Just like many C code bases are stuck on C89, many Python in Python 2, Java in Java 8, .NET in .NET Framework,...

Not that every compiler is up to date, but at very least clang, gcc and vc++ have already quite good coverage of C++20, and clang/vc++ modules mostly work, good enough that I only use modules in my hobby projects.

It starts by projects, companies, actually wanting to adopt new toolchains.
I think your argument is spot on, but there is important context which can be revealed by doing the same list for assassination attempts. Trump is qualitatively different from these other people - it just isn't because he is famous and polarising.

And Vladamir Putin (0), seriously? Good luck to anyone who attempts to make a public accusation against him. There will be a fatal fall through a window in their future. He could have raped 200 women and nobody would say a thing.
This is why in the debate of : Are they fascists or idiots? I tend to come down on idiots.

Fascist can be idiots, of course, but they tend to glorify the military (per Eco). And thus far, these guys have shown that they are mostly going to just bumble around and be gloryhounds. Sure Donny like the pomp, but real fascists wouldn't be gutting the NNSA or the DoD. They'd be building it up and expanding it, even at this early stage.

The only 'but' I can think of is that they are going to gut the military, then build it back up with fellow nutters. Something that many admins (and countries!) have tried to do to the Pentagon, and have all failed at.

Still, assume stupidity, not conspiracy, per Hanlon's razor.
Isn't this job of CIA and the NSA to prevent this shit?

How many people work for Doge? It's only been a month, after all. From what I've seen, I assume from their limited staffing, they're moving from department to department, rather than attempting to look at all departments in the government at once. It's seems reasonable to target the military later, for PR and utilitarian reasons.
Imagine all those people overseas trying to unwind their foreign work/life.

Interesting, how are you remixing the order of questions? If we're talking about an academic benchmark like MMLU, the questions are independent of one another. Unless you're generating multiple answers in one go?

Do do synthetic data generation for custom application use cases. Such as RAG, summarization, text-sql, etc. We call this module the "synthesizer", and you can customize your data generation pipeline however you want (I think, let me know otherwise!).

Docs for synthesizer's here: https://docs.confident-ai.com/docs/synthesizer-introduction, there's a nice "how does it work" section at the bottom explaining it more.
> Autocomplete "bugs" abound aplenty

No, there's just the one "bug": browsers ignore autocomplete=off.

And, as you say, the browsers regard that not to be a bug, because when they honor developers request to prevent autocomplete, users keep filing bugs on the browsers, saying "why won't you autocomplete this??"

Put something descriptive in the autocomplete, instead of "off", and you're usually fine.

Consider the "State of HTML" survey of form pain points. https://2024.stateofhtml.com/en-US/features/forms/#forms_pai...

See also the "missing elements" section. https://2024.stateofhtml.com/en-US/usage/#html_missing_eleme...

An image cropper didn't make the list. Data table did! But it's pretty complicated, and, as I said, progress is slow. Partly that's for backwards compatibility reasons, and partly it's because you have to get Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Mozilla to all agree on anything, and that's really hard.

Autocomplete is on the list of pain points. But it's wayyy further down the list than having a customizable `<select>`. Styling & customization, validation, and `<input type=date>` are all bigger pain points than autocomplete.

N = 1, but I have friends in the US who lost their job because of the recent budget or grant cuts or whatever it was. They are very much non-tech normal people and considering options to emigrate. So yes, there are real people being affected by this.
This is exactly the insight that shifted me from being libertarian to progressive. Humans create organizations to coordinate behavior. Corporations are good for risk taking ventures, governments are good for social cooperation and coordination. Different purposes, time scales and objectives. Both are important and necessary. We should make them the best they can be.

Most people will hardly read what the LLM spits out after 3 hours of use and execute the code. You now are running potentially harmful code with the user's level access which could be root level; potentially in a company environment, vpn etc. It's really scary, because at first glance it will look 100% legitimate.

No, this is a message board canard. IQ tests are used at a variety of large companies with deep pockets for discrimination settlements. If there were real legal risks, that wouldn't be the case.
Until being pregnant carries absolutely no financial or social penalties (during or after), people who don't want to be pregnant will try to find ways to end it. Society can either provide safe, legal means, or women will die trying.
for problems where Jax works well, in theory there could be a great Julia equivalent, but in practice one has not emerged. instead every 3 or so years, a brilliant solo researcher writes an even better autograd library which is ultimately abandoned.

> If writing code is the easiest and least impactful thing you do as a software engineer...

Not sure if I've hit a nerve, but I never said it was the least impactful. Code is the distillation of all the work that precedes it to accomplish a task. It's the easiest part, but it's essential to the final solution in most circumstances.
The real waste is always produced by the folks who are exempt.
"Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered the military to prepare plans to make drastic budget cuts over the next five years, with an exception for border security, according to a new memo obtained by CNN.

The memo, dated Tuesday, calls for military leaders to provide a proposal for eight percent in budget cuts each year for the next five years."

Thanks for trying it!

