Nostr would be so cool if it wasn't associated with bitcoin. I know the protocol has nothing to do with crypto currencies whatsoever, but the people who use it are predominantly in that world.

This is a cool project though, so nice job! I'm not sure if a blog is the best use case (regular static blogs are faster and easier), but maybe it would make more sense for other concepts.

I have found that refactoring erlang is NOT like refactoring code in other languages, non trivial refactoring in rust is a LOT more complicated however I do understand the fuzzy feelings you get when type-safe code compiles correctly.

Most erlang refactoring that I see needing to be done is simply reapplying a different pattern to the gen_server or distributing load differently. I believe if refactoring is a "complex problem", the development team had not designed with OTP behaviors in mind. My view may be because I have limited experience in refactoring my erlang due to being a solo developer and my mind is stuck in OTP land, please correct me if you've experienced it differently, I feel that you're perhaps painting the picture a little unfairly there.

If programmers need type-safeness for BEAM and I believe Gleam Language supplies the security blanket that other languages provide. From my limited experience it does NOT provide any additional "speed" (I expect there are not many compiler optimisations that end up down on the BEAM level) however it does give you that level of confidence that you're not going to be passing garbage data through your functions.

I haven't taken anything you have said as a personal (or even against erlang), thank you for the discussion points.

> Yeah no thanks. Soo `a-b` and `a - b` are both potentially valid and different?

Like what the sibling comment said: `-b` should be illegal. And I don’t think this would be a big deal in practice for experienced users (used to these rules).

For beginners you could build in an error check: give a dedicated error message if you write `a-b` but you happen to have both variables `a` and `b`. Then the compiler can tell that you probably meant `a - b`.

> Also allowing hyphens generally leads to issues when interoperating with other languages that don't support hyphens.

This is likely why Coding assistants are talked about in glowing terms. “35% increased coder productivity with co-pilot.”

This still hits the “expert required” problem. Use an LLM to code in a language or domain you have 0 experience in.

Contrast your experience with that of any explainer video where an expert in a domain uses an LLM to make an MVP.

Experts will get something up in the span of a video. They will avoid innumerable mis-steps and rabbit holes because they know code that gets to the result effectively on sight.

Non experts wont even know what part of the output is wrong.

——-

Generalize this problem away from code. Think of financial models and another version of the verification problem.

Your LLM works, it feeds signal into a financial model that predicts the future value of a firm.

The model output is dramatically out of sync with market estimates.

If an analyst showed this result, they would be told to fix their excel or tweak the assumptions. Thats the typical “verification” loop.

Let’s say hyou tune the model to get to 99.9%. I still have to run sampling /EVALS / QC all the time to make sure my output is within tolerances.

I still need to know that I can expect X% accuracy, that we have a plan for the 1-X% cases, and that this isn’t going to overwhelm the people with domain expertise in my team.
I'm guessing they mean with some type of procedural generation or another randomization approach in mind that creates a bunch of new maps, bosses, vehicles even!

I agree that there is discrimination in the occupied territories. I also have the personal view that Israelis should not be in the occupied territories (the settlements), and that there needs to be a clear path to a Palestinian state. Clearly, simply removing the settlements and withdrawing from Gaza without a better plan was not sufficient.

I also do not understand what this has to do with anti-Zionism in that Zionism is the notion that the Jews have a right to a homeland, and not be relegated as a people to the hims of others. Yes, there is an occupation of West Bank/Gaza, however, I would not deny the right of the Persians to have an Iran, even though I am very much against their current government, and they have taken over control and created misery in other countries (Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, and are attempting to do so in Iraq and Syria).

You can be against the current government of Israel, you can be against occupation (as many people, including Israeli's are), but to be against the existence of a Jewish state (anti-Zionism) without being against an Egyptian state, a Persian state, a Jordanian state, etc is singling out the Jews, and needs to be called what it is.
but remember it also has a gasoline engine - so after 12 hours you can always start the gas engine to power your house for ~a week on a tank of fuel.

It is indeed many packages, but if you look into the dependencies and code, docs is full blown standalone HTTP async server which uses tokio, AWS S3 and Postgresql. It is used to host the docs.rs where is the documentation of every cargo project.

>How do people feel about LLM generated tests?

I used just ChatGPT and Copilot.

For very simple test cases of simple methods/functions it's ok. Once code starts to complicate, you'll lose much more time trying to steer the LLM into writing what you need, than simply doing it yourself. In particular setting up and creating mocks seems where the most difficulty lies.

Once you create the test, you can use the LLM as a code completion tool, to test for more things once you get a complex result. Or you can ask it to extrapolate from test data to create more test cases.

But anyway, no major tech company will let its AI loose to the public un-lobotomized, as we all saw what happens; the risks of negative press are too high, so if you do want to generate absolutely everything your heart desires, you'll have to run your own independent model locally without using their products, so for this demographic, Microsoft's Copilot is useless, but probably for the casual user it has some uses.

ly5:
The universe is made of two kinds of particles, Bosons and Fermions. Light is a boson. Most of the stuff we touch is made of Fermions. Electricity is fermions also.

