Yes and even Dennis Ritchie failed to have WG14 caring about them.

Not that his proposal was perfect, but WG14 didn't even bothered to improve upon it.
Except for maybe in kernel projects, C code already is old code. As far as I can tell, (modern) C++ is the oldest common language for new projects.

Rust is already part of the Linux kernel, being used for rather complex things like GPU drivers in Asahi. Android rewrote their Bluetooth stack into Rust and Windows is actively replacing existing operating system components with Rust as well. I don't think we'll need to wait for Zig to start replacing old C code, it's already being replaced with Rust now.

I think Zig would've been a better choice for some parts, but it's taking too long to become stable for it to be included in large projects. Still, it may be useful for people working on embedded stuff, as embedded code seems to be stuck with 90s C when it comes to language support, if someone can manage to write a compiler backend for that specific embedded chip.

-> the Lisp linked lists were gone

Cons cells and linked lists are not completely gone, though:

Cons cells however are somewhat limited in that the second argument to cons must be an ISeq.
I’ve never seen a compiler that can answer the question: “what is the purpose of this function?” On the other hand, if I ask a human that question about a particular function and they are unable to answer it satisfactorily, I would have an extremely difficult time believing that they understand it.

Despite what we might think about their feature set, it is quite relevant that Alef, Limbo and Go were designed by the UNIX folks, and all of them don't repeat the same mistake with arrays and strings.

In a world where we increasingly don't own software but we rent it, is hard to imagine that shareware even existed.

As a kid I remember playing only first level of Doom, because it was distributed as a shareware and didn't have money to buy the game.

I remember saving money and buying computer magazines and then installing all the shareware they had on floppy disks, out of curiosity. For me the discovery process was fascinating.
You're also not everybody. Have you gone around asking people how much of them will craft anything with their hands without a lot of guidance?

I imagine most of the stuff will be collecting dust almost all the time, especially as the safety requirements will preclude students using them without supervision.
Note also, although my project details the construction of a Raspberry Pi recorder for high accuracy localization. If you are localizing over long distances and you are happy a second or two inaccuracy from the arrival times, then indeed you can run the docker version of the program listed on GitHub and perform localizations based on mobile phone determinations of time of arrival. You just have to match the correct input format as detailed in the article. Specifically like the following:

$ docker run -i localize_event 20

It’s lovely to work things out for yourself but he could have saved himself some weeks of sleep by googling sound localization if that was his primary interest :-)

> Strange that the people in the trenches are saying that AI is helping them, but people on HN are screaming that AI is useless…

I mean, it sounds a lot like a standard management failure mode, which must be about half a century old at this stage: pretend you can get by on X% of staff due to [faddish pretext], then a year later when the cracks start showing quietly hire more people again. The nature of the fad changes, but the basic story is generally about the same.

Actually, I’m not sure it’s even that; at this point the claim seems to be that they _can_ get by on 30% of the staff, not that they _are doing so_. There’s a decent chance this is just a case of “oh, shit, earnings call coming up, we have to mention AI because the markets like that”, tbh.

"Second things like call centers, the language models have become so sophisticated now. They can operate in multiple languages, 14, 15 languages easily. In the past, that hasn't been something we can do. So we can redeploy people off that given that the AI can do it."

So true. What it did come for was my part time job of taking a png in a folder, create 5 sizes with the size appended to the file names, put these in a subfolder, convert all sizes to avif and webp and generate the picture html block for the image (avif with fallback webp. png sizes are deleted, original png archived). It took one prompt to get that script and I only changed the name of it to dothis.sh it works with one or 258 .png files in the folder.

