Because of this, in the JDK we've adopted a model we call "tip & tail". The idea is that there are multiple release trains, but they're done in such a way that 1/ different release trains target different audiences and 2/ the model is cheap to maintain -- cheaper, in fact, than many others, especially that of a single release train.

The idea is to realise that there are two different classes of consumers who want different things, and rather than try to find a compromise that would not fully satisfy either group (and turns out to be more expensive to boot), we offer multiple release trains for different people.

One release train, called the tip, contains new features and performance enhancements in addition to bug fixes and security patches. Applications that are still evolving can benefit from new features and enhancements and have the resources to adopt them (by definition, or else they wouldn't be able to use the new features).

Then there are multiple "tail" release trains aimed at applications that are not interested in new features because they don't evolve much anymore (they're "legacy"). These applications value stability over everything else, which is why only security patches and fixes to the most severe bugs are backported to them. This also makes maintaining them cheap, because security patches and major bugs are not common. We fork off a new tail release train from the tip every once in a while (currently, every 2 years).

Some tail users may want to benefit from performance improvements and are willing to take the stability risk involved in having them backported, but they can obviously live without them because they have so far. If their absence were painful enough to justify increasing their resources, they could invest in migrating to a newer tail once. Nevertheless, we do offer a "tail with performance enhancements" release train in special circumstances (if there's sufficient demand) -- for pay.

The challenge is getting people to understand this. Many want a particular enhancement they personally need backported, because they think that a "patch" with a significant enhancement is safer than a new feature release. They've yet to internalise that what matters isn't how a version is called (we don't use semantic versioning because we think it is unhelpful and necessarily misleading), but that there's an inherent tension between enhancements and stability. You can get more of one or the other, but not both.
My friends are mostly Bdesh expats at this point. I wonder how dangerous it would be to setup a link from Bdesh into India. It would be a useful lifeline. Best wishes for the students and the people of Bdesh, but the stuff we were seeing as late as yesterday on Twitter was ugly. I hope those that can are using their mobiles to take proof.

> The Galaxy S5 is very good about reminding you close your charger door snugly and make sure your battery cover is snapped on COMPLETELY before continuing. This is a message you shouldn’t dismiss (although it allows you to) because the reminder is a good one. I can say with confidence that during both water tests my phone back cover and battery port were completely secured.

It is a critical problem if your entire record of life-saving drugs you've given them in the past 24 hours suddenly goes down. You have to start relying on people's memories, and it's made worse by shift turn-overs so the relevant information may not even be reachable once the previous shift has gone home.

There are plenty of drugs that can only be given in certain quantities over a certain period of time, and if you go beyond that, it makes the patient worse not better. Similarly there are plenty of bad drug interactions where whether you take a given course of action now is directly dependent on which drugs that patient has already been given. And of course you need to monitor the patient's progress over time to know if the treatments have been working and how to adjust them, so if you suddenly lose the record of all dosages given and all records of their vital signs, you've lost all the information you need to treat them well. Imagine being dropped off in the middle of nowhere, randomly, without a GPS.
Ok but the commercial aviation industry already has massive government regulation and oversight and yet Boeing. Something else is wrong and I dont even think it is something that even government can fix.

Add: I think this is related to the failure of the USSR. And by definition that was government everywhere.
What Windows was known for in the 1990s, is good quality 1st party drivers. Then after Windows achieved monopoly status they shifted driver responsibility to device manufacturers. I have never had to install a third party driver on a Mac, but on Windows I do. If Apple can do it Microsoft can too.

The 'Skip this Update [pro]' button example (Docker Desktop) just made me facepalm and helped me internalize that I'm not a luddite from technology, I'm a luddite from the collectives of people (not the individual people...(!) ) feeling compelled to craft these dark business patterns.

Yesn't, many still release updates frequently as long (usually, if server etc.) as they are compatible. Mostly though only minor updates for features.

This is required for some components, like, e.g., glibc or openssh, to stay secure-ish.

