I'm allergic to latent space because I've yet to find any meaning to it beyond poetics, I develop an acute allergy when it's explicitly related to visually dimensional ideas like clustering.

I'll make a probably bad analogy: does your mindmap place things near each other like my mindmap?

To which I'd say, probably not, mindmaps are very personal, and the more complex we put on ours, the more personal and arbitrary they would be, and the less import the visuals would have

ex. if we have 3 million things on both our mindmaps, it's peering too closely to wonder why you put mcdonalds closer to kids food than restaurants, and you have restaurants in the top left, whereas I put it closer to kids foods, in the top mid left.
If you are the Ontario Provisional Pension, you expect to make roughly the same in every category you invest in, since every higher return option comes with higher risk.

A collection of different tools to analyze your Ruby test suite performance
I haven't used React Native so I can't speak to that... but... Flutter is awesome!

I have used Flutter to build an App which I distribute on iOS, Android, Web and MacOS using the same code. It is fantastic.

Here are some of Flutters advantages.

* Performance: Flutter's architecture, using its own rendering engine (Skia), leads to smoother, faster performance compared to React Native's reliance on native bridges.

* Single Codebase: Flutter promotes a "write once, run anywhere" philosophy. You can build native-like apps for iOS, Android, web, and even desktop with the same codebase. This significantly reduces development time and effort.

* UI Development: Flutter's declarative UI approach (building UIs with widgets) and its rich set of built-in widgets make it incredibly powerful for creating visually appealing and complex UIs.

* Hot Reload: Flutter's hot reload feature allows for rapid development and iteration. Changes you make in your code are reflected instantly in the app, making development faster and more efficient.

* Great for Custom UI: Flutter is a good choice for apps requiring a high level of customization, unique animations, and complex UI designs.

I imagine it becomes obvious if you file 1000 of these a month, not to mention probably many of the people wanting this service were blocked legitly, so its more likely bad requests will be filed.

The sentry demo makes me wonder if this chat-based, IDE interface would be the preferred go-to for Devs for multi-tool, multi-step workflows? Or would they prefer to automate the flow as a background, asynchronous task?

Unity/Unreal engine is still subpar on Linux, Adobe suite doesn't exist, and IDE's... well, I pay for Jetbrains and it's great. But for other creatives, I don't see the jump happening anytime soon.

But sure, assuming minimal Wine wonkiness (nor pray not, some interference on WINE deveoplment by MSFT), I'm sure many gamers can transition to Linux and keep their library intact.

The difference, as I understand it, is that the REPL is the running Lisp, and all of its code. You can inspect or redefine any function inside of Lisp itself, live, no matter how integral, in the same way you input any of your own code.

The interactive mode of interpreted languages is more of a sandbox, from that perspective.
I'm going by the levels of "loose" I regularly see on flights. I regularly see seat belts buckled, effectively fully slacked. It's not everyone, but probably 5%.
I don’t know why you’re asking me those last three questions. First, I’m not a lawyer. Second, I didn’t make any claims that could make those questions relevant.

Instead, I’ll repeat my earlier claim - this was reckless. If they were trying to avoid a strong negative perception, they failed. And they failed with an actor who sued Disney shortly after they paid her $20 million to make a movie.

Moscow’s School 57 is one of the best schools in Russia. It requires rigorous entrance exams, and its graduates include renowned scientists, economists and journalists.

I wanted to love Common Lisp, but as a Vim user every day was a struggle. One typically uses plugins (Slimv, Vlime) that contort buffers in bizarre ways in order to simulate the SLIME EMacs REPL — if not, they will lose out on the interactive development experience that is so central to CL.

Being tied to either EMacs or an enterprise solution like LispWorks to get the full language experience was ultimately a non-starter. I’d love for someone to build an alternative CL development experience that could work in a wider range of text editors and IDEs.

There is a lot to learn from CL, but I think it can be hard to access for most developers.
Forget squarespace websites. AI is such a huge time saver for complex front ends. It doesn’t write the whole thing, but you can easily go from screenshot to code you are better off using as a starter than typing it all up yourself.

> What a poisonous, progress stunting way of looking at the world

How could my position be progress stunting... "We need to do something" is progress _advocacy_. To argue that nothing needs to change is progress _denial_.

>Nobody manufactured the desire in the developing world...

