> But this is technology, in my opinion, has the risk of eventually triggering a form of social stratification. The focus should be on keeping the technology ubiquitous, accessible, and unrestricted.

But this is exactly what proposals like you’re responding to are trying to do. Ignoring the morality this is an economic issue. Massive economic value is potentially going to be created by stealing from individuals. Why can’t they get small kickbacks? Why must their contribution be completely devoid of remuneration for us to stand a chance of “winning a war” or keeping this technology accessible?
Given that schema is known, should be able to avoid general JSON parsing. Would be much faster.
While it is true language is an important input, there are plenty of examples of transformer architecture working on generating binary data - a good example would be generating a 3d mesh from a text prompt (you have a shit ton of models for this). The input is text, the output is a binary file - a jpeg, a png or an stl. We're already there, just not for applications.

Fyi you can do this today. Ask for a flying cape dog and have a stl you can print into a physical object.
I don’t completely disagree with you but I don’t think that’s very realistic to be honest.

Plus, in my experience, I felt very similarly in that I wanted to meet someone in “real life”. That felt important to me, to have some kind of story about how the relationship began that wasn’t “we met on Hinge”.

But after meeting that person, after so much trying and heartbreak and struggle, I realized how much I don’t care at all how we met. Just that I’m so happy to have them in my life.

Meeting in person is awesome, but having a companion who feels like your person isn’t diminished because you met on a dating app in my opinion and experience.
Not only military. Commercial transport aircraft can bring things in anticipation of an event not yet publicly announced, or such that won't ever be announced. Same applies even to Vegas: a dozen additional private aircraft may bring people to an invite-only event, which none of them is going to publicize.

OTOH all the commercial and GA aircraft should be visible on sites like flightradar. Military aircraft require much more involved detection techniques, especially as many of them are designed to avoid detection.

You can legitimately shade a multidimensional object to a single dimension without being untrue nor even biased. The point is such a cross-cultural comparison is mostly useless. Identify themes and interests versus unobservable beliefs.
The DOGE guy doesn't like it because people were tracking his plane and he also happens to be replacing FAA stuff with his starlink (which deorbits every 4 years and now will have more govt propping it up and guaranteeing redeployments, if the military stuff didn't already do that).

Or the Montgolfier brothers! That was the first time humans went up in the air.

I was surprised the first time I heard Americans attribute flight to the Wright brothers. (For reference, I was educated in Belgium)
We don’t particularly want our customers’ data :)
Why does the US want to start/get involved in random conflicts when it tries to get away as hard from the one that actually matters?
As a fellow who moved from a city to the rural for this reason, I can tell you why this zeitgeist exists. Because the more observant of us read our history and figured out that technology and software in particular is a weaponized form of capitalism that tries to fuck over every other part of the economy.

Every day we work on reinventing grand rube goldberg versions of a PDP-11, insulated by a nice fluffy layer of know-nothing management, with the slow obfuscated goal to entrap, control and exploit any sector of the economy that actually does anything.

- Logistics of people moving goods? Profits eaten by software.

- Marketplaces of buyers/sellers of people? A percentage to the house of software.

- Farming? Land speculation by software.

- That one tiny minuscule coat pocket of economic required liquidity aside, the entirety of finance is parasitical and moved en masse to software a while back.

- Eductation! Theres an app for that.

Sure the investors have let it be a pleasant middle class job because building a green field full of grass is great way to catch a hog or the brightest people you can, smart people being the required instrument of your fuckery but thats finally coming to a close. Don't have to make the grass so green when you own everything anyway. And we're at the point where they're onto nakedly buying governments.

The extensively cultivated naivety of this site aside (when it comes to power), I think most of you know whats coming and that you probably shouldn't be entirely dependent on the tech companies in the future. But as always, "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it."
Great reference but I wonder what the criteria for inclusion is here?

Dear Bosch, if you need someone to design a $5 control circuit that will time a few motors and actuators and last 20 years, just give me a call.
But why must it be free? Immense amounts of money are being thrown around and at the first suggestion that maybe the thing that underpins their work should be paid for they say it’s infeasible. If you listen to Altman the future is going to be infinite. Why can’t we pay authors for their books in that case?

