To me, enshittification also includes the feature bloat that comes from product managers and designers having to justify their salaries, which slowly turns things that were once lean and elegant into sluggish UI goop.

And that perfectly describes what is happening to frontend development.

> We have so many frameworks that you can switch to if React isn't your cup of tea.

Yes, that is what I was alluding to by calling it a "revolving cycle": Dominant Framework A is a bloated mess -> Framework B appears, it's lean and a joy to use -> Developers switch to Framework B, it becomes dominant -> Framework B gets enshittified into a bloated mess -> Framework C appears, it's lean and a joy to use

Happens everywhere in software, but in web frontend dev, it happens a lot more quickly.

There are many ways to arrive at an arithmetic sum, but there is only one correct sum.

If someone is willing to pay, who cares? Energy has a price. Focus on regulating how energy is generated, and when prices climb the market will solve the problem.

If instead you focus on using the government to outlaw demand, only failure will follow. I mean, didn't the government outlawing the demand for illegal drugs fail miserably? I believe drugs are cheaper, more potent, and more available than ever.

Similarly, if there is demand for compute, then compute will occur. There is always a clearing price commiserate with the risk.

XML is also a great option, but there are a few trade offs:

> XML is a many more tokens (much slower + $$$ for complex schemas)

> regardless of if you're looking for } or </output> its really a matter of "does your parser work". when you have three tokens that need to be correct "</" "output", ">", the odds of a mistake are higher, instead of when you just need "}".

That said, the parser is much easier to write, we're actually considering supporting XML in BAML. have you found any reductions of accuracy?

Also, not sure if you saw this, but apparently Claude doesn't actually prefer XML, it just happens to work well with it. Was recently new info for myself as well.

Not just AMD. I recently bought a nvidia 4060 card and i can't set the power limit lower than something like 75-90 W, at least in Linux.

Of course, it's possible that the lower limit has always been there for nvidia, but I just didn't know because I went without a dedicated video card for like 4 years.

For AMD aren't the drivers (partially) open source? Can't the change be reverted?

"Clearly" refers to the obviousness or self-evidence of the statement. In this context, "just" means "similarly" or "in the same way," or ig "exactly" if you like.

"Clearly" because exterior stimuli clearly influence both thinking and feeling, a concept supported by common experience and scientific understanding of human cognition and emotions.

For rent control you need to imagine landlords like pest in nature. How you control pest? By introducing predator that prey on pest. Or you can control resources that let pest thrive. For Ametican landlords there are no true predator other than governments. And governments typically are slow while landlords can adapt faster. In this case government would be like sabretooth tiger or megalodon predators moving so slow unable to do much to catch preys. The 2nd thing is the resources. Landlords thrive because asymmetric information. Renters find hard to negotiate. Renters also become desperate when public transports become limited in a highly demand area with no alternatives. Once you start to see this problem predatory-prey relationship, landlords as pest can be put under control. I suggest you guys read up how Singapore government control landlords. They have very practical and innovative ways that span decades of planning into future. Even though land is incredibly limited and cost of living high, in terms of available and affordable rents to citizens and foreigners will put London, NY, Tokyo to shame.

Rust already has a C ABI for those cases. Also, the C++ example is kinda bad because it doesn't have a standard ABI (only a bunch of implementation specific ones); they also mostly treat this ABI as stable, but this is also detrimental because it is making the performance of some features suboptimal (e.g. `unique_ptr`)

I disagree that it is always the first step towards understanding. It is for some people but it is not the only route. At the end of the day some memorization is needed in most disciplines not just math.

[Other BAML creator here!] one time we told a customer to do this to fix small json mistakes but turns out their customers don't tolerate a +20-30s increase in latency for regenerating a long json structure.

> Why did nature evolved for animals to eat each other?

Animals are inherently different than Humans when it comes to food choices. They do not have a choice, we do and yet, being an 'intelligent' animal does not equal to being 'wise'. Humans will kill and eat anything and everything that their senses like and that only happens when you trade sense pleasure for intelligence.

Most DNA is non-coding and encodes tweaks to which genes are expressed where and how. The same way evolution evolved reliable formation of complex body arrangements out of stochastic molecular processes and variations in gene expression based on location, nearby cells and their own signalling, it's done the same for neurons which are far from a homogenous mixture and thus can learn some things("instinctual behaviour") easier than others, all the way to it happening essentially automatically.

You seem to be making a bunch of somewhat odd assumptions? Eg that investors are idiots, and that it's easy to beat the market?

I was answering the hypothetical example of one company having this magic button. With the rest of the world operating as normal.

If you want to figure out the optimal approach to many companies having such magic buttons, that's a slightly different question.

You are right that creating companies isn't easy nor trivial. That's why the market so richly rewards creating successful companies from scratch. But that's nothing that a well-diversified investor needs to worry about for this particular decision. You just look at market prices.

> The thing is, the people who own these companies also happen to live in a word powered by the products they produce. If you kill a bunch of golden geese in pursuit of profits, they will see bigger numbers in their broker accounts, but it’ll be because everything we all use has become scarcer and more expensive.

> Sure, the owners will look richer - at least in comparison to everyone else. But would you rather be rich in a world of scarcity? Or middle class in a world of abundance?

