One of the many mechanisms they developed is the "Dynamic Equity Framework" where ownership is designed to be fluid and adaptive. Contributions of work, capital, or other resources translate into ownership stakes in fair, transparent ways, avoiding traditional hierarchical accumulation of power.

They do for every filled job.

But wasn't DOGE created to eliminate some of those jobs? In which case, the question becomes: Will supply be willing to show up for the market price, which may soon become zero or even negative?
I use a dedicated PC with Ubuntu for the kind of AI assisted development where the AI's has access to the disk.

The only secrets it has are the API key to the AI, a temporary ssh key that can be used with git to access the github repository, and whatever the Brave browser stores for ChatGPT's website. Nothing else. No production keys, no CI keys no code signing keys.

Kind of the same restrictions I use on anything running Microsoft Windows.
As far as I can tell this is a better, more polished product. And they are giving away high quality model access for free.

I feel you are just applying a classic example from ethical hacking 101 that doesn't apply at all.

The common example is that a house can have a door without lock, but it is still a crime to enter. Similarly, entering into a vulnerable system or a system without password even is not legal (although of course the existence of a password or lock mechanism makes undeniable the fact that the place is not for public entry)

In this case there is no entering into any system. There is no lock picked, no server accessed.

This is exactly what we have had working in Langroid since at least a year, so I don't quite get the buzz around this. Langroid's `DocChatAgent` produces granular markdown-style citations, and works with practically any (good enough) LLM. E.g.

I agree. Here is a similar post from another amazing developer.

Worse, sometimes the upstream is complex enough that you don't want to do it yourself - then the upstream quits maintaining their project. I have in my company some open source projects that we still use that haven't been touched upstream since 2012, but either there is no replacement or the replacement is so different it isn't worth the effort to upgrade. Fortunately none of these are projects where I worry about security issues, I'm just annoyed by the lack of support, but if they faced the network I'd be concerned (and we do have security people who would force a change)
Go's vast standard library helps a lot with keeping dependency numbers down
Copilot doesn't have full repo/project knowledge like this/Windsurf/Cursor, that's the biggest benefit of these AI specific VSCode forks. These AI forks can edit and take context from your entire project folder. Copilot currently only looks at the specific open file you have, and does not have full project knowledge.

Yes, that was my second scenario. Truthfully, I don't know how it will go down, I can only hope we get a good outcome.

In my mind, I still think 100% unemployment would mean a lot of people who live today in relative comfort, and are therefore complacent with oligarchy, would get very mad. Even if bought by billionaires, I doubt they'd retain the same quality of life as when the economy needed them.

And I don't see billionaires isolating themselves forever in gated communities, what's the point of being this powerful if you live in a golden cage? Look at Musk, he's the richest man in the world, and could just chill in the shadows but is constantly seeking attention and recognition.
For Rust and Go in particular, the difference is in the standard library. The Rust stdlib is (intentionally) small.
The cost of dealing with remote employees who are not contributing as they should falls on the agencies. That's not insignificant. By requiring everyone to return, that cost is eliminated (or at least much less). IMO, in-person, on-site that cost is much less and the problems are easier to spot early and deal with before they get worse or become more widespread (more and more workers start slacking off).
I haven't seen this before but back in the early 2010s I had some India-based group that iframed our SaaS website under a new domain. I caught it early and implemented this fix: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2896623/how-to-prevent-m...

I had a somewhat similar experience trying to use LLMs to do OCR.

All the models I've tried (Sonnet 3.5, GPT 4o, Llama 3.2, Qwen2 VL) have been pretty good at extracting text, but they failed miserably at finding bounding boxes, usually just making up random coordinates. I thought this might have been due to internal resizing of images so tried to get them to use relative % based coordinates, but no luck there either.

Eventually gave up and went back to good old PP-OCR models (are these still state of the art? would love to try out some better ones). The actual extraction feels a bit less accurate than the best LLMs, but bounding box detection is pretty much spot on all the time, and it's literally several orders of magnitude more efficient in terms of memory and overall energy use.

