> Like, what more do you want from them?

You know what we want from them. If Apple wants to be accepted by the Open Source community, they can't reprise the Microsoft playbook with a smug "Think Different" twist. This is basically a beat-for-beat rerun of the C#/Dotnet situation with a different font and Corinthian leather.

The internet at-large is sick and tired of tending to Apple's scraps at their obscure whims. If you are a developer that isn't already implicated to use Swift for iOS development, you'd be wasting your time doing Cupertino's work bringing up their language for them. They do not care, and only want to exploit your time and productivity like they do with the App Store. Much like C#, this is a scenario where everyone but the main benefactor will be thrown under the bus.
If they had high instrumental rationality, they would be effective at achieving their goals. That doesn’t seem to be the case - by conventional standards, they would even be considered "losers": jobless, homeless, imprisoned, or on the run.
This is headline news stuff for the past two weeks. Nobody needs to cite it.
I don't believe that is a one party issue. Life is messy and politicians attempt to smooth that over with grandiose, but hollow, visions for the future and data points taken out of context to paint a picture.

It's a fundamental problem of scale, you either become so bogged down in details and nuance that you get nothing done or you lose so much context that your statements are false without a massive list of caveats.
Java 8 will be supported until 2032 if you pick the right distro, and that distro comes with zstd in the repos (if not pre-installed).

And if your system is so old that you don't have access to eight-year-old software, I don't see why the rest of the world needs to accommodate you. Sticking with weird and old software is fine, but that comes with the risk of having to deal with everyone else moving on.
I asked it to go on seloger.com, to find "some flats on paris below 400k".
It went on some specific district of Paris, and didn't put a price citeria then responded how I could do it myself.

I then asked to create a CSV of the first 100 flats corresponding to my criteria, it created only 3 entries, purely hallucinated.

Who cares about the NFL? The issue here is that, and mark my words this almost this exact conversation will play out in the very near future:

Scientists: X number of people died of Covid in the US according to CDC data.

US Government: you can't prove that number. That data doesn't exist on government servers, the data in the copies is fake and can't be trusted.

Trump isn't literally Mussolini, and he isn't even personally a fascist, just a political opportunist with no principles- but the movement he is part of literally fits the entire first paragraph of the Wikipedia article to a T.
I have a Radeon 7900 XTX 24GB and have been using the deepseek-r1:14b for a couple days. It achieves about 45 tokens/s. Only after reading this article did I realize that the 32B model would also fit entirely (23GB used). And since Ollama [0] was already installed, it as as easy as running: ollama run deepseek-r1:32b

The 32B model achieves about 25 tokens/s, which is faster than I can read. However, the "thinking" time is mostly a lower quality overhead taking ~1-4 minutes before the Solution/Answer

You can view the model performance within ollama using the command: /set verbose

interesting, i could see that happening... one does wonder to what end ai is being developed so aggresively.

> our existence in peril due to forces out of our control

i think i understand what you are saying

while its a different thing i think there are already a lot of systems in the world that collectively slipping out of our control, even if nominally we have agency (see climate change, or social media, market bubbles etc)

just my personal bias, but i feel that if ai "takes over" so-to-speak its in a long line of succession of our technologies controlling us instead of the other way around... idk does that make sense? probably im not contributing much to this conversation; just my thoughts...
I think that number is very small, most know and don’t care, even take glee in it.

What do you mean, "time"? It's automated.
What you describe (doing basic market analysis) is pretty much unrelated to 'rationality.'

'Rationality' hasn't really made any meaningful contributions to human knowledge or thinking. The things you describe, are all products of scientists and statisticians, etc...

Bayesian statistics is not rationality. It is just Bayesian statistics... And it is mathematicians who should get the credit not less wrong!!

