It’s worth noting that the UK provides free healthcare via the NHS. A healthier nation is in everyone’s interests, as it reduces the long-term costs of treating preventable ailments and diseases caused by poor diet.

Nations without universal healthcare are presumably less likely to concern themselves with the health of their citizens.
I am aware that the way I work is not the only one, of course, but I am also not so sure about your "vast, vast majority" thing.

You can call it dev-first mindset, I call it a sustainable work mindset. I want the people I work for to be happy with my output. Not everything is velocity. I worked in high-velocity companies and ultimately got tired and left. It's not for me.

And it's not about code being beautiful or other artsy snobby stuff like that. It's about it being maintainable really.

And no I am not given much of a time, I simply refused to work in places where I am not given any time is all. I am a foot solider in the trenches just like you, I just don't participate in the suicidal charges. :)
I would like to believe that I have not overfit myself to writing like LLMs. You can find some of my pre-LLM writing at https://medium.com/@LakshyAAAgrawal/tweak-your-lubuntu-appea...!
It's the media and common populace that (1) has a lower IQ (democracy more widely accessible) encouraging talking down; and (2) demands that muppets have equal opportunity to enter politics as the well-educated élite.

We could give multiples higher salary to MPs, stack the commons with the best Cambridge, Oxford, Imperial, LSE, etc. have to offer ... but you can't do that, because matey earning a living wage or whatever already thinks they're grossly overpaid and that extra income besides their MP salary should be illegal - when a software engineer could earn more. So woman of the people who left school at sixteen to work retail gets his vote, that's who we need in power, not these educated toffs.
>That's not a flip side: it's the prisoner's dilemma.

True. Having the retirement funds of gen-pop tied to the wellbeing of some unscrupulous mega-corps, leads to a prisoner's dilemma where governments and gen-pop are incentivized to ignore or even support the exploitation, societal damage and misbehavior of such "too big to fail" entities.

It becomes a form of mutually assured destruction: "you can regulate or fine us Uncle Sam, but you'll also be hurting the retirements of your citizens; are you sure you want to do that?"

The most predictable comment is yours, especially since you completely missed the point of the original comment which had nothing to do with the video quality.
Their examples of it being right to say you're low risk have a key part about it not happening before. Medium risk example had "has had warnings of csam being shared before from international organisations and has no way of spotting it happening again".

You don't have to stop everything happening to comply.

So is the scenario you're picturing that someone spams child porn, complains you don't stop it and makes you add a URL filter? Would you do something different if someone was spamming csam anyway?
I've been told my entire life that it's too late for nuclear, we should have been building them 20 years ago.

I think now's fine, even if it takes time. these companies already buy a ton of power from renewable sources, and it's good to diversify - nuclear is a good backup to have.
I have not seen any proof so far that LLMs can enable teams. I and one other former colleague had to fix subtly broken LLM code several times, leading to the "author" being reprimanded that he's wasting three people's time.

Obviously anecdata, sure, it's just that LLMs for now seem mostly suited for throwaway code / one-off projects. If there's systemic proof for the contrary I'd be happy to check it out.

It probably depends on one's culture. In the Philippines, it's customary for funeral visitors to give a small donation to the bereaved family members (typically, around 20-40 USD). And since funerals are considered a big social event, it's not uncommon to hear of fmilies who were able to recoup (or pay off) their funeral expenses through the donations alone.
That doesn't mean anything to somone who doesn't already know what Modelica is. It would be hard to be more vague. C++ technically satisfies that definition.
I'm glad to see more projects exploring the statically compiled Scheme space. One difference from PreScheme listed is R7RS conformance, but the PreScheme restoration project is also targeting R7RS so that the compiler is portable to many Scheme implementations. The biggest difference I can see is manual memory management vs. reference counting. Though, one of the TODO items for the PreScheme restoration is to revisit memory management. Maybe PreScheme will end up with reference counting, as well.
A follow-up challenge is to stack all the datasets and train a model that, for any given point, guesses to which dataset it belongs.

"My dad gave me a gold brick. It's sooo heavy."
because storing it in any way is extremely inefficient - the best solution we have is pumped-storage hydroelectricity with at most 70-80% efficiency.

Renewables aren't available 24/7, as they work in cycles in most cases(sunlight, tides, waves, wind - geothermal and hydroelectric is an exception, but latter also has problems with damages to ecosystem, and handling sediment travel along the rivers) - this is the most basic problem with them. Grid demands electricity in a way that does not align with the renevable's production, so you need buffers.

