There's like two main ways this kind of mistake happens.

One is a programmer using the wrong string ID. Probably a mistake when searching a translation file/db.

The second is missing context. The word "zip" has multiple meanings in software, so you need more information to disambiguate when translating. "Zip code" and "zip file" is probably sufficient, but you could imagine them also having a templated translation for file types like "{} file".

I could see an unspecialized LLM translation working well for whole sentences or paragraphs, because that kind of text isn't really likely to run into either of these problems. And if you have the context you need to avoid the second problem for small snippets, then human translation is also pretty unlikely to fail.
The issue has always been that people start these projects, see just how big/hard checking the whole of TypeScript is and don't finish it.

It would be awesome if you finished it :]

Especially his summary, where corn creates 20 percent less GHG than gasoline and ''breaks even'' after 28 years, while switchgrass creates 94% less GHG and breaks even in it's first year.
> But I still think it's important to note that this isn't really advancing the state of the art like Apple would like you to believe. It's just a new middle-of-the-road approach with its own possibly-positive tradeoffs and pitfalls.

It also seems that this new library format barely solves any problem and in the process bumps up the number of library types that developers need to onboard and possibly support.

I think the AirPods Max are a lot more hit and miss than the others... for myself and people I know, they were just too heavy/uncomfortable compared to eg the Sony WH XM series.
15 years on dvorak and shortcuts are the primary impediment. The mac tweaked shortcuts work nicely, but they're not consistent. Swing based UI ignores them. It's also still a bit confusing dealing with ctrl-* vs anything that has a cmd, including cmd-opt-shift-* etc. Seems like re-implementing the mac tweak but in a more complete way manually in qmk would be the ultimate cross-platform solution.
On Windows, I think it has always been "Recycle Bin" in any English dialect since the beginning. I guess that leaves a question I never thought of: what do the British call a recycling bin?
Ironically Qwerty is extremely well-designed for typing on a touchscreen phone.

Dvorak was designed to have common characters on home keys and common character sequences alternate between each hand.

That's great on a keyboard with 4 fingers on each hand. On a touch screen, that's really bad! Characters close together complicate touchscreen recognition - is it "poet", "peet", or "pout"? And consecutive characters on opposite sides of the keyboard creates lots of movement for a single thumb.

Instead, Qwerty has common characters spread out across the keyboard, and many common character sequences close together (e.g. "-ed", "tion"). Which is exactly the pattern that is fast & accurate on a touchscreen.
Who do you think he is shilling for regarding the dam?
Yes! I also delete all the cookie warnings (try ###onetrust-consent-sdk to eliminate many of them) and the "subscribe to our newsletter" popups.
I tried Dvorak for a ~month, on and off, and still didn't type as fast as with qwerty. Plus my qwerty performance was reducing.

Can't recommend to do anything but cold turkey (or at least 80% of the time or so), and most definitely you'll need more than a day. You can't conclude it's a bad layout from just one day of starting to learn it!

If I can recommend it at all, that is. If you regularly type on someone else's keyboard, it's already a no go. Yes, this is why we can't have nice things (it's objectively better than qwerty for pretty much any latin-script language that has vowels, yet we don't switch, and I'm basically recommending to maintain that status quo).
Fitness App Loophole Allows Access to Home Addresses
Yeah, and the only reason they don't static link is because these dylibs are some 3rd-party closed-source libraries to avoid a lot of version clashes comparing to ship static lib naively.

Otherwise you put some code in dylib so your app extension can share some code with the main app, but that is tricky due to different RAM usage restrictions between app extension v.s. main app.
It matters a lot when you have a Gov. contract of some sort.

Specifically which clause?
This problem is more far reaching than just extension, and further reaching than what entity is in charge of something.
For instance, the worst company imaginable may be in charge of software that was once FOSS, and they may change absolutely nothing about it, so it should be fine. However, if a small update is added that does something bad, you should know about it immediately.

The solution seems to be much more clearly in the realm of things like crev: https://github.com/crev-dev/cargo-crev/

Wherein users can get a clear picture of what dependencies are used in the full chain, and how they have been independently reviewed for security and privacy. That's the real solution for the future. A quick score that is available upon display everytime you upgrade, with large warnings for anything above a certain threshold.
I documented my Dvorak experience in an FAQ. https://www.nayuki.io/page/i-type-in-dvorak
> LLMs are kind of a silly case because information isn't very dangerous.

I’m with you that AI doomerism is just AI hype, but I wouldn’t go so far as to say “information isn’t very dangerous.” Misinformation at scale is extremely dangerous and has far-reaching societal impact.
It doesn't. It perhaps shouldn't.

That said, I found myself doing little text mangling tasks with GPT-4 instead of appropriate command line tools, because fuck if I remember the flags to sort and unique, and it's much faster to just describe what I want and have the LLM take a crack at it.

This is why, I think, you'll see a lot of simple(ish) tasks being done by LLMs, at couple orders of magnitude more compute cost - it's just that much more convenient.

EDIT: nevermind. That was about just doing regex replace.

But if you want to do it correctly in an automated way, LLMs are indeed the best tool for the job in the general case, because they understand how language work, in a way that you can't really formalize in code. No, feeding the complete definition of English grammar to the computer won't help, because a) it probably doesn't exist, and b) even if it does, it's merely a suggestion - natural language is a living thing, and is not bound by fixed rulesets.
> Can this be weaponized?

I expect the only limit here is human imagination. E.g., Hitler weaponized a microphone.

Spam could be prevented with a listing fee if you want the app to list in the App Store. Spam is prevented by app reviews and policy enforcement, on the App store.

A developer annual fee doesn't prevent spam. It's just there to be hostile to developers...

Obv it would be helpful/nice/cool to have reconfigurable keycaps, where the keycap's legend (LED-enhanced) could display whatever character you choose.

