Daniel is a buddy of mine, and I'm proud of him for self-publishing this. I know 1st hand the crazy amount of hours he put into this over the last 8(?) years.
Also relevant to this journey for him is his challenges with his tenured math superiors, leading him to 'leave' the math department for the engineering dept years ago.
He chose to self-publish after nearly publishing with one of the math societies, which he's a member of, because he wanted this book to belong to the people doing the work. Big ups to the homie.
I'll pass this thread along to him; feedback is appreciated!
Dubai Adopts Stricter Rules Around Marketing Crypto Investments
Those situations are not made up. Come to Colorado, the real Southpark: Fairplay, CO is a great mining/ranching town turned to tourism. Then in Lakewood, CO we have Casa Bonita a type of creative possibly formerly somewhat-racist dinner club with actors who diving into a pool. It was purchased by the Southpark creators, and remodeled recently. There is a wait list to get in. The old place had notorious bad food. Its real man. Come I will show these situations were not made up by the creators solely embellished.
> it’s likely harder to guarantee that malicious code doesn’t just call syscalls directly via assembly.

Hence the requirement to also limit / ban `unsafe` in untrusted code. I mean, if you can poke raw memory, the game is up. But most utility crates don't need unsafe code.

> 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

Yeah; I'm imagining a combination of "I give these permissions to this package" in Cargo.toml. And then at runtime, the compiler only checks the call tree of any functions I actually call. Its fine if a crate has utility methods that access std::fs, so long as they're never actually called by my program.
Are you asking whether giving away $5/day/user (what OpenAI charges) in compute is sustainable?
The non-profit side is just there to attract talent and encourage them to work harder b/c it's for humanity. Obviously people sniffed out the facts, realized it was all for profit and that lead to an exodus.
NYC and SF both appear to have ~1% property tax rates

Utilities are an order of magnitude less than being taxed ~$35k/yr and hardly worth worrying about while discussing eight figures

Maintenance can vary, but all 3 costs you mentioned combined would be 2 orders of magnitude lower annually than that net worth, which seems easily sustainable?

Gotcha. Thanks!
To me this is a no brainer. If it’s a choice between having AI and not,
This looks really interesting. It might be a viable replacement for the back-end of an app I am working on that provides navigation for visually impaired people through spacialized sound. https://github.com/soundscape-community/soundscape

The back-end is currently based on a postgis database and a python app serving geojson tiles at zoom level 16. It currently runs on a single Hetzner server due to the resource requirements of imposm which is used to import the data into the database. Reducing hosting costs would really help us to insure the long term sustainability of the app.

I don't know yet how different the schema is and how easy it will be to support.

Soundscape was originally a Microsoft research project but they open sourced it when they shut down the app last year.
When I'm hunting a mistake (even/especially my own) finding the commit that introduced the bad line via blame and then looking at that specific diff is extremely handy. Also being able to bounce back and forth between the first broken one and the one before running tests while I work out exactly what I messed up and how.

I wouldn't say I put the effort in to get to 100% clean but something like 95% clean makes future me significantly less enraged at past me's mistakes.
These brand new AI-assisted proto-programmers are having a crash course in this easy-v.s.-hard problem.

Ha! Problem? Just ask ChatGPT. Come on, that one was easy…

ps: I am only somewhat joking this time. I think AI agents using just the current state of the art can reliably come up with solutions which the top 1% of humans can come up with. We just need to build them properly. And then deploying swarms at scale, we can scale up 1000x. Scale is all you need at this point. I don’t mean the model parameters, I mean “consensus of expert agents arguing”

pps: if you doubt me, look up the talk about “centaurs” beating a computer and a human alone, after Kasparov was bested by Deep Blue. Most of that talk died down 10 years later (Kasparov still believed it after everyone else stopped). No humans in the loop is going to come about quicker than you can predict.

