Are they more of a threat than all the no code, spreadsheets, bi tools, and salesforce?

We've watched common baselines be abstracted away and tons of value be opened up to creation from non engineers by reducing the complexity and risk of development and maintenance.

I think this is awesome and it hasn't seemed to eliminate any engineering jobs or roles - lots of crud stuff or easy to think about stuff or non critical stuff is now created that wasn't before and that seems to create much more general understanding of and need for software, not reduce it.

Regardless of tools available I think of software engineering as "thinking systematically" and being able to model, understand, and extend complex ideas in robust ways. This seems improved and empowered by ai coding options, not undermined, so far.

If we reach a level of ai that can take partially thought out goals and reason out the underlying "how it should work"/"what that implies", create that, and be able to extend that (or replace it wholesale without mistakes) then yeah, people who can ONLY code wont have much earning potential (but what job still will in that scenario?).

It seems like current ai might help generate code more quickly (fantastic). Much better ai might help me stay at a higher level when I'm implementing these systems (really fantastic if it's at least quite good), and much much better ai might let me just run the entire business myself and free me up to "debug" at the highest level, which is deciding what business/product needs to exist in the first place and figuring out how to get paid for it.

I'm a pretty severe ai doubter but you can see from my writing above that I think if it DOES manage to be good I think that would be good for us actually, not bad.

I mean the main reason is that (at least then, but somewhat so today) the largest newspaper publishers in Germany and their biggest literature publishers were the same people, honestly. But it meant that the press were very much on side. They probably also felt that their archives were more valuable pre-internet.

Germany also just has a tradition of very strong authors rights.
>The term "security theater" itself is often thrown around to criticize when it's completely undeserved. Lots of people use it to poke fun at the TSA, but the term totally dismisses the fact that hijackings have plummeted [1,2]. The TSA does its job.

Your graphic shows 'worldwide' data rather than US data. How would the TSA be involved in reducing hijackings on flights outside of the US? The connection seems spurious at best.

We could just as easily argue that hijackings correlate with other violent crime and the reduction in violent crime worldwide has led to their decline. Or that increased prosperity worldwide mitigates hijackings. There's very little basis to believe that TSA has anything to do with it.
I don't know anything about anything but a good example of what you're talking about has to be "a well regulated militia" or just the second amendment in general. It's wild how different people interpret it

> Generally this is not tractable because it cannot scale

The real question here is scale in terms of what? Because a lot of folks are out here trying to scale people/careers, not software.

It's extremely noticeable at BigCorps. Why do we need to scale this project from 3 -> 30 -> 300 developers? Because that's the number of reports to promo from Manager I -> Manager II -> Director

This research also seems to be a little bit shallow.

Yep - my understanding of https://github.com/kubernetes/kubeadm/blob/main/docs/ha-cons... is that Kubernetes doesn't usually control that load balancer (nor should it, since you could accidentally tell Kubernetes to take down the control plane LB, then not be able to get it back up again!).

I suppose one could set up a "fast pass lane" kubeconfig that adds a header that haproxy would understand, and route to a priority class in its queue with e.g. https://www.haproxy.com/documentation/haproxy-configuration-... . But there's no easy `kubectl --with-priority` (or, to my knowledge, good guidelines for the various gitops solutions) that follows this pattern out of the box.
That's fine, people deserve to be paid. Is it fine to be compelled to keep selling the service under the original terms as long as your customers still have your device?

I don't believe in banning websites but that website is unequivocally bad.

It's a website that reinforces all the cognitive distortions of anorexia. It's the equivalent of a website for depression that says "You know how you feel like life isn't worth living, you're right it isn't, everyone who tells you that with treatment it will get better is lying to you. Here's a bunch of inspirational blog posts about how wonderful suicide is and 10 ways to kill yourself."

Anorexia is not a very stable condition, you can't really just accept it and live with it. Anorexia is built on a positive feedback loop. Obsession with thinness drives low body weight, and low body weight increases the obsession. Most anorexics get worse when not being treated. This is one of the reason it has such a staggeringly high mortality rate.

> but a PIN is pretty much ___a password___ in my book.

Context clues. Read the whole comment. Pretty much immediately after they start talking about PINs and how they're pretty much just passwords, they go to talk about using passwords instead of PINs in Windows. Each sentence isn't its own entirely separate universe devoid of any context of the previous words and sentences.

What PIN do you think they stopped using immediately after referencing their Windows password? Think they stopped using their bank card PIN because they figured out how to go back to full Windows passwords?

So no, they're not speaking generally about all PINs, they're specifically referencing it in the context of Windows accounts.

Type inference is probably the biggest thing. You would need explicit "phases" to expand macros, disallow macro expansion at runtime, and implement bi-directional type inference HM-style to get even close to what OCaml has.

