Seems like that “finding” isn’t really a finding then, right?

It’s great to investigate how private a local LLM server actually is, but including unverified claims from undisclosed sources is basically just trying to spread fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD).
I get that it’s more correct, but it assumes that Europe/Paris is a constant representation of how to apply the timezone-specific stuff but that’s incorrect. For example, ‘2025-06-20T17:00:00+02[Europe/Dublin]’ is a very different time if it’s created today vs if it were created in 1760 [1]. That’s a very extreme example, but timezone rules change and dates created from before the change was announced would be interpreted differently from ones created after they were announced. It’s interesting to me the standard doesn’t embed the creation time of the timestamp in UTC as well.

Agreed -

It's beyond wrong.
For example, at the core of plenty of numerical libraries is 30+ year old fortran code from netlib that works great.
It's just done.

It does what it's supposed to. It does not have meaningful bugs. There is no reason to change it.

Obviously, one can (and people do) rewrite it in another language to avoid having to have a fortran compiler around, or because they want to make some other tradeoff (usually performance).

But it's otherwise done. There is no need to make new releases of the code. It does what it is supposed to do.

That's what you want out of libraries past a certain point - not new features, you just want them to do what you want and not break you.
I've tried to like LibreOffice for years, but man, it's just so ugly. And no, I’m not asking for a ribbon interface (I think that's awful too), but the UI looks like it’s stuck in the past.

PineTime is nice and cheap and does a little BlueTooth. It's easy to flash your own firmware to it; I think it might have been an option.

That said, Pine64 does not do a whole lot of work on their platform and I guess a lot of people are wanting _more_. It's a simple watch and for what it does and costs it's great. If you think you'll get an open source Apple Watch, you're going to be disappointed.

It stings a little every time I hear a story like this on the BBC about the revolutionary new invention being an implanted device to stimulate parts of the brain. This is like the third time.

They treat it like it has never been done before, but in truth, it's something that has been done for decades for Parkinson's, epilepsy, and a handful of other conditions with increasingly precise targeting and triggers.

Got one for my epilepsy two years ago. It reads my brain waves and sends a targeted stimulation deep in my brain to stop the seizure before it spreads.

I’m all for both.
The model you described probably works great (not just in AI) as long as it's not your primary and direct source of revenue with which you must pay back investors. Once it becomes your primary and direct source of revenue and you must generate some returns for investors or meet some revenue targets, then whatever you're doing somehow has to align with that revenue stream (often ruining the fun).
The article has some thoughts on the matter:

> Distrust in Big Tech has been building in the U.S. for years, from the 2013 revelation of the government’s mass data collection, to the data scandal involving consulting firm Cambridge Analytica, to the 2021 Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen’s leaks indicating Meta was aware of its harms on society, to the multiple Congressional hearings where lawmakers grilled Big Tech CEOs over app safety, antitrust issues, and harmful algorithms.

> This year, tech CEOs lined up to pledge allegiance to the Trump administration in the form of $1 million donations to the president’s inaugural fund, hoping to buy favor and avoid scrutiny and regulation of their businesses — no matter the cost to their users. (Even for those aligned with Trump, the tech leaders’ actions are seen as disingenuous, given how they’ve flip-flopped after previously criticizing Trump in his earlier term.)

Personally (not a teen) I think you're both onto something, and its the general lack of any pushback to ANY of these activities that made me lose confidence.
I think that’s fine if you always stay in one place. The adjustment for jet-lagged visitors may be more disruptive though.

Indeed. For anyone interested in Temporal specifically, they can see the proposal here: https://tc39.es/proposal-temporal/

I don't buy that. Allegedly Google lost to OpenAI because the compute resources were allocated evenly and then each team shared to other teams. So it became a popularity contest instead of meritocratic allocation. And then Pichai tried to merge all the different AI teams making it even worse. From rumors by connected people on podcasts.

There has to be some structure to put the best ones first. The key problem is how to judge that.

Cambridge Analytica wasn't censorship. It basically involved simple form questions to gauge political affiliation and was brilliant. Ad companies do this every day with no issues.

It only became an issue because it helped Trump win. Obama spammed Facebook years earlier, which I think is much worse and people in the tech community called it 'genius'.

This sort of double standards is why nobody trusts big tech.
> Decompilation, seen as a translation problem, is by any means a job that suits AI methods.

