Ah, I figured since they’d been on the board of an org that did exactly that bad thing, on a grand scale, they couldn’t possibly seriously care about it. Maybe they were in very early and so briefly that they weren’t party to that.

Feature not a bug.

Student loans were designed to do exactly what they did (very successfully):

1. Allowed Universities to exponentially increase tuition/room & board costs that would have otherwise been unaffordable by the market; and

2. Indebted millions of 18-22 years olds for the next 40 years of their lives or their entire working lives until they were eligible for social security at age 62.

Perhaps what wasn’t anticipated was the job market and economy failing so miserably that borrowers wouldn’t be able to service their loans and default in mass, although this slowly occurred over 30 years so the writing was on the wall but like most disasters it was (and still is) ignored. Eventually things would turn so bad economically that student loan borrowers would in mass return home after college until their mid 30’s, forego marriage and children.
Again, that doesn't tell the whole story. As we've discussed, solar research predates the episode by quite a long time, and Carter's efforts were not just about the energy crisis, but also about setting the foundation for future pro-environmental efforts (which were not necessarily about climate change at the time, but that certainly bled into those concerns later on). Your characterization seems to try to make Reagan's later actions seem more rational, when they very well may not have been based on anything but his disdain for his predecessor and his policies. We don't really know.

Perhaps one reason that there are so many low-productivity developers is because there's not as much opportunity to specialize and hone one's skills?
I'm not sure about that, there haven't been too many large European tech companies growing up in the aftermath of GDPR. While it's probably a small factor, I do think this general climate of regulation hurts smaller companies more than is generally acknowledged.

> What convinced you to let them play?

They had friends that played it and they wanted to play it with their friends. So we started out small by letting them play it only when their friends were visiting. That gave me a way to say yes, but also with strict limits. Once I got to know it better, I got comfortable letting them play it on their own.

I also let them know that if they ever want to buy Robux (the in game currency), that they will be using their own money. It gives them experience with budgeting and valuing money. My daughter has spent most of her Christmas and birthday money already on toys and Robux, and she is learning that money is finite and should be spent wisely.

Once cool thing about it: my daughter's best friend is our neighbor's granddaughter, but she live 2 hours away. However, Roblox plus video calls means they still get to play together regularly.
I also recall DESCRIPT.ION files back in the day.
Fascinating. As someone who has written (and read) a lot of code and written (and read) a lot of legal language, and as someone who has consistently recommended that young people learn programming principles before going to law school, I'd be very curious to see if reading a complex contract prompted the same response.

I always heard that "you'll never read for pleasure again" after law school, but, if anything, I read for pleasure more now than I ever did, and my work "reading" feels like something completely removed from it.
I think a big part of this is changing social values. It takes a certain amount of callousness and abstraction to not obsesses over distant problems, and western society has deemed these characteristics shameful. Instead unbounded compassion carries more social currency and esteem.

Maintaining mental health requires the ability to balance these skills and perspectives.

Good things to remember. Forget McMansions though – a primary reason that many in the US feel poorer than their parents or grandparents is that, even with two incomes, they cannot afford to buy any house at all (even a townhouse or modest "starter" home) within 100 miles of their place of employment.

Yes, and they partially have. Browsers are great at telling you where the chain has failed/ been cut, though some error messages seem to be intentionally uninformative as provided information would be meaningless to your average user.

That said, from an enthusiast perspective, running traceroute to the nearest google service (1e100.net for example) will already give you a huge tip on where things went wrong.
I don't understand what you mean by easier way, because it's always going to be a script. Unless you mean some low code/no cool tool that was already tailor made to do this.

SoftBank targets $9B a year in AI investments while hunting bigger deals
It's not that I don't want memory safety or that I feel superior - what I want is to write the fastest possible portable code. That's what C does, and nothing more.

Memory management, array bounds checking and a bunch of other 'safe' features have a price that I'm not willing to apply broadly and redudantly to all of my software.

I'm going for speed, that's why I'm using a Ferrari. Corolla's are fast and safe - use those, don't lobby for Ferrari to add safety to their cars at the expense of speed.

