>Being a neurodiverse, or more commonly known "on the spectrum", is a guaranteed way to get bullied (or worse) by your peers who are not. How is that supposed to help with survival?

Well, human life doesn't begin and end with school and bullying, nor was bullying like that necessarily as much of a thing in other eras (or other cultures), especially since we're talking prehistory.

It's easier for someone with ASD to have social relations and be accepted when everybody is part of small tribe or village and sees each other everyday for example - like for most of human history.

Also for the most part of history "being cool" wasn't really a preoccupation of people, even kids.

>Helping with survival to me means having features that help you get accepted by the heard and with finding a mate to reproduce, not features that get you shunned and outcasted till you end up wirtten off the gene pool.

It can also mean having traits that benefit the tribe, like problem solving and inventing things (or as researched regarding ADHD, "be better at hunting"), even if you're not very socially adept.

In many cultures even the "mad" were respected - considered touched by the spirits, samans, etc. Not just some ancient tribes either, all the way to modernity, including in aspects of Christianity ("holy fools").

It's actually not that hard to explain, yet without experiencing it firsthand, it is hard to see what this REPL fuzz is about.

So, let's take a minimal, simple example:

if True:
print("Hello, Python!")

and the equivalent code in Clojure:

(when true (println "Hello, Clojure!"))

In Clojure, you can send any expression fragment like a single symbol, list or even incomplete code and it will be evaluated according to its context. So, you can sent `true`, you can send `println` and you can even send `(when true println)` or `(when true (println))`, or even `(when true ,,,, (println))` (you can replace commas with line breaks if you want) and it will still be evaluated.

In Python, you can send `True`, and you can send `print`, but you can't send `if True: print` (even with corrected indentation), because Reader would have hard time making sense of that.

In Python, you need to adhere strictly to its syntax, and partial expressions that don't form a complete statement won't be evaluated meaningfully. In contrast, Clojure's REPL can work seamlessly with code fragments because the underlying representation of code is just data structures that are always valid within the REPL context.

What makes it mind-blowingly cool is that you can send these expressions to a remote REPL without any transformation, serialization, or encoding, because it's not just code — it is data. In fact, some teams do just that. They'll keep an open socket on a running app, possibly performing somewhere in the cloud, so they can interact with it in real time. Putting aside the notion that this might not be the greatest idea, let's agree that this is a cool feature. The famous example of that is when something broke on Deep Space 1 (DS1) spacecraft in 1998, the team was able to fix it via REPL, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gZK0tW8EhQ - "The Remote Agent Experiment: Debugging Code from 60 Million Miles Away"

Sure, yes, Python is great, but when it comes to REPL stuff, you simply need a Lisp. It really is an amazing feeling when you can, for example, poke into any HTML element on a page dynamically, directly from your editor. Sure, you can do that with devtools in the browser, but it's not the same. You still have to switch to the browser; you can't type statements that are too long; and it's just not very convenient.

Very nice (now years old) example is when Bruce Hauman showcased developing a "flappy-bird" clone - he would tweak the params, or straight change the code in his editor and the bird in the browser would fly differently, it's literally like writing code while playing a video game.
Or Sam Aaron, writing music with Overtone is another great example. Another, more practical example is when you're exploring API response results, if you have REPL - you can send a single request and then dig through the data - group it, slice it, dice it, sort it, etc., something seemingly simple like this would require a bit more effort with any other language. I have my editor connected to a Clojure REPL instance at all times; I never know when I might need it.
From the blog post:
> We observe that with AI-based suggestions, the code author increasingly becomes a reviewer, and it is important to find a balance between the cost of review and added value. We typically address the tradeoff with acceptance rate targets.

In the past year since GPT-4 came out, I've also found this to be the case. I'm an ML/backend engineer with little experience in frontend development. Yet, I've been able to generate React UIs and Python UIs with GPT-4 in a matter of minutes and simply review the code to understand how it works. I find this to be very useful!
> No it isn't, your straw-man is pathetic

I came into this argument sympathetic to your point of view, and I think I might have flipped my position.

OP's arguments are far from straw men.
All the different flavors of libc, apart from the outdated and cryptic naming style, have many hidden flaws like this one, heavy multithreading was not a central design feature when it was designed, and there are many instances of global state, with workarounds to avoid bugs, at the cost of potential serious performance issues.

My opinion is that the standard libc should be used much more as a fallback than a default.

And this is especially true about random number generation, there are much better generators out there, and some of them are only a few lines of code.