Removing these records from the public internet could likely be considered illegal under the OPEN Government Data Act, 44 U.S.C. § 3506:

> (d) With respect to information dissemination, each agency shall—
(3) provide adequate notice when initiating, substantially modifying, or terminating significant information dissemination products;
(4) not, except where specifically authorized by statute—
(A) establish an exclusive, restricted, or other distribution arrangement that interferes with timely and equitable availability of public information to the public;
(B) restrict or regulate the use, resale, or redissemination of public information by the public

If these datasets were actually permanently deleted then the incident should be investigated by NARA [1]. The people responsible could be charged with a crime under 18 U.S.C. § 2071:
> (b) Whoever, having the custody of any such record, proceeding, map, book, document, paper, or other thing, willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, falsifies, or destroys the same, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both; and shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States. As used in this subsection, the term “office” does not include the office held by any person as a retired officer of the Armed Forces of the United States.

Numbers alone will always lack context. You can absolutely verify where the numbers came from, weren't altered, and the math was done right. What you can't do is verify the numbers alone accurately portray what was happening in the real world, or what has happened in the real world since the snapshot of those numbers was taken.

Numbers are extremely useful, but numbers alone mean absolutely nothing.

Insomnia creator has a new one called Yaak that is open source.
Market helps take care of that!
It does though. It requires federal employees to not behave in an arbitrary and capricious manner. It requires them to move slowly when arbitrary and capricious policies come down. Go read the case law. They can't just to be told to start denying people something because the President wants it so, unless the authorization for what they are doing allows the President that sort of authority. They very much can and should follow the actual law and policies, not 'what the President wants'. What you are talking about is a banana republic, not the USA executive branch as it has worked since the 1940s.

Swift announced Linux support in 2015 when it went open source. Aspects of parity have taken years, and the Objective-C interop that isn't relevant outside Apple platforms but made adoption take off at all occupied a lot of early effort, but every Swift talk at FOSDEM today was about embedded or Linux server applications, or platform-agnostic C++ and Java interop.

The second amendment is a prohibition on the government, so it is not a right to be exerted, but rather a natural right that is not to be inhibited.

Guerrilla warfare has proven time after time that you should not assume the larger-numbered, better-equipped party will automatically win this type of scenario.
This isn't a new problem unfortunately. Data and research during the pandemic response was being horribly mishandled, largely by the Democrats at the time.

This isn't a one party or one person problem. It sure seems like a problem more correlated with our government structure and/or climate, or authority structures themselves.

Your automatic backups may actually be corrupted by random bit flips. Happens quite a lot with ZFS NAS systems where the admin forgot to set up a scrub job and still uses incremental backups.

Any read or write could fail for a multitude of reasons. The chance of an entire file being lost is rather small, but it's still an edge case that can happen in the real world if the FS flips to read only at just the wrong time. Hell, on platforms like macOS, you can't even assume fsync returning success will actually write floating data to storage!

any violence that is adjacent to rationalism will see a media response like this and a healthy dose of astroturfing to support it. the cia is very eager to make rationalists persona non grata because they provide a cultural nucleation point for anti-AI sentiment. they want to suppress these ideas so that our victory in the AI arms race is secure — unhindered by pesky human rights nonsense. they killed suchir balaji, too.
IIRC dot is one of the characters that can't be discarded when checking local addr part (RFC 5322). So fubar@domain.tld and fu.bar@domain.tld are different addresses really. As far as I understand - it's a Gmail's team decision to configure local addr interpretation and allow `helloworld@gmail.com` and `hello.world@gmail.com` to be treated as the same address.
I'd expect that dot trick rarely works anywhere outside of gmail world.

+ sign is part of the standard (`atext` token, RFC 5322), so sites, which disallow it in address are doing it wrong.
The fact, that industry adopted a practice of using everything after + sign as a "tag" is not captured anywhere so this creates even more mess in already messy space (e.g MS followed GSuite in this too and added subaddressing - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/recipients-in-exc...)

