I dunno, personally when I teach SQL to engineers, it’s not the syntax that is the main difficulty (yes it can be improved) but the relational data mental model that trips people up. They all want sequential data processing and loops. Translating that to vectorized code is the closest thing I got to help non-data people grok.

> if you expose the public to many different biased opinions and let them learn to recognize the biases [then good stuff]

Is that an assumption, or based on research?

Based on the last couple years of elections, I'd guess that exposing the public to every opinion ever makes people vote for the most catchy sound-bite. I don't follow american news enough to echo whatever people echo over there (perhaps "pro life"? Not sure that I have enough context on that one), but in the Netherlands one might recognize rhetorical statements like "do we want more or fewer muslims in this country?" from what is now the biggest party. We even have an organization that works out different parties' plans into expected economic impact per income group, but the resulting spreadsheet isn't very clickbaity and so I never heard anyone even be aware it exists. For a lot people it's simple: the foreigners use up all the benefits, jobs, and cause the high rent; if they would read reliable sources, however, they would see that the parties that don't try to stop immigration or leave the EU collaboration ("increase our independence" and fuck our tiny country's trade economy for decades) are the ones that yield the highest expected welfare across all income brackets

Of course, this (unfiltered opinions drowning out actual information) is also just my guess, I could very well be wrong. After all, I can't explain why we don't already live in a world where everything burns because such statements are the ones that get disproportionately echoed around. I'm just not sure that releasing the opinion floodgates further will make things better without indications thereof

> as if it was a business

Even among the folks who really do want to "run government like a business", the kinds of businesses they usually admire--large, publicly traded, with a CEO beholden to sharehodlers--are utterly different from the kind that Trump has inherited from his father.

Only kind of government Trump's business experience has prepared him for is running North Korea: A lifetime CEO on top who can't be removed, the ability to fire anybody on a whim, and sneaky power struggles between the kids for who will inherit when the old man finally strokes out.

... He's going to do a lot of damage to America trying to twist it into working that way.
A lot of people have these in their houses already. Go to Home Depot some time and you’ll see lots of heat pump water heaters.
AT&T had https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_Five_Crossbar_Switching... in 1947. It used relay-driven "markers" to set up a call that goes through various frames.

So it's entirely possible that somebody from the telephone industry decided to borrow a term of art from it for computing.

Godel proved that there are unprovable statements. Turing showed that certain classes of problems can only be solved by machines with infinite tapes. This no bounded LLM can possibly solve every turing complete problem. Only theoretically infinite chain of thought can possibly get us that power.

Godel then tells us that, if we have such a system, there are things where this system may get stuck.

Indeed this is what we see in chain of thought models. If you give them an impossible problem they either give up or produce a seemingly infinite series of tokens before emitting the </think> tag.

Turing tells us that examining any set of matrices modeling a finite state machine over an infinite token stream is the halting problem.
Who is making a statement about "most rationalists" here? The claim is about a trans vegan murder cult, which doesn't appear to be a natural member of the right side of the political spectrum.

I hate the other IDEs tbh

Yeah Xcode has its quirks but so does everything else. Nothing is perfect in this world.

What actually bothers me is Apple is now apparently trying to copy other IDEs (poorly) and making theirs worse for it.
E.g. the new commit view which is an atrocity. They had something buggy yes, but at least decent. Now they have something buggy AND with a terrible UX.

WARNING: The Post Millennial is an extremist website.

I can’t believe that getting “news” about an extremist group from another extremist organization is a productive way to make sense of the world.

Honestly, read whatever you want but just be aware that radical extremist exist and commit horrific crimes and other radical extremist will exploit that.

It is radical extremism that’s dangerous in and of itself—not just a particular brand of radical extremism.

Carry on.
The thought process is basically like asking it to think in French. Same training data LOL
In the original code, it stores through q.

In the optimized example:

*(char*)iq = 10 -> *(char*)(uintptr_t)(p + 1) = 10

After that optimization pass, there is no store to q. C assumes that you can not store to a different object without doing out-of-bounds pointer arithmetic and that out-of-bounds pointer arithmetic is illegal, therefore it assumes that q is not stored during that store.

The problem is that the optimizer replaced a plain store through q with a illegal out-of-bounds pointer arithmetic store (because it was sneakily done in non-pointer land). That causes the "safety" checking (that can check less because of that invariant) to be insufficient. The problem is not leaking q, it is blindly replacing a legal construct with an "illegal" construct.

