That is a very, very tiny subset of things that are installed on any GNU or BSD system, and that need to get security fixes. Just recall the xz/sshd/system debacle, to patch your system all you needed was to replace libxz / libzma -- a DSO! This obviously ignores lots of other work -- but that work would have ballooned if standard practise was to statically link everything.

The amount of work spent finding usages of static linkage, and figuring out which version of libxz (or whatever it was called) just to be very sure that one wasn't using the compromised version was atrocious, no thanks.
Hey, thanks for commenting. Sure I would love for you to try it. I believe between this week and next week I will start giving early access to all those users that have signed in the Waitlist.

Shortly after we built our first inventory app, we realized that resellers quickly get lost in their stock... not only that, they would love if their customers could also see what they have on sale - in a bit easier manner, than scrolling over a feed.

So we got down and started making it! We currently only deal with shoes, in the fashion sub-genre, but soon want to add clothing as well!

hybrid works are a kind of compromise to keep the office model, so the city model, up a bit more, some hope enough to reach the 2030 WEF goal "you'll own nothing" because anything is a service, something to rent, and they are the sole owners of anything regulating the economy as they want simply regulating rent prices of anything allowing them to keep anyone in de-facto slavery and ensuring no one can save money. As much as you earn you'll spend in service.

So no thanks. I a job can be done from remote there is NO REASON to want people in an office some times a week. Hybrid means the worst of both world: you need to be near the office anyway, so keep workers living costs high and quality of life low respect of living in nature in a well served place, meanwhile you are still in a city so with far less social file IRL outside the working hours than living in a less populated place. Hybrid means often laptops instead of real desktops, they can be docked of course but they are still sub-optimal iron for desktop replacer usage.

When people will understand I hope they'll punish all companies that now push the hybrid approach living them to a sore destiny.

Nice reductio ad absurdum. Clearly most SaaS are not wrappers around AWS. Unless you want to say an operating system is a wrapper around the hardware, RAID is a wrapper around disks, etc.

The difference being they add something meaningful which most AI SaaS apps don't (they have a UI that's not any better than the original chatbots and simply have a system prompt that does something -- which the user could easily enter in their own chatbot through custom instructions and whatnot).

IMO, it makes more sense to think about Python or another high level language as glue code for all these C/Rust/Cuda/OpenCL kernels. Why would you choose something like Rust to also write the glue code in? Most people will be slowed down quite a bit by the language overhead, and the people writing this code need results last month.

People in America talk so much about how certain people have "privileges" over others, when one of the biggest privileges in the world - and one of the most sought after - is being American. I can see this clearly having grown up outside the US, but I'm often stunned when people here don't realize that. Even a poor person in the US is fairly rich by world standards, even if compared to big chunks of Europe.
Python is a great language for ML because it allows gluing stuff together quickly. Using a 100% statically compiled language would slow things down, and the typing wouldn't help much because most languages can't properly type check tensor operations, and ones that can (like C++) tend to have awful compile times. The state of the art is tracing the execution and compiling it to a ML-specialised compiler (XLA for Jax, torch.compile for Torch), which is much harder or impossible to do in a compiled language.

Well, this is a slap in the face. ChromeOS has had a long-standing tradition of requiring device kernels to be in their tree. Giving them a better shot at long-term/community/Linux support.

It's hard to not cynically read this as "we're making it easier for our partners to ship devices with vendor kernels".

I'm pretty shocked. I would've bet good money at this having gone the opposite direction, with ARC already on ChromeOS, etc.
An interesting counterpoint to this is the use of telepathy in Ursula K. Le Guin's Hainish cycle, which is generally considered as more "soft" sci-fi. Several of the early books in the series revolve around "mindspeech", which is a form of telepathy in which it's impossible to knowingly lie:

> Mindspeech between two intelligences could be incoherent or insane, and could of course involve error, misbelief; but it could not be misused. Between thought and spoken word is a gap where intention can enter, the symbol be twisted aside, and the lie come to be. Between thought and sent-thought is no gap; they are one act. There is no room for the lie. (City of Illusions)

In her later works in the same setting, Le Guin backed off from this, although she never explicitly retconned it out of existence:

> I couldn’t use it in a story any more, because when I began to think seriously about the incalculable effects mutual telepathy would have on a society, I could no longer, as it were, believe in it. I’d have to fake it.