My conclusion was that current gen models still just aren't capable enough yet, but I can't help but feel like I might be missing something. How the heck did Anthropic and OpenAI manage to build computer use if their models can't give them accurate coordinates of objects in screenshots?

This looks like a technical decision on where to focus investment.

From a quick read (maybe I'm missing something) this seems to me to be coming from "You didn't fund the project I care about" rather than any wrongdoing.

Every System is a Log: Avoiding coordination in distributed applications
A short summary:

Complex distributed coordination and orchestration is at the root of what makes many apps brittle and prone to inconsistencies.

But we can mitigate much of complexity with a neat trick, building on the fact that every system (database, queue, state machine) is effectively a log underneath the hood. By implementing interaction with those systems as (conditional) events on a shared log, we can build amazingly robust apps.

If you have come across “Turning the Database Inside Out” (https://martin.kleppmann.com/2015/11/05/database-inside-out-...), you can think of this a bit like “Turning the Microservice Inside Out”

The post also looks at how this can be used in practice, given that our DBs and queues aren't built like this, and how to strike a sweet-spot balance between this model with its great consistency, and maintaining healthy decoupling and separation of concerns.
it can bypass some whitelisting if you for example have redirects checking if address is example.com but validation is poorly written ("startswith", "contains") , on login page or anywhere else.

Pensions compete with self-directed retirement in the same way that a salary competes with founding your own business: they take all the risk and all the mental effort and give you something you can (mostly) rely on without any added effort, in exchange for a smaller return than is technically possible if you took the risk and planning effort yourself.

Some people would definitely be better off managing their own retirement, but just due to the way these things work my bet is about half of all people (the left of the bell curve) would be better off with a pension.

How to Build an Artificial Synapse
I sympathize with the author, it's a tricky balance to strike and writing it yourself because how hard could it be can be a trap, but at the same time babelian towers of abstractions can and often do make for a great waste of mental resources.

One of the reasons I wrote https://crates.io/crates/self_cell/ was to avoid the dependency trees pulled in by proc macros like ouroboros.
It's astroturf.
On earth, difficult as you need to pay the price of being inside a 300 kelvin enviroment. But there's no such temparature in space, just the size of your radiator you'll need anyway. So there may be a very real performance improvement from doing math in space.
The perimeter (which is something very close to the derivative) is not continuous.

If you think about it a bit, you can easily change a shape in a way that greatly increases its perimeter but leaves it's area (almost) unaffected. Which means that just because two shapes are extremely close in shape, they can be very different in perimeter.

What is interesting is that it is semi continuous. The limit (this isn't quite correct) of the series is larger than the point. As the limit of the series is 2, but the actual distance is sqrt(2), which is smaller. So if you calculate the limit of the staircase perimeter you only know that it is larger or equal to the perimeter of the limit.

>I suppose the answer is that it is not in fact ever a triangle — just a thing with a fat edge.

It absolutely is a triangle. Because it converges in shape.
Kind of, but not 100%. At least not in the case where you get a machine with non-ECC RAM and later need something more workstation-class with ECC RAM for whatever reason (scientific, research and whatnot).

As the author says, it's a balance. There are many, many problems we deal with that are relatively self-contained, whose solution is going to be stable over long swaths of time. For those types, I hereby grant everyone permission to craft/extract/copy the smallest most straightforward implementation directly into your codebase, and enjoy a life free of deprecation warnings and bogus security alerts and endless dependency churn. If you want some guidelines -- these sorts of cases should be at most one or two hundred lines of code, be free of any dependencies, and have a small api surface area.
Mods please update to the real title: "Stargate artificial intelligence project to exclusively serve OpenAI"
Love the thesis statement. There is a lot of hidden cost in allowing abstractions from other libraries to be exposed over your own. I'm not here to say that should never be done but the future costs really need to be balanced at the decision point.

