I agree we'll have AGI/ASI in the next 100-200 years, probably the next 10.

I'm not sure about "Humans will not exist in a million years from today" in [1] though. We've been quite good at preserving interesting species.

> I'd expect the application itself to have a clear-cache option or for it to do it automatically from time to time.

Android has this. Though, the reason they included a "cache partition" back in the day was to make sure there was always enough space to download flash system.img over-the-air (as wiping clean the cache partition would provide enough room).
This is unfortunately my take with almost every interaction I had with the Rust community. Expressing any diverging opinion is enough to get ostracized.
No one should be allowed to develop software that has bugs in it that lead to unlawful harm to others. And if they do it anyway they should be punished lawfully.

The thing with autonomous AI is that we already know it cannot be made safe in a way that satisfies lawmakers who are fully informed about how it works… unless they are bribed, I suppose.
You could do this with a nicer cli library, so you could show the checklist and running output of each stage, which would be nice regardless of what steps are automated.

My main issue with that is that a do nothing shell script is so easy to get started with that it's hard not to complete it, and your efforts may be better used automating one of the steps. You may get lost in a fun but not that productive quagmire of which TUI library and how to structure everything.
Project author here -- happy to elaborate on anything; a continuous WIP project. The biggest insight has been limitations of vision models in spacial awareness -- see https://github.com/awwaiid/ghostwriter/blob/main/evaluation_... for some sketchy examples of my rudimentary eval.

Next top things:

* Continue to build/extract into a yaml+shellscript agentic framework/tool

* Continue exploring pre-segmenting or other methods of spacial awareness

* Write a reSvg backend that sends actual pen-strokes instead of lots of dots

They don’t want to pay another 1.5% tax. I guess if you’re kinda rich but not super rich you can’t avoid taxes the way super rich do. So this just pisses them off because they are just upset with taxes. I dunno if I made that much money seems like it wouldn’t be that big of a deal but I’ll never know. lol. It is just one city doing it and for just that city. I can see their point and maybe if the tax was smaller and applied to everyone we could all contribute but with the cost of living so high and how helpful preschool is for working families … people just don’t seem to like to help strangers that are worse off in America. It’s Everyman for themselves and their immediate family.

> subject upstream rust code to persistent bullying

I don’t remember seeing this bullying accusation in your original comment. Was it edited in?

Regardless, the “bullying” happened on both sides. Hector Martin started the social media brigading and quit when he couldn’t get his personal enemy suspended for CoC violations. Jonathan Corbet wrote a letter naming and shaming maintainers, in the guise of a report.

All in all, I agree with the GP. Most of the arguments against (even temporary) forking feel like excuses for a lack of will and a maybe even a lack of ability. The space is open for a fork.
C# dev kit is completely optional. The debugger, language server integration and all the other features that you'd expect ship with the base C# extension.

Ah, I'm not sure exactly what I believe here, but this kind of torrenting is obviously illegal-- I'm personally split on how I feel about it morally, because some of these people really are trying to preserve knowledge, and I think that's commendable, at the same time, commercial piracy is something which really does screw over authors with it being some kind of theft-of-service type thing where people exploit other people's work-- and if they felt that the work had no value they could have written another text themselves.

I only really wanted to convey that I believed that it probably isn't obviously easy for Meta to get away with anything in this, even if the US government decides to be lenient for the sake of a high market-cap US company simply because other countries are a viable place to sue as well.

I think I misinterpreted your comment as that you thought that Meta thought that costs would be low because they imagined a US court system that simply ignored the illegality because it's they who committed it, when nothing like that is actually implied in your comment.
I’ve lived in NYC, and I’ve lived in other places that gave me a much different view on how to validate people’s experiences. I view all of my NYC friends and unenlightened philisters in this respect and you are acting just like them.

You are aiming to spark introspection by talking about the nice day to day experience, at the expense of the not nice experiences based on a difference in perceived frequency. But this is all for pride.
At some point we’ll switch to mileage taxes, which make more sense for infrastructure upkeep. Gas taxes were only ever a rough proxy for “how much do hou use roads and bridges.”

Because of iPod (because iPod already has quite a bit of market share).

Actually, iPhone is much more than just that.

