What an obnoxious clickbait title. Yes, anyone can create an AI chatbot that simulates you. That isn't turning you into anything; you remain yourself. But more to the point, are they really writing an entire article about such a banality? The URL slug implies that they think there's some kind of consent issue here. I can't fathom why. It's not any different from people spending their free time hypothesizing about what you might say in a given situation. In fact, it's pretty much exactly that, just with a computer program involved. Why would anyone expect to be able to prevent others from doing it?

Me too, but I actually think the complaint is totally valid. I mean, somebody does use it, and it isn't some horribly obscure feature, it's built into most terminals, it's pretty much standard Linux functionality at this point, and old REPL does support it, so when you introduce new default REPL, but then say "uh, no, we don't use that shit you use, so fuck off and use the old REPL, loser" it's not very nice. (And even if they didn't outright call him a loser in that thread, it's still not very nice.)

In short, the fact you, me and these guys don't understand why anybody used vi-mode doesn't mean shit. It came before us, apparently still exists, and well may outlive your neovim and PyREPL. Prioritizing other stuff is one thing, dismissing and closing the issue because "nobody (i.e., me) needs that shit" is another.
The quote is from a Crikey reporter, I (an Australian) wouldn't agree that the US health system is classic free market .. but it appears to have more regulatory capture by vested commercial non government profit orientated interests than by social policy best outcome for the masses civil authorities.

( Describing various systems in various countries as either communist of free market capitalist is pretty simplistic, it's not much as a linear spectrum either )

I'd also argue that the foundation for a high life expectancy doesn't start with good health care for seniors .. unless the metric is "life support via artificial means" .. life expectancy is grounded in healthy living and excerise from an early age well maintained with good health programs.

> There is absolutely no way I'd buy a phone as gigantic as a Max.

It's not gigantic for everyone to be fair. I'm 6′1″ with largish hands I suppose and the Max is a single hand device for me. Small devices look comical in my hands. I was one of those very well served by Apple starting to make larger devices, and it's when I shifted over from Android full time to iOS devices. (I was very fond of the early generation Galaxy Note devices prior to that.)

> Honestly not sure how people walk around with those things.

The same way as I do anything of that size. It goes in my pocket or i'm holding it?

I get where you are coming from those because my partner has a much smaller 13 line device and we've done some basic testing and like you, shifting to a Max sized device...well, its just not very likely. My phone looks absolutely jumbo once you put it in her teeny hands.
Maybe, however History shows that is isn't always done.

Not sure if you are trying to prove my point or not. Indeed businesses are complex. With every wave there are a large number of copycats and business with no moats. Many factors go into who win and who does not. Unlike blockchain and whatever you are trying to prove. There is already value being proven with the current wave in AI. Overvalued in the near term but undervalued long term.

Not sure anyone was trying to say no code apps would win.

We can already see that it’s possible to create comparable models in the LLM space. You could just as easily run your business off OpenAI models through azure. You have a hard sell trying to convince that azure is going to steal your data and roll a product of their own. Might as well tell us aws is stealing your web app.
This is such a powerful frame of mind. Bugs, software architecture, tooling choices, etc. all happen within organizational, social, political, and market machinery. A bug isn't just a technical failure, but a potential issue with the meta-structures in which the software is embedded.

Code review is one example of addressing the engineering process, but I also find it very helpful to consider business and political processes as well. Granted, NASA's concerns are very different than that of most companies, but as engineers and consultants, we have leeway to choose where and how to address bugs, beyond just the technical and immediate dev habits.

Soft skills matter hard.
I just wrapped up a project where I had to do a bunch of work with audio, which I’ve never done before, and I wouldn’t say 100X but I did at night over a handful of weeks what would’ve taken me months to teach myself and some of it I probably never would have figured out. Like I could prototype on an easy library and go “rewrite it with librosa instead” or “nah I don’t really like this let’s just do such and such with ffmpeg that would work and probably be faster, right?” or “find a way to do this funky thing with torchaudio and a bunch of file I/O in memory” and then be like “how much money would I save on GCP egress if I did such and such?” It’s not always right on the first try but omg does it save a shitload of time and energy.
> Wasted? For the first time since the Industrial Revolution we have found a new cheapest near infinitely scalable energy source: renewables.

