Agreed. Thank you for saying so. We're working on this in two ways:

1. Reducing the number of moving parts, so there are fewer interfaces that need to be documented and understood ... because they don't exist.

2. Resources like https://zero-to-nix.com/, and https://docs.determinate.systems/.

This is a big lift, though, so anything we do here in the near future will definitely not be enough.
> […] but the claim that never actually completing the upgrade was the only way is a bit too hand wavy I think.

Is it accurate to think of it as an "upgrade" versus "addition"? It's not like HTTP 1.1 went away just because HTTP 3/QUIC came around.

HTTP 3 may have certain useful features, but lots of folks do need/care about them and so may never activate it (at least on purpose, unless Apache/Nginx have them default-on). This thinking may not add much burden to the rest of the Internet for that protocol.

Whereas not supporting IPv6 can add burdens to others:

> Our [American Indian] tribal network started out IPv6, but soon learned we had to somehow support IPv4 only traffic. It took almost 11 months in order to get a small amount of IPv4 addresses allocated for this use. In fact there were only enough addresses to cover maybe 1% of population. So we were forced to create a very expensive proxy/translation server in order to support this traffic.

> We learned a very expensive lesson. 71% of the IPv4 traffic we were supporting was from ROKU devices. 9% coming from DishNetwork & DirectTV satellite tuners, 11% from HomeSecurity cameras and systems, and remaining 9% we replaced extremely outdated Point of Sale(POS) equipment. So we cut ROKU some slack three years ago by spending a little over $300k just to support their devices.

I don't know why people keep replying as if I'm saying Android isn't going to do RISC-V.

I especially don't understand offering code that predates the removal from tree and hasn't been touched since. Or, a mailing list, where we click on the second link and see a Google employee saying on October 10th "there isn't an Android riscv64 ABI yet either, so it would be hard to have [verify Android runs properly on RISC-V] before an ABI :-)"

That's straight from the horses mouth. There's no ABI for RISC-V. Unless you've discovered something truly novel that you left out, you're not compiling C that'll run on RISC-V if it makes any system calls.

I assume there's some psychology thing going on where my 110% correct claim that it doesn't run on RISC-V today is transmutated to "lol risc-v doesn't matter and Android has 0 plans"

I thoroughly believe Android will fully support RISC-V sooner rather than later.
The inherent problem is that what you want out of social media and what it wants after you are at odds. It's not intended to be a social tool; it's intended to keep your eyes on the platform as much as possible. Their goal is to incite an addiction in you, not unlike gambling.

Naturally we can take measures to try to prevent ourselves from developing an addiction. But ultimately the product itself will always attempt to undo those.

In my view there's two camps of people: those who have to recognize this reality, and those that haven't. I have seen many family members literally destroy their lives and relationships due to the dopamine addiction they've developed with social media. They now only respond to blatant lies, conspiracies, racism, homophobia, and the most extreme of emotions. The trouble is this is a unique addiction, one that does not rely on a substance. I have no doubt I would have an easier time weaning them off of heroin than off of Facebook.
Are you forgetting the part about hiring a private investigator to go dig up dirt on the man who risked his own life to save a bunch of trapped children?

It's getting closer to that, but not quite there yet. There's Bigscreen Beyond out already, and the Immersed Visor is coming up, and they're a lot closer to that than Quest 3 or Apple Vision Pro to glasses (but also either less powerful and/or more expensive).

You are correct.

Although, communication has two parts: sending and receiving.

Application named “rustFoo”, automatically is an advertising for rust, and title “RustFoo is faster than Foo” for many implies “rust is faster than <probablyC>”.
Even in places where home building is permissive, you never see a newly built home that is cheaper than the surrounding area's prices. I wouldn't chalk it up to a 100% supply issue. Nobody builds inexpensive apartments or small 1950's era single family homes. Every new home start is the same "luxury townhome" that's going to sell at or above prevailing home prices.

I don't think they're going to win. But I do worry a bit about Flock, which is extraordinarily popular (for some good reasons and some bad ones).

I've posted here before about this, but: we did a give-to-get in my local municipality. The police (and voters), concerned about a wave of carjackings, wanted a Flock deployment. Activists opposed the cameras. There was a board fight, which came down to a tie-breaking vote from the board president.

In exchange for a pilot deployment of Flock, we ultimately:

* Disabled automatic sharing of Flock data to out-of-state entities (I tried getting sharing disabled altogether, but we solved a murder with shared access to another muni's cameras)

* Revised the police department's General Order regarding ALPR cameras to get a bunch of privacy/security stuff added (mandatory 2FA, use exclusively from PD computers, monthly audits of Flock stops, etc). The General Order we approved also forbade the use of Flock cameras for non-violent crimes.

