The benefit that uv adds is it's a one-stop-shop that's also wicked fast.

If you use venv then you have extra steps because you have to explicitly create the venv, then explicitly install the deps there with pip. If your project is designed for a specific python version then developers have to manage that separately (usually pyenv these days).

For people building apps uv replaces venv, pip and pyenv, while being way faster at doing all three of those (you can completely rebuild the virtualenv and install the dependencies from scratch in under a second usually because uv is faster at creating a virtualenv than venv and is very quick at relinking the dependencies from a package cache).

Sign language doesn’t need hearing or sound making!

I suppose language requires a means of communication and someone to communicate to at a minimum. Although actually we think in a language so I guess we don’t need someone to communicate to.

Then maybe language creation just requires the right sort of thoughts?

Edit:

I should have read the article first LOL!

They say as much:

> "Language is both a cognitive system and a communication system," Miyagawa says. "My guess is prior to 135,000 years ago, it did start out as a private cognitive system, but relatively quickly that turned into a communications system."
I am giving you a organic comment. uv works just like magic. Python tooling is mess, uv is here to save you.
The libc version(s) to use when creating python packages is standardised and documented in a PEP, including how to name the resulting package to describe the libc version. Your local python version knows which libc version it was compiled against and reports that when trying to install a binary package. If no compatible version is found, it tries to build from source. If you are doing something 'weird' that breaks this, you can always use the --no-binary flag to force a local build from source.

Alpine supports x86, x86_64, armhf, armv7, aarch64, ppc64le, s390x, riscv64 and loongarch64. Rust and a great deal of Rust-based packages build for all these architectures. I'm sure there are a few more supported architectures.

Jumping to criminal fraud feels a bit hasty in this context. It'd be important to know whether Amazon ever marketed this feature specifically, promised privacy, defined what that privacy they promised meant, and whether there's any legal argument to be made that this setting should be considered core to the basic functionality of Alexa.

IMO no one should have ever expected Alexa, or products like it, to be private. The meet fact that it has a microphone, and potentially a camera, and promises to respond simply by you saying something to it means they're always listening. I don't really care what they say they'll do with the recordings, I care what they can do with the recordings without me ever knowing about it.

Back when PDM was still pushing __pypackages__ for standardisation I think PDM made sense, but honestly I don't think it adds anything over uv and is just going to be slower for the most part.
You need quantum physics to understand how chemistry works.

So, given that chemistry plays a huge role in how the human (or any) brain works, it would be quite a stretch to argue that the brain works with classical physics.

We are often sloppy and sort all the chemistry in with classical physics, but that's a very human-centric approach. In reality, the Universe doesn't have different "domains" with separate rules for chemistry and physics; it evolves according to the Schrödinger equation, and we use Chemistry as an abstraction to not have to deal with nasty mathematics to predict how certain reactions will work.

Yeah, I feel the same way. For a small set of features that work fairly reliably it is great. Almost all of my use is:

1. Set $thing timer for $time

2. Add $thing to my grocery list.

3. Weather

4. Convert $amount to $unit.

And it is pretty great when these work, being able to do it in the kitchen without stopping whatever I am doing (example setting the dishwasher timer while putting in the soap, adding milk to the grocery list as I am pulling the last bag out of the fridge) is amazing. No wasted time and no risk of forgetting to pick up my phone and do it after I finish the current task.

But even then it is pretty unreliable. I feel like it has been getting worse over time to be honest.

The definite positions of your brain states evolution is correlated to the other positions of all the stuff. The other particles do have an effect on your evolution and there is a "you" set of particles one can talk about. Remember the wave function is a function on configuration space so evaluating the guiding effect on the particles is to have to know what point in configuration space it is at; this is actually the troubling bit and leads to the nonlocality concerns, but that problem is common to any quantum theory with definite results happening.

The physics, therefore, is not all in the pilot wave. If you take as the point of a particle theory that there should be particles with positions changing in time, then that is what is being given in Bohmian mechanics.

