But it’s true that the menu systems often made the accelerations and afterthought, and regularly used functions for some people had no shortcuts and no way to set them.

I still think a World of Warcraft style action bar, user configurable and multilayered, would work just fine for power users. You can put anything you want in position eight but most people have the same things set for 1-5.

I'm also an aws-vault user and wanted to draw your attention to the fact that kubectl supports exec based credential acquisition (in fact, that's how $(aws eks update-kubeconfig) emits them by default). Now, whether that fits your threat model is a different story, but it's for sure technically possible because I use that setup every day

By default, it looks like this:

exec:
command: aws
args:
- --region
- us-east-2
- eks
- get-token
- --cluster-name
- my-cluster

but for us it would look like this:

exec:
command: aws-vault
args:
- exec
- --region
- us-east-2
- my-vault-profile
- --
- aws
# likely not required, but I'm including it for "coding in a textarea" :-)

- us-east-2
- eks
- get-token
- --cluster-name
- my-cluster
Some might say the other countries should stay out of it. For example people might say Switzerland should stay out of those nations issues. However, if Switzerland provided technology thought a normal market or not, to the rulers, they have already interfered with the natural progression of that nation. There is no hope of the people making the situation better while Switzerland is providing the rulers with tech and they're keeping it from the people.

I don't know about this project specifically, but this kind of work is soon going to be tremendously valuable because of AI. Instead of engineers designing products directly, they will build a simulator, write an objective function, and submit this data to a general purpose ML/RL API hosted by one of the big labs. The AI will run a billion simulations and use RL to create a design that optimizes the objective function.

Simulate Literally Everything!

Yeah that’s been my approach as well - and honestly I’m not even sure that it’s necessarily faster, it’s just different. Sometimes I feel like getting my hands dirty and writing the code myself - LLMs can be good for getting yourself unstuck when you’re facing an obstacle too. But other times, I’d rather just sit back and dictate requirements and approaches, and let the robot dream up to implementation itself.
Very serious hobby photographer here. Not all of us follow this tedious tendency. Of course it depends on the photographic niche but even in mine, which is a mix of social, street and fine art/abstract photography, I avoid as much as possible anything except a bit of cropping and minor contrast adjustments with the most basic digital tools. Specifically, I detest massive post processing of photos, since it seems dishonest and a cheap way to cover for a lack of willingness to learn composing better shots.

And don't even get me started on the utter dreck of so-called photographers using AI tools like Adobe's Firefly crap (good tools, but crap in the context of this specific rant) to "seamlessly and realistically" move or erase objects in photos. If you're going that far with manipulating your photos, why bother taking them in the first place?
This isn't a football problem, it's a "company has way too much power" problem. It's as if Coca-Cola were allowed to tell my water company to turn off my tap water for a few hours because I should be drinking their soda at lunchtime.
They don't. Very little has actually changed. For the people who voted for this, "unilaterally gutting government agencies" was what they voted for. For people who didn't vote, they don't seem to be saying, "Gosh, I didn't realize this would happen."

So you choose a different photographer which _does_ offer the license you want?

Unless there is a photographers' union that forces specific licenses, surely there will some some photographers out there who would be OK with CC license?

Do you think there's not one single photographer on the continent willing to take a headshot for a one-time payment? Or that no celebrity has even one PR person who can set up a basic shoot?

This is not a real problem in the real world. You can simply pay someone for the license to a photo. You can simply have a photo done in-house so you own the copyright. There are countless alternatives here
Been using i3 for the last year and I feel all of the pain points from this article.

Overall, I deeply prefer i3 to gnome but the "everything gets resized" pain point is very real. Particularly when getting on a lot of calls with Zoom and the "notifications" seem to bypass the build in notifications on the system, instead treating each Zoom notification like it's own window...amplifying the problem.

> Windows was defaulting to displaying 48 × 48 icons instead of 32 × 32 […] I found that MacOS wanted a 128 × 128 icon to use in the dock

This was one of the most superficial and yet most visceral reason I switched from Windows to Mac OS X at that time. With 128 × 128 icons, the entry point to apps—their icon in Finder or the Dock—simply looked more appealing and viscerally more beautiful. Especially that Windows app icons used fewer colors than Mac apps. Of course there were many other reasons I switched, but seeing the desktop of the Mac for the first time, the icons definitely wowed me enough to give it a deeper look.

