Oh right namespaces. Though I think those are considered deprecated? Or maybe just discouraged.
> I want are things like function effects

And it's not a cut and dry issue to add. Function effects would add a lot of cognitive load to the developer along with more implicit bounds which increases accidental API break changes. You talk about the compiler implicitly adding the bounds to functions, but what happens when I now add a line in my function that allocates when before it didn't? I just broke my API unless I was also defensively testing all implicit bounds. And if I was testing all implicit bounds, can the language no longer add new bounds? Reversing that and requiring the callee to defensively declare all bounds is a borderline non-starter because it'd such a huge burden to write any function or refactor anything.
> Rust had to be dragged kicking and screaming into integration with other languages

Rust has integration with the C ABI(s) from day 1, which makes sense because the C ABI(s) are effectively the universal ABI(s).

> and its C++ compatibility is a joke

I'm not sure why you would want Rust to support interoperability with C++ though, they are very different languages. Moreover why does this fall on Rust? C++ has yet to support integration with Rust!

> compared to Swift

Swift bundled a whole C++ compiler (Clang) to make it work, that's a complete deal breaker for many.

> Rust historically has been hostile to anything besides unsafe C ABI FFI

Rust historically has been hostile to making the Rust ABI stable, but not to introducing other optional ABIs. Introducing e.g. a C++ ABI has just not been done because there's no mapping for many features like inheritance, move constructors, etc etc. Ultimately the problem is that most ABIs are either so simple that they're the same as the C ABI or they carry so many features that it's not possible to map them onto a different language.

> The HUD in a car can't play YouTube.

It would be easy enough for safety regulations to limit permitted AR content when a person is driving. In fact, I'd be surprised if governments didn't -- I mean, the device manufacturers themselves would probably do it first. If someone died or killed someone) because they were watching YouTube while driving, can you imagine the public outcry and corporate brand damage?

> If you only use your glasses to show directions, that's great, but that's not the issue.

No, that's exactly the issue. Using glasses for their benefits. That's the part you seem to be ignoring.

1. This is pure whataboutism. Just because Sony doesn't contribute (I don't know whether they do or don't), doesn't make it right.

2. There is obviously a difference between "selling products that include OSS" and "selling OSS 1:1". It's not like Sony's firmware/dashboard is maintained by "OpenGamingConsoleDashboard" and they are selling a 95% repackage of that to their end users (also ignoring the hardware). This pertains to the software maintenance logistics layer and not the licensing layer. Sure, both in the Sony and WPEngine cases they are in the clear on the licensing, but that doesn't make for sustainable development of the underlying software. I'd also wager that if the OSS projects used in the PS4 would drum up enough of a social media stink, they'd have decent chances of getting some compensation (e.g. the TLDraw maintainers did that quite a few times successfully).
> I wonder why it is that "octopuses" just kind of sounds wrong?

There are some Latin words ending -us in English, that keep their Latin plurals. For octopuses, both plurals are common and acceptable.

Rust 2.0 wishlist:

* Supports Unions (TypeScript, Flow, Scala3, Hare)

* Supports GADTs

* Capable of targeting both preemptive userland concurrency (go, erlang, concurrent Haskell, concurrent OCaml) and cooperative (tinygo, nodejs, async-python, async-rust) without code changes

* Easily build without libc (CGO_ENABLED=0)

* No Backwards compatibility promise - This eliminates geriatrics

* Cleaner syntax, closer to Go, F#, or Python

* Graph-based Borrow Checker

* Add `try-finally` or `defer` support, `Drop` is too limiting, Async drop could help.

* Fix Remaining MIR Move Optimizations and Stack Efficiency

* Culture for explicit allocator passing like Zig

* `.unwrap()` is removed

More likely the legal system just hasn’t caught up.
It's not weird, it's illegal.

There's a lot of jurisdiction around preventing this sort of abuse of the non-profit concept.

The reason why the people involved are not on trial right now is a bit of a mystery to me, but could be a combination of:

* Still too soon, all of this really took shape in the past year or two.

* Only Musk has sued them, so far, and that happened last month.

* There's some favoritism from the government to the leading AI company in the world.

* There's some favoritism from the government to a big company from YC and Sam Altman.

I do believe Musk's lawsuit will go through. The last two points are worth less and less with time as AI is being commoditized. Dismantling OpenAI is actually a business strategy for many other players now. This is not good for OpenAI.

But more generally, enough generations have passed that "octopus" is no longer a foreign word, it's now just part of the English lexicon, and so you're free to pluralize it in the standard English manner. "Octopuses" is correct by that reasoning.

Note that this is the same process that we eventually apply to every other loanword; next time you talk to a German, watch them cringe at "delicatessens" as the plural to "delicatessen".
Yeah, I use about a dozen git aliases in my normal workflow. In case it's helpful, here are the relevant ones for this flow:

alias git_main_branch='git rev-parse --abbrev-ref origin/HEAD | cut -d/ -f2'
alias gapa='git add --patch'
alias grbm='git rebase -i --autosquash $(git_main_branch)'
alias gfx='git commit --fixup $(git log $(git_main_branch)..HEAD --oneline| fzf| cut -d" " -f1)'

Another favorite is:

alias gmru="git for-each-ref --sort=-committerdate --count=50 refs/heads/ --format='%(HEAD) %(refname:short) | %(committerdate:relative) | %(contents:subject)'| fzf | sed -e 's/^[^[[:alnum:]]]*[[:space:]]*//' | cut -d' ' -f1| xargs -I _ git checkout _"

gmru (git most recently used) will show you the branches you've been working on recently and let you use fzf to select one to check out.
>Careless use in bed?

