We are building a framework to run this tiny language model in the web so anyone can access private LLMs in their browser: https://github.com/sauravpanda/BrowserAI.

With just three lines of code, you can run Small LLM models inside the browser. We feel this unlocks a ton of potential for businesses so that they can introduce AI without fear of cost and can personalize the experience using AI.

Would love your thoughts and what we can do more or better!

> No one should ever use inheritance in any long-term production use case without some way of enforcing strict discipline, ensuring that calls can only go one way -- up or down, but not both. I don't know to what extent tooling to enforce this discipline exists.

Disagree with your first part. Inheritance used to express Subtyping is different from that used for Code-reuse and yet again different from that used for implementing Framework skeleton structure. You have to disambiguate them carefully when using it. See the article linked to by user "Fannon" here - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42789466

As for tooling, you have to enforce the contract using pre/post/inv clauses following Meyer's DbC and also explicit documentation.

Apple App Store Dropped Support for Anti Ad Fraud Specs
Apple App Store dropped support for app-ads.txt. I always suspected that app-ads.txt had not really caught on. Another step towards Apple's mobile ad monopoly, removing a tool for programmatic buyers can use to verify traffic on ad networks.
The distinction between "statements about X" and "statements about statements about X" doesn't resolve the contradiction here, because the original claim makes a universal assertion about all possible true statements about God. By its own terms, it must encompass both:

1. First-order statements about God

2. Second-order statements about statements about God

3. All higher-order statements as well

Put differently: The claim "Nothing true can be said about God from a posture of defense" is asserting that there exists no level at which defensive truth claims about God are valid. But this assertion itself constitutes a defensive truth claim about God—whether at first, second, or any other order.

The attempt to escape via orders of statements fails because the original statement's scope explicitly covers all truth claims regarding God, regardless of their logical level. If it didn't cover all levels, then it would no longer be claiming that "nothing true can be said"—it would instead be claiming "some things true can be said, just not first-order things," which is a fundamentally different claim than the original.

So by attempting to exempt itself based on being "meta-level," the statement has already conceded that some true things can be said about God from a posture of defense (namely, meta-level things)—which directly contradicts its own absolute claim that nothing true can be said.

This is why universal claims about the impossibility of certain types of statements are often self-defeating—they cannot consistently exempt themselves from their own scope without undermining their universality.

I think you fundamentally misunderstand what people use "slop" to describe.

> Most human made art is slop too.

I'm assuming you're using the term "slop" to describe low-quality, unpolished works, or works where the artist has been too ambitious with their skill level.

Let me put it this way:

Every piece of art that is made, is a series of decisions. The artist uses their lived experience, their tastes and their values to create something that's meaningful to them. Art doesn't need to have a high-level of technical expertise to be meaningful to others. It's fundamentally about communication from artists to their audience. To this point, I don't believe there's such a thing as "bad art" (all works have something to say about the artist!).

In contrast, when you prompt an image generator, you're handing over the majority of the decisions to the algorithm. You can put in your subject matter, poses, even add styles, but how much is really being communicated here? Undoubtedly it would require a high level of technical skill to render similarly by hand, but that's missing the forest for the trees- what is the image saying? There's a reason why most "good" AI-generated images generally have a lot of human curation and editing.

Here's an example of some "slop" from the AI Art Turing Test (https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/how-did-you-do-on-the-ai-ar...) from a while back: https://i.imgur.com/RAMFKP1.jpeg
There's definitely a high level of technical expertise that a human would require to paint something like this. But it's very clearly AI-generated. Can you figure out why?

As a side note, here's a human-made piece that I appreciate a lot. https://i.imgur.com/AZiiZj1.jpeg
The longer you explore it, the more the story unfolds, it's quite lovely. On the other hand, when I focus on the details in AI-generated works, there's not much else to see.