No, of course being first mover does not alone guarantee success.

I really hate the inclusion of a "FastException" and "UnsafeUtils" class.

Many developers will consistently make the wrong choice thinking their complex (but cold) execution path needs to be extra sleek and fast. But the reckoning comes during debugging (most likely by somebody else) where you have extra levels of indirection and non-expected violations of typically default behavior.
> "In the US..."

I'm sorry, but your idea of how the US works is a complete fairytale. You need to get a serious reality check on how the US actually works in real life. The law in the US is applied selectively (depending on the profiles involved, severity of case, political backdrop, etc). There's plenty of corruption, misaligned incentives, and corporate meddling. I can't count the number of cases from the past 30+ years that demonstrate this.
Rust is sadly more about marketing than actually being popular or safe.

That stackoverflow survey rust folks so proudly crow about shows it’s the #1 ‘admired’ language, well #2 was closure and Zig over the years which clearly shows the value of the survey. Just marketing slop.

The rust produces safe code claim is also marketing garbage. The rust standard library has over 7.5k (of 35k) unsafe functions in it. The core library has 7K (of 21k) unsafe functions. So any Rust program that claims not to have “unsafe” code is most likely not true since any program that doesn’t use the standard library is a toy.

> It does seem

And therein lies all the problem. The verification required for serious work is likely orders of magnitude more than anybody is willing to spend on.

For example, professional OCR companies have large teams of reviewers who double or triple review everything, and that is after the software itself flags recognition with varying degrees of certainty. I don't think companies are thinking of LLMs as tools that require that level of dedication and resources, in virtually all larger scale use cases.
Let me know if you need any help, I think only one other person has tried to get this working. I'm over on the reMarkable discord server, https://discord.gg/u3P9sDW (linked from https://github.com/reHackable/awesome-reMarkable)

You can’t really put the UK surveillance state on a political left right axis though. Its an orthagonal trend where various Britains have always been trying to monitor each other for various purposes and that’s why it grows and grows. At least that’s how it looks to me as an outsider.
There is an open source reimplementation (or two?)

I thought I used this one:

and everything just worked, though the directions on that page look complicated, so it might be the wrong project. It was in the store that ships with the open source build and was definitely open source.
I’m saying going out of your way to get people from a specific organization that you are also a member of hired where you work, is cronyism.

Also, going out of your way to hire people of specific skin color where you work, is racism.

There is an important distinction between blatant disregard for the law like you would see in authoritarian countries and this trying to twist the letter of the law into allowing something that it wasn’t intended to allow. Both are bad of course, but the latter shows some fear of the checks and balances. Being nefarious is much more expensive if you fear the courts, and have to spend time and effort circumventing it. Trumps recent behavior shows none of this fear of the courts. Even if the courts overturn the executive orders, much of the damage has already been done.
The only thing I think that makes my resume as a student appealing is having real-world projects that show I can meaningfully develop. I'd need similar for GenAI, I'd imagine.

Are you not counting the Surfside (Miami) condo collapse?

Also since it talked about the leaning tower of Pisa: the Civic tower in Pavia (1989) and original Campanile in Venice (1902), probably more examples like that.
Totally agree. I'm surprised that the new scala-cli is almost not mentioned at all in other comments. To me this is a game changer and the best in class. I don't think I've seen anything that comes close to its power and ease of use in other programming language SDKs.

Literally to make it able to be serialized by Java.

There are many legitimate applications for Java serialization which do not suffer security concerns. You should never expose serialization for public APIs but that leaves private APIs and private storage systems (think message queues, disk caches, internal RPC, etc).

For private serialization, Java serialization has many advantages over something like JSON. You can serialize object graphs without concern for cycles. The contract is simple (it serializes fields, as opposed to dealing with weird bean naming conventions). It handles types and structures automatically. `transient` is built into the language. Polymorphism just works.

We use it heavily for ephemeral storage. It's great.
Yeah, I started to incorporate this into my own work.

Like, sometimes you can automate 99% of a procedure, except like putting a secret into an so-far not automated secret management solution, or running a terraform apply that requires access to something that's not accessible from the automation just yet.

