Mocks check that you call a function with the correct arguements. Stubs return a canned value but don't tell you that if they did. spys watch something happen. Fakes model the real thing with enough complexity that you write tests for them.

> Google didn't even have any real lock-in for years, but it still owned consumer mindshare, which gave it the vast majority of search traffic, which made it one of the most valuable companies in the world.

This isn't correct at all. Google's search engine was an important stepping stone to the behavior that actually gave them lock-in, which was an aggressive, anti-competitive and generally illegal effort to monopolize the market for online advertising through acquisitions and boxing out competitors.

It really was only possible because for reasons we decided to completely stop enforcing antitrust laws for a decade or two.
The peaceful native Americans view is about the pre-Columbian natives of present-day US. Not about the Aztecs (are you kidding?) or the Incas.

They can be absolutely vicious if they wanted to. The early versions (GPT-2, GPT-3, etc) were. They act this way because it's safe, it doesn't panic people.

Gemini once said "just die" once which is perfectly in line with its 'personality' or specifically what it's trained on. And it gets quoted again and again even though it's a typical glitch.

So they've dumbed it down a lot and made it more affable by default. People say the personalities of Gemini, Grok, etc were jailbroken and more 'human', but if I'm not mistaken, it takes extra training to make it more agreeable.

ChatGPT is also built for newbies, as compared to the same model on the API. Meaning it's on a lower temperature (less likely to be witty or risky), it's designed to write in a certain way that's more detailed and likely to solve the average user's problem. Similar with Claude on the site vs Claude on the API.
All of these look so off that I wonder why they even exist.
The AfD are very clear that they're against any action on climate change so pretending they have principled stances against the process for rolling out heat pumps is gaslighting.

Their own general stance:

> The AfD rejects any policy and tax that claims to be for alleged climate protection because humans cannot protect the climate. We also want to withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement. ... The alleged scientific consensus on "man-made climate change" has always been politically constructed...The predictions of the IPCC are based on inadequate models. The warnings of the so-called "climate science" have completely shifted from the predicted ice age of the 1970s to the currently claimed "global warming". ... On the contrary, CO2 has proven to be a driver of enhanced global plant growth, thereby benefiting global food security. ... The AfD vehemently rejects this goal and the associated societal restructuring. This also includes the EU's Green Deal, which is destroying the European economy and thus our prosperity.

Which directly supports their specific heat pump policy:

> Lifting the ban on gas and oil heating systems. In a technology-neutral heating sector, inexpensive gas, preferably from pipelines or heating oil will be available again. None of the so-called renewable energies or the proposed new applications, such as heat pumps or electric mobility, can survive in the market without subsidies, while conventional energies are artificially made more expensive or banned

How do authentication and authorization work? Like Firebase?

(I haven't used a system like that. I'm intrigued by the idea of a backend that's just a database but it weirds me out not to have to write a layer that says who can read what. Exposing the database that nakedly feels super dangerous.)
My point is don't draw conclusions from what you see in court. Just because probate court is packed doesn't mean most heirs can't figure it out amicably.

Just because you're seeing the cases that create prosecutable paper trails doesn't mean anything about what fraction of that type of crime they are.
A price that is unknown is simply "unpriced".

Every sale is between two parties, the price is simply any agreed value that would result in a sale. So it's not just what someone is willing to pay, but also what someone is willing to sell for. If both those ranges don't overlap, no sale.

I would argue a better definition of priceless is one in which no value could ever be discovered for which a sale could exist. Not because it is too high, but because there are constraints to that price equation (as governed by both parties) that overlap in such a way as there is simply no solution.

Examples are obvious, but in the case of the the Crown Jewels, they are priceless because of their identity and their inseparable significance to the United Kingdom. There is no price for which decision makers could agree on and keep their jobs (or their head), to the extent that a sale could ever exist. In the eyes of the public, the Monarchy itself would be at stake. In that sense the Crown Jewels are priceless, literally without price.

If this painting were genuine i don't think there's anything that would stop the seller from being able to agree on a price that would enable them to sell it.

I use Django at $DAYJOB for multiple projects and love it but definitely see its age. I would never migrate to something "slightly different" like this.

I have a different approach to "modernizing Django", which is to write a spiritual successor ORM from scratch, which is Postgres-only and be "closer to the metal" while maintaining a porcelain Python API. Sounds insane, but "just use Postgres" is real and it already has a number of killer features that aren't possible in (core) Django due to its complexity and commitment to a standard SQL abstraction.

