LMAO you literally just removed every word about the incentives around control of OpenAI-P and are claiming it's not a strawman to say that the only thing I say is 97 > 40.
Given how polarized the US has gotten: I wonder how much we regressed in 23 years and if modern people would do the same thing.
>> Also what annoys me is how much friction airlines have added to the whole process.

My biggest pet peeve is how they call groups successively, but dont actually let the lines exhaust before calling the next group. Successive groups realize that the lines are all mixed up, and people stop honoring groups and just all jump into line. Chaos ensues.
Definitely. Although Go is the simplest language with sane/good concurrency support so it's a good fit for Node.js/TS and Python shops that have run into a use case where they feel limited by their main language or runtime and need a concurrent backend service to implement a feature.
You still can.

I could be a million dollars in debt, disabled, with kids, and still find a way to move. Sorry but I don't buy it that you're ever too poor to move. I think people just don't want to make the sacrifices necessary for it.
> One, this isn't a thing in the developed world.

I mean, if you're saying that the US doesn't count as "the developed world" then I'd agree with you, but otherwise I'd encourage you to take a field trip to your local river banks and highway underpasses if you want to see what happens if you fail to sell your labor.

> Existence isn't free

It'd be pretty darn close to it if the means of said existence weren't hoarded and price-gouged for the sake of profiteering and rentseeking. We have enough food in the US to end world hunger. Most cities have more vacant homes than they have homeless persons. Any supposed scarcity of basic essentials is artificial.

> Strong communities tend to start with acknowledging the reality that is the cost of existing.

Strong communities tend to start with acknowledging that their members deserve to have food to eat, clothes on their backs, and rooves over their heads, and are consequently willing to operate on a principle of "from each according to his ability, to each according to his need".
Oh boy. Resume driven development if I've ever seen it. Ugly "functions as HTML." Big binaries. This is going to be a nightmare to maintain and onboard new developers to.

I get it, React is so very uncool and those ninja rockstar developers are too good for React. I suppose Alpine or HTMX are too "simple" for the ninja rockstars. Enjoy writing the world's ugliest markup until someone with some sense gets hired and makes everyone re-write the font end in 6 months.
>> Also most airlines board people roughly front to back, when it should be the opposite

the problem with back to front is that people in the back would put their bags into overhead bins in the front, which they can easily pick up on the way out. However, you cant walk backwards for pickup, so the read overhead bins would be empty and inaccessible by the people boarding last.

I was a traveling consulting when people did such things. I got to see this silliness 2-3x/wk
"-y" is a quite common diminutive suffix in English nowadays. As a fun fact, Americans find hilarious/cute how Brazilians pronounce English words ending in consonants (e.g. WhatsApp/Facebook) adding an extra "i/ee/y" sound because it sounds like adding "-inho" to them!
I am wondering how well it compares to https://mem0.ai/

I am happy with mem0 already, but is there anything you do that is inherently different/unachievable with mem0?
Importantly, the hallucinating non-existent things in programming languages is still stringing together valid English words to make something that looks like it ought to be a correct concept. It doesn't construct new words from scratch.

If a language model were asked what the word for "floppy disk" was in an extinct language and it invented a decent circumlocution, I don't think that would be a bad thing. People who are just engaging with the model as a way of connecting with their cultural heritage won't mind much if there is some creative application, and scholars are going to be aware of the limitations.

Again, the misapplication of language models as databases is why hallucinations are a problem. This use case isn't treating the model as a database, it's treating the model as a model, so the consequences for hallucination are much smaller to the point of irrelevance.

> I have seen that quote dragged out lately as some sort of prophecy of 2025…

2025 has nothing to do with my reason for citing this quote.

> Smartphones and the internet have given the layperson awesome technology literally in their hands. The entire election of 2024 was driven by the people specifically questioning those in authority…

Neither of these opinions are relevant either. The point of my citing the Sagan quote was to illuminate the danger we, as a society, find ourselves in as aptly described. The influence social media offerings have on public opinion is both well documented and extreme.

> ... and just what exactly is the “public interest”?

The applicable quote is "no one representing the public interest", which obviously identifies elected government officials.

> Is it what the public demands? Or is it what some elite few say it should be?

Not directly aside from voting and absolutely not, in that order. Suggesting the latter is disingenuous at best.

> Seems to me whatever time that Sagan envisioned, it certainly isn’t this time we are in right now.

