Those exist e.g. https://menuetos.net/ it’s just most people dont use them.

I agree with you though. If Apple open sourced os9, and the community could get it to run on modern hardware, I would run it.

I suppose it’s in how you word it. I’ve given up on trying to get a job because there is no point in trying. I can’t afford to pay my rent, but I guess you could call that early retirement.

Yeah, cool. The only way to get past resume filters now is to have AI write your CV and cover letter. TAs in school will grade you higher on your papers if you use AI so your papers sound like the median of all academic papers - you get down graded if it is "in your own voice".

So, I agree with the moral stance of the article, and I personally take all the Ls from all the CV rejection, and the lower grades because I write the paper myself. Just realize that you are choosing life on hard mode for negative societal and "dominance hierarchy" benefit.

Optimistic! There is so much to learn, invent and discover.

> There's no 'rigorous comparison' that puts CNNs over Vits

That’s not accurate. My team wrote a paper for school in which a resnet model out performed a ViT model of the same size on almost all metrics. These were smaller models, but depending on the use case that might be what you want.

I agree, but I’d extend that to any language using a package manager at this point. “A little copying is better than a little dependency” even more correct now.

All my current projects have all the code needed in the repo (unless impossible, and aside from a compiler which I guess could also be compromised)

> I’ve never understood the “if I don’t enable bad behavior, someone else will, so I might as well enable bad behavior” argument.

If someone is going to make a lot of money (fame, etc), it might as well be me.

If your codebase is pure golang it’s trivial to cross compile for different OSs (aside from binary signing on macOS). If you add some kind of C code you have to jump through a bunch of hoops to get a binary. Funny enough, I was looking for this exact project for that reason last week.

To help with any survivorship bias, 30 years in still no where close to success.

I dont know what CTF stands for so I dont know if I am interested in this article or learning anything about it. Maybe I am.

Are you really arguing for not just typing out whatever 3 words this stands for once in the name of clarity?

So much this. Lisp can do things other languages have a hard time with. I think a resurgence is in order.

I wouldn’t give a junior drop access to the prod database (or anyone for that matter from a dev machine), let alone an LLM.

How do people keep doing this?

If that were true, industry interview processes would be very different.

sc has been around for quite a while: https://github.com/robrohan/sc there are several versions floating around.

“Here's the part I think a lot of people miss:”

:-/

The same argument could be made about people writing articles and influencing actions in other humans. Something, it seems, people want to use AI for. Have AI write articles for them.

Maybe have a play with them a bit more. LLMs are quite good at coding, but terrible at software engineering. You hear people talk about “guiding them” which is what I think they are getting at. You still need to know what you are doing or you’ll just drive off a cliff eventually.

At the moment I am trying to fix a vibe coded application and while each individual function is ok, the overall application is a dog’s breakfast of spaghetti which is causing many problems.

If you derive all your pleasure from actually typing the code then you’re probably toast, but if you like building whole systems (that run on production infrastructure) there is still heaps of work to do.

Not exactly what you’re saying, but a bit closer. With this library you set what css classes on the page are “hot”, it fetches the next page state and replaces that part of the page with the new state: https://github.com/robrohan/diffy