Personally I believe that all math is connected, and just different aspects of the same math, so there is only one, like a monotheistic God.
Indeed. But their is something surprising here, however. people like chomsky would present examples like this for decades as untracktable by any algorithm, and as a proof that language is a uniquely human thing. they went as far as to claim that humans have a special language organ, somewhere in their brain perhaps. turns out, a formula exists, it is just very very large.
It's not just Github, Gitlab uses the same mess of YAML-programming with custom extensions. So do, I believe, many other systems.

Ironically, Jenkins does this one correctly, they just give you a regular programming language. It's a shame there are so many other pitfalls, though.

I put llama 3 on a RBPi 5 and have it running a small droid. I added a TTS engine so it can hear spoken prompts which it replies to in droid speak. It also has a small screen that translates the response to English. I gave it a backstory about being a astromech droid so it usually just talks about the hyperdrive but it's fun.
I don't think it is anything to do with complexity, or grouping code/data, its just a natural tendency of people to categorize things together that display a high degree of class inclusion. And some categories are easier to deal with than others.
As a side note, one of my pet peeves is that a lot of "privatize social security" contains a deceptive and fundamental change: Turning what is primarily an insurance plan against starving in a ditch into a invest in the stock market nothing could possibly go wrong plan.

The two things are different in important and fundamental ways.

Not to mention, such sites often have a discussion, with pros and cons of certain tacts, why some methods may be pitfalls, and more.

Such sites help you understand why, far more than a distilled down response of a LLM. Such sites help you learn.

Knowing the why, is often far more important than the how.
Just to nitpick…

Most recent pardons have been announced in documents labeled "Executive Grant of Clemency", so I don't think "clemency" and "pardons" are as distinct as you're saying.

And while I know you said "usually", I can't help but note that Hunter Biden was pardoned for any federal thing he may have done, anywhere, anytime in the last 10 years. Some of the last-minute pardons were pretty broad as well.

Trump clearly values favoritism to a high degree. He is doing exactly as he has promised, running the country like a businessman. If you scratch his back, he will scratch yours. Principles take a back seat to "getting the job done". For other examples, see his changed stances on TikTok, various foreign interests, cryptocurrencies, EVs post Elon support, etc. And in the opposite vein, he abandons support for anyone who challenges his authority on principles.

I'm a freelance webdev with 15 years of experience, and recently I've made some new projects with Symfony Stimulus & Turbo to great success.

A few thoughts:

I tried just htmx too, too limiting. Stimulus/Turbo combination is much better.

Use the right tool for the job. Highly interactive app, like an editor? Use react or similar js framework. Mostly page/document website? A backend framework is much faster and easier to develop, and much simpler to test.

Use what you know yada yada.

It took a bit of tracking down, but I finally found an apparently egregious example of this sort of thing I had vaguely remembered: Iraqi citizen and legal US resident Shihab Ahmed Shihab Shihab was sentenced last February to 14 years in prison for his role in an alleged plot to murder George W. Bush, and his involvement in smuggling terrorists into the United States. [1] But his sentencing (after his guilty plea) contains an interesting caveat: lifetime supervised release.

Why is a terrorist and would-be assassin of a former President getting lifetime supervised release? None of the media coverage of the case, going back years, makes that clear. However, a footnote in the original criminal complaint against[2] him offers a likely explanation:

"In or around the end of March 2022, United States immigration officials conducted an asylum interview with SHIHAB. After the interview was conducted United States immigration officials advised the FBI that SHIHAB may have information regarding an ISIS member that was recently smuggled into the United States."

With a little reading between the lines of the criminal complaint, a very different story emerges: Shihab never dealt with any terrorists. He was a paid middleman between two government informants or agents pretending to be terrorists. He took their money, played along, and ratted them out to INS during an asylum interview. After that, once they realized the jig was up, the FBI arrested and charged him at its earliest opportunity - for the plot they had created and paid him to participate in, and which he in turn had informed the government about.

You are conflating two completely separate things.

The Liskov principle basically defines when you want inheritance versus when you don't. If your classes don't respect the Liskov principle, then they must not use inheritance.