Bosons, like light, don't like to interact with things. They just want to go places, as fast as they possibly can. So if you want a particle to carry information from point A to point B, light is great. Point it in the right direction and off it goes, and it won't interact with anything unless it absolutely as to.

Fermions, like electrons, love bumping into each other and changing each other. They like to make atoms and collide and bounce off each other all the time. So if you want to build a switch or a microchip where lots of things connect to each other to do some big complicated task like computing lots of math then electrons work really well.

But if you try to get photons to dance together to do something complicated you'll have a hard time. They only interact with each other and the stuff around them when things are just right, and then only in limited ways.

And if you try to use electrons to move data over any kind of distance that's hard too. They're constantly stopping to chat with atoms they find along the way, turning the energy of your message into heat.

How's that?
Maybe so, maybe not, whatever. None of that changes my point: you'll get a 'hegemon' whether you want one or not, and no, it won't be the UN. It will either be a US-led alliance or one led by China. The world is becoming more polarized, not less, and I don't see how that trend can be reversed.

By the same token, at the national level, it's possible that dictatorship will emerge as the only stable model of governance. People everywhere seem to want it. The only principle that actually matters in politics turns out to be "Screw the other guy," and dictators are the best at that. If so, the US's ability to protest and resist its central government will turn out to be maladaptive, giving the advantage to the China-Russia alliance in the long run.

As for the church, they still own the land but not the hearts and minds. Or the nukes. Religion is irrelevant at the international scope. But of course it's still as useful to the rulers of individual nations as ever, because you can't maintain a cult of personality without exploiting the same mental bug that the church originally stumbled across.

Crazy expensive solar panels? Depending on where you live they can be gotten for less than $120 USD for a half kW panel, retail cost.

It gets expensive if you insist on a hybrid inverter and battery. But even then, you can get full ROI in less than five years in some locations. ROI is highly dependent on local labor costs, tariffs, grid electricity costs, local solar irradiance, and net metering arrangements.
> [..] in response to your use of ignorance as a defense for ignoring airplane crew instructions.

Unless I come from an alternate universe - most people wear their seatbelt during take-off and landing and when the seatbelt light comes on.

I wear mine through most of the flight but I only started doing this fairly recently because I learned more about turbulence.

I'm not defending ignorance at all. I'm simply describing how poorly the risks are communicated and the reality that most people I've observed don't wear seatbelts for the entire duration of a flight unless the warning light comes on.
I don't get why you would do this in a world where prototyping is so extremely cheap. Even if you have no hardware, you can easily get e.g. a resin 3D printed model made for very little money, just as a sanity check. See if it mechanically fits, alignment looks right, etc.
Rate limiters can also help scrape a site that doesn't like it, like Facebook. We use them to keep our scraping rate below the service's own rate limits.

But the simple algorithms are not at all covert. We assume companies can deploy rate limiting detectors. So we ask, are there rate limiting algorithms designed to evade detection?

In one solution, we train an HMM on the inter-request times of a human user. This gives us a much more covert rate limiter! But how does it perform against state of the art detectors?

In quantum mechanics, bosons are (often massless) force carrying particles like photons or gluons. Fermions are the massive matter particles, such as electrons or quarks.

So, while I’ve never heard this saying before, I assume it’s meaning is that massless particles like photons are best for carrying information around (rather than electrons we are using in circuits today), while the electrons are best for carrying state, like in a switch.

Note, that in networking we have already made that transition by using fiber optics, rather than electric wire to transfer information over longer distances.

> How do people feel about LLM generated tests?

LLM generated tests are the ultimate response to “Our CTO wants high test coverage but we all know it’s bullshit and provides little to no value”. They exist to tick a checkbox.

Maybe there’s a little value in using these as regression tests. Beyonce rule and all that. Kinda like double entry accounting. “Oh the code makes the same mistake in 2 places, that must mean it’s on purpose”
(Disclosure: I’m an Antithesis employee.)

It’s briefly mentioned in a footnote here, but we have a lot of debugging war stories around the hypervisor protocol, many of which could themselves be blog posts. My personal favorite: we expected a certain hyperproperty related to determinism to hold during a refactor of the component on the other end of the hypervisor, but it was only holding some of the time, depending on the values of some parameters that were getting randomized during our testing. We dug in and figured out that, because we were round-robining across proposers of protocol messages into several pipelines, determinism held iff the number of proposers divided the number of pipelines or vice versa, and totally failed if they were coprime! If they had a smaller common factor greater than 1, there would be “partial determinism.” We very rarely ditch a suggested test property instead of trying to make it work, but that time we were defeated by number theory.

This is subject to survivorship bias. Balatro is a great game that deserves its success. But it's easy to imagine a universe where it simply never got any traction, anywhere, and died in obscurity. Conversely, this suggests that in our current universe, many games just as great as Balatro have quietly passed without ever getting their 15 minutes of fame.

At the end of the day, much of success just hinges on luck. There is no law of the universe that says that great art must be appreciated.
