Missed your comment.

If you come from proper languages, like C, the borrow checker is not that bad. The problem is that most developers don’t even know when variables go out of scope. Sure, there are more to that in the borrow checker, and I’m far from understanding every single use case. But for fay to day web development, it’s fine.

Java on the other hand is straight up annoying. It’s super bloated, there are 101 ways to do the same thing (recent example from swing: do I do new Broder(), do I use BorderFactory? What’s the difference? When should I use each one?). And it’s extremely wordy ‘Employee foo = new Employee()’
Most pre-deep learning architectures had separate modules like "language model", "knowledge base" and "inference component".

Then LLMs came along, and ML folks got rather too excited that they contain implicit knowledge (which, of course, is required to deal with ambiguity).
Then the new aspiration as "all in one" and "bigger is better", not analyzing what components are needed and how to orchestrate their interplay.

From an engineering (rather than science) point of view, the "end-to-end black box" approach is perhaps misguided, because the result will be a non-transparent system by definition. Individual sub-models should be connected in a way that retains control (e.g. in dialog agents, SRI's Open Agent Architecture was a random example of such "glue" to tie components together, to name but one).

Regarding the science, I do believe language adds to the power of thinking; while (other) animals can of course solve simple problems without language, language permits us to define layers of abstractions (by defining and sharing new concepts) that goes beyond simple, non-linguistic thoughts. Programming languages (created by us humans somewhat in the image of human language) and the language of mathematics are two examples where we push this even further (beyond the definition of new named concepts, to also define new "DSL" syntax) - but all of these could not come into beying without human language: all formal specs and all axioms are ultimately and can only be formulated in human language. So without language, we would likely be stuck at a very simple point of development, individually and collectively.

Who can tell? Musk has gone full Kanye at this point. He still has intelligence, but years of people telling him he's the most talented person on the earth have led to a downward spiral of egomania and lack of self awareness. I don't think anyone can guess his motivations at this point.
My experience with overviews is that they are often subtly or not so subtly inaccurate. LLMs not understanding meaning or intent carries risk of misrepresentation.
There is another place but Americans don't like to hear it. The number of STEM graduates every year in China is equal to the entire STEM working population in the US. They realize the only way out for them is innovation.
Oh, that's pretty clever!
Nah, that's upside down. Consumers buy what they can afford. Wages are low, but companies still want to sell TVs. Advertising to the rescue! And so, as ever, good ol' capitalism pushes quality down while telling the consumer "you've never had it so good!"
Too broad of a question. What do you mean by "recent situation"?
> predicting the future with high accuracy

You can't do this. It's not a matter of IQ, it's a matter of math. Higher order effects are essentially impossible to predict because the level of detail you need to know the initial conditions in is not possible. Even in simple systems where all the rules are known like a billiards table. Furthermore, if you could do this, you would be a billionaire by now just from trading the stock market. This claim alone makes me doubt the rest of your comment.

This is one of those HN buzzword medley comments that has only rant, no substance.

- MS embrace extend extinguish

- Google is making the world complex

- Nth level manager is messed up

None of the above was connected to deliver a clear point, just thrusted into the comment to sound profound.
State orgs (and federal ones) often have length processes before they can do stuff though.

As well as after they do something there is typically a recourse path provided by that org for you to protest their decisions and if that doesn't resolve favorable you can also sue them.

Which differs from the article because the corporation doesn't provide any protest path nor did it have to publish any memo/etc describing how they're going to downsize cleaning for cost-savings. But you can still sue them (but good luck showing damages over an unclean room)!
Agree that only the numbers matter, but only if the numbers are comprehensive and useful.

How often does an autonomous driving system get the driver into a dicey situation, but the driver notices the bad behavior, takes control, and avoids a crash? I don't think we have publicly-available data on that at all.

You admit that you ran into some of these sorts of situations during your trial. Those situations are unacceptable. An autonomous driving system should be safer than a human driver, and should not make mistakes that a human driver would not make.

