But yeah, sure, let's hand all critical decision-making to AI.
How do you police what's addictive on purpose vs what's addictive by use? Who polices the difference between addictive additives versus standard driving of engagement? After all, I think sites/apps Youtube or even Hacker News would be guilty depending on how you draw the lines.

Here I think you are talking about the risc vs cisc debate. It is true that in modern OOO cores this is basically meaningless. I think the only truly relevant piece is fixed encoding widths, which make wider decoders feasible on a lower power budget.

On the other hand I think risc-v owes a lot of its popularity to how easy it is to understand and implement a bare bones core. Marketing will be a huge challenge for any newcomer, but risc-v is doing very well on that score.

The place I think risc-v has made really good innovations in ISA design is in the vector extension. It seems to me that it allows for code to be written for larger vectors and the machine can apply whatever vector width it has available. I believe this should allow new cores to improve the performance of old code in a way that more explicit designs like AVX have struggled with.
The HA docs funnel most folks to a Raspberry Pi. The performance eventually got so abysmal I gave up on the platform.
No. There's no burden of proof. It's fact. It's not 'claims', it's EVIDENCE. And experience. And logic. Your smug view is ridiculous anthropomorphic arrogance masquerading as logic while being delusion.

1st principles reveals NHI exists. It's illogical to start from the opposite assumption.

Stop disadvantaging yourself. Free. Your. Mind.
I agree the title is a bit clickbaity but I don't think it's justified to dismiss the entire article on that basis. The author makes some very good points and while I had heard of Racket, I wasn't aware of how its macro system differed from Lisp & Scheme. Moreover, discovering you can implement type systems as macros[0] alone made reading the blog post worth my while. But as always YMMV.

Many people care more about shipping (perhaps buggy) software rather than the theoretics of programming languages. I used to despise that, these days I think I understand it.

Still, I'm sad the industry is stuck with languages such as Python and Java, rather than say Racket and Idris...
Sure, but it’s not like kids are missing out on computer options and not every kid is going to be a developer. Any kid who wants to play with technology today has much more of an opportunity than ever before (in middle and upper class districts in the US in my experience).
You sort of summarized my experience with Australia as an European - beautiful to stunning places all around the coast, and every single one with massive sign of all the deadly creatures and other dangers that can kill ya in a minute (ie Irukandji). Didn't even take a proper swim there in the ocean, just waist deep on more remote beaches.

Then I saw on Fraser island on some lookout above the shore sea literally swarming with sharks. From time to time some giant stingray swam through them, but mostly sharks. Like some caricature movie with Bond and piranhas.

Oh boy do I enjoy swimming in Mediterranean and just not giving a fuck about anything, anytime, day or night, any season, even butt naked. In decades of going there I got 1 sting from small jellyfish on the shoulder, that's it.

100% agreed, which was my point above about studies being done to prove the negative impacts, so everyone could actually get on board, instead of it being done ad hoc.

Unfortunately, the entire reason I didn't release Unicorn under an OSI approved license is because I see many (most?) FOSS projects are chronically underfunded. Now, I did not quit my job and build this to get rich or anything, but I do need to earn enough to sustain myself. If there's enough interest, I would consider crowdfunding a release under an OSI license.

The bond market controls rates, but the fed sets the floor.

For example, if you believe we would had decades of a near zero federal funds rate, you might be willing to accept a 2% yield on a 30 year bond. But if you thought the long term federal funds rate was going to be 2%, you might want 4% or more on the long bond.

Imagine you have 100 square tiles that are each 1cm x 1cm. You can make 20 groups of 5 tiles each with them — this is what it means to say 20x5=100.

Now take each of your groups and arrange its 5 tiles into a vertical line. Each line is now 5cm long and 1cm wide.

Arrange the lines side by side. You now have a rectangle whose height is 5cm and whose width is 20cm. You already know its area 100 cm^2, because you made it out of 100 tiles that were 1 cm^2 each. And now you can see that its area also corresponds to the multiple of its side lengths.

When I have kids (or if I ever run a school somehow), I would give my kids hackable, terminal devices that could connect to the internet with work. Both sides are doing it suboptimally. The anti smart phone crowds are suppressing kids natural desire to look for learning and new experiences outside of taking exams. The smart phone crowds underestimate the power of these multi billion dollar addiction engines. The optimal solution is to work with the children's natural curiosity and provide them a runway to growth.

> You've got a requirement to reduce entropy but none to pack it back into energy dense fuel.

C'mon, this is laughable. What are we going to do with it? Fill-up massive balloons? Also, I have never suggested that the objective should be to pack it back into energy dense fuel.

You are trying to talk your way around violating the laws of physics. Look, it's OK if you want to believe this. However, this does not change reality. This is why every single so-called solution has failed and ultimately is discredited.

As I suggested to someone else. If you don't see the point, do this:

Go to the store and buy a 10 Kg bag of finely ground flour.

Walk around your office or home and start throwing flour everywhere. Coat every single surface and crevice with it. Make sure it goes into your TV, computer, air conditioning system, setup a few fans to blow it around.

Now go back and retrieve every single particle.

The time, energy and resources required is astronomical when compared to the damage you can cause in 30 to 60 minutes. Anyone with minimal critical thinking capacity can understand that it will take weeks, if not months, of a very serious effort and lots more energy to remove every grain of flour.

Note that there is no requirement to put it back into the bag. You can eat it, cook with it. I don't care. Yet, you must repair the damage you caused down to the last particle.

Are you suggesting you can clean the room/office using less time, resources and energy than that required to create the disaster? I hope not.

That's the problem.

You need to understand that small-scale hypothetical first.

