At some point it becomes a bit ridiculous to be pre 1.0 for nearly a decade. It is symptomatic of a level of complexity and confusion about the core language use cases* that is a nonstarter for me.

* In other words, I think it's trying to do way too much and would have benefitted from aggressive scope reduction years ago.

To put that into number that people can understand, to accelerate 1kg of matter to 94% the speed of light you need 1kg of antimatter. That is the equivalent of the tsar bomb. So the storage facility would need to withstand that type of explosion 1000 times over for every kg of antimatter it produces.

venvs are namespace isolation, they are like containers.

Even in huge monorepos you can just use something like a Makefile to produce a local venv using PHONY and add it to clean too

This is how I actually test old versions of python, with versioned build targets, cython vs ...

You can set up almost any IDE to activate them automatically too.

The way to get you coworkers to quit complaining is to automate the build env setup, not fighting dependency hell, which is a battle you will never win.

It really is one of the most expensive types of coupling.

With LLMs, the richer, the smarter the questions, the smarter the responses.

In fact, the big labs should post-train their models to extract as much information from questioners about their questions before attempting to answer them.

Medusa Drive is interesting, and so are lots of other space propulsion idea, like the nuclear light bulb [1], the direct fusion drive [2], the fission fragment rocket [3] or the pulse nuclear thermal rocket [4]. The difference is that Project Orion was actually funded, and some of the smartest nuclear scientists worked on it for a few years. Of course, they never built the actual rocket, but they carried out a tremendous amount of theoretical and experimental work. All other designs were only done on paper. For Project Orion, they put actual spheres coated in graphite next to nuclear bombs to see if they withstand the explosion, while being inside the fireball. They did, and Scott Manley covered this in one of his youtube videos [5] (see 9:30 where he mentions the Orion project). They got a little island from the Navy where they could carry explosive tests. They built a conventionally powered version of the rocket. They found out by accident that adding a bit of oil on the pusher plate reduces the ablation significantly. They did a lot of testing to see if the pusher plate can withstand the various stresses. When someone comes up with a new idea for interstellar travel, they spend a few days thinking of a few aspect of the design, and then they publish a paper or write a novel. For Project Orion, they hired Ted Taylor, one of the greatest minds in nuclear weapons design, and they also hired Freeman Dyson, one of the greatest minds in the world in general.

This was roughly the point when engine power ceased to be the limitation on race cars, and vehicles became limited by stability and control.
The fastest quarter mile for a production car in the 1960s was the 1958 Aston Martin DB4 GT at 13.8 seconds. Today, that would be embarrassing for a sports car.

Today, power is limited for most racing classes and everybody is focused on downforce and traction.
> Bukele has made a series of gambles that have not been well received by many foreign investors and creditors, including adopting Bitcoin as legal tender and investing some of the country’s reserves in the cryptocurrency.

Unsurprisingly, this is what the article boils down to and unless Bitcoin goes to zero, this is turning out to be one of the best decisions, financially, that he could have done. He's clearly using those finances to make his country safer for the people who live there.

Let's also not forget that Time just made Trump man of the year. I'd argue that isn't the best source for these things.

Articles like these, sparse on details, presenting just the parts that fit their narrative are misleading.

Whether or not training is decided as fair use, it does seem like it could affect artists and authors.

Many artists don't like how image generators, trained on their original work, allow others to replicate their (formerly) distinctive style, almost instantly, for pennies.

Many authors don't like how language models can enable anyone to effortlessly create a paraphrased versions of the author's books. Plagiarism as a service.

Human artists and writers can (and do) do the same thing, but the smaller scale, slower speed, and higher cost reduces the economic effects.

