Haha, what's funny there is the idea that if they paid the VP less maybe it would be worth this time to engage with his employees.

I know it's unfair compared to a human but I'm more interested in how much it can do. Like what level of leetcode problems can it solve and how well does it use concepts presented in the few shot applications. The whole point is to establish an upper limit on it's generalization power instead of comparing it to a human
Tokio's default scheduler is multi-threaded, and Rust does this very well. You just have to be explicit when you want to run some non-async blocking code in a way that won't block a thread.

I'm really surprised your benchmark shows gpt-3.5-turbo-0301 outperforming gpt-4 (non tubo) on first try coding problems.
FWIW I have a pair of pros that crapped out around the same time, 14ish months and the mics weren't working - apple replaced them free (but not the charger) and they've gone another year or so now without issue. Obviously YMMV.
Damn I linked the wrong paper lol.

Meant to link this. More pertinent to my point on Tokenization https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.02989
Netflix is probably the _only_ company I can think of where that range is defensible.
Tokio does sync I/O in the background with dedicated I/O threads if memory serves. (it is sync in the sense it does syscalls, which are pushed to a dedicated thread).
Well that's true. I admit I didn't read the original article before posting and was thinking more of "Hm, I used to watch a lot of stuff on Netflix and now there just isn't anything that seems worth my time" as opposed to looking at the financial performance of those companies.
Loom is very new, and Java on the desktop is almost dead. Even though virtual threads could be useful for GUI programming, I don't expect significant innovation in that area. But the upcoming Structured Concurrency[0] and Scoped Values[1] JEPs make things hopefully easier.

Great your point of view, it certainly gives me more ideas, because if we are focusing a lot on having a development environment, but the vision you have is literally what every developer would like to have, so that gives me an idea to start implementing these additional things.

Sound localizing. I was intensely passionate about it when I saw the possibility to do it well on a Raspberry Pi. There were quite a few more problems than so expected which is why it took five months (of weekends) to complete it well.

But I’m super happy with the result and have a bunch of geeks with recording nodes setup a long distance apart. Localizing large explosions show that it’s possible to localize to a carpets even when some of the nodes are almost 5 away.

For those interested, here is the project:

It's very common to state 'bring solutions or shut up' but that is just a way to stop the conversation short. I made a valid contribution, pointing out that knee-jerk "tough on crime" responses to news of criminal behavior is not only naive but counter productive. I don't have to provide a fix for a deeply complex issue - class relations - to point out that grabbing the pitchfork is a reaction that is expected of the populace and used by the elites to keep us down.

What we should do, in my opinion, instead of crying out for tougher enforcement of laws, is to acknowledge that anti social behavior is a socialization issue, not a criminal issue. Punishment is self serving - I want to feel like those who exploit our good nature suffer for it. Cultivating higher morals is hard and won't change statistics overnight. But a world without corruption is a world without greed, not a world with harsh punishment for those caught stepping out of the line.

Very simply, by not requiring Intel or AMD to produce the hardware to implement the isa.

It's true, but irrelevant, that you can't trust a risc-v cpu from Intel any more than an x86 cpu from Intel.

But I think the bulk of x86 and amd64 patents have expired since the 90's already, so I think you could have other suppliers designing and fabricating x86_64 royalty-free and open-source today just as well, and risc-v is particularly interesting at least as much for the simpler start-over design as for the pure unencumbered ip.
Is Yahoo still Yahoo? Didn't Yahoo! have like a bunch of stocks in Alibaba, worth more than their actual business? So they sold the online "stuff" to Verizon and Yahoo Inc. became Altaba.

Through it's history Yahoo! had the opportunity to buy a lot of successful companies, but they lacked the foresight to do so and trusted too much in their existing business. For a brief period they did manage to attract really talented people though.
What makes Rust great is that its design drew upon decades of understanding of programming language theory and practice, and the designers took bold decisions based on that understanding to avoid the mistakes of other programming languages.