To be honest, I'd kill for a Lisp that had the same type system as OCaml, but I suspect the closes we'll get is basically Rust (whose macro system is quite good).

It appears to be the same hardware as before, even the same firwmare/software as before (JetPack 6.1 was already out), just now they've lowered the dev kit price and documented a new performance mode which increases the clocks, power consumption, thermals, and compute performance.
The popcount example does compile, if you drop the "assume" form,

(import (chicken bitwise) (chicken fixnum))
(define (popcount32 x) ; From "Hacker's Delight"
; (assume
(let ((x (fx- x (bitwise-and (arithmetic-shift x -1) #x55555555))))
(let ((x (fx+ (bitwise-and x #x33333333)
(bitwise-and (arithmetic-shift x -2) #x33333333))))
(let ((x (bitwise-and (fx+ x (arithmetic-shift x -4)) #x0F0F0F0F)))
(let ((x (fx+ x (arithmetic-shift x -8))))
(let ((x (fx+ x (arithmetic-shift x -16))))
(bitwise-and x #x0000003F)))))))

Turns into somewhat redundant C, looks much like transliterated bytecode, e.g.

long v17 = 0;
// ...
// popcnt.scm:7
v17 = 0;
// ...
// popcnt.scm:7
v17 = (t37 & 252645135);
// popcount32
// popcnt.scm:8
t40 = crunch_arithmetic_shift(v17, -8);

“The French people” is not a bunch of people frozen in formaldehyde. It is changing, whether some people want it or not. Not that long ago, the dirty foreigners (the term “migrant” was not fashionable yet) included Italians (fleeing famine), Armenian (fleeing a genocide), Spaniards (fleeing Franco and the civil war), Portuguese (fleeing Salazar and dire economic prospects), etc. Now all their descendants are proper French people and some of them even stand for election for a right-wing nationalist party. The French people will have a future in any case, unless the whole country is carpet bombed with nuclear warhead. The problem is that some people don’t like what French people actually are.

The PIN is not a password. Two very different concepts in what they're actually used for.

The password to decrypt your password database isn't your actual password to the logins contained within, its just a part of the process to get it.

The PIN to unlock a passkey isn't the credential itself. Its a part of the process to be able to use the credential.

Meanwhile, an account password is the credential.
Do you trust VPNs? Because they are the same idea with a slight twist. VPNs encrypt data before it leaves your computer and decrypts it when it arrives at the destination.

1Password and the like encrypt data before it leaves your computer, stores it for however long you want, and then decrypts it when it the data is copied to your computer.
Calling them "a people," is basically the same as calling them a race. I wonder how this term came to be accepted. It frames your mind to think about the DNA of France rather than its culture or traditions.

> Tokayev (...) went on to thank Russia for sending troops to help establish order.

> Russia's Defence Ministry stated that more than 70 planes were flying, around the clock, to bring Russian troops into Kazakhstan and that they were helping to control Almaty's main airport.

On the other hand:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kazakhstan%E2%80%93Russia_rela...

> Kazakh leadership including Kazakh Foreign Minister Mukhtar Tleuberdi did not condemn the Russian invasion and abstained on the UN vote to condemn it, but at the same time they refused to recognize the Russian states of Donetsk People's Republic and Luhansk People's Republic.

> In addition to sending humanitarian aid to Ukraine, the Kazakh military increased spending and training. (...)

> Russia suspended shipments of Kazakh oil after Tokayev’s statements at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, where he stated that Kazakhstan considered the DPR and LPR as “quasi-state entities” and would not recognize them. On the other hand, in spite of some tensions, Kazakhstan's relations with Russia remain strong and mostly friendly, as shown by Tokayev's visit to Moscow in November 2022. (...)

> In 2022, Kazakhstan agreed to share the personal data of exiled anti-war Russians with the Russian government. In September 2022, Kazakh authorities detained a Russian journalist who was wanted on charges of "discrediting" the Russian military. In December 2022, Kazakhstan deported a Russian citizen who fled mobilization.

I'm no expert in foreign relations, but to me, this sounds like the relationship between the Trump administration and the municipal government of Portland, Oregon, not like the relationship between France and Germany, the relationship between Argentina and Brazil, or even the profoundly unequal relationship between the US and Canada. Tokayev can posture a bit about disagreeing with Putin, but Russia will punish him, and when push comes to shove, he depends on Russian military support to stay in power; and when Russian dissidents or draft dodgers show up in Kazakhstan, he arrests and deports them. (Contrast Vietnam-War-era US draft dodgers fleeing to Canada.)
I also have a Yubikey for work, so I know how they work and how small they are.

