The example you gave is obviously superior for the reason you mention, but what about just one where you are mutating the objects in the given list? Isn't the for loop and an if a lot clearer than names.toStream().if(something).then().mutate(thing)?
So you write a note mentioning there's a leak, and debug it if there's a need for it.

Finding a bug doesn't mean you need to fix it, or fix it right away. Using Rust doesn't preclude resource leaks. I'm pretty sure I've managed to run into resource leaks in all of the languages I've used in production, doesn't matter if they were managed or not. Sometimes limiting the lifetime of the thing that holds resources, and let process (or system) death clean it up works great; sometimes that's terrible, depends on the cost of death/restart, the lifetime between deaths, human intervention required, accuracy of lifetime estimation method, probably some other things. I don't worry too much about leaks that require a restart every year or so; nor would I worry about a leak in a missile that will cause issues beyond the achievable maximum flight time.
Personally, I will be boycotting Nintendo and will urge others to do the same.
I went to a university they recruited out of heavily so took a tour of their campus and know quite a few people who ended up working there.

At the time (late 90's, early aughts) they were basically a sweat shop. I had one person working there tell me they got sued by one of their developers after said developer broke down their salary into hourly and were making under minimum wage due to all the overtime they were working.

The tech was pretty cool (back then, can't speak for today) but I would never work for them.

Oh my goodness this is gold. I've never had so much fun failing.
More companies think they have PMF than really do. So the risk is they get funding, without fit, and can afford to set up data science orgs to prove out experiments and use non trivial resources running copy tests.

if justwords can make this trivial then at least it's minimizing the distraction. that's a win, and fwiw i think b2b wants this product, so the company can do well. i just don't think micro content optimization, after doing it for unicorn for 8 years, really moves the needle like people believe the data shows. People use PMF products in spite of their UX! (for example)
I'm pretty sure that's their gatekeeping.

The stats you listed are for the percentage of CVE causes out of the total reviewed CVEs (109), which includes those CVE causes Rust can prevent and those that are completely language independent causes. I took the stats for those CVEs that Rust is said to prevent, which according to the paper is 59 CVEs. So I took the number of any given cause and took its percentage out of the 59 CVEs that Rust's memory safety guarantees would prevent.

> Or the ones writing code where security doesn't matter, like HFT and video games

A lot of games have a multiplayer mode nowadays, that opens it up for exploits. I do not want to get my PC hacked because I connected to a game server. If you mean only single player offline games, I guess yes security is less of an issue.
Not so fast - you might have precise and efficient functions that do things like basic arithmetic. What you might not have is a model that can reason mathematically. You need a model to do things like basic arithmetic functions so that semantic and arbitrary relations get encoded in the weights of a network.

You see this type of glitch crop up in tokenizing schemes in large language models. If you attempt working with character level reasoning or output construction, it will often fail. Trying to get ChatGPT 4 to output a sentence, and then that sentence backwards, or every other word spelled backwards, is almost impossible. If you instead prompt the model to produce an answer with a delimiter between every character, like #, also to replace spaces, it can resolve the problems much more often than with standard punctuation and spaces.

The idea applies to abstractions that aren't only individual tokens, but specific concepts and ideas that in turn serve as atomic components of higher abstractions.

In order to use those concepts successfully, the model has to be able to encode the thing and its relationships effectively in the context of whatever else it learns. For a given architecture, you could do the work and manually create the encoding scheme for something like arithmetic, and it could probably be very efficient and effective. What you miss is the potential for fuzzy overlaps in the long tail that only come about through the imperfect, bespoke encodings learned in the context of your chosen optimizer.

Alternatives are not identical, by definition.

You see, in 95-2005 you couldn't compute without Windows. The vast majority of services not only assumed but relied upon you having Windows installed. There were no alternatives. Full stop. It's a completely different situation today.

Most of Concorde's engineering innovations were tech tree dead ends though.

