Exactly. And pay more attention to the delta/time and delta/delta/time.

We are all enjoying/noticing some repeatable wack behavior of LLMs, but we are seeing the dual wack of humans revealed too.

Massive gains in neural type models and abilities A, B, C, ..., I, J, K, in very little time.

Lots of humans: It's not impressive because can't L, M, yet.

They say people model change as linear, even when it is exponential. But I think a lot of people judge the latest thing as if it somehow became a constant. As if there hasn't been a succession of big leaps, and that they don't strongly imply that more leaps will follow quickly.

Also, when you know before listening that a new artifact was created by a machine, it is easy to identify faults and "conclude" the machine's output was clearly identifiable. But that's pre-informed hindsight. If anyone heard this podcast in the context of The Onion, it would sound perfectly human. Intentionally hilarious, corny, etc. But it wouldn't give itself away as generated.
<link rel="octo:octothorpes" href="architecture">

Wait, no. While this wouldn't cause much issue due to the unrecognized link type, `href` should always be a valid URL and can't be a free-form string. This is more obvious when you realize that `rel` accepts multiple link types:

<link rel="octo:octothorpes help" href="architecture">

A conformant agent will recognize `help` and treat this like `<link rel="help" href="architecture">`. The same goes for `<a rel="octo:octothorpes" ...>`. The correct way would be using standard-recognized elements and attributes instead:

<meta name="octo:octothorpes" content="architecture">
<a href="/blabla" itemscope>
<meta name="octo:octothorpes" content="architecture">
blablablabla

Get a bunch of old VHS tapes from the 90s and just use that. A kid that young listening to podcasts seems so frigging weird. Read a book to them? Do they still make those books where you press a button and it makes animal sounds? Put up a basketball hoop outside?
No, there's no traditional database-level locking here. The Durable Object itself is single-threaded, so you don't have to worry about multiple things trying to change the same data at the same time.

As far as scaling yeah there are still some challenges there. I mentioned in another response there's a limit of 1K RPS, and the single-threadedness could become a bottle-neck. I think there are probably clever workarounds here that we still want to explore, for instance each Durable Object could handle a seperate piece of state and you would effectively have a level of state-based sharding.
AM radio reception on a headphone wire is pretty bad. I've had a few small radios designed to get commercial AM/FM using the headphones as antennas; the reception is almost always very miserable.

Meanwhile commercial FM is like ~3.5M wavelength; you're pretty close to a quarter wave with a normal headphone wire (~3ft).
Did something happen that made Sailfish relevant again? Surprised to see it on the front page today.

It's unfortunate that they're taking a closed source model when others like System76 and Librem are using their hardware sales to fund open source development.

There's also webOS, which was originally funded by Palm and doesn't seem to have any open source development any longer, and the Maui project which is basically one guy trying to make his own Linux UI.

I'd love to see a team with decent UX sensibilities tackle a touch-first Linux UI. Nothing I've seen so far has impressed me. Seems like there are a lot of onesie-and-twosie sized projects that take forever to ship anything and never hit critical mass; meanwhile, nothing really holds a candle to the design of Android/iOS.
This is another unnecessarily snarky reply.

I’ve specifically mentioned the LTSC build when mentioning Windows 11, which does not have the normal bloat.

The consumer version of Windows 11 is terrible IMO, but that’s more a business decision than a technical one.
Or maybe hit the Ukulele with a hammer, record it with a computer and create an experimental noise album.
Web discoverability still seems like a challenge. Lots of echo chamber algorithms feeding to engagement/rage. Whats the next step?
Honestly the N9/N950 feels a lot more polished - UI wise - than sailfish.

It is kind of expected, given the budget of Nokia ... But even some of the design and aesthetic choices of Sailfish don't really age well once the novelty wears off
And that kind of thing might still work today for devices that respond to ICMP pings.

