What advances do you think TJD takes advantage of compared to GF besides the improvements in graphics which are IMO barely relevant to the experience.

I like your framing better!
A key point of this post is here:

> you have to get clear on what the company is looking to get out of the project.

Regardless of politics, starting with why we are doing this project at the first place is often overlooked.
I'd say I tend to ignore the standard docs because they rarely have examples and rely on the arcane procedure of trying to decipher the super command options with all it's "[OR THIS|THAT]".

I assume _someone_ can read this pseudo programming, but it's not me.
Thank you, didn't know this. I'll add it to the article.
One place I worked at did that + only 1 person per project and all projects got rotated between developers at the start of every week on Monday.
And when we did stand up meeting every morning nobody cared what anybody else had to say cause we all worked in different projects. Go figure.
> It fits perfectly if you look at it from a "balls" standpoint, this pilot ejected for whatever by-the-book reason when his electronics were bad and yet the airplane continued for 11 minutes just on autopilot.

> How would you expect a pilot that gives up so "easily" to lead other men into a high risk-high reward operation when he gives up himself so easily?

If you use an ejection seat, there is also a given high probability that you will never be capable of flying a fighter jet afterwards, so it also takes quite some balls to make the decision to use it.

Also, the pilot did not "give up", but decided that it is smarter to retreat and save lives instead of going to death. In a a high risk-high reward situation, I strongly prefer hyperrational risk calculators (in opposite to risk avoiders - the common person in society) over hypermasculine risk takers - but I'm a nerd.

So, the only explanation that I have is that the military wants to bully around and show macho behavior.

And thank god for that.
wow! I thought you were exaggerating but on a quick glance, their presence in HN is mostly about criticizing Go.
Being able to write code that is able to be understood by someone new to the project is a skill set. It is certainly one that is not universal. And it is certainly one that should be admired. Solving hard problems in the simplest way, with clear information about why/how it works is one of the most important skills of a developer, imo.
> I could try if you wish, but under what specific context? Words and terms often change in meaning when the situation around them changes. There is almost never just one definition.

Why not just say "In this context, this is what AI would be"? You can supply a context.

Similarly, on-board soundcards are notorious for this. Even in my relatively recent laptop I can judge activity by the noise in my headphones if I use the built-in soundcard, thanks to electrical interference. Especially on one motherboard I had, I could relatively accurately monitor CPU activity this way.

There's also audible noise that can sometimes be heard from singing capacitors[1] and coil whine[2], as mentioned in a sibling comment.

I use it as a work main because it's a Microsoft ecosystem with Teams, ADO, SharePoint, etc., and I learned a very long time ago that there are consequences to shunning slices of the Microsoft ecosystem for preference. I spot legit little quality of life integrations occasionally, but on the balance, I have no idea if it has been worth it to deal with some of the bugs and occasionally terrible design decisions that come and go. It's, at least, nice to stay aware and be reminded that my persistently disdainful view of Microsoft over the years actually extends to the poor quality of their recent offerings.

Sorry I didn't like your argumentation style. Your first two points (gratitude and cynicism) are mostly strawmaning tbh, and don't really construct anything for your conclusion?

If your main point is that we ought to act ourselves to create a world we like, I wholeheartedly agree with you. But maybe I misunderstood.

Anyway strawmaning is bad, especially that your arguments stand buy themselves, and to me cut into the overall credibility.

Every project has a role of Release Manager. Some teams are small enough that this role is filled by a team lead, project manager, architect, etc. some teams rotate this role to spread the pain and knowledge. Large teams have a defined employed role with title of Release Manager that could even include a team (think shipping large DoD contractual projects)

There’s whole books on this subject. I think this blogpost does a great job of summarizing the goals for large tech company shipping — well written — nicely done
Is it “name calling”? OR, a historical comparison?

Wasn't Goebbels the propaganda man, and the things Stephen Miller is tweeting about is extremely inflammatory, he is the Trump extreme Propaganda Man.

And since as stated earlier, mass deportations might not be realistic, the propaganda of caged Mexicans and destroying Mexican Families, is the kind of marketing fodder to make the Republican Base 'think' that real action is happening.

Republican's have been making a lot of reasonable claims about a 'legal path to citizenship'. And what does Stephen Miller just do, he tweeted that they will start looking into revoking citizenship for people that was already granted. To reverse citizenship. Where does that end? With Mexicans only? That seems more in line with Goebbels.

It's usually easier for a technical "tech lead" to pick up project management than for a project manager to pick up "tech lead" (deep technical) skills, but exceptions exist.

The tech lead should have better business understanding than "currently needed" and ideally be supported by a domain expert (business analyst, product owner).

A project manager may support the tech lead to ensure the project's output ships.
but now you've made `datetime` some kind of superglobal so you can't use that as a variable anywhere

depends on the language, in pike, and as far as i know in python i still can use it as a variable if i want to, it would just cover the module and make the real datetime inaccessible. but why would i want to do that? if i see someone using a well known module name as a variable in python i would probably recommend changing it.

i don't see the benefit of not filling the global namespace over making import unneeded. add to that, by convention in pike module names start with an uppercase letter, and variables don't, so the overlap is going to be extremely small and never causes any issues.

