Why pay senior devs for code that might actually work when you can hire randos who spend all their time debugging AI hallucination-ridden garbage code.
I think you attract downvotes because tools are helpful. If you have a huge unknown codebase, it can be nice to attack it from different angles. Reading code is useful, but observing what it does in runtime can be useful, too. Also, with hairier code, it can be more useful to first observe and prod it like a black box.
A few thoughts:

People who care about this issue, especially in the last few years, have been leaning into a "memory safe language" vs "non memory safe language" framing. This is because it gets at the root of the issue, which is safe by default vs not safe by default. It tries to avoid pointing fingers at, or giving recommendations for, particular languages, by instead putting the focus on the root cause.

In the specific case of Android, the subject of this post, I'm not aware of attempts to move into other MSLs than those. But I also don't follow Android development generally, but I do follow these posts pretty closely, and I don't remember any of them talking about stuff other than Rust or Kotlin.
What problem did it solve again?

When I have some complex logic to deal with a draw a state diagram and build my if statements based on that.
If Plucky Nonprofit was OAI-1, and Abruptly Serious AI Lab was OAI-2, And Viable Commercial Product was OAI-3, and Scary Brittle Governance With Creepy NSA Ties was OAI-4, then God Emperor of Arrakis is presumably OAI-5.

I figured they’d ship GPT-5 to justify OAI-5, but I guess they’ve realized that they now answer to no one on anything in practical terms.

That’s terrifying.

This is all superfluous to the question of the credibility of the two witnesses. It isn't about being "fair" and treating Williams and the two witnesses the same -- one is on trial, the others are not.

Yeah there aren't many good resources on it unfortunately. One thing to note is C++20's coroutine support is really low level. It's designed for library authors so that they can build the kinds of things "normal" people want - tasks, generators, futures, promises, etc.

This video is the best intro I've found. It actually explains what is happening in memory, which is the only way to really understand anything in C++.

Also this is decent:

But don't try and write a coroutine library yourself. Use something like libcoro.

Don't know why you're being downvoted, these models meet the definition of AGI. It just looks different than perhaps we expected.

We made a thing that exhibits the emergent property of intelligence. A level
of intelligence that trades blows with humans. The fact that our brains do lots of other things to make us into self-contained autonomous beings is cool and maybe answers some questions about what being sentient means but memory and self-learning aren't the same thing as intelligence.

I think it's cool that we got there before simulating an already existing brain and that intelligence can exist separate from consciousness.

I can say that they are sometimes very useful, without them, the devs would just go into whatever useless direction or would spend days trying to solve non-problem.

That looks like an almost total failure of both product management and team leadership. Maybe a daily standup would mitigate those failures in some superficial way but it's surely not aiming at the root causes of the unproductive team or solving the problem efficiently.
Should it be "Guile Scheme goes with everything" for the rhyme?

Show HN: Rock Paper Scissors Defense (strategy game for two)
Hi!

I've been exploring generative game design using o1, and this is a thing I discovered. The rules are super simple, but the range of possible strategies is surprisingly wide.

This game requires two players, with automatic player matching on the website.

Enjoy!
The only useful way to define an AGI is based on its capabilities, not its implementation details.

Based on capabilities alone, current LLMs demonstrate many of the capabilities practitioners ten years ago would have tossed into the AGI bucket.

What are some top capabilities (meaning inputs and outputs) you think are missing on the path between what we have now and AGI?
Yes, vLLM does (though marked experimental): https://docs.vllm.ai/en/latest/models/vlm.html
But there's plenty of evidence.

Perhaps so. I'm not familiar with the details of the case.

But this I do know: prior felony convictions are manifestly not evidence.

Presenting them as such causes me to seriously doubt the broader argument you are trying to make here.
6dof input from hand gestures is a killer feature but it has to be rock solid. So far only controllers can do it but it's getting much better every year.

Haptic feedback, discrete buttons and precise analog input from controllers are also very important. The downside of controllers is that your hands are full and it's just not feasible for an all day wearable.

Hopefully someone figures out a good compromise be it rings or gloves or whatever.
Free Llama 3.2 vision API
hey Sogen, I'm the creator of Kinopio and that really means a lot - thank you!
Hoping to get this out soon w/ Ollama. Just working out a couple of last kinks. The 11b model is legit good though, particularly for tasks like OCR. It can actually read my cursive handwriting.
What I do personally is I try to keep all relevant code in my viewport and jump around using shortcuts (are hotkeys a gaming term? I used to say hotkeys all the time!). The visualization is still really helpful for me so that I can quickly orient myself with which functions/classes relate to each other.
Quest single handedly killed VR

It is primarily a few overzealous authorities who want to use the opportunity to make themselves look important.
I know this is a tangent, but that was a painful video to watch. It's clear their product is the AI, and maybe a bit of special sauce in being able to hook it up to existing networks / backplanes / equipment. But half of that video was the interviewer asking questions about how the box runs Linux, and you could run any software you want in there.

