I've been a c++ dev for 30 years. I'll be retiring in a decade (or perhaps keep going), and I doubt I'll ever see a 'safe' C++ in my working life.

If the committee were even truly serious they'd adopt epoch releases and feature flags in the language spec (see Circle, doing it for real), starting in c++26, the next release. And adopting tooling as part of the standard like every other language. As usual, C++ is the outlier here.

Then meaningful progress might start to be made in a measurable and testable way.

Instead I'll read another dozen articles like this for next 5-10 years, and any talk of tooling or epochs will be kicked down the road for another few years as usual.

But it's been a good lesson for all the other languages for better and worse.

You're implying that bees are less intelligent than humans.

However they can sense electromagnetic fields and can sense whether a flower they're interested have pollen or not without looking at it with their eyes.

Elephants and whales can communicate over vast distances via sound. Bats can see without eyes. Salmons and pigeons can find the point they have born without even trying. A dog can smell history of a place, plus get much more information from a single smell.

Humans can do none of these things without tools.

Also, in electronics, there are accelerators which are much simpler in transistor count and architecture, but which can do much more than a more complex counterparts. GROQ inference cards and FPGAs come into my mind.

So neither capability, nor capacity in numbers is a valid measure for intelligence or capabilities in practice.

Just because a bee has less neurons than a chimp doesn't mean it can't have some kind of comparable intelligence when you compare the things they can accomplish.

Oh, also crows understand and exploit physical phenomena and can manipulate things with tools to get what they want.

While I'm fond of Japanese (and Korean) chisels, the planes and saws are quite tied to Japanese/Korean/Chinese workholding techniques which I'm not quite flexible enough for these days (even though I still often sit on the floor in my living room to use a computer).

An interesting alternative (and high-tech) approach is the Jointmaker Pro from Bridge City Tool Works:

which turns the saw upside down, and instead has one moving the stock past it. I find it quite handy for cutting apart boxes made on my CNC machines:

If you make your own sausages and deli meats, you can just skip the nitrites; they are not really needed for the taste, just for the red color. So your sausages will come out grey/brown, but will taste just as good.

Nitrites are a bit of an economic factor, due to accelerating the curing process, and also help in mitigating risks around food safety. So they're primarily relevant to entities doing this sort of thing at industrial scale, who are subject to government standards on food safety. Home cooking to the rescue!

...on a related note, I don't really understand why small-scale organic/regional producers of aren't already doing this. At least where I am, in a rural part of Germany, we have farmers markets and other sales outlets that pride themselves on doing pretty much everything in the organic/regional playbook that could possibly set them apart from the mass-market, and who charge very high prices. Surely, they could do me the favour and just skip the nitrites? But, for some reason, they don't.
Using Hallucinations to Bypass GPT4's Filter
The Illustrated Bert, ELMo, and Co. (How NLP Cracked Transfer Learning)
We tried hard to move some of our inference workloads to TPUs at NLP Cloud, but finally gave up (at least for the moment) basically for the reasons you mention. We now only perform our fine-tunings on TPUs using JAX (see https://nlpcloud.com/how-to-fine-tune-llama-openllama-xgen-w...) and we are happy like that.

It seems to me that Google does not really want to sell TPUs but only showcase their AI work and maybe get some early adopters feedback. It must be quite a challenge for them to create a dynamic community around JAX and TPUs if TPUs stay a vendor locked-in product...

> It does not have a CVE associated since the issue was spotted within Rust stdlib first.

I don't see why this is true. Are you saying that people with affected code would have seen a Rust CVE and then updated their C++ toolchains? There seems to be no reason this shouldn't have been a C++ CVE other than the fact that C++ community has different standards for what constitutes safety. The lack of CVE associated with the fixes you pointed out support the original assertion rather than refuting it.

In fact, I'll tell you why there was no CVE for C++ - concurrent access to filesystem APIs is undefined behaviour in C++ (https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/filesystem).

Reasonable people can disagree on this though, so I can see where you're coming from. There's no reason to immediately fling around accusations of lying and zealotry. It makes the writer look immature.
Of course it contains GR as a low-energy limit. Where it can be physically checked, it is equivalent to the existing successful theory; where it makes new predictions, it can't be checked and so is almost certainly wrong. To make progress in physics you need to apply yourself to a real open problem (like "Dark Matter") or get new data (from quantum computers or primordial gravitational waves, maybe). The only good thing that can be said about Wolfram is that he is not paid with my taxes, because plenty of cranks in physics are.
On the Linus point, I'd bet there were countless months where he was bringing ideas together in his head and planning how he'd do it before actually finding the time to sit down and write it.

Applying force and incarcerating as many as possible leads to nothing but full prisons, and as individuals are released, the cycle begins anew. It's necessary to break this cycle and focus on very young children, understanding the key factors of why they join gangs, and then taking precise countermeasures.

Education: Implementing educational programs that teach conflict resolution and provide positive social-emotional learning.

Opportunities: Creating job training and employment opportunities for young people.

Community Programs: Offering after-school and summer programs focused on arts, sports, and other activities.

Mentorship: Connecting young people with mentors who can provide guidance and support.

Family Support: Providing resources and support to families to help them create stable, nurturing environments.

Safe Spaces: Ensuring there are safe community spaces for social interaction.

Police-Community Relations: Fostering positive relationships between law enforcement and the community.

Intervention Strategies: Developing programs to intervene when young people show signs of potentially joining gangs.

It is a complex problem, hence there is no easy solution.
Staying calm in stressful situations is very powerful.

Power is about managing conflicts, being able to control yourself while going through one is a huge advantage. Being able to evaluate your options, using the right amount of time for decision making, thinking through what you are actually going to say before starting to speak, these are all skills that depend on self-control.

