I agree to all your points but the stat stands out in particular:

> 762 vs 20k hits

That's impressive! I guess the difference is smaller here in Berlin as we have a lot of rails shops, but internationally speaking, your stat might well be representative. There might also be less competition in the Ruby job market, but perhaps not to such a degree to offset the difference in job numbers.

In the end, Python is probably the safer and more career friendly option, especially if you're interested in AI. However, if you enjoy coding, Ruby is IMHO the top choice to maximize this enjoyment. I don't think it's the second coming, but there's no other commonly used language where you can do things as easily and so without bending to any limits of the language. The downside of this power is that you're never done learning about it. Maybe people who are drawn to coding as a hobby are more likely to enjoy Ruby than those with more of a separation between work and private interests.
Not sure where to start here. You could have found Honey advertised basically anywhere on the internet, not just YouTube. YouTube users are common across most of the developed world at this point, so it's probable that there are millions of YouTube users that are more intelligent than you or me. And what you said implies you do differing levels of due diligence for the services you sign up for depending on the platform you heard about them from, which is ill advised; regardless of where one found out about Honey, you should have questions about how their business works. Someone who has been around the block a couple times would have deduced that a business that clips coupons for you is doing something to make money, and since it's not obvious what that thing is, it's almost certainly something shady.
The Best Books I Read This Year
My test for LLMs (mainly because I love cooking): "Give me a recipe for beef bourguignon"

Half the time I get a chicken recipe...
Ironically, Musk is sane-washed by mainstream pundits of a particular flavor (eg Joe Rogan, Tucker Carlson). The only reason someone would think the distaste of Musk's actions are because of "MSM narratives" would be because they get all of their information filtered through the narratives of the aforementioned influencers. Worth noting that their reach nowadays is far higher than traditional news networks like CNN.
LLMs = ad-free version of google

That's why people adopted it. Google got worse and worse, now the gap is filled with LLMs.

LLMs have replaced google, and that's awesome. LLMs won't cook lunch or fold our laundry, and until a better technology comes around which can actually do that all promises around "AI" should be seen as grifting.
On the other hand, a lot of big tech is solving the same sorts of problems over and over.

Someone could be working on instant messaging or a/v conferencing for the past 30 years. Or anything in sales and advertising. Etc.

tbh i'm in the same state, actually working in a PoC architecture to stress the theory (https://github.com/PRDeving/MMO).

Regarding DBs...MMOs don't rely on them that much, it's safe to have everything in memory and persiste from time to time, and if it goes down, you just pull the backup and are good to go.
Why people over the age of 55 are the new problem generation
They are commutative. As to whether unification and association are the same thing... yes, kinda. Unifying two terms kinda means associating them with each other in a database. Though I will say that it would have been better to say 'unifies x and z, as well as y and 3'.
Once you get high up in the market signaling starts to matter a lot.

A lot of people have a Toyota Tacoma and a commuter sedan in their driveway because they didn't like the image of daily driving an F150 despite the latter yielding comparable results for less hassle (and probably less money).

> you have to control for (a) sports and (b) expensive cars.

Fair. But the opposite is also true...Porsche 911 and 718 are both 9% and 17% depreciation values respectively, which bring the overall averages down too. Not to mention the Model S is #19 in worst depreciation. So there are a lot of factors at play other than simply saying "just eliminate all sports/expensive cars"

> The Model 3 is shown to have a 42.9% 5-year depreciation, around the category average for SUVs.

You first made a point about comparing apples to oranges (which was fair) and then compared apples to oranges to make another same point. /headscratch

You would have to compare a Model 3 to a sedan, not an SUV. Point is, if EVs are as valuable as people make them out to be and the demand is so high for them, then why isn't the used car market telling us that?
The ads will come and they'll need to be an order of magnitude worse to make llms profitable.
During a 1.75-year-long severe, debilitating depression in 2014-2015 I found the only thing I could read with any comprehension at all was the Aubrey-Maturin novels. They were a wonderful respite from an otherwise devastatingly terrible time in my life. Highly recommend you try them if you find yourself in similar straits.
Because we, as a society, have decided that lying should be effectively mandated and there should be no punishment for it in general. It's not just a few businesses, it's practically all of them. As a rule, an honest businessman can't make enough money to survive while being undercut by everyone else.
In the UK, home ownership is the great differentiator. In my experience, it is much more extreme than in other places.
You don't need H1B for citizenship. Applying for EB2 green card is not dependent on work visas. However, most companies only sponsor green cards after the worker passes the H1B lottery.

