This argument just seems like the sports version of Infinite growth - sports will get infinitely better as we lower "barriers to entry" until we have the supposed best version of the game. How do we know that by lowering the barrier to entry we aren't just flooding the sport with less interesting to watch teams? Alternatively, what if the mechanically best version of F1 far less interesting to watch than what we have now?

Not to say we should never fix anything, but I need more convincing that this is a real problem.
Rightly or wrongly, they believed AGI was inevitable but it would currently be reckless because it was going to end up in the hands of profit-maximizers Google or Facebook, so that they needed to get there first under a non-profit. Hindsight shows this was a dumb reckless move as they sped up timelines and the arms race by 3-10 years, and are showing no signs of restraint that was supposed to be their raison d'etre.
Sure sounds nice.

Any reason to suspect that it might be true?
They have a monopoloy on distribution channels of iOS Apps. There is no way, other than through the App Store, for a developer to sell software to the owner of an Apple device such that the owner can execute that software on their own device.

That hot tempered decision will cost them a lot of money. They were already in a bad situation for essentially making the alternative stores worthless but cutting off Epic over a few tweets will further cement the idea that there's a competition problem going on here, this is also directly contradicting the DMA.
They aren't actually allowing sideloading, but the ability to install "marketplaces", which can only be provided by verified developers under very strict rules regarding government. It's a huge disappointment.
I'm willing to believe Apple may be like that behind the scenes, buuuuuut while reading this:

Since you are going down this route, I would recommend you guys to build some sort of unit test driven fine tuning framework, where you may provide input output examples expressed as simple function calls. You could then let the LLM generate examples and check them using the unit tests and keep the valid results to build up a valid data set. For bonus points, the unit tests themselves could also call the LLM to check if the output passes criteria expressed in natural language or not.
Well, maybe not, but most of the big ones are at least mutually exclusive. So to the OP's point, at various periods throughout history at least ~80% of the population were "believing false things", even if we can't agree on which 80% those were.

I like to develop in platforms’ “preferred” frameworks when possible and am not really interested in solutions trying to be a “silver bullet”. In the case of Windows I find the design language of Win11 actually pretty nice and would like to have that, which involves using WinUI/App SDK. There are alternatives such as writing an app with some other framework using a third party theme, but that can instantly become outdated with a system update or comes with weirdness like how some of the older Windows C#/XAML stuff gets all stuttery on displays running a refresh rates over 60hz.

I dove into CGMs a little bit about a year ago, mostly just for fun. Yes, I paid money to some online prescription mill for CGMs (Abbott Freestyle Libre 3, IIRC), and then put one in my arm (the applicator is a short syringe section that has the monitor tube threaded into it, so the tube stays in your arm and your skin under the monitor remains broken) for a couple weeks. Just to see how various foods would affect my blood glucose, to see whether the “facts” I’m telling my kids about the glycemic index of various foods actually has the expected impact on a measurable result. You know, as you do. For fun.

(It actually was fun, and I’ll do it again when the data ecosystem improves.)

as i understand it, oracle mostly sells to executives above it management, but there are also lots of executives in it management who aren't as concerned about the survival of their company as they are their own careers. it's hard to point to cases where company failure can be specifically pinned on oracle licensing fees, but since a company running on oracle can never switch away, ultimately there's no reason for oracle to leave any profits for the company shareholders when they could simply extract them in licensing fees. unless the company has pre-existing licensing contracts in place, i guess, and successfully defends them — which it won't be able to do if it fails oracle's licensing audit, and obviously copyright infringement is ubiquitous in every company, so most will fail, and then oracle can alter the deal

Lots of interestingly similar words between Japanese and Turkish. For example, yabanjin meaning barbarian in Japanese, and yabancı meaning foreigner in Turkish. The word for "good" is basically the same in both languages (ii/iyi), and the particle -de at the end of a word means "at" in both languages.

> The fact that I can’t then immediately go

Who said you can't? :) This actually works in Dart:

Dog? dog;
bool isDog = dog is Dog;

if (isDog) {
dog.bark();
}

i.e. boolean variables which serve as witnesses for type judgements are integrated into promotion machinery.

I do agree with you that

1. In general there is no limit to developers' expectations with respect to promotion, but there is a limit to what compiler can reasonably achieve. At some point rules become too complex for developers to understand and rely upon.
2. Creating local variables when you need to refine the type is conceptually simpler and more explicit, both for language designers, language developers and language users.

