I did not see the info anywhere else, but it was just broadcasted by the main French tv channel.
Pavel Durov, the Telegram founder was just arrested out of his airplane in the Bourget airport in France near Paris.

There is no info about why exactly he was arrested but it looks like that French police had a warrant for him.

But it looks like it is because that he is accused of being an accessory of a lot of things like traffic, drugs, pedopornography, anything bad you can image because he would not have done anything to combat that on Telegram.

If it is real, it would really be the same kind of political crime abuse on an individual of the same level as what happened to Julian Assange.

I can easily guess that assholes in secret service would probably like very much to use that to blackmail him to add backdoors to telegram. So sad.

Yes. However you can imagine a world where he is right but someone along the way put a hurdle in, yet his essential goal is correct given in the present you could do this and in 20 years use the device as he described. To say he’s entirely wrong, which was what was said, is extremely ungenerous.

But.. none of that does or should require a smart phone really. Even for the cellular modem bit I mentioned, I could find another way to do it; people had devices for this before these black mirrors came around. But a cellular modem built into my laptop would reduce the amount of crap I have instead of add to it, and I'd still use the smart phone for other reasons at other times, just not if I'm going to a cafe to work necessarily. Using technological conveniences with more intentionality instead of chronically is where I think we screw ourselves.

With the car comparison, my hunch is that a not insignificant contingent of car owning bi-pedal able-bodied people fit into the category of both not having any athletic pastimes/hobbies and also walk or move their body to get somewhere for less than 30 min a week. Just a hunch though. To do that without having had the influence of a car at some point would be remarkable; you'd have to be exceptionally sedentary, live immediately adjacent to a transit stop and do everything in your life right next to another.

If I took the cost of a car and put that into anything else in my life, it's the difference between hypothetically having access to the most expensive outdoor hobbies that don't directly depend on cars themselves, like rally. Not to shit on cars as hobbies either though, not requiring a car means I could afford to have a project car just for the hell of it.

Without an Apple Watch, I just.. tap my card, and retain 2 month's worth of food budget because I didn't get the damn thing.
Curious to know why you think it's vaporware. Are the latest LLMs like 3.5 Sonnet bad at original programming based on your experience? It hasn't been the case for me when using it for real world projects lately.
Ah, text. It's so shit for conversation.

I feel like I'm speaking to a smart person and we'd do a lot better over a beer, and we're probably a lot closer in opinion somewhere. Maybe.

> Surely ChatGPT 5 will prove one of us right, eh?

I have zero trust in LLM's becoming any kind of AI, I think they're more of a warning shot that AI could be coming one day.

I think what it requires is (only) a few fundamental architectural insights. I think there's enough effort, stock prices to defend, country strategic advantages resting on someone somewhere getting it right that people will eventually discover those insights. (No prediction on when, we still can't agree on quantum interpretations 100 years later.) Humans evolved from single cells, purely from randomness, and our efforts at replicating that have many good examples to work from. A simple change in architecture, on the right track, could unlock an entirely different entity.

In general, my intuition follows something similar to a proof-by-induction. We have a level of capability, we have continuous effort at improving it, we never go backwards in levels of capability. Choose any (rational) level, or limit, or barrier. It will get hit eventually. (All LLM's do is move it from "20 years away, we can't see it from here" to "ah ok, maybe a glimpse. Could very easily be less than 20 years.") For it to not hit the limit, you need a barrier of sorts that cannot ever be crossed. That is much harder to make true than the alternative.

The limit-crossing applies to levels of intelligence, and control, and possibilities of danger. Take the limit, apply continuous effort to cross it, it'll get hit. In terms of losing control or dangers: state-level actors in a crisis might very well switch the wrong switch to not lose a war. Does it mean guaranteed doom? No of course not. It just means past a certain level of capability, humans won't be making the decisions anymore. That excites the builders, and scares the chief security architects. People whose job it is to prevent bad things from happening have a different mindset to those looking to make something new. Both have a place.
LAN segmentation is mostly stupid too.

There is a case to make for old protocols and stuff Microsoft just won't fix (it's always Microsoft). But segmenting a web intranet because you expect the information not to escape is doubly stupid. It not only will escape through an infinity of exploits that exist everywhere; you have exactly 2 groups of people to make access control over, what it certainly insufficient; and finally, you constraint the capacity of people to work physically to inside your office.
Founder and CEO of Telegram Pavel Durov Arrested in France at the Airport
I was expecting a rant, but, wow, it was far better than that. This is a well founded criticism.

