Two things can be true at once. We live in a big world and in that world, there are many things that warrant our anger, some of which are more important or urgent than others. Yes, it's probably more important that there are two wars going on or that the rich country that I live in has become a police state that jails millions of people on dubious and often bigoted pretenses or that the capital that owns the industrial capacity that won the last major era of technological progress is hell-bent on continuing business as usual in a way that we're now pretty sure will drastically harm the ecological infrastructure we depend on to survive, and has been engaged in decades of attacking the scientific and political capacity to dismantle them. Also, many of these problems are directly aided and abetted by the owners of the current wave of technological advances, who have also created and continue to iteratively worsen a pervasive network of surveillance and control, as well as an experiential environment that reliably produces apathy and learned helplessness, while destroying significant hard-won freedoms and infrastructure in the process (including uber rolling back labor rights gains, amazon crippling public delivery infrastructure it views as competition, etc)

Epictetus wrote of concerning oneself more with that which one may be able to control than that which one can't, and people who aren't familiar with the Enchiridion have nonetheless internalized this wisdom. It pops up in lots of places, like in various schools of therapy, or in the serenity prayer. My career is in computers, and this website is a nexus wherein people who do computers for a living gather to discuss articles. Therefore, the shared context we have is disproportionately about issues surrounding computers. We are all of us likely better positioned to enact or at least advocate for change in how computer things are done in the world, and in each of the last 7 decades this has become a larger share of the problems affecting the world, and anger is difficult to mask when talking about problems precisely because one of the major ways we detect anger in these text conversations devoid of body language or vocal tone is expressing a belief that something is unacceptable and needs to be changed
> Speaking as a windows-familiar but nerdy/techy guy, command lines are nowhere as good.

I mean, speaking as someone working on windows nearly every day, I hate GUI/its GUI. Every single "gui" app is some trash that I wish there were just some cmd line for (and I've been doing this sort of thing for over 10 years, its not lack of familiarity).

There are things I want/find lacking in cmd line, to be sure, but they're generally nothing that a better cli interface/script/wiki can't solve better.

OpenAI must be cooking something huge for them to not be releasing products far ahead of competitors
People adopted the Internet organically during the dotcom era for a simple reason: on-demand news and email. On a $10/mo dialup plan, that was a pretty affordable deal; you didn't have to write letters to people anymore.

I think genAI is different as most of the use cases aren't really all that valid for individuals, and it's yet to be seen if companies actually derive benefits from it beyond just growing their ability to spam you with on-demand video, podcast and image generation. I'm not saying Copilot and the like aren't helpful, just that there probably isn't room for more than one Copilot scale product.

Mostly however, I feel that the AI hype is being driven by VCs and companies themselves, and there isn't a network effect to catalyze its growth among consumers, like there was with email.
I fell in love with the original Macintosh display. It was so crisp, the black and white pixels so beautiful (especially if you had come off the typical computer hooked up to a TV). Combine that with the beautiful dithering and I almost shunned color when it came along.

(I believe I've read that Atkinson's dithering didn't come about until scanner software was needed for the Macintosh and so he wrote his own dithering code.)
Normally yes, but I think an exception is allowed in this case due to the irony of the person being oblivious to an article talking about people being oblivious.

Ask yourself how it will affect you:

Do you personally have a job because employers and investors threw money at AI?

When no-one uses or pays for your AI features, will your employer lay you off?

I'm sure the hype bubble will pop, and investments will cool off, but I don't think that will translate to the average CRUD developer being laid off.
You can have both large scale production and small scale production at the same time. It is actually required for survival on a large scale long term. Technologies enabling small scale farms to be more efficient are as great an enabler as the advent of industrial farming.

As someone who lived through it, I am always surprised at how dismissive people are of the dotcom bubble and the changes that were underway.

It’s been applied to crypto as an analogy and now here to “AI” though I think you actually mean LLMs.

The thing about the initial web bubble was that the potential using already proven tech was just absolutely gigantic.

Like I used to have to go to an office in a building to buy a plane ticket. Then I didn’t. People used to have to mail me a 500 page catalog for me to order via mail, and there was no way to change price or availability.

