I get why people can get a bit apprehensive with using AI tools for Pull Requests because of hallucination but this is such a great application and will give it a spin on some of my Django boilerplates to see what it comes up with, congratulations to the team!

My question would be are you using it on your own codebase or an open-source tool you're fond of, would love to see this operating in the wild (examples are great but real life PRs hit different)?
Loss leader and data collection play?

EDIT: it's 100% the razor model, they want the device out there so they own your interaction with "service providers"; i.e. they take a cut of everything to do. Middle men.

We really ought to start thinking about better privacy rights for the dead. Seems like it would make sense to tie it to the privacy of the next of kin, or something similar, but splitting privacy rights amongst multiple people can get weird.

I mean it is a bit strange that copyright is protected decades after someone died, but privacy is pretty much gone the moment someone breathes their last.
They didn't say the SEC did it, they said the SEC was "responsible" for it.

Which may or may not be true, if they were using "password123" then sure that's negligent and they'd bear some of the responsibility, but it might not have been the SEC's fault at all.
JIT compilation is rare in Common Lisp. I wouldn't think that Dylan implementations used JIT compilation.

Apple's Dylan IDE and compiler was implemented in Macintosh Common Lisp (MCL). MCL then was not a part of the Dylan runtime.

I would think that Open Dylan (the Dylan implementation originally from Harlequin) can also generate LLVM bitcode, but I don't know if that one can be JIT executed. Possibly...
The AI runs on their cloud. It's unfortunate but the industry is only starting to catch onto on-device models language models.
Israel has made some progress in shooting down drones with lasers (see Drone Dome) as well as mortar bombs and artillery shells (see Iron Beam) and IIUC both systems are mobile. Given that we don't hear about them being used right now in either Israel or Ukraine I assume they aren't actually ready for deployment, but maybe in a few years?

> Nobody wants to be mediocre

Wanting to be mediocre and enjoying being mediocre are different. League of Legend players want to be amazing. I don't think it makes them enjoy the game.

I feel like wanting to enjoying yourself and wanting to win competitions are two completely different drives that are even antagonistic.
And unfortunately in doing so, which is where my point really was, continue the Chromification of the internet... this seems to be counter to the theme of what they set out to do
> But it is very sensible for it to not be the focus.

Sure. I mean devs can do whatever they want. But the package is a few years old now and they do frequently advertise, so I don't think it makes make it more approachable for... you know... noobs.

This is a bit difficult of a conversation too, because you've moved the goal post. I've always held the context of noob, but now you've shifted to just be dismissive of noobs. Totally fine, but different from the last comment.

> But the place to expect to learn about those things is the many articles, tutorials, courses, and books on the subject, not the website of one specific new tool in the space.

I actually disagree. This is the outsourcing I expressed previously, but it's clear from the number of complaints that this is not sufficient for a novice. You do seem passionate about this issue, and so maybe you have the opportunity to fill that gap. But I very much think that official documentation is supposed to be the best place. Frankly because it is written by the people who have a full understanding of the system and how it all integrates together. I'm sure you've run into tons of Medium tutorials that get the job done but are also utter garbage and misinform users. It isn't surprising when most of these are written by those in the process of learning, and are better than nothing, but they are entirely insufficient. The whole point of creating a library is to save people time. That time includes onboarding. For example of good docs, I highly recommend the vim docs. Even man pages are often surprisingly good.
recipes are the worst, I've resorted to just printing them out on physical paper, stapling them, and keeping the good ones in a manilla folder. lol it works surprisingly well actually, that folder is a very fast MRU cache or in reverse order an LRU cache.
Not even low-tier in 2024. Money is scarce. I can think of some very big newspapers that will include articles for cash these days. You can find contacts to get this done for you in certain forums :)
> Python is also much easier to learn than, say, Rust

I don't doubt it, but learning is only the first step to using a technology for a series of projects over years or even decades, and that step doesn't last that long.

People report being able to pick up Rust in a few weeks and being very productive. I was one of them, if you already got over the hill that was C++ then it sounds like you would be too. The point is that you and your team stay that productive as the project gets larger, because you can all enforce invariants for yourselves rather than have to carry their cognitive load and make up the extra slack with more testing that would be redundant with types.