How to Integrate a Next.js 14 App with a React App on the Same Domain?
I have two applications: a Next.js 14 app deployed on Vercel, which handles all pre-login pages, and a React app deployed on Firebase that manages all post-login routes. I want to integrate these two apps under the same domain. Specifically, I need guidance on:

1. How to set up routing so that users can seamlessly navigate between the Next.js and React

2. Managing user authentication using Firebase—how can I ensure that when a user logs out, they are redirected to the login page on the Next.js app?

3. Any additional best practices for integrating these two frameworks effectively.

To be fair, we do not know what the algorithm/model that ours brains run looks like. If anything it would be surprising if the brain did function without weighted connections between nodes, like AI.

I wonder if they just started on codepen with a random snippet, that so happened to have an old jQuery, and then went on with it. I've done that before, where I find a codepen snippet, and iterate over it, without caring for what versions used on it.
This appears to be implying that rolling your own libraries from scratch is not a roadblock in C and C++, but somehow would be in Rust. That's a double standard.

Rust makes it easy to use third-party dependencies, and if you don't want to use third-party dependencies, then you're no worse off than in C.
Yes it is. Reddit is not "the fandom."

As Italian I never tought about it, but it makes lot of sense
Which I honestly dislike. "where clauses" were already quite syntactically limited (there are lifetimes dependencies that the compiler understand which you cannot possibly express even using for<'a>), and now "impl Trait" is reinventing the wheel trying to catch up with where with new exotic syntax like the use<> clauses.
I really hope you’re wrong. I suspect that the future is technology which blends further into the background rather than being shoved closer to our faces.
I tend to go back through and build+test each of my newly crafted commits locally (and for preference have CI set up such that it'll go "hey, haven't seen these commits" and do it again itself).

Even if the knock-on effect is "all the artists and thinkers who contributed to the uncompensated free training set give up and stop creating new stuff"?
horse meat is allowed in plenty of countries, in northeast italy you can find a lot of horse (and donkey) meat dishes. It is a delicacy though, and more expensive than "regular" meat.

C and C++ were never sponsored by large companies, and they did just fine. Zig is the same, today. (It has some small sponsors, but nothing like the corporate support of rust.)
It is but it's also important to do what you did and do what you can to correct your past self. And this type of behaviour should be both encouraged and celebrated.
They only live for 3 years or so, just eat them when they're close to kicking the bucket.

This short lifetime combined with their intelligence does raise the question how far an octopus could get if it were able to reach our age. Would they continue learning and adapting, leading to a race of superintelligent molluscs or would they plateau in their first year and just coast along?
I've been told the other trick is to turn to your spouse and say "I don't know honey, we would have to sell the RV". They know people never sell the RV and so they will let you out the door as it is a waste of their time. (You don't need an RV, you just need them to think you have an RV.)

Note if you are thinking about an RV, rent them. A timeshare is a better deal than buying an RV for most people, even though timeshares are scams and RVs are not.
Chiming in like this makes me wounder what your view on abortion is. I'm not asking, though.
Everything is allowed to happen until there's a lawsuit over it. A lawsuit requires a plaintiff, who can only sue over the damage suffered by the plaintiff, so taking a little value from a lot of people is a way to succeed in business without getting sued.
I have followed this guy for some years now, and he keeps doing marvelous stuff on complex networks and related analysis.

AI safety people claiming that working on AI start-ups is a good way to prevent harmful AI is laughable.

The second you hit some kind of breakthrough, capital finds a way to remove any and all guardrails that might impede future profits.

It happened at DeepMind, Google, Microsoft and OpenAI. Why won't this happen the next time?

And ironically, many in this community say that corporations are AI.
When I am hiring I always look at personal websites if they are available. They provide a more realistic picture of the person and their interests, the resume is too formal an optimized for marketing.

If you have a site, and it has content, and shows more about what you are interested in, it counts a lot for me. Extra points if it links to code in GitHub.

