Freezing the bank accounts of the trucker protest and deploying the emergency powers _was_ a bit wild. Even our top court ruled the emergency powers weren't necessary. Opening the windsor bridge, yeah, lets arrest everyone immediately, but clearing the people out of ottawa? That ones not so clear. But no matter how you slice it, the bank account freezing was a precedent that probably shouldn't have been made.

Is there a way to use this within VSCode like copilot , meaning having the "shadow code" appear while you code instead of having to tho back-and-forth between the editor and a chat-like interface ?

For me, a significant component of the quality of these tools resides on the "client" side; being able to engineer a prompt that will yield to accurate code being generated by the model. The prompt needs to find and embed the right chunks from the user current workspace, or even from his entire org repos. The model is "just" one piece of the puzzle.

Personally, I don't feel sad with someone getting banned who thinks LGBT people don't have a right to exist.

I have family who lived in Arizona for awhile, and I visited them. I was always confused why everything in Arizona wasn't covered in solar panels, because it seemed like ideal solar energy scenario. Of course, with these kinds of things there's often some thing you don't think of at first but it just seemed like every single parking shade and roof could be covered in solar and it would work very very well. Not only is solar radiation intense there, but it's a daily expectation, and the trees to the extent they exist (mostly mesquite) generally don't grow higher than the surrounding buildings.
Thanks for reading!

>you think you will bootstrap something again?

Yes, definitely. Not hardware again because I think getting to the scale where you can use external vendors is so difficult and risky that it requires more specialized hardware expertise or VC backing.

I'm going to start with educational products because I liked my brief experience with that and never had time during TinyPilot, but I'd eventually like to build a SaaS that I can grow in a calm, sustainable way.

I remember when the US invaded Iraq(II) it was treated like a party. The media loved it, it was like a football game. And when out to eat, I saw a lot of Americans were loving it , it was entertainment. Shock and Awe, it was spectacle.
So we're saying that the reason jets should be able to be tracked by anyone, in real time, is so we can enable targeted moral shaming? Everyone, regardless of wealth or mode of transportation should have the right to not be publicly real-time tracked. Let's find more constructive ways to solve our larger scale societal problems than to fall back on mob rule.

I know the "85%" meme that HN parrots incessantly but that’s not the fully story (not sure why anyone would expect programmers to be experts on federal incarceration nuances… I only am after a friend wound up in federal prison)
"The fact that I think it's wrong for the public to be able to trivially track anyone?"

It's not "anyone", it's people with a lot of social and economic power, that through their means of transportation does a lot more damage to society and our habitat than most people that get sentenced for a crime in the courts.

If it gets public that you smoked some weed or did some oxy without a physician signing off on it then it should obviously be public that you are rich, and that you refuse to mingle with the plebs and instead fart out tons and tons of carbon dioxide.
Going to The WBB in the 80's was a great experience. So many books to browse, it felt like they had every magazine and periodical in existence. But it did get a lot worse by the 2000's, turning into what Indigo has become selling gifts and other things. But definitely a high point of the pre-2000 retail experience like the huge record stores on Yonge St that are now all gone. Also, in a Toronto Gen X retail deep cut, Mr Gameways Ark was just up the street and was a mecca for 80's Toronto D&D players.

The Loneliness of the Modern Worker
Not only do I not find the inverted ones more sound, some of them don’t even apply (e.g. the meaning of the word “happiness” was different in Jefferson’s day than today).
It's recently (last few years?) become popular in some crowds to replace "_____ people" with "people of _____". It's based on the theory that the former implies an inherent trait while the latter implies a current status. (It's also of course become popular in other crowds to mock this construction by using it in ways that its original proponents would presumably object to.)

Utopia Must Fall
Utopia Must Fall is a browser game (for mobile too) that evokes the days of 1970s and 80s vector scan arcade games. There are nods to Asteroids, Gravitar, Tac-Scan, Space Fury and other more modern titles like Geometry Wars, with gameplay reminiscent of Missile Command but with a research and upgrade upgrade system. The password is CEASEFIRE if it asks.
This seems just like a single argument and counter argument against the sentience (or lack thereof) of AI today. I feel like the article lacks some broader views on the nature of sentience, and is quite narrow in its approach

"The government should solve every problem" is a totalizing idea the Liberals have implemented though.

We see this in the job growth numbers, for example, that show massive federal government hiring and anemic private sector growth. A market solution would have federal incentives create private sector growth to accomplish goals.

> I sadly have not gotten much traction when I try and advocate for this mindset in our industry.