I wonder how much he was fine (if he was - they also have caning as a penalty). Singapore is known to be incredibly strict with criminal punishments. There was a recent $8 billion money laundering case that garnered international headlines because SG is known to be corruption-free for the most part. I'm sure you can find the reasons for verdict (SG has no jury trials) and reasons for sentence. Generally, an incredibly well run state IMHO.

Starship Troopers also had "special talents" -- "sensers" capable of detecting and mapping Bug tunnels underground, "memory men", "lucky men", and telepaths.

Heinlein at least nods to the possibility that the sensers' abilities were the product of very powerful hearing, but telepathy would be tougher to explain that way.
In the case of Rust the fast feedback loop is facilitated by the `cargo check` command which halts compilation after typechecking. Unlike in Swift the typechecking phase in Rust is not a significant contributor to compilation times and so skipping code generation, optimization, and linking is sufficient for subsecond feedback loops.
Even just cynically, it doesn't even work:

This article from Berlin is very interesting. The city presents two totally different universes when it comes to renting an apartment. Either you're one of the lucky ones to secure a rent-controlled unit and never (literally never) officially leave the unit. Folks often do under-the-table deals to keep the price low for their friends. It's so common that rental websites even advertise "house swap" deals where you swap units and keep the contracts under the same names.

Or you're out of luck and will pay much higher rent prices since you can't get a rent-controlled unit. It's a wealth redistribution scheme that benefits whoever is lucky enough to secure a contract, not necessarily someone who needs it. I know software engineers in Berlin who make 100k Euros and pay 700 Euros/month in rent, while someone who makes 30k Euros pays 1500 Euros/month.

Rent control is so obviously broken, and I am shocked at how it is never properly criticized. Maybe because on the surface it seems like a nice deal: "lower rents are good!" However, the unintended consequences, such as reduced housing quality, decreased mobility, and increased rents for uncontrolled units, show that the policy often does more harm than good.
I think it's about managers of managers who perform no real work beyond listening to status reports about Actual Work and giving instructions to managers who then give instructions to people who do Actual Work, and those top level folks feeling like they have few levers to make the Actual Work better or faster, but this RTO feels like a big easy lever to pull.

Which is basically Russian propaganda. NATO is an invite-only alliance. Ukraine has been begging to be in it, but Russia creates alliances the old-fashioned way - by invading, then raping and pillaging. Name one country that NATO "forced" into the alliance, I'll wait.

All this talk of "poor Russia and its thirteen timezones felt threatened by a defensive alliance" is complete bullshit. It's the "she looked at me wrong so I stabbed her" defense, and the fact that Chomsky could not see right through this is telling.

The explanation is much simpler - Putin wanted to add a slice to the empire, and miscalculated that the West would do nothing, like it did before. And then the bitching and moaning ensued.

Did the neutral Sweden consider joining NATO before the invasion? No. Poor Russia, besieged by all sides by the neighbors who do not want to die defending against Russian recidivist meat waves and in torture cellars.

Just. Stop. It.

I've seen several baffling instances of universities taking years to investigate obvious things and then in the end effectively doing nothing. Like really clear falsification situations that should just get several people fired and other people sanctioned for not noticing.

https://www.science.org/content/article/researchers-plan-ret...

Like here, there's people there who should just be booted from the university. It took two years for anybody to even retract the paper. The professor in question had several black marks for what I'd call fraud, and yet still hold a position at the University of Minnesota. Which at this point isn't the researcher's fault but the university's.
This article[1] does a good job of laying out the argument from trends and arguing that taking the trends seriously suggests reaching AGI in a few years.

Admittedly, my own argument in favor of near-term AGI is much less sophisticated but is also largely based on extrapolating trends and noting the leaps in capabilities that can come from singular architectural innovations. The GPT family has been amazingly productive, and they result from largely a single architectural innovation. They have glaring deficiencies, but their failures are fairly well understood and overcoming them are basically engineering problems at this point. Whereas 10 years ago no one had any idea how to get from the SOTA at the time to AGI, I see a clear path to it from here.

> Nothing breaks my flow like waiting for compilation. With a sufficiently fast compiler (and Go is not fast enough for me), you can run it on every keystroke and get realtime feedback on your code.

I already get fast feedback on my code inlined in my editor, and for most languages it only takes 1-2 seconds after I finish typing to update (much longer for Rust, of course). I've never personally found that those 1-2 seconds are a barrier, since I type way faster than I can think anyway.

By the time I've finished typing and am ready to evaluate what I've written, the error highlighting has already popped up letting me know what's wrong.