I agree. The point is more to reflect that reviewing CVs and the CV itself is something that is quite outdated - it's basically the representation of a paper sheet
It really depends on where you are in the world. Poorer countries often have older aircraft that are in worse states of repair. Most aren't exactly rust buckets, but they wouldn't be legally airworthy in places like the US or EU. This does result in worse safety records, but it's still safer than driving the same distance in most places.

If those things the Japanese did were "outrages", so were the things the US, Britain, and other European countries did to build their empires. The Japanese viewed their actions as simply taking their rightful place as an imperial power alongside those other countries. Yes, by today's standards, or at least today's Western standards, such things are Not Done, but if we are going to judge WW II Japan by those standards, we should judge the WW II Allies by those standards too.

I didn't ask to use these "amazing tools." I didn't ask to use zoom, google docs, google weather, or google drive or one drive I ask as many people as possible to not use these tools when interacting with me but many of them do. People need to stop pretending all of us opted in on any of this.

No one "opted in" the removal of 3.5mm plugs on phones. Companies unilaterally decided on that and there exist very few phones today that sell them. While consumers can share some of the blame put the blame squarely where it belongs on the big tech companies.
I think you're taking this the wrong way. I understand that it probably feels patronizing and you don't give a shit that a trait you have that makes your life personally hell might be good for the health of the species overall, but I still think it is. I get into this with my wife every now and again because she had ADHD and has often argued she shouldn't procreate because of it.

That kind of perspective is narrow to the current human environment, which is not permanent. We're living in a tiny infinitesimal speck of the spectrum of the whole biological timeline of earth, let alone entirely different planets we might someday inhabit. Her constant worry and distractedness might be disadvantageous in a world that requires you to concentrate on unstimulating tasks and in which the threats you see yourself surrounded by are largely imagined and extremely unlikely to be realized. But that is because we currently live in a society of laws and stability, presumably somewhere near the height of civilization. There is no guarantee it will always be this way. When shit hits the fan and the threats get real, my perfectly well adapted to the current world self who fixates for days at a time on narrow tasks, pays little attention to surroundings, and worries about almost nothing, will get killed off within days if not hours. It'll be up to people like her and you to give humanity a chance to make it into the far future.

This is why we need diversity. Because even if it sucks to be you who isn't well adapted to the current moment, the current moment is short. It doesn't mean you're a superhero. It just means we have no idea what sorts of traits and behaviors might keep us going under drastically different future pressures and we may as well keep as many different traits around as possible just in case.
Which, given the 20% larger battery on the "truck", is quite a difference.

I did not even know it was possible to drag windows. I do that by selecting the window I want to split, then setting a "vertical" split with "Command + v", then creating the new window (usually a terminal).

Or I move the window with "Command + Shift + [hjkl]".

It's weird. Personally I've yet to make the jump to IPv6 because it seems too complex, doesn't make sense, so I don't want to spend the mental effort learning it when I have no need to switch.

However, looking decades back I realise I felt the same way when first learning about and working with networks. Nothing about it is intuitive. It's all complex, until it isn't through repetition and familiarity.

That said, I still don't want to spend the mental effort on IPv6 yet. I'll deal with it when I have a need for it.

> (Also, again, that 35% already includes interest payments already.)

Again, no, because if the 35% included interest payments, then if hypothetically there were no interest payments, my tax burden would be 30% now (no 5% taxes to interest).

I understand that if nominal debt remained the same, then 2% inflation would eventually whittle it away (or whichever inflation/monetizing rate), but effectively whether by monetary inflation or taxes, taxpayers still pays the same amount, just a matter of when and in what way.

Some providers (eg: Starlink, when I last checked and a Calyx WiFi hotspot) will only advertise a prefix. I was forced to figure out a way to bring the /64 that is in front of my router (Linux iptables) and expose it to a LAN behind my router. It looks something like [1]

Probably yes if Nvidia has a monopoly. Because competitors of open ai have no alternatives they’ve killed competition. If doing so is to their advantage that doesn’t make it better, that just makes it rational from their perspective. But regulation against anticompetitive behavior targets behavior that structurally kills competition. Most collusion isn’t direct financial transfers but cooperative agreements to dominate adjacent markets for mutual benefit.
Scramjets require the engine to already be going pretty fast, so they can't be a first stage engine. Then, with a rocket, most of the speed to get into orbit is built up after getting out to essentially vacuum, so, again, a scramjet is not that useful.

At an abstract level, it's the same issue as with aerospikes, the idea has too many caveats, too much expense and not enough benefit to justify the relatively small improvements in efficiency.