Yeah, I know what you mean. It's become a bit of a primary signal for how I evaluate a company's engineering culture. I've been lucky to work with some fantastic people who really get it, and I've also struggled and suffered through working with those who do not.

> Even the best, most sophisticated tools will not produce a working solution if you don’t understand the problem.

I'm sure we've all seen some awful monstrosities—or created them ourselves—that we could call a technically working solution to a given problem ... but it doesn't mean anyone wants to work on it. Keeping complexity at bay requires finding the simplest solutions that isolate essential and accidental complexity. Simplicity is hard, and it requires doing this well, constantly. It is [ahem] essential to spend the time required to isolate the problem and articulate it clearly. If you can't isolate and articulate the problem without referencing your tech stack and tooling, or your explanation gets all muddy and convoluted, you haven't actually identified the essential complexity of a problem. You're still stuck in accidental complexity territory. And that's a horrible place to be designing and architecting your software from.

It's also critical to note that over the lifetime of any piece of software, as new things come up—new bugs, new features, etc—you have to keep re-engaging the same process, and evaluating/reflecting on how new things fit (or don't!) within your existing architecture/design. Failing to do so is what drives toward infinite complexity and endless "tech debt" in poorly designed software. Well-designed software isolates and encapsulates all the accidental complexity into its own space(s), leaving open avenues to adjust and expand the software. Well-designed interfaces allow you to refactor, reshape, and grow the internals of a problem domain in isolation from its callers. This requires discipline from a software team—and its leadership—to take the time necessary to adjust and refactor as priors change. Such work should always be moving the needle toward greater team velocity and individual productivity.

> Did you take AP tests in high school?

Yep, sure did! I definitely remember what you're describing here.
Ok, so really you can't "just move to anywhere in the US tomorrow without issue" since you're raising issues.

I don't understand, you complained about an hour commute each way, I thought you wanted to reduce that, not move to the midwest. Anyway tons of people who work in Manhattan live in Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, even the Bronx or (god forbid) New Jersey. Plenty of public transportation from just about anywhere in the region.

I said how well societies work, and have also used words like "thrive" and "prosperous". We have evolved to be that way, it's our local optima just like beehives have evolved a different local optima.

And that's exactly what I did. Humans starve to death under communism - every time it has been tried. Nobody starves due to loose morals.
I do not have a second account.

I don't know what "it" is in that comment; I fear "it" is still some sort of macro capability, which doesn't exist, at dev time, compile time, run time, or otherwise. Like I said, the idea that "go generate" is some sort of macro language other than a thin wrapper around a command to run is very common.

I suppose it would be interesting to try to get people to describe this macro language that supposedly exists. What's the macro look like to transparently wrap a string in a print statement for debugging?

Agree, most of the Brits I know think it's hilarious that it's ended up as a term of art, and Americans are generally completely oblivious to its meaning.

I am in no great hurry to change the word though. It's not something that comes up much outside of extremely technical contexts, and whilst it's a bad word, its regional character and multiple meanings kinda make it fine. It's not like it is being used for the meaning that's offensive, the meanings have unrelated histories (and the offensive one is much newer).

I don't think it would be right to change an ordinary English word because it sounded similar to an offensive word in a foreign language, and I think that's essentially what's happened here.
People join the likes of the CIA because they know the name CIA and set it as a goal. No different from large companies.

But as people set goals the work at a certain place, people lesser-qualified slowly join the ranks until the place is a shell of what it used to be, made up of posers.

Can't let the truly skilled individuals do great work either, otherwise it'll expose the unskilled individuals' lack-of-purpose in that place, so bureaucracy gets built and gets in the way of everybody trying to do real work.
This is a huge opportunity for shareholders to get paid $56B to fire Musk and turn around the company.

Huge swaths of ideal Tesla buyers are turned off by his behavior. He has polarized the brand.

I can't deny his genius or all he has achieved. I own a Tesla I bought after the X purchase. It's the best car I've ever owned by a wide margin, and notably, the Model Y is the best-selling car on earth.

That said, I am the CEO of a company, and I have no personal social media presence; I am a registered independent, and I work to be the reason clients choose us, or at least not be the reason they don't. That's why so many CEOs are bland.

