Elon wants this for the same reason he will inevitably use his role in the Trump administration to dismantle union protections; he prefers a cheap, easily cowed workforce that he can use and then throw away as needed. Trump shares this mindset and so do his donors. It is true that we get some very qualified people through this program, but that is mostly a happy accident that serves to provide cover for supporting it. The vast majority of the time the visa holders are no more qualified than native applicants, and instead are simply cheaper and easier to exploit labor.

Apple seems to be willing to spend money on this kinda stuff. But the reason why they do this is because it allows them to differentiate their offering from the others, with privacy being part of the "luxury package", so to speak. That is - their incentive to do so is tied to it not being the norm.
Again, it doesn't matter if one person owns 1000 houses or 500 people own two and rent one of them. The incentive system is to increase the shortage, and without addressing that incentive then the population of homeowners (most of the electorate) will not support increased development.
How can I implement this?

Thanks!
It's somewhat tiring to not have loose ends, but I agree it pays off :)

Doing this stuff in Rust is absolutely possible, and I'd do it again since my C++ days are now past me, but the endless transmuting between portable-simd types, plain rust arrays, and intrinsic types is quite annoying.

Also rust is not made for convenient raw pointer arithmetic. There plain C would be much more to the point.
When Gemini had its 'identity crisis,' mostly in 2023 (whatever they called it back then), it looked like a pre-training phenomenon, explainable by mentions in the available corpus. The consistency here, and exact and persistent match to how ChatGPT would answer identical queries, suggest training on Q&A pairs from ChatGPT transcripts, presumably at the post-training stage.
It took them many months to get it on Android. It was wildly successful initially, and then it took many months to reach phones and missed much of the hype cycle. So I think it took them a lot of effort to port.

If you think anything Elon Musk has would even come close to holding a candle to a W88, you’re out of your mind.
An interesting coincidence is that the first fabless semiconductor company, Chips and Technologies, was also founded in 1985, by Dado Banatao and Gordon Campbell. They didn't partner with TSMC but contracted with companies like Hitachi that had excess fab capacity to manufacture their semiconductors. Wild. They eventually sold the company to Intel, which obviously didn't appreciate the insight of de-verticalization in the semiconductor supply chain.
It's usually the other way around - first countries introduce laws that require ID to buy a cell phone ("because criminals"), and then the phone number starts getting used as a de facto identity.

I momentarily used Darktable, and IIRC there were fewer bugs. Performance was about the same for image processing. I guess these things will come out in the wash as Ansel is developed (although maybe very slowly because of the whole 1 man thing).
I suspect like 9/10 of these type of articles are really just meant to be PR for rust. Like someone that wants to write Bart Simpsonensque "rust is great" over and over, but have to hide it into something more interesting.

The hard part is making all the other people you need to regularly talk to use Signal.
Yeah, I don't think python is the right tool here. C++ definitely would be an option though.

Urbit is all that, but it's way stranger than that.
Yup, as I have found out over the last 5 hours. I managed to get a handshake but it's nowhere near the convenience of something like WebSockets. The security circus you have to go through to get even a handshake working is absolutely absurd, all sorts of extremely poorly documented certificate requirements and you'll be lucky to get an error message that helps you in any way. I'm getting ready to give up for the day, I will definitely make a top level HN post if I get a solution working and documented.

Meanwhile https://github.com/achingbrain/webtransport-echo-server this is the best we have for a minimal working node example.
It's a full-blown game engine and you can do A LOT with it. I've created several js games with it and it never let me down. I've never tried using it with ts, but it should be even better.

I recently looked at the syllabus of a course by my alma matar targeted at the same audience of ambitious first-year mathematics students with an emphasis on rigor. It is quite different from Hardy's book and the changes are, I think, for the better. Mostly, it introduces a lot more discrete mathematics, with a little bit of even graph theory and a little bit of enumerative combinatorics (generating functions and the like). In contrast this book is mostly focused on calculus and analysis, which are already separate courses. Freshman students should be exposed to a wider variety of topics in college-level mathematics and not just harder versions of what they already studied in high school.
The meat of the argument of the post was a restatement of the past three posts that I've made. I did lead with the argument, in somewhat less detail.

From the link you read, they have a notion of membership with admission criteria and announced partnerships with European and Russian groups. They seem to at least consider themselves as a kind of organization.

Rust is now common enough in the industry that everyone should be expected to at least read it, just like every programmer should be able to fizzbuzz in Python and JavaScript just as a matter of general technical literacy. There's no advanced Rust here and no concepts specific to the language.

It's a good article.

