The whole app is written in Typescript, except the webserver (Golang). We've already started to run into some performance issues on large projects.

Eventually we will write the frontend in C++ (using emscripten to compile to JS). The UI will use React, but the canvas state will be in C++.

Also, the monolithic backend will be split apart and rewritten in a different language to optimize speed.

We have a lot of work to make it more performant, but it's going to be fun to build :)
The drive is inside the car. How do they get at it, and guarantee it isn't tampered with in the meantime?

> ether is a hypothetical medium for light waves to propagate.

If that's the extent of your definition then it is not at all inconsistent with Einstein's definition of the ether in the lecture I linked to.

>This is a "No True Scotsman" fallacy wherein one redefines the assertion to deal with specific objections.

Imagine using your argument to claim that atoms don't exist because atoms were by definition indivisible structures, and so anyone who argues that atoms are made up of protons, neutrons and electrons is just engaged in a "No true Scotsman" fallacy.

This might be how people on the Internet argue, but it's not how curious people make genuine advances in science.

Note that your definition of ether never said anything about having a definite state of motion so it's not at all clear what exactly you're looking to criticize to begin with. Einstein isn't claiming that the ether has no motion, just that it's motion adheres to Lorenz invariance.

>One can be generous and say he had an intuition about fields

Claiming that it's generous that Einstein had some kind of intuition about fields is so absurdly laughable that I'm not sure there is much more to even discuss on this matter. How generous you must be to recognize that Albert Einstein had some kind of intuition about fields.

It certainly makes me wonder if people read what they write sometimes before hitting the reply button.
1) most genAI tools are explicitly catered towards “prompt goes in, complete work comes out” usage.

That's probably a fair point. And I might have missed that because I don't really use any "Gen AI tools" that are purpose specific, besides Github Copilot and that's for code, not prose. And in that context, Copilot (at least the way I use it, which is rarely using the "chat" feature) is generally generating small snippets for me, not large, complex structures.

And in my mind, I imagine using something like Gemini or ChatGPT in a similar way. I guess I assume if I were using one of those tools to help me write prose, I'd be using it break "writer's block" with a prompt like

> given everything that has happened so far, what might the character Suzy do here?

or just asking it to clean up grammar for me

> Can you rewrite this chunk so it sounds neater and maybe is slightly reminiscent of Dean Koontz

or something like that.

A GenAI tool that allows you to input a single prompt and get a complete novel or something like that would be of no interest to me whatsoever and probably wouldn't even come across my radar (or wouldn't register any attention if it did).
I think we're roughly in agreement?

Any organization that arranges for its workers to govern it has some organizing document that describes this structure. Any organization that arranges for its workers to become owners must pick mechanism for this to happen. My view is that these can be basically independent choices:

- A firm can pursue a profit-sharing-for-current-workers approach as described for Mondragon, or can issue RSUs or options ("real" and transferable ownership)

- And regardless of what "ownership" vehicle they pick, they can still be organized to be democratically governed by its workers (establishment of which need not be dependent on any stipulated "ownership"). I.e. your organizing docs can describe a board composed of current employees, elected by employees, etc.

I am skeptical of the claim that profit-sharing while you're an employee is "ownership" in part because you are incentivized to prefer that the firm take profits while you work there. By comparison, if as a worker your vested stake persists even after you leave or retire, you might be much more inclined to vote for large reinvestments this year (and for the next several) which may not yield a profit until after you've left. Temporary "ownership" may not encourage the same long-term view as ordinary literal ownership.
> Are we already conceding that LLMs are people?

I bet that trying to blur the line is part of the AI startup propaganda strategy.

There's no reason to think the legal rights enjoyed by people transfer to machines by analogy. My car can't be party to a contract because I can, just like the fact that I can learn doesn't mean any content can be loaded into a retrieval system [1].

[1] No, redefining the term "learning" to include "performing certain calculations on a computer" does not make those calculations the same as human learning.
You can download apps like Sololearn. I know they are not that great, but you can learn the basics of any language you want!
Well, you can do the illegal thing either way. Not getting caught is a different story.

In general, though, I'd rather have privacy even though I'm not doing anything illegal and, though it pains me to say it, I'd rather they don't tow Teslas just for being nearby.
Thanks for sharing, and glad you got better.

I've never heard voices or similar, that I'm aware of.

What I struggle to understand, is what makes these voices so compelling or persuasive, for the lack of better words.

I could understand them being highly annoying, in the same way someone is listening to the radio while you're trying to relax or work.

But what is it that makes it hard to brush aside, that drives people to act on them?

It just seems to be more than "just" hearing voices, at least in many cases.

Not trying to be snarky or anything.
> I'm pretty sure your economic terms are not what the consensus of professionally trained economists would say.

It's an oversimplification to highlight the main point: workers' relationship to the means of production. In capitalism, capital owners own the means of production. In socialism, the workers own the means of production.