Yeah it seems like everyone's definition of homesteading is on a bit of a spectrum. Don't get me wrong - throwing a bunch of arduinos/microcontrollers together to automate stuff is very fun but when I personally think of homesteading it's about self-sufficiency through agriculture.

In conversations with the IT world, I have definitely found a pretty high level of romanticism" often associated with the idea of leaving the modern world behind, going off-grid and running a farm.

It dovetails with the same kind of naive transcendentalism that espouses that natural = good, a simpler kind of living, etc.
Yeah, the ultimate Bluetooth audio protocol would probably be a meta-protocol, combining the two ideas I mentioned with a MIDI-like timecoded sequencing protocol. You'd pre-buffer one or more notification sound effects onto the receiver, registering them with audio-session-specific IDs; begin streaming the live audio (the stream gets an ID); and then use the control sequencing stream to say "mix in a copy of registered-stream N [the ping sfx] at time T." (And the sender then cut the sfx off early with another such command, if it wanted.)
As long as I can stick a 1090 MHz ADS-B antenna on my roof and listen to transponders as they pass overhead (which I currently do), at least some data will be out there.
Mine is completely computer-free, with a mechanical timer, and has only required a minimum of maintenance over the years. There's actually a somewhat underground community rebuilding/restoring vintage white goods, which I suspect may become more popular as things like this keep happening.

Unlike the new stuff that's dependent on a cloud service with rapidly changing software which may get shut down or unusable in a few years, mine has been working with the same power and water for the greater than half a century since it was made.
There are three parts to linkedin;

(1) the user facing feeds, the social media part most people see

(2) the recruiter platform that recruiters are addicted to, and the integrations with other platforms to this bit.

(3) the advertising platform that marketers/employer brand teams can run paid targeted advertising at prospects etc.

This will fail like every similar thing because Linkedin has the market sewn up from every angle. There's a reason Microsoft paid 26 billion for it.

My advice to anyone, get yourself on LinkedIn, fill out your profile as much as your can, join the relevant groups in the industry you are in, network in real life.
I see dense coverage on flightradar24 over India, China, and Russia. Can't say how complete is that.
I think what's incredibly important to remember is that ADHD is not a binary thing. It's not even a single spectrum.

It's a cluster of executive-function-related symptoms, any number of which a given person with the disorder can have a little, a lot, or even not at all. (I forget what all of them are offhand, but I have about a half-dozen of them in noticeable amounts, and several others that seriously debilitate many people with ADHD I've never had problems with.)

So while you may be able to "[not] think about it...just keep working hard...and do great things regardless", that's guaranteed not to be true of everyone with ADHD.

The worst advice anyone with ADHD can give someone else with it is "just do exactly what I did, and you'll never have problems again". That goes triple when "what you did" is ignore it.

The best advice I know of is to learn and understand what having ADHD means to you. Then use that knowledge to figure out how best to mitigate the problems it causes. For some, that will be medication. For others (like me), it may mean finding specific interventions for individual symptoms, and learning to live with some of the others.
One lawyer I follow on Bluesky mentioned the longer he stayed on more exposed he became to legal ramifications. Also, this involves national security which courts may treat differently than other issues.

I am more surprised that he did not save this incident for a future book
I disagree with most of these (giving as much reason as you).

The only device that I really want connected is my lawn sprinkler system so that it can check the weather before using a lot of potable water
All of those variations occur within plant-based oil sources, too. Coconut oil has significantly more saturated fat than lard or tallow, and unclarified plant oils have non-trivial micronutrients, while clarified plant oils have nearly none. Meanwhile, whole fruits and vegetables have such high levels of micronutrients that the amount in unclarified plant oils is meaningless, in comparison.

Also, how do you define favoring certain foods? People that make an express attempt to eat healthy eat the foods that they hear are healthy. If a few of those foods have no effect on health, or even a negative effect, favoring those foods will still correlate positively to better health outcomes, as long as the rest of the advised food is healthy.

Compared to the health effects shown in research on how much food to eat, especially how much whole foods vs added refined fats and sugars, the effects of one refined oil verses another makes little difference.

I'll take the major health benefits I get from limiting my intake of refined oils, but don't see any value in bothering with the clinically insignificant, and possibly statistically insignificant, benefits of only eating the less tasty refined oils, when I do eat them.
Even if Oracle tried, SPARC performance was terrible and their value for money was too. We benchmarked a finance system (Transaction Processing) where we needed 3x the SPARC hardware to keep up with Intel/Linux. Once they bought Sun I couldn't see any future where they made it work with keeping SPARC alive. Best case was keeping Solaris on x86 since that had genuinely better features (Zones and DTrace in particular).

