> How do you address the argument, frequently made, that their terrorist designation is illegitimate

Then address that directly first. Ignoring the terrorist designation and going straight to not only voicing sympathy for them but outright supporting them isn’t something we want to encourage. (Note: I do not know if this activist supported Hamas.)
That's also incorrect in a certain way.

All societies exist on a "law" to "rule" spectrum, what determines whether you have law or rule is who the final arbiters of justice are.

If citizens themselves are the final arbiters of justice, you ironically live in a law based society. If those with power are the final arbiters of justice, then you live in a society with rules, not laws.

The absence of law is rule by those who are most powerful. The explicit purpose of law is to prevent arbitrary wielding of power.

With this understanding he's correct, because law is an entirely self fulfilling prophecy. If GP does not wish to enforce the rule of law himself, then there is no law.

The preamble of the declaration of independence states this idea more eloquently. The person you are responding to doesn't feel any personal responsibility for protecting a law based government, and if everyone feels that way, whoever has the most power gets their way, because who is going to stop them, who will provide consequences when the legal system is a weapon of the powerful, rather than a check on power?

I'm worried about being replaced by LLM. If it keeps evolving to the point where a CTO can ask LLM to do something and deploy it, why he would pay for a team of engineers?

"Virtual Machine" doesn't place restrictions on whether the guest's CPU is emulated or not despite "CPU virtualization" explicitly meaning "the instructions are not emulated". It's a bit wonky and I wish the terms had some more separation for clarifying exactly this case.

> I use at least 3 branches. My main one, a dev one and a debug one. I develop on dev. When I encounter a bug I switch to debug. The reason is it can produce a lot of code to fix a bug. It will write some code to fix it. That won't work. It will try again and write even more code. Repeat until fixed. But in the end I only needed a small subset of the new code. So you then revert all the changes and have it fix it again telling it the correct fix.

how big/complex does the codebase have to be for this to be for you to actually save time compared to just using a debugger and fixing it yourself directly? (I'm assuming here that bugs in smaller codebases are that much easier for a human to identify quickly)

Even the example in the post seemed closely related to other advances in consumer-level computing:

I re-created this system using an RPi5 compute module and a $20 camera sensor plugged into it. Within two hours I wrote my first machine learning [application], using the AI to assist me and got the camera on a RPi board to read levels of wine in wine bottles on my test rig. The original project took me six weeks solid!

Undoubtedly this would have taken longer without AI. But I imagine the Raspberry Pi + camera was easier to set up out-of-the-box than whatever they used 14 years ago, and it's definitely easier to set up a paint-by-numbers ML system in Python.
Why is data engineering so complicated?

I'm not a data engineer but was tasked with building an ETL pipeline for a large company. It's all just Step Functions, looping through file streams in a Lambda, transforming, then putting the data into Snowflake for the analytics team to view. My pipeline processes billions of rows from many different sources. Each pipeline runs daily on a cron job (maybe that's the key differentiator, we don't need live streaming data, it's a lot of point of sale data).

Whenever I hear actual data engineers talk about pipelines there are always a million different tools and complicated sounding processes. What's am I missing?
Maybe in your early years when stability doesn't matter to you. When you have a mortgage, a family, and obligations then you care about your job. Putting food on the table and paying bills becomes your highest priority. As to tech industry as an outlier, it's not so much that as it's not yet been reigned in yet. Technical jobs are just another tool to execute a business mission and once utility is gotten from AI to effectively reduce costs then costs will be reduced. That means bye bye to big salaries and hello to new reality. So enjoy the gig while it pays.

That's true to an extent, but President Biden also maintained a de facto open borders policy which undercut wages and drove up housing prices for US union members. This was deeply unpopular with the union members that I know. I'm not trying to start a debate on the merits of various immigration policy options, just pointing out that union members perceived this as a lack of support.
It seems very different and critically important. Would we have a current obesity epidemic without "optimized flavor and marketing strategies"? Because if we would not, then that is the true cause and of fundamental public health importance.

If we would have an obesity epidemic even without "optimized flavor and marketing strategies", then it is totally irrelevant.
As with a lot of the rest of what’s going on: there was a right way to (try to) do this, and the truly alarming part isn’t that they tried (that could amount to a policy disagreement, and that’s why we have systems for resolving that stuff) but that they’re going about it blatantly illegally, like, not even credibly attempting to follow the law.

They’re doing that because they need to move fast for this whole project to work. They haven’t captured so much of the government that they won’t get bogged down if they do it the right way. They need momentum and progress rolling into April 20th (due date for the “should I invoke the insurrection act?” reports Trump ordered to be created—takes time to get the wrong people out of the way so orders to send the military into “sanctuary cities” to enforce immigration law won’t be resisted, so they couldn’t do it immediately; and they may just use the threat of it, backed by the reports, to get cities to do the Feds’ jobs for them on the cities’ dime, I guess that’s the “if we’re lucky” outcome)
Please do-I think this is a great example of how AI can be helpful.

We see so many stories about how terrible AI coding is. We need more practical stories of how it can help.

