Sure, but as with a lot of this stuff, this allows that to be done _at scale_. "[bad thing] happens anyway" isn't a great argument against "we should ban this thing where [bad thing] is likely to happen at massive frequency".

Ah, the B type developer. Knows enough to find exciting and interesting problems but doesn’t know how to distinctly separate a type C (who can’t solve the problem at all) from a type A ( who knows the problem in and out and knows “it depends”). Not all that different to me from midlevel dev who learns about concurrency/metaprogramming/etc and starts using it as a tool for everything. Just enough to be dangerous.

You're not asking gender of the test taker. Your results will be skewed because you're probably getting more men than women. Women in general have more ability to detect green vs blue.

For me, this is the most important point of the article:

And although, as Knoll is quick to point out, photos were being altered long ago in Soviet Russia, it was only Photoshop that democratised that ability. In a way Jennifer was the last person to sit on solid ground, gazing out into an infinitely fluid sea of zeros and ones, the last woman to inhabit a world where the camera never lied.

We now live in a world where anything we see, we hear, or speak is never taken on its value any more. You can have a picture of you standing next to Kim Kardashian and everybody will wonder if its actually you standing next to her - or did you manipulate the photo? You can watch a video and we now wonder if what we're seeing is actually real or not.

This photo was the last off ramp to a reality where nothing truly is what it seems anymore. I never thought or could imagine the world I currently reside in.

I'm saying the left (not everyone by any means) unfairly oversimplifies the views of economists. Absolutely no-one who is taken even vaguely seriously in economics thinks that consumers are rational or that markets are 100% efficient.
That's fine for when users are interactively typing commands, but it doesn't work when the command is being run by a non-busybox program which expects commands to exist in the standard locations.

So many people misunderstand landfills.

All the garbage produced in the U.S. for the next 1000 years could fit into a landfill 100 yards deep and 35 miles across on each side.

That is, landfills take a trivial amount of space.

Putting stuff in a landfill is way better for global warming since its not burned, the carbon is buried.

Almost all plastic waste in developed countries ends up in landfills, not the natural environment. The plastic pollution in the ocean is from developing countries and things unrelated to our soda bottles.

Modern landfills (as this article describes) are really efficient and have basically no leakage to the environment. As mentioned, you can make beautiful parks on a closed landfill with no smell. Technology is amazing.
The big shift for me was when I moved to an area with seperate food recycling. The general rubbish is much cleaner, although probably more toxic in a landfill, as it is just the soft plastic or anything soiled.
It was fun but I messed up the statistics! I had Redshift running, which (maybe you know) makes the colors more reddish. And I got a bluer than 98% of the population result. Turning off Redshift ... makes me instead greener than bluer.

with all due respect, it sounds like you have the privilege of working in some relatively tidy codebases (and I'm jealous!)

with a legacy codebase, or a fork of a dependency that had to be patched which uses an incompatible buildsystem, or any C/C++/obj-c/etc that heavily uses the preprocessor or nonstandard build practices, or codebases that mix lots of different languages over awkward FFI boundaries and so on and so forth -- there are so many situations where sometimes an IDE just can't get you 100% of the way there and you have to revert to grepping to do any real work

that being said, I don't fully support the idea of handcuffing your code in the name of greppability, but I think dismissing it as a metric under the premise that IDEs make grepping "obsolete" is a little bit hasty
There's no reason for concrete examples, because the point was about the fundamental misguidedness of parser generators, not about problems with individual parser generators or the nice things you can do in a hand-rolled one, but to accommodate you, ANTLR gives one on its home page: "... At Twitter, we use it exclusively for query parsing in Twitter search... Samuel Luckenbill, Senior Manager of Search Infrastructure, Twitter, inc."

Also, regexps are used very often in production, and that's definitely a parser-generator of sorts.

The memory corruption example was an analog, but to spell it out: it's easier and faster to write a correct parser using flex/bison than by hand, especially for more complex languages. Parser-generators have their use, and are not fundamentally misguided. That you might want to write your own parser in some cases does not diminish that (nor vice versa).

I think there's no issue with permitting writers to use AI tools to participate in NaNoWriMo.

I've participated a three (or four?) times in the annual NaNoWriMo and completed twice.

When I first participated, I attended a group to help understand how to approach the project. In the group there were several aspiring writers. The group continued after the year's project began and many of the people who most wanted to be writers were already struggling to meet the daily writing quota (so that they'd reach the goal after 30 days).

I think any tools that people use that help them complete NaNoWriMo are fine. People must live with their own decisions and, if the tools write the majority of their submission, that's their decision.

Other people using AI tools doesn't impact my ability to complete the year's NaNoWriMo. It doesn't affect me in any way.

The group leader told us about a tool that she used that would begin erasing characters if she stopped typing for longer than about 5 seconds during her daily write. That's a tool I wouldn't ever use :-)
Congratulations. The product looks very interesting.

Also congratulations on building a canvas engine library! Nothing is easy when it comes to canvas. Creating one for the WebGL canvas is magnitudes of more difficulty compared to 2D (which is what my library maps to).

I'd love to hear your horror stories when it came to coding up the text layout functionality and text editor - that is, in my view, the hardest part of the job: I may have invented a few new swear words while tackling that work.

I'd also be interested in your plans for accessibility. Not just making the tool accessible, but how such a tool may push designers to consider accessibility as a first class requirement for the end user in the projects they build with the tool.

Best wishes and great fortune!
Mostly being facetious. But at the time, I never knew someone who opted out. It just wasn't seen as a danger. It was a great way to find Doc Brown or Sarah Connor.
I mean, there's also the possibility of self-hosting GitLab if you want, a lot of companies do that because the feature set (and GitLab CI in particular) is quite pleasant: https://about.gitlab.com/install/

That said, keeping up with the updates wasn't all that pleasant, so I migrated my personal stuff over to Gitea and Drone CI (there's also Woodpecker CI), as well as Sonatype Nexus, that's a quite boring and workable setup.

The ideas behind Forgejo are pretty cool, for anyone curious: https://forgejo.org/compare-to-gitea/ it's just that I haven't had a reason to switch myself yet, similarly to how I was actually content with Gogs for the longest time ever.
I love protobufs as a type-safe way of defining messages and providing auto-generated clients across languages.

I can't stand gRPC. It's such a Google-developed product and protocol that trying to use it in a simpler system (e.g. everyone else) is frustrating at best, and infuriating at worst. Everything is custom and different than what you're expecting to deal with when at its core, it is still just HTTP.

Something like Twirp (https://github.com/twitchtv/twirp) is so much better. Use existing transports and protocols, then everything else Just Works.

The landing page doesn't seem very exciting (on mobile at least) but the "practice" area of the site contains quite a few web apps to demonstrate the concepts. I think the basic idea is that western music uses 12 tones, and chromatone gives each of those tones a color, and uses those 12 color/tone pairs as a basis for teaching music theory in a visual way.

Here's a simple app that works on mobile (android/chrome anyway):
https://see.chromatone.center/

And also here's where I found a lot of additional web apps. I'll look through them more when I'm at my PC. But just thought I'd post these here for anyone who clicked on the hn link but was underwhelmed or confused by the landing page:

The other response to you is correct. It's about material blocking. Skin depth, how far electromagnetic waves can penetrate, is inversely proportional to the square root of the frequency.

Baldur's Gate 3 has turn-based combat, like D&D should have. The game sure has been praised everywhere already, but as I play almost exclusively turn-based games, I can confirm that it checked all my boxes. Absolutely superb game.

I never played the Wizardry series myself, but I can see that Might & Magic 7: For Blood and Honor with its turn based combat is the title that defined for me what an RPG should feel like.
It’s truly depressing that almost none of the reasons that 512MB is no longer a luxurious amount of memory have to do with software being more capable and useful than it used to be.
Not OP, but good clarification. I wasn't aware (yet it makes intuitive sense, like most HN policies).
When every app on your phone runs at start up and in the background, how can you tell which app is using the mic?
But is that really good? I can increase my sensivity very high on my mouse, where I barely have to move the mouse. However, this does cause me more pain than low sensitivity instead. High sensitivity makes me move the mouse almost entirely with the wrist, where low sensitivity uses the wrist and forearm.

I don't know if the same applies to typing, but I can see a mechanism where it is.

Everything DevOps / Cloud engineering. Looking to help scale, automate, and make things self-service for developers.
I agree, I think the author really shot themselves in the foot when they, at length, criticized the merits of a program using argv[0].

The real point are the security flaws in a calling program setting argv[0], because it really, really should be set by the operating system. (As a programmer, I shouldn't have to defend against these kinds of attacks. The OS should block it.)

The criticisms of valid programming practices, IMO, hurt the author's credibility and distract from the real point of the article.
AI and AI tools is a very divisive question in all creative fields. Yes.

In the short term, I don't see much alternative but to split each such challenge or prize in two. Which also is not much of a problem.

There’s some parkland adjacent to the La Puente Landfill (assuming I’m remembering the correct landfill along the 60). I remember going on a hiking trip in the foothills nearby back in the 90s and seeing (and smelling) the landfill in operation there. It occurs to me that I’ve not had that many cases where I’ve been able to directly observe a landfill. The only other instance I can think of was visiting a retired former teacher in Florida and he pointed out a hill a few miles away from his condo and explaining that the hill was actually a pile of trash.

I think that at least some in the Chicago area are former quarries.

You could start with a list of things the rest of the world would need in order to emulate Tokyo, which basically means turning the entire world into a walk-able city only involving the temperate band hf the planet. If you would like me to hold your hand though generating this list of material and labor costs, I'm not going to do that. If you want me to put on a PM hat and give you a sample schedule and estimated costs, I'm not going to do that either.

If you can't even figure out how to look up _anything_ about how to implement your plan, how the fuck do you expect it to ever become a reality?

This is nonsense. It will not happen.
Pretty much anything, but yea especially AI in all its forms and formats.

The leap from playing with ChatGPT to building Bayesian filters in scikit-learn was like going from the 1-meter to 3-meter diving boards (keeping with the swimming theme). I'm not ready to climb to the 5 and 10-meter versions of AI/ML yet. :-)
The security issues the author points out later in the article do have merit.

Unfortunately, the author shot their credibility in the foot by perseverating on use of argv[0]; instead of glossing over it and getting to the point.
> The G7 no longer has the highest share of the global GDP,

They still have more than half of the entire G20 though.

> They can have access to the largest share of the world GDP while ignoring sanctions and not having to use US dollars or euros.

This gives those countries more freedom and reduces the US ability to put pressure on those countries, but it's not an indication that the US is going to stop being the reserve currency anytime soon.

Prominent astrophysicists I trust say there is no evidence for Elizondo’s claims.

Have we examined all motives here? Possible motives include:

A government program for uniting religious belief to some end.

A government program to gauge how people would react to disclosure if non-human intelligence was ever discovered (arguably we are already there with LLMs).

A cover for advanced military craft.

And finally, by far the most likely in my opinion, the profit motive. To the Stars Academy, LLC, now known as To the Stars (TTS), is essentially an entertainment company.

This is the chauvinism I maybe failed to surface effectively enough. People in the cloud "just scale"; and big cuddly cloud says "ooooh, we block DoS and we won't charge you for the ingress traffic" when they whine. Whereas it really should be alleged DoS, it's not like I won't implement mitigations.

I publish telemetry outing the worst offenders. What is Amazon doing for me, as a non-customer, to support our presumably shared goal? So maybe it's not really a shared goal.

Here's an analogy which is very visceral for me: I have a chronic condition, which has never been "root caused" in my case by the school of western allopathic medicine. They put me on (several) drugs, I've taken them for a decade.

Due to the ongoing enshittification of medical care over the past several years, I ended up having to see a naturopathic physician (with prescribing privileges, and not covered by my insurance) to get the prescriptions renewed because the western docs simply had better things to do than schedule and keep an appointment. Dude does the things a western doc should do, looks at the labs, and says with all seriousness: have you considered maybe you're allergic to drug "Y"?

Holy fuck well that causes all kinds of problems identifying a replacement therapy, but that's not the point of the story here.

Point is they've never done root cause, blamed the increasingly worse side effects on the condition they never root caused, put me on more drugs for the side effects, and told me to just live with it because that's what happens when you get older: this is what happens when you get trapped in an ecosystem.

So I have identified a replacement therapy, it maybe doesn't work so well for the symptom drug Y was supposed to mitigate but it works. On the other hand, here are the side effects: constellation of symptoms of the actual condition (drug Y was intended to mitigate only one of them) has virtually disappeared, I sleep better, I have more energy, and I've lost nearly 20 pounds in the last six months.

In summary, it's not that hard to run my own server (I have the skills, knowledge and specialized bespoke tools to support doing it my way). It keeps my professional skills sharp and gives me real practical intelligence about the fight in the streets.

Sounds expensive. These academic purists are happy working in a factory, are they? Good for them! I always thought that housing costs there would be exorbitant, but I think I get it now. Legos must be what they build the houses from!

Solve one problem and you will probably need to solve another one. So I guess they live in the Lego houses, and they used what they learned to make a nice lil family business, selling high quality bricks made of oil to kids worldwide.

>I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm going to be very surprised if the quality is worse from this.

I have some bad news for you fam. "Biodegradable" means that they will dissolve in kid spit, and in landfills and especially when floating in the sea under sunny skies. Right now legos are one of the closest things we have to the One Ring, except that to get them melted down our Frodo would have to swim down to the subduction zones of the earth and deposit them into the mantle.

I know Greta is from Sweden, but surely there are no shortage of Danish 13 year olds who will furiously demand that a more environmentally friendly process for these toys be implemented. After all, you know the old quote right?
