Same. I am doing rust + clojure this year. Very interested in performance hax, esp around SIMD. I know absolutely nothing at all about rust, this is my first time working with it.

My day 1 rust solution:

It wasn't obvious for the people who used them. And that's the point.
Yep. They demo great, but unless your use case is on the trivial end, you either find yourself making unreasonable compromises or, if the tool provides API escapes, you’re not only coding, but hacking against the tool.

In my view, mainstream languages like Java should offer static metaprogramming for library authors to make tooling like Rails possible and more approachable in IDEs.

The manifold project[1] has something like this for SQL, but it’s obviously providing its own static metaprogramming layer over Java. Shrug.

Can you say more? If "0 is not an allowable value for b", then it seems to me that (a/b)*b=a isn't true for all values. Specifically, it's false when b=0.

IIUC, codeflo is arguing that the division operation defined in the article isn't "actual division" because (a/b)*b=a isn't true for all values. But I can't think of a definition of division that satisfies that criteria.

> since LLM assisted coding became the norm.

Has it? I don't think many here would agree it is the new norm

> better control over the output

LLMs are notorious for inconsistent output. Deterministic code gen is predictable. The control of a SaaS style low-code project may be limited, some offer to eject the codebase for you. There are numerous open frameworks, like Rails, where you have full control. It's about how you define control. Using a magic box like an LLM to generate code inconsistently comes with a lot of headaches. Why not choose the predictable magic box like Rails?

I think that's too short. Lifetime of the author or a min. 50 years would make sense to me. Mark Twain, for example, was worried about providing for surviving daughters. I think that's reasonable.

The very worst that would happen is that you make someone's training run slightly less efficient. If your data is truly random garbage, the model won't be able to make any predictions about it and thus it will not distort performance. All training data is noisy to an extent, and you've just fed it pure noise.

However, it has become clear that effective LLM training is in large matter a matter of careful curation of high quality training data. Random gibberish is trivially detectable, by LLMs themselves if nothing else, so it's unlikely that your "honeypot" will ever make it into someone's training run.

Even if you carefully crafted some more subtle poison data, it would still form only a small amount of the training set. The worst case scenario is most likely that the LLM learns to recognize your particular style of poison, and will happily recreate it if prompted appropriately (while otherwise remaining unaffected); more likely, your poison data is simply swamped.
The article clearly indicates the funding milestones and dates.
CDE really sucked compared to VUE that came before it (though which was only on HPUX)
Take my answer for what it’s worth, never played the game although I am curious because of all the people calling it a scam and take a look on YouTube once every few month.

It looks like a game in alpha, very very buggy, very little content. I am amazed at the time it takes them to add stuff, with a budget of 65 million things should have been going steadily but every time there is an update they promise not much to start with and even then always cancel things.

Personally I am absolutely convinced it’s a scam, they have to improve the game for legal reason but do the bare minimum and focus more on adding new ship they can sell than actual gameplay feature.

Crowdfunding passed $150 million in 2017, and $300 million in 2020, $500 million in 2022. $750 million is believable.

I'm really surprised that they are still raising money this fast. I would have thought people lost interest. Most of the discussions online are negative. There was fans buying ships, but I can't see that generating that much money.
I think that's still too long when copyright was originally supposed to be a compromise between society and the author, not a indefinite guarantee for an author. I understand the concern of providing for family, but keep in mind that the average person works continuously to provide for their family and has to be responsible enough to save money. It is not society's responsibility to ensure that; and alternatively if it is to be society's responsibility, there are better mechanisms than copyright.
>I believe the reason one waitress would sell every last Paris-Brest and the other would sell every last Napoleon was because they told the guests in the restaurant what they wanted to eat for desert. They made the decision for the guests.

This wouldn't surprise me at all, honestly. I've rarely gone to fancy restaraunts, but when I have, I generally explain to the wait staff what kind of thing I prefer, and then ask them for their advice and just trust it 100%. The way I see it, if they are competent enough to work at a high-end restaraunt, they know what to bring out to get a nice tip.

