"AI" is good right now and feels inevitable. But the current models are trained on the extinct "pure" information state we had pre llm:s. Going forward we will have to start taking into account the current level of "ai slop" being added to the the information space. So I will have to trust my "detect ai generated information" LLM to correctly classify my main three llms responses as "hallucinating", "second level hallucinating", "fact based", "trustworthy aggregate" or "injection attack attempt". Probably should add another llm to check that response as well. Printed as a check list so that I can manually check it myself.
This is my fear when I think about doing actual in a team using a functional language. That there's an imbalance in understanding between participants in a team making all discussions about problem x into the pattern matchning problem y. Like "is this liftM2 or liftA2?"
I've only had a couple of months of experience working with scala before the team switched to Java. The reasons were many but one of them was that the external consultant that was most knowledgeable in "thinking with functions" was kind of a dick. Making onboarding into a horror show of "go look up yt video x before I can talk about this functionality" with a condescending tone. So within a month he was let go and then no one in the remaining team really had the courage to keep debe it further. Some thought that they maybe could maintain the current functionality but the solution was only like half complete. (in the consultant mind it was complete because it was so generic you only needed to add a couple of lines in the right place to implement each coming feature)
That said, I would love to work in a hardcore Haskell project with a real team, one with a couple of other "regular" coders that just help each other out when solving the actual problems at hand.
Well, I can't speak to your experience but in the case of liftM2 vs liftA2 I have never even seen liftM2 get used. Its more of a historical oddity that it is available.
Sure. It's ironic, because someone saying "Emperor or Bust" is trying to become the emperor. Zuck is already zuck, so "Zuck or nothing" is throwing shade at everyone trying to be him.
Ok. Russia evil, Ukraine good. Now what? Do we sit around and wait for the chosen one? Is Zelensky the one? How much time should we give him? Maybe Trump is the one?
Don't get me wrong, I'm swede and like most here I'm firmly on Ukraine's side and see the pure evil shit Russian military does _every _day without any illusions. But this framing of good vs evil does not seem to pan out. A common sentiment is just to wipe out Russia from the map. And tempting as it might be, that doesn't seem very noble/good and the alternative, "Russian people finds the good in them and throw out the oligarchy forcefully and install democracy", is very naive. I mean even the US, a fully armed populace of strong freeminded men can't seem to see that they are treading the same path as Russia and take action. How reasonable is it then to have that expectation of a people systematically disempowered for decades.
> Are you in Donbas currently? If not, you are not fighting anything.
That's a very simplistic world-view. One does not have to be on the frontlines to help an effort. People donating to https://ukrainedefensefund.org/ are still "fighting", even though they aren't literally gunning people down in Donbas.
How do you want this worded? It’s worth giving the Ukrainians a fuckton of equipment, and potentially organized military intervention for? You can summarize that as ‘fighting’.
The problem is that as a European, giving in here means they come closer. Next time it’s the Polish border, then the German.
Why would you want to wipe Russia off the map? I don’t think we’d achieve anything with that except our own destruction. I’d settle for giving them a good punch in the face instead of strongly worded letters.
Asassinate Putin, a sponsored coup. Something like that.
Good vs evil is simplistic enough that It can be used to convince basically anyone that those are a good idea. The only thing we really have to be wary of is that thing someone said:
The only thing that’s necessary for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing.
Sony are giving up on the compact flagship 5 series because "People are no longer interested in compact phones and would rather go for a large one if it offers the same benefits". And unfortunately the specs of the Xperia 10 just doesn't cut it for me. :(
Funny enough I found some old pants that still fit, ~20y old, and those pockets does not fit a modern phone. But I remember my Nokia 6210 being just the right size for them.
Sounds about right. I remember around 15 years ago a family member got a new phone and I thought it was laughably big. Probably smaller than what I'm currently using in retrospect.
Some cowboy developer pushed me to prod despite a glaring beta tag and a plethora of known critical bugs. Yet here I am, 45 minors later with the beta tag still there, delivering measurable value to all my users.
But in a _relational_ database lack of spouse would not be modeled with a nullable column "spouse" but rather an absence of a spouse row/relation. Which is very real-world-like.
As a sort of challenge I had an idea of building an app using SQL as a pseudo ECS system where every table was either a 1 column table with only an id or a 2 column table with an id and a value.
And yet when you do a join because you need to actually use that data, the resulting table will have a column with nulls in it. Any way you squeeze it, you need a way to represent empty values for your database to be useful.
IDK, do you want to exclude people without a middle name or a second address line when examining a product order list? I'll leave that one for you to decide.