You seem to assume zero competition? And also that the stock market is really bad at evaluating business decisions (at least worse than you)? If the latter is the case, you should become an investor and make a killing!

Especially if you are living in a world where everyone else is stupidly slaughtering their golden geese, you should be able to pick up some disgruntled ex-employees for cheap and just run a steady ship!

Another important consideration: at some level of abstraction a company is just a legal shell. 'Killing' a company might just mean that the old equity (another legal abstraction) is deleted, and the former creditors turn into equity holders. The operations don't even need to be affected by this at all. Of course, you can also 'kill' a company by shutting it down. But again, that doesn't necessarily remove any of the demand for its (type of) products, nor does it remove the experience of the people working there, nor does it break any of the machinery and hardware.

So if Adobe goes belly up, there are already plenty of other companies willing to fill their former niche.

Having first MTASC and then the as3 compiler on the command line was another route into modern-day build pipelines. The 3D engines were great, Box2D port was great, and looking at it all now in 2024, the APIs still hold up and Adobe could restart an entire multimedia division with it.
While that is 100% true, the real problem is that the risk of finding out whether you can make special art has significantly increased. Previously if you didn’t make it as an artist, you could still earn money with other art related tasks - in graphics, many became illustrators. In music, people made music for ads.

That plan B is now going away, and a music career will be much more like a sports career: either you make it in football, or you need to find another career where your football skills won’t be very useful.

That is obviously scary for many.

Social control, 'showing the door', is abused to silence dissidents.

Plenty of methaforical ideological death marches on different topics could have been avoided by social gatekeepers not having the social power to silence their friends or party co-members.

Pretending the question is really about someone being rude is patronizing by XKCD.

The concept of 'showing the door' is fine for practical reasons but the other present at the party need to follow in protest on any just so slightly transgression of power.

So now when authoritarianism and racism are in fashion again in ”the West”, those political movements that oppose it are in a quite bad spot, since freedom of thought and expression have been turned down to do a shortsighted delay of the shift in the first place.

RFC 9562 to add ULID-variants to the UUID spec is taking forever to standardize! Can't we just get it through already, and pester all mainstream frameworks and databases to support it please?

The RFC https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9562 lists 16 prior ULID schemes, and it is obviously not exhaustive because I've bumped into lots of hand-rolled schemes over the years.

In this case, standardization helps. Being able to have conversations about using UUIDv7 rather than having to bikeshed on the merits of which of the prior schemes fit and why would be sooooo much easier in corporate environments!

Not necessarily.

I can recall that a few years back I was browsing some right-wing forum and someone wrote "they will force you to have sex with them" which seemed absolutely ridiculous.

Then I was browsing a left-wing forum and the concensus was "refusing to date black people is racism and therefore the worst thing you can possibly do, refusing to date transsexuals is kinda allowed but we'd rather see you do".

I had a "shit, they were right" moment.

AI noob question:

Why do OpenAI/Anthropic/... not support constraining token generation? I'd imagine producing valid structured output would be at the top of their feature request lists.
Yeah, that's a curse of knowledge to be frank because you can see many magics once you have used many other languages and it is generally a good instinct to be skeptical about those magics anyway (Go included).
Really interesting library! In the docs, could you describe in a bit more detail which kind of JSON errors it tolerates? And which models currently work best with your parsing approach?

Another way to see it is to prepend every mathematical text involving ℤ with "for every ℤ such that [essential properties omitted]", so that you can apply it to several definitions of ℤ, rather than awkwardly redefining it after the fact. This is the mathematical equivalent of "programming to the interface", and is actually how mathematics are often formalized in modern proof assistants: as huge functors that abstract these details away.
There are two different kinds of Revolut throwaway cards: One that works just one time, and one that works indefinitely, and you need to cancel it manually. The one that you cancel manually works more often, for example in scenarios where they will first make a "test" deduction of $0.00, and then the real deduction.
Did I understand the documentation for many of these libraries correctly in that they reprompt until they receive valid JSON? If so I don't understand why one would do that when token masking is a deterministicly verifyable way to get structured output of any kind (as done by Guidance and LMQL for instance).
This is not meant to be snarky, I really am curious. Is there an upside to reprompting - aside from easier implementation.
This isn't the answer to that question, but llama.cpp has a feature to constrain output to the provided grammar, such as https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/blob/master/grammars/...

Others should really implement that as well. You still need to guide the model to produce e.g. JSON to get good results, but they will 100% guaranteed be valid per the grammar.

One big practical benefit of UUIDv7 is that it is hex, and simple substring extraction and from_hex functions, which are available pretty much everywhere, will be able to extract the timestamp portion from the high bits.

Having had to massage lots of data with base62 and other weirdnesses, this lowest common denominator approach is a really big selling point.

People often bikeshed about shaving a few bytes off the ID or something, but in most applications this is not very important and data storage formats are usually compressed so costs are about entropy not alphabet.
Yes, but don't forget the law of karma and how most of the humans come from animal bodies in the past life. Everybody has a chance to burn their karma as an animal with no free-will and end up with a human-birth where you do have a free-will, and intelligence to use that free-will.