I don't hate excessive typing, especially where it helps to keep things simple and readable - so I would not be against a language that does not do any control flow based variable type promotion. Alas many developers don't share this view of the world and are vehemently opposed to typing anything they believe compiler can already infer.

It's all a matter of personal taste in the end.
Also with a very specific meaning that often gets lost. It was specifically about Haskell before there was an IO type. Without I/O operations, any language is "useless".

(Further context: in the discussion Haskell is described as starting out useless and carefully approaching useful. Other languages start with the footguns and then retrofit useful limitations from the other end!)

There are two ways to do this;

10% would be considered an extremely high death rate for soldiers involved in the fighting. Even 2.5% for healthcare workers is ridiculously high.

Would be interesting to see what the death rates for journalists, medics, soldiers, etc was in afghan war, iraq war, vietnam war, etc. I highly doubt any reaches 10%.

Svelte pops up out of nowhere because people tend to really love it. Not sure how it's the "React of frontend tech" since React is a competing frontend framework (which is now moving to adopt a Svelte-like compiled approach).

I haven't used Vue (any version) so this wouldn't be the place I'd normally chime in about Svelte. People seem to love Vue as well.
IMHO, in the future programming may look similar to this. Write a type declaration for a function with an expressive type system, e.g. refinement types. Then use LLMs + SAT/SMT to generate provably correct code.

This strikes a happy medium, where machines are assisting programmers, making them much more productive. Yet the resulting code is understandable as a human has decomposed everything into functions, and also robust as it is formally verified.

I am working on a F# proof-of-concept system like this, there are other alternatives around implemented in Haskell and other languages with varying levels of automation. It is potentially an interesting niche for a startup.

The trouble with that is that startup people naturally gravitate towards building things without having a clear idea of what they're trying to sell/what the benefits are.

Building a landing page can sometimes be a useful prioritization exercise in that sense. It obviously doesn't replace building the actual product eventually.

> Steve hated industry standards.

> The only time he ever said anything else was when every web site in the world ran on flash and iphone couldn't do flash.

NeXTSTEP, the Steve Jobs thing that got renamed as Mac OS X when Apple bought it, was based on BSD Unix. In the early 2000s, Apple produced and used a lot of open standards. "Darwin" was open source. Bonjour is mDNS. Apple developed CUPS and open sourced it.

Then they got big and greedy and stopped.
They also solve the trust problem through consensus using proof of stake. If there is enough financial skin in the game to behave correctly, then that should be enough to make sure that results are not tainted.
You are totally right. I worked as admin on few projects with dedicated servers, and ALL have two classic peaks (~10:00, 16:00..19:00) and near zero consumption at night (00:00..06:00), all these are now very close to civilian power consumption :) .

Some time, before CDN invention, very large sites distributed traffic between few time zones around world and so they distributed load for a whole 24h. But when CDNs appeared, local peaks returned.

And unfortunately, not much things possible to run at classic DC environment, nearly only ML tasks. For example, for classic supercomputing tasks, typical DCs have too slow network (too large latency for things like C++ MPI).

Apple Alternative Marketplace Requirements
Is it just me, or is this just malicious compliance?

Good luck hosting a marketplace for say, foss apps, with this requirement set forth by Apple:

>Do either of the following: (1) Provide Apple a stand-by letter of credit in the amount of €1,000,000 from a financial institution that’s at least A-rated or equivalent by S&P, Fitch, or Moody’s, and maintain that standby letter of credit as long as your alternative app marketplace is in operation; or (2) be a member of good standing in the Apple Developer Program for two continuous years or more, and have an app that had more than one million first annual installs on iOS in the EU in the prior calendar year.

It will compile just fine if you call unwrap on a Result and then you get a wonderful error. If you call unwrap on a File::open() you do not even get the file name.

If you run this

use std::fs::File;
pub fn main() {
let fp = File::open("test").unwrap();
}

You get this:

thread 'main' panicked at /app/example.rs:11:33:
called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: Os { code: 2, kind: NotFound, message: "No such file or directory" }
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace

The language incentives you to propagate errors up to main and then just let it fail.

If you wear traditional clothing from many ethnic groups that is based on wrapping large rectangles of cloth in various ways (togas, saris, etc.), traditional machine looms suffice.

There are already circular looms, which produce tubes, so some kinds of dresses are possible but shirts would be difficult and pants right out.
