Early Google search only provided web links. Google Images, News, Video, Shopping, Maps, Finance used to be their own search boxes. Only later did Google start unifying their search experiences.

Yelp suffered greatly in the early 2010s when Google started putting Google Maps listings (and their accompanying reviews) in their search results.

OpenAI will eventually unify their products as well.

I did not say that golang apps require five times the amount of code as projects in other languages, I said that I need to read five times the amount of code to understand the high-level task that's being performed. And I would say I need to spend an equivalent amount of time processing and understanding the code that was being read. That is a real, serious cost when talking about maintenance.

The loop verbosity thing was just single obvious example and it's good that golang has finally gotten iterators (though their design is… weird IMO). But it's also only one of many, many issues underlying why go code is much more tedious to comprehend than code written in other HLLs.

Pretty standard, really.
> However, assertions that web apps are inherently inferior and that web apps are only written by people who couldn't bother to learn native technologies is at best ignorant and at worst lacking empathy with the requirements and constraints, and in turn with end users empowered with choice.

Well, "inferior" is always a subjective claim. The real problem with Electron, besides perhaps resource consumption, is that web apps are not native apps and native apps have all kinds of idioms, integrations, etc. A selling point of Electron is that it has "native menus." That's it. Just native menus.

They do not have, for example, proxy icons. They usually don't have system-wide services integration. They can't be automated with AppleScript. The print dialog are almost always weird, etc.

There are similar idioms on Gnome, KDE, etc. Think about header bars or Adwaita in Gnome. Or ssh filesystem support in KDE.

All these things make users more productive. If you really know your way around a desktop environment, and you know all the tricks, you can be massively productive with native apps. You'll never be similarly productive, however, with even the best Electron apps.

The mistake the author is making here is conflating a "good" app in isolation with a good app in a desktop environment. An Electron app which is an amazing app in isolation, with thoughtful design and efficient code and useful features, is always a bad app in any actual desktop environment. Putting an Electron app in MacOS or Gnome or KDE is like putting gummy bears in tacos or lasagna. Gummy bears are good. Tacos are good. But they don't belong together.

So where are Electron apps actually good? I'm guessing ChromeOS. Otherwise, they always kind of suck, even the $25k Electron apps at Bloomberg. And while I hesitate to make blanket statements, I have yet to use a single Electron app I actually want to use, ever. They're always, and this is without exception, garbage on any desktop environment I actually want to use. Full stop.

I've also noticed that with cGPT.

That said I often run into a sort of opposite issue with Claude. It's very good at making me feel like a genius. Sometimes I'll suggest trying a specific strategy or trying to define a concept on my own, and Claude enthusiastically agrees and takes us down a 2-3 hour rabbit hole that ends up being quite a waste of time for me to back track out of.

I'll then run a post-mortem through chatGPT and very often it points out the issue in my thinking very quickly.

That said I keep coming back to sonnet-3.5 for reasons I can't perfectly articulate. Perhaps because I like how it fluffs my ego lol. ChatGPT on the other hand feels a bit more brash. I do wonder if I should be using o1 as my daily driver.

I also don't have enough experience with o1 to determine if it would also take me down dead ends as well.

I wonder why that would be unlikely? Seems better to me to apply censorship at the training phase. Then the model can be truly naive about the topic, and there's no way to circumvent the censor layer with clever tricks at inference time.

The entire government was intended to have 3 competing branches keeping each other's desire for power balanced against one another.

Unfortunately, Duverger's Law (splitting votes results in your least favorite candidate winning) made it so that there were only two competing parties, each able to most effectively campaign by sabotaging the other. This kept going until one secured control over every branch, and their masters strong-armed enough support from the other party to finish the job against the protests of a few holdouts.

The founding fathers didn't have the math to understand game theory, nash equilibria, and the tragedy of the commons. They didn't know that plurality voting applied to the prisoner's dilemma would result in the worst suffering outcome for both/all participants.