It's rare to see an interviewer at a trade show like that have so little context about what they're looking at.
Absolutely! They have a billion-parameter model that will run on my first computer if we quantize it to 1.5 bits. But realistically yes, if you can fit in total ram you can run it slowly, if you can fit it in gpu ram you can probably run it fast enough to chat.
I think that if a dev think that they will not do whatever without guidance, THEY need to be replaced by better devs.

It's just mathematical: the possibility of interpretation of a solution is just very very big. It's not even a matter of precision of the requirements: the same way the dev cannot read the mind of the product owner, the product owner cannot read the mind of the dev and guess that when they use the term X that they always used this way, the dev will understand X' which is slightly different.

Developing a solution is like some point forecasting: you forecast the next point, then use that next point as input to forecast the next point and so on. If you don't realign with observations as soon as possible, you are just deviating. It depends of the uncertainty around your points, but this uncertainty is never totally 0.

Now, it's true that I'm in R&D, which may be dealing with more uncertainties. Maybe the frequency of scrum meeting should be based on that. But, pretty please, do not push to removing scrum meetings if you don't even understand that.

Google ought to hang its head in utter disgrace over the putrid swill they have the audacity to peddle under the Gemini label.

Their laughably overzealous nanny-state censorship, paired with a model so appallingly inept it would embarrass a chatbot from the 90s, makes it nothing short of highway robbery that this digital dumpster fire is permitted to masquerade as a product fit for public consumption.

The sheer gall of Google to foist this steaming pile of silicon refuse onto unsuspecting users borders on fraudulent.

The quote

from The Innocence Project seems carefully worded to imply that they didn't say anything that mattered, while still leaving open that they provided information that the police had, but which had not be publicly released.
If your team is waiting until the next stand-up to get help to get unstuck I think that's a cultural problem, they should be reaching out at any point during the day.

The point of dailies should not be to make sure that devs work on the right stuff, that should be part of managing backlog and sprint plannings. Instead the point of dailies should be to avoid devs hitting head on wall and clear out any blockers for progress. Having reserved timeslot for syncing also should reduce random pings during the day which should allow people then to focus more on their tasks instead of getting interrupted all the time.

Thank you for the flag! Our intention is to try to "tile" the viewport so that it resembles this grid format (i.e. the carousel/ribbon), but we've found the canvas is still useful folks who want to go that extra mile to organize their editors.
Android talked more about the memory-safe languages they're using in a previous blog post: https://security.googleblog.com/2022/12/memory-safe-language...

Google also published their perspective on memory safety in https://security.googleblog.com/2024/03/secure-by-design-goo..., which also goes over some of the memory-safe languages in use like Java, Go and Rust.
This is incorrect:

> With text-only inputs, the Llama 3.2 Vision Models can do tool-calling exactly like their Llama 3.1 Text Model counterparts. You can use either the system or user prompts to provide the function definitions.

> Currently the vision models don’t support tool-calling with text+image inputs.

They support it, but not when an image is submitted in the prompt. I'd be curious to see what the model does. Meta typically sets conservative expectations around this type of behavior (e.g., they say that the 3.1 8b model won't do multiple tool calls, but in my experience it does so just fine).
An asynchronous daily check in via chat and a weekly meeting is more than enough to cover the important parts.

A virtual or in-person meeting scheduled at the same time every day is mostly performance art for management and is not necessary to get everyone on the same page.
There are many and google uses several - rust, python, java, and go among them. But low-level code for Android has historically been in c++ and Rust is the primary memory-safe replacement for the stuff they're building.
It's really important to know the history of agile and why it came about. I don't think it's the problem. The root problem, which is true for any other methodology is business's unwillingness to accept uncertainty and change.

Standups were co-opted from a people-working-the-sprint touch point to discuss A 24 hour window and address problem, and turned into a status meeting, a jira hygiene meeting, or an number of unrelated things.

The answer to management's question, 'when will you be done' is, "at the end of the sprint." Don't ask me to report a daily, or god forbid, hourly status.
Lol, we aren't talking about training for a marathon or rescuing someone from a burning building. VR headsets are a niche toy that many people find unpleasant to use, and will likely always be a niche product.
Are there any bugs that masquerade as normal devices such as phones in a time-frequency sense, such that they blend in the environment as phones. Polymorphic bugs? Bugs that change their signature.

One more question: are there any bugs that shut down if there is no chatter in the spectrum... Say, if it's a noisy environment (frequency wise) with many phones and devices, the bug blends in and transmits. If it gets quiet, such as when phones are being turned off or distant, then there's something fishy and the bug suspends its operation?
Almost all problems with daily scrum/kanban/whatever can be traced back to inappropriate management.

