Thanks for showing your insight and the problems you face.

I hear these experiences from many places. I know someone who started a buddy system from the sports coaches in his place. They made an on campus chill out room where kids can relax with coaches nearby in the next room. They are confidants and they keep them away from their homes which are sometimes terrible places.

They also get these kids a sports team so they have mates who are in the same situation.

Finally they got some local shops to sponsor it because the idea is that they and the police have less problems with the kids being of the street.

It’s not a 100% cure, but it does seem to take away the biggest strains on the system.
you wrote a lot of words to mean "they want to send a message"

and that's what's happening to plutonium joe over there: a not so gentle reminder to the rest of the country not to import shit you shouldn't.

and often in cases like these they do a quite "good behavior" release a year later or something. sometimes, anyway.
Reminds me when Scala was translated to German some time ago, at about the same time of the year:

Exactly. It was a stroke of genius to popularise the word 'hallucinate' instead of 'bullshit' or 'wrong'.

Since it has no fundamental understanding of anything, it's either a sycophant or arrogant idiot.

When I told chatgpt it didn't understand something it obnoxiously told me it understood perfectly. When I told it why, it did a 180 and carried on where I'd left off. I don't use it any more.
Did we all agree to completely forget that the Great Recession happened and that the job market is right right now?
It's interesting to me though because I can see a human getting confused similarly.

IIRC when I played Pokemon a while back someone told me you could get a valuable item (Leftovers) by checking the garbage can on one ship in one game, and as a result when I played I checked every garbage can in case there was a hidden valuable item in there. I'm not even sure if Leftovers was obtained in the same way in the game I was playing.

TMBG was the first band I ever saw live. For some reason, they made a tour stop at the local women's college in my town and a few friends & I went. This was in 1993, in an auditorium that sat about 500. Super fun live and lots of crowd interaction. The songs are so short, too, that it felt like they played about fifty.

I went to see them again about twenty years later, at a larger venue, and it was just as fun. No one else in my family seems to really like them, though. :)
I mentally bin TUI applications in the same category as 2D video games.

Not all of them are good, but there are way better chances that I like it than the 'other one' (3D game / GUI).

I think the reasons are similar. When you don't have to focus so hard on what it should look like you spend more time on whether it is a pleasure to use.

This deserves more upvotes. Absolute classic.
I immediately thought about LibreOffice and MS Office. The compatibility has improved a lot, but things do break. And it is a showstopper for many users who receive documents by other people made in MS Office, or request MS Office files. It don't think the compatibility has to be 100% perfect, but visible breakage is an absolute showstopper for many users. I've recommended using LibreOffice to a small family business, but when existing documents showed up visually misaligned, they had to switch back. In this case it really doesn't matter who is to blame. For normal people who have things to do, the only thing that matters is whether they get the results they need or not. 99% won't complain to either MS or LibreOffice, they will just throw out the open product and just pay the commercial one and move on with their business.

Similarly, maybe your new browser fully and faithfully implements all the web standards down to the letter. But if it doesn't load Instagram, or Reddit or whatever popular site, then users won't care whether the blame lies with the website or the browser. They don't even have the granularity required for that in their mental model to distinguish these things. They see: when using Chrome, things work, when using the alternative browser, things are broken. Conclusion: use Chrome. It's like this in many cases. You can stomp your foot and stand up for rigor or whatever, but it won't change reality that you merely insist that it changes.
Do you have an ETA for when the media will start running honest articles instead of PR fluff? Asking for the entire western world…
I appreciate the Lindy effect, but I'd be very cautious in applying it in just any domain. In particular IT, where new project continually spring up to dethrone others. Another 30 years for Debian seems reasonable, but I'd probably bet against another 100. A metaculus question for the longevity of projects like debian would be fascinating.
okay great so it’s safer than a human driver… but this seems to be the wrong metric?

not that it can drive safer, but make things safer for everyone?

If the crashes it was involved in where the result of the waymo following the rules… how is that any better?

Less crashes, not it crashes less. Isn’t that the real goal?
They mean distorted, not squished for both.