From here you reach "So nothing needs to be done, everything functioning as expected".

The problem is:

> It's so hot in Mexico that howler monkeys are falling dead from the trees.

Something must be done! And as a card-carrying member of the Global North, I will do my part to advocate for change.

> [you] implicitly position those of the "global South" as nearly brainless, helpless victims of their superiors.

I would never do such a thing. I merely accept that the Global North has hegemony on defining our culture. Those in the Global South are not brainless and helpless, but I can't help them, I am up here! I can only advocate for change within my culture which for some reason has an undue impact on other cultures.

> The ideology isn't even imposed

You may think you operate in a hyper-rationalistic post-ideological manner, but you are just as much of an ideologue as the rest of us.

Of course you can 'choose your ideology'... Hey, for example I change my ideology to socialist! Yay, now I live in socialism! Oh wait, I still have to consume in a system that requires child labor and wage-slavery. The ideology of liberal capitalism is _forced_ on us, or we can go to the woods and die alone.

You come across as being extremely condescending. And I’m sure you make some good points, but I can’t find them behind the tone. It’s a shame because again, I’m sure you make good points.
Very good to hear this. As a data analyst, I have tended to dismiss LLMs as irrelevant because of the black-box mentality. In some industries, this even holds back adoption of technology that is now considered mature and boring, like tree ensembles in machine learning.
while the back-of-the-napkin math is surprisingly not terrible, of course it's a log scale so Mar's Law is relevant: "Everything is linear if plotted log-log with a fat magic marker".

Mashey was really talking about workstations, not PCs. of course, the line is blurred or non-existent now. what if we look at x86ish PCs?

presume that in 1995, a nicely appointed high-end PC was a 486DX-33 (w/487) and 16MB of ram. that requires 24 bits of physical address. using 3/2*bits per year estimate, we find that we need more than 32 bits around 1995+(3/2*(32-24)) = 2007.

AMD64 came out in 2003/4. but my own recollection is it wasn't really the sunset for 32 bit PCs until just about that timeframe (2007 ish). so that's not too far off.

now apply forward to when we "use up" 48 bits (or 52). and it would be around 2031-2037. possible?

now the other thing, is that (imho) a nicely appointed PC today in 2024 is 64GB (36 bits) vs. 16GB (24 bits) in 1995. does this track? not really. the 2 bits every 3 years would predict that we'd want 64GB machines in 2011? that's not really realistic. and it'd predict that we'd want ~16TB PCs by 2025.

it seems apparent that the exponential growth that was happening in the 1980s and 1990s has either slowed substantially or is no longer exponential for perhaps the last 20ish years.

i think the lesson (and for Moore's law too) is that apparent exponential growth is not going to continue forever.
I’m a FreeCAD devotee. I switched after Fusion’s terms changed a few years ago. I regret nothing.

It does require some patience. Not everything is obvious or intuitive, but I think this is a matter of time. I think FreeCAD is going to experience the same kind of growing up that Blender did, quite shortly.
I wonder if it can be like those California proposition notices, just include it everywhere just in case
I definitely agree on it not being intuitive. Something where I likely will spend hundreds of hours of work and learning is something I want to be unambiguously available to suddenly being taken away from me or be behind a paywall of thousands of dollars. You are 100% correct though that this tradeoff isn't for most people.

Artificial Intelligence Trained to Draw Inspiration from Images, Not Copy Them
The lisp world has a rather different idea of extensibility via library than you are used to.

For example, the Common Lisp Object System (CLOS, object oriented programming in lisp) originated as a library. Lisp's main looping mechanism (loop) also originated as a macro (although long before CL standardization).

You just don't do js levels of dependencies when they're adding big features like that. You don't need 100,000 programming paradigms in your code base.

The main issue imo is that the larger the spread between rich and poor gets in a society, the worse these kinds of issues become. I've lived in a great many countries in my life, and although they all have their idiosyncrasies, one thing that's always stood out in comparison to average quality of life (poverty, crime, security) has been the rich-poor spread. The worse it gets, the worse everything else gets.

