I think it would've been sufficient to namespace package names, something like `dtolnay::syn = "1"` (this is terrible syntax, just an example). Perhaps also allow Cargo to be configured to fail if any of the packages were outside of an allowlist of trusted namespaces. I think this is a good compromise between allowing people to experiment quickly and allowing established projects to lock themselves down.

> People who accept an obviously fake printed copy of a banknote basically deserve it

This is easy to say from a position of privilege, but the people trying to pass fake banknotes will just find weak targets. In hurried situations, in the dark, to the elderly, disabled, preoccupied, etc.
Or even worse, "it's a sure-fire one way trip to an early grave via hell. Winners don't do drugs. Just say no." It hasn't gone away, people continue to go to jail because of this belief.

Beyond that when the idiocy of such claims are laid bare and it is evident that it was an insane, designed to scare, mountain of evidence-free lies "for the greater good - if we save even one child...", people stop believing what is said by "authority" on a kind of wholesale basis. Can you blame them? "Weed is a healthfood" isn't really much worse than the just say no truth disaster. People made money out of both sets of lies as well.

The pandemic really laid it in stark relief the amount of "authority propagated claims" that were actually wholly evidence-free and the lack of critical assessment of evidence by such authority (remember the "masks don't work, can't be transmitted through the air" line sprouted by people in white coats with PhD after their name claiming "the science"? Be they WHO, Fauci, NHS and all the rest of them?) We all actually had to go and do all that assessment of evidence and probability for ourselves because the authority was both lying and incompetent. No doubt many of us got our assessment "wrong" in avoidable ways if the highly trained had not also decided to "lie for the greater good" and merely stated what was known with the appropriate estimate of its certainty. [1]

It's always a mistake to knowingly tell lies leaning on the podium of authority, the interest always comes due and the rate is more than just unreasonably steep.

How bad is this one going to be? The incarceration level is bad enough by itself.

"What's the evidence for that?" When this provokes anger rather than being directed to published results, it's time to be /very/ suspicious. There hasn't ever been a reckoning for those who claimed authority to repeat lies, demanding their resignation at the minimum seems appropriate.

Decades of trained and qualified anointed robe wearing doctors and scientific researchers believing and repeating something in a textbook, copied from another textbook which got it from a grandparent textbook and never actually asked "what is the evidence in support of that? Where are the studies and replications?" It's really sobering. Do you think the places where you go indoors have updated their airflow accordingly yet? Do we have government minimum standards in building codes yet or even "in the pipeline?" Will you believe "authority" next crisis?

There are a bunch of reasons why this is more of an issue in JavaScript than it is or would be in most languages. The early incarnations of the language practically leaned into bad parsing logic and it's permanently stuck with them now.

But in particular any strongly typed language is gonna need some really convoluted code to produce similar ambiguities that actually make it to linking.

The logs for the app (logs tab) state it's just repeatedly using the number 42 as a seed. But yes in the UI the results are different each run, even with an unchanged prompt. Didn't quite parse your last but if you're saying it's misleading, yeah kind of, because you can't share or save a prompt to redo the same result.

Chaos has a cost too. You need to weigh that against the cost of testing. And both chaos and testing cost exist on a very broad continuum. For very trivial prototypes, spending even a few hours on tests obviously outweighs any benefits. And 100% unit testing coverage never pays off even on larger projects. However a few hours of setting up CI/CD with linting, type checking, required reviews, automated deployments, and yes some sanity checking integration tests, can provide massive velocity benefits that pay back the investment in a few days and are pure velocity windfall thereafter.

I think you (a) have been burned (and I'm not denying testing can be a waste of time) and (b) not being a dev yourself you don't fully understand that this isn't a black and white issue or that you are actually paying a massive velocity cost by doing zero testing. Your POV is akin to advising people to not drink water on a hot, strenuous hike because "every time you lift your arm to drink, you are wasting energy that could go to your legs". Uh yeah, in both cases it's a little more complicated than that. Definitely don't waste an hour making a gourmet meal (and yes I get sometimes devs do this), but there are a spectrum of options and there is a sweet spot. How about "drink some gatorade and eat a power bar without slowing down"? Getting that balance right isn't trivial but it is possible and the payoff is huge. Which goes to the other point you made about not hiring expert devs, man, you've been hiring the wrong experts if you think fresh, unsupervised bootcampers are a better choice at any stage other than "can you make me a framer prototype over the weekend?".

