Well I can accept that argument, it's interesting, but I think I want to disagree. I'm not American, I'm French and I live in China, and in both countries I know so well, the population seem to have many spectrums: young vs old, moderates vs angry, rich vs poor, nature-driven vs success-driven, tired vs energetic etc. So with all those dimensions, France ended up with 12 parties at the presidential election, from royalists to anarchists, going through greens, communists, centrists etc. China ended up with one.

France embraced the chaos and made it a point of pride, while China finds it absolutely terrifying and unproductive - but my point is that the population is exactly the same, scarily similar, in all its funny diversity, but the system is not a mirror of it, just an awkward model built on compromises: France wants to maximize representability and China wants to maximize order.

The US system is pragmatic: need to win, need to give the people a feeling of choice but not give them any sort of real power of structural change, and they split on a strange line, for most of the world, that I have even trouble to describe myself. I think Trump pleases people there because he pretends to be a structure reformist, which sounds fresh.

It's not the people who can't be diverse politically exactly, it's more complex.
The 80s had tons of scifi based on nuclear annihilation, pent up fears about nuclear annihilation based on the cold war. I dont know if that 'lead' us to a better future but we got an at least slightly better future. So the impact of pessimistic scifi is somewhere between nil and good.

> You therefore get code that locally looks good, even if it has security mistakes. Instead of one source of error - the developer interpolated - you now have three.

Could you give examples of this?

> The developer forgot to interpolate

What would this look like? The only way to get dynamic/user input into a template is either through interpolation or concatenation.

Before:

f"..html_str..." + user_provided_str # oops! should have: html_str + sanitize(user_provided_str)

After:

t"...html_template..." + user_provided_str # oops! should have: t"...html_template...{user_provided_str}"

Does this really leave us worse off?

Unless you're referring to something like this:

Before:

html = "love > war" # oops! should have been: html = "love &gt; war"

After:

html = "love > war" # oops! should have been: html = t"love &gt; war"

But then the two scenarios are nearly identical.

> the developer chose the wrong interpolation

What kind of interpolation would be the "wrong interpolation"?

> or the interpolation itself got it wrong.

Isn't that analogous to sanitize(user_provided_str) having a bug?
That’s a fair comparison, but we’re aiming for something much deeper than just a pretty landing page.

Openspot is about curated professional identity. It lets people showcase not just what they do, but who they are — through video, audio, projects, and real storytelling. It’s built to help people stand out in a world where resumes are starting to look the same (especially with AI).

We’re also bringing in discovery tools for recruiters, so it’s not just a personal page — it’s a real alternative to the resume-black-hole problem.
Marketing should use their imagination!

Imagine putting dice and random objects (cups, forks..) on a table, pointing your phone at them and asking it to invent a new game for your friends. Tell it to use these objects and also use the live camera as a gameplay element.

Or recognizing bird or plant species.

Or helping a blind person go hiking, helping avoid tree roots and describing the beautiful scenes they’re in.

So much possibility!
Not only do I really l talk to my cats, but they talk to me too! We're about equal in our abilities to understand each other; sometimes one of my cats might just run around for a bit yell-meowing and it's not clear why, but I'm sure they feel the same way when I occasionally get upset at things. Other times, like when one of them starts whine-meowing when I'm putting their wet food into a bowl, I know _exactly_ what's she's saying even if it doesn't actually cause me to get it done any faster.

>> A 2021 report from the same group showed a significant rise in the number of 8- to 12-year-olds with a smartphone, from 24% in 2015 to 43% in 2021.

I am thinking if the 8 - 10 age group skew this figures. I would expect 11-12 to have a smartphone at 60+% rate. Partly because at that age it is hard to resist peer pressure that their friends all have one.

Normally I am against government making decisions for us. But this case it makes it easier. At least the government could mandate all schools to limit Smartphone usage under certain age.

Huh, i guess i both agree and disagree with this article.

I disagree that black mirror has to save the world. Art doesn't have to literally save the world to be useful, it just has to add to the conversation. The fact we are talking about it proves that it has.

On the other hand, i've never really liked black mirror that much. It feels polemical to me. Its unrelenting pessimism robs it of nuance, which makes it feel flat to me. To be clear it doesn't have to be happy, it can still be grim and dark, but when every character is a terrible character, it undermines the story

Take the episode "nosedive" where everyone is obsessed with social media ratings. Compare it to other people who copied it (meow meow beans in community, or majority rule in the orvile). I think the other tv shows did it better and honestly made technology look worse, because they had characters that weren't cartoon villians.

Maybe the part i don't like about black mirror is not that it showd technology stripping people of their hummanity but that all its characters already lack humanity so there is nothing to strip, which is kind of boring.
> is tricking the compiler into producing the behavior you described not the expected and intended behavior?

It might be what that programmer intended and expected, but they should not expect it. E.g. the current compiler might check for 0, and a future more optimized compiler might optimize out that check (because it knows the Option is not None) and then e.g. perform an out-of-bounds array access (if you were using that NonZeroU8 as an index into some kind of 1-based array).
T-strings, like f-strings, are eagerly evaluated -- so in this sense, no, there's no benefit.

I'm not sure the pessimistic screes are so bad. We need criticism to keep us honest and make sure we think things through a bit.

I think the issue is that we seem to be getting less creative and less adventurous. We have fewer visions and stories of what could be.
> [During Covid] In a moment when screens kept us connected, protected and employed, the reductiveness of dystopian science fiction felt silly. Biotechnology like GMOs and mRNA offered existential hope, rather than risk.

He can thank Elon & the Tech Lords for bringing the public perception of tech right back into dystopian nightmare territory.

