> Also also, I'm not the one who invented this ridiculous scenario of every state for themselves, that was OP.

It's not strictly an invention of the OP. The current administration is fully advocating for ripping away funding and benefits to blue states. In a world where the federal government is ensuring that the tax dollars these states pay do not benefit said state at all, there is no rational reason for said state to continue contributing to the union as opposed to clawing back those tax dollars and investing directly in their own state.
In a "denial of service prevention" scenario, you need your cost to be lower than the cost of the attacker. "Delay on the server side" means keeping a TCP connection open for that long, and that's a limited resource.
Just wrong!!
> It's saving semicolon-separated CSV files with the comma as a decimal point.

It's not though, is what I'm saying. It's saving semicolon-separated files, not CSV files. CSV files have commas separating the values. Saying that Excel saves "semicolon-separated CSV files" is nonsensical.

I can save binary data in a .txt file, that doesn't make it a "text file with binary data"; it's a binary file with a stupid name.
You only need to check enough digits to find an odd one. An odd digit appears in the low order (< 46 up to a high level) digits for the first quadrillion cases so you only need to compute 2^n mod 10^d where d is big enough to be safe. I used d=60 in my computations to take this to 10^15 candidates (with no additional terms found).
Why not Pandas, since you're working with tabular data anyway?

My feeling is… just give it 6-12 months. All the low-quality apps that were "vibe-coded" will start to break down, have massive security breaches, or generally fall apart as new features are added.

Brace yourself for a wave of think pieces a year from now, all wringing their hands about the death of vibe coding, and the return of artisanal handmade software.

That mostly breaks down to "excel is intentionally stupid with csv files if you don't use the import function to open them" along with the normal "don't trust customer input without stripping or escaping it" concerns you'd have with any input.

And what about the hardware on which the build runs? Is it reproducible? ;)

Even with the price reduction, I am still considering PostHog. I think it makes sense to leverage many of the features that PostHog is offering instead of using Mixpanel + a separate product for handling surveys or feature flags. What makes feel skeptical is the migration effort. I need to do some research about this.
C compilers offer __DATE__ and __TIME__ macros, which expand to string constants that describe the date and time that the preprocessor was invoked. Any code using these would have different strings each time it was built, and would need to be modified. I can't think of a good reason for them to be used in an actual production program, but for whatever reason, they exist.
We really have to shatter the bind. Every time someone buys into the two party system and votes against rather than for, we all lose. I'm not criticizing you, I am lamenting how toxic and horrible first past the post voting makes our elections.
I wish we can have immutable runtime objects (e.g. final in Java or const in C++).

Yes, that's an objective fact. Something like 40-50% of farmworkers are undocumented, even more if you consider immigrants as part of the pile.
> Cheaper knowledge work increases demand for knowledge work.

This is Jevon's paradox.

> So the number of workers required might actually increase.

The increased demand for work turning into new jobs for existing workers, that is where the question is more complex.

This has gone the other way too in matters of muscle - people who wouldn't have been employed before can now be hired to do an existing task.

When you go from pulling shopping carts to an electrical machine that pulls carts for you, now you can hire a 60 year old to pull carts in the parking lot where previously that job would be filled by teens.

This is all a toss-up right now.

In an ideal world, I will be paying less for the same amount of knowledge work in the future, but as a worker I might get paid more for the same hours I spend at work.

My hours are limited, but my output is less limited than before.
Shame on his employer for firing him. That's probably the shittiest behaviour here (which is saying something).
That's right. Education should be universalized, not standardized.

The commodification of education will eventually make it useless. Universal, bespoke education is the ideal, but it's usually prohibitively expensive.
I don't think there are any plans for Ladybird to have a JIT compiler (they used to have one but decided to remove it) [1, 2], so it's not clear to me that this performance gap will be improved anytime soon (if ever).

