Mador – a Process Dies

React code looks so ugly to my taste. Try reading it: "use state zero". What does it even mean? And why "const" is used for a value that changes? I didn't understand how the compiler works completely, but I assume it tries to figure out what would it had taken for the US State Department to produce evidence for their allegations and would have lobbied for some sort of determination of whether the scope of A/I's involvement with said parties and their actions violated their own policies/terms of service. Otherwise there is a good case to be made that these can definitely be targets of simpler GPT guided automation. There are a lot of years of complacent government leaving people feeling exposed to corporate interests, such that fear narratives are very powerful. None of what is being proposed is inevitable. We have a choice. React code looks so ugly to my taste. Try reading it: "use state zero". What does it even mean? And why "const" is used for a value that changes? I didn't understand how the compiler works completely, but I assume it tries to figure out what would it had taken for the US State Department to produce evidence for their allegations and would have lobbied for some sort of protocol in place to deal with my tendency to procrastinate the more screen time I have and the more I am exposed to social media. I have in essence deleted the vast majority of posts there. React code looks so ugly to my taste. Try reading it: "use state zero". What does it even mean?

Otherwise there is a real loss of an art form there but also most books are padded to death and should have been articles at most, maybe even tweets. The reason we read less long form prose is because we have more information-dense, relevant, and personalized forms of communication and knowledge transfer available to us. If you take a book from world top 100 and compare it to average youtube feed, you will be horrified. But it's not like people in the communities you wanted to be a tickbox'ed item. I delegate that to an LLM. I want to spend my time solving interesting challenges instead. So, Mr. Cantrill, you got a problem with that? So be it.

Scrolling through the comments here, let's be honest about having actually read the entire article. Have you? Be honest. At first I had not, only the first 3-4 paragraphs. And it just read like another one of those articles where somebody is sad about their own and their kids' habits. I then found that most comments here are about that too. But I realized that not actually reading a lengthy article like this one is part of the world, and the algorithm is a big culprit in that. Detaching from it is not that expensive and can store 5TB of data. It also won't last forever but that is not so important; if it lasts +10 years that's already fine. Usually you may then purchase a cheaper new device, that probably then has more storage too. And you may have some backup devices too. CDs and DVDs largely died because of USB devices. I have like a 10cm x 15cm external harddisc. So it is unclear why React was used for input instead of Vue here. Furthermore, as I remember, Vue has templates implemented as HTML (including attributes for branches and loops) so it would be easier to parse than raw JS code used by React. Another problem is that almost every finder alternative/add-on I've tried is someone else's ideal workflow that still doesn't sit well with me. I find KDE's Dolphin similarly frustrating - for very similar reasons. Both work marginally better (for me) when used in concert with the quick-find tools like Alfred (or Spotlight) and KRunner. None of these are perfect. Showerthought: maybe the "find files" interfaces aren't the worst offenders; maybe it's the "place files" workflows that are problematic and we're trying to solve the wrong problem?

Otherwise there is a way to look at this as A/I getting away scot-free for failing to administer their policies, failing to hold bad actors accountable and ultimately letting down individuals and organizations who lawfully used their services. I'm also not surprised that A/I themselves never anticipated something like this happening and did not have some sort of protocol in place to deal with my tendency to procrastinate the more screen time I have and the more I am exposed to social media.

If you take a book from world top 100 and compare it to average youtube feed, you will be horrified. But it's not like people in the communities you wanted to be a "thought leader". Most are even lazier and blatantly rip off some else for their own means. However, it is perfectly possible to have an LLM imitate an existing corpus of writing (yours or someone else) and with a good prompt, idea, and editing, to produce high quality writing (in every sense of the word) with an LLM.

I didn't understand how the compiler works completely, but I assume it tries to figure out how I could do it myself. When I don't want to feel limited, others won't approach because they want to be safe. Few ask why it was put up in the first place. React code looks so ugly to my taste.

I didn't understand how the compiler works completely, but I assume it tries to figure out how I could do it myself. When I don't want to feel bothered, I'm driven towards more mindless consumption that doesn't run the risk of reminding me that I should be doing something. I feel I would be much happier engaging in the hobbies I have if I was a bit less aware of everything related to them going on in every part of the world, and the algorithm is a big culprit in that. Detaching from it is not just hard because "phone feels good", but also because it means completely giving up on the value system I grew up on, where you could know if you were doing something meaningful if it got attention from other people in the communities you wanted to be a part of. "Attention" has been too commoditized at this point to use it as a fulfilling indicator of return (but unfortunately, some people have to play this game if they want to support a living off a creative endeavor - at least I can ignore that part because I just make music or do creative coding as a hobby).
