I’ve held the staff engineer title some times and when the company did so my role was to be a sort of backup if some team could not solve something. When I was not allocated to a specific team I collaborated with other engineers on specs and higher level planning. We also worked on internal libraries and tools.

Typst is simply amazing. I wrote a thesis using latex and boy would I love if I had found about typst sooner.

Don’t get me wrong. Phoenix is wonderful, Elixir kicks serious ass as a language. Jose valim is one of the kindest and most prolific guys I met on the net. I’d use elixir for a solo project any time.

C’mon, you might like it or not, but HTMX is a breeze to play with.

I regret using it. Recruiting risk. Smaller ecosystem. I should have gone for Python.

This really looks like it was generated via an LLM + crawler.

The us idea of free speech doesn’t apply even in the us.

If the good of the society is irrelevant to you, you are by definition a sociopath.

You see, you are a victim of misinformation. You are reaching at an immaterial argument that doesn’t advance the question really. Twitter has not been good to any society, or we would to go throug heaps of evidence on the bad effects social media has on society.

Let’s argue over whether social media is beneficial or not, because unless you are a lawyer specialized in constitutional law and individual rights, there’s no lawyer here to really argue over fine points of the law.

Yes, some has to call some shots. The state as body politic of the society looks like the right institution to work.

I fully disagree.

I am free to speak in Brazil.

Freedom of speech must be defined clearly. You can’t scream fire in the theater, so I have proved it’s not absolute.

Is it okay to spread misinformation online? I don’t think so.

It’s as simple as that.

Brazil due to 1/ the penetration of WhatsApp, Twitter and other social media and 2/ low penetration of newspapers and reading in general, is suffering from disinformation more so than any other country.

I just have to read 5 or 6 tweets from X to see that twitter has become the cesspool of the internet.

Freedom of speech is nowhere absolute. Freedom of speech in America is not a model. It’s not free if most media conglomerates are owned by billionaires with their own interest. They buy media companies not because they love them, because they can use them. Assuming otherwise is simply naive. Communication has played a crucial part of politics since forever.

It’s impossible to take Musk seriously. And his stance is too convenient and hypocritical. He played by India’s and China’s very strict laws but is trying to gauge forces as a geopolitical player. This is not about freedom of speech. Pictures of dog scrotum are in my opinion a lowly form of rhetoric.

It’s just too common, nowadays, to see freedom as a lack or constraints and not as the possibility of satisfaction. Freedom comes from Frater in Latin, since freedom in Greece meant to be among your brothers (Fratii in Latin), because when you are with your commons, you can achieve greater things.

Freedom in speech as you say only serves those who can produce tons of bullshit which must be refuted with much more work by whoever’s sane.

Piano is easier to see - there’s only one way to do it!

Alloy is much simpler than TLA+.

Is fizzbee a frontend to TLA+?

Well programming IS difficult. And a senior developer knows it. It’s easy enough to master C++ in a year, but ten years are not enough. So zen. What I mean is if you know your language enough, you will sometime realize you never know everything.

It’s not that productivity has stagnated. It is that much of our produce is now intangible. But we do put out terabytes of memes and Instagram pics and TikTok’s everyday. For good or bad that’s what people like nowadays, and that is where money goes to. If we count entertainment and bingeing as legitimate economic utilities, we are in the midst of the craziest economic boom ever.

Let’s say he is too much an interested party to have any credibility on his opinion. Would he not say it is the case? He bet his company on it. He is paid to say so.

I don’t know what you are talking about. The world around is nothing but the fruit of research.

Consider profit as what happens when the demand for your product is strong enough to warrant reinvestment.

Sorry, this is too ambitious and overstated. A thesis about a four decade long, all reaching economics phenomenon needs much more research and evidence to be taken with any seriousness.

When did this become a boy-girlfriend issue?

But the violent firing and wording could me made much, much easier for both sides if it had been so.

And vice versa

Lied to the board and they _rushed_ to oust him.

No clear transition plan. In what situations world a board fire the ceo from the worlds greatest tech sensation since who knows when, in a matter of hours ?

_That_ is his ideology.

Yep.

Hi fellow Zappa fan.

The tone used by OpenAI (their distrust of Sam Altman) tells me that they did not simply decide they need different leadership. The statement by the board seriously damages his career. Why else would they burn bridges and oppose themselves on ethical grounds? Or they are trying to blame and sac Altman.

Beyond the mere topological metaphor of neural networks there is almost nothing in common between brains and widigital computation. This is a widespread fallacy of category.

The brain backprops??????

By trying to look smart you look stupid in assuming this is simple. You need to improve your soft skills.
