It's bi-directional. In recent years, C# has gained destructuring, collection initializers, tuples, and a few other niceties.

JS/TS are missing expression matching that C# gained, but there's a proposal for it for JS. C# is missing discriminated unions, but there's a proposal in process for it.

I disagree vehemently. For any active language, distro packages should be at most 3 years old.

I'm not sure how relevant that is to air traffic control. They don't work from home, they are heavily performance and standards based to even get a chance at joining, and there is no clear reason to assume to automatically exclude the air traffic control portion of the FAA from what's described in #3.

The US federal government is one of the largest employers in the world (or the largest, depending exactly how you decide to measure), what is relevant to one area isn't necessarily going to be relevant to every area.
U.S. Department of Education to Enforce 2020 Title IX Rule Protecting Women
I mean… Men are faster than women in the general case. It’s not really up for debate— it’s grounded in biological differences. Testosterone is essentially a steroid that women are not working with. There is a clear divide in the competition at all levels of the sport to facilitate this and promote a fair level of competition.

The ultra marathoning statistics are fine, but they also have significantly smaller viewership and uptake in the general population. Consequently, it’s more of the Wild West, and as a result, I don’t think it accurately reflects the global running scene.
The point is: there isn't a "right" way. That's exactly what the author is trying to say. By failing to recognize the ways in which they were different, they forced a mode upon them and here we are. A whole medicalized generation addicted to stimulants trying to fit in where in past generations you had artists and rebels and seekers and every other kind of misfit that made life interesting and unique and challenging to the status quo.
Of course I agree with you, but is it that complicated?

There’s a cynical, non actionable POV: “people want immediate gratification” or “it’s all marketing” or “security theatre” or whatever.

Another is: “what design for airline safety gives laypeople the aesthetic experience of safety that also aligns with real safety?”

That’s hard! You can’t just rely on the invisible hand of a market to create that. Someone still needs to go and do it.

I’ve never once read a suggestion for an alternative to the TSA for example. I’m sure people have written whole PhDs about this. Give them a voice. You’re already talking to a very literate audience. Go for it.
> Fast enough wasn't a concern during the period of neglect, so a sense of urgency is playacting.

I can’t agree with that at all. I would never treat a crisis as less urgent because other people in the past did not treat the contributory factors urgently enough.

Lack of urgency in the past is a sunk cost. It’s silly to evaluate urgency today on that basis.

While I personally don't find much value in this particular page:

The entire point is to move past the failed current model, which is based on disproven concepts from the pseudoscientific management theory of last century.

Possibly an accessible but distant enough to abstract away implementations and focus on the concept is Toyota’s Principles of Set-Based Concurrent Engineering.

The SOP based method, with strict enforcement of incomplete, inappropriate, and insufficient security theater for compliance at the cost of security model will always fail.

The specific products don't matter as you mentioned above.

> a constellation of security products, rather than open source protocols, etc

Those are implementation details, not a security strategy Using guardrails and runways will potentially help move past this problem, but only if people get on board with accepting that adapting and adjusting those implementation details is important to achievement of actual security.

It is horses for courses and which horse you choose absolutely depends on context. The correct product or protocol should arise through what an org learns, one shouldn't try to force the org to fit a particular vendor/framework model.

There are mathematical reasons for this, but malicious compliance is another example of how the existing model simply just fails.

Yes and no. A lot of them are low value, but there are some that have been hugely useful to me, either examples of how to do things, or tools that I now use regularly, or posts that have made me view problems I’m trying to solve through another lens.

It’s a hot topic and so of course there are going to be a lot of posts. A few years back there were lots of blockchain posts.

I think anyone could pick a topic to which they feel a certain level of antipathy and build a case that there are too many posts of that type.
I remember Dr Gabor Mate mentioning how ADHD is from childhood traumas and upbringing and it resonates with me.

For me, it was a combination of my parents authoritarian parenting, and authoritarian school/environment, where teachers never checked in with me to see how I was doing.

