> My point is that unsafe Rust without Valgrind is more dangerous than C++ with Valgind

Your point is wrong is the issue.

Doing unsafe Rust is harder – there is some syntaxic salt plus doing unsafe code in Rust requires different mindset.

But it's also safer. Why? Because borrow checker is never turned off. Plus you get warning, lints, miri, clippy warning about your code being wrong.

> It does not follow that "we will rewrite it in 95% safe Rust, except for the tricky bits" will eliminate 95% of C++ memory errors.

Again, wrong. It should go like this "Rewrite in Rust will be memory safe (assuming we didn't bungle up the unsafe bits)".

Compiler relies on you for checking the boundary between safe and unsafe. If that's correct, great. If not you only have to check like 5% of your codebase. Which is 20x less than 100%. Maybe I'm not a 20x developer.

Which is a stark contrast to C++ you either write your safe abstractions and pray to God that others won't break, or you make Vec.pop be unsafe because you can't be bothered to return an Optional or null.

Right but if you implement the rest of the features, you become an org-mode IDE anyway. I don't mean that's a bad thing, syntax is just bare minimum, most usefulness comes from interactive developer experience anyway. I was just addressing the point parent raised that marrying markup with IDE is a bad idea, and that when it comes to syntax org-mode is hardly underspecified compared to other markup languages.

Would it be neat to have an alternate complete implementation of org-mode elsewhere? Sure. But unlike say Photoshop, Emacs is already open and extremely hackable. That mitigates most of the reasons you would want to.
It's not that a huge part of their business-idea is, and has been to build machines designed to kill large amounts of people either.
> Although it is possible to install Emacs in Android as a terminal tool in Termux or even as a GUI tool

FWIW, it seems Emacs can now be built for Android natively - there seem to be related files and documentation in the main Emacs repo, though I haven't actually built it myself, so I don't know how well it works.

Here you are making a mistake - AGI by its nature should know all there is to know, and yet need to make progress by searching for new approaches and discoveries. That doesn't happen all at once, it works field by field, and discoveries actually come from experimental validation. There is no "secretly developing AGI" to "quickly concentrate all wealth and power".

Like bitcoin, you are basically saying someone could outcompute humanity and own the ledger. But in reality the combined research power of humanity, which is necessary for AGI to advance further, is much deeper than any one entity could achieve in isolation. Research is a social process.

An interesting piece that contradicts the early reports about crew leaving vents open:

> The company speculated that the crew did not close a watertight door between this hatch and the engine room.
(...)

> But witnesses, an Italian official familiar with the investigation and the underwater video challenged the company’s versions of events. The footage appeared to show the watertight door to the engine room closed, and the Italian official said the divers had not seen any open hatches on the hull.

> Mr. Borner also said that after rescuing the captain, he asked him if he had shut the hatches. The captain said he had. Mr. Borner shared pictures taken by his guests a few moments before the Bayesian sank that appear to show that hull hatches were closed.

Overall, a very informative article, it analyzes boat's documentation and compares it with other boats from the same manufacturer.

> The problem with sites that extract text from movies and other content is that they reduce people’s desire to pay a fair price for content, which can lead to people not seeing the official full-length movies, causing great damage to rights holders

The article doesn't use the word "subtitles" so its not clear what they provided. Did they create subtitles in another language like english or just a movie plot (elaborate) summary ?

Considering Japan has no fair use exception, doesn't movie reviews also reduce people's desire to pay fair price.

Nothing is barring Apple from supporting Vulkan natively on MacOS. This is essentially the closing statement of Alyssa Rosenzweig´s talk.

With Apple knowledge of internal documents they are the best positioned to produce an even better low level implementation.

At this point the main blockroad is the opinionated point that Metal porting is the only official supported way to go.

If Valve pull up a witch-crafted way to run AAA games on Mac without Apple support that would be an interesting landscape. And maybe would force Apple to re-consider their approach if they don't want to be cornered on their own platform...

I switched from Adguard Home to Blocky because I noticed how much faster page loads were on Blocky. I've configured it to cache any query I resolve more than once in a 24 hour window. This makes most of my page loads really, really fast.

