Hardly generic- it is somewhat generic after what has come since, as there has been so much cheap copying of the original.
Nobody is confused. If the downvotes caused you to show us who you are, then they performed a duty, just not the expected one or one that you are enjoying.
Most colors are mixtures of wavelengths of light. Our eyes have sensors that are sensitive to specific ranges of wavelengths, with relatively broad overlapping response curves. Orange can refer to a spectral color, but (as you say) the arbitrary nature of the names means it also refers to several mixtures of spectral colors of varying wavelength and intensity. "Brown" doesn't refer to any spectral color, it's always a mixture which could be referred to as a "dark orange".
I tried to buy Lighthouse and it was a headspinning experience, took me a while to figure out it was a very overpriced subscription version with a confusing sign up experience I didn't trust. I felt like I was going to be scammed if I clicked the wrong button. So I ended up using Luminar Neo, even though I don't like it.

> Yeah, but there are actually autonomous cabs rolling out to my metro

The economic difference is that a level 2 cab requires much higher remote labor costs than a level 3 cab to achieve the same productivity, almost by definition of "level 3". As long as a cab company has that advantage they can undercut the competition by price and still make a profit. That advantage is definitely not yet a given. It could even be achieved by open source models and go global for everyone at once. In that scenario Tesla still starts with a large advantage in cost per cab over everyone but BYD.
I think you might be better off getting rid of the "AI slop" entirely. Without getting into the whole ethical debate (it's worth having, but not here), putting it front and center on the website for a new retrocomputing magazine is kind of like putting an article about new features in Microsoft Word front and center on a website for mechanical typewriter enthusiasts.
I like Janet a lot, and have been using it for small personal projects for about a year.

But it does come with some design decisions that I'm a bit ambivalent about and for which I haven't found a good explanation:

- No persistent data structures. I guess this has something to do with limitations of the GC?

- unhygienic macros combined with lack of namespaces. XOR those two choices would be fine, but the combination is janky

- Somewhat peculiar choices in syntax. It's neither Scheme, nor is it Clojure. # starts comments, ; is splice, @ marks literals as mutable...
Yes and no. I had my mom type one in for me. Obviously didn't learn much from that other than I love you mom! But typing in a Basic program exposed you to the syntax involved, which, you're typing the thing in. It was a slow process. So while you were typing it in, your mind would absorb things from it, and how you could modify. So yes I'd say it was educational.

On the other hand, vibecoding today, I can get shockingly far before needing to dig into the code itself. I'm working on a swift app but haven't needed to really get into learning Swift the way I did C++ or Java, back before Google.
I used a similar setup for a while: Obsidian for taking notes in markdown, and vscode for coding.

Eventually I moved to using vscode for both. My gigantic notes.md file is always open in tab 1, so I can go to it immediately with Ctrl + 1.

Finding notes in a single file is easier for me than finding them in a bazillion tiny files. And there's less friction whenever I need to make a note (no need to create and name a new file).
I am not entirely sure, but I think I drove a human pretending to be a robot insane once. It became obsessed and stalky, trying to find stuff I like to talk about. I tried recommending psychiatric help but it only made it angrier.

I hear ya, but I think 50 years is wildly generous. I give it 20 years before they're entirely gone except for a few novelty chasers. It's the Yugo of the 21st century, except at luxury prices, actually, then maybe like combining a Yugo with the Cadillac Cimarron or the Pontiac Aztec. Garbage in every way that won't survive a human generation.

That has nothing to do with the interface being a terminal, but with the primary input method being a keyboard instead of a pointing device.

You could get the same result with a graphical interface, as long as you provide proper keyboard based navigation. The web browser provide all the capabilities that you need for that.

The nice part of a text based ui is that you have a simpler device to use for rendering, so things like layout is easier, as long as you remain in the domain of what the device allows for.

Lem wrote in his journal:

"Na początku 48 roku wyjechałem na miesiąc do Pragi, gdzie zostałem zatrudniony w rządowej klinice im. Klimenta Woroszyłowa (wyobraźcie sobie u nas szpital imieniem Hermanna Goeringa). I ledwo wytrzymałem ten miesiąc. Codziennie jak nie masówka na stołówce, to agitka w szpitalnych garażach. W moim rodzimym krakowskim szpitalu na Montelupich byłoby to nie do pomyślenia. My byliśmy jednak najweselszym barakiem w obozie..."

"In the beginning of 1948 I went to Praga for a month, where I worked in government health clinic named after Kliment Woroshylov (imagine a hospital named after Goering in Poland). I barely managed to survive that month. Every day either a general meeting in the dining hall or political agitation in the hospital's garages. In Kraków Montelupi's hospital where I usually worked it would be unimaginable. We indeed are the merriest barrack in the [socialist] camp..."

