Do I have to look at the text of the article (words, letters, punctuation) to get to the ideas in it? Do ideas exist outside of the code where they are embedded? If the ideas live outside the code how confident can I be confident the code as written embodies the ideas? These are the things I keep thinking about.

Deaths should not fall randomly across the population unless you’re committing war crimes.

I liked the article overall but found it a little wishy-washy in some of the conclusions.

People do not want to wake up every day and log in to Slack and find the buttons and menus all subtly moved around. People do not want financial transactions that complete most of the time. Determinism is not going anywhere, my friends.

Well, I can't reconcile people not wanting things moving around and determinism with the promises of acceleration made by AI. The way I see it either AI makes "massive, discontinuous returns on investment" by way of changing things or we get a sustainable rate of change; these seem like contradicting goals to me.

This looks very interesting. I’m not sure I understand this, but it seems to me like it competes (or is in the same space as) both Tailscale and zeromq/nanomsg via the protocols? I think it would be nice to have a comparison page to make it easier to position it (I didn’t find one).

From an economic perspective productivity is defined as the creation of value isn't it? Then if you "improve productivity" and does not create value in the end you're no improving productivity at all.

Maybe instead of people picking up AI mannerism people will start training on what makes AI gives correct results and human communication will look like prompting.

If AI is all the thing people keep saying someone should be able to develop an Animate/Flash clone, right? Given the reaction to its discontinuation, how people seem to depend on it, and how much content is out there it seem like the incentives do exist.

Well, if social media can profit from user content it should be liable too right?

I think there may be a way forward for the internet. Why isn't hacker news being strangled by SEO spam for example? I think the way forward is a much smaller internet predicated on tight-knit communities approving everything that's shared. I don't know how this could scale but maybe that's the point, it must stay small to succeed.

I think that would be the right decision, to me that makes more sense than forcing Apple to allow any app to be installed on iOS or allowing alternate stores.

Simple depends on the context. You may say programming in assembly language is simple, but it is only simple from the context of writing processor instructions; if you think high-level, like accessing fields in a struct, then programming in assembly complects (or weaves) field access with processor instructions and it turns into a complex thing (from the point of view of accessing fields in a struct).

Imagine if you could auto scale simply by wrapping any existing app code in a

function and have that block of code run in a temporary copy of your app.

That's interesting, sounds like what fork does but for serverless. Great work

If that's true, why then did it take me 10 seconds yesterday to find an extremely obscure fact of 18th century history with ChatGPT 3.5?

Would you mind telling what's the fact you were searching for? (and how did you search for it?)

I like Pages, Numbers and Keynote. No ribbons and proper use of monitor width. It helps that macOS still keeps the menubar too.

Would you mind elaborating on the cables and connections? Do you plug a DisplayPort and an usb cable from windows and get kvm working? The monitors are daisy chained?

I would be surprised if it's the minority.

Obviously I don't buy every product Apple launches but up to now I could see me using every one of their products, even if I don't think it would make sense buying one because it's too expensive or I don't need it. The Vision Pro however is something I have doubts could be useful even if it works perfectly and despite its price tag.

The player must be past the line of the ball for it to be offside too; it the ball is passed backwards or at the same line is not offside even if there are no defenders.

I don’t think it’s wise to trust the rumored prices much. Even if the rumors are overall right because of multiple points of leakage in the supply chain, price would be one of the easiest information for Apple to keep secret.

In fact the rumored price may even be planted by Apple to create an anchor and make the product look cheaper once released.

My daughter wanted her birthday to be Sonic-themed, so I've made a little platform and loop from the first stage, modeling it in Sketchup and export to Unfolder, it worked pretty well (but to add textures I've used Affinity Designer after exporting from Unfolder).

Well, given the chips Apple have released and all the work it has done on efficiency I think this is the current challenge, not the next.

Regarding Java I think that's more of a Jetbrains thing that IntelliJ feels good on every platform than Java per se. Contrast it with Netbeans for a more "pure" Java desktop experience.

And that includes all platforms (Mac, iPad and Windows). Really great value.

It sounded strange to me when they called it modular but to me it seems they call it modular for not including a display.

I have two 24@4K and it's great. Unfortunately, Dell stopped making this model (P2415Q), in fact the second one I bought used because Dell had no more stock.

Maybe we should talk about ethical licenses instead of free ones then. Then the purpose would be clearer.

The way OP talks about what's Alexander's design pattern they look to me more like Domain Driven Design, that is, creating a common vocabulary to be used between developers(architects) and people who will use or needs the software(people who will live at/use the building).

If that's the case why would Google pay for being the default search engine? Firefox hands would already be tied.

Wouldn't it be the inverse? That these fields are happening because of the graphics cards advancements?

Well, python has had repl driven development for years too, notebooks only change the tooling around that if I’m not wrong.

I think messages are less bound to types than method calls, more late bound and more reified in some caseS.