Who is "they"?

Most AI for math work is being done by AI researchers that are not themselves academic mathematicians (obviously there exceptions). Similarly, most AI for music and AI for visual art is being done by AI researchers that themselves are not professional musicians or artists (again, there are exceptions). This model can work fine if the AI researchers collaborate with mathematicians or artists to understand that the use of AI is actually useful in the workflow of those fields, but often that doesn't happen and there is a savior-like arrogance where AI researchers think they'll just automate those fields. Same thing happens in AI for medicine. So the reason many of those AI researchers want to do this is for the usual incentives - money and publications.

Clearly, there are commercial use cases for AI in all these fields and those may involve removing humans entirely. But in the case of art, and I (and Hardy) would argue academic math, there's a human aspect that can't be removed. Both of those approaches can exist in the world and have value but AI can't replace Van Gogh entirely. It'll automate the process of creating mass produced artwork or become a tool that human artists can use. Both of those require understanding the application domain intimately, so my point stands I think.
Once rebuilding your venv takes negligible time, it opens up for all kinds of new ways to develop. For example I now always run my tests in a clean environment, just to make sure I haven't added anything that only happens to work in my dev venv.
Some people thought Java was the new COBOL as early as the early 2000s but it was one of the first computer languages designed and specified by adults (I'd add Common Lisp to that list, if you look at the CL spec and the Java spec you realize they are both nicely structured with none of the strange circularity that plagues The C Programming Language)

Threads in Java are just great, you really can write programs that get a 14x speedup on a 16-core machine. Web servers can use threads for managing concurrency and for parallelism handling individual requests. I look at how much pain people go through with async in Rust (another global-local problem where they'll be pushing that bubble around under the rug when they give up) and contrast that to the ease of threads in Java, so long as you get to understand all the primitives that Java offers to deal with common problems and don't get seduced by the false promises of Fork-Join, Scala actors and such.

An agent acting for a celebrity would know exactly how to handle this, including paying the photographer a fair price for their work and the full rights, and handling all the paper work. That's their job.

It's not hard either. I mean, you could just step into a high street photo shop and have your portrait taken professionally, keep all the usage rights to it for a small amount of money, and end up with a photo already better than most of those Wikipedia examples from the article. But professional photographers usually are willing to negotiate this upfront as well, and why not? The fee rises, but not beyond what most celebrities can afford to pay for this. More relevantly though, an agent won't let the copyright sit with the photographer by default if they need that photo for all sorts of stuff themself, including commercial use.

Besides, larger agencies are likely to have photographers on staff who do this.

Without reading the comments here, I read the blog entry first.

After I finished I was puzzled, "what is the author trying to communicate to the reader here?"

As near as I can determine, enough people weren't using the author's program/utility because it was written in a language that hasn't been blessed by the crowd? It is hinted at that there might be issues involving memory consumption.

The author does not write lessons learned or share statistics of user uptake after the re-write.

No new functionality was gained, presumably this exercise was done as practice reps because the author could do it and had time.

No argument was made that the author has seen the light and now only C from this point on.
At this price point, they are all bad, no matter the manufacturer. Home networking equipment is basically a race to the bottom (if there's any innovation, it happens at the hardware level only like faster Wi-Fi cards, etc).
I didn't make a list, but let me give an example. Page 22 where variable declarations are introduced:

If a variable is declared and not given an initial value then great care must be taken not to use the undefined value of the variable until one has been properly given to it. If a program does use the undefined value in an uninitialised variable, its behaviour will be unpredictable; the program is said to be erronous.
>Let me declare, only, that, as an individual, I myself feel impelled to the fancy — without daring to call it more — that there does exist a limitless succession of Universes, more or less similar to that of which we have cognizance — to that of which we shall ever have cognizance — at the very least until the return of our own particular Universe into Unity. If such clusters of clusters exist, however — and they do — it is abundantly clear that, having had no part in our origin, they have no portion in our laws. They neither attract us, nor we them. Their material — their spirit is not ours — is not that which obtains in any part of our Universe. They could not impress our senses or our souls. Among them and us — considering all, for the moment, collectively — there are no influences in common. Each exists, apart and independently, in the bosom of its proper and particular God.
Nice, yeah that's not too bad at all.