I don't agree with that part. The immediate cost will be outweighed, I expect, by the impact on the judge; possibly, if Lidden isn't jailed, on the employer who will remember that Lidden was so honest under pressure and at personal cost; and on everyone around Lidden for the rest of their life, having earned trust that few of us have.
It basically means that not everybody needs to build from source code if they want to verify that the binaries they're using haven't had malware injected during the build process. I.e. so long as enough people check that they can reproduce the build, and call out any case where it doesn't, everyone else can just use the binaries without building from source. This means auditing efforts can focus just on the source code, which is a lot more tractable (but still hard, and imperfect. But it means a potential attacker needs to work a lot harder, as opppsed to a compromise of the build servers basically giving them free reign without much risk of detection).

It doesn't really do anything at all for tivoisation, Tivo managed it just fine without reproducable builds.
I think the winning strategy is making a small model that's good enough to embed in search, etc, at no cost. Google has the best small models. But whoever wins this will be whoever makes a more efficient computing substrate for LLM inference, like running a transformer with lenses or something like that. Winning strategy there is acquisition.

https://www.ers.usda.gov/topics/farm-economy/farm-labor

> In 1990, the average real farm wage for nonsupervisory crop and livestock workers was just over half the average real wage in the nonfarm economy for private-sector nonsupervisory occupations ($11.71 versus $23.19, in 2023 dollars). By 2023, the farm wage ($17.55) was equal to 61 percent of the nonfarm wage ($28.93). In other words, the gap between farm and nonfarm wages is slowly shrinking, but still substantial.

> The share of hired crop farmworkers who were not legally authorized to work in the United States grew from roughly 14 percent in 1989–91 to almost 55 percent in 1999–2001; in recent years it has declined to about 40 percent. In 2020–22, 32 percent of crop farmworkers were U.S. born, 7 percent were immigrants who had obtained U.S. citizenship, 19 percent were other authorized immigrants (primarily permanent residents or green-card holders), and the remaining 42 percent held no work authorization.
The problem for Google is, people who are not familiar with tech has started seeing AI as a different product than google(search)!

Instead of searching (google) , let me ask AI( chatgpts) and google is on the losing side of this perception war. This cannot be solved that quickly .

Especially with what google has done in the AI space(to a layman) it was Bard(anyone remembers) and then it was something and then its Gemini now.

what is the differentiator now? is google offering more free stuff than its peers? a layman doesnt care about whether it succeeds in solving a math problem or not!
As long as people think these two are separate things(ai v search) , google is gonna have a problem
Hopefully they make a come back
I am not into this end-of-the-world collapse thing at all, but I like reading about the strong focus on simplicity and support for limited hardware. There is a lot of talk about keeping things simple in software, but very few act on it. I don't need the threat of a global disaster to be interested in running operating systems like that.

Been doing some retro hobby (16-bit, real-mode, 80286) DOS development lately. It is refreshing to look at a system and be able to at least almost understand all the things going on. It might not be the simplest possible system, not the most elegant CPU design, but compared to the bloated monsters we use today it is very nice to work with. DOS is already stretching the limits of what I can keep in my head and reason about without getting completely lost in over-engineered (and leaky) abstraction layers.

Two comments -

The article makes it sound like Kling just took an existing product (LibWeb) and renamed it, without making it clear that Kling started/developed LibWeb also.

Secondly, Kling has stated repeatedly that he's focused right now on compatibility, and spending next to no time on optimization, so speed results are as expected. He just posted on X recently his excitement of being able to order Uber Eats from Ladybird now, so I'm inclined to believe that.

Yes, and your proposed plan - the subsidized states refusing to sell the food to the subsidising ones - removes that reason entirely.

Blue states would see inflation. Red states would see an economic collapse.
I suppose the trick is that these people won't come out and drink coffee with you! The people who do come out will be more fun and social, and these two you mention would just stay home like usual.
The linked article can tell you that the ChatGPT app has been downloaded more than 600M times, so approx 1 in 13 humans has actually downloaded ChatGPT to their phone already, let alone heard about it.

They have WAUs in the 300m ballpark — average people already are going out of their way to open a standalone AI.
I think the determinant will be how transparently this process is maintained.

It's a fact(I guess?) that they are that percentage of farmworkers. It's not a fact that without them that farms would not survive in America.
It's really bad if your header row has less columns than the data rows. You really need to do the import vs just opening the file because it's not even obvious that it's dropping data unless you know what to expect from your file.

