> So will you admit that the first example has been sufficiently addressed? Because I was commenting on the problem involving the Collatz conjecture.

In that this specific program is obviously designed to be extremely hard to prove correct? Yeah. In that most real programs will be easier to prove correct automatically? No.

> This can obviously only be proven if we have the bodies of `generate_random_planar_graph` and `compute_chromatic_number`. Please provide these, and then I can attempt to answer. Because our whole point in Xr0 is that safety comes down to formalising interfaces – without interfaces for these functions we cannot investigate the safety of `main`.

What would be the point of that exactly? We both know that those functions would contain loops and as such Xr0 would be completely unable to verify them. We also know that Xr0 isn't actually able to state that `generate_random_planar_graph` generates a planar graph (other than completely repeating the body in the annotations, I guess). We also both know that Xr0 would not be able to deduce that the chromatic number of planar graphs is less than five.

I already provided two examples of programs the safety of which Xr0 will not be able to verify. I think it's your turn to produce a non-trivial C program that Xr0 will be able to handle.

This discussion really isn't all that enlightening, sadly. Xr0 can't currently handle loops and you haven't produced a single technical argument as to why I should expect Xr0 to be able to handle non-trivial loops in the future.

You also haven't produced a single technical argument as to why Xr0 should succeed where Frama-C failed. The argument that Frama-C is more general while Xr0 is specialized on safety is refuted easily as it is easy to come up with C programs the safety of which depends on arbitrary properties (and I would argue that many if not most real world C programs fall into this category).
Probably more lacking automated test coverage than bad luck? For security critical RNG code, seems to me you’d really want to have a test where it generates a tonne of random numbers and asserts that they’re all unique.
I guess you already did the comparison, but the unfriendly questions are:

Why is it better than Google forms?

Why is it better than Moodle?

(Just two slightly similar tools that I use a lot. I guess the reply is that they are B2C, but a clear answer may be useful to understand the advantages of your project.)
> so you couldn’t run BART trains onto mainline tracks unless you bought heavier (and more expensive) rolling stock than what BART and other metro systems normally buy

That is no longer true. The FRA rules that required heavier rolling stock on mainline rail no longer exists. You will find many people buying trains(and thus should know) who are unaware of this rule change.

You are right about the rest.
(Energy) poverty is bad for humans and the environment
A lot of this is because being overly string is a disadvantage. Body builders can lift more weight, but that's a lot of extra muscle to move when lifting relatively light things hundreds or thousands of times. A body builder could literally be working twice as hard as a wiry person, by having to lift their own muscles.
> quality

Hmm. Not sure I agree with you there. American cars aren’t particularly known for being high quality.
In this very blogpost, we are very much in a situation where users (github + the author) found the bug.

They however didn't find the cause of the bug.

And in many software, open source or proprietary, there are a lot of bugs sitting out in issues tracker for days, weeks, months or even years.
Disclaimer: I'm a minibone co-author.

A pointed question. Under threat models where you trust (or have verified) the code being executed, this allows you to use untrusted storage (e.g. cloud databases, S3, etc.) without worrying about passive attackers being able to read your data.

Using TLS and server-side encryption, a passive attacker could install a shim to intercept data.

In practice, one usecase of Minibone would be open-source electron-style web applications where you have the necessary code transparency AND signed code versioning.
Another would be self-written applications (assuming you trust yourself).
Another might be closed-source internal tooling (assuming you trust your company) that's hosted on cloud infrastructure.

If I've overlooked anything, please do let me know.
So they start with the "theater model" of consciousness. I mean, at least they have a model; that's not nothing. But they don't have a definition of consciousness (as far as I saw), and they give no reason why we should buy the theater model of consciousness.

So something that we can't define, but we have at least one model that may or may not be kind of like it, they argue that it's inevitable. Well, personally I don't find that to be very persuasive.
What about a Palestinian and the US prison labor industry?
Listen me apprentice. You gave us the question about why b command goes backwards while most of backwards commands are capitalized with an assumption that it has to contain some logic unknown by you. You have received the logic from me. What fucking else do you want from me?
You're intentionally misleading away from the point: the United States does not benefit from becoming wholly dependent on China for industrial goods. I don't care what some Wall Street exec or Austrian School "scholar" tells you.

Sure, some shareholders might - and they're the same ones who also benefit from screwing migrant laborers - but you're not one of these captains of industry who can jet off to their bunker in New Zealand when shit hits the fan.
I’m not sure I agree with this take that technology is taking away community in general. I think communities are simply changing. I mean HN is a community and it’s all technology. IRC is a ton of fond memories for me in a time where my irl community was failing me as an awkward nerd, and gave me friends that I can irl meet and chat with now.

