Right, lots of failures happened. I'm not sure the point.

> Those are rolling release variants deliberately intended to take upstreams rapidly with minimal review, precisely so that integration testing can be done. And it was, and it flagged the issue via at least one symptom.

And nothing was done about it.

The problem isn't that they were not the first to find it, the problem is that they weren't even in the race. And people and processes are not be immune to criticism for failures, so we absolutely can "shit on" the failures at many levels that have helped to make this situation possible.

How open are you to moving plandex cloud over to AGPL? I know, tough ask right out the gate! Think about that one for a bit.

How is your market testing going?

Do you have contracts with clients amenable to let you write case studies? Do you need help selling, designing, or fulfilling these kinds of pilot contacts?

What are your plans for docs a PR?

As a researcher, it's currently hard to situate plandex against existing research, or anticipate where a technical contribution is needed.

As a business owner, it's currently hard to visualize plandex's impact on a business workflow.

Are you open to producing a technical report? Detail plandex methodology, benchmark efficiency, ablation tests for key contributions, customer case studies, relevant research papers, and next steps/help needed.

What do you think?

If plandex is interested in being a fully open org, then I'd be interested in seeing it find its market footing and grow its technical capabilities. We need open source orgs like this!

Software has significant effects on people that isn't immediately apparent to the designers.

I'm sure that the contractors who designed accounting software for the UK Post Office didn't expect to ruin the lives of hundreds of people. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-56718036

I'm sure the designers of Facebook didn't mean to inspire a mental health crisis for young people. https://www.sciencenews.org/article/social-media-teens-menta...

I'm sure the designers of GPS software didn't mean for hundreds of people to drive into lakes while blindly following the GPS. https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ftsa&q=google+maps+errors+lead+to+...

I'm sure the designers of predictive policing software didn't mean to racially discriminate. https://www.technologyreview.com/2020/07/17/1005396/predicti... Same for facial recognition software. https://jolt.law.harvard.edu/digest/why-racial-bias-is-preva...

Tone policing isn’t a valid argument. [1]

It’s also perfectly valid to raise a problem without providing a solution. [2]

As it so happens, though, Strong Towns’ thesis is pretty clear. This article is one of many examples. It boils down to “low density costs cities more than it brings in revenue, so cities need to increase density or increase taxes. If they don’t, they’ll eventually fail.”

They have several articles going into specific recommendations, which you can find collected at [3]. I particularly liked “6 Principles for Building a Strong Town.”

Image Processing in WebAssembly
This Wasm-powered image processing library is so underrated. Especially seeing how quickly it was developed and released in terms of how old Rust and Wasm are. (PRs date back to 2019). Epic FOSS for sure!
I remember how it felt, I thought I was sick, because I felt this rocking motion. I thought it was just me, then I stood up and saw a plant shaking, so I knew it was everything else that was shaking too. The amplitude slowly increased, reached a maximum, then decreased over the course of what seemed like a minute. It was a quite slow frequency, possibly due to the depth. This was from Portland.

I'm going to make an optimistic and contrarian prediction: there will be even more jobs for software engineers in the future.

Current companies will hire fewer new grads and layoff older engineers. However, I believe AI will make it far cheaper for new software companies to develop their products. Therefore, we will have more software companies spring up. Those companies will in turn, hire more software engineers.

For example, let's say there are 10 total software companies today employing 100 employees each for a total of 1,000 software engineers employed. In the near future, I can see 100 software companies employing 12 engineers for a total of 1,200 software engineers. The net will be 200 engineers.

We will see an explosion in software products - some software fields will have more competitors due to the lower cost of creating an alternative and we will see brand new software fields spring up because it's now economically feasible to do them.

However, I think new grads that can make efficient use AI in developing software will be in very high demand - even today. Those who can't will have a hard time getting hired. Same for current software devs.

I believe that the reason we don't see this in 2024 yet is because of high interest rates and we are in a transition period. I can see the field getting very hot again in 2025/2026.
Zojirushi has very high build quality. I wouldn’t be surprised if mine lasted more than a decade. And also they are pretty good on parts availability; I had to toss a different $100 rice cooker I used to own because I needed a new pot and they didn’t make them anymore.
Interesting design for a tutorial. I've never seen someone make something interactive in Google Sheets.
I have discovered a brilliant way to fight inflation. If something is too expensive don’t buy it. This works surprisingly quickly. The best way to communicate with a business is to stop buying stuff from them.

Businesses quickly learn that raising the price comes at a cost. This doesn’t work for required things, but it is important to buy required things on your own schedule.
Let me reword that for you:

Lots of interesting points in there, and working on Bevy I'm sure you have much more extensive WebGPU expertise than me.