Despite all the YouTube videos out there of people doing unsafe things with Tesla FSD, I expect that most people that use it are pretty responsible, are paying attention, and are ready to take over if they notice FSD doing something wrong. But if people need to do that, it's not a safe, successful autonomous driving system. Safety means everyone can watch TV, mess around on their phone, or even take a nap, and we still end up with a lower crash rate than with human drivers.

The numbers that are available can't tell us if that would be the case. My belief is that we're absolutely not there.
So NASA is now both competent enough to build a space suit but incompetent enough to be trusted to farm it out to a group of third party specialists, which Prada was but one of? I said they can deliver technology and experience that will help the goals of the suit project, such as knowing how to sew stuff together to be more flexible, while the OP comment I replied to initially was calling them out based solely on the title of the article.

Sure, you are giving points post-argument that seem to make some sort of sense, but your argument reads to me as if you're just arguing for argument sake that there is some possible way that this procurement strategy is wrong because Prada is involved, rather than looking at the whole picture and trying to determine why they would pick Prada at all. My comments go towards many reasons Prada has the "right stuff", but your comments seem to simply be nit-picking my arguments. Do you have any reason to believe Prada being involved is a bad thing, and if so please provide at least a shred of logic other than, "they're not qualified" when you clearly haven't even considered them as a technology leader? Do you have a better suggestion, considering a literal space tech company is the lead on this project, anyways? I feel like the male tech nerds here are just fighting some nebulous idea of Prada, feel free to prove me wrong.
Negligence is the failure to act with the level of care that a reasonable person would exercise in a similar situation; if a reasonable person likely would have done the things that led to that person’s death, they’re not guilty of negligence.

GP said plausible, which does mean likely. It's possible that there's a teapot in orbit around Jupiter, but it's not plausible. And GP is specifically saying that by studying human language output, you could plausibly learn about the world that have birth to the internal models that language is used to exteriorize.

Earlier, open source was about creativity, innovation, curiosity and sharing that with a wider ecosystem as a reactionary movement to closed walls that hinder curious minds to look under the hood how things exactly work.

Lately, it seems like open source is mostly a marketing gimmick of gathering free traction early on without spending tons of money on advertising and then later gradually pulling the rug.

Examples galore. At this point, I'd assume any open source project in past five to eight years taking this trajectory at any point.
As long as initially I can get shipped off this rock with free delivery it doesn't sound so bad.
Consideration is also making space for slower car wanting to merge and Germans do it.
I spent most my time on IRC in JavaScript related channels. When I switched careers I chose to stop talking about JavaScript in my off hours. I just wanted to leave a bunch of nonsense behind and focus on other things.
As I get older I find myself agreeing with RMS more and more.
If you need to detect syntax issues, you can use `re.compile()`. For example, before Python 3.11, you'll get an error:

>>> re.compile(r'\w++')
re.error: multiple repeat at position 3

To use such a compiled pattern, you can call the method on this object instead of `re`. For example:

>>> word = re.compile(r'\w+')
>>> word.findall('hello-there!')
['hello', 'there']
Depends on what OS you plan on for your daily driver. If you're wedded to Windows and the laptop lacks TPM 2.0, you might face security headaches once Win10 gets mothballed, unless you're willing to handle the hacks for shoehorning Win11 onto it.
On top of that, someone needs to create the content. That's very expensive, and there's not a lot of return for it (in the school sector at least; there are undoubtedly specific higher education use cases that are warranted).

Google bought Blogger in 2003; that was the main blogging service for a long time in the US, at least. Google not being able to optimize search results for their own hosted content implies...a lack of overall content available. It used to be a lot better in the earlier days, for ROMs and especially album downloads blogs would pop up all the time in the results. It's just that there are a lot more people online now, and more accompanying spam, and also the fact that Google delists any sort of "download" type site by default - which used to be a substantial subcategory of blogs.

People forget how "tightened up" the web is nowadays, or many just aren't old enough to remember. It wasn't 10 years ago that Fox News would archive full, uncensored ISIS videos on their website - which is kind of insane, when you think about it.

Average age of first phone ownership is really young these days, which is arguably the #1 factor in everything online becoming a closed system for sheep.