You seem to have this idealized notion of what community was like outside of technology. But that community always had outsiders and ignored people, that community had communal lynchings and hangings, pogroms, witch trials etc. and strict ways of life where, if you didn’t conform, you were far more isolated than now where you could meet fellow weirdos!
It won't.

They're only saying that when the Sun becomes a white dwarf some remaining objects may be thrown close enough to be shredded:

"For the rest of the solar system, some of the asteroids located between Mars and Jupiter, and maybe some of the moons of Jupiter may get dislodged and travel close enough to the eventual white dwarf to undergo the shredding process we have investigated."

Agreed that this is less sensational than the title suggests.
Does that distinction matter when we are talking about something that absolutely causes loss of human life?

This sound a lot like the "just asking questions", esp because of the "seems like a good thing to me" bit, like you know it's a mischaracterisation of the problem.

> it's a representational democracy

Switzerland is a direct democracy, not just a representative (i.e. indirect) democracy. In the present case the ECHR is obviously misused with very dubious arguments. The fact that the ECHR does not put a stop to such abuse will not exactly improve its acceptance among the Swiss voters.
It's interesting that it was so closely tied to the actual eclipse. I'd have not expected that. I'd have expected people to be trying to make the most use of cellular while waiting for the eclipse. You've got all those people who travelled to it trying to keep themselves occupied while waiting.

I saw the 2017 eclipse near Madras, OR. That part of Oregon is mostly agricultural with scattered small towns every few miles. T-Mobile was close to useless from when I got there around noon the day before the eclipse to at least an hour after the eclipse.

An old friend that I hadn't seen in decades was in the same general area and we both had T-Mobile. We were trying to figure out if we could meet up, and I don't think we managed to get a single voice call to go through. SMS would occasionally go through albeit with an hour or more of lag.
The command would still need to print millions of SSH keys on stdout, so this doesn't really help.
Google Nest Secure
i am not sure what to do. I do not use any other google products besides the nest secure (which I loved). So the $200 is no good to me. and the ADT insists on a 3 year contract at $20 a month. Does anyone know if we have any recourse? Are they providing others who do not accept these two options something else?
Exactly, and usually after shopping at the same place for a while, I get to know the cashier a little bit. I've actually had some good conversations with some of them, and tellers at the post office as well. (One could say that it might be better for them if they didn't have a job and they got UBI, but to be honest, as young adult, I appreciated my first menial job at least in that it gave me a sense of responsibility and independence. And a lot of these people are young people.)

What a lot of technologists seem to think is that AI will make everything wonderful by allowing us unlimited free time to do hobbies, but the desire to spend all of one's free time on hobbies is a very peculiar and minority desire of the very intelligent. (And it may be more of a fantasy than soemthing that would actually make them happy in reality.)
I think the impact of religion "in-between-ing" is not orthogonal and not neglictible.

"Volkswagen" detects when your tests are being run in a CI server
There’s a lot of functionality attached to just associating NSUserActivities[0] with screens (e.g. asking Siri to “remind me about this” will create a reminder with a deep link to that screen attached), which is something that a lot of apps do. I wouldn’t be surprised if this new LLM functionality takes advantage of those in some basic way too, with new APIs being added to allow developers to fine-tune and extend integration as needed.