I started programming with Python years and years ago. My journey has led me to preferring low-level languages (currently in a Zig bout), and revisiting Python has been a disappointing experience. Not necessarily bad, but instead of focusing efforts where it really matters, such as eliminating GIL, they seem to be focused on adding new syntactic sugar.
In fairness that’s how most power structures crumble throughout history. The USSR didn’t collapse because of low level revolution - disenfranchised senior leadership lost the handle. The mistake of using people for a time and thinking they won’t come back to haunt you is naive and I’m all for it.

Many of my hardest life lessons learned was because I was willingly working for people who were keeping me blind to their actual nature and motives and it was disguised at the time. The alternative wheee people just shrug and don’t document it for history - gossip or not - is a bad alternative.

This project actually says "The current Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV) is 1.82.0"

Rust 1.82 was released in October last year. It looks like this gets bumped periodically, but it isn't pulled to latest and presumably a bugfix release, if they were doing those, wouldn't change MSRV so that seems basically fine?

Llama Run Update: Cloud-Based AI Inference with Next.js and Google Gemini
Hey everyone, I'm thrilled to share a pretty big update to Llama Run! For those who don't know, it's an AI desktop assistant I've been working on, designed to help you automate tasks using your own custom Python plugins. And now, it's getting a serious upgrade with cloud-based AI!

So, what's new?

Snappier Performance: We've rebuilt parts of Llama Run with Next.js and are hosting it on Vercel. This means the app is faster and more responsive, especially when running your automated tasks and custom plugins.
Cloud AI Power: We've connected Llama Run to the magic of Google Gemini and OpenAI. This lets you tap into powerful AI for things like generating intelligent responses or handling complex processes, and it all happens in the cloud for speed and scalability.
Secure Authentication: We're now using Firebase for user authentication. This makes it super easy and secure to connect your app to those cloud services.

Basically, this update brings the power of cloud-connected AI processing directly to your desktop. The goal is to make Llama Run even more efficient and responsive, giving you a taste of the future.

What's coming up?

My next big focus is fully supporting Python plugins! It's still a work in progress, but I'm committed to creating a robust plugin system that's useful for both developers and end-users.

I'd love to hear what you think! You can try out the app on the Microsoft Store. And if you're curious about how it all works, the project is open source on GitHub, and I'd welcome any contributions!

Thanks for taking a look!

I had an aha moment recently. An excited AI researcher claimed, wow: claude could solve this IMO problem. Then, a mathematician pointed out a flaw which the AI researcher overlooked. The AI researcher then prompted the AI with the error and then the AI produced another proof he thought worked, but again was flawed. The AI played on the researcher's naivete.

Long story short, current AI is doing cargo-cult math - ie, going through the motions with mimicry. Experts can see through it, but excited AI hypesters are blind, and lap it up. Even alpha-geometry (with built-in theorem prover) is largely doing brute-force search of a limited axiomatized domain. This is not to say AI is not useful, just that the hype exceeds the actual.

If Chatgpt replaces Google search then it will be effectively signing it's own death warrant.

ML models like chatGPT rely on the open web for training data, particularly for information about recent events. But models like chatGPT are horrible about linking to their sources. That means that sources that rely on ad revenue or even donations to exist will effectively disappear as chatGPT steals all of the traffic. With no cash flow, the sites with current data disappear. With no new training data, chatGPT stagnates.

ChatGPT is basically a parasite on the free and open web - taking content but not giving back.

You say resilient to attack, yet it's also the opposite where it is very very easy for someone to attack someone to the point of removing their online presence. People will DDOS a site for the lulz. People will do it to cause problems for some perceived slight. Some will do it to hurt a competitor. It costs them pretty much nothing to have it happen. For those on the receiving end, it could be devastating. Their only affordable option is to use one of the megaCorp providers.