You don't have to "make everything equal" like so many idealists (Socrates, Marx, Keynes) tried. There has to be a certain amount of inequality, just like there has to be a certain amount of corruption and a certain amount of general dissatisfaction with how things are. But at the opposite end, allowing these things to grow unchecked is madness. I now live in a society where you lose 70% of anything you inherit from your parents, and that seems to be about right for draining money out of the rich and putting it back into circulation. You still get a boost from having rich parents, but not so much that nobody else could ever compete with your luck of birth - and it gets a lot harder to form black holes of wealth. The society works well, poverty is minimal, competition is good.

Why are you sympathetic to it? Their fund, at this point, can make enough off interest on a basic CD to not just pay for every possible cost they could have until the end of time, but make the maintainer(s) obscenely wealthy without breaking a sweat.

I don't know about complaints but Ms. Johansson might be able to win a civil suit in that hypothetical situation. It would depend on the facts of the particular case, particularly any evidence that the defendants acted in bad faith.

Please, do point out the irony, since I clearly don't see it. I never claimed someone needed to have personal experience in this area to make a judgement. Everyone during the discussions was judging McCandless as he was presented in the book. Whether it was heavily editorialized or not is irrelevant, because everyone who was making the judgements were working with the same information. It could have been 100% fabricated, and it would still be ridiculous (in my opinion) to call him a hero.

There's tonnes of video evidence that Apartheid Israel is carrying out war crimes and genocide. Intentionally targeting and killing civilian groups and infrastructure, starving the population; the IDF hasn't allowed the aid trucks through and soldiers stand by as Israelis destroy the truck contents, doctors having to do amputations of multiple limbs without anaesthesia, 25 000 women and children killed; 10 000 unaccounted for. They targeted all infrastructure needed to live, be it hospitals, universities. Apartheid Israel is ethnically cleansing Gaza and the West Bank through terror.

Hamas would exist if not for the occupation. Or else there will inevitably be a Hamas 2.0

This is exactly like uMkhonto we Sizwe in Apartheid in South Africa, it doesn't exist without Apartheid. Or like Hamas isn't the West Bank.

Treat people like human animals, imprison them, occupy them and expect any other outcome is foolish. Apartheid Israel needs to make the first move that doesn't include killing civilians and stealing land.
That was done long ago. See "Orchestron", "American Photoplayer", and "Mills Violano Virtuoso".
A by the way re the war on ISIS:

https://airwars.org/news/raqqa-a-city-destroyed-then-forgott...

https://committees.parliament.uk/writtenevidence/92961/pdf/

No ICC arrest warrants. No encampments. Crickets. How many westerners did ISIS kill? 100? The US, UK, Australia and Russia (+ others?) blitzed the heck out of anything that moved in a place far away that presented no direct existential threat to any of them. Under significantly more favorable conditions on the battlefield than the IDF is facing in Gaza (how many casualties did western powers take in this blitz? zero?)

"In total, these claims allege more than 26,000 non combatant fatalities. Airwars
presently assesses that at a minimum, between 6,300 and 9,700 civilians are likely to have died in Coalition actions overall – approximately 40 percent during the recent battles for Mosul and Raqqa"

"Much of the Old City of Mosul and almost 70% of Raqqa’s entirety have been rendered uninhabitable,
according to the United Nations."

When I was 16 I did a project on whether plants could be used to remove heavy metals from soil. I don’t know why I did this but I did a nitrate test on the plants (because I had been putting lead nitrate into the soil) and drew the conclusion that it must’ve worked.

About 2 weeks before the city science fair I realized my error (none of my teachers had said anything).

So in an attempt to lose, I made my backboard as bad as possible. I didn’t use scissors or glue, I just tore the paper and used masking tape.

Long story short, I have no idea how, but despite my best efforts, I won the city science fair including an HP-48 graphing calculator and a trip to the state science fair.

At the state science fair my backboard (you had to use the same one as the city contest) was mocked by much more studious 8-year olds. I found out that teachers weren’t allowed in the exhibition hall so I just abandoned my space and went to the beach.

I did not win the state science fair.
The sentiment I hate a lot is that this is inevitable because generative AI is far too valuable for the world. Like no one, even the anti-AI writers like OP even seem to want to interrogate this point. Somehow it's only naysayers in comment threads (like here on HN) who question it.

Doomposting from people in the good old op-ed pages who are stereotypically uninformed about the things they're writing about only further feeds the frenzy. Of course, questioning where the current developments pass into hype hurts the frenzy, so it's strange how the anti-AI writers do not seem to adopt this framing at all.