I used to own an API service at work, where we worked hard to ensure that the documentation was of a very high quality. When I got promoted and moved to a new team, I'd warned my manager NOT to hand it over to one team that was remarkably bad at their work. My manager did anyway.

During the transition, the new development lead said "I'm not going to read the documentation. If the code isn't self-documenting, we're going to rewrite it." Note that he said that not knowing anything about the service they were taking over. Also, it was in a language that had never established strong patterns for itself, so self-documenting when there are no strong patterns is generally meaningless.

Over the next 6 months, he proceeded to ruin the service to the point where it was impacting customers, and got fired for it. In any project of large enough size, self-documenting code falls apart unless you are remarkably good at it. IMO, Go's standard library is an exception to my experience.

On the flip side, if nobody uses it - including yourself - why bother improving it?

Have you ever tried to airgap a gigantic wifi network across several buildings?

Has to be wifi because the carts the nurses use roll around. Has to be networked so you can have EMR's that keep track of what your patients have gotten and the Pharmacists, doctors, and nurses can interface with the Pyxis machines correctly. The nurse scans a patients barcode at the Pyxis, the drawer opens to give them the drugs, and then they go into the patient's room and scan the drug barcode and the patients barcode before administering the drug. This system is to prevent the wrong drug from being administered, and has dramatically dropped the rates of mis-administering drugs. The network has to be everywhere on campus (often times across many buildings). Then the doctor needs to see the results of the tests and imaging- who is running around delivering all of these scans to the right doctors?

You don't know what you are talking about if you think this is easy.
Mm. To me, I think ChatGPT has a certain voice, not sure about the other LLMs.

But perhaps I'm wrong. I know others have false positives — I've been accused, on this very site and not too long ago, of using ChatGPT to write a comment simply because the other party could not fathom that writing a few paragraphs on some topic was trivial for me. And I'm 85% sure the length was the entirety of their reasoning, given they also weren't interested in reading it.

The issue is that the AI shit is flooding out anything good. Nearly any metric you can think of to measure "good" by is being gamed ATM which makes it really hard to actually find something good. Impossible to discover new/smaller authors.

Not as far as I can tell. You're right that China does seem to be in a fairly unique position to actually do this though - it is interesting to consider what would happen if they did. Looking at recent engineering failures at Boeing, Tesla, Volkswagen etc., such enforcement of engineering standards could even give them a competitive advantage on the world stage in a way that markets captured by lobbyists could never realistically achieve.
AI Confounds Assumptions of a Clean Energy Future
I find this notion that America values individualism bizarre, given how authoritarian American society is - the extent of state control and violence that is tolerated seems entirely foreign to me, and yet the same US government is supposedly scared of shutting down attempts at vigilantist violence? It doesn't pass the smell test for me.

I also find this American exceptionalism unconvincing. No, you are not uniquely barbaric brutes unable to reason about the morality of your actions.

Nor is this about the US vs. Norway. There are plenty of places with more lenient prison systems without any such huge waves of vigilantism. There's no evidence to suggest more lenient sentencing would cause vigilantism of a level that can't be stopped just like other violent crime.

It’s tanks vs sticks, the govt will prevail. In a few days we’ll all forget about this.

That said, I personally believe the future of the country lies in private enterprise - not govt jobs. People in BD want these govt jobs for job security. They need to rise above that fear.

I hope more will choose the path of entrepreneurship - whether by starting an AI company or a street-side teashop - there’s demand for both.

I’ve interacted with the software engineers at my friend’s company. The country has a lot of talented coders. I consider myself a veteran programmer - I’ve cracked all interviews thus far in the valley, but I get out-coded by these young chaps who’ve not had access to electricity till they were 15 (yes, there are still villages without power).

