Productivity modes were used a lot with the AGA machines. By that time, VGA monitors were cheap and plentiful.

That's one reason why adding fast ram (= exclusive access by the CPU) to an Amiga 1200 doubled the speed of the machine for most workloads without changing the CPU.

I spent years programming in Objective-C and loved it, it became one of my favorite languages. Swift has been a colossal letdown, as in "what were they thinking?!" but unsurprising if one pays attention to how macOS has (re|pro)gressed in the last decade.

If you can look past the dated graphics, the OG Deus EX is by far the better game and one of the best games of all time. The writing and philosophy alone elevates the game to masterpiece status. They dumbed down down these core elements in sequels to focus on better graphics and simpler mechanics and these games are far worse for it.

Your particular interpretation of the author's choice in words tells us more about your psychological makeup than the author.

Take the "meta-cognition" advice to heart and perform some self-debugging in order to determine what exactly in your psyche made you react in this way.

This is not just false but egregiously wrong. The regular syntax of Lisp is a tremendous asset when it comes to LLMs being able to work directly in the image. If I had to score languages by how well they work with current LLMs, Common Lisp and Emacs Lisp would be at the very top.

The Department of Defense has never received a clean opinion on a full financial audit. Since starting comprehensive yearly reviews in 2018, the Pentagon has failed eight consecutive enterprise-wide audits due to scale, missing records, and untrackable assets.

Federal Government Made $236 billion “Improper Payments” Last Fiscal Year: https://www.gao.gov/blog/federal-government-made-236-billion...

The only propaganda I see here is coming from those who are so out of touch of reality that they firmly believe there's a chunk of the uniparty that doesn't increase the deficit.

I suggest author renames to AmigaCL.

No published specification, single Python implementation. Shame, as this solves a problem that badly needs to be solved well.

It wasn't fine for decades. Both democrats and republicans allowed regulatory capture to take place.

This reads like a critique of 2023 tooling published in 2026. Their Amdahl-style arithmetic (speed up a 14% slice, cap your gains at 14%) holds only if "AI" means autocomplete. Current frontier models do far more than that: research, code comprehension, review, test authoring, debugging, exploratory prototyping, ideation. That's most of the rest of the working day or "86%".

The only point that still holds is that organizational policies and procedures that automate AI use and lower the barrier to entry are more efficient than leaving it up to each individual. Every other point they make is either stale or was never true to begin with.

<edited> Wolfram is obviously a genius but, like a lot of geniuses, so ahead of his time that he'll be recognized, maybe, decades after his own death.

This seems like it could accelerate the transition to sub-1nm nodes (previously projected to mid 2030s), maybe by the end of this decade.

That must do wonders for antibiotic resistance.

Experts know that copy/pasting and/or reimplementing code is not an issue in practice regardless of how often it comes up as an anti-pattern in freshman CS courses. The (amalgamated) software system can still be audited in reasonable time as long as the number of third party dependencies is kept low.

Rust has thrown the baby out with the bathwater in that regard resulting in software that is practically impossible to audit without putting in enormous effort.

I've never seen a C program use hundreds of dependencies. This is typical in Rust (and Node). I know a few high assurance teams that dropped Rust for this very reason.

Would be a lot better from every possible angle (immersion, depth, replayability) if it was sandbox multiplayer. Otherwise, I'd rather play TIS-100.

The level of delusional wishful thinking here defies belief. Seattle and all other US "left" strongholds are decomposing and falling apart, with parts of these cities worse off than the third world. Instead of realizing that it's ineffective, incompetent and detached from reality politicians that have brought ruin and misery, you want to hand them even more money.

Brilliant.

As has happened in nearly every European state with wealth taxes. But the elephant in the room is that these policies give the same ineffective, corrupt and entirely worthless politicians even more money to "manage". The very definition of delusional wishful thinking.

This level of naivety is characteristic of certain SV types where wishful thinking is the order of the day. We're already living through the disastrous effects of the "social media" revolution and this is going to be much more of the same, with even worse negative effects on society.

Just imagine what this will do to critical thinking, interpersonal relationships and family dynamics in a country where illiteracy is rapidly climbing. I don't think it's a stretch to write that if the unrestrained capitulation in terms of societal costs towards big tech continues, we're setting ourselves up for {generational, class-based} conflict that will rip our country to pieces.

I was scratching my head trying to figure out how he got Internet to access qbittorrent on a private IP, but then I read this:

"you see, at some point in time the password was bypassed for users on local network 192.168.1.0/24, however the traefik ingress lives on 192.168.1.1"

which of course is his real problem (reverse proxy, microservices). And of course he has to double down and pile on even more complexity as the solution, instead of throwing out all the crap he's stacked together and coming up with something simple, performant and sane.

They never made good notebooks. Compared to German and Japanese notebooks that even cost less, moleskine is terrible.

If you're a power user, the sooner you learn Emacs the better as the synergies with any Lisp language (particularly Common Lisp) are simply too strong to be ignored and there is no contemporary alternative that rivals it.

For new users, this looks like a welcome alternative to messy things like Lem that never really worked very well for me.

Dwarkesh is your run-of-the-mill vapid influencer idiot. Fridman on the other hand, when in the presence of greatness, knows to STFU and listen.

Very smart people on discord sounds like an oxymoron: why would anyone very smart contribute to the siloization of knowledge and support grow a corporate entity possessing highly questionable incentives? Discord is not a great place to discuss anything of substance.

If that's not clear to some now, it will be once monetization kicks in and the inevitable blowup and loss of accumulated knowledge follows.

Assuming he shows up, he'll still probably be trying to defend the indefensible..

Disabling Nagle's algorithm should be done as a matter of principle, there's simply no modern network configuration where it's beneficial.

This is why I left California and utterly done with you people.

You're implying that those who are throwing hissy fits about "master" are aware of bitkeeper documentation and their (wildly unchecked) emotional response to this matter is nuanced enough to take "provenance" of technical terms into account.

Do you even realize how ridiculous these nonsensical "arguments" sound?

This argument isn't just absurd but push it to its logical extreme, and you're inviting brutal thought policing and full-blown totalitarianism.

I stick with "master" in my Git repos partly because it's an excellent filter: it lets me steer well away from anyone who pitches a fit over the word.