The problems from your story relate to the implementation of some classes that really needed inheritance. The spaghetti you allude to was not caused by inheritance itself, if was caused by people creating spaghetti. The fact that child classes were calling parent class methods and then the parent class would call child class methods and so on is symptomatic of code that does too much, and of people taking code reuse to the extreme.

I've seen the same things happen with procedural code - a bunch of functions calling each other with all sorts of control parameters, and people adding just one more bool and one more if, because an existing function already does most of what I want, it just needs to do it slightly different at the seventh step. And after a few rounds of this, you end up with a function that can technically do 32 different things to the same data, depending on the combination of flags you pass in. And everyone deeply suspects that only 7 of those things are really used, but they're still afraid to break any of the other 25 possible cases with a change.

People piggybacking on existing code and changing it just a little bit is the root of most spaghetti. Whether that happens through flags or unprincipled inheritance or a mass of callbacks, it will always happen if enough people are trying to do this and enough time passes.

As an aside, in Canada, a sentence of life without parole is considered unlawful because it conflicts with Section 12 of the Charter guarantees that individuals have the right not to be subjected to cruel and unusual punishment. Courts have ruled that life without the possibility of parole deprives offenders of any hope of rehabilitation or reintegration into society, which could amount to cruel and unusual treatment.

A sentence must balance the gravity of the offense with the circumstances of the offender, while still allowing for hope and redemption. A life sentence without parole forecloses this balance.

It's always struck me as odd that the United States - a nation that is packed with far more Christians than Canada - doesn't shape its system of incarceration to be more inline with Christian values and the teachings of Jesus.

Canada's explicit rejection of life sentences without parole (LWOP) through decisions like R v Bissonnette more closely aligns with Jesus's teachings about redemption and mercy. In Canada, even those convicted of the most serious crimes retain the possibility of parole - not a guarantee of release, but a recognition of the potential for rehabilitation that echoes Jesus's teachings about transformation and second chances.

This philosophical difference manifests in several ways:

- In Canada, the emphasis on rehabilitation over retribution is reflected in the term "correctional services" rather than "penitentiary system"

- Canadian prisons generally offer more rehabilitative programs and education opportunities

- The Canadian system places greater emphasis on Indigenous healing lodges and restorative justice practices that align with Jesus's focus on healing broken relationships

- Canadian courts have explicitly recognized that denying hope of release violates human dignity, which parallels Jesus's teachings about the inherent worth of every person

The contrast becomes particularly stark when considering multiple murders. While many US jurisdictions impose multiple life sentences to be served consecutively (effectively ensuring death in prison), the Canadian Supreme Court has ruled this practice unconstitutional, maintaining that even the worst offenders should retain the possibility - though not guarantee - of earning redemption through genuine rehabilitation.

This doesn't mean Canada is soft on crime - serious offenders still serve lengthy sentences, and parole is never guaranteed. But the maintenance of hope for eventual redemption, even in the worst cases, better reflects Jesus's teachings about grace, transformation, and the limitless possibility of spiritual renewal.

The irony is particularly pointed given that the US has a much higher proportion of self-identified Christians than Canada, yet has adopted a more retributive approach that seems less aligned with Jesus's teachings about mercy and redemption.

But hey, you just have to wait for the right president to be elected and you might get your chance. So I guess that's something.

How much protein were you getting on the high protein diet? For a long time I heard about "get lots of protein, it helps with satiety" and I thought I had enough protein.

+ Stay focused: continue to ask, "is the task I am working on essential?"
No human is in danger of forgetting Tiananmen Square unless they didn’t know about it in the first place. Details are strewn across the Internet and in book-libraries all over the world. New generations of students and interested kids can easily learn about them.

Additionally it has been shown that making models forget things lobotomizes them, so no SOTA model can ever do that and be SOTA. They might be post-trained into pretending not to know, but the technology fundamentally cannot resist jailbreaking.
