The video title says "self driving car". This is clearly dishonest when they intentionally did not test the feature named "self driving" in the car shown in the video thumbnail, nor disclose the fact that such a feature does exist and is significantly better than what they tested.

This video is a real missed opportunity. I would love to see how FSD would handle this and I hope someone else takes the opportunity to test it. In fact, testing FSD is such a trivially obvious idea that the fact that it's not even mentioned in the video makes me suspicious that they did test it and the results didn't match the narrative they wanted.

This was a wild time to begin a career, and I was just dropping out of college, having been the class of '99 but delayed a semester already due to bad work/life balance. I was self-teaching in web and systems programming and generally doing things on the internet, had a good grasp of things technically, but had no grounding in finance, business, stock options, or any of it. Everywhere around me seemed like opportunity, and Linux seemed somehow related. I even was supposed to have stock options in VA Linux[1] due to my paid work there, but that didn't pan out in the end. I didn't yet know how the internet would change everything, but it felt like it was definitely happening, and somehow that meant everyone involved would get rich. The media story didn't help. I wouldn't change any of it, though. I did it for the love of learning and still do.

> but someone will wax poetic about how anything is possible in C and they would be valid.

Not at all would that be valid.

C has a semantic model which was close to how early CPUs worked, but a lot has changed since. It's more like CPUs deliberately expose an API so that C programmers could feel at home, but stuff like SIMD and the like is non-existent in C besides as compiler extensions. But even just calling conventions, the stack, etc are all stuff you have no real control over in the C language, and a more optimal version of your code might want to do so. Sure, the compiler might be sufficiently smart, but then it might as well convert my Python script to that ultra-efficient machine code, right?

So no, you simply can't write everything in C, something like simd-json is just not possible. Can you put inline assembly into C? Yeah, but I can also call inline assembly from Scratch and JS, that's not C at all.

Also, Go is not even playing in the same ballpark as C/C++/Rust.
I think it’s not explicitly stated but consider the companies that have not IPOd and getting funding privately - I think that was his point.

At 18 I was broke but got a full scholarship and worked my butt off the next four years. If I had money I would travel. The most rewarding travel I have had was to Japan. Very safe, friendly (at least it was 30 years ago), and it opened my eyes to a completely different way of life.

I also enjoyed visiting Rome and Paris very much. The literally touched the historical places I read about my entire life. The Coliseum, St Peter’s, the Eiffel Tower, seeing the famous artwork and statues was also awe expiring.

In short, travel gave me self confidence in that I could adapt to any city and it helped reinforce my faith that life is worth living.
I think if you're merely using LLMs to write code, you're already gone.

Biden didn't do nothing. He stated firm support for Israel, to the point of declaring himself a Zionist, he sent billions of dollars in arms and aid to Israel, and the US under his leadership vetoed numerous UN resolutions calling for a ceasefire, as well as witheld funding to Palestinian relief organizations.

He got the nickname "Genocide Joe" because of how enthusiastic he almost seemed to be about it. Utter disregard and contempt for Palestinian lives is one area where very little daylight exists between Biden and Trump. Even Kamala Harris didn't deviate from that norm.

>And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say goodbye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrest, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood that they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? After all, you knew ahead of time that those bluecaps were out at night for no good purpose. And you could be sure ahead of time that you’d be cracking the skull of a cutthroat. What about the Black Maria sitting out there on the street with one lonely chauffeur – what if it had been driven off or its tires spiked. The Organs [Soviet state institutions] would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!

I've heard from people older than me that this is how people felt about compilers.

https://vivekhaldar.com/articles/when-compilers-were-the--ai...

He provides some sources (7) at the bottom of the article.

To pick one, the following has a video interview with one of the founders of Fortran:

https://www.ibm.com/history/fortran#:~:text=Fortran%20was%20...

So we're not making up stuff, this perspective was ubiquitous among assembly programmers of the 1950s. In 1958 (as the first article I link to mentions), half of programs were written in Fortran. Which means half of people still thought writing assembly by hand was the way to go.

I've personally written assembly by hand for money on an obscure architecture, and I've also written a non-optimizing compiler for a subset of Rust to avoid the assembly. There is great joy in playing stack tetris, but changing code requires a lot of effort. Imagine if there weren't great alternatives, you'd just get good at it.
That doesn't seem responsive. The question wasn't whether Rust and C are literally the same language ("duh", as it were), it was effectively "are there meaningful safety features provided to the unsafe zlib-rs code in question in that aren't already available in C toolchains/ecosystems?"

And there really aren't. The abbreviated/limited safety environment being exploited by this non-idiomatic Rust code seems to me to be basically isomorphic to the way you'd solve the problem in C.
Yes, these weapons are much shorter ranged than an AK-47 in trained hands. They are not really for fighting wars.

My understanding is that it is not that simple, pilot-wave theories, are not the traditional hidden-variable theories. While some setups look very simple in pilot-wave compared to say the schrodinger equation, other setups are as unintuitive in pilot-wave as schrodinger equation is in some.

My lightly held conclusion is if it really was a full and more straight forward solution it would dominate the conversation more than it does now. This option was formed reading some primary sources but mostly reviews and comparisons of QM theories. Unlike other methodologies I have never working through a full QM example problem in pilot-wave theory.
this is factually just not true, at all. like outrageously not true. why would you just completely make something up like this?