Cool. Always great to hear what people tried to do with these intercoms. I played with Arduino myself a lot for similar reasons. Thanks for sharing.

It’s simple actually. We program all the units to call our cloud phone numbers. These numbers are shared among all US customers, so service is cheap to run. Also we got a patent in how we process these calls.

We then process, record, forward, these calls to their destinations. And also we send text message updates for certain events.

Your spreadsheets aren't in numbers.app or excel.exe. They're spreadsheets, and get opened in, guess what, the spreadsheets app. It shouldn't matter to the end user what's behind the spreadsheets app.

I don't think the undergrad math and statistics are really the problem. I think even if people understood the math, there would be some who questioned whether there's something epiphenomenon arising from the math, because there are more fundamental issues. Students in philosophy of mind classes were confronting these issues long before the DL boom started, with the Chinese Room argument. I.e. even if we accept as premise that there's a pre-described and deterministic set of steps that gives rise to seemingly intelligent behavior, we can be divided over what properties to ascribe to that system. Does it "understand"? Is it "thinking"? Is it a "person"? Why?

- we've never settled on a definition of consciousness

- we don't understand how biological brains create qualia

- we're not entirely in agreement over when human biological brains stop having ethical standing

- we disagree about how necessary embodiment or the material world outside the brain is to "mind"

- we disagree on what ethical standing to give to non-human animals with biological brains

Because we know so little, perhaps the only people that can believe strongly that current ML models are conscious have embraced panpsychism. But also because we know so little, including _what consciousness is_, I also don't think one can be confident that no ML model today has any consciousness whatsoever.

Recently I was re-reading some Douglas Hofstadter and in Metamagical Themas he has a dialogue about the "Careenium" in which on different (time)scales a physical system of balls and barriers appears to have qualitatively different kinds of dynamics. Hofstadter earnestly wants to use this to explain how "I" can direct or constrain in a top-down way some of the physical mechanisms that make me up while at the same time in a bottom-up way they comprise and animate me. I don't know if it was intentional, but it seems awfully similar to a beer-can apparatus that Searle somewhat dismissively uses as example of a potential computing substrate which could surely never support a "mind" no matter how it is programmed.

Two academics, both well respected, both who spent decades thinking about the mind and how it comes to be and how we should think about it, and both used an inscrutable complex physical (non-biological) apparatus to make points which are diametrically opposed about how the mind arises from more or less specific physical conditions.

I have in mind a property fwomp which I can't clearly define. But I have fwomp, and I'm pretty sure you have fwomp.

I have worked for a lot of startups, and the best ones have deployed as often as possible. One company (which grew massively and is now public) allowed developers to push code whenever they wanted. Once your code was merged into master and the required tests had passed, you could push to staging and then production whenever you wanted. However, you were responsible for making sure that your push didn't break anything. Developers took a lot of responsibility, and when something broke, the last guy who pushed usually fixed it really fast (and if not someone else did). Releases went out several times a day.

At my current job (fast-growing mid-stage startup), any developer can push when they want, but it works a bit differently. Once the release is staged, everyone who has a commit on staging is responsible for verifying their feature. Then the developer goes through a "release checklist," which involves finding a buddy and jointly running through a list of manual tests to validate key features. After that, they can push. They probably push a few times a week.

I feel like code freeze/manual QA/weekly push is something of an anti-pattern. Developers are disconnected from the process of releasing their code, and take less ownership. While in practice manual QA should lead to finding more bugs, in practice it can lead to more defects.

Yes it's confusing and running on WSL isn't really the same as running on Windows.

I've just tried it, and it's early days- there are hundreds of thousands of edge cases to consider just to get it really "working" on linux, so it's no easy task. On the other hand , implementing a posix compatibility layer for Windows for just the things you need to support in the browser is relatively easy.