I have nothing against completions being configurable or extensible, but only about not having a reasonable default set of capabilities shipped with the system and having to depend on extensions of various qualities and states of completion and which may further depend on other 3rd party components to provide such a core functionality for modern work.
Interesting, from 3 different jobs, all of them needed FFI. The first one was using C#. The second was Swift and Java (android). The current one is Java, NodeJS, C#, Python, Go.

This tends to happen when you want to write common shared libraries that are business critical and want one implementation only or when the library exist but in another language.
> AFAIK under EU law only blatant copies are an infringement

Laws generally don't encode what is right but a compromise between the state's interests, lobbyists and the general population making enough ruckus if too unsatisfied.

> But in the end how different is that to how humans create?

1) Scale. Some strategies that are socially acceptable when done by individuals but not when done at a massive scale. For example because individuals have very limited time and can invest very limited effort. Looking at a website is perfectly OK. Making thousands of requests a second might be considered an attack. Human memory is limited. Similar principles apply to humans looking at code.

2) Source of data. Much of human "input" is viewing the real world (not copyrighted material) through their senses. Much of learning is from teachers or documentation, both of which voluntarily give me information.

I don't know about you but when I wanna know how to use a particular function, I don't go looking through random GH repos to see how other people use it, I go to the docs.

> finding laws to empower all creators and not only those who were hired by deep pockets

That is not even the only issue. When I publish something under AGPL, my users have the right to modify the code, even if my code gets to them through some third party. LLMs allow laundering code and taking that right from (my) users.

I think the problem there is the powers granted to government rather than how today's people decide to wield it.

Facts are never really decided, things can always change if we learn something new or just consider what we know from a different angle.

The problem here is that anyone in charge can decide what they believe is fact and make very real, very impactful changes that they force on everyone else.
Most ‘samurai swords’ on the market are barely-functional wall-hangers. And the article describes it as a stabbing. Curved swords are actually quite hard to effectively stab with, so it’s hardly surprising that an untrained user using a poor-quality weapon incorrectly couldn’t cause a lethal wound.

Data is always lacking. More data may help you be more confident in your conclusion, but it will never be certain.
Sure, you can invent any explanation that you like. It just isn't more convincing than "the universe (or an outer universe giving birth to this one) was always there", since they solve exactly the same problem.

However, it probably doesn't pan out.

An energy star fridge uses about 400kWh/year. In pittsburgh, we have 5710 cooling degree days and 736 cooling degree days. Those cooling degree days are spread across about 4 months. So we only need to dump heat from the refrigerator about 1/3 of the time: 133kWh. With an A/C CoP of 5, that means that cooling the extra load from your fridge costs you about an extra 26kWh / year, or about $5.

On the heating side, it's actually better to heat the house from the fridge than to burn gas - you've basically got a heat pump system! Heat pumps are more efficient than direct heating. If you already have an efficient heat pump system this may not be as true but it probably comes out in the wash.

The physical modifications to the house would have to be very cheap to make this cost-effective -- and more penetrations through the house envelope create opportunities for leaks.
It is much the same thing, yes. The reality that I have experienced is that most Trump voters are decent people who simply disagree with me on the best way to solve the issues facing our country. Not at all a pack of hate-filled Nazis. But humans love to pick on their outgroup, so people simply round "Trump supporter" off to "Nazi bigot" and never bother to reflect that they are simply giving into tribalism.
I agree. If you hire someone, and they aggrieve someone in the course of their duties, your contractor is your agent and you're responsible for what they did. It makes no sense to treat AI any differently.
Given the preceding quote that she did not believe the terminations were lawful, that would be a complete reversal of her decision from days prior.

Phyllis Fong, a 22-year veteran of the department, had earlier told colleagues that she intended to stay after the White House terminated her Friday, saying that she didn’t believe the administration had followed proper protocols, the sources said.
In an email to colleagues on Saturday, reviewed by Reuters, she said the independent Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency “has taken the position that these termination notices do not comply with the requirements set out in law and therefore are not effective at this time.”
Fong declined to comment and the Office of the Inspector General did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