When you run any company the goal is to let the products and the people behind it shine. This is fundamentally opposed to Musk's rockstar me me me approach. Granted, his approach was great initially, but to cross the chasm, Tesla needs to appeal to everyone.
And the similarities between AS and TS (or especially JS) are very superficial. They share some grammar, and utilize many of the same type system features, but AS is fundamentally a different language with fundamentally different semantics (which are much closer to WASM, and then much closer to those other compile-to-WASM choices).
But this is not a recent phenomenon - it's a poorly-publicized fact of life that naive young men of each generation keep have been rediscovering for decades, perhaps centuries. Example: I read the autobiography of a certain chemical engineer (the name escapes me, will look it up later) who, while growing up in Southern US in the 1940s, described that he was shocked to discover that it was completely normal for a girl to date multiple boys at the same time.
Sure, they could have - but didn't. Probably because they were strongly biased toward nonces being generated by a counter, and separating an external 'message counter' from the internal 'block counter' is a nice scheme to have essentially unlimited, large messages without any concern for nonce reuse.

Except for subsequent experiences showing us that reliably keeping track of a counter can be a lot harder than it first appears, hence the attractiveness of randomized nonces.
Where is the money in this situation? Very unlikely this will have any impact on sales moving forward.

Yeah, I think a lot of other touchpads are working around the Apple design patents on their touchpad. The software integration and gestures also tend to be better. Doesn't annoy me too much.

Similar for the screen(s)... I mean, I have calibrated displays on my work and personal desks, and usually work docked, so my laptop use is generally casual content, email, forums, etc when traveling a few times a year.

The touchpad and screen has pretty much been the main two reasons I have been on mac laptops since 2010 or so. I'm just tired of the Windows and Apple games regarding locking things down, and would just prefer to have a Linux environment everywhere. The few key binding differences on Mac throw me off to this day, and I'm kind of over it all.

It's fairly common in the US that people of public interest have fewer privacy protections than your average citizen (the public figure doctrine).

I - and many others - believe that these public figures should be held accountable for their actions due to their outsized influence on society. Holding someone accountable for their actions requires transparency, something this law removes.

When thinking about this it's very important to recognize what this means exactly. The money is not put on a pile and set on fire. It goes somewhere where it has very significant impact, most likely flowing into military-industrial complex which is a huge chunk of domestic economy.
Can you get it right without an IDE?
This sort of thing is probably a lot less surprising to businesspeople than software developers. Developers may think the world works like a computer, and that business contracts and agreements are like computer code. Businesspeople know that a contract is only as good as your ability to hold the other party to its terms. There may be deviations from what was agreed to, and you might just accept it or you might try to fight it but (a) that will cost you money and (b) nobody is going to give you that money up front. And there are extra risks when one party is a lot bigger/wealthier and/or a monopoly.

> Tim-like pedantry corner: the quarries and the catacumbs are actually the same thing. Catacumbs are parts of the quarries that have been turned to ossuaries, and are reachable from the wider quarry network.

Fair enough. It’s still useful to distinguish them because they evoke different things. Also, aren’t the bits we can visit physically separated from the broader quarry network due to cave-ins?

> I'm not that sure, since he does not want to do illegal stuff

He certainly used to do this sort of things (and I did not check recently but in the past he posted some videos filmed in places where he was not allowed to be).

There are places that are normally closed off but that can be open occasionally like during the heritage days. At least one quarry, the Montsouris reservoir, and I think parts of the old sewers as well. Those are already quite cool and interesting.

> It's actually the opposite. There's a constant cat-and-mouse game going on, and they're switching strategies recently, which I could experience first-hand.

There’s always a bit of both. I don’t have a recent first hand experience, it’s just a mate who works with the Parisian fire brigade. There are near misses regularly, though rarely as bad as the teenagers who got lost for 3 days a couple of years ago.

> they're emphasizing safety and not hurting yourself because they "don't want to get woken up at 9AM a sunday morning because someone got lost".

Damn, show us your brilliant prompt then. LLMs cannot do this, not even in python, of which there are libraries like Blacksheep that honestly make it a trivial task.
I created a simple CLI app that does this in my workspace, which is under source control so after the LLM execution all the changes are highlighted by diff and the LLM also creates a COMMIT_EDITMSG file describing what it changed. Now I don't use chatgpt anymore, only this cli tool.

I never saw something like this integrated directly on VSCode tho (and isn't my preferred workflow anyway, command line works better).
what if you haven't put enough money into the business to give it a fair chance at scaling?
I usually through some complex Rust code with lifetime requirements. And ask them to fix it.
LLMs aren't capable on providing much help for that in general, other than some very basic cases.

The best way to get your work done is still to look into Rust forums.

This isn't to do with aircraft registration: it's to do with the fixed airframe identifier in the Mode-S data. By default, a single airframe (plane) will also squawk the same identifier on Mode-S, which can be picked up by passive receivers owned by the general public.
