>If you're a library author doing non-trivial type stuff

So what if I'm not a "library author", what I do could still be non-trivial, and I could still do it without typescript like people have been doing for decades before. Typescript is not the only strong-typing game in javascript town.

>But it's worth it because you're about to get a massive multiplier effect based on the scale of your user base.

Using typescript is not a causal factor for this. What the library does, and what people need is.

And honestly I don't care who is using a library I make, life isn't all about likes and it isn't a popularity contest.

I also really enjoyed the jump into Kotlin as well! That said, I'm also very happy with recent java versions trying very hard to close the gap. It does feel like at least half of Java's recent major lifts have been to emulate things done well in other languages (a great attribute for a self-aware language developer). I definitely never appreciated a lot of their newer feature choises like records until I saw them working really well in Kotlin data classes.

> Even if they provide the training set (which is not typically the case), you still have to take their word for it—that’s not really "verification."

If they've done it right, you can re-run the training and get the same weights. And maybe you could spot-check parts of it without running the full training (e.g. if there are glitch tokens in the weights, you'd look for where they came from in the training data, and if they weren't there at all that would be a red flag). Is it possible to release the wrong training set (or the wrong instructions) and hope you don't get caught? Sure, but demanding that it be published and available to check raises the bar and makes it much more risky to cheat.

This is exactly right. We can't use a camel on a book about Perl, but we can use our own version of a camel otherwise. However, there are a number of camels floating around and it would be great if we could all standardize on the same thing. This is an attempt to do that. We will see how it works out.

My estimate is that I've earned approximately $3/hour for the time I've spent doing so. And I was trading in such thinly traded options that it wasn't a matter of "scaling up" - I was literally only able to make money because I was picking up the pennies nobody else cared about.

(And/or trading on events that were were rare, obvious, and in an area I understood, which also doesn't scale)

In this day and age that seems increasingly like a solved problem to most end users, often a client-side issue or using a very old method of generating a PDF?

Modern PDF supports font embedding of various kinds (legality is left as an exercise to the PDF author) and supports 14 standard font faces which can be specified for compatibility, though more often document authors probably assume a system font is available or embed one.

There are still problems with the format as it foremost focuses on document display rather than document structure or intent, and accessibility support in documents is often rare to non-existent outside of government use cases or maybe Word and the like.

A lot of usability improvements come from clients that make an attempt to parse the PDF to make the format appear smarter. macOS Preview can figure out where columns begin and end for natural text selection, Acrobat routinely generates an accessible version of a document after opening it, including some table detection. Honestly creative interpretation of PDF documents is possibly one of the best use cases of AI that I’ve ever heard of.

While a lot about PDF has changed over the years the basic standard was created to optimize for printing. It’s as if we started with GIF and added support to build interactive websites from GIFs. At its core, a PDF is just a representation of shapes on a page, and we added metadata that would hopefully identify glyphs, accessible alternative content, and smarter text/line selection, but it can fall apart if the PDF author is careless, malicious or didn’t expect certain content. It probably inherits all the weirdness of Unicode and then some, for example.

> and for arithmetical statements, the system must necessarily be sound

Why do you say this? The AI doesn't know or care about soundness. Probably it has mathematical intuition that makes unsound assumptions, like human mathematicians do.

> How likely are each of these outcomes?

I think they'll all be true to a certain extent, just as they are for human mathematicians. There will probably be certain classes of extremely long proofs that the AI has no trouble discovering (because they have some kind of structure, just not structure that can be expressed in ZFC), certain truths that the AI makes an intuitive leap to despite not being able to prove them in ZFC (just as human mathematicians do), and certain short statements that the AI cannot prove one way or another (like Goldbach or twin primes or what have you, again, just as human mathematicians can't).
Is this effort benefiting everyone? I.e. where is it going / is it open source?
No, the resources diverted to people with "unviable financial beliefs" were done so in a proper market-efficient way, and would have been spent in perfectly ordinary ways no different from the average person of modest means, if it weren't for the scams.

Diverting people's resources to unproductive, antisocial scammers based on arbitrary educational criteria is the only "ruinous" thing in this picture. They are the economic inefficiency.

Maybe I just grew up poorer than you but it took longer than that in my world.

Yeah meanwhile some of us had to deal with a Zenith TV that would 'jump' with a PS1 and other consoles on the RF/AV output because 'lord knows why'.

> and semi-forced me to throw out a 21 inch IBM P275 I had because "it's using too much power".

