Have you read any of the reporting about these companies? Tiktok and DJI both have significant ties with the CCP, and behave similarly. https://www.nytimes.com/article/tiktok-ban.html

In a previous thread about this, the conclusion people came to is that there simply isn't any equivalent competitors. They are either comically expensive, of have laughably low feature sets comparatively.
I’d assume it’s so they can look they they’re doing something while actually doing nothing at all.

What is the computer meaning of "empty?"

I'll answer - there really isn't one. You could say "undefined" but we already have another word for that ("undefined") - an "empty" construct doesn't exist in any other programming language that I'm aware of. Back in PHP's way-too-helpful days, they came up with this concept, so they got to define what it meant. (And to be fair, as with other things from the bad old days, it has caused confusion ever since.)
I just skimmed the article, but it reminds me of something from my own PhD in fluid dynamics. I worked in liquid jets/sprays, basically, when a stream of liquid flows from a nozzle and breaks into droplets. Nearly everyone has seen this in some form.

I published a "regime diagram" improving the existing categorization of types of liquid jet breakup. There were a lot of changes from the status quo, but one that strikes me as particularly sad was the addition of a new regime that I called "turbulent Rayleigh". Every time men pee, they create a turbulent Rayleigh liquid jet. Yet this was a mostly foreign concept to spray researchers! You can find a few papers that identify what they view as an anomaly, but the papers seem to be mostly ignored and they don't go beyond saying something like "Something here is weird, future researchers should look into this". I did my share, making a theoretical model of the regime, showing how it's fundamentally different from the conventional laminar Rayleigh regime. Most spray researchers would consider a "Rayleigh" jet to be inherently laminar, but that's a misconception.

The reason why this happened is that liquid jet/sprays research is heavily biased towards fuel sprays, which rarely ever have this regime. You basically need a long tube (or something similar) to reduce the Reynolds number for turbulence to appear, which usually doesn't happen in fuel spray nozzles. Fuel sprays tend to have lower surface tension and higher viscosity than water/pee too, which makes seeing a turbulent Rayleigh jet even harder.

Cheap security camera data is very static and often only locally and temporarily relevant. Drones are often used to survey infrastructure; they provide information much more valuable and varied than a security camera.

Until recently, DJI drones stored some keyframes and flight records in the cloud by default. https://viewpoints.dji.com/blog/dji-to-disable-flight-record...
Yes you can. What was the name of the agent that was going to replace all developers? Devin or something? It was shown it took more time iterate over a problem and created terrible solutions.

LLMs are in the evolutionary phase, IMHO. I doubt we're going to see revolutionary improvements from GPTs. So I say time and time again: the technology is here, show it doing all the marvelous things today. (btw, this is not directed at your comment in particular and I digressed a bit, sorry).

Another way of looking at it is that the day you take funding from that day you are trying to sell that company. Realistically how many companies will have IPO. Not many. So your next best option is to get bought out.

How fucked up is that. Think about it. You are starting a startup and you know that your end goal is to sell it off. Fuck that shit. It's not for me.
Don’t take it wrongly but "you should do what you love or your life is meaningless" is a very bourgeois idea.

I personally very much enjoy what my salary allows me to do despite actively disagreeing with most (but not all) of what the company I work for does. My role has an overall positive but fairly minute impact on this trajectory and I’m fine with that. I’m not defined by my work.

I have plenty of space outside of my job to actually actively advocate for things I genuinely care about without mingling the two.

Yeah, I'd consider the COVID kids to be in a similar boat to those of us who were in college for the GFC. The only reason interest rates were raised as suddenly and drastically as they were is because of COVID, which is a freak event. (Albeit one we should have been planning for as a country.)

There are ways to get student loans discharged in bankruptcy now, and one of the criteria that can be used is essentially that you were sold a bait and switch. (e.g. if the school majorly misrepresented what graduates from certain majors earned) I'd argue that there are cohorts who had that happen on essentially a societal scale, and we should modify the existing legal principle to include deception by the government/industry and not just by educational institutions.

I also think there might be societal stability benefits to this - one of the biggest black pills I've ever encountered was that in the GFC, people could lose their houses/go bankrupt and be allowed to start over even if they took out a NINJA mortgage, that the mortgage brokers/sellers individually saw no punishment, and almost all the high up people who caused/exacerbated the issues got off scot free or were eligible for new starts. If an adult in their 30s-50s makes a bad choice, we have to bail them out or help or not hold them accountable? But the kids who made bad decisions at 17 should be held to them for life? It was just a clear case of shitting on people without the power to push back that it made me revile a lot of American 'values'.

The will also be in for a surprise when they find out they can never be innovative enough to not have a group of people online downplaying the innovation, because of other things that came before it, or components and concepts that were used to create it.

Go all the way back to the first guy who made the first screw. A foundational innovation. The critics of the day might have said, “that’s not an innovation, he just wrapped an incline plane around a cylinder. What a joke.” Prior to that when the incline plane was described the critics may have said, “wow, what an amazing and ‘innovative’ scientist, he thinks he invented hills. Ha.”

There is no hard line that separates evolution from revolution at the design stage. It’s really up to the market. Seemingly small changes, like pre-sliced bread, can change everything. While things people think will be revolutionary fall flat… remember when the Segway (Ginger) hype, it was going to change the design of cities. It didn’t.
In response to a request for an ethical analysis of the question of whether the "human/natural" distinction has merit, you assumed that it does - in, again, a fashion demonstrating no knowledge of any research in animal behavior past about 1955 at the most generous possible outside - and then proceeded to give an analysis following solely from that outdated and frankly ignorant assumption. In consequence the analysis is entirely vacuous, and the effort that went into it wasted.

