I can empathize. Part of what we require seems to be better detection and signaling of which accounts are most and least likely to be human but I'm not sure if we'll get that in the biggest forums.

LLMs can practically pass the Turing test in this context so on one hand, this should become worse, but on the other hand we are not that far from where the LLM comments are about as worth as the random real ones anyway. And if you want more than this level, you have to curate better.
I'm reminded of some of the 'virtue' of the crassness and unfriendliness of the chans - namely, they are not friendly to corporations. No corporation wants to be found to be associated with such a place, spewing slurs and bigotry, however ironic, in order to sell their goods.

This has its own problems, obviously, but there is something to a monied-interests-unfriendly set of cultural shibboleths.
It's all true but they have one advantage over everything from the last two decades or so: latency. Obviously it's double lost if you try to reconstruct just the aesthetics.

How to define "floating freely" is not easy to define. The potential energy surface of gravitation extends in 1/r wgich makes it a long range interaction. So if the earth attraction is small enough that you want to neglect it, you may still be trapped in the sun potential well. And if you can escape the sun attraction you are still prisoner of the galaxy. There is no 0 gravity, but there is various levels of neglectable gravity of course. But neglectable is always defined relative to whatever you want to measure.

> any humour, whether good or in poor taste, is mercilessly punished by downvoting and faux outrage.

I've made my share of (attempted) humourous posts on HN.

The main pushback I've gotten has been from people who want to keep the conversations focused on "serious" discussion.
I have been using CrossLine (https://github.com/rochus-keller/crossline/) for the last 16 years for this purpose; before I used Netmanage Ecco Pro (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecco_Pro). Of course there is a cursor for writing.

Nobody’s perfect, but not allowing GMOs without long term impact assessments was seems like the right decision.

It might have the saved the EU tens to hundreds of billions in fixing the after effects of glyphosate on human food, which the US is now dealing with.

It’s quite simple - protect your food source, protect it from any change whatsoever that’s not 100% necessary, and you are likely protecting the health of hundreds of millions.
Before Apple moved to TSMC, 95% of so called tech world has no idea what TSMC was. Even on HN.

In 10 - 20 Years time, most hardware will be free and subsided by Software. Because hardware is easy to copy and make while Software is infinite complexity. That is what I believe Bill Gate said in late 90s or early 2000.

And that has famously stuck with Silicon Valley ever since. No one gives a damn about hardware. iPhone was expected to start a trend ( or not for some ), the industry didn't expect Apple's iPhone to be as big, they all thought these expensive iPhone would only be 1 - 2% of the market.

There is no money in PC or hardware. Dell famously sold PC nearly at a loss and only earn money from Intel's marketing programme as well as preinstalled software.

It is precisely this idea the west has simply gave up on anything Hardware and all focus on either software or Hardware IP.

All while China went "ALL IN" with making Hardware. Not only do they have far more efficient Government, they also have far more subsidies. Take TSMC for example, if money wasn't a problem, how fast could you build a new Fab in US compared to Taiwan? Which for TSMC operate at similar level of efficiency compared to Chinese Government.

And US Government isn't even slow, try UK, EU, Canada or AUS.
Which was 100% right.

You are a sad minority, IME. I’m right there with you. I extended the uuid library to generate UUIDv7, based off of the RFC. It’s pretty easy to implement, as it turns out. Overruled, because “we don’t want to have to maintain additional code.” As if the ABI for bitshifts is going to change?!
I'd be interested in more specifics here. I've been in a few bootloops with GrapheneOS early on but I've always been able to get out of them by keeping cool and not prematurely trying to reflash and wipe. Eventually the phone always booted (I think that it's due to the A/B partition system where eventually the phone will try to boot the other "working" partition again. But sometimes this would take a while).

It hasn't happened in a year though and I've been happily upgrading lately. I'm not saying you couldn't have run into a unique bug but I'd find it surprising if your phone was really left completely bricked except for reflashing/wiping it.

I regret to inform you that america is not and has never been a unique snowflake. An important player in the world, sure, but one that has long been obsessed with the notion that it is special in some way, and it's just not true.

Every country is at risk of going batshit crazy, and it's always been disturbing how americans seem the truly believe they are immune, because when that belief gets challenged…

As long as they got a timer, so the bots react "between 10 and 30 mins later" and they got a limit to "5 interactions per day", otherwise, if some-five coders forget those limits, and we end up having 5 bots interacting within a 1ms of the 'previous post', Reddit will run out of storage space :)
For very intricate code - literally print code out and find a quiet corner and get a pen. Reduce distractions. Mark it up like I’m reading a complex piece of literature.
I'm also wondering about the internals though. There are a couple of places that GC and the hypothetical sufficiently-smart-compiler are called out in the article where you could think there might be improvements possible without breaking existing code.
I agree with your general point, but I just read the book "Your life is manufactured" by Tim Minshall, in which he describes the production of toilet paper in detail and it's a surprising global industry. Wood pulp with the correct density comes from a few specific places on the globe (Scandinavia and South America apparently).
The same same for the human professions, a set of agreed upon guidelines on acting in service of the client, and enforcement of penalties against identifiable instances of prioritizing the interests of another party over the client.