Unless you have no kids or grandkids to think of, it really matters.

Government or not, even companies are made up of people. People with family.

That is what baffles me. It's like saying "meh, our kids aren't worth the effort".

Sure, the C-suite can probably ensure their kids are adequately housed and educated to make their way in a more hostile and broken world. But what about the rest of them? And will there be enough residual wealth to shelter the grandkids, too?
What issues do you find he is extreme on?
Agree Vite/react is a great choice too.
Both UUIDv3 and UUIDv5 are prohibited for some use cases in some countries (including the US), which is something to be aware of. Unfortunately, no one has created an updated standard UUID that uses a hash function that is not broken. While useful it is not always an option.

Software is arbitrary. Any so-called "guarantee" is only as good as the developers and organizations maintaining a piece of software want to make it regardless of prior statements. At some point, the practical likelihood of a documented, but not guaranteed, process being violated vs. the willful abandonment of a guarantee start to look very similar.... at which point nothing saves you.

Sometimes the best you can do is recognize who you're working with today, know how they work, and be prepared for those people to be different in the future (or of a different mind) and for things to change regardless to expressed guarantees.

....unless we're talking about the laws of physics... ...that's different...
If your employer can run their companies without employees in the future it also means you can have your own company with no employees.

If anything this will level the playing field, and creativity will prevail.

> You would have to compare a Model 3 to a sedan, not an SUV

My point is that EV has a depreciation rate comparable to that of a popular automobile category. We wouldn't conclude adversely against SUVs for that number; we similarly shouldn't for the Model 3.

> if EVs are as valuable as people make them out to be and the demand is so high for them

The drumbeat of the last year has been about flagging demand for EVs. Who is saying demand is so high?
I haven’t seen Mufasa, but “This is the Thanks I Get” was a pretty good villain song. The best part of Wish (maybe the only good part?). So it’s not like they’ve forgotten how to do them. Sometimes a bad song is just a bad song, and not indicative of a change.
It is not valid to use the number of workers got laid off vs the number of new H1B visas applied in the same company to argue that foreign labor is replacing US workers. You just don't know how many H1B owners are laid off.
That's actually related to how the name came about, IIRC!
> vs. FDE with a boot key stored in some cloud service secured with the user's password instead of a TPM

Without secure boot (backed by TPM), I can boot a small USB device that has LEDs on it to indicate to me that the target system has been infected to send me a copy of the target's password, after I already imaged the disk (or when I have another team member steal it or take it by force later).

If there's a UEFI password to access UEFI settings, I can reset it in under 20 minutes with physical access. Some tamper-evident tape on the laptop casing may stop me if I haven't already had a resource intrude into the target's home/office to have some replacement tamper-evident sticker material ready. Very very few places, even some really smart ones, make use tamper-evident material. Glitter+glue tamper-evident seals are something I can't spoof though.

It's not that hard to get into a hotel room. Often enough if a business books a hotel for you it's because they want access to your laptop while you're at lunch with another employee who so kindly suggests to leave your backpack in the hotel room.

Unlikely. LLMs only understand the code they're looking at, but not in the context of the complex interactions. E.g. LLMs won't understand how a particular line of code fixed a system outage that occurred last year.
Trump, Musk, the Speaker, and Fox News are running with both Vegas and New Orleans events being the result of open borders, despite both perpetrators being American citizens.

Is it fair to say this kind of distortion is typical MAGA? Typical Republican? Is it decent? Why lie?

Fox initially ran with a story the NOLA truck illegally crossed the border with Mexico. This disinformation is intentional, no one is this incompetent. They know their demographic wants to be lied to. Disinformation is the product they're selling. Same with the politicians.
...because it appears to read as "the people" collectively as part of a regulated militia...