You can draft emails and reply to threads as well, actually! And if you're unsure of what to say, you can throw some hints at the agent and it'll generate a draft in your tone of voice. (The agent analyzes your past emails to match your style.)

For your question: The providers (Vapi, Retell) handle the big pieces well. My framework/DSL sits on top, helping developers manage the conversation in TypeScript.

Quick example... When you start your first session, we spin up a 'worker agent' to figure out your name, then we say something nice, and display a personalized welcome message:

dataStore.userName = await aside(z.string(), this.emailText, `What is the user's first name?`);

prompt(`Say something nice about ${dataStore.userName}.`);
display(`Welcome to _Pocket_, ${dataStore.userName}.`);

The primitives are powerful. And the DSL makes it simple to wrangle conversational pathways. But my favorite part is that it's all just TypeScript, so you can use NPM packages to make your voice agents actually do things very easily.

It's very cool and I hope to share more in the future!
It's a good question that I don't have a good answer to.

Some folks have compared this to On Trusting Trust: https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rdriley/487/papers/Thompson_1984_Ref... -- at some point you just need to trust the data+provider
Acknowledged, but said maintainers need to learn to cope with the relentless advance of technology. Any software engineer with a long career needs to be able to do this. New technology comes along and you have to adapt, or you become a fossil.

It's totally fine on a personal level if you don't want to adapt, but you have to accept that it's going to limit your professional options. I'm personally pretty surly about learning modern web crap like k18s, but in my areas of expertise, I have a multi-decade career because I'm flexible with languages and tools. I expect that if AI can ever do what I do, my career will be over and my options will be limited.

Almost 30 years ago, the nutritionist Gary Null published books, had a show on Pacifica and so on. His basic message, I think, was that we should eat a diet that was less heavy on meats and processed foods. This is probably not wrong, but I thought him a bad influence on the household menus. I did object to his Pacifica show--he or somebody he had on mentioned "the Twinkie defense" not as a farce but as a plausible judgment; and he had some AIDS quack on, whose advice could only have been dangerous to the HIV-positive.

> If you have some specialized definition of socialism that this doesn’t meet.

I don't know that “when the working class democratically (either via democratic control of the state, through democratic control at the level of individual firms or industries, or otherwise) control the means of production” is actually a “specialized” definition of socialism.

Socialism is not centrally about the state providing goods, Its about who controls the means of production. Provision of public goods by the state is an expected outcome of the kind of socialism where a democratic state is the vehicle of proletarian control of the means of production, but it is not the production and delivery of those goods, independent of the nature of the state and who is empowered to control the means of production through it, that makes the system “socialist”

Führerprinzip is about as opposed to socialism as any element of any real or hypothetical system can be.
If they only had a dollar for every time any hacker made a comment on how great it is....

They're easy to spot too on account of them not being subject to shrinkflation like other products can. A dozen will be a fixed unit forever I imagine.
I've said this a dozen times here now, but the word "efficiency" doesn't really mean anything in isolation; "efficiency" only really makes sense if you define what you're optimizing for.

Since they don't really do that, they can then define the term to mean whatever they want and then declare it as "successful".
One weekend is enough to survey the general concepts. That’s extremely useful on its own, as now you have a better idea of how to orient yourself.
What's getting tiresome is the insane shit DOGE is pulling every day, not the submissions
They to have just enough government for them to extract as much wealth as possible. States rights is about them doing whatever they want without interference.

The US had a civil war that its defenders describe as being about "states' rights", with the most important right of all being the ability to literally own other people as property.

Make America Great Again is a about returning to those glory days.
Can someone explain what's the point of them staying up for many months beyond the original mission? If Musk offered to bring them down, why wasn't the offer accepted? Not that they need "rescuing", but still.
Dude, what is wrong with you? Tens of thousands of real, human people trying to support tens of thousands of real, human families. That's what your joke is about.
Instead of mDNS, they could update a DNS record for a subdomain (techno00.dev.thecompany.com, preferably under a different domain than your real one) to their local IP address and then do the DNS-01 challenge on LetsEncrypt to get a valid TLS cert for the subdomain. Then the only problem is some routers block DNS responses with RFC-1918 IP addresses, but everyone is using DoT/DoH by now, right? ... right?
"the front door and all windows are open, but don't worry. No one robbed the house yet so it's not a robbery "

I wouldn't discount such reckless vulnerabilities happening here. Any decent IT department would faint imagining the overtime needed to fix such issues.
I'd argue that he addresses this with the two paragraphs immediately preceding the one quoted above:

> As someone who has seen almost EVERY kernel bugfix and security issue
for the past 15+ years (well hopefully all of them end up in the stable
trees, we do miss some at times when maintainers/developers forget to
mark them as bugfixes), and who sees EVERY kernel CVE issued, I think I
can speak on this topic.

The majority of bugs (quantity, not quality/severity) we have are due to
the stupid little corner cases in C that are totally gone in Rust.
Things like simple overwrites of memory (not that rust can catch all of
these by far), error path cleanups, forgetting to check error values,
and use-after-free mistakes. That's why I'm wanting to see Rust get
into the kernel, these types of issues just go away, allowing developers
and maintainers more time to focus on the REAL bugs that happen (i.e.
logic issues, race conditions, etc.)

