I dont accept the "im just a worker and powerless." Employees have more agency than any customer and also the execs are themselves just employees working a job. If it's not right for them to meekly acquiesce then we should hold the whole enterprise to the same standard.
The answer to every problem cited is simply pay. When there’s unlimited DoD budget for Palantir or Anduril contracts compared to barely livable wage for enlisted personnel, it’s a no-brainer why people go work for defense contractors instead.

Enlisted or Officer, you’ll not break $200k annual earnings until at least 20 years of experience and Lieutenant General or higher rank.

NSA after a decade of experience you may approach 200k.

Anduril starts entry-level at $200k.
This is a very interesting thought. I never thought of mind doing anything like that in wake state. I know I will now be thinking about this idea every time I recall those dreams.
This hits close to home for me. Recently I’ve been reflecting on this based on a similar situation.

(It’s not worked and still new.) I’m trying to force myself to find new hobbies and as a result interact with people while sober. I’ll report back, good luck to you!
From my own experience trying to build an intelligent digital twin startup based on the breakthrough in LLM's, I agree with LeCunn that LLMs are actually quite far from demonstrating the intelligence of house cats, and I myself likely jumped the gun by trying to emulate intelligent humans with the current stage of AI.

His AI predictions remind me of Prof. Rodney Brooks (MIT, Roomba) and his similarly cautious timelines for AI development. Brooks has a very strong track record over decades of being pretty accurate with his timelines.
This seems like a misreading - there's also no real path to P-NP or to disentangling the true chemical origins of life. OP didn't say it was impossible. The problem is we don't know very much about intelligence in animals generally, and even less about intelligence in humans. In particular, we know far less about intelligence than we do computational complexity or early forms of life.
>What would be the benefit...

It is interesting that you ignore the benefits the OP describes and instead present a vague and fearful characterization of the costs. Your reaction lies at the heart of cargo-culting, the maintenance of previous decisions out of sheer dread. One can do a cost-benefit analysis and decide what to do, or you can let your emotions decide. I suggest that the world is better off with the former approach. To wit, the OP notes for benefits " The extra CR serves no useful purpose. It is just a needless complication, a vexation to programmers, and a waste of bandwidth." and a mitigation of the costs "You need to search really, really hard to find a device or application that actually interprets U+000a as a true linefeed." You ignore both the benefits assertion and cost mitigating assertion entirely, which is strong evidence for your emotionality.

I don't drink either and theoretically, I also don't care what other people consume - but in reality I would love to have more sober (dancing) parties, with people who lerned to have fun and can dance, without needing to shoot themself up before.

As drunk people on the dancefloor are quite annoying and even dangerous.

("Ecstatic dance" is a new trend that captures this clear, but wild party sentiment, that I love)

FYI, Sendmail accepts LF without CR, but Exchange doesn't.
yo the website looks awesome and I am a huge fan of the idea myself. however what advantages does it provide compared to apps like Duolingo?
Every continuum has arbitrary points, a la “when is a pile a heap”.

In this case it becomes insensible somewhere between selecting a few packages which are genuine performance bottlenecks for your workloads or need specific compiler flags for necessary features, and spec’ing out hardware to fit a $5,000+ 192-core CPU so you can feel good about your kernel being able to take advantage of AVX512 for your Linux desktop box.
They added a checkbox to the wordpress.org login page https://login.wordpress.org/ stating "I am not affiliated with WP Engine in any way, financially or otherwise.", you can't login to the site without checking it.
You are both right. Dealing with infinities!
If your question is why AOO does not use any of the (many) existing audio network protocols:

We wanted a protocol that

1. is simple to understand and implement

2. supports all the required features (as outlined in https://aoo.iem.sh/overview/)

