You can do that in the US too. As well the banks won't like it, so what they'll do is protect their assets with force-placed insurance that you pay a hefty premium for.

A quick google suggests a similar situation in that there's no legal mandate but most lenders in NZ require insurance.
I haven’t thought about it at all but you’re right. It’s surprising how nice it is that I can enter a repo and `jj new main` without needing to remember any context whatsoever.

My post was a pretty naked attempt to showcase how much less convoluted basic operations are in jj vs. git and hopefully drum up some interest. Hopefully someone bites.
India has 270 languages with at least 10K speakers; Europe has ~200 languages. India has ~1.4B people; Europe has ~750M people. India has about ~2000 distinct ethnic groups; Europe has ~200.

> the debris was likely closer to around ~100km in altitude. Commercial airliners fly around ~10km in altitude

(Not wishing to ask the obvious, and depending on the size of the pieces) debris at 100km altitude pretty much always ends up being debris falling through 10km ... right?
Every new car has a SIM card. Apparently in Europe used for emergency automatic calls. But having SIM card in the car is not mandatory. All the information in other cases is saved in the car. And when you bring the car to the dealership the information is transferred over the wire in old fashioned way. Safest thing is to have an older car without much electronics, that can be repaired outside dealership network. Some cars like a Teslas have very normal cameras filming interior. Apparently to monitor the driver. But who knows.

Crashes are another thing, cars going 100 mph here is probably proportionally the same as the people trying to take that at 30 km/h. The streetview of the location makes it even worse than I thought especially looking at the history of the spot.

Lit is amazing. But I don't like template strings for HTML. The IDE doesn't understand it automatically, and lit jsx had a bunch of issues last time I tried to use it.

In my view, JSX will be the true legacy of React. Applications are code. Many frameworks (such as htmx) extend HTML to bring a bit of programmability into it; but I felt they were just framework-specific, non-standard rules to learn. JSX is more standardized, and isn't as framework dependent.

Shameless plug: Magic Loop [1], a Lit alternative (that nobody knows about) which uses WebJSX [2] underneath.

Sounds exactly like my experience with the “agents” about a year ago. Autogpt or whatever it was called. Works great 1% of the time and the rest it gets stuck in the wrong places completely unable to back out.

I’m now using o1 or Claude Sonnet 3.5 and usually one of them gets it right.

Well.. that’s debatable and obviously not conclusive. Opportunity costs, not direct effectiveness is a bigger concern.
It says right there in your source that that figure refers to Falcon in particular. For comparison, Starship's current track record is 3/7 launch failures (+1 landing failure).

There's an order of magnitude difference between them. If they were cars, it'd be like comparing the smallest car you can think of vs one of the biggest tanks ever made.
I've definitely struggled with this trying to do generalized stuff with colors in game visuals and UI. Using a color space like cielab or okhsl helps some but it's tough to come up with values/formulas that work just as well for red as they do for yellow, blue and purple.

I do it from time to time. Usually just some short notes, but it's not the same for me. I like to write on a machine, maybe because I'm typing on a computer keyboard for a long time. But I do enjoy writing with hand more nowadays. Few years ago I've noticed that I do not write with hand at all, everything was on a computer. So it feels good. Combination of handwriting and typewriter works fine for me. Sometimes, when I don't have note besides me, I write some thought on the phone, because I will forget it otherwise.
It's not. China's local companies routinely outcompete foreign ones because they understand their local market better and they're gaining high level skills. Chinese companies also move drastically faster.

Huawei was on its way to dominating smart phones world wide in 2019 until the Trump ban. It's just making a comeback.
The government banned insurance companies from raising prices. They used tax payer money to subsidize this for a while which increase home prices. Eventually insurance companies stopped offering insurance.

When state actors even dabble in socialism disasters happen people die.
Naive answer, but I think this exists and is called the FAIR plan. See here: https://stateline.org/2025/01/16/california-fires-show-state...
What you describe is the state of most devops.

Copy / download some random piece of code, monkey around to change some values for your architecture and up we go. It works! We don't know how, we won't be able to debug it when the app goes down but that's not our problem.

And that's how you end up with bad examples or lack of exhaustive options in documentations, most tutorials being a rehash of some quickstart and people tell you "just use this helm chart or ansible recipe from some github repo to do what you want". What those things really install? Not documented. What can you configure? Check the code.

Coming from the dev world it feels like the infrastructure ecosystem still lives in a tribal knowledge model.
This is largely the work of Lina Khan and the people reporting to her. She's fairly new to the FTC still (Biden appointee) and has been intentionally pushing on all of this.

Protecting it is difficult since the house/senate and scotus are all determined to roll back pro-consumer laws but that's not really something the FTC can fix, only voters can fix that.

Voters don't seem to see these things as important though based on how they voted most recently. They have other priorities I suppose.
Lmao. They were too cartoonish in their villainous behavior.
When you point out that, for example, health insurance profits are low
single digit percentage of overall healthcare costs they just don’t
believe it.

