> A user of the CRI should not have to care about this implementation detail.

This detail is implemented by K8s, not a container runtime. User has to care about the source of it due to supply chain attacks, though.

> Any CRI that needs a pause executable should come with one.

Which would introduce a simultaneous update across different projects, which is a problem harder than a line of config.

I built https://milliondollarllm.com, a pixel-style public board inspired by the old “Million Dollar Homepage,” but focused on LLM and AI projects.

The idea:

Companies can pay for space for their LLM/AI product (1 USD = 1 pixel) and get a logo + link on the public board.

Each paying “sponsor” can choose one free/open project to endorse publicly.

Free projects get a small logo and description for free, and can be highlighted via a sponsor endorsement.

The goal is to make a simple, transparent way for companies to get a bit of visibility for their LLM/AI products, and at the same time, shine some light on smaller or open projects that deserve attention.

Considering that MAME's shaders run fine on a 2011-era laptop with the positively primitive Intel iGPU of the Sandy Bridge era, I can only assume they're intending to run this on something extremely ancient that would end up being less power efficient for the task.

Even a Raspberry Pi can handle this stuff at low power consumption today.

I was lucky in that I went through my nostalgia phase when old computers were simply obsolete. That is to say, I was comparing spinning rust to spinning rust. Then modern spinning rust may have been significantly faster than obsolete spinning rust, but other factors partially compensated for the difference (such as leaner software that was written much closer to the hardware).

While I still maintain an interest in computer history, i.e. in a literary sense rather than maintaining hardware, it is from an entirely different perspective. I like thinking about how things would have been different if we, say, focused upon energy efficiency or if we minimized the number of layers of abstraction of if main memory was non-volatile. Of course these all involve trade-offs. The interesting thing is how these trade-offs would change the path of technological development.

Of course, it is entirely possible that there was only one viable path. It is nearly impossible to sell operating systems based upon technical improvements, so the emphasis is upon a bunch of end-user visible ephemeral trash. Similarly, it would have been nearly impossible to sell more energy efficient computers so the emphasis was on performance. (Even today, a laptop battery that lasts a day and a mobile phone battery that lasts two is considered good enough.) And, of course, the sale of those high performance processors financed the development of improved fabrication processes that enabled the development of even higher performance processors - and more energy efficient ones. It is unlikely that pursuing energy efficiency would have financed the development of processes to perpetuate itself.

Same goes for websites where you can watch piracy streams. "The action is the user pressing play" sounds like it might win you an internet argument, but I'm 99% sure none of the courts will play those games, you as the operator who enabled whatever the user could do ends up liable.

Not a great analogy. Blackberry was never really for mass consumers and was always business-first. They lost to Apple because Apple won the mass market, and the mass market overwhelmed the specific niche business use-case that was BB.

OpenAI is already the consumer-first AI platform. And, in my opinion, in the minds of the average consumer, the biggest one that is "an app" with memory and folders, vs. something like Gemini which is perceived as an extension of Google Search and thus doesn't have the same "knowledge database" UI.

I think you're right, also not native English speaker.

No, you're right that a German can't influence e.g. the similar lawsuit against Suno in Denmark, but as you point out, it can, and most likely will be cited, and I think it's often the case that this carries a lot of weight.

Yes yes, “tHe CeO hAs A fIduCiARy ReSpOnSiBiLiTy To ShArEHoLdErS”. We’ve all heard that bootlicker’s credo which aims to excuse any asshole from their own humanity.

> It signals various "values" when the RoI on doing so looks good

Funny you mention that. Tim Cook famously shouted “screw the bloody ROI” at one point. Using the ROI as an excuse is not a good argument.

> Whatever their marketing might say (…), that is how pretty much every giant corporation on earth works.

That is not an excuse. Just because “everybody does it”, it doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be criticised when they do it. That criticism and actions against it do bear fruit on many occasions. The attitude of shrugging one’s shoulders is what lets the world sink further into shit.

This is comical because economies have become totally divorced from hard reality and markets are now vibes-based.

Nvidia, Tesla, and Palantir (trading at 450 P/E!) are, among others, essentially meme stocks. But, for better or worse, the US economy is riding that wave.

The way to revive a moribund economy isn't to insist that markets must be rational and that hype should be tamped down. This never works, and I think that the rational market myth is dead. (You could make the case that BTC was the final nail in its coffin.) Instead, you've gotta find a way to ride the wave -- but wisely, so that you don't stand to lose too much if/when it slows or hits the breakers.