Outside of maybe a 3 month internship, when is it worthwhile to penalize years of software maintenance to save a few weeks of once-off up-front learning? And it's not like you save it completely, writing correct Python still takes some learning too, e.g. beginners easily get confused about when mutable data structures are silently being shared and thus modified when they don't expect it. People who are already very comfortable with Python forget this part of their own learning curve, just like people very comfortable with Rust forget their first borrow check header scratcher.

I never made a performance argument in this thread so I'm not sure why 0.01 or 0.1 seconds matters here. Even the software that got you into a commercial market has to be maintained once you get there. Ask Meta how they feel about the PHP they're stuck with, for example.
So im guessing you feel like tesla shouldn’t be taken seriously as well?
One of the best ones of the series if you ask me, and a true insight into the role of human grief.

It's also is an eerily accurate prediction of things now (about 10 years after release) very much possible.
The value preposition here seems pretty weak. AI voice assistants are, in my experience, one of the worst ways to interact with a computer. What does this device offer that I can't already do on my cell phone?
This is half a joke, but maybe there is demand for a vehicle for speculation that isn't tied to anything real, at all.

It achieves some sort of purity of concept. Plenty of people _gamble_ on the stock market but there has always been some sort of link to reality. With crypto, you can cut that tether and really treat it like gambling, rigged odds and all.

Tomorrow your bank could cut you off from your own money because you protested the government[1], and what could you possibly do?

Having the freedom to truly own your own money and investments is valuable in and of itself, no matter how much crypto "devolves" towards traditional finance in other regards.

It's the "it makes it easier" part that I am debating. Yes buying into a gold ETF is obviously easier because going out and buying physical gold takes more effort. But for a bitcoin ETF you are trading two clicks on one site vs two clicks on another. And in the ETF case you don't actually get to own any Bitcoin. So where's the advantage?

Different applications will be more relatable to different developers. And that is the path we are going down, of steadily building up more and more examples of applying Rama towards different use cases. Some developers will get their light-bulb moment on a compare/contrast to a shopping cart, others vs. a time-series analytics app, etc. It's completely different for different developers, so building up that library of examples will take time. At the moment, we're focused on our private beta users who are technically savvy enough to be able to understand Rama through the first principles on which it's based.

We started with a Twitter demonstration because: a) its implementation at scale is extremely difficult, b) I used to work there and am intimately familiar with what they went through on the technical end, and c) the product is composed of tons of use cases which work completely differently from each other – social graph, timelines, personalized follow suggestions, trends, search, etc. A single platform able to implement such diverse use cases with optimal performance, at scale, and in a comparatively tiny amount of code is simply unprecedented.
Yeah the "OS" appears to be their backend that boils down to your login credentials + something like Selenium WebDriver + ChatGPT. The R1 device is just a thin client.
I got blocked exactly the same way you describe when designing the memory chips in NAND to Tetris. I eventually had to see the answer for that one and it turned out that I wasn't that off of the solution but I never understood the working syntax:

What I was doing:

Mux(a=out, b=in, sel=load, out=muxOut)
DFF(in=muxOut, out=DFFOut)

and last line should had been:

DFF(in=muxOut, out=DFFOut, out=out)

Nevertheless, Turing Complete seems to be the perfect companion to it. Wish I could independently purchase it, though it only seems available from Steam.

Just because it’s obviously a con, doesn’t negate the possibility of get rich quick outcomes for blockchain participants. Human beings are quite well known for being easily suckered into lazy profit opportunities, and for rationalizing away complex ethical concerns when complicit in suckering others. Otherwise pyramid schemes would never work.
I'm short "crypto," but long bitcoin.

Most of the ecosystem is scammy garbage, but I think there's still going to be enough demand for sound money that a currency that can't be artificially manipulated by a central bank will do well, relative to currencies that can.

Perhaps I'll be wrong, but that's why I'm not heavily leveraged and I hedge my bets.