Not so much any more aside from your example of saturating a really tiny link. Most routers are either based on Linux or BSD and ICMP is rate limited using a few knobs and masks icmp_ratelimit, icmp_msgs_per_sec, icmp_msgs_burst based on icmp_ratemask. Enterprise routers have even more rate limiting that factor in back plane CPU load and other vendor specific controls. Enterprise routers will appear to stop responding or appear to have packet loss but they are just silently dropping ICMP when the rate is over their set thresholds as defined by the vendor defaults or by the network administrator.

Give it a shot some time on Linux or BSD. Install iftop to watch network usage and htop or btop to watch CPU usage and flood yourself with one of the ping tools fping, hping3, nping, blitzping, etc... Ideally blizping but you may have to compile it. Just for fun start loosening the sysctl restrictions on ICMP rate limits and find the spot where your CPU load is undesirable to the point where applications lag.

On the topic of security it is a good idea to block ICMP redirects unless one knows they need it. Or conversely a more restricted approach would be to allow Echo Request, Echo Reply and maybe Destination Unreachable outbound for pmtu discovery. Address Mask Request/Reply can be considered information disclosure to some organizations. It is also a good practice to disable responding to ICMP broadcasts in the OS via sysctl unless you know you need it.

> Funny how exploiting uninitialized variables is evil in (nonstrict) JavaScript but good in Awk. I agree that’s true, mind you, I just can’t pinpoint what about the languages’ designs makes it work in one case but not the other.

Have you had real success with cxx? I've been trying to FFI a C++ lib (that I have limited control over) and it's been a real PITA. At this point I'm thinking of just making a pure-c interface for what I want on the C++ side and using C bindgen or just straight "extern C" because C++ FFI seems so painful.

It looks like the author's memory of PHP stopped before modern standards were established. Which is to be expected, since they probably left PHP a long time ago to become an evangelist for another language/framework.

Here "PHP" is used as a generic term for "whatever crap we called web programming back in the 00s." Or maybe just "WordPress."
I wrote my first web app in Pascal as a CGI because that was what I knew. That app turned out to become the most popular Turkish social platform for the following 25 years.

I coded that app in 3 hours. It was very crude as you can imagine. But, it did its job. If I had to start with a “better” platform that I didn’t know, I could have spent days or weeks to learn and may not have released anything in the end because I got bored.

Don’t discount a language for a certain type of application because you think it’d be harder to work with than something else. Familiarity goes a long way.

Actually we have heaps of fairly reasonable sized solar farms both built and operating and also in development right now. The politics your talking about is actually just that...politics. It's the optics of opposition. We are cranking out solar and approving decent sized installs all the time. The opposition just likes to make it out like their is kickback and it's not happening in order to back up their own political view and make themselves feel good.

Business on the other hand is churning on with rolling it out and making bank from it.
This is actually inline with the parent commentor's point - let your kids be creative and try to produce something.

Don't (1) ask a machine to automate the creativity and (2) then give it to your kids to consume in a non-interactive manner.
I'm not going to lie, my first response was:

Wait, what, you think we need another web framework?

.....buuuut, if you spend more than 5 second actually reading the article...

Is where you can find the code, for what they're trying to make, to fill this gap.

Sure. Not a web framework. An all in one opinionated good out of the box defaults like rails.

Yes, there's no django/rails for rust.

Or go. Or clojure.

In fact, a lot of people have tried to make all-in-one frameworks, but usually the way the wind blows is that doing something specific is easy, but doing something flexible and generic is hard, a lot of work, and unless you're being paid to do it, it's a loveless job that eventually you get sick of and abandon.

I feel like if you're really going to go and write a rails clone, you need to spend a little bit of time digging into some of the other failed attempts and reasons they failed (eg. 1, 2, 3) first.

The landscape is littered with aborted rails clones.

It's perhaps... fun, but ultimately futile and naive, to think you can be 'the one that makes it' when so many others have failed, if you don't take the time to understand why so very very very VERY many attempts to do this in many languages has failed.