If Heinlein were in our industry, he might write this:

A programmer should be able to write a shell, parse binary data, design a protocol (and reverse engineer one too), authenticate a password, not fumble multi-code-point graphemes, wrangle semaphores, plug memory leaks, compress data, migrate databases, automate builds, git rebase a tree, profile tail latency, write a simple design doc for a complex system, draw a triangle, multiply tensors, and do fizzbuzz in every popular language on GitHub. Specialization is for insects.
No you don't need UDP to make a game, but for the sorts of games that I enjoy playing you need UDP.
C would be useful to the broadest audience. C++ programmers can read C while C programmers cannot always read C++, especially when the newer language constructs are used. I mentioned Python because of its popularity.

Interesting, the Algorithmica article the author cited is in C:

The problem with pseudocode is that it's completely underspecified. And how would I ever write intrinsics in pseudocode? Much easier to do a proper language directly so people can actually Google things and read their official documentation.
No, you didn't, you led with this:

This isn't science communication, it's a condescending rebuke.

That said, I'm done here. Thanks for clarifying in the end, and happy new year!
Do you think this article was written specifically as just PR for Rust?

Who do you think is behind this? The government?
Forth is not a convenient VM to target for C compilers because of its numerous idiosyncrasies (e.g. the stacks don't neatly map to what a typical naive C implementation would expect).

I'm perpetually confused on that front - interior, especially drywall, is stupid labor and time intensive (have to wait for taped joints to dry). There should be huge econmomies of scale for prefab walls with electric and ducting built in, yet all we see is this sort of 3d printing stuff.
I'm just here to say thanks, as I'm not above taking credit for creating our neighborhood in Minecraft for my 8yo. There's nothing in the GPL that prohibits creating false heroes AFAIK.

Are there new techniques behind this, or is this the same style transfer techniques that were popular a number of years back?

C++ not C. The author explains his choices elsewhere in the site.
In many cases I have no frame of reference for the expected code, like React and css. Typescript is perfectly readable, but I’m not really a script kiddie, so I’d go very slow on the React tsx files. The services are probably a slightly faster set of work, especially if I always have unit tests.

If someone was an expert React+TypeScript programmer with decent css knowledge the productivity may be a marginal improvement.

But I haven’t been a full-time programmer in ten years.
No, it's not an option in the game. Judging from comments around the interweb, there are a number of good choices that aren't represented.
High explosives are basically legal in the US, depending on State law, to a degree that I think would surprise most people. I've been to local retail depots where you could literally buy high-explosives by the ton from a pretty large menu, cash and carry. And explosives are dirt cheap, it is bulk industrial chemistry. The only real requirement was that you have a vehicle with the standard hazard placards and the surface of the storage area in the vehicle is non-sparking material.

A short-barreled rifle, on the other hand, it is strictly forbidden without an appropriate Federal tax stamp.

One of the reasons that high-explosives are widely legal is that they have several common applications for individual use. Despite the availability and consumption of high-explosives in the US, misuse has been very rare in practice.
This piece is basically set up to fail. It's historical, based on math, and doesn't venture towards any drama or stakes. I can easily imagine it being a farticle on a third-rate SEO webzine.

So why does it work okay as a New Yorker piece? How is their writing consistently good?

I think their secret sauce is the (implied) perspective. The impression that the author has a unique, complete, accurate take on the subject, and is letting you in on it piece by piece, in a meandering way.

I first tried AVP in May and it was amazing! I was really frustrated by the price tag and so I ended up returning it. Fast forward to October and I found AVP for $3,000! I bought it and have never been happier. I use it every day for programming. The new visionOS that added the support for ultra-wide screen is insane! It keeps me in the flow and makes me more productive.

Great stuff. We get told O notation is what matters for data structures / algorithms, but improvements low level with memory and storage with things like rust is much more where improves can be made. These types of tricks for anctual run times are so valuable, and interesting to follow.

Counterpoint : your message is not synthetic data and will contribute to lots of LLMs saying the same.

Here is a list of languages people can be generally expected to be able to read:

* C
* C++
* Java
* JavaScript
* Python

It is the top 6 of the TIOBE index, minus C#:

https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/

Rust is not very high on the TIOBE index. It has rank 14 with a 1.29% rating. That is not much higher than COBOL.
That's unrealistic given that the author is not just doing computer science but also engineering using SIMD. The kind of available SIMD instructions actually affects code choice.
Sounds like something very fixable though. Why is it so difficult for apple to fix the "engineering mistake" and move the PWA process to a less privileged user or even a jail?
Still a net negative.
Or… yknow… I could just write the code…

Instead of going through a multi step process to get an LLM to generate it, review it, reject it, and repeat…

I wonder why you reply to these comments, but not my other asking what you use LLMs for and specifically explaining how they failed me.
This was my argument a long time ago. The common counter was that we’d have a bunch of geniuses that knew tons of research. Well, we probably already have millions of geniuses. If anything, they use their brains for self-enrichment (eg money, entertainment) or on a huge assortment of topics. If all the human geniuses didn’t do it, then why would the AGI instances do it?