I still stand by the idea that most users wouldn't be happy having to cary it around. We can't even get most users to use password managers which are built into their phones (1 in 3) and there was a collective meltdown when Apple removed the headphone jack which required people to cary a dongle for wired headphones. Telling people they need to cary around a yubikey for anything they want to log into just isn't going to fly.

Only if you already know it is there. There is like... zero history discoverability built in the git. and git's historical search story is pretty bad too.
Their post actually says "face, fingerprint, or PIN"

When you set up a PIN in Windows it can either be numeric or a full text password, it's your choice.

> But what is the point of bringing that up when someone explicitly asks for examples of small teams with big success?

The point here is to explain how much of a risk these small teams are making.

So that is the relevance of the example. It shows how much more difficult and risky these successes are, by pointing out that even if someone puts in a lot of work, it is actually more impressive because of the large risk.

This is relevant because the sub thread/topic was this:

"Now that's hard. I have beyond massive respect for anyone that's even attempted it, let alone been successful doing it."

Therefore, bringing up failures or the fact that there is large risk, supports this point that someone else brought up, which is that it is both hard and deserving of "massive respect".

So that is why someone would bring it up and why it is definitely relevant and correct to bring it up, in response to this point.
Seems to be a common misconception, passkeys need not be tied to a device, they can be saved to a password manager and synchronized.

[…]

> the only black-pilled response is “someone has to talk to the llm”,

This is literally the exact same response as “engineering is about a lot more than writing code”, since “talking to the LLM” when the LLM is the main code writer is exactly doing the non-code-writing tasks while delegating code writing to the LLM which you supervise. Kind of like a lead engineer does anyway, where they do much of the design work, and delegate and guide most of the code writing (while still doing some of it themselves.)
Half the politicians are lawyers, so it makes sense they'd want to protect their own interests.
The problem is that the output of the program determines if you’re going to jail. There are laws that many people might break just because they have no clue that there’s even a law about that.

Realistically, you’re probably not going to go to jail immediately but you can have a bad time if you’re caught doing some things you didn’t even know were illegal.

SQLite is in-process. It never spins up another process or thread. It's just a library. Its blocking I/O means that the thread that called into SQLite can't do anything else until it completes. Though note that SQLite's underlying API is essentially a row-by-row interface - you run a query by calling sqlite3_step(), which returns when the next row has been retrieved.

SQLite does have a page cache, so recently-accessed pages will still be in the cache, allowing for the next result to frequently be returned without stalling. And the operating system's file cache may be reading ahead if it detects a sequential access pattern, so the data may be available to SQLite without blocking even before it requests it. (SQLite defaults to 1KB pages, but the OS may well perform a larger physical read than that into its cache anyway.)

Asynchronous I/O usually isn't actually any faster to complete. Indeed there might be more overhead. The benefit is that you can have fewer threads, if you architect your server around asynchronous I/O. That saves memory on thread stacks and other thread-specific storage. It can also reduce thrashing of CPU cache and context switch overhead, which can be an issue if too many threads are runnable at the same time (i.e. more threads than you have CPU cores.) It might also reduce user/kernel mode transitions.
This is very accurate. Most of the time the motivation behind restrictions and not releasing code is rooted in support costs. People can and will break things inadvertently, but they won't like that and will then go the route of requesting support, RMAs, etc. Additionally in some cases those people that developed random customizations will release them, and now other users will install or use them, and if an issue crops up, the support costs are now exponentially worse.
2024's Biggest Breakthroughs in Physics [video]
Nice work, overall, this definitely has the feel of an old console game. I downloaded and played through the first world. Really cool gameplay, very intuitive. I assume the challenge increases on future worlds?

Two pieces of game-related feedback:

1. The B button doesn't do anything at all, as far as I can tell. I think it would make sense in the puzzle screen if the B rotated through the hole/grass/ghost cycle in the opposite direction.

2. It would be cool if you added some kind of level code system so you didn't have to start over each time the game resets. One code for each world is probably sufficient (don't have to have one for each puzzle, necessarily). Without this, the game is locked purely in emulator mode, because I don't see someone sitting through 700 levels in a single playthrough otherwise.

Not-game related, but it would also be cool to create some "box art" for this, if for no other reason than having the game look pretty in an emulator list.

Anyway, it's in my library now, and probably worth coming back to from time to time!
Grammarly has been having an identity crisis ever since LLMs made grammar checking accessible to every company at a fraction of the cost. ChatGPT is killing a lot of companies and grammarly was the first collateral.

This acquisition is concerning because Grammarly is well known for its bad privacy policy and how it's essentially a keylogger. Now that it has access to probably thousands of companies data hosted on Coda is a huge concern.

But it's high time Grammarly evolves itself into some other product or die trying.