Seems to me we disagree, as one could easily argue a handful of corporations (Twitter, Facebook, TikTok, et al.) have undue influence over the information billions of people consume, be it of the "mis" or "dis" variety.
Almost all the scroll-driven animations add no particular value. However, when it does, it does, just like every successful website, go back to being a tad boring and to the point, with precise information and bringing the Bottom Line Up Front.

When SVG animation was beginning to be widely supported by modern browsers (about 10+ years ago), a friend did a CSS-enabled SVG animation for a company’s website that explained “How it works” as the user scrolls the website. It worked, and the most asked question of “how it works” support ticket drops, thus increasing conversion and trust.

The website was for a hardware company in California that serves B2B customers with MIPS-based networks, video and security processors, etc.
I disagree. I don't think it's too much to ask of software developers to be the bare minimum of competent enough to wire up a basic web service in whatever language they are dealing. REST is not complex.

They didn't call it stealing, but yes. Google "Kenyan land seizure" for plenty of articles about it. The Kenyan government was particularly interested in Ogiek land, but it wasn't limited to them. It isn't much of a secret at this point. Kenya is by no means unique, USAID funds many such programs around the world. Or at least did.
Following your arguments throughout this thread, I think the piece that is confusing you is the framing of the problem as a game-show host, which primes you to think of the host being "fair" by default.

To understand how the framing might change how you interpret the problem, consider the following scenario: You are in a game of poker, and you have a flush with king high. Your opponent reveals all but one card from their hand, which shows they have 4 hearts, and they also reveal that their last card is an ace, but they don't reveal its suit. It's your turn to bet. Do you bet, or do you fold?

Now you could treat this as a simple statistics problem -- there are four possible aces they could have in their hand, and only one is a heart, so only a 1/4 chance they will beat you. But is the solution to this problem that there is a 3/4 chance of winning the pot? In the problem text, we haven't specified under what conditions your opponent will reveal which cards in their hands. But somehow, by saying it's a game of poker makes you think that they probably are more likely to reveal their hand if they are bluffing, so the true probability is not 3/4.

We are primed by this description of this person as your "opponent" to think about them making the decision adversarially. What if instead we say that that game of poker is part of a game show and your opponent is the host of the game show? Depending on the assumptions you make about your opponent's motivations, you must calculate the odds differently, and simply saying "3/4" is not unambiguously correct.
Nobody has replicated 9/11 because as soon as the passengers figured out the new threat model, there was no chance of getting away with it. Flight 93 figured it out before 9/11 was even over. The locked cockpit doors are the suspenders to the “let’s roll” belt. There will be no new 9/11 until 9/11 falls out of living memory.
That's pretty short-sighted. Plane hijackings are very dangerous situations and large death tolls, enormous investigations, threaten air travel, etc from a single event. I don't think the nerd calculus about the number of deaths from car crashes tells the whole story. 1968-1972 was also a different time from now and there is a lot more air travel and many more unstable people in this country. In the 1960s, the word "fascist" didn't mean "someone I didn't vote for" and words like genocide, oppression, etc mean far different things today and all this results in a lot more potential problems. Should TSA be a lot better, do they screw up a lot, is a lot of it a bit silly? Sure, but the idea that we just say "oh, well, there are a lot more car crashes so let's just no secure air travel" is just hard to take seriously. Sometimes doesn't simple nerd calculus doesn't tell the whole story. But, people always like to make claims like "people are so bad at determining" and it's a kind of unintended (usually) condescension but I think it's really a Dunning-Kruger thing. There are real reasons why simply comparing hijacking deaths to car crash deaths is not so simple that it leads to the conclusion that we shouldn't spend much money it. I've also seen ridiculous statements like that we only focus on airports because "lawmakers fly a lot more than normal people" it's crazy-talk.
I do the same thing. C++’s feature is incredibly broad, and sprinkling in just a bit too much templating can result in code that is cleaner, but harder to reason about when reading it back after a month.

For example, using C++ 20 ranges over simple loops is an example of where brevity and “cleanliness” can reduce clarity because the heavy templating and operator overloading hides what the code actually does.

On the other hand, sometimes one can’t avoid the complexity when writing a library that aims to work on many platforms, and with special tricks such as SIMD, as is present in the Eigen library.

I cannot tell you the number of times I thought I invented something new and novel only to later find out it already existed. So, while it is true that you can sometimes find paths untraveled, many things related to first principles seem already heavily explored in CS.

No, it is a quote from an insightful person. Where you took it from there is a form of projection.
Not everyone does their work in a web browser.