CORS is an afterthought that never carefully integrated into the ecosystem, which resulted in bad DX. It’s so blunt that applying CORS always feels like a hack.

I think they mean splitting the "Number" [0] type into an integer type and a decimal type.

Currently the "Number" type is used for every number and it gets stored as a double, and can "only" represent "integers" safely in the range of ±(2^53 -1).
Though there is a "BigInt" [1] type.

I mean kinda? It's legacy in the "we would never invent this as the solution to the problem domain that's today asked of it."

We would invent the underlying engines for sure but not the language on top of it. It doesn't map at all to how it's actually used by programmers. SQL is the JS to WebAssembly, being able to write the query plan directly via whatever language or mechanism you prefer would be goated.

It has to be my biggest pain point dealing with SQL, having to hint to the optimizer or write meta-SQL to get it to generate the query plan I already know I want dammit! is unbelievably frustrating.
I wrote a cycle detecting reference counting system and asked Sonnet 3.5 to fix it and it failed.

I hand held it, gave it tests, called out flaws in reasoning.. etc., and it still didn't fix.

The longer the chat the more likely it was Sonnet forgot a clarification I provided.

Overall huge waste of time, lost my train of thought and I was helping an LLM rubber duck and fail repeatedly

Everyone in MS consider it a amazing, awesome innovation that makes most popular OS in the world even more intuitive and user friendly. If someone (non-FTE) suddenly not thinking this obvious way, he is better to shut up, or he is not going to work in MS starting next financial quarter.
I think for people with fairly high experience, the current AI boom is definitely a win; improved productivity for simple tasks and responsive rubber duck to run your ideas by. However, for new grads, students, and even mid-level devs, whenever I see them with Copilot (and just today, Cursor) out, I cry a bit inside and lower my expectations.

I’m not sure why but in my experience, juniors/students that use AI will generally struggle more to debug problems & give up earlier

Edit: and if I sound arrogant, let it be known that I definitely dont have the experience/intelligence to use AI productively, and thus I’ve avoided it beyond experimenting with capabilities
This is like the difference between electrical engineering and software engineering. It’s just so more expensive to create and test anything in EE so development cycles are much longer. Compare that to software engineering where people are trying and making new paradigms like every week.

Space engineering is wildly more expensive so development and progress cycles are even longer.

Managers are responsible for what they manage. If something goes wrong, either management caused it, or failed to prevent it.

It's possible for the underlings to be good despite bad management, but if the underlings are bad that is again a consequence of poor management.

The only exception would be deliberate sabotage, which is not unknown but incredibly rare.
Thank you kindly!

Cursor editor is a fork of VS Code, which was probably why he got it mixed up
WIth mmap you have to be prepared to handle unexpected page fault errors due to corrupted volume: Unlike standard read/write, where one can handle the issue, now it can happen anywhere the memory is mapped - your code, third party library, etc.

It gets even unwieldy, and now you have to add additional tracking where access is to be expected. Blindly delegating mmap area to any code path that does not have such handling, and you would have to deal with these failures.

Maybe that's not the case on Linux/OSX/BSD, but definitely is on Windows where you would have it. Also in C/C++ land you have to handle this using SEH - e.g. `__try/__except` - standard C++ handling won't cut it (I guess in other systems these would be through some signals (?)).

In any case, it might seem like an easy path to achieve glory, yet riddled with complications.
Good point, I was talking about similarly sized code bases, yes.

Because of the hefty CI runtime increase, myself I opposed to adding it. We have lots of parallel branches that people work on and many code reviews every day, where the CI just needs to run from a clean slate so to speak.

But most of the current long CI run penalty in the frontend of that comes from tsc, not ESLint, in my case.

I might look into it again.

In the project there already are all kinds of optimizations (caching to speed up full Ci runs with common isolated parts of a monorepo).

And for TS, project references + incremental builds for development are used, tsc in a monorepo would be miserable without them.
A protocol that allows the beacon to define which endpoint is used to forward the encrypted location data.

Alternatively (since the adv data is limited), a "routing" endpoint that allows custom endpoints to be defined depending on the network ID.

There are plenty of possible implementations that would allow for a fair market in this regard, but I don't think Apple or Google would ever introduce them, unless forced to
Simply put, the Great Wall of China (as we know it today) didn't exist for two millennia.