We also have people brilliant enough to maybe solve the AGI problem or cause our extinction. Some are amoral. Many mechanisms pushed human intelligences in other directions. They probably will for our AGI’s assuming we even give them all the power unchecked. Why are they so worried the intelligent agents will not likewise be misdirected or restrained?

What smart, resourceful humans have done (and not done) is a good, starting point for what AGI would do. At best, they’ll probably help optimize some chips and LLM runtimes. Patent minefields with sub-28nm design, especially mask-making, will keep unit volumes of true AGI’s much lower at higher prices than systems driven by low-paid workers with some automation.
Half price is an insane difference, but there are also minor design choices that kept people from the original.

The digital eye screen, the way windows stay static in reality by default, the limitations on apps, the straps were bad for long duration, etc.

The change is a good one, and there's still abilities that differentiate species, so dwarves still have toughness, and a bunch of other abilities.

Previously a Dwarven wizard was just a really bad choice, and you'd be noticeably less powerful than say an Elven wizard so no-one ever played one.

Now an Elven Wizard for instance has a few bits and pieces that might make them a bit better, but still leave a Dwarven Wizard as a viable choice.

This makes the game far more interesting in every way: players have more interesting builds, more character choices, and can play whatever combinations that they want.
It was true. I developed iPhone OS web apps during that time.
$5 * 3 models per day=$15 a day

I don't care much for the concept of AGI since it's ill defined.

However, out of distribution generation and generalization are a better more useful metric. In these Yann Lecun has argued that interpolation is meaningless in the high dimensional spaces these "curves" are embedded in.(https://arxiv.org/abs/2110.09485)

ARC has proven they can generalize, and Alpha Go (not an llm but a deep network) has proven it can generate novel/creative solutions. We don't need AI to have a sense of self "I" for them to beat us at every human skill and activity. Infact it might be detrimental and not useful for us if AI developed a sense of self.
Yes! In the time it would take to organize a question in a form that won’t be downvoted/closed on StackOverflow you can ask a whole series of LLM questions and learn quite a bit.
I suppose, but I'm shocked that the numbers still come out ahead. Energy cost is way more intensive, and if everyone knows that it's Dead Internet and less and less reaches real consumers, why would anyone buy in?
> Stuff like having no bounds checks is almost entirely irrelevant outside of compute kernels. It doesn't get you much performance, because the branches are perfectly predictable. It merely reduces code size.

This is just not true, or languages with bounds checks wouldn't invest so much in bounds checks elimination (both automatically, in the compiler, and by programmers, leaving hints to the compiler so it can remove bounds checks).

The code snippets should be accepted by a C compiler and therefore are valid C code.
Ohh yeah, don't get me started in big-O...

It was great while computers were not really a thing yet, but these days it's often so meaningless. We see papers with 2x speedup with a lot of novel algorithmic stuff that sell better than 10x speedup just by exploiting CPUs to the fullest.

Even myself I kinda think theoretical contributions are cooler, and we really need to get rid of that (slightly exaggerating).
this is such old news ;-) (in North Queensland atm, New years was nearly 10 hours ago :-P )
What a weird thing to complain about. The Rust code in TFA are purely arithmetic and imperative function calls. Any C developer that is good enough to care about the algorithm mentioned will have no issue reading such Rust code, heck, they could even throw the code to chatgpt to translate for them no problem.

Such a good and detailed article that packed with techniques that are applicable everywhere yet the complaints are: “but rust”.

Regarding Python, how could such optimizations be implemented in Python? Generating LLVM bytecodes directly aside.
I have a far easier time reading Rust than C. Probably because it’s been years since I’ve had to do C, and I find some of the syntax and patterns quite C-specific and confusing. Python also does not express some of the important implementation details well enough in its standard syntax IMO: there’s no obvious delineation between references and pass by value in Python, borrowing, etc.

So realistically, this is just the other half of the coin for all the articles where the code examples were written in C and everyone who didn’t really read C just had to put up with it.
Make that population of 3. I'm not a fan either. But I'm also realistic. I treat the phone as what it is: malicious spyware. But I realize that most people want the convenience and the safety (of sorts) of dialing 911 and getting the right dispatch..
> Mark Zuckerberg's tech behemoth Meta seems less and less interested in the social aspects of social media

Why would they ever be interested in any "social" aspects at all? Meta is a vile company bent only on maximizing scrolling addiction. Including social elements is just one convenient way to do so. None of these big tech companies would hesitate to even exterminate all of humanity, if they had the means to do so and get away with it.
The TIOBE index suggests that you are in a much smaller group than those who have difficulty reading Rust:
