So write some Lisp to do exactly what you want and package it up into a mode?

The alternative is shopping for a solution that does exactly what you want.

I once argued with a senior dev (later engineering manager, I guess he is a director of development now somewhere), that storing password hashes in unsalted SHA1 was bad.

His defense? "This system is internal only and never connected to the internet"

Senior titled devs don't necessarily know their shit.
ignore and out compete them

don't sink to their level and engage in "creative ways to deal with" them

that will only distract you from what you should be doing
I'm fairly certain that you have to undergo a sleep study wherein they monitor your breathing and your blood oxygen levels. If your blood oxygen falls to levels that seem dangerous you will be prescribed. So my understanding is it's not as simple as going to the doctor and saying "I slept funny last night".
Everyone, including Ars Technica, uncritically swallows this "assume liability" line.

Even when you cause an accident, you don't pay. Your insurance company does. You might "pay" with increased future insurance rates.

So what exactly does it mean that Mercedes "assumes liability"?

What is the process and what happens?

If that system causes an accident, how do you contact Mercedes? How do your prove you were running it within desired parameters?

Are they going to reimburse insurance company?

We all have (or supposed to have) mandatory insurance. We're already paying so what practical difference does it make to the owner of that car?

Those are really basic question that no one seems to address.

Everyone just repeats that vague marketing line like it means something.
Nice idea if you can afford it, and few can afford to live precisely where they want. I've made a habit of travelling to visit friends, which is easy for me because I'm childless and most of my old friends have kids. At least half of my trips are to see someone I know. That plus that occasional phone call, video chat and a WhatsApp group keeps me closer to these old friends now than in the past.

But the idea of uprooting my life, finding a new job, finding a new home and then moving near one friend seems excessive and unrealistic. It's not like all my friends live near each other and are waiting for me to join.

But, maybe when I'm old.

As a solopreneur myself for the last 3 years, I’ve tried every solution mentioned here.

The best solution I have found and what I currently use is https://www.outseta.com/

It handles everything: from authentication to help desk, to transactional emails, marketing emails to sales funnel, subscription management.

Everything is basically no code so you don’t end up needing to build anything yourself that isn’t central to your value prop.

You can get it running in one day. Highly recommend.

Studies have shown time and time again that a 4 day work week results in higher productivity and happier employees. Happy employees also do better work.
I'm far more worried about how they will try to regulate the use of AI.

As an example the regulations around PII make debugging production issues intractable as prod is basically off-limits lest a hapless engineer view someone's personal address, etc.

How do they plan to prevent/limit the use of AI? Invasive monitoring of compute usage? Data auditing of some kind?
I wanted to let you know that I _race_ to answer a call as quickly as possible. If I didn't want to be called I never would have installed the app in the first place.
The "Reported-By" must be read in the context of the patch carrying that tag, and not in the context of the blog author's initial issue. The accepted patch has the following title:

> powerpc/32: Fix overread/overwrite of thread_struct via ptrace

Miculas is credited with identifying the low-level issue: ptrace is overwriting thread_struct. To me, that does recognize that Miculas did significant analysis work.

How does that look like in practice ? What do those nukes do?
If the model was able to spit out a result for how to make nukes it means that info was in the training data, so im not rly sure how having the model return that data is different than the data just being searchable?

I rly dont see this tech being a big deal
To be fair, I’ve pushed vulnerabilities to prod when considered a senior and with 10+ years of experience. Nobody is immune to their own stupidity and hubris.
How much did memory safety factor in the decision? I mean only last week the IT world was yet again bitten by a major memory safety bug, in libwebp.
I found the article quite unbiased, specially coming from a Rust focused platform service.

So congrats! Relevant part FTA:

Which language is right for you?

Go:

- easy to learn, fast, good for web services

- batteries included. We did a lot with just the standard library.

- Our only dependency was Gin, which is a very popular web framework.

Rust:

- fast, safe, evolving ecosystem for web services

- no batteries included. We had to add a lot of dependencies to get the same functionality as in Go and write our own small middleware.

- the final handler code was free from distracting error handling, because we used our own error type and the ? operator. This makes for very readable code, at the cost of having to write additional adapter logic.
That's not how grid economics work. Transmission costs are large and rising, but that is more of a problem for intermittent sources.
to be pedantic, just being "typed" is not enough these days with dynamically-typed server code.
I strongly feel that VR will help mitigate this problem. Location wouldn’t matter as much, and neither would busy schedules when “meeting up” would be as instant as a phone call. In fact, I was just playing VR ping pong with one of my best childhood friends who moved to Canada the other day. While not perfect, the sense of presence is way better than FaceTime or an audio call.