I'm not sure why anybody thinks a reading like that is plausible. I guess if you think of "militia" as a synonym for "army", it makes sense; but that's not how militia actually worked. If the 2nd Amendment had only been intended to protect a public or collective right to bear arms, it would have protected almost nothing and would not have prevented the militia from being disarmed.

There is a lot to say here but, in a nut shell, there was an obligation to be armed if one was in a militia, but there was no obligation to be in a militia if one was armed. There was no permit to purchase system or anything like that: the militia relied on ubiquitous availability of arms and ammunition in the private market. Although there were some town armories and magazines, this is not where the majority of service weapons were located -- the majority were in people's homes, as private property (property which they bought with their own money, retained when they aged out of service, and passed down in their estates).

This was a long standing institution in English society, having its roots in the 1181 Assize of Arms. I mean, it's not impossible that the founders were not thinking about this when they wrote the amendment; but it doesn't seem very plausible. If we consider how the militia actually worked, the militia aspect of the amendment and the private right aspect are aligned with each other.

>Most code does not live for a long time.

Sure, and here I am in a third company doing cloud migration and changing our default DB from MySQL to SQL server. The pain is real, 2 year long roadmap is now 5 years longer roadmap. All because some dude negotiated a discount on cloud services. And we still develop integrations that talk to systems written for DOS.
Maybe the situation only sucks on OS X. On Linux you could hopefully swap it out with a new one on build, and it isn't based on WebKit which is slow to support lots of stuff. Either way, I think perhaps Tauri should provide a way to optionally use its own build of the rendering engine and a preset/example configuration that uses the included one for the platforms that are up to date and its own build of a rendering engine for OS X and possibly Linux.

Here is how I use Claude for cooking:

"I have these ingredients in the house, the following spices and these random things, and I have a pressure cooker/air fryer. What's a good hearty thing I can cook with this?"

Then I iterate over it for a bit until I'm happy. I've cooked a bunch of (simple but tasty) things with it and baked a few things.

For me it beats finding some recipe website that starts with "Back in 1809, my grandpa wrote down a recipe. It was a warm, breezy morning..."
I know that I am in the minority in these parts.

But I'm glad to see these banks pull out of these net-zero related efforts. For me, and again I know I'm in the minority here, net-zero puts a huge cramp on productivity and building out what we need for civilization. These net-zero aren't progressive - they are regressive.

What we need is build. To drill. To create. For that, we need all the energy sources we can pull from. Fossil. Nuclear. And yes, solar and wind too. Hydro. Net-zero is what will pull down everyone.

But our worldviews are radically different here.
Do you mean the nickname that William Randolph Hearst gave to his mistress Marion Davies' clitoris?

>There's also a more controversial interpretation rooted in gossip about Orson Welles and screenwriter Herman J. Mankiewicz. Some suggest "Rosebud" was a private joke referring to the pet name for a part of William Randolph Hearst's mistress Marion Davies' anatomy, making it a subtle jab at the powerful media mogul who inspired Kane.

one thing that frustrates me about current ChatGPT is that it feels like they are discouraging you from generating another reply to the same question, to see what else it might say about what you're asking. before, you used to be able to just hit the arrow on the right to generate a reply, now it's hidden in the menu where you change models on the fly. why'd they add the friction?

Of course. But not enough to sustain Tesla's growth requirements. (The same would be true if Musk came out as a leftist.)

Mass-market brands practically have to be anodyne. Alienating any significant customer group undercuts the economies of scale.

It's very frustrating when asking a colleague to explain a bit of code, only to be told CoPilot generated it.

Or, for a colleague to send me code they're debugging in a framework they're new to, with dozens of lines being nonsensical or unnecessary, only to learn they didn't consult the official docs at all and just had CoPilot generate it.

:(

> Getting the cheapest product always means worse quality.

Not true. New entrants to markets often will price to undercut markets (see Uber and Airbnb in their early days). Also loss leaders are a very much a thing.

Over time markets do typically stabilize and this could be true.

I hate to break it to you, but the political machinations of the richest person in the world will *and should* be high profile news.
