For the life of me I can't imagine having any group or organization dictate what I can and cannot do on a given day (within the confines of morality of course). That would feel to me like a severe limitation of my personal freedom. It extends to other religions as well by the way, I feel the same about headscarves for Muslim women or going to church for worship for Christians. The fact that I can get up on any given day, and do whatever I want to is one of the greatest gifts of life.

The longer A.I. exists, the more difficult it is to find new information that's actually more valuable than what's already in the training set.

New code found online will be more and more A.I. generated itself, creating a feedback loop that tops off the intelligence to a more or less the collective intelligence.

It might even degrade, like saving a .jpg image as .jpg over and over again.

I think the A.I. companies have infringed the copyright of/stolen almost all of the most valuable coding resources online at this point.They are almost literally scraping the bottom of the barrel.

I had a call recently with O'Reilly, the book publishing company, and they had taken the content of all of their books and offered an MCP server so you can add their knowledge to your coding agent, for a price of course. This sort of signals the same thing to me. We're at the top of the curve right now.

To keep investors happy (or to hide this fact from investors), A.I. companies need to get creative and either:

Cheat their way into getting more original (human written/verified) code.

Lie and say they are intentionally slowing down development.

I'm guessing both of these things are happening right now.

Interestingly, I have a conflict with my municipality. I fed the articles of law and their arguments of why and how they apply to notebooklm and asked it for fallacies. It not only gave me the fallacies in their reasoning, but also an excellent counter argument and motivation why they are interpreting this law incorrectly. The result is now that they are handing over the entire case to an independent third party to evaluate which interpretation is valid.

What's wrong with python for this use case?

No word on what that speed training actually consisted of.

Working more hours however =/= getting more done. In fact, some experiments show the opposite (within boundaries of course).

It's religion. The church pastor would visit the family if a young couple didn't have children within a year to ask what's up.

That being said: I don't get the discussions in this thread. The world can't sustain billions of people anyway. I think decline in the population is a very good thing to happen.

It's silly to think of it as some sort of insurmountable challenge that should be avoided at all cost.

To be fair, an iframe would accomplish that too, but the loaded content would have its own html header that adds to the amount of kilobytes used. So maybe that's the reason.

It's not about performance, it's about load time and the restrictions of your client apps.

Also, you're thinking way too much in a SPA architecture. Using just server side rendering with just a tiny bit of javascript like the article states removes most of the problems you describe like Initial load time and cross team collaboration. The load time of the described websites would be instant, and there is no front end team needed.

I use logseq a lot. Not just for development notes, but notes in general.

That would be nice. I've always wondered why it's so hard to harvest excess solar power as hydrogen gas by electrolysis, from what I understand the process is pretty inefficient. That would also be a good area for research.

ASML is already a good industry leader in it's field of expertise, expanding into other areas like green technologies and defence (lots of finances being freed up for that currently) will be very beneficial. I just read France has found an enormous amount of naturally occurring Hydrogen. Hydrogen powered cars would also be a good area for scientific research. And of course, genetics and medicine in general, the Netherlands started vaccinating poultry against bird flu last month in a world exclusive trial.

I ditched my Google account a while ago. That was tricky because I used it to log in to several websites.

I fortunately also got rid of Facebook a while ago. This gave me a lot more time back. It's difficult at first, because there's a little fomo, but now I am very happy.

I never started with all the other social media. No Instagram, no Twitter. So that makes it easy.

My computers have always run Linux, very happy with that.

Streaming services are next. At least the US ones.

Replacing whatsapp with signal also. I noticed a lot of my contacts are already in there, just not actively using it. It's a question of just starting communications and groups there.

It's quite doable, but you have to really want to "vote with your wallet" so to speak. I think it's a worthwhile sacrifice. In fact, it rids you of psychological warfare, reduces anxiety, costs less money and gives you your time back.

If you think about it that way, it's a no brainer.

I think there is a point to the authors remark on user-friendlyness.

It should be possible to improve the containerization experience by providing a better UI and maybe even a different syntax for docker files.

You can't be more wrong. You're saying that only logic performed on the client side can be considered an application? State can be stored in the server. Screen changes can be done by loading html, it doesn't need a framework. React is far from crucial for web development, but people haven't learned anything else the last decade. Most front end developers these days don't even know what a template engine is, and some don't even know how to create a website without a backend rest api that spews json data.

Won't the fact that it's written in Python make it too slow for high traffic sites or APIs?

I have used Allaire Homesite/Coldfusion Studio for many years to develop classic asp. It was a wonderful editor. Very customizable.

Communism is not the same socialism. In communism everyone gets the same pay. In socialism, everyone pays the same percentage of their income to help the people who are worst off and pay for the conveniences everyone can beneft from like healthcare, Infrastructure and housing.

I'm from Europe, I pay 50% in taxes and I can assure you that even here you can get rich. I can also attest that there's nothing wrong with the government having money for universal healthcare, infrastructure, security, mitigation climate change and housing.

You're generalizing all governments of all times. Surely there are people in governments that do spend money to benefit the majority? In a democracy, you get to vote for the people you trust most to do so, and vote out the people that don't. In the U.S. there's only two options on a national level, but that is a different problem.

That's not what OP says. You're talking about an absolute $150k, that is communism (everyone gets paid the same amount). He's talking about a fair percentage of taxes, paid by everyone, regardless of their income. This way, people that are left with little can be helped, and people that are left with a lot can still enjoy their wealth. I think 50% is fine, but taxes should be fair, no taxing already taxed goods or assets, and the ultra rich should not have ways to avoid paying their share like they do now.

> You're quite free to voluntarily send all your money to the Treasury.

Taxes should be fair for everyone of course. The original question was whether billionaires should pay more, and they should. The amount of money they have allows them to dodge the amount of taxes they truly owe. This gives them an unfair advantage over the rest of us, which only increases over time.

I love this comment, you are absolutely right. If every country/government would use the fediverse to enable free speech, and maybe even promote it, that would be a big step forward.

Really loved the Amiga, and used it way past its supposed expiration date. I really think if it wasn't for commodores mismanagement, this computer would have a lot more potential than Macs or PCs nowadays.

Everything you just wrote is either wrong or even exactly the opposite. The author of the article might be blunt and you might not like that in your mind things seem different, but the problems he highlights are real.

Semantic content is also about being legible for computers though. Even though it looks good to users, some might also care about it being defined well for machines and automated processes.

May I ask what you did to improve your deep sleep?

I theorize it's the wage gap. Why bust your ass for a company that makes millions or more, when the wage you get as an employee will not even allow you to buy a roof over your head?

Real estate is bought in bulk by the same people that rake in the big bucks in those companies as well. And rented out to people that can't afford to buy a house for premium profit.

The same is happening online: companies are using the collective intelligence of everyone to train models to sell back to those same people for profit.

We're getting screwed at both ends

For the first time in a long while a generation is worse off than their parents. Food, housing, health, clean air and water. Every basic need from the bottom of Maslow's pyramid is currently under scrutiny.

Bullocks. I wrote thousands if not hundred thousandths lines of untyped Python code in over 15 years, for critical systems and thousands of users. It works for me. I'm not confused about the code, I can code and debug quicker than many of my typed-language colleagues and even now that python supports type hints I often only use them in bigger projects or in places where they're actually convenient. It's simply the way of working that a developer is used to.

Warpinator in Linux Mint works nice in this regard. Works in local networks, discovers it's peers and has mobile clients.
