria for whether an academic institution should be abolished or not, but.)

>I'm not saying this project is complete, I'm predicting that science will continue to make progress monotonically until all that is left for philosophers is the Philosophy of the ever-shrinking Gaps.

Suppose we accept the view that consciousness can be fully explained by science. Suddenly this means that actually all of philosophy will fall to science? And we should pre-emptively abolish the institution because of this prediction?

>That is flat-earth kind of wrong. There is at least one obvious universal methodological rule for scientific inquiry, and that is the one voiced by Feynman: any theory that is inconsistent with experiment is wrong.

Usually when people express this kind of, "X idea is wrong, and anyone who argues for it is intellectually bankrupt" will refuse to take seriously any discussion on the matter, so I won't say too much on this topic. But if you're interested, you can read Feyerabend's arguments, including case studies in the history of science where traditionally well-respected scientists have violated, e.g., principles of falsifiability. Chalmers has a nice book, What is This Thing Called Science?, that includes this view, though the book is far more nuanced than Feyerabend. "Any theory that is inconsistent with experiment is wrong" sounds plausible, but there are several issues, such as the theory-ladenness of observations and the inability to test any specific hypothesis in isolation, meaning it's difficult to know what particular theory or part of a theory an observation falsifies (Duhem-Quine).

>It would have absolutely no impact on the manifest fact that science is effective.

But nobody has suggested that the dichotomy is either a) Popper's falsificationism is correct or b) science isn't effective. None of Duhem, Quine, Kuhn, Feyerabend, or really, any philosopher of science disagreeing with Popper is saying science isn't effective.

>That fact alone casts some pretty serious doubt on DQ being a problem for Popper because the only way it could possibly be an actual problem for Popper is if Popper is correct :-)

But it's hardly a unique view to Popperian falsificationism that things can shown to be wrong, the view that things can be shown to be wrong is something all the thinkers mentioned and any sane person agrees on.

GitLab Duo provides AI-assisted features in the DevSecOps lifecycle. GitLab Duo Chat was released as GA last week [0] Code Suggestions are GA, too, and help with code completion and generation [1] The documentation provides more insights on availability and usage [2]

Helpful learning resources:

If you are looking for practical examples and prompt tips for Duo Chat, bookmark this longer tutorial "10 best practices for using AI-powered GitLab Duo Chat" in [3]

We have also updated the documentation to add hands-in GitLab Duo examples for different programming languages and environments, helping with how to integrate AI into your workflows efficiently: [4]

At QCon London 2024 two weeks ago, I spoke about "Efficient DevSecOps workflows with a little help from AI." The slides are publicly available at [5], talk summary in [6]

I also recommend the blog post "How to put generative AI to work in your DevSecOps environment" [7] to tackle important questions such as workflow assessments, AI guardrails and how to measure AI impact in your organization.

Last but not least, I started a learning series called "GitLab Duo Coffee Chat" on YouTube [8], showing AI and GitLab Duo in action. I plan to host more sessions in the coming weeks. [9]

Happy to help with more adoption questions, best practices, and development workflows :-)

This was all kinda inevitable. Industrial revolution, population explosion, fast technological advancement, etc... all lead to more centralization of power faster and faster (in every political system). And we are not evolved to deal with this rate of change. The corruption and doom of mankind is inevitable.
The trick with steak, I’ve found, is to think “Steak is $50”. Then you spend that money at the butcher instead of a restaurant. Put it on a skillet for a couple minutes each side and voila, you have a delicious steak way better than you’d find at any normie non-michelin-star restaurant.

Cooking is 60% having good ingredients, 30% avoiding mistakes, and 10% technique.
The ROM chips were literally lower specced / worse tolerances, and thus cheaper. FastROM chips were guaranteed (by the manufacturers) to yield stable results in under 120ns, versus 200 for SlowROM.

> Now, it's true that the advertisers used to get a good deal from the platforms, and that it came at the expense of the users. Facebook lured in users by falsely promising never to spy on them.

It did? I joined in 2005 – back when the footer read, "a Mark Zuckerberg production" – and never saw any such promises. The only promise I remember seeing was that it was free and always will be.

> But once those advertisers were locked in, Facebook turned on them, too. [...] This is the thing that "if you're not paying for the product, you're the product" fails to comprehend. "If you're not paying for the product" is grounded in a cartoonish vision of markets in which "the customer is king" and successful businesses are those who cater to their customers – even at the expense of their workers and suppliers – will succeed.

But advertisers clearly wield the power, at least the direct power, over social media. How many "adpocalypses" have we had at this point? Social media companies have giant teams dubbed "trust and safety" whose job is to ensure the gross content doesn't end up next to ads or scare away the eyeballs.

If socialists want to overturn the "you pay for it or else you are a product" conventional wisdom, they need to account for that.
> Getting stuff for free kills markets.

Yes, 100% this. Doctorow wants competition, wants to avoid lock-in, but how do you get competition and avoid lock-in when the market won't financially support many competitors? That's where paying for stuff is essential.

The attention economy is biased toward the big players. They can "make it up in volume", whereas smaller businesses can't.
> Mediocrity with friends in high places gets far further

That doesn't happen all the time, at all. It happens more in places where results are less measurable, or where you don't have to attract customers, but that doesn't mean it happens a lot. And merit isn't just competence. If a leader knows from experience they can communicate with someone and be understood, that is a big advantage.

No, but some people do need to be informed of how dangerous it is, and doctors can either prescribe weight loss medications or give a referral to a doctor specializing in medical and surgical weight loss.

Regardless, it’s something I would expect doctors to nag patients about, the same way my dentist nags me to floss.
Nope, there are more lines, as per the Wikipedia article you mentioned [1] and TMB's bus map [2] at the bottom right corner, lines 112 to 135 are Bus del Barri, being 116 (La Salut-Gràcia) originally line 216 inaugurated in 2000

> so if we are talking about those bus lines, the translation certainly is "Our bus, not yours" by the city council.

