You don't have to post the noise. If you are publishing a paper, you already have a solid experiment in place. What is necessary is a way to reproduce that research, and the final dataset used is an important piece of the puzzle. Of course, if the changelog of the data exists, that might be useful, just to see if the authors are modifying the data to cherry-pick the results they are publishing.
Thanks for the information. I know Google had TPU custom made a long time ago, and that the concept has existed for a LONG TIME. I assumed that a technical hurdle (i.e. VRAM) was finally behind allowing this theoretical (1 token/sec on a CPU vs 100 tokens/sec on a GPU) to become reasonable.

Thanks for the links too!

I made a bet 10 years ago with a friend that VR headsets would never gain wide adoption among the general public (back when Facebook bought Oculus), and I think it's fair to say I've won this bet. With these glasses, I'm not so sure, but if I had to, I would bet against them as well. Time will tell...

Thankyou for all your hard work on this. I'm sorry my post is, in many ways, dismissive of the huge amount of work that you and others have poured into rust, async, Pin, explaining Pin in detail over and over again, and all of the other things I take for granted in the compiler constantly.

But appreciation does little to temper my frustration. Watching the rust project spin its wheels has dulled any enthusiasm I might have once had for its open, consensus based processes. I could get involved - but I worry I'd be yet another commenter making long issue threads even longer. I don't think Rust has a "not enough cooks in the kitchen" shaped problem.

I love that quote. I agree with it - at some point, like with Pin and the 'foo.await' vs 'await foo' discussion - you just have to pick an answer, any answer, and move forward. But the siren song of that "simple and elegent" solution still calls. Alan Kay once made a similar observation. He pointed out that it took humanity thousands of years (and two geniuses) to invent calculus. And now we teach it to 8th grade children. How remarkable. Clearly, the right point of view is worth 50 IQ points.

I look forward to reading your blog posts on the topic. I suspect there's lots of workable solutions out there in the infinite solution space. Research is always harder and slower than I think it should be. And this is very much a research question.

You seem very convinced that replacing Pin with Move would be a mistake. Maybe! I wouldn't be surprised if the Move vs Pin question is a red herring. I suspect there's an entirely different approach which would work much better - something like, as I said in my post, attacking the problem by changing the borrow checker. Something like that. Maybe that wouldn't be viable for rust. Thats fine. There will be more languages following in its footsteps. I want them to be as good as possible.

And I swear, there's a better answer here somewhere.

I can feel it.

I do not think that such a centralization is desirable. The Tor project has lost a lot of credibility for me after the treatment of one of its developers with flimsy accusations that happened to be the exact same accusations as leveled against Assange (also never proven) almost at the same time. Both Assange and that developer were outspoken critics of the NSA.

In other words, I consider the possibility that the Tor project is subverted, so why should I trust Tails now?
Oh, hrm, looking at this description and the one liner, I rather like.

Once you mentioned `git add -p` I realised that this is pretty much what I do already, except with a far more efficient way of selecting the relevant commit to do it to.

A gym I was interested in joining had a pay-for-one-month deal, so I said, “sure, why not?” Their system took my e-signature for authorizing the one-time credit card transaction and copied (forged) it onto a shitty gym contract with auto-renewal and a bunch of other terms I didn’t agree to.

Fortunately, my state had a 3-day right of recision, so I followed the requirements in the law to the letter. It only required written notification that I’m exercising my right, so I printed a letter as such, brought a notary friend and another friend as witness, and hand-delivered it to the manager on duty and asked them to sign a receipt for it (which was witnessed and notarized). They tried to give me all kinds of crap about “the company cancellation process,” which I said is great and all, but not applicable because state law trumps company policy and state law says that as of 30 seconds ago our contract never existed. They ultimately relented, especially since they were nervous about the forgery aspect too.

There’s two different attack surfaces - compile time and runtime.