Each key glowing in conformance with your current keyboard layout of choice.

The last time I searched around for something like this, all I could find was some guy in Russia who had hacked up a positively brilliant-looking homebrew keyboard.
And, to be honest, it doesn't even really have to be a problem now. I use almost entirely FSF or Open Source software. Of the proprietary software I use, it's still software that I have an installable copy of and I'll be able to keep using it for as long as I have a machine that can run it.

I don't do automatic updates and actively prevent that from happening. Automatic updates are a plague that means you can't rely on the software anymore, if for no other reason than an update may (and likely will, eventually) remove or otherwise bork the very aspect that made it valuable to you.

But I'm a weirdo and take care to ensure that I actually own and control the software I use. I see people getting burned because they're at the mercy of a company all too often.

Standards-wise the only answer to this is to deprecate all non-UTF-8 locales and leave non-UTF-8 codesets outside the scope of C.

Basically, non-Unicode needs to always be at the edge, while in the middle everything needs to be Unicode.

From an application perspective it's easy: document that it only works in UTF-8 locales. Really, that is my position for my software. Anything else is ETOOHARD.
Well that's not at all what I expected when I saw "harassment" accusations thrown around. Bummer for them if somebody caught on to their alter ego, but also a dick move to take it out on an entire community who happen to use the same website.

Because (to oversimplify things by a lot) you don't have to care in most cases. You have legal requirements as a public institution, when selling to governments / educational institutions or as an employer (depending on country), but requiring all privately-run, commercial websites to be accessible is usually not a thing. This is not legal advice by any means, and the actual situation is way more complicated than that.
Speech recognition is only viable today when the user is in quiet surroundings and not near other people. You can't use it while you have a conversation with someone, for instance. Like it or not, a large part of today's device usage is concurrent with other "meatspace" interactions.

It may be possible if someone implements very good subvocalization recognition. It's possible - I've used military headsets that allow near-silent audio communication - but it takes practice to use effectively, and I really don't see it as a viable mass-market tech.
> The problem being tackled here is link time in debug builds. This affects all platforms.

I've worked on many projects, big and small, and the link time of debug builds was never a problem that was worth fixing.

In fact, even today I was discussing with a coworker the inefficiencies of the project's build process, we literally commented that having to only link a huge subproject is a major blessing.
And the same government is in place they just switched some roles around. The PM is still the same.
"In such cases I don't think we'd even care all that much how complicated a proof it generates."

I think a proof is only useful, if you can validate it. If a LLM spits out something very complicated, then it will take a loooong time, before I would trust that.

Not really, no. The software space was much, much richer and you could get along extremely well without using much software from the big guys.

Because the Camry is a pretty classic example of a car that goes forever and maintains its value. If someone wanted to replace their sedan for an electric one, the Model 3 is the closest bang for their buck they can get, and is also one of the top (right behind the Model Y) EVs in the US.

Granted the Model S is the real Sedan counterpart to the Camry, but I think it's interesting that a Camry is now at the point where it's more expensive than a Tesla. That was unimaginable to me years ago.

Considering that your tone is consistently hostile, I don’t want to engage with you anymore. For your consideration, you probably alienate a lot of people/talent in real life, too.

YMMV but I just asked the same question to both and GPT-4 calculated 9.64 laps, and mentioned how you cannot complete a fraction of a lap, so it rounded down and then calculated 24.5L.

Bard mentioned something similar but oddly rounded up to 10.5 laps and added a 10% safety margin for 30.8L.

In this case bard would finish the race and GPT-4 would hit fuel exhaustion. Thats kind of the big issue with LLMs in general. Inconsistent.

In general I think gpt-4 is better overall but it shows both make mistakes, and both can be right.
That's a good way to think about it. Way I saw it was - if you are foolish enough to give up liberty for safety, you don't deserve the safety anyways.

Drizzle-kit, the migration part of drizzle is not open source, though they said they will open source it in future, but not at this point. Kysley is 100% open source, feature rich and more stable, again back to active development.

First of all, people still go to concerts and will not stop anytime soon. Even if people enjoy music in a variety of ways, people very much still enjoy live music for being live. So it is a bad counter example.

Secondly, all of the examples above were examples of trying to avoid reality. A pathological form of escapism. Why push so hard for such a shitty future where escapism is the only option? Black Mirror is a warning not a manual. Are you really that unimaginative that you can not imagine a better future than the shittiest of dystopias? Also, good enough technology is not an argument. More optimistic scifi like Star Trek has the holodeck with a realism level of ~100%. Yet people don't just spend all of their time in it because reality is amazing in it's own way. Why bring about a future where reality is so undesirable?

Also, as I said, there is absolutely no way VR spaces will not get enshitified the same way all current platforms are. In all VR spaces you will absolutely be the product while also being milked for every single micro-transaction you can pay.
Subscribing to OpenAI, GPT4 seems to go a bit faster than I would read without pushing for speed, and GPT3.5 is super fast, probably like what you're seeing with Bard.

Thinking more on this: the DOM API is built for XML and SGML. It’s not remotely obvious that XML is a good format for representing 3D scene graphs: X3D has hardly taken over the world, Collada has joined glTF now, nobody uses FBX etc.

Meanwhile, glTF is gaining major traction and allows for 3D documents to be designed in a number of industry standard programs which 3D artists use to ship billions of dollars of games.

Hence providing a dedicated API for glTF rather than trying to pretend that it’s XML.

(Come to think of it, this is a pretty similar situation to JSON v XML in Matrix itself…)

Windows XP didn't have automatic updates in the beginning. So approximately nobody had the relevant security patches for Windows and IE. The result were Sasser and MyDoom.A on almost every Windows machine. It was a disaster.