Now expand it to a planetary scale, where you have CO2 floating around the atmosphere at all levels, over every continent and ocean. The mere suggestion that we can actually claw this back should be ridiculous to anyone who stops to really apply some thinking to this problem. It's a fantasy.
> We are making a difference.

No. We are not. And we cannot. That's the point. I realize this is uncomfortable for you to accept from your current understanding of the matter. It takes some effort and an open mind to get past the indoctrination and constant messaging before one can understand reality.

Not to get political, but this is a good example: Lost of us understood that Biden was in cognitive decline years ago. This was was obvious to anyone who could elevate themselves above the constant lies and manipulation from every politician and media source aligned with the "approved" messaging.

It was only when the lie was impossible to hide that everyone who used to lie and support him turned against him, instantly. At the time I used to say: They are not trying to pop him like a pimple. And that's what happened.

Same with this ridiculous fantasy of being able to affect climate change at any level. I don't care if the discussion is about keeping it as it is today or reversing it. This is is irrelevant. The entire idea is a fantasy.

I don't know how much longer it will take for the truth to come out. At some point researchers, politicians and those pushing this for financial gain will have no choice but to accept reality. When that happens, I hope everyone pounding me hard on this here has a moment of honesty and reflects on just how dumb they were to believe the lies they were sold. Today the cult is so strong and prevalent, particularly here on HN, that it is suicide to even dare speak one word in opposition. That's a sad reality with equally sad parallels in the political dishonesty we just witnessed in the US.

The reason I chose Vim over Emacs is simply because of the fact that it's available literally EVERYWHERE. I've honestly never seen a UNIX system which doesn't have Vi or Vim installed by default. Emacs is more hit and miss.
AIUI the jury is still out as to whether wider decoders are feasible with RISC-V's 16-bit and 32-bit split. It's specifically designed to ensure that insn lengths and positions can be decoded as easily as possible, without introducing overly inflexible notions such as VLIW-like "bundles".

2. The walled garden hardware and software that makes it nearly impossible to tinker and gain a deeper understanding of the magic behind the screen.

I am disappointed to see that you are relying on vague reasoning by analogy instead of thermodynamic calculations or empirical performance figures from currently existing carbon dioxide scrubber systems in this conversation. Generally you are more intellectually rigorous than this.

There are significant and relevant differences between carbon dioxide and flour for this purpose; for example, carbon dioxide is a gas and therefore diffuses continuously through the atmosphere, so a scrubber in a fixed location can eventually remove all of it, which is common practice in submarines and space stations. Also, the amount of energy obtained by burning carbon is orders of magnitude larger than, and actually the opposite sign from, the amount of energy obtained by scattering a similar mass of solid particles around, and this is relevant because you are specifically and explicitly comparing the energy consumed by the emission and capture processes.
That's interesting. To me it seems intuitive. It's a real area that can be drawn like any other. The sign is an operator describing what function to visualize, not a property of the measured area. So thinking of it in that way eliminates any need for the term "negative area."

But, intuition is subjective, so you may need to adjust the terminology to fit the visualization.
I don't understand why people downvote this comment. It is perfectly reasonable and we can assume with no doubt that AI based analyzers become much better in future in analyzing large code bases and discovering unhandled states, or deviations from specifications, or contradictions or specification gaps.
As mentioned by others, the article does not really tackle the question.
But it is an interesting question, and I think it would be great to have a language that you could adjust the safety without major rewrites. I.e. various degrees of strict modes.
At the times of LLMs, I wonder if anyone looked into some sort of sliding-scale transformation of code from safer, to easier to write. (although I am not sure there are good languages that are expressive enough for that).
Yes, the missing point is that you need to have the timing right as well.

Even if you are correct about the direction and magnitude of price movement, if you are wrong about how long it will take you can lose money. This is true for both short and long positions.

I can't understand why you put so much effort into trying to justify your position with irrelevant analogies. You've tried to dismiss my point with a single line. There are several techniques for sequestering co2 pretty permanently that don't involve turning it back into fuel. Go and research them and stop being so dogmatic.
When I talk with a person I can tell that they are intelligent and self-aware.

Claiming that self-awareness is unknowable concept is inherently unproductive.

And then I guess you're also missing the point that interpreting and writing the code also requires an expert and that in that respect it is no different than law. I could argue that engineering is more complex than interpreting law but that's not the point now. Subtleties and ambiguity are large in both domains. So, I don't see the point you're trying to make. We can agree to disagree I guess.
I don’t get the whole MISRA requirement that functions should only have one exit point. Honestly, nobody has been able to explain why this is important, other than it’s a historical anomaly inherited from FORTRAN. (Which was actually for a good reason)

> > There's a Vim mode in every single mainstream code editor out there.

Sadly, because of the unchecked proliferation of apps added to the software enterprise, this is not really true. A "modern" software organization probably has something like: Notion, Gdocs, Paper, Slack, Figma, Jira, and Github. If they have vim mode at all, (most don't) they require learning entirely new UI patterns for each app - the sheer waste is astounding. I'd love to be able to say "I've got a professional editing environment set up that's highly efficient for me to write both code and prose. Can I, like, use my tools and edit text?". But the answer is always "No - we must scatter our thoughts as far and wide using as many tools as possible!" The lack of a workable vim mode makes the problem worse.
Steve Jobs way (works if rich enough to live without smartphone)
C is unsafe by design, especially once you think about things like your code calling and being called by other code which you don’t develop. An IDE can only help so much unless what we’re saying is that you’re using it to convert logic into an actually-safe language like Rust.
It doesn't have to. But if it does not end in .py, you have to add the --script (or -s for short) flag to tell it to interpret the file as a python script.
