"that comment literally say" even thought it doesn't say that one of the benefit would be "technological advances" so in reality "that comment literally doesn't say it" and that's why I was asking.
I think part of the problem is that so many folks think its somehow Israel's job to absorb terrorist acts without any military response. I for one won't be part of that. Gaza seems to me to be little more than an Iranian military outpost from which they can launch attacks on Israel.

I don't blame folks for being tired of this, but Gaza chose this route just like we in the US chose ours. Gaza made an extremely gross and unwise decision to go with the hamas losers. Its natural when a country picks poor quality folks to run their government that there may be consequences for their unwise choice. That goes for any country who picks the wrong leaders. I'm sure during world war 2 the civilians inhabiting axis territories probably experienced things you guys would call genocide.

All people need to do is to come up with something other than the complete destruction of Israel, and maybe there could be the start of a peace process.
Our first clue that it was bollocks was when it was called ARC reactor.

Great! Maybe I can finally learn what I'm suppose to be using generative AI for to be more productive. I'll be tuning in and spinning up whatever models/tools they suggest, but the longer this tech wave occurs the more confident I am that gen-ai is going to tally up to be an at-most 3% lift on global productivity.
Not exactly recent but they definitely delivered in VR. The SteamVR demo (a collection of minigames/experiences) is awesome, and so is Half-Life Alyx.

Half-Life Alyx actually took me by surprise. As in: "What? Valve still makes games?". And while it is the Half-Life franchise, it is different enough to stand on its own.
Last spring, I broke my ankle severely (trimalleolar fracture with dislocation). I had a very long string of complications following that: fracture blisters, nerve block rebound pain, opioid withdrawal, atrophy, infections, nerve pain, bone fragments, etc. It seems that right when things seem to start going well, a new complication arises.

I know it's not rational, but it's really hard to not fall into a mindset of "Why even try to fix this one, another one's going to happen anyway?" And once I start letting myself believe that, I just feel even worse.

Even before this happened, I have had a pet theory that agency (and perceived agency) is one of the most central components of psychology around anxiety and depression. This whole experience has reinforced it.

I guess you just dont know the domain well enough to understand the kind of issues strong typing and compiled software is solving.
IMO legacy code is code that has lots of if statements and special cases sprinkled in over the years to enable new features quickly and get out immediate hotfixes for bugs without doing full refactors and/or data migrations to address the root causes. Even with 100% test coverage it’s a pain to build new features in because there are so many paths to think through, and instead of single sources of truth each part of the app assumes every other part is working in very specific ways.

An alternative definition, legacy code is any code where there’s no one left on the team who has been working on it for years and intuitively knows the pitfalls. Then everyone’s scared to touch it or make big refactors, which actually leads to those small special cases being added instead.
Being a viable form of electricity and becoming a significant contributor to mitigating climate change by a specific date are two different things. Geothermal is a viable form of electricity for example even if it is less than 1% of power produced.
I still think that we’re at much greater risk of discovering that human thinking is much less magical, than we are of making a machine that does magical thinking.

Thank you so much. Kindle now looks so much better. KOreader indeed is the killer app. (little did I know that I could install it without jailbreaking).
I followed the instructions. It worked flawlessly. KOreader had a few issues, installing latest nightly fixed it. and I am thoroughly enjoying the uplevelled experience.
That's awesome! Yes, not being able to place fractional cent costs makes the problem unique relative to other markets.

Electric brakes were avoided up to now for safety reasons, despite potential savings. You don't save money by destroying your reputation with such absurd compromises.
On larger codebases, I use tools heavily instead of just winging it. If the LLM can't either orchestrate those tools or apply its own whole-program analysis it quite impossible for it to do anything useful.
> Rust probably has no business being on the frontend...

I would argue it this were more common they would have a lot of incentive to iron out the rough spots. Well, hopefully not in the way that makes it easier to have you download a 100+ megabyte wasm bundle to read a static blogpost, but anyways.

Personally, if I'm writing a script for an actual purpose (as opposed to just coding for coding's sake) I reach for python and if that's too slow I write a wrapper around some C code to speed things up. If I'm just messing around I use C(++) because that's what I know -- which is where rust could easily fit if the learning curve wasn't so high that I don't see the effort as worth it.
Are you aware of the trick of "var _ foo.RequiredInterface = myType{}" to make the compiler enforce that a struct implements a given interface?

Is what you seek a nicer syntax for this or does what you speak of bring something more feature wise?

