You don't even know that you are the one so grandiose that you see fit to diagnose someone over the internet (you're a freaking software developer).

Look, Occam's Razor says you're arrogant and ignorant, ok? But your ego is fighting this glaringly obvious truth because you're willfully ignorant and arrogant.

You can't make a cogent argument to a single point I've made, so Occam's Razor should be pointing you in a different direction than to keep up your incurious arrogance.

You tried to accuse me of being a false prophet, a wolf in sheep's clothing, with a Bible verse that only led to the next verses backing up my explanation that you were replying to, where I explained that knowing the truth is a fruit of the Path of Love.

Have you learned nothing from Dunning-Kruger? You have no humility, no points to make, and only ad hominems, in the face of an expert who has done the humble work to become a better person. Your "concern" could not be more worthless. It is born of your fragile ego that knows that if you follow the Path of Love, it will be transmuted from an arrogant fool into a selflessly compassionate bearer of Wisdom.

Pride goeth before the fall. My work here is not born of pride, but simply of my duty to bear witness to the truth; this is a compassionate act of service to you and all who read this. I say this in friendship, for your benefit, not mine.

Your attacking my person and the love I am trying to teach is not good for your happiness. Not believing in gravity will not save you from getting hurt falling from a height, and you are running towards the cliff's edge.

I have come in peace and kindness; you should treat both myself and the truth I convey better than you have. A mind only works when it's open, right?

or it is something else?

It is something elses: a decision not worth optimizing for first cost of hardware and the uncertainties of external support costs and a limited pool of qualified candidates for in-house support of desktop systems.

And of course the need to retrain employees who already know how to use commercial operating systems.

The arguments for desktop Linux in business are just arguments. There's not a strong business case in most cases. The people running companies are not any dumber than average. Good luck.

I have a PhD in the humanities, have taught at the college level, published work of interest to no one outside of a small group of specialists, and am a professional software engineer (concealing my field and CV because my story is unusual and I like privacy).

I wouldn't identify the tech world with intellectual work. I mean, setting up a lemonade stand is arguably intellectual work if we use the term in a broad enough sense.

By intellectual work, I mean (and most people here mean, I think) that which has no clear or intended use other than to explore, master, discover, learn -- pure research, study, teaching -- or isn't justified by real-world, practical "usefulness."

I tend to share just about all of Jaron Lanier's views on the tech world you're describing -- critical of free and open culture, unimpressed by and dismissive of LLMs and "AI," hostile to social media, and overwhelmingly disappointed.

Intellectual, academic, edifying work continues, entirely separately, to be worthwhile. I don't ask what number theory does for humanity, because I don't expect or need it to be useful in any popularly "practical" sense, any more than I expect a poem to be.

If you could figure out production and storage of antimatter, space travel would be very different.

I remember reading a Robert L Forward book where he described all this in great detail.

EDIT: I think the book was "Indistinguishable from Magic" which was interesting science-wise but not compelling as a science fiction book.

He also seems to have written about antimatter directly: "Mirror Matter: Pioneering Antimatter Physics"

> Cursor is a nervous intern! They don’t want to admit they don’t know; we need to help by providing context.

With an intern, I give them some search terms and let them go learn. I don't have to do the searching for them. It's actually more important to help them learn how to evaluate the different results. It's not even that they "don't want to admit they don't know" (which is anthropomorphization), they are not designed or trained to ask clarifications. The chat based interaction is an "afterthought" (a round of fine tuning after initial training)

The big issues I see in this paradigm are

(1) you have to know a lot of things already to do this

(2) if we automate all the low hanging fruit, how will we develop humans to the level of understanding to do this

(3) with a human, I can delegate, with an AI, I have to handhold. As much as people want to call it "pair programming" it is often more like having to teach except in never truly learns, so I never get my lost time back
I’ve discussed karma sharing on HN before, and it’s basically not really a bad idea per se but if it’s not broke don’t fix it. The second chance pool is there for things that fall through the cracks. And your post can still get some upvotes. But the real issue to my mind is that HN isn’t really about karma points, so if your post doesn’t do well it’s fine in the grand scheme of things, even in the context of HN. At least other people were able to see the link, even if they didn’t see your post. All roads lead to Rome, anyway.

So your karma number didn’t go up when you did the thing but it did when someone else did the thing. It seems unfair, but it’s almost an anti-feature in that it can disincentivize karma motivated posting behavior. Find something else to post and try again? It’s not worth getting too attached to post traction. The time of posting seems to have more to do with how well a post does than the particular link or who posted it first imo.

It's not virtue signaling. Europe acknowledges that we are already good enough to keep basing our growth in fossils. But developing countries deserve some slack with fossil usage while they converge.