For the _second_ time. The first time was with the nuclear power. Keep forgetting that, yes?

> Nuclear power was the last attempt, it never delivered on the promises.

France has an 8 _times_ less carbon-intensive grid than Germany. RIGHT NOW. Keep forgetting that, yes? They can go to carbon-neutral with fairly minimal changes.

> I love how you say that it would be “available now” when Flamaville 3 started at the same time currently is 6x over budget and 12 year late on a 5 year planned construction timeline.

Russia is finishing the Bangladesh nuclear power plant. On time and within budget. 2 reactors completely built within 10 years. If Russia can do that, other countries can certainly replicate that.

> Germany would have had massive cumulative emissions when still waiting for nuclear power to come online.

Germany is right now already _locked_ into future emissions for more than 20 years. Even freaking _coal_ (!) is not being phased out until 2038: https://www.cleanenergywire.org/news/german-government-says-...

> And then in the next sentence you turn around denigrating even a single percentage of fossil fuels as we transition into a renewable grid, before said nuclear would come online.

Again, zero reflection from your side. Zero contrition, zero knowledge, and endless excuses.

France is literally the next door. Their carbon intensity for energy production is just 12% of Germany's. Right now. Germany in the best possible case won't be able to match that until 2040-s. In reality, it won't happen unless something magical occurs.
For myself, I just make a directory `workflows` and put all my scripts in it, and organise related scripts into subdirectories, so that I can use tree and filesystem tools to check what subcommands are available.
I mean yeah, of course I know how people hold and walk around with these devices. I was being silly.

Everything you said about large hands rings true for small hands and the mini form factor, but instead of just looking silly it's a hinderance.

We need both form factors. What I don't think we need is the weird middle size (current regular iPhone size), but I'm sure that's probably the one most people actually want if they could only pick one.
Good to hear.

It’s short enough to force people to either automate cert renewal or at least have a plan for doing it manually.

The existential threat is stuff like appliances or servers that haven’t had a cert rotation in 6 years and now no one remembers the password or whatever. Now people will have to log in every 45 days, so that’s much less likely.

I’m not really sure it is Apples or the CAs place to require that, but I think that’s the logic.
> digital historic preservation

When I hear "digital" I don't exactly associate long-term preservation with it. Do you also have a strategy for the "digital preservation" part? Websites don't live long. Storage media don't last long either.

Should such a program be made together with a partner that has a strategy for long-term (outlook of centuries) storage of digital content? Because otherwise I don't see the "preservation" aspect. The monuments will likely survive all the digitized data created from them, easily.

It's not just the data, but also ways to use it. Imagine this was done twenty years ago and it was all saved as Adobe Flash media.

I think preserving the digital media plus ensure that it will still be usable (hardware and digital format) is a monumental effort, in comparison creating the digital representation is not the hard part.
Most radiation-induced solid cancers develop after 10+ years, therefore studying the 2008-2015 period isn't very pertinent.

It's more like the other way around. Veteran web devs are stockholm-syndromed into thinking the web should always work how it used to work, they tend to think about the web as some sort of sacred internet document. Most devs these days view it as just another medium for apps, and if you look at the web from the app developer point of view, this is completely normal. Is it broken in many ways, absolutely? But not because it's not now the web used to work, as it was also broken/insufficient for modern needs.

There is an entire other discussion about how to keep the web as "information superhighway" (as opposed to an app medium) and accessible. I am sympathetic to that cause, but I think we should create new web standards for that. As it stands, the html/css/js trio is doing too many things and sucks at all of them.
Lots of reasons, but in Australia it's pretty simple: because nuclear power is prohibited by law.

It features a plug-and-play widget that easily integrates into your sites, enabling you to gather insights and improve your product based on user feedback. We've recently updated our landing page and fixed a few bugs, making it easier than ever to get started.

Check it out at feedbhack.com and let me know what you think! Looking forward to your feedback!
Pretty sure it was, my whole 1920s neighborhood was built that way. The downstairs is glorious and with the shade trees barely needs AC for a few days in August.

