It’s one party with some internal factions struggling for power, none of which stand to offer anything to the American people. More wars, no term limits, no campaign finance reform, nothing to stop corporate capture. They talk about divisive social issues to keep everyone’s eyes off the money.

I, for one, think Capture Catching can't arrive soon enough. It will allow us to write much simpler programs, getting an edge over modern Java & co. I'm very much looking forward to it.

Don't use experimental Scala features in production code. They may change or be removed. And they will likely lack support in IDEs. But that is a common sense.
You’ve just found a roundabout way to repeat the idea that you don’t like that someone else is getting what you believe to be an unfairly large piece of the pie.

Because currently in the world today, the owner of the business is earning 100% of the value they provide as is the developer as is the bookkeeper.

You just don’t agree with each person’s view of the value they create and don’t have a way to determine the actual value they create.

So we’re back where we started.

> However, a bigger problem in the current state is the existence of parties whose only real role is funding, but who receive an outsized portion of the reward.

Isn’t the funder getting earning 100% of the value they create (just like you want them to) by providing capital? If not, how do you prove otherwise?

It's literally never been the case that a new technology brings wealth to just a few. Cars, cell phones, computers, air conditioning, running water, etc etc were all once things for rich people. In short order they became commonplace.
Probably business types too. If you ask "what's the best email sending company" it will give you the most popular ones and all the right talking points to convince your underlings to switch. Now the salesfolk don't have to bother with golf games anymore.
I feel that society is blatantly choosing against education. I don't see that ending well, not just because the kids will suffer. They'll also become aggressive MAGA nutcases, or something equally horrible. But it is a case of "put up the money or shut up", which means for education to do better something else needs to lose budget, so this is a nonstarter.
Daydreaming is what they're doing and it's what the teachers are complaining about: "When you are standing in front of them trying to teach, they’re vacant. They have no ability to tune in… They’re not there."

It's a bit hard to notice because Gioia is a polemicist trying to whip up a crowd, but what he brings up isn't actually complaints about kids using smartphones in the classroom. Rather they're about students being uninterested in the material (or less charitably, perhaps in the teacher's presentation of it), and then he implies very strongly that this must be due to smartphones but doesn't try to argue that case. Instead he gets mad at people who point out that correlation is not causation, claims they're engaging in "sophistry and spin", that's he's "dumbfounded" anyone could possibly disagree with this amazing argument, then immediately goes off on a tangent about AI cheating (a form of sophistry).

Actually, at no point in this article is smartphone usage in the classroom ever brought up as an actual problem. The link is implied to be causal whenever children have any access to "tech" in general, anywhere at all.

Half my dev time fighting TS types
I'm a swe at a yc startup that uses the T3 stack (next, trpc, prisma) and I'm spending ~half of my dev time fighting typescript types. Updates require type changes across multiple files - most of which are unrelated to the feature I'm adding.

Are we just using ts wrong? ts is newer to me - I was in laravel and dotnet before with very structured dto's and almost never had to touch types unless there was db changes.

I get that functional programming is meant for small single use functions that define only the type of the object that it needs, but in my opinion, thats lead to a mess of types across the codebase and I miss the structured dto's being defined in one place and thats the type that gets passed everywhere.

I'm not naive so I know I'm not the first dev to encounter these issues w ts so could someone tell me if we're just not using it correctly? I know we could define dto's in ts I'm just not sure if thats defeating the functional purpose. Does anyone else feel like they are spending way too much time wrestling types?
I got the occasional A/B test with a new image generator while playing with Dall-E during a one month test of Plus. It was always clear which one was the new model because every aspect was so much better. I assume that model and the model they announced are the same.
That sounds plausible. Google have two advantages: 1. They do their own capital allocation, 2. TPUs. That likely means that they can execute more training runs in parallel, experiment more, and release when they hit a crack of gold. Independent labs that depend on outside investment have to carefully trade off experiments. Hence Stargate.
I wasn't convinced of this, so I asked ChatGPT to give me the founding dates of the top 10 companies from the Wikipedia page, with an instruction to track backwards through M&A. Here's the result:

* Volkswagen: Founded on May 28, 1937, as Gesellschaft zur Vorbereitung des Deutschen Volkswagens mbH, later renamed Volkswagenwerk.

* Shell: Formed in April 1907 through the merger of Royal Dutch Petroleum Company (established in 1890) and The "Shell" Transport and Trading Company (founded in 1897).

* TotalEnergies: Established in 1924 as Compagnie Française des Pétroles (CFP).

