> abstract-ORM issues

People get so attached to ORMs with object tracking that they invent whole categories of blog articles to work around cases where a simpler abstraction would be less work.
Nice just what I was looking for.
If I understand correctly, we aren't talking about named/keyword arguments. This is about a shorthand syntax in ES6 objects, nothing to do with function arguments.

In JS, when creating an object, instead of writing {name: name}, where "name" is both the key in the map as well as the variable you want it to assign to, you can do {name}, whereas e.g. in Go you would do map[string]any{"name": name}.

Edit: Or, for completeness' sake, it's the same with structs in Go, where you would instantiate a struct like this: Person{name: name}.

Google is not a source; what exactly are you seeing that suggests that? The only things I can find against wg are that 1. it hardcodes crypto options, so if ex. its cipher choices proved vulnerable then it would be harder to fix (vs openvpn allowing, more or less, plug and play of whatever cipher you want), and 2. openvpn has been around longer. But wg is much less code to audit, has been audited, is now widely deployed and used at scale, and hardcodes extremely safe cryptographic choices. So... again, what specific claims/sources say that openvpn is safer?

Json is a language?
In fact, many building projects take years to just purchase the real estate to build on.
Which proves that such a feature would be harmless at worst.
Complete novice question: Would it be possible to build a language that could read your source code and tell you, at compile time, which expressions have values that depend on RNG? And on cryptographically secure RNG?

So that you could annotate a variable as needing to be cryptographically secure and the language could check that, somewhere along the way, its value depends on an adequate RNG function?

> The hospital said it had “no indication” his death was related to the transplant.

I think the transplant team likely did have tons of evidence showing the kidney was fine - monitoring things heavily is just normal procedure after any transplant, even more so after this kind of transplant. He would have had daily or weekly labs showing Creatinine/eGFR, ultrasounds, blood tests, urine tests, regular appointments talking about symptoms and lots more.

Its possible that the pig kidney caused the death in some way that isn't clearly understood yet though. Maybe some proteins in the kidney went into the bloodstream and affected another organ, maybe they exacerbate congested blood vessels somehow etc. Maybe an autopsy will reveal more.

But yeah if you read the history of transplants or any risky new medical procedure, they are very fragile and can be set back decades or stopped when they go bad or mistakes are made. There are incentives for people to cover up the reason's things failed and history of hospitals lying out of their teeth to cover their asses (see Charles Cullen in The Good Nurse).

I guess I'm saying there is plenty of evidence on both sides of the answer to the question of "why did he die".. either way he did something heroic.

If there is an exception a matching error handler will be selected and called in the context of the error. A default handler could be a debugger, a break loop (which is a Lisp REPL), something which asks the user waht to do or it could be a handler provided by the software, which could do anything, including looking for restarts and using one.

For example the variable a is unbound and we try to add 3.

CL-USER 37 > (+ 3 a)

CL shows an UNBOUND-VARIABLE error and provides Restarts. Restart 3 is a USE-VALUE restart.

Error: The variable A is unbound.
1 (continue) Try evaluating A again.
2 Return the value of :A instead.
3 Specify a value to use this time instead of evaluating A.
4 Specify a value to set A to.
5 (abort) Return to top loop level 0.

Type :b for backtrace or :c <option number> to proceed.
Type :bug-form "<subject>" for a bug report template or :? for other options.

We are now in a break loop, a REPL one level deeper, in the context of the error. Let's see what the condition (-> exception) is:

CL-USER 38 : 1 > :cc
#<UNBOUND-VARIABLE 8010002EC3>

we call one restart (listed above, number 3) interactively, it uses the new value and continues to compute the expression. It asks for a value. I enter 5 -> 5 + 3 = 8

CL-USER 39 : 1 > :c 3

Enter a form to be evaluated: 5
8

We can do it also programmatically. HANDLER-BIND establishes a handler for UNBOUND-VARIABLE. It invokes the restart USE-VALUE with 4 -> 3 + 4 = 7

CL-USER 40 > (handler-bind ((unbound-variable #'(lambda (c)
(invoke-restart 'use-value 4))))
(+ 3 a))
7

All this is the default behavior. There is no special "debug mode", attaching a debugger or "instrumentation of code" needed.
Thank you for finding the quote. I stand corrected. I think I misread this at the time as him saying that no one will see it, so it doesn’t really matter. It’s an interesting experience to wake up one day and see that the meaning of one of those old stories was exactly the opposite of your takeaway.