Most of the time the issue is the daily whatever has been turned into a demotivating status meeting where a PMO trained project manager (PMP) is drilling each person for a status roll-up.

When management is inappropriate, the ignorance is so thick that no rational discussion can penetrate.

Just the 1 downvote.

Yes, "tools are helpful", but whether there's a python/http specific tool that doesn't do what more generic tools do remains to be seen.
Isn't that going to be a fire hazard as well?
People who are gullible enough to buy shady timeshares are gullible for other scams too.
Without reading the whole page (there is a lot), do I get benefits from installing this on a bare installation?

I want to keep it vanilla, but I want the bugfixes like NightHawks & Rocketeers not being able to chase & fire.
And now you have people complaining about getting interrupted all the time and breaking their flow.
Correct, I think so too, seemed that update must be doing exactly this. tl;dr: in the context of Llama fn calling reliability, you don't need to reach for training, in fact, you'll do it and still have the same problem.
Thanks. Yes, this is exactly true, I can testify from personal experience. And GLP-1 agonists also often seem to make it easier for people to make good dietary decisions. When you're not driven as much by cravings, you will find it easier to resist hyperpalatable foods.
cf. my other comments.

The fact that point forecasting deviate from observations the more you go on without readjusting is not a failure of organisation, it's a fundamental and logical law of nature.

It's a bit worrying that people working in this field don't even know that a constant dialogue is not the sign of a failure.
Is that your test suite?
To clarify, I'm able to ignore in person conversations. Phone conversations are more distracting especially when they're loud. I'm unwillingly drawn into conversations I'd rather ignore.

As others are said Debian developers aren't paid, by Debian at least.

Many of us use Debian in our day jobs. I used to Windows at first because there was very little else, ran away to RedHat when it became clear it's very hard to develop something reliable on a base that is a black box and so unreliable and had abysmal support, ran away from RedHat to Debian at about the time of the Fedora / RedHat enterprise split because they pushed a minor update with so many incompatibilities it broke my systems.

In Debian I found a whole pile of like minded sysadmins/system builders working collaboratively on distro they can use in their day jobs. What do you need as a sysadmin - a rock solid base. Debian moves slowly, is tested for over a year prior to release, backports security patches to stable instead of moving to a new version, has hundreds if not thousands of rules and tools to enforce quality standards, and discussions with its users (who are also the developers) that span weeks if not months over technical changes to ensure they don't break things. The flips side of this coin is you will see people complaining about how old Debian is, or how hard Debian packaging is. All true. And it's that way because it's the only way we've found to create the distro these sysadmin/system builders can build on and trust. It's not a coincidence Debian lead the world into reproducible builds.

In answer to your question "why do they do it", the answer is because we haven't found a better way. Ubuntu's constant introduction home grown features like MIR, their desktop, and the snap store are designed to benefit them, but it's users. Proprietary systems are out of the question now in many places - hidden code with hidden bugs controlled by hidden entities and state actors isn't we or many of our employers can tolerate. What other way is there? It seems to me that open source (which is what Debian is - an open source distro), it the only way to build these types of systems.
I've worked at a place where even internal traffic that crosses machines needs to be encrypted.

So Ingress -TLS-> Container (pod).

We implemented LinkerD for this, which runs as a sidecar in the pod. Since the sidecar and the main container communicate on the same machine, this is OK.
Audacious supports classic Winamp skins so if you're only after the aesthetics just use that. Alternatively you may be able to run the original Winamp through Wine.
Christian is an umbrella term that describes many differing sets of beliefs. This is an oversimplification but Protestants for example believe in Sola Fide, the believe that salvation comes from faith alone (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sola_fide), whereas Catholics believe that salvation requires "good works", the sort of thing you're likely thinking of. So ... different groups hold differing sets of beliefs with regards to what loving your neighbor means and what is expected behavior. This is a huge oversimplification, the "Salvation in Christianity" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvation_in_Christianity) and "Good Works" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Good_works) pages can help orient (or disorient) you.

Nitrogen narcosis is a different thing than the bends.
Enthusiast bliss is a revved out manual in a flyweight car on a curvy road. Likely in low gear and at lower speed: in the range that you cited.

While I admit its severely wanting and the car will suffer for the abuse on the turns, I can get the edge of that feeling in an old Corolla simply due to the weight and connectedness. While the much faster and newer luxury cars are numb (yet have their place for commuting and highway driving).

It's why older (inherently bare bones) Lotus's are still $50k, ancient Honda S2000's are $20k, and new Miata's approach new base trim SUV prices.

It's why you love your Porsche. And it's why a new Porsche GTS4 Rs (double clutch aside) sells for $100k over sticker new or used, is $100k over the cheapest comparable McLaren in the used market, and why it's very difficult to get one new. Just for example.
