Running games in the browser provides a bit of convenience of not having to download and run a platform-specific executable. There might be some security benefits too.

Depends on the nature of the game though. It works best for games that are lightweight and stateless.
Nice work. Thanks for sharing.

Q. I understand LLM with langchain is running on a public facing server. Are these attacks infiltrating the server to plant an MITM, or confusing the LLM to execute malicious code via prompts, or placing maliciously crafted LLMs in public servers for download, or a combination of all?

I use FreePascal/Lazarus and Delphi for my desktop products. Delphi is expensive but since I am very old client I get away with discount for my pro version upgrades.

In my opinion there is nothing out there that matches simplicity, productivity and power of Delphi when it comes to desktop. My deployments are signed single exe that can be copied anywhere they just run. And are super snappy.

My main languages outside desktop are C++, JS and whole bunch of others when needed.

Not all views is valid. And nobody should be forced to associate with someone they don't like.

But I don't consider corporations "people". And they should not have the prerogative to choose what views they will amplify.

That is what I meant by non-association can become censorship. A person can't do that. But a large corporation providing a public service can.

As a developer on one of larger Unity games - yes, there are paint points elsewhere. There are many pain points. The poor performance of Mono/IL2CPP is a significant one for us. We have a different game built on .NET (Core) and performance is significantly better.

I also wouldn't call Unity's Mono 'heavily optimized' because they definitely trail behind standard Mono. Unity doesn't even support Mono's generational garbage collector but it has been the default in Mono since 2016.

>tightly knit to workers movement

Most popular movements had/has their own study orgamisation.

In rural Sweden it's just as likely to be Vuxenskolan, the study branch of the agrarian movement (Centern, 4H, hushållningssällskapet)

ABF would be the workers study org, Medborgarskolan the conservatives.

There are 10 national organsiations in all.
That's only true if you focus purely on the cost as being polynomial or not. The constant factors, the exponents, and the ability to represent difficult problems compactly, can of course differ pretty substantially. The ability to find approximate solutions, and the difficulty of the average case, can also differ substantially from problem to problem. An example of an application where these kinds of details are crucial is cryptography.
I still think it depends on the telemetry itself. Companies knowing my location at all times? Disgusting and creepy. Company knowing I ran `go help` 200x as opposed to running `go build` 10x is fine imho.

Pascal kinda lives on in Oracle's PLSQL and in Postgres.

I was exposed to Pascal in high school and college in the late 80s/early 90s.

Those "who want to learn it from them" must make the assessment. Any less is censorship of the teacher, which, in my mind, is an unqualified evil.

Maybe (can't remember, might have never known), but not necessarily. As an example of the idea, consider the simplex algorithm as it applies to linear programming. It has exponential worst-case behavior, but people noticed that in practice the vast majority of interesting problems could be solved quickly. Later it was shown that all non-polynomial inputs do actually lie in some diminutive subspace.

I have a coworker who, when he got out of school in the 90s, got hired to write COBOL. There's a ton of COBOL out there, and why not? As much as "waterfall" is a fiction, high-spec, super-detailed-spec projects actually do have some advantages as they are usually well thought out. That is where COBOL played, and why those apps have run since the 70s.
I think you answered your own question.

> Peanuts somehow is still around 22 years after Schultz died, how!?

In the past, when authors died, a space was created for new authors. Today, even when an author dies, they continue producing content, which has the effect of crowding out space for anyone else. Not only do you have to compete with the best comics of our time, you have to compete with the best comics of all time. What would it mean for today's classical composers if Bach and Beethoven were still making new music (probably with AI they soon will, if they aren't already).

If you keep running Peanuts, then there's no room for the next Peanuts to grow. Writing a comic isn't about social commentary anymore, it's about growing an audience to the point where you can lock them in for 50, 70, maybe 100 years+. No matter if what you have to say in your comic is irrelevant and not funny. It's a business and there's money to be made.

I don't see this at all. game devs on average want to be closer to the hardware and JS is even farther from it than c# (and c# has added more ways to do things like traditional pointers when you need to squeeze even more performance out). Lua you can certainly make an argument for because LuaJIT is insanely fast.
I'll take the other side of this. While there certainly are examples of click bait and inflammatory BS on Twitter, there is also an element of legitimate thought leadership that can go viral in a way you just don't have on any other social media platform.

There are few other platforms I can think of where someone with deep expertise on any subject can publish interesting, informed takes on their field- On a platform where the barrier to entry to publish is near-zero, provided with a random chance to go viral.

When I used Twitter, seeking out and following these kinds of experts actually made the experience of Twitter a rich and informative platform- albeit one where you constantly needed to "weed the garden".

The problem of course is that was a thin layer of wheat in a big bucket of chaff- but there is a better answer to "best alternative to twitter is no twitter": The best alternative to Twitter is one that can maximize virality for expert opinions; incentivizing other users to write engaging, structured opinions. Try to build a system where the best way to engagement farm is to show real thought leadership.