Side-note: I'm currently watching through the HBO Show "Succession". If you've seen it, (without revealing any personal details) any insight on whether or not the ultra-rich are in anyway similar to how they are portrayed on shows like that? I tend to think that there are probably a mix of good and bad out there, just like any other economic "class" of people, I've just never interacted with people who own literal mega-yachts before, so it's all assumption on my part. I'll also understand if you choose not to say. I'm just trying to get a general feel of what people in that economic group are like in-person. Are they difficult to deal with? Backstab-y? Petty and childish? Genuinely nice and pleasant to be around? Or just kind of chill, but very business minded and self-motivated?
"Set once and only once" is achieved well via Rust's OnceLock [1], and it's a pattern I use quite heavily in my Rust code. Especially because OnceLock only requires a shared reference and not a mutable one. It's a really good fit for cached results computed on-demand, scoped to whatever level is reasonable (individual type, thread, or whole process).

I'd say "by itself".
I was a college math major. Category theory wasn't one of the offered courses at my college, so I didn't study it specifically. But I didn't get through any of my math classes without working the problems and proofs, and without having a teacher to help guide me through the material. It can't be read like a book. At least that's my experience.

And as I get older, being interested in the topic helps more and more.
Show HN: Shmoney AI – AI Financial Analyst
I built Shmoney AI, which has an AI Financial Analyst Agent and an AI Financial Chat Agent.

They are powered by LlamaIndex Workflows with LLMs from OpenAI, financial data from Alpha Vantage and web research from Tavily AI.

You can use the app for free by providing your own API keys.

The Financial Analyst Agent conducts ticker analysis and provides a rating from 0 to 80. It performs Industry Analysis, Financials Analysis, Sentiment Analysis, and Technical Analysis simultaneously, generating a report. The report also includes the raw data used by the agent to create it.

The Financial Chat Agent answers your queries like ChatGPT but is enhanced with the latest financial data from Alpha Vantage.

I think the chinese room thought experiment is another stronger exploration of whether or not computers are conscious (and, I believe, is no longer sufficient). I think people into AI should at least be familiar with its implications (or lack thereof) about human cognition.

I completely agree with you—the large exodus from Twitter means that both sites have the Twitter feel, so people can choose. My point about decentralization is that it imposes some weird technical limits on Bluesky for reasons that the normal users it is now attracting have zero interest in. For example, the list of who you block is public, and you can't quietly make someone stop following you by quickly blocking and unblocking them.

I'm sure there are additional limitations, too. All of these stem from highly religious architectural choices that are of no interest to 99% of the current user base, who just want pre-Musk Twitter back. The obvious endpoint is what happened to email—there will be one central provider who can set arbitrary policy, and the decentralization part will just linger on as a series of annoying hoops that developers have to jump through to work with the de facto centralized site.
It depends on your purpose. If you’re an American who wants to make movies for Americans, that are derivative of one of these works, this matters a lot.

We can talk about that when every roof is full of solar with batteries to match, 90% of cars are electric, heating efficiency is 4xed with heatpumps, abandoned oil wells are capped so they stop emitting a hugely powerful greenhouse gas, a simple dietary change in livestock reduces their methane emissions by 90%.

All these things are quick and cost-effective. We can talk about hard after we do the easy and cheap stuff.
There's not a lot of transparency around their funding - and the only indication that they've raised $700+ million is... their own website.

They also claim around 5 million backers which puts the average donation at around 150 dollars. That seems really high.

From the wikipedia article, the next highest game is Prison Architect at a comparatively paltry 20 million.

It's still possible. On the other hand, it could all be completely PR bull crap since there's no way to audit them.
Ah, my bad. I think I saw that in one of the results but went off on some other route because I was focused on "horror" stuff. Thanks. :)

That's not good in all cases as in some jurisdictions it means that any use is forbidden...
I'm going to designate this as the obligatory "copyright is far too long" subthread.

In my opinion, the ideal length (if we are to have copyright) is between 10 and 15 years, at least if a work is already monetarily successful. If a work has yet to be monetarily successful, then we can allow up to 25 years for it in particular.

That's another valid translation for the same preposition.

And there are many definitions of English "for" as well. This would fit the one used in the phrase "if not for this, ..." In other words, for itself = by virtue of itself, through the existence of itself.

Also note in terms of Indo European roots, per is a cognate with English for.

Holy duck. That can’t be true, it said 65 millions on the website but I must have read it wrong.

10 years of development, 750 millions budget and people are still not convinced it’s a scam ? They want it so much, damn.
They have to file accurate statements with the UK government re some R&D tax incentives they claim; you can have a look at those filings on companies house. They lag the website but broadly align.

+ the $750m only includes ship sales. If you include other revenue (subscriptions) and investors, they are likely at $900m+ now.

Something going into the public domain in one country doesn't mean that it automatically enters the public domain in every country. It may make it easier to find a free copy on the internet, but it is still often under copyright in other countries.