Also, ask yourself, if the wave function is on configuration space, what constitutes a configuration? In Bohmian mechanics, it is clear, but if the wave function is all there is, then why are we talking about configuration space at all? It is just this abstract vector in Hilbert space evolving and many different representations can happen. Why do we not perceive reality in terms of these other representations?

If it helps, you can think of the wave function a bit like a dynamic law. In [1], the authors suggest thinking of log( psi) analogously to the Hamlitonian H on phase space in classical mechanics. There is no back action on H and most of it is irrelevant to the evolution of a particular particle system in that framework and yet everyone recognizes it as just a convenient way of describing the dynamics.

The difference is that psi evolves but even that may only be true on a subsystem point of view. It is theoretically possible to have a stateless universal wave function which, when particular particle positions of the environment are plugged in, nonetheless gives evolving subsystem wave functions.

Occam's razor is difficult to apply here without a prejudice. If you want to minimize the number of equations, then sure, "the wave function is everything" works, but it comes at the cost of there being what could be considered an infinite number of "you"s and everything else, all slightly different and whole existing other expressions of the universe with no connection to us. If you want collapse somewhere, then you have to posit that mechanism.

On the other hand, by adding in particles and the guiding equation, one gets a singular "you" and everything that we experience is, more or less, definite and singular. So the "existing" stuff is dramatically reduced.

Which one of this is truly simpler is a matter of taste, I would say. I think in terms of communicating with people, the Bohmian version of "there is this universal wave and the positions of stuff are guided by it" is pretty simple. The law itself is so trivially a part of the Schrodinger equation that it could easily be derived before the Schrodinger equation itself. Contrast this with other versions which is "reality collapses to a definite state when we look at it" or "there are infinitely many different universes". None of those seem as simple.

The funny thing is that most people see this as a feature rather than a bug. Before the 2024 election the policies of most surveillance platforms roughly matched the culture of upper-middle-class Californians, so the argument was "if abusive technology is used to shut down opinions I don't like, I don't see a problem with that". Good luck explaining why such an attitude is a problem.
What crash so you foresee? We just had a correction but that’s typical and healthy.

How do you think it will unfold?
You may say that nuclear fusion in stars does not mean anything; only what matters is that we see light. At a certain level it is true, but to simulate a system we need to simulate its inner workings, not only - the end effect.

The exact phase of a wavefunction does not matter - but it is an important phenomenon, giving raise to gauge invariance. The Born rule can be derived. In short, since we use unitary operators, length is preserved. For a derivation, see https://journals.aps.org/pra/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevA.71.05....

Also, to be nitpicky, we also never measure probabilities. Something (macroscopic) happened or not. It gives rise to quite fundamental and philosophical questions, including "what is (classical) probability" (I don't know an answer that fully satisfies me), many world interpretations (maybe all possible things just are), and in general what on indeterminism and free will.

How significant is "in the blast radius of an oil refinery"? Once every how many years should I expect a typical oil refinery to explode? This really doesn't seem like it should be their first, second, fifth, or twelfth priority to"solve".

EDIT: asking Claude:

Based on historical data, major refinery explosions in developed countries might occur at a rate of approximately 1 in 1,000 to 1 in 2,000 refinery-years of operation. Using this very rough estimate, a single refinery might have approximately a 50% chance of experiencing a significant explosion somewhere between 700-1,400 years of continuous operation.

We Built a CLI Tool for Graphite – Here's Why and How [video]
At MetricFire, looking for ways to make monitoring easier. That’s why we built a CLI tool for Graphite—to simplify setup and send Telegraf metrics quickly straight from your terminal.

In this interview, one of our engineers, Ben Pitts, walks through why we made it, how it works, and what’s next for the tool. If you’re using Graphite or thinking about improving your monitoring workflow, check it out!

We’d love to hear your feedback—what features would you like to see next?
Give it a try. You'll be surprised at what can be achieved when the LLM is driven via /specs (business requirements) + /stdlib (steering LLM technical outcomes). The end result, when driven by a good eval loop (property-based tests + compiler that provides soundness such as Haskell or Rust), is code outputted at brrrrrrrr speeds which is high quality.
Except terrain following radar also exists for military aircraft. Civilian planes don't have it because it's not something they want or need to do not be cause the capability doesn't exist.