Adguard also has the ability to cache. But I haven't seen it to significantly speed up my page loads. The default resolution itself is much slower on Adguard + Cloudflare DNS compared to Blocky + Cloudflare DNS. So this makes Adguard double whammy.
Saying that working with AI is just "LLM prompts and orchestration" is the same as saying that coding is no more than some for loop with sometimes if condition. Technically true but irrelevant.
That's an odd thing to say about the platform with the longest running binary backwards compatibility by far. Software from upwards of 25 years ago still works for the most part, the ABIs are so stable that the easiest way to ship games on Linux that won't break every 6 months is to... use the Windows ABIs as a stable abstraction.
Is it possible the people administering these tests are less than honest about the outcome? Perhaps they have a vested interest in the results they've shown?

Super cool, and really nice to see the continuous rapid progress of these models! I have to wonder how long-term state (building a base and coming back later) as well as potentially guided state (e.g. game rules that are enforced in traditional code, or multiplayer, or loading saved games, etc) will work.

It's probably not by just extending the context window or making the model larger, though that will of course help, because fundamentally external state and memory/simulation are two different things (right?).

Either way it seems natural that these models will soon be used for goal-oriented imagination of a task – e.g. imagine a computer agent that needs to find a particular image on a computer, it would continuously imagine the path between what it currently sees and its desired state, and unlike this model which takes user input, it would imagine that too. In some ways, to the best of my understanding, this already happens with some robot control networks, except without pixels.
I'm using same set of Blocklists (800k-1M rulesets) in my comparison between Adguard and Blocky with same upstream resolver.

I'm running them as system service on my laptop, and using my localhost as dns proxy.
How about the scenario where I do a select … where … on a view and that view is defined to have 5 CTEs on different tables and then a final select doing some complex stuff there.

Adguard Dashboard shows average DNS resolution time. I eventually shifted to Blocky which tracks logs of every DMS query. I strung a quick python script to make a dashboard similar to Adguard's and calculating avg resolution time for each resolved A records.
Yup, definite recommendation for Turing Complete. It looks nice, is really well done and very addictive.

Also, it's on GOG (https://www.gog.com/game/turing_complete) which is always nice.

The previous record was 33x33x33. Imagine going through all that just to beat it by one unit while using the same design, that's so cheap.

I'm so glad he was beaten by the 49x49x49.
Nothing interesting particularly, but cached + faster DNS resolution is usually perceptible in general web browsing.
As if OpenAI won't end up offering paid access to influence these results, or advertise inside them. Of course they will, just like how Google started without ads.

It will be even more opaque and unblockable.
I'm perplexed.
Actually impressive
I’m much more disturbed by the amount of faith purported NIs are willing to put in the predictions of other purported NIs about the capabilities of hypothetical so-called AIs when actually extant so-called AIs evince nothing like those capabilities than I am by the growth curve of so-called AIs.

In other words, consider your own authority bias before worrying too much about the normalcy bias of others, especially when there have been so-called AI winters before and may well be again.

I was using embeddings to group articles by topic, and hit a specific issue. Say I had 10 articles about 3 topics, and articles are either dry or very casual in tone.

I found clustering by topic was hard, because tone dimensions ( whatever they were ) seemed to dominate.

How can you pull apart the embeddings? Maybe use an LLM to extract a topic, and then cluster by extracted topic?

In the end I found it easier to just ask an LLM to group articles by topic.
Perplexity adds citations to the end of each statement. Its nice to be able to go to the primary source and verify whether its mixing anything up.

What is seldom discussed is that instead of taking money from the rich via taxes, thus increasing the power of the government bureaucracy at the expense of private enterprise, another possibility is to simply give shares of the companies to the citizens.

A scheme I’ve thought could potentially work is to mint new shares of publicly traded companies and give them to the citizens in instalments, from the 18th birthday up until the 30th, thus bridging the gap between rich and poor.

A substantial amount of stock of let’s say, 100,000 USD could be paid out like this, together with good wealth management schooling.