Poles often called themselves that because censorship was the least strict there and we had some contact with the western culture (mainly through the "Kultura Paryska" - a Polish emigrants in Paris printed a newspaper that was very influential in Poland despite being theoretically banned - it was smuggled in en masse - it was so influential that to this day the political program developed by Giedroyć and Mieroszewski in that newspaper is serving as the core for Polish foreign policy - and it's working very well so far).

It changed depending on the period (50s were the worst) - but western culture was usually pretty well known and admired in communist Poland. We had very lively jazz scene, Beatles and other rock bands were played in radio (for example in Polish Radio 3 there were whole auditions based on showcasing western music - it was considered a "safety valve for Polish youth" by the communists).

We even had yearly indie punk/rock festival in Jarocin where all the anti-mainstream western-inspired kids went to drink and sing punk songs against the system.

Don't get me wrong - communism was obviously evil. But it wasn't competent/diligent enough to be 100% totalitarian in Poland. That would take too much effort and for what? You'd get paid the same either way. If you were unlucky you could definitely go to prison for a wrong joke or song. But most people didn't.

Anyway.

Lem definitely would have written that he liked American sci-fi if he did liked it.
The way I imagine it, it was designed to look like a wireframe vector graphics video game tank, a la battlezone 1980. The design is based on the sci-fi “rule of cool”, the origami exoskeleton is retconned justification that turned out to be too tall of an ask for Elon’s engineers.

My point of view is that Rob Pike is a brilliant engineer, but a little too much opinionated for my tastes.
Having had kids and cared for them as infants myself, and previously worked in a (very much unlicensed) home-based daycare, the 1:4 ratio for childcare centers and 1:2-1:4 (depending on primary licensee's experience) ratio for home-based daycares for infants are not at all unreasonable.

Yeah, the issue is one of incentives.

For all politicians, their incentive is to get (re)elected. That's pretty much part of the definition. The ones that follow that incentive are going to be (re)elected, those that don't aren't going to get into office.

But, if you really do believe in democracy, then you have to actually trust the voters here. If you're thinking that they are just rubes and are easily lead around, then well, you don't really believe in democracy, I think [0]. Whatever you think about Donny and his methods and ideas, we've had 10 years of the guy in politics. The voters (in the system we have) were as well informed as you could possibly expect them to be. They wanted him and everything about him, the results were very clear.

Ancient Greece is a good model here with it's many cities and systems. Democracies will often choose the wolf to escape the vultures. It's just part of how humans work. We can all wish that we live in a different place and a different time with different people, but we don't. We're here and now. And our fellow voters in the system we have, they want all of this.

Look, I'm with you, I think that the voters were very dumb here. But they have to find out one way or another and get their comeuppance. There is no feasible other way. We're going to get Donny in all his glory, good and hard.

[0] yes yes, we don't have a democracy, we have a constitutional republic and blah blah blah. We've all heard it a hundred times.

> I used to love Reddit, but the astroturfing has become unbearable, especially by political groups.

I really doubt most of it is astoturfing. You can find bot accounts, obviously. However, the Reddit hivemind has a very intense echo chamber.

Everyone learns very quickly that if you write something that doesn't match the popular opinion of Reddit, you're going to get downvoted quickly. Strike a nerve and you'll even get angry private messages or people going through your post history and trying to extend their argument into old comments.

Large forums have always been like this. You're at the mercy of a small number of users who have the most free time to post all day. Some times I'll get an unusually angry response on Reddit and click on their profile out of curiosity. It's often someone who has been commenting for the last 10 hours straight. You just can't compete with someone with infinite free time and a lot of anger to get out. Eventually they all sync up to drive away differing opinions
It’s not really that expensive, I guess it depends on your use case but it’s only like $4/GB (edit: misleading, see replies): https://oxylabs.io/products/residential-proxy-pool or https://brightdata.com/proxy-types/residential-proxies

Usually you only need some subset of the data per page load if you invest some time looking at dev tools you can probably find the API call you need and save yourself a few MB.

They all offer scraping APIs now too that can be cheaper for certain use cases where you only need a subset of the data that is actually loaded. Like $1.3 per 1k requests: https://oxylabs.io/products/scraper-api/web/pricing or $1 per 1k: https://brightdata.com/pricing/web-scraper

Thank you for doing that. Integrity API is fucking evil, and Google has somehow managed to sell it as a security measure even though it is all about taking control away from people and concentrating it at Google.
While I do get your point, marriage is so deeply ingrained into the legal and financial systems of the U.S. that I think many can't help but subconsciously attach these things that really should be independent.

