"1. An ad for a countertop food composting machine. I have no interest in buying such a machine, but I hadn't even known they existed and that was interesting enough to get me to go the seller's site for more information."

Well, not knowing they existed is perhaps the preferable state. Such products turn out to be borderline scams. I call them borderline because whether they are completely useless is somewhat debatable, but certainly they do not just ingest food, hum for some period of time, and emit compost, despite the well-produced videos to the contrary. You can find a number of YouTube videos not selling them analyzing their performance.
Exactly: AM doesn't require a network of satellites and terrestrial repeaters to be maintained just to provide some emergency public-service info with lousy audio quality. AM does this just fine, for very little cost on both sides (transmitter and receiver).

JavaScript on the server is better than JavaScript in my browser because at least it doesn’t waste my battery.

Actually it would sort of be nice if these frameworks could be coded such that if I have JavaScript shut off, it just runs the code elsewhere and sends me the site.

Or better yet, just write HTML and CSS and be done with it. But that’s too hopeful.

There are certainly reasons to use JS on the server but efficiency is definitely not a big one. Even less when using React which is probably the slowest of the modern framework/libs doing SSR.

Yep, same. The process is obtuse, maybe intentionally to weed out bots and scammers too stupid to read instructions. But if you are legit and know what you are doing it was fairly straightforward, just pretty slow to hear back.

sounds more like this happened because the instructors failed to tell the students not to just ChatGPT all the answers, OR the students didn't listen.

this is somewhat analogous to learning arithmetic but just using a calculator to get the answer. but coding is more complicated at least in terms of the sheer number of concepts.

yet we dont ban calculators from the classroom. we just tell students to use them mindfully. the same should apply to LLMs.

i wish when I was learning coding I had LLMs. but you do need to have the desire to understand how something really works. and also the pain of debugging something trivial for hours does help retention :).

Yeah I agree with this. Mitigating some production issue should not require a deep dive engineering effort, it should be routine. I just worry that LLM-assistance seems like it's going to turbocharge technical debt accrual and that freaks me out--the prospect of defaulting on technical debt is nightmare fuel.

One of the most irritatingly shallow criticism of React has always been "ooh you're mixing html and control in the same file, it's PHP all over again!" The criticism is not particularly interesting or valid, given the differences between the two.

Back when I first learned PHP I recall the horror of seeing buckets of tutorials that involved writing database queries directly in the middle of templating HTML, but the materials appear to have gotten better from a brief glance (with W3schools, as always, teaching worst practices).
FWIW, had a pleasantly surprising experience with this podcast thing. I tried it out on a few little blogposts I wrote and I was like, hmm cool. Showed my 8 year old son how it was referencing things I wrote.

On their own they would. We just don't see it very much because of external forces managing it - like teachers not allowing students to use them early in school.

I suspect that’s true. I never blindingly copy LLM generated code (that would be recklessly stupid), but I often only quick skim rust code generated this way, just to make sure the general task it is solving is what I asked for. If there is an unhandled edge case or or memory handling bug, rust will catch it.
That was a long way of saying "none".

Massive food surplus is a feature of efficient market economies. By rejecting it on ideological grounds, it should come as no surprise that countries like Afghanistan or North Korea end up with hunger.

Their development into modern countries would free others from the burden of having to provide food and other aid to their starving citizens.
Could you elaborate? I have many years experience running a gas station. For five daily’s employees, handlung cash is about 4 hours labor a day. This is counting the till prior and after shift, validating voids and receipts, handling checks, cashiers checks, and bagging and dropping the cash. With cash there is always slippage, and it is never in the ledgers favor. So cash increases labor costs by 10% and incurs about 1% direct loss a day, prior to bank fees. Where as credit cards end up being about a 2.5% overhead.

It's uncharitable of you to consider my opinion as being contrarian versus being genuine preference.

Alternatively you could have chosen to be curious about my response that deviates from your understanding.

I've used Windows 97 onwards, macOS around Mavericks, and various desktop Linux distros from around 2013.