But not any website will do, if it feels like an 5-minute thoughtless effort, with an empty template and a single entry dated 4 years ago saying "TODO", then it will count against you.

Great job on this - it looks really simple, and I like that the CLI has a built in @frequently setting that can be used for keeping the lambda warm.
Agree. I no longer use analogies from problem domains that I know nothing about (home building, bridges, vehicles, etc) to describe software. A better analogy, I think, is search through high dimensional space.
AR was never popular because there never has been a consumer device for it. When Google glass was first revealed there was a huge buzz for it.

Holo Lens hat the problem that it was both too expensive and too bulky.

If meta can make this sleek and affordable I can really see this picking up, I can think of many use cases where this would be better than both a smartphone and a VR headset:

- Navigation
- Cooking
- Interior design (like the IKEA app)
- reading (holding a real book and 'click' on words to get definitions and translations like on an ereader)
- music playing and instrument learning
Just like my code!
> A C++ library author is much more likely to just implement a small feature themselves rather than look for another 3rd party library for it.

This is conflating Javascript and Rust. Unlike Javascript, Rust does not have a culture of "microdependencies". Crates that get pulled in tend to be providing quite a bit more than "just a small feature", and reimplementing them from scratch every time would be needlessly redundant and result in worse code overall.
I'm a backend engineer and find the frontend tedious. I'd like to find something like latex, but that is also can scale nicely between PC and mobile screens.
Is this it? Anyone knows of a frontend solution that could support this use-case?
So if you don’t get any benefits then your account won’t be monitored right? Right?

We’ve already learned in a few months that this lot are as corrupt and authoritarian as any previous lot we have had.
I think what you’re saying is that, in fully safe code, control flow can’t have any surprises other than panics and/or signals/exceptions. I think this is true. And I would love to use a language that limited side effects like this at the language level — even ignoring security, it makes reasoning about code easier.

The issue of build-time security is somewhat separate, and it actually seems easier to tackle strongly. There have been proposals floated around to make proc macros use wasm and run in a sandbox, and IMO Rust should absolutely move in this direction.
I have to use it to make my non-US phone work in the US.

Sony Xperia 1 VI, a new top of the line flagship phone from Sony, has all the necessary hardware to be compatible with US carriers, but simply lacks config files for the US because it is not sold in the US.

Shizuku and another app combine to get a few of the settings set which brings it most of the way there.

(Brand new 2024 flagship with headphone jack and SD card! And unlockable bootloader, and good camera including a real macro mode which is specifically something I use a lot for documenting electronics projects. The one remaining blemish is no n71 5g band. I have 5g but just not that band, but that is one of the more important ones that can reach into buildings better. Still though, I do have 5g while inside my house so one of the other bands is doing something.)

Anyway, point is just that I have several real reasons to want this specific phone and not either a S24 or a Pixel 9. And Apps like Shizuku have legit non-nefarious purposes.
Reminds me a little of Twain: “When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.”
I don't know if you mean that to counter my point, but I see it as support. Although crypto isn't really what I'm talking about on the new threat front, it's mostly made of old scams that have existed for a long time.
Sam will be the last to leave and OpenAI continues to run on it's own
I wouldn’t say large phones were so much accepted as forced on people.

I hate my iPhone mini 13 because it is too fucking big for my giant hands.

However, at this point, carrying a phone is basically mandatory, and it (and the giant se3) were/are the smallest workable ones on the market.
Indeed a no brainer. The best possible outcome would be that OpenAI gets sued into oblivion (or shut down for tax fraud) as soon as possible.
>has been hostile to anything besides unsafe C ABI FFI

As opposed to integrating with a whole C++ frontend? Gee, I wonder why more languages haven't done this obvious idea of integrating a whole C++ frontend within their build system.

I think the main question will be if Meta can run the glasses under a different business model than ads/personalization. I know Meta feels like they missed out on owning the hardware ecosystem with mobile, but a big part of why Apple's product work is because their business model is not ads.