If you know of any existing protocol that could achieve that I would be honestly curious to know!
It would be a real time OS running it for sure. Which one I don't know.
No. My experience is that English is a great language for hiding ignorance behind technobabble and buzzwords. You claim that "conceptual innovation can’t possibly stem from conceptual confusion." It sounds reasonable, but honestly, wtf does it mean? :) My experience is that bilingualism is advantageous because it forces you to think and reason in multiple languages. Simply put, if you can explain something in multiple languages then you probably know that subject better than someone who can only explain it in one language.
How did the sites auto-update to have this plug-in removed/replaced? Are your sites set up to just automatically take push updates from WordPress central command or something and auto-modify themselves?!
I think I can offer most reasonable compromise here. Decide upon on new UTF-8 code point. Have the use mandated and ignore and ban all end-points that do not use this code-point instead of CRLF or just LF alone.
This is something I've heard in person, but never online. Same for giving up being a vegetarian.
I don't see how Mullenweg could escape lawsuits on this one.
I didn't either, may I recommend retrying? There has been enormous improvement, so I did stick the second time
The rhetoric around teetotaling always bothered me. Life is extremely difficult and painful and there are times when drinking gets people through things. So I feel a little mistrustful of people who are proud of not drinking. If someone's lived such a charmed life that they can't understand why sometimes people need to drink, then can they really relate to regular people?

I hope that makes sense. I don't mean that I think there's something wrong with not drinking exactly, it's just that there's a certain segment of non-drinkers that seem like they are coming from a position of not understanding what most people have to go through.
>> I'm hoping this is satire. Why intentionally introduce potential bugs for the sake of making a point?

It's not satire and it's not just trying to make a point. It's trying to make things simpler. As he says, a lot of software will accept input without the CR already, even if it's supposed to be there. But we should change the standard over time so people in 2050 can stop writing code that's more complicated (by needing to eat CR) or inserts extra characters. And never mind the 2050 part, just do it today.
Maybe? What about rhesus monkeys?

Note that ketosis != fasting; ketosis == low carb, which can also be induced without fasting (but only by eating a low (near zero) carb diet). So are you sure you're not conflating 2 dimensions (how much we eat, vs what we eat)?

Funny enough, one of the reasons I respect Peter Attia, is that he's changed his mind several times, after new information came to light (i.e. he had an initial assumption based on weak evidence, then changed his opinion after he found stronger evidence). This is quite rare in general, an even rarer among the "influencers" (a.k.a. professional grifters).

The first time Peter Attia had to change his mind, is when his Nutrition Science Initiative (NuSI) collapsed. Long story short, his hypothesis was that carbs (or rather, the insulin response) make people obese, and that low carb diets drastically improve health. NuSi funded proper experiments to test this, i.e. they provided calorie-matched low-carb and non-low-carb diets. They failed to confirm the hypothesis.

Yes, good for him if the wholly speculative scenario I described is true. What's going on with Matt and WordPress will have zero impact on other founders.

I found it curious how Wikipedia adapted middle school English as a whole new language. The had a feature (languages) but used it to rewrite articles in a different style.

Yup. 95% pay. 5% antiquated culture.

There are some aspects of the military culture that are a bit anachronistic, but it’s minor compared to the pay and the career progression problems the military creates. It forces an up and out system where you can’t continue doing what you’re good at for increasing amounts of pay.

His biography doesn't mention any others, and did go on about how they barely had an office.

> and in any case the vast majority of people aren’t in a position to have their parents invest $28 000 (nearly $60 000 today) in an uncertain business venture.

Sorry, $28,000 is not restricted to wealthy investors. You can't buy much of a business for $28,000. Business ventures are always uncertain. The median house in 1995 was $140,000. The median salary then was $27,845.

The idea that $28,000 was some stratospheric investment in 1995 is simply not true.
Other than select software being pissy about it, not much. Just like how there's nothing wrong with CRLF, except for select software being pissy about that too.

1. Palantir is a data store, and overstates it's "defense" credentials. A major defense customer they keep mentioning churned years ago. If Palantir is a cybersecurity company, then so is Salesforce.

