In a corporate proprietary code base this is REALLY easy. Just commit a bug. Happens every day, everywhere. Just that normally these are mistakes. You can easily mask a deliberately inserted exploitable bug as a mistake. Make the code a bit convoluted, leave out a crucial corner case from your test, slip this in in a moment when your code reviewers have time pressure and/or are stressed somehow, and even if you are caught, the plausible deniability is convincing. How many eyes will see it after the fact? None.

It's a mistake to conclude that people make rational choices based on the premise that they aren't dumb. Counterexamples abound.

It's literally true that people who have never programmed in a language with GC don't know what it's like, but they absorb folklore about it's difficulties or unsuitability from places like HN. Except such content is almost always from extremes that aren't applicable to most development, thus producing an unintentionally skewed picture.

Articles exactly like this one are needed for balance, and to encourage more experimentation with safer choices.
Another piece of advice; have a reviewed and up-to-date domain language document for each of your domains. Ideally write it while you're doing discovery work. Anyone wandering outside of the domain language without good reason gets reminded to re-read the domain language document.

Ublock origin's filter syntax is very good but has limitations that make it borderline impossible to filter out some elements and also very brittle. For example, this one is one of 20 lines of filters to get rid of Shorts: `www.youtube.com##ytd-mini-guide-renderer a.yt-simple-endpoint path[d^="M10 14.65v-5.3L15 12l-5 2.65zm7.77-4.33"]:upward(ytd-mini-guide-entry-renderer)`

The frontend code is so abstracted that as soon as it is updated it is probably going to break. With userscripts you can filter these things with more sophisticated functions, but it slows down the interface more than UBO. In google's case that type of frontend abstraction (imo) is not intentionally designed to break interface filtering but it has that effect. For other companies like facebook and amazon they actively make filtering elements harder, because of their anti-adblock strategies, but they are all casting a wide enough net that element filtering is affected too. It's a long game of cat and mouse.

That's a not-uncommon sort of missed opportunity! But I believe Inferno does this, the Dis VM which runs the entire (hosted) operating system has a GC which is reused by Limbo, the systems language. But it didn't catch on.

There's no technical reason for the division between a process GC and an OS GC, and it would be nice to see what could be done by eliminating it. There are good practical reasons it hasn't happened, but it's hard for me to imagine it making anything worse, and it's easy to see things which could improve, including safe(r) shared-memory between processes.
They said "own new homes". So it's not an existing house and was probably a development job.

>There are alternatives (e.g. Nebula) and a lot of creators like them and do post their content on them to get a higher revenue share.

Yes but... (1) Nebula "success" is partially owed to Nebula creators building up audiences on Youtube.

And (2) being on Nebula requires an invitation from that platform to join. You can't just be a random unknown. In contrast, you can be an new unknown creator and start uploading videos to Youtube. Then later, if you're big enough and the quality meets Nebula's standards, they may ask you to join.[1]

Those 2 reasons keep it from being a true "alternative" to Youtube. Nebula is more of an extension platform for the portion of audiences that want to pay extra for longer-form videos of their favorite Youtube creators that happen to be on Nebula.

There are also lots of high-quality Youtube creators (e.g. DIY repair tutorials, etc) who are not on Nebula because it doesn't fit Nebula's "documentary" type of content.

[1] Nebula CEO: >If somebody comes to me and says, “Hey, I’m friends with the creator of this channel and they do really good stuff. I think they would be a good fit,” I will take the call.

> Being "against" something is a valid goal in life, but then you really have to be very strategic about it. Being "for something" and pouring your energy into making something that people want or need seems more productive.

From the announcement:

> but I'd rather spend my energy on making the non-commercial web more attractive.

The author pretty explicitly states that they want to shift from an "against something" mentality (against disruptive content in proprietary apps, against the intended user-experience of those apps) to a "for something" mentality (building and supporting non-commercial services).

I genuinely do not see the complaint.

> With only 800 active users, letsblock.it obviously didn't have any measurable effect.

Unless the author was planning on never making a popular project, I don't think this is a good way of evaluating direction or effort. In either case, putting in a huge amount of effort to support 800 active users who might otherwise (at least partially) shift their attention to better services seems reasonable to question. If we take it that there is any value in improving experiences for a small number of people, then there is equal value in making it more pleasant for those people to use Libre services.

