The funny thing is it's neither terrorism nor illegal if you're just lobbying the government to do it on your behalf.

Vibes is just UX. There's whole careers, teams, and even industries dedicated to it, and yeah it isn't easy because you need aggregate data from people.

This happens, publicly, in the US, all the time. Megacorps like Amazon regularly pit cities and states against each other for what you're calling plain old corruption.

Not all dynamically typed systems are equal. Just like not all statically typed systems are equal. Python and Javascript are a mess. But languages like Elixir aren't just Java without types.

Sometimes types are worse than the alternative. I obviously don't know your specific use case, but in my experience having the database schema reflect throughout a project means its either very small or the design is going to run into

I actually disagree. Once you remove the cruft and crap of the involved syntax, good OOP design tends to look damn close to FP design. So I flip your point of view - class based OOP is the hack - despite not really using Clojure or FP in

When it comes to concurrency, what can golang's runtime do that is so special? When I tried it, it seemed like a worse version of Erlang's for people that prefer C style syntax. Depending upon your design space pervasive immuta

They also seem to point to it being more the harness than the model itself.

I had it do it about a month ago. It changed test data which caused another test to fail and instead of isolating things it decided to flip an assert.

As a general rule the least charitable interpretation of a CEO's words are probably the most accurate. Considering the increasing backlash against AI this sounds more like a PR move than a change in actual belief.

4.6 felt a bit better than 4.5 but slower. 4.7 doesn't feel better than 4.6.

I'm completely on board with your view, I'm still rocking a 1080ti. But I'd also like to buy my kids a gaming computer someday, and I don't know when that will be, especially with prices being what they are. It took a

Are you saying we're entering a period where tech increases in price instead of decreases? I guess it depends upon time horizon, but your statement isn't very specific.

Put another way: if the average US citizen doesn't subsidize the costs of these trillion dollar companies, China is gonna come get you. Funny that you talk about being afraid of your own shadow. I have some exposure to utility regulat

It seems like you're completely ignoring the privacy angle. If no one can own data how can privacy be a thing?

It's just hobby projects with larger scope. I can see from a lot of replies the "cool" threshold is undefined, but here goes: For myself it let me finish a project I started a year ago for measuring how much home energy effic

Lol, let me know when a federal administration admits wrongdoing against speech it dislikes. In the meantime this is no different than one side saying "we tax the rich too much" and the other side saying "we don't tax t

I'm going to offer a counter narrative here based upon my experience. I have LG appliances and they have fairly reasonable "fix everything wrong" prices. It's not literally everything, your bells and whistles might not

The best thing a smoker can do is quit smoking. At any age. It's not just the long term risk, there's all sorts of short and medium term effects. I think the comparison is more apt than you're giving it credit for.

Sure, but also, AI will always find issues. It will never be mildly satisfied with the codebase and say so.

Why? I've used plenty of systems that have an idempotency key. E.g. many payment processors will take an order id and won't let you charge an order id more than once. That's just an idempotency key by another name.

A big reason why react in clojure can make more sense than react itself is because clojure is much more declarative than JavaScript. There's been a lot of work done on the react end to fix that but the mismatch will always be there. Th

Building a startup on an LLM is like building a house on a foundation of quicksand. As the LLM gets better it naturally erodes your moat. It's a completely different dynamic compared to the internet. It's why I'm watching t

It's hard to really say from anecdotes. My uncle retired early and was sharp as a whip until 86 or so. Then decline hit him hard. There was no change in life circumstances, he just got old. Also, I think you'll find that taking

Lots of Colorado river water goes to supplying year around lettuce. If we didn't have lettuce they would just eat something else. Given the supply constraints of the region, "but someone is eating it" is a really bizarre ar

This sounds fun. Here is my response: https://claude.ai/share/abb3e667-252a-4b34-86f7-a064ba260d2a This reminds me of something funny I noticed about AI. Let's say you ask it what it thinks of an email you just

This is the crux of the problem. LLMs make me significantly faster at writing code I was mediocre or bad at. But when I use it to write code in domains I have more knowledge in I see design and correctness problems all over the place and
