I am still annoyed by iOS apps like IMDB where you tap the “search” icon, it goes to the search screen but the search field does not have focus. You still have to tap the input. Perhaps that’s because you would not see more promos that they put on the search screen? It’s a user hostile UI but I guess that should not surprise me with IMDB.
My experience with Dialyzer wasn't great a few years ago. The error messages are often counter-intuitive, to the point where hating dialyzer became a meme at work.
Tangential to your much larger lament - OpenStreetMap, and specifically OSMAnd which is libre and free on F-droid, works great for offline maps that are downloaded ahead of time. (I think the version on Google Play limits the number of regions you can download unless you make a small donation).

Ask the Germans :) Anyway, you issue bonds, instead of stocks. You control the term, the "market" tells you the cost. And its a fixed cost. Or you take out a loan, again with fixed interest. You control the parameters as much as anyone else. Or you issue restricted shares, to convince capital owners willing to make a longer term bet to play with you. They have to be in it for the long haul, since they can't sell the shares based on some 1st, 2nd or 3rd order belief about the company value.

The nature of mental illness makes it very difficult to keep the serious cases in consistent care. Even with my own fairly mild (on a scale to psychotic) anxiety attacks I didn’t really want to go into new and challenging situations like seeing a doctor. And I had family, job, healthcare.
Thanks. I'm happy you like the project
I implemented the Monkey programming language as described in the book Writing An Interpreter In Go. Over time I extended it to support different things, and one of the additions I made was to add support for the ternary operator.

In my implementation nested ternary operators were a parse error.
In the U.K. they tend to be called nonces

FAF: Automating My GTD Workflow with LangChain and GPT-4
I think you're overthinking it. I think he meant "Judaeo-Christian roots" as a kind of stand in for American exceptionalism that values individual liberties and freedom above all else. The country obviously doesn't always live up to that ideal, but that was the basic idea

He says as much in the article:

> “The foundation of my comments was to explain that the Air Force is not going to allow AI to take actions, nor are we going to take actions on information provided by AI unless we can ensure that the information is in accordance with our values,” Moore wrote. “While this may not be unique to our society, it is not anticipated to be the position of any potential adversary.”

Sure you can use this to dunk on Christianity or America but that's pretty boring.

But developer experience is a factor that should weigh heavily in evaluating the quality of a programming language.

I also fear Swift is going a step too far. For example, IMO Swift's compilation speed isn’t good enough.

If that’s a matter of lack of tooling, I won’t blame the language, but is it, or is its slowness unavoidable for a language that is so flexible? If the latter, I would rather have a bit less flexibility and more compilation speed.

Similarly, there’s quality of error messages. Swift has gotten better there, but still has some weird ones. Are they unavoidable for the current language?
As someone else helpfully clarified for me, my point is that anyone with the technical skill to run a Tor exit node is also going to use Tor to hide any illegal activities they do online.
I just… sell the stock when it vests? I guess I can see your pov is consistent as long as you consider every stock as a lotto ticket, but I don’t think that’s the typical opinion.
> But it was designed for rapid and almost entirely unfettered economic growth

I don't think it was "designed" at all. It evolves subject to various pressures and interests. And since Reagan or slightly before, most of the pressures from citizens (as opposed to customers) have been lifted/ameliorated. Same with pressures from employees. True, we did somewhat increase the pressure from environmental concerns. But at some point, people noticed that extracting value, instead of creating value, was a pathway to riches, and that's where a lot of the big bucks are made these days.

It could also mean anything from "killing Muslims is fine" to "pursuing a millenialist apocalypse", because "Judeo-Christian" is a political idea more than a moral/ethical or religious one. It contains the idea that Christians and Jews (generally meaning the modern categories) are allies (particularly excluding Islam which contains the same religious origins), but even in that move when people describe something as Judeo-Christian they almost always mean something that is "Christian" or Western European. It is based on an assumption of Christian supremacy where Christianity is assumed to be the successor religion and culture of Judaism. It almost certainly ignores any belief, custom, or practice in Judaism that does not pre-date Christianity.
Are you talking about pure lithium quantities? Those are small indeed, but... the concentration of lithium in the ore mined is low (some mines work with 0.2% ore), so you need to move 500kg of rocks to mine 1kg of lithium.
I've had the same thought.