To interact with most businesses it had to be synchronous, via phone call. Or very very slow or resource intensive via mail or in person and that was that.

Even immediately it was clear these things would change a lot. You’d be able to browse an online catalog of flights or books, you’d be able to email a business and ask a detailed question and copy and paste the request to whoever.

It was right there. It worked. It was clunky and adoption took a minute but nobody honestly was all that confused about what was happening.

The bubble was almost exclusively about how fast people thought change would happen, and which people would benefit.

The LLM thing feels different. It has clear use cases that work, no doubt. I use it to help draft business docs all the time. That could even be a huge market.

But there’s also an assumption that the cognitive ability of these tactics will grow without bound. We don’t actually know that.

Maybe maybe not. But that’s a difference that makes the dotcom bubble a partial analogy at best.

If that doesn’t happen then it’s not going to be an internet-sized change. Maybe something more on the scale of GPS or something.

Writing text and writing code are two distinct abilities. It is very rare the professional that possesses both.
The "asynchronous state machine" name here is a bit strange, when searching for this term used elsewhere I couldn't find any formal definition what it is. Reading further in the README it looks like the author implies that it really just means a DFA? Not entirely sure.

I'd also like to add the Plan 9 implementation[0], which also uses the properties of utf8 as part of its state machine and anecdotally has been quite performant when I've used it.

> Get ready to pick up a ton of cheap hardware in a year or two…

That's not a bold statement since that's the natural life cycle of hardware anyways. I think the "year or two" is a bit soon, but also tracks with the price of hardware holding value for that term too.
I agree. I've been really impressed with Anthropic. The issue for me comes when I want to take arbitrary user input and ask Claude questions about the user provided input. Claude is very, very, very ethical. Which is great, but it won't provide a response if the user tends to use a lot of curse words.
>>even when it’s clear that large parts of the public will not be best served by Washington’s “China bad!!!” policies.

The majority of the public do not own or fly drones. The government has bigger concerns than a few people getting burnt on their DJI purchase.

Disposable drones are the future of warfare. Would you really want to subsidize China's ability to develop and manufacture them? While also letting China collect data from drones flying over your country? Better to rip that bandaid off sooner rather than later imo.
It's probably going to be a bandaid for a while longer, but the problem is "mixed module loading" and we should fix that problem rather than rely on bandaids long term. The last .cjs file I've needed for a while now in type="module" libraries has been for eslint config files and eslint finally supports ESM configs. Everything is just .js, as it should be.

I agree with the article that type="module" should be the default and once it is the well established default the bandaid of .mjs, .cjs, et al extensions should probably provoke a deprecation warning rather than being another long-term tech debt part of Node.
The point that you have to ask that question, in the context of state surveillance, is quite telling.
I agree there's usually no reason not to download a 3rd party OpenJDK distribution, as it's often easier.

Thank you for this! I was confused what they meant by Rotation curve.
It's not about the formula. The formula comes from the geometry.

1/r^2 falls out as the formula, starting from the geometry of "flux" and "field lines", along with "conservation of flux", in 3d space.

That's the idea that the force acts like something that's radiated in all directions, that doesn't fade with distance, instead it just spreads out so it seems weaker at individual points. The amount of spreading out, if it's uniform in 3d, turns out to be exactly 1/r^2.

You get the same 1/r^2 if you measure the flow of water in a 3d volume with a point source of water in the centre, or electric current in a 3d block of metal with a point source of electric current in the centre. (In both cases, presumably through a thin pipe or cable to the centre).

In 2d space, you get a different formula from the geometry, 1/r. If you see a force, or flow, reducing by 1/r^2 in a system you thought was 2d, you might ask "is there a third dimension involved here which I haven't accounted for?"

In 1d, the force or flow doesn't reduce with distance. For example, current in an electrical wire is the same all along the wire.

And if you see 1/r^3 in 3d, you might speculate about a hidden fourth dimension to explain it.