Compilation is also a translation problem but I think many people would be leery of an LLM-based rust or clang -- perhaps simply because they're more familiar with the complexities involved in compilation than they are with those involved in decompilation.

(Not to say it won't eventually happen in some form.)

Wow, this is great! We were using the proposal library at my job when I first joined, but switched to moment since Temporal seemed frozen. For what it's worth, moment is excellent too, but having good datetime support in the standard library is going to be fantastic.
What are the conditions that must hold for "revealed preference" to be a relevant measurement? In an economy dominated by cartels it would not seem to convey much information relevant to preference, given lack of consumer choice.
Or when the side that said they were gonna be totally above doing that and were pro free speech started censoring 'cisgender', people that got traction making fun of them/calling them out and criticisms of governments committing war crimes.

> What would it even mean in practice for them to think about concrete "walking" instead of the abstract concept? Verbs are inherently abstract.

Your example of the leash and the concept of "walking" is an excellent point.

To answer your question, all proper nouns are not abstract by definition. Your name refers to you, specifically and concretely, it does not refer to the concept of "person" or "people."

But to take this further, imagine the following thought experiment:

You have a newborn infant, and you isolate them from the rest of the world (remember this is a thought experiment, so we are not bound by ethical considerations for this purpose). You show them 3 identical staplers. You call the first one "Foo", the second one "Bar" and the 3rd one "Baz."

An infant might, on their own as they grow and mature, start to abstract and conceptualize a concept of a logical grouping here. They might observe that Foo, Bar and Baz have similarities and, being humans, they might even come up with some kind of verbal or non-verbal cue to reference this abstract concept.

But for a while at least, these are individual concretes. If all they ever see is one single concrete "stapler", they may learn to associate the word with the concrete and never even think about abstracting it. But if they do start to abstract it upon observation of similar "things" ... to what degree are non-humans capable of doing that?

You provide a lot of good evidence that dogs can to some degree. But to what extent? What are the limitations?

These are unanswered questions in both science and philosophy.

I hope I answered your question, as it was a valid one. I'm not giving answers to these hypotheses and philosophical conjectures. I'm saying that this is something that is still not quite figured out yet.
I get that the naming Temporal is used for avoiding conflicts with typical time objects like Moment, Datetime, etc. But isn't it a terrible name? At first glance I thought it was some kind of garbage collection control
You make the distinction between something being in the standard library vs an arbitrary external package sound like a minor detail.

It's not. It makes a world of difference. Having a hard guarantee that you are not dragging any transient dependency is often a big deal. Not to mention the maintenance guarantees.

I have sales numbers, and market share adoption across the industry, proving that they do just fine, on my side.

Whereas I am expecting profiler data showing memory issues caused by RAII patterns, from your side, or any of those influencers on whatever platform they complain about.
I think it's far more fair to say that developers have agreed to let them use their data (that they will use to reduce dev jobs) in exchange for a service that can almost entirely be easily migrated elsewhere.

If you think MS using github code to train AI is bad, let's be pragmatic about where we're putting the blame or there's no shot we can course correct.

I personally am not looking forward to the pain of losing my job, but I would never presume my job is more important than progress. My job wouldn't even exist if we halted progress to save the jobs.
None of those stats mean they trust the platforms though. Just that they consider them to be an indispensable part of life.

Which is revealing in itself! But when I think back to my first days using Facebook the thought never occurred to me that I couldn’t trust them. Naïveté in my part for sure but I think it’s notable that todays young folks have wised up.

" However, while AI holds many possibilities for promoting the good, it can also hinder or even counter human development and the common good. Pope Francis has noted that “evidence to date suggests that digital technologies have increased inequality in our world. Not just differences in material wealth, which are also significant, but also differences in access to political and social influence.”[103] In this sense, AI could be used to perpetuate marginalization and discrimination, create new forms of poverty, widen the “digital divide,” and worsen existing social inequalities."

Well he's not wrong.
The AI race to zero continues to accelerate and Mistral has shown one card to just stay in the race. (And released for free)

OpenAI's reaction to DeepSeek looked more like cope and panic after they realized they're getting squeezed at their own game.

Notice how Google hasn't said anything with these announcements and didn't rush out a model nor did they do any price cuts? They are not in panic and have something up their sleeve.