The specific problem here being the pointer cast which turned a integer into a pointer. You have no clue where that points to without analyzing the value of that integer. As such, the assumption should be: "can store anywhere, all loads everywhere in the program are suspect" when that occurs. You can then utilize pointer provenance to prove that "no, we do know where this can point to, the optimization/caching party is back on".

Leaking did not occur because they saved the address of q. "Leaking" occurred because they cast a integer to a pointer which can "leak" a pointer to literally anything.
Absolutely. That begs the question though, if Trump has ordered federal employees to make the government efficient and eliminate the weaponization of government, are those employees not obligated to remove Trump and Musk from their current roles?
Gotta remember, this is the sloppiest it will ever be.

>> Not every person who voted for Trump wants the crazy

Crazy is literally his brand. Voters can choose to rationalize this if they like, but voting and hoping doesn't seem like a good strategy to me.

>> just want better pay and cheaper consumer goods and thought Trump was more likely to deliver than Harris.

Given that he ran on setting tarrifs its hard to see that bringing prices down. But hey, maybe they will.

Trump is the most transparent politician ever. There's no guile here. That's apparently his appeal. He says whatever he likes, will grift at every opportunity, commits crimes in plain sight, is a convicted felon, is completely transactional and holds a grudge.

Make no mistake- people voted for this. They may not -want- it, but there's no deception here. How can people possibly be surprised?
I have some questions. First, do pointers that do not come from specifying a statically sized array also have provenance? That is if I say `char* c; size_t n = get_user_input(); c = malloc(n);` does c have provenance? If after the above I created an array like so `char str[n]` and then assigned such that it pointed to the same region of memory that malloc() returned, then would the provenance of both pointer be equal?

Also, in Rust why are pointer to integer casts allowed at all if they lose provenance?

Also, why exactly is one past end of bounds a valid pointer you can calculate?

Also, it seems like you cannot just create a random pointer to an unallocated address, not just that you can’t write to it. Is that correct?

Lastly, is provenance just a fancy way of saying metadata? Is there a reason something like “pointer metadata” or “object metadata” wasn’t used?

I read the Bhagavad Gita a few years ago, and this quote is much of the core lesson that I took away from it. It's one of the most impactful texts I have ever read.

I would take 'duty' in this context to refer not to your obligation to your employer, but rather to people your work is ultimately intended to serve, your coworkers, and perhaps also to yourself. If you've prioritized your efforts well, then you won't regret failure or gettin laid off, because you did the best you could given the information available to you at the time.
Sorry yes I meant modem
We've been using it at work for a few years. A cli tool, builds in about 6 minutes. We compile it to Linux, Mac ARM and Mac Intel. You're correct about configuring libraries but I found those to be the minority. Most work without configuration. I do this because I will not use Golang if given a choice and Rust is not allowed.
> This guy is going to destroy your country, and it's absolutely mind-boggling people are cheering him.

He was already president for four years, and the next four years were so bad for the world and the US that he was asked to come back overwhelmingly. Or it could just be because the Republicans run democratic primaries that party leadership can't just overrule or turn into a mockery, and the Democrats don't.

Try flipping the order, adding a few nonsense steps and combining 2 steps into one and also splitting a single step into two. And then see what happens and post it here. :-)
The main thesis here seems to be that LLMs behave like almost all other machine learning models, in that they are doing pattern matching on their input data, and short circuiting to a statistically likely result. Chain of thought reasoning is still bound by this basic property of reflexive pattern matching, except the LLM is forced to go through a process of iteratively refining the domain it does matching on.

Chain of thought is interesting, because you can combine it with reinforcement learning to get models to solve (seemingly) arbitrarily hard problems. This comes with the caveat that you need some reward model for all RL. This means you need a clear definition of success, and some way of rewarding being closer to success, to actually solve those problems.

Framing transformer based models as pattern matchers makes all the sense in the world. Pattern matching is obviously vital to human problem solving skills too. Interesting to think about what structures human intelligence has that these models don't. For one, humans can integrate absolutely gargantuan amounts of information extremely efficiently.
I do not agree with you.

What you are saying is that compiler must keep the variable ordering on the stack the same. That is the only way that `&(p+1) == &q` would hold consistently.