For compile time, there’s a big difference between needing the attacker to exploit the compiler vs literally just use the standard API (both in terms of difficulty of implementation and ease of spotting what should look like fairly weird code). And there’s a big difference between runtime rust vs compile time rust - there’s no reason that cargo can’t sandbox build.rs execution (not what josephg brought up but honestly my bigger concern).

There is a legitimate risk of runtime supply chain attacks and I don’t see why you wouldn’t want to have facilities within Rust to help you force contractually what code is and isn’t able to do when you invoke it as a way to enforce a top-level audit. Even though rust today doesn’t support it doesn’t make it a bad idea or one that can’t be elegantly integrated into today’s rust.
Vim and Emacs’s concept of detangling the text buffer from the windows that display them. It feels like working on a real desk, because you can have the files you want displayed at once and move fluidly from one configuration to the next.
It depends on how well you understand how the fancy autocomplete is working under the hood.

You could compare GPT-o1 chain of thought to something like IBM's DeepBlue chess-playing computer, which used MTCS (tree search, same as more modern game engines such as AlphaGo)... at the end of the day it's just using built-in knowledge (pre-training) to predict what move would most likely be made by a winning player. It's not unreasonable to characterize this as "fancy autocomplete".

In the case of an LLM, given that the model was trained with the singular goal of autocomplete (i.e. mimicking the training data), it seems highly appropriate to call that autocomplete, even though that obviously includes mimicking training data that came from a far more general intelligence than the LLM itself.

All GPT-o1 is adding beyond the base LLM fancy autocomplete is an MTCS-like exploration of possible continuations. GPT-o1's ability to solve complex math problems is not much different from DeepBlue's ability to beat Garry Kasparov. Call it intelligent if you want, but better to do so with an understanding of what's really under the hood, and therefore what it can't do as well as what it can.

Can you give some examples? What ways are there to write safe rust code & do nasty things, affecting other parts of the binary?

I love visiting Sapporo! My family spent a summer vacation there most recently in 2023.

We took our son for his birthday to Moerenuma Park, and he broke his arm :( Fortunately, there was a nice family there who spoke good English, and they saw what was going on and he offered to drive us to the hospital! This park is a ways outside of the city, at least a 30 minute or more bus ride from a medical center, plus time waiting for the bus, which comes every half hour too. (It was a holiday weekend, so a lot of places were closed also).

Very grateful for their help. So many nice folk in Japan.

That's not evidence, though?
Their concern is not with theoretical vulnerabilities, but actual ones that are being exploited. If an attacker never tries to find a vulnerability in some code, then it might as well not have it.

That has nothing to do with the difficulty of the task and everything with what APIs you are personally familiar with.
Package scope is typically too coarse - a package might export multiple different pieces of related functionality and you’d want to be able to use the “safe” parts you audited (eg no fs access) and never call the “dangerous” ones.

The harder bit is annotating things - while you can protect against std::fs, it’s likely harder to guarantee that malicious code doesn’t just call syscalls directly via assembly. There’s too many escapes possible which is why I suspect no one has particularly championed this idea.
aye. every attempt I've tried to use ChatGPT to do some moderate to advanced python scripting had it fail at something.

for the most part the code is alright... but then it references libraries that are deprecated or wrong or weren't included for some reason. example:

one time I was pulling some sample financial data from Quandl and asked it why it wasn't working right -- it mentioned that I was referencing a FED dataset that was gone. And that was true, it was old code that I pulled out of a previous project. So I asked it for a new target dataset... and it gave me an older one again.

Okay, fine, this time find me a new one -- again, was wrong. Didn't take a lot of time to find that, decided to find my own.

Go find one, then send that back to the AI... and it mangles the API key variable. An easy fix, but again, still didn't work.