Just doing this until out of gas sounds like the easiest way to satisfy these constraints.

I wasn't going to comment, but I couldn't get this image out of my head nor stop laughing.
I would like to know how to even begin building an intuition for writing something in this. I read the entire README and the only thing I understand is glyph start and end ╵ ╷.
Immigrants still have many constitutional rights - they’re rushing people out of the country to avoid court cases they know they’ll lose – but even if that wasn’t true, in a constitutional democracy that has to follow a legal process.

One of the big questions is how you define “activism”. She appears to have been targeted for supporting democratic initiatives by her fellow students based on the belief that killing civilians is wrong. Once you’re at that point, people could get in trouble for many innocuous beliefs, which suggests that people should hesitate to come here if anything they build can be taken away by Dear Leader without warning or legal process.
If that bet existed, then who decides which benchmark is used?
I used to take the same route regularly (with little traffic) and started timing myself. Speeding like a maniac in a decent car maybe got me there in 27 minutes instead of 30. I concluded it wasn’t worth it to speed or drive aggressively at all.

Well, until I drove a Dodge Charger R/T for a week. I could get there in 15 minutes. It had insanely good handling, amazing braking (enabling more aggressive driving), and absurd acceleration and handling at high speeds.

I concluded that was the last thing I needed and I drive a 50mpg Beetle now.
DoorDash is just a means to extract revenue from users, contractors, and restaurants and give it to the owners of DoorDash. It's not a sustainable business and I'm not convinced it was ever intended to be. COVID was a fluke that made it hang around a lot longer than it otherwise would have.

Edit: ooo someone's mad I don't like DoorDash
It honestly doesn't even sound like there was a happy path involved in his work.
I think there's a related phenomenon that we see all the time in automotive circles. A vehicle manufacturer (OEM) needs a new thing, so a supplier develops it in cooperation with them. Great! The requirements were vague and all that, but you arrive at a solution that works. The supplier documents the performance in a product specification stating what it can do and under what conditions. Great! Next the OEM asks for quotes on next gen, and also goes to other suppliers to see if they can provide at lower cost. The OEM uses your product spec as a requirements document and this is where it all goes to shit (a product specification is not a requirements document). They no longer know what they need, but the know what they have and they want "same or better" next time. Over time this can lead to absurd specs and increased complexity to meet them. Sometimes a competitor comes in with a cheaper version and the OEM gets excited based on price and all the actual requirements might get revisited because the cheaper part is out of spec (to save cost).

This seems similar to the Postel's Law thing. If you produce to spec but accept things out of spec, the ecosystem will unofficially change the spec to what's actually out there. Then people will re-apply Postel's Law with a wider spec on what you produce and even wider on what you accept. Eventually you end up with a complex mess, but in this case it's a widening spec where in the automotive example it's usually a narrowing spec.
They also have way less roads, America has 4.1 million miles of roads and the avg European country has something like 80,000.

American's have to drive and they have to drive further.
Are the stats from training ChatGPT, Claude or other models public? It would be interesting to see a comparison to them.
My son is in high school, and at the Parent's assembly at the beginning of the year the Principal announced that he would be doing what he could to ban phones at school (kids can have them, but they can't be out during class). Half the parents cheered, the other half booed.

FWIW, I was one of the cheering parents. But you can't enact policy when half of the parents are against it. And this is at a school that is top 20 (out of 1100) in the state, I can't imagine what it is like for the bottom 50% of schools.
> What's the "ROI" of a well rounded populus that gets along and doesn't want to kill each other?

Calculable.

> What's the "ROI" of creating beautiful works of art, or producing great culture?

The academy doesn’t do this anymore and hasn’t for more than half a century.

> What's the "ROI" of happiness?

Is there any evidence to suggest college graduates are happier which account for differences in childhood socioeconomic status, lifetime earning potential, and similar confounding factors?

> Sometimes the purpose of central government is to make a negative ROI into a positive one, because there are greater purpose than the return

While I agree with you in principle, this rationale can be used as a cover for bad policy. You take a measure that is widely accepted as an indication of worth, and then insist that the system’s failure to produce that indication of worth may actually just indicate that it’s providing an intangible goodness that cannot be measured nor accounted for (beauty, happiness, etc.).
Ncurses has its place, if you're doing a full featured form based app it helps a lot.