The problem with async Rust is that the async idiom is new, and its interactions with the rest of the software ecosystem not particularly well understood. This makes async support glaringly different from the rest of the language.

I'm glad the designers seem to be taking a step back and reconsidering how everything fits together.

I never understood those annual release cycles anyway. Too artificial, too forced. Great for marketing hype, accumulating bugs, and missing out on documentation. Bad for quality.
You're using the idea of "all of human knowledge" differently in the two places it appears, and the gap in those definitions weakens the claim a bit.

LLMs are trained on a tiny subset of the written human knowledge which we've proven to probably not be garbage and which is nicely formatted in simple text formats and which was published without too many paywalls on the web and on and on and on. It's a lot, and it definitely includes enough facts that no one person knows all the things the LLM "knows", but the average child knows plenty of things which never made it into that sort of a corpus. Yes, it's probably true that the vast majority of humans are also not pushing the frontier of human knowledge forward, but the vast majority of humans are working with a slightly different (partially overlapping) set of information than what the LLMs see.

This is talked about peripherally in How Big Things Get Done.

If you are a construction crew in Great Britain, you have an archaeologist on staff. Someone who is already recognized by the governmental agencies responsible for the Heritage rules for that jurisdiction. So you have one on staff who can swoop in at the first pottery shard and expedite an extraction or declare a detour.

And if you are a construction company, you realize that you can find multiple sites in the same month on different projects. So you have every other archaeologist in your contact list on retainer, so you can get one in as backup.

Not quite the same situation here, but it shows that people who want to GSD have ways to do it when governments are involved.
I genuinely don't understand the problems people have with async code... at least for anything involving http/api requests it's largely just a matter of decorating stuff with 'async/await'. It makes a few things difficult (iterators with futures, ugh), but mostly it's easy.
That would be author of the article.
There isn't any reason to stop there, except that we simply haven't gone beyond it yet, except for the EU to some degree.

Absolutely nothing stops a planet-level democracy, except that you've got to get all of the existing countries to democratically choose to join it first. Which is a gigantic historical undertaking that might happen someday, or might never happen at all.

But if you're asking why stop there now, in 2023, it's because a planetary democratic body simply doesn't exist. While countries do.

You're objectively incorrect in that opinion. They just reported 247M global paid memberships. Highest they've ever had.
Please don't pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Find something interesting to respond to instead. [...] Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—e.g. article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. They're too common to be interesting.

The trouble with such 'side notes' is they end up eating the thread and are effectively completely unrelated to the thing being presented.

I am not concerned with 100%s that is impossible, what I am concerned with is negligence within the industry. That's why it would be up to a review, if found guilty then applicable recourse is delt. I can't say what is right/wrong. And maybe nothing could have prevented this, but that doesn't mean it should just be a flyer on grocery stores. There needs to be reasonings and data collected to prevent it from happening again and prevent companies that don't care about you or me from running over us.
> How is someone supposed to reasonably negotiate that role?

I don't think I fully understand this question. When I apply for a position, I already know what my minimum salary requirement is, and I negotiate based on that. Any published salary range doesn't affect that, except that if my minimum is above their maximum, then I know not to bother applying.

I feel that's what missing from Google Maps is an analysis of the driving difficulty. Last month I was driving across Europe, where we were driving all day, doing close to 1000km per day. Where there wasn't a direct highway connection, it would quite often suggest going through local roads, which more often than not, had just one lane each way.

If there is an option that involves more highway driving for only 5 or 10 minutes more, I'd rather take that, as it's going to require a lot less mental energy to drive along that, than a narrow windey road I've never been along before. Sometimes the alternative routes suggest that, but most of the time I had to just look at the map and figure it out myself, then create a route from A to B via C to see it's only going to add 10 minutes to this 3 hour leg.

Toll roads are another fun thing. When driving through France from Switzerland to Normandy, the most direct route would have resulted in close to €50 of toll fees. We ended up driving half an hour more via Belgium (where fuel is cheaper too), on a highway that had no toll fees.
doesn't the long tail just need to be a little outside the range of human capability for it to be AGI?
I believe that without.boats (or somebody of similar prominence) proposed that pollster (https://docs.rs/pollster/latest/pollster/) or a similar async executor be pulled into std.