On the bright side, this is not a new phenomenon. The number of "things" that a new programming language needs to provide that are outside of the language itself has been growing for a long time now. A new language already isn't going to find purchase if it doesn't have a package manager, a build system, a hosted package repository, a standardized pretty printer, a test runner, a documentation generator, a StackOverflow presence, an active community on both synchronous and asynchronous communication platforms, and IDE support. Needing a trained LLM "just" raises the bar for IDE support. However, unlike all of the other "things", this is something that can't really leverage prior art or standardized protocols.

Of course, even to this day there are some people who program without IDEs at all. In order to bootstrap their own LLM training data, new languages will need to fiercely compete for this ever-shrinking segment.
The libertarian answer to global warming is law such that free markets are free of externalities. Carbon tax is a start to align incentives so that people don't get a freebie by ruining other peoples' air.
Of course, but who would do (a) without also using Tor for anything that could get them in trouble?
Like birds? Or fish?
My suspicion is that they have distinct names/skus because (a) they're billed differently (b) they represent different security choices. If I grant a developer's account the ability to create "virtual router" entities, that means said developer can do all kinds of things I may not approve of. If I grant them only the ability to create "Internet gateway" entities, I know exactly what I'm getting into and (more or less) what I should expect the bill to be for that

I do agree with you that having a separate "egress-only Internet gateway" for IPv6 is dumb and confusing. I'm sure there's some number of pizzas which explains this Conway's Law instance
https://milkv.io/pioneer seems to be what you are looking for, but I'd only recommend it for developers who are working on getting things like gpu drivers ported.

For most development smaller SBCs are enough, and I'd recommend waiting for RVA22/23 profile supporting hardware before spending a lot of money, because most current chips use the non standard vector isa and don't support all profile extensions, because they where created before everything was ratified.
That's just for autocorrect, right?

I would like to see an LLM in Siri and eventually even have it interact with/control the rest of the system.

Ideally with Whisper-level speech recognition of course.

I see this opinion voiced all the time, and I can never understand how people can struggle with something like nested ternaries. Surely a straightforward use (i.e. not a weird edge case) of very basic syntax shared by most widely used programming languages shouldn't cause much of an issue?

It should also be easier to reason about nested ternaries than an equivalent set of nested if-elses, because at least with ternaries you know that every branch is an expression resulting in some value (and statically typed languages ensure that these values have the correct type), whereas if-else blocks can contain anything, are likely (and in most languages (which lack if-else expressions), forced) to mutate things, and have no guarantee of producing the result that you were expecting, unlike ternaries (especially in statically typed languages).

That’s just the tip of the iceberg. I do still have empathy for the people themselves too. It is certainly not fun to have serious un/poorly treated mental illness and being thrown on the streets to fend for yourself. Most aren’t attacking people, they’re just suffering in their own hell.

Being in a controlled environment where they’ll have to take appropriate medication and treatment would be much better for themselves
There being no immediate repercussions doesn't mean there aren't going to be any long term when you basically give governments a loaded gun aimed at your own head. Eventually someone might decide to use it even if the reason for it has nothing to do with the gun.

This is a person who, by their own statement, had out of context IRC logs used by the government to convict him of a different crime.
Of course they will add an on-device LLM and can afford to. It doesn't cost them anything to integrate or train a AI whether if it is a ConvNet or a LLM and jump into the race to zero with Meta with on-device machine learning.

They have done it before and they will certainly do it again, especially with Apple Silicon and CoreML.