Truly inspiring stuff. Not if only we can all stop killing each other, the future will be bright :)

Taking a break can be very helpful. I design board games and that is what I do. Go do some other hard thing for a week and see how you feel. For me, if one project stalls or doesn't excite me, I switch to one that does. Design and development can be a slog and I don't want my hobby to be that. Some games never make it back to the active state. Some games do. But maintaining any kind of momentum allows me to stay productive, even when it is baby steps.
Real talk: blame social media algorithms keeping us into our echo chambers. They are unable to show you a mixed and impartial slice of the world, but if you one day click on topic X, they'll keep recommending related topics until all you see is topic X. All you see is people talking about topic X, they become viral and spread even further.

We, through naivety and greed, made the internet this way. It's not gonna get better any time soon, now that politics, social media and news keep feeding from themselves in a spiral of polarisation.

I am not familiar with that part of the world, but the relative neighbour of Bangladesh, Myanmar, has seen massive genocide and devastation thanks to hate campaigns that spread like wildfire thanks to Facebook a few years ago, while the fat cats in Silicon Valley in their ivory towers were totally oblivious first, and incapable later of dealing with it, while tens of thousand died and hundred of thousands fled as refugees.

I remember even games, or especially games were like this. Interplay would rarely have a post launch patch or make it past 1.01 versions of a whole game. then in the late 90s or 2000ish Tribes 2 came out and basically didn't even work for over a year until patches finished the game. I think once Internet hit critical mass things shifted forever and haven't gone back.
Voting to put in place a system that arranged organised violence and oppression is to me equivalent to conspiracy to engage in what is effective violence against a huge number of people, and morally vastly worse than one, or a few, individual murders.

My librem 5 has about 3.5mm of dust on it because the phone is unusable. I appreciate that they made a linux phone, but they didn't make a phone people would actually want to use. Abysmal battery life where "carry a 2nd battery" is actual advice for every-day use. Very slow user interface. So large and heavy that I could murder someone with it. Questionable cellular support where the modem randomly disconnecting in the middle of a phone call can happen.
Huh? I don't think one was traded for the other.
The comment [0] mentioned that they could not get at all the mri outputs even with the radiologist coming on site. Obviously, software that was processing/exporting the data was running on a computer that was connected online, if not requiring internet connection itself. Data transfer can happen from another computer than the one the data is processed/obtained. Less convenient, but this is common practice in many other places for security and other reasons.

Is it poverty that brings out the worst in people? Or something else?
Every one of your responses fails to actually engage with the comment you're responding to. You're directly missing the point here. You should not create alts just to engage in low-effort argumentation.
Not my story to tell, so I'm relaying it. Childhood friend works for a big company, you've heard their name, they make nuclear control systems for nuclear reactors; they have products out in the field they support and there are new reactors in parts of the world from time to time. We were scheduled to have lunch a couple years back and he bailed, we rescheduled, he bailed because that was the day you couldn't defer XP updates anymore, they came in and some XP systems became Windows 10. XP was "nuclear reactor approved" by someone, they had a tool chain that didn't work right on other versions of windows, it all gave me chills.

They ended up giving MS a substantial amount of money to extend support for their use case for some number of years. I can't remember the number he told me but it was extremely large.
Fascism, CrowdStriking since 1922.
Every computer entered a bluescreen loop. We are dependent on Epic for placing orders, for nursing staff to know what needs to be done, for viewing records, for transmitting and interpreting radiology machines. It's how we know the current state of the department and where each patient (out of 50+ people we are simultaneously treating) is at. Our equipment still works but we're flying blind and having to shout orders at each other and have no way to send radiology images to other doctors for consultation.
Call it a CLM vs MLM, not LLM vs MLM. Soon LMLM's will exist, which will be LLMs too...
I know that word, and it is one way of describing what I was talking about, but it is not what I meant. My actual worldview is a superset of "all living beings are conscious". For example, I don't necessarily think that consciousness emerges from biology or complex interaction of matter.