IME most Americans not only don't know what socialism is (despite being opposed to it), they don't know what capitalism is either (despite supporting it).

> Now, our current implementation of Capitalism is clearly wreaking havoc on our environment.

It's doing an awful lot more than that. It's pillaging the Global South. It's impoverishing us under the massive weight of housing, medical and student debt. And it's quite literally killing people. People decry the failures of the USSR, for example, but 9 million people die of starvation every year. Why isn't this attributed as a failure of capitalism in the same way?
If your company has enough sunk into MS as far as infrastructure and MSDN Developer licenses and whatnot, you can and do get more attentive direct developer support for esoteric problems, legacy support and the likes.
This is also what I do. I use markdown+git for all kinds of writing. I use Obsidian with tons of extensions. It's integrated with my personal knowledge base, notes etc. If I'm writing fiction or poetry, one file is one chapter/unit, but sometimes if I'm making huge changes, I'll rename that file to "Chapter X Draft 4" or something like that, so that I can instantly see very old versions without git. If I want to look at the full history git history on "Chapter X" will give the entire thing. It's also nice to write tiny scripts to assemble finished chapters into volumes etc and auto-convert to PDF.

I also do literate programming (write code as if it's a book written for your future self) with this exact same approach. Just write a two line script that removes everything that's not between ```python ``` and you can code inside Obsidian. (E.g. you can use a markdown parser like `marko` for python) I personally don't need syntax highlighting, but if you do, you can open it in your IDE/Emacs/etc and IDE should highlight most languages in Markdown files. You obviously don't get all the IDE bells and whistles, for those you can have separate files and import them in, or enable Python mode in markdown files (somehow). (Obsidian should support basic syntax highlighting for most common languages anyway)

Since Obsidian is so awesome, this approach has endless possibilities. E.g. you can do project management inside Obsidian via Kanban board, you can use Excalidraw tool in Obsidian to draw architecture diagrams, write music inside Obsidian with its Lilypond plugin, write math with LaTeX plugin etc. It just automatically works out of the box.

The Model Y is the number 1 selling car in the world. I would hardly class that as a "Rich Person" in this day and age. Would you feel compelled to turn over your phone in the same circumstances? It could be assumed your phone "MAY" contain data relevant to criminal acts that have transpired is an easy way for them to grab all your data.
I've been wondering the same thing. Unfortunately, I've found that GPT-4o is much less good at OpenSCAD than it is at Python.

It feels totally untrained on the step-by-step logic you need to build things in a programatic way. This is likely a problem with not having enough training data.
lmao: "Your boundary is at hue 168, greener than 85% of the population. For you, turquoise is blue."

1. At this time I assume all explanations are true.

A. It’s psychosis

B. It’s a spiritual entity that walked into me, just as the song lady said.

C. I should continue taking my medication.

D. I should also take care of myself spiritually and accept there are things I cannot understand completely

I honestly cannot say if it’s just a part of me. At one point I thought so, I thought it was my “intuition” embodied and removed from myself. But the voice played a trick on me and told me to trust someone I shouldn’t have. And then I realised A. I can’t trust it blindly and B. It doesn’t know everything. So C. It’s just saying whatever the hell it wants to say. It has opinions.

However, further proof of its bizarre nature is its continuing ability to predict the future. Granted, it’s much inferior to the original Voice, but it’s still there and it’s still bizarre. For example, it told me I wouldn’t go to a certain city to meet a friend when I had planned to (turns out my friend wasn’t there!) and things of the sort.

As far as driving me insane, I don’t have a great answer. I deal with it day to day. The effect of the voice under my bipolar medication is subdued. I know now that if I raise my medication I can make it even less intense. It’s just part of my condition now, and I fight it when I need to and roll with it if I don’t.

I know it’s perfectly fascinating and odd and even I would have a hard time believing in me 5 years ago.
As time has gone on I have become increasingly impressed by the fact that Windows 9x worked at all. There’s so many of these things that sound like they should individually cause the system to be crashing constantly, and yet somehow they got it to mostly work.

> OP chose to match the scalar for-loop equivalent.

Isn't it the other way around? The scalar for-loop was changed to match the vector loop's associativity. "To solve this problem for astcenc I decided to change our reference no-SIMD implementation to use 4-wide vectors."

In C, the word referent is used for the thing a pointer points to. That's your main ungreppable run-time referent.

> "The ability to grep through all runtime referents, aka all runtime values, of all variables, for a given runtime of a program..."

It sounds entirely doable in a garbage-collected run-time. We "stop the world" and then run something similar to the marking pass of a full garbage collection cycle, which looks for matches for a pattern in the entire space of reachable objects. The routine could maintain a path from root pointer to object (easily done on the recursion stack) so that it's reported along with matches.

It still is absolute insanity to me that Apple charges 30% for distribution. Real life disti of physical goods is 1-5% in the business I’ve dealt with. Transportation is generally a rounding error on an order of any significance.