Or they see that as a cute bit of misdirection. Profits are capped as a percentage of healthcare costs, sure. Healthcare costs are not capped. Drive up the cost of care, drive up the profits.

You ever think it's curious that for-profit insurance companies pay out 2–3x what Medicare does for the same procedures?
We learn better from our own mistakes
For the harder Euler problems you usually need a combination of mathematical insight and good coding technique. Each problem typically provides sample values for smaller instances of the problem, which you can confirm with a straightforward solution approach. Then the actual problem will be to calculate f(10^500) or some absurd value that requires insight to make tractable. They are extremely good challenges overall.
I'm curious how the roof is constructed on your cinder block house. That kind of cinder block construction seems obviously superior to me, but I can't think of any roof that would be so obviously superior.
By eliminating personalization you’re doing the same thing - removing price as a signal.

It’s good when insurers personalize! Install screens to prevents embers from entering roof vents? Great. You should get a discount!

It’s a win-win. Consumers are incentivized to take measures to reduce risk.
For me as a consumer, whether they’re selling it or giving it away for free or expose it via a data breach, the impact on me is the same. All three deserve fines and jail time for executives. It is strange to me that attention is given to this data but not to the leaking of medical records of literally over 100 million Americans by Change Healthcare last year (a subsidiary of United Health). Most of those victims never were customers of Change or United, but somehow their records were with this company.
Now is the time for us to hold seemingly contradictory propositions: A child born today will live to see 99% of all computer code written by artificial intelligence, but the current AI boom is massively overcapitalized.
Thanks, added context.
It's probably more common among self-taught programmers (and I say that as one myself). Most go through the early stage of copying chunks of code and seeing if they work. Maybe not blindly copying it, but still copying code from examples or whatever. I know I did (except it was 25 years ago from Webmonkey or the php.net comments section rather than StackOverflow). I'd imagine formally-educated programmers can skip some (though not all) of that by having to learn more of the theory at first.

Sorry, just did that test - it is 1075, not massive, I would risk saying that may be major issue of this lib.

Here is the code:

let left = 0, right = 1

let rightPrevious = 2

let counter = 0;

while (right > left && right < rightPrevious) {

rightPrevious = right;

right /= 2;

counter++

}

console.log(counter)

Did look very briefly into repo, but didn't find a place where it is handled and don't have time to dig it, but if that issue is true I may help with resolving it. LMK
That's where you'd like your solution engine to be able to tell you how to get the solution it is giving you. Something good answers on Stack Overflow will do: links to the relevant documentation, steps you can go through to get a better diagnostic of your problem etc.

Get the fire lit with the explanation of where to get wood and how to light it in your condition so next time you don't need to consult you solution engine.
That's a page load, not a frame render.

Also, due to layouting, a CRUD app may actually be harder to optimize per frame, than the trivial to parallelize many triangle case as seen in games.

Success rate isn’t a great metric for efficient initial work: it will keep improving as more launches are done, regardless of the initial work.
To nitpick there is not quite such a thing as "ARM64", instead there's:

- Aarch64, the execution state

- A64, the instruction set

- ARMvX, the vX of the architecture, both of the above were introduced in ARMv8

ARM64 is kind of a loose umbrella term that might or might not have been officially retconned.

Why is that? Because ARM specifications are modular, so for each vX there are mandatory and optional set of features.

I have enjoyed pretty much all of David Lynch's work. A particular standout for me is episode 8 of Twin Peaks season 3, titled "Got a Light?" - for my money the greatest TV episode ever, an incredible high cultural landmark. In one breathtaking sequence David Lynch uses Krzysztof Penderecki's "Threnody to the Victims of Hiroshima", which depicts the Trinity atomic bomb test. The piece, composed in 1961 for 52 string instruments, mirrors the destruction and chaos of the atomic bomb detonation. Lynch used the composition during the startling sequence tracking into the heart of the nuclear test's mushroom cloud. https://youtu.be/vYg8nos8SdA?feature=shared

At the beginning of this year i had some reflection on projects at two clients. While the businesses of both clients is vastly different, they were kinda using the same setup: One business critical system. The rest was mostly standard stuff and both companies are about the same size.

Client 1 contacted us by phone they needed to upgrade their IT. The appointed account manager and project leader had no clue of the clients business. The approval of the project took about two months. Engineering was involed after the approval. The project took more than a year, mostly because of communication chaos on both sides. Everybody was annoyed.

Client 2 contacted us by email they needed to upgrade their IT. The appointed account manager emailed engineering. After some emailing back and forth for a couple of days, both parties agreed on the project details. The approval of the project took about fifteen minutes. The project took about a month. We got cake.
I think this Iron Maiden argument is best explained on the article, specifically on the section about the design engineering problem.
Great! I’ll send you an email now.
One thing that surprised me a little is that there doesn't seem to be an "ask for help" escape hatch in it - it would work away for literally days on a task where any human would admit they were stuck?