I’m not going to comment on the plausibility of the scenarios, but I will observe that geopolitically this plays out just like the climate crisis:

There’s a global resource that needs to be managed.

Some countries have a bigger slice than others.

There’s an unhealthy dynamic where the ones with the smaller slice want a bigger slice, but not only do those with a bigger slice not want to give anything up, they point to the ones with the smaller slice growing their share and use it to justify continuing to expand.

Not helped by the fact that many of the parties involved would rather wage war on another if we didn’t all have nukes.

I don't get it either, particularly as most advent challenges can be solved using just iso c and its standard library.
UX for control from multiple places is just really hard:

* How do you know what you have control of

* How do you take/give control

* When you release control, does the other guy's input instantly take over?

* Or does it only take effect when the other guy makes a change something?

* Do you need to be able to see the specific inputs the other guy is giving?

* Do you need to see the actual outputs if the result is actually some merged combination of inputs?

* Under what circumstances should the computer skip scheduled automated tasks due to manual action being taken(See the Gare de Lyon rail disaster)

* Do users need to know about the presence of absence of an automated control input that could, but has not yet taken effect?

* Does anything special need to happen when nobody at all is controlling it?

In home automation, the usual solution is basically just a mutable global, anything can change it, when you're not actively changing it, leave it alone so someone else can... But if you need more than that it gets complicated in a hurry.
I share this experience.

Perhaps another way of asking the question is: Are there any results, either about individual programs or in PL theory as a whole, that were made simpler / clarified / generalized because of category theoretic insights?

The length should be no more than would be required to maximize the creation of works and not a moment longer.

Long terms prevent the creation of derivative works which at an extreme could be reducing the number of works created as well as disincentivizing creators from creating new works if they've been especially successful early in their careers and decided to coast.
If the serialized one is in the public domain and a book isn't, then your work might be seen as derivative of the book anyway.

For instance the recent Wicked movie (and book, and play, etc) can't use ruby red slippers, because that was a detail only in the relativley more recent movie, so even though the original wizard of oz book has been in the public domain a while, some details are siloed off. I think the Holmes stories had disputes like this for a while too, where if you mentioned certain side characters it might infringe a more recent adaptation or etc.
"Highway of Death" is a rather generic phrase and people from many conflict zones around the world can probably point at some local bloody "Highway of Death" event.

How about the one in this article?
Yes, but that doesn't do the job that a fsck implementation does. fsck is something you stuff into your initrd to do some quick checks/repairs prior to mounting, but btrfs intentionally doesn't need those.

If you need btrfs-check, you have probably hit either a catastrophic bug or hardware failure. This is not the same as fsck for some other filesystems. However, ZFS is designed the same way and also has no fsck utility.

So whatever point was intended to be made was not, in any case.
Well I want to be like Sam and he seems to know a lot of things so I figure I should learn more until I am as smart as him
It's definitely not a scam, just a highly ambitious project that spends more time on mechanics and infrastructure than content.

The ships by themselves are works of art. And their main funding apparatus, so of course the put an inordinate amount of effort towards this.

The bugs are definitely a problem, though they are migrating the entire infrastructure at the moment into a highly available cluster that is intended to keep all players on a single persistent universe like Eve online.

The combat is pretty good, but much of the game breaks down because of poorly performing code/servers.

I think their current clusters accumulate a lot leaks that eventually degrade the experience.

I'd honestly be very curious what their internal architecture looks like in more detail.
> Mark Twain, for example, was worried about providing for surviving daughters. I think that's reasonable.

I don't think it's reasonable to expect to be able to continue to make money after you are dead. Earn enough during your lifetime to provide for your surviving daughters, sure, but I don't like the idea of someone being able to posthumously put a gag on people's ability to express themselves just so that their kids can get a nice inheritance.
Eh, smitty could be irritating because it persisted some changes but not others. So it was unclear if things you did outside it would get undone at boot time.
I funded this back on kickstarter when I was still in high school. I remember the excitement that came with every $1mil milestone, it really felt like an incredible movement that was going to produce something really special. I haven't been able to follow progress closely over the past decade, but the gameplay demos have been fun and there always seems to be a decent amount of progress so at this point I think I'm content waiting.
I think I agree with what you’re saying - adding systems on top of something that doesn’t need it isn’t worth it. I agree; however, some folks can’t “just” follow their natural tiredness to manage their sleep.