The Concorde project was certainly good at fostering Anglo French cooperation in aerospace but it's difficult to imagine the counterfactual scenario where the cooperation is doomed to failure because the debut product is a commercially viable subsonic aircraft rather than a technically impressive aircraft that doesn't sell. Similarly, whilst some of the R&D investment in control systems did find it's way into the A300, the A320's digital fly by wire is a completely different system, and it's difficult to imagine the scenario where a nascent Airbus project doesn't consider fly by wire because they hadn't figured out delta wings or droop noses yet
"gopher" feels forgotten!
I'm quite impressed with both the speed and the quality of the responses using the API. As I mentioned in the Phind-70B thread[1], this is a prompt I usually try with new LLMs:

> Acting as an expert Go developer, write a RoundTripper that retries failed HTTP requests, both GET and POST ones.

GPT-4 takes a few tries but usually takes the POST part into account, saving the body for new retries and whatnot. Phind and other LLMs (never tried Gemini) fail as they forget about saving the body for POST requests. Claude Opus got it right every time I asked the question[2]; I wouldn't use the code it spit out without editing it, but it would be enough for me to learn the concepts and write a proper implementation.

It's a shame Claude.ai isn't available in Brazil, which I assume is because of our privacy laws, because this could easily go head to head with GPT-4 from my early tests.

As mentioned in the README, Revy is not meant to be a polished / properly maintained project -- it's just a proof-of-concept.
I've talked more about how and why it came to exist in the first place in this thread [1], if you're interested.

That being said, I do intend to publish updates when new versions of either Rerun or Bevy land; if only to experiment with new APIs as they come online.

Now, to answer your question, I've been using Bevy since the 0.1 release and, in my experience, keeping up with the changes upstream has always been pretty painless.
Their organization nand release process is top-notch, with some of the most high quality changelogs and migration guides I've ever seen in any project, and releases are rare enough (~about once a quarter) to just not be an issue.

Nintendo is the worst, and your entire gaming experience will be better on Yuzu or Ryujinx.

Sad to see this happen to the Yuzu squad.
Yea, we were only allowed the tools on the ISO of one specific distribution even for the workstations! It was a secure closed network for testing stuff. My scripts were probably just a worse ansible. Occasionally I would threaten the servers aloud that I would “beat them with a stick” if they misbehaved, because I had a special USB stick which I would use to boot a mini distro that would format the server and pull the approved install image down and setup the network and stuff. It was easier to do that when something hung than diagnose it.
Not a game dev but I'd be interested to hear how far we are (in your opinion) from AAA titles using LLMs in their games?

While in theory I can see how using LLMs to "build intelligent NPCs" could be interesting, I'm not sure how close we are given how easily LLMs can be tricked into doing things they shouldn't. Surely major releases wouldn't take this risk?

I could see LLMs being used sparingly. For example they could probably reword text to make conversations feel more natural and dynamic on repeat interactions. Perhaps they could be useful for multilingual dialogue to...

But using them to "build intelligent NPCs" – this that something that you see happening anytime soon?

2) use same dozer to make a moon highway to other sites of interest around the moon.
3) Moon GPS or laser-based local navigation beacons, so the spacecraft can rely on those if instruments fail.
4) Just stupid-wide landing legs that let the craft ski around the moon even when landing at an angle and with horizontal velocity.

A/B testing and the whole idea of "optimizing for user growth" should be dropped from our thinking. This is business and marketing driven thinking that often leads to things like the deplorable quality of social media feeds.

Rather we should optimize for user understanding or satisfaction - whichever fits. These are harder to capture but FAR more beneficial to the consumers of content.

One thing I tried using it for was for a summarization/reformulation tasks, where it did RAG of ~3-4 smallish (~single sentence) documents per instance where each should be in the end form a coherent sentence. There, batching either caused one of the facts to slip into an adjacent instance or two instances to be merged into one.