* Got the ACLU's CCOPS model ordinance enacted, which mandates board approval of any new surveillance technology --- we're the first muni in Illinois to do that (put us on your silly maps, ACLU!), and, finally

* Forbade the police department from using Flock to stop "stolen" cars (the Illinois "hot list" of stolen cars is surprisingly bad, with months sometime passing after cars reported stolen being removed when it turned out they weren't); we instead monitor for stolen license plates (for which there are no innocent explanations).

None of this is perfect. The activists certainly aren't happy! On the other hand, we probably have the most tightly restricted ALPR deployment in the country, and we were up against an electorate that, if it had to choose between no cameras and 5x as many cameras with zero restrictions, would have sided with the cameras. So I'm calling it a huge win.
Tokenizers face an odd compute issue.

Since they're part of the pre-processing pipeline, you can't quickly test them out for effectiveness. You have to restart a pretraining run to test downstream effectiveness.

Separately,

As much as an attention module can do universal nonlinear transformations....I wonder if it makes sense to add specifuc modules for some math primitives as well. I remember that the executor paper [1] (slightly precursor to the attention is allyou need paper) created self contained modules for operations like less than, count, sum and then explicitly orchestrated them in the decoder.

I'm surprised we haven't seen such solutions produce sota results from math-ai or code-ai research communities.

Honestly, that seems to be part of the playbook for almost every show now. I wonder if people just didn't notice it much until the Bear or Ted Lasso, or maybe just because it's more of an abrupt departure from the main story line in those shows instead of just being a b-plot part of a normal episode.

So I can kind of understand where the confusion comes from. I used this to buy my wife and I MacBooks last year. When I started the checkout flow I didn’t initially realize I was just applying for an Apple Card, rather than just being a loan with a fixed payment. I could see people that don’t understand how zero interest offers interact with revolving credit accounts might not have understood.

But the UI is pretty clear when you make a payment, if you drop the amount under the recommended payment how much interest it’s going to cost you.

I’d like Apple Maps to show up in my field of view. In that case I could even not have a phone at all. (But not like $3500 want). I agree that nobody has found a really good use case. I do wonder to what extent that is just because nobody has released an AR headset that you’d wear outside.
It's kind of interesting because I think most people implementing RAG aren't even thinking about tokenization at all. They're thinking about embeddings:

1. chunk the corpus of data (various strategies but they're all somewhat intuitive)

2. compute embedding for each chunk

3. generate search query/queries

4. compute embedding for each query

5. rank corpus chunks by distance to query (vector search)

6. construct return values (e.g chunk + surrounding context, or whole doc, etc)

So this article really gets at the importance of a hidden, relatively mundane-feeling, operation that occurs which can have an outsized impact on the performance of the system. I do wish it had more concrete recommendations in the last section and code sample of a robust project with normalization, fine-tuning, and eval.

I've worked in a ~6'-height cube farm more dense and plain than any of these photos, but actually more pleasant than most of these look, and better than most open-plan offices I've seen.

With cubes, most of the engineers didn't need headphones nor medication to focus, unlike open-plan. And there was a lot of stopping in others' cube doorways for quick meetings, and temporarily wheeling chairs into the hall.

The cube partitions were finished in a coarse weave of gray cloth, and there were copious T-shaped pins, which people weren't shy about using to hang project artifacts, decorations, and amusements on the insides and outsides of their cubes.

No motivational posters, and I don't recall any soul-sucking corporate art.

A clearing had some small round tables that people sometimes used for meetings. And for "Friday at 4" socializing, the tables were pushed out of the way, and someone brought in big galvanized tubs of ice and beverages.

WFH (with occasional in-person) is best overall, but cube farms can be better than they're made out to be.
sorry - we are still in test mode of the core fn, yet to make the copy writing!!

yes, it sort of counter-intuitive, but at best it levels the playing field for many who have no idea about the inner challenges on the hiring side, who for some ungodly reason, throw out good resumes because they didn't see a keyword how they wanted. For now, we are helping candidates fix their resumes, while the flip side gets better.

we are also building tools for hiring teams where the hiring manager's requirements are captured accurately as well.

Resumes should not be a thing that prevents someone from getting a job, and we intend to fix that for now.
The Clerk branding is a non issue really. I mean, you just use the components and remove it with CSS lol, easy peasy. Although, I left it on one of my apps because I actually thought it made it look more secure but that's just me. My users aren't in the "know" so ymmv.