So you need to build both energy storage, and energy generation - both are source of pollutants, and eRoI over the whole lifecycle isn't actually that impressive. It is a way to go though, but we are far off from fully transitioning to it.

if you genuinely have to ask that question, you need to read more about energy before you start discussing it. and especially about modern nuclear reactor designs, and how catastrophe in Chernobyl happened(forced orders from above, basically a human failure)
Assuming the country wants to import goods and services, then they are going to need to be able to sell goods and services. The desirability of the goods and services the country is selling can be roughly indicated by the population's purchasing power.

If more and more people are earning less, then that is not a good sign for the desirability of the country's goods and services.
Per https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/61b7e040e90e0... the average UK car MPG is ~50mpg, so even allowing for the difference in US and UK gallons a 22.5mpg vehicle is colloquially a "gas guzzler" by our standards.

> What may be true is that there is a national policy to keep fuel prices as low as possible, for a myriad of reasons, with one side effect of that policy being that it has enabled people to buy larger less fuel-efficient cars.

Yes. Americans have always had cheap fuel and it's shaped the entire society around it.

We can't really say what is hard, because evolution tends to be more creative than anyone expects. But we can say it sounds easy - evolution would only need to come up with a "build this with reverse the chirality" mechanism and run everything through it. That'd even be what humans are doing in this research, I suspect. If there are advantages to reversing chirality then there'd be lots of paths where partially reversing chirality of parts of an organism would be interesting or creating clouds of reverse-chirality molecules would be evolutionary powerful.

It wouldn't be likely, but we're talking millions of years and a process that has overcome some remarkable engineering challenges. Finding one place where building backwards then extending that just wouldn't be such a big deal.

That's the part many LLM proponents don't get it or hand-wave away. For now LLMs can produce okay one-off / throwaway code by having been fed with StackOverflow and Reddit. What happens 5 years down the road when half the programmers are actually prompters?

I'll stick to my "old-school" programming. I seem to have a very wealthy near-retirement period in front of me. I'll make gobs of money just by not having forgotten how to do programming.
A failed startup is nothing to be embarrassed about, most of us don't have the guts to try it!

You shouldn't expect much interest in the code, the value of a company's code without the business and people is quite negative when there isn't some technical secret sauce. Even if there was some technical wizardry people would just care about understanding how that one part worked and probably not use any of the code itself.
The twist probably does induce the kind of tangling that you mentioned. But, there’s a class of proteins called topoisomerases that allow the DNA to unwind itself via some very beautiful mechanisms.

That does not make any sense to me. Vehicles can and are manufactured in the US.

Bigger vehicles are popular in the US because people want to be in a bigger vehicle and sit higher up than others, AND can afford to do so (ignoring their long term finances). I.e. the politically popular policy of low gas prices.

That's the long and short of it. Buyers rewarded the sellers that sold big and tall vehicles, so obviously sellers are going to sell big and tall vehicles.

There was no situation where buying a big and tall vehicle was cheaper than a smaller, more fuel efficient vehicle, so conclusively, people chose to spend more to get what they wanted. Of course, once someone else gets a bigger vehicle, then you are less safe, unless you get a bigger vehicle, and so on and so forth.
That doesn't quite hold when talking about a piece if hardware someone can own outright, like a phone. If the mall allowed shop owners to buy the store they'd have to function more like an HOA, collecting dues rather than rent.

That analogy still doesn't quite hold as you legally agree to pay HOA dues when buying the property and agree the property can seized eventually if you don't pay. No such agreement is made between phone owners and Apple, Apple just sells you the thing and puts some of it's functionality behind ongoing fees.

This is not the first story I've heard of a product that isn't quite right, but when deciding where to pivot, fell into AI as the answer and then failed. I've said it before, but it bears repeating - when we figure out what AI is good at and what it is not, we will start treating it as a tool instead of a goal, and our product ideation will stabilize.

Ever wished you could time-travel just to say 'I told u so'?
Remember what I said: The challenge it presents you with is to refute it with a non- question-begging, non- burden-shifting response that would not apply, mutatis mutandis, to your own argument - and for that, it would be helpful if you list your premises as I have done. I mentioned a while back that you cannot justify your conclusion by being aloof (or vague, for that matter) about the argument for it.

Note that this nominal counter-argument does not render irrelevant the question of what you mean by 'likeness', and whether it differs from the sort of correspondence that information flow along causal chains can bring about. In fact, if you do not say anything definite, I can simply assert, as a premise, that they are the same thing, and rephrase this nominal counter-argument accordingly.

There're multiple solutions like this and I've used some of them over the past years.

- There's obviously the fantastic Magit (https://github.com/magit/magit) which is an Emacs Plugin but you can configure your Emacs start up just with Magic and nothing else so that Emacs is only used as a TUI Git client. I did this for a while.

