    No, it sounds like mythos is just doing parallel trajectories. that's pretty distinct!

    > Isolated the relevant code I mean isn't that most of it? If you put a snippet of code in front of me and said "there's probably a vulnerability here" I could probably spend a few…

    fun fact kropotkin's entire thesis was "yeah so this is wrong social darwinism is always motivated reasoning" and you can see it in your thing! Environmentalism is good because it …

    What would Trump have to do for you to not give him the benefit of the doubt from that point forward?

    Well yeah social trust is worse in autocracies, you'd imagine that corruption would be lower on the list of problems you perceive having when 1) you don't have a good press to repo…

    The answer to this is just changing the law as enforcement becomes different, instead of leaning on the rule of a few people to determine what the appropriate level of enforcement …

    Because noncitizens can be motivated or not and / or resign and, frankly, there isn't that deep of a well of top tier AI talent. The threat of mass resignations led to OAI re-hirin…

    I'm sorry I read this a lot and this is kind of an insane thing to say? Classified OLC memos giving legal cover to any military action has been a fixture for the last over twenty y…

    Then you would get zero H1B and, frankly, green card signatures. There is real risk and real dependents at stake, I understand people who can't in good conscience put that at risk.…

    iirc you can't do this for extensions which being a huge amount of compiler constraint resolution time

    Comment #46857734

    As your app scales, you're going to want to break out different parts into their own packages in order to keep compile times in check, so you're gonna be forced to go through SPM u…

    You can't really easily use explicit types in much of idiomatic SwiftUI. The expression that the compiler is trying to solve is really complicated, I agree, but the solution to tha…

    Hijacking your comment because this is a common point that's made on the superiority of Swift syntax against the union syntax. At least with |, you're attempting to model the state…

    Comment #46844390

    If you look at most swiftui views, there will be a mass of optionals, rather than enum cases for every possible state that the view can occupy and a state machine transitioning bet…

    Comment #46844357

    Xcode (and as of a couple years ago the vscode spm integration) tends to have difficulty when scaling this solution. Being explicit with types is very disruptive when used in Swift…

    Comment #46841793

    Adding on, its also a bit much to say that Swift has a good level of sugar and reference an enum of all things. Swift's union type story is so poor that, instead of properly modeli…

    You can develop Swift without it. I assume you mean SwiftUI / apple's sdk, which is what most people assume (a note, I'd say, to advocates of Swift who wish not to address SwiftUI:…

    Broadly agree but, as is most things, the devil is in the details! - Xcode. A really rough ide that has a hard time at scale, choking on package refreshes, many targets, and more. …
