So, the reason Rust took the direction it did is that a lot of people want a language specifically like this, while there were already plenty of languages roughly in the ballpark Graydon wanted. I don't have a clear use for one of those languages, I might use it in some cases anyway, but I was compelled by Rust, it's more or less exactly what I needed.

I can have a proper type system like an ML, and touch the metal like C? Yes please.
That's not the only outcome: what doesn't kill you can also leave you diminished or disabled, and may try again.
it is almost entirely the LLM. I can see this in action by typing a response on my computer instead of using my phone/watch, which bypasses Whisper and Piper entirely.

your approach would work, but I really like the creativity of having the LLM generate the whole thing. it feels much less robotic. 8 seconds is bad, but not quite unusable.
The only similar game I've played is Infinifactory, but it's a series of puzzles and you don't have one giant factory which you develop continuously.

Satisfactory is more similar to Factorio. It's a 3D game with nice graphics, and there aren't monsters trying to destroy your factory.

These should both be perfectly fine for a 12-year-old, but I'm not sure about a kid as young as 5. Infinifactory can certainly be quite challenging even for adults.
I have been using Multipass [0] for a while and it works great to quickly spin up an Ubuntu environment on my MacBook. It supports cloud config in case you want a custom instance.

It seems to be limited to running Ubuntu instances only (at least, I haven't figured out how to run other Linux instances) but if you want a quick clean Ubuntu VM I would recommend it.

I recently rewatched Villeneuve's Dune in addition to reading the books for the first time (after being a long-time fan of Lynch's take) and I kept thinking a TV series is what it needs. It's hard to imagine it following on from Villeneuve's film given they've dropped so much from the books although I think it can be done. What would be incredible is a Rings of Power-style big budget TV adaptation which would make room for adapting the more fantastical stuff from the sequels as well.
Feels a lot like old school CORBA - quoting from the paper: “Components may be hosted by different OS processes (perhaps across many machines). Component method invocations turn into remote procedure calls where necessary, but remain local procedure calls if the caller and callee component are in the same process.”

What is old is new again

When we first got Internet at home (also Germany), it was ISDN, but only single channel. So being connected meant not being reachable by phone. That meant my mom strictly limited our Internet access to 1-2 hours a day. I was so glad when we finally got that second channel :D
The problem with peer-review is not the process itself, but that “peer-reviewed paper” is widely treated as if it meant “known scientific truth”.
There are two sides to that. Once you start running a project by committee you will find all sorts of odd features winding their way through the system. Politicking has as much influence as technical merit when it comes to new proposals.

I've glanced through that material, and I still think it is all obvious. It just wouldn't have worked any earlier than when the results started coming out. If they'd tried these techniques in the 50s it'd have been computationally impossible. If they try them in 2020 they're computationally trivial.

These results would have all started to happen at about the time the cost of computation was within reach of the researcher's budgets. The "theoretical" breakthroughs are of the form "we can implement this technique from the 60s and get good results". Which is impressive, but it does not represent breakthroughs of knowledge as much as incremental improvements in hardware crossing key thresholds. The breakthrough is detecting that hardware can make something work now.

In Denmark there's a loophole to the regulation.

The opt-out rule requires that what is wanted to be marketed to a customer is corresponding products or services to what they have bought.

There are four basic conditions to be able to make use of the opportunity to
market products without consent to existing customers. All four conditions must be fulfilled, cf. the Marketing Act § 10, subsection 2:

1) During a previous purchase, the customer has himself provided his email to the vendor,

2) The customer must be informed that the email may be used for advertising in the future,

3) The customer must have the opportunity to opt out of email marketing/advertising on it time when the email was disclosed to the vendor, and

4) The customer must have the opportunity to opt out of receiving email marketing at all times subsequent inquiries from the vendor.

"Corresponding products" are defined as:

- It must be products that the vendor itself sells.

- There must be a connection between the first purchase and the subsequent purchases marketed products, but the products do not have to be identical.

- Corresponding "product groups" are covered by the option.
Postmortem analysis is coming. We're currently resolving the issue :)
Cloudflare WAF doesn't block clients in general, it blocks based on the data the client sends to the server.

Unless your client sends a string which matches one of the WAF patterns the site will work fine. It only blocks individual requests.

Now the problem here is that you probably shouldn't enable the WAF without having it in log only mode for a while if you are operating a site which let's users submit arbitrary text input. Of course it's going to match... You'll have to adjust the configuration.

I'm guessing it's a sufficient condition, bit not a necessary one. I.e, a could be using Cloudflare's WAF with a SSL cert issued by somebody else.
Great article - captures my understanding and sentiments exactly.

There's nothing wrong with technology. But if the whole emphasis is extractive, taking from those with only a little power and wealth, for the benefit of those who have the abilities to constructs world-spanning businesses, this is entirely dystopian.

Eg - who wants privacy? Everyone. But, if you have governments and businesses acting in tandem to force everyone to be de-anonymised, this is dystopian.

