Other commenters gave excellent and actionable answers to your question. I want to quibble about your reaction to C.

> I do not enjoy working with C at all. Its esoteric and difficult to understand, and just overall feels like I'm using a tool from the 70s.

Esoteric means "intended for or likely to be understood by only a small number of people with a specialized knowledge or interest." That does not describe C, a language widely understood and used by a large number of programmers, across application domains and programming interests.

Difficult to understand describes a reaction you have to learning C, not a property of the language. Again a very large number of programmers understand and use C, have for decades, and a huge amount of C code gets written and maintained constantly. The C language includes very few keywords and a simple syntax, and a small standard library compared to Python. People new to C usually trip over memory management, pointers, and the overall philosophy behind C, not learning the language itself.

C does date back to the late 1970s, but so does most hardware and software technology we use today. Newer does not equal better, and C has remained relevant and popular despite its age because it works so well. Toyota introduced the Corolla in the mid-1960s and it remains relevant and widely-used today, not to mention influential in the automobile industry. C occupies a similar position, a language that works so well it has staying power and has undergone relatively minor updates over time, unless you count derivative languages that expand on and perhaps improve on C -- C++, Go, Rust, Zig, many others.

Good luck with your project.

"confidence" doesn't have to be an emotional state. It's essentially just another word for "probability" here - any model's confidence of X is the probability it yields for X. Isn't this common terminology?
I mean maybe the reality is far different from the PR spin they spend a lot of money and time creating?

> those who consistently take anti-establishment stances, often without merit, barely get a footnote

"anti-establishment" as in holding the government accountable and asking questions of them -- irrespective of which party is in power?

isn't that the job of news media?

if they are doing it consistently - good on them.

why does it need a footnote or disclaimer?

I am sure there is enough content to file under a "Controversies and Crticism" section on the page of every anti-establishment media house. Volunteers are free to add.
The key point here is that despite all their biases, the Washington Post and The New York Times were at least perceived as independent, with both of them famously publishing articles that would upset those in power. If their owners feel the need to spike articles unfavorable to the administration, then no more Pentagon Papers etc.
Has an owner ever killed an already-written endorsement 11 days out from an election? You're right that there is an implicit assumption that an owner condones the paper's operation. But to exert control like this so specifically and in such a baldly partisan way is unprecedented, thus the resignations both at the Post and the LA Times.

It's one thing to hire an editorial staff with whom you agree, it's quite another to step in and overrule their attempt to do the job you hired them to do.
You sure? I vaguely remember that the Green Revolution was roughly a 10x in yield. That sounds pretty significant. What's the yield difference using modern techniques?
There’s plenty of hate for X on HN and abroad. I don’t think the crowd on HN is going to have the same reaction to Wikimedia taking a hardline stance against censorship.

The second that you would benefit from using a DBMS specific feature, the ORM begins getting in the way. It is highly unlikely that an ORM provides support, much less a good abstraction, over features that only 1/N supported DBMS have.

Your code ends up using the driver raw in these cases, so why not just use the driver for everything? Your codebase would be consistent at that point
So when do we scrutinize politicians next?

There's another comment referring to Elon. I'll leave that aside, but I think the same analysis can be done for him.

Clearly the population is split on wether or not intent matters when it comes to philanthropy. Some people say, it is only respectable if you're doing it out of the goodness of your heart, not for some ulterior motive (like repairing/boosting your image). On the other side, you could argue that the majority of philanthropy is done for image improvement, and without that benefit millions of people would be left without help. Hoping for "true altruists" to save us is probably never going to work.

True altruists that can gain enough power and resources to make a difference is a paradox. I need 10 billion dollars before meaningful impact happens (random number, but the point stands _a lot of money_). That's more money that any altruistic person would ever get to, since they'd start donating at the 100million or less mark.

The closest we have to a true altruistic person with power is someone like Mackenzie Bezos. No derision here, but she didn't have "what it takes" to get there, but she does have the desire to help. Which is also why we don't hear much about her donations, compared I Mr. Beast, despite her giving orders of magnitude more money away. And more correctly.

Then, we could look one level higher, how do these people acquire their wealth? Clearly selling garbage food to kids, creating fake giveaway videos, and other things isn't exactly helping the world along the way. Making electric cars cool / hip? That's pretty good. Embrace, extend, extinguish? Terrible.

Holistically, Mr. Beast is earning his money off of children and "legal scams". Then, fixing his reputation by donation pennies on the dollar of that back to the world. Overall, probably not a great person. Couple that with how conscious he is of what he's doing based on various leaks, and is say definitely not someone I'd categorize as deserving of any adulation. Obviously not actively evil, but definitely overall harmful to society in his pursuit of fame and wealth.