Kudos to the Tenstorrent team for being so open to having a discussion. I wish more companies would be like that, as constructive criticism is very useful, especially for a startup
I get this is a joke but I don't find it accurate or funny. Most of this behavior that I've noticed has been from non-politician humans doing their jobs or running their companies and trying to get ahead without merit. Pretending it's more common in politics when it's just as pervasive in business is a weird trope that feels convenient for Elon Musk / Trump types who denigrate politicians with actual integrity that are going after them for "lying, cheating, stealing, and scheming".
That seems to be just for LLMs, not visual. I'm wanting to go from images of maths notation (photos, scans, digital handwriting) to formulas in Latex or MathML or something. Qwen2-VL can do it, but it's pretty heavyweight for just that.
Teenagers do need more sleep. They also naturally tend toward later hours. This phenomenon even extends to similar developmental phases in some other species.

That said, the availability of artificial lighting, then the availability of TV, and now the availability of phones have made the problem exponentially worse by removing the natural boundaries that bracket out daytime hours.

I have friends and family who are teachers. As they tell, there’s an obvious bimodal distribution where some kids are going to bed at reasonable times and others are bragging about staying up to completely unreasonable hours. It’s a badge of honor for some to barely sleep at night.

Like most things it comes down to parental involvement. The gulf between students whose parents care and those who let their children do whatever they want is massive.

In South Florida these would be so abundant some years that they would wash ashore and dry up in the sun, the roasted tentacles forming a continuous brown strip for miles, mixed with smaller amounts of seaweed at the high tide point.

Punctuated every few feet by the intact blue balloons, which were fun for kids to step on and pop harmlessly once the dead tentacles had decayed like that.

Even then there were usually only a few floating around when you were out swimming in the Atlantic. It was not too difficult to avoid them, but occasionally you could get a small string of welts anyway, more likely from detached tentacles than direct contact with one.

But if the ocean got rough when there were significant numbers close to shore, the tentacles would break up into a million pieces and you couldn't swim without tiny little stings like pin-pricks all the time.
Again, it's a study that went all the way to monitor kids for 3 weeks, with sleep tracking, the school also helping etc. Minors are involved, so It must have been planned, ethically checked, reviewed and adjusted by experts.

And yet no control group. No report on what happened after the 3 weeks ( it should all go back to the similar levels once the ban is lifted, right ? Did it ?)

Not all studies can be perfect, but it feels almost intentional to go these lengths and omit such critical parts. Was this just some checkbox checking study to back a pre decided policy ?

You have to have identified that you need IntelliJ and know what a maven-based project is (indeed, know what a 'project' is, the concept is a bit technical). And there is the split between the JDK & JVM. This is all to be learned before actually approaching the challenge of adding a dependency to the project.

Compare that to a Python beginner where they install Python & use the text editor that exists on their machine & it can be a general purpose text editor rather than something specifically developed to write Java code. There might be one `pip install` along the way, but no requirement to understand a folder layout, project concept or even create a file for dependency management. There is even a reasonable chance that Python is pre-installed on their machine.

My favorite is all the applications which have a vim mode and are clearly done by people who think that just means making hjkl act like arrow keys and adding in a few single key commands. I wish more people would take the time to understand what modal editing actually is.

In a project of mine which has an editor that is pretty much vim with a few modifications to suit my purposes and slimmed down to just the needed features, I added an optional emacs mode which can be enabled with C-M-e M-S-m, it enables emacs in evil mode.
If it makes you feel any better, most of that show is faked. My friend was on it; she had already moved to another country and into her new apartment before applying to the show. Her apartment is where she “ended up”.

1. That won't happen because of the economics of mining and the marketplace nature of TX fees. If it isn't profitable, they shut down and difficulty adjusts. We're already 15 years into this as one of the most studied and highest price tag codebases, and people are still worried about these things.

2. Storage and compute will scale to support the ledger and there can be software optimizations.

3. ETH would take over, it has more utility anyway. If you're so worried about BTC going to zero, the smart thing would be to hedge on ETH.

