Its a cute idea but, why does a GC language need this? For shared mutable references across threads I get it for some data race conditions? Can it handle that with awareness of smart pointers, etc?

Honestly, I'd write Rust. Or write Julia. Whatever one you want.

Kudos on the project though, looks like it was fun to make. Who knows maybe it will evolve into something else that makes more sense to me?
> The terminology is universal

Is it? The US Department of Homeland Security defines "CSAM" as including generative AI images: https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/2024-04/24_0408_k2p_...

So does the FBI: https://www.ic3.gov/PSA/2024/PSA240329

You want to define the "CSAM" more narrowly, so as to exclude those images.

I'm not aware of any "official" definition, but arguably something hosted on a US federal government website is "more official" than the opinion of a HN commenter

-> General purpose humanoids become less spendy and do some general farm tasks in specialty or small scale situations
-> Humanoids are used to cheaply build and design better large scale automation for large farms
-> Humanoids at scale for a new more decentralized agriculture (magnificent gardens cause labor is free and vibes are great )

I asked your question across multiple LLMs and had them reviewed by multiple LLMs. DeepSeek Chat said Claude 3.5 Sonnet produced an invalid command. Here is my chat.

https://beta.gitsense.com/?chats=197c53ab-86e9-43d3-92dd-df8...

Scroll to the bottom on the left window to see that Claude acknowledges that the command that DeepSeek produced was accurate. In the right window, you'll find the conversation I had with DeepSeek chat about all the commands.

I then asked all the models again if the DeepSeek generated command was correct and they all said no. And when I asked them to compare all the "correct" commands, Sonnet and DeepSeek said Sonnet was the accurate one:

https://beta.gitsense.com//?chat=47183567-c1a6-4ad5-babb-9bb...

That command did not work but I got the impression that DeepSeek could probably get me a working solution, so after telling it the errors I keep getting, it got to a point where it could write a bash script for me to get 5 equally spaced frames.

I guess the long story short is, changing the prompt probably won't be enough and you will need to constantly shop around to see which LLM will most likely give the correct response based on the question you are asking.

A note on the Thompson sampling: classic TS is optimizing for regret, while the goal here is to identify the 'best arm' (ie. the actual secret value at that position - it's like a 0/1 loss). There is no partial credit in getting part of a password correct, it still won't work. So it's a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-armed_bandit#Best_Arm_Id...

You can tweak the Thompson sampling to handle best-arm, like https://www.escholar.manchester.ac.uk/api/datastream?publica... "Ordered-Statistic Thompson Sampling". I am not sure if the pseudocode TS presented by OP winds up doing the same thing.

While it's absolutely true that businesses need to make money, the idea that this must therefore logically conclude with a FLOSS and non-FLOSS version is not correct.

If you look at companies like Red Hat, and Nextcloud, neither of these companies sold proprietary versions of their software. Red Hat sold licensed versions of their software, but they were always FLOSS.

Nextcloud's CEO talks about how selling a proprietary version of your code is bad for your customers and puts your company into a Catch 22 with itself. "Do we add this feature to the 'Community' or 'Enterprise' version?" or worse "What do we do when someone makes a FLOSS plugin that competes or is better than our internal version of the same functionality?"

There's a huge need for a good chat system to compete with the likes of Slack, but Matrix has bitten me several times and I don't trust it. In an alternate universe, they could have made Matrix work well for all levels of users and then sold customization and B2B deals with their customers leveraging the community, which has always wanted Matrix to succeed.
Tying legal name to social media exacerbate toxicity too. People are more likely to double down on mistakes when their reputation is (perceived to be) at stake, and published legal identities are prone to abuses.
64kB was huge. The first version of UNIX needed 24kB (half of which was taken by the kernel).
"It's not exactly making me feel valued as a community member"

Neither is not getting paid for work/services. If one works hard on things and can't pay their bills, that's unsustainable. Why is developer time worth nothing to other developers? If you can write it and host it, do it. If you can't, and the folks that can charge for it, hand over your credit card so they can continue to do it. Or watch it die when they have to abandon it to make a living writing code for someone that will pay for it I guess.

No one owes us their time and effort for nothing.
Marginally related... has anyone ever ported the "typo" program to modern C?
No ok but then let's drop matrix completely as the "next-gen" IRC / FOSS collaboration platform.

There's a lot of moral support and ecosystem gain (eg bridges) from the community. Why bother with that anymore if we're just getting the "broken implementation"?

I think part of the issue here is that they're trying to compete with the enterprise IM solutions. That doesn't really work as the others are way better funded and have benefits that element can't deliver (such as the wide Microsoft M365 + EntraID ecosystem). A Microsoft shop is never ever going to choose this over teams (horrible as the latter is).

1. I can use it anywhere, and lots of features.

2. Almost never. Pretty much the only time I use pen and paper is writing a check or signing a receipt.

3. I'm not really sure what you're asking here (like others have said).

4. Breaking things down helps manage larger tasks.

5. a good bit, probably half.
It's sad, because I legit found my experience working with Google's "serverless" stuff (like Cloud Run) to be superior to the AWS equivalent. The GCP command line tools ("gcloud") also feel better designed.

Dissecting "Tiny Clouds" shadertoy (2017)
The way I’m thinking of it is that Synapse (not to mention Dendrite) has been badly starved of development over the last few years due to the freerider problem nuking the $ available to support our dev as the upstream.