But even apart from that, this seems like an extremely selective recollection of the Covid era. Yes, technology was a livesaver during that time, and we all were using it in frequency and to a degree like never before. (And indeed even that time brought lasting new "skills" which offer genuine new possibilities, like the new casualness and ubiquity of online meetings)

But I also remember that tech didn't actually feel very empowering during, on the contrary: Suddenly being online changed from something fun and interesting to mandatory: You had to be online, even for the things you'd much rather do offline. What been an extension of possibilities before now became a constraint. This definitely made it feel much more dystopian than before.

> We must move away from binary tales of catastrophe, not towards naive utopianism that ignores problems and risks that comes with change, but hopeful solutionism that reminds us we can solve and mitigate them [...]

I think this misunderstands the reasons why people are wary of new technology and instead pulls up the old "Luddite" strawman (which was itself a misrepresentation).

Of course we could introduce new tech carefully and with a strong emphasis of identifying and mitigating the risks. The problem is that we won't do that, because the incentives point into the opposite direction. Companies don't want to fall behind, so they move fast and break things instead of being careful. The general population then finds themselves as guinea pigs in barely tested new technology with little power to actually influence the course this technology takes. This causes a feeling of helplessness and resentment.

I feel like a big problem in the modern world is the small scale of our dreams. Dreams drive us, they change the world. In 1865, French author Jules Verne decided to write a book to inspire people to dream big, impossible dreams. He decided to write a novel proving that humans could do anything- by describing how, if enough people worked together, they could journey all the way to the moon. This became one of the first hit books in a new genre, science fiction. Sure, plenty of people had written about travelling to the moon before- e.g. the Roman poet Lucian wrote of being sucked up into a giant waterspout and deposited on the moon- but Verne was the first to write at a level of detail that made is seem realistic, something that humans could do- e.g. he spends several pages discussing- with math- how, if you are in America and want to go into space, the coast of Florida is the right spot (he picked a spot two hundred km from Cape Canaveral).
These stories are important. The fathers of rocketry in at least two different countries (Konstantin Tsiolkovsky of Russia and Hermann Oberth of Germany) were inspired by Verne (Goddard of the US was more inspired by H.G. Wells than Verne). They independently realized that you couldn't build a cannon (like Verne depicted) that could let humans survive and get to the moon, so they went into rocketry. Verne and H.G. Wells told stories that were the first step to changing the world.

And modern science fiction seems stuck in a dystopian rut. Most of the good sci-fi (and I enjoy things like the Murderbot Diaries) are largely dystopic. Hell, Star Trek- long the most utopian of sci-fi- is doing movies about Section 31 and whole seasons about android slave uprisings. No one is inspired to build a better future by "Don't create the Torment Nexus", they just get inspired to build the Torment Nexus.

Basically, we are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be, as Kurt Vonnegut wrote.

Thank you for reading my TED talk.
"The Jungle" by Upton Sinclair published in 1906 described an extremely pessimistic vision of the exploitation of the American factory worker. The descriptions of the meat packing industry in the book led to passing of the Meat Inspection Act. Sinclair was frustrated that most people were more concerned about eating bovine tuberculosis infected beef than the exploitation of people, but, nonetheless, it was pessimistic novel which lead to positive action.

Here's the pending GCC 15 release notes: https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-15/changes.html (since the link in the article points to GCC 14)

- I'd love to see godbolt examples of the sort of optimizations [[unsequenced]] and [[reproducible]] can do.

- GCC has always been in my experience smart enough to know how to optimize normal C code into ROL and ROR instructions. I've never had any issues with it. So what's the point of __builtin_stdc_rotate_left()? Why create a builtin when it is not needed? What I wish GCC and Clang would do instead, is formally document the magic ANSI C89 incantations that trigger the optimization, e.g. `#define ROL(x, n) (((x) << (n)) | ((x) >> (64 - (n))))`. That way we can have clean portable code with less #ifdef hell along with assurances it'll go fast when -O is passed.

- What is "Abs Without Undefined Behavior (addition of builtins for use in future C library <stdlib.h> headers)."?

- What is "Allow zero length operations on null pointers"?

- Re: "Introduce complex literals." How about some __int128 literals?

- "The "redzone" clobber is now allowed in inline assembler statements" wooo I've wanted something like this for a while.

Great work from the greatest compiler team!
> the template string expression itself (resulting in a Template object) will take a long while to evaluate

Are you saying that calling:

template = t”{fib_slow()}”

Will immediately run the function, as opposed to when the __str__ is called (or is it because of __repr__?) - Apparent I might just have to sit down with the code and grok it that way, but thanks for helping me understand!

Can't think of a good reason now on why I would need this rather than just a simple f-string.

Any unsafe string input should normally be sanitized before being added in a template/concatenation, leaving the sanitization in the end doesn't seem like the best approach, but ok.

What I got out of the book was two things:

* The DSM is bollocks and metabolic dysfunction explains all mental illness.

Yeah but toxic optimism won’t lead us to a better future either. We need optimists to work towards a better society and pessimists to keep them in check when they are being naive to a fault. Optimists built the nukes, pessimists keep us from using them.

For a docs site with no special requirements, I'd be surprised if Hugo or another SSG can't do what they need out of the box. So, it's the cost of implementing your own SSG vs. the cost of figuring out how to use an existing one.

Also, just as a datapoint, I've been using Hugo on multiple sites for about five years, and I don't recall ever having to drop into Go to fix an issue. Hugo might be unique in this regard, as it ships as a single-file binary. You have to learn Go templates, but you don't have to learn anything about Go the language or standard library.

Before Go, I used Jekyll, and I don't recall ever having to learn Ruby, but I did have to work within the Ruby ecosystem because Jekyll required a Ruby environment.

Incidentally, TigerBeetle seems to have rolled their own rudimentary templating language, too.[0] I think that has potential to either limit the functionality they need or cause a lot of bugs.