If instead of voting for one candidate ({+1, 0, 0, ...}) we had used partial votes ({+1, +0.5, -0.5, 0, 0, ...} without repeating candidates or scores) with limited expressiveness (to preserve partisanship rather than creating a purity test like China's approval system creates) we could vote for the output of the decision matrix rather than just the blind, selfish inputs. This would prevent the states from being carved up into two parties, instead having 3-4 local parties available to represent each state more accurately and intelligently.

The benefits to representation, cooperation, constructiveness, and intelligence (creating win-win outcomes) would have been enormous. It would've meant far more proactive handling of long-term issues rather than short-term gains. Yet here we are.

What made America great was open, honest, constructive competition made possible by opportunity. What we face now is the destruction of competition itself, driving what remains underground, set to emerge in catastrophically destructive form.

By terrible API I mean GDB/MI that frontends use. I'm sure people will come try to defend it but the proof is in the pudding and I don't think it's a coincidence that every GDB frontend sucks.
You can also intercept the xhr response which would still stop generation, but the UI won't update, revelaing the thoughts that lead to the content filter:

['response', 'responseText'].forEach(prop => {
const orig = Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(XMLHttpRequest.prototype, prop);
Object.defineProperty(XMLHttpRequest.prototype, prop, {
get: function() { return filter(orig.get.call(this)); }
});

I'm finding a lot of these arguments to be disingenuous.

Much of the discussion is around "Meanwhile, most people trying to use cryptocurrency to improve financial inclusion aren’t even thinking about on-ramp problems." Kuhn is assuming an argument against a crypto purist who wants 100% crypto-to-crypto services and from there bringing up the real problem than there are not many cash<-->crypto services for people who need better inclusion. But, Kuhn is in exactly the position to provide that service and is choosing not to. Arguing that you don't want to provide crypto services because it's not inclusive because people aren't providing the service you could provide but choose not to because crypto is not inclusive because...

> These problems are solvable in principle, by using a stablecoin on a much more efficient blockchain. But that’s a whole lot of effort just to get the user experience back to the baseline that we’ve already built! And even once you’re there, it doesn’t seem like the blockchain has any meaningful advantages that are worth that cost.

Comes after arguing a strawman of "memorizing the exchange rate of fish to crypto" to say that the past few paragraphs are invalid and instead of building up the security of a literal money-vault Postgres database, the could have just built a secure key store for a stablecoin based service.

> For a technically sophisticated early adopter, the cryptocurrency pitch—“these algorithms guarantee that we can’t get your balance wrong, even if we’re malicious”—makes some sense. But a typical underbanked person in Senegal, who may not understand Merkle trees or Byzantine fault tolerance, might justifiably be skeptical. For us, it’s much more important to have more traditional markers of trust, like approval from bank partners, billboards in major cities, TV and radio ads, and so on.

This doesn't change regardless of what tech you use. The only difference is if the end goal of your marketing is "Trust me bro" or "You don't even need to trust me bro".
Just an amateur av-nerd, but from what I gather the army helicopter would have had a compatible TCAS, but TCAS won't issue instructions (RA / Resolution Advisory) below 1000 ft. Unclear what happens when one aircraft is above 1000 and one is below, but video seems to imply that the plane got an RA to immediately climb and did so, while presumably the helicopter just got a Traffic advisory without any required instruction to follow.
Everyone here seems to thing GDB is awful. It's been a while for me but I remember using front-ends like Eclipse's CDT or similar and didn't find that experience so bad. Do most people use GDB straight-up? I haven't done that in probably 15 years although it's nice to have a lightweight command line on small embedded systems.

Interesting.. In the official API [1], there's no way to prefill the reasoning_content:

> Please note that if the reasoning_content field is included in the sequence of input messages, the API will return a 400 error. Therefore, you should remove the reasoning_content field from the API response before making the API request

So the best I can do is pass the reasoning as part of the context (which means starting over from the beginning).

