I never argued that copyright should be abolished, I was responding to a comment that essentially said that anyone who was opposed to copyright is doing so at the behest of large corporations at the expense of individuals, which is a really flawed and one sided way of looking at copyright laws, the first linked article you provided being a great example.

For the record, I can’t find a single large corporation pushing for the dissolution of copyright, and many clear examples of large corporations lobbying for increased copyright protections and terms. I thinks this puts the onus for providing evidence on those who would argue that corporations are completely failing to act in their own interest.

We're working in a Rust workspace monorepo with about 30 crates and it feels fast.
I'd also add a sense of wanting to be useful, and not letting people (you serve) down (which can be emotionally draining).
OOP works well when state and behavior are tightly coupled, particularly for things which are naturally modeled as state machines. Device drivers tend to be perfectly suited to OOP organization: the underlying device has state that needs to be tracked, it has behaviors which can be controlled (usually by sending particular messages), and there are often multiple implementations of the hardware which should all expose the same high-level API. OOP allows bundling the state handling with the control messages needed, exposing a single common API while allowing specialized implementations for particular driver implementations.

For the higher-level code, it's often less useful.
A related exercise that may be of interest: five levels of "why."

Find a willing friend or coworker, and ask them why they did something with a project of theirs. When they answer that, ask them "why" about their answer. Do this a total of five times.

After the second "why," they'll probably have to think pretty hard. The fourth or fifth "why" sometimes elicits a "because it's just done that way" or "I dunno" response.

Then let them do the same to you.

It's a fun exercise.

If you are on iOS, PhotoSync works great. It's just a backup app but supports a ton of different endpoints (I use sftp), scheduling, and most importantly to me custom naming. iOS photo names are dogshit and renaming them to be time-stamped it amazing.
The author seems to be entirely unaware of the current crop of open source / public language models like LLaMA and Falcon. People are already engaging in the behavior that, according to the article,
might present an existential threat to humanity.

The existential threat argument is a ridiculous notion to begin with. Pretending open source LLMs don’t already exist makes the argument even more silly.

A lot of people in the imperative world have learned that it’s much easier to test pure functions, and many more people know how badly global shared state affects scalability on the human factors side (everything, everywhere, has access to changes this variable, so good luck figuring out why it gets a bad value).

Functional core, imperative shell is the compromise where you collect state in shallow parts of the code, where they are easier to spot and thus easier to reason (correctly) about.
> Easier to build using imperative code than functional.

I am a bit confused about this. The following code is pure and I can't think of an easier way to do it imperatively:

function triangle(n) {
if (n <= 1) {
return [1]
}

const p = triangle(n - 1)
return Array.from({ length: n })
.map((_, i) => (p[i - 1] ?? 0) + (p[i] ?? 0))
}
The nice thing about methane is that it's not too energy dense, so you can sell it to your population like gasoline. You may not want to give the population mini-nukes or vacuum energy generation from EVOs.

We don't need to use solar panels though, we already have exceedingly cheap energy generation in the form of nuclear power. We also have inexpensive ways of transmuting the nuclear waste.

We don't really have a environmental problem, we have a regulatory problem; it is impossible to develop any of this new technology because we have made it infinitely expensive by law. We have also made non-technical environmentalism the height of fashion, and now its used as the spiritual engine for the political-left. For those of you who are concerned that this process is net neutral, there is nothing stopping us from using a similar process to pull the carbon out of the C02 and use it for construction, or to just bury it.

The key to a better future is to reconsider our attitudes toward energy innovation and to remove the activists from our regulatory boards and to re-write our laws to make it possible to innovate and build. We teach our kids that they are doomed, maybe we should encourage them to study nuclear and plasma engineering instead.
I have been using this for a while and don't have to do much. It automatically reloads for me. My only gripe is that it won't allow me to right-click and automatically create a use statement for Derive macros. But I may be spoiled by switching back and forth between Kotlin and Rust.

Have they been proven wrong? What is the roadmap to get to general purpose AI, and what is the proof that we are close?

The domains where AI experts can beat domain experts is certainly growing, but I don't see how you can get from that to a claim of general AI. I certainly don't see how you can get there from the recent LLMs in particular which can't beat domain intermediates at anything.

