Temporal is the language's attempt to fix the issues, instead of relying on 3rd party tools. The current situation forces developers to either choose something supported by the language, which has certain guarantees for backwards compatibility but is awful, and a 3rd party tool, which does not and is not as bad. It seems like the logical resolution is for the language to step up its game, since 3rd party tools have no obligation to be maintained or backwards compatible, or even to remain popular.

Inspired by Apples Liquid Glass I decided to make my own version called clear glass. AI needs a UI/UX and I believe that, Instead of building the in an app, the app should leave on top of any app as a transparent window.

So What Does It Do? -Clear chat that leaves on top of any desktop app and know what you are doing -LLM's Like use open source ai models like llama, mistral -Sees your screen as you work and hears your audio/meetings. -Undetectable on Zoom, Google Meet and Teams for personalisation/Note taking -Can ask from the cursor point while you work. -Resizable Transparent chat.

Future additions. Document your projects as you work. Control you computer to configure repetitive tasks. *Talk with your Documents

You've completely disregarded type system rules of the language, and continue doubling down on your ignorance with ridiculous examples.

> They're not the same kind of thing at all, if you insist that we should be able to compare them then they're not equal, and since programmers are human and make mistakes probably comparing them is itself a mistake.

It is literally encoded in the spec.

Lots of devs complaining about code quality and understandability here.

I'm going to skip the obvious answer about how LLMs can actually improve code quality and reviewability and focus on a different argument: why engineers even care about code quality.

Most code is not written as a work of art but as an important functional piece to achieve return on capital. Programmers get paid by companies to produce code. The payment ultimately is driven by expectation of a return on investment of the code. Ultimately business owners and owners do not really care about code quality as long as it can deliver on return on capital. There are plenty of profitable businesses run on spaghetti code and old technology. However, engineers realized that bad code resulted in costly downstream consequences including consequences that affected ROI. Tech debt had to be paid not just in developer hours but also dollars and cents. Thus this obsession with code quality, code reviews, and this current debate.

Many including Andrew Ng at YC startup school recently are realizing that writing bad code is now a two way door instead of the one way door that it used to be. With LLMs you can deploy some bad code, realize it's bad, and rewrite that entire codebase tomorrow with near negligible cost. The fact that LLM can write some very very bad code is less important than the return on invested capital of that code especially when taking into account the speed at which that code can be fixed / completely re-written in the future, and especially when that in that future, LLMs will be even more capable than it is now.

Here's my advice: give in the shitty code and merge it. Claude 6 will refactor all of it to your liking very soon.

I feel like the more we rely on AI, the stupider we as a whole in society becomes. There no longer is this sense of accomplishment of actually doing the work yourself, so you rely on an AI that just spits out the answer. No more digging around the web for a solution, google AI has got you. The old days of learning how to go to the library to get an encyclopedia to do a homework research article is over, there is something about the effort that goes into solving a solution more so than the solution itself, ergo the journey not the destination

For those that love the idea of this kind of child-friendly media consumption but maybe don’t have the time, consider Yoto. You can make your own cards that can contain one track or playlists of mp3s that you drag and drop onto a web interface. The yoto then downloads and stores those files, playing them whenever that card is inserted. You can also use the ipad app to browse and play the same content.

It'll be significantly cheaper, and assuming you purchase the Ketamine from a reputable source/vendor and use a test kit on it, the risk is comparatively "minimal".

Not necessarily "condoning" the behavior, so much as sharing harm-minimization info here:

For safe/sterile injection, you need three things, all cheaply + easily available on the internet.

1) Bacteriostatic water - https://www.amazon.com/bacteriostatic-water/s?k=bacteriostat...

2) Sealed, sterile vials for preparation of the solution - https://www.amazon.com/Sterile-Vial/s?k=Sterile+Vial

3) Insulin syringes. 29g 0.5" work well. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=29g+1cc+1%2F2+inch+insulin+syring...

> In this case, they have anonymous stats that they share with others and that, in some jurisdictions, could fall under 'selling user data'

Correction, they said personal data, which if you go by the EU's definition means "any information that relates to an identified or identifiable living individual".

Which wouldn't be "anonymous stats", and can you give an example of a jurisdiction where sharing "anonymous stats" would go under selling personal data?

