> Demand for software engineers in the Bay Area has fallen 42% since 2022, according to Lightcast, a labor-market analytics firm. Jobs tied to AI-related IT and computer science, meanwhile, have jumped 37%.

How much of this is just everything IT-related being rebranded as AI?

I like that you can see a Covid bump in there and then it immediately craters lol

I guess? But non-monied groups (e.g. volunteer doorknockers, phonebanks) would use the same data to decide where to focus.

Something about trying to deliberately distort the public about the likely status of an election also just feels icky to me. Likely to cause more harm than good.

What? You’re stating this like it’s self-evident, but I don’t follow.

Digging through the current Haskell standard library - for_ calls traverse_, which calls foldr, which calls foldMap, which calls… foldr. Found the recursion! The person you’re replying to is correct - you can mimic the style of a for loop, but under the hood all of this stuff is going to be implemented with recursion (and tail recursion, if you don’t want to hate your life).

I also may have gotten some detail slightly wrong, the code in Data.Foldable is kinda weird and I haven’t Haskell’d in a while

You sound extremely ngmi. Please adjust your attitude to be more rocket ship emoji to the moon hockey stick, please.

Anecdotally, the amount of spam I see on Instagram (the meta platform I’m on) is fairly low. I’m also not suggesting that it’s a a simple problem to solve, but that Meta has deep pockets to pay smart engineers and human moderators to solve it. It just seems unrelated to this change.

I think this is far too charitable an interpretation. They could just ban spammers. Facebook doesn’t want links going off of their platform because they get paid for people staying on their platform and looking at ads.

These things are pretty big and Philly sidewalks are narrow enough with just regular pedestrian traffic. Incidentally, I’ve only seen these things in relatively high-foot traffic areas too. This is just tech companies seeing what they can get away with, as usual.

> When you remove this greed and status seeking

I don’t necessarily disagree but it seems like the AI companies are just as status seeking and infinitely greedier.

Ahh fair enough. Guess I wasn’t measuring the length of the observable universe in the frame of the astronaut…

> IIRC, it is possible to get anywhere in the observable universe in one human lifetime assuming 1g of constant acceleration.

Huh? You can’t go faster than light speed, and the observable universe is way larger than ~100 light years.

Russ Cox points out that races are the one place in Go besides unsafe where Go lacks memory safety: https://research.swtch.com/gorace

I do think the nitpicking about this is mostly from people that want to say “my favorite language is safer than Go” which stupid and annoying.

Not important to the technology, sure, but for someone curious about the bizarre public statements of AI companies (or EA-influenced crypto figures before them, like SBF), it does help to know who these people are and what they believe. Behind the new crop of bajillionaires that control some important aspects of our lives are some oddball philosophers (or cult/religious leaders, if you want to be less charitable). If you want the answer to "why are these rich and powerful people saying and doing these things" you need to look at who they're paying attention to and reading, even if you think their opinions are dumb or niche.

If technology companies were much less politically and economically significant, probably no one would give a shit about any of this stuff beyond forums like this.

I think there's no other way it could be. If you're not violent you get wrecked by modern pathogens and die, or become integrated somewhat into modern society and can no longer be considered "uncontacted".

As a data/serialization format (the original intended use of JSON), I think no comments is the right choice, since adding comments introduces a bunch of questions about how comments ought to be parsed into a datastructure (or if they should be sent/(de)serialized at all). But for config files the lack of comments is the wrong choice, since typically you want to explain why things are set the way they are. The lack of ordering of entries also makes total sense for data/(de)serialization, but makes no sense for a config. I think the problem is people are lazy and just want to JSON.parse() everything, and used JSON in places it doesn't belong, like config files.

Effective at what though? The article is not exactly painting a rosy picture of EIC, nor should it. More of an advertisement for laws and regulations that curtail such abuses and an educated populace that can see such a threat to their liberty.

Tail call elimination often is part of the language semantics though, for the reason others in this thread have described. E.g. Scheme specifies when a conformant implementation is required to eliminate tail calls: https://conservatory.scheme.org/schemers/Documents/Standards...
