I dread to think how much bad information it gives you whilst both you and it are incapable of realising it.

Ask it about niche topics, hell, ask it about NixOS configs. Hallucinating all kinds of functions that don't exist with absolute confidence, generating configs that mix programming languages.

It can't even get the basics right in most programming languages of whether to use hashes or slashes for comments in its output. It's complete shite.
This is an effective, simple solution if the application doesn't have transactional constraints and authorization. The user is in full control of the data - and that's a good thing.

It becomes a bit more complicated if the data has to be in a specified shape and can only partially be authored by any individual due to authorization requirements. Having a single source of truth on a server is quite a bit easier to reason about and design in this case.

I don't know where Obsidian stands on this, but I assume that if it has collaborative features or complex data constraints it has to do some quite sophisticated stuff to make it work reliably.
So you think senior engineers appear out of thin air and that some people just know how to do it all without any actual experience? Because… those people are horrible to work with and make terrible products, no matter how cool their code is.
This is a very low-quality comment. Amnesty International published a substantial, well-researched, well-sourced study. Your comment is low-effort Internet skepticism based on ignorance and a straw-man argument.

Read the report, gather data, then criticize it.
In olden days when chopping of heads was more acceptable, smart people understood that "debt relief" was a way to somehow decrease a chance of loosing they'r heads :)

Now, when technology (military) enables to control the masses more strictly this approach has fallen in popularity.

Depends on the context but in general Zig wants you to be explicit. Writing 0.0 is fine at comptime or if you're e.g. adding it to an already known float type, but defining a runtime variable (var x = 0.0; ...) will not work because x doesn't have an explicit type (f16, f32, f64, f80, or f128?). In this case, you would need to write "var x: f32 = 0". You could write "var foo = @as(f32, 0)" but that's just a weird way of doing things and probably not what OP meant.
Interesting, that's actually one of the best possible use cases, I missed it somehow. Is it stable/how does it interact with VS Code features?
> That's how you get money to "trickle down". That is, of course, if the state isn't to o busy making arms manufacturers rich.

If you won't trust in the state parentally taking from some and giving to others, nor trust in people making transactions between each other on what they find valuable, what do you want? Is there a third option?
.Vi. are the Unix CLI companion, when a CLI UI it's not enough Unix have offered a 2D UI to do more, a bit violating Unix principles but still relatively integrated in Unix ecosystem/IPCs/model.

Embedding, meaning copying the UI, something like evil in Emacs, it's a bit a nonsense because the strongest point of .Vi. is the Unix model witch is not a 2D DocUI model. Yes modal editing is powerful and yes in both ".Vi. alike editing vs Emacs editing" you can get powerful performances superior to any other "text editor" we have ever seen so far BUT that's not the point, the point is the role of the editor inside a broad system.

Emacs is an ecosystem, incomplete since it lacks a proper LispM underneath, but closely similar to classic Smalltalk workstations, a single tool that do anything inside the tool itself, user programmable and fully exposed to the human user. .Vi. on contrary shine in a CLI unix environment. Both fall short outside their own ecosystem: Emacs fall short when you have to be outside Emacs, .Vi. when you are outside of Unix model.

The point is that a powerful desktop is a single-application, user-programmable live framework like original desktops, modern systems are designed for commercial purposes as a kind of Babel's tower of insulated stuff anyone self-contained and badly fit together in an "OS+.*". You can't escape this trap. Or the entire system works integrated or you just add a bit of sugar witch might or might be not helpful but it will fall short anyway.
And atlassian ones.

I mean, we have a guy who is really into scrum in our team, and is always chasing us to update, create or move our tickets to the correct queue/status/whatever. As engineers we are so tired of waiting for Jira to respond that we usually just give up midway after clicking somewhere and work on our tasks then forget about that tab and never complete what we meant to update on Jira.
> Sadly, most people would not fund the electric company to keep their lights on as they throw thousands at sport merchandise, including a new TV that they cannot power on.

But people are funding it. They're not the ones borrowing from Macquarie, but they are the ones paying them back. Is there a more direct way to do this, is the question.
When you have nothing to eat, and the rules that are in play are so complicated that you need team of layers to understand them, "playing by the rules" does not sound really valid argument.

I still have my 1979 World Book set (plus the 1980 Year Book!). I part-exchanged a 1952 set I'd inherited from an older cousin - many of the articles hadn't changed in the interim.

It still serves as an excellent stabilizer for a set of freestanding bookselves.

Meditations that fit your mood
Your anecdote actually makes the AI future look worse and your experience much better.

Setting aside the absolute quality of work and learning, in your situation, the people who tried did a lot better. There were actual incentives to trying and learning because you were rewarded with better grades and then going forward likely a better job and better career and life.

OTOH, the commenter you’re replying to, is suggesting the opposite. As someone who’s not using AI and are actually putting in the effort, they’re not being rewarded for it to the point they’re considering whether they’re the stupid ones for trying to learn in a learning institution.