The transformer model is one more incremental improvement that made the language problem tractable. This has only captured the public interest because the language problem is so much more flashy and easy to understand than something like protein folding.
I personally haven't experienced that issue, but in my experience IntelliJ IDEs can offer a different experience per environment based on your Java and filesystem settings.

Especially if you happen to be doing anything like using WSL or a mounted network share. For example, I had to do a lot of workarounds to resolve indexing and line ending issues while working on a Windows machine and running my code on a remote container server running nix.
TurboTax also allegedly adds delays to increase the perception that the work the product does is very technical and difficult (which, of course, is not true).
Yea, we are going to destroy RHEL by doing what they want us to. RH wants more people using and building distros off of centos stream instead of using RHEL clones. I don't think they see this as a negative, especially since it devalues suse in the process because they are basically admitting RHEL is more desirable.

2. Have you contributed funds to OpenAI? If not, where did your sense of entitlement come from?

3. What makes you think that any of what OpenAI has produced and provided would be available without funding? I assume the answer to 1 above will be no, so, how do you expect them to build without funds?

and 4. What's stopping you from creating what you thought OpenAI should be? Feel free. Nobody stopping you.

Public in what sense? Elementary through Secondary aka K-12 is, but is mandatory for students unless they take extra-ordinary measures to not be there, e.g. homeschooling, or dropping out at 16. Funding through this is usually handled on the state and local level, often by local property taxes.

Public Universities are ones funded by the state, to varying degrees.

Private Unis have their own funding, usually through a mix of tuition and large endowments.
Not only very correct, but far more common than you think.
When considering synthetic chemicals made from solar energy, methane is probably one of the last you should consider.

Making any type of chemical energy carrier comes with substantial losses, so whenever you can, using electricity directly is better.

If you absolutely need a chemical energy carrier, the first one you will look at is hydrogen, because it's the simplest and you avoid all the direct air capture or other CO2 sourcing issue.

If H2 does not work due to its low volumetric energy density, the next one to consider is ammonia. It has a higher energy density, but it also has some downsides. It's very toxic, it does not burn very well, and burning it causes nasty side products like NOx and N2O.

Then there's methanol. In case you want a hydrocarbon, that's almost always better than methane. It's a liquid, which is a huge advantage in ease of handling. Transporting and storing it is a lot easier compared to any type of gas.

Methane has the big disadvantage that it's itself a potent greenhouse gas. (Btw, hydrogen also is an indirect greenhouse gas, although not as strong as methane.) The only thing methane has in its favor is existing infrastructure, but it's a weak argument compared to the other downsides.
They don't boot into desktop linux though.
Depends on your definition of "correctness". In MISRA, JSF, and similar areas, memory usage (including stack!) is part of the correctness. If you overflow the stack because of recursion, it doesn't matter how "correct" the rest of the program was, it's still broken.

And the same for time. Some programs require proving that you meet the timing constraints. Recursion does not make that easier. (Neither does a language that can allocate behind your back, nor one that can run a garbage collector.)

So the rules for such environments usually say: No recursion, and no allocations after initialization. They say this because those rules make it easier to prove correctness.
Not necessarily. Something being too fast can be confusing. If you expect a process to take some time and it ends immediately, it can feel like it failed.

I remember the people from Blogger (google) talking about this problems. People were not very familiar with blog / website builders and users were confused when their blogs got created instantly, like "This is a big deal, me getting an entire website, what happened, what went wrong? It must have aborted the process…"

I still don't forgive SUSE for buying Rancher and then unceremoniously killing k3os. They just left the website up and everything, made no announcement, made no attempt to help the community take over, just left the Github repo to rot: https://k3os.io/

Hard to have confidence in SUSE's commitment to another open source operating system side project after that. SUSE's announcement at the time:

Like SUSE, Rancher is 100% open source and equally as passionate as SUSE about true open source innovation, community empowerment, and customer success. SUSE and Rancher share the same goal – happy and satisfied customers.

(Shrug) If it turns out that humans have a higher purpose than doing a robot's job badly, I don't see the downside to letting the robots do the job. I'm all for capitalism, but it's an ideology, not a religion. If there's something better on the horizon, let's help it along.

> 2 years ago I thought we were decades away from general purpose AI...My time estimates have been proven very wrong.

What's your working definition of "general purpose AI"? What does it include? What does it not include?