The one that needs to worry the most is O̶p̶e̶n̶AI.com as they rushed to stop the adoption of downloadable and powerful AI models for free to the regulators. That shows that O̶p̶e̶n̶AI.com does not have any sort of 'moat' at all.
Sendgrid's lack of autofocus in the 2FA page is particularly annoying
It may be idealistic, but I think that those elected to office or appointed to influential positions such as judges should do so largely out of a sense of public service instead of personal enrichment. For people who are motivated by greed or power, no amount of compensation will be enough, they will always be tempted to to increase their power and wealth by taking bribes or political favors.

Pay them a respectable salary but you do not and should not try to match what the private sector pays. It not the same playing field and should not attempt to be.
I don't recall valgrind catching anything in Rust code right now, but do remember that we're binding to C libraries so it's still possible for them to leak; or as you say something inside an unsafe clause.

One need not be The Star; the key thing is to be qualified to stand by, as related in this anecdote.
I'm shocked at how seriously people are taking the 745 mile statistic, as if EVs were like rockets, range set at the limit of physical feasibility, rather than market-led compromises between range, power, weight, and price. If you develop a fancy new high-density, high-power battery, the market optima sits at a smaller battery. This holds true at least until the market is saturated.
No, this is nonsense.

You’re implying that there are many things that could go wrong, and that if we took a random sample of “things” that we would probably find some joint distribution that is small. This is true in the sense that an incalculably small proportion of conceivable things happen.

But this particular thing is not a random sample of things. You don’t get to appeal to the unknown distribution of distributions. Your claim that it “ almost always makes positive outcomes very rare” is completely irrelevant to non randomly chosen and defined processes.

You can’t insert steps into a Bayesian inference until your priors match a desired outcome. It’s as fallacious as inserting an infinite number of steps that are highly likely but technically possible to not be the case as a way to reduce any given prior from basically guaranteed to basically never expected to happen.

Your argument reduces to “I don’t know what decides the probability of alien life but I think the chance is small” which is a fine opinion, but your mathemagics have not strengthened your argument.

Suppose we play a game called “the four game” in which case you have to guess if I’m thinking of the number 4. By your reasoning you would probably guess 0% because you don’t know the rules of generation and there are infinite conceivable ways I could draw numbers from and 1 out of infinite draws will be exactly 4. But when I play the four game I always think of 4. The imagined sampling of unknown distributions is irrelevant because the game itself is not random.

Now, look, the Drake equation tries to do it all, and that’s probably bad. Let’s re imagine it as a function that simply identifies a probability of alien life, by now, on a randomly chosen planet, multiplied by the total number of planets out there right now (let’s ignore the detectable part). Is the probability part really small? Well yeah almost certainly. No math required. Is it small enough that we can provide any confidence on the order of magnitude of the expected value? Nope. The only interesting question, imo, is whether that expected value is greater than or less than one.

The drug example you have provided is a case of exploring a new space. This is not comparable to life appearing on a planet. Because like a novel drug development, we have an example of life originating on a planet. It’s not a random sample either but it’s sufficient to observe that the process to make this happen exists and has happened. Unlike the drug development which largely a test of whether the pattern exists or not.
Yeah, I can't imagine anyone wanting slang to rhyme.
Interop isn't magic. It can't make the C++ model transparently compatible with that of Swift when the two languages deviate.
It's going to chew up at least 1 GB of storage space and RAM, right? And probably kill the battery life to boot.

The number of all Muslims only surpassed members of the Catholic church around 2008. There are still substantially more Christians as a whole, including Orthodox and Protestants. https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna23885015

Based on current population growth, in the next 10 years, there should be more Muslims than Christians. From wikipedia's chart: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim_population_growth#Histo...
- 1970: 577mm
- 2000: 1.291b
- 2013: 1.635b
- 2016: 1.8b
- 2020: 2b

For comparison, the Catholic church currently has 1.36b members, and Christians overall are estimated at 2.3 billion.

