I agree with Sam Altman that the whole structure of society will be up for debate. But he probably assumes that in the new structure he is going to be on top.

I mean I am actually impressed by the sizeable part of the population media moguls managed to convince into a cultish devotion to lie to themselves against their own naterial interests. This is bad everywhere, but the current US has a propaganda machine that is truly astonishing, in a scary way.

The problem with that is that authoritarians have no incentive to figure out the real roots of a problem. Like a doctor that always blames it on some devil, demon, or whatnot when you go to them an authoritarian will not solve the problem, because every (real) crisis is a chance to blame the (fictional) enemy.

Libra Wolf - early fork of Firefox maintained separately - supports FF addons
It's funny how Mozilla is being vilified non-stop this past week when nothing's really changed (only their legal wording). Whereas Google are literally personal information vampires; they make the web a worse place for people and their freedoms.

> What causes this phenomenon where the project with significantly less resources is held to a higher standard than the other players?

Hm, my lived experience is the inverse, and both seem sort of important to talk about.

We've been hearing about Chrome implementing the same privacy protections as Safari as a transgression for years, years, and years, as it was delayed again and again.

It was ex-Mozilla people who brought to my attention that they were deeply alarmed by the privacy-concious-Do-Not-Track people making this pivot and that it was a really bad sign.

Generally, I try to avoid loaded questions phrased like "why is X considered as A while Y is considered as B?" because it suffers from high failure rates

(likelihood you're the first person to realize the truth; likelihood these things ended up sorted neatly into opposing binaries; undecidability of 'how come everyone believes the wrong thing?'; uncomfortable conversation when someone starts from 'how come everyone believes the wrong thing?' and you have to sort of lead them gently to 'is it possible you are missing something, not everyone else?' without making it obvious)
It might not be interesting, but it is true.

I doubt that customizing your dev tools would be worth the effort.

You’ll get accustomed to where things are as you go. After a few days or weeks, chances are you’re not going to even think about it again, or miss the old dev tools.
From long experience we expect Google and hence Chrome to act against our interests. We have not expected that of Mozilla and Firefox.

Google did give us a lot of warning that they would greatly restrict ad-blocking and tracker-blocking, so most of that angst has already been and gone.
So, the compiler is tinkering with the way the loop is organised so the whole tail-call interpreter thing is not as effective as announced... Not surprised.

1. CPU arch (and arch version) matters a lot. The problem is 95% about laying out the instruction dispatching code for the branch predictor to work optimally. C was never meant to support this.

2. The C abstract machine is also not low-level enough to express the intent properly. Any implementation becomes supersensitivy to a particular compiler's (and compiler version) quirks.

Certain paranoid interpreter implementation go back to writing assembly directly. luajit's famous for implementing a macro system to make its superefficient assembly loop implementation portable across architectures. This is also I find it fun to tinker with these!

Anyways, a few years ago I've put together an article and a a test for popular interpreter loop implementation approaches:

They have never clarified what they're doing that is not really selling data but legally "could be considered selling data". I understand that's how they tried to spin it, there's a very telling update[1] written two days later:

The reason we’ve stepped away from making blanket claims that “We never sell your data” is because, in some places, the LEGAL definition of “sale of data” is broad and evolving. As an example, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) defines “sale” as the “selling, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means, a consumer’s personal information by [a] business to another business or a third party” in exchange for “monetary” or “other valuable consideration.”

That California definition is pretty much the most straightforward legal definition of "selling data" I can think of. That they describe it as "broad and evolving" makes me suspicious of their whole discourse, I don't think I can take their communication as 100% in good faith anymore.

Don't get me wrong, even after this I still use Firefox and I think it's better than Chrome in the privacy axis. But it's really annoying that they're still trying to paint themselves treating your privacy as sacred when that's obviously not the case.

No, sorry, the vice versa is not true.

You can write any possible SQL query in SQL, but you can't write all of them in an ORM (without falling back to native SQL queries)

SQL is strictly more powerful.

Sometimes it's also way more verbose.

So I agree that you should be able to leverage both tools, but they are not even remotely as powerful.

I every project we used ORM for, at some point we had to jump through hoops and write plain old SQL (depending on the language and framework that's simple or terribly complex), because we had to fix the n+1 query problem.

In every project, since more than 18 years!

The author seems to assume that conjuring up a conjecture is the hard part - yet it will be filled with the same standard mathematics ( granted, sometimes wrapped as new tools, and the proof ends up being as important as the result), often at great cost.

Having powerful assistants that allow people to try out crazy mathematical ideas without fear of risking their careers or just having fun with ideas is likely to have an outsized impact anyway I think.

Hi, the Brave search feed is largely based on the ground work of the former Munich-based German startup Cliqz, whose technology formed the basis of Brave Search. We as a German purpose enterprise seek to work with best independent technologies and currently focus on Brave Search. We can also access UK-based Mojeek and we are in touch with the Qwant/Ecosia startup who will likely have another independent search feed ready in French mid 2025, and in German possibly early 2026 (it's a guess though).

You'll get the filtered version even if you claim your water is clean. The problem isn't the question.

