At my university this was called 'business calculus'. It's enough to get you through most of economics and finance, but not enough to understand basic physics. You can memorize crap about pendulums, but you won't understand Newton's theory of gravity in the end, and you'll be even more lost on the fancier stuff like Maxwell's equations. Sure, you don't need that level of understanding for most computer stuff, but I frequently find that it helps.
Their proposed solution is not compatible with reality though where POSIX does not get to define what kind of files exist on filesystems you need to work with.

All they did is introduce new error cases in C programs while not actually fixing anything for shell scripts.

If anything, it's going to result in more exploits as people write shell scripts with the assumption that newlines cannot appear in filenames.
If you use Xorg sure. If you use wayland it can't be done.
A friend recommends SayHi, which does near-realtime speech-to-speech translation (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sayhi.app&...). Unfortunately it's not offline though.
I don’t think any of this is true, although enough people expect it to be they exclude themselves. I think all of the anxiety from the perceived (but untrue) high stakes makes a lot of people that would otherwise succeed never bother to try.

In the USA anyone can fail high school and still go to community college for next to nothing in tuition. In many states if they pass with Cs- allowing for infinite retaking of classes- they will be guaranteed a spot in the public university of their choice. Ultimately they can graduate sooner, with less debt then if accepted directly from high school!

Or, they can skip the community college and just go to any university as an extension student, and only actually apply once they have a proven track record of success at that very school, and letters of recommendation from their own faculty.

Basically, you absolutely do get unlimited chances to retry in the USA academic system, even if you don’t take it seriously as a teen.

As a parent, I’m not going to put any of the pressure on my kid that modern parents in the USA do- the things they are afraid of simply aren’t so.
I just realized this having switched to FF on Android fairly recently. Working on an app and saw literally nothing when trying to submit an empty required field. Couldn't imagine what I was missing until I searched. I was stunned. No issue with rolling your own validation but this should work!
Cursor -is- Visual Studio Code, bar the AI-specific tooling.
Lately it has definitely felt as though Microsoft is resurrecting Ballmer's old meme as "AI! AI! AI!"

I was at Microsoft for the last couple years of Ballmer and the first few years of Nadella. He definitely did change the company and I remember at the time feeling that he handled the change really well, but from where I sat he spent the first part of his tenure evolving Ballmer's final push to move focus from Windows to developers. Everything Microsoft did prior to LLMs was to bring developers over, from VS Code to GitHub to WSL.

Now the company seems fully baked I to LLMs with everything they do chasing that. It would even make sense if the developer push was driven in part by the need to build up training sets for the eventual LLM work, though I really have a hard time believing that Microsoft was so well ahead of the game that they started grooming developers to provide data more than a decade ago.

Not sure why it's downvoted, I think it's quite an important distinction to make. I've heard people saying "Flutter is bad for web because it's not indexable by Google". And reply "do you expect your app - like a food delivery app - to be indexable by Google" if it's run on the web?
It is not; Greg's wiki further explains why, if the silent failure problem above is not enough reason.
Murray Gell-Mann - "The quality of information" lecture on youtube from 1997 is also worth a listen.

Murray basically points out how much communication in general is really just exchanging errors for no reason.

I suspect this is where the idea of "Gell-Mann Amnesia" came from.
Good for him, I just saw Alien Romulus in which they recreated Ian Holm via software and it looks like absolute ass, even the animatronic in the og Alien had less of an uncanny valley vibe.

It's such a weird thing when you stop about it and think, soon we'll have rehashed stories with rehashed fake actors, "content" used to sound pejorative but soon enough it'll be a good descriptor, meaningless content to fill the empty vessels which are our lives between a work session and a sleep session
> Britain has tips. Every restaurant adds 12.5% as an 'optional' charge but they know full well that Brits are allergic to causing a fuss and will never ask it to be removed.

That "service charge" is usually (mandated?) listed on the menu, so it would lead to quite an awkward conversation if you then complained after sitting and eating the meal. It's quite often specified for groups over a certain size and it makes more sense than getting into a "tipping" argument after the meal.
Idea or theory can be great, well constructed and intellectually interesting without being true.

Aquatic ape hypothesis is similar. It's a initially a great theory and explains many things. Only when you start to investigate other explanations, the theory starts to fall a apart.
Endurance running hypothesis on the other hand seems to hold. Incidentally it explains many of the same things as aquatic ape hypothesis, and there is more supporting evidence.

Partially agree on the web sentiment, it just lacks a proper model, both positioning and styling, for what we call apps.

Acceleration can be measured completely locally, velocity can't.