No, it doesn't. You can read more when that was first posted to Hacker News. If I recall and understand correctly, they're just using the output of sublayers as training data for the outermost layer. So in other words, they're faking it and hiding that behind layers of complexity

The other day, I asked Copilot to verify a unit conversion for me. It gave an answer different than mine. Upon review, I had the right number. Copilot had even written code that would actually give the right answer, but their example of using that code performed the actual calculations wrong. It refused to accept my input that the calculation was wrong.

So not only did it not understand what I was asking and communicating to it, it didn't even understand its own output! This is not reasoning at any level. This happens all the time with these LLMs. And it's no surprise really. They are fancy, statistical copy cats.

From an intelligence and reasoning perspective, it's all smoke and mirrors. It also clearly has no relation to biological intelligent thinking. A primate or cetacean brain doesn't take the billions of dollars and how much energy to train on terabytes of data. While it's fine that AI might be artificial and not an analog of biological intelligence, these LLMs bear no resemblance to anything remotely close to intelligence. We tell students all the time to "stop guessing". That's what I want to yell at these LLMs all the time.

That's not quite how o1 was trained, they say.

o1 was trained specifically to perform reasoning.

Or rather, it was trained to reproduce the patterns within internal monologues that lead to correct answers to problems, particularily STEM problems.

While this still uses text at some level, it's no longer regurgitation of human-produced text, but something more akin to AlphaZero's training to become superhuman at games like Go or Chess.

Love the analogy. As a robotics (software) engineer I've long struggled to explain to software engineers why certain things are extremely hard.

I think I'll use your analogy next time, "and then robotics is like gardening. You don't know when the weather will change what wild life will come and try to ruin it, or the soil composition. At least in the house, you can be certain everything is made by human for humans, and things make sense. Outside, not so much. "

> How is REMOVING features anti-competitive? In what universe does taking something out of your products hurt your competition? That is absurd.

You're unironically arguing that EEE isn't anti competitive?

The whole strategy is about removing support/features at the right time when users cannot realistically leave, putting the nail in the competitors coffin.

Simply put:

1. initial product supports both equally

2. People start using your product

3. Competitors product work less well

4. People will use the better working product. Despite the fact that the downgrade in quality is artificial.

Or is it only anti-competitive if Microsoft does it, Apple being the last bastion of healthy competition on the market, with groundbreaking examples like the AppStore and the green/blue bubbles in their chat app?

> I've had the thought before that if I was a Billionaire this would be my pet project.

That would be a worthwhile endeavour.
> Programming isn’t just about writing code. It’s about solving problems. Developers should focus on understanding the problem deeply before jumping into solutions.

In my experience, this responsibility has been pushed off to software architects. Generally speaking, the real problems are with Rube Goldberg business processes that were developed 30+ years ago that entire departments have been built around and each department only thinks about local improvements - and they're the ones giving you requirements. Enterprise Architects are supposed to be taking the global view, but too much business organization change is required to accomplish their goals, which is politically expensive, so it's rarely done.

That's why I often say most business problems aren't technology problems. Meanwhile everyone, both technology and business leaders, believe new technology will solve all their business problems.

I stay abreast with current frameworks, current languages, current tooling and the like because it's interesting. When it comes to solve the actual business problems we've been experiencing for decades, they'll have little impact.
I'm not sure what you're trying to say.

I thought we're talking about intelligence, not consciousness, and limitations of the LLM/transformer architecture that limit their intelligence compared to humans.

In fact LLMs are not only architecturally limited, but they also give the impression of being far more intelligent than they actually are due to mimicking training sources that are more intelligent than the LLM itself is.

If you want to bring consciousness into the discussion, then that is basically just the brain modelling itself and the subjective experience that gives rise to. I expect it arose due to evolutionary adaptive benefit - part of being a better predictor (i.e. more intelligent) is being better able to model your own behavior and experiences, but that's not a must-have for intelligence.

God’s Word and the evidence for God is in the training data. Since it has power (“living and active”), just letting people see it when they look for answers is acceptable for us. The training data also has the evidence people use for other claims, too. We users want AI’s to tell us about any topic we ask about without manipulating us. If there’s multiple views, we want to see them. Absence of or negative statements about key views, especially of 2-3 billion people, means the company is probably suppressing them.

We don’t want it to beat us into submission about one set of views it was aligned to prefer. That’s what ChatGPT was doing. In one conversation, it would even argue over and over in each paragraph not to believe the very points it was presenting. That’s not just unhelpful to us: it’s deceptive for them to do that after presenting it like it serves all our interests, not just one side’s.

It would be more honest if they added to its advertising or model card that it’s designed to promote far-left, Progressive, and godless views. That moral interpretations of those views are reinforced while others are watered down or punished by the training process. Then, people may or may not use those models depending on their own goals.