Prior to Apple’s vision reveal, VR’s largest problem is that most adults refused to even try it for both strange and valid reasons (“it’s stupid” “it’s too expensive” “it’s too complicated”). A lot of those reasons have been invalidated with meta’s quest. Standalone VR is the NES of our generation where you have a device that children just intrinsically understand while most adults either scoff at or ignore it. (This is apparent if you ever play an online VR game. Most of the users are children.) Of course, this was reality prior to Apple entering, so we’ll see what happens in 2025-2027 once Vision has more developers building for it and more units available to everyday people.
go to your local shelters or volunteer organizations and ask them to use it? seems a pretty easy problem to solve. now whether you app will gain traction is hard to say but getting the first few users should be easy since its to help people in need and you are not making money from it when it comes to cash payments,
Order details are discussed between creator and supporter before confirming the order. After the task has been completed, supporter has to confirm it and then the funds are updated. When cash payments are involved, it's about tracking the campaign progress.
Provide a specific example of what you have in mind to further the conversation not just more opining on “dangerous” is my suggestion.
>the AI safety ninnies

I am one of these ninnies I guess, but isn't it rational to be a bit worried about this? When we see the deep effects that social networks have had on society (both good and bad) isn't it reasonable to feel a bit dizzy when considering the effect that such an invention will have?

Or maybe your point is just that it's going to happen regardless of whether people want it or not, in which case I think I agree, but it doesn't mean that we shouldn't think about it...

Dawn supports OpenGL, but that was left out of the blog post.
Needless regulation? If corporations are people, they are psychopaths. Literally. Of course we don't let psychopaths do what they want. As for the individuals working for Apple, we don't do slave labour. Nobody is being forced to do anything.
Just some random guy's anecdote.

I learned both of these simultaneously in two quirky ways.

I learned Go using the "Learn Go with Tests" book
https://quii.gitbook.io/learn-go-with-tests/

I learned Rust through a book called "From JavaScript to Rust"
https://github.com/vinodotdev/node-to-rust/releases/download...

The thing that stood out the most to me while learning these was their focus on composition over inheritance. Even though I really like C-based languages, I have never liked the inheritance push from the 90s-2000s.

I really like some of the things in Go, but overall I felt I just didn't need it. .NET, Java, etc are more mature with comparable or better capabilities across the board. It's just hard for me to justify Go outside of stylistic preference.

I really, really like Rust but ever since learning it almost 2 years ago, I still have not found a single use case for it. It's partially the maturity of the competition, but it's also that even in HPC, ML/DL, etc I've done just fine with the "legacy" stack.

I would love to hear from people what their thoughts are on this. What are some scenarios where you see these languages thriving? What makes you want to use them? What's the best use case? Would love to evolve my thinking.
Debugging JS with vscode is probably the nicest debugging experience I've had, bar maybe C# with the latest VS.
> How often are you setting up queues anyway.

Very infrequently. Even more infrequently as we move to IAC and use terraform or even cloudformation.
If that were true, why isn't every company adopting 4 day work weeks?

I did embed a link to it, but it looks like the start time is lost. I will try to get that put back in.
I wouldn't say that reference counting systems are a "software engineering best practice". Mainly because the engineer is not consciously doing anything themselves. It's not like a builder pattern or something. They are just doing what the compiler wants them to do. In fact, there are many ways to get around the compiler errors that feel like an anti-pattern (like using `.clone()` everywhere).

There are other ways to write safe code than just reference counting systems. And arguably, a software engineer would learn more best practices by managing memory more directly.
I would be surprised if GPT-3 uses 700GB of RAM. It may be true, I don't know. But I am running 70B parameter models (quantized to 5 or 6 bits, biggest is 48GB loaded) on my 64GB Mac M2 Max Studio now and they are usable and the machine is still usable too. With an M2 Ultra and 192GB of RAM I imagine you could do a lot more.

I'm not arguing that these models hold up against GPT 3.5 and I still use GPT 4 when it matters. But they work and it's more like the difference between Premier League & Division 1, rather than PL & a five-a-side team from Bracknell.

Even a few years ago I could not have imagined this.

Given the pace of work on optimisation and my assumption that the M3 Studio I buy next will probably have 256GB of RAM at much the same power levels as I use now, it seems eminently possible it's a year or two away.
Many people don't have experience with AWS or SQS and even those that do will still need to think about it. Deno is taking a batteries included approach which means the Dev can just import something and go. If someone provided equivalent libraries for the cloud then I'm sure people would adopt them. In the case of Deno I'm sure they've identified a common problem many Devs in their ecosystem have and are tackling it by bundling in a good solution.