The incentives are completely backwards.
SimonW is the king of hacker news clickbait these days.

He basically chooses the most clickbaity headline possible and then posts it up to hacker news. The actual content itself is almost always totally banal and adds nothing new or insightful to the world.

No one was arguing that AI was going to build an engineering team, I haven’t read or heard or seen this take from anyone.

Taking up this controversial notion as the premise of an article (as though it’s actually a thing), when no one was positing it in the first place, is a classic way of driving traffic to your blog.
The abstract is on the third page:

"In the event of an accident, one action that an occupant can take to contribute to their survival is to
assume an appropriate “brace-for-impact” position. This is an action in which a person pre-positions their
body against whatever they are most likely to be thrown against, significantly reducing injuries sustained.
Occupants in the US Airways flight 1549 sustained shoulder injuries that they attributed to the brace
position; therefore, the NTSB recommended that the position be re-evaluated.
The Federal Aviation Administration investigated this by conducting a series of 17 sled impact tests, 15
with two rows of transport category forward facing passenger seats and two with a bulkhead configured to
represent the types of seats currently in use. Head, neck, upper and lower leg injury risks were evaluated
using an advanced test dummy and injury criteria from current FAA regulations, Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards, European auto safety regulations, and applicable research findings.
The current brace position, head against the seat back with hands on top of the seat back, was only
successful in reducing head injury risk for locked-out seat backs. However, for full break-over and energy
absorbing seat backs, this position increased the severity of the head impact. There was, however, no
evidence that the anthropomorphic test device interaction with any of the seatback types resulted in hyper-
extension of the shoulder joint. Significant lower leg injury potential was not observed in this study, and
therefore adopting lower leg injury criteria at this time does not appear to be a benefit. Even in the worst
case test condition, the femur axial compressive force was below the regulatory limit, indicating that the
femur compression criteria currently cited in FAA regulations is not likely to be exceeded in passenger seat
dynamic qualification tests. To reduce detrimental interaction between the occupant’s arms and the
seatback, the current position was modified by placing the hands down by the lower legs instead of on the
seat back. This alternate position was successful in significantly reducing head and neck injury risk for all
of the seat back types evaluated. This research has led to the determination that as seat technology has
evolved, the most effective brace position has as well, and the current positions recommended in AC 121-
24B may need some adjustment to provide an equivalent level of safety for all passenger seat back types"
I don't see any other option. We should remember that we are the state, in theory. It's the whole point of a state. If that isn't the case anymore, we should fix it.

The main problem is that nowadays states operate on the basis of the same false trickle-down fable.

They don't build stuff, they pay corporations to do it for them and expect that money to somehow flow down to the people. We can clearly see that doesn't happen as inequality keeps growing.
It is always the villainous who see villains everywhere.

I honestly write about nuclear power because I find the discussions around the topic interesting. It is by no means a primary topic in my everyday life, though, quite the contrary. Having said that, I don't understand what you can be interested in and what it adds to the discussion how I spend my free time, you are invited to argue in context if you want to argue on the merits. Also because I don't think that wasting time looking at my profile is much better.

First of all I would like to see some data, I know as far as nuclear is concerned, operating and maintenance costs are only a fraction of the costs in the bill, which in some charts is 10 to 25 percent usually. So even if labor costs were double, there would not be a doubling of prices. Just as if the price of uranium triples, the impact is very small.

The staff needed according to this report is 1.5 people/Mw on small plants (the older ones), 1 for large plants, up to 0.7 people for large plants with multiple reactors.

And SMRs will serve to lower this number even further. Although the number is highly variable since we are talking about so many different design types, and that especially as more reactors are installed fewer people per Mw are needed.

But as you can see the trend is quite negative, both in terms of normal reactors already in operation and future prospects.

https://www-pub.iaea.org/mtcd/publications/pdf/te_1193_prn.p...

Do you have any data about solar? And I would like to emphasize that solar alone is not enough, so the staff needed to store some of the energy would also need to be considered (battery?).

Otherwise we have to considers nuclear + renewable (my ideal mix), but at that point there would be nothing to argue about probably, since for me it's not a renewable vs. nuclear war, but I consider them both necessary.

Finally, just for intellectual honesty, it is worth underlining that one MW of nuclear power cannot in any way be considered on par with one MW of solar power, due to intermittency. I think it is a necessary premise to be able to make any type of comparison between the two.

I am not here to consider nuclear energy the best or flawless source of energy, on the contrary I recognize its limits and problems. I am simply here to defend it against those who want to exclude it to decarbonize. Because I am convinced that there is a lot, too much, wishful thinking around renewables. And that this is the first obstacle to being able to decarbonize.
IMO petroleum scattering around earth as CO2 damages earth less than petroleum scattering around earth as a petroleum-based solid. Both is bad tho - can't mix layers that are not meant to meet.
I've tried this before out of curiosity, it's usually because I CBA to deal with a vim config or managing & maintaining the integration.