If the encapsulating package churns over its design, or changes it's goals it creates instability. Functionality is lost or broken apart when previously it was previously the simplest form of guarantee in software engineering in existence. It also deters niche but expert owners who aren't career OSS contributors from taking part in an ecosystem."I made a clean way to do X!" being followed up by weeks of discussion, negotiation, politics so that "X fits under Y because maybe people like Z" is inefficient and wasteful of everyones time.

If there's one thing I've learned in my life it's that the simplest things survive the longest. Miniliths, and monoliths should be celebrated way more often. Rust isn't alone in this by the way, I've seen this across languages. I've often seen OSS communities, drive hard for atomistic size packages, and I often wonder if it's mostly for flag planting and ownership transfer purposes than it is to benefit the community that actually uses these things.
You need a large, modern C++ compiler and standard library, which are not available for most older systems, and you're inviting an excess of dependencies because not all compilers support all parts of the newer C++ standards (in the same way), and require a lot more resources and newer versions of APIs and libraries, which further limits their usability on older systems. Furthermore, C89 and C++98 are much easier to bootstrap than a colossus like LLVM and Clang. The few "nice features" are perhaps enticing, but the costs they incur are disproportionate.
One big reason is because Go has a very nice complete standard library, and Rust really does not.

Things you can find in go’s built in to the language or in standard libraries that need a dependency in Rust:

- green threads

- channels

- regular expressions

- http client

- http server

- time

- command line flags

- a logger

- read and write animated GIFs

I don’t love the Go language, but it’s the leader for tooling and standard library, definitely the best I’ve used.
It is possible that the person you replied to wasn't confused by that. I've certainly come across the type of developer who'd deride the lack of ability to formally test their code then, in the next breath, click through the happy path of their code and send it.
I tend to agree, but it may have downsides to: it may do the job and have serious security issues. If you don't know what it does, no reason to know about the security issues.

The issue is not with the creativity of the designers. It is with corporate incentives and consumer demand, mostly.
You've missed my point: it is not a financing issue that will prevent mass automation, it is not a technology issue that will prevent mass automation, it is a social politics issue that will derail the entire goal. It's pretty hard to automate while a war is taking place, and if this tech is used to create mass unemployment that will trigger war.
It's not standardized but those calls do not change. The windows calls in particular are guaranteed ABI stable since they are compiled into a lot of binaries. There are definitely issues with ioctl but the changes landing in terminal-size or any of the dependencies that caused all these releases, are entirely unrelated to ioctl/TIOCGWINSZ constants/winsize struct. That code hasn't changed.

I don't think I've seen plugins with animations (nor would I want to). Agreed that emoji in the terminal, modulo useful glyphs like language logos next to files in a directory tree [0], are distracting.

What I don't understand are people who add a million plugins, and then wonder why the startup performance is terrible. I have a fair amount, including some I honestly rarely or never need, and startup time is still 75 msec, which is fast enough for me not to be bothered.

Note that here they are using "square" for the face of the walls, but the inside are just whatever they can fit. Less skill needed for the bulk of the stone. Square in quotes because they are not very close, but still a more or less flat sides for out, up, and down. The doors and windows have much better quality stone with a much nicer finish - good tolerances matter here so your door/window fits (though the window probably was just open air or a shutter)

I left security work for a similar reason. In most companies, Security isn't there to collaboratively build more reliable and dependable products that protect customer privacy, bringing in a useful perspective of how things can go wrong, similar to QA's role. Instead, Security is there to be the internal police, who treat engineers (and other employees) like criminals, and get recognition and rewards for stopping the company from shipping. The way the vast majority of companies treat Security is deeply dysfunctional and soul-killing to anyone who wants to bring a glass-half-full mentality to work. And in an industry where it has become practically an expectation for people to jump ship after ~4 years, that's too much of a career risk to take. (side note: QA has exactly the same problem.)
Likely a fake story, but funny.
It is not /really/ countable in a computable sense; it is undecidable whether or not a program generates a real number or diverges (as a consequence of Rice's theorem). Thus you cannot compute a function that enumerates all programs that compute real numbers.
