What do I think the conversation illustrates? Probably that having the answer in the training data doesn't get it into the output.

How does the conversation illustrate that? It isn't subtle. You can see it without reading any of the Chinese. If you want to read the Chinese, Google Translate is more than good enough for this purpose; that's what I used.
You might say that, but claiming everyone is a pedophile is such a tired political play at this point. Its primary purpose is to dehumanize people so that blatant wrongdoing can be justified.

The visceral reaction might be genuine, but the actual feelings are probably not. I have yet to see someone who actually "cares about the children". The vast majority of accusations e.g. democrats running a pedophile ring turn out to be completely manufactured. The democrats responded by giving more funding and starting projects combating child abuse, only for the republicans to gut the programs, who think they are a waste of tax payer money and an example of big government.

> look up the tracked entry, increment the counter (or initialize it if not found) and update the timestamp

Not sure about author's motivation, but this part is why I don't track usage - PoW allows you to do everything statelessly and not keep any centralised database or write any data. The benefit of a system slowing down crawling should be minimal resource usage for the server.
Reasonably speaking, the chance is 1/365, not that low.

> But when working outside C/C++ I've found myself missing the flexibility of macros more times than I can count.

Me to, and that's even in Lisp!

Preprocessor macros are hard and bugprone because they share the failings of Unix philosophy of "text as universal interface" - you're playing with unstructured (or semi-structured) pieces of text, devoid of all semantics. And this is also what makes them occasionally useful - some code transformations are much, much easier to do when you can manipulate the text form directly, ignoring syntax and grammar and everything.

Only the final value must be correct code - starting point and intermediary values can be anything, and you don't need to make sure you can get from here to there through valid data transformations. This is a really powerful capability to have.

(I also explicitly compared preprocessor macros to "plaintext everything" experience that's seen as divine wisdom, to say: y'all are slinging unstructured text down the pipes way too much, and using preprocessor way too little.)
For me the title

> Sell yourself, sell your work

is off-putting. It makes it sound like my work should become a product to be bought and sold to the highest bidder. But not everything can become a product and not everyone wants to be creating products all day, every day. Especially since once something becomes a product, the focus is on profit and no longer the actual idea - profit begins to drive development of that idea.

But then I read the article and realised that the title has nothing to do with the message:

> "Selling" to a scientist is an awkward thing to do. It's very ugly; you shouldn't have to do it. The world is supposed to be waiting, and when you do something great, they should rush out and welcome it. But the fact is everyone is busy with their own work. You must present it so well that they will set aside what they are doing, look at what you've done, read it, and come back and say, "Yes, that was good."

The author, IMHO, is talking of promotion and not selling. Which is fair enough.

Without promotion, your ideas won't reach a broader audience. But that may be fine for some people and sometimes for me. I choose not to promote my half-baked ideas - fine. That's a different feeling than to think that I can't sell my ideas or that I've wasted my time because I won't be making a profit.

Of course, "selling yourself" and "promoting yourself" is the same thing in some places on this planet, for me though, there is a fine line between the two.

On a side note, whatever happened to hobbies? Whatever happens to exploring and experimenting with ideas? If everything I do has to eventually turn a profit then I need reconsider how often I go to the toilet - is that a profitable activity?

The docs problem is more of a Google problem. For some reason Google still only shows the 1.12 docs for a lot of searches. The sidebar issue was fixed more recently, I think in the last year. But basically the sidebar wouldn't get loaded until Mermaid finished loading, so it was updated to defer loading of Mermaid. The latest version of ExDoc shouldn't have this problem.
If we are able to detect AI scrapers then I would welcome a more strategic solution: feed them garbage data instead of the real content. If enough sites did that then the inference quality would take a hit and eventually the perpetrators, too.

But of course this is the more expensive option that can't really be asked of sites that already provide public services (even if those are paid for by ads).
> The average suburban school kid has relatively little idea of how the world works and what workers actually do, and why, in part due to a culture of corporate secrecy.