Does the AI have to be smart enough not to very often state incorrect information? LLMs still are unimpressive to me from that front.

I asked ChatGPT to explain the usage of the term "Wonder Kid" in the popular Apple TV+ series Ted Lasso, and which character it's tied with. It gave me confidently-stated incorrect answers multiple times until I told it the answer. (At which point it stated the correct answer with an apology.)

This doesn't feel close to "general purpose AI". Feels like we're meeting the limits of LLMs and finding they're not a magic AI bullet.
I gave this a shot a while ago and it looked promising. I particularly like the ability to identify pictures, something that Google Photos seems to be slipping on. (*)

The deal breaker for me was that there was no way to share the entire inventory of my photos without providing admin access. Does anyone know if that feature has been provided?

(*) I used to be able to find some pictures using simple keywords like "dog" but Google finds far fewer pictures with those keywords any more. OTOH, it is amusing to see the interpretation of some of my photos in Photoprism, but I suspect that will get better with time.
I strongly prefer an ungamified GitHub, but can appreciate the OP's work (a nice site and some interesting stats). The two ideas are not mutually exclusive.
But why is that a better solution than an electric scooter? I'd think the scooter would be preferable for that sort of use case.
> Out of these, we often just see

"Often" seems like weasel words? Look at e.g. tech worker salaries rocketing up. Or the year on year improvements in key items such as cars and phones.

What you're saying doesn't jibe with my understanding of the 20th and 21st centuries' explosion of innovation and quality of life improvements.

If you think Fords and VWs are no better than Ladas, or SpaceX rockets aren't better than Soyuz rockets, or people flock to countries run by "the commies" vs, say, the US, due to the better products and wages in said "commie" countries, then we might just have a fundamental disagreement on the state of reality. But my understanding is the opposite is true.

> why not sell 10s of the cheap one over and over?

Companies can do that, but in a decent economic environment a competitor or twelve can spring up and offer products at different prices and levels of quality. E.g. not every restaurant is McDonald's. Why is that?
As someone building products with AI models, the safety guardrails are very helpful and save me a ton of work. Like to the point that it would be a very tough sell for me to integrate a model without those features even if it were much better in other ways.

Are there more of me or you?

My specific example is that most image generators have a default setting to reject queries for porn and some do processing after generation to detect generated porn. Does it do nipple detection? I haven't thought much about it and that's kind of the point. The result is that it's hard to generate porn with my tool and that saves me a ton of time moderating or building complex filters myself.

“X is a word we made up. It doesn't mean much of anything at the end of the day.”

Apple is also a problem. Do you think if Google/carriers had the perfect messaging open standard ready to go they would bother implementing it? I doubt it. Tim Cook's response to someone asking for RCS support to chat with their mother was to "Buy your mom an iPhone". It's in Apple's best interest to not bother with things like this or half ass it so long as their own solution looks good. They don't support MTP commonly used by Android devices (and others) to talk to computers either for example. Another example is NFC pairing. NFC pairing is great and has been around for years, iPhones have had NFC for years. Apple never bothered but implemented "quick" pairing with the release of the Airpods (honestly its jankier too but hey...).
I've not had that experience personally, and I've used CLion with the rust plugin for quite a while.

It's hard to guess who you're talking about but that is not what Google does. They scrape public web servers, respecting robots.txt directives and then they provide links back to the original site.

And if someone hosts user-submitted copyrighted information without a license, the copyright holder can submit a complaint via DCMA and the hoster has safe harbor from liability.

OpenAI is literally scraping copyrighted works, packing it up and selling it without a license. Art, books, magazines, everything. No safe harbor from DMCA for doing that.
iostreams are horrible to use, especially if you want to format your output and they blow up compilation to a mythical degree. People go to great lengths to avoid them and I agree with them.

print/println are based on the fmt library (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt), which had it's first release in 2015, so it's roughly as old as Rust afaik. It's mainly inspired by Python formatting.

Having per-type formatters is just a logical conclusion of having type-safe formatting.

iostreams are for all kinds of io (which includes stdin/stdout), while fmt is entirely dedicated to formatting strings. Those things are related, but not the same. cout and cerr and such will probably be entirely superseeded by print/println (I hope), but it doesn't make iostreams generally redundant.

println adds a newline and you want to be able to choose, so there is print and println.