Somewhat related to AT commands, there's a collection of anecdotes from Linus Torvalds' old officemate in Uni Helsinki, one time Linus had a brainfart while trying to dial into his ISP, the result of which was that his harddisk bootsector ended up beginning with the string "ATDT " and his ISP's phone number. The next day Linus implemented permission controls.

"Inside every old person is a young person that wonders what the fuck happened".
Identity formation is an complex and fascinating subject in human development. As an educator and father of three can also chime in with my own personal experience.

I believe that many (if not most) people do not have a fully formed identity around gender or around sexuality by the age of 15-16.

So asking questions to this group on whether they identity as this or that may actually cause some psychological harm because they are still in the process of forming an identity on multiple fronts.

Imagine being a 15 year young women just out of middle school. You are extremely uncomfortable with you’re body, appearance and just now discovering things of a sexual nature. This period is difficult for many regardless of sexual orientation or gender.

Now imagine going into your freshman english class and the first question asked by your teacher is introduce yourself and your preferred pronoun. This may seem progressive and tolerant but consider it may also be harmful to minors at this stage of development.

Now as an adult if you feel you may have gender dysmorphia and start to identify as a deferent gender than birth .. by all means. In this case I am fully supportive and want people to feel comfortable and find happiness, I also believe we live in a mostly free society so as an adult this is absolutely within your rights.

If you read this far I thank you and am fine is you disagree. Just my thought is my perspective (and many others) as a father of three girls and educator for 20 years should allow for some nuisance in discussion.

My issue is not wether you and I agree on this topic as I assume you have your own valid perspective and experience .. my issue is that this topic is put off limits in many cases and it’s an all or nothing acceptance on supporting trans rights and what that entails.
> If the Go team at google no longer has any ideas for what to work on (as must be the case if they're wasting their time on dumb crap like forced google spyware in a compiler) then they should just stop.

They did stop. "Go 1" is complete.

Since 2017, the project renewed itself by moving to what is dubbed "Go 2"[1], being built around community feedback. Decisions are made based on data collected from the community. Adding telemetry to increase the amount of data available is in line with the new project scope. Go 1.13 was the first "Go 2" release[2].

Indeed, "Go 1" is still there if you want to use the tool that was built for what was needed at Google and nothing more. You don't have to move into the "Go 2" ecosystem. But if others want to put their time into that, why not? That's their prerogative.

I'm not sure what to make of comments like this. The discussion around LLMs and their capacities has just been universally horrendous.

>But if sentience is required for my computer to produce the "Tada!" noise when it switches on then my computer is sentient also.

But there is a large and obvious difference between your PCs boots up sound process and the output of LLMs. For one, its far more plausible that sentience is required to produce the kinds of texts that LLMs produce than to produce a boot up sound.

>Nothing you have said establishes in any sense that LLMs are sentient

I wasn't trying to, I was simply pointing out the error in concluding a lack of sentience from the arguments given. If you want to have a discussion about how/why LLMs might be sentient, I'm happy to have it. But most people don't actually want to have that discussion.

It may just be the raw performance. Delphi VCL programs are very fast, because they’re running native non-interpreted right on top of the base windows api.

> The best alternative to twitter is no twitter.

I used to think this. And by "used to" I mean 3 months ago, after I quit Twitter.

Initially, I didn't miss social media. I had a nice restful period, a vacation if you will. Eventually, though, I found that I did miss it, so I signed up for Mastodon. Some of the same problems as Twitter had exist on Mastodon too, I admit. I guess I am addicted anyway. In recent years I've quit both alcohol and caffeine entirely, yet I'm not sure I can quit social media entirely. It's my weakness.

I am still 100% a Cory fanboy, still a gem of a piece as usual.

It's not a full on problem for me, but a lot of the article talks about intermediation, but while users intermediating & altering their experiences with ad-blockers & defense is obviously good & ok, fraudsters intermediating sites to create predatory enshittified prpxy sites is obviously bad. I want the argumentation against these folk to have a more clear & separate ground, beyond "just" intermediation.

Cory's net point still feels very much intact. The harsh violation of "create more value than you capture" (Tim OReilly) shows a morabund parasitic version of tech that's up to no good, that isnt technology for humans but tech to leech humanity, and it's far to present & far too growing a share of tech. Still, part of me wants to defend intermediation, as resculpting & rebuilding other people's places/sites/apps/services to be better also stems from that freedom. But minus the fraud.

> For example, defending homosexuality as a legitimate life choice would have gotten you packed and sent away to the crazy house, and no paper would have ever written about this before the late 80s or so.

Quite to the contrary. The Institut für Sexualwissenschaft [1] was a research institute dedicated to human sexuality. Histories have long been "cleansed" of records of gay and transgender people; look no further than the bible for evidence that homosexuality was quite normal in society a very long time ago. After all, there's no need to invent a rule against something that people don't want to do.