There are hundreds of languages. Use those. Write transpilers for C code for software that shouldn't have been written in C because it had to be safe. That would be a better use of your time.
Oh, come on. Next, you're going to claim that Clojure is not "an actual Lisp" because it contains neither "Common" nor "Lisp" in the name? Clojure is a proper Lisp. Period. It's homoiconic, it has macros, it is a Lisp-1 Lisp, not "kind of a Lisp-1 thing" or "a thing with a Lispy syntax." It is a proper, legit, respectable addition to the family of Lisps. Yes, it's not a Common Lisp, but it's a Lisp nevertheless. A three-wheeled car is still considered a car. While it may fall into a specific category of vehicles and sometimes be classified as a motorcycle or under a special designation depending on the jurisdiction, it is generally recognized as a type of car.

> why not just learn a functional language like Elixir or Haskell

Have you ever considered that specifically because Clojure borrowed some ideas from Lisp, some from object-oriented languages, and some from FP, it makes it a really good choice for certain applications and developers?

Besides, is it really a big deal not to have proper continuation/restart in Clojure? It really depends. For many use cases, the error handling techniques in Clojure are adequate and align well with its functional paradigms. I've been using Clojure for several years and haven't heard anyone seriously complaining about the lack of continuations, despite many former Common Lispers now being full-time Clojuristas. There are also some philosophical differences: The philosophy behind Clojure focuses on simplicity and building software with different tools and techniques, which can achieve similar robustness in practice. So, I don't know. Sure, I personally wouldn't mind having built-in support for continuations in Clojure, and there were some attempts to bring that via libraries, but this was never a "high priority thing" for Clojurists. If in 17 years of existence of Clojure (and almost 40 years of Emacs Lisp), that never became a thing everyone wants, I guess it's not as critical as you paint it to be.

It's hard to check the calculations used, but couple of items - structural (40 t) and propulsion (38 t) - aren't clear. If some reductions are possible in these areas, they could save up to 70-80 t, bringing required payload to 120-130 t, which is close to what Starship is planned to have.

In other words, it's good to have an analysis; it would also be good to clarify existing questions to the analysis.
Fun fact, when comprehending sign language the narrator voice is the same as when comprehending vocal language. By the same I mean that it works and "sounds" the same, but obviously it has the grammar and vocabulary of whatever sign language you're communicating in. The exact same parts of the brain are at work, too.

I think this implies that the narrator voice isn't really a "sound echo" but rather your comprehension at work. Just like when reading text.
This war is not being fought to simply stop Hamas. That much is absolutely evident, from so many public declarations from virtually every member of Israel's government. The purpose of this war is, again, to punish all the people of Gaza for their colective guilt; and, it is also fought to actually retake some of their land for illegal Israeli settlers.

The reason this is clear is also because killing Hamas achieves nothing, if you also destroy so much of the livelihood (and lives) of those living there. Even if Israel kills each and every last Hamas operative, in 5 years time at the worse, there will be new fighters taking their place, even more radical: what other reaction would anyone expect from people whose families you murdered, whose house you destroyed, whose entire future you've erased?

And again, the solution to all of this was (and still is, in the long term) to stop killing the people of Palestine and stealing more and more of their land. If Israel just accepted the victory they've already achieved in their conquests in the 1940s and later, and allowed Palestine to be an independent, functional country, as almost achieved in the Oslo accords (before Israel sabotaged that process), then Palestinians would have also stopped attacking Israel, a long time ago.

And please remember that Netanyahu has prouded himself for a long time in his ability to prevent a two-state solution, and considers Hamas a good ally in this goal. When, after this war, a new terrorist organization rises up instead of Hamas as a reaction to the slaughter, you can bet that Netanyahu or another similar Israeli politician will again favor them and seek to allow them to control Gaza, so that no dialog can ever happen and they get to keep the people of Gaza living in inhuman conditions.

Anyone who sincerely wants more lives to saved can only want a two-state solution to be achieved as soon as possible. The killing will quickly stop once that truly happens. The only reason to not believe that is if you follow the far-right Israeli position that sees Palestinians as sub-human beasts.
This is one of those ones where my instinct is "no": not only would you have to not cause an interruption or reflection that the break detection TDR systems could see, and crack any encryption, and sample what you want from the Tbps, all from a small box under the sea, but also you have to somehow get that data out and back to base, again from under the (mostly radio-opaque) sea and halfway around the world, all without even a whisper of a clue to the tappees.

