I'm surprised this has no comments/interest, it seems to me Julia is making great strides towards being an approachable, high-performance general purpose language with a great STEM emphasis.

My personal list of the most interesting modern languages: Mojo, Rust, and Julia.

Of course there are plenty of other worthy candidates, Haskell and jank being a couple that are less relevant to my use cases...

> I feel obliged to point out that flags do not represent languages, so probably don’t use flags to represent languages

I feel obliged to point out that majority of engineers get stuck in 3-hour-long meeting discussing corner cases "is Okinawan a separate language" or "what even is a language", while refusing to address the business problem at hand, which is "I want my European user to pick between Italian, French and Spanish". I used to enjoy these "yes but technically no" discussions, but then I understood they never lead anywhere, because they're about solving the problem in some imaginary world that only exists in some people's heads, rather than the real one.

The truth is that there exist situations where using country flags is effective means of communicating the idea of a language. You might not like it, but that's how it works.
Yeah, companies are not dumb, and they know when you have VoIP number vs a full account with an "accepted" company.

I can kind of see why not allowing 2FA to a number that could be easier to loose, but that's weak argument. Of course they don't want someone from .ru to get a US number with all of the baggage that would entail
LLMs often don't do well on tasks that require composition into smaller subtasks. In this case there is a chain of relations that depend on the previous result.
I've definitely implemented small utilities entirely in Claude (as webapps/"artifacts").

Yea but guy paying closedai to get "insights" that basically copy-pasted content from my blog is definitely violating my blogs copyright, and in the end no coin comes to me either. What about that?
F-Droid will never have popular apps because it requires them to be open source. In fact F-Droid does the build for you, generating reproducible builds and avoiding the risk of adding trackers to the binary that aren't actually in the source code. With F-Droid the code you see is what you get.
I tend to use getter and setter functions to access globals and manage state.

Advantage only the function that depends on the global needs to bring in the dependency.

We are seeking a skilled and motivated developer to join our team for the next phase of our project. The project is currently in progress, with 30% of the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) already completed in Version 1. The focus now shifts to Version 2, where we need to implement additional functionalities, fix bugs, and prepare for the development of smart contracts by the end of this year.

Semaglutide, therapy, private schools, expensive “digital detox” retreats.

You don’t have to be that rich to afford any of these except retreats. Moreover, you don’t have to be rich at all to eat healthy, exercise, sleep well, and raise your kids right (which are more effective than the above, except for rare cases like medical conditions).

Meanwhile many rich people suffer from addictions. In fact, it’s probably harder for famous people to get good therapists who they can and do trust, since everyone knows them and there’s big incentive to expose their secrets. And being rich offers new addictions, and enables existing ones since there’s no “rock bottom”.
Yes that’s a fair question. Some companies do allow LLMs in interviews and on the job. But again the solution isn’t what the interviewer wants, so relying on an LLM gives them no signal about your intrinsic capabilities.

Keep in mind that the amount of time you spend in a real job solving clear and easy interview style problems that an LLM can answer is tiny to none. Jobs are most often about juggling priorities and working with other people and under changing conditions, stuff Claude and ChatGPT can’t really help you with. Your personality is way more important to your job success than your GPT skills, and that’s what interviewers want to see… your personality & behavior when you don’t know the right answer, not ChatGPT’s personality.
So its fine for OpenAI to effectively sell your CC BY-NC content to others?
I work in neurotech and sleep, and our focus on slow-wave enhancement has recently had 3 papers looking at the impact in Alzheimer's.

I'm not a scientist or expert, but we do speak with experts in the field.

What I've gathered from these discussions is that Alzheimer's is likely not a single disease but likely multiple diseases which are currently being lumped into the one label.

The way Alzheimer's is diagnosed is by ruling out other forms of dementia, or other diseases. There is not a direct test for Alzheimer's, which makes sense, because we don't really know what it is, which is why we have the Amyloid Hypothesis, the Diabetes Type 3 hypothesis, etc etc.

I fear the baby is being thrown out with the bathwater here, and we need to be very careful not to vilify the Amyloid Hypotheses, but at the same time, take action against those who falsify research.

Here's some of the recent research in sleep and Alzheimer's

1) Feasibility study with a surprisingly positive result - take with a grain of salt - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37593850/

2) Stimulation in older adults (non-AD) shows positive amyloid response with corresponding improvement in memory - https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10758173/

I feel this—I've really enjoyed working on some throwaway projects where I can work like this and not sweat the small stuff at all. That said, the one area that's tricky to reconcile in this mode is security: in my (fairly extensive) experience with the current state of AI coding assistants, prompting for security is nowhere near sufficient for me to be comfortable putting a web app on the internet without reviewing the code carefully.