By making only optimisations that primarily support massive servers proprietary (for now), the $ from Synapse Pro can hopefully then directly fund the features and maintenance of core FOSS Synapse, including core optimisation work which benefits everyone. Concrete examples include:

* State Res v3, which hopefully should have algorithmic improvements to perf

* State storage, addressing the long standing diskspace consumption problem for state snapshots

* Finishing faster room joins so they are actually fast

* Shared retry hints on federation, to stop wasting time trying to talk to dead servers

* Better than full mesh federation, so small servers can participate in big rooms without melting.

EDIT: to spell it out, as it’s been misunderstood: Fixing these issues will likely happen directly in FOSS Synapse (assuming there’s any $ to work on them at all).

Meanwhile, FOSS Synapse already has Rust as Python codepaths and has done for years, and that will only increase over time. Only stuff for making workers scale to handle hundreds of thousand concurrent users will remain proprietary for now.

Dendrite was meant to be the next big thing, but we (obviously) didn’t have enough $ to work on both it and Synapse. So we focused exclusively on Synapse as of end of Dec 2023, and Dendrite is currently progressing on a best-effort (ie not funded work) basis.

> It feels like element is often jumping on new things like big rewrites such as element X instead of improving the existing products.

Well, Dendrite was a big rewrite like that. Which is why we’ve ended up improving Synapse instead (both FOSS and the new rust workers).

Isn’t that true for most/all corporate FOSS projects? I don’t think there are many for-profit companies who have some kind of idealistic vision of FOSS. It’s always part of the business model. Would be weird otherwise.

I know it matters what percent humans can do. But specifically "that last fraction of a percent" is in comparison to 100, not to humans. The argument I was replying to was about perfection, and rejecting anything short of it. Comparing to humans is a much better idea, and removes the entire argument of "OCR literally can't be that good so the problem isn't solved".
It’s pretty wild how the incoming president has a social media platform, is backed (financially and otherwise) by the richest person in the world with his own social media platform and it’s (currently) absolute crickets in a thread like this where the same incoming president is creating a meme coin.

Maybe folks are just apathetic, but for a technology based forum to have little to no discussion about a topic that not only touches the basis of the forum but also the potential affects toward the country where this forum is based is pretty confounding.

I'm pretty sick of Element and Matrix at this point, and I'm pretty sure the enthusiasts are the only ones keeping Matrix relevant. This monetization scheme is not going to work. I think the Matrix experiment is coming to an end.

Matrix is an open protocol and is 100% open. Synapse is a server implementation of Matrix and is open source under AGPL.

Synapse Pro is some alternative new worker implementations for Synapse designed to let enormous deployments scale rather than run out of headroom. Those happen to be proprietary.

FOSS Synapse is still the same project, and the main “real” project, and is still FOSS, same as it ever was.
I like watching random sports on YouTube so saw this yesterday. I could only manage a minute, it was just bizarre. It did make me wonder how I could watch the Australia Open, but I wasn't willing to subscribe to ESPN to see it.

Not bad advertising really.
It can run in your browser too.The electron part isn't the bloat but the web part. Web devs keep using framework on top of frameworks and the bloat is endless. Lack of good native UX kits forces devs to use web-based kits. Qt has a nice idea with qml but aside from some limitations, it is mostly C++ (yes, pyqt,etc.. exist).

Native UI kits should be able to do better than web-based kits. But I suspect just as with the web, the problem is consistency. The one thing the web does right is deliver consistent UI experience across various hardware with less dev time. It all comes down to which method has least amounts of friction for devs? Large tech companies spent a lot of time and money in dev tooling for their web services, so web based approaches to solve problems inherently have to be taken for even trivial apps (not that teams is one).

Open source native UX kits that work consistently across platforms and languages would solve much of this. Unfortunately, the open source community is stuck on polishing gtk and qt.

Sure it seems harmless, but find some way to quantify things that doesn’t harm an operating studio’s ability to borrow money because a significant chunk of their IP would be valueless in bankruptcy etc.

It’s easy to call anything a victimless crime, coming up with reasonable objective criteria in the face of counter arguments is a little harder.
That’s great. I’m glad to own stock in a company that complies with what US environmentalists, who oppose nuclear and wind, implicitly support.
You are very confused and I really don't have the time to unwind all of this. A few scattered bullets:

* The Parma ruling was not that the government was allowed to detain him, it is that the police could not be punished for their mistake. The entire thing is predicated on the police having made a mistake, i.e. this case shows they cannot jail you for speech.

* Cohen vs Barr: the courts ruled that the government overstepped, i.e. the First Amendment offered the protection I am claiming it does, and you are wrong

* TikTok ban mechanics: The government will fine app stores and web hosts that serve TikTok. This is a clear violation of First Amendment rights. It is not a condition of the app store ToS's by any weird mechanism like the one you describe.

* We're not talking about preventing foreign speech. We're talking about preventing American companies from serving the websites, applications, and content they wish to serve.
FFS don't even mention these things together in a way he might hear about.
> TikTok is at an absolute minimum an order of magnitude more valuable than Perplexity, more likely two orders of magnitude

They don't need to buy TikTok, they need to buy out Bytedance.

If I had to structure it, I'd have Bytedance spin out TikTook to its U.S. shareholders and then arrange for Perplexity to buy enough of Bytedance's share that Bytedance holds a 49% (non-voting) interest.