There will always be grey areas, these exist when human responsibilities are set also, and there will be those who skirt the edges. The matters of most concern are quite easily identifiable.

There was a time when it was all about .com and there was no omnibar. Now there are almost 1600 tlds! Even though a 1 word domain may be hard to find, if you are creative you can always find something.

A special domain is a nice to have, not a “have to have” for marketing. Usually people who hold domains want 10x or more than most web developers (think real estate developer not software developer) want to pay.
Sure, we can throw code over the wall faster. Is that all that matters though? Just like in poetry, prose, images, etc, AI generates average or worse code. Sure, it may do the job and if your goal is to be average, fine, you should be worried. But has anyone with deep knowledge in programming and a desire to excel actually looked at AI-generated code and thought "omg, this is a work of art. it's so perfect and maintenance will be much easier than anything I could have done! plus, it matches all the requirements from the stakeholders"?

Don't get me wrong, it lets me be more productive sometimes but people that think the days of humans programming computers are numbered have a very rosy (and naive) view of the software engineering world, in my opinion.
Maybe OP is a bot too. You never know.
It's entirely up to you. You can just write Haskell with IO everywhere, and you'll basically be working in a typical modern language but with a better type system. Main is IO, after all.

> if the program were running and the system crashed half way through, we'd still have logs for everything that was processed up to the point it crashed

Design choice. This one is all IO and would export logs after every step:

forM_ entries $ \entry -> do
(result, logs) <- process entry
export logs
handle result

Remember, if you can do things, you can log things. So you're not going to encounter a situation where you were able to fire off an action, but could not log it 'because purity'.
GrapheneOS' own camera app doesn't have Google's propriety processing, so it's not as good as stock, but with Pixel devices, you can install the original Google Camera/Pixel Camera app and get the original camera quality.
Some people post in different timezones, so capture the attention of 'as many as possible', but you are likely correct as previous post was 22h ago (so almost same time yesterday), and not 4/8/12/16/20 hours ago.
True that. Largely avoid Reddit cause of well... everything. Replaced it with this site and Twitter (occasionally).
For me, it’s the opposite, I had somewhat lost my love for my job as a developer between two JavaScript framework wars or wars between craftsmanship and agile.
I think we now have the opportunity to return to addressing actual needs. For me, that has always been the driving force, an idea becomes a product. These agents have rekindled my desire to create things.
Absolutely nothing has changed at the language level, and for using channels and the `go` keyword directly, there isn't really tooling to help either.

Most experienced Golang practitioners have reached the same conclusions as this blog post: Just don't use channels, even for problems that look simple. I used Go professionally for two years, and it's by far the worst thing about the language. The number of footguns is astounding.

Yes. See update 2 FTA for a 2019 study on go concurrency bugs. Most go devs that I know consider using higher level synchronization mechanisms the right way to go (pun intended). sync.WaitGroup and errgroup are two common used options.
Very interesting - for a moment while reading I thought anomie was utilized in the text - just to take a moment and go back to clearly see anomia - all good now.
Seems pretty silly in hindsight and probably was back then as well. If communist committees could write like Lem, the world would be a much richer place today.

What stuck with me after reading many of his works was this underlying theme in several of his novels, of the futility of trying to make contact or reason with alien entities which are so vastly different from us, no bridge of understanding is possible.

On a lighter note, his electronic bard from The Cyberiad is pretty spot on, quite similar to the LLMs we have now.
No need to be snarky. The choice to default to FP32 is inspired by the fact that most typical use cases don't need double-precision (GPU shader languages and game engines do this all the time). This in turn allows us to vectorize code for 2x throughput compared to using FP64. We're gonna add a flag to change the default floating-point precision for devs who need extra precision.

See docs: https://docs.fxn.ai/predictors/requirements#floating-point-v...
To me message passing is like it's own thing. It's the most natural way of thinking about information flow in a system consisting of physically separated parts.

Online banking (anecdotally) works great, though may use the sandboxed google play services. At least here in Switzerland with Swiss banking apps I've never had issues with it.

I would recommend people to install the play services and play store in the main profile. Then, install apps in the main profile too but remove all permissions and abilities, restrict and disable them. After that, enable them in a "banking" profile. One can then selectively enable and disable the play store to update these apps which propagate to the other profiles. The disabled apps are still updated normally by the play store.