2. Enlistees are bucketed based on rank and years within the service. It is almost impossible to make a case for Cyber Enlistees to get a separate payscale from other Enlistees because other enlistees can and do get pissed.

A mix of public-private offensive security partnerships plus a strong reserves component for cybersecurity related roles is the best solution - this is what Israel does.

Finally, CyberCom is a joint command, not a branch, so they are limited in comparison to what individual branches can do.
C# basically forces "e" to be the name of EventArgs in any event handler. You can change it, but it will always default to "e".
I don’t think anyone wants to lynch him in the sense of harming him for the sake of it, or even retributive justice.

People want him removed from Wordpress leadership to protect Wordpress. The harm to him is really orthogonal to the greater goal of not destroying the software that runs 40% of the internet or whatever, triggering man-centuries of pointless labor to replace it across all those installs.

Given the options of letting Matt tear the ecosystem apart or letting the ecosystem tear Matt apart (figuratively, not literally), the ecosystem should win. It sucks for Matt, but wasting cumulative lifetimes of human effort to migrate all these installs is stupid and not worth saving one man’s ego over.

I might be off-base here, but I get the sense that OP's dysphoria/ennui/ambivalence/Weltschmerz is less about what they're doing as an occupation and more other things that need to be explored more deeply. 27 can be a difficult age with many conflicting/confusing feelings and thoughts, and sorting some of those out might be the key. Again, could be way off-base here — impossible to know from a single short post like this.
> Movies wouldn't feature it prominently. Pop music would abandon the ceaseless pursuit of alcohol in all its songs.

I doubt that would go away simply because alcohol marketing ceased. Plenty of references to illegal drugs despite no marketing campaign.
>> instead it focuses on making people change their understanding of LF in to NL which is as unnecessary complication that will cause inevitable bikeshedding around this idea.

Not really. In order to ignore CR you need to treat LF as NL.
I thought this was going to be a bit of dry humor before I followed the link. It’s actually serious, and fairly informative (albeit a bit scary).

The first place I worked had a soft-but-hard rule (enforced by ridicule) that single-letter variable names not be used. Loop counters like i, j, and k were frowned upon. However, counters like ii, jj, and kk were fine for matrix operations, xx and yy for image loops, etc.

There were a couple of key guidelines to follow:

1. If it can have more meaning than sample, pixel, or matrix position, give it more meaning, but two characters repeated is fine for loop counters (again, with meaning).

2. Whatever you use should be quickly findable with text search tools of the era (the late ‘90’s).

Someone shouldn’t have to use source inspection assistive coding tools to parse the code you write. When someone else (or you, in a few months) comes upon this code and needs to understand it, they should be able to use find to do it.
It would depend on your definition of evil. For some people that definition is very opaque and spiritual.

For others its pretty objective, and comes down to whether the use is predicated on the corporate entity being a person, or the entity committing an act.

A fairly common definition of evil is any act that doesn't result in the beneficial and long-term growth of self and others, and as an adjective with regards to people who show a willful blindness towards the consequences of their evil acts (often occurring as a result of many self-violations).

I don't see how what you say would solve or narrow the solution space here given those definitions as they are outcome based.

There are many things with regards to know-how and knowledge that involve knowing both what to do, and what not to do, and you can only really tell if it resulted in destruction or loss after the fact.

Algorithmically to strictly not be evil is to only provide harmless information; but that in itself also leads to maladaptation and development issues which themselves are outcomes where you are evil.

Obeying such a directive would require direct human action on almost everything, and providing just enough information to meet that narrow sliver of beneficial growth but even then you can still mistakenly incur a debt leading you towards the side of the scale of being evil (since we are not omnipotent). All in-actions are themselves actions as well.
Thinking about it. Using CR alone in protocols actually make infinitely more sense. As that would allow use of LF in records. Which would make many use cases much simpler.