In hindsight there does seem to be some truth to this. What surprised me about the Hacker News codebase is that pg almost never cut corners. To this day I still find new features I never realized I wanted. On the other hand, pg never coded anything unless it was absolutely necessary for whatever he was trying to accomplish (or at least he presented his few public pieces of code as such), which is something I’ve had trouble emulating. Coding is just too much fun sometimes.

I don't believe you grasp the intricacies of motivations of people who decided to be politicians and won the race to the top where they can start wars at will. To many of them the root cause is not money, which they already have more than they can consume in many lifetimes, but the desire to grow their power.

Excellent paper. I recall it goes past simple/regular languages and can be used to parse anything without first building a lexer.
Apologies for being rude, but these kind of answers are exactly the type of answers that sre not helping solving things at all and are counterreactive. This article is not denying anything. Its telling something entirely different. Also it tries to give a slightly different look on things than usual.
Thanks for the kind words and great suggestions, I'll take a very close look into ZeroMQ, I'm also keeping an eye on NATS.

> he doesn't seem to believe in the heat death of the Universe

I’m not sure I believe that the heat death of the universe really is the end of all things forever and for all time either, after reading Asimov’s The Last Question and a particularly fantastic manga oneshot adaptation by manga artist Ryul.

If you haven’t read it, I can’t recommend it more highly, and the manga version is a nice addition to the canon. I found a version narrated by the man himself on the Internet Archive, and I also found a fully voice acted audio version from the Drabblecast, also linked below.

I learned something similar founding a startup. If I could do it again, I would have aggressively avoided pursuing the table stakes feature in our space. Instead we should have done the minimal amount to be comfortable that our architecture could support the enterprisey things. We should have then concentrated everything on something that would set us apart, something we could demo and get a “wow… I see where this could go” instead of something like “oh this is just a clone of x”.

> PAS - Personality Assesment system

> In cooperation with neuropsychologists, couples therapists, and psychologists, we have developed DIREBP. (Dyadic interpersonal romantic emotional behavior profiles).

> Each user has one DIREBP, and it represents you and your personal profile inside of the PAS. The DIREBP represent you measures of psychological personality descriptors. It keeps track of descriptors like: Extrovertism, Anxiety, The Relationships sense of Commitment, and several of hundred more descriptors.

This is very sensitive, intimate, personal information.

Does this profile stay on the device only, and are there conscious measures to prevent inadvertently leaking information about the profile (e.g., such as avoiding leaking interests implicit in secondary network accesses it makes)?

Or is this profile accessible directly by the corporate mothership?
In the CL condition system they have separated error detection (exception thrown) from handler selection (catching exception) and handler implementation (what are called "restarts".)

So basically instead of registering one handler (catch block) that is responsible both for determining the proper course of action and implementing it, the condition system allows you to register multiple "restarting points" which the handler can select from when deciding how to handle the error.

One of the restarts often used in debugging is restarting any of the functions in the call chain, i.e. just trying the same thing again. But just as common is varying some parameter or local variable and then restarting the function.

I had a moment of cognitive dissonance when skimming through a recent russian WWII series about a group of (Yak-1?) pilots and the romances between them, for at one point there was a SmerSh (Smert Shpionen) agent, and —unlike in Bond flicks– he was a good guy.

I'm sure this isn't an original idea, but I've always understood that an assert is intended for the developer, an error is intended for the user. Sometimes an assert can be by itself because you know that the invalid condition will be 'absorbed' (for want of a better word), and sometimes an assert is followed by an error because you want the developer to see more than what the error will display to the user.