In Python and JS you can also put executable code inside your modules that gets executed the first time it's imported

pike doesn't have that feature. if there is something to be initialized you'd have to call it explicitly. i don't see a problem with that, because in python you call import explicitly too. so you just swap out one need to be explicit for another. i prefer the pike way because it actually gives me more control over if and when that initialization happens.

i think that also better fits the paradigm of explicit is better than implicit. in python i have to learn which module does initialize stuff or ignore it, in pike i can easily see it from the way it is used.

further in pike to get an initialization i would normally create an instance of a class in the module because modules are singletons, and you probably don't want to change something in them globally.

going to run the first time it's implicitly imported instead

pike is compiled, that is, all these references are resolved first, before any code is run. so even if there were any implicit initialization it would be possible to run it first.

more specifically, pike modules are instantiated objects. i don't know the internals, but i believe they get first instantiated when they are resolved. again, that's before the rest of the code where the reference came from is running
But so if there's a benchmark that a model scores at 60%, does it mean that it's literally impossible to make anything that could be more than 67% better?

E.g. if someone scores 60% at a high school exam, is it impossible for anyone to be more than 67% smarter than this person at that subject?

Then what if you have another benchmark where GPT3.5 scores 0%, but GPT4 scores 2%. Does it make GPT4 infinitely better?

E.g. supposedly there was one LLM that did 2% in FrontierMath.
Thanks for responding. You'll be happy to hear I have disagreements with what you've written! :-)

"Given the semantic overlap it's very easy to see why they'd be conflated." - I agree with the definition you gave, but I think such conflation is often intentional. The accusation of "Being defensive" is used to shut down a much broader range of responses.

" it's not clear who's "fault" it is. But that doesn't actually matter in terms of resolving the conflict." - This is technically true - but only a sufficient analysis if resolving the conflict is the sole concern. I posit that there are often broader issues that mean justice is not being served by just resolving the conflict at any cost.

"Assertive & empathetic me: " - I hate to say it, but your last paragraph doesn't sound very assertive to me. It sounds like someone who is hoping to resolve an argument quietly regardless of the cost, rather than have it blow up.

Anyway, thanks for listening, man. I hope you take my answer in a spirit of honest debate. I'm not trying to be rude or anything.
That's the first order truth. If you don't have any knowledge about the system, you can't infer causality with observations alone.

With some generic assumptions, or prior knowledge about the system, you can do causal discovery.

For example, just the assumption that there is additive random noise enables discovering causal arrows just by observing the system.
In conjunction with Tariffs, could get 20% inflation some markets.

I think laptops and electronics could hit 20% inflation.

While farm good, more impacted by immigration would probably be less that 20%, but who knows. If you can't pick the fruit at all, inflation can spike rapidly. Year or so ago I think peaches hit triple digit inflation, (and came back down, yes, it fluctuates).

> Planes are obsolete technologies, should have invested in drones/loitering munitions. In 10 years, its all going to be drones.

This is speculation on what the future will be, not our current reality. In the War in Ukraine, reliance on cheap drones has more to do neither sides ability to achieve air superiority due to AA systems. Introduce stealth and/or effective SEAD tactics (suppression of enemy air defense) into that mix, and the situation changes very quickly. For a recent example, see the Israeli strikes on Iranian air defense systems.

The future is more likely to be hybrid, where drones, and "loyal wingman" data-linked with manned systems are used to get the best of both worlds. The F35's sensor suite and data-link capability are designed for that.
Agree on the role distinctions, but the best people in any of those roles will be able to see/do some of the important factors in the other domains and ask questions like "so what does success for this project look like?"

If you've read the article, and thought to yourself... I wonder what it was like back then, and if there might be some other direction it could have gone, oh boy do I have a story (and opportunity) for you!

It's my birthday today(61)... I'm up early to get a tooth pulled, and I read this wonderful story, and all I have is a tangent I hope some of you think is interesting. It would be nice if someone who isn't brain-foggy could run with the idea and make the Billion dollars or so I think can be wrung out of it. You get a bowl of spaghetti, that could contain the key to Petaflops, secure computing, and a new universal solvent of computing like the Turing machine, as an instructional model.

The BitGrid is an FPGA without all the fancy routing hardware, that being replace with a grid of latches... if fact, the whole chip would consist almost entirely of D flip-flops and 16:1 multiplexers. (I lack the funds to do a TinyTapeout, but started going there should the money appear)

All the computation happens in cells that are 4 bit in, 4 bit out Look up tables. (Mostly so signals can cross without XOR tricks, etc) For the times you need a chunk of RAM, the closest I got is using one of the tables as a 16 bit wide shift register, which I've decided to call isolinear memory[6]

You can try the online React emulator I'm still working on [1], and see the source[2]. Or the older one I wrote in Pascal, that's MUCH faster[3]. There's a writeup from someone else about it as an Esoteric Language[4]. I've even written a blog about it over the years.[5] It's all out in public, for decades up to the present... so it should be easy to contest any patents, and keep it fun.

I'm sorry it's all a big incoherent mess.... completely replacing an architecture is freaking hard, especially when confronted with 79 years of optimization in another direction. I do think it's possible to target it with LLVM, if you're feeling frisky.
