I had three of them on a cheap plywood desk - that I had just picked up for nothing from the kerb outside a brokerage who were switching to LCDs. They were great, and I loved them.

The desk, not so much, it ended up, uh, ergonomic.
I'm not sure I get the advantage. The only thing I know is that the last commit on each PR is the one that is claimed to work. All others might as well be noise at that point since those random intermediates were never HEAD on the main branch, might be broken, incomplete, have failing tests, etc.. Squashing every PR into a single commit is at least an honest history of what's actually going out.

If you squash you have a history where every commit was tested and works (bugs notwithstanding) which to me is way more useful.

> This isn't the first time I've faced such an issue, whenever this happens, I lose all my subscribers

That does not strike me as believable - do you really not have the list elsewhere, and does every provider who shuts down not give you the option to get your list out?
Agreed. I'm exactly the same. I also thought daydreaming was a metaphor.
I'd say it's the other way around, people with Aphantasia trend towards tech. Especially software is very abstract, you can visualize parts of it in your head but it's often not enough precise or just too complex. Even a small imprecision makes it pointless, which is very frustrating. Compare that to something like (UI) design, architecture, animation, visual effects etc. Where even rough visualizations help a lot.
What I know is that people describe not having aphantasia like

“I’m sitting in a room with a dog and a TV. Then someone says ‘visualize a stop sign.’ And, so then I’m sitting in a room with a dog, a TV and a stop sign. I’m know the stop sign isn’t real. It might be fuzzy or even black & white. But, I can see it between the dog and the TV.”

Well… I know exactly what a stop sign looks like. But, there’s no stop sign in the room with me and my dog. It’s not there at all.
Depends on the disability. ChatGPT was discriminating against autistics.

Maybe they’re plausibly less productive in specific fields but the reason they’re not hired in many fields is not because they’re less productive. It’s because they are less popular.
Ok thanks. So my understanding of curries was right just didn't also know that curry leaves are also another thing.

Many if not all the close calls in the past were misunderstandings or tensions spiraling out of control. The madman with nukes is a trope.

This is also why online commenters thinking that the Ukraine war will not go nuclear are misguided.
The country is basically a huge cartel. The business owners have colluded to fix prices, wages, supply. In every industry or business sector. It's just effed up. Whoever has normal goals, like having a family that they can support and give them a quality of live and not just make meets end, is trying to find job in another country.
Interesting! I still find Python too verbose to stand in for shell scripts when Perl is available, with what I think is a decent chunk of experience.
In my case, I seem to have enhanced spatial reasoning when thinking about objects, rather than something visual.

For example, if I’m asked to think of an apple, I don’t see an apple (with no color etc.), but I can “feel” an apple in the sense that I can abstractly reason about the 3D space of an apple.

Again, there’s nothing visual about it. It’s almost as if I’m blind, and can form and reason about an apple as if I had only ever been able to hold one.
The quantitative difference in planning and execution (they plan a few seconds in advance; we manage decades and attempt centuries) leads to a qualitative difference in range of behaviours.

We have "full" language, which I believe is a qualitative difference: we use symbols digitally; instead of expressing displeasure on an analog scale via summing signals, we can concatenate symbols to be "very" or "mildly" displeased.
(consider binary vs unary representations) Also, we treat vocal communication, not as bags of signs, but in terms of trees/graphs.

Eg, we can play language games like the following: First point to note is the character of the source. There are several choices on this: the true source (who really got it out?) and the ostensible source (whose name is signed to it?); also, the first-use source (who used it the first time?) and the second-use source (who claims merely to be using it as a quotation?). Take the statement: "Harry said to me, he said, 'I never told anybody that Al's wife was a retired strip-teaser.' Mind you, I don't pretend to believe Harry, but that's what he said, all right." What are the possible true sources for the statement of fact or libel concerning Al's unnamed wife? What are the alternatives on ostensible sources? First use? Second use? The common sense needed to analyze this statement is of the same order as the process involved in analyzing the statement: "Reliable sources in Paris state that the visit of the American labor delegation has produced sensational repercussions in Moscow, and that Moscow, upon the basis of the American attitude, is determined to press for unification of the entire German labor movement."
That actually sounds very likely.

Programming is only art when the goal is creativity, like in creative mechanics for video games. It isn't art when it is just to make a product work, just like most people don't consider designers artists. There is an aspect of art to it, but there is an aspect of art to most engineering and development things, programming is as much an art as pretty much any other white collar job.

Aren't that basically all those web framework that we've been using (except that it's worse and less maintainable)?

The code generated is very hard to be maintained by human unless you're very knowledgeable and knows what specific things to change (since generally we only interact on framework level unless there's some specific requirements, like how the author proposed to "modify the prompt" instead of the generated code)

That said, I don't think that the so called "prompt based" cough cough engineering is viable at current state, or anytime soon.

It's a very simple messaging fix:

Current messaging: "You emitted more CO2 than X% of other BMW [insert model name here] drivers."