Splitting hairs, but the authkit.app domain basically is an ad no?

Yeah, I agree on the MFA and Passkeys. Impersonation is a toss up for me, I understand where they're coming from but also would be nice if it was in the free tier.

Looking at the authkit docs, unless I'm using Next or Remix... I need to store the refresh token, manage refreshing the access token, verify the access token, manage revoking the session and deleting the cookies. Clerk does all that for me so that's a win in my book (I understand you folks are working on more SDKs, so that'll be cool).

I don't doubt that Authkit is good, and I like seeing the competition. Clerk has been good to me for quite some time now. I've had to go into their Discord a few times for help and they were awesome, so that's kept me around even through the problems I've had. I've never felt like I was getting inferior support for being a free customer. I guess I'm more ride or die for Clerk than I thought lol.

But hey, to your credit you've convinced me to try out authkit on my next project so that's a win for you there. I'm always open to seeing what's out there.

I do! I’ve played around with it with this exact setup. It really depends on your processor, these toolchains really love a good mix of both high frequency and multi core. A hello world adder is less than a minute, a riscv core much much longer. A 16 core zen4/zen5 can compile the riscv core and linux in roughly 20 minutes? Compared to about an hour on a M1 Max macbook pro - It’s been awhile so I could be misremembering.
The whole point of mathematical notation is to ease the cognitive burden by making certain things more automatic via symbol-shuffling: We don't need to think too hard about solving an algebra problem because we can shuffle symbols around and be assured that the result is valid. I've never seen APL or any other array language used that way, even though it's the only thing that could possibly justify their pathological terseness.

I have a recollection of a design where microprocessor reads were used to refresh DRAM contents. Late 1970s. I thought it was in a early 6800 Motorola book. Can find it now, or no mention of the technique, now. Would slow down program operation for sure. Maybe my recollection is wrong, not sure.
> iPhones have the fastest chip in existence in this market which also happens to be the most efficient.

This is a relatively recent development. For a long time, Android phones were faster even with inferior CPUs due to having better software.

> The screens are some of the highest quality.

The screens are the same as any other premium phone and for a long time were inferior, being late to adopt OLED.

> The cameras are among the best.

Also same as any any other premium phone and inferior for a long time before that.

> The software is unique and much more consistent and easy to use than the alternative.

The software is significantly worse, lacking copy and paste for a long time and then lacking turn by turn navigation for a long time. The update experience remains significantly worse. Notifications remain much worse. Use as a combined work and personal phone remains much worse. Use as a telephone remains much worse. Use as a general purpose computing device remains much worse.

the entire industry of scientific paper lifecycle is a horrid mess, a poisoned well that must be destroyed.

There are multiple paths as far garbage papers, like not reading what is cited, LLM generated content, data falsification, buying a spot on a paper like this article describes, and so on.

Authors produce garbage papers. Peer reviewers do not review. Journals demand large amounts of monies to publish and read. Researchers do not read, therefore cite garbage papers. This results in wrong results, authoring garbage papers. Rinse, repeat.

I do not know how to fix this, considering the vast amount of garbage papers already published. How do we filter them out?

There is no such thing as universally self-documenting code, because self-documentation relies on an assumption of an audience — what that audience knows, what patterns are comfortable for them — that does not exist in general.

Self-documenting code can work in a single team, particularly a small team with strong norms and shared knowledge. Over time as that team drifts, the shared knowledge will weaken, and the "self-documenting" code will no longer be self-documenting to the new team members.

I appreciate someone from the project commenting here. I left Nix because it just has too many warts, and unfortunately, they've only increased over time, which is the opposite of what I expected.

- I'd update Nixpkgs, and my build would stop working. The logging was awful, so fixing it took hours.

- The mono repo sounds nice, but selective updates are almost impossible.

- Building our Go project in a Nix package was nearly impossible with private GitHub repos, so we moved on.

- Bash scripts never work because binaries are never where they should be in Linux.

I could go on, but my experience with Nix and NixOS left me with significant scars. I’m hopeful that someone will eventually create a more user-friendly deterministic OS.

There are popular third-party libraries, used by apps, offering whatever functionality.

Those third-party libraries do deals with whoever, to include into the library whatever code it is the whoever wants to get out onto a ton of phones.

I worked for a company in Germany, who wanted to get some Bluetooth base station detection functionality out into phones, so they could track people.

Company put Bluetooth base stations into a bunch of locations, and then paid a major third-party library to include their code.

Bingo. One week later, millions of phones being tracked.
