I am not sure philosophy interests itself about if we can do it yet or not.

that also brings the philosophycal question of will I be the same if all my atoms and molecules are copied exactly the same?

With so many hearing aid users around, this may be the perfect time for me to ask what it is like to wear one, and how it improves dayly life.

I have some hearing loss (suppose moderate) only in my left ear. As this is only on single one I think I am coping enough with the right for now. With regular "ha , sorry, what?" moments.

In your experience should I be investing in one immediately or trying my best with current coping situation for now?

I still can't believe that we are in the era of 'star trek' like "Computer plot me a proof for this math problem" in my life time! Wish we could also do the same for "Beam me up scotty"

I feel odd about "bug fixing" to be a special occasion than being the work. Features need to be added, so do bugs need to be fixed. Making it a special occasion makes it feel like some very low priority "grunt work" that requires a hard push to be looked at.

> They are fascinated by the pipedream (intended) of LLMs enabling them to lay off masses of workers and having AI do the work instead

I am not fascinated by that part, I am honestly scared for my future.

I suppose all comes down to who runs the leading (or any) investment companies. Money people are not known to be technically literate enough for not being fooled by magic (any sufficiently advanced technology).

They are facinated by llms that they are pouring down money to AI related companies. Can you blame them? Can’t deny, I am also fascinated by llms.

Author already mentions that a correction is still an error in the context of this task.

Thank you. I need to check this out.

Helm developers are not known to be developer/user friendly at all.

Most of the time discussion derails as everyone is focusing on different aspects of the experience.

When you look into all the complaints one by one they are exceptionally acurate.

  * yaml has its quirks. - check
  * text templating can’t be validated for spec comformity - check
  * helm has lot’s of complexity - check
  * helm has dependency problems - check
  * helm charts can have too many moving parts with edge cases causing deep dive in the chart - check

and many others. However proposed solutions cut short on providing the value helm brings on.

Helm is not just a templating engine to provide kubernetes manifests. It’s an application deployment and distribution ecosystem. Emphasis on the "ecosystem".

  * It brings dependency management,
  * It provides kubernetes configuration management.
  * It provides abstraction over configuration to define applications instead of configuration.
  * It provides application packaging solution.
  * It provides an application package manament solution.
  * There is community support with huge library of packages.
  * It’s relatively easy to create or understand charts with a varied experience level. A more robust and strictly typed templating system would remove at least half of this spectrum.
  * The learning curve is flat.

When you put all of these in to consideration, it’s relatively easy to understand why it’s this prominant in the kubernetes ecosystem.

It's also changing scene features too. Like removed background trees.

Is it me or ChatGPT change subtle or sometimes more prominent things? Like ball holding position of the hand, face features like for head, background trees and alike?

I used Gemini to decode and transcribe an old (and well known) cursive hand written mail. I couldn't read it at all. It managed to do this in a few seconds. I am not sure if it used an already available transcription or not. However if not, it was amazing work.

Very very well put. I couldn’t describe my same state as you have. Makes perfect sense for me. Thank you.

Most of the time, people without weight problems, or who has bodies that acts in favor of calorie restriction likes to reject claims of this kind.

If I had a nickel everytime I heard "You have to be doing something wrong".

However science is not clear cut, our bodies and genetics are less so. My personal experience also suggest trying to limit calories is not working for me either. It’s absolutely more complex than that. And I managed to lose 45 kgs to 72 once , and recently around 20 to 105. As this implies yes it was not long term at all. ( 3-4 years of slim body ).

Psychology, Hormones, Stress, Sedantal everyday life, eating habit changes has different effects and if the stars don’t align the correct way I can’t lose weight, or keep doing it. Particularly trying to limit calories with conventional ways requires steel nerves which also affects everyday life inversely.

In my experience this satiety looks like has some - small or big- effect.

There are different effects like NEAT, p-ratios or Adaptive Thermogenesis. As google gemini told me recently, (check for facts as I didn’t do much) there are few theories working towards understanding these body responses to similar diets like set point theory, or thrifty gene theory.

So instead of rejecting these claims perhaps we need to look with more accepting eyes to understand these kinds of calori restriction responses for different gene compositions.

Print debugging is, checking patient's life signs, eye color, blood pressure, skin inflammation and so on. However using debuggers are like putting the patient through an MRI machine. It can provide you very advanced diagnostic information, but it's expensive, time consuming, requires specialized hardware and education. Alike medicinal doctors it's easier and logical to use the basics until absolutely necessary.

When I read the testimonials, my take was the developers are not taking themselves too seriously. It felt well for me. They are not trying to sell one perspective, and not hiding what haters tell too. I suppose I find this refreshing.

Are they? Until Let's Encrypt came along and democratise the CA scene, it was a hell hole. Web Security was depending on how deep your pockets are. One can argue that the same path is being laid in front us until a Let's Encrypt comes along and democratise it? And here as it's about attestation, how are we going to prevent gatekeeper's doing "selective attestations with arguable criteria"? How will we prevent political forces?

Futurama! Just watched that episode today.

Thank you! That's the one. I can't spot any of them and feel really bad

There was a website where you were looking for drowning people in different situations. It was very informative and eye opening.

I still don't know which is which. Just give me the power to the 10, Is it 10^9 or 10^12? Who know?

In fact you are right! Somehow This didn't register. Thank you.

Microsoft loves to own general terminology like "edit" for their products. I have no idea how this flys.

SqlServer like it's the one that found sql or it's the only product that serves sql.

I am not against people understanding software. I never argued to have "a small self-selected group of people understand that software".

However "learning to program" and "understanding software" is not the same thing. Learning to program helps one to better understand software, but it's not a necessity or requirement of it.

"Everyone needs to learn" vs "People who needs to interact with software needs to better understand it" are very different points on the "understanding software" axis.

On the contrary these are not orthogonal to the base premise of everyone needs to learn programming.

Reading and Writing is not something you learn just because it's beneficial to society. It's beneficial to one-self's life as it's the bases for communication. It can be placed on safety needs or belonging needs on the Maslows' Hierarchy of needs.

Basic arithmetic is requirement for continuity of one's life as you can't plan resource management (money, food) to function without it. It could be put on the safety needs.

I am having trouble positioning programming in any level below self actualization.

There are people who do not interact with computers at all. There are areas where there is no electricity. There are people in war zones. Examples that comes to my mind is, a janitor, an oil rig worker, a miner, a private in 3rd world country. Perhaps they never interact with computers in their lifetimes.

I am tired of this "Everyone needs to learn programming" idea. It's exhausting. No. People doe not need to learn programming unless they need to deal with computers in a sense that they need to instruct them for automation.

We are silently watching "Country of the Free" falling at max velocity to the deepest of the darkest pits of fascism, teocrasy, and dictatorship.