One of the more important features of agents is supposedly that they can stop and ask for human input when necessary. It seems it does do this for "hard stops" - like when it needed a human to setup API keys in their cloud console - but for "soft stops" it wouldn't.

By contrast, a human dev would probably throw in the towel after a couple of hours and ask a senior dev for guidance. The chat interface definitely supports that with this system but apparently the agent will churn away in a sort of "infinite thinking loop". (This matches my limited experience with other agentic systems too.)
Six Weeks From AGI – new "extraordinarily realistic" release
And yet, it's not as clear cut as that. There is some hardwired stuff in our brains (see e.g. the "bouba / kiki" effect [0]) but most people will agree that what is considered pretty, good, etc is cultural, not to mention changing over time - like architecture trends as mentioned elsewhere in this thread, but also painting styles.

That said, a few posts back a commenter mentioned that the Mona Lisa is "objectively better" than anything they made; while I won't comment on aesthetics and appreciation, the assertion that the artist is more skilled in the arts than the poster is something definitely objectively true, simply because of education and experience. That's no guarantee that the outcome is better, but still.

Yes, and I think the mistakes that LLMs commonly make are less problematic than Stack Overflow. LLMs seem to most often either hallucinate APIs, or use outdated ones. They're easier to detect when they just don't work. They're not perfect, but seem less inclined to generate the bad practices and security holes that are the bread and butter of Stack Overflow. In fact they're pretty good at identifying those sort of problems in existing code.
Disclosure: Working on a company in the space and have recently been compared to Devin in at least one public talk.

Devin has tried to do too much. There is value in producing a solid code artifact that can be handed off for review to other developers in limited capacities like P2s and minor bugs which pile up in business backlogs.

Focusing on specific elements of the development loop such as fix bugs, add small feature, run tests, produce pull request is enough.

Businesses like Factory AI or my own are taking that approach and we're seeing real interest in our products.

LLMs can create infinite worlds in the error message it’s receiving. It probably needs some outside signal to stop and re-assess. I don’t think LLMs have any ability to reason if they’re lost in their own world on their own. They’ll just keep creating new less and less coherent context for themselves
It's currently impractical to get optical waveguides to perform comparable to the state of the art for electronics. Optical waveguides are the equivalent of a wire on a chip.

Intel 4 "fin and minimum metal pitch of 30 nm" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5_nm_process - keep in mind, the actual channel is about half that. 15 nm photons are at the extreme end of UV, which is hard enough. But what really kills photonics miniaturization is the diffraction limit. The photons scatter in every direction.

My insurance was cancelled but I don’t blame the insurer at all.

CA regulation basically capped their premium increase and my insurer did calculations that said “this is a net negative business”.

I think one of the big problems with Devin (and AI agents in general) is that they're only ever as good as they are. Sometimes their intelligence feels magical and they accomplish things within minutes that even mid level or senior software engineers would take a few hours to do. Other times, they make simple mistakes and no matter how much help you give, they run around in circles.

A big quality that I value in junior engineers is coachability. If an AI agent can't be coached (and it doesn't look like it right now), then there's no way I'll ever enjoy using one.
We're bad at so very many things while thinking we're the best at everything.
Alquiler de Equipos de Topopografia
I know - old man yells at cloud and stuff - but some 8-bit home computers from the 80s completed their entire boot sequence in about half a second. What does a 'UI rendering engine' need to do that takes half a second on a device that's tens of thousands of times faster? Everything on modern computers should be 'instant' (some of that time may include internet latency of course, but I assume that the Shopify devs don't live on the moon).

What worries me about space innovation is the fact that there is such little margin for error. Materials are being stressed so much while trying to defy the laws of physics that the smallest angle error, the smallest pressure mismatch, smallest timing error, and boom. This did not happen when we were inventing cars, trains and air planes. Now imagine these risks, while you're halfway to mars. Is it possible that we just have no found/invented the right materials or the right fuel/propulsion mechanism to de-risk this, and that is where we should be allocating a lot more resources?
If you want "solidarity" you need a government service. Private insurance has every incentive to price things accurately and not subsidize higher-risk people. If you tell insurance companies what they have to charge, they have every reason to say "nope, I don't want to offer that service at that price, that doesn't make economic sense".
More like make you servers publicly inaccessible rather than delete them. Or throttle bandwidth. Or provide a warning when the cap is approaching. Etc.
I think this actually reveals the key misunderstanding. In a properly designed system, most of your codebase becomes CSS - often 90% or more when it comes to content-heavy websites written in Nue. The JavaScript handling pure functionality, HTML expressing semantic structure, and CSS doing the heavy lifting of systematic design and relationships.

This isn't separating technologies - it's letting each part focus on its core concern. HTML focuses on content structure and meaning. JavaScript handles true interactivity. And CSS becomes the primary engine for both design and sophisticated functionality through modern features like container queries, custom properties, and view transitions.

This natural separation produces systems that are both more powerful and dramatically smaller than JavaScript monoliths. The sophistication comes from systematic relationships, not artificial coupling.