> Happy Tuesday everybody.

> A couple months ago I was cleaning out my grandfather's workshop and I found this sketchbook from my great grandfather's time at Panam, where he worked as an industrial engineer. I also found a motor-driven Monroe desktop calculator (the thing weighs a ton), which, miraculously, still works (yes, the cable is deteriorating, I need a replacement). Long story short, I unbound the sketchbook and scanned in all the legible pages recently, and have compiled them (with text recognition) into pdfs you can view and download here. I hope you find it's contents as interesting as I do!

No they have not. Studies by motivated parties show in some cases there are diminishing returns.

It's a non-sensical argument. If a 4 day work week is more productive than a 5 day work week it means the 5th days is producing negative work. You could literally do nothing every Friday and you would not be less productive than a 4 day work week.
If something is a repetitive habit that you can do almost without thinking, there is a good chance an AI could infer that entire chain.

I think what's more likely is that an AI based interface will end up being superior after it has had a chance to observe your personal preferences and approach on a conventional UI.

So both will still be needed, with an AI helping at the low end and high end of experience and the middle being a training zone as it learns you.
Ah, the usual flip replies of how you can expect nothing from open source. Software projects, naturally, wanting for neither goodwill nor users.
I concur, web design is great! If the whole user-finding is too daunting or will not work, you can still sell your assets on things like Microfounder or acquire.com.

My first thought was that the service has great overlap with community currencies and LETS systems where people issue social credit for tasks performed. I take that overlap as that the idea is viable when executed superbly, like the web design.

It also reminds me of stuff like https://www.taskrabbit.com/
No, of course you can. Markets are supposed to adapt to changes in demand (and increase supply if physically possible), regardless of the source or reason for the demand. Otherwise, you're then admitting that markets are extremely brittle.

Let's consider another example. Consider that security situation of your country worsens and the government suddenly needs more grenades. So they start to buy them at expense of something else, like school lunches. Are you claiming that the market supply won't try to match the demand?

If it's true, then screw the free market. It's a bad economic system, if it can't do this. The problem is markets are treated as an article of faith rather than tools, so people don't want to admit their shortcomings.
I understand that there will always be people who want to create war for power and profit. Just like there will always be people who push for peace and not destroying the environment (c.f. depleted uranium). I happen to have skills that warmongers would find highly valuable but will not deploy them for military use. I will also advocate for others in our industry to do the same.
Can llama.cpp run this yet? That would be surprising
It might prove difficult if Chris has been at IBM for over 20 years.
I generally disagree. Ideally, sportsmanship is be about appreciating the limits of human abilities. In that sense, the line between competition amongst others and oneself is blurred. Is it so hard to believe that people can compete against each other and also be supportive at the same time? It reminds me of the moon landing and the shared feeling that we, as humans achieved it, not necessarily just the US in its arms face against the Soviets.
Thanks man, design is something that I struggle with as I'm a developer so it took several iterations to create it this way.
> but it certainly got overwhelming. People were inviting me to do stuff nearly every night. I frequently wondered if people just live like that and when they found the time to just do normal alone stuff.

The realization that helped me here is that people don’t think about you as much as you think they do.

So, for example, if you ignore most events, and just join these events once every few weeks, it’s not like people will think any less of you.

I decided to skip a lot more of these events and instead meet smaller groups of friends for last moment smaller hang outs instead. Maybe just grab a 30 min walk after work or grab a coffee or a couple of drinks a weekend morning.

That's the majority of US run companies these days. If it isn't employees with stock grants, the executives themselves have performance bonuses. So doing every long term business killing thing for short term personal profit is status quo.
I like your vision but I do not understand the fundamental proposition here. The creators in the platform are supposed to perform specific tasks to raise money -- That's called "having a job". Essentially the platform is a marketplace to hire part time workers for specific one time tasks. If so, why position it as a campaign to raising funds as if it is some sort of charity.

Is the underlying assumption that creators can charge more on this platform as compared to the usual pay they will get for the same task and in doing so they can raise money faster? If so, I would be highly skeptical of this assumption and validate it rigorously.
It's only over-prescription if the prevalence hasn't changed.

Your friends are 10 years older now than they were a decade ago.

There's more awareness of sleep apnea, and when you look at the risk of treatment vs the risk of it going untreated, things strongly favor throwing a CPAP at a patient.