However, today, the markets, which can remain irrational longer than anyone can remain solvent, would punish Google for this; it has to go along pretending this is a real thing for a bit longer.

oh social media are just the _means_ by which a most profitable atmosphere is created.

it's a bit akin to Santa Clause and Christmas shopping. shopping areas flood synapses with visual auditive and olfactory impressions because that lowers internal barriers to spending. the whole purpose of the western style pre Christmas frenzy is more sales.

if it was for inner transformation spiritual something, Christmas would look like pre Santa Clause (a guy in a highly carnevalistic red suit but I digress). pre coca cola Santa Clause, Christmas was a time of fasting, one candle, then two, then three, then four, and the family sitting together and _creating_ gifts for each other.

in the very same vein, social media are the pipe dream of 24/7 advertisement flooding. to increase sales. and fun it works for influencing elections, too!

even if social media (not: social networks!) were innocent, those placing targeted content for political or financial profit or both are not. and social media is the means they use.

Yes, I was inaxact, sorry for that. Note that the term "mother" tongue is problematic in this context anyway, as there are many examples of caregivers and school systems not being fluent in sign language. I know a 70-something woman which turned out to have a deaf brother. Observing her while he was around, she didn't sign to him, she simply expected him to read from her lips. Which is very telling. Sign language is considered "their language" from her point of view, and she never aspired to actually learn it. After 50+ years of having a deaf brother... Just a recent anecdote, but still the norm. Deaf people have also been prevented from signing in certain schools. Similar things happened in the early days of Braille. Luis Braille never lived to see his system being used officially. He taught it in secret, as the power that be actually prevented it from being used for many decades. If you look long enough, there is a lot of patrnosation and ignorance in the way disabled people are treated by society, past and present.

> xAI will continue on this steep trajectory of progress over the coming months, with multiple exciting technology updates and products soon to be announced.

There is a lot of potential for using AI in drug discovery and development, biotech more broadly and chemistry/material science. Pharma is investing heavily in this right now. If useful, the output here could potentially also support Neuralink and even SpaceX.

Coupled with the line about the "true nature of the universe", I guessed this was really about entering that space.

But when you look at the careers page [https://x.ai/careers#open-roles], they are only hiring AI engineers. No biochemists or MDs, material scientists or any other natural science domains. So, if natural science discovery is actually on the road map, either:
- it is in the long term future
- they have no idea what they are doing

More likely, they are not going for natural science and this is basically just a play to compete with openAI. And, in that case, I don't understand how they convinced investors to put 6 billion dollars into it.

I've done a fair amount of audio engineering, and my perception today of Meet was that it wasn't the simple threshold / noise gate that I would expect. For instance, I could see her moving her lips and putting down dishes, which I'm sure were noisy, but until she spoke loudly enough for a recognizable voice to overcome the dish sounds, she was essentially muted by the app. I think it was being gated based on vocal range or actual identifiable speech, not just volume. That was what seemed new to me.

1: used for boosting exercise and losing weight. Good for boosting energy and the combo reduces caffeine crash. A few sports players have died from using it + bad hearts. It’s still accessible. Seemed like I could eat a massive amount of clean food with a good ratio of protein/fat/carbs, gain strength, and the weight gains were clean while losing waist inches. Tracking body measurements were necessary.

2: exercise and losing weight. Very good stimulant effect and to hit new personal records. Can give headaches so I cut the dose to 1/4 or 1/2. Great for overcoming the not wanting to work out days which leads to more exercise days per week and a more healthy lifestyle.

3: hard to tell what is really in it. Possibly something illegal but if you work 12 hours and need to then drive 12 hours to get home without falling asleep, this was what I would reach for. Found at the checkout counter at popular truck stops.

There are a lot of people coming to Python now, even among us who already code in other languages. The first thing I noticed was a confusing variety of ways to install Python, plus a lot of necessary-but-confusing tools for version management, package management, and environment management. I wrote a guide for my mac.install.guide website about installing Python [0] and then condensed it for freeCodeCamp [1].

In a nutshell, I recommend installing Python with Rye [2], an all-in-one project management tool for Python, written in Rust (for speed) and inspired by Cargo, borrowing a folder-based approach to development from other languages such as JavaScript and Ruby. Other people like Pyenv/Venv/Pip but I think it's easier to use a single all-in-one tool.
