In addition, I think bash's `operate-and-get-next` can be very helpful. When you go back through your shell history, you can hit Ctrl+o instead of enter and it will execute the command then put the next one in your history on the command line, and keep track of where you are in your history. This way, you can rerun a bunch of commands by going to the first one and Ctrl+o till you are done. And you can edit those commands and hit Ctrl+o and still go to the next previously run command.

Note: fzf's history search feature breaks this. https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/issues/2399

Edit: And up and down will still keep the relative position you are at in your history in case you want to skip a command.
What’s your other option? Are equivalent plans on the health care marketplace any less expensive? Or, would you go without? The latter might work ok if you’re young, single, and don’t have much to lose. For a parent, with a mortgage, and a spouse, and whatever else, that’s a giant risk to take.

But in say Palo Alto, you’ll rarely see black or Hispanic people outside service roles. It’s 85% non-Hispanic white or Asian, which is about as diverse as Wyoming. The south is economically flatter, which means people mix more. Also, because of its affordability, the south is the major destination for upwardly mobile black and Hispanic people.
Mastering recursion is like unicycling.

It is easy once you get it. So easy, in fact, that you are tempted to forget that it was ever hard.

Using recursion safely requires a less natural pattern of thought than if/while/for. Once you get it, sure, it's easy. But lets not trivialize the initial struggle either.
> Anyway I hope it’s abundantly clear that the argument at this point in the thread is not...

I'm not sure why that would be clear at all. The point of my top level comment was that it's difficult to engage with many people about this subject exactly because they rely on "the canaries were wrong..." and "we've survived before" arguments, which were the subject of the article we're all discussing.

I don't even think the doomsday narrative is the interesting or particular relevant one when it comes to examining risk. If all we did was focus on the implications of the tech in its current form and the risks/issues the current iteration already presents, we'd have enough issues to chew on for years ranging from fair use, to copyright, worker's rights, deepfakes, the explosion of misinformation, etc. etc.

These are real issues that exist right now, have no solutions, and all threaten various aspects of the fabric of society and our legal system. I also suspect there are workable solutions to many of these problems, but as of now, they're mostly unsolved and I understand why some people are deeply uncomfortable with continuing to charge forward.

Most technology revolutions don't happy as quickly as what we're seeing with AI, and it's the rate of change that is also spurring on quite a bit of concern.

> It’s that the burden of proof falls on the doomsayers to convince humanity that...

I don't think this is a useful way to frame the issue. Ideally, all parties involved in advancing this tech are engaged in an ongoing conversation/debate about what is or is not a valid concern, and how to address those concerns. Optimists need to be steel-manning the concerns, and pessimists need to be steel-manning the rosy outlook. Everyone involved needs to discard fallacious forms of argument whenever it can be identified.

Framing this as "doomers vs. humanity" polarizes an issue that need not be polarizing. Whether you're a doomer or optimist, there exists underneath all of this the reality of the situation, and it's in the best interest of all involved parties to work towards understanding that reality together, whatever it is.

What I think we can say confidently is that the form of argument called out in the article does not move anyone closer to that understanding.
Is there any kind of task where you could think of the recursive perspective as natural?

(If you have a tail-call optimization, many kinds of recursive process don't require a stack and don't risk an OOM condition!)
Snipkit and Pet.

I prefer Pet, mostly because Snipkit makes me verify 20 times (slight exaggerated) and doesn't give me the actual command so it'll be part of the shell history.

Honestly, just dump the command in my shell and let me press enter and make that the confirmation, but whatever.

You can give arguments with default values, so they are reusable across projects.
Your comment works from an assumption that bad governing is superior to not governing.

I don't agree.

I think particularly at the federal level a deadlocked government that is only able to accomplish a few things that can achieve broad consensus is preferable to one that governs badly and will invade the autonomy of the public who is, by the large part, capable of governing themselves.

Political gridlock is, from that perspective, a feature. Not a bug.