What you're describing is the opposite end of the spectrum, those that do understand communications and language to the degree they can appear to fluidly support contradictory positions, but they are in fact operating at a higher communications level and spinning circles around those less adept in communications. They are masterful language and perception manipulators, in a strategic game of corporate dominance.
This is really interesting, I'd love to see this perspective incorporated into mapping software like google maps/streetview.
Yeah right. It can't draw on enough of its training data to be useful. That's why it gets stuck going down one particular alley without considering alternatives. See the whole using glue to keep pepperoni on your pizza.

Even looping a la Claude extended doesn't help. It still keeps going in circles.

Maybe GP hasn't seen UBI at scale. I sure haven't. Maybe one day.
Reading between the lines, she had her visa cancelled previously. She then seems to have flown from Canada to Mexico and applied at the border and I'm guessing this bit but probably filled the form wrong like not saying about the cancelled visa. Then the mucked up bit is rather than just refused entry she was put down for deportation but Mexico doesn't take non Mexican deportees so she ended up in the nasty holding system for illegal immigrants there. The US banned her from entering for five years so I think there must have been an error/deception on the application.

I guess the answer if you are Canadian is sort it out at the embassy or if you are chancing things do it at the Canada/US border not the Mexican one.

Blender is still a mismash of hundreds of semi random buttons and options, That is a core feature of a professional UI, In order to cater your tool to a user that will spend many hours operating it the most critical aspect is to reduce friction, flatten operation, bring everything out front where it can be seen and accessed in one operation. It's ugly, intimidating, hard to learn and makes the designers cry, but it is very fast and efficient exactly what you want when you are going to be using it for multiple hours a day every day.

Is this https://www.reddit.com/r/BlenderDoughnuts/comments/1jdv2mq/r... really that much cleaner than this https://www.reddit.com/r/BlenderDoughnuts/comments/hwes95/th... Sorry for the reddit but it was the best examples I could find with an actual working ui shot.

You do the opposite when trying to cater your interface to the casual user, you slow things down, reduce options, nest the menus, introduce model dialogs. things start to take 3 or 4 ops instead of 1. The key here is to gently guide the unfamiliar user. It is an important design consideration but it really starts to chafe operating it for hours on end.
That's the correct indicator to look for: the number of Waymos on the road is still very small compared to the number of other vehicles. Alphabet wouldn't risk the cost of expanding to the current number of cities without very strong confidence that they're not going to lose their shirt doing it.

The evidence so far is that they are throttling demand by keeping the prices above that of an Uber. It's definitely still an experiment. If the experiment is successful, expect to see more cities and more vehicles in each city in expanding service areas.

There are step changes that have to be made to keep waymo expanding. The tariff situation is blocking plans to have dedicated vehicles from China. That has to get sorted out. The exact shape of the business model is still experimental.

Of course it's got to be safe. But there are dozens of dull details that all have to work between now and having a profitable business. The best indicator of a plausible success is that Waymo appears to be competent at managing these details. So far anyway.

That's not going to happen so you can forget about it. Means testing entitlement programs has been tried before and never got much political support from any generation or political party. It's unwise to create incentives for old people to be poor because then workers will be less likely to also save for retirement in their own separate private accounts.
Maybe, but I can also understand someone rationalizing that they don’t need to test abs(), because what could possibly go wrong?

First of all, that is not true. But even if it were, those are not the same thing as how easy something is for beginners.

Abstractions make large systems easier to understand, not harder. Each line of Go is easy to understand, but whole programs are not.

The tooling itself is not _slow_ (are you intentionally misreading this?). It is slow_er. Why are you using dotnet format? Try CSharpier instead.

It does not matter on CI, it matters locally where you should be using something else.

And of course if you are looking for an excuse to use Go (which is a worse language), fixing this or any other "issue" will not help - there will always be another reason.
honest question: how is this any better than running non-root containers?