Indirectly, by requiring cleaner cars for example, there's a push toward China designing clean engines if they want to sell in Europe. In fact China is already selling a decent amount of cars in Europe.
Like it or not the social impact isn't really debatable, there's a decent amount of evidence, enough for the surgeon general Dr to issue a warning:

We need to move to a capitated payment system. The current fee for service system incentivizes everyone to consume more than necessary. Doctors prescribe more because they get paid more, insurance gets a fixed percentage of revenue as profit so they want to spend more too. The systems has evolved into tons of make work bs because as the amount of money sloshing around grows so does profit for everyone. Capitated payment encourages everyone to save money as profit is just the left overs after everyone is treated. If you spend less than the provider next door without outcomes suffering you make more money, so innovation is encouraged and waste eliminated. Also fixes the "insurance denying coverage" issue as all prescription decisions are made by the provider.

I wonder if Carbon Copy Cloner is affected.

Having bootable backups was the only reason I ever moved to a Mac.

This means, a backup of my computer created using something like Carbon Copy Cloner, or SuperDuper backup when plugged into any other Mac, and it would boot as my computer. Also known as Target Disk Mode booting off this backup.

Indispensible when or if my laptop was in for repair with Apple.

> We can totally control an entity with 10^x faster and stronger intelligence than us.

Unless you're referencing an unreleased model that can count the number of 'r' occurrences in "strawberry" then I don't even think we're dealing with .01*10^x intelligence right now. Maybe not even .001e depending on how bad of a Chomsky apologist you are.
A point is being missed here; The user, nor the provider of hardware/software can be hostile towards each other.

Here's why:

The cloud is someone else's computer, not yours. It's a shared drawer that you get a key to, but so do many others. If our main access to your drawer is through the programs on our computer, it also can be limited and broken for hours, days, or weeks while under repair.

I'm not sure how many laptops you've owned (personal and work), it seems once people get past 5-10, we are basically buying the death of the device at the first moment we open a new laptop.

It's my device. I pay for it. I own it. I use it how I want.

Being protected from myself is fine. Being protected from external internet threats is fine.

Having a switch to bypass it is mandatory. Non negotiable. Instant deal breaker.

More realistically, MacOS is possibly * being shuttered, sequestered to get locked down to make adopting iOS / iPadOS type OS on the macbooks directly instead.

Windows tried to dictate when my computer should update and not do anything else, so I left. It's unforgivable. This was well before any policies to manage it cam eout.

Do you mean biological evolution?

> You say it perhaps a bit weird, but imho you are stating that there do not exist universal moral values, which is a very non-universal stance.

It’s an observation, and a very old one. Darius of Persia famously made a very similar observation in Herodotus.

> Well, the beauty is that we can make progress.

There is no such thing as progress in this realm.

> - If X can only register that system A an B are morally equal, because both systems are a system, then X misses some fundamental human abilities. That X is dangerous, because for X there is nothing wrong with Auschwitz.

No, the point is that there is no basis of comparison, not in moral terms. Of course you and I feel that way, living when and where we did. There are no “fundamental human abilities” being missed, this is just the same argument that “we feel this is wrong, so it’s bad and dangerous.

> - Also, a good question would be if one would like to exchange their moral beliefs for the Greek moral system. If not, why have a preference for a moral belief if they are all equal.

Of course not. Morals are almost entirely socialized. Nobody reasons themselves into a moral system and they cannot reason themselves out of one. It’s an integral part of their identity.

> Not saying this is you, but I think the main fallacy people run into is that they are aware of shortcomings in their moral acting. Some might excuse themself with relativism -> nihilism, but that is not what a strong person does. Most of us are hypocrite some of the time, but it doesn't mean you have to blame your moral intuition.

I do my best to follow my moral intuitions, and I am sometimes a hypocrite, but the point is moral intuitions are socialized into you and contingent on your milieu, so when you’re discussing these issues with other people who did not share the same socialization, moral arguments lose all their force because they don’t have the same intuitions. So we have to find some other grounds to make our point.

There doesn't just seem to be lack of intent, there is no intent, because by the nature of its architecture these systems are just set of weights with a python script attached to them asking you to give you one more token over and over.

There's no needs, drives, motivations, desires or any other part of the cognitive architecture of humans in there that produce genuine intent.

the author also complains that There is only one way to loop (for). that seemed odd to me. i thought is go really that limited? for loops used to be the bane of programming. that can't be true, and it isn't.

it just happens that things like while or foreach or however they are called in your favorite language are all done with the same for keyword. is that bad? i don't know.

as for map/reduce, in most languages that i am familiar with those are functions. and nothing prevents go to have these functions too. if they are not in the standard library, add them. there are multiple implementations available. eventually one will make it into the standard library.

In theory, could you use mc^2 energy to create a mass m of antimatter, combine it with m matter (which is rather more readily available), get 2mc^2 energy back out, and repeat, effectively consuming matter to make energy?
