Fair enough, but in my experience when you run into anything outside the happy path it will become an exercise in extreme torment.

Maybe it’s the language I was using to debug an issue (typescript and having click/drag events override each other), but chatgpt 4o (along with the previous versions) would get into this circular path of offering suggestions (would cycle the same three solutions).

It was also interesting to note that when this circular debug path started it would start to remove random properties or objects or types from the code. It wouldn’t be noticeable reading it but if you have any modern editor you’ll see the issues with your lsp/linter. The removals had nothing to do with solutions proposed.

This issue seemed to always happen to me, I think I have to relegate these LLMs to act like advanced scaffolding tools where I can include detailed instructions for basic capabilities as well (rather than writing them saving a decent amount of hours all things considered).

I don’t know if other models are actually good at debugging (going to guess no because they don’t seem to actually understand context of the problem, just the relations of keywords when suggesting solutions).

I agree with the other poster, maybe trash is a harsh word but it is extremely bad for debugging anything advanced it seems.
I know several people who decided to get smaller yards or were happy to move into apartment complexes without them.

We both are dealing with biased samples. A childhood friend who is very into the outdoors moved to a rural area and got 14 acres, everyone else moved to an apartment or a house with under an acre. This stuff shows up on migration patterns, and well there’s a reason the Rural Midwest USA is a small percentage of the US population.

So, I agree many people do want a large yard, but revealed preferences suggest it’s a minority opinion.

Once you truly appreciate the impending death of yourself and everyone you love, and ultimately the heat death of the universe, how do you find meaning and purpose? How meaningful can it be if it's all going away regardless? Being quite morose and consumed by a debilitating sense of pointlessness, it would be really nice to find some hopeful inspiration.

It's fair to say you're sick of it. I never even used the feature myself, but here's the thing: I never even saw it and wouldn't have known it existed if not for the backlash. I had to search through settings to find any evidence of it.

You say it's "shoehorning" on one hand, then "I can understand how a terminal might be able to benefit from AI" on another.

It didn't send anything off in the background (you don't need an AI feature to do that, BTW).

The backlash was completely unwarranted here, and I say that as someone who wouldn't bother using that feature at all.
EDIT: I didn't read carefully. Ignore the first sentence.

I believe it is illegal in the US to ask someone's age during interview. Only after you are hired and filling out paperwork is when they ask for your birthday.

Yeah, iTerm is a labour of love for the author, George Nachman, and people were acting like the ragebait-hateporn-parasocial crowd, swarming onto anything that promises a hearty 2-minute hate.

I have no idea how to solve that problem though, it's just part of our zeitgeist and I hope people get bored with it sooner rather than later.
I too would prefer an actual solution instead of a veneer.

It’s worth remembering that this won’t impact loaners, though; they don’t care as long as everyone has to do it so they aren’t getting undercut on rates.

They’ll just raise interest rates to cover the extra delinquencies, making cars/houses/etc less affordable to the poor. Hopefully by a small amount if the CFPB is right.
I'm not a researcher and this is not meant for researchers. I have a tech background and I like to keep up with the latest research. But there's A LOT of papers coming out daily. To choose which papers to dive into, I want a tool to give me a glimpse of what DL/math methods each paper uses and see if there's any interesting combinations that would make me want to read further. To your point, my next step is to hook it up daily feed of X papers and analyze them all. This is just hacky v1. I don't love that it's DAG, but I'm experimenting with low code agent platforms and haven't found one that supports cycles.
I have to wonder if they never have due to fear that people will stop using the platform. I honestly will stop using it. I don't mind ads, but they always come on YouTube at the worst time, if you're watching something informative, they cut your brain off from that into some obscure that has no relevancy to your life.
I think that is putting it rather strongly. I use UUID7 (for its better clustering) for anything that both, 1) may end up having a lot of rows (1M+), and 2) where leaking the creation time in the UUID is acceptable.

Otherwise I use UUID4.

Not that people with VC need defending, but:

Sure, if you magic up a startup with VC funds you suddenly have it easier than a small, bootstrapped business.

Startups almost never start with a round of VC though. There are almost always months or years of the same experience as a bootstrapped business (ie: extreme uncertainty, no money to pay yourself, etc).

Most startups don't manage to raise VC, and most startups that raise VC fail with no acquihire.
Sorry, what was this goal that was supposed to be getting "accomplished"?
None of those reasons make any sense to me. The US health care system is truly fucked, but nearly all the companies paying well for SWEs also provide good health care plans. It sucks that things are so complicated (deductibles, copays, coinsurance, in-network, out-of-network, etc.), but people with good health insurance aren't getting bankrupted by health care costs. And I've seen plenty of colleagues with super-expensive conditions in my lifetime ("million-dollar babies", cancer, losing limbs in car accidents, etc.)

And bitching about bureaucratic terms like non-resident alien? All countries have silly bureaucratic language and words can have multiple meanings. Nobody thinks "alien" in this context means you're a little green man from Mars.

