Exactly. I think npm and cargo just make Dependency (mis) management more accessible. You still need to choose worthwhile dependencies, and if you don’t want to update frequently, dependencies with stable long term support.

I think the best analogy to highlight the drawbacks of Rust is to say it’s like “Good test coverage.”. If you read that as 100% test coverage you can spend a lot of time doing some trivial overhead that probably isn’t doing a whole lot. But, if you have half a brain it’s probably not particularly harmful. If you read that as effective test coverage, you probably know the problem quite well and it’s probably some overhead, but you get to feel a bit more confident and have some executable documentation.

Neither of which I have heard to be useful or converted in the game industry so it sounds like a waste of time.

That said, if you’re like me and that overhead sounds nice, then you might like Rust :P

The problem of not teaching the less experienced and just doing the work yourself has always existed. Perhaps to a lesser degree in some industries that mandated it by necessity/demand. AI makes it more convenient/viable or reduces necessity/demand but the lesson is the same and will be learnt again, at least eventually.

The edge case is software development, for the bog standard stuff I write at work it probably helps me get work done about 15%-30% faster and with costs of $200-$400 USD a month the math actually works out. At current prices anyway. Also the electricity costs of running open weight models is even cheaper and if there is a pop HW prices may make that an obvious choice too. The worst case IMO would be a slow boil of prices to recoup the unsustainable growth then a slow decline to wherever normal ends up. In that case everyone is left indignant.

Agreed, However I also wonder how or if LLMs could help with what we don’t know we need. With the processing pace of LLMs and the massive context the can processes at once. It seems like it could make the broader connections that are usually the harder to find more accessible.

Pretty sure all my repos are MIT licensed for the betterment of everyone, but I’m not on the list! So I guess I’m not good enough, or they are failing to follow the attribution clause of it.

I didn’t know until recently that the US had such an effective blockade, so enemies of the US are Cuba’s only hope, this is great to see.

If you cut out buffer bloat it’s easy to forget that everything is only slightly slower, it’s the inconsistency in the latency that makes you really notice. With a base of ~130ms when it doubles for those first couple of packets of every page load you really feel it, as long as it’s smooth, your brain can adjust.

I have it for my whole house and no one notices/complains.

That said, it’s kind of niche then more niche to run it on the VPN too, I wish it were more accessible.

I wouldn’t take it as far as paying allows demands. If I decided to pick up some litter in my way in public and some sees it. Just because they shoves a $20 in my face, doesn’t mean they can demand and expect I’ll pick up all the other trash around. There would need to be contract (even just Social) negotiations at the least!

In the last couple of months I just bought 12 months through a voucher that is no more so doubt I’d get a refund, so I’ve got some time to decide. I swear everything I look into deep enough has something going wrong with it, but I guess all we can do it take the battles we can handle.

Sure, that’s fine, I tend to agree, I was drawing out the picture of the collateral, so it’s considered as much or as little as it is worth, but at least considered.

I read it as he implicitly does understand that and is the reason he suggests getting a refund if that is your priority. He is just urging people to see nuance that there is collateral damage for the rest of the people that make mullvad too. A loose analogy would be, I disagree with Trump and I wish my country would divest from the USA, which is all well and good, but the workers don’t have great protections and would likely be the first to hurt. Sure a majority of them voted for him I could rationalize, but that’s not the same rationalisation companies use to layoff before they actually start to hurt.

Religion helps with being overwhelmed with nuance and grey (as in not black and white). I felt that I was capable handling/accepting the reality of life and was motivated by the few instances of pain that this same help can cause to other. What I really valued from religion was morals or the moral goal and a system that dictates which are okay to not worry about didn’t sit well with me. Not saying I’m doing any better, I just have the nuance to adjust my system to be better. Instead of faithfully following something.

My take is that it is all subjective, I feel like I busted ass, I feel like a god interviewed, I feel like it was my lucky socks. Without a study and metrics we can’t objectively measure reliably, but that would be overkill for every little thing. So we take our subjective shortcuts and move on. My advice would be focus on the sentiment, “that’s impressive, it’s good that hard work/gods intervention/lucky socks helped that outcome, because it seems so surreal otherwise.”. That or have the heart to heart and put in the effort to align if it’s important and they are important to you.

There isn’t so much of the story elements, especially if you’ve tried Braid, but The Witness has endless intrigue and abstract puzzles. https://store.steampowered.com/app/210970/The_Witness/

Pretty sure the bar for dystopia is above the bottom, so best not focus downwards too much or you’ll miss half the picture.

I think this depends on the speed of AI, If it’s a slow role out and unemployment/poverty is a slow boil over decades, it probably could be a manageable minority by the “super rich”. But if it does happen quickly like the hype would have you believe, well that’s a lot of unhappy people with not much to do or lose, which is quite a lot of bargaining power.

It’s only good if you live in walking/driving distance from a train line or bus way. Assuming the destination is also walking distance on the other end.

His party did try, but the voters weren’t a big enough fan of that idea apparently. So bringing stupidity into the equation would probably just offend voters smart enough to realise that much.

It is defensible in this kind of community, but I doubt it’s defensible in a board voter base. For instance people see billionaires and are saying the government should step in and do something, because as individuals we are somewhat helpless. In this instance we’re like we can fork/we can revert so the government ideally just needs to back off. But if you ask a non-tech savvy voter (and a parent in your example) they will just see big tech and say the government should step in and do something. Has this method of governance been compromised? Sure, is this law an example of that? Sure. But what can we do? The government… Well until people can agree on that, I think we are just trying to find a compromise so that most people can easily dismiss the perspective that parenting tech is too hard. And if people can believe that typing in an age for their child and see big penalties for big tech if they ignore that age, that seems to me the placebo this situation needs.