I don't think the entire ecosystem is garbage. I do think there are a few useful ideas other than bitcoin. But I can easily support the assertion that more than 99% of the "crypto" things that exist are worthless and/or outright scams.
I suspect as time goes on we'll see more and more of this become direct through optimization. My understanding is that this already happens for certain well-known methods, like if you import Math.sin or something V8 is going to optimize it to a direct call when it compiles the Wasm module that imports it. And maybe a non-JS interface will emerge, but there needs to be some kind of layer that preserves capability security. You wouldn't want any and every Wasm module to have access to the entire browser API. You will still want the ability to omit capabilities, attenuate them, etc. and for that a full programming language seems necessary and well... JS is already there.
The thing is, everyone already knew that child and human trafficking is a big issue in this world. No one needed to wade through the cesspool to find that out. But 4chan doesn't actually give a damn about the kids. They got obsessed with phantom sex cults under pizzerias and decoding gematria in emails because they wanted to undermine Hillary Clinton's election and because they got completely washed by actual non-ironic nazis who believe all "leftists" in power (IE the Democratic Party) are pedophiles because they equate LGBT with pedophilia and, by extension, Democratic support for the former with a likely predilection for the other.

And then they came up with QAnon, not out of any sincere concern for "the children," but just as a shitpost that took off because it was too on the nose, and now legitimate efforts to curb child abuse are being hamstrung by this insane obsession they've bred into the zeitgeist to see trans people as "groomers" and secret pedo conspiracies everywhere.

And yet, even though they'll gladly take credit for it, none of them saw Epstein coming. Sure, one anon posted about Epstein's death before it hit the news. That's about all they can legitimately take credit for, but overall they've done more harm than good.
> what's the point of keeping individual commits from years ago? It's not as if you'd cherry pick anything from back then.

If you extend the logic, what's the point of keeping any commits from years ago? What's a good cut off date to just start discarding history? Rewriting it?

But in the same breath, what's the point of cloning commits from years ago? It's not as if you'd cherry pick anything from back then. And that's my point, the former requires an org decision and active action, and the other is a blobless clone. The nice thing about the blobless clone is you can always change your mind, you can get old blobs if you find you need it. But if you threw out old commits, and you need them later... that's the brakes.
Yes, but that’s your family where you write books. If you’re a nerd that makes eink displays of photos, I bet their family appreciates their children just as much as your father appreciates you. The nice thing about eink for this is once your family member eventually unplugs or somehow disconnects the device from the network; it’ll continue to display the last photo.
oh I meant these days on gta online. I had checked last year or so and it was still pretty terrible with frequent drops etc.

Is that why I see much object serialization/deserialization in Java?

They're trying to pass data between layers of middleware, but Java has very strict typing, and the middleware doesn't know what kind of object it will get, so it has to do tons of type introspection and reflection to do anything with the data?
I have a shitty Whirpool fridge. It has taught me a few others:

- If a product offers a warranty, it will be a pain in the ass to claim against it

- A lifetime warranty is only true for creative interpretations of “lifetime”

- The limits of any limited warranty are well before any condition that requires a warranty claim

- if a product is going to break, it will do so no less than 1 day and no more than 90 days after your warranty expires

- If service is provided in fulfillment of some warranty agreement, it will not be provided on terms that accommodate your schedule.

- Corollary 1: the service technician will invariably need to reschedule last minute to an even less accommodating time

- Corollary 2: when the service technician arrives, they will invariably inform you that they lack other the parts or expertise to resolve the issue
Since the CEO was directly informed, it'll be interesting mapping out the web of finger pointing that results.
All that holds back AGI is probably not the volume of data. We're still missing key discoveries.

But giving an LLM loads of data might turn out to have been a necessary condition on the road to developing AGI.
Teenage Engineering is always like this. The hardware looks really cool (aesthetically I mean; no value judgment on quality or such) but they seem to have looked at Apple presentations and though those are not pretentious enough.
That's because the vast majority of people don't care about what the other vast majority think or say. Social media only works because algorithms push provocative content. Otherwise nobody would find it worth the time.
My first exposure to "real" computers was with Victor machines. I may well have one in a pile somewhere still. I worked for a shop that was a Victor dealer, they had the fabled "PC compatible floppy drive" in a machine there. Later I was one of the few people with a PC that could read Victor disks; Copy2PC card For Tha Win there.

They did "high memory" and iirc had slightly higher resolution text modes, which made them wonderful for spreadsheets.

The "keynote" (is that what we're calling advertising videos now?) was pretty awful, and I'm unconvinced that making people unable to even use smartphones (which has already supplanted computer literacy for most) is progress.

Extra negative taste points for wanting a "cool SUV" for a trip to London.
I believe the argument is that it makes it easier for institutions like fund managers and businesses because they don't need to be concerned with custodianship.

