I think it's good to be aware that there is a lot of bad tutorials/libraries for JavaFX out there. Also many StackOverflow answers are quite outdated as the popularity hit a peak like a decade ago. Also don't use FXML (the weird declarative way of creating GUIs).

I think the best way to get started would be to download the sampler application from https://github.com/mkpaz/atlantafx. That is state of the art, good implementation. You can play around with it and jump to the source code to see how it is implemented. It contains almost everything an application needs.

Also depending how old your general Java knowledge is, the modern way of creating applications is through the module system and the jlink/jpackage tools. There are many outdated solutions for application packaging out there as well. If anything you see is using the classpath, builds jars or fat jars, or is using external tools outside the JDK, it's probably old and no longer appropriate.
Most or indeed all of that doesn't need screen-scraping though.
We definitely won't be able to fix it fast enough. And the answer to "what happens?" is simply: Darwin.

There is already historical precedent for what happens when a species makes the planet uninhabitable for nearly everything: after the evolution of photosynthesis, the atmosphere filled up with extremely toxic waste product known as oxygen gas, driving most species to extinction. The ecology recovered, with new species, millions of years later.

Rich people won't survive in their bunkers, either.

While a heavier vehicle at times needs more energy - trains are a counter example to consider. Magnitudes heavier, but do not need magnitudes more fuel.

Which comes to Newton's laws of motion, the two concepts of inertia and Newton's second law: "F=ma", come into play. If the course is a straight 100 mile segment with no elevation gain - then the dominant fuel expenditure will be counter-acting aerodynamic drag. When trains haul many cars, the train cars are drafting behind one another, meaning those cars do not need any force to overcome drag, just the lead car needs to do that.

So, places where trains do badly, will be places where weight matters. Urban environments when stopping/starting a lot - trains will keep it slow. Very hilly/mountainous courses - trains "nope" that and require shallow grades. Which goes to show, if you're spending most of your time fighting gravity - then weight is really important, if most of the time is fighting aerodynamic drag, then weight becomes less important as aerodynamic drag decreases. For example, it does not matter as much how heavy a bullet train is, the drag coefficient is a better indicator of overall fuel cost rather than carry weight.

> It's not a terrible shorthand for discussing something that reads and responds as if it had some kind of mind

I really don't see it like that—it has very little memory, it has no ability to introspect before "choosing" what to say, no awareness of the concept of the coherency of statements (i.e. whether or not it's saying things that directly contradict its training), seems to have little sense of non-pattern-driven computation beyond what token patterns can encode at a surface level (e.g. of course it knows 1 + 1 = 2, but does it recognize odd notation/can it recognize and analyze arbitrary statements? of course not). I fully grant it is compelling evidence we can replicate many brain-like processes with software neural nets, but that's an entirely different thing than raising it to a level of thought or consciousness or self-awareness (which I argue is necessary in order to appropriately issue coherent statements, as perspective is a necessary thing to address even when attempting to make factual statements), but it strikes me as a lot closer to an analogy for a potential constituent component of a mind rather than a mind per se.
I have only been somewhat paying attention, but there were lots of stories about someone "cracking" the implementation of Recall and getting access to the locally-stored database. The criticism is that it is easily accessible, but it's hard for me to imagine it any other way and have it still be useful. It's still encrypted at rest, but must be unencrypted for data to be written to it.

There is plenty to criticize about Microsoft, but that one seems manufactured.

As far as I know, the database is local, and Recall does not use the cloud at all. That also means that you can't view the history from one computer on another. But I agree that trust that it will stay that way is not particularly wise.
There is an effectively infinite number of possibilities of things people could throw at it and they can't know ahead of time whether your use case will work or not. Even if they told you exactly how it worked, you wouldn't know for sure until you tried it. And giving a vague explanation wouldn't help you either.