Now if we have `char p[1] = {0}; int a; char q[1] = {0};` the compiler cannot move p and q together so that a can properly aligned with less padding (I assume alignment is a concern on stack space as well?). The compiler also cannot do any loop invariant hoisting. It cannot remove any unused variables. Because all of them can change the behavior of the program just be existing. Any random pointer could have been aliasing one of those positions.

Every single optimisation would require full program analysis to determine whether something could possibly alias. And if you do any non trivial pointer arithmetic (after integer casting) or use user input in it, you lose that. Not just in that place but everywhere in the program.
Yes, we probably are using the word "choice" differently.
The people "optimizing" the industry by overworking air traffic controllers rely on this canned platitude being repeated ad nauseum. It makes people think that airplanes are magic and will continue to be safe even if ATCs never sleep and cheap contractors working for Boeing forget every screw on the airplane.

In case it helps you to have someone chime in besides the person you're arguing with, "You are not arguing in good faith" applies a lot more to "stop muddying the waters with your buffoonish rhetoric" and "What is this, the X Files? Vague allusions like this don't make you look wise" than to anything the person you're arguing with said. I don't know the answer to the point you're arguing and I can't tell who's right from this thread either (neither side posts sources or disproves the other side's central claim, from my point of view), but this isn't how to go about it
Of course they will affect Software or SAAS. We don't know how yet since retaliation tariffs have not all been finalised/levied yet. Remember tariffs are not just unilateral from the US.
That's because it uses a long CoT. The actual paper [1] [2] talks about the limitations of decoder-only transformers predicting the reply directly, although it also establishes the benefits of CoT for composition.

This is all known for a long time and makes intuitive sense - you can't squeeze more computation from it than it can provide. The authors just formally proved it (which is no small deal). And Quanta is being dramatic with conclusions and headlines, as always.

While the name bzip3 itself would be okay for reasons others stated, I still don't like it because it is so easy to confuse with bzip2 and may indicate a false relationship with bzip2 regardless of intents. A spiritual successor doesn't have to be named confusingly similar, after all.

Well, duh.
One must now ask whether research results are analyzing pure LLMs (eg. gpt-series) or LLM synthesis engines (eg. o-series, r-series). In this case, the headline is summarizing a paper originally published in 2023 and does not necessarily have bearing on new synthesis engines. In fact, evidence strongly suggests the opposite given o3's significant performance on ARC-AGI-1 which requires on-the-fly composition capability.
Tariffs on physical goods can be enforced during physical movement, e.g. a shipment crossing a border. Cross-border taxation of digital services is more complex. Canada introduced a unilateral DST (Digital Services Tax) in 2024, which the US is challenging under USMCA, https://www.canada.ca/en/services/taxes/excise-taxes-duties-...

This article claims that digital services are not subject to direct US tariffs, https://www.codemastersinc.com/post/impact-of-u-s-tariffs-on...

> DIGITAL SERVICES: While traditional industries face direct tariff impacts, digital services are also encountering challenges. Many Canadian tech firms provide software, consulting, and cloud-based solutions to U.S. clients. The uncertainty surrounding trade relations has led some American companies to reconsider long-term contracts with Canadian providers. Additionally, potential retaliatory measures from Canada could further complicate cross-border data exchange and intellectual property regulations. Despite these concerns, digital businesses may still have an advantage due to their ability to operate remotely and pivot towards new markets with relative ease.

In what way? I'm actually curious.
The 16 registers in RV32EC [1] on the CH32V003 is not a lot using the standard ABI once you take out the zero register, return address, stack pointer, globals pointer, and thread pointer [2] you're left with 11 registers, allocated as 6 function argument / local variable registers (caller cave), 2 callee save registers, and 3 temporary registers.

Empirically you need up to 20% more instructions executed vs the 32 register RV2I, which is also similar to what Intel reports with their new "APX" x86 extension giving 32 GPRs.

The 2k RAM also concentrates the mind more so than a 6502 or Z80 with 64k RAM.

[1] you can ignore the "C" for simplicity if you want

[2] which arguably you're not going to use for that purpose so it's effectively available too, most usefully as a 3rd callee save register.

It is responding with a structure of Tokens, and for each node in the structure, it is selecting appropriate tokens according to the context. Here, context means winnie the pooh in hex, so it responds with tokens that resemble that context. The censorship was for a very commonly used context, but not for all contexts.