And is "doesn't sell your data to advertisers" also too broad? Because they removed that part too.

1. Totally agree that the field of software metrics is dominated by clueless or outright bad actors. I can say with complete certainty that I do not know the right way to measure software quality. All I know is that quality is handled as a metric in most hardware companies, not an abstract concept. When it’s talked about as such an ephemeral thing by software people, it strikes me as a bit disconnected to reality. (If I was going to try, I’d probably shoot for bugs per release version, or time from first spec to feature release.)

2. With respect: that’s a bit of an exceptionalist mindset. There’s nothing precious about software’s value to a business. It’s a vehicle to make money. That’s not to say craft isn’t important - it is, and it has tangible impacts to work. The point I’m making is that: my boss would laugh me out of the room if I told him “You can’t measure the quality of my electronics designs or my delivery process; it’s art.”

3. I’ve never heard of FPS but I’m very interested in learning more. Thanks for sharing the link.

Edit: oh ok duh yeah of course you could measure the frame rate of your graphics stack and get a metric for code quality. D’oh. Whoops. XD

IMO the split is between people understanding the heuristic nature of AI and people who dont and thus think of it as an all-knowing, all-solving oracle. Your elder parents having nice conversations with chatgpt is nice aslong it doesnt make big life changing decisions for them, which happens already today.

You have to know the tools limits and usecases.

I can't say I am tempted. When I played a game on an M1 Air, the underside became unbearably/worryingly hot anyway. I accept it's not for sustained load.

I still have pads left over from trying my damnedest to reduce fan noise on a Dell XPS. Used pads on every hot stop and didn't help.

Based on articles and videos by people who are pilots (or experts), crew attention already a badly overstretched resource in the cockpit. You'd be forcing the other pilot - who may be busy talking to ATC while working a major checklist and looking at thunderstorms on weather radar and more - to mentally jump out of all that and help adjust some "sensitive" controls.

In an airplane, there are a lot of "sensitive" controls.

I'd bet that such a change would cause more disasters than it prevented.

Sounds like dumping the routing information from programming questions would answer that... I guess I can do a dump from qwen or deepseek locally. You'd think someone would created that kind of graph already, but I couldn't find one.

What I did find instead is that some MoE models are explicitly domain-routed (MoDEM), but it doesn't apply to deepseek which is just equally load balanced, so it's unlikely to apply to Kimi. On the other hand, https://arxiv.org/html/2505.21079v1 shows modality preferences between experts, even in mostly random training. So maybe there's something there.

> TL;DR: a few days/weeks of lightweight entertainment for you does real damage to the places you visit.

That's a bizarre take. Beyond bad, just plain weird.

> It's not a high bar. Visiting friends or doing a specific activity (rock climbing! diving! fishing! sports! cooking! meditation retreat! make art! take a class! gain a skill!) would be a perfectly ethical reason to travel somewhere, in my humble opinion

That's an extremely high bar for most of us, and that you don't see it is hilarious.

Nothing is more artificial and touristy than a "retreat" or going someplace to scuba dive, but somehow you're placing these arbitrary definitions on what is more or less ethical.

All of those "ethical" activities are extremely artificial and damaging, it's absurd thinking going abroad to do "art" or "rock climbing" is more authentic and not artificial and damaging. Unless you know someone local who can take you somewhere non commercial (which is an extremely high bar, unless you have friends all over the world) all those activities are as much Disneyland as taking photos of the Eiffel tower, I'm sorry to tell you.

Visiting friends doesn't mean you won't go sightseeing, what does one thing have to do with the other? And what if you don't have friends all over the world?

> Having the luxury to travel is a "first-world entitlement." It isn't entitlement to say that you should strive to be more thoughtful about the costs.

What you're saying amounts to gatekeeping, which is even more entitled. "If you cannot travel like the entitled few can, in the extremely narrow way I deem ethical, then don't travel at all."

Also, I don't know if you understand everything you say applies to doing tourism within your own country as well. So your advice effectively becomes "do rock climbing (and hope your children and spouse want to do that) or stay at home". Your world shrinks because you cannot do "ethical tourism" according to some absurd definition.

Yuck.

> which if you go by the EU's definition

Why go by EU's definition when it's used globally? If it was a single location, or a single law like GDPR, that'd be easy to reword.