The other thing that's happened over the last decade is American obesity rates have continued to climb. Overweight is correlated with sleep apnea, so all things equal you'd expect to see a corresponding rise in sleep apnea rates too.
I'm not a business owner or a CEO, and I can say wholeheartedly that I do not believe unions are good for anybody. It's just like rent control that gives renters lower prices but it destroys the supply eventually. Unions that get wage hikes by stomping their feet and yelling in public are not making the economy better. The detriment is that over time, it makes it harder to hire new workers because the union will get all up in your business if you try to fire someone for non performance. Union shops also make it harder for individual workers who stand out to negotiate higher salaries for themselves. On balance I think unions are a big bad.
I have been using the Freestyle Pro for the last 4 years now and it has ended me thinking about keyboards. I was really looking forward to the new super fancy one, but that felt too expensive when I already have one I am happy with it. ~600 Euros in DE when I remember correctly.
There are film studios that are run as cooperatives. They tend to not have a lot of access to capital markets and don't make the kind of bland, inoffensive to Chinese censors nostalgia puffs that bring in a billion dollars globally and fund the Disneys of the world, so the Disneys of the world are still going to employ more writers.
As others have already mentioned, why would someone choose to use your site over a more established site like gofundme or even patreon if they wanted to tie rewards/services to donations?

Who do you envision your target audience to be? Someone who is undergoing a rough patch who is too proud to go on gofundme and has time to spare to work odd jobs? Who do you envision your target audience's target to be? People who would otherwise donate to a given person's gofundme? Strangers who would use the app to exploit desperate people in their local area?

All that being said, if the users on your page are real, then you are undoubtedly impacting real lives, comments be damned. If they're not, well that feels a bit unsavory since it is not explicit that these are false. It could also give people the wrong expectations in terms of potential payout from your platform.
Agree, I almost want to stockpile them in case they ever do stop making them haha
I did consider it, and I think you're exactly right RE the direction I would go into (colored wire, larger pieces, etc). But then I had a bunch of other things happen in life and so I had to put it all on pause.

The world of art (and especially commercial / corporate art) is very foreign to me, but I bet exploring it would be a fun challenge, so I am planning to do that in a few years.
Node is not a language.
You are misreading my argument. I’m saying Facebook is degrading google and openai investor narrative. If Llama cost hypothetical one billion, they inflict a multiple on that on their competitors with this move while gaining massive technological advantages.

The improvements made to llama by open source community people already have propelled it past Bard by many accounts and this is a model that a few months ago was absolutely non competitive and downright bad.

So it’s a win win. I don’t see the problem
How is that non-confrontation approach to politics on getting things done/getting effective decisions made?

Just Devil's Advocate, but in DC we have a confrontational approach and we still get nothing done. Nor do we get any effective decisions made.

My suspicion is that anyone doing anything other than collaborating with each other, is probably not getting anything real done.

I guess I'm just not sure any of what you said is unique to San Fran. Or even if the opposite of what you just said would yield any better results in San Fran. In fact, I'm positive that it won't, because that's not really a San Fran problem. That's the public discourse problem that we've been having in the US nationally for 30 plus years now.
> So why are you saying otherwise?

Because I read the article and the exchange between the maintainer and the OP.

It smacks of entitlement and shows a complete unfamiliarity with the kernel development process. Maybe that's all there is to this but to claim a kernel developer 'robbed' a first time contributor when in fact what happened is exactly what you'd expect to happen makes me wonder about the OPs motives, especially because he materially misrepresented the interaction between himself and the maintainer to make the maintainer look bad. It looks like the credits were the goal, and if they weren't then what's the fuss about?
When imagining future scenarios, maybe don't get too fixated on one? Another possibility is that competitive service providers will implement the same services.

(It didn't really happen with App Engine, but this seems like a cleaner API?)
This reminded me a bit of Oberon OS - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oberon_(operating_system) ...
Comparing to Apple, Amazon margins are thin.
He used it to hold down something on the rear windshield of the car, I cant quite remember.
I've only skimmed most of the comments, but getting old is seriously starting to hit me reading this.

There seems to be a large "old school open source" and "new school Github open source" culture clash here.

This sort of thing wouldn't even make for a 5 minute controversy on IRC back in the day. But I also can see valid points and the expectations developers who grew up in a different era now have. The olden days were certainly not perfect, but neither is the new age.

Certainly going to be interesting times as torches get passed for these huge fundamental open source projects over the next decade or two!
