I think their point was that map/filter _individually_ look identical in most languages, i.e. map looks the same across most languages, and filter looks the same across languages, not that map and filter look identical to each other in most languages.
> Because they don't get enough votes to control the military.
Well, technically military is run now by maga incel death cult, so yeah I give you that one. I forgot I was discussing on US forum.
As of what cult is, from Merriam-Webster: “ a group (such as an organization or religious sect) with tenets and practices regarded as coercive, insular, or dangerous”
Generally we today discuss as cults manipulative social sects that sureound around one leading authoritative figure who has extensive psychological control over rest of the members. Often these groups use these strange dynamics to abuse members, do financial crimes, or even murder people (I guess the Manson case and Jonestown are most famous, Cali has a history of this).
As for me, I never listen to a man wearing a fedora no matter what his credentials.
1. This wasn’t a strike on a single data center, it was strikes on many data centers.
2. Since that interview, AWS has started selling versions of their storage that isn’t redundant. It is not surprising that when AWS sells non-redundant storage that some data is not recoverable.
AoT uses the same codegen (mostly) as the JIT so if you see a JIT improvement it's possible NativeAOT/ilc picked up that improvement too.
Unless it's a runtime-only optimization, like guarded devirtualization... there's no straightforward way for an AOT compiler to do that without profiling data.
I feel like we’re getting to a point where the only way to contain AI agents may be to have better-trained AI agents watching them, which is a little terrifying.
Props on the build - bespoke tooling like this per human is a really cool timeline to live in. Personal tech.
Related - Apparently this website is also "Brought to you by Fable"!
It's very interesting how this occurs with any "website builder" - Squarespace, Wordpress, Wix... and now Claude + GPT!
The elements look like every powerpoint I've seen in the last 6 months. Every report. Every internal document. It's all converged with similar typesetting, image / diagram placement...
To me, the verbiage is the big one, this time, where it takes all the personality out of a site and essentially devoids it of any meaning. I am NOT saying that this post is AI generated (it very likely isn't), but a site that has all of those qualities is useless to me and devoid of any meaning, repulsive actually.
The code is only part of the specification. It does rarely document the actual requirements to a degree you can rely on for decision making. Sure, the code should speak for itself, but it mostly speaks about the WHYs of the implementation, not the reasoning behind the actual requirement. I found that OpenSpec actually helps a lot in this regard.
You can always just not use OOP. C#'s tooling for functional programming and C-style programming is really good, thanks to stuff like statics on interfaces or spans.
I enjoyed the Hindi as well, seeing you (or your friends) casually mix Hindi and English reminded me of my brief visits to IN and how worldly most folks I interacted with where.
Further, I regret not eating a single fruit while there :(
The goal is to win the next election but I think the populace is to blame for this more than anything.
The populace is who is too interested in winning politics as a sport that the politicians have really no choice other than to focus entirely on winning the next election.
If the voters treat politics as a constant form of sports entertainment, constantly checking the latest news and events, then voters are actually the fundamental problem as to why the politicians can not do anything in terms of long term planning.
Interest Rates in the United States should be 1%, or less, because we are the Best Credit in the World — BY FAR. Our Country is BOOMING with new Investment! If we stopped Trading with every country that we have a Deficit with, which is most of them, we would make, at least, 1.5 Trillion Dollars a year. The word “Deficit” is nothing more than a fancy word for LOSS. We are “carrying” almost every country in the World, and that cannot go on any longer. LOWER THE INTEREST RATES FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND FAST! President DONALD J. TRUMP
It's literally not a statement of opinion. It's a factual statement about how computers work.
And yeah people hack their appliances all the time. Car modders replace all sorts of things; I don't see why they wouldn't touch software. Airplanes have a unique regulatory environment where "consumer" protection is less relevant, but for the same reason it's not like copyright serves a purpose.
I'm familiar with the law; I said we should change it. And no, when I buy a computer, I own the computer, not a limited license to use it. It is 100% mine. I can throw it into the ocean and no one has any recourse because they don't own it; I do. And I absolutely can install other software on it if I please.
Could sit in the box and interact if a model of certain capabilities is needed/tested. We do physical security for other things, too. Not saying everything needs that type of isolation.
Same! I decided to reinstall Windows and MBR to GPT conversion (surprisingly!) wiped the whole disk. 10 years of family photos gone. Good thing we had all important ones printed.