Many advantages, what are the disadvantages??
Most countries don't have fair use. The US is very unique in that regard. And unfortunately, given how prelevant the US is on the Internet, a lot of people seem to be under the misconception that fair use is just some sort of a universal thing.

To be clear, I was only responding to your first statement about “how bad the job market's been.”

You can click through to the BLS survey to read more about their methodology, but the job growth number of +254k jobs in September only includes payroll employees. And reading the report would tell you that they do, in fact, track underemployment (people who worked part time but would have preferred full time employment). And neither job growth nor the unemployment rate has anything to do with “averages.”

Can you provide any data to refute the numbers I shared? Because again, the job market is looking pretty good to me.
It's also not the case that all (or even most) AIs ace all (or even most) meaningful tests that aren't pattern or memory based. Adding multi-digit uncommon integers is too hard for many LLMs for example.

My fellow uni students could pass tests on one of my courses by regurgitating the (wrong) answers that had been published and reused for years. I was not popular with faculty for pointing that out, and had most of a year's papers cancelled after the fact...

Folks who run conferences like hytradboi and p99 were likely not going to run any in person conference at all. So it's not like they picked this over any other option other than not doing any conference at all.

Is it really better these organizers do nothing rather than create an online conference? I don't see how that's better personally.

If you don't like online conferences that's totally cool. I think Jamie addressed most of your points too. But hytradboi and p99 are actually excellent and this comment would feel quite demoralizing to me if I were running one of these online conferences.

If you consider complex forms of life serving as an entropy-increasing phenomenon, then you might as well consider that the evolutionary algorithm is governed by such goals. It's even plausible to take the human behaviors like increasing consumerism and growth-orientation as being connected to this fundamental thermodynamic drive. Perhaps we'll find even more efficient principles to drive our consumption further. <extending on your rant obviously />

The concept is that it is possible for people to be in bad faith. This also underlies the idea that people can commit crime, be guilty of crime. I guess the term is 'law'?

Bottom line is that you can't have the bottom line be 'does a person earnestly believe what they're doing is right and good', much less 'do they say they're right'. Can't fall back on that, it's hopelessly inadequate.

I believe Kagi uses most major search indexes as well as its own.

Additionally, I don’t think it’s fair to say it’s more interested in LLMs than focusing on search. I think it’s fair to say they’re interested in ensuring they’re offering a better, non ad-based search replacement.

> Besides, going by legality, illegal immigrants "couldn't" even have passed the border into the country to begin with.

Of course they could. Being an "illegal immigrant" does not imply unlawful border crossing. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegal_immigration_to_the_Uni...

"Visa overstayers mostly enter with tourist or business visas.[99] In 1994, more than half[108] of illegal immigrants were Visa overstayers whereas in 2006, about 45% of illegal immigrants were Visa overstayers.[109]"

(Here in the UK, the vast majority of illegal immigrants arrived legally and overstayed their visas. Yet our Conservative government, who oversaw a large increase in such arrivals, tried to blame all the country's woes on a few small boats illegally crossing our southern border; which is effectively a rounding error).

As an aside, refugees are actually allowed to make unlawful border crossings. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convention_Relating_to_the_Sta...

"The contracting states shall not... impose penalties on refugees who entered illegally in search of asylum if they present themselves without delay (Article 31), which is commonly interpreted to mean that their unlawful entry and presence ought not to be prosecuted at all[18]"

>Where are the men willing to put in the hard work it takes to build man-positive spaces that talk about difficult subjects with men, and guide them through growing up into caring people?
Those types of spaces get shut down by governments/colleges at the behest of women.

See the male-only domestic violence shelters in Canada and the US. Or the story about the college that shut down the male mental health day, resulting in the suicide of at least one of its male students.

I'm not reading the rest of your absurd drivel. Men make up the majority of suicide victims, homeless, and violence. They get fewer scholarships and fewer government handouts, because those things typically only go to women on the basis of them being female.

The pay gap doesn't exist, it is explained entirely by men choosing to work longer hours.

I'm sorry you can't understand any of this and that reality bothers you, but that's your problem and not anyone else's.