As a declaration of what you believe and a menu of justifications for same, it serves, but no one was asking for that. As a consideration of the question actually under discussion there is simply nothing here, and I don't see anything to suggest you have thus far even noticed the lack.

That is somewhat funny to me, I admit. It probably shouldn't be by now. The combination of overweening confidence in sound reasoning with total lack of care for valid premises is a common theme in online utilitarianism, but I think it's the shamelessness more than anything that gets me - like a Monty Python sketch that doesn't know it is one. A bad habit, I grant, but I think I still prefer it over that of not bothering first to find out what I know and what I don't.
The same way than any other companies: they advertise the positions they are looking for.

But you will find very little misanthropy there. The salaries are not that great so most of the engineers are either genuinely interested in the complexity of what they build (aerospace and naval is often like that) or invested in the mission (serving the nation).

> CRUDy web API things, because frankly that's most of all software that gets written

If that statement is true (I couldn't say), I might argue it's incomplete, because the elephant in the room is JS/TS. Haskell-in-the-browser is in horrible shape, which means that options for tight integration with UI code are severely limited. If there really is endless work for UI-less, JS-foreign web tech then that's great for Haskell ... maybe.

Because ... look what you've done to have an incrementally better experience writing CRUD apps:

1. You've got existential bus risk in your senior haskeller, and you live or die by their quality and experience, which since there's strictly less of them, is probably off the beaten path.

2. You've chosen a stack that has a massively smaller hiring pool. The benefit of "oh they'll take less pay because of the shiny" is maybe great at first, but if you have any adoption and attendant perf problems, you'll need those senior devs. Even if they are willing to learn, they can't use the tools they know best so at a minimum you're losing momentum.

3. This is more typical of smaller langs but Haskell has it's own spin on it: you're risking not having library support for a million things when you need it. Haskell has the false comfort of doing C FFI well, but that just means that when your core integration stops being maintained, now your haskellers better be C-savvy as well.

> dire and antagonistic view of things

If that's true, it's because the promise is so much greater than vanilla apps. I loooove runtime languages and Haskell should be the best of them: better-than-average GC, incredible concurrency support, great FFI, flawless refactoring, perfect DSLs, solid apps. It makes it worth forcing programmers to learn an unusual language if you can really conquer anything, and for a bright moment in the 2010s it seemed like you could.

Now, Haskell has lost that momentum and mindshare to Rust. This is literally true with some core Haskell library maintainers straight-up defecting. There are signs in the Rust community now of slowing momentum, and for similar reasons. There might be a boom-bust cycle for advanced languages with shaky industry support, I don't know.

Haskell leadership needs to change. There needs to be a laser focus on tooling, on browser compilation toolchain, on industry adoption. Avoiding success at all costs was a clever idea for a minute (ok for 3 decades) but post 2010s, there seems to be an active desire to shut off industrial adoption to keep it safe for the tinkerers. (End rant)

ACE is 7. Done more in the social realm and have a lot of friends and close relationships. Prioritized life stability in work over my 20s and early 30s to decent but not overwhelming success by self-teaching coding, but all of it started to unravel and I had to take years off from work to work on trauma, which really decimated my savings, but gave me a new lease on life and I feel like a lot of my traumas are processed now and I can live a real life. I spent most of my 20s remembering maybe a dozen total events from before I was in high school.

I’m currently looking to come back to work after 3 years off which is feeling extremely difficult. Places I apply obviously don’t want to know what I’ve been through, and so I have to fight the assumption that I didn’t have a job because of competence. Nearly went on long term disability but found it so onerous and restrictive I’d have rather died.

Just want to work again at this point so I can have a hope of not retiring poor - I never once expected to live this long.
That's just how F# team does things. There's no "single direction and decision" behind this - much less people work on F#, it's a much more community-driven language.

Personally, I see nothing wrong with it, because what matters most is how practical the language is when applied to solving a particular task, how well it integrates with the rest of the ecosystem, etc. On this front, I think F# does better than Scala or Clojure, or even Kotlin.

What it does need, I think, is better marketing around data science and machine learning domains - F# is a language which very well fits into this use case, and already has small but nice set of libraries like Diffsharp, and is being used by research labs in pharma sector (albeit on top of Fable, which I'm not a fan of).

You also need to remember that many C# features stabilize very late into release cycle. On one hand, posting about development early and actively brings more feedback, which is good, but it also may give a wrong impression, especially if a casual reader misses "this is early/experimental" disclaimers.

Another datapoint to whether one can compete or not

SkyDio, a US startup, entered the market producing drones with object avoidance so advanced that it was far beyond what DJI offered.

Their consumer pricing was quite competitive ~ 1000, the drone was by far the best in the market. Nothing was even remotely as good as a Skydio at high-speed object avoidance!

It seems like the US government became interested and probably funded them in some capacity, and with that, they exited the consumer domain. They only sell drones to governmental agencies now.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skydio

> In March 2021, the company became a unicorn, becoming the first US company that both manufactures and sells its own drones to exceed $1 billion in value

Saying that that no one can compete with DJI is simply not true. You can't compete with these companies because each are probably heavily subsidized.

Drone technology, like chip technology is a national security issue.
In the federal government we already deal with this xenophobic bullshit and your taxes get to pay 4x more for drones that literally break every 10 flights and get sent off for repairs that cost more than 2 brand-new DJI drones.