It is generally understood that GDP is a poor measure of what matters to people. The OP should know this.

It means that GDP doesn't buy prosperity.

We've been told for decades that letting our economy turn out like Europe's was something to fear, while they outpaced us in virtually all quality of life measures.

We can no longer claim being the richest country in the world as a source of uniqueness or justification -- handed to us by the gods. I think this is part of the reason for the present descent into authoritarianism.
The main objection is: if there wasn't a classical limit, our brains would have evolved differently.

So yes, we can use the antrophic argument as evidence for the existence of the classical limit, but it doesn't have explanatory power for why there is a classical limit.

It not so much that registrars had little incentives, but rather that GDPR defined the concept of legitimate interest as the definition for when registries should give out public information about domain ownership. That allows the contact information to still point to the correct domain owner without going through a proxy, while still creating a small hoop for parties interested to extract ownership information from the registry.

One can see this in practice in that company registration information is usually still available (through often behind a captcha), while personal information of private registrations require additional steps to demonstrate a legitimate interest. All this is also generally occurring at the registry level, rather than at the registrar.

It should be mentioned that privacy proxy is very similar to a straw man registration. If the registered owner is the proxy, then you are trusting that the proxy will honor the contract that is linking you with the property.

Did he input all the prompts in the same session? It's kinda nonsense bs. Any disassembler is more useful than this.
Hard disagree - if you violate the invariants in Rust unsafe code, you can cause global problems with local code. You can cause use-after-free, and other borrow checker violations, with incorrect unsafe code. Nothing will flag it, you will have no idea which unsafe code block is causing the isue, debugging will be hard.

I have no idea what your definition of encapsulation is, but mine is not this.

It's really only encapsulated in the sense that if you have a finite and small set of unsafe blocks, you can audit them easier and be pretty sure that your memory safety bugs are in there.
This reality really doesn't exist much anymore because of how much unsafe is often ued, and since you you have to audit all of them, whether they come from a library or not, it's not as useful to claim encapsulation as one thinks.

I do agree in theory that unsafe encapsulation was supposed to be a thing, but i think it's crazy at this point to not admit that unsafe blocks turned out to easily have much more global effects than people expected, in many more cases, and are used more readily than expected.

Saying "scaling reasoning" also implies someone reasoned about it, or can reason about it.

But the practical problem is the same in both cases - someone got the reasoning wrong and nothing flagged it.

Wanna go search github for how many super popular libraries using unsafe had global correctness issues due to local unsafe blocks that a human reasoned incorrectly about, but something like miri found? Most of that unsafety that turned out to be buggy also was done for (unnecessary) performance reasons.

What you are saying is just something people tell themselves to make them feel okay about using unsafe all over the place.

If you want global correctness, something has to verify it, ideally not-human.

In the end, the thing C lacks is tools like miri that can be used practically with low false-positives, not "encapsulation" of unsafe code, which is trivially easy to perform in C.

Let's not kid ourselves here and end up building an ecosystem that is just as bad as the C one, but our egos refuse to allow us to admit it. We should instead admit our problems and try to improve.

Unsafe also has legitimate use cases in rust, for sure - but most unsafe code i look at does not need to exist, and is not better than unsafe C.

I'll give you an example:
There are entire popular embedded bluetooth stacks in rust using unsafe global mutable variables and raw pointers and ..., across threads, for everything.

This is not better than the C equivalent - in fact it's worse, because users think it is safe and it's very not.

At least nobody thinks the C version is safe. It will often therefore be shoved in a binary that is highly sandboxed/restricted/etc.

It would be one thing if this was in the process of being ported/translated from C. But it's not.

Using intrinsics that require alignment and the API was still being worked on - probably a reasonable use of unsafe (though still easy to cause global problems like buffer overflows if you screwed up the alignment)

The bluetooth example - unreasonable.
this really looks like a regression.