* Glencore: Originated as Marc Rich + Co AG in 1974.

* BP: Incorporated on April 14, 1909, as the Anglo-Persian Oil Company.

* Stellantis: Formed on January 17, 2021, from the merger of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and PSA Group. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles was established through the merger of Fiat S.p.A. (founded July 11, 1899) and Chrysler Group LLC (originally Chrysler Corporation, founded June 6, 1925). PSA Group was Established as Peugeot Société Anonyme in 1966, but its roots trace back to Peugeot's original founding in 1810 as a family industrial business.

* BMW: Traces its origins to Bayerische Flugzeugwerke AG, established on March 7, 1916.

* Mercedes-Benz Group: Resulted from the merger of Benz & Cie. (founded in 1883) and Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft (founded in 1890) in 1926.

* Électricité de France (EDF): Established in 1946 following the nationalization of France's electricity sector.

* Banco Santander: Founded on May 15, 1857, as Banco de Santander.

We could do the full list and then weight by revenue or something but broadly, I think the point that 'pembrook is making is proven.

As an aside, one feature of LLMs that I genuinely do enjoy is the ability to ask for intern-level research like this.
There are definitely places now within Brooklyn that do it with an intent of creating a sense of neighborliness and community, as well as many that still do it just because that's what people have always done on their block.

My block and many of the surrounding ones in the neighborhood have block associations that organize events like block parties, clean ups, stoop sales, holiday events, backyard garden tours, workshops etc, as well as being able to advocate for the block's collective interest as a legal entity.
> one might come to the conclusion that Europeans see Americans through the lens of reporting and social media

Heck, Americans see Americans through the lens of reporting and social media.

Look at the incredibly polarized climate. Why is it a novelty to just bring together people of "opposite sides" to talk? When political "debate" is just a grounds to get your sound bites out to the media, democracy is in danger. And not just from the current administration.
I just had to reach for my Ameoba bag that I store under my backpack, on top of a bag from Newbury Comics.

I had both the original Kinect (xbox 360) and then Xbox One Kinect. I found that I was able to find a lot more libraries and projects around the original Kinect. Sadly, I misplaced the original 360 Kinect when I moved to a new house and have never been able to find it. I still have the xbox one Kinect. But it seems that there isn't lot of of development done around it. Even though it had more sensors and had better imaging.
Honestly if it’s not web (front and backend), it can’t figure it out. It makes sense though. Web has millions of examples. RE and other niche fields have far fewer examples, and the examples that do exist are extremely specific. How to pop a shell on device X: one example, extremely specific. How to write user auth for a web app: thousands of examples and generic enough it’ll work anywhere.

> and they view people who work less than 80 hours a week as lazy

In my last startup in Germany, I worked with a bunch of ex-management consultants who had all worked in a famous consultancy in the USA (you've definitely heard of it).

They all shared stories of Americans staying 12+ hours in the office but not actually doing anything. It was all performant "we're working really hard", mostly chatting to each other and scrolling social media. The Germans were incredibly frustrated because getting anything actually done was really difficult, and they ended up mostly sharing the work amongst themselves so they could actually get it done. Needless to say, their American colleagues thought they didn't work hard because they left the office after only 10 hours or so.

I've seen this in American-influenced startup culture, too - a tendency to use hours spent moistening a chair as a productivity measure, because measuring actual productivity was "too hard".

I think a lot of criticism of Scala comes from the functional paradigm. More specifically it’s trying to be a mainstream language when the concepts it represents are not quite mainstream concepts for most software. The language designers, in an attempt to make it more mainstream, allow devs to use Scala in the more mainstream way (object oriented). This flexibility, ultimately, perhaps strangely, appears to hurt its adoption because of the learning curve of dealing with a language that mixes the two concepts.

Also for me, subjectively, it honestly feels too abstract at times. You can almost feel the academic joy of the beautiful, unintelligible concepts where you can express things so succinctly, but requires a small mountain of concepts to understand how to write that nice code. It’s quite frustrating to do battle with the compiler when you don’t fully understand the type system and that initial hurdle is kind of tough to get over if you’re also trying to switch into a functional paradigm from an objected oriented one.
wha about improving the compilation time ?
> Causing inconvenience to ordinary Americans is the only way that will get through the thick brains of US Congress

No, you need to cause inconvenience specifically to the ruling class, not ordinary people. Otherwise, Congress will just hand-wave away concerns of their constituents if it doesn't affect themselves personally.