(NB. Not to pick on clojure; I could have picked a bunch of go examples instead, but I guess the clojure failures have been particularly visible to me since I use clojure, and it's a place where, like rust, currently there are a lot of 'bits and pieces you can assemble yourself' and it feels like, surely just slapping them all together in one package can't be that hard...)

I was driving in the burbs yesterday and saw a giant skeleton… like 13’ tall and the skull being 2’ wide. I said to my friend “where do they store that stuff? I’m guessing their Christmas lawn stuff is just as extreme.”

a lot of people love their holiday decor. Not how much resale you can get on a giant skeleton, but it’s not an easy lift. Seems like a good use case for storage… a few thousand a year to make you happy thinking you’re bringing holiday cheer to neighbors and kids.
Doesn't really answer the question. Most webapps are this way and people are still surprisingly unaware of this.
This is oddly timely. I'm travelling in Europe at the moment and have been covering a lot of area with a lot of roundabouts where they would be signaled or signed intersections in the US. They definitely make traffic flow smoothly and I've noticed a few areas where they are used to eliminate dangerous left turns at places like parking lots, you leave turning right, hit the next roundabout to "uturn" then head back the way you wanted to go. As a traffic device they really have lots of different kinds of use cases beyond just an alternative for a 4way.

Where I grew up in a rural part of the US, we had one terrible 4-way intersection between two undevided highways. Over time they added lights, then experimented with different signaling systems, but every day it would back up for several miles in a couple directions, and add up to 30 minutes to some commutes. Then there were the inevitable accidents as people tried to rush it, making things worse all around.

They replaced it with a roundabout about a decade ago, the population in the area also has increased dramatically in those years as farms turned into suburbs, but the backup is entirely gone. Theres no need any longer to maintain lights and switching systems, and the accidents are almost nil. Nobody has died there in years. People complained at first because it was "weird" then they realized they were complaining at home a half hour ealier than they would have been, so they stopped.

They've since added a few more in the area and have even gotten very experimental with a double diamond interchange that's also done a lot of good. There's something in the water at the planners office. Seeing that transformation though and the immediate benefits has turned me into a lifetime fan of the roundabout.
It wasn't the saddest thing ever. It was also probably a joke.

That said, I think there has been many sci-fi stories written from the perspective of it being true. One day we may face that reality, and we'll have to ask ourselves what parenthood means.
Having a tool which gives you wrong results randomly, so you need to double check everything it does, doesn't speed you up. It makes you go slower.
If you prefer your full-stack development in Java, definitely check out Flavour. It gives you the benefits this article claims to want but without the weakly-typed languages and all of their attendant footguns:

It's not particularly rigorous in places. One that I'm familiar with is the names: German "Amal-" is completely unrelated to Latin "[A]emil-". And for both of them the original meaning is at best suspected, not "known".
I learned this fact from watching the documentary "The Queen of trees", quite fascinating! It blew my mind when I first saw it. The documentary is free on YouTube!
What's the value (no pun intended) of such an instruction if "value" is an immediate and not register-based?

If it's an immediate then the compiler (human or machine) knows what the operation will be, so could just write that instead?
No easy answers, no solutions only trade-offs. Perhaps better for safety, but they makes crossing as a pedestrian longer and harder. And while intersections designed for roundabouts can be pretty smooth, retrofitting undersized roundabouts into intersections designed a 4-way makes for ugly and difficult to navigate messes.

I like them, but it is a mistake to blindly install them anywhere possible.
What are the other options to get Android app support?
That one sounds interesting too, I'll check it out!

I also really enjoyed To the Stars (currently on ch50). Especially the beginning where most of it is fleshing out the madoka lore in a uh, comprehensive way. Like it seems well thought in how magical girls are integrated with science / the military / the govt. In terms of characters, not sure I really care for the SoL scenes but I thought each of the ancient's backstories was pretty interesting (I'm sucker for tragedy).
Because people use their cars to escape disasters and being able to provide information like "I5 is deadlocked for miles, find an alternate route if you are fleeing from $catastrophe" is critical.
What people forget to mention is when they have read a book. I read the Selfish Gene when I was a teen and it left a lasting impression. It was published in 1989. How the Mind works was published in 2011.