I do believe that they are working on a feature to limit app intercommunication in a similar vein as the other scopes. This would be cool because it would allow one to allow "point to point" communication of certain apps with the play services but otherwise restrict them. Though I don't know the state of development for this feature.
Overdiagnosis and misdiagnosis. He’ll have to discover schizotypy for one thing. They should add “flocking” as a negative criterion for autism if it happens just once and that will get rid of a lot of cases.
I was walking along in the desert when I noticed a tortoise crawling in the sand. I reached down and flipped the tortoise on its back. It laid on its back, belly baking in the hot sun, legs beating, trying to turn itself right side up, but it couldn’t, not without my help. But I didn’t help. AITA?

Isn't it more likely that it was tyre dust? Every vehicle (more so the heavier ones) is continually depositing tyre dust into the air, whereas brake dust will only be produced when slowing (and hardly any for regenerative braking vehicles).

The notion that JT had complete control is just utter nonsense. Federal jurisdiction is sharply limited, the opposition party is expected to be able to introduce and pass legislation during a minority government (the ppc has just been acting incompetent; the NDP managed to pass national dental care despite only hold 16% of the seats), and provincial governments have been largely doing their own thing despite federal funding initiatives.
Yup but you're skilled enough to write--and more importantly, maintain--the required C/C++ code. Most devs and companies we talk to just want to make something people want; they don't care for the added complexity of writing and maintaining native code.

The way I like to think about this is how much more code got written when "high level" languages like C came onto the scene, at a time when Assembly was the default. Writing Python is way (way way) easier and faster than any of the lower-level languages--no pointers, no borrow checker!
This still exists today. For example, I am on the payments team but I have a 20% project working on protobuf. I had to get formal approval from my management chain and someone on the protobuf team. And it is tracked as part of my performance reviews. They just want to make sure I'm not building something useless that nobody wants and that I'm not just wasting the company's time.

Lessons from Betting on a Biased Coin
I'm a little older now, over 60. I'm writing a spaceflight simulator for fun and (possible) profit. From game assets to coding, it seems like AI could help. But every time I try it out, I just end up feeling drained by the process of guiding it to good outcomes. It's like I have an assistant to work for me, who gets to have all the fun, but needs constant hand holding and guidance. It isn't fun at all, and for me, coding and designing a system architecture is tremendously satisfying.

I also have a large collection of handwritten family letters going back over 100 years. I've scanned many of them, but I want to transcribe them to text. The job is daunting, so I ran them through some GPT apps for handwriting recognition. GPT did an astonishing job and at first blush, I thought the problem was solved. But on deeper inspection I found that while the transcriptions sounded reasonable and accurate, significant portions were hallucinated or missing. Ok, I said, I just have to review each transcription for accuracy. Well, reading two documents side by side while looking for errors is much more draining than just reading the original letter and typing it in. I'm a very fast typist and the process doesn't take long. Plus, I get to read every letter from beginning to end while I'm working. It's fun.

So after several years of periodically experimenting with the latest LLM tools, I still haven't found a use for them in my personal life and hobbies. I'm not sure what the future world of engineering and art will look like, but I suspect it will be very different.

My wife spins wool to make yarn, then knits it into clothing. She doesn't worry much about how the clothing is styled because it's the physical process of working intimately with her hands and the raw materials that she finds satisfying. She is staying close to the fundamental process of building clothing. Now that there are machines for manufacturing fibers, fabrics and garments, her skill isn't required, but our society has grown dependent on the machines and the infrastructure needed to keep them operating. We would be helpless and naked if those were lost.

Likewise, with LLM coding, developers will no longer develop the skills needed to design or "architect" complex information processing systems, just as no one bothers to learn assembly language anymore. But those are things that someone or something must still know about. Relegating that essential role to a LLM seems like a risky move for the future of our technological civilization.

One cool thing about GrapheneOS when I recently got a new Pixel 9 was how easy it was to install it with just my older Pixel phone. Because the installer is WebUSB based it works in the Vanadium browser. I just connected the two phones together with a USB cable and could install the OS on my new phone from the browser.

One currently missing thing is a "transfer" or backup functionality otherwise. There's really no good solution other than to manually port over applications and use their built-in import/export features if available.
I don't think this is a problem with the constitution as it was actually written, this is just the cumulative effect of states, congress, and the judicial branch ceding power to the executive for decade after decade, with a decent dose of political corruption, because both parties thought it was convenient for when they are in power. People had been warning about it the whole time and every time it happened they were either ignored as paranoid or grouped up as conspiracy theorists.