I found this in my Nginx logs, they teached marketing to all of us
I was earlier today reviewing some logs from one of my Nginx instances and found the following entry:

```
401 GET / Expanse, a Palo Alto Networks company, searches across the global IPv4 space multiple times per day to identify customers&#39; presences on the Internet. If you would like to be excluded from our scans, please send IP addresses/domains to: scaninfo@paloaltonetworks.com

I think it is just genius. It is a demonstration of effective marketing and knowing where your audience is.
Would be more interesting and "real-word" seeing what - across the industry - are the usual trade-offs taken on the BAD traits of a SWE, and how they are related to the good ones.
> which, as far as I've seen

and a lot of other people have the opposite view, only to be told their subjective opinion doesn't count.

"unconscious bias" has certainly spurred/influenced policies wrt DEI, despite its dubious academic basis.
The primary goal is building tools that other (typically less tech-savvy) people can use to create various types of content (often video game related) and to semi-automate repetitive tasks. An example here would be our texture selection / marking tool [1]. As a more advanced example, think of an editor found in most modern game engines, like Flax Engine [2].

Windows is the primary target for these tools, but I'd really like them to be also available on Linux to lessen our Windows dependency. I've used Qt in the past, before they introduced Qt Quick. I also heard about complicated licensing changes when they moved to Qt6, which made a lot of KDE devs worry. And stuff like not being able to download Qt without an account; or the framework coming with everything and the kitchen think nowadays, where I am only interested in desktop UI; no networking, no JavaScript-like scripting language, etc.

I don't want to build a complete UI system from the ground up, but there are certain points where I'd like to be able to customize things, like adding new widgets and having some way to render 2D things without needing a graphics API surface -- think HTML canvas. I feel like ImGui does a pretty good job here, giving you drawing primitives.

For state management I am mostly concerned with the life-time, ownership, and connections between objects. Where other languages, like C#, don't really have to worry about this due to garbage collection, in C++ you typically want things to be more strictly organized. I'd prefer a UI framework to facility object life-time management in a streamlined manner. Like, if it opts to use shared_ptr for everything, that's fine, but it also needs to prevent me from accidentally building cycles and provide a way to dump the dependence graph so I can see directly why a certain object is retained (and by whom).

To clarify the difference between C# and C++ here, think about how the implementation of an observer pattern is vastly more complicated in C++ to be safe as object life-time is not managed automatically for you. Copy & move semantics only adds to this in terms of complexity.

State management and user interaction are closely related here, as almost all user interaction results in state modification. Looking at HTML/JS frameworks, some leverage a 2-way data binding approach, where others bind data only 1-way and use events for the other way. In immediate mode GUIs I am updating the underlying state directly -- practically having the view and model tightly coupled. Here I'd like for a framework to be explicit about what is happening, without being too cumbersome to extend a UI with new functionality. E.g. I don't like signals that can be used across the whole code-base, where suddenly a function executes and you have no idea what originally triggered it. On the other hand, having to handle and forward every basic event from one component to its parent isn't an option either. If that makes any sense.

One thing that slows down our machines is all the trackers that run in the background as we browse the web. Surveillance capitalism FTW! /s
I have a story that happened just last night. I almost always go through the self check-out because I can pack my groceries just how I like. So I scan my groceries while a round glass eye watches my every move and a machine repeatedly tells me to "place the item in the bag." )There are no bags, we're a bagless state, but the machine doesn't know that.) Sometimes I'll palm a Luna Bar or two just because I can.

Last night I was running really late and there was a long line at the self check-out so I went to the one open human-powered check-out lanes. They were about 3x as fast as I would've been and I had a pleasant conversation with the checker and the bagger. Yeah my bananas got a little beat up but it was a much better experience. Now I feel like I can say hi to those people.
The important detail is when the problem was solved. If it was three years ago, then it was likely captured in the training data for the model.
I will go to great lengths to keep control of my luggage in my own hands. Haven't checked luggage in many years.
OP argument is that it is bad for societal as a whole. Coming back with an example for a very small sub group doens't refute OPs position. Your position that it can help with edge cases is valid however if OPs position was taken then there would be a large swath of damage for a small gain in a small population. That doesn't have much logic to it.
The dual channel version of this would be where both parties understand each other's language, but use translators anyway for diplomatic nicety, so they can get to brass tacks* with each other but the historians record the encounter in a highly refined register.

This might also have applications in screen readers and other accessibility applications, where not having a usable model of UI elements can have consequences considerably beyond convenience.
Many of these things (E.G. "hardworking") apply to almost any career, or can be trained, but to me curiosity and patience/persistence are the things I think have an outsized effect on whether someone is a great software engineer.

The impacts of climate change are going to be seen and felt initially by people who had literally no say in the matter.

So no, human rights and climate change are completely intertwined.

What they glossed over was that after the Sun becomes a white dwarf, the remaining planets (and minor objects) will have orbits that can become unstable over time. One fate of objects on unstable orbits is to have their eccentricities pumped up to a point that they would pass very close to the white dwarf and be tidally disrupted. The fragments would then be on very elliptical orbits that would precess at different rates, leading to very high velocity collisions near the white dwarf, ultimately causing the remains to settle into a disk. Very small fragments would spiral in due to the Poynting-Robertson effect.

I am really liking the Gemma line of models. Thoroughly impressed with the 2B and 7B non-code optimized variants. The 2B especially packs a lot of punch. I reckon its quality must be at par with some older 7B models, and it runs blazing fast on Apple Silicon - even at 8 bit quantization.
Thanks for the feedback!

1. The largest model that we have tested is Llama2 13B. For the first phase, we focussed on fine-tuning LLMs in the 1B-13B range. For our next phase, we will focus on 13B-45B'ish -- for this we will have to incorporate distributed techniques.

2. Following incorporation of distributed training techniques, we will be able to run MoE based models, such as Mixtral.
It also relies on the targets being gormless - no shortage of that in our MPs (leaders - I hate to use that term).

Remember that Musk plays dumb on this. His stated stance is no Starlink has been directly or indirectly sold to Russia, and the terminals "will not work” there (from article). The units are GPS capable and could be denied service, but they clearly aren't, and Musk is lying about it.

This is not limited to the Ukraine issue, it's a US-sanctioned-areas issue: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2024-03-25/elon-musk...