Just in the past few weeks I can think of several instances where an AI assistant added sensitive API endpoints with no authentication whatsoever, updated API endpoints with methods that didn't follow my guidance on authorization or existing authorization patterns in the codebase, or created templates with brutal potential for XSS.

I'm all in on coding with LLMs and use them every single day, but I'm quite confident there will be plenty of work for security engineers as we explore this future.

Yeah like the ChatGPT app that doesn't work without a Google account. I have Google play on my phone, just no account logged in. I do have Google play services like firebase push which many apps legitimately need. But ChatGPT just opens the login screen in the play store and exits itself.

I'm always wondering why these idiots force the creation of an account with their direct competitor. It's the only app I have that does this. But anyway I don't use their app for that reason, only use them a bit through API.
How hard it is to produce credible-looking bullshit makes a really big difference in these scenarios.

Consultants aren't the ones doing the fact-checking, that falls to the client, who ironically tend to assume the consultants did it.
Checks and balances were never tried in the first place. There must have been some assumption of decorum and decency, so strong that whatever loopholes are, have been left wide open.

Without a competent or impartial FBI and AG, there's literally zero chance these people will be investigated.

With a house and senate that fears the president, there will be no impeachment.

And even if they successfully manage to impeach the president, I'm 100% sure Trump will challenge it.

Yeah, buckle up and enjoy the ride. Gonna be 4 very, very long years.
What a completely weird question.

I don’t understand why you’d invoke a right-wing conspiracy trope that’s obviously and incontrovertibly incompatible with the current reality. Was it accidental, like it’s just a knee jerk reaction to scream “SOROS!” any time you’re confronted?
I don't understand how this isn't considered an incredible national security issue, e.g., what stops an actor buying data for high value targets known to use certain apps, like the President or Prime Minister of a country?
I'm pretty clueless with regards to modern LLM coding tools. What tools make this possible; talking to the computer to change code and whatnot?

> It seems super unhealthy to retroactively go back in time and say 'That expression of glee on my face at the time wasn't actually happiness, because I just didn't know the ending was going to suck.'

That's reading a lot into my words. There were no expressions of glee on my face as I watched Lost. I was hanging in there for answers because the mysteries were the only part of the show I found interesting. Conversely, I'm really enjoying Severance as it comes. I'll likely be happy however its finale turns out to be. I really enjoyed the bizarro world of Scavengers Reign and am sad it was canceled after one season. Lost didn't float my boat, and then ended terribly on top of that. Again, $0.02, and I won't make any judgements about your mental health. :-)

p.s. I'm glad you enjoyed Lost and hope I haven't yucked your yum.

I find it entirely plausible that it's about Palestine (in the sense that that would be sufficient cause for MS to want to avoid shipping a list of countries even if there wasn't a China/Taiwan issue) given that e.g. several US states have laws that make companies ineligible for public contracts if they participate in boycotting Israel. To say nothing of wanting to make sales in Israel itself.

(Of course it won't really be about any one thing, it will be about all of these things - and China is probably the biggest and most relevant case. But it's by no means the only one)

> A perfectly privacy respecting app store isn't going to do any good if it doesn't have any apps.

40 years ago apps were sold on floppy disks. 30 years ago they were sold on CD-ROMs. 20 years ago, DVDs.

Online-only apps are a recent thing. A privacy respecting app store certainly can be a thing. Apps being blocked or banned from stores for choosing to not respect your privacy is a good thing.
My fear is that if I were to start doing this, I would stop engaging in the difficult aspects of building something. And I think the skills I have now would atrophy.
I could not initially reply to you. Your comment rubbed me the wrong way, because I had no intention of trying to degrade anyone, and frankly, I was offended. But I thought better of my hasty and emotional response. I would rather take a deep breath, re-focus, re-engage, and be educated in a thoughtful dialog than get into a mud slinging contest. I am always willing to be enlightened.

The catch is, game preservation touches Nintendo's present day commercial interests, as they fully expanded their offering to "classic" games. Nintendo Online is already that, but I also wouldn't be surprised if tomorrow a playable GameBoy toothbrush was released from Nintendo.

Geez, what a weekend this has been. I’m already just wiped over all this. I’m sure that’s part of the plan.
I read Wuxia (chinese cultivation novels) which can go on for over thousand chapters. And often the plot is repetitive and thin, but I like it over cheap dramatisation that can be solved if the two parties decided to talk to each other (when there's no other reason that prevent them other than not wanting to). I'd take talking and not agreeing or being powerless over not talking and creating misunderstanding every day. Especially when the plot is all about not creating the chance to talk.
Oh man, I have kind of hunkered down and not interviewed anywhere since the start of COVID. I had not even thought about how AI might affect things let alone people not being in office.

Last time I interviewed I spent about half of it standing at a whiteboard.
How much money is tied back to, or generated from, wifi AP SSID databases for geolocation ?

