How are you operationalizing "maturity", and what data supports your conclusion of ages for reaching this maturity? Typically studies of brain myelination, which is often used as marker for "maturity", show a linear progression until about 30 without a significant difference across sex or gender. However, they are usually quick to point out that myelination does not necessarily equal cognitive, emotional, and social maturity.

Phones in this class will freeze every other time they're receiving a call, so they're hardly suitable for even that.

In my eyes, these phones should be labeled as not suitable for advertised use and shouldn't be allowed to be sold in civilized world, as to protect the poorest from psychological damage they can cause.

It sounds like you actually work for a living and aim to conduct your business professionally, which is probably why you don't understand all these people who aren't doing either of those things.

I don't know man, I feel like the entire planet has gone mad over the course of about 15 years. Who am I supposed to root for? The executives who throw public tantrums and behave like children? Or the activists who try to turn the company into a vehicle for whatever the latest left wing cause is?

How about someone in that organization gets back to actually building some good fucking software? Is there a connection between all the horsing around these people do and the fact that after 5+ years of development Gutenberg is still kind of a pile of crap? I feel like not so long ago in history it would have been obvious to everyone that the answer is yes, work is about actually working and producing things. But now everybody's primary job is apparently to wail on Twitter instead of putting butt in seat for 8 hours a day, writing code, and on a good day, maybe figuring out how to get a little better at it. Idk man. Whatever this world is I don't really want any part of it anymore, I want to switch to the sane timeline.
Your question rephrased: "Can EMAIL handle 100 million daily users?".

The answer is yes.

NOSTR is similar to emails. They depend on nostr/email providers and aren't depending on any single of them, what exists is a common agreement (protocol). The overwhelming majority of those providers are free and you can also run your own from the cellphone.

Some providers might become commercial like gmail, still many others will still provide access for free. Email is doing just fine nowadays, NOSTR will do fine as well.
Right. That's a shame, but it seems like that's just life. The idea that it helps to constantly emphasise (or, as you say, exaggerate) the importance of your work if you want to have a career is certainly not restricted to academia. It seems to apply to most industry engineering jobs too — from what I've heard. I guess in that context funding isn't the issue, but being promoted (and, conversely, not being sacked) certainly is.
The highly specific cases are glaring examples that the unbiased meritocracy they pretend to be is, possibly, not so.

And the "large numbers of students" covers up the possible cronyism and/or corruption of the institution.

I provide an example of a totally unqualified individual being allowed into a prestigious institution solely on the basis of his marriage family. Your response is that they mostly do a good job for most people?

I've suggested that the research they do is not obviously beneficial to anyone except perhaps the person doing the research, possibly simply to advance their own careers (in or out of academia). Others have suggested the same.

You haven't disagreed.
I generally agree with you about the desired use for copyright, but what gives me pause is the scale at which training AI models uses copyrighted material. I’m not sure there’s a precedent in the past to compare it to. And the result, despite many years and billions of dollars worth of work, is something that can’t even reliably reference or summarize the material it’s trained on.
Hey, I'm Asger.
I've tried starting many businesses, building dicipline and learning new things in the past, but always seemed to give up.
So I built an app to achieve more and give up less.
I agree with you at this time, but there are a couple things I think will change this:

1. Agentic search can allow the model to identify what context is needed and retrieve the needed information (internally or externally through APIs or search)

2. I received an offer from OpenAI to give me free credits if I shared my API data with it, in other words, it is paying for industry specific data as they are probably fine tuning niche models.

There could be some exceptions to UI/UX going down specific verticals but eventually these fine tuning sector specific instances value will erode over time but this will likely occupy a niche since enterprise wants maximum configuration and more out of box solutions are oriented around SMEs.

I'm just starting to really dig into learning radio and what not, but if it's tuned to a band where AM modulation is the norm, then wouldn't it work? The transmitters that push the amplitude above the noise floor(or squelch) will produce an audible frequency simply but pushing enough power at the human-perceptible frequency?
I asked Claude to go through all paper names and estimate how many have code vs how many are proofs:

“Based on my analysis, I estimate:
- ~35-40 papers (roughly 35%) likely have significant accompanying code
- ~55-60 papers (roughly 65%) are primarily theoretical/mathematical proofs
“

I suspect even the remaining 35% doesn’t have much to do with programming languages, and I don’t think these stats change much for other conferences.
I didn’t use the word “some.” Please don’t misquote me.

I did a PhD and about a decade in postdoc/early-career researcher posts before moving into tech. That was in Computational Mathematics, it was clear that the most successful people in the field were the ones who had found areas where they could publish "Technique X applied to field Y" type papers, so for each new X they could get 10 publications (by way of 10 different PhD students). These people generally could steer the core funding in the discipline their way.

Everyone else basically had to reformulate their research to pretend it was applicable to the government's funding subject de jure. This led to some quite large stretches in definition to achieve "<Main area of research>, and some applications in <funding stream>". This very much felt like it was sucking up to money.

I got out of the academia in the end because it felt like the more senior I got the more time I spent applying for funding and managing the spending and the less time I spent doing research/development. (Also given I was in a UK public sector institute, the pay was shit due to 40 years of below inflation pay rises crippling the institution).

This is why I strongly suspect that AI will not play out the way the Web did (upstarts unseat giants) and will instead play out like smartphones (giants entrench and balloon).

