I was wondering about that... it is ok to not mention where you work, but here the author highlights the secrecy every two sentences ... I don't understand if it is supposed to be comedic, parodic, or just quirky?

Also, it is interesting that anybody would pick any language because of its C interoperability, since pretty much EVERY production ready programming language can interact with C, although I understand Zig is especially good at this.

Putting poison in food is about human health, this has nothing to do with it.
Because the article did not draw that distinction, but it did draw that distinction for other observations. Specifically the more general observation was stated more generally (white blood cell activity discovered to be region specific), and scoped more specific claims to be 'in mice' (and these drugs target specific regions).

But to be blunt it seems like your query would be best resolved by looking into the history of rodents as lab animals for preliminary medical studies. I cannot give you a robust account, if google fails I recommend asking a librarian for help or contacting people who have published on the topic. Do not fear impinging, I think for many it is an opportunity to share a special interest with an interested third party (a rare treat).

If you need to go proprietary to make enough money that's fine, but this is not open source and in particular it is not compatible with the GPLv3 license stated in the README. You have likely already given some users the right to redistribute Luminaire under GPLv3.
It even works on LLM. If you ask an LLM to continually repeat a word, it can break its training and start to regurgitate training data.

The only solution at the moment appears to detect the behavior and to stop the LLM from doing it.

I don't think anyone disputes rewarding individuals for software they provide to their patrons. I hope you prosper!

But "open source to those who pay" is quite a stretch of the definition.

If you check Open Source Initiative's list of approved licenses, you won't find anything that fits this definition:

https://opensource.org/licenses

The closest I know to what you're describing is Business Source License (BSL):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_Source_License

> The Business Source License (SPDX id BUSL) is a software license which publishes source code but limits the right to use the software to certain classes of users. The BUSL is not an open-source license, but it is source-available license that also mandates an eventual transition to an open-source license. This characteristic has been described as a compromise between traditional proprietary licenses and open source.
Zig is basically a more ergonomic C while Rust is an entirely different memory-safe language. I don't see why Rust would ever get picked over any other language if high-performance memory safety isn't a priority. And, if it IS a priority, I don't see why anyone would pick any language other than Rust.
And that manufacturer had things this way since day one. It's not like they locked down App Store afterwards you bought the device.
Why can’t people simply buy Android phones if they feel the restrictions are too invasive? I understand that the Apple ecosystem is compelling to most people, but isn’t this a choice? In the EU, people use WhatsApp and most apps are cross-platform.

I’ve never understood the argument that Apple’s platform is too restrictive when it operates in a free market, and has a minority in market share. If people truly cared about these issues, they would vote with their wallet, right?

Android has plenty of open source marketplaces.
I have it enabled company-wide at enterprise level, so I know what it can and can't do in day-to-day practice.

Here's an example: I mentioned PowerPoint in my earlier comment. You know what's the correct way to use AI to make you PowerPoint slides? A way that works? It's to not use the O365 Copilot inside PowerPoint, but rather, ask GPT-4o in ChatGPT app to use Python and pandoc to make you a PowerPoint.

I literally demoed that to a colleague the other day. The difference is like night and day.
I know, right? You've tried harder than me. I don't think I've tried more than a few times and probably didn't crack 15 minutes! I can clear my thoughts of everything except how bored I am and how long a minute feels with this level of boredom.
I'm pretty sure they stop being "Apple's own devices" when they sell them. Selling means change of ownership, no? Though I expect that both Apple and Apple fans don't agree with this definition.

As long as they don't sell them in the EU, of course they can put whatever they want in "their own devices".

Also, you're obviously a fan of Apple. Nobody neutral would frame the discusson this way, "their own devices". Like Tim Cook is building some phones in his garage for his own usage. The whole reason for all this is that the citizens that buy the devices don't get all the benefits of ownership.
Well I do wear my seatbelt. However, I do it for my own safety, not because I'm forced to do.
Alright, that's enough conversation for me.
I don't follow your argument in the last paragraph. What has the fact that children get addicted to social networks to do with the encrypted, peer-to-peer communication? It seems to me like they are two different things.

