A LoC based valuation probably assume humans writing code and therefor work-hour costs, I'd bet it no longer applies to generated LoCs.

But even in this example, the 2ms vs 0.2 is irrelevant - its whatever the timings are for TB-size objects.

So went not compare that case directly? We'd also want to see the performance of the assumed overheads i.e. how it scales.


> The goal should be to not affect people's level of dark adaptation.

Wouldn't that be red light? But night scenes illuminated in red light have the side effect of looking nightmarish..


Red light would be even better for affecting the dark adaptation, but it has other disadvantages, like much worse energetic efficiency and lower visual resolution.

Yellow light a.k.a. amber light around the sodium emission line is a good compromise between energy efficiency, visual resolution and dark adaptation.


That's not necessarily a downside for traffic safety, though. Though I imagine someone must have studied the effects of various wavelengths on drivers...

Advertisers definitely did - there's (some) money in billboards, but only as long as you don't kill your prospective customers.

How does someone with a mere $10 stake have the opportunity to contribute to the cause of a $10mil disaster?

Realistically, they'd have to be far more connected to the event, and as such, far more exposed to some kind of risk.


Pessimistically, i imagine that's what they meant by "enormous asymmetry between the cost to create/build and the cost to destroy". Like its a lot easier to destroy an art piece in a museum than to create one.

That simply describes entropy. I don't know what the example of someone putting a wager on an event represents.

> made it clear that anyone who has worked on these products should not be hired

As in, even a dev, HR, etc person having worked for an online gambling company? I feel this may be a slippery slope..


Don't forget the janitors. They're all accomplices of the peddlers of misery.

Everything is a slippery slope to somewhere. That doesn't mean you can't draw lines.

Doesn't mean it is wise to do so either. I promise you, 5 lines of your political beliefs and I can make you look like a hypocritical and ignorant a55hole to the world. And I can do so purely with data and various ethical guidelines.

I doubt you have though through most of your "beliefs" or learned of the policy consequences of many of your political positions. If you had, you wouldn't be such an absolutist. You still think you should be judge, jury and executioner over others? What are you, 6?

PS Your type of absolutist moralism has been the basis for most of humanities worst atrocities, stop it...you aren't more moral than other people.


I have no idea who you think you're responding to, but it's not me. Also, your angry tone won't convince anyone.

ok, what's buying milk at a corner shop a slippery slope to?

The extermination and/or enslavement of all mammals.

Oh, so the slope doesn't need to be plausible?

Prediction markets are far, far more slippery. Anyone working at one of these places had other options & chose to sell their morals so I think it's perfectly reasonable to not hire them.

Presumably you include anyone who worked at any FANG, or Chic-Fila, or Elon-attached corp etc etc?

Actions have consequences. You can justify your actions however you want, and I can judge you for them.

I'm not sure what this moralising adds to this conversation, I was talking about hiring practises.

Wdym by "it does something interesting with Claude code I can't do programmatically"?

I'm guessing it's not a hard coded function, the button invokes. Instead it spawns a claude code session with perhaps some oredefined prompts, maybe attaches logs, and let's claude code "go wild". In that sense the button's effect wouldn't be programmatical, it would be nondeterministic.

Not OP, just guessing.


It means he has a girlfriend. And she goes to a different school. In Canada. You've never heard of it.

Perfect analogy actually

I have had the thought to write little "programs" in text or markdown for things which would just a chore to maintain as a traditional program. (I guess we call them "skills" now?) Think scraping a page which might change its output a bit every so often. It the volume or cadence is low, it may not be worth it to create a real program to do it.

What would you prefer to use?

Just about anything, as long as it's statically typed.

The domain I work in is basically perfect for Go, so I've been pushing for that.


> The whole point of being an ethical vegan/vegetarian is to not consume animals

You can agree with this sentiment (ideology?) and not be vegan, if you aren't willing to give up meat. giving up meat is what defines this demographic.

Relative to a population of people willing to give up meat, would you assume there is no difference in "liking how plants taste" versus the general population? I'd assume it correlates directly with "willingness to give up meat".

> Health conscious folks would definitely choose these over hamburgers.

Maybe, but in context its a false dichotomy, why wouldn't they pick better substitutes e.g. non-average meat?


> We built objects with identity and state because that’s how we experience reality

I mean, we called them objects, but coupling related state (and functions) together seem an objectively (object-ively) way to group data, it's literally just dict-based organisation.


Even if the id was correct, why would they leave her in jail for 5 months before the first interview and/or court appearance?
