> "what is the actual use case of the art?"

Not much. Low quality over-saturated advertising? Short films made by untalented lazy filmmakers?

When text prompts are the only source, creativity is absent. No craft, no art. Audiences won't gravitate towards fake crap that oozes out of AI vending machines, unrefined, artistically uncontrolled.

Imagine visiting a restaurant because you heard the chef is good. You enjoy your meal but later discover the chef has a "food generator" where he prompts the food into existence. Would you go back to that restaurant?

There's one exception. Video-to-video and image-to-video, where your own original artwork, photos, drawings and videos are the source of the generated output. Even then, it's like outsourcing production to an unpredictable third party. Good luck getting lighting and details exactly right.

I see the role of this AI gen stuff as background filler, such as populating set details or distant environments via green screen.
Maybe he did. Or maybe that is the first step in the very path that op doesnt want to walk.
How to easily scrape Events info and integrate it with your application
You probably know most of this, so sorry for the over simplification. but you asked.

A passkey is an implementation of public key authentication.

The private part should stay with you, this is your identity. The public part gets shared with others, they can use this to verify your identity. "microsoft passkey" wraps all this up into a simple tool that just looks like you are putting in a pin number.

The vague thousand foot mechanism is. someone who wants to verify your identity will ask you to sign a unique number. because only you have the private part needed to to do this, only you can sign it correctly. they can then use the public part to verify the signature is correct. and know it is really you they are talking to.

The private part is usually protected by a device, something to prevent others from using it. this is often just a password, in this case a PIN. but some times is a dedicated usb dongle. this only has to have local security guarantees not global network security guarantees. so a simple password like a PIN is not considered a problem.

The primary advantage over a simple password based system is that the thing that is shared(the public part) is unable to be used as your identity so it can't be stolen like a password. or perhaps more accurately, it does not matter if the public part is stolen(it is already public knowledge)

And now the irony, I have no proof, however I have a suspicion that because loosing the private part is the same as loosing your identity, that is, a big deal and a huge hassle to recover the account. I suspect microsoft is storing them internally. which means your account security degrades to a password based system where the password is basically pubic knowledge, that is, your so called security questions. what is your favorite color? is not a good password.
I hadn't heard before about Harberger's work from 1965, but circa 2004 I was inspired to come up with a similar idea but with a twist after reading someone's Slashdot sig that said something like "If copyrights are property, why aren't they taxed?". As I wrote in 2004: https://www.kurtz-fernhout.com/oscomak/AchievingAStarTrekSoc...
"As an alternative to a direct buyout of media companies or other major copyright holders, since the copyright bargain has been broken now that copyrights are effectively indefinite in duration, copyright holders could be asked to pay an annual 5% tax on the value of their copyright. This value could be a self-assessed buyout value which anyone could pay to place the work into the public domain -- essentially, it is an amount at which the rightsholder would be happy to accept in exchange for returning the copyright to the public domain. Presumably copyright holders would review their portfolio for profitability and future use and only the most important copyrights to their business would be kept and paid for annually. Those copyrights which were maintained would have current contact information for potential licensors available through the IRS or a delegated copyright contact information management authority. Assuming the value of all strategic copyrights in the US would be self-assessed at a trillion dollars (a wild guesstimate) then
this might bring in another $50 billion a year, to help offset the chilling effects, prison costs, court costs, enforcement costs, rightholder searches, missed opportunities for derivative works, and so on that effectively indefinite copyrights impose on society."
This is actually one of the more interesting LLM observability platforms I've seen. Beyond addressing scaling issues, where do you see yourself going next?
Faster upserts directly benefit from indices on the write side and the read side benefits from fast lookups.
This might work with some cohorts, but the women who tilt progressive or are educated? Very unlikely imho to work due to opportunity cost of 20+ years of childrearing. I'm unsure they're going to sell their freedom cheap. It is an interesting idea, and on the flip side, I'd be curious what the clearing price would be to pay women who don't want children to lock in that choice (~40% of pregnancies both in the US and internationally annually are unintended [per the Guttmacher Institute and the UN, respectively).
Seems like nobody noticed the "delve" part, which is a very dark irony here.
I don't think we need nearly as many devs as we think. We do need someone who is taking a hardline approach on limiting the amount of scope tackled at once, and then fewer devs that are downstream of that.

It is hubris to think that every problem admits the same solution, namely, throw as many devs as we can at it and hope for the best. But business isn't really known for being reflective.
"(layperson looking at the Intel opcodes listing) The harder they make it to join their club, the more exclusive their service becomes. And thus they can command a higher salary"

I know this might be difficult for those of us who have specialized in computer science and have found a lot of things very easy, but sometimes, other professions are difficult and complicated too! Not everything is gatekeeping, and needing to consult an expert otherwise you'll footgun yourself, isn't a personal blow to you, as a person!
If there's a car to the left, the choice is probably between hitting only the person, or hitting both the person and the car to the left.

