I have some experience with this. My advice is that these episodes come in waves and thus a simple yet vital rule has literally kept me alive: don't do it; this will pass. That plus therapy and a brief stint on antidepressants swung me from suicidal ideation to optimism.

I do think you have to watch your environment too. Just like alcoholics don't typically hang out in bars, we shouldn't hang out in places/jobs that depress us.

All of this is easier to say than do. I wish you the best.

You are trying to retcon the reason why (e.g.) Bitcoin was created in the first place:

> Commerce on the Internet has come to rely almost exclusively on financial institutions serving as trusted third parties to process electronic payments. While the system works well enough for most transactions, it still suffers from the inherent weaknesses of the trust based model. Completely non-reversible transactions are not really possible, since financial institutions cannot avoid mediating disputes. The cost of mediation increases transaction costs, limiting the minimum practical transaction size and cutting off the possibility for small casual transactions, and there is a broader cost in the loss of ability to make non-reversible payments for non- reversible services. With the possibility of reversal, the need for trust spreads. Merchants must be wary of their customers, hassling them for more information than they would otherwise need. A certain percentage of fraud is accepted as unavoidable. These costs and payment uncertainties can be avoided in person by using physical currency, but no mechanism exists to make payments over a communications channel without a trusted party.

France is one of if not the biggest agriculture power in Europe, most farmers can't even generate a 35hr min wage equivalent while working 80+ hours a week.

20% of them live in poverty, half of them make less than 22k euros a year

Truck drivers earn between min wage and 150% of min wage, while being on the road every day and not having a social life, they drive 8 hours per day and sleep in their fucking truck while some code monkey makes 300k+/year coding memeojis at apple.

The employment market is very much a free market system right now. There is enough supply to meet the current demand and keep the existing inflated salaries. We seem to have reached an equilibrium.
Farm work, especially work that doesn't require specialization (planting, maintaining, harvesting), is pretty much minimum wage work where I live, in Spain. Minimum wage here is ~1300 EUR / month. But it also differs wildly by region here, as some regions are really poor while others rich (relatively).

Besides the farm work, there is food processing workers (cutting, cleaning, basically assembly lines), packaging, workers at warehouses, people who work at the counters of the store, and all the support roles for those positions. If you go outside and eat, you have all the restaurant personnel to take into account as well.

There is a lot of low skilled labor that goes into making what we eat today. I'm not sure how you could possibly claim that none of those people are on minimum wage.

Of course, but memory unsafety is one of the biggest enabler for security vulnerabilities. Attackers have shifted to other concerns when PHP became widespread enough for example, but PHP alone cannot be used to create a vulnerability common in C/C++ because of its memory safety (which is not even that good!), you need some other systems to combine multiple issues into a single coherent attack, and it's likely that C/C++'s memory unsafety has played a great role somewhere in between. He doesn't fully acknowledge this multiplicative aspect of memory (un)safety.

> they want results specifically relevant to the terms they're searching for even if they mistype their query.

You're not wrong here, and I don't think LLM has made this much better - for a reason in addition to yours.

In my experience pre-LLM there was a good blend of both relevant and unrelated even when a few letters were off, or a word was slightly wrong.

And now more often than not, the LLM they must have parsing the search query guesses my intention wrongly, making the search results ironically less relevant. Pre-LLM In that situation, I'd correct my query to narrow down the results in my next search - as I still do anyway post-LLM.

TL;DR using LLM to 'enhance' search queries hasn't actually improved anything, while also making my day less fun.

I don't know about this. There are a lot of people being paid by their companies to work on the C++ committee and on various compiler teams. The author of the post we're discussing is a member of the committee and this article is an attempt to improve the security situation in C++.

So funding isn't the issue. The issue is that the committee has a firm commitment to never introducing breaking changes. This commitment is so firm that it trumps literally any other interest, like making the language memory safe. That's why the author only suggests non-breaking changes in this article.

Lots of people are going to have opinions on whether this approach is the right one for C++'s long term success, but I think we'll only know in 5-10 years.

Sutter correctly points out that when using pointers in safe Rust, one is generally limited to tree structures. But, that one can express cyclic structures in safe code using other means (such as reference counting or integer indices):

> One reason is that Rust’s safe language pointers are limited to expressing tree-shaped data structures that have no cycles; that unique ownership is essential to having great language-enforced aliasing guarantees, but it also requires programmers to use ‘something else’ for anything more complex than a tree (e.g., using Rc, or using integer indexes as ersatz pointers); it’s not just about linked lists but those are a simple well-known illustrative example.

But then later on, seems to ignore the safe alternatives and commits a non-sequitur:

> That’s because a language’s choice of safety guarantees is a tradeoff: For example, in Rust, safe code uses tree-based dynamic data structures only. This feature lets Rust deliver stronger thread safety guarantees than other safe languages, because it can more easily reason about and control aliasing. However, this same feature also requires Rust programs to use unsafe code more often to represent common data structures that do not require unsafe code to represent in other MSLs such as C# or Java, and so 30% to 50% of Rust crates use unsafe code, compared for example to 25% of Java libraries.