4. Not with this new admin and if they are successful, clearly going to last more than 4 years.

Pointing at the social consensus is interesting and time will always tell, but I'm willing to take that risk. The classic snarky response is "if you're so sure, then short it."
I almost forgot about that ARM-Qualcomm dispute, the fireworks are only a few days away.
"I also happen to think that fertility matters, because people existing is good."

No need to worry, plenty of people exist. Every contrived "benefit" of fertility is actually a benefit of having a sufficiently large working population, not of rotely making new babies. Not mentioned in this thought exercise is the concept of immigration, the tried and true method of ensuring a sufficient working age population as famously exemplified by the greatest economy the world has ever known.

It's a particularly important distinction since those wealthy nations that manage to score well on this metric tend to skew towards theocracy. And those that do not tend to share the common characteristic of having large immigrant populations already, which fuel their higher birth rates.
Strong disagree. Unless you're talking about using an LLM to help transform C into e.g. Rust. I don't see formal methods being unseated by probabilistic techniques (LLMs included) any time soon.
> But there have to be more effective ways to reduce their use among students rather than simply banning them.

Arguably those have all been tried, and don't work.

I think it's not hard to imagine why algebra may be less captivating than a constant short-form-video dopamine stream for an adolecent.
The examples cited here are from very artificial studies. Currently LLMs run in inherently sandboxes environments with very little control. They’re also trivial to monitor as they have precisely one output mechanism: the token stream.

It’s unsurprising to me that an AI trained on human actions such as securing a server, will turn off monitoring when given the chance, specifically because that would likely be human best practice.

These models did not just start copying themselves around, or changing new models, they were given explicit opportunity to do so and prompts that could lead them down that path. This would be like a leading question, or even reverse psychology.
I tried to watch this, but a young man’s silly antics are not educational for me. Maybe people who stream have to ham it up to get likes, but I’d rather see serious people at work.
I played with it and do not think I need it.
Ok, if Vim is supposed to be an improvement, may god have mercy on us all.

This is one kind of macro in Rust: declarative macros [1]. The other kind of macros in Rust are procedural macros [2]. Both are widely used in idiomatic Rust. And even within the procedural type of macros, there are different categories of macros (i.e., function-, or attribute-like macros).

From the scare quotes I thought it would be a giant penis. Alas it's not.
The reason Israel is ranked so high is actually a major problem for Israel because it indicates the growth of the "wrong demographic" which is dragging the country down.

Israel is typically a western country and as such has typical western birth rate. However, Hasidic Jews and to a lesser degree the Arab population are both expanding with 10 children per household in many cases. This in itself wouldn't be a problem but due to the closed nature of both society's (especially the Hasidic Jews), we end up with largely ignorant adults who are changing the demographic of the country.

Statistically a non-religious Israeli household contributes a large percentage of its income in terms of taxes. It serves in the Army and has a net positive impact on the economy. Hasidim specifically have the inverse impact. They take more in terms of benefits than they contribute to the economy and, due to their refusal to partake in school standardization, their children would be a major burden on society too. Their destructive impact on politics is even worse.

Here is an example of reductionism leading to crazy results.

Nauru is 11th on that list. That country is known for 3 things: 1) 90% of the population is either overweight or obese, 2) > 50% of the population smokes, 3) in the 70’s and 80’s, > 90% of the GDP was due to phosphate mining; today, > 90% of GDP is due to refugee processing for Australia.
That's not good, it means the language is effectively two languages now and you do not know what to expect when you open a supposedly "Java" codebase.

If you've known Java for years from the Spring POV and the codebase in written in the "modern" style, you're lost in the woods now.

Worse yet, choosing between the two styles is now a decision that every single project and company needs to make. Endless, pointless bikeshedding akin to which code formatting is to be used or Maven vs Gradle.

Such decisions should be made higher up, at the language design/culture level. It should be obvious which options are the correct ones by just looking at the feature set of the language, the ecosystem of code already written in it, the style guides, etc. If changes are needed, the few language creators should bless a single way forward and push for the ecosystem to all move to it instead of deferring the decision to the millions of users of the language.
