It's not just about security, it's about reliability too. If my program crashes because of a use-after-free or null pointer dereference, I'm going to be pissed off even if there aren't security implications.

I prefer Rust to C for all sorts of projects, even those that will never sit in front of a network.

Exactly, which is why I would want humans and LLMs to write maintainable code, so that I can review and maintain it, which brings us back to the original question of which programming languages are the easiest to maintain...
Waymo clearly stands out as an exception amongst all moonshots that Google went after. However, they don't seem to have that one axis advantage in Waymo. I can't believe they didn't double, triple down on their efforts to build a fully integrated car. Compared to Apple, they were at a much better position to do this because of all the underlying tech/models and research.

May be that's the problem - that there is no one rallying individual for Waymo. They should just spin it off and make it an independent private company and retain % ownership.

I somehow feel Google will be way better if it's run like Berkshire, the CEO just focuses on capital allocation and let's the managers do their jobs in their respective companies - YT, Waymo, search, cloud, deepmind.

I'm not sure that culture can dissipate in Google at this juncture.

Serious theorem-proving AIs always write the proof in a formal syntax where it is possible to check that the proof is correct without issue. The most popular such formal language is Lean, but there are many others. It's just like having a coding AI, it may write some function and you check if it compiles. If the AI writes a program/proof in Lean, it will only compile if the proof is correct. Checking the correctness of proofs is a much easier problem than coming up with the proof in the first place.

AI is undergoing a transition from academic research to industry engineering.

(But the engineers want the benefits of academic research -- going to conferences to give talks, credibility, intellectual prestige -- without paying the costs, e.g. actually sharing new knowledge and information.)
I do not think it's even innovator's dilemma.

Take chat, one of Google's biggest fumbles. They had a good thing with Gtalk. Really screwed things up with Hangouts (thanks, Vic!), added the weird Allo to the mix, almost turned things around, and then brought in Chat to compete with Slack as opposed to AIM...WhatsApp.

If they had just incrementally invested in chat, even if they swapped out back ends, they could have kept most of their user base, maybe even have grown it. Gchat was pretty popular, even during the rise of Facebook Messenger.

But they screwed around with the public-visible product side of things too much, and revealed their tech stack and org chart as product changes. There was no product-first, continuity-oriented planning.
This.

Yesterday I tried asking ChatGPT "Can an Amazon L6 software engineer afford a house in [location]", without explicitly using the search mode. It went to levels.fyi to look up salary and redfin to look up housing price (exactly how I would have done it myself), and gave me a reasonable answer that agrees with my own analysis, and is definitely much faster than clicking things around myself.

Mathematics is, IMO, not the axioms, proofs, or theorems. It's the human process of organizing these things into conceptual taxonomies that appeal to what is ultimately an aesthetic sensibility (what "makes sense"), updating those taxonomies as human understanding and aesthetic preferences evolve, as well as practical considerations ('application'). Generating proofs of a statement is like a biologist identifying a new species, critical but also just the start of the work. It's the macropatterns connecting the organisms that lead to the really important science, not just the individual units of study alone.

And it's not that AI can't contribute to this effort. I can certainly see how a chatbot research partner could be super valuable for lit review, brainstorming, and even 'talking things through' (much like mathematicians get value from talking aloud). This doesn't even touch on the ability to generate potentially valid proofs, which I do think has a lot of merit. But the idea that we could totally outsource the work to a generative model seems impossible by definition. The point of the labor is develop human understanding, removing the human from the loop changes the nature of the endeavor entirely (basically to algorithm design).

Similar stuff holds about art (at a high level, and glossing over 'craft art'); IMO art is an expressive endeavor. One person communicating a hard-to-express feeling to an audience. GenAI can obviously create really cool pictures, and this can be grist for art, but without some kind of mind-to-mind connection and empathy the picture is ultimately just an artifact. The human context is what turns the artifact into art.

Zig is a much simpler language than Rust. I'm a big Rust fan, but Rust is not even close to a drop-in replacement for C. It has a steep learning curve, and often requires thinking about and architecting your program much differently from how you might if you were using C.