Aside: how isn't this titled "MrBeast's Faux-lanthropy"?

> Trying to draw an equivalency between code and weights is ridiculous, because the weights are not written in the same way as source code.

By the same logic, the comparison between a compiled artifact and weights fails because the weights are not "compiled" in any meaningful sense. Analogies will always fail, which is why "preferred form for making modifications" is the rod we use, not vague attempts at drawing analogies between completely different development processes.

> They are built from the source material supplied to an algorithm. Weights are data, not code.

As Lispers know well, code is data and data is code. You can't draw a line in the sand and definitively say that on this side of the line is just code and on that side is just data.

In terms of how they behave, weights function as code that is executed by an interpreter that we call an inference engine.

The time for empathy was the first and second time people were fooled by this stuff. At some point, you need to start asking the fooled to share accountability with the fooler. These people aren't innocent victims being bamboozled by a clever manipulator. They see the bombardment of misinformation, they know it's misinformation, they know where it's coming from, and are willingly stepping into the path of it and inviting it in to their brains.

The people falling for this stuff are not helpless deer in a forest full of predators--they are actively participating in the deception targeted at them.

Yes exactly. It reminds me of this video by veritasium, which is in turn inspired by Adrian Tan where he says “Be hated” and describes how in being successful you should seek to be hated by those with poor values. Not that I agree with everything Elon, Mr beast or Veritasum does by any stretch, but they have all seemingly embraced this. I also think it’s inevitable with fame, and perhaps a good check on the actions of those with power.

If I were Mr Beast and I read this I’d shrug it off and think you can’t impress everyone. Again, I don’t agree or even follow what he does but it actually doesn’t matter, if you do good, or bad, or do much of anything notable, you will attract hate.
Won’t somebody please think of the sage grouse?

Yeah. I appreciate the warning & enjoy the personal tail, but it's just that guys story & it's being projected as an absolute.

If I don't enjoy the experience anymore that's fine with me too. I think I'd still feel a sense of accomplishment, feel like I'd advanced as a human and mastered my environment and machines for diving in here.

I don't feel the agency I want to have. These games make me want to extend myself, my agency. Playing them manually offers some very low grade enjoyment but that sense of missing out gnaws at me, and I'm not at all dissuaded by parent trying to ward me off, and if I do end up winning so hard I don't care anymore, me right now would regard that as a victory condition & rief from this pressure I feel about ineffectively plodding through as I do now.
Do you think also part of it is that to amass that amount of wealth is to extract that much money, I wonder how many "true altruists" would even play that game to begin with?
yup, after some experience, memory safety becomes kinda easy to get right.

integer safety on the other hand is pretty hard, and non-trivial to get right unfortunately.

Article talks about how 90% of the land would remain as is as well as 100% of the national parks, simply restoring watersheds that are intermittent or dried up to wetlands.

I didn't use the word good anywhere or even offer a value judgement, I simply called it interesting.

Also your tone sucks and makes me not want to discuss in good faith with you.
There’s not really any such thing as neutrality. Arguably universities can maybe step away from things (although this is complicated with departments that are inherently political), but “neutral” if you’re writing about politics always reflects some kind of value judgement. By definition one person’s neutrality is someone else’s bias.

The split isn’t on intent. It’s on effectiveness.

In one camp is ineffective philanthropy pretending to be effective. In the other camp is actually effective philanthropy.

What makes is problematic is when the ineffective philanthropist is using the philanthropy to line their own pockets.

But a government threatens an internationally beloved and fundamental institution built by the volunteering work of individuals across the globe for the pure love of sharing knowledge because it accurately made a statement?

> Could we live in the interior of the Pangean super continent

We already avoid living in the interior of Australia, because living at temperatures of +50°C is just not very compatible with having body temperature slightly below +37°C. Same applies to the middle of Sahara desert. It's not impossible though, because the humidity is very low there, so, given a supply of water, you can cool by evaporation. At high humidity. you'd just die; such things happen during heat waves on the Indian subcontinent, for example.
I agree that the decision is wrong and unfair, and that it can be easily circumvented. That does not negate India’s right to legislate as it wants, nor does it prevent the Indian government from repressing citizens who choose to defy the law.

It’s very unfortunate, but there is more to this case than simply negating a country’s jurisdiction or encouraging nationals to challenge it.
That and talking about prosecuting the political opposition along with journalists, poll workers, and career public servants just for doing their jobs. And using the military to do it.

That seems like a false dichotomy no? The article is specifically about MrBeast, who would NOT have "lavish resources" if he did what you propose. The stunt nature of the work IS the income stream.

I think it's more reasonable to ask if he's just creating short term gains, or making things worse. I would guess the former. Which is honestly better than the alternative which is he does cruel prank videos with the same budget.