Or, based on examples I've witnessed, 5 years down the road you own 20% of a $1M company because your forecasts were off by an order of magnitude. You've gone through a couple down rounds, where investors took at least 20% each time. You feel obligated to your investors and employees, while there is almost zero chance of walking away with anything.
As far as internet access and devices and things like this go, all western governments are going to become authoritarian in this regard. Only thing we can do is try to change the government, and otherwise fight back with plausibility deniability and using tools like encryption and steganography.
I've read that Sam Altman's net worth has ballooned from hundreds of millions (mostly tied up in Helion) while at OpenAI to billions, and that despite all his protestations of not making a penny from OpenAI, he also has/had a $10M investment in the (~100x profit capped) for-profit part of OpenAI...

Given Altman's slippery relationship with the truth, I have to wonder if his sudden significant increase in wealth, if true, is due to having participated in an early "liquidity event" as the article describes. Did he sell part of his shares to Microsoft, perhaps ?
Terminal.app is a solid piece of software, but it hasn't been updated in an age. It only supports 256 colors, where most terminals support truecolor. It's also a lot slower than other terminal software, as it doesn't do gpu rendering. And there are a number of extensions which are common in modern terminals, but are not supported in Terminal.app.

Granted, not everyone will notice or miss such features in their terminal.

> The regular approval process takes years. We'd still be waiting for it. Yet everyone is in here splitting hairs over what amounted to a few weeks.

This isn't remotely true - it was on the expedited path and was always forecast to be ready in Q4 2020 or Q1 2021. The "few weeks" was whether they would be approved before the election or after it - which had clear and obvious political implications. Rather than resting on the laurels of having created Warp Speed and helped usher the the vaccine through development and approvals in under a year, they were leaning on the science teams to approve it to improve his election prospects. There were tons of articles in real time about the entire debacle;

Sounds like a great way to get even more vitriol, and continue to get it for years afterward. Every time you released a new version, there it’d resurface again. Sure, you could block some people on GitLab, but then you’d see it on social media or what have you.

Or you could just move it out to a plugin quickly (which is what happened, the beta for this version was out in a couple of days) and curtail the backlash.

Being angry at the people angry about you is not a practical solution if your goal is piece of mind.

> Yes it was an example of one of Chomsky's half-truths.

Except he himself explicitly says that there were killings multiple times.

> Neither Cazaux nor Shanberg were cited as evidence for the passage quoted.

I don't understand what you are trying to say. Chomsky claims Cazaux wrote that '“not a single corpse was seen along our evacuation route,” and that early reports of massacres proved fallacious', that seems to provide a conflicting account of the "passage quoted" (i.e. "virtually everybody saw...").

> This was an example of Chomsky dishonest borrowing of authority

As I said maybe you could argue that if he didn't explicitly describe the evidence and the source at length in the very next paragraph.

> an article that stated (correctly) that there were a million civilian deaths.

What we are arguing about is whether there was a basis for those figures. I can't find the Economist article online at the moment but as far as I know the only source of those high figures at the time was Lacouture which Chomsky showed to be fabricated. I assume if you knew of another source you would have cited it already.

----

I will re-iterate that the key issue is not any of the above but that the most important piece of evidence, the Lacouture number, was fabricated and would have failed the most basic fact-checking, yet was loudly promoted. In contrast the US government's own numbers, which conflicted with La Couture, were ignored. These hard figures were the most important pieces of evidence and the fact they were treated as they were is what proves Chomsky's point about distortion of information, the Cambodia case being only one example.

How many times can I clarify that? That’s the mentality I’m talking about.

Snap out of it.

Apple's secure enclave docs also mention memory encryption. The PCC blogpost mentions that the server hardware is built on secure enclaves. And since they are claiming that even Apple can't access it, I am currently assuming that there will be memory encryption happening on the servers. At which point you have have the main ingredients of CC: memory encryption & remote attestation.

EDIT: and they mention SGX and Nitro. Other CC technologies :)

https://www.cms.gov/files/document/hospital-price-transparen...

Hospitals responded by giving quotes with stupidly wide ranges like this -- "your medical procedure will cost.. let me check here, an amount of money." The reason for this does actually make sense but is still impossible to plan around. Hospitals bill for the work they actually do, not "here's the all-inclusive price for an appendectomy" and so they won't/can't say in advance how much it will cost until they do it. They can guess with things like "the average price" but it's still a guess.

Once you leave the world of "necessary" medical care you start to see all-inclusive pricing again because folks are paying for it themselves. You will get an actual price for a nose-job. However this is a bit of a lie because they also require you to have insurance for complications which goes back to a la carte billing so it's better but still not ideal. It's a big ole game of "nobody wants the risk."

Lua is nice, but it’s a bit of a weird comparison for Swift. Swift is compiled and lua is interpreted. Swift is statically typed. Swift uses ref counting to Lua’s runtime GC. And Swift has non nullable types by default, classes, enums, ADTs, match expressions and so on.

Lua is nice. But it’s chalk and cheese comparing the languages. I can’t think of many cases where you’re trying to decide between lua and Swift.
I would disagree with that take, actually. Perhaps I haven't yet figured out how to leverage LLMs for that (and don't get me wrong, I have certainly experimented as has most of my team), but I'm not discouraged from it.

I'm just trying to be clear-eyed about the risks. As an example, code completion tools in IDEs will cause me to get rusty in important baseline skills. LLMs present a similar sort of risk.
