That is a distinction that only exists because a Git repo is an ordered sequence of snapshots of your code that get translated to and from patches for human consumption. As far as I can tell, a Pijul repo is more of a giant dependency graph of patches that when merged together form a consistent snapshot of your code.

Frankly, regardless of anything else, I think it's going to be a result of the sheer size of human communities. Internalizing and enforcing ethical norms without state action is one thing when communities are roughly Dunbar number sized and loosely related to each other. It's another thing entirely when the global population approaches 10 billion and a normal metro area has 20 million people who are overwhelmingly total strangers to each other. You're never going to achieve 100% adherence to "don't steal" no matter what, but whatever residual percentage will always do it becomes more and more people as there simply are more and more people. Like it or not, unethical behavior is going to happen and not for the pet cause reason you think, post-structuralism and cultural Marxism or whatever. Arguably, there was more theft when western people were more religious a few centuries ago, just the theft itself was normalized. Whether outright chattel slavery or serfdom, most people had no claim to the fruits of their own labor and aristocrats simply took whatever they wanted.

> Lisp may not be appealing to beginners because of its parenthesis

You may have been referring to Lisp beginners, as opposed to overall programming beginners, but I’ve heard anecdotally that overall programming beginners take to Lisp better than those with experience in Algol style languages.

I could see that. And will prob be testung that hypothesis out soon.

And I too have become a fan of the parentheses.
This kind of behavior seems entirely anti-consumer. There should be legislation that limits how much literal wattage can be used of a consumer’s device that does not serve the purpose of the consumption and benefits the company financially.
The obvious answer would be to harshly punish theft via jail time/etc., but that's sort of not my point, and I don't think that's actually the root issue.

Because it's more that stealing cars is apparently an acceptable activity for a lot of people to do. By acceptable, I mean socially, to friends, to family members, to themselves. That seems like a major societal failing to me, much moreso than "this car isn't designed with the optimal security system."
Why would anyone do something as as mob programming?
A few thousand lines of code everyone is satisfied with and understands used to sound like science fiction – now it was reality.
There is no developed country in the world that does not have legal and LE discretion.

It’s only the fact that the US has a common law system that this case even got far at all. Go find me somewhere where you can successfully sue the government for not arresting someone.

I’ll read a 20 page paper if I’m really invested in learning what it has to say, but after reading the abstract and maybe the intro, I decide quickly not to read the rest. Only a few 20 page papers are worth reading.

> we've got this pent up energy that has no where to go. It's no wonder why a lot of kids are producing content for youtube or tiktok... but this has a lot of problems as a replacement.

No argument there, but it has advantages, too. TV is entirely passive, whilst creating for TikTok, or wherever, is well, creating. Not, perhaps, an ideal medium - and algorithmically controlled by sinister others - but the collaborative joy I see youngsters bring to their efforts to create the perfect [whatever] is lovely.

I'm old enough to remember 'zines, and Geocities, and Flash games, and I wish they were still doing that, because that was great, right? But our elders didn't "get" our youth culture, either, and so I think it's probably OK that I don't totally get most of what they're up to now. They're excited by it, and they're doing it together, and it brings them joy, and (apart from my concern about the algorithmic gods) it's just fine.

> For extra amusement, make it so that you have responsibility without authority.

Funny thing, that's basically the job description of a Product Manager, although HN loves to roast them, some of the hilarity comes from the fact you're accountable for outcomes and responsible for a process to get to those outcomes, but have no budget, have no reports, and you're trying to convince completely different management structures in completely different parts of the company that the thing you're working on is the thing they should prioritize or it all falls apart. Getting any significant new feature or new product to launch in any large company is basically a miracle, even if it arrives to launch hollowed out on the inside. This is mostly not a consequence of how well you do your job, it's a consequence of how dysfunctional the organization is, and I'll let you in on a secret.. /all/ large companies are deeply dysfunctional.

OpenAI is heavily influenced by big-R Rationalists, who fear the issues of misaligned AI being given power to do bad things.

When they were first talking about this, lots of people ignored this by saying "let's just keep the AI in a box", and even last year it was "what's so hard about an off switch?".

The problem with any model you can just download and run is that some complete idiot will do that and just give the AI agency they shouldn't have. Fortunately, for now the models are more of a threat to their users than anyone else — lawyers who use it to do lawyering without checking the results losing their law licence, etc.