Psychedelics was the only thing that helped me, and I haven’t taken prescribed medications in over 10 years since my powerful experience which physically helped me feel love and safety for the first time; things I never experienced at home.

More experiences with Ayahuasca over the past several years have helped me fully process most, if not all the traumas I remember (also helped me remember the ones I forgot!) and I’m now in a much better place mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually.

As a result, I think its fully possible to be neurodivergent without having disorders
This is all true. But I don't think in London, Paris or Amsterdam you have military helicopters doing training flights at night, across the landing and departures tracks of a busy civilian airport. Specially when they dont even share the same frequencies and have to rely on visual cues...
My guess is that, at companies where there really is a from-the-top mandate, the manager probably has very little flexibility. That said, even pre-COVID, I'm aware of companies that really didn't want even very senior (and well-known) folks to work remotely and eventually parted ways whereas they seemed to be OK with others who didn't work out of an office.

Yes, it seems we've only recently passed the point where these models are extremely impressive but still not good enough to really be useful, to now being actual time savers for doing quite a few everyday tasks.

The AI companies seem to be pushing AI-assisted software development as an early use case, but I've always thought this is one of the more difficult things for them to become good at, since many/most development tasks require both advanced reasoning (which they are weak at) and ability to learn from experience (which they just can't do). The everyday, non-development tasks, like "take this photo of my credit card bill and give me category subtotals" are where the models are now actually useful, but software development still seems to be an area where they are highly impressive but ultimately not capable enough to be useful outside of certain narrow use cases. That said, it'll be interesting to see how good these reasoning models can get, but I think that things like inability to learn (other than in-context) put a hard limit on what this type of pre-trained LLM tech will be useful for.
Not for zstd or lzma
We finally enter an era where the demand for more memory is really needed. Small local ai models will be used for many things in the near future. Requiring lots of memory. Even phones will be in the need for terabytes of fast memory in the future.
Roberts will go down in history as a worse Justice than Taney for this.
> Thing that I don't understand about LLMs at all, is that how it is possible to for it to "understand" and reply in hex (or any other encoding), if it is a statistical "machine"

It develops understanding because that's the best way for it to succeed at what it was trained to do. Yes, it's predicting the next token, but it's using its learned understanding of the world to do it. So this it's not terribly surprising if you acknowledge the possibility of real understanding by the machine.

As an aside, even GPT3 was able to do things like english -> french -> base64. So I'd ask a question, and ask it to translate its answer to french, and then base64 encode that. I figured there's like zero chance that this existed in the training data. I've also base64 encoded a question in spanish and asked it, in the base64 prompt, to respond in base64 encoded french. It's pretty smart and has a reasonable understanding of what it's talking about.
Could you stream the raw tokens into a server side filter which then streams censored tokens at near real time?
I was only addressing this part: "and still have a job".

Clearly well audited code is likely safer.

I just don't think that screwing that up will definitely lead to most being fired.
> But in non trivial cases, the parameter can be passed all over the place

Like pretty much any parameter in any language? That's abstraction.

Re jsonStringfy, that's a way for a type to control how its own instances are serialized as JSON. std.json.stringify doesn't depend on the details of a jsonStringfy implementation (nor a caller of std.json.stringify). A type being able to implement a method to customize how instances of the type are serialized is a common/typical feature of a lot of JSON serializers.
A 4x improvement over lzma is an extraordinary claim. I see the author has also given a result after applying lrzip (which removes long-range redundancies in large files), and the difference isn’t so great (but bzip3 still wins). Does the amazing result without lrzip mean bzip3 is somehow managing to exploit some of that long-range redundancy natively?

I’d be astonished if such a 4x result generalized to tarballs that aren’t mostly duplicated files.

Stop guessing at performance. There are no standardized ultramarathon race distances or times at which women hold the overall world record. Compared to marathons and shorter distances, the performance variance in ultras is a bit more random because there are just very few participants. The small number of events and lack of prize money means that hardly any world-class elite runners even sign up for ultras.