Then I remember how far ahead the likes of the NSA and NRO are compared to what we're familiar with, and become rather less sure. The Orion satellites have 100m radio dishes, and were first launched in the 90s. Two Hubble-like telescopes were so old hat that they were donated to NASA in 2012. Considering that the NRO is so secrecy-oriented that its very existence was classified until 1992 (it went 11 years completely undetected, and leaked via a New York Times article in 1971 and an accidental entry in a budget report in 1973) and no mission since 1972 is declassified, this says a lot about how much further on they are.

Then again, if unattended taps were installed on cables, you'd also expect them to occasionally be found when lifting cables for repair. And they'd be so advanced that it might be worth lifting an entire cable to check for and acquire such a tap. Which means the tappers would think twice about putting one in, if they could then lose it.
There's nothing wrong with liking it that way, it's just more porridge-like because of the starch if you don't wash it and some people prefer individual rice grains.

UI flow for new videos is awkward (reading on mobile and not using kindle). I paste the YouTube url and then I'm supposed to wait and try again in a few minutes? give me a new page and have it just say "processing" until it's ready.
Just because you don't understand it, doesn't mean it's insane. It just means that your view of the world is different from others.
I sometimes scan over 300 documents at a time. They are OCR-ed, but this does not make them easy to search when they are unindexed (on cloud drives, or on disk/tape for archival purposes). So it is important to name them and tag them with relevant keywords.

Usually I just want the LLM to extract the document title and unique information (document numbers, companies mentioned on the document, people mentioned in the document, dates, and similar).

The entire workflow is this:

1. Prepare a batch of documents with Patch-T codes and load them into an automatic feed scanner.

2. Scan documents with NAPS2 and OCR, producing PDF files as they are scanned.

3. My python script monitors the output directory, picks up batches of files at a time, and processes them sequentially. The first page of each document is loaded as text, the text is fed into llama2 (the last one I used) through Ollama with a few-shot prompt, roughly in-context trained for my sort of documents, it outputs a file name.

4. The file is renamed and moved to a processed directory.

5. Optionally, I will also run a second step to generate tags.

I do not organize my every day files this way, it is specifically for digitizing and making redundant archival copies of old documents, which I collect.

This is a bespoke pipeline that fits very well for my workflow. The renaming is very accurate after I have perfected the context that I pass to Ollama, and the final files are easily searchable on slow-read media. I have not yet added any kind of computer vision because I scan so few photographs that I can label them myself. I agree with you that naming is personal, but I think that we can train the LLMs to name things the way we expect them to be named. And at some point, the human cost of labelling large amounts of data may make certain workloads simply impossible.

Interestingly, my pipeline is very slow. It runs on an old GPU and takes about 30 seconds to produce just the few tokens to name a file, and about the same for the tags. I will probably move it to an even slower pipeline on a Mac mini M1 when I have the time, just to save on electricity. Because ultimately, it finishes in a few hours and it doesn't take up any of my time. What would be a full-time labelling job for a human is now a full-time job for a machine, which makes the archival hobby feasible and cheap.

But that's not the full answer. In company after company, I've seen (and been amazed by) engineers who even at a young age (as in, first job out of college) somehow leapfrog the others and deliver a ton of awesome code, constantly. They simply don't struggle with it. And meanwhile, most of their peers (even older, more experienced ones) hit roadblocks at every turn.

Alex here—- one of the team members behind the project.

We built this for the Llama3 Cerebral Valley Hackathon. The idea was this: My ~/Downloads folder is extremely messy, and I wanted an agent to fix it for me. So we built one.

LlamaFS reads file contents and metadata to Ollama with LlamaIndex, Moondream, and Whisper to understand what it’s about. It renames the files according to a specified pattern and organizes similar files into directories. Also, LlamaFS doesn’t overwrite anything until you explicitly ask it to (no risk of deleting anything precious)

One cool thing we benchmarked with AgentOps was the speed. It goes pretty fast, ~500ms per file.