I'm really looking forward to this after reading all 3 books a few years ago. I tried to watch the Chinese TV version last year but lost interest.
What "chants" are you referring to specifically re differences in markets? AFAIK it has always been pushed as a decentralized alternative to sending money, but that has little bearing on the way the traded price changes?
Yea I didn't want to watch the video and had no idea what it was, my best guess was it was a quirky non-smart phone, never occurred to me it might be a "companion device" whatever that is exactly.

I think the intended audience is really anyone and everyone. It’s a very grand vision.

I definitely see the appeal. I do not like owning and using a smartphone. A more functional device with a pared back interface is exactly what I would want, and I think they’re _is_ a decent slice of people out there who agree. You see that in the dumb phone and minimalist phone market that’s popped up.

That said my experiences with LLMs are that they are woefully underbaked for this kind of thing, and it’s a really tough sell to me on a privacy basis as well.

But for older folks I’m not sure I agree that the market is missed. I suspect the idea would be that you would manage the web portion for your grandfather and then he can just chat to the device. Unclear if it can make calls though, that does seem like a miss!
This is exactly why official agencies should have their own mechanismm of public communication, and not rely on 3rd party corporate chat platforms...

How the FED, SEC, and any government office thought having a faceplant or twit account was good idea is beyond me...

Of course, those who throw themselves gushingly at every corporate slime to crawl out from under a rock will have a hard time understanding this opinion. That is also part of the problem...
>This is highly unlikely. India has a geography that more or less ensures that it's going to be a big player in its region, but it relies on imports too much for its industry and is hemmed in too much by its geography/neighbors that super power status is not likely anytime soon.

Highly unlikely? It's literally the case already, technically. I wasn't being nostradamus exactly, it's just a matter of china's collapse vs india's highs. Which is at the moment about 2008 levels of collapse, very near to asian financial crisis levels. Which is probably a few weeks away, maybe 1 month at most.

China's fault, nothing they can do to fix it at this point. Seizing Taiwan has to happen pretty damned soon if they want to make it work out.

India does have a main problem of it being surrounded by enemies.

Japan is going to be flying high on china's collapse as well, great news for Japan soon.

>Why would it have to go hot? Nuclear war isn't going to happen without existential stakes for either side and a conventional war would be extremely difficult to wage with the Himalayas in the way. In fact, that is in part why China annexed Tibet so that India couldn't sneak in a forward position on the other side, but it doesn't make a Chinese invasion of India that much easier.

They seem to be making due in the ladakh region. Major highway to nowhere with major AA... it's clear where it's heading which is why China has invaded them a few times. Makes total sense why China has invaded India multiple times now.

Not to mention... xinjiang genocide... if you believe that anyway.

Flipside, China has about 100million incels they need to kill off. Every single time in history when there's too many incels, they are sent off to die in war.

Nuclear war won't likely occur. They'll keep the fighting to the rural west and we'll see where the lines move long before nukes are used.

Meanwhile, punjabs are fleeing to north america in droves to avoid the inevitable. We benefit greatly.
I’ll admit it has been deeply entertaining watching the crypto community speed-run 200 years of “finding out the hard way why modern financial regulations exist” and “how to recognize a blisteringly obvious ponzi scheme” in the span of 15 years.

I say this as someone who got his first 0.05 btc for signing up for a newsletter in 2009 or 2010.
Maybe. That'd be interesting I suppose. Those Meta smart glasses do look more usable than anything on the market previously. Maybe because they omit screens.

Perhaps at some point technology will allow glasses to have screens that are functional without making you look like, as they called them ten years ago, a Glasshole. Ten years may be enough time.
It wasn't okay. I don't think you're responding to someone who is pro-war.

Strawman aside, do you think sanctions are fine? How can we ensure they're consistently applied to belligerent countries like the US? Because if random citizens need to suffer in order to "stop Putin's war machine" I have some terrible news for my fellow Americans. And it would be nice to have a space for that conversation while our state department manufactures consent for the next n proxy wars
Who cares about $25bn?

These guys hacked the SEC, made huge announcement tweet, and only got a 3% move from that. More over, they only had a 10 minute window to close whatever positions they had before BTC crashed through it's pre-hack price.

There is a fair chance that they actually lost money on this play, lol.
That's why I just ordered one. I don't know how it'll turn out, but for the price I'm willing to have a beautiful little fidget toy to play with.