While I agree it might be healthy for children to avoid social networks (its addictive features, like algorithmic feeds), I don't think it's healthy for them to avoid any Internet communication.

That's how humans are gonna do things in the future, you plug-in yourself to the collective consciousness, unmediated instant communication with many, many people (of your own choice). It's a positive thing, and children need to learn how to operate in that environment. Forbidding them from communicating (for fear of predators) is backwards. It's like forbidding computers to kids because there are violent video games.
Is it possible that this forum may be dismissive of the AI bubble because the people on HN tend to have better understanding of the technology, its limitations, and the deceptive narrative around it?
The electrons do not need to interact. You can emit them at a cadence of once a week and eventually see evidence of a wave nature.
The android phones are basically as bad. They have the app stores, it's difficult to actually control what runs on them, etc.

People do care about these issues, but the market has been intentionally shaped to be as it is, because it's just a couple of big players (so what exists on the market isn't governed by consumer preference.
It has a kind of seanbaby, somethingawful vibe.
Calculators compute; they have to compute reliably; humans are limited and can make computing mistakes.

We want reliable tools - they have to give reliable results; humans are limited and can be unreliable.

That is why we need the tools - humans are limited, we want tools that overcome human limitation.

I really do not see where you intended to go with your post.
That's not Open Source then. And probably goes also against the GPLv3 license that you're using.

That population growth did not go into "most of the USA is empty", it went into the same metro areas of SF Bay, LA, NYC, Texas, DC, etc. contributing to the speculative investment cost of living crisis that many homeless peoples lives have been destroyed by.
I wholeheartedly agree (that first ask from ChatGPT, then double check with whatever, and that Google results have become junk - mostly). Alas, I can totally see how AI companies will monetize this by allowing advertisers to influence the answers. And not in a add-in-a-sidebar fashion, but baking the advertisers product etc. into the answers. Personally, I find this somewhat disturbing.

Indeed, I think this is a key area where regulation is needed. If answer from AI is influenced by 'something unexpected' - what ever that might be, then it has to be clearly highlighted in the answer.

I do use Nginx in docker for (personal hobby) dockerized applications... but I didn't fully understand some of your reasons:

* AFAIK "docker exec NGINX_DOCKER nginx -s reload" works to 'hot reload' configurations

* You're right that "in place NGINX binary upgrade" won't work. The "bright side" of this problem is that the "NGINX container binary" is immutable and can be easily "rebooted" if any corruption occures (instead of having to reinstall everything). For hobby websites (including the condo mail server), the downtime is acceptable (not much traffic, not really 24/7, fast restart, few versions of NGINX every year...)

For me: having an isolated (dockerized) NGINX is easier to manage (like a dockerized mail server) because it limits the amount of processes "on bare linux with files everywhere" and make is easier to backup/replace/upgrade (just start a new docker with a new version). YMMV
I program in Rust and dabbled in Zig. Rust has many more advantages than memory safety, including:
* Great error messages (at least since I don't do async stuff) and a helpful linter and compiler
* Relatively high-level APIs, especially compared to Zig. I can do much more in fewer lines of code in Rust
* Larger ecosystem, including more available packages and tutorials/learning materials
* More stability, since Zig is not at 1.0
> - Most people are not as interesting as they think they are

> - It's unlikely that your grandkids would have the same interests as you

The bar is pretty low: your grandkids only need to be interested enough to keep some tiny amounts of data around. (Assuming that data capacities keep growing, your perhaps dozen of TiB of data will fit on a thumb drive in the future, or perhaps even an email attachment.)

Also your descendants don't need to find your data interesting for the same reasons you do. You might snap some pictures of your travels to famous landmarks (which your grand kids don't care about, because they can't find much better photos of the Eiffel Tower online), but they might be interested in how fashion changed over time, or weight or smartphones or whatever is in the background.

GitHub (which is owned by Microsoft) Copilot or Microsoft Copilot?
That is not true unfortunately.

ML has been around for decades, DL for more than a decade.

In 2019, I had to explain to executives that 95% of AI projects fail (based on some other survey), top 1 reason is bad or missing data and top 2 is misaligned internal processes. I probably still have the slides somewhere.