For context: I have a LOT of experience of interchange formats, like "full time job, every day, all day, hundreds of formats, for 20-years" experience.

Based on that experience I have come to one key, but maybe, counter-intuitive truth about interchange formats:

- Too much freedom is bad.

Why? Generating interchange data is cheaper than consuming it, because the creator only needs to consider the stuff they want to include, whereas the consumer needs to consider every single possible edge case and or scenario the format itself can support.

This is why XML is WAY more costly to ingest than CSV, because in XML someone is going to use: attributes, CDATA, namespaces, comments, different declaration, includes, et al. In CVS they're going to use rows, a format separator, and quotes (with or without escaping). That's it. That's all it supports.

Sqlite as an interchange format is a HORRIFYING suggestion, because every single feature Sqlite supports may need to be supported by consumers. Even if you curtailed Sqlite's vast feature set, you've still created something vastly more expensive to consume than XML, which itself is obnoxious.

My favorite interchange formats are, in order:

- CVS, JSON (inc. NDJSON), YAML, XML, BSON (due to type system), MessagePack, Protobuf, [Giant Gap] Sqlite, Excel (xlsx, et al)

More features mean more cost, more edge cases, more failures, more complex consumers. Keep in mind, this is ONLY about interchange formats between two parties, I have wildly different opinions about what I would use for my own application where I am only ever the creator/consumer, I actually love Sqlite for THAT.
Back in the day repositories had 'maintainers' who reviewed packages before they became included. I guess no one really cares in the web dev world; it's a free-for-all.

The truth many will not want to admit is that knowledge work is essentially the “rentier income” version of labor.

You secure an asset (specialized knowledge), and then you just live off of it while doing the minimal work you can, by turning yourself into an asset.

Even though this affords many people a comfortable life, much like being a landowner of a vast portfolio of properties, it contributes to the inequality and degradation of society, splitting people between those who must labor physically and those who look down at them comfortably from high balconies.

Society will not be worse off with most people doing physical labor. It was that way for thousands of years and humanity flourished. People may not like it, but humanity can only truly relax and do nothing when it has reached its peak and every problem is solved, and we are just not there yet. Back to work.

> The problem for Google is, people who are not familiar with tech has started seeing AI as a different product than google(search)!

I don't know if that's a problem. If I was Google I'd like to keep search mostly as is (perhaps throw in some AI summary, but mostly as is) so I can keep putting links to ads.
I still use Google; if I want to buy new running shoes, book a flight etc I don't start talking to ChatGPT about it, I just Google; I'm sure there are a couple billion more people like me who'll keep doing it. It's more than just habit, A.I is perceived as not up to date so I see absolutely no reason to go to an LLM for shoes and flights.
But I have many other questions (mostly programming, stock analysis etc) I go to the A.I for. I think for Google, Search will still make a lot of money because the buying shoes thing is worth more for advertisers than asking some vague question about my codebase.

National security doesn't stop being a thing if the US splits into two countries.

I support a lot of different manufacturing places and so see a wide, wide, variety of hardware.

You don't know how terrible Windows 11 is until you start going backwards, peeling off layers of the onion. Once you're back to XP/2000, you're like..oh shit. People spent years thinking about how this would all work. And it's crazy fast. Windows snap into place almost instantly. Sure, search doesn't work, but search doesn't work on Windows 11 reliably either.

Everything you actually need to work? Works better and faster in the old stuff. When I remote into those machines even the remote session feels faster. How does a Windows XP machine running on a 733mhz machine from the last century feel faster at navigating windows and settings and launching programs than my 3k dollar workstation from last year?

The best part about csv, anyone can write a parser in 30 minutes meaning that I can take data from the early '90s and import it into a modern web service.

The worst part about CSV, anyone can ride a parser in about 30 minutes, meaning that it's very easy to get incorrect implementations, incorrect data, and other strange undefined behaviors. But to be clear json, and yaml also have issues with everyone trying to reinvent the wheel constantly. XML is rather ugly, but it seems to be the most resilient.