At least IntelliJ IDEs will always make it clear what interfaces all your structs implement.
I diagnosed my first pseudocholinesterase deficiency as a CA-1 (for non-doctors: second-year resident, patient was still paralyzed after a long case from a drug that usually lasts ~5 minutes, had to send him to ICU on ventilator until it finally broke down from all the other enzymes in the body). Had to be an attending for ~10 years before I got a malignant hyperthermia case. Do not want to repeat either of those.

No. Surprises. Ever. Unless it's ROSC (return of spontaneous circulation, aka we succeeded) in a code.
I thought it was mostly used to terminate an asynchronous event?
Can you elaborate? I guess it has to do with connection pooling?
> As you say, Valve does not directly promote gambling products.

Counter strike cases are a gambling product. They cost money to buy, they cost money to open, and they reward with an item worth real money. This is indisputable, and arguing otherwise is either in bad faith or due to ignorance of the platform and surrounding ecosystem.

Valve wouldn’t be making over a billion dollars a year on case openings alone if the outcome of opening a case was worthless 100% of the time.

Did those teams have lots of senior engineers? I’d assume when you have a single tech lead over each area the team won’t fight each other since junior engineers will just follow their lead.

Maybe you're replying to the wrong person. Otherwise, the only hyperbolic statement is your own.
Just when Ampere are exploring a sell. So realistically no one is actually competing in the ARM server CPU market other than HyperScaler making their own chip. Nvidia for whatever reason doesn't seem to want to enter the General Server CPU market either. So this is pretty much ARM doing it themselves.

From people hearing about fission bombs (1945) to full scale commercial fission power plant (1957) was barely more than 10 years so fusion power plants must have already felt late in the mid 60s!

Agreed, the spring framework is completely against the spirit of Java. Yeah, auto-wiring was a terrible idea - why do I have to guess what components are going to be pulled in? And why do I have to figure this out a runtime?

The features of Spring Boot are nice, but Spring itself should probably be put out to pasture. Someone needs to write a good alternative to Spring and start promoting it like crazy (probably something exists).
Scaling robots down to five to seven inches is extremely challenging. Aspects like energy supply, mechanical structure, and intelligent control all require significant innovation. Currently, no such startup projects are in sight, but there may be teams working secretly.

Yeah last year Team Fortress 2 got the 64-bit update and replaced some commercial libraries. The branch of Source that it's on seems to get periodic security updates too.

If anyone's inner CSS eye is twitching at the centered figures and captions but not centered text, open DevTools (F12 most of the time) and fix it with the following CSS (click the + on the right in Chrome/Brave where the CSS is to add new rules)

The figures and captions should be in line with the text now.

This logic doesn’t make sense. We don’t prescribe the same selling point of a vehicle based solely on its power train type.

Are the BMW i8 or Acura NSX “economy” cars because they have hybrid engines?

Is the selling feature of the Lucid Air Sapphire the economy? I don’t think so, it’s designed to be the fastest sports sedan on the track.

Is the selling feature of the VW ID Buzz the economy? No, it’s designed to be the most stylish, colorful, and best driving minivan on the market. It’s a fashion statement more than a practical vehicle. While it is practical, the practicality/economy of it isn’t why people buy it.

Is the Hummer EV’s main selling point economy? Of course not.

Again, same thing with gasoline cars. They are sold on all kinds of different attributes and not all of them are 100% about dollars per mile.
It sounds like LLMs are the new futzing with emacs configuration.

Vulkan support is now there (it was added in the last couple of years). Might not be for all engine branches though.

Although I wouldn't bet against o3, I think it works to their favor to release it later no matter how well it is doing.

Case 1, does worse than or is on-par with o1:
Would be shocking and not a great sign for their test-time compute approach, at least in this domain. Obviously they would not want to release results.

Case 2, slightly better than o1:
I think "holding off until they have a chance to tune it further" applies.

Case 3, does much better than o3:
They get to release it after another model makes a noticeable improvement on the benchmark, get another good press release to keep hype high, and they get to tune it further before releasing results.

One of my biggest gripe with svelte.

In the js world you're shooting yourself in the foot by choosing a framework that is as locked in as svelte (no vdom,domain-specific-language and their design philosophy), had to find this out the hard way.

I still respect svelte for it's engineering capability, but it's a 100% commitment with no off-road options ever, but if you need a framework for js and don't like react or angular then vue would be my choice.

