- ecshaferThis is a perfect place for a prolog program.
- So as opposed to the old twitter method which was a vague “you know someone at twitter”, which led to random “journalists” and nobodies being verified. Paying money is just as arbitrary. Money at least means a credit card transaction happened.
- Lets steel man this:
1. If the output is solid, does it matter?
2. The author could simply have done the research, created the plan, and then gave an LLM the bullet list points of research and told it to "make this into a presentable plan". The author does the heavy work and actually does the creative work, and outsources the manual formatting to the LLM. My Wife speaks English as a second language, she much prefers telling an LLM what she is trying to say and to generate a business friendly email from this than writing it herself and letting in grammatical mistakes.
3. If I were to write a paper in my favorite text editor and then put it through pandoc to generate a word doc it would do the same thing.
- Ruby isn't necessarily for web devs. Ruby is popular for all sorts of business line applications. In Japan is popular for lower level programming. You can do game programming via something like Dragon Ruby. Sure its very popular for Rails, but you don't necessarily need to do web dev.
- Thats a bit of a strawman. Will religion pay your rent? Probably not. But focusing on a simple life around family and charity and not chasing material possessions or luxury might. Changing priorities from hip neighborhoods to family friendly neighborhoods may.
- The happiest Gen Z I see are the ones that go to Church. Being religious is a bulwark against nihilism. And Church youth / under 30 groups are basically marriage express lanes, which takes the App /hookup culture hell out of the equation.
- Wouldn't the comparison be more like the 1920s for computing. We had useful working computers in the 1940s working on real problems doing what was not possible before hand. By the 1950s we had computers doing Nuclear bomb simulations and the 1960s we had computers in banks doing accounting and inventory. So we had computers by then, not in homes, but we had them. In the 1920s we had mechanical calculators and theories on computation emerging but not a general purpose computer. Until we have a quantum computer doing work at least at the level of a digital computer I can't really believe it being the 1960s.
- DHH is the lead developer of the most popular ruby web framework, Sandy is the author of a mildly popular book. Not knocking her work, but DHH is magnitudes more influential.
- Ive been told my multiple High Energy Physicists that String Theory was suspect because it makes no predictions. Being able to make predictions that are testable is a foundation of theoretical science. Not everything is because of influences.
- Are these internal servers full of M-series chips running a server max osx build then as well?
- If you watch some of the real life detective / crime shows. The people who murder people and get caught be cops, basically shoot people in broad daylight on camera, tell people about it, then immediately fold in interrogation.
- Yes. The active passive citizen distinction is an important aspect of representative democracy. This was foundational per the federalist papers and the enlightenment at large. Kant enunerates the active vs passive distinction in “Doctrine of Right” and “Theory and Practice”. The US has many issues largely stemming from moving away from active citizen distinctions. If I were to have it my way we would raise the requirement and burden of both voting and office to eliminate the passive citizens from having as much say, and the leaches in office.
- If you don't vote, you forfeit your vote. So yes, over half of the country voted for him, only those who are active enough citizens to get off of the couch count. 34% Trump, 35% FORFEIT, 31% Harris, we don't care about the forfeits. Democracy is about the active citizens.
- That depends. I have donated to Religious missionary work publicly, that could be seen by an extremist of any other religion who sees this as a zero sum game as anti their religion. But I don't bring this up in work because that is uncouth and not what my job is about, and would expect the same from co-workers. Eich also didn't donate publicly, this was dug up and then foisted upon him. If someone were to dig through records they could find my donations and party affiliations, which is what they did to him. He was being professional, they were the ones that were taking his private views and forcing them into the public sphere.
- No, those are all completely separate things.
- Ive worked with Catholics and my views on sola scriptura and the authority of the Pope never came up once. Ive worked with Muslims, and it was never an issue. Ive worked with Hindus. Ive worked with Chinese, Pakistanis, Indians, Bangladeshis, Nigerians, Brazilians, Kenyans, Russians, Ukrainians, Poles, Ghanans, Mexicans, and many other nationalities. I have been on many teams and in my companies with a combinatorial explosion of fundamentally incompatible beliefs.
So yes I do expect staff to work under a ceo that is opposed to gay marriage, an idea that I would bet globally has a less than 50% popular support.
- And people don't have to all agree on the same things. People can get together to work towards cause X and then individually believe in mutually exclusive causes alpha, beta, gamma.
- It looks like they chose a Product Manager and MBA. Why can't we get a software engineer or computer scientist?
- Ford announced the Maverick, it got so much excitement that it sold out and dealerships sold for over MSRP. So in their infinite wisdom they... didn't make more mid range trucks. Ill never understand these guys.