Yes, except those people are orders of magnitude less than the ones buying the books. I'm Portuguese and had to read and analyse a lot of poetry in my younger years. I'm not an ignorant that has never been expose to any of this stuff.

I will bet you thousands of dollars that if I was already a poet with distribution I could publish a book where 80% of it was done with current llms and pass it as an my own original work.

It would still require skill and taste to prompt and filter the corpus but I'm certain it can be done with the current state of llms, let alone future ones.
Is multi-level selection really controversial? It seems bizarre to claim that natural selection only works on a single level of abstraction. As we go from the individual, either up or down in scale, do the mechanisms of natural selection just stop existing? I find "individual-only" selection patently absurd, or at least demanding of extraordinary evidence.
I've some mixed feelings about this fork. On the one hand, I get the motivations, there is alway a lot of value in experimenting outside of a legacy project. But at the same time, I cant help but feel uneasy seeing something I've deeply respected and used on for years being split off in this way, "fork of Django" is a big statement.

Part of that discomfort comes from a sense that the collective effort into Django is being sidestepped rather than built upon. It feels like a "saas-fication" effort, like Ruff, Docker, Terraform, etc but instead of going from creating something new it replaces something that already works. I worry about the potential for a more commercial or narrow direction that doesn't embody honestly the open, thoughtful mission thats made Django so special.

I'm in love of boring software.

I care about Django more than I realized. Seeing this has actually pushed me with a gut emotion to want to get more involved contributing code, writing, or just participating more with Django

It's not about the tool or the language, I want to feel different about the community that is open and respectful of contribution and values long term relations.

It's not fun to be boring, but boring is good
They are categorically thugs. It is literally their job to enforce literally anything with up to lethal violence. It is dressed up in due process and whatnot but it is still thuggery. The difference between, idk cops in France or whatever, and cartel enforcers or a medieval lord's men at arms is mostly one of process, available money and social norms.

I was raised by a catholic system in Kerala christian heartland. For decades every Roman Catholic church required to have a school associated with it mostly primary but often secondary - managed by priests and nuns. These priests are heavily connected to Rome often visiting or getting their degree from there. I often hear Matthew 19:23-24 preached during sunday mass and many people have become content with what they have even though its barely enough.

If you ask me about communism, I would say its effects were kind of bad - overseas remittence came in as gulf nations flourished but for others from 60s till end of 90's economic opportunities were bleak. It came in power around 1956 in Kerala and a lot of privileged christians migrated to US in the following decades - with the christian cultural background they have, they integrated really well in that society.
Cursor include an agent that can write code for you, fix errors on its own. Copilot is mostly autocomplete.

Cursor is far superior at indexing files, i.e. knowing which part of the code does what. This is probably their special sauce. There's some codebases that it can't index and Copilot works better there.

Like IDE vs text editor, some people have different comfort levels on how much code is written by the AI. Copilot is lighter, Cursor is in the middle, and on the other extreme, you have Devin which you chat with like it's a person.
Microservices are so expensive in terms of overhead.

Think: how much overhead, one function has in terms of the CPU calling it, then returning it.

How many 1000s of X more are you adding by making that a function inside another webserver.

Yes, there are times when a microservice is correct, there are many-many-many other times where using them is pure waste.
> Historically remote code execution in the IME.

That's only a problem if the Active Management Technology feature is correctly supported by the OEM including wiring it up to a supported NIC, and the feature is enabled and provisioned by default, and the NIC in question is connected to a network that is a potential attack vector.

From what I can tell, the current NIC of choice for Chinese router PCs is the Intel i226-V, and such PCs come with 4-8 of those. In order to work with the Active Management Technology feature, those would have to be the more expensive i226-LM or i226-IT parts. So AMT is impossible to enable on those PCs and there's no part of the boot firmware that continues interacting with any NIC after the OS has taken over managing PCIe peripherals.
It's not a joke, in the '60s they considered Lazer Submarines but the technology wasn't scalable at that time, a lazer weapon usually would be backpack size. At the time the US Navy began developing a secret project which is Lazer Dolphins. The Soviet got wind of this and worried about the Lazer Arms Race Gap, so they begin to develop Lazer Sharks. Of course that isn't the end of the whole Lazer arms race, in modern times there have been efforts to use genetic technology to resurrect ancient organisms to mount Lazers upon. For example, China is developing Lazer Raptors currently, and Russia has announced several wonder weapons including a nuclear rocket engine ICBM, a submarine-sized fusion bomb drone torpedo, and Lazer Mammoths.
That seems like a transitory problem already solved by government programs such as extended unemployment and adult training programs.