What workers actually do is easy to find out. The problem is rather: for quite a lot of jobs, as a school kid, you'd rather come to the conclusion that if this is what life is about, you should rather commit suicide as soon as possible.

Similarly, understanding how the world works, gives you an insane hate for a lot of people (i.e. makes you a misanthropist). Beginning from politicians, ending with basically everybody (you get to understand that the (irrational and clearly not in their long-term self-interest) behaviour of many people around you causes perverse incentives for the markets).

Are these really the lessons that children should get?

We cancelled our cable subscription 12 years ago and never missed it. We cancelled Netflix two years ago and don't miss it. Never subscribed to the others. When we built our new house 5 years ago, we didn't even run coax drops - opting instead for CAT6 Ethernet to every room.

> Tags vs commit IDs is a tradeoff between convenience and security. Specifying an exact commit ID means the code won’t change unexpectedly, but tags are easier to read and compare.

Imagine if we could specify both the tag and its commit, and the runner would check, at run-time, whether the specified tag is still pointing to the specified commit. This would essentially "lock" the dependency. Although storing such "locks" inline would probably be a bit too ugly, maybe we could instead collect them all and store them in a separate "file of locks", so to speak. Does anyone know if something like this has been tried before or am I just making up stupid stuff?

GitHub’s dependency graph is supposed to give us this kind of visibility without any custom scripting, but from my experience it’s pretty spotty and often misses dependencies entirely.

Also, the script from the article doesn’t cover transitive GitHub Actions dependencies. So if a third-party action you’re using relies on a vulnerable action internally, it won’t catch that.
I'm in the same boat. This whole thing is a War of Attrition, and my enemies are willing because I am getting too old and increasingly stressed out to keep up with and counter their irrationality.

Europe suffers from another kind of "corruption", more akin to a corrupted file system: absurd, rigid and unpredictable regulation makes life very hard for businesses, which drives large private capital away.

I am European, and every time I open one of those stupid locked-on bottle caps, I feel pain for my country, for Europe (and for my face).
That perspective, as anything US based, is very US centric and wrong.

EU supported US war on terror, or whatever you call last 25 years of US invasions, with our own troops and what did we get out of that? Immigration crisis. We basically had to spend huge amounts of money on handling immigrants because of all the wars US (our so called ally) started.

Also, EU banks invested a lot of money in US scam financial institutions and our saving got wiped out in 2008. All of that money dissapeared in US economy.

US doesn't charge you for services by issuing an itemized bill, but instead they suck it out through different venues. Like a leach. I guess you can easily ignore things like that if it doesn't fit your narrative.

You are at the same time complaining that the EU is too dependent on US and that it doesn't pay its' share. The main problem with dependence is that you don't develop your own industry and instead you rely on imports and send money to other countries for services. So how can EU at the same time be both dependent on US and not sending money to US? That doesn't make any sense.

Citizens of EU have been complaining about reliance on US to our governments for years, but our bureaucrats ignored it and kept sending money over seas because it was the easiest thing to do.
Current US administration has finally shown that this dependence is dangerous, and now hopefully instead of sending money to US they will divert it into EU economy.

Coding per se was never the crux of most seasoned software engineers.

The name engineering hints at it.

> skills like problem-solving, communication, and selling ideas are becoming just as essential

They always were. Coding was the easy part and you definitely were coding the wrong thing if you were not "problem solving".

Your conclusion of giving value to those things is right regardless of how you get there so I'll stop being an asshole but just remember that it was never specifically about coding but about automated systems with simplicity, maintainability and evolvability as characteristics.

You must have heard the phrase about spending more time reading than writing (code). Or thinking.

Has RL changed since then?
My writing rules are:

* Explain, don’t “sell”. If something is significant and you explain it well, the significance will be obvious without artificial emphasis.