If all that matters is what you can put into context, then AI really isn't a product in most cases. The people selling models are actually just selling compute, so that space will be owned by the big clouds. The people selling applications are actually just packaging data, so that space will be owned by the people who already have big data in their segment: the big players in each industry. All competitors at this point know how important data is, and they're not going to sell it to a startup when they could package it up themselves. And most companies will prefer to just use features provided by the B2B companies they already trust, not trust a brand new company with all the same data.

I fully expect that almost all of the AI wins will take the form of features embedded in existing products that already have the data (like GitHub with Copilot), not brand new startups who have to try to convince companies to give them all their data for the first time.

I cannot. I am simply paraphrasing the leading sentence:

"The people overseeing the security of Google’s Chrome browser explicitly forbid third-party extension developers from trying to manipulate how the browser extensions they submit are presented in the Chrome Web Store. "

I assumed that this explicit prohibition would be a "TOS". I could be wrong. Maybe it's somewhere else or called something else.
Agreed. To stretch the analogy, if I'm just replacing a fence panel or putting up a shelf then I'm not going to get an architect to create a blueprint. I'll know if it's right from the execution.

I sometimes work in areas where the error budget is essentially zero, with an element of concurrency, and for those there is a design stage before the build stage. I could see the value of formal methods there. At least I could execute a model with a model checker, which makes it one step closer to the code than a design doc or RFC.

Full disclosure: I haven't actually used formal methods myself, I've just been interested in the idea for a while and have done some reading on it.
I wrote a piece yesterday about the recent WordPress drama, including this bit. A fun thing I learned while digging into it is that Mullenweg himself requested that the Slack channel for this team be set up live on stage at WordCamp Europe in 2022. When disbanding the team, Mullenweg said, “today I learned that we have a sustainability team”. Maybe he forgot, but setting up this team was — at least in part — his idea.

Perl had this years before D even existed [1]. Given its earlier age and higher reach, it's likely that Perl did more to popularize the idea as well.

Controversial opinion: I don't believe in the bitter lesson. I just think that the current DNN+SGD approaches are just not that good at learning deep general expressive patterns. With less inductive bias the model memorizes a lot of scenarios and is able to emulate whatever real work scenario you are trying to make the model learn. However it fails to simulate this scenario well.
So it's kind of misleading to say that it's generally better to have less inductive bias. That is only true if your model architecture and optimization approach are just a bit crap.

My second controversial point regarding AI research and startups: doing research sucks. It's risky business. You are not guaranteed success. If you make it, your competitors will be hot on your tail and you will have to keep improving all the time. I personally would rather leave the model building to someone else and focus more on building products with the available models. There are exceptions like finetuning for your specific product or training bespoke models for very specific tasks at hand.

> 6. Multithreading: Base language support is already pretty good, and there's OhMyThreads.jl [1] and data chunking libraries and many other supporting libraries around multithreading.

Agree on the rest, but multithreading in Julia is a let down.

The manual (https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/manual/parallel-computing/) claims it's composable, but that's only true if you stay within Julia with the paradigm of Tasks. As soon as you interface with C/C++, you get a SegFault, as the Julia runtime expects to adopt [1] all threads calling into it. This is not always viable.

Julia should offer the option of C-style pthreads (or the Windows equivalent) and let others build abstractions on top of them.

[1] And that option was only added recently.

This is basically how Smalltalks work. In addition to the application, an image will generally include a development environment and all the sources to your application. I think Lisp machine Lisps were a lot closer to this too.
Someone needs to write the other side of the story as a small startup owner having to deal with big businesses. It should feature:

- Beeing asked for demos when they could have tried your free tier/trial and you have decent doc (They always prefer that you waste your time then asking someone on thier side to review)

- Being used a price/feature comparison with your enterprise competitor just so they can get a better deal on their renewal (no stupid they never intended to change)

- Having to fill endless security questionnaire without being sure you can even sell to them (what you dont love filling 100+ questions at 11PM on a Friday???).

- Having to deal 3-6 months with procurement, often with one or two third party software resellers which only cares if he can make its margin (hello there CDW, no I wont lower my price 15% so you can make money)

- Receiving the money 60-90 days after the deal close while you struggle with cashflow and you had to provide the service (and receiving a call from my bank rep to see why my margin and CC is full).

I am sure I can think of more things. That is why I will absolutely charge an arm and leg to big businesses.
Well, if they last exactly two years, they're not even lying.

C (K&R) : 1972 => 53 years ago
C++ : 1985 => 40 years ago
D : 2001 => 23 years ago

Also, https://www.bell-labs.com/usr/dmr/www/chist.html

So D is 30 years younger than C, so I'd disagree with "isn't that much younger".

D was really a reaction to C++, not C, so it is with C++ that it should be compared. The C like subset of D (BetterC) is much more recent.

I agree the article presents good points specially if you consider current LLM models and the business models (and questionable business practices) being used.

It seems unlikely at this point, but it it might be the case that new methods, models and/or algorithms rise due to the trend of having high expectations/investments on this area

I didn't really understand what a "WP Sustainability Team" was, so I clicked the link to the linked website in this story. I was surprised that it was in fact an initiative to do things like "have a dashboard that shows the climate impact of publishing" and "promote static publishing over..." I assume because serving this content (under someone's model) uses less electricity?