I agree that the feature set around WebGPU is constrained and becoming outdated tech compared to native platforms. It shouldn't have taken this long just to get compute shaders into a browser, but here we are. The lack of programmable mesh pipelines is a barrier for a lot of games, and I know that's just the beginning.

For memory, architecturally, that's why I'm treating wander as a tree of nodes, each containing Wasm functions - everything gets its own stack, and there is a strategy to manage Store sizes in wasmtime. Deleting that is the only way to free memory vs a singular application compiled to Wasm with one stack/heap/etc. More of a data-driven visualization framework than a full engine like Bevy, which I still think is one of the most elegant ways to build browser based games and 3d environments.
Feds decide to do something about years-old SS7 spy holes phone networks
I'm hopeful for the 3nm Tainan fabs, but I expect disruption at the Taichung and Hsinchu fabs since the quake was felt in Taipei. It's common for the equipment to be recalibrated and tested, if you can feel an event. I suspect this was felt in the west. Hopefully, not down for a week, if everything is good.

Hopefully, the towns and people on the east coast are OK, but this one is big.

edit- Since there are reports of shaking in Kaohsiung (farther south than Tainan), I'm less hopeful for the southern fabs.
Yes. Price is quickly forgotten but quality endures.

The method you describe would be an example of what is called a "thermostat" in molecular dynamics (because the speed of molecules forms what we call temperature). Such adjustments to the speed can definitely paper over issues with your energy conservation, but you still have to be careful: if you rescale the speeds naively you get the "flying ice cube" effect where all internal motions of the system cease and it maintains its original energy simply by zooming away at high speed.

This is interesting. part of me makes me wonder if they are so persuasive because we have been desensitized to what quality content look like in a SEO dominated world.

I say this because my go to search method has become Gen AI for most things and this is mainly because it’s worked better in terms of accuracy.

The things I know nothing about like, “How do I take care of a crabapple tree” i’m going to trust more then a top ranking blog post because I have no experincce, time, or willingness to verify the information from the Blog or Gen AI. The Gen AI just gets to the point and give me more in-depth responses with the ability to questions its answers or re-prompt.

I still have no idea how accurate it as long as it seems logical enough to me.

With things I do have experince with, I generally have tools already in place to check its work and tell if it’s off.

A good example is with golang, claude tells me to use deprecated packages. Linters tell me it’s wrong.

I’ll ask it to do taint analysis on code or some other type of static analysis or reverse engineering and it’s almost always right. If not i can easily tell what’s wrong.

It being mostly right in areas i have experince with makes me assume it’s mostly right in all general areas.

I can absolutely see how they can be more persuasive.

Having worked in sales, small humanisms(?) physical or verbal will quickly make me disregard their authority on a subject. Gen AI is really good at talking smoothly and has no mannerisms.
Your comments are a bit harsh and naive. One cannot look to paid entertainment professionals for moral and ethical guidance. Nor can we hold them to higher standards than mere mortals.

Shallower earthquakes cause much more damage (on the surface), esp. if near densely populated areas; also depends greatly on how earthquake-proof structures and buildings are. Today's one was 34km deep/21 miles.

1989 SF (Loma Prieta) was magnitude 6.9, epicenter 56 mi south of SF, depth 11 miles. (Typical California earthquake focal depths are 4 to 6 miles).

1906 huge SF earthquake was magnitude 7.9, depth 5 miles.

2008 Sichuan, China earthquake (87,587 killed) was magnitude 8.0, depth 19 km.

2011 Fukushima, Japan earthquake(+ tsunami) was magnitude 9.0, depth of 18.6 mi/30km at sea.

I am glad people are working on it!!

Have you seen Kha by any chance? It has similar goals. I find it quite awesome, but it won't gain mass adoption for a bunch of reasons. https://github.com/Kode/Kha

Someone built an immediate mode renderer on top https://github.com/armory3d/zui, which is utilised by ArmorPaint https://armorpaint.org. I also use Zui for my own bespoke 2D game engine.

I find this tech and tooling really quite amazing (just look at how little source code Zui has) given just how small the ecosystem around it is. I think Kha really illustrates what can be achievable if the lower levels have robust but simple APIs, just exposing the bare minimum as a standard for others to build upon. It really suggest taking a look at the graphics2 (2d canvas like) api.

For the kind of project I work on (mostly 2d games), I think it would really awesome if your framework also supported low level audio, and a variety of inputs such as keyboard, mice, and gamepads. If it also had decent text rendering support it would basically be my dream library/framework.