Tiempo de Mañana – A Clean Weather Forecast Site in Spanish
Hi everyone! I'd like to share Tiempo de Mañana ("Tomorrow's Weather"), a weather forecast website I've developed.

Key Features:
- Fully Spanish language interface
- Clean and intuitive user experience
- Responsive design for all devices
- Real-time weather data updates

Background:
I noticed a lack of well-designed weather forecast websites for Spanish-speaking regions, so I built this project.

Site: https://tiempodemanana.com/

Feedback and suggestions are welcome!
Well, yes, I agree. But every government will try random things, and when it gets tough, they’ll take on the draconian measures. It’ll be interesting to watch China, South Korea and Japan in the next decade. Most governments are trying to see how they get out of this hole, and copy their implementations. I have no idea how they can fix it without rolling back contraceptives or women’s rights. I don’t think it’s going to be pretty.

And the whole “travel, party, drink” isn’t as morally insulting as it used to be before. I think a good chunk of people in their 20s would wear that as a badge of pride, rather than whatever they’re trying to imply.

Nice work but, Sorry but I don’t feel comfortable either proxying my llm calls through a 3rd party unless the 3rd party is a llm gateway like litellm or arch or storing my prompts in a SaaS. For tracing, I use OTEL libraries which is more than sufficient for my use case.
As a corollary, if a person you're responsible for "goes dark" socially (due to dementia, unable to go out anymore, moved to nursing home etc), do let their friendly social circle know (friends, neighbors) that the person would still be happy about visitors.

I've seen this with a relative with dementia - many people just weren't aware that she had no contact with them anymore due to this.
Enhancing the comments on the existing data model seems to be the most common approach for sure. I'm implementing this as a data architecture at several clients and I've found creating a whole new logical structure designed for the LLM is really effective. Not being bound by the original data model lets you solve several problems related to the "n-hops" question, avoiding needing the comments, and the semantics of how data engineers define columns. Some more details here [1], but obviously you can implement this totally yourself by hand.

I'm not certain is if this is because I live in a city with a well-known law school, or if Lawrence Lessig dropped the idea into my thoughts first.

The idea: The first duty of any court of law is to defend its own existence.

My thesis is that this first duty colors in the rest of the legal profession, including why laws, orders, and proclamations are written in a certain way.

Minor point: The article calls out in-place definitions. Useful, if unwieldly, when footnote and endnote conventions have yet to have been defined and practiced.

That’s the paradox of the man and probably the reason personal notes will indubitably be checked before being published: for someone who fought so hard against Nazism, he was strangely comfortable with casual racism and silent about the atrocities of the Algerian war.

Churchill is similar and possibly more familiar to the English-speaking public: presented as a lion against Hitler, but don’t dig too much towards what he did with Irish republicans or around India’s independence.

I don’t think FDR was that much different if you read what he privately wrote about Jewish immigrants to the US in the 1940s or the internment camps of Japanese-Americans.

All three are the modern keystones of human-rights-defending countries, but the second best-known thing about them is how much effort they put into planning openly racist policies, up to genocides. You can read Hannah Arendt and re-read after accounts on what happened during the Battle of Algiers, the Bengal Famine, or Manzanar, and it hits differently the second time.

I agree with the article, and I find many of the comments here insightful. Relationships with some of my old school adversaries were healed when they attended my son's funeral.

Passkeys are a terrible idea. They are security theater and a disaster for users waiting to happen.

Imagine you're on vacation and have lost your phone. You want to go to a cafe and log into a chat app, an email service, whatever to contact your family. In the world that passkey advocates want this is impossible via the passkey flow. If you can't authenticate via a primary device that contains your private key, you're f-ed. Service providers know this so of course they will provide recovery mechanisms. (Not consistent recovery mechanisms of course, each will have their own convoluted and likely to be broken ones). If the recovery mechanism allows for knowledge based recovery (challenge questions) then you're basically telling people that they need N passwords rather than one password. Maybe that challenge question is just a long password (recovery key). Maybe it requires access to another system, which you likely don't have in this circumstance. So you're either back to having passwords, or you're f-ed. Security theater or a disaster.

A service only has value if I can access it. I should be able to sit down at any computer in the world with the knowledge in my head and get access to any online service to which I subscribe.
Are you aware of any books like your "Introduction to Physical Modeling with Modelica" but for readers without a background in EE, math, physics? I am looking for something for a mediocre SWE like myself. It doesn't have to be Modelica; I could try learning MatLab or Mathematica, etc.
Idk. Nobody ever invited me and I don't know anyone closely enough for even knowing if anyone in their family died. I'll be fifty soon, and, I have an impression that the only funeral I'll ever attend will be my own, if there even will be a funeral :|
Those gifts listed were the few times I saw him. He didn't pay child support, so I grew up hungry. I just wanted a normal childhood.
This is, to be frank, not true. Tesla tried to sue Top Gear and the UK courts found in TG’s favour.