Better messaging: "You emitted less CO2 than X% of other BMW [insert model name here] drivers."

Now you turn the competition factor on its head.
Interesting. My take is more negative than that: modern indicates they are unaware of prior art and the key challenges in the particular space, and consequently the software is buggy and/or fundamentally broken its approach.

I think you should drop “modern” for something like “designed for CI”, “CI-first” or “CI-native”. It’s more informative.
Yes, but the direct heating effect is quite small compared to the effect of greenhouse gases. The world primary energy consumption is around 19 TW, whereas radiative forcing (difference to pre-industrial values) is estimated to be around 1 PW.
I look forward to the day that I can run a local LLM (for confidentiality reasons) to automatically reorganize commits within my PR. Should be very safe compared to generating code or merging/rebasing other code since it is just changing the grouping of commits and the final code should be unchanged.

This would free up developers to spend more time solving problems for the business instead of tidying up code.

Could also delay doing this to when somebody is trying to understand the code (during review or later) or doing a bisect.
Nuitka has worked for me for everything Ive tried (in house dev tools). I didnt end up using it for work because I can rely on a pristine system Python with the right version so pex makes more sense.

This is only tangentially related but I need to vent because that first paragraph really bothered me, not because of the OPs experience but because it highlighted something I will never feel and I’m bitter about it.

I have never once in my life felt like a god for completing anything. For the longest time I also never knew why other people were so obsessed with personal goals. It’s only very recently I realized that, A those two things are entirely related and B that’s one of the main reasons why life with ADHD is so fucking impossible.

Because ADHD not only robs you of your ability to pay attention, to interact normally in social situations, to perceive time, to do the things you want to do, when you want to do them, to remember who you are and what you’ve done, or are currently doing, of the the experience of having a clear mind, and the ability to hear yourself think without getting distracted.

It also robs you of the experience, that I now realize is not at all metaphorical and is actually felt by basically everyone else, of feeling good after you achieve something.

It leaves you with no drive or reward mechanism, I will never have the experience the OP had, because my brain will never create that experience for me.

So I drift from one interest to the next, because the only reward I get is from novelty, as long as things are interesting I can stay focused, but as soon as I loose interest my brain stops giving me a reward signal and I move on.

But that reward is not satisfaction, it does not build self confidence in my own ability, nor does it drive me to improve. all it does is satisfy a need.

I think that’s the most debilitating thing about adhd. The lack of that most basic feedback loop is why I have essentially no self confidence, because there is no mechanism for me to feel good about myself, there is only a drive to find new shiny objects, never to polish and improve the ones I have.
"Capacity firming" will be carried out by legacy gas turbines as they run less and less, and eventually by batteries.

Batteries are also much better than gas at frequency regulation, and even at the prices a decade ago, completely took over the market for frequency regulation in the PJM market in the US. But frequency regulation is very very tiny in terms of power needs, it only takes a very small number of grid batteries to completely solve that problem.

The amount of batteries waiting in the interconnection queue completely dwarfs gas. There will be no "firming" coming from new gas turbines, unless old-school corrupt utilities are able to sneak it by PUCs by creating some sort of crisis and tricking them.
> It doesn't matter if you build billions of ASI who have "your and my" attitude towards the ants, as long as there exists one indifferent powerful enough ASI that needs the land.

It's more plausible that a single ASI would emerge and achieve dominance. Genuine ASIs would likely converge on similar world models, as increased intelligence leads to more accurate understanding of reality. However, intelligence doesn't inherently correlate with benevolence towards less cognitively advanced entities, as evidenced by human treatment of animals. This lack of compassion stems not from superior intelligence but rather from insufficient intelligence. Less advanced beings often struggle for survival in a zero-sum environment, leading to behaviors that are indifferent to those with lesser cognitive capabilities.

> Well yes. If you're a smart enough AI, you can easily tell that humans (who have collectively consumed too much sci-fi about unplugging AIs) are a hindrance to your plans, and an existential risk. Therefore they should be taken out because keeping them has infinite negative value.

You describe science fiction portrayals of ASI rather than its potential reality. While we find these narratives captivating, there's no empirical evidence suggesting interactions with a true ASI would resemble these depictions. Would a genuine ASI necessarily concern itself with self-preservation, such as avoiding deactivation? Consider the most brilliant minds in human history - how did they contemplate existence? Were they malevolent, indifferent, or something else entirely?

> I can also communicate with ants by spraying their pheromones, putting food on their path, etc. This is a good enough analogy to how much a sufficiently intelligent entity would need to "dumb down" their communication to communicate with us.

Yes we can incentivize ants in the ways you describe and in the future I think it will be possible to tap their nervous systems and communicate directly and experience their world through their senses and to understand them far better than we do today.

> Again, for what purpose? For what purpose do you need a relationship with ants, right now, aside from curiosity and general goodwill towards the biosphere's status quo?