That's fun and a good outcome. I had registered mine in the local system, run by the police department. The first time I saw it after it was stolen it was just locked on the street so I could check the frame number. I called the police and they said there was no evidence, they weren't going to come check it, and that if I cut it loose and took it that would be a felony. I saw it a couple years being ridden in traffic but didn't bother to do anything.
> I'm merely pointing out that you're assuming ignorance simply because I have a different opinion to you

Yes. You have a different opinion than me and the majority of Spaniards. Despite that you think that you can make statements on behalf of us. There comes the ignorance.

> Freeloaders, admittedly a charged word, is how I'd view someone

Spaniards don't.

> How is that any different to a mugger stealing your phone or your wallet?

Not different, and per Spanish law, theft up to a few hundred euros is not a crime either.

Its not 'convenient'. Its how this works. Okupa movement stakes out houses, its owners and goes after the well-off. In a lot of cases they get help from within the community, or the occupier is someone from the neighborhood already. That's what 'professional' okupas help with - by helping poor locals occupy empty houses.

Surely occasionally an unhinged persona occupies someone's only house. But that's rare. The majority of occupation happens locally through the help of activist okupas.

...

Long story short, you have no idea about the culture and society you speak of, despite having lived here for 2 years, and you are still handing out statements and interpretations based on, well, American cultural mentality actually. Spanish culture is different. Its as simple as that. The difference between these two cultures can be seen in how things are in the specific countries.

Not that the other countries that imitate the US and the capitalist mentality are any different - even Scandinavian countries started to experience major inequality after adopting 'investment friendly' practices in the last few years. Americans themselves are escaping to other countries, including Spain, to escape the hellhole that it has become and gentrifying the people there in the process. North Europeans are doing it too - which is actually becoming a problem.

So that mentality doesn't work. It f*cks up societies. Stop preaching it.
> I like to be productive and crate value.

You can create value in the 99% of the world that isn't attached to your house.

Also a more conservative set of rules, like the limits I was talking about, would still let you own a house and upgrade it a lot in a way that you fully own.

> There are so many better ways to solve this problem than putting a cap on value creation.

Does "value creation" here specifically mean adding more living space?

Only a very tiny fraction of homeowner construction projects would be an issue. And if you want to do something like build a third house on your property, a rule like that would say "go ahead, but then you have to sell it when you're done". You can create tons of value and profit from it, you just can't own three houses.

Except as there’s a backlog if the enter into collusive agreements as a monopoly they are impacting adjacent markets (AI and adjacent companies competing with open ai and Microsoft). Also bulk pricing agreements can be seen as collusive even without inventory scarcity because it structurally advantages a picked winner.

When you hold a monopoly the same rules don’t apply. That’s why it’s often advantageous to allow material competition in your own market because your adjacency influence can be outsized and cause unintended consequences -even if you normally would have been allowed to do such things-. Those unintended consequences don’t require malicious intent they just have to exist and be materially a result of your monopoly. The more your maliciously collude though the worse the remedy will be for you.
Well, that explains my programming abilities then!
The direct purpose of any ID system is for the state to assert more control over the population, by making it harder to plausibly deny one's identity, and therefore easier to punish for disobedience. It's historical good luck that many of us live in countries and at times where this is actually a good deal, and I think it's a mistake to dismiss the opposite end of the argument as "absurd".
Your survey of the options is basically the one that the US government put out after the war to push back against criticism. However, historical scholarship since then has shown that it wasn't that simple.

First, there is no evidence of any actual casualty estimates made during the war that were anywhere near as high as the ones you give in option 1. Those numbers were made up after the war. The wartime estimates were about an order of magnitude lower.

Second, you left out an option: clarify the status of the Emperor if the Japanese surrendered, which the US government well knew, since they were reading Japanese diplomatic traffic and also had plenty of intelligence from spies, was the only real obstacle in the way of the Japanese surrendering. The final surrender agreement left the Emperor in place as the head of the Japanese state. If the Japanese had known that was going to be the final outcome of surrender earlier, it is highly probable that they would have surrendered earlier. The status of the Emperor was the primary weapon the military war faction in the Japanese cabinet used to quash surrender proposals.

Third, to call the time since WW II "an unprecedented era of global peace" is a bit much. What the bombs ushered in was an era of nuclear stalemate. The US does deserve credit for not using the bombs again, even though the US was the only nuclear power for at least four years after WW II. It is also true that many people after WW II expected a nuclear conflict to happen as soon as the USSR got nuclear weapons, and none did. But that didn't stop plenty of conventional conflicts from continuing to break out all over the world, nor has the US kept out of such conflicts.

"Programmers waste enormous amounts of time thinking about, or worrying about, the speed of noncritical parts of their programs, and these attempts at efficiency actually have a strong negative impact when debugging and maintenance are considered.