> One way for addressing this concern is (stateful) stream processing, for instance using Kafka Streams […]

I have recently been burned by Kafka Streams specifically: it has been causing the excessive rebalancing in the Kafka cluster due to the use of the incremental cooperative rebalancing protocol, and not allowing the implementation to change the rebalancing protocol if Kafka Streams are used. The excessive rebalancing has resulted in severe processing slowdowns.

The problem has been resolved by falling back to plain Kafka Consumer/Producer API's and selecting the traditional eager protocol with a round-robin partition assignment strategy, which has reduced the rebalancing to near zero.

I am starting to think that for stateful stream processing, ksqlDB based stream aggregation is the way to go for simple to medium complexity stream aggregation, and for complex scenarios aggregating the data either in the source or as close to the source as possible and not using Kafka Streams. In my case, the complication is that the source is not a database / data store but a bespoke in-house solution emitting CDC style events that are ingested into the Kafka streaming app.
> I wonder whether this is going to make such a difference given Apple's POI data is so poor.

Is it still? I know that was a common criticism at launch.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Maps

The main provider of map data is TomTom, but data is also supplied by Automotive Navigation Data, Getchee, Hexagon AB, IGN, Increment P, Intermap Technologies, LeadDog, MDA Information Systems, OpenStreetMap, and Waze. Apple renewed their agreement with TomTom in 2015, though later decided to gradually switch to OpenStreetMap and remove all of TomTom-contributed map data except for live traffic information.
It fixes 12% of their benchmark suite, not 12% of bug reports.
True. Notifications are a plague.
Whenever I look at those reports, I keep wondering how many automated systems have to be there in place to generate all that. All the waveform records, the intensity maps, etc..., they should be all auto-generated, and likely verified by humans afterwards? Would be super curious of the IT setup and deployment of such things.

This also likely feeds into the automatic warning systems (sent to mobile phones to warn of an incming earthquake, tsunami, or something else), which is likely going to be discussed afterwards, as loads of people didn't get a warning. (As opposted to recent Chinese satellite launch where _everyone_ got the overly scary rocket alert.)

Edit: now they are saying their calculation has to project a minimum "peak ground acceleration" (PGA) of 25 (what units?) to have an alert, and a lot of the places didn't hit that, in part due to underestimating the intensity at the epicentre. I guess they will be revising this criteria, as this was overly conservative on the "less noise" side, while people are likely more forgiving in reverse (getting an alert when they didn't need one).
I'm very excited about work being done in this area. In fact, I'm working on a product that does exactly this (runs in the background, local LLM, has access to screen-space entities, can take certain actions).

Concretely, what security issues are solved by forcing the build specification language to be Turing incomplete? My guess is the answer is "none."

At worst, you're actually creating more holes. The reason autoconf/automake exist and M4 scripts are innocuous in the first place is because the build system uses an underpowered language and developers have to turn to code generation to get around it.

If you kneecap the build system's language you're not solving problems. You're creating them.

> it would have required the actor to come up with another vector of code injection which would have been easier to find.

If make was standardized and could programmatically determine the environment its run under and write full programs then the attack vector wouldn't exist in the first place.

> Codebases that bootstrap are the 0.1%.

We have different experiences, because ime it's close to 100% especially when you include transitive dependencies. When you care about supply chain security you care about being able to bootstrap from sources for your code and all your dependencies, and it's almost guaranteed that one of your dependencies needs to be bootstrapped.

These would be 290 yen ($1.90) 790 yen ($5.20) in Japan respectively.

I still don't think an RFID will eat that much into their profit margin, but Uniqlo is in the unique position of having stricter control over their supply chain. All the products they sell are Uniqlo-branded products, manufactured specifically for Uniqlo, and they can just have RFID tags embedded in the price tags for all the products with little extra cost.

Grocery stores sells cans, plastic jugs, glass bottles, shrink-wrapped fresh produce and even plain vegetable and fruit or grain and legumes by weight. All of these comes from a wide variety of manufacturers that don't produce directly for you (or even have any kind of direct relationship with you).

The wide variety of form factors makes attaching RFID to everything unrealistic, and even for the stuff you could attach RFID to, it's not like manufacturers would do that for you.
"Loss" is accountant-speak for "we still made a profit, just less than last year."
Ross Scott, the guy behind this campaign, addressed that in one of his Youtube videos. But I am not sure which one. But anyway, he is not in favor of requiring companies to run their servers forever. He is in favor of requiring companies to patch the games when they turn off the servers, so that the players can run the game locally, on their own servers. We know that that is possible, because Epic Games has done it before, when they shut down the servers for Unreal Tournament. Even if this does raise the cost of game development, speaking strictly as a consumer, I will gladly take a $60 game that will run long after the people who made it die, over a $50 game that will only last for 5 years.
