I love writing and continue to explore various writing tools (pen/paper), and digital. Right now, I use a mix of digital and physical tools — fountain pens, paper notebooks, and devices (iPad/iPhone/Mac).

- Commonplace Notes: I almost always start in a physical notebook. I then transferred (typed) this to my digital version for more permanent reference.

- Journal: I write a lot. I moved to all digital about 10 years ago but moved back to physical about 5 years ago. I really love the tactile feel of the paper kicking back to my fountain pen, and I believe I will maintain my journal in a physical notebook.

- Temporary Notes/Quicknotes: I used both a pocket notebook and the usual digital notes on the device available with me at that time. These notes are considered ephemeral and the useful info is moved to the Commonplace Notes or the Journal. I write almost all physical meeting notes in a physical notebook with a pen. They usually end up being the reference that gets circulated to the participants.

I mean, there is no question that a lot of people who voted for Trump would prefer a King or a Dictator to a President. They let that be known. And for whatever weird reason, they trust this guy to be the king. And that is not American, not in the America I grew up in. (But maybe it is what they always wanted in the South). Now that they have it, I guess the question is whether our laws and courts and congress will stop it if it gets out of hand.

One thing I think Republicans and Democrats agree about is that Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely. One could see the corruption in the previous administration and, eventually, you can't help seeing it in whatever is happening now. The one hope is that Americans are not used to corruption, the way that people are in many other countries. Most countries I've lived in accept total corruption from their government as a daily fact. But Americans are still outraged by it. They don't accept it as normal.

From a German who lived through the 30s (from memory): "at the time, I couldn't determine if Hitler was a good phenomenon with some bad side-effects, or a bad phenomenon with some good side-effects".

AI Replacing CEOs
CEOs have been talking about how programmers, attorneys, etc. will be replaced by AI. However, the CEO seems like the perfect role to be replaced by AI. Why isn't the board nor investors bullish on replacing their CEO? At the very least, a large salary can be cut.

I agree it isn't a bad thing per se, but it should drive higher productivity and not be a net decrease in revenue.

If fewer people from New Jersey come to Manhattan, that's less revenue for restaurants and less sales tax collected. Taking that a step further, if those same workers work from their office in NJ or remotely, that's less income tax collected by the City, too.

Moreover, if you have a person living in Manhattan generating high revenue that is being taxed proportionally, having that person slogging through the bus / subway system an extra 30 - 60 minutes one way vs. taking a car is going to decrease the value they're creating. That means less revenue to tax from that person's business, and less taxes to collect from uber / taxi use. But hey, the City got that $2.90.

It's a complex relationship, and I'm not convinced this is going to be a net revenue generator on any level.

Whim and ego. I think the advanced economy will shift to supporting trillionaires doing things like "DIY home improvement" for themselves. They'll own a bunch of automated resources (power generation, mining, manufacturing, AI engineers), and use it to do whatever they want. Build pyramids on the moon, while the now economically-useless former middle-class laborers shiver in the cold? Sure, why not?
I've never quite understood how it is so easy for people to rationalize this thought-process: “<X := some motivation assumed to be widely shared like greed> means that someone will <Y := do some morally-questionable to morally-unacceptable act>;” therefore, if the speaker's motivation is even arguably less bad than X, it somehow justifies the speaker doing exactly Y first.

Recovering artifacts “for science” almost never benefits humanity in the short-term (and it's questionable if the average case fares better over the long-term). More often than not over our history, it has involved desecration and has enabled essentialism, and serves to benefit private collectors more than any other party (frequently to the exclusion of scientists).

Maybe the energy used to “get there first” would be better put towards making sure the burial remains are respected, or at least ensuring that whatever descendants remain are given legal stewardship.

All the best,

yes, I was being sarcastic.
DEI encompassed some concrete ideas and treating everyone the same is arguably what DEI opposed. It wanted to challenge ideas of universal humanism like "everybody gets treated the same" or opposed people that "don't see color". It replaced it with worse ideas and the results got worse too.

Meanwhile the cookbook of toxic middle management also tells us how to distract from your own failings. Just treat your employees differently and they will tear themselves apart instead of holding you accountable. We saw these results 1:1 in some perverted real life experiment.

Maybe these policies and ideas were made with good intent, but if they already fail the basics, they should be done away with. But it wasn't possible anymore to reflect these ideas in more liberal circles, they have become dogma. So we have the current dilemma happening.

I have a hypothesis that to move beyond being a consumer of technology to being a producer of technology, modern education in software development should be built on building fundamentals through first principles — especially with kids and young adults. It should be analogous to how we learn counting, arithmetic, and higher level maths.

> The problem is that after a half a century, software engineering discipline has been unable to agree on global conventions and standards.

