Using AI lazily is a problem though. Writing code has never been the most important part of software development, making sure that the code does what the user needs is what takes most of the time. But from the github issues and the comment here from the few who have tested the tool, it looka like the author didn't even test the AI output on real PDF.
If you use AI to build in 3 month something that would have taken a year without it, then cool. But here we're talking about someone who's spending 2-3 hours every other day building a new fake software project to pad his resume. This isn't something anyone should endorse.
Sure, if the warning levels are poorly tuned I might configure my LSP to ignore everything and loosen the enforcement in the build steps until I'm ready to self review. Something I can't stand with Typescript for example is when the local development server has as strict rules as the production builds. There's no good reason to completely block doing anything useful whatsoever just because of an unused variable, unreachable code, or because a test that is never going to get committed dared to have an 'any' type.
An example I like to use are groups that put their autofmratter into a pre-commit. Why should I be held to the formatting rules for code before I send my code to anyone?
I'm particular about formatting, and it doesn't always match group norms. So I'll reformat things to my preferred style while working locally, and then reformat before pushing. However I may have several commits locally that then ge curated out of existence prior to pushing.
Not if I push my branch it to origin. But until I do that, it's none of your concern if I do or don't. Once it gets thrown over the wall to my colleagues and/or the general public, that's the point where I should be conforming to repo norms. Not before then.
Surprisingly, 3GB is a real practical RAM limit for aws lambdas in 2025: you can only have more than that if you submit a support ticket. But it's not really mentioned anywhere in the docs.
The default Lambda quota for all accounts is 10240 MB. I've never seen it below that (in recent memory, at least), even on fresh accounts not connected to a big org.
I know I routinely use 10gb of RAM for my account that's never talked to support for the related CPU allocation.
For books that are published in more traditional manners, digital or paper, there is normally a credible publisher, editors, sometimes a foreword from a known figure, reviews from critics or experts in the field, and often a bio about the author explaining who they are and why they wrote the book etc. These different elements are all signals of reliability, they help to convey that the content is more than just fluff around an attention-grabbing title, that it has depth and quality and holds up. The whole publishing business has put massive effort into establishing and building these markers of trust.
During dt's first term I believed this as well and eagerly awaited the Mueller investigation.
Then when he won reelection I concluded I was consuming media in an echo chamber.
This fear you're commenting on goes way farther back than dt.
Ballroom, mueller investigation, Benghazi, guantanemo, tan suit, parkland, Alex Jones, mission accomplished, 911. These all got airtime. Some longer than others.
You're commenting on the nature of media to fill silence with noise, and the expectation we place on the reader to triage the news.
Biased newsfeeds are one thing, cronyism and flooding courts/weaponizing the judicial system are a different thing.
It could be the case that the level of cronyism and weaponizing we see today is the same amount as in the past.
It's up to the reader to determine how much of their opinion is due to bias, and how much is due to a real increase in nefarious political strategy. Some are more diligent about checking their sources that others.
To be fair to Trump, he was the target of lawfare after his election loss in 2020, for instance. He claimed later that he would have vengeance. Not a magnanimous move, but Trump is not magnanimous. He has stated before that he enjoys destroying his enemies, with relish and verve.
In any case, when we fixate on one political figure or party, we lose sight of the general picture. In sociological terms, Trump is not very important. He is more of an expression of the times than their cause. He may catalyze certain changes, but he's hardly alone in doing that. In the broad sense, the general historical trajectory is not really deflected by him.
A wiser perspective is to look at broad trends. One should read Plato's Republic. The decadence of society described in that book - degenerating into timocracy (rule by honor), then oligarchy (rule by wealth), then democracy (rule by freedom), ending finally in anarchy - are a good context for understanding how these processes tend to play out.
So those boxes of classified documents were totally innocuous? "Find me votes" and alternate elector slates weren't to advance his stated goal of reversing his loss?
I think my point is you're expected to triage find me votes vs 911. And the fact that find me votes is in the news isn't indicative of democratic decline, its the way the news work.
I am not sure I understand. Both of those events are significant: a sophisticated terrorist attack on the United States and a president trying to coerce a swing state governor into changing its election results.
News triages the newsworthiness. Viewers triage what elements of the news that are most meaningful to them.
I don't really see the problem, except qualms about execution.
News triages newsworthiness based on clicks, its incentivized to get an emotional reaction out of you.
The reader has to wade through all that to triage the absolute importance.
After years of consuming media that led me to believe dt was a Russian spy or at best a political underdog I stopped believing there was some grand scheme that he's trying to overtake the government. Half the country voted for him twice, the dedicated investigation did not convict him of collusion, the supreme court is doing its job.
Do you not see the trend to keep you anticipating some terrible coup etc?
> To be fair to Trump, he was the target of lawfare after his election loss in 2020, for instance.
To be fair to reality, no, he wasn’t. He committed a number of very serious crimes flagrantly out in the open and the Justice Department was inordinately slow in responding to them out of a number of factors, including institutional partisan bias (even under Democratic Administration the bulk of the federal criminal investigatory apparatus has always been Republican, including political appointees at the FBI, and every single FBI director in the bureau's history), concern over appearing political trumping concern over enforcing the law, and, well, a number of other things.
One I wonder about but cannot prove: I wonder if the Justice Department wanted the prosecutions to wait until 2024, so that they would tar Trump during the campaign. If so, they were well-served for that bit of trying to put a thumb on the electoral scales. Trump was able to delay the cases until after the election. If they had begun a year earlier, we might be living in a very different world.
Speaking of Mission Accomplished and 9/11, I recently watched Tucker Carlson's 9/11 series. I was expecting garbage but it actually did an amazingly good job building off of Fahrenheit 9/11 using the stuff that's come out in the 20yr since. If you take a step back the contrast does a really does a good job illustrating how just by sprinkling bullshit into the data the state, the media, etc, can do a sufficiently good job keeping people from connecting the dots or knowing what questions they ought to be asking.
Moore knew something stunk, but he was groping around in the dark in a totally different political climate less receptive to questioning authority.
I no longer succumb to the emotional response opinions or claims like this try to evoke.
Don't we all remember how worked up we were over the russia collusion story, and the special prosecutor Robert muller...and nothing came of it...and we all forgot about it.
I genuinely feel that the constant exposure to a media that fights for your outrage is the single most dividing factor in our country. It's not a president, its not a Charlie Kirk, its not a Nancy Pelosi. Its a news channel that blasts the worst extreme of an interpretation of a quote into a dedicated story, day in and day out.
We no longer have conversations, in person or online, that don't include a whatsaboutism for every single thing.
What about Charlie kirks assassin, what about the January riots, what about blm riots, what about trumps assassination attempts, what about Nancy Pelosis husband, what about ....
Question the media you consume. Really consider the quality of information you're digesting or if its just a play for an emotional reaction.
> Don't we all remember how worked up we were over the russia collusion story, and the special prosecutor Robert muller...and nothing came of it...and we all forgot about it.
There was a full report and people were convicted of crimes related to the investigation.
Erlang's runtime system, the BEAM, automatically takes care of scheduling the execution of lightweight erlang processes across many cpus/cores. So a well written Erlang program can be sped up almost linearly by adding more cpus/cores. And since we are seeing more and more cores being crammed into cpus each year, what Joe meant is that by deploying your code on the latest cpu, you've doubled the performance without touching your code.