Another thing I used it for was data extraction, where I extracted units of measurements and other key attributes out of descriptions from classifieds listings (my SO and me were looking for a cheap used couch). Non-batched it performed very well, while in the batched mode, it either mixed dimensions of multiple listings or after the summary for the initial listing it just gave nulls for all following listings.

This setup has been done before with the Mac Mini, which makes more sense to me... Or you know, just ssh into some server.

In any case, these "iPad as Screen hacks" still do not address the main issue at hand: Hardware-wise, you simply don't need the (Macbook Air) laptop, at all.

The laptop form is technically obsolete for most users, since Apple Silicone chips are very similar in Air and iPad. The iPad offers more than enough processing power, while having additional capabilities. Breaking this stupid redundancy and better ergonomics are the things Apple won't make for the sake of completely artificial market segmentation. Probably to keep up supply to the golden iOS Appstore prison and consequent double spending on not just hardware, but software, too.

Honestly, every time Apple tries to green-wash their business, you shall remember how they keep the demand for a whole device line up artificially - and its unnecessary production impact on the planet. Dear Apple, who cares about your headquarter's solar panels, or aluminium recycling rate, when you could simply give people a unix shell on the iPad, with a much, much better environmental impact? Yeah...

Side note: Fool me once... the iPad-paperweight experience is the sole reason I would never, never ever even consider getting into their AR/VR ecosystem. Specs my ass, shell or GTFO. Stallman really do be right.

I remain a little disappointed they didn't hold onto the wedge form-factor. The MacBook Air in the most recently form-factor is very thin, very light, but not to me what the definitive aspect of the MBA is, and why it's not a MacBook Pro.

Hi! Author here! You are correct - that we have real wage growth. However, it is worth nothing that productivity has gone up 3-4% over the last several quarters (see FRED data). Wages should grow by this amount in real terms at least. That's where the standard assumption of 3.5% nominal wage growth comes from (2% inflation + 1.5% productivity growth). So the 1.8% real wage growth is, in my opinion, very low given the economy.
Yuzu got me to start buying Nintendo games again. Two weeks ago I coincidentally decided to mod my Switch and extract all of my games to play on my steam deck because I hadn't touched my switch since getting a steam deck. Everything I am now running on my steam deck comes from my personal switch. I have been having so much fun and loving how my games look on an OLED screen. I also appreciate that I didn't have to generate any waste since I continue to only have my two devices rather than buying a new OLED switch. I was about to go on a shopping spree on the Nintendo store to buy more games even though I haven't bought a switch game in 2 years. This is disappointing to hear.

The interesting thing to me is the Wii U was sort of like youtube premium. Everyone complains about youtube ads yey refuses to pay for the ad-free experience. Similarly, I see people complain about not being able to buy old Nintendo games, but the Wii U eShop provided an abundance of retro games for purchase. Most of the retro games I play come from my Wii U. Nintendo has disappointingly made it more and more difficult over the years to buy their older games, but I suppose when it was easy to do, nobody did it unfortunately. All of this would be solved if Nintendo simply sold their games and we were allowed to play it on whatever hardware we want. But I understand why Nintendo doesn't want that and also that many people seem to not want to actually pay for the games they play.

I don't expect Apple to product an answerbot clone of ChatGPT. That would not play to Apples strengths and would not provide much unique benefit to Apple, it's platform, or its customers.

What I do expect is for them to use LLM-style AI to enhance the use of their existing features. Make photos easier to cleanup. Make music playlists better. Make it easier to create calendar events. Suggest code snippets in Xcode. Make it easier to find what you want in Spotlight or in the App Store. Make Siri smart again. Give Siri enough ability to understand intent and to clarify requests and then be able to match that to available services. Maybe even be able to do more than one thing in a sequence. Make it easier to automate all kinds of tasks.

Using AI for that gives more control to the users and surfaces functions that are otherwise hidden or hard to use.