A lot of federal money goes to state and local health programs. For example, consider mammograms. A state will be given a budget to spend on mammograms. The state doesn't do those screenings itself, so it solicits bids from several healthcare organizations. Those organizations create proposals with estimates of the number of residents eligible for free screening in their area, the burden of breast cancer among that group, and whether those potential patients fall into underserved or high risk demographics. All of that comes from high quality data published by the federal government. Those groups pull data from these online data sets.

Your grandma might have gotten free mammograms because of that data.

This is blaming the parents for society, and the complaints appears to not be specific to ADHD.

Parents do their best within the knowledge they have. Blaming your parents for the outcomes of society is childish.

Fortunately the author is maturing out of childhood - and discovering as we all do that they are the only person that has the motivation and ability to find their own solutions to their own problems.

Society definitely fucks us up, and most people are trying hard to help improve their little corners, but it's a devil's problem.

>least motivated

This is a common misunderstanding. The people who produce value in businesses (anything larger than a true startup) are not "more motivated" regarding the business than the others. They are more talented, more experienced, and/or enjoy what they are doing more. None of that is intrinsic to the business. If you try to root out "unmotivated" people, you are just going to lose your best. Alternatively, depending on how you use the word ("motivation" is a really broad term), a lack of motivation is typically a problem with the business, and not the employee, so getting rid of the employees most affected by the problem won't fix the problem.

I think a lot changed, socially, over that time.

Inflation, crypto, and sports betting removed almost all stigma from gambling.

OAI is the peak example. ChatGPT was the fastest growing product ever and, especially in the early forms, sucked.

Even now, it’s just kind of mid.

I wish people had learned from covid and taken widespread illnesses more seriously. Before covid I was getting sick 5 to 8 times a year, thanks to coworkers. Since covid I am 100% WFH as is practically all of my company, and I've been sick exactly 1 time in 5 years. I mask indoors in public spaces during the seasonal spike in contagious viruses, and use hand sanitizer after touching anything like doorknobs or other surfaces a lot of people touch, like restaurant menus, etc. No, I am not hiding inside like some idiots seem to want to think I am.

It really disappoints me that air filtration was not taken seriously during covid, it should have been mandated by the government and paid for by the government for public places like post offices, and there should have been tax credits given to businesses to install air filtration systems. But no, we've learned nothing, and people continue to get sick far more than they would have to if we only decided to do something about it with readily available mitigations. Of course, it also helps to not elect a malicious narcissist to lead us down a path of ignorance.
> John Taylor Gatto's Dumbing Us Down perfectly captured this when he noticed that schools, another place where authority figures hang out, ruthlessly disciplined any child who tried to assert individuality.

There has been an interesting result recently, which was discussed here [0]. In an online game where participants had to forage for resources, people with attention deficits scored higher, because they preferred exploration to exploitation.

I commented back then that ADHD may be understood as introducing chaos into life to avoid being trapped in local optima.

Having ADHD is then of course a major disadvantage in environments where there is only one global optimum. Examples include highly regulated and deterministic academic environments (school, undergraduate studies) or corporate environments.

But in human history, environments with a single global optimum have been the exception, not the rule.

People with ADHD - and their parents and teachers - should therefore embrace their individuality as a kind of reservoir talent in the human gene pool. We need these individuals in the future.

A million tasks results in 2.5G memory spent (for stacks).

This overhead is indeed real, but it is basically immaterial. If you're using that many goroutines, you are going to be CPU-bound unless it's a very special type of workload like a WebSocket dispatcher.

In return, you get _normal_ stack traces, and a normal debugging experience. Not a callback hell of async/await. Also no "colored functions" nonsense.

Coroutines make sense only for something small and trivial, like the classic tree iterator. And Go now has that: https://go.dev/blog/range-functions