Airplane cockpits and avionics are an interesting case where complex inputs are required and, to a very great extent, touchscreens are not used but rather both physical controls and where multiple options are necessary, physical keyboards.

(There are instances of aviation-certified touchscreens, see "Thales integrated touchscreen becomes the world's first product of its kind to gain EASA certification" <https://onboard.thalesgroup.com/thales-integrated-touchscree...> (2019), used in the Airbus A350, also "FAA Approves Commercial Touch Screen Display" <https://aviationweek.com/business-aviation/faa-approves-comm...> (2015), for the Beechcraft King Air.)

One might think that auto manufacturers could learn from this.

There are limits to when and for how long you are allowed to close roads for specific purposes, just as there are limits to when and where you can launch rockets of specific sizes. SpaceX ignored the rules, and nobody enforces them despite the protests from residents of Boca Chica. Obviously the Texas government agrees with you that the law is whatever they choose to enforce, but there are still written rules.
Ive personaly been using Deepseek (which has been better than for 3.5 for a really long time), and Perplexity, which is nice for their built in search. Ive actually been using Deepseek since it was free. Its been generally good for me. Ive mostly chosen both because of pricing as I generally dont use APIs for extermely complex prompts.

Anyone can write very fast software if you don't mind it sometimes crashing or having weird bugs.

Why do people try to meme as if AI is different? It has unexpected outputs sometimes, getting it to not do that is 50% "more alignment" and 50% "hallucinate less".

Just today I saw someone get the Amazon bot to roleplay furry erotica. Funny, sure, but it's still obviously a bug that a *sales bot* would do that.

And given these models do actually get stuff wrong, is it really incorrect for them to refuse to help with things they might be dangerous if the user isn't already skilled, like Claude in this story about DIY fusion? https://www.corememory.com/p/a-young-man-used-ai-to-build-a-...

In exchange for being the world leader in spaceflight.

There aren't like, vast stretches of unprotected coastline they can pick from. It's ALL either protected or densely populated. If you want ANY spaceflight, you have to give somewhere, and this is essentially the only place in the continental US that works. If you say "not good enough" for Boca Chica, you're saying "no rockets can be developed in the continental US". Just be honest.

I'd rather the time taken enumerating the deficiencies of existing debuggers be spent building something better instead. I doubt many people that have used gdb/lldb need convincing that that's possible. If it is needed, Microsoft's windbg (far from what's possible but light years ahead of gdb/lldb) is a proof by construction.
We are discovering that enough of the electorate does not care when some politicians do it, so that the ideal is unenforceable, and I think it’s because of the media.
I believe part of the issue is lawmakers are still dazzled by tech and they over-assume it can improve things.

I think that's why we

1) have questionable, federal mandates for automatic breaking and
2) have feds who can't seem to associate distracted driver incidents with in-dash screens.

For the latter, preexisting bias against phones kills motivation to seek actual causes.
Battery fires are generally toxic and unextinguishable. That is the real problem. The pollution of water and air is too often overlooked when it comes to these fires, and the health risks associated with that very toxic crap are not well-understood.
Not surprising, and I expect more of this in the decade to come. It feels like we’re finally seeing companies begin to draw lines in the sand on where their interests actually lay: power (which Texas grants in spades), profit (which Delaware has historically protected), or values (in which case they would incorporate/move to a place that aligns with said values - of which vanishingly few companies do).

If anything, it’s kinda…helpful? As a consumer, I mean. If I see a company moving from CA to TX, well, that’s probably for reasons I have issue with, and therefore make it easier for me to not do business with them going forward.

If companies want to advertise their actual values so openly by reincorporating in another state, well, more power to them I guess.

I wish I’d included this in my initial response:

I am painfully aware of bitbake. I’ve probably written 3-400 recipes.

Most of them are about 20-30 lines long, because I refused to hide the compilation mess inside a recipe. I fixed the problem _before_ getting to the bitbake part. Most of my recipes at this point need only a repo name, the recipes are identical after that.