> Well, what about converting strings to business data structures safely? What about complex JSON parsing, serialization

Those are solved problems in Go's standard library. And let's be fair: while some frameworks do a lot of stuff, the majority is very bare bones and just automate serialization, so compare with the average. And some even cause even more problems than they solve (Rails mass-assignment).

> CSRF

Available in several routers, if you choose to use a custom one, or in the form of middleware if necessary.

Which kind? For SQL, database/sql provides the tools necessary for avoiding SQLi, and requires the same care/discipline you'd need on a big-framework app. For XSS just use the builtin facilities of html/template rather than reinventing the wheel.

Library, if it's not in the router of your choosing.

> authN/authZ

Once again, let's be fair. AuthN didn't exist on Rails for 20 years, for example (and is still quite bare bones compared to libraries). AuthZ still doesn't. In Spring and .NET both also require libraries. So just use a Library in Go?

Yes you do. You can not just barge into someones home and perform an illegal search + arrest without extreme probable cause..

I'm not disagreeing - I think it's important to see China as the undemocratic, illiberal, authoritarian regime that it is. And it is foolish to think that China is interested in a rule-based world order because they believe in the same values many key post-war figures in Europe and the US believed in.

It's that China's economy is heavily dependent on exports - and dependability and the appearance of stability is generally good for trade. Obviously, this is helped by political stability, which means less scope for the kind of outward-facing destructive populisms we see in the US or parts of Europe. But with China's economy in trouble, that might very well change.

I will just quote the CEO of Tesla, Elon Musk from 2019:

"If you buy a Tesla today, I believe you are buying an appreciating asset, not a depreciating asset."

And the reason:
"Musk's prediction is based on two assumptions: Tesla vehicles will be able to drive themselves without any human input by the end of 2019, and customers will be able to make money from their vehicles by including them in an autonomous ride-hailing service Musk says will be ready next year."

As Elon would say "Let that sink in".

This is one of the major reasons he's in the White House now. Otherwise he would be in prison.
They usually do. They regularly begin with saying that they are advocating for peace with a foreign country that we have supported an illegitimate invasion into and that all claims of terrorism are just propaganda.

They usually don't dispute any of the atrocities there exists evidence for, they just insist that they are military acts of war by the armed forces of the Palestinian government and that terrorism is a category error, just like the Tet Offensive.
> I wonder if Linux is re-written i(n) (sic) rust will it too remove GPL as a factor ?

No reason it must? AFAIK all Rust for Linux code is GPL2. For example see: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/rust/kernel/al...

If some was or were to be licensed as MIT code, there is also plenty of dual licensed code in the Linux kernel.
The TPM is resistant to attacks as well. It requires presence by entering the PIN.
The problem with your argument is that the GPL has not only provided the corporate world with free labor, but with a licensing model that big corporations now like for their own stuff, because it lets them license the code to other parties while retaining important advantages over those parties.

GNU and Linux are the engine that powers practically every form of online harm.

The best licenses are BSD and MIT and others of that sort; they have no naive pretense of not helping corporations: everyone can do almost whatever they want, be they a large business or an individual. These licenses also don't encourage unlevel playing fields where the copyright proprietor enjoys dominance in the ecosystem.

For instance, if you are licensee under the BSD2, the only thing you cannot do, in comparison with the copyright holder, is remove copyright notices from the documentation or other materials accompanying the compiled code. This is really a minor thing which only stands in the way of those who want to be outright plagiarists.

With the GPL, it's extremely important to be the copyright holder, so that you can litigate. That's why the Free Software Foundation and GNU Project require copyright assignment for all non-trivial contributions to every project. If your program is a patchwork of files, each copyright someone else, you can't litigate infringement cases easily.
An exclave isn’t hardware, it’s an isolated piece of software that deals with a certain sensitive operation that you don’t want the kernel to have access to. So if you exploit it, then yes you have access to something that the kernel doesn’t–but that’s the point, because the goal is if you exploit the kernel you shouldn’t get access to that.
Yes. Using any particular currency generally isn't voluntary. If El Salvador had mandated everyone use only bitcoin then it everyone would have been using it. If using USD was voluntary in the US a lot less people would use it. It isn't a particularly strong argument to say that everybody uses one thing that they are legally required to use, then compare it to a new alternative that didn't gain total dominance in a few years.

Although in this case I am happy to agree it might be true despite being a weak argument, I can see a lot of good reasons why someone wouldn't want to use Bitcoin in practice. But the article didn't touch them when declaring a failure and the experiment wasn't run to a natural conclusion where the people involved decided it was not working.

The US immigration system doesn’t allow supporters of the Nazi regime, for example. There is a direct question in the citizenship form - “Have you ever been a member of a group such as…”.

> it's basically "build a [tiny] product to specs", in a series of steps

That seems like exactly what the person you're replying to is saying - that sounds like basic standard product-engineering stuff, but simpler, like any of a million examples out there that an LLM has seen a million times. "Here's a problem LLMs are good at, wow, the people using the LLMs do best at it." Tautolgy.

So it's great for finding people who can use an LLM to do tiny product things.

In the same way takehomes had all the same limitations. More power to you if those are the people you are looking for, though.

But it also sounds like a process that most people with better options are gonna pass on most of the time. (Also like with takehomes.)