Alternative eg - people talk about what happened to the early internet - well it is all sandboxed now, in extractive corporate sites eg facebook, snapchat, insta, etc.

Its hard to see too, because the plan is unfolding over decades - incrementalism towards dystopia is the name of the game, apparently.

I assume you mean not just the aesthetics, but the entire UI/UX, and I agree. Calibre is a very powerful and capable app, hindered by its unintuitive and clunky UI.
I'm not aware of any detailed write-ups. Mostly gathered information bit by bit.

On a high level here is how it is working for us:

0. When voice assistant device (ESP32) starts, it establishes web-socket connection to the server.
1. ESP32 chip is constantly running wake-word detection (there is one provided out-of-the-box by ESP-IDF framework (by Expressif)
2. Whenever a wake-word is detected (we trained a custom one, but you can use the ones provided by ESP), chip starts sending audio packets to the backend via web-sockets.

3. Backend collects all audio frames until there is a silence (using voice activity detection in Python). As soon as the instruction is over, tell the device to stop listening and:

4. Pass all collected audio segments to speech detection (using python with custom wav2vec). This gives us the text instruction.

5. Given a text instruction, you could trigger locally llama.cpp (or vLLM, if you have a GPU) or call remote API. It all depends on the system. We have a chain of LLM pipelines and RAG that compose our "business logic" across a bunch of AI skills. What's important - there is a text response in the end.

6. Pass the text response to speech-to-text model on the same machine, stream output back to the edge device.

7. Edge device (ESP32) will speak the words or play MP3 file you have sent the url to.

Does this help?
Not sure. Luddites knew a craft; most of the people ‘employed’ in the gig economy lack knowledge and real skills.

The luddites are also what happens when a group of people who have a historical corner on a market revolt.

IN the end the luddites were skilled labor (the gig economy for the most part isn't). They were being displaced by mass production. Something that happens over and over again (bricks, files, pots...). Industrialization led to us all having enough free time for vacations, the internet and hacker news. The price of progress, haiving to keep up with it.
People tend to underestimate how much effort it takes to a) learn how to be a good programmer, and b) learn a given programming language. Sometimes they confuse the two.
Thank you for the precisely articulated ultimate point in this debate I have with people about copyright, though my conclusion is different to what you're (probably?) alluding too.

My conclusion is: Good.

Traditionally, storytellers and musicians were an important part of society. They were the medium through which ideas and even information would spread. Then came troupes, then came middlemen, then came companies, then came corporations. Each step along the way, the artist was less about her art, and more about the business of making art.

This can be acceptable to many, and I won't knock anyone who enjoys a good Hollywood blockbuster. What I would argue though, is that the pure artist who did it for the art first, and the business second, made better art.

In conclusion; fuck Google, let that dumpster fire burn out.

Innovation is always disruptive and the best positioned to take advantage of the disruption are the capital owners. If you have the money, you can simply buy stock in the latest tech IPOs or angel ten AI startups. The switching cost is low. Those who only harness their own human capital have massive switching costs, as the example shows, a famous Luddite learned for 7 years a trade that was made obsolete by machines. This has always been the case, yet innovation was historically beneficial creating new winners and social mobility.

What could be different this time compared to the Luddite era is that machine progress happens at an ever faster rate, until you reach fundamental - biologic and social - limits of the humanity's ability to adapt, especially as workers age. The majority of people will never be programmers or stock traders, and the market for those professions is shallow anyway.

This is all to say that it seems the fundamental social contract of capitalism - that the benefits of innovation are redistributed to everybody through competition and growth, employing more people in new industries and lowering real prices of machine manufactured goods to almost nothing - seems seriously threatened going forward in the AI and super-internet-company age. If the majority of the workforce can't adapt fast enough to become productive with the new methods, then they are redundant as far as capital is concerned; not only do they not make a living wage, they won't make any wage, since whatever they are able to do a machine can do it cheaper.

So you would end up with this near-feudal arrangement where returns to capital can be maintained in perpetuity as long as capital owners can maintain IP rights, strong walled gardens, control over limited mineral and natural resources, or keep innovation and disruption going using the services of a few loyal samurai-innovators, the tech salaried class.

Only a brief comment: I imagine many (and specially the top) social media companies will be sued in the near future like Tobacco companies in the past [1].

Most of the time I hear the term being used by other people (not you :) ), I feel it's for showing off and look smarter than everybody else - "Look, I used dynamic programming to solve that problem", when in fact they were just employing what I'd consider the natural and intuitive approach for solving the problem. There was nothing they actually "used", besides happening to identify that the problem could be broken into progressively smaller subproblems.
I think Docker has a fairly well designed CLI and I don't find myself having to Google commands for it often. It follows a few pretty consistent patterns that I wish git had tried to stick with rather than the concoction of words and flags for common actions it ended up with.
Sorry don't get your points, latest D compiler does support C native in addition to the much safer DasBetterC. D is even better you can do all things seamlessly in the same D ecosystem supported by GCC compiler suite by not even going to another language eco-system.