Marriage unlocks a wide range of legal and financial benefits: access to a spouse’s health insurance, favorable tax treatment (like joint filing and estate tax breaks), and legal protections such as hospital visitation rights, inheritance without a will, and immigration sponsorship. It also affects Social Security, parental rights, and eligibility for things like pensions and veterans’ benefits. I mean, if you get married, in the States stuff is just all worked out automatically.

In many other countries, marriage is not attached to these things.

> My pet theory is that someone who claims reddit is a great place for niche hobbies were never part of an old-school forum with truly passionate and engaging members.

In my experience, Reddit can be an okay place for niche hobbies until the reddit becomes semi-popular. Then it's a lost cause for anyone but newbies posting the same question every day and old timers who take pleasure in yelling at them.

I recently drove a Suzuki Vitara Hybrid for 4-5 days. The only downside I saw is its fuel consumption is very low.

Also, this one is not a fancy hybrid like Toyota's one. It has a motor between the engine and the gearbox. It also does regen braking, but that's all.

My colleague's Toyota C-HR's fuel consumption is also pretty bad. Half of its nearest competitor, and lower than most car's highway consumption, in the city.

I built one of these for phantom and Solana. the problem is there are just too many steps involved with building the page, and then it's too slow. I wanted to replace online display ads with a JavaScript widget that would charge you 3 cents as you scroll down the page, or have the "more inside" button charge users 3 cents or whatever. Didn't get to that part, but everything was just so clunky that it only really worked as a tech demo.

The problem is that crypto people already know crypto and have a wallet. It's the people that don't know crypto and are repulsed by it that you have to convince that hey, here's a valid use case for crypto (micropayments) but you have to do all this work before you can use it, and while the rails are there, it's just too immature.

> You're telling me cloudflare has to store something on my computer to let them know I passed a captcha?

Yes?

HTTP is stateless. It always has been and it always will be. If you want to pass state between page visits (like "I am logged in to account ..." or "My shopping cart contains ..." or "I solved a CAPTCHA at ..."), you need to be given, and return back to the server on subsequent requests, cookies that encapsulate that information, or encapsulate a reference to an identifier that the server can associate with that information.

This is nothing new. Like gruez said in a sibling comment; this is what session cookies do. Almost every website you ever visit will be giving you some form of session cookie.
What did unity do?
You believe that Arafat and his organizations were more violent than Hamas? An organization that without taking the recent massacre into account has pioneered suicide bombings against civilians? This really does not compute.

I think this is an extremely simplified look at the last two decades. Israel withdrew from the Gaza strip and removed all its settlements under a Likud government, was that also a conspiracy to strengthen hamas?

What actually happened is that Israel did not want the Gaza strip, or to manage any of the millions there, so it withdrew.

However, Hamas being hamas continued firing rockets at Israeli towns, which required going to war to protect these.

This left Israel in an awkward situation of having to reoccupy the gaza strip with the thousand dead gazans that will die in the process (a lesser version of what we see now) and having to occupy the strip back.

Because no one wanted to do that, together with a negligent leadership, this system of half-operations started, where every two years they would bomb and sign a cease fire. Enough to stop the rockets for a while but not enough to anger anyone internationally. Later on culminating in actually allowing Qatar terror money, in order to keep the quiet.

Ironically half of the reason of reaching to the point where so many people had died in this war, is the international community sensitivity to casualties, very similar to pre-ww2 appeasement. Where it is only accepted for Israel to destroy such an organization is after it already conducts its mass killings (and even that is apparently contested)

My hybrid doesn't even plug in... only has a 1kWH battery... and is warranted for 150k miles / 10 years.

I traded-in a turbo-charged petrol-only vehicle, so I definitely understand your wanting to reduce complexity. My Camry is about as fast as the Subaru, and gets 2.5x the mileage on low-octane (city driving, primarily: high-40's).

On roadtrips the battery really isn't that helpful (other than brief accelerations), dropping to ~38 mpg.
That would be a terrible interview question, because it doesn’t clarify whether you mean an African or European swallow.
Yeah I guess the difference is once an instruction/CSR has been defined in x86 or ARM the only two options are a) it doesn't exist, and b) it's that instruction.

In RISC-V it can be anything even after it has been defined.

Actually... I say that, but they do actually reserve spaces in the CSR and opcode maps specifically for custom extensions so in theory they could say it's only undefined behaviour in those spaces and then you would be able to probe in the standard spaces. Maybe.

I think they just don't want people probing though, even though IMO it's the most expedient solution most of the time. Otherwise you have to go via an OS syscall, through the firmware and ACPI tables, device tree or mconfigptr (when they eventually define that).