Instead of giving up there, I now just go ahead and insert e.g. an `ansible.builtin.pause` with clear instructions to the user what to do, and when to continue the play. This might not be gloriously fully automated (yet), but it is so much better than having to do the other 12 things manually.

Similar, we have "standard plays", which are just shell scripts to invoke ansible in some specific way. But those have started to accrue some user guidance and some do-nothing instruction steps as well. The database creation script asks you if you've added the database in the three other places upon startup, since it'd fail otherwise. Or a disk resize standard play asks you if you need to resize the disk on a failover cluster as well now?

I would like to have these things fully automated, but having these simple scripts as guidance for admins is surprisingly valuable.
Generally if I can read my handwriting then it can! It has no issues with that. Really the problem is more in spacial awareness -- it can't reliably draw an X in a box, let alone play tic-tac-toe or dots-and-boxes.

Where are the costs then? Is it the MRI that costs $1000?
A really important application of reproducible builds is running code inside Secure Enclaves that has been committed to on a public transparency log. A client can connect to a remote secure enclave that can then prove to the client that it’s running the commit code via a process known as remote attestation. It’s pretty cool stuff. However it’s only possible if the build inside the enclave is reproducible (deterministic) and always identical to the build on the transparency log
If I had to guess, antirez was describing engineering managers and tech leads that have (mis)read “clean code” or similar works, and take them as commandments from on high rather than tools and approaches that may be helpful or applicable in some circumstances.

Or, more generally, the fact that most of what the software industry produces is much more in line with “art” than “engineering” (especially when looked at from a Mechanical Engineer or Civil Engineer). We have so much implementation flexibility to achieve very similar results that it can be dizzying from the standpoint of other engineering fields. consider

> Java's built-in serialization is fundamentally vulnerable and should never be used

If you added "...for public APIs" then I would agree. But that represents only a tiny portion of the use cases for serializing objects. Java serialization excels at many of them.

The entire exercise seems wildly impractical. I wouldn't advocate for it, but the audaciousness is what makes it stimulating to consider. Maybe other posters will give us some contrarian arguments. A popular one is to reduce the risk of human extinction.
I would probably expect to have some stark differences, most likely around power consumption.

> "CCP did not invade Iraq, Libya, Afganistan, bomb Syria or support the Palestinian Genocide."

1. There has been no genocide in Palestine.

2. CCP meddles in other countries to equal if not worse degrees - both militarily and politically/economically. Routinely imprisons and erases millions of own citizens. Works to annex territories that aren't part of China (today). Funds and arms Russia, Iran, Syria...

I believe GP misspoke or misremembered and is referring to GDI, not drivers. GDI is the original Windows 2d graphics interface, widely used for drawing UI.

For performance reasons it lived in the NT kernel, together with the Window manager (which also draws windows using GDI).

Vista moved to a compositing window manager, I believe that was the point when GDI moved fully into userspace, drawing into the new per-window texture buffer instead of directly to the screen. And of course Windows 7 introduced Direct2d as the faster replacement, but you can still use GDI today.

Tinny cellphone speakers play noisy, low-fidelity speech audio captured with a mic that's likely clipping and compressing the caller's voice (audio-wise, not data-wise, although that too is happening and likely doesn't help). Actual people speaking is broad-band, has full fidelity and dynamics, and is directional and context sensitive
The limitations for the reMarkable made it so that I took a screenshot and then injected input events to interact with the proprietary drawing app. Cross-app screenshots with the right permission are probably possible on Android, I'm not sure about injecting the drawing events.

The other way to go would be to make a specific app. I just picked up an Apple Pencil and am thinking of porting the concepts to a web app which so far works surprisingly well ... but for a real solution it'd be better for this Agent to interact with existing apps.
It is still a good thing that they had to spend so many extra resources hiding. It means at least some of the checks and balances were imposing a cost on bad behavior.

This article says more research is necessary and I cannot read their methods so it is a bit disinegous to cite this as some kind of proof. Especially when the article says early education programs vary in content. Tennessee has one of the worst school systems in the US, #41:

As others have mentioned, this kinda misses a "category" filter that is not just a search. I would suggest using the osm database for this (e.g. via overpass). If the data is good (depends on the location), this is better than just a keyword search.