Imagine a pool table on a spaceship. If the spaceship starts to thrust, the pool balls will start to slide backwards. You can measure how fast they accelerated backwards and know how fast the ship is accelerating forwards without needing any point of reference outside the ship. There is no way to determine your velocity without having another point of reference outside the ship, and even if you do that, you still now only know the velocity between the spaceship and the reference.
The multiplicity of the mind is a subset property of the universe; the human mind is the ability of the universe to ask ‘why something, not nothing’.

It took billions of years for the seeds of the mind to flourish, and prayer is a slow reconciling with this property of the universe.
Ford’s EV line up is bad, very bland. Not sure how they are expecting to drum up excitement in their customers. EVs are not and never will be purchased like a regular gas car. They are still a second car for commute and for people with a little excess money. So people need to be excited about them to buy. Tesla did that before musk went crazy. I see the similar excitement with Hummer, which looks amazing. Except for the Mustang EV, the rest are bland. They should pulllout some of their decommissioned models/brands and bring them out as EVs just like what GMC did with Hummer
Flutter engine is mostly written in C++.

Other parts are written in Dart like you said.
From what I see, it's not better than GitHub Copilot for my use case. I work in large code bases, where the code in one files depends on the code in other files. Copilot seems to only be aware of code in current file, unless I write very long prompts to direct it to specifically look in some other files.

So for making changes to existing code, Copilot isn't helpful and neither seems to Cursor.

I can use Copilot to write some new methods to parse strings or split strings or convert to/from JSON or make http calls. Bat anything that implies using or changing existing code doesn't yield good results.
The entire mobile market was immature back then, people didn't expect much interoperability and Windows Mobile 7 Nokias were slick and faster than iPhone or Android. They could have become the "contrarians luxury" if you didn't want to just get an iPhone. A bunch of hardcore Microsoft fan developers were gearing up to develop for Windows Mobilet dotnet when Microsoft changed the APIs with Mobile 8 (IIRC) and this dedicated bunch of developers just dropped the platform and just embraced Android or iOS instead.
Have you presented this on any ROS forums? If so, how was it received?
Indeed. To many tests are just testing nothing other than mocks. That goes for my coworkers directly and for their Copilot output. They’re not useful tests, they are thing to catch actual errors, they’re maybe useful as usage documentation. But in general, they’re mostly a waste.

Integration tests, good ones, are harder but far more valuable.
Word of mouth mostly. We have a local presence, and through good old fashion IRL networking we've built a decent little business.

If you are using vscode in the copilot chat you can use @workspace and it tries to get the relevant files and context.
I just notice that someone (admins) edited and removed the `written in Rust` part of my post.

Not fair.. other posts have `written in Python` on it.

Why was that?
I worked for a small company that did. The idea was the password manager lived only on your phone, and you'd connect it to your computer in various ways. Notably including our own hardware, USB nub that connected to the phone app via Bluetooth and acted as a keyboard for the device and the app would instruct it to do the keystrokes to enter your saved credentials. Also a browser extension that the app would connect to over websockets (through our relay servers, DH key exchange to encrypt the connection end to end) and the extension would request the app to send down the credentials on demand. Also we were a very early adopter/implementor of FIDO U2F (security keys). The product kinda hinged on the paranoia of the userbase (which I never aligned with, I trust 1Password and cloud sync'd encrypted vaults for example) so it never really took off. It wasn't "my" product, but I worked on it for a few years, right out of school.
For sure. Enterprise mobile was not really a thing back then. (Laptops with VPN was state of the art.) Microsoft could have organically owned the enterprise mobile market but chose not to.

A charitable interpretation of what he said is that we need to do real world experiment instead of of relying on the opinion of supposed experts. Real data based on well made experiments trumps the opinion of any particular person.
Kind of relevant to this, there is literature to support the notion that the 'personality' of internal voices is shaped by society -- people experiencing it in Western nations tend to have voices be very negative and violent, whereas people of other nations tend to have more friendly relationships with their auditory hallucinations. It definitely fits with this therapy, where building a relationship with the voice tends to benefit the mental health of the person [1].

Pedagogy cannot know how knowledge is generated in the human mind. Pedagogy can advise on how to construct the process of education, like classrooms or grades, but it cannot know what knowledge of calculus is.

Moreover, no one knows what is knowledge, how it works, and how it can be acquired. If it was known, then AI developers would already have build a general artificial intelligence. There are some known rituals, if you do enough of them with uneducated youth then some of them become knowledgeable. But no one knows how it works and why it doesn't work every time.

> usability is more important than branding.

Said no designer ever.

At work our design team came up with buttons that are 10x10 pixels on my screen. They are used to change pages (like on mobile, but this is a desktop program), the scroll events are ignored by design, so you either click the tiny buttons (which are slightly darker gray than the dark background) or you simulate a finger swipe via drag and drop with the mouse. Yes they designed a touch GUI for a desktop application.