And of course that's even before asking about the opportunity cost. If an author can take the same amount of time they were devoting to this and instead build tools that make a Libre/Community service more attractive for 800 people, that's arguably a much higher impact activity on the health and growth of that service than wasting that effort trying to make proprietary platforms palatable.

But again, if your point here is to focus in on a mission, starting with "nothing I build will have any impact on any of this" is just not really helpful at all.

> Supporting the "non-commercial web" seems too vague in my opinion.

A general mission statement/direction is often the first step towards narrowing down product ideas. I think making a decision in a direction (ie, pivoting from doing free UX enhancements for commercial companies towards saying, "I want to benefit services that don't feel exploitative") is a good place to start. Of course over time the author will probably narrow that focus, but this at least lays out a category that they can start looking into.

> Most people want to be helpful to others. This works fine when it is with a limited no of in real life interactions with mostly reasonable people.

I don't think it has anything to do with the internet (whose scale pose many problems but not this one): anyone that founded a product/start up can tell you that people will give you “advices” and “suggestions” all the time when you talk about your project, and “don't listen to random suggestions from people you've just met” is one of the first advice you're being given when you're talking to other founders.

It doesn't even need to scale above a handful of people to be a nuisance that harm your project if you listen to them.
I suspect if you're looking at C++ as a viable language for the problems you're solving, you're solving quite different problems from me, so take this with a grain of salt.

What I wanted from Rust was basically a strongly-typed C and more modern tooling. I'm open to more checking than that, depending on what cost it has.

What I'm getting is strong typing and more modern tooling--cargo, for example, is excellent. But the borrow checker is extremely invasive, and `unsafe` doesn't actually make it less invasive. There are a number of cases where I still haven't figured out how to get the compiler to not complain about the lack of a `.clone()`. Borrow semantics are... pretty good, as it's basically enforcing a pattern I use frequently anyway, but the exceptions to that pattern are critical and working around the borrow checker causes more problems than it solves. It's possible I just don't know how to make "the Rust way" more workable, but if that's the case I am having a hard time finding how what "the Rust way" is for the things I'm trying to do.

That said, I can see how Rust is a great tool for what it was originally intended for (writing a browser). That's just not what I'm doing.
Similar experience here. My PhD research was in a niche (but unhyped) field where it was easy to pump out low-impact papers. My peers who went into more hyped fields had much more citations and much better job outcomes, whether in academia or in industry.

If you want to do high-impact research in the long run, you need to have a strong foundation, which means a solid bed of high-impact papers to point to when you need funding, opportunities, etc.
This is not something that a unit test can catch. First, this 100% coverage rule applies to the program/library code, and only to the subset that is not ifdeffed out (otherwise, you will not be able to have, e.g., Windows-specific code), and definitely not to the build system's code. Second, how would you test that landlock works, in a unit test, when this feature is optional and depends on the system headers being recent enough? You can't fail a unit test just because the software is being compiled on an old but still supported system, so it would be a "SKIPPED" result at best, which is not a failure and which is not normally caught.
It's a FOSS alternative because instead of using their online platform to make an account in order to interact with their characters, you instead download and run this source code without needing an account to interact with yours, and those in the community - even offline if you want.

There's more to it than just chatting with AI models - these "ragdolls" are based on RAG so they are able to have distinct personalities and scoped knowledge. They can't leak info they don't know about, can't be censored from talking about things they do know about, and can be exported and shared with others on the community site. The model itself is more like the underlying engine, where the ragdoll is a specific persona that you can deploy to a variety of tasks (starting with just chat).

I want to go beyond what character.ai is even dreaming of doing by making this into a creative suite for all things AI: Chat, storytelling, art & visual design, cinematography, CGI, music & sound effects, and so-on. It would be great to have an open-source character-focused tool for making stories, cinematics, films, music, etc. Here's an example that uses a ragdoll as an NPC in a game that has specific knowledge that the player can uncover in order to advance in the game: https://github.com/bennyschmidt/ragdoll-studio/tree/master/e...

Thanks for the question, I will add a section on how these are fundamentally different from just chatting with ChatGPT.