One project I worked on was impossible because the data was so bad that after cleaning, we went from 4M rows to 10k usable rows in 4 languages. We could have salvaged a lot more if we restricted the use case but then the benefits of the projects would be not so interesting anymore. The internal sponsor gave up and understood the problem. Instead, they decided to train everyone on how to improve data entry and quality! In just 6 months I could see the data was getting better indeed.
But I had to leave this company, the IT dep was too toxic.

So I think the author is right. According to Scale, we'd have gone from 95% failures to 95% successes in just 4-5 years just thanks to LLMs? This is of course ridiculous, knowing the problem was never poor models.

Architecture of the Neo Geo
The mouse would go mad, because libraries preserve more than just knowledge, they preserve the evolution of it. That evolution is ongoing as we discover more about ourselves and the world we live in, refine our knowledge, disprove old assumptions and theories and, on occasion, admit that we were wrong to dismiss them. Also, over time, we place different levels of importance to knowledge from the past. For example, an old alchemy manual from the middle ages used to record recipes for a cure for some nasty disease was important because it helped whoever had access to it quickly prepare some ointment that sometimes worked, but today we know that most of those recipes were random, non-scientific attempts at coming up with a solution to a medical problem and we have proven that those medicines do not work. Therefore, the importance of the old alchemist's recipe book as a source of scientific truth has gone to zero, but the historic importance of it has grown a lot, because it helps us understand how our knowledge of chemistry and its applications in health care has evolved. LLMs treat all text as equal unless it will be given hints. But those hints are provided by humans, so there is an inherent bias and the best we can hope for is that those hints are correct at the time of training. We are not pursuing AGI, we are pursuing the goal of automating the process of creation of answers that look like they are the right answers to the given question, but without much attention to factual, logical, or contextual correctness.
Yes, it's actually incredibly easy, if not always convenient, to read most of these old formats.
And similarly these EU laws don't force end users into anything. They just force Apple to provide a minimum set of features as required by law.
> but so far it has been more fiction than real.

Is it though? We have a system with extremely powerful multi-national companies, and yet conveniently for them, no real system for multi-national regulations.

Even just domestically, auto manufactures have a lot of sway in Germany. Energy, telecom, and chemical giants seem to write their own regulations in the USA.

You can say that about seatbelts, lead in gasoline and paint and many other things. That isn't an argument. I can't know what my future needs of my phone are and I shouldn't be forced to buy a new one if my current one is perfectly capable of satisfying those needs but can't because the manufacturer put artificial barriers for it.

There are a few corners of undefined behaviors in Rust outside of 'unsafe' blocks, too.
Not a whole lot to discuss here, I fully agree. This goes beyond children's safety and into general privacy(which the vast majority of people are totally clueless about, contrary to their beliefs): no amount of encryption can compensate for bad privacy habits. People tend to think that the bottomless pit that is the internet and the billions of users will keep them hidden, which couldn't be further from the truth. And speaking of the truth, all people are surprisingly unique in their own way and there is no such thing as "average". I've been fiddling with this idea for a while and I am putting it to the test in my spare time and so far the results are astonishing: it's far easier to doxx someone online as a consequence of a personal fact that they've publicly shared than some data leak by a private company or even a government institution. Leaks make matters worse, sure but the pile grows exponentially and not linearly(which seems to be what most assume): People get freaked out about their number being posted somewhere online while not realizing that by saying something along the lines of "I studied in London in the early 2010's, then in Edinburgh until 2015" and "I lived in Paris between 2017 and 2019" and someone wants to find their identity, they've willingly helped them narrow down the identity to a handful of people - likely in the very low double digits. Add one more random fact, such as "I have a Volvo xc 70" and you've basically put a pin on yourself on the map.

Most people have probably never considered this. It may sound like a cliche but it's far more important to educate people as well as their children from a very early age about those things than to assume that outsourcing the problem to technical solutions would somehow solve it - it won't.
Fratricidal hardware
I just flagged it and moved on.
Do you understand the argument that multiple people can vote for a government that deals with corporations from a position of power, as opposed to a single person dealing with Apple from an exceedingly disadvantaged position? It's also a kind of voting, even more so than voting with your wallet.