As a rust noob, I gotta say the biggest thing for me for entering the language is how strange the module system works. I still don't fully understand how importing a module works nor defining one.

It doesn't work like many other languages I'm used to.
Shazam is still available on Android and Apple announced that WeatherKit will be available for Android.

But more to the point, Android is backed by Google - a company with a 1T+ market cap. If Google can’t keep up with Apple, it’s not because of lack resources. It’s because Google has the attention span of crack addled flea.
ratio controller example is like pump at 100% when tank at 90%, 0% when 70% and interpolated inbetween

pump % = (level% - 70) * 5

limited between 0 and 100

so fuller the tank, harder the pump works, in steady state an equilibrium point will be reached somewhere in the range relative to inflow vs outflow rates.

It gives less surging downstream, at the cost of a known setpoint, just has a working range.

It might have marginally have less capacity compared ti PID, as the pump wont jump up to 100% immediately a surge comes thru at all levels, but that also depends on PID loop tuning.

In some ways it’s just a coincidence that those prompts do something. You can use names of artists that don’t exist and those work just as well, once you’ve figured out what they mean.

Also, even if the model didn’t come with knowledge of an existing artist someone could fine-tune it in, and it’s possible the model can learn about your art style without seeing any of your images anyway.
It's a bit strange in a programming tool, though, given that programmers are used to case being important, and virtually all other similar tools order capitals first.

This is an example the test/hash antipattern. Here, the tests approach a hash of the source code. When some code changes, the hash no longer matches which fails the test. Great, this is letting us know that something as changed. After examining the changes and decide that they are correct, we update the hash and now the all the tests are green again. Our code base has 100% coverage.

> Your job is to be (continuously) profitable. In a way that upper management can see.

This is incorrect. Unless upper management is writing your reviews or you are extremely exceptional so you stand out, this is terrible advice. This is even worse if you’re ignoring your own manager’s requests in an attempt to do what you think “is right for the company”.

> you aren't profitable, you're going to be let go as soon as a recession rolls around

Not how it works at medium to large companies. When things aren’t profitable, they rank employees by ratings and then cut the bottom X%. When it comes to SWEs it’s much better to keep the good ones in unprofitable departments and cut underperforming people across the board. SWEs are not responsible for profit and their performance is going to be heavily based on manager reviews.

> It's possible to get fired if you're profitable, but much harder

It’s very rare to tie a specific SWE to profit. A department yet, a SWE not so much.

Your advice might apply to sales but it’s terrible for SWEs.

The ideal OS should be centered around the Owner of a machine, be it a pc, a phone, a tablet, a smart-anything, or else. As the Owner would own many machines, these could be pooled together, or not.

A machine would be equipped with a 3 layer object system: one layer for core objects (any reusable part, locally and/or remotely stored), a personal and impenetrable by default layer (for any and all private data, personal config, tweaks, metadata - anything made and/or generated by the Owner's actions), and a third layer for deliberately shared data (open to anyone with the right key).

Modular core object interpreters could be added for Owners to access any code and/or stacks or packages, written in any language. Imagine a Windows interpreter, able to interact with compatible apps, at a cost for the Owner, should she/he choose to acquire such capabilities. Same for Mac or Linux or Android or any other interpreters.

The inter-connecting links between machines would also be designed around Owner's best interest, using differentiated air-gapped communication pipeline for each layer. The Owner would either choose to locally keep its own data, or store it in a Data Bank (and get some revenues from sharing it in part or in totality).

As for the OS interface, to each its own: from CLI to window based to personal assistants to _Her_ movie style interactions.

The thing is, between layers, hardware, data handling, core objects and interfaces - and the prerequisite for Owners to really own their data and dispose of it as they wish - it would be very hard for any one company to serve the market vertically without lots of public scrutiny. As a paying customer, I'd be incentivized to buy hardware and services from the most reputable sellers: best machines, best data bank or broker, best inter-connecting, best storage, best interfaces, best software environment, etc. Privacy, modularity and compatibility, backed by solid legislative guarantees globally.