I happen to mostly agree with you, and am kind of just playing devil's advocate here. But if I were the 25 year old with a negative or shaky view of free speech, I might offer this:

Suppose you were a researcher and managed to prove some conclusion about people or the world, that you knew with certainty, would be used to justify something really bad, like genocide, ethnic cleansing, racial supremacy, or similar. Would you publish it? I'd hope only the most dogmatic free speech absolutist would say yes, you have the duty to find and share truth, no matter what it is. Most others hopefully would argue: what is the purpose of your research, if not to benefit humanity? That's an extreme example with an extreme evil outcome--but how mild does the evil have to be in order for one to support publication?
Very interesting! It seems to be very good at splitting common words apart, but what about names that combine one or two words where subwords could have a negative connotation? (Not making a new word of the letters but say taking the tail end of one word and the beginning of the next word?).

They don’t need cows, but praries evolved with bison. There’s positive effects on carbon sequestration from short, intense grazing, much like a roaming herd of bison would have done. It’s not just removal of grass, it’s also nutrient cycling, enzymes in their spit stimulating additional growth nodes, hooves causing disturbance and pressing seeds into soil, all kinds of neat stuff. That’s NOT the same as cattle on public lands. It’s also not the same as fire, even though fire is awesome.

For reference, I’m a prescribed fire practitioner and manage a chunk of grassland with primitive sheep.

“data-chained” will be very valuable, especially for the system to evaluate itself and verify the work it’s performed.

this is obviously just my initial impression on a distracted Sunday but I’m very encouraged by your project and I will absolutely be following it and looking at your source code.

The detractors don’t understand LLMs and probably haven’t used them in the way you have and I have. They don’t understand that with CoT and OPA that they can be used to reason and think themselves.

I’ve used them for full automated script writing, performing the job of a software developer. I’ve also used them to create study guides and practice tests, and then grade those tests. When one implements first hand automated systems with agent frameworks using the APIs it gives a deeper understanding of their power over the basic chat usage most are familiar with.

The people arguing that your system can’t do real science are silly, as if the tedious process and logical thinking is something so complex and human that the LLMs can’t do it when used within a cognitive framework, of course they can!

Anyway I’m very exited by your project. I hope this summer to spend at least a week dedicated to setting it up and exploring potential integrations with txtai for use on private knowledge bases in addition to your public Scholarly published papers.

There are several biological processes for which we're fairly certain that some quantum mechanical process is exploited. Strictly speaking, everything about biology is ultimately explained by quantum chemistry and physics, but not in a particularly exciting way. However, I don't think anybody has found any concrete evidence that any process in biology exploits entanglement. Instead, the examples we've seen so far are mostly around tunnelling, and coherency.

People argue a lot about the "meaning of quantum" but nearly all the arguing is about the behavior of entanglement and wavefunction collapse. Tunnelling and coherency are pretty banal QM phenomena at this point.

As for Sabine... I don't find her popular science vides about biology to be particularly enlightening or accurate.

Emoji were easy to implement in Japanese because they already had an input system, and all the UI to turn phonetic into single characters: はなー＞花. From there it's trivial to implement はなー＞ as well.

They become easier to implement in European languages as we got predictions, and touch screens, but until then implementing emoji would have been much more complex.

It's a recurring pattern across industries:

1. Chinese firm enters partnership with a firm from abroad. Like manufacture X companies' product(s) on Chinese soil for its internal market. Of course this involves technology transfer in some form. And licensing deals / royalties, investments or personnel exchange back & forth, whatever.

2. Disagreement happens between the firms involved.

3. Chinese partner / subsidiary pulls out. But -crucially-

4. Continues making those products, or products employing the tech that was transferred. Can't un-learn what was learned, can you?

5. Legal conflict drags on for many years. Possibly without ever getting resolved (intentional, I'd guess).