But that doesn't mean open models are not a threat to other people besides their users, as all the artists complaining about losing work due to Stable Diffusion, the law enforcement people concerned about illegal porn, election interference specialists worried about propaganda, and anyone trying to use a search engine, and that research lab that found a huge number of novel nerve agent candidates whose precursors aren't all listed as dual use, will all tell you for different reasons.
If you remove enough of the criminals from the population, you end up preventing crime in the long run. When it comes to car theft in particular, police also set up bait cars and then arrest the people who try and steal them. Well, at least that’s what they do in cities that still bother enforcing property crimes.
Phone thieves will watch over peoples shoulders for them to input a passcode, which isn't that dissimilar to a lot of the replay/signal extension attacks.

A lot of damage can be done and things successfully owned without needing to hack or exploit the device (car/phone).
This is technically a different loan forgiveness program, so it would need to go before the court on its own merits.

I think one could say that Remix is simple in the sense that there is less magic and reinventing the wheel like in the case of Next.

It's not simpler as in less features.
If something like that had an electric motor, I'd want it.
Vite and webpack (and thus turbopack, which is advertised as a webpack successor) are two different beasts.

While vite is perfect for most users, there are just some usecases that are not doable with meaningful performance. Without boring you with details why, let me assure you that having a performant webpack replacement for those 10% who need it, helps vite staying lean, as they are not bothered with feature creep.

If you want a small detail why: Vite is built on esbuild. Esbuild is carried by a single developer (https://github.com/evanw/esbuild/graphs/contributors) thus every nut and bolt that vite does for you on top is built in javascript, so you are in slow-land again.

webpack and turbopacks promise (and complexity) is that it treats these extras (plugins and loaders) as first class citizens and thus tries to make them as fast as possible by applying tons of caching. E.g. if you'd throw a webpack workflow at vite, you might end up with a slower build then webpack. And this is where turbopack tries to improve.

That's literally what the law itself is, since the dawn of time.
That's what I do in my living room. Still need to boot the TV to android, hope the remote works so I can switch to HDMI and hope the remote doesn't have connection issues because that captures any screen on my TV.
I half agree. It is helpful up to a point to know what demogogues might be hatching. But I don't agree that his words describe the actual sources of Argentine despair, even among those who voted for him.
Until this demo the most impressive conversational experiences I've seen were Pi and Livekit's Kitt demo (https://livekit.io/kitt). I do not think kitt was quite as fast in response time (as retell) but incredibly impressive for being fully opensource and open to any choice of api's (imagine kitt with groq api + deepgram's aura for super low latency).

Retell focusing on all of the other weird/unpredictable aspects of human conversation sounds super interesting and the demo's incredible.

Things are moving so fast, wow.
Yeah but a few remote happy hours vs "all day every day" is very different.
A good example of this is the Kitchenaid standing mixer that used to have metal gears and now has plastic gears and easily fails. They used to last generations, now they last a few years. They turned one of the most iconic small appliances into a generic plastic piece of junk.

> That still leaves the problem that few people look at insurance premium when choosing what car to buy.

It doesn't help that premium calculations are nonlinear and trade secrets. In the real world, it would take a computer and a large database to fuzzily estimate the impact of a particular car purchase on your personal premiums forecasted over the next few years with an error margin any less than a few hundred dollars per year (unless your life is particularly stable and well aligned to some major stereotype you can use to get a closer estimate).

If each insurer just published a table of the incremental impact of a given model of car (or better yet, how linear contributions for theft vs crash-rate vs death-rate-on-crash vs ...) then that'd be easy enough to use during purchasing. If you own a 90s civic in Oakland vs Redwood City though you're much more likely for the defective security measures to be used, and the insurers use a proxy for that information in their calculations, so in practice you have to get a personalized quote for every single car you might be interested in purchasing. Moreover, if you buy the car in a low-car-crime locale and move you can still be surprised by the massive rate hike [0]. And so on; modeling arbitrary risk is complicated, which is (part of) why professionals get paid the big bucks to do it. If there are other workable solutions, I'd prefer most of those to requiring the general public to have to do non-trivial math and statistics for every car purchase, especially above and beyond what they already have to do when estimating the total lifetime costs due to fuel economy or whatever.

[0] My personal solution was just to sell the car in that low-car-crime locale where it had a market value and buy a new vehicle in my destination, but then you're trading premiums for transaction costs, which isn't easy to model if you don't know how often you'll move in 5yrs either (hindsight, definitely worth it by a wide margin).
Other than here, are there any other places online where folks writing their own languages tend to congregate?