The goal was to get it done quickly, to get some sample data to test a pipeline, but in practice it required help every step, and I probably could have just written it on my own from scratch in roughly the same time.
Obviously you don’t have to answer, but it feels like with Pressable as a product, WPE suddenly became a big competitor to the bottom line. It is here where the optics suddenly become shady. Like WPE has been running like they do for years, and now suddenly it is a big problem? Like why now?

Personally I also don’t like that the .org suddenly becomes weaponized. If this can be done to WPE, it can be done to anyone else really.

> It’s substantially harder to support railcards, and perform correct enforcement of them, with contactless cards. There’s no way of meaningfully marking a contactless card as being paired with a railcard, which would allow ticket inspectors to actually know that when performing enforcement. It would be come trivial for people to defraud TfL using railcards, if there was no mechanism for allowing spot checks on people travelling.

I'm not sure I buy this. Aren't TfL given privileged access to be able to retrieve back the FPAN (or if not that, a customer-specific Payment Account Reference, as defined by EMVCo)? If they weren't, the Contactless travel history portal wouldn't be able to display travel journey undertaken using Apple/Google Pay - and yet this usecase does work, so clearly there is a capability to associate payments made using different DPANs and the underlying physical card and to recognise those transactions are belonging to a single customer.

Subsequently, there is clearly a customer-specific identifier that TfL could, if it desired to do so, tie together with a record which states the customer owns a railcard (after validating the railcard number using the National Rail API).

Why do you think RID2 wouldn't be able to ask a server to check this at inspection time?

My guess is the condo votes to sell the land to someone else, distribute the money to the condo owners and then dissolve. Generally the condo isn't worth a million dollars anymore though as the building is old. Or maybe it is worth a million but you were paid 1.1 million to get out as whatever replaces it is that much more valuable (if it really was worth a million I'd guess not, but the million dollar condos of 1950 are not worth nearly that much today but the land itself is worth a new million dollar condo.

It is also possible the condo voted to tear down the building and build new - if you owned the condo before you will have one again in 2 years, but you are required to live elsewhere in the mean time. (Million dollar condos in Iowa implies you can afford a second house/apartment, while in San Francisco it would not)

Regarding the Packers: At least (unlike literally every other NFL team), they’re not using city tax revenue to build a franchise that can move across the country at the drop of a hat.

The NFL’s non-profit status is a farce though. Similarly, their misuse of copyright (“you cannot discuss this broadcast”) and the trademark “Super Bowl” (“cannot be used in factual statements regarding the actual Super Bowl”) should have their ownership of that ip revoked, if only because it causes massive confusion about the underlying law with a big chunk of the US population.
I like for non-trivial stuff to have a branch with a series of logical commits, cleanly rebased atop main, then use -no-ff to force a merge commit anyway. That way you can the whole branch appears as a single commit/diff atop main in primary history but you can dig in to the original components of it if/when that's useful.

The primary obstacle to doing this for me is, if I'm honest, not having automated it sufficiently that I can't forget to do that.
I think bootstrapping a device like this into public acceptance will need a gradual approach, given current tech limits in size, weight, and the cross section w/ fashion. People often choose glasses to reflect the personality they want to display (accurate or not) and until the tech allows for this level of personal expression, widespread adoption will be close to impossible.

When I had a Note 2 in 2012, many found its size impractical or embarrassing. Acceptance came through clear utility, not just ubiquity.

For AR glasses to succeed, they need to prioritize seamless functionality. The more obtrusive the design, the higher the utility must be. Focus on a small set of functions— Loads can be done with voice, sound, and a simple visuals like 64x64 pixels. And offer a range of frame styles where the tech is noticeable but no more than an "ah, smart frames" from others.

At the end of the day, we need scientific research to be reproducible. If you are using some confidential dataset for making conclusions, how will people check if what they are saying is true or not? You have to show your experiment to publications like Nature or Elsevier etc, in order for you to get recognition. I believe the standard should be that anyone can check, if they want. There could be some caveats, but I believe, in most cases, scientific research should be reproducible and the dataset used is very important for reproducibility.