* Explain, don’t “persuade”. Don’t assume agreement before or after. Make your reasoning clear. Don’t assert credibility or pressure for acceptance.

* Clarity and brevity compound each other. If you are clear, you don’t have to spell out every detail, or review important points.

If you find yourself trying to explain what you have explained, you have not been clear or concise and are now spiraling. Rethink. Rewrite.

* Finally, state your main point/purpose up front. For everything, every section, every paragraph. Gets attention. Filters readers by relevance. Assists clarity & brevity.

Avoid mixing multiple or deeper points, that are better communicated separately.

Find an unmissable visual way to indicate where the first point/purpose was accomplished, and additional material has a related but new purpose.
Given the number of incidents reported we can draw two assumptions: 1) They were not looking or 2) They were but it was not media reported as they are now.

The factual claim made in the comment was "The whole issue with her emails is she purposely never labeled anything so as to have plausible deniability." This is not true. This is made up post rationalization and again. It even can not be proven or disproven by whether there was some possibly maybe secret information.

That thing where one side is given unbelievable benefit of the doubt that literally ignores what was happening or is happening is not healthy.

Not sure this is such a novel or unique take. I’ve always liked the poem and it has always had this undercurrent for me.

It’s captured well in this paragraf from the poem’s Wikipedia page:

“Frost spent the years 1912 to 1915 in England, where among his acquaintances was the writer Edward Thomas. Thomas and Frost became close friends and took many walks together. One day, as they were walking together, they came across two roads. Thomas was indecisive about which road to take, and in retrospect often lamented that they should have taken the other one. After Frost returned to New Hampshire in 1915, he sent Thomas an advance copy of "The Road Not Taken". Thomas took the poem seriously and personally, and it may have been significant in his decision to enlist in World War I. Thomas was killed two years later in the Battle of Arras.”

EDIT: Also, I don’t really see a contradiction here. It’s very possible to value non-conformism while acknowledging that it’s hard and not always beneficial to go your own way (as is made clear in the example above).

Maybe. But even if that turns out to be true, what good is it for the source website? The "AI" will surely not share any money (or anything else that may help the source website) with the source anyways. Why would they, they already got the content and trained on it.
But what skills do any politicians have? Most are career politicians, without non-political experience. Reagan had his acting experience. As a property developer and TV personality, Trump does have real-life experience, in a way most politicos don't.

I wonder how many of the stresses people seem to be having would be solved by following the actor model Ractors claim to be - with mailboxes of inbound, single-threaded operation queues, etc. I suppose you still need to have a way to safely append to the end of each mailbox and therein lies the difficulty, though.

addendum: I haven't done anything with Ractors, so I don't know if the mailbox is already a solved problem

Though why does this article use so much Rust if the story is about Ruby :|

addendum 2: a cursory glance at Ruby's own Ractor docs seems to suggest that such tooling and mailboxes do exist in the Ractor ecosystem, which makes me curious about actors being forced to behave in a paradigm that they're not intended for to comply with one of many paradigms that can be used to do parallelism.

I suppose it's because I'm quite a fan of the actor-based model that I find it frustrating; but, as with anything, the hacker spirit and encouraging unique and interesting behaviors - even with a bit of runtime enhancements and compiled code referencing - is interesting to see
>Of course the model may hallucinate, but in this case it takes a few clicks in the dev tools to verify that this is not the case.

I don't know - or care to figure out - how OpenAI does their tool calling in this specific case. But moving tool calls to the end user is _monumentally_ stupid for the latency if nothing else. If you centralize your function calls to a single model next to a fat pipe it means that you halve the latency of each call. I've never build, or seen, a function calling agent that moves the api function calls to client side JS.

Honestly, the "advice" that I got from basically all of these chatterbots when I presented them some provocative, polarizing, "very different from ordinary thinking" political statements was far more "bossy" and "lecturing" than the judgements that basically every teacher would give. It was rather easy to get some AI models to actually stop willing to continue the communication with me.