One of the most rewarding aspects of my previous career at a company spanning from a startup to an IPO and beyond was deleting bad code and replacing it in a massive Rails app that was touched by hundreds of devs in a high churn environment. I also took on fixing massive schema inefficiencies that had a lot of risk of breaking nearly every other team's flow. It took a lot of careful work and communication across multi-year goals that I managed, mostly alone. I was allowed to do this by a few early folks who believed I was doing a good service for the company in the long run but kept hinting it was a bad career choice for me personally. I believe I was eventually let go for making these massive improvements instead of adding that green button that the new Product guy wanted. No regrets.
The funeral industry is also very predatory. They know full well they have people in grief making decisions and they end up getting pressured into buying a casket that's just going to be buried in the ground in a few days, but they will be paying for for the next 10 years. That a family can come out of a funeral tens of thousands of dollars in debt is just absurd.
Oops, I meant to say generally 'include', not list. I'll reword that.
The generated Go code situation has always been wild to me. For example, every message embeds protoimpl.MessageState and a bunch of other types, which contain mutexes. That means proto structs cannot be copied or compared byte-for-byte like normal Go structs can.

For several years I used the GoGo Protobuf SDK. It was vastly superior to the awful Javaesque Go code that the official compiler generated. It allowed structs to be pure data structs, was much more performant, and supported a bunch of options to generate native-feeling, ergonomic Go code.

But the Google team refused to partake in any such improvements, and GoGo was shut down as the burden of following the upstream implementation became too big. [1]

I'm not an expert, but as far as I understand, the extra struct junk is mostly to avoid having a parallel set of types for metadata (including reflection). It's unclear to me why these can't simply be generated as internal types with some nice API on top.

Clearly the new field metadata adds to this extra information, and the Go team is moving in the opposite direction of what I thought the future was — they're doubling down on stuffing metadata into the structs, and making the structs bigger and even less wieldy.

I understand how this might make things more performant, but I was hoping this sort of thing could be solved with the type system, especially now that we have generics. For example, surely lazy field access could be done like this:

type Info struct {
User LazyProto[User]
}

userName := user.Get().Name

What?

Are you seriously implying testimony does not influence the outcome of a trial without cross-examination. You should see how much thought attorneys put into what they wear because it influences outcome.

I'm done here.
Actually it was the norm for Microsoft technology programmers (there was/is a huge number of them) and not surprising at all. You went from MS-DOS to Win16/Win32 to Visual C++ as MS kept releasing them, specifically the transition from 16-bit to 32-bit was a major checkpoint. IIRC the first version of VC++ was released on Windows NT 3.51 (or was it 4?) on a Intel 386 platform. The PC clones were available everywhere and in true hacker fashion people ran cracked copies of Windows NT and VC++ if they could not afford to buy it. For many programmers VC++/MFC was their first introduction to C++ language programming and i still remember trying to explain to noob programmers the distinction between MS' libraries/additions vs. plain vanilla C++ language.
This covers a negligible percentage of all hacked accounts and is at best a tiny part of what passkeys are supposed to solve.
Just because you prompt an LLM doesn’t mean it ain’t programming. The job will just change from using programming languages to using natural languages. There is no silver bullet.
Obviously, if we’d like to require programmers to release software in source code form then we’re going to need some rules. If programmers are made to release software in some source code form then what languages should we require? Clearly, Brainfuck is out of the question, for example. Though, it would do no good to legislate the programming community into a religious war over FP or OOP. My proposal, however modest, is that the law require software be released in some kind of well-specified, portable language. Something succinct and powerful. Something symbolic, abstract, and much higher-level than the underlying hardware. Hm. How about x86_64 machine code?
What are other potential platforms?
Don't forgot the anti-features of:

This is comparing cola to oranges; like others said, fruit juices are generally not recommended in amounts greater than 150ml per day according to UK’s healthy eating guidelines.

> Pure fruit or vegetable juices and smoothies should be limited to a combined total of 150ml a day. This is because crushing fruit and vegetables releases the sugars they contain to produce free sugars. Free sugars also include the sugars added to food or drinks, and sugars found naturally in honey and syrups. These free sugars are linked to excess weight and tooth decay.

> To me the thing becomes "woke" when we are told not to use "one man dev team" to mean "one person dev team"

Is it not a simply a more accurate term? Especially when it's literally a single person. A "one man dev team" that consists of a woman strikes me as unnecessarily confusing.

We're constantly told about these woke scolds that police language but in this instance I'm just seeing conservative scolds trying to police language for no actual logical reason beyond "I don't like it".
That was a beautiful piece. Well written, concise.

My grandmother was the only relative of that generation that lived in the same city when I was young — the only funeral I went to.

But as an adult, having my mother recently die, it was my turn to more or less head up the funeral. I too was touched by, in this case, relatives of my wife that showed up. They didn't know my mom from Adam but came anyway.