For a C programmer, learning and becoming productive in Zig should be a much easier proposition than doing the same for Rust. You're not going to get the same safety guarantees you'd get with Rust, but the world is full of trade offs, and this is just one of them.
Yeah the psycho(logical) part of psychoacoustics is actually more important one wrt to noise annoyance.
I think Rust is harder to learn, but once you grok it, I don't think it's harder to use, or at least to use correctly. It's hard to write correct C because the standard tooling doesn't give you much help beyond `-Wall`. Rust's normal error messages are delightfully helpful. For example, I just wrote some bad code and got:

--> src/main.rs:45:34
|
45 | actions.append(&mut func(opt.selected));
| ---- ^^^^^^^^^^^^ expected `&str`, found `String`
| |
| arguments to this function are incorrect
|
help: consider borrowing here
|
45 | actions.append(&mut func(&opt.selected));
|

I even had to cheat a little to get that far, because my editor used rust-analyzer to flag the error before I had the chance to build the code.

Also, I highly recommend getting into the habit of running `cargo clippy` regularly. It's a wonderful tool for catching non-idiomatic code. I learned a lot from its suggestions on how I could improve my work.

What you are talking about is different.

UDIs of devices are typically tracked in the patients medical records.

What you are talking about is a central database with all of it. Yes, that would be good, but it doesn't mean that each patients UDIs of devices implanted or used isn't tracked (or supposed to be) within their medical records.

This argument for the theoretical benefit of advertising (being informed about products/services) was probably true at the point in time when advertising genuinely consisted of a dispassionate listing of the features of a product, and maybe a picture of it. Take the commercial being highlighted here for example. It's 2.5 minutes of a very cool visual image of the toy balls bouncing en masse. But how does a zillion balls bouncing down a hill convey anything meaningful about the television model it's an ad for? How do sexy models in a commercial for beer, perfume, etc inform the consumer about the product in any actual sense?
That law only says the devices have to have unique IDs.

It doesn’t say anywhere (from my quick skim) that those unique IDs need to be recorded against/associated with patient records when they are implanted.

Or have I misread?

What I do to deal with general noise but specifically disruptive low frequency noise from my surroundings is to mask it, in particular with longform (often an hour long) dub techno tracks. CV313 is good for this. It's the only good way to counteract the subsonic energy coming through my walls and ceiling.

We experience sub frequencies with our whole body, certainly I seem to have a high sensitivity to the 5-30Hz stuff. So no amount of ear plugging will be really that effective.
I lead an internal tax department at a publicly traded company.

We do sales tax, VAT, and other indirect taxes in-house. At our scale, external providers are too expensive.

At my last job, we handled worldwide VAT and GST compliance in-house, and left sales compliance tax to Avalara. Most countries insist that you begin to file as soon as you have any sales to their country. As a practical matter, you don't need to register unless (a) you're doing at least $1000 in taxable sales quarterly or (b) the tax authority reaches out to you and tells you that you need to register.

VAT and GST compliance is very straightforward in most countries: it's a 1 screen form. Payment is also easy, but can be pricey: wire transfers. Best to have your accountant do them, but if he's terrified of the VATMOSS, you need a new accountant. The VATMOSS is an extremely simple form (and the VATOSS, for larger companies, isn't much more complex).

Sales tax compliance is hard, because the U.S. has over 10000 different sales tax districts and more than a hundred sales tax jurisdictions (but you probably won't have to file in most of them). Avalara is a bit pricey for the returns ($50/each) so you may want to do those in-house or have your accountant do them.

NOTE: I DO NOT RECOMMEND AVALARA. They were purchased by a PE company and the quality of service plummeted off a cliff even as prices tripled. Use literally any of their competitors instead.
That's because of the current paradigm of status and success chasing that is driven solely by marketing. Marketing will hit a wall and it won't beat actual suffering faced in the wake of quality of life decline. People are still a little cozy right now so they buy into hype but when their belly is rumbling , what is bought is what exists at the lowest price , its the only vector that matters.