The liberals are SAYING they'll shift over to the EU and Asia. But you know what, every PM before Carney attempted to increase trade with the EU and Asia. Of course we keep trying, but to think that this trade is just waiting to happen is false. There's no probable scenario where we abandon the USA. Therefore this elbows up strategy was greatly harmful to Canada.

I've had files in Apple's iCloud for 14 years now (had to look that up) and they're still there. I have no reason to believe that they won't still be there after I am dead. Apple is a big company with a big reputation to protect.

I can't say the same for the smaller services.

I don't have any grandmothers still alive but would certainly suggest iCloud for all family members.

(But, FWIW, I copy down everything from iCloud annually and store on a portable 1TB drive to have my own cloud-backup.)

The letter is not based on science and common sense of experts.

You can read the letter here https://www.iccl.ie/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/20251110_Scie...

It doesn't make any positive claims other than a statement from a budget speech relied on marketing "driven by profit-motive and ideology" that are "manifestly bound with their financial imperatives". So exactly the same AI-skeptic line of attack that's currently being played out in forums and social media.

If you look at the signatories and randomly sample a few, it's a lot of people in social sciences, gender studies, cultural studies, branches of AI critique (e.g. AI safety), linguistics, and the occasional cognitive scientist. These aren't the people who have the technical expertise to evaluate the current state of AI, however impressive their credentials are in their own fields.

Simon Willison had an analysis of Claude's system prompt back in May. One of the things that stood out was the effort they put in to avoiding copyright infringement: https://simonwillison.net/2025/May/25/claude-4-system-prompt...

Everyone knows that these LLMs were trained on copyrighted material, and as a next-token prediction model, LLMs are strongly inclined to reproduce text they were trained on.

I wanted to cross a mountain in Uzbekistan by bike. As I found myself pushing my bike up a dry riverbed full of large stones, I thought, “Who the hell mapped this as a vehicle track on OpenStreetMap? No one could drive this”. And then I was twice passed by locals in some ancient Soviet-era vehicles that coped with the terrain just fine. I had to respect that tech, which could probably be repaired with simple tools.

Not sure what they were, though. LuAZ-1302? Liva Nivas? Simple Lada models (whether praise or mockery) are part of folklore in several countries outside the former USSR, but I feel like Soviet 4WD vehicles are talked about less internationally.

Lobbyists are how companies talk to governments. If you believe that companies create value, then you should believe that companies should communicate with governments. It can help prevent low quality regulations from being pushed through.

Of course what they say should be validated and taken with appropriate weight. Companies are usually blinkered; they know a lot about their specialist area but aren't incentivized to consider collective action problems or externalities. Something similar can be said for every political interest group. Governing effectively means balancing everyone's interests.

I'm not trying to crusade against digital boarding passes, my issue is with normalizing mandatory apps for all the things.

If we had high quality, trusted software, leveraging open standards, that would be one thing, but instead we have janky proprietary snowflake apps that are borderline malware. Like you said, it's a pandemic of cybersecurity issues, so it's hard for me to accept the 'just install the app' mentality.

I agree we should pick our battles, but I don't believe regulation is the only solution worth fighting for. My comment was to nudge cultural change, by pushing back against what I see as a bad practice.

This idea about communicating size/alignment is actually something we're doing on the port of RediSearch to Rust [0]. We have an "opaque sized type" which is declared on the Rust-side, and has its size & alignment communicated to the C-side via cbindgen. The C-side has no visibility into the fields, but it can still allocate it on the stack.

It's a bit ugly due to cbindgen not supporting const-generic expressions and macro-expansion being nightly-only. It seems like this will be a generally useful mechanism to be able to use values which are not traditionally FFI-safe across FFI boundaries.

No, because 1) you can't do (full) dependent types in TypeScript, 2) it's not clear what "dependent types" would even mean without type checking, and 3) using the union type you aren't giving up type checking at all.

The limitation is what comes later in the article - the dependent type can express the relationship between the argument and the returned type. But that's "out of scope" of the question of "typing a function that can return either a number or a string depending on the boolean argument". It only becomes a problem later on because to use the result you need to test the type (using `typeof`) even if you know you which boolean you passed in; that information doesn't end up tracked by the type system - although there actually are a couple of different ways to do this that satisfy this example in TypeScript, as suggested by some other comments.

Just using a union type in TypeScript isn't dissimilar to my suggestion of wrapping the result in an ADT; it's just that TypeScript makes this lightweight.

> When you want to embed a type, you need its definition, but you don’t actually need the full definition. You just need the size/alignment.

Aren't there ABI cases where e.g.

struct foo { float X, Y; }

would be passed in e.g. fp registers whereas

struct { char[8]; }

would not?