Just think about text protocols like HTTP, how much easier something like cookies would be to parse if you had CR as terminating character. And then each record separated by LF.
so so so so so so so so so much this. I have tried to make prolog a part of various systems on and off for two decades and the ergonomics and basic practical shit like this is why it never works.

the answer is always: do a lot of manual stuff that the language should do for you. I can, but I can't get a team to.
Palantir has been overstating its benefits for decades at this point. Slick UI can’t hide the almost minimal usefulness you get out of it (and even that minor utility requires an army of support engineers anyways)
This week I actually did a 48 hour fast and then two 24 hour fasts. I ate between all of them, and a lot before. I personally find that hunger comes in waves. If you wait out the first wave, it doesn't continue to build. It will leave and then return, like someone interested in you at a bar.

It makes me think that our 3 meals a day culture responds to those initial waves of hunger, and likely leaves of eating more than we need to. Would make sense that there's an overall toll from that on lifespan.
Possible yes but still, this is a prototype with new fin configuration, materials and lots of detail to be understood from inspecting it in detail. An inspection would be very useful.

At the same time, this is SpaceX and they have a few others ready to launch already. Perhaps they indeed can keep it somewhat coarse and wait for detailed inspection until one of them makes it right back to solid ground?
No, we cannot already create artificial lifeforms, and the reason we don’t create self-replicating systems is because we don’t know how (unless you mean something like modifying viruses, but that’s not really us doing the hard part).

It would be nice to think that a scientist in command of self-replicating artificial life technology will have the restraint to hold back on deploying it at scale. But if someone comes along and says “hey I made an artificial bacterium that can eat all the CO2 in the atmosphere, want me to replicate it globally?”, someone is going to push the button.
Uh yeah, but we have no evidence for any of them (aside from quantum effects, which are "engineerable" to the extent they exist in brains anyway).

One of the annoying things is that the most convenient way to encode a short machine code subroutine was in a BASIC string. But BASIC strings are not loaded in a predictable location in RAM, so any code intended to be encoded in a BASIC string has to be relocatable (using only relative branches/jumps). That's not an issue for a simple XMODEM checksum calculation, of course.

It sounds terrifying to me to connect drinking to a coping mechanism at all.
The two things should be unrelated. I would reach out to a doctor and ask for a serious drug if life is challenging enough that I need a medical coping mechanism (and this is totally fine).
Connecting something used for pleasure and socialization suddenly with a coping mechanism sounds like a recipe for a disaster.

Same with sugar, to be clear.
Religion and science in general are not incompatiable. Immutible religions and mutable scienece are incompatible though. God didn't create the world in 7 days. As a theory this is disprovable.

Then don't use Prolog. It's not mandatory.

For the record I never have problems like that and I'm sure I'm not special. Well, not in that way. This all comes under the heading of "learn what works". You have to do that with any language.

Edit: as a slightly less flippant answer (sorry) Prolog doesn't "do a lot of manual stuff that the language should do for you" because the Prolog community doesn't think the language should do those things for you and I agree. Take for instance inheritance and composition, like in object orientation. There's no reason Prolog should do that for you. If it did, it would shoehorn you into a certain programming paradigm that can feel like a straightjacket when you don't need it, but you absolutely need to use it because that's what the "language does for you". Prolog instead gives you the tools to do all the things you need, when you need them. It's more work, for sure, but it's also more freedom. I spent most of my career in the industry working with very rigidly OOP languages and that's one reason why I escaped into academia, where I can program in Prolog (see what I did there?) all day without having to declare a class property if I don't want to. And if I really wanted to, I could go all the way and write something like Logtalk:

https://logtalk.org/

Another example of something that Prolog doesn't do for you, and that you don't always need, but can always do yourself if you need it, is typing; like I point out in the sibling comment. Why should Prolog do that for you? Are we going to have the whole argument about strongly typed vs. weakly typed languages all over again? I think not. If you want types in Prolog, you can roll your own. Now try to write, say, C# code without types, when you really don't need the bother.

The xkcd example is a great reminder of the weirdness of legal proceedings.