If they can fix their incentives there it will address 80% of the concerns in this thread.

Counterintuitively I think a passive screen affixed to your face will reduce your reliance on all other screens. Glasses aren't a great form factor for scrolling feeds, but they are much better at connecting you to your physical world (which phones are the worst at). That plus just the posture improvements [1] that glasses can provide over the phone may make this a winner.

Tripping through IBM's astonishingly insane 1937 corporate songbook (2014)
I think there is a bigger issue with specialization, and it's that nobody seems to agree in what the semantics should be. The orphan rules are clearly artificially limiting, but there is no formal description of a new set of rules to replace them, only proposals.
Full disclosure, I'm one of the nyxstone developers - so I might be biased.

In comparison to capstone, nyxstone lacks the features of instruction decomposition and providing read/written registers.
In addition, nyxstone directly interfaces with LLVM and thus is expected to be a lot slower than capstone, which uses
instruction tables generated by a modified LLVM.

I want to note here that Nyxstone is intended more as a replacement for Keystone than Capstone. We added the disassembler
mainly because we could. Compared to Keystone, nyxstone allows precise definition of target triple and ISA extensions,
allows definition of external labels, supports structured output with instruction details (address, bytes, assembly),
rejects partial and invalid inputs and rejects instructions not supported by the specific core
(for example UMAAL is supported by Cortex-M4, but not by Cortex-M3), and is more up to date.
Nyxstone does not require patches in the LLVM source tree, and thus is (I'd argue) more maintainable and easier to keep
up to date.
"if you are in the very common circumstance in the computer world where the switching time is significantly less than the amount of progress than can be made on a given task in some time, then the optimum scenario is just to do work as it becomes available"

Dude, it's not the LLM that does the reasoning. Rather it's the layers and layers of scaffolding around LLM that simulate reasoning.

The moment 'tooling' became a thing for LLM, it reminded me 'rules' for expert system which caused one of the AI winter. The number of 'tools' you need to solve real use cases will be untenable soon enough.
The tweet reads as customers of company a who leeches off company b are upset with company b.

You are making quite broad statements, and they don't seem to take into account the diversity of research and scholarly practice. A lot of what you suggest is happening already, but it's far from perfect. The existing solutions all have trade-offs (legal, cost, social, technological) .

I think it would make for a stronger argument to acknowledge and identify the existing solutions and practice, and evaluate them against your criteria.
The other reason is defamation. The line that constitutes it is lowered, when you're talking about something that has gone before the courts.
I’d love to extent this reasoning to other machinery.

A child can lift ten pound objects, and a crane can lift ten pound objects. A child can speak, so surely a crane can speak.
You’re missing my point. I’m suggesting there was no con. The “manufacture[d] leadership crises” were not manufactured. Reddit was sold to Conde Nast, it struggled due to lack of investment, a plan was put forward to rescue it, Conde Nast consented to the plan. If Reddit was struggling due to underinvestment why would crises need to be manufactured? Everyone on Reddit back then recognised that it was a shit show due to underinvestment. Reddit continued to struggle for years after the “con” because it takes a long time to fix underlying issues, if the crises were manufactured, then a post-“con” reddit would have been wonderful and stable but it wasn’t.

Altman and co. benefit from reframing the history of reddit as a grand genius conspiracy.
Every explanation of stacked diffs I've seen (including this one) makes me think there is some secret magic not being shared that will make the whole idea "click".

If the problem is devs having to wait too long for PRs to be reviewed, breaking tasks up in to smaller diffs should exacerbate the problem, wouldn't it?

If diff 2..n follow diff 1 then a review of 1 blocks everything else you're doing, eh? At least the traditional route, branching everything straight off of main, means you can merge 2..n and rebase 1 once it passes, leaving you less blocked.

There must be something I'm missing because there are a lot of people promoting stacking diffs.