Another instance of GEMA fighting an american company. Anyone who was on the german internet in the first half of the last decade remembers the "not available in your country" error messages on youtube because Google didn't make a deal with GEMA.

I don't think that we will end up here with such a scenario: lyrics are pervasive and probably also quoted in a lot of other publications. Furthermore, it's not just about lyrics but one can make a similar argument about any published literary work. GEMA is for music but for literary publications there is VG Wort who in fact already have an AI license.

I rather think that OpenAI will license the works from GEMA instead. Ultimately this will be beneficial for the likes of OpenAI because it can serve as a means to keep out the small players. I'm sure that GEMA won't talk to the smaller startups in the field about licensing.

Is this good for the average musician/author? these organizations will probably distribute most of the money to the most popular ones, even though AI models benefit from quantity of content instead of popularity.

I'm not a fan of her either, but what do you actually expect?

Politicians are not generally domain specialists anywhere, their purpose is to make decisions and serve as a pretty face for some more or less coherent policy.

Lobbyism is very easy to complain about and can easily devolve into corruption, but it has a very clear purpose: To prevent policymakers from writing regulations that harm the affected industries without gain. This is especially necessary at the EU level, because the main purpose of that whole organisation is to lower trade barriers and regulatory friction-- lobbyists are somewhat helpful and necessary in that.

I dont agree with this at all. Look at other small countries with big production outputs like Japan. This is possible due to an incredibly high work ethic and skilled workforce. They still have the ruling class, and the big fat cat bosses that own all the companies. But the willingness of the population to work extraordinary hours with incredible precision is what makes it possible.

The UK population are lazy, and have been constantly told that manual labour is degrading and low class work. Nobody in the UK takes pride in any manufacturing work.Its nothing to do with a 'ruling class' conspiracy.

> Ursula is basically a lobbyist without much expertise in anything.

She doesn't need to have any expertise, nobody can have deep expertise on everything. It's basically a politician job to have no clue and find reliable sources for an educated decision. And this usually fails hard on bleeding edge topics, because not many have an educated opinion at that point.

But as a side note, she did study something medical, so she does have some deeper expertise outside the political area.

> I think the whole EU should be reformed.

No reform can fix this problem. And always calling for reforms because of some detail not working how you want it is harmful.

Sorry, you're going to have to prove that.

Companies are made up of people, and it's completely reasonable to assume that if people were allowed to have a voice within government, then they could also speak on behalf of their own interests, which will often coincide with that of the companies that they're involved with.

There's no reason to consider companies a separate entity that has its own power to communicate and many reasons not to do that.

What if, instead of fighting the symptom of people writing faulty, exploitable software, by explaining to them that Rust (as a stand in) is good, we try to fix the cause?

Imagine if for every data breach, every ransomware attack, every intrusion which used privilege escalation etc. there would be an investigation if the company in question is at fault for using insecure software (i.e. written in unsafe languages and not properly vetted). And if the company is found guilty, it is punished accordingly, so that every company is motivated to prevent such cases.

Of course people can still write C / C++ programs as a hobby or publish their software with open source licenses. But the people or organizations using that software must make sure (within reason) that it is safe or they are held liable if it inflicts damage. It would automatically make software written in safe languages much more attractive to them, because safety is much easier to prove – no evangelist needed.

LLM/"AI" tools _will_ continue to revolutionize a lot of fields and make tons of glorified paper pushers jobless.

But they're not much closer to actual intelligence than they were 10 years ago, singluarity level upheavals that OpenAI,et al are valued on are still far away and people are beginning to notice.

Isn't that example the exact opposite of mixing content and presentation? The * notation applies the strong [emphasis] tag, the show rule (re-)defines the presentation. Ideally you would of course separate the two into separate files (template + content).

In my time using Typst, I found that Typst makes it possible/easy to make content even more abstract: write the content as a "data structure" and then present parts of it in various places around your document. For instance to list quantity/weight of a parts description in a parts index at the end.

I decided to put this to the test.

What I would expect a human to reply:

"Um... OK?"

What Claude Sonnet 4.5 replied:

"Hi there! I understand you're planning to repeat the same sentence. I'm here whenever you'd like to have a conversation about something else or if you change your mind. Feel free to share whatever's on your mind!"

I don't think I've ever imagined a human saying "I understand you're planning to repeat the same sentence", if you thought this was some kind of killer rebuke, I don't think it worked out the way you imagined- do you actually think that's a human-sounding response? To me it's got that same telltale sycophancy of a robot butler that I've come to expect from these consumer grade LLMs.