In terms of revealed preferences, clearly the bulk of the US agrees. :)

I think a point that gets missed is that in terms of capacity for causing great evil, money hardly moves the needle. People do-- of course-- intentionally perform minor evils for money, or negligently do somewhat greater evils because of money. Worse than money in terms of ability to do evil is shame and gross incompetence combined with power. But to do grandiose evil, the kind of evil that murders tens of millions, requires someone who wants to "do good".

So to many, a party that wants to "do good" but is transparently incompetent or beholden to irrational views is a lot more troubling than someone who wants to sell things off to the highest bidder and otherwise keep themselves out of trouble. Selling things off to the highest bidder is evil, but evil in bounded, largely predictable, and often recoverable ways.

If you really think that the public in general are rooting for other people's suffering in a meaningful way then I think you need to get offline and go spend time in person with the people who you believe are doing that. I am confident you will find that they aren't.

I didn't even look at the examples, but I knew the author had to be a lisper.

This is what I think is not really being talked about:

So I think women tend to lack mental models men seem to be inculcated with and this seems to be a separate issue from the much more readily recognized issue of gender discrimination.

And you don't talk about it either. You talk about things like subconscious bias in other people.

Bias in other people gets talked about a great deal. It certainly is a real issue but I don't think it fully explains the issue and I think bias and stereotypes have some basis in reality, which people don't like hearing.

Most people "bet the odds" when interacting socially. If bosses tend to be white males, white males get assumed to be the boss instead of the woman or person of color who really is in charge.

It makes "minorities" -- i.e. the people subjected to bias -- really crazy but lots of people actively justify navigating the world this way as the convenient and logical answer and feel that "only an idiot" would waste their time on checking if this is the 10 or 20 percent of the time or whatever that it's not true.

The thing we don't discuss is the degree to which women get effectively brainwashed and trained from birth to assume her man's career comes first, she will do the cooking and cleaning, etc.

It's so invisible you are telling me "it gets discussed" and not noticing that what you think I'm talking about isn't my point at all.

Real world bias exists which actively discriminates against women in all kinds of careers. But there is a more insidious force which convinces women to think and act in ways which undermine their careers and we tend to be older before we have put some of that behind us.

The linked Wikipedia page about the 1974 experiment says "some schools moved their start times later" in response. I agree that trying to get the entire population to shift everything on their schedules at the same time would be inconsistent at best. But many institutions would adjust to the seasons as they see fit. And you want to minimize the inconsistencies; people would pick different cutoffs, different shift amounts, etc. That's the whole point of why it was regulated in the first place.

And DST is demonstrably good during the summer. It lowers crime and improves mood and productivity. It's just not good in the winter, because people in northern latitudes wake up in the cold and dark. It kinda does make sense to have seasonal shifting.

So, unfortunately, the best solution in my opinion is in fact to just lie to ourselves about what time it is for half the year. AKA Daylight Saving.

If there's any single takeaway from recent advances in deep learning, it's that multilayer neural nets allow the simulation of recursion, which is absolutely fundamental to any kind of meaningful reasoning.

Hmm, not really. Starlink only offers 150mbit, at $150/mo, whereas the costs for starting your ISP as presented here is about $25k up front and $3k/mo to keep it running. That's ridiculous for one person, but entirely economically viable if you're literally starting your own local ISP to service a few hundred homes, driving down the one-time signup and monthly fees to something drastically lower than what Starlink charges, for speeds that are drastically higher than what Starlink offers.

But as any business venture: if you don't know whether you can get the customers, you better have the cash lying around to pay for everything yourself =D

>Should OSS solve that "problem"?

If you don't want a cyberpunk-like dystopia of megacorps controlling everything, yes. This is not just affecting the VC-funded startups' profitability but it also affects ordinary software developers' lifestyle businesses too. Sure, the core principles of OSS don't require that you'd be able to earn money from your work, but then perhaps it is OSS which is not fit for purpose, not the desire to earn money from creating software.

>if you want to discourage Amazon from using your product, use AGPL.