On the other hand, no parents want their 11-year-old wandering into videos of hostages being burned alive. Or getting solicited for photos etc. So the internet is kind of dying for the sake of real life.

I'm not a front end developer; so what I think about this might not be relevant to someone who works on front end every day. To me qwik looks like many other JS frameworks as far as the developer experience goes - it mixes up the HTML output into JS functions.

I really like the way that Svelte has a single file that encapsulates the HTML, CSS and JS for a page and it does so as three seperate chunks of the svelte file. This means I just need to look at say blogPost.svelte to see everything I need and I don't need to think about namespaceing or BEM or anything else for the CSS.

Its this way of working with Svelte that I really like and rarely see from other frameworks. I find astro to be good for this too.
Autism is literally medically defined as a series of deficits, latest criteria = DSM-V-TR

https://www.reddit.com/r/aspergirls/comments/th9hku/dsm5tr_n...

The only positive thing said about autism in that entire gigantic write-up is "Special interests may be a source of pleasure and motivation and provide avenues for education and employment later in life"

Why would doctors treat autism as being anything but negative with no positive when Autism is literally defined in that way? Of course, people since Leo Kanner and Hans Aspergers noted Autistics having extraordinary abilities, and people are vaguely aware of this, but doctors hold autistics in worse contempt than the general population mostly because you can't bill insurance to treat a "difference" or get a study grant to research a "difference". So the system they're in forces them to treat autistics as contemptible and even in need of curing. Besides that, psychiatry is after all the study of mental illness and disorders, not of mental differences, so there's a bias just from training.

Legal, UN definition, trying to cure a mental disorder is not eugenics. It is logically the same idea as eugenics though, the UN just didn't outlaw this idea since the mentally disordered were considered sufficiently inferior. Autistics can also be banned from sperm banks.

There's nothing to be done really as a mere not neurotypical internet dweller. The inertia of the status quo is like a train and many people benefit from it. The only real choice you have is to call yourself something like "Not neurotypical" instead of "Autistic".
Sure, that’s bad, and a service dealing with train ticket machine failures not available in English isn’t as bad.
re: usings. These are the only ones that are necessary:

using LanguageExt;
using static LanguageExt.Prelude;

I list all of the others so that people can easily add them to their global-usings. The key is `using static LanguageExt.Prelude`, because static-usings aren't flagged by tooling.

It's a conscious choice not to pander, I don't mind if the C# FP community doesn't include everybody in the C# community, I'm simply presenting an opinionated approach that is close to the 'norms' of FP languages/frameworks rather than trying to fit into the C# conventions. It's intentionally going 'all in' rather than just trying to augment the existing approach with types like Result or LINQ (the extensions). Most of the benefits of pure-FP come from a complete change of approach; I'm saying "leave the previous C# world behind and let's try a different way". Some people really won't like it and that's fine. In a company it needs an advocate that pushes the narrative, if that isn't there, then most won't get past the use of Option, or simple stuff that doesn't move the needle much.

I've been a CTO for 20 years and have mentored many juniors in my time, including in FP. A willing junior with a good mentor will find FP easier than OO once they grok it, because pure FP becomes more intuitive eventually (as it's based on maths, so you get to a point where - if your code compiles - you feel like it must be right, which is very powerful reinforcement for everyone, but especially for juniors).
No it's not scam. I'm curious to understand your perspective in more detail.
Why should Nadella get a hanging for discontinuing Windows? If anything, there should be an award for doing it so insidiously.
No, it's not the same: being able to generate podcasts quickly means that we could get a lot more garbage content. The point here is about quantity.
> No. The ISS is decommissioned in 2030 and Boeing is losing money on the programme. It makes sense for nobody to continue this charade.

There is an important point here that needs to be emphasized. To fix starliner you need to build up personnel familiar with construction, operations, and build/test enough hardware to iterate kinks. This requires investment that Boeing being a publicly traded company cannot do for free (or they will get sued) and NASA is unlikely to pay them to do it. So this is catch 22, they will fix current issues, but given how long it will take, there is a high chance of causing new issues due to loss of essential personnel who would know how to integrate fixes with existing design constraints... so unfortunately charade characterization fits.
Read The Theory of the Leisure Class and understand what the purpose is of "Conspicuous Luxury".