I'm sure it differs from jurisdiction to jurisdiction around the world, but the application processes are categorically insane. Feed all of your personal information, very very personal information, into this form with this provider that will keep it on file and definitely do nothing else with it for X years, or you can't have anywhere to live. It wasn't even so bad when there was only one provider so at least you didn't have to repeat this with multiple different platforms, but the last time I was in the rental market every different agency had their own platform.

I'm sure if you called you could still manage to do an old-fashioned style form, but not only is that a huge inconvenience, I'd be very worried that agencies would just ignore it if the property was popular and had good competition.
In terms of "what should be done?", and I the only one who thought of the Silicon Valley episode where they immortalized Jing Yang on a "smart" fridge?
Yes, although coverage is probably lacking in rural areas (eg https://globe.adsbexchange.com)
There's definitely problems with a 100% structuralist view of history too make no mistake. Things like politics, battles and wars are more prone to the effects of outliers and random chance just by their nature, you can't have 1000 people try to conquer Italy with one of the least loved chunks of the French Army at the same time, unlike how you can have 1000 people working on radio or flight at a time. On the other side of the coin without the French Revolution which he had no part in creating or driving he would have likely stayed a minor artillery officer or less in the Acien regime.
The way forward I see is a path to autonomous development; human development is boutique dev or supervision; a good example are x86-64 assembly skills today. The gross of dev will be handled by AI, specially the mindless crud stuff with browser integration. When you skip the whole intermediate language and/or can generate a high level binary definition spec that can be compiled, its game over. Development as we know it is dead, and people will target intermediate ai-solvable code, as they do today to satisfy various pipelines such as testing or cyclomatic complexity.
My experience was extremely difficult and I think many people underestimate that unless you get really lucky early on, it’s a lot of work to seriously date.

To be honest I have a lot of the features that people think equal automatic success on a dating app but I would still go weeks, sometimes months without a match. Or worse, get matches but have nobody respond despite taking the time to come up with something funny or interesting to say (not just “hey”).

Something important I realized now that I’m out of it is to take breaks, sometimes long breaks, from any kind of “trying”, whether online or in-person. I took many breaks that were out of a place of being angry at myself for not being attractive or charismatic enough or whatever it was that was causing me to fail. But if I could do it over again, I’d be telling myself that I’m getting tired of this right now, and that’s okay. I’ll put it away for a few weeks or months or even years if I felt I needed that time. Then try again.
At the very first glance, it's like ARC 1 with some structures serving as contextual data, and more complicated symmetries / topological transformations.

Now, I wonder what surprises are to be found in the full dataset.

The focus on solving cost efficiently discrete tasks might actually lead us towards deep learning systems that could be used reliably in production, and not just give a whoa effect or need to be constantly supervised

"Economy of the vassal states" for a straight translation. But "Regional economies that compete against each other" makes more sense.

BTW the author provided a simple explanation, I'll quote what ChatGPT translated for me:

> The phrase "诸侯经济" was first put forward by Hu Angang. Simply put, it's like siblings starting their own households after a family split. Besides making contributions to the "patriarch" (the amounts and calculation methods vary by province, but each has a fixed value that can be found on the Ministry of Finance's website), they hoard the rest for themselves.

The context is that at the conclusion of the Cultural Revolution, the leaders gave a lot of autonomy to regional governments. My hunch was that they won through a coup d'état thus lacked legality, so they had to give a way a lot of power to the people who controlled the provinces. Anyway, this created a booming economy (in general) for the next 30 or so years, but brought upon other issues that the Chinese could no longer ignore after the 2008 financial crisis.
I'm not very familiar with the internals of serde_json, but it's largely solving a different problem. Serde_json is deserializing individual records (rows), and typically using compile-time code generation. (Alternatively, it can also deserialize into fully-dynamic structures like serde_json::Value).