It essentially is, you’ll get a disorderly conduct charge (the Wikipedia article confirms this). You’ll also be held liable for any damages caused by the ensuing panic.

You can contrive situations where it falls within the bounds of the law (for instance, if you do it as part of a play in a way that everyone understands it’s not real) but if you interpret it the way it’s meant to be interpreted it’s breaking a law pretty much anywhere.
Ai assistant tuned for your sepecific large code base seems like the best final destination. I am not sure if this is on the horizion, miles away or just something that is of such little marginal benefit that it would only be useful internally for a handful of orgs.

Certainly for writting my emails for me I would quite like an Ai fine-tuned to my written voice.
What you’re written it literally false.

You have no idea what that command does. It fetches something off the internet and builds it and installs it.

It is objectively less explicit than having a local folder that you have explicitly fetched, and run a build on.

It is also objectively easier to make a mistake when you type a single command that fetches and installs as one step, than it is to clone, and review then build it.

So, apart from being objectively wrong, I do agree with you; for now, it is easy, convenient and honestly, good.

However, I think you’re being extremely short sighted.

As I said, and as you can see, yourself, from the “command-install” related issues on the cargo issue tracker, the status quo isn’t gong to last. More people will use it. More people will want to distribute binary dependencies and prebuilt binaries.

We are walking blindly into a future where a “cargo install marmelaide” (whoops, was it marmite? Did I spell it right?) installs what you didn’t expect it to, and where people increasingly pressure for more features to be added to cargo to support, the obvious lack of features cargo install currently has (again, read the issue tracker if you doubt me or for some reason think I'm making this up).

I don't support that; but sure, that's just my opinion.

There are other fully featured better designed alternatives. Cargo does not need to be, or should be, a dumpster fire of features in order to be a generic cross platform application distribution tool.

I don't see that as being controversial. /shrug
According to a talk by Eben Moglen (https://softwarefreedom.org/events/2012/Moglen-rePublica-Ber...), the noted connection between strong encryption and mass surveillance was a policy change by the US government. Before 2001, the policy was to repress and delay strong encryption and keep out of the public sector in order to maintain the states ability to monitor communication. After 2001 the policy changed towards mass surveillance strategies, which methods we got some insight into by the many leaks that was released a decade late by people like Snowden.

The connection is interesting, but the key word that I find important is the word policy. Mass surveillance is generally not a technology problem, it is a policy problem. If the government want to surveil every citizens movement they can put a camera on every street, regulate that every car has a gps and network connection that report their movements, have face recognition on every train and bus, and require government ID to buy a ticket that get sent to a government database. When the price of mass surveillance went down, the question of using it became a policy question.
>My best example is test cases. I can write a method in 3 minutes, but Sonnet will write the 8 best test cases in 4 seconds

For me it doesn't work. Generated tests fail to run or they fail.

I work in large C# codebases and in each file I have lots of injected dependencies. I have one public method which can call lots of private methods in the same class.

AI either doesn't properly mock the dependencies, either ignores what happens in the private methods.

If I take a lot of time guiding it where to look, it can generate unit tests that pass. But it takes longer than if I write the unit tests myself.
Those are some of the key points": focus, regular content, entertaining (and probably at least a little provocative). Can't really speak to the money-making part.

Why do you need to memorize the map when you have a map? Filling in the US states on a map is busy work, but reasoning why the locations of the states relative to each other by looking at a map is important.

Dates are only important as they relate to each other, their specifics are almost always meaningless.

There's a difference between rote memorization and committing to memory through practice.

I mean, there is still some rote memorization needed at times, but you want to minimize it as much as possible.

Probably the same way any other trademarked IP is licensed.

I suspect every party that has their hand in the pot with regard to the normal workflow will kick and scream the whole way.
Reading this article makes me wonder. Whenever I am too stressed, I become very self-conscious and I interpret everyday things and normal nuisances under the umbrella of "See, this is how big of a failure you are, you pathetic loser". Is almost as if there's another voice - not my voice - in my head who tells me this abusive stuff, sitting on the side and being judgemental.

Does this also count as psychosis?
But at some point usability is more important than branding.

I have never worked for any company or organisation that believed this. Most clients will send you their branding guidelines before sending their feature requests. If they get to choose between adding a new feature, improving usability or making sure everything follows the branding, they will choose the branding every time.
That seems weird complaint about Wayland, Wayland requires every server to support these features, just like X11 also requires every server to support them? Sure, there weren't that many X11 server implementations so maybe it was not so apparent, but as a protocol they seem pretty much equal in this regard.
If your copies come out of the machine right-side up and they get stacked on top of each other, then you can just take the finished stack from the machine when finished. Otherwise, you’d have to reverse the stack, which in real life or in a computer is an expensive operation.
