This is awesome. IMHO things like this were the whole point of CSS. Nice job!

Before LLMs took off I legitimately thought that most people would be paranoid enough to air-gap the first AIs that even had a remote chance of sentience so they didn't hack their way out. Well, obviously not. You only live once! Just

I think over-complicated and over-engineered are not the same thing. Over-complicated is adding too many features, too much mechanism, too many moving parts. Over-engineering is far exceeding the requirements in an unhelpful way. For exampl

There was a long concerted effort to disable all the accountability mechanisms. A massive failure across the board, at every level, in every party. Now that the entire justice system is broken, the American system is being dismantled and lo

> The primary check on government growth Disagree. The primary check on the government is consequences for violating the law and the constitution. That's just all gone out the window. Power without oversight, no matter how distrib

Hard disagree. Public funds are absolutely for funding research into things that affect the public on a large scale. That's the whole point. What could be more "general welfare", as envisioned in the constitution, than maki

Ah yes, we can't trust that our elected officials understand their duty well enough just fund Science and find out stuff works, so better throw up our hands and let the "market" do it. Your view isn't controversial becau

The media in the US is utterly feckless and broken.

Yes, now we can do thinking without thinking. Good job.

AIs should be forced to show their work. Every tool they use, every program they generate and run in the background, and every logical inference. They should be forced to produce Lean or Rocq proofs or execution traces for all the computati

When satellites smash into each other at high velocity, they explode. Some of that debris will end up in higher orbits and linger.

I've picked up enough plastics off the beaches of the world already. Plastic ruins ecosystems and is a scourge on this planet. It's too late to fix, it's everywhere. 8 million tonnes of plastics enter the oceans every year, a

Typechecking is more less picking a decidable set of invalid programs and making an efficient checker for them. As for ruling out programming styles, a language is, after all, Turing complete, so one could write an IR and an interpreter and

Because rich people want more money. They keep saying it's for the good of humanity and some useful idiots keep repeating that. A more balanced tax policy, regulation of financial markets, incentives to renewals, stopping investment in

The oldest DVD I own is from 1996 and it still works without any problem. Take care of them and don't let them get scratched up. Rip them and make a backup.

Knowing is input and skills are output. If you can't produce some kind of output in response to input, you've got a nice imagination but no skills.

I didn't read the law but the article referred to it as "personal data". It's important to note that Big Tech believes it can "anonymize" fine-grained location data but just stripping PII and assigning a semi-s

This just makes reviewers and authors lazier. The purpose of code review is multi-faceted. Hard to maintain? Yes. Might have bugs? Yes. Can be done simpler/cleaner? Yes. Is in line with project code style? Yes. Get someone else to also

It's even worse when Google believes they have a legally defensible justification that your data has been "anonymized". E.g. "anonymized" location data directly from your phone that just so happens to be accurate to

By analogy, would complaining about any organization ridiculously more powerful than you (e.g. a government) without having a complete alternative ready to go also be "childish"?

People are going to come out of the woodwork to argue about OO specifically, and I'd probably join in, but the higher-level view that I've come to over the years is that one programming paradigm is not the best in all situations.

I have a fantasy of an alternate history where we as a society got our shit together and subsidized local libraries and ISPs so that they could offer cheap and even free NAS for everyone. Economies of scale and all that. It would have been