Gasoline cars were sold before gas station networks existed. We didn’t always have a gas station around every corner.

The same argument about capacity could be made for other modern appliances like air conditioning and electric dryers.

Most EV buyers barely need level 2 charging for their daily average driving distance.

Of course if we are going to get deep in the weeds I’d say that most places where the majority of peope live including suburbs can be made far more conducive to cycling and transit without that much of an investment and more of a mindset change to how we approach city development.

Search Migrainous Infarction. I had one when I was 32 (53 now). It's very rare, but a migraine can cause a stroke (ie. permanent brain damage), because of impaired blood flow. It left me with a permanent scotoma ("black" hole in my fov, visible from both eyes and with both eyes open).

I was scanning the comments to see if anyone needed that information.

If the aura doesn't stop after an hour, better go to the hospital (aura means reduced blood flow). Also NEVER take triptans during an aura.

RC cola competes with both Coke and Pepsi on price, however. And wouldn't you know it, it's earned a place on store shelves for that reason.
100% agree.

My experience to date across the major LLMs is that they are quick to leap to complex solutions, and I find that the code often is much harder to maintain than if I were to do it myself.

But complex code is only part of the problem. Another huge problem I see is the rapid accumulation of technical debt. LLMs will confidently generate massive amounts of code with abstractions and design patterns that may be a good fit in isolation, but are absolutely the wrong pattern for problem you're trying to solve or the system you're trying to build. You run into the "existing code pattern" problem that Sandi Metz talked about in her fantastic 2014 RailsConf talk, "All the little things" [0]:

> "We have a bargain to follow the pattern, and if the pattern is a good one then the code gets better. If the pattern is a bad one, then we exacerbate the problem."

Rapidly generating massive amounts of code with the wrong abstractions and design patterns is insidious because it feels like incredible productivity. You see it all the time in posts on e.g. Twitter or LinkedIn. People gushing about how quickly they are shipping products with minimal to zero other humans involved. But there is no shortcut to understanding or maintainability if you care about building sustainable software for the medium to long-term.

I’m also a long time java spring developer. I started writing a game recently and was really surprised about how bad the performance can be when you run it in a tight game loop.

The startup time is also a real problem, as you really want to be able to scale up pods quickly.

That said, it’s good enough right now. You can make it work at scale, and it’s worth the cost trade off of trying to do it more efficiently in a different language.

I would be curious to see how a rust microservice would compare in my companies infrastructure. How much cloud saving could we squeeze?
I don't know why people are even thinking that deeply about it. Trump put tarrifs on raw materials...

There is no way to recoup the cost there. This is just the largest single tax increase in US history.
I'm sorry but what? This is not a theory of mind test. You've constructed very open ended question with multiple answers and marked the LLM down because you didn't like the one it gave.

One issue I see for applying prediction markets to things like “there is a commercially successful fusion power plant before the year 2070” is the long time until resolution. Now, of course, one can hope to sell your shares in “yes” or “no” 5 years from now, but there may not be enough liquidity?

Suppose we had one prediction market M_1 for “On January 1st 2070, resolves ‘yes’ if there has been a commercially successful nuclear fusion power plant, and otherwise resolves ‘no’”, and then another market M_2 that, maybe it resolves in 5 years as ‘yes’ if the price of M_1’s ‘yes’ is greater than 30%? Or… hm, that seems problematic because people could just buy a bunch of M_1’s “yes” right before M_2 resolves? Or maybe that’s a self-correcting problem because people could… no, still seems like a problem..

Well, what if instead of a prediction market about the future value of another prediction market, it was futures contracts for the shares in a prediction market? Like, the right to buy or sell shares in “yes” or “no” at a particular price?

So like, if you’re confident that the prediction market will assign probability p or higher on a particular day 5 years from now, then if you bought futures which, on that day each of the futures could be used to sell a share in “no” at the price (1-p), then…
well, if the probability assigned to “yes” on that day is indeed p or higher, then the price of “no” would be (1-p) or lower, so one buy a share in “no” at a price less than (1-p) and then sell it at (1-p)..

Hm, issue there is one still needs to buy the “no” in order to sell it, so that doesn’t seem to really fix the “what if there is no liquidity in 5 years?” issue?

I guess one could spend 1 to create a share of “yes” and a share of “no”, and then sell the “no”, and be left with the share in “yes” which is ostensibly worth at least p, and then like, sell it a bit later when there’s more liquidity or something?

I probably don’t know what I’m talking about about this.
