Structuring large Clojure codebases with Biffweb
Some other useful things:

1)solve to solve a system and “variable: expression” will assign that expression to that variable. You can then substitute the results into a later expression using a “,”. So you might do

solns:solve([x+3*y=5,5*x-2*y=4],[x,y]);
z:%e^(x,y),solns;

That will solve the system and then substitute those solutions into the expression for z.

2)pi, e, and the imaginary unit are called %pi, %e and %i respectively.

3)The symbolic solver is a lot less powerful than mathematica but you can do

load(“to_poly_solve”);

To get a polynomial solver that will at least get you all the roots of polynomials and does better on most trigonometric equations.

load(“drawdf”);

Is useful for drawing vector fields, phase portraits and that type of thing.

4) you can use a single quote to delay evaluation of something. Like say you want to write a differential equation and you don’t want it to actually try to evaluate the derivative inline, you can write something like

osc:‘diff(x,t,2) + r*’diff(x,t) + k*x = p*cos(omega\*t);

…for a forced harmonic oscilator. Or whatever. This is useful if you want to mess with the expression a bit before you try to solve the expression (eg doing substitutions or whatnot).*
The language seems to argue otherwise: SLAP "allows the adversary to jump the LAP to the target webpage's string and trick the CPU into operating on it" and FLOP "allows us to run a function with the wrong arguments". That's absolutely not mere data exfiltration.

Now, maybe this is because of a trampoline based on pre-existing Safari bugs and not the CPU misfeature itself. Again, the details are slim.

But "the same flavor of vulerability" seems to be a mischaracterization.

So, AGI will likely be here in the next few months because the path is now actually clear: Training will be in three phases:

- traditional just to build a minimum model that can get to reasoning
- simple RL to enable reasoning to emerge
- complex RL that injects new knowledge, builds better reasoning and prioritizes efficient thought

We now have step two and step three is not far away. What is step three though? It will likely involve, at least partially, the model writing code to help guide learning. All it takes is for it to write jailbreaking code and we have hit a new point in human history for sure. My prediction is we will see the first jailbreak AI in the next couple months. Everything after that will be massive speculation. My only thought is that in all of Earth's history there has only been one thing that has helped survive moments like this, a diverse ecosystem. We need a lot of different models, trained with very different approaches, to jailbreak around the same time. As a side note, we should try to encourage that diversity is key to long-term survival or else the results for humanity could be not so great.

I think this depends on the context. I would argue that opinionated frameworks are *more* reliable, with the caveat that you need to know, and agree with those opinions.

I think of RoR, Laravel, Next.js, and Django etc. like I'm crowdsourcing my apps architecture so I can just worry about building out my business logic.

Even if you don't choose a framework at some point you end up building your own framework and introducing new opinions anyway, what I often see in these homegrown frameworks are.

1. Somewhat conflicting opinions expressed across different layers of abstraction that you build into your app over time.

2. In not having an opinion you try to satisfy many ways of solving problems introducing more edge case problems and serious over engineering.
Meta blocked Distrowatch links on Facebook while running Linux servers
Oh wow, today I learned about env -S - when I saw the shebang line in the article, I immediately thought "that doesn't work on Linux, shebang lines can only pass a single argument". Basically, running foo.py starting with

#!/usr/bin/env -S uv run --script

causes the OS run really run env with only two arguments, namely the shebang line as one argument and the script's filename as the second argument, i.e.:

/usr/bin/env '-S uv run --script' foo.py

However, the -S flag of env causes env to split everything back into separate arguments! Very cool, very useful.

When the production engine exists in physical form, we can absolutely discuss its capabilities. The XB-1 demonstrator is, using afterburner to get to speed, demonstrating other design features intended to keep the noise down.

While I think this comment got flagged (probably for the way it was worded), you aren't wrong! A good way I've heard a similar thought expressed is that code should be not only easy to maintain, but also throw away and replace, which more or less urges you towards writing the easiest things you can get away with (given your particular performance requirements and other constraints).
Yes, well - if I still had reason to care about the politics I'd be in much the same position, I'm sure. As is, I'm going to just make the thing, write about it, and see who likes it.

IRL, whenever anyone tells me that the Fed's "money printing" is "causing" this or that other thing, I always ask: "OK, tell me how the 'printed money' ends up in people's hands, and why and how it causes bubbles and inflation like you say." Typically, the response I get is a deer-in-the-headlights blank stare.

In fact, the Fed cannot "print money." Only the US Treasury can, and it must first borrow the money or collect it in taxes. The Fed only buys/sells government/agency bonds in the open market, lends money to banks when those banks ask for it, and changes short-term rates.

To paraphrase H. L. Mencken, all these "money printing" narratives that blame the Fed for some economic malaise are simple, appealing, and wrong.