- There's GitUI written in Rust (https://github.com/extrawurst/gitui) I did use this for a long time but recently switched over to LazyGit for the better Vim bindings and having more features

- LazyGit (https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit) is what I'm using right now and I'm mostly happy

I actually wrote my own in C some years ago called Gitsi (https://github.com/terhechte/gitsi).

One thing that I added that (as far as I know) none of the others have and I sorely miss is VIM number based movements. So you can say 4j and jump 4 selections down. This makes it much faster (for me) to jump to the one file I'd like to commit. I ultimately stopped developing Gitsi because I didn't have the time to implement all the features others had readily available.

I do prefer TUI based Git clients to full blown GUI apps because of the keyboard movement. So I can quickly enter do something and exit, while staying in the terminal

While true, it's still a text and usually http/tcp based format; data -> json representation -> compression? -> http -> tcp -> decompression -> parsing -> data. Translating to / from a text just feels inefficient.
It's compiling a subset of Scheme that can be statically typed. It's not for full-blown live-hackable Scheme programs. You'd use Crunch or PreScheme to implement things that you can't implement in Scheme, like a garbage collector. I don't know if Crunch has this feature, but with PreScheme you can run your PreScheme programs at the Scheme REPL so you can have your comfy REPL-driven dev environment and then create a static executable when you're ready.
I finished the book "Last Kings of Shanghai" (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/48890489-the-last-kings-...) a few days ago and it has some overlap with this article. It's a very good and interesting read if you are curious about this part of the history, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Opium Wars etc.

I won't discredit how beautiful this set turned out, but by my eyes the pieces are not particularly easy to (quickly) distinguish from one another (i.e. rook vs pawn vs bishop). Gorgeous to look at though!
At scale, the performance gains can be dramatic. For example, moving a json web service to CBOR, I was able to squeeze 15% more throughput out of existing hardware. When you’re dealing with hundreds, if not millions of requests per minute this can be financially prudent.
How is it only open source on paper? There are thousands of contributors and it's super easy to get your code in.

There's also HACS for plugins which they don't want to merge.
But regulators do, through the taxes the industries pay on the profits.
Upvoted because as a work of art it's beautiful and as a product of technology it's neat to see that printing with quartz is possible. But it must be said that the distinguishability of the pieces is lacking.
It looks nice enough, but how the merge algorithms actually work is the whole ballgame, and I didn’t see documentation for that.
The biggest issue is that legislation seems to be drafted by people who have little or no expertise in their area. We've seen other examples of poorly drafted legislation in the UK - eg Computer Misuse Act 1990, which is intended to address hacking but can be read in such a way as to outlaw firewalls, and so on. Parliament as a whole is in desperate need of reform, it's based on archaic principles that just don't work anymore, but those in a position to enact reform seem to prefer the status quo.

Hard to say about SORA but the video you shared is most definitely worse than Veo.

The Pelican is doing some weird flying motion, motion blur is hiding a lack of detail, cycle is moving fast so background is blurred etc. I would even say SORA is better because I like the slow-motion and detail but it did do something very non physical.

Veo is clearly the best in this example. It has high detail but also feels the most physically grounded among the examples.
Now that's a good point. They would need to actually debate things if parliament had this composition.
An alternative explanation is that non-go people got their hands on go and complain that go is not x or y.

Like with generics. Now they’re in go. They’re not great, they have some sense but they may as well not exist as far as I’m concerned. I find them pretty useless anyway without lower and upper type bounds.
If you hand someone a ton of power and they abuse it, you can expect, at the very least, the people affected by that abuse to blame you for handing it to the wrong person.

And since social media works the way it does, you can also expect a ton of unaffected people to also pick up their pitchforks and join in without having any real clue what's going on.

And that's assuming there isn't some law somewhere that really does put you on the hook for it.

300 forums is a lot of power.

It makes a lot more sense to expect the sub-admins of those forums to start their own communities elsewhere than for just hand power to a single person over all of them.

Not -necessarily- true. I don’t typically expect my c to compile on the first try at 100 plus lines. Some languages do seem to be either so forgiving that they”work” without complaint or so structured that they guide you away from errors but are less expressive feeling.
And I never said both can't exist at the same time. Are you certain you are not the one fighting straw men and are tiring yourself with the imagined extreme dichotomy?

My issue is with people claiming LLMs are undoubtedly going to remove programming as a profession. LLMs work fine for one-off code -- when they don't make mistakes even there, that is. They don't work for a lot of other areas, like code you have to iterate on multiple times because the outer world and the business requirements keep changing.

Works for you? Good! Use it, get more productive, you'll only get applause for me. But my work does not involve one-off code and for me LLMs are not impressive because I had to rewrite their code (and to eye-ball it for bugs) multiple times.