I'd expect Google to release a new reasoning model that is competitive with DeepSeek and o1 (or matches o3). Would be even more interesting if they release it for free.
Scientists flock to DeepSeek: how they're using the blockbuster AI model
This principle, as well as related principles, like the McNamara Fallacy and Goodhart's Law essentially boil down to one lesson I've come to realize in life: "numbers", "metrics" or even a "system" are never a substitute for actual humans caring about doing the right thing. If the humans involved care to do the right thing, they will do it, even without a system (although some systems make it easier). If they don't care about doing the right thing, no system or data-driven approach can fix that.

Which is also why I have a sneaking suspicion that most economic theory is complete bullshit. All the debates over privatization vs. public services, monopoly vs. competition, autocratic vs. democratic styles of leadership etc. are mostly irrelevant. Both can work. It all boils down to whether you have good human stakeholders who have the integrity and agency to do the right thing. Counter to most economic theories, for example, a monopoly that is run by people who actually care about doing the right thing might be better run than fiercely competitive startups who just want to make a quick buck.
Is say "no, it's quite long, that makes sense", but I get it.

Short Circuit 2, Johnny 5 meeting a priest in a confession booth.

That it's possible for an AI to summarise this does still feel weird given what little they could do when I was growing up.
People own mobile devices because they must in order to function in contemporary society, not because they trust the agents behind them. I can't do banking, park my car, buy transport passes, etc. without a mobile device. That doesn't mean I trust any of the tech actors behind the programs I use on it. In fact, using it regularly makes me more suspicious of them than I already was.
Maybe Rust needs another type of reference that's exclusive write only?
Right now there's RO (&T) and exclusive RW (&mut T) but WO is missing.

Having a WO reference would allow these read_buf APIs to express they only write and never read so the uninitialized memory is safe to pass directly.
It's great that they're tackling this, but I'm concerned that this take on AI will be quickly superseded by coming advances. As a particular point, they are treating embodiment and learning from direct experience as a significant distinction between AI and humans:

> 31. However, even as AI processes and simulates certain expressions of intelligence, it remains fundamentally confined to a logical-mathematical framework, which imposes inherent limitations. Human intelligence, in contrast, develops organically throughout the person’s physical and psychological growth, shaped by a myriad of lived experiences in the flesh. Although advanced AI systems can “learn” through processes such as machine learning, this sort of training is fundamentally different from the developmental growth of human intelligence, which is shaped by embodied experiences, including sensory input, emotional responses, social interactions, and the unique context of each moment. These elements shape and form individuals within their personal history.In contrast, AI, lacking a physical body, relies on computational reasoning and learning based on vast datasets that include recorded human experiences and knowledge.

But there's nothing about AI in general that limits it to learning only from prior data, and we're already seeing robots such as Boston Dynamics's Spot learning to navigate and act in novel environments. We're probably still far from passing Steve Wozniak's Coffee Test, but we're advancing towards it, and for a take that's supposed to be based on philosophy/theology, I would have hoped that they go a bit beyond the current state of the art.
I love DIY music of any kind. Weird Javascript synths, PVC pipe flutes, badly tuned wooden vibraphones on the playgrounds, tissue box and rubber band guitars - give me all of it. Every time someone builds something to make a sound they're doing art, expressing one of the things I love most about humans - that we like to make interesting noises. (and ugly ones too!)

The _physicality_ of music is maybe the closest thing I can think of to real actual magic. We build these devices to modulate the pressure of air in specific ways so that we can transmit sound. Us humans have got built in hardware that is capable of incredibly fine control of air pressure and hardware for decoding those pressure waves into language - and even sometimes to bypass the language decoding and hit us directly in our emotions.

Take some time to really think about how sound works and how we're able to produce and receive it. It sounds like something out of a fantasy novel!

The vulnerability is almost never in the compiler (not never - I have seen a case, but very rare). Most attacks are in the library itself. If your library has a buffer overflow you are vulnerable. If your library has a C style buffer length + size parameters and you mess them up is it the libraries fault for such a bad API?
I think this is in reference to OpenOffice but the wording is rather confusing.
"teams" are a clue to there being an underlying hierarchy and division which may not exist at deepseek. If its a smaller self-organising team of people, there would be no such effect.

It is also common knowledge that google's internal team and advancement politics are already pathological -- against a background of a winner-takes-all, cooperation does not work.