It can't, and it won't, as long as we insist on always working directly on the "single source of truth", and representing it as plaintext code. It's just not sufficient to comprehensibly represent all concerns its consumers have at the same time. We're stuck in endless fights about what is cleaner or more readable or more maintainable way of abstracting / passing errors / sizing functions / naming variables... and so on, because the industry still misses the actual answer: it depends on what you're doing at the moment. There is no one best representation, one best function size. In fact, one form may be ideal for you now, and the opposite of it may be ideal for you five minutes later, as you switch from e.g. understanding the module to debugging a specific issue in it.

We've saturated the expressive capability of our programming paradigm. We're sliding back and forth along the Pareto frontier, like a drunkard leaning against a wall, trying to find their way back to a pub without falling over. No, inventing even more mathematically complex category of magic monads won't help, that's just repackaging complexity to reach a different point on the Pareto frontier.

Hint: in construction, there is never one blueprint everyone works with. Try to fit all information about geometry, structural properties, material properties, interior arrangement, plumbing, electricity, insulation, HVAC, geological conditions, hydrological conditions, and tax conditions onto a single flat image, and... you'll get a good approximation of what source code looks like in programming as it is today.
>It would be both. Or to put it a different way, how would you distinguish one from the other?

No, it's not both. Have you engaged in any effort to understand the law here? Copyright doesn't prohibit independent creation. I'm not sure how much more simple I can make that for you. In one scenario there is copying, in the other there isn't. The facts make it clear, when something is copied it is illegal.

>The question remains whether ingesting the article is the reason it gets output in response to a given prompt, when it could have happened either way.

This can't actually be serious? This isn't credible. You are saying there is no difference between ingesting it and outputting the results vs not ingesting it and outputting the results. Anything to back this up at all?

>This is a case of first impression. We don't really know what they're going to do yet. But "there exists some input that causes it to output the article" isn't any kind of offensive novelty; lots of boring existing stuff does that when the input itself is based on the article.

"First impression" (something you claim) doesn't mean ignore existing copyright law. One side is arguing this isn't first impression at all, it's just rote copying.

> But "there exists some input that causes it to output the article" isn't any kind of offensive novelty

You said its novel, I called it plain copying.

>lots of boring existing stuff does that when the input itself is based on the article.

Theoretically, an RTOS improves the quality by ensuring that the audio subsystem is fed cpu time and data with enough granularity that there is no interruption or delay on the sound stream (no "buffer underruns") and there are no glitches on the output.

In practice this should not be an issue if you are just playing music (at worst, add some more buffering) but it can be if the music must be synchronized with something else and you need low latency AND the system is busy doing also something else.

I found Linux in particular to be surprisingly bad at this when mass storage is involved (copy files on a spinning disk, somehow playback of audio from an SSD is affected... why?), although low-latency versions of the kernel help in that regard.

Show HN: An homage to Tom Dowdy's 1991 screensaver, "Kaos"
So, I was about 11 years old and just got my first Mac, a IIsi, and of course everyone had AfterDark, but there was this other screensaver program called "Dark Side of the Mac". And within it was, I think now, the most beautiful screensaver ever written. It was called Kaos.

Kaos would take anywhere from 10 to 30 seconds to slowly iterate on a single image, starting with a few colored dots and growing into webs within webs of algorithmic beauty.

I'm not sure how Tom Dowdy actually wrote the program. What I've done here is to try to reverse engineer how it might have worked, but to animate it at the same time.

Freezing a frame (by clicking) seems to often yield something close to the original. My method is to cycle between 1 and 30 lines, with spaced out pixels, and then iterate the whole buffer to draw fainter and fainter points within a radius from any point that's already lit, while also amplifying the ones that were lit before and shifting their colors slightly at the same time.

Anyway, I did this tonight but I've been thinking about it for weeks, so, I hope someone enjoys it. Cheers!
And I'm sure they'll do what every pricing model analyst does, which is simplify things to N=1, average across all factors to determine what the market is willing to bear according to GDP, missing out how inequality of wealth plays into these market dynamics and potential customer base. The price is affordable as per the model, but in reality the only people that can afford it are a fraction of people who have most of the wealth, because N=!1 but 8.2B, of which only a fraction have the money to spend of frivolities when fighting tooth and nail for food, housing, and healthcare.

All the "AI software engineer" hype is about one thing: suppressing developer wages. Steve Jobs used to do this covertly, to some extent, with his "no cold call" anti-poaching agreements.

It's a multi-prong attack. One angle is the interest rates and mass layoffs. Another angle is AI. There are more ridiculous ones, such as this "study" that claims 10% of devs do literally no work: https://x.com/yegordb/status/1859290734257635439 - I expect many such studies to be conducted and generously funded by the industry in the coming years.

The big irony is how all this talk will lead to a decrease in the software engineer supply. Why would anyone choose a career that's about to die?