I would have told you that I like Windows 11 (LTSC) because it is much more visually pleasing than 7/8/10. The OS works reliably and I overall enjoy using it much more than the Linux distros I tried out before the LTSC build was made available.

I like macOS Sequoia (and iOS 18) because Siri has gotten substantially better and I'm excited about Apple Intelligence. iOS 18 adds RCS which has been great and I actually do like Photos quite a bit, but I only moved to iCloud Photos while I was on the beta, so I can't compare to the old Photos app.

A lot of commenters are really getting hung up on the author's use of 'lazy'.

When she says lazy, she just means that she'd like a web framework that takes care of the most common and obvious schleps that are needed to create a web framework, like routing and so on. Once you get those schleps out of the way, there's still tons of work that needs to be done. Nothing lazy about that.

The broadcast AM band is 1.6MHz wide. Broadcast FM stations are spaced at 200KHz intervals, of which about 150KHz is used for modulation and the remaining ~50KHz is used for guard bands.

Thus, current standards, the entirety of the broadcast AM spectrum can support no more than 8 concurrent FM broadcasts in a region.

And maybe that "works," but it certainly doesn't leave much room for competing markets.

When multiple stations with wide propagation all use a singular frequency, they have to be geographically spaced quite far apart: The hypothetical Toronto station centered at 1330KHz station would step on the Detroit station at the same frequency, which would step on the Chicago and Cincinnati stations.

And, sure: One could give one channel to each market to reduce this co-channel interference, but then there's not enough density for any meaningful competition.

(And our band of capitalism requires competition in order to even begin to work.)

The majority of emergency radio station in the US happen to be AM stations. This is a fact.

Sure, you could phase out AM and do all your emergency broadcasts on FM. We haven’t done that. Do that first.

Here is more info about EAS:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_Alert_System

There are 77 PEPs, which are commercial radio stations that double as emergency broadcast, as primary interfaces to FEMA. They are a mixture of AM and FM. You want to get rid of the AM requirement? Fine. Just switch all the broadcasts to FM first.
From memory, and it's been a few years, Sierra games had both bugs and severe plot-related consequences.

If it was about paying an examiner to dig up prior art, they could just do that privately. Crowdsourcing like this is typically much cheaper, but putting money aside, many people would be happy to help simply out of principal.

If you would only consider doing this as a form of employment, so be it, but many others are happy to do this just to try and make the world a better place for us all.

> Don’t get confused between using smaller keywords and actually understanding the problem at hand.

Absolutely. I'm not arguing for maximal terseness and spent a lot of words attempting to say otherwise. (IMHO, we're both reflexively reacting to our parent comments a bit).

What I am wanting to point out is that form affects function and how we think about and use our languages. This in turn shapes our ecosystems and cultures, which influence our heuristics for keeping a pulse on project health and the surrounding support structures. Which all in turn reflect back to affect the forms we like and produce!

The mechanics of middle-sized and large businesses naturally incentivize bloat and churn to some degree, not because we necessarily want those things, but because coordination and communication are large information bottlenecks, a la Mel Conway's observations [0]. When our heads are filled with syntax, tooling, best practices, and absolute ideas about what correct code looks like, we make it that much harder to fill our heads with direct problem-domain concerns.

While senior engineers can and often do successfully wade through all that, it's a long grind, and anything that empowers team members to get there faster seems like an obvious win.

I wish that we as a community could better recognize that our values like "semantics over syntax" or "code review is necessary" or "readability is good" implicitly invoke a large set of contingencies in order to become heuristics that serve well.

Tools that violate our common sense and aesthetic values present an opportunity to sanity check those sentiments and potentially sharpen our understanding of them. In my experience, APL and probably K are really excellent at that, offering a new way of thinking that highlights clear disfunctionalities within our current "mainstream" languages and cultures.

If true, isn't that something we obviously want to eagerly investigate?

So, to bring it back, I think the statement that "AST node count is a better" embodies exactly the kind of values and mindset that make it harder for us to grow. What do we think about readable, maintainable, highly terse code? Does this K sample exemplify that? Why are K and APL successfully (if quietly) running significant portions of our economy? What structural, organizational, and cultural lessons do they embody that we can learn from?