> when we should be actively striving for a sustainable society

Sorry to sound frustrated, but this is an argument for 60 years ago. It's irrelevant today. The die is cast. There is no situation when we will not even need technology to fix the problem for us, except the one where we just give up and say "fuck it". No models show an insignificant rise in global temperature, even if all emissions stopped today, and there is no foreseeable scenario in which all emissions stop even in the next 50 years. We need to get with the program. It sucks, we don't want it to be this way, but we are basically down to science and engineering solutions rather than regulatory or ground-level change.

Not saying we don't also need systemic change, just that is is not sufficient at this point.
AMD doesn’t bother to compete for unknown reasons.

Intel will likely catch up in time and they are very good at competing so this will change but not for a long time.
That is why I mentioned post-filtering the recording as the alternative. Grab the full recording then filter to just the relevant results before inspection.

If I knew that the data could be absolutely kept safe and private to me, I’d love a feature like this. Keeping track of my work over time would be so much easier.

The natural next step is to have a local model trained on everything I’ve ever done, and for all of my computing tasks to be contextual to that history.

I could see this transforming how we use computers.

But I wouldn’t go anywhere near Recall.

I suspect Microsoft is pushing this so hard because they want to do what I just described, and they want to start collecting the data necessary to enable it ASAP.

I can easily see a future capability that people might love that they wouldn’t have even known to ask for. But the way they’re rolling out Recall is certainly not a good foundation.

I am a big fan of automatically generating optimizing VMs from interpreters, like Graal (in this article) and also PyPy and others do. But the other approach, of writing a custom JIT for each language, seems much more flexible even if it is more dangerous and time-consuming.

On small benchmarks I can believe the performance can be very similar between them, but I'd be more interested in large real-world codebases. I'm not aware of any myself, and can't seem to find any. Does anyone know?

It depends. In my experience generally GraalVM is slower to start, but after a few iterations it can be as fast or faster, and that the same results can be amplified if you use the JVM instead of AOT (i.e. it's even slower to start, but eventually it can be much faster.)

Of course this all depends on your specific code and uses cases.
Yeah so you had time to do the shopping, cooking, and portioning every week which is at least a few hours right? And you had a single store nearby that could provide you with everything you needed in one go, and reliable access to it. And of course a kitchen to do this work in, a way to store it during the week, a way to carry it and reheat it where you need to eat it.

You can see how not every part of this is guaranteed right? And how removing even one makes it significantly more of a burden, and it's easy to imagine missing several of these.

They could, but presumably further subsidizes would stop. This only works by continually and voluntarily applying flattening pressure to a power dynamic (which some might even call justice), and only to some extent. This is, however, a problem far easier to manage and deal with than the collectively suicidal tendencies we're stuck with now.

And of course the devil would be in the details, and it'd probably look messy and ugly. But I just cannot conceive of it being messier and uglier than the future we're staring down the barrel of.

I think the biggest barrier to this is not any rational problem that might be individually addressed but America's embarrassment at likely losing hegemony in the event we collectively manage to survive this catastrophe without mass death and the four horsemen. Really, refusing to stop global warming is a path towards retaining hegemony by taking advantage of future chaos as we have of past chaos. Everyone knows we have massive farmlands and water sources, enough to support our own people probably many many times over, and others do not have this luxury.
Why isn't your shell consuming stderr? Errors happen.
Exactly, even if it shows being turned off you can't be sure it really is. And yeah they have a tendency to secretly turn malicious features on with little updates. One would really be naive to believe them after their past bad behaviour. It is just another step in slowly boiling the frog to death. Maybe it will be off by default only for as long as people get used to it and normalise it and then, next step turn it on again, more quietly of course.
For tech savvy people, it's a bewildering feature. Why would I want some weird unpredictable AI thing when I've already got filesystem search, browser bookmarks, the neatly categorized PDF collection, and my Zettelkästen/2GB Org.mode doc/Joplin notes?

But for non-technical people, of course, computers are already unpredictable. They routinely (appear to) misplace files and overwrite them with previous versions, and if the URL falls out of autocomplete the site might as well not exist. For people who google to find the Facebook login page, this would simply be how computers should work. You tell it to give you the thing and it gives you the thing. How that happens is immaterial.