I think it's a great idea. By blessing something that's not tokio you give a good incentive for library authors to test against more than one executor. And by being so far from fully featured pollster is never going to "win" so blessing it doesn't appoint a winner. And it gives an obvious solution for what people who don't want to use async in their code but do want to pull in an async library should do.

Just noting for the sake of countering this narrative that async rust is fundamentally broken that I feel the same way as you, having been working with async rust professionally for 2.5 years.
How is pointing out that police oversight boards are not always robust or independent an argument against the position that robust, independent police oversight boards are a good thing?

The example that you give is important because it shows what we have to fight against to get robust and independent police oversight boards. But the fact that it is possible to fail doesn't mean that we shouldn't try.

Each was encrypted before and after. The keys were stored securely and retrieved temporarily and then rotated I think. It’s a process I wasn’t 100% privy too as I was too junior.
On one hand? Yes.

On the other - real estate/physical locations are the one thing that fundamentally is limited and where distance and control really, really matter for a specific outcome or circumstance to exist.

Rural Idaho, little/no competition, no need for heavy rules to avoid it turning into complete anarchy.

Manhattan? Completely different story.

And there is only one manhattan (and only one of any given spot in rural Idaho, too, but a lot of any given spots).

The way these things tend to work in the cities is heavy rules, and then you have to apply for exceptions. Often, the rules are ‘no, you can’t build without an exception’.

So then, it’s all about making a good case you need an exception. The ‘benefits to the community’ is the ‘bribe’ as to why your good case should get the exception.

It’s hard to see what the alternative is, frankly, when you look at the on the ground reality - there is rarely a rule anyone could write that wouldn’t cause massive problems if applied naively in these dense environments.

And if the people living somewhere want to reduce/avoid certain types of problems, what else are they going to do?

And someone can say ‘fuck ‘em, they don’t get to say no’ - but most people saying that will very much change their tune when they’re on the other end of the bargain.
Just because we can be genuinely creative in some way doesn't mean that having access to data doesn't make it easier.
You could do something really quick-and-dirty. Write the code into sequential sectors, put a sentinel value in the last sector to indicate the code ends. It wouldn't be at all good for in-place editing but it would be easy to load and parse the code.

Sounds like that happened a long time ago, my condolences. Non-competes don't mean shit and 99% of them in CA are illegal these days unless you are extremely high up (having 6 managers between you and a VP doesn't seem to satisfy that).

Hope you did it anyway. No one should be able to tell you what you can do in your spare time.
A lot of 'technical copying' actually is permitted by EU laws or US Fair use arguments. Think of browsing, caching, scraping, indexing, etc.

AI companies argue that insofar as they are copying, they are only making ephemeral technical copies.
This one makes sense, providing local British context. I think it is helpful here.

But usually it seems like they are used to claim superiority. "As a <identity politics tribe member>, this is why my perspective is more important than yours and you are wrong."
If someone (in this case Google + RE developer, but it's irrelevant who specifically) was going to build these additional units but decided not to based off the economics, then it's hard to see how the issue here was zoning or NIMBYism.
Tumblr is not NSFW content friendly, which is a slippery slope. I don't want my edgy meme taken down or censored, I would much rather run my own server that I control and having it not subject to arbitrary value judgements about what I post.
I for sure hope that Rust gets at least the safety aspect right :) I could endure a lot of suffering if I knew that concern to be taken care of.

There's no actual rule that says we have to stack every human being in the country in Silicon Valley. Software engineering in particular is a business that lends itself being done from anywhere.

"virtue signal" is incredibly hand wavy
On one hand, I agree that on the surface, this looks complex, if you don't read it.

But on the other hand, just read the code. It's not complex.