From the page they launched, https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/privacy/faq/

> It seems like every company on the web is buying and selling my data. You’re probably no different.

> Mozilla doesn’t sell data about you (in the way that most people think about “selling data“), and we don’t buy data about you. Since we strive for transparency, and the LEGAL definition of “sale of data“ is extremely broad in some places, we’ve had to step back from making the definitive statements you know and love. We still put a lot of work into making sure that the data that we share with our partners (which we need to do to make Firefox commercially viable) is stripped of any identifying information, or shared only in the aggregate, or is put through our privacy preserving technologies (like OHTTP).

Specifically,

> Since we strive for transparency, and the LEGAL definition of “sale of data“ is extremely broad in some places, we’ve had to step back from making the definitive statements you know and love.

If you consider GDPR, even the suggestions on the new tab could send data to third parties and wouldn't be okay with this.

Any request done to a third party server, would send them your IP which is PII under GDPR.

In his recent talk Andre Ng said the following:

> I don't see product management work becoming faster at the same speed as engineering. I'm seeing this ratio shift.

> Just yesterday, one of my teams came to me, and for the first time, when we're planning headcount for a project, this team proposed to me not to have 1:4 PM/engineers, but to have 1:0.5 PM/engineers.

> I still don't know if this is a good idea, but for the first time in my life, managers are proposing having twice as many PMs as engineers.

> I think it's a sign of where the world is going

are you seeing the trend going in this direction?

Nothing about resource (net, io, disk, cpu) isolation, limits, priorities, or guarantees. Not the same as a type 1 hypervisor. These qualities are needed to run things safely and predictably in the real world™, at scale. Also, accounting and multitenancy if it's going to be used as some sort VAR or VPS offering.

Isn't the distinction based on whether the substance directly cause a wage gap and/or significant life expectancy loss? Someone on meth all the time can literally fatigue-free until there is no brain matter left, but someone on coffee or beer can not.

It is often argued that some of generally illegal substances like marijuana is only toxic to comparable extents as legal substances, but there are observations that it seem to trigger some types of megalomaniac schizophrenia, so the fence probably has reasons to be there, I think.

Just yesterday I had to edit something on an iPhone. I finally managed to put the cursor at the front to add a word before what was there already. But when I started typing, auto correct (or whatever) put the cursor back at the end of the word. I ended up just removing everything and typing from scratch because figuring out Apple logic behind such a behavior just wasn't on the agenda.

Musk has started shifting value among his companies to "optimize" his finances. The first move was to merge X with XAI. I bet his loans with Morgan Stanley got restructured as part of the $10 billion XAI round Morgan Stanley led. Which also explains why Morgan Stanley didn't squawk when the round was announced the same week that Grok decided to call itself Mecha Hitler and go on an alarming rant about people with certain surnames.

Now he's putting Grok in Tesla cars, creating licensing and other revenue streams from a publicly traded company to XAI, where he owns a much higher percentage of the shares.

I very much doubt that the US would allow EU institution to break up the US tech companies as they see fit. So this is not a viable approach (even if it would work).

The approach would be to gradually limit EU market access till there are other alternatives. This has worked for e.g. China.

The German defense force uses Google cloud instances for their "sovereign cloud". I very much doubt that if there were a German Hyper-scaler that it would have similar market access to contracts such as JEDI. Having a buy European requirement there is pretty much a no-brainer IMO.

It's amazing what people achieved with the resources of the '80s, creating fairly enjoyable visuals using extremely limited technology.

This isn’t true. This was a 787. It does not use a separate recorder for voice and data (CVR, FDR).

(Most media outlets also got this wrong and were slow to make corrections. )

Rather, it uses a EAFR (Enhanced airborne flight recorder) which basically combines the functions. They’re also more advanced than older systems and can record for longer. The 787 has two of them - the forward one has its own power supply too.

There should be video as well, but I’m not sure what was recovered. Not necessarily part of the flight data recording, but there are other video systems.

That's the hard part, you got that.

If you're a staunch liberal or conservative and there's strong information flow where the authors are aligned with your own tendencies or talking points you have adopted, it seems almost frictionlessly neutral. Compared to info biased the other way where you notice quite fast and think "hey this isn't a neutral account" and quit listening right there.