When James from HR actually gets unemployed for an extended period of time and lose his yuppie status, and has to suffer , he will count his blessings that all he has to do for work is "urban cleaning" and can dilly dally with free internet / subsidized utilities in the remainder of his time or you know - join a club , meet people and become human again.

Without a doubt - "quality of life"/everyone gets a pickup truck or a $10 000 bike if they save up real hard is going to dip.

But I see this as a market correction - western lifestyle was always inflated in nature/high consumption. The average dude in south america lives on what , a $1 a day? Nobody will be able to afford inflated products / industries at inflated prices- true cost will begin to be reflected more and more in the market.

But EVERYONE will have to take the hit / eat the loss , so there won't necessarily be as much shame in being an urban cleaner , everyone on the inside understands you did what you have to do to survive.

Java value types aren’t going to be even roughly comparable to what you can do in Go. It’s just gaining something with the name “value type”, don’t let the naming similarity lead you to believe that this is conceptually like how the same-named concept in Go works.

Virtual threads are not preemptive. Maybe you can point me to documentation that says otherwise, but my understanding is that virtual threads are scheduled at blocking IO points or places where the thread interacts with the runtime.

Strings can be represented internally as bytes in Java but this is kind of an optimization which happens behind the scenes under specific scenarios, and it’s not a part of the string API like it is with Go. What you’re saying is technically correct but it’s not relevant.

You can use package-private accessibility in Java but surely you can see the clear difference between the way Java and C# work, and the way that languages like Rust, Go, and Haskell work, where the module is the primary technique for modularization (rather than the class).

I’m really just trying to describe differences here, so I don’t think it’s really useful to fight over the technical details. Go doesn’t walk like Java, doesn’t quack like Java, it doesn’t look like Java when you squint your eyes.
Monopoly of the long distance telephone call market??
Most countries in the EU have a VATOSS/VATMOSS filing system. They're all relatively straightforward, but Ireleand's system is generally the easiest to use...and also the only one in English. (This matters because it means that they'll correspond with you in English, and any tax authorities in other EU countries are on notice to correspond with the taxpayer in English.)
Or, less pessimistic, a lot of people are happy to consume human relationships all day.

That’s what life has always been about for a large segment of people, going back thousands of years. Media is more or less a bandaid. People are busy, people are anxious, people don’t want to bother to spend money - media can give the sensation of human interaction without the hard bits.

But ultimately, if I could never work but I was surrounded by my loved ones forever, I would be pretty happy with that. We can find stuff to do, or just do nothing at all. With them, it’s always a blast.
This article will be extraordinarily helpful to you: https://simonwillison.net/2025/Mar/11/using-llms-for-code/

As someone with programming experience, I would personally recommend starting with Cursor. It has three modes: chat, composer, and agent, for varying degrees of “ask questions about my code” to “do the coding for me” so that you can experiment with different workflows. Since it’s an IDE and can import your settings from VSCode or similar it will also feel integrated/familiar.

> I think Rust is harder to learn, but once you grok it, I don't think it's harder to use, or at least to use correctly. It's hard to write correct C because the standard tooling doesn't give you much help beyond `-Wall`.

When I say Rust is harder to use (even after learning it decently well), what I mean is that it's still easier to write a pile of C code and get it to compile than it is to write a pile of Rust code and get it to compile.

The important difference is that the easier-written C code will have a bunch of bugs in it than the Rust code will. I think that's what I mean when I say Rust is harder to use, but I'm more productive in it: I have to do so much less debugging when writing Rust, and writing and debugging C code is more difficult and takes up more time than writing the Rust code (and doing whatever less debugging is necessary there).

> Also, I highly recommend getting into the habit of running `cargo clippy` regularly. It's a wonderful tool for catching non-idiomatic code.

That's a great tip, and I usually forget to do so. On a couple of my personal projects, I have a CI step that fails the build if there are any clippy messages, but I don't use it for most of my personal projects. I do have a `cargo fmt --check` in my pre-commit hooks, but I should add clippy to that as well.

You seem to be suggesting something deceptive is going on here, but there doesn't seem to be any sign of that.