I never really looked into it, but I thought Bitwarden was completely free software based on their marketing. Looks like it's had some weird proprietary bits introduced around 2020, though?
No, that's absolutely not how this works. Confounding factors are things that make your data not tell you what you are actually trying to understand. You can't just hand-wave that away, sorry.

Consider: what I expect is actually true based on the data is that Tesla FSD is as safe or safer than the average human driver, but only if the driver is paying attention and is ready to take over in case FSD does something unsafe, even if FSD doesn't warn the driver it needs to disengage.

That's not an autonomous driving system. Which is potentially fine, but the value prop of that system is low to me: I have to pay just as much attention as if I were driving manually, with the added problem that my attention is going to start to wander because the car is doing most of the work, and the longer the car successfully does most of the work, the more I'm going to unconsciously believe I can allow my attention to slip.

I do like current common ADAS features because they hit a good sweet spot: I still need to actively hold onto the wheel and handle initiating lane changes, turns, stopping and starting at traffic lights and stop signs, etc. I look at the ADAS as a sort of "backup" to my own driving, and not as what's primarily in control of the car. In contrast, Tesla FSD wants to be primarily in control of the car, but it's not trustworthy enough to do that without constant supervision.

Wait a minute...

Caveman like?

That seems way over the top.

Essentially making the computing experience part of us is super compelling. I get that.

But it all remains in very early, highly speculative days.

As for valuable space, whose systems do you really trust? The ones running in my home are known and not a worry, or untrusted and managed appropriately.

For it to work like you hint at, we need either:

Massive, central systems that people essentially rent and are forced to trust

, or

Small ones so power efficient they can be implanted and perform in meaningful ways using minimal hardware, ideally communicating along internal channels somehow.

Even with those, sharing is a big deal, potentially exposing a now very dangerous and highly personal resource to others.

Meanwhile, the cavemen sent people to the moon on far less overall computing than we often carry in our pockets these days.
Thanks! An archive shouldn't be too hard to implement.

Norms change only due to availability of technology.
Claiming LLMs are a massive boost for coding productivity is becoming a red flag that the claimant has a tenuous grasp on the skills necessary. Yeah if you have to look up everything all the time and you can't tell the AI slop isn't very good, you can put out code quite fast.
To what end is the government obligated to "notice" Starship? It's not enough that its FAA works with SpaceX to get launches certified (and coordinate air/sea restrictions, etc.), its NASA has already agreed to fund part of Starship's development (and be its first customer with a historic crewed mission) / routinely flies Falcon missions like Europa Clipper this week, and its DOD is a huge customer? I see no reason for a government agency to do media for an event outside one of their missions.

Edit: Plus, here is NASA Administrator Bill Nelson publicly congratulating SpaceX after the catch anyway: https://x.com/SenBillNelson/status/1845461454977196294
Following that train of thought back one can go all the way to the Roman Empire which used slaves as proto machines as you call them.

>As a funny personal note: one of my ancestors actually had the last name (Polish budzik) translated as “alarm clock,” which I assume means they had a similar sort of job as knocker uppers. I couldn’t find any equivalent last names in English though.

Surnames are funny, I always thought we had a cool one, but apparently it just means someone that lives next to a hedge.
Voltage dividers are still commonly used in MCU-laden designs, as are RC timing circuits.

(The power supply sitting next to that MCU has a divider-based feedback loop, usually.)

These possibly can't be learned from a wiki, but they can absolutely be learned from the Art of Electronics for a low price.

Yeah my wife briefly worked with a team on Bing, she said her team was basically operating like horror stories she’d been told about outsourcing sweatshops, complete with verbal abuse from managers and general disrespect from developers for a woman in a management/leadership role.

The harsh divide between the world the body inhabits and what is presented comes with endless problems.

Yep, MS has to throw a bone to the h/w manufacturers every so often. That was probably a factor in MS backpedalling on Win10 being the 'last version of Windows ever' (that, and Apple advancing macOS beyond major version 10).