Yes, it's not 1:1 power, but as the submission title states, it signals it. (Hence the movie cliches about extremely cool guys, don't even flinch while an explosion is going on, and the memes about how millenials flinch when the phone rings, etc.)
It's really not. If there is nonzero energy, and our current models don't allow for energy to be created, either we need new models that do allow for energy to be created (time-variant physics, for instance), or we need the existing models to propose a way it was initialized. Without that there's a gaping hole in the model the size of all of the energy in the universe.

Certainly you can't 1) have a model where energy is constant 2) believe there is nonzero energy in the universe and 3) dismiss any model where energy can change as bogus out of hand because you believe it should be constant, without counter-proposing how it even got here.
It's a signal to noise ratio problem which automation is clearly, plainly, obviously, going to worsen/exacerbate/amplify in every manner. Even if Google themselves hadn't incentivized the problem in the first place, it's far too late to correct.

You cannot conduct a conversation about it, either, because of a similar signal to noise ratio problem, as people who don't care or don't bother to think it through feel compelled to "contribute". And the inevitable "I asked ChatGPT to reply and it said..." noise.
I, too, thought that chimps learning from each other was nothing new (Jared Diamond, etc).

Besides that: I haven't read either study, just the article, so who knows what were the actual claims, but…

The article opens with:

> chimpanzees can learn skills from their peers so complicated that they could never have mastered them on their own.

Which you object with:

> Basically, the study is showing that a chimp can teach other chimps something humans trained it to do.

and:

> I am not sure the study is showing human like “cumulative culture”.

That reads a bit like rejecting evolution because we haven't fully replicated abiogenesis (yet).

Is "humans trained it to do" in "a chimp can teach other chimps something humans trained it to do" so important?

> I don't even think communities retreating to Discord is a bad thing. The public internet is too small; we can't all fit in it. Private spaces might be a big net win

Yeah, I think we should not underestimate the "dark forest" aspect of the 2020s Internet. It's assumed that discoverability is a good thing, and what so many pages are optimizing for - but it isn't always. People don't want to be exposed to political witch hunts (of any faction!) or DDoS.

HN exists in a liminal space where it's hostile enough to keep the turnover down, while being comfortable enough to sustain its social existence.

(Also, people say "our reach" while at the same time the Internet remains radically individualistic - if you want there to be an "us" there has to be some sort of solidarity and governance, the total free-for-all was never sustainable except on the very margins)
If the company profits are up and your pay is flat (as is the case at many tech companies) then yes I think you can and should complain.
> That's why the author only suggests non-breaking changes in this article.

One of the proposals in the article is to change the meaning of things like "if (a != b > c)" and "if (0 <= index < max)". That changes program behavior and therefore is a breaking change (for instance, the code might accidentally be depending on the "wrong" results of these odd comparisons, and "fixing" them makes it go through an untested path which does the wrong thing).
Someone once asked a question online about what each person's biggest fear was regarding the future of AI generated content. I thought about it.

While the fears of not being able to earn money for creative pursuits are a concern, my biggest concern remains around anonymity.

At some point, I fear that participating online with other humans will require "proof of self" and as AI becomes more and more able to generate convincing images/text/video/voice of being human, the systems will ask more and more of us to prove we are real humans which could lead to awful consequences in disallowing anonymity entirely.

That worry remains right up there in my list of AI related concerns.

The parallel concern to that are online communities become tightly gated with stringent requirements of relationships (i.e. invite only, possibly with multiple "referees") and proof of quality in order to participate. This outcome has its merits but can also lead to exclusionary environments which has many downsides, esp for newcomers. It could very well feel like participating in low quality ranked levels of a game for a long time before being allowed to climb out of the cesspool into higher levels where people take stuff more seriously. Not necessarily a bad thing but it's still an inversion of the idea of "participation allowed by default but you can lose the trust you are given if you behave poorly".

That's true and I do agree. Hard to compare a curated piece of non-commercial media with the opposite. They offer such different experiences. "Content" made for social feeds and engagement stats is what comes to mind for me when I think specifically of commercial oriented media. Going to curated exhibitions for me even feels more like creating. I can feel new connections and creative insights being formed.

How cumulative it is, is a fair question to ask. But I don't think animals passing on "culture" has anything to do with humans. Look at lion prides, where one pride has learned how to hunt elephants while another buffalo, and the young ones pick it up from the older generation. But put one member of one of those prides in the other's spot and they'll be clueless until they learn it from the others.
To clarify, my point was about the grammaticality of the phrase "prosyletizing his innocence", not about its intendent meaning of Marcel trying to prosyletize the author.

I "rendered" as you say the author's sentence by replacing the word "prosyletizing" with its meaning:

"Marcel spent our entire first meeting [prosyletizing] his innocence to me." -->

"Marcel spent our entire first meeting [trying to convert me to his religion] his innocence to me."

Which is a straightforward substitution and so much easier to justify than your version.

A valid criticism could be about my use of the word "me" between "convert" and "his religion" which is extraneous. Didn't notice that though, while playing devil's advocate, did we now?

Btw the rest of the author's writing is also crap, afaic.

> Trades people, people going on vacation, sales people

Many tradespeople and salespeople sleep at home every day, and the work vehicle (van or car) is parked at home. They can charge it at home — there are already systems to allow the employer to reimburse for the cost of electricity.

For people with occasional nights spent elsewhere fast chargers or destination chargers might be sufficient. Same for the vacation.

For someone who travels all over the place all the time, a petrol vehicle is probably still more convenient. That's OK, electric vehicles don't need to solve 100% of usage patterns just yet.

It is, but usually the meme misrepresents induced demand. While I don't like cars and we should focus on other infrastructure, adding a lane does help.