SiteGUI has a strategy to mitigate stored XSS in the third party templates while Wordpress and other CMSes may not. Stored XSS is one of the main reasons that Wordpress sites often get hacked/hijacked.
technically it probably already can, but I think the bigger issue is, does it? because if so, then that would be a major privacy violation IMO
Again they are the exact same concept. Whether vectors represent tiles in a video game, an object in CSS, matrix algebra you took in school, or the semantics of words used by LLMs, in all cases it's the same meaning of the word "transform". It's not specific to language models at all - which was the thesis of your whole argument.

> it's not required to. I've run lots of models

Then you must know about skip-gram and how embeddings are trained: https://medium.com/@corymaklin/word2vec-skip-gram-904775613b...

What is meant by "sliding window" or "skip gram" is bigram mapping (or other n-gram).

This is ML 101.

It's the same training methodology and data structure used in my next-token-prediction lib, and is widely used for training for LLMs. Ask your local AI to explain the basics, or see examples like: https://www.kaggle.com/code/hamishdickson/training-and-plott...

> ChatGPT doesn't use parts-of-speech

Yes it does, there's not only a huge business in tagging data (both POS and NER) adjacent to AI, but OpenAI specifically famously used African workers on very low wages to tag a bunch of data. ChatGPT uses text-embedding-ada, you'll have to put 2 and 2 together as they don't open source that part.

Mistral says:

"The preprocessing stage of Text-Embedding-ADA-002 involves applying POS tags to the input text using a separate POS tagger like Spacy or Stanford NLP. These POS tags can be useful for segmenting sentences into individual words or tokens."

How does that work? People take photos and videos whenever they go right? In practice people will get caught in others’ footage all the time. So how can you ban public recording without also banning all photography?
CSS preprocessors are often used in a way that hurts "greppability". For example, SCSS developers often break identifiers like

.product {
&-promo {

I always felt it was a bad practice but nevertheless it is often used. Glad to find out that I am not the only one who noticed this.

Of course, one might say that I should have used a specialized tool for this. But it would be more convenient if I could search anything with text search. Also, there is no tool that allows to search over identifiers that are calculated in runtime in a program.

That's fine. There's no need to expand copyright for the sake of preserving copyleft licenses (and in my fantasy world some country could explicitly leave copyright protection the same for free culture licenses while weakening copyright protection for proprietary licenses). If copyright gets weakened then the effective strengthening of the public domain (or fair use as well / instead in the US) will make up for the effective weakening of copyleft.
Maybe so, but this isn't the way to fix it. Two wrongs don't make a right. The natural conclusion of your line of thought is that the police should be able to enforce against things they personally think are "bad", rather than just enforcing the law. Not the world I want to live in, thanks.
Hopefully Tesla implements encryption for the drive used, just to make it harder for the police department. This is stupid and it punishes the owner for happening to accidentally park their vehicle near a suspected crime.
Here's the difference though: you can't copyright facts. The facts were there before anyone discovered them. If I describe something that is objectively true for the first time, it was simply there and I noticed it. I expect anyone who would like to, to notice it as well and build on it that observation with their own observations. In other words if I show the earth is "round" then I didn't create that fact. It simply was.

What I mean by things that I've created, I mean that I've literally brought into the world. A novel, a photograph, some code. Those things did not already exist, but only came about due to my thoughts and work. So I don't find it unreasonable to say I would like to limit for a reasonable period of time (that I absolutely acknowledge is WAY too long in the USA right now) their abuse by others to make a buck off of.

Social security is a percentage, but since health insurance is not usually provided by the government (unless you have Medicare/Medicaid), you pay a flat fee to a private company regardless of income. But my understanding is that companies are not required to provide any benefits to part-time workers whatsoever, and frequently use that loophole to avoid having to pay, by making their workers either subcontractors or part-time. https://www.healthcare.gov/part-time-workers/
Isn't everything set in stone from God's perspective? He knows everything that has happened, is happening, and will happen. Including his own actions, presumably, so he's more of an omnipotent record-player than an intelligent being that makes decisions.
> A man was found on the back seat of his girlfriend’s Tesla, with a gunshot wound to the head, ending up in critical condition in the hospital. The police towed the vehicle for evidence, although no arrests have been made.

This anecdote does squat all for main point in the clickbait article. It is not even remotely an example of an uninvolved Tesla being towed just for its incidental surveillance data.

> The [Canadian tourist] permitted officers to download the footage without taking away the car, sparing him a visit to the police station.

Not an example of an uninvolved car being towed for data.

> The police obtained a search warrant to tow three vehicles – including a Tesla Model X – and gathered CCTV footage from a nearby market. The evidence led to two arrests for murder and other felonies – although it’s not clear if any of it came from the Tesla.

Ditto.

Not a single example of a confirmed tow of a Tesla for its data.