What many people now see as the Great Wall of China was built by the Ming dynasty in the late 1400s and lasted at most 200 years before the Ming dynasty fell (they were still constructing it when the Ming dynasty fell, and the subsequent Qing dynasty declined to continue building it).

Before then, the walled fortifications were generally more sporadic, more temporary, and definitely more lightly manned. It would have required much fewer men to defend it--probably looking at say 20k for the Qin or Han era walls--and the Chinese state was, well, a state during much of this time period (by Weber's definition, that it has a monopoly on the legitimate use of force), unlike most of Medieval Europe.

Even then, the Chinese state failed several times over the course of two millennia, and a few of those times were quite literally people manning faraway places going "why are we doing this?" and sacking the capital.
It depends on including things like headers and other non-approved changes to the request. Content-Type is one of them, but even it has some whitelisted options.

One of the problems is managing a server is a giant pain in the ass. Say you run your Java app on the said H3 instance, keeping it “clean” requires tooling like ansible or chef. Docker is another option and containers are a nice abstraction. You can still run a single container on this giant instance.

But then you have to update the container, and you need a script to do it. Then you need to roll something back, maybe automatically. Maybe you want a load balancer in front of your server to do TLS termination, and at this point you’d benefit from just using k8s (or ecs or google cloud run)

This would have been interesting if it would have been published in 2011. But what is the point of publishing this nowadays after all nuclear reactors have been shutdown? They cannot be restarted and are already been dismantled. Also why don’t we see publications like: „What if Germany had invested in solar energy?“ (instead of subsidizing coal and diesel engines)

I've worked on a few SQL systems used for analytics and ETL.

My users fell into (for the purposes of this discussion) three categories:

1. Analysts who prefer sheets

2. Data scientists that prefer pandas

3. Engineers who prefer C++/Java/JavaScript/Python

I'm fairly sure SQL isn't the first choice for any of them, but in all three cases a modern vectorized SQL engine will be the fastest option for expressing and executing many analysis and ETL tasks, especially when the datasets don't fit on a single machine. It's also easier to provide a shared pool of compute to run SQL than arbitrary code, especially with low latency.

Even as a query engine developer, I would prefer using a SQL engine. Performing even the basic optimizations a modern engine would perform -- columnar execution, predicate pushdown, pre-aggregation for shuffles, etc -- would be at least a week of work for me. A bit less if I built up a large library to assist.
I pity comments like this. Instead of trying to up skill to use the newest programming tools, you are setting yourself for failure.

Sonnet 3.5 digests close to 400k bytes of text and produces coherent code that works on the first try. If someone says its not working and they are a professional programmer, get ready to feel like you are hit by ton of bricks next year. The productivity boost is only going to accelerate and those who can't adopt will be left behind.
It was simple enough for me as a non-crypto guy - in fact, it seemed mostly obvious.

Ideally TFA would have also explained why some requests do go through without a preflight. What's called a 'simple' request is the explanation behind TFA's whole premise.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS#simpl...

These days, pretty much everything requires a non-simple request in order to invoke an action, regardless of whether the client can read the result.

Agree'd in spirit though that CORS is annoying to use, and it's always worth consulting the manual.

Unfortunately that does not work, because these metals are among those with the highest boiling points, even at very low pressures (which is why the oldest solid objects that have formed in the Solar System, at its very beginning, when it was still very hot, have been refractory grains of platinum-group metals with tungsten and rhenium; their condensation has been followed by that of refractory minerals with high content of oxides of aluminum, calcium, titanium and zirconium; and only after additional cooling by the mainstream condensation of silicates and iron alloy).

There are no materials from which you could make a centrifuge for gaseous osmium and iridium.

Vaporizing the input metal with an electron beam and ionizing the vapors allows after that contactless interaction with the ions, using electric fields and magnetic fields, guiding them into separate condensation chambers (which need strong cooling).

The ionic current of such separators must be increased several orders of magnitude over those currently existing, for this to become a viable separation technology.
This is a garbage collector written in Rust, not "on top of" Rust.

This isn't equivalent to adding garbage collection to the entire language. It's a garbage collected pointer type that can be employed for specific use cases.

The article and the repo explain why they developed it: Implementing VMs for garbage collected languages in Rust.
>it means that it's impossible to download public data from a web app without proxying it through your own server.

Maybe with a subdomain that points to the target website IP? If it supports HTTP and doesn't check the host header it should be fine. That's pretty exceptional these days though.

Edit: I just checked and a subdomain won't do it, it needs CORS as well.