Umwelt is a good step outside of anthropocentric view of consciousness and the world though.
This is also my first thought. If the thought of new features is paralysing, it's because you're not sure they're needed. Feedback will tell you what to build next.
I never worked on games, but I did do a streaming video app for PS3 in 2010, during the time period when it was arguably the best media center box available. Working with Sony (SCEE) on this was eye opening how their QA process was set up. Essentially you formally submitted the compiled app (C++ and Flash!) to them, and then tickets would come back and you'd have to address them. QA was a separate org so you never really met them in person, all issue discussion would happen in-band to the ticketing system. QA had all the power to decide when and if this thing would ship, much moreso than Product or Engineering. I can't say the process made a ton of sense for a downloadable app powered by a multi-platform online service, but it was illuminating as to how the high quality bar of 90s/00s console games was achieved.
A lot of tabs will put the note length on the "beat" of the tab too.

You can see this in Tuxguitar IIRC.
That's literally the scenario

That's why this whole thing doesn't apply. "Wrongful conviction" is a very narrow term.
The LLM is trained by measuring its error compared to the training data. It is literally optimizing to not be recognizable. Any improvement you can make to detect LLM output can immediately be used to train them better.
Good question!

There absolutely is nepotism in the political sphere in every political system - but that's not what students are opposed about alone.

Basically, every government job (teacher, doctor, tax collector, bureaucrat, bus driver, etc), government funded service (college, hospital, etc), and PSU (eg. govt owned banks, energy companies, factories) will have a quota in favor of those who are the descendants of martyrs from the 1971 Liberation War.

It's the equivalent of party apparatchiks and elite in Ceceascu era Romania who had the pick of the litter for high paying civil service and public sector jobs.

This does not happen in developed countries, and in situations where biased hiring is found, you have a slam dunk corruption case.

There's a reason Leyen became a party politician and not a nameless civil servant.

> Where the hell did you get 6000 USD/year

From the Romanian government press release I linked - "The total monthly average income*) was, in nominal terms, 6634 lei per household and 2648
lei per person in quarter IV 2022."

Multiply that number by 4 (because it's quarters not month) and that the yearly average income.

Edit:

Good catch - I misread the data. Average income PER PERSON is around $6,000. Average HOUSEHOLD is around $12,000.

I still stand by my assertion though, because Mexico's average household income is around $12,000-15,000.

Can't reply to you OP (I think the flame war detector got a false positive) but yea you are right that the numbers I gave were wrong so I've added edit comments.

I don't use LLMs btw. I inherently distrust them. I just have these numbers imprinted in my mind because I have no life.
The alternatives aren't in a position fill the roles needed for the tasks at hand.
In theory CrowdStrike protects you from threats, leaving regions unprotected for an hour would be an issue.

> What if you want to develop a _library_ of RCL code, with functions where you don’t know how they will be called? I don’t think that RCL programs should grow so complex that this is needed, but maybe I am too naive or nearsighted about that, and it will happen anyway.

This is definitely happening. A module system is essential for configuration languages. I worked with multiple in-house configuration languages and all of them end up needing that.

3rd party got unsupervised access to kernel? I'd say it's even worse then
> But this also means that because we've exhausted the human generated content

Putting aside the question of whether dragnet web scraping for human generated content is necessary to train next gen models, OpenAI has a massive source of human writing through their ChatGPT apps.
Yes, yes it is. Because there's tons more breakages that have likely been caught.

One uncaught downstream failure doesn't invalidate the effort into all the previously caught failures.
Momentum as well. Many of these systems started in DOS. The DOS->Windows transition is pretty natural.
No, what is stopping a similarly designed EDR from causing the same problem on Linux?
You should look into what a kernel driver is. You can panic a Linux kernel with 2 lines of code just as you can panic a Windows kernel, they just got lucky that this fault didn't occur in their Linux version.

And to be honest, I don't think recovering from this would be that much easier for non-technical folk on a fully encrypted Linux machine, not that it's particularly hard on Windows, it's just a lot of machines to do it on.
Also ironic that the compliance ended up introducing the biggest vulnerability as a massive single point of failure.

But that's government regulation for you.
