I don't get how you can name your DB after particleboard, not the strongest material, and achieve hype ;-)

definitely not suitable for runtimes. After all, OCaml's own runtime is in C, not OCaml! For compilers I agree it's a fine choice.

That's very uncharitable. Crypto has been extremely useful for all sorts of grifters and enabled separating fools from their money at true web scale.

That's what Twirp (https://github.com/twitchtv/twirp) is about. Protobuf or JSON, over any HTTP, with a simple URL schema. It's fairly simple.

So many little things for parents. Your list is good. I was also struck by "early baby", for example, for subtext children will only get when they re-watch in 20 years.

So you can't even debug or check the LLM's output for correctness? Good luck with that.

If anything, the best use for LLMs is to produce code in very strong languages like Lean, where correctness of the code can be established. Just trusting machine code output would be irresponsible.

Thank you for sharing. What a terrifying experience. I hope you get some help to deal with the trauma.

Thank you, not surprising it's the nordic countries. I can't imagine this in the US but I'm glad to learn some places pull it off.

Where do you see sunshine? Are the "audits" public at all? It's indistinguishable from just having Musk kill every agency he dislikes with no further proof, while siphoning data to some unspecified server. The timeline also hints at no serious audit taking place.

Can you point to a country that publicly releases everybody's tax returns, as a policy? I know some countries that release elected officials' returns, but not those of common people.

TIL, thank you.

You think that individual choice is the one and only way to fix climate change? The new regime's policy is "drill baby drill". That's a lot more impactful than people electing not to buy a particular brand of electric cars.