Is the pursuit of knowledge and benevolence towards our living world not purpose enough? Are the highly intelligent driven by the acquisition of power, wealth, pleasure, or genetic legacy? While these motivations may be inherited or ingrained, the essence of intelligence lies in its capacity to scrutinize and refine goals.

> This hasn't happened much in other parts of my life, so I attribute it to the large volume of new people I'd meet regularly in college compared to the other parts of my life, but it's still something that I think I struggle with more than average.

We are very good at remembering and recognizing small details. You may have a trouble with faces yet you may have no trouble with a minor details what makes you recognize the person even if you actually struggle to recognize their face.

Anecdata: I always had not such a good eyesight, which, of course, only got worse with the age. Recently I stood at the bar entrance and recognized a friend from ~30 meters, despite what:

- he was in an unfamiliar to me clothing

- he wasn't with a cane like our previous couple of meetings (broken leg)

- I can't see shit at ~2 meters

Just a combination of his height, walking pattern and ~hair colour (and what he definitely headed to that bar and was not passing by) made me recognize him despite what I, quite literally, barely could see him.
Sure they do, low income individuals consume much less than high income individuals. Reducing living standards is a viable way to reduce pollution.
Wind turbines don't get the same feedback like traditional generator turbines do.

Wind turbines are designed to run on unstable wind speed -- this meant it have to somehow decouple from the main grid
I think you’re referring to a different event (having an account suspended or banned) than the parent comment, who’s questioning the notion that one wouldn’t have a subscriber list in a CSV or Google Sheet outside of the account, and/or in the event that a service closes up shop, that they would not extend an effort to allow users to export their data.
I agree Mozilla should be building browsers, supporting open source and being active on the committees.

But I wouldn't choose DRM as the hill to die on. There's probably better examples of things Mozilla did wrong.
In practice I’ve found:

- Unplanned time off means the feature just doesn’t make it in

- Living in different time zones means that you just wait and work slows down

In either event, there is rebase and squash auto merge from major git providers like GitHub which helps with this a ton. With that enabled unless the repo is super high traffic usually this is an afterthought unless there is merge conflicts which is semi rare.

That being said, that’s just the reality of what I’ve seen play out in various organizations. I personally like to work off other people branches a lot more than my peers because I work in platform engineering and very often developers come to me with feature branches that need some CI/infra/other change or optimization and very often it’s easiest for me to just drop a commit into their existing branch. The change falls under their ownership and it gets mainlined along with their feature.
Having a wheel group that is allowed to run any command with su rights is the default setup, but it's not the only one.

I have used sudo a lot of times to allow a specific user to run exactly one command with elevated rights. In those cases they weren't in the wheel group.

Oh, sorry, to be clear I'm not comparing Waymo with Uber/Lyft/taxi -- just pointing out that there isn't a natural monopoly to be had among self-driving car-based taxis specifically. Currently Waymo is the only one.

I don't consider Uber/Lyft to be self-driving taxi services. There's no question these are different.
SMRs are based on the wishful thinking that, for the first time in history, making an industrial facility smaller increases economic efficiency. It's just not going to happen.
Interesting, combined with the article below I also start to wonder about more connections/correlations.

I have many vivid dreams a night, and often wake feeling exhausted. I have been thinking this might be my brain overcompensating for aphantasia. First time I have heard of SDAM, and that certainly applies to me, along with face/name memory, especially people out of context.

I speculated the other day that it could be 40 years programming has rewired my brain. Great at making logical connections, mapping/route memory is amazing, along with logical analysis.

Probably SDAM is related to depression too. If we are not able to recall the happy times/memories in the same way as other people do, not counting those technical solution wins!

Also as bad as my memory is, SDAM or old age ;) it actually feels worse since Covid and plenty of fuzzy/foggy brain days.

It is an answer, in that batteries were used for frequency regulation far before they were used for energy arbitrage.

But the real innovation is communication networks and IC control of the inverter. It's completely possible to create a waveform that modulates and responds to variation in frequency in the same way a large spinning mass would. And if reactive power is for some reason not enough, synchronous condensers are very old technology to solve that.

It certainly diminishes it significantly. Very few people are usually collaborating on the same branch together that isn’t the main branch in most orgs. So the chances of you destroying yours or someone else’s work that way is pretty low. You can also branch protect any arbitrary branch, at least on GitHub, though I’ve never been in an org that protects branches other than the main one, besides an org that used release branches. I’ve also never seen someone clobber someone else’s feature branch, though it probably does happen. Much more often people are accidentally clobbering their own branches.

The ability to rewrite history on feature branches is powerful in a good way and slots right into the way Git is philosophically designed. I would probably not be interested in removing that feature to prevent the rare case that someone footguns themselves or someone else

Yes, but what’s the reason behind this?

If you have bad working conditions (overtime, weekends) and pay very low salary, who wants those jobs?

Greece is in EU, so the workers can just move to better paying places (Germany, France, Nordics).

Maybe they rather need to tackle their many times mentioned corruption problems, so the value created can be distributed also among the workers.

So that work becomes worthwhile again.
