A lot less hype and enthusiasms, too. weird, uh.

Has anyone experience with that one?

Still, few do the math of upgrading just the motherboard after a couple of years, vs buying a new laptop.

Framework laptops have been retrocompatible for the last 6 years.

Still, I agree with the pope this once.

`nil` is not simpler than references and Option. lack of enum is complicating my code. automatic type promotion is a hidden bug waiting to happen and preventing proper strong types, lack of `?` is making things verbose. struct tags look simple, until you realize they are hiding a ton of code and creating a ton of corner cases that you still have to manually check, and are completely nonstandard (hello json and `default`, `omitempty/omitzero` etc...). `nil` and interfaces? it took decades to recognize that Generics simplify things for the programmer, no Send/Sync like in rust makes concurrent code more error prone, etc, etc...

And that is without talking about the standard library, where "simple" somehow becomes having `url.Parse` that accepts everything without errors. http body `nil` vs `NoBody`. Who hasn't had to write the Nth implementation of a pipe between reader and writer? Apparently most libraries hear "simple" and think "dumb". We could go on for hours.

Golang is much easier to learn, and rust does remain much more complicated. I don't thing golang hit his target of "simplicity" honestly.

I have a huge list of things that I have in Rust that I would like in Go, but I don't have a single thing I am missing from Go in Rust.

I grow tired of golang "dumb it down" approach as I find it actually just shifts more and more work onto me.

Is anyone in a different position? What does Go have that rust does not?

try it with `gcc -O1` and you will get a different result than with `gcc -O0`

Yesterday I would have agreed that C is a nice and simple language, today I believe it is a cursed one that we just happen to make work somehow.

This is funny to me because just today some friends gave me a link to a C quiz:

https://stefansf.de/c-quiz/

From which I gathered that it is a much more cursed language than I remembered. Maybe we all just got used to C and just happen to use a minimal subset.

The problems with C are not mainly with the standard library, but any effort to improve things should be lauded.

You buy this, you "vote" for this.

The open alternative exists. It costed more, but I saved a bit more and got it.

Vote with your wallet, where and while you can.

I tried fixing the paths and even linking `/bin/bash` to the nix /run/current-system/sw/bin/bash

/etc/passwd is unmodified.

Can anyone else try? CopyFail1 did not work because `su` is only executable, not readable, CopyFail2 worked only partially (changes /etc/passwd but the user is not passwordless)

I did try fixing the path to use nixos paths, but it was still unsuccessful. Did not really check further.

The copyFail didn't, the dirtyfrag doesn't.

This copfail2 does modify /etc/passwd, but I can't `su - sick` as expected.

Please stop using BSD/MIT licenses. Apache2+llvm extension, MPL2 are basically the same, but they also have patent protections for the users.

There are other options. You and your users and not protected from present and future patent trolls without a patent clause.

Nor does it give a single answer.

Mere prompting is still not enough for copyright, and the problem is unsolved on how much contribution a human needs to make to the generated code.

In the case for generated images copyright has been assigned only to the human-modified parts.

Even worse, it will be slightly different in other nations.

The only one that accepts copyright for the unchanged output of a prompt is China.

However I am convinced that forcing people to keep their shares for even just one week would stabilize the markets enough to make insider trading much more obvious (and easier to prosecute). It would also force a shift on perspectives more on the long run, instead of focusing on immediate speculation.

This was a prediction market, not a proper market trade, and I am glad I live in a country where that is outlawed. This is untaxed, unregulated gambling.

Apple could initially dismiss this as "doomsayers that talk about unreal future". Now this is proof.

Let's not dismiss this ourselves.

This is "I told you so", not "breaking news: nobody expected this!".

That is not just an AI problem. AI is just worsening a problem in USA society.

For years in the USA losing your job was not that big of a deal, because there were lots of other jobs to do, and they paid well.

The paranoia comes from the fact that people are discovering they have not saved anything and the jobs they need to merely survive (not even prosper anymore) are less and more difficult to obtain.

Hence the perceived value of the job you have is greater, and losing it looks worse.

The American dream was Homer Simpson, a simpleton with a huge house to his name, supporting a family as the (mostly) single earner. Today Homer would not be able to buy his own house, nor support his family.

Being poor is expensive. You have to pay rent for a house that will never be yours, often replace cheap things that break more often than the more expensive ones.You need money to make money, and that reinforces how money is essentially a zero-sum game. For billionaires to make even more, someone else has to make less.

TL;DR: It's not just AI. Americans are getting poorer. Poor is scary. And they don't have any social net like more socialist countries.

Good? Things like crypto and the current usa administration should have thought us that completely free markets are ripe for corruption and insider trading. None of that produces anything, and merely concentrates and ties together power and capital.

> As it becomes regulated, the monopolies become entrenched, innovation slows, homogenization is enforced, and products undergo a diminution in quality as monopolies needn’t compete

All of that happens because we let the monopolies do the regulation, and limit and block any antitrust action.

When people talk about a "free" market, they mean "free as in fair".

When billionaires talk about "free" market they actually mean "free as in deregulated".

You don't get "fair" without regulation.