You drill down into a tokio namespace. You make a builder object. You unwrap it. This is idiomatic Rust. It's verbose, but explicit is better than vague. There's no conditional logic. There's no weird type-fu. No macros. There's not even any parameters to supply, other than the Future to block on.

It's trivial to write a wrapper to go from chained methods a helper call.
I'm Italian, and my maternal grandfather was a "numismatist trader" (commerciante di numismatica). He made pretty good money in the '70s, when the field had a short-lived boom, but in short: don't ever do it for the money, the field is full of sharks that will happily part you from much-more-modern currency. Valuations are often pulled from thin air, even the most official-looking ones, and things that are supposed to be rare because of age (say, a Roman coin) end up being anything but - because they were coined in massive numbers.

As for supporting grave robbers: that's unlikely, unless you actually live in the Middle East (where the practice is still relatively easy to carry out). You can easily look at it in the opposite way: a lot of those countries will never have the interest or money to properly look after minor artefacts; so you might as well try to preserve things for them.

In terms of what to do with hoards like this one, it really depends on laws of the country - afaik in Italy they can't be sold to the public, they are automatically State property and that's it.
I agree this is a natural thing to try. Given I have not seen anyone report success with this, I lean towards thinking this doesn't actually work reliably (or the entire community is asleep at the wheel).
> Not sure why, progress used to be way faster years ago.

Yes, and the language was qualified as unstable for evolving so quickly. Move fast and people complain, move slow and people complain. They lose both ways.

I find the development cycle to be quite good: they ship features and improvements and refinement, and I don't need to rewrite my codebase every three months because something subtly broke.
... sure, but it's not like ZP owns the format of fast-paced, 5 minute video game reviews full of dick jokes
I think that they aren't available for purchase because there is no market of police departments who want to adopt them. If a police department is willing to buy the product, I'm sure that entrepreneurs can be found who are willing to build it.
Tried a bunch of mostly cheap options and all had issues. Over the ears will press on my glasses, or heat up my ears, or block too much outside sound... Cheapish Plantronics were mostly perfect but had some crackling when I connected the USB.

Currently using Airpods Pro for meetings where I'm mostly listening, with great noise cancelling, or wired Apple earphone for 1-1s with no noise around, which make me feel more present than the Airpods.

I don't actually have any complains about the basic earphone - I get feedback from my voice back, doesn't heat, can use for hours, etc.

TBH I wanted to enjoy a more expensive, great looking solution but it doesn't work for me. (Just reminded that I even tried a Bose for a few hours and returned)
What are you talking about? Sure you can focus on the state level if you want instead of country-level, but there's still plenty of room for federal policy that supersedes state/local policy.

So it very much is how it works, but there are technical questions about how much and in which areas.

As for migration, I don't have the slightest idea what you're talking about. Most countries don't have a federal structure to begin with, including most democracies.
> If it turns out that there's an undiscovered recessive gene for lead hyperaccumulation in the cinnamon tee and that tragedies like this are how it gets discovered

That's not what happens though, lead poisoning in spices is ~always shady actors adding pigment that's lead-heavy to make the spice (for example, cinnamon, turmeric, ground ginger, paprika) appear more vibrant in color. The Indian government did a whole bunch of work to fight against this a few years back; ultimately it's suppliers trying to adulterate their product to save money and make it look better than it is. This should absolutely be a serious crime, on the level of intentionally shipping any other dangerous product: jail time for executives, huge financial penalties for companies.
I tend to believe that a moral compass is a made-up social invention. Children don't have it. We have to teach them these made up rules, how you should feel when you do something against those rules, etc. We ingrain it deep into you much like how religion is ingrained deep into young people, so that by the time you are an adult that's all you know, and it seems to work well, most people never even second guess these things.
Sure, and if evidence turns up that they consciously chose to put lead into food they might even face serious charges but I sudd as kept this will turn out to be more along the lines of not doing enough to figure out why their cinnamon supplier could be so cheap or doing less testing because they hadn’t seen any problems so far. Once you’re at that level you’re going to need a lot of firing squads…