In other words, Sutter acknowledges the safe alternatives at one point, but then ignores them later. When ignoring them, it allows Sutter to draw a conclusion as to why some percentage of Rust code uses `unsafe`. And even if ignoring those alternatives was appropriate here, I still see no reason to believe that 30%-50% of Rust crates use `unsafe` precisely because of the limitations around cyclic structures. There are many more reasons to use `unsafe`.

GP> Private spaces might be a big net win.

Succeeds, yes. Dies? I think no. There aren't many mechanisms to kill off things in the long tail, other than whatever the kids mean when they whinge about "discovery".

In The Time Machine, the Morlocks use the Eloi for sustenance. I suggest we do something similar, living among ourselves in our caverns, letting the masses frolic upon their platforms, and merely harvesting a few percent (2?) of the revenue every now and then; not so much as to threaten their existence, but enough for us to thrive.

will remove DSA support entirely.

> The emotional strain of being a whistleblower and having your colleagues now see you as the enemy is not something I’ve read about, but it must take a toll. A whistleblower, almost by definition, is a hero to strangers and a villain to those they know and work with.

Hmm I don't know, if I were a whistleblower I wouldn't really care what my colleagues would think. And I'd probably not continue working there anyway. After all I'd hate the company and my colleagues for all the wrongdoing that was the whole reason for the whistleblowing in the first place.

Of course people react very differently. And I'm very much not a team player so I'm pretty insensitive to peer pressure. I'm sorry that this person felt so bad.

I see only one reasonably acceptable alternate explanation.

He either committed suicide or was suicided by someone at Boeing terrified about what would happen to them in jail.
Even if it was a suicide, that still doesn't mean it was self-motivated. People who care enough to be whistleblowers, would likely care enough about wellbeing of their family or other people - enough to sacrifice themselves once again under sufficient threats and pressure.

Or, even more likely, end things not because directly being requested to, but because of having no other way to NOT be forced to back out and cower at the very end, and betray themselves and other people.

All of which is unfortunately making it almost trivial for the adversary to steer things into that direction.

> Take for example CVE-2022-21658 (https://blog.rust-lang.org/2022/01/20/cve-2022-21658.html) in Rust, related to a filesystem API. It's true, this was a CVE in Rust and not a CVE in C++, but only because C++ doesn't regard the issue as a problem at all.

That just plain wrong. Just simply wrong. And I hope it is not a lie done on purpose.

The C++ community acknowledge the issue as soon as the Rust one posted the problem and issued a fix which is already deployed with major compilers [^1] [^2]

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

This is this exact kind of FUD and zealotism that makes people hate the Rust community. I wish the community mature a bit on this aspect.

no, I think it might be

- LLM(prompt_0) = arch/spec of LLM

- LLM(prompt_1) = full weights of LLM

Note that it does not conform the definition of quine as a quine takes no input.

Anyways, constructing a transformer that can autoregressively output its weights would be quite interesting.

Rust started at Mozilla. Their products were written in C++, and despite all the effort put into good practices, they kept running into the same issues over and over. They designed a new language that would prevent those issues, and that became Rust.

Personally, I think C++ has too much cognitive load. Over multiple decades, many features were added and very few were removed. The result of that process is having code that reads like mixing Latin with Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs and then followed by TikTok jargon.

I think both could count as quines. A quine is some source code which when executed in an environment produces the same source code. It does not need to produce the entire environment. Depending on whether you see the LLM itself as source code or as an environment to execute a prompt in, you’ll end up with different requirements for an “LLM quine”.

“And I don't care what a cabin on the other side of the world does”

And there’s the rub. You’re getting very emotive about the subject whereas I am approaching it simply as a customer experience issue.

When I book the cabins I get a cheaper price the longer I stay.

The issue would therefore seem to be that the Airbnb doesn’t provide you the flexibility you desire. The cabin’s I’ve stayed at are owned by different people but rented out by a company that handles such properties in a reasonable manner.

And besides, you continue to ignore my initial first statement: That I feel it’s immoral to charge a cleaning fee AND expect customers to do cleaning.

The original post I replied to stated that they expect the customers to strip the bed plus more cleaning tasks, AND they charge a $200 Cleaning fee.

Even the Airbnb CEO stated he felt that it was wrong to expect customers to strip the bed.

The Cabins I stay are request that when you leave the property you have gathered plateware etc. into the kitchen, and towels etc are left in the shower, and all furniture is left in the basic state you found it.

That takes all of about 10 minutes - which is fine by me. All costs in cleaning and maintenance is taken out of the rental fees.

So no, in my “scheme” costs are not higher because the company I rent through handles rates accordingly.
Looking at the JSON, I assume this is a higher level format that may output SVG. For instance, the arrows between nodes are defined by reference to node names and node sides. In SVG that would be a hardcoded curve and shape for the arrow which loses the semantic meaning "there's a relation between two nodes", where nodes may also have semantic meaning such as "idea" or "book".

A tool may parse the json canvas file and extract information such as "there are three ideas linked to this book". Another tool may output an SVG.