If you don't know anything about infrastructure or software packaging I bet it could be difficult. Knowing all of this, when I first learned docker it was similar to learning a new scripting language. Not really difficult, but a lot of new concepts
I think this is a really poor analysis of both plans. Google and Meta have had AI-specific research labs for almost a decade now; TPUs, Llama and Tensorflow/Pytorch didn't materialize from nothing. They were part of a long-term, dedicated plan to explore AI capabilities. Both Google and Meta have Github accounts with thousands of open-source AI experiments.

You don't have to ascribe a business strategy to that any more than you ascribe a business strategy to whatever wack technology Apple patents next. These companies are using their R&D to test new technology, it's not hard to believe they do it for kicks since they already write-off hundreds of non-product developments a year.

"Request a quote" is a sales tactic to elicit as much money as possible from larger customers. It's never the reasons being bandied about, like complexity in enterprise agreements or customized discounts for scale, or any of the reasons the people slinging the product might have convinced themselves are true. It's about getting the opportunity to introduce sales tactics that a straightforward and honest price menu would provide.

"Request a quote" is a sign to me that the company is dishonest, with high pressure sales tactics, toxic incentives, and a culture of maximizing profit over providing quality service. I've never seen a counter-example of an awesome, high performing company I loved working with, who went the extra mile, use "Request a quote" or similar tactics.

"Request a quote" is a corporate version of a street busker con, with them needing to get up close and personal, to shuffle the numbers and dazzle you with "here's what we are willing to do, just for you!" as their hand slides into your pocket.

There are always better options that somehow manage to be honest, clear, and upfront with pricing. If a company is hiding the price, it's to get away with something that you'd call out as sketchy if you knew all the information in advance. Even if it's only to force an interaction with a skilled sales agent, it's a despicable tactic.
It is certainly an impressive feat, they all work and perform pretty well. They're doing this to dog food their own engine, mainly the UI side of it.

As far as I am aware all apps now use this instead of the native/web stacks they were using before, but its been a bit of a rocky transition.

Having used their website for years it just works and is pretty fast (However it is much slower in recent years than it once was), the new in-engine app just feels kinda clunky, its all incredibly slow and janky. Definitely not the smoothest of transitions

If I was a CTO at a mid to large company, that has no business relationship to Oracle, I'd absolutely order the Oracle domains to be blackholed. The liability is simply too high.

One employee downloads something and suddenly you need to license every seat in the Org. That's a crazy risk to take.
You actually have to do the math, it's not just a "no dark matter hurr durr" thing.

MOND predicts "no dark matter" if the acceleration regime is high. Most galaxies that havd "very little dark matter" are in the high acceleration regime.

Most of the others seem to be susceptible to observational error (e.g. ultra diffuses). Galaxy rotation curves measurements are highly sensitive to orientation of the rotational axis and distance to us (you're gonna have a hard time measuring it if the galaxy is face on)

It is correct and I used to work for a company where we moved everything to OpenJDK because of this. Legal was involved.
I think this is what happens when you get an appointed council making decisions rather than a democratically elected one. It's a bad idea because it lets the appointees and appointers to point fingers and dilute blame, which is another weapon the 1% can use to get policies in their best interest (often the opposite of those for the 99%) passed.
I haven't used either so I can't chime in on that front, but long ago I was pretty into Sails which is written by a team that loves rails, but switched to NodeJS so it's basically Node on Rails. I actually thought they discontinued it, but I just searched and it still exists. It was a solid framework like 5 years ago when I used it last so I assume it's quite mature now.

I totally agree with this but haven’t actually maintained any open source projects. Have you?

For me at least, it is easy to say the, I’m quite sure, objectively correct thing. Open source hobby projects have no obligation to anybody, just release code for fun, and anybody who expects more is the problem and should be ignored.

But there are lots of reports of burnout and stress. So I think there must be strong social pressure that people fall to, despite not having any legal or ethical obligations.

I mean for most of time, all of pre-history, humans got by with informal social structures and a feeling of wanting to provide their friends continued help, despite a lack of a real state or legal framework, and mostly informal ethics. So it isn’t that surprising that people feel like they have a real obligation to users when they’ve been working on a project for a while, right? Helping others is a human instinct.
The strong force increases with distance, fwiw.