They can do very little anyway, that way.
> That's how you get garbage (but valid) values fed as input to your code

If you face a function author who doesn't know what the hell they are doing and, as a result, foolishly feeds you garbage, then yes, it is possible for that garbage to propagate unknowingly. But when faced with a function author that doesn't know what the hell they are doing, that's going to be a problem no matter what. No language construct ever conceived can save you from someone who doesn't know what the hell they are doing. They will do foolish things in every language ever created. -- That is not a reasonable position.

If a function is written sensibly, the value can never be garbage. How could it be?

Seriously, don't make these statements until you have data against drivers in Toronto or Chicago or Boston or NYC. Humans in snow, freezing rain, ice, and thick fog still wins against your AI. Show me the data stating otherwise or address the data cherry pick.
Great work! I learned about this game just last week when reading "The Secret History of Mac Gaming". This looks like an excellent adaptation.
> Overall it's been a big productivity boost. However as the project has grown Claude has gotten much worse. I'm nearing 15k lines

I've read comments like this many times and I'm genuinely surprised at the coexistence of "productivity boost" and "15k lines".

Am I the only one that feels like 15k is a tiny project even in non-boilerplatey languages? That's not even past the prototyping stage of a small project.

Am I completely out of touch with a modern project's scale?
My go-to analogy is a movie theater. Once in a while you have to break out the firehouse and wash down all the accumulated popcorn, gummy bears, dried-up soda pop, and tracked-in dirt. And no, it cannot all be recycled to make new movietime snacks.

It’s not. Yearlong suspension where I live, major fines, and you basically need to get a lawyer to navigate the process which is generally at least $10k. You become almost uninsurable and have to show proof to the court you carry insurance, or else you go straight to jail and your car gets impounded if you get pulled over.

With a valid employment reason (such as snow plow operator) you can get an employment only permit. Your insurance will easily be $1000 a month just for basic liability. I’ve known a few guys in this situation.

The bigger problem is people who are judgment proof and don’t mind spending some time in jail. They just drive drunk over and over and don’t care if their car (which is often a relative’s) gets impounded. They have no valid licence and no insurance. Short of permanent incarceration, there isn’t much they can be done about such people.
Until you have a large amount of data & need either random access or to work on multiple full columns at once. Duplicated keys names mean it's very easy for data in jsonlines format to be orders of magnitude larger than the same data as CSV, which is incredibly annoying if your processing for it isn't amenable to streaming.

Do you mean the various efforts to weaken crypto stuff? I don't think I object in principle to law enforcement having access to the information for law enforcement purposes, but we know that any kind of access is subject to scope creep particularly when you lower the threshold for that access. First it's to enforce reasonable laws, then it's to enforce unreasonable laws, then it's because someone bribed a policeman. Not necessarily in that order.

Besides, the main problem with safety on the internet is not that law enforcement has no tools, it's that the crimes cross political borders. You can (in principle) identify the culprit in Russia easily enough when the money is laundered, but how exactly do you plan to bring them to justice?

Seems like you're dismissing the cost of artificially splitting what should be a monolith.

It outweighs the supposed productivity boost of LLMs by at least one order of magnitude if not more.
In the late 1990s my friend was writing a game for his TI-83 calculator in TI-Basic. He was running into this bizarre bug we boiled down to a single IF after almost an hour of back and forth over a single calculator. The IF was not behaving as you would expect and it made zero sense. In the early version of TI-Basic, operators are actually single symbols, rather than made from text characters. In frustration I delete the IF symbol, insert a new one, and fire the game up. Everything works, and my friend just about dies in disbelief. It's probably my most frustrating bug fix.

I was telling someone the story a couple years ago and they said the opcodes linked to the symbols could get corrupted or something like that.

I’ve never looked at the process of making a nixpkg, but wouldn’t the review process only catch something malicious if it was added to the packaging process?

Agreed, I feel like the article didn't address the other major benefit of sync calls, namely their simplicity.

A system built on purely synchronous calls is infinitely easier to reason about and design in all aspects other than e2e latency.

I'd almost approach from the opposite direction, defaulting to sync calls till you have concrete performance reasons not to.