Reading the Selfish Gene today as an adult, when you've probably read a dozen similar books already, is not going to have the same effect. It's going to be pretty boring. That's why asking for book recommendations is flawed to begin with.

We had a minimum expected hashrate and power profile depending on the card model and batch. It would be in the 0-20% range.

For what I'm doing now with my company which is more bleeding edge... we just deployed a cluster of 128 MI300x (8x gpus in a chassis). A good 50% of the chassis had 1-2 issues either in the gpu or the baseboard, on delivery.
Despite minor grievances (primarily UI related, and likely inconsequential to others), I also prefer Sequoia over previous iterations. The future of mac/iOS is visible on the horizon and I expect it to roll out in a steady series of well-considered upgrades.

I was a die-hard Mojave holdout until two months ago; if anything, preferring Snow Leopard or iOS 6 or whatever (review screenshots) seems to be the more contrarian take when considering contemporary workflows, device interoperability, and aesthetic cohesiveness. It's like pining for a Powerbook G4 or iMac G3 – nostalgic curiosities, but personally, I'm glad we've moved on.

Windows though... take me back to '98!

Can confirm, I love my Linux 2024 g14 to death, and prefer using it over my MacBook. The latest updates in Arch fixed the suspend issues.
> I don't see where we disagree. That's pretty much exactly why my points are less relevant for math papers: they are supposed to be self-contained.

I'd certainly disagree that math papers are supposed to be self-contained (at least they are not supposed to be completely self-contained, or else they'd balloon to ridiculous size), but I think I misunderstood your comment:

> To be fair, it is less applicable to math papers, than other topics, but academic papers are not easy to get information from, the main thing they are supposedly exist for.

I read it as "it is less applicable to math papers than other academic papers that they are not easy to get information from." I think, based on your follow-up, that you meant instead "it is less applicable to math papers than other academic papers that they exist for getting information from." My apologies for misunderstanding.
> What people fall in love with is the rigorous static typing, the Option monad, the exhaustive enums (which are just sum types in disguise), the traits (type classes in disguise), the borrow checker (a half-way house to immutability) etc.

I feel like I say this every time this sort of discussion comes up, but I still think that there's a space for a higher-level language with most of what people like from Rust that has a (tracing) garbage collector and is slightly more relaxed with trying to design a way around every marginal heap allocation. Most of the time I bring this up, someone will suggest something like Swift or OCaml, but I think the part people miss is how even despite all of the complexity that comes with being a systems programming language, Rust really goes out of its way to try to be developer friendly despite that.

Yes, it's a meme that Rust programmers are zealous evangelists and want to rewrite the world in it (which is a bit of an exaggeration in terms of lumping all Rust enthusiasts into that group, but there's certainly an element of truth in it), but no one seems to talk about how _weird_ of an idea it is for a language notorious for having a terrible learning curve to be so popular with people perceived to be lacking real-world experience with the domain. How did a language that's supposed to be so hard get popular to the point where people view its fans as pushing it aggressively? You might chalk some of it up to marketing, but I think people undervalue how much effort is put into the little details in Rust to try to make it more approachable, like error messages, standard library documentation, first-class support for all major platforms, and high-quality introductory materials (e.g. both the original and rewritten The Rust Programming Language book, Rust by Example, Rustlings). I don't think the same experience is there if you want to use Swift on Linux (where the support isn't nearly as strong, and a lot of the fancy new things coming out won't be available) or OCaml (from googling right now, a debate on reddit about "which stdlib should I use as a beginner" is on the first page of results when I search "ocaml std" or "ocaml stdlib").
Eminent domain is not taking the land for free. They mentioned budget as a key reason for the space constraints.
I used PHP to write a back end for a mobile app 14 years ago. It got the job done mostly fine.

Now I'm doing the same thing, and decided to go with Deno because I wanted to learn JavaScript.

Does something like Next replace something like Deno, or does it work with it?