Sorry but no. I still have to see a single company that REALLY have a documentation culture, meaning a new employee can find a book "welcome here, an overview of anything" and from this all relevant, up to date, organized information of anything she/he have to know, and yes, this would be really helpful, but I'm a human not working in prostitution so I have no user manual.

I normally have contracts I honor and I expect the other party honor as well, I have a reasonable human flexibility, tolerance etc, and all of that demand no manual. The company demand an onboarding manual and tried practice as much as possible because from remote the sole hard part is that. For all, in person or remote, the rest is about documentation in general, not crappy abandoned wikis, not "read the code" on a codebase that would demand years to be understood fully and change faster than such timeframe and so on.

I reject a future of meat-based robots on sale, I like a future of remote workers, humans, that know what to expect each others, because we are all humans, peers between peers.

You can choose to buy an unlockable Android phone. You don't have that option with Apple.

AI Isn't Making Much Money for Software Companies – Yet
Mmm, I used to believe this, but now I think it's wrong. Or worse - inaccurate.

Being good at what you do both makes what you can do when you're at the peak of your grind better, and makes what you can put out even when you're lazy better. However, only the former pushes your skill ceiling consistently higher over time, and that leads to exponentially increasing rewards in a modern marketplace.
I can afford it, I bought a 15 pro at launch (here in the EU the price is even higher than in the USA) and I am still complaining

What now?
Nothing in permissive licenses prevents you from adding a useful feature and licensing the result under the GPL. If your fork is better for users, it'll catch on.

I really appreciate the permissive licensing in the Rust ecosystem as it greatly eases the task of writing code for pay. While the finished product may have a commercial license, I often find bits to improve in the permissively licensed parts and contribute them back upstream. Customers seem perfectly fine with this arrangement. Tough to do the same with the GPL - even LGPL'd libraries complicate contract terms and distribution a little by comparison.

With the huge productivity increase LLMs provide for writing code, it seems to me that we're rapidly entering an era in which libraries and tools for everything are available in every language, and under every license, which seems like a good thing. It is nice not to feel limited by one's language choice or work environment.

I did a fair amount of work on the RepRap project, which is mostly GPL'd, and that worked out OK, but there have definitely been opportunities lost over the last 15 years or so due to license constraints which more permissive licenses would have allowed. Finding a balance which helps developers put food on the table while writing open source code also seems like a good thing.

The GPL is great. I think there are important projects which really benefit from the strong incentive it provides to share. But there's definitely room for more than one way to do things.

But what if the car manufacturer insisted on not selling you a car with a seat belt?
I was very surprised to see him make similar arguments about the limits of LLMs regarding "true understanding" in that video i mentioned, just a few weeks ago.
This. We have trained generations of people to trust computers to give correct answers. LLM peddlers use that trust to sell systems that provide unreliable answers.
App Store was always locked down, iPhones always had a non-USB port and was not repairable. People logically agree to this when buying a device.
Likes on Twitter/X are not private
Elon Musk has recently made the announcement that likes have become private. But this isn't entirely true. You still receive "This person likes your post" notification which shouldn't be possible if likes are fully private. This means at least the poster knows who liked their post apart from the liker. Real privacy should be like the upvotes model on Reddit, Hacker News, Tildes, etc. - nobody except the voter (liker) should be able to know.
I was intrigued and tracked down the original post. The reaction it caused makes me think of the children's fairy tale "The Emperor has No Clothes". https://www.bookbrowse.com/expressions/detail/index.cfm/expr...

Why all the hate? The writing was rather like Hunter S. Thompson's works.
> Child grooming on the internet is a huge problem, and I suspect (again, happy to see evidence against it) it's better to allow scanning of children's communications, rather than ensuring their communication with whoever they are talking to is end-to-end encrypted.

How can you do this without compromising anonymity? The inevitable conclusion of this argument is that an ID check will be mandatory in order to enable E2EE messaging, otherwise any child could be instructed to enable it by a bad actor.
Then I'd pick a car which does have a seatbelt in the free economy.