This is a software designed to specifically lure you into an MS ecosystem, not a revolutionary new thing driven by technological improvement. You are pretty much already caught if you use Outlook for that matter, but the new version puts their cloud services on the table and severely nudges you to use them.

If you repeatedly found yourself in that situation, got paid for it each time, never reported it and bragged about it, no, you would be an accomplice. You would certainly claim to be a victim. (Everyone in Silicon Valley is a victim nowadays.) But that would be a poor defence, certainly against criminal investigation.

No. It's the critics' feelings that are being hurt by continued advances, so they keep moving goalposts so they can keep believing they're right.

Agree. As a programmer that likes to sew in her free time; I do think it is significantly easier to pick 10 random people of the street and make them into excellent sewists within a year than to make them into good programmers.

Programming is harder and more specialized, but it's not harder work.
I find this a little worrying from an ethical point of view. The suggestive power of web-based LLMs could be far greater than that of traditional search, and this could well be commercially exploited if we're not careful. With traditional search, providers like Google throw in ads that look like results and bias the genuine results based on funding. This is dark, but can be circumvented with some basic guidance on how to interpret the UI, and the web pages themselves are not affected. LLMs provide a wall of text which all appears reasonable, but could very well be biased or manipulative in highly subtle ways based on whichever political parties or corporations have paid the most for influence. Whilst in principle you can tell users to externally verify the claims, people will bother less and those external sources will become less accessible/useable as LLMs become more widely used. I hold out hope that they can be mitigated, but I don't yet see how.
People talk about the web being corrupted by ads, but it's important to recognize that it completely fails at informing people what products are available to solve the problems they have, at what prices, from which vendors, and how to transport them most efficiently. Instead it's like walking through an unregulated flea market full of pickpockets and everybody's asking you to sign documents.
> And if you want portability, you can compile a Scala program with GraalVM's native-image and statically link everything with musl libc

Getting the musl stuff to work can be tricky, mostly-static (only libc dynamically linked) is an easier option.

I've built a CLI diagnostics app with Scala & NativeImage and I've embedded the Graal Python interpreter inside it to allow extension scripts to be written. The result is a zero-install executable that provides an n entire Python environment. I think that's a good showcase for one of Scala's strengths, it's interoperability with the Java ecosystem.
Scala is not just a good functional programming language. It's also possibly the best OOP language around. The magic happens when these two aspects are combined.
There is a HUGE difference between what the NYT article is reporting on and the case you describe.

Certainly the Massachusetts case you describe is as bad as -- probably worse than -- the Texas case described by the NYT article. But the NYT was using that specific case as an illustration; the point of the article is that this is happening REGULARLY, even to a majority of the cases in that county.

One-off failures of justice are unavoidable (because no system can be 100% perfect) but they must be aggressively stamped out to maintain the integrity of the system. System-wide failures mean that the integrity of the system is already gone.
I read ebooks, but it's not very difficult to determine why people like purpose-crafted goods. Especially when you pay about the same amount for an ebook. Vinyl at least has great arguments why digital copies are straight-up better. Ebooks still have a long way to go to get to that point.

I will however argue that textbooks are straight-up better in the apple books thing. Graphics and footnotes handle like crap in comparison on the kindle. I don't know why as it doesn't appear to be a technical limitation—maybe it's a format thing? Regardless, You'd get like 95% of the benefit with a pdf, though.

Every time I try an AI search engine, I always end up going back to Google. Their AI summaries at the top of search results are, honestly, "good enough."

This is, in part, because most of my Google searches are 1-4 words; as opposed to the full prose that I need to type into an LLM.

What am I missing?

I find LLMs are useful if I don't know enough to know what to search for; if I need to craft a "long-form" search query; or otherwise need to learn something in a Q-and-A format.

Edit: One of the things that ChatGPT has replaced Google, for me, is when I need a quick joke image. Instead of searching through Google Images, I just think of a quick prompt of something silly. I'm using some silly ChatGPT images in some test scripts; and now that the US courts declared they aren't protected by copyright, I know there is 0% chance I will get in trouble for them.

I think this is the biggest problem with this post. Sure, I can definitely see how it might be fun to make an app in a day or two and release it to yourself and a couple friends.

But any app that a decent number of people would want to download and use probably won’t be ’vibe coded’, any polished app made by a large corporation certainly won’t be.

The author states that developers will flee Apple because of this friction, but developers will go where the customers are, and I’m not sure a meaningful number of customers care about this.