Yes. Great point
I think it's partially a size/scale problem. If 1000 people have access to flipper zeroes, the probability of an unethical actor might be low, and normative ethics may be enough. But if 1 million people have access to flipper zeroes, the probability of at least 1 bad actor is high, and laws/enforcement/deterrents must be enacted, even if the baseline ethical rate is still high.
I don't live in Canada.
More than that. If you have ever had to fix a bug in code common to multiple maintained releases of a project, being able to apply the same patch to them all as its own thing instead of having multiple cherry-picked commits with identical content would be nice.
I suppose the youth writing about 50-year olds is going to be just as fraught with incorrectness.

Why should either party bother then making observations about the other at all?

To answer my own question, I think the more observant, reflective, and contemplative individuals from either group very likely will have something to say that may cause the other to pause. While they may often not get the other, I think being immediately dismissive of what they have to say is the worse sin.
I think (hope) they learned a lesson from this, as Remix is very good at not introducing breaking changes:

> Rather than expecting a human being to behave in certain ways intrinsically (i.e., normative ethics) we tend to assume they will behave in the worst way possible, and then pass laws to supposedly prevent that behavior from manifesting.

This is a necessary consequence of civilization. If you have a city of 8 million people, then you have 80,000 people in the bottom percentile of behavior by normative ethics. If some behavior is so outre that only 1 in a million people would do it, then there are 300 people in the US about to do it.

I guess it’s only common knowledge for people who read book reviews.
English law often refers to "the man on the Clapham omnibus". Quote from Wikipedia:

> The man on the Clapham omnibus is a hypothetical ordinary and reasonable person, used by the courts in English law where it is necessary to decide whether a party has acted as a reasonable person would – for example, in a civil action for negligence. The character is a reasonably educated, intelligent but nondescript person, against whom the defendant's conduct can be measured.

He would fit your description of "normative ethics". I think the trend you describe mostly (?) applies to the US.
Tried inference with the 7B model and without flash attention this is soooooo slow. With flash attention the fine-tunning requires A100 or H100.
Also the inference doesn't always stop generating resulting in garbage being added to the response.

Why is there such a pervasive crowd of people who chock this kind of thing up to a lost cause? From my prespective, if it can be done, we should, we must, do it. Is there something special about hiding something from a government thats qualitatively different than hiding it from any other criminal? That they can levy greater amounts of violence? Isnt that even greater justification to privacy?
I get that, but given the observed existence of a subset of the population where this is currently acceptable, what does "enforcing [] religious or ethical norms" to fix the problem look like?

I agree with you there's a societal or communal failure here. I don't see what the solution is (other than jail time/etc).
Thanks! Will push harder

Because the modern Western world is in a "religion hangover" where it wants to reject all outwardly religious ideas, while simultaneously denying that a) religions have been the foundation of pretty much all ethical behavior since the beginning of civilization and b) many supposedly secular belief systems are really just extensions of religious ones with the "I believe in..." statement cut off.

I don't think it's fair to hold the number of open issues and pull requests against them. Looking through them for a minute, it looks like 95%+ are from their own team members, with a good chunk of the issues being "low priority" issues. So you are just seeing the typical ever-growing backlog that is normally in a private JIRA instance.

Having said that, the way they work with pull requests is unlike anything else I've seen. I see that they are using a merge bot, but apart from that all branch names are completely illegible. As a lot of the team seems to be present in this thread, it would be interesting to get some details about that.
Ishmael or My Ishmael touches on this subject. Thank you for reminding me.

I forget exactly, but, the basic idea is primitive people didn't have all these laws about what to do. They expected you to behave, and if you did not, the tribe did not necessarily punish you, they taught you and made it right somehow (justice).

Any MY description does not give this idea justice, so I need to go back and find the reference in the books.
This is a different discussion. There doesn't seem to have been any abuse of a loved one before the perps drove off in the cars. The cars weren't sold as "unstealable".

The whole point is that what was sold (some kind of key security) was half-assedly implemented.

> I wonder why the caching layer can't just pass any query it is unable to process on to the underlying database?

Because sometimes it's not about the query you pass in - it's about a new data type, for example. The layer may think it understands the query, but may not be able to handle the format of the results, or may cache them incorrectly.

For example, when SQL Server added the JSON data type, one of my customers found that the caching layer mangled it for some clients, but not others, or would return the correct result the first time, but the cached result was formatted incorrectly.

Another problem can be the connection itself, like when SQL Server added support for Always Encrypted, an end-to-end encryption method.