The AGPL is still not restrictive enough because you can resell the software without contributing anything back if you don't modify it. Stuff like the SSPL or the Commons Clause are much better to prevent that kind of exploitation.

>FL/OSS will be fine between evening/weekend hackers (xz), small-to-medium companies/consultancies (Rails), and our neo-feudal tech overlords (React).

I find the xz example especially funny because that shows how it is very much not fine. Single developer, burnt out, not getting paid a penny for his thankless work, a bunch of state-sponsored actors pressure him to hand his project over -> backdoor injected. If Lasse Collin could get support for his project, this almost certainly would not have happened.

I was so pleased when I finally discovered the QEMU Monitor.

It is an excellent tool that covers a lot of the gaps in the QEMU documentation.

Curious which devices are memory mapped to which regions on your virtual board and the docs aren’t specific? Check the device info in the monitor!

Want to know what interrupt signals a device might generate and can’t find that info in the docs, use the monitor to check!

It’s honestly a life saver.

A cool tip I recently found to make using the Monitor easier when you are running your QEMU machine in nographic mode is that you can have QEMU read and write the monitor to a file on your system. Then you can use a tool like socat to have one terminal running your QEMU machine and another running your monitor! Super convenient.

Pointers being challenging is the biggest meme in CS education. They're conceptually very simple and the only real challenging part is C's arcane syntax. If you start with assembly for a simple ISA or just teach the concept of pointers first instead of teaching them at the same time as teaching C, then they're dead simple.
The first paragraph of that felt like razor sharp insight, and the rest of post...not wrong perhaps but certainly more diffuse.

> Would you think it would've been a good idea to have foreign investors from Nazi Germany run newspapers and radios in the states in the 1930s and leading up there?

They didn't need to - William Hearst - the Murdoch of the era - signed a $500,000/year contract with the Nazi Government and did that propaganda on their behalf.

It was worse after the US entered the war - legions of US companies kept trading with Nazis and even provided technology to them - like the technology that was used in developing half trucks. The oil, equipment and technology that the US companies were still selling to the Nazis through intermediary countries were killing American soldiers.

Did anything happen to them? No - they were persecuted for 'trading with the enemy' and got off with a slap on the wrist and KEPT TRADING with Nazis until the end of the war.

...

So no, your example does not hold any weight. The only reason the US is trying to ban Tiktok is because it cant compete and it doesn't own a big piece of it.

Its anti competitive behavior and its not new - despite yammering about 'free trade', the US applies trade quotas even to the allies it has 'free trade' agreements with. 'Free trade' is in quotes, because the 'free trade' always happens on the US side - if the other side starts doing too much 'free trade', the US does what it is doing to Tiktok - ban them.

This is despicable as hell. It will gimp the position of the US in world trade A LOT.

Coming from a math background and going into algorithms class, recursion was much easier to grasp than for loops. It really is a pedagogy thing.

I think it comes from the fact that lot of CS majors go into college with years of experience with for loops and barely knowing what recursion is. If you start from a blank slate, I am confident recursion is much easier to understand.

Even taking that claim at face value, "right-wing coded" is hardly the same as "hilariously politicized". Living in rural areas is right-wing coded as well[1], but nobody would seriously call it "hilariously politicized", especially when you consider the broader context of the phrase:

These are categorically different situations. In many places, people literally only have 1 or 2 choices for their ISP - not so for social networks. The degree to which the logic of neutral platforms applies depends on the availability of other options and the cost to switch; in the ISP case, the options are very limited and the cost is monetary and very high, and in the case of social networks the cost is low and purely social and there are many available options.
i was the tech support at every lan party. I think i got relegated to that role because i could whip everyone at starcraft and counterstrike (for instance), so it was usually 3-4 hours of me quickly fixing everyone's network stack and replacing cables, then setting up my computer to join in the fun.

After drinking age we didn't LAN party much anymore, but i would host poker nights with two tables full of people. Less tech support, and i still whipped everyone.

Relatively few people seem think the gov't should largely leave people alone (although it is popular for some folks to say they feel that way while simultaneously agitating for the opposite).