It's even worse because it make actual neutral good-faith communication more difficult to recognize :\

Your excellent comments make me grateful that I am retired and just work part time on my own research and learning. I believe you when you say professional developers will need large inference compute budgets.

Probably because I am an old man, but I don’t personally vibe with full time AI assistant use, rather I will use the best models available for brief periods on specific problems.

Ironically, when I do use the best models available to me it is almost always to work on making weaker and smaller models running on Ollama more effective for my interests.

BTW, I have used neural network tech in production since 1985, and I am thrilled by the rate of progress, but worry about such externalities as energy use, environmental factors, and hurting the job market for many young people.

>> you can only do so much

> There’s no value

That's not a reasonable interpretation. But even so, your example's a good one:

100w bulb lasts hundreds of hours 5w led puts out comparable light with 20x less energy AND lasts tens of thousands of hours

The led is a little more intensive to make, but let's just assume it's less intensive than all the bulbs you'd need to make to burn for the same time (i'm not sure if it's true though).

Seems a slam dunk in the LED's favour right?

But it's still the same problem, you fall out of intensive growth and back to extensive growth as soon as you want more lighting. So are we saying there's a bar on how many lights we should ever want on the planet?

Respectfully, it's not up to other people to disprove your toy theory. The question you're asking here can very easily be answered with a quick Google search.

The short answer is that they are _very_ different controls, that looks and operate in a completely different way, located in a different place, and it's completely unrealistic to think a pilot could have mistaken one for the other.

not sure if it the feedback u want but: on the landing page there are multiple spelling issues. the main first "AI Marketing video drive Business Success at Converters.pro" seems already unclear.

is converters.pro having their business success driven by marketing AI? (if so, ensure theres alteast no spelling mistakes?)

i know you might be non native english but your own AI tools might help u with this issue???

Also theres like a part with 8 pictures of humans under the upload image as examples. 7 are the same asian woman and then 1 guy. maybe make it a more diverse lineup. this seems a bit important especially around genAI.

technically i got no feedback, id say its likely a competitive market and you want to get all the tiny details, especially in your own marketing, to shine and be polished.

> it's about maintaining the 50hz frequency to a 0.002% accuracy (yes really)

That doesn't sound right to me. In the UK the legal requirement is to be within 1% so between 49.5 to 50.5 Hz.

In operation they aim for tighter than that at +/- 0.2 Hz, so 49.8 to 50.2 Hz, or 0.4%.

I can believe that other countries might have tighter limits but not that much!

Fine in isolation. Now consider that we continually invent new things, new things that don't always perfectly eliminate the need for the old thing.

Now we're just making more stuff, at some point you make so much more stuff that you overwhelm the benefits of reduced inputs to make each thing.

One of those curves has a finite limit (you can't input less than zero stuff to make a thing). The other is unbounded, i desire more stuff.
by msgodel | 2025-07-12 13:03:50+00:00
If anything it's really going the other way. Free stuff keeps catching up with the most expensive pay-for stuff from a year or two ago. If I lost access to all the hosted AI today I don't think I'd really feel like I'm missing out.

I'd also disagree Linux is the top notch kernel. It might be the most universal one because of drivers and licensing and that makes it my personal favorite because it "just works" with pretty much no fuss (technical or social) but there are a number of kernels out there with better features.

The reason you will basically never just recommend e.g. somebody use a completely nonexistent function is because you're not just guessing what the answer to something should be. Rather you have a knowledge base which you believe to be correct and are constantly evolving and drawing from it.

LLMs do not function like this at all. Rather all they have is a series of weights to help predict the next token given the prior tokens. Cascading errors is a lot like a math problem. If you make a mistake somewhere along when solving a lengthy problem then your further calculations will also continue to be more and more wrong. The same is true of an LLM when executing its prediction algorithm.

This is why an LLM does give you a wrong answer it's usually just an exercise in frustration trying to get it to correct itself, and you'd be better of just creating a completely new context.

Or they complain that they know everything has gone to hell but if they blow the whistle revenge will be taken against them.

Everybody who worked with the 2005 Toyota Camry ETCS would have known what was up when it killed a few people, for example. Nobody can work on spaghetti code of that magnitude and not realize that something is off.

Boeing employees who tried to blow the whistle were similarly ignored or silenced while a few died in mysterious circumstances.