Not sure about other countries but in Germany L4 is only active on freeways up to certain speeds. The video you linked is not showing this. At least the parts where I skipped through.
Correct regarding the BASIC. MS DOS (and even MSX BASIC and MSX DOS) was pretty important though in the grand scheme of the ecosystem forming.

But neither Windows nor DOS shipped with a C compiler; it's not a Unix. DOS shipped with an IDE for BASIC, and compilers were available but not free. The more accessible option was Turbo Pascal (and then Delphi 1), Visual Basic was also popular but more costly.

GCC appeared in 1987 but only worked acceptably under Unix-like OSes.
What do you mean by “standard”?

I like MacPorts, but most macOS using developers I’ve conversed with over the past 12+ years never heard of it, while all of them used Homebrew. Maybe it depends on what developer circles one inhabits.
Russian tactics have worked so far in Ukraine, as gruesome as that is.
Thanks (to all correctors). FWIW, that zlib-ng discussion page you link to has way more information about what machine the benchmarks were run on than TFA. It's also a safe bet that Google timed their chromium lib (which seems really close) on a much larger diversity of core architectures than these 3..4 guys have with zlib-rs. So, you know, very early days in terms of perf claims, IMO.

Also, FWIW, that zippy Nim library has essentially zero CPU-specific optimizations that I could find. Maybe one tiny one in some checksumming bit. Optimization is specialization. So, I'd guess it's probably a little slower than zlib-ng now that this is pointed out, but as @hinkley observed, portability can also be a meaningful goal/axis.

> A building from today looks much, much worse than let's say a building from even 300 years back

You don’t even have to go back that far. They still knew how to build decent buildings just 80-90 years ago. I think it all kinda changed after the Second World War. Maybe they needed to conserve money and build as much as possible?
Even if this is the case, it's still probably a very ungrateful role to be the product manager for a widely used app like this.

A lot of the uses in Western countries weren't even to disperse anyone, they were used as giant speakers to broadcast messages, e.g. during Covid in Germany.

It's crazy to compare that to what seems to have happened in Serbia. It's like saying "Carter has used a hammer, too" when commenting on a murder, and leaving out that Carter used the hammer to build houses with Habitat for Humanity.
I’ve done a few building trade courses btw but with more of an eye on DIY versus employment. They’re a lot of fun but just be aware that some professions you can’t just do a course then start doing work in houses, at least in the UK. You need to obtain qualifications through approved training and then go through an apprenticeship. These are harder to obtain the older you get.

You're right about them not wanting to give away requests for free, but in fact they don't rely on OpenAI directly - thanks to the agreement Microsoft has with OpenAI they get model weights for all OpenAI models before OpenAI "achieves AGI", and Microsoft hosts all of these on their own Azure cloud [1].

Oh, and as a counterpoint, o3 mini is completely free and relatively unlimited (I don't know, probably there are actual usage limits) in Microsoft Copilot in chat. See the original announcement [2] and in the tweet [3] they mention that they "updated it" to o3 mini (high)

Free Software isn't for hackers. It's for users. Hackers are also users, but they're not special.

The purpose of Free Software isn't to teach people how to program. It's not a scholarship program for gifted kids to generate startups. It's to institutionalize the right to access and change that software that defines the behavior of the machines that control our lives. You may say that only a programmer can take advantage of that right, so that means that Free Software is meant to create hackers. But I can hire a hacker just like I hire a plumber, or like my condo association hires a roofer, or my town hires a construction firm.

There should not be machines in your life that run on secret commands that you are not allowed to know about. They are not working for you.

edit: it is best not to talk about Free Software Licenses and Open Source/Creative Commons licenses at the same time if you're not talking as a consumer. They don't have much to do with other, other than that their development models are similar and that Open Source software will always be available over the same channels as Free Software.

Copyleft licenses like the GPL are very restrictive licenses that try to make sure that access to the code that they cover will never be restricted to a user of that code. They are an attempt to grant the rights that people should have to all code to enough code that one can accomplish one's goals without having to touch a locked-down black box, and to forbid the makers of locked-down black boxes from taking advantage of, embracing, extending, or extinguishing that code. The copyright holders of copyleft code are granting you that right of access and modification instead of the government. Open Source/Creative Commons has zero interest in that.

Open Source/Creative Commons are liberal licenses that allow anyone to do what they want, and make no (or very few and trivial) demands. You can take it and lock it behind any license. They are only compatible with copyleft licenses because copyleft licenses are part of the class "any license," not for any other reason.

Absolutely. You can heal from those. LRADs are maiming weapons designed to cause permanent damage. Under any reasonable legal system their use would be considered a war crime.

Not sure how all NC earpones work, but I'd say you still need the delay to properly process the sound and mix it with whatever is playing (unless you rawdog the input flipped and amplified directly in analog).

Normally sounds don't change in frequency that often so that's good enough (tm). I can hear myself typing now (short burst of sound), but the washing machine nearby, which is louder without earphones, is completely gone.
Right, it's not about hypocrisy, just that we collectively have to hear complaining no matter what.
Basically you are making a network connection via bluetooth. Depending on the OS you drive, there's probably a guide such as [1] to set up bluetooth via the modem adapter to act as an internet connection.

Of course it relies on both devices being able to create and maintain a good bluetooth connection.

It would be nicer if phones could run two wifi networks at the same time, allowing a mix of leach or hotspots but I guess in practical terms it's only one in a thousand type of demand.