The mistake is "the grid". The spreadsheet as a way to allow IT-illiterate to do stuff on a desktop is a mistake.

Yes, we do need some kind of tabular data UIs but SMALL UIs elements, not the base of the UI. Beside that the obscene "wrapping" of Python to make it "user-safe" makes also it next to useless.

A less ugly approach to tabular UIs is the one from R-Studio, while it's limited, another is org-mode tables while again they are limited in UI terms. Both are a bit better than Jupyter REPL model witch is itself far better than a spreadsheet.
Deleting the services where my friends and communities are these days isn't going to bring RSS back to glory days.

A lot of the costs for the state, city etc. are billed separately in a lot of places.

Also, given the demographic projections, land will not be a limiting factor in the long-term anyway.

> (who is a/the creator of Obsidian)

No. He is the current CEO, an excellent communicator and definitely the right person for the job, but he wasn't there in the beginning and nothing meaningfully changed about Obsidian's philosophy since for it to be attributed solely to him.

I don't disagree with him on anything in particular, it just feels bad to see the two equated. Original devs wanted to spend their time on actually making the thing, so they hired a CEO. They even picked from the community, kepano was the developer of the most popular Obsidian theme well before he got hired, but he is absolutely not the creator of Obsidian. When he joined, Obsidian already existed.

He's also not the only community hire either, there's at least one or two more people that started as plugin developers before they got hired.

"For years, his business-friendly antitrust view carried weight among Washington officials. Yet he often didn't reveal funding from Google, Amazon, Qualcomm and other clients in academic papers, blogs, open letters or congressional testimony favorable to the companies, the Journal found, disclosures that might have raised doubts about the objectivity of his research and opinions."

"For roughly two years, as the FTC pursued its investigation of Google, Wright published four research papers and a stream of blogs and tweets. They had a common theme: The FTC's argument was wrongheaded and stood no chance of prevailing in court. In some instances, Wright disclosed Google funding, in others, he didn't."

"As the FTC investigation gathered steam, Google recruited Wright to help lead a team of former FTC officials, antitrust experts and legal scholars. They published academic papers and opinion articles and spoke with reporters. Their goal was to persuade officials that the government didn't have a case. The team was paid directly by the company or in contributions to their employers. Yet Wright and others didn't disclose they were working on behalf of Google."

"When the inspector general contacted Wright, he "initially denied participating" in discussions about a possible settlement, according to an agency report. "Maybe they are confused on that?" Wright told the FTC investigator. Wright later acknowledged his involvement."

Casual readers will want page 3 for a description of the different positions and page 17 for a discussion of the results. The tldr is that the best seems to be: head against the seat in front of you, arms down by the lower legs.

The fact that any brace position won't help in a head on collision and the foolish inference that it is therefore at best pointless and at worst some kind of ghoulish conspiracy (to maintain dental records, to ensure quick deaths yada yada) is a real bugbear of mine. Same goes for the criticism of "hide under a table during a nuclear attack". With any catastrophe, there are unavoidable deaths from the initial impact and loads of avoidable deaths and injuries from falling debris, glass shards, smoke inhalation etc. These measures are about the latter.

Cannot compilers auto-vectorize such loops? I think it would be more valuable to teach compilers to recognize such loops rather than simply write the code.
Why should “niche topics” even exist anymore?

I mean, seriously. The entire internet economy right now is all about companies trying their hardest to make sure you spend all your time on their platforms.

It’s evident at this point that all of them believe AI is the future. So if niche topics exist where the immediate gratification of AI is not suitable, companies are not gonna sit around doing nothing. Either they will try and expand their offerings to cover those niche topics, or they will try and eliminate interest in those niche topics because they represent competition and therefore a threat to their businesses.

As a teacher with no programming and compsci background I've developed an entire interactive site which currently uses 50k database records; mapping grammar structures to questions to classical art to interactive quizzes to videos to collocations, etc, etc. It's effectively a Wikipedia of the English language with everything arranged into interactive lessons. 449 Svelte/js files in so far.

ChatGPT helped me achieve this from scratch. The code is probably shite, as I'm chasing my own tail understanding what's happening, but I can only imagine that there's others out there using '''the entirety of human knowledge''' to fast-forward their development and realise their dreams.

Of course, at the very top and bleeding edge, current systems aren't very helpful. And this is where we should be placing our curricula; treating school like a microcosm of elite society.

You don't need shares for this - you can be mortgaged up to the hilt and pass on the house to your heirs when you die, and they sell the house to pay off the mortgage.

But all the money you borrowed needs to have been spent, or it's subject to inheritance tax (or paying back the debt it came from), and all that spending needs to be on things that are taxed with VAT, with employees providing services you buy who are paying income tax, and the businesses you're buying from paying corporation tax, etc etc. Tax is never avoided; it's just paid through other means.