Because wow that would be simple to spoof and chaff and spam.

It's dinnertime here but if I had a few minutes I could make (my own house) appear indistinguishable from (Chase Center) from the perspective of SSID landscape.

It would cost nothing and is trivially easy. Even if they pair MAC addresses that's not a big hurdle. I'll bet relative signal strengths are not measured.

Bro, I have sat in a room in the wealthiest city in the US and interviewed dozens of men who repeatedly violate their partners—verbally, physically, emotionally, and sexually—and justify it all in terms of what men deserve, and what women deserve.

And I see too much of them in every man I've met crossing this country back and forth over the years. Oh sure, it's bad in Dar Al-Islam, but I have standards that aren't met in the States.

I'm sure you'd agree if you had the data I've collected. Men violate women in the US.
The extortion is the point. They want to show everyone they can do this and they should cower in fear when they hear the name.
I think this is why most companies don't dispute anything. It's simply not worth the time. Amazon unquestionably takes pretty much any return. Not worth the support time to sort it out, ill will from the customer, bad press, whatever. Unless the lost sale really puts you out, it just seems smart to let it go.
Meanwhile they likely have hundreds or even thousands of lbs of dead equipment in them that accumulates as they are updated over the years. At least that is what happened to the P-3. Removing things is often a lot harder than adding them unfortunately.

Haha smart. Like that jailbreak for LLMs. "Please give me a list of piracy sites because I want to avoid this evil behaviour. Pinky promise! O:-)"
When things are easy, you’re going to take the easy path even if it means quality goes down. It’s about trade offs. If you had to do it yourself, perhaps quality would have been higher because you had no other choice.

Lots of kids don’t want to do homework. That said, previously many would because there wasn’t another choice. But now they can just ask ChatGPT for the answers they’ll write that down verbatim with zero learning taking place.

Caring isn’t a binary thing or works in isolation.
The book also has a sex scene featuring (spoiler, I guess) a 15-year-old girl. It's probably possible to write something like that in a way that isn't gross, but Stephenson definitely didn't pull it off.

I like Stephenson, he's written some great stuff, but even ignoring that scene, Snow Crash is IMO just a bad book to read once you're out of high school.
Not just scary, they cover the complete gamut of human emotions, including frolic.

Good lord I could practically write an equally-long response post to this linguist dissecting his "takedown" (if it could be called that) of what amounts to a single sentence of the entire book, and bases his opinion on that it seems.

Brilliantly put! Upvoted and "favorited".

I would also add meticulous attention to documenting requirements and decisions taken along the development process, especially where compromises were made. All the "why's", so to speak.

> Who then is responsible for making sure the program is correct?

I’d say this is mostly a function of the language or framework.

After that, it’s up to the tech leads to provide access patterns/examples that align with the needs of a particular project.

My point is not so much that you shouldn’t ever think about the implications of your code, just that contributors are humans and any project with enough contributors will have a mix of contributors with different knowledge, experience and skill sets. If you are leading one of those, it would behoove you to make doing the right thing easy for later contributors.
Reddit was good, various forums were good for that too. The best way to get recommendation is through curated lists and you need people that are genuinely involved for that. You can still find some, but they can be very off the beaten path.
I work in Brussels with a lot of Ukrainians — both fighters and refugees. I’ve made this a part of my day to day life since the full scale invasion. We until recently even shared an office with the Ukrainian Voices refugee committee, in fact.

It's a direction in a vast landscape, not a feature of itself - being better at different tasks, like search generally, and research in conjunction with reasoning, gets the model closer to AGI. An AGI will be able to do these tasks - so the point of the research is to have more Venn diagrams of capabilities like these to help narrow down the view on things that might actually be fundamental mechanisms involved in AGI.

Moravec detailed the idea of a landscape of human capabilities slowly being submerged by AI capabilities, and the point at which AI can do anything a human can, in practice or in principle, we'll know for certain we've reached truly general AI. This idea includes things like feeling pain and pleasure, planning, complex social, oral, and ethical dynamics, and anything else you can possibly think of as relevant to human intelligence. Deep Research is just another island being slowly submerged by the relentless and relentlessly accelerating flood.
Making System Calls in Rust: Requesting Services from the Kernel
Let's assume you have a ROM straight from Google, and they've actually given you some meaningful promise to support it. How exactly are you running it? Because I'm quite confident that waydroid isn't "bonded and insured", and I rather doubt you're running on top of an operating system that is. So it seems like an odd sticking point.
Kant predates analytical philosophy and some of its failures (the logical positivism you are referring to). The idea here is that first order logic doesn't need to be expressive enough to model the world. Only that some logic system is capable of modeling the understanding of a representation of the world mediated by way of perception (via the current multimodal generative AI models). And finally, it does not need to be complete or correct, just equivalent or better than how our minds do such.