Given the other context of your comments I doubt this is a confession of contribution of hubristic affluence contributing to our modern disposable society but I feel like this underscores the point I'm trying to make in my reply.

Resourceful not-well-off people used to really appreciate repairable things, and the worst thing C4C did was get rid of a lot of not-fuel-efficient vehicles that were at least cheap to repair.

The video of that TV and the pair further underscores it. Everything on decently laid out boards. Nowadays an LCD tv, sometimes a part can go bad and it's so integrated that even 15 years ago it could be a 30 min solder job, nowadays it's cuck the whole shebang.

> In any case I doubt any corporate (or rich household) owner of a 47 inch CRT back then would think too much about replacing it with a larger screen that took up less space. After all it's just another piece of asset that has depreciated to zero value on their books.

Corporate maybe but I'd guess any smart corporation would try to load the 'disposal' costs of a 440 pound object onto the taker somehow. Similar for any rich household that wanted to keep wealth for more than a generation or two.

CS department at my alma mater was very, very theoretical and we were encouraged to just write code in text editors.

> Their entire point is that Youtube already tried this, and that was found insufficient in court. So I’m sorry but your personally preferred reading of the DMCA means zilch.

YES. THANK YOU.

People should get it through their thick skulls that the *successful* appeal by Viacom is what caused this nightmare DMCA enforcement to be shoved down onto regular people. If the appeal had failed, YouTube wouldn't need to be this strict in their enforcement.

Viacom would've continued to appeal to the Supreme Court, but a straight line of failed appeals would have given YouTube much more leeway in how they handle DMCA Takedown requests. HOWEVER, *because* of the *successful* appeal, they HAD to be stricter to keep the law on their side.

All the idealism in the world is USELESS when it comes time to be in the courtroom. YouTube would've been SHUT DOWN if they had continued to be lax in their enforcement, and we would've NEVER had the video creator boom that we did have because YT continued to survive.

> The bot does the trivial things well

Clearly not, since all the answers were incorrect; two of them by an order of magnitude:

* 0.93((1.03)^1000) is 6.393E12, not 1.788E13

* 0.93((1.02)^1000) is 3.7E8, not 4.28E9

* 0.93*((1.01)^1000) is 19,492, not 19,482

...on a whim, I just tried asking ChatGPT "What would 93 cents accumulate to over 1000 years with 3% compound interest?", and the answer (179.74) was staggeringly wrong because it thought that 1.03^1000 was approximately 193.48.

It was originally discussed as a way of avoid null pointers,

I don't think this is true. I don't think it has anything to do with null pointers, it is a standard way to return a type that might not be constructed/valid.

I think you might be confusing the fact that you can convert std::optional to a bool and do if(opt){ opt.value(); }

You might also be confusing it for the technique of passing an address into a function that takes a pointer as an argument, where the function can check the pointer for being null before it puts a value into the pointer's address.

I'm going to be honest, saying that memory corruption in C++ is 'almost never a problem' just doesn't match with my experience,

In modern C++ it is easy to avoid putting yourself in situations where you are calculating arbitrary indices outside of data structures. Whether people do this is another story. It would (or should) crash your program in any other language anyway.

Also, that 'penalty' really does seem to be tiny

The penalty is not tiny unless it is elided all together, which would happen in the same iteration scenarios that in C++ wouldn't be doing raw indexes anyway.
> I firmly believe that for creativity to blossom you need to be able to get your idea out without fear of criticism and shame.

This section is, it seems to me, the linchpin of the "fun" argument. But you've been able to do that with all the other languages too, all this time. The much-loathed and feared Rust Evangelism Strikeforce doesn't actually come to your house and make you use a bunch of generic-heavy code from crates.io. The React people can't stop you from using vanilla Js. The worst they can really do is send you mean tweets, but Shaw thinks this is a lethal threat to his creativity, enough to switch language ecosystems over. For an article written in a superficially rebellious, lone-wolf tone, that's kinda sad.

Earlier in my career, I would often turn those features off. It was the late 1990s, and computers were much slower, and as a result, I didn't like the lag that some of those features would cause. As such, I learned to work without them.

These days of course computers have no issues. However, I've moved to a completely Docker Compose driven workflow, but for various reasons, I've run into issues getting LSPs etc working correctly. From time to time I'll take a stab at getting it working again, with some success, but rarely do I have that kind of free time (I typically work on small teams)

Try running it in daylight. Mine from Eufy is similar, has a flashlight, but good ambient light is superior.

Even if you move furniture around and drop it randomly in a different room it always finds its current location in less than a minute.