What's deterring me from pulling the trigger on the Scheme version is the price. CAD$87 seems a bit steep for a paperback edition that's almost 30 years old. The JavaScript version is CAD$20 cheaper.
I strongly support Tor. I'm saying that anyone who runs an exit node is also going to use Tor for anything that might get them in trouble. Hence, it's nonsense to say that Tor exit nodes should be illegal on the grounds that they can be "used as an excuse," as the comment above suggested.

I’ve been bitten enough by Objective-C++ compiler bugs (Apple’s attempt at mixing Objective-C and C++), as well as bugs in Apple’s code in the Swift ecosystem, not to trust the stability here for at least several years. I also don’t see how this is much better than just creating a C or ObjC wrapper around a C++ library, rather than needing to keep C++‘s complicated language features, and Swift’s interop with it, in my head as I use the library. Were there people clamoring for this? I can’t really see the point.
Or they don’t see the scale, which leads to friction with users. You don’t see how your tool gets used, leading to DevEx issues with the project, people asking with varying levels of politeness why you built things that way.

But at the end of the day the feedback is only so valuable, even when it comes with PRs.
It is this manufacturing question that Toyota is claiming to have a solution to here, but afaik we don’t have details yet so it’s hard to say. But they claim to be able to mass produce these and bring them to market within ~4 years.
When people talk about the existential threat of AI, stories like this are the reason I find those risks worth taking seriously.

Judeo-Christian roots are good for making exactly the wrong kinds of conclusions about the world. Set aside ethics for a moment; this worldview instills the belief that the world we live in was made, and that it is humanity’s right to exercise dominion over it. That when we screw things up badly enough, that’s actually a precursor to the greatest event in human history.

Explicit is the belief that the next world is the world that matters, and that this world is just a playground to establish what kind of people we are before we go to heaven or hell.

Implicit in this belief lies a fundamental ignorance of the intrinsic interconnection of phenomena, the sheer improbability of our existence, and an attitude that imagines us to be greater than the forces of nature. And once you mix in a side of anthropomorphizing AI, it’s frightening to think about the hubris involved in a statement claiming that ethics emerge from Judeo-Christian thinking.

As an atheist who was forced to study the Bible in my youth, the biggest thing I took away from the experience is that “Judeo-Christian thinking” has little to do with what Jesus taught. If it did, it’d be a pretty cool religion for the most part.

Instead, it stands in as a justification that people can apply to their existing beliefs. A mental crutch to bypass the need to expand one’s worldview. I’ve met some good Christians.
But they’re not the kind of people who represent the average beliefs held by the community.
or maybe the opposite? Or maybe I misunderstand the statement.

A lot of money seems to buy happiness, and when that pile of money is used to raise the price of housing / food / transportation - then those who do not have the big pile of money feel like they are hopeless and are often treated as such which has secondary effects.
Musk says Twitter will change logo to X, ‘bid adieu’ to bird
I agree that interface is key to not just software design, but design in general. Designing parts in isolation, you can do pretty much whatever you want. But people being able to gracefully handle where and when two parts collide is what makes the software world go round. One of my favorite bits on interfaces is this Rust Koan[0], which has a funny twist of pragmatism at the end.

It's a shame too many developers think this huge idea is just the interface keyword, or OOP, or even just the `object.method()` syntax. I hear dot-autocomplete come up in conversation almost every day now. When I was in college people asked me "How can you even use C? It doesn't even have classes...?", the implication being you couldn't encapsulate your code at all, and I get the same shrinking feeling when people talk about dot-autocomplete as if it's synonymous with interface discoverability. But it's really just one particular implementation (heh) of a much broader and more abstract (heh) idea. It's like calling all tissues Kleenex or all sodas Coke.

My experience is that OpenBSD works best if you don’t go too much outside of what comes with the distribution.

As soon as you install packages you are going to be dealing with incompatibilities between OpenBSD releases and dealing with a lot of recompilation.

As an example I had installed fish from the packages as my default shell and after upgrading from 6.X to 6.x+1 I could not log in anymore because the compiled fish binary simply was not compatible anymore.

It is all by design and once you know these people things you can work around “quirks” like this.