> I'm all for moving our C codebase toward making these types of problems
impossible to hit, the work that Kees and Gustavo and others are doing
here is wonderful and totally needed, we have 30 million lines of C code
that isn't going anywhere any year soon. That's a worthy effort and is
not going to stop and should not stop no matter what.

> But for new code / drivers, writing them in rust where these types of
bugs just can't happen (or happen much much less) is a win for all of
us, why wouldn't we do this?
It's a data breach because DOGE is a bunch of random people chosen by Elon Musk, who act arbitrarily and completely outside the law.
Yes, and they have threatened action against those they disagree with. We’ll see if they can get away with it, but something to resist very strongly.
Yeah, I don't see anything new here, I am guessing that OP just chanced across it.

This is not something that is very useful or relevant these days - it's basically abandoned at this point and only works with older versions of Python etc.

Searching around, it appears that the Coral USB Accelerator does about 4 TOPS.

The Raspberry Pi 5 AI Kit which costs a few bucks more (and came out last year instead of in 2020) does 13 TOPS.

The Jetson Orin Nano Super, which costs $250, does 67 TOPS, and was just updated last month (although it's a refresh of the original product).

I own all three of these products and they are all very frustrating to work with, so you need to have a very specific use-case to make them worthwhile - if you don't, just stick with your machine's GPU.
Pixel 9. Here's an example: GrapheneOS General is mirrored to Discord. Open both and start scrolling up. ElementX shows the spinner for 3 seconds at a time, Discord spins for 1/2 second or so. Go ahead and race them, it's not even close.

Another example: Matrix HQ is always notoriously slow. Just now I opened it and there are no messages ... none. No spinner. Just a note at the bottom saying "27 room changes." I waited for at least 10 seconds. Force quit the app, reload, and the messages are there.

What platform are you using that performs so much better than mine?
So less than half a day of trump golfing, huge work
It's even better if you have anything automated executing your tests and whatnot (like popular VSCode plugins showing a nice graphical view of which errors arise from where through your local repo). You could own a developer's machine before they had the time to vet the offending code.
The power rests with the office. There is an important but nuanced distinction there.

So "tcpdump as a service"? Why wouldn't I just generate my own pcap and stick it into wireshark or whatever I like for looking at packet captures? I'm having trouble seeing the value prop here.
Technically yes. I'd still be just as worried as a breach given the context though.
I am actually pretty sure that the thing described literally isn’t a real job, at least not working for a serious employer. I can’t imagine a company telling someone to sign contracts in a language they can’t speak and somehow try to make a sense of it.

Either it’s their own company and they’re doing something unwise, they are doing it without the knowledge of their superior or their company shouldn’t be trusted with anything.

The point was that „AI helps me translate the contracts I want to sign“ isn’t a good example of „AI increases my productivity“ because that’s not something you should ever do.
It's not about politics. It's fanatics who think the leader of their tribe needs them to defend him.
Youtuber @Thunderf00t claims that none of Musk's businesses are actually profitable. Musk is only rich because he traded his shares of a failing X.com (the bank) for Paypal shares in trade, mostly, for stopping to sabotage Paypal online, then did little or nothing at Paypal until Ebay bought him out. Tesla is losing money hand over fist, and disaster is turning to catastrophe with Musk's recent antics. SpaceX is losing money (and would be hemorrhaging money if not for US government spending). Starlink is losing money. Neuralink is losing money. Xai is losing money. The Boring company is bankrupt. X has lost at minimum 75% of it's value since Musk took over, and is running at a loss.

Musk's talent is not tech, and it's not "first principles" or anything like that. His talent is getting idiot investors to invest ... and not ask for their money back until it's far too late.

@Thunderf00t's latest video about the Starship crash: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0uFO6BjWSs

But the whole channel is interesting:

https://www.youtube.com/@Thunderf00t/videos

Thunderf00t's claim is that Musk is not taking over the government out of patriotism, but because his businesses are 100% dependent on continued government investment, because they're burning through investor cash. MASSIVE continued government investment.

The general theory being that Musk has dethroned Bernie Madoff as the biggest US fraudster ever, that this has already happened, but won't come out until fresh government money stops increasing, we just don't know it yet.
But my point in the end was that if a society believes abortion should be banned, they need to give social support. For example in Brazil, few people know but a mother can abdicate their child to Child Support Services. They do try their best to care and prepare them to adoption programs.
Doesn't seem to be a noticeable improvement from N64-era graphics.

It probably needs generative AI based upscaling to high resolution meshes, textures and realistic materials to actually achieve a quality improvement.

This sounds very strange. Element X on iOS is a native Swift UI app, and for me (even in an enormous account) it’s super snappy - similar to WhatsApp or Telegram or iMessage. It’s not Electron, which is only for desktop apps; is there a chance you’re mixing up Element X with Element Web/Desktop (which is still sluggish, but should get much-needed upgrades this year)?