Upstairs is hot. But… the house was built with a finished downstairs and diy upstairs. The diy job wasn’t as good from a ventilation perspective.
Upvoted. I have a love/hate relationship with Mathematica, but it is so far ahead of its time in a lot of ways. It's like Jupyter Notebooks dialed up by 100 and fully integrated with everything from linear algebra to calculus to graphics to graph theory to plotting to optimization and machine learning so on. I just find the functional like language (a term rewriting system) to be hard to grasp at times and it being a commercial product means it will eventually lose out in some ways.

It doesn't have to be nuclear though, M.A.D. still stands if Russia and China start to share their nukes, which isn't as implausible in the future.

Absolutely not.

Apple is more about luxury branding than premium offering. I don't think OpenAI is trying to position its services as projecting wealth or style.

Facebook's hardware designs don't really help them differentiate since they don't run a public cloud. If they release the open source hardware and successfully drum up interest, then it will be cheaper for them to procure hardware.

Releasing Llama guards against Google AI dominance. Google and Facebook are longtime competitors and Google controls the OS on most phones Facebook needs to run its ads on.

Open sourcing AI hardware guards against a potentially dominant Nvidia, especially if they team up with one of the cloud companies.

I'm sure they're also worried about OpenAI, but at this point it doesn't look like OpenAI is on Facebook's turf.
That again underestimates the challenges in that undertaking. After all these costs are still drops on the bucket. Why distract yourself from your business to go and build chips.

> Could the SQLite's WASM be built with this in mind cutting down on code that is not used?

The pending 3.47 release has some build-side tweaks which enable a user to strip it down to "just the basics," but we've not yet been able to get it smaller than about 25-30% less than it otherwise is:

cd ext/wasm
make barebones=1 ; # requires GNU Make and the Emscripten SDK

Doing that requires building it yourself - there are no plans to publish deliverables built that way.

The build process also supports including one's own C code, which could hypothetically be used to embed an application and the wasm part of the library (as distinct from the JS part) into a single wasm file. Its primary intended usage is to add SQLite extensions which are not part of the standard amalgamation build.

> Or is there a way to prune it having the used API surface?

Not with the provided JS pieces. Those have to expose essentially the whole C library, so they will not be pruned from the wasm file.

However, you could provide your own JS bindings which only use a small subset of the API, and Emscripten is supposedly pretty good about stripping out C-side code which neither explicitly exported nor referenced anywhere. You'd be on your own - that's not something we'll integrate into the canonical build process - but we could provide high-level support, via the project's forum, for folks taking that route.

> Did they really assume that they were going to be able to _restandardize_ SQL?

The core issue was not the SQL, but the underlying storage engine.

Microsoft's office doc formats aside, standards bodies, as a general rule, require that a standard be built around multiple independent, conformant implementations. WebSQL did not measure up there because all vendors implementing it chose the only viable option they had for the underlying storage: SQLite.

Personally this[1] just makes C much more complicated for me, and I choose C when I want simplicity. If I want complicated, I would just pick C++ which I typically would never want. I would just pick Go (or Elixir if I want a server).

"_BitInt(N)" is also ugly, reminds me of "_Bool" which is thankfully "bool" now.

[1] guard, defer, auto, constexpr, nullptr (what is wrong with NULL?), etc. On top of that "constexpr" and "nullptr" just reeks of C++.

That said, Modern C is an incredible book, I have been using it for C99 (which I intend to continue sticking to).

Without a deep dive it looks ballpark the same, to be honest.

AU Cancer Survival Rates:

The 5-year survival for cancer in 1991–1995 was 55% and by 2016–2020, the rate had increased to 71%. Even with decreasing mortality rates and increasing survival, the number of deaths from cancer has been increasing.

15 Aug 2024 - https://www.aihw.gov.au/reports/cancer/cancer-data-in-austra...

US Cancer Survival Rates:

Five-year survival rates have also been increasing for an even longer period of time. The overall cancer survival rate was 49 percent in the mid-1970s. It currently sits at 68 percent