And even still, you don’t have to parse raw markup to grab properties from DOM elements. That could be handled by a browser plugin coupled with some some user guided training.

PDF is another beast entirely. I think there’s already a whole thread about that going on now. I’m going to zip my lips. I’m still waiting on Adobe to return my call from two years ago inquiring about the licensing costs of their parsing library for a small shop. Good thing I wasn’t relying on them to get that project done, and thank goodness for oss.

The MUDLine: timeline of MUD history, by Lauren P. Burka (1995)

https://www.linnaean.org/~lpb/muddex/mudline.html

See also: Burka's MUDDEX (1993), curating listings of the erstwhile MUD servers as NSFnet ruled the USA

https://www.linnaean.org/~lpb/muddex/index.html

Burka was known to her fellow players as "ashne" - stylized in lowercase - on Tinymud Classic & Islandia, hosted by CMU prof Jim "Fuzzy" Aspnes, among other servers

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Aspnes

several interesting hacks we collaborated on:

A TCP port concentrator, implemented by "leet". This add-on front end multiplexed connections with separate processes, allowing us to overcome the 64 file descriptor hard limit, per process, on Unix. Nearly 256 players could participate!

Na Choon Piaw, while working for Bell Labs Research on the East Coast, added a programming language that resembles Forth, releasing TinyMUCK 1.x and TritonMUCK test bed server.
Piaw worked with a VAX server, 7800 I believe.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TinyMUCK?wprov=sfla1

also, Jon "Stinglai" Blow from Berkeley designed a string interning method for TinyMUCK 2.x that saved plenty of memory, by deduplicating ASCII strings in memory.

Me? I assumed many interesting names over the years. Primarily "ChupChup" or his plural counterparts, "chupchups", or also "Lucretia", the statuesque goth woman wearing "boots of the deepest black". But in Real Life, (RL), I remain Robert Earl.
The problem you run into is that this is done intentionally. For instance Hanlon's Razor, Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity., is simply completely invalid when it comes to large organizations, because they always consciously ensure some degree of plausible deniability to actions that are intentionally and maliciously done.

USAID has funded a lot of awful things that the government has no business being involved in, but they do it through various sub organizations in order to effectively 'launder' the funding. Jay Byrne is the guy who founded v-Fluence. He's not only a former Monsanto director but also worked at "various high-level legislative and public affairs positions at USAID". [1] And then USAID goes on to fund his little doxing site against Monsanto critics.

That's exactly what I mean. Elon makes decisions to manage capital and talent, in order to make good things for the world, and thus accumulates more capital and talent to make more good things. He started from Zip2 and built his way to managing multiple companies, each of which make groundbreaking products and services. These products and services wouldn't exist without Elon. They wouldn't exist if capital wouldn't be allowed to accumulate.

Capital should be allowed to accumulate to those, who find the best use for the capital and use it in the most efficient way for the service of the world. That's the idea of capitalism.

Now, if he makes bad capital allocation decisions (like what this news is about), then he loses the capital to someone smarter than him, to someone who finds better use for that capital. That's also capitalism. Doing irrational or "bad" things isn't possible, without it resulting in losing that capital.

I don't understand your comment. There are plenty of integrated frameworks that work well between Node and React.

More importantly, though, you seem to be commenting from the perspective of an individual developer. The biggest productivity gains I've seen is that it makes it much easier for people on different areas of the team to understand and fix/modify parts of the code that they're least familiar. E.g. if I'm a developer that spends 99% of my time on the front end, but then I need some extra field that's not being returned by the backend, instead of having to do a full context switch, get an environment up and building that I may not have compiled in a long time, get my brain "switched over" to a different language, or worse, file a ticket and wait for the backend team to fix it, it's much easier if I can just go in quickly and add the field I need.

I've seen this in spades on small/medium teams - it really "lowers the barrier to entry" for people being able to submit PRs in parts of the codebase that is not their primary day-to-day work.
Go isn't a very good fit for this kind of thing. I've done it with Rust (Leptos, Dioxus, etc). The wasm binaries are a lot more sane when using Rust. On average, my wasm binary was around 240kb and it compresses really well over the wire.
This is an answer most should try. My relative is mentally disabled, but functional. With help from his family he got a used truck, and started lawn care and junk removal.

> Most people don’t have enough money for that lifestyle

Agreed. My point is most people in America has a lot to be thankful for, and yet everything in social media seems programmed to drive the opposite. (Being thankful doesn't mean one stops fighting for more.)