The translation is "buses with small capacity going through smaller neighbourhood streets so neighbours can get to the doctors' or school without walking as much or depending on a car". Especially since those are less populated areas and closer to the mountain.

Problem here is line 116 stops right next to Parc Güell, and other lines that allow for bigger buses don't stop as close, so most transit apps provided routes using line 116, essentially flooding it.

Until they find a better solution, they decided to stop showing that route in the apps, so people won't use it as much. Neighbours and people that use the TMB app will still see it (so tourists using the official app will too), but it will get rid of many users with such a simple step.

It's a dirty, dark secret, but Walt and Disney were considering shutting down the animation studio near the end. It was simply unprofitable and expensive. Disney goes through massive cycles where they have boom and bust periods - that survives to this day.

The leadership of the animation studio was a real issue here - they had no idea about how to mentor the next generation - it wasn't until Ollie and Frank explicitly worked to engage with the next generation after Bluth left Disney with the Illusion of Life that disney got serious about continuing animation.
> how do you provide long-term value

You don't. My employer switched to this type of project structure 16 months ago and so far all "projects" have been useless short sighted solo work.

The only benefit I've seen is it's a great for anyone who wants to coast until retirement. For example my current "project" is to stand up our production Kafka cluster. I provisioned and configured the servers within a day and now I'm sitting around twiddling my thumbs for the next 89 days.

Yes, that's why you use POST for everything with effects.

But if this is really your concern, you should also be using PUT to create new database records. In principle, those requests are safer to repeat than updates are, since the database will ignore repeated inserts and apply repeated updates. (Though as far as I can tell this only matters if your update adjusts a value rather than setting it outright.)
The thing I think is most interesting from a "new phone cycle" perspective is "What is my expected cost over time depending on how often I replace my phone?"

That is, if I buy a new model every year, that would cost the most, but I'd also get a much higher price for selling my previous year model in good condition. If I replace my phone only, say, once every 4 years, my total outlay is a lot less but I'm also going to get hardly anything for my 4 year old model. So I think it would be really nice to see the total cost with resales taken into account, then people could decide on on how much they really value the latest model.

Smalltalk grammar fits into a postcard.

https://richardeng.medium.com/syntax-on-a-post-card-cb6d85fa...
This is like monads, is better to not look at the definition and just get examples.

I like the way is presented here: https://mikeinnes.io/posts/transducers/

The main gist is that "effect" allows you to define your own "except" of "try/except/finally"
text is not a valid measure of the world, so there is no "informative model" ie., a model of the data generating process to fit it to. there is no sine curve, indeed there is no function from world->text -- there are an infinite family of functions, none of which is uniquely sampled by what happens to be written down

transformers, certainly, arent "informative" in this sense: they start with no prior model of how text would be distributed given the structure of the world.

these arguments all make radical assumptions that we are in somethihng like a physics experiment -- rather than scraping glyphs from books and replaying their patterns

> If an individual downloaded Library Genesis to train an AI, there would be huge fines.

Let’s be honest: Individuals are downloading Library Genesis to train AI already and not facing fines. It’s unrealistic to claim that these people are being fined for downloading LibGen or other copyrighted data for training AI.

> OpenAI has admitted to training on a dataset that is scraped from LibGen.

If they admitted this in the way you claim, surely publishers are gearing up for lawsuits.

Nobody is going to ignore a massively funded company breaking a law and instead pursue tiny fines against individuals.

That is not the reason. The US wouldn't commit an unforced error in the battle to maintain global reserve currency status. There are too many countries that would be delighted to switch to non-USD options to conduct export/import transactions.

The issue is as old as the Cold War. Europe is dependent on the US' continued spending on its military machine to prop up NATO. For a deal that good, they're mostly OK with the trade-off of giving their privacy away to American tech companies.

There would be no fines at all.
I was disappointed the article included these phrases without more context, because they seem understanding on the surface level. But this was the same person who pushed to delay her maternity leave, so in practice he doesn't understand. A boss sending mixed signals of "work harder" and "take it easy because you're a mother" is pretty bad. I will admit it's extrapolation of the events on my part because the article confused me as well.
Most of the stuff I presented in this talk (the structured data extraction things, AI query assistance etc) is so new that it's not had a chance to be used for a published story yet - I'm working with a few newsrooms right now getting them setup with it though.

Datasette itself has been used for all kinds of things within newsrooms. Two recent examples I heard about: the WSJ use it internally for tools around topics like CEO compensation tracking, and Bellingcat have used it for some of their work that involves leaked data relating to Russia.

The problem with open source tools is that people can use them without telling you about it! I'm trying to get better at encouraging people to share details like this with me, I'd really like to get some good use-cases written up.
Well exactly. Creating smartphone in 80s with vision of smartphone from 2020 would not work, because that technology was not there. It would be big, heavy, expensive, mostly without software and basically without connectivity.

Look at AR/VR today - big, heavy, expensive and without use-case which would be interesting to masses.

But let's move 20~50 years into future - AR/VR can look like ordinary glasses and cost like cheap smartphone today and you are controlling it by your mind. That's something what would have lot of interesting use cases.

It's much more useful to have a real file format.

For example, you can generate images from your own code by doing this (with a bit more shell quoting and error checking in the real code):

fp = popen ("ppmtojpeg > output.jpg", "w");
fprintf (fp, "P3 1024 1024 255\n");
for (y = 0; y < 1024; ++y)
for (x = 0; x < 1024; ++x)
fprintf (fp, "%d %d %d\n", 255*r[y][x], 255*g[y][x], 255*b[y][x]);
fclose (fp);