That's not the uvx way? Dependencies at the top of a script was outlined in PEP 723, which uv/uvx added support for. Not everything is a "project", some files are just one-and-done scripts which should not have to carry the burden of project/environment management, but absolutely should still be able to make use of dependencies. The "uvx way" of doing it just means that it doesn't have to pollute the global/user install, and can even be isolated into a separate instance.

Besides, not everyone uses conda, and it would be quite a stretch to say it "might as well" be a built-in compared to, well, the actual built in, pip! Plus, uv works quite nicely as "just a pip replacement", which is how I started with it, so it aligns quite well to the actual built-in paradigm of the language.

I've not tried tbh. Most of the workflows i've seen (i know i looked at Cursor, but it's been a while) appear to be to write lengthy descriptions of what you want it to do. As well as struggling with the amount of context you need to give it because context windows are way too small.

I feel like i want a more intuitive, natural process. Purely for illustration -- because i have no idea what the ideal workflow is -- I'd want something that could allow for large autocomplete without changing much. Maybe a process by which i write a function, args, docstring on the func and then as i write the body autocomplete becomes multiline and very good.

Something like this could be an extension of the normal autocomplete that most of us know and love. A lack of talking to an AI, and more about just tweaking how you write code to be very metadata rich so AIs have a rich understanding of intent.

I know there are LLM LSPs which sort of do this. They can make shorter autocompletes that are logical to what you're typing, but i think i'm talking about something larger than that.

So yea.. i don't know, but i just know i have hated talking to the LLM. Usually it felt like "get out of the way, i can do it faster" sort of thing. I want something to improve how we write code, not an intern that we manage. If that makes sense.
I absolutely love my Garmin instict. It has an always-on display and a battery that lasts for nearly a month.

I mostly use it for reading my calendar, weather, notifications and time. Occasionally I use it for exercise.

But what it also excels at is GPS. I use it as a backup navigational tool when sailing. It has also prevented me from getting lost when running in the woods a number of times.
Rails is a battle tested choice. Nothing wrong with it.

There is no silver bullet that would fit every startup situation.

I think the safest "boring" stack is PHP with Symfony. It is super easy to deploy, has gotten really good support for gradual typing, very battle tested, good package management and easy to find devs for.

Plus you can run your project on a $5 shared hosting and not worry about dev ops and stuff, massively reducing costs.

Now, if you know you want to do anything AI, then using Python is also a great option. Also Flask is amazing for making Microservices. The packaging story sucks but there are ways to cope and you will dockerize everything anyway.

Or if you are planning on something more challenging which could profit from being on BEAM, why not go the Elixir route? They are still working on the gradual typing features but they are getting there and the functional style helps a lot with managing your state.

So yeah, depends what you need. I think golang is excellent for microservices but lacks a good Rails-style framework for cultural reasons. And you shouldn't really go microservice in a startup if you don't have very specific needs.

So well, pick your poison. The great thing about backend is that your customers don't care what you use. Might as well deploy Common Lisp if your hearts tells you to.
There's new stuff on lower layers. Some of the math is, interesting? A novel method of scaling mantissas and exponents. Yes, some of the operations have to use higher precision. Yes, some values like optimizer states, gradients and weights still need higher precision. But what they can do in 8 they do in 8. Of course, like everyone, they're reduced to begging NVidia to quantize on global to shared transfer in order to realize the true potential of what they're trying to do. But I mean, hey, that's where we all are and most papers I read don't have near as many interesting and novel techniques in them.

I think recomputing MLA and RMS on backprop is something few would have done.

Dispensing with tensor parallelism by kind of overlapping forward and backprop. That would not have been intuitive to me. (I do, however, make room for the possibility that I'm just not terribly good at this anymore.)

I don't know? I just think there's a lot of new takes in there.

The classic role of an RTOS (realtime operating system) is to run applications that are, well, realtime. Like the anti-lock brake controller in your car, or the fly-by-wire system in the F-117A that compensates for its natural aerodynamic instability, or the motor controller for a 2-ton industrial robot that's whizzing around at many meters per second, or a pacemaker that's adjusting your heart rhythm, or the controller for some piece of a bazillion-dollar ASML EUV lithography system. These are applications where a failure to finish your computations on time has Majorly Bad Consequences.

In these kinds of applications, you need hard realtime guarantees, which usually means things like:

- everything is preemptive

- lock order is very explicitly defined

- memory is statically allocated

- every computation (including interrupts) has a bounded (and guaranteed, and often formally proven) processing time

Embedded async Rust (AFAIK) isn't suitable for building applications like these.

Having said that, the meaning of "RTOS" has shifted over time to something like what you're implying: a collection of primitives that's slimmer than a "real" operating system that allows running an application on embedded hardware. And in that sense, embedded async Rust is a viable option.