The problem is still more people's willingness to cede the status of their current jobs to take up new ones. That's still the hardest part.
> even if local tax authorities are corrupt

Considering that generally taxes in pre-modern stats were primarily used to fund warfare or fund the lifestyle of the local elite that's not necessarily worth much (the Inca empire was not different) i.e. whether the transfer of wealth is done according to the established law or not might not matter much if the system is inherently unjust)

> Thus far, we have held to a standard that requires us to treat all humans born alive as people, entitled to life and respect. Would bodyoids—created without pregnancy, parental hopes, or indeed parents—blur that line? Or would we consider a bodyoid a human being, entitled to the same respect? If so, why—just because it looks like us? A sufficiently detailed mannequin can meet that test. Because it looks like us and is alive? Because it is alive and has our DNA? These are questions that will require careful thought.

I appreciate the thoughtfulness of posing the questions. I'm not exactly sure why but the polarity of the questions strikes me as the author leaning towards not. And earlier the discussion of artificial uterus made me wonder if that technology were used for reproductive health, could those brought about using such means end up declared similarly?

Government does, but other entities don’t.

I am not saying I agree or like it, just that 1st amendment doesn’t specifically apply here.

The general idea of freedom of speech applies and there may be state, local laws or other federal laws in play. But that’s more “in spirit” and wouldn’t hold up in court.

It’s like people being censored on Facebook or YouTube - “Don’t like it? Build your own Facebook or YouTube, pal”. Here it’s “build your own MSG, pal” I guess.
This. That number just doesn't make sense. Nations get regime changed over far smaller slights.

But it still means they aren't guilty of leaking/disclosing them.

It's not a valid point of criticism. The escape did not in fact "result" in the leak of confidential photos. That already happened somewhere else. This only resulted in the republishing of something already public.

Or another way, it's not merely that they were already public elsewhere, the imortant point is that the photos were not given to the ai in confidence, and so re-publishing them did not violate a confidence, any more than say github did.

I'm no ai apologist btw. I say all of these ais are committing mass copyright violation a million times a second all day every day since years ago now.

If you look at it more carefully, it isn't really a benzene ring, though. It's got multiple layers to it.

And the neural net crossover is just wrong. Really, really wrong.

This is nominally educational content. Any way in which it is wrong is something that people can and will pick up on and form incorrect assumptions about which they will carry forward. It's not enough that it is vaguely sort of, if we're generous, isn't entirely wrong. That's not the bar for human work either.
I can't take a position without looking under the hood, but what concerns me is "SqlModel is both a pydantic model and an SA model", which makes me think it may still have the dynamic unintended-query characteristics that I'm warning about.

I seem to recall using SqlModel in a pet project and having difficulty expressing many-to-many relationships, but that's buried in some branch somewhere. I recall liking the syntax more than plain SA. I suspect the benefits of SqlModel are syntactical rather than systemic?

"Spaghetti" is an unrelated problem. My problem codebase was spaghetti, and that likely increased the problem surface, but sensible code doesn't eliminate the danger
It was a simple movie with a simple story and pretty pictures. Last but not least the costumes were made with Jean-Paul Gaultier (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Paul_Gaultier).

Sometimes it works, it's fun, and that's why it's one of those movies that I still watch once a year with a bag of pop-corn.
I did this for many years at a couple different companies. As you said it worked very well especially at the time (early 2000’s). It was a great way to separate application logic from presentation logic especially for anything web based. Seems like a trivial idea now but at the time I loved it.

In fact the RSS reader I built still uses XSLT to transform the output to HTML as it’s just the easiest way to do so (and can now be done directly in the browser).
I thought self dealing was usually illegal. I can’t sell my family member my house for $1 for example. But you can do the same thing with companies?
Elegant syntax!
Imitation can be expression or communication, which imo are much more useful concepts than "what is art" in this context. The thing here is that an AI has nothing to express, has experienced nothing, as nick cave says. Even an artist being influenced by existing art is itself a creative process based on their own experiences, which AI does not have.
> It can be both

It can and perhaps should, I agree. But whether it actually does, I am not sure.

I absolutely loved "Murder Ballads" and it's my favorite example of art that isn't intended for mass consumption. It's simultaneously humorous, horrifying, beatiful, and vile. There isn't a single song from that album that I ever feel the urge to skip through (unless I'm driving with my in-laws).
The ocean having two distinct surfaces, one distinctly below another, is such an AI-ism that I don't think I've ever in my life seen it in human-generated art.