> do I want to sit in a meeting with you and try to hammer out a design

i.e. it's not a technical skills test but a behavioral or personal preference interview. As above but to make it 200% clear I've never done ANY real world system design like I would in ANY interview. So you're not likely going to get this outcome either.

In the real world someone is going to get this task e.g. a principal engineer and they're going to come up with some draft (maybe ask for help for a bit) and then hold a meeting to discuss / refine it. No 1 is creating these diagrams live with other people unless there's some place with enough "architect-level" engineers that have nothing to do. Furthermore, it'd be really expensive if all the stakeholders are present. What you do get is the principal filling different gaps based on different discussions potentially over a week or so.

The discussion potentially happens over many short segments as well, e.g. "should we add a cache (to the performance engineer)" ... (2 hours later) ... "I think we need a WAF, thoughts? (to the security engineer)".

In conclusion you'd not want to sit in a meeting with me and try to hammer out a design because:

- I'm trying to force myself to do something I don't do (and no 1 does) and so it's not the real me

- I'm under pressure from the interview and the broken situation so behaving differently

- I've had so little time to consider your "unique Brownfield" scenario that I'm always going to go with safe options instead of more novel or closer to my personality approaches i.e. again not me

What about the not-LLMs works?

I know barely anything about it but it seems some people are interested and excited about protein engineering powered by neural networks.
A nice post (that should be somewhere smarter than contemporary Twitter/X).

> PS: You might be wondering what such a benchmark could look like. Evaluating it could involve testing a model on some recent discovery it should not know yet (a modern equivalent of special relativity) and explore how the model might start asking the right questions on a topic it has no exposure to the answers or conceptual framework of. This is challenging because most models are trained on virtually all human knowledge available today but it seems essential if we want to benchmark these behaviors. Overall this is really an open question and I’ll be happy to hear your insightful thoughts.

Why benchmarks?

A genius (human or AI) could produce novel insights, some of which could practically be tested in the real world.

"We can gene-edit using such-and-such approach" => Go try it.

No sales brochure claims, research paper comparison charts to show incremental improvement, individual KPIs/OKRs to hit, nor promotion packets required.

Over 50% of which might also be misleading or blatant lies. Where would you find neutral sources?
We use the following steps:

- Each service listens on a different, fixed port (as others have recommended).

- Have a single command (incrementally) build and then run each service, completely equivalent to running it from your IDE. In our case, `dotnet run` does this out of the box.

- The above step is much easier if services load their configuration from files, as opposed to environment variables. The main configuration files are in source control; they never contain secrets, instead they contain secret identifiers that are used to load secrets from a secret store. In our case, those are `appsettings.json` files and the secret store is Azure KeyVault.

- An additional optional configuration file for each application is outside source control, in a standard location that is the same on every development machine (such as /etc/companyname/). This lets us have "personal" configuration that applies regardless of whether the service is launched from the IDE or the command-line. In particular, when services need to communicate with each other, it lets us configure whether service A should use a localhost address for service B, or a testing cluster address, or a production cluster address.

- We have a simple GUI application that lists all services. For each service it has a "Run" button that launches it with the command-line script, and a checkbox that means "other local services should expect this one to be running on localhost". This makes it very simple to, say, check three boxes, run two of them from the GUI, and run the third service from the IDE (to have debugging enabled).
Shouldn’t this be named phenomenal rather than structural? In both cases there is a structure assumed, but one is implicitly inferred while the other one is explicitly required.
I can give you an example here. We had to do some basic local VAT validation for EU countries and as the API that you can use for that has some issues for some countries (as it checks this in the national databases) we wanted to also have a basic local one. So using Claude 3.7 I wanted to get some basic VAT validation, in general the answer and solution was good, you would be impressed, but here comes the fun part. The basic solution was just some regular expressions and then it went further on its own and created specific validations for certain countries. These validations were something like credit card number validations, sums, check digits, quite nice you would say. But the thing is in a lot of these countries these numbers are basically assigned randomly and have no algorithm, so it went on to hallucinate some validations that don't exist providing a solution that looks nice, but basically it doesn't work in most cases.

Then I went on github and found that it used some code written by someone in JS 7 years ago and just converted and extended it for my language, but that code was wrong and simply useless. We'll end up with people publishing exploits and various other security flaws in Github, these LLMs will get trained on that and people that have no clue what they are doing will push out code based on that. We're in for fun times ahead.
Mid-70's! Well done.
What degradation in ability should I plan for? Any?

I envisage myself coding for another 45 years (I'm in my 50s now), but I worry about my ability to concentrate on a single task for long spells, think creatively yet realistically enough to find solutions; to learn the latest fads and tools, and maintain my enthusiasm to keep up with the latest fads and tools. Will my hands get too unsteady to type, my eyes too weak to focus; how long will I be able to sit (or stand) up and work in a session. No-one knows I'm a dog, but they will if I have to turn on the camera or go to the office, so, will I necessarily be transitioned to more results-driven work assignments via tasking sites?

(I guess these are the typical prejudices that a hiring team will make when considering an older candidate.)