Arrow-json, by contrast, is doing columnar deserialization against a schema that's only known at runtime. To me, the interesting aspects of the design are how it does that performantly.
Has anyone else looking at this looked into the prosumer / commercial space? I suspect that market will have a lot less tolerant for digital bullshit.
The examples just don't show any I/O but you could easily imagine that the actual policy check is done by a different service which lives across an I/O boundary or involves DB lookups to validate if the action on the given resource by the subject within the given context is allowed.
Sounds almost too good to be true.
Why does the US need to have an internationally competitive solar export industry? We can't beat China and a lot of other countries on labor costs so unless we go crazy with automation or have some research breakthroughs for significant solar efficiency vs cost, it would never be a huge win regardless of policy. What we do need is a domestic production base for domestic usage so that solar can't become a negotiating tactic used against us, or a hindrance if international relations collapse.

Arguments about current exponential growth not being fast enough don't land with me.
Instagram caught the smartphone wave.
Very cool project. I’ve used the cedar crate for similar use cases in the past but it’s always bugged me that it requires writing the policies in yet another language.

I think it's great to bring more measures of pain to bear on things but admit I'm disturbed by the rhetoric around things. It's a classic problem with measuring anything neuropsychological: pain is inherently subjective. So when I read an entire article talking about how we need "objective" rather than "subjective" measures of pain it seems not only logically and scientifically misguided, but also inherently dismissive of patient experience, like their subjective experience is irrelevant. The thing you're measuring is a subjective experiential quantity.

There's so much literature showing that inherently "psychological" things are integral to pain experience there's no way to disentangle them. Another poster was noting that pain is affected by experience — so if a pain is new to a patient, does that mean we should ignore their experience of it? If we know that pain perception is amplified by anxiety or fear, we should dismiss it?

I know from firsthand clinical experience the problems with report of pain — misrepresentation in drug seeking, for example — but I almost feel like you'd be better off studying that than anything else. The rest of the stuff they mention is great and all parts of the puzzle but it's all minor parts of the whole process of pain perception, and the whole idea of dismissing "subjective" pain seems absurd to me, because pain is subjective.
However I was quite concerned at the time when they said, quite incorrectly that there was no risk to their users from this bug.
Is it standard to have 2k+ loc in a lib.rs file? I'm looking at Rust code and it seems that everything goes in there. People usually don't break that down?
No, F00F was a different bug from a few years later.
I work in this field and written papers on these objects, so I am aware of their significance. This is exactly why I left the comment for people to know whether that's something particularly novel or interesting (for non-experts) or not.
Avoiding Big Tech:

Many people who have been avoiding big tech companies now have stronger arguments for doing so. It has become easier to avoid services like Instagram, Google, Gmail, WhatsApp, ChatGPT, Amazon, and X. Convincing friends and family to use alternative communication platforms such as Signal, Telegram, Mastodon, Posteo, or Proton is more feasible. However, moving away from Amazon remains challenging for some. Nonetheless, every small step towards this goal is valuable.

Professional Perspective:

From a professional standpoint, some of my clients are transitioning away from AWS and/or Vercel due to political risks and ethical concerns. Others are moving from AWS to Vercel for financial reasons. Personally, I emphasize ethical considerations and political risks beyond just vendor lock-in. When project requirements and team structure allow, we prefer to build on self-managed Kubernetes (K8s) clusters.

German "Mittelstand":

Generally, the German "Mittelstand" (mid-sized companies) tend to avoid vendor lock-in. They often implement solutions that combine private and public cloud services, enabling them to switch cloud providers quickly.
Why should a company pay X for a guy that will take 10 years to understand how apps fail, when he can just hire a guy at X2 or X3? Specially if in 3-5 years, you can skip the guys altogether?
How did that work out for you guys? Did any engagements / sales materialize from your efforts on LI?
Humans are bad at driving. I do not want an automated system to be a substitute, I want it to be vastly superior and safer. 40,000 people die each year in car accidents in the United States. I expect an autonomous system to be ZERO deaths a year. Getting there will absolutely require more robust systems than what humans come equipped with.
The schema is only known at runtime, which prevents ahead-of-time code generation. JITing would be probably be an improvement though (at least in our use case, stream processing, where we're basically always willing to pay higher upfront costs for higher long-term performance).

(Actually, the original version of Arroyo was purely based around ahead-of-time code generation, and used serde_json for deserialization. I wrote at length why we decided to move away from that approach here: https://www.arroyo.dev/blog/why-arrow-and-datafusion).
