I think having read the same books, seen the same movies and news, played similar games, having lived in the same era is only part of it.

Maybe where you came from, where and under what circumstances you grew up, which opportunities and/or (bad)luck you had, where the winds of chaos have blown you, how you were 'driven' to be 'driven' where you landed makes you more detached, or immune to such overgeneralizations, or maybe call it 'cultural' brainwashing?

IOW: There is too much trash in the minds of too many people. Memory leaks. Buffers overflow. Garbage collection is overdue. Or a reboot.

Edit: That's not to be read as an endorsement of the people you mentioned, and their likes. Or that I'd be a fan. Maybe my 'reboot' is useless, too. Because the filesystem is irrecoverably damaged, the hardware underneath has been replaced, and is working different, so a new install of another 'OS' is needed anyways.

Thanks! Your point about making privacy clearer on the site is super helpful.

And what kind of on-device vs. cloud processing balance would make you feel comfortable? Also, would a transparent settings panel where you control what data is stored and for how long help?

Would love to hear from others how important are privacy guarantees and local processing when considering an AI-powered speech training tool for kids?
I think they're working on that. Probably not a high priority feature considering most of the developers are Fedora-focused.
In Zero's case, it sounds more like there is knowledge transfer but there's this cult of personality from management's perspective. Almost the opposite of Tim.

It can be scary, but you gotta pass the torch at some point and accept there will be turbulence compared to Zero smoothing out the landing. That's how you get future Zeros/Tims who very likely had their own turbulence to handle.

No, if you need fixed addresses i suppose a linker script would be the way to go? Or in this case you'd just serialize the data such that it doesn't contain any pointers in the first place.
i agree with everything you say. i just think the first step is what i’m laying out.

gotta show them we’re not afraid to play their game and win it as well.

we should be able to play any game, any time. But based on that direct the game to be of higher moral ground.

editing this comment as apparently we’ve reached our thread comment limit.

yes, bargaining from a position of power. that would allow to direct it to a more suitable place. banding together with individuals of power to produce combined power. you say it’s impossible and then say exactly how we’re going to do it. :)

i hope you know this has been a very enjoyable conversation for me.
We have had top-level await for a while now. I don’t know what’s so horrible about this:

const app = express()
app.use("/users", await import("./routers/users"))

…if you’re so inclined to do things exactly as you did in the past. I’m pretty sure bundlers will even transform that into an ordinary module import.

The cases where you actually need dynamic imports are few and far between. Are we actually talking about engine limitations here, or is it just a few snowflakes that insist on creating loggers like this?

require("debug")("acme")

What is so particularly pretty about that is beyond me.

> ESM import runs side effects as well.

At runtime, yes. Not during static analysis.

I've been looking for a better solution for local dev on services deployed via quadlet, could you elaborate on this?

I just took a look at the socket activation docs[0]. Is my understanding correct that no `compose.yaml` is required, just running `docker-compose up` with the appropriate env var pointing to the socket is enough to trigger a connection and service activation?

> Would some hypothetical future AI just "know" that tomorrow it's going to be 79 with 7 mph winds, without understanding exactly how that knowledge was arrived at?

I think a consciousness with access to a stream of information tends to drown out the noise to see signal, so in those terms, being able to "experience" real-time climate data and "instinctively know" what variable is headed in what direction by filtering out the noise would come naturally.

So, personally, I think the answer is yes. :)

To elaborate a little more - when you think of a typical LLM the answer is definitely no. But, if an AGI is likely comprised of something akin to "many component LLMs", then one part might very well likely have no idea how the information it is receiving was actually determined.

Our brains have MANY substructures in between neuron -> "I", and I think we're going to start seeing/studying a lot of similarities with how our brains are structured at a higher level and where we get real value out of multiple LLM systems working in concert.

Marc Benioff said UCSF used Yamanaka’s techniques to regrow his Achilles in place. So it seems that we are getting there.
When I saw this I thought... "The Turing Institute? Does that still exist?"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_Institute

There was a previous Turing Institute in Glasgow doing AI research (meaning, back then rules-based systems, but IIRC my professor was doing some work with them on neural networks), which hit the end of the road in 1994. There was some interesting stuff spun out of there, but it's a whole different institute.
The government can just run the tests themselves in that case. I think people will resist coercive sterilization more than coercive genetic testing.

>It is unclear how much and how fast things will change, and unpredictability is worse than expecting a certain outcome

So you would prefer that the US just withdraws from NATO now, to reduce the unpredictability? That's fine by me. If unpredictability is your issue, Trump should be able to address that by withdrawing tomorrow.

>I do not see why usa should be "thanked".

If you think our involvement in Europe over the past 80 years has been positive, you should acknowledge that. If all you do is complain, it's natural for Americans to think "well, maybe our involvement in the continent isn't positive... perhaps it's time to pull out and see if they stop complaining about everything". You're not complaining about Brazil, Australia, Switzerland, or China the way you complain about the US. I think we need a reset to make the US/Europe relationship more like the Brazil/Europe relationship.

I don't see how "become the oppressors" can possibly be read as having the "moral high ground."

At best it's "bargaining from a position of strength."

But, again, I apparently need to emphasize that what you suggest is, for any given individual, effectively impossible. The only way to achieve it would be to band together in such numbers that we could, instead, work to influence politics toward the ultimate goal of equality with much more success.
>Why is it important to note that it was not orbital?

Orbital is what actually provides any significant economic value. But the nature of the Rocket Equation, effects with atmosphere, and how those interact with the limits of our material science means that there is an absolutely enormous gulf between a sounding rocket and getting to orbital velocity and back again. All of that is what makes it so hard but it's also required to be of any real practical use. So the DC-X was a noteworthy historical milestone/demo and test bed but going from there to something like the Falcon 9 let alone Starship takes an tremendous amount of further innovation and engineering (and investment of course). The new engine work alone SpaceX has done is a hufe deal and is what defines the envelope for the rest of the system.

You don't need file:// module URLs when you say open a index.html from your local drive through file://C:/index.html but then in that index.html you have a 'script type="module" src="src/index.js"' and from there you go through usual relative paths without protocol.

This works in Firefox, I have one project open like that right now. Chrome blocks that because of their CORS policy, but that's another issue, can be mitigated by some commandline options (--allow-file-access-from-files --cors-exempt-headers "*")
From talking with some people who were witnesses to earliest days of Hurd (but not involved in the project), the real problems of Hurd were social not technical - if anything, OSF/1 & NeXTSTEP succeeding from similar code base (for some value of) points that it was possible to do it.

The story goes that the early days were dominated by some ridiculously bad project management that makes Cathedral and the Bazaar era "Cathedral" a nice and well maintained project.

Most importantly, GNU Hurd lacked the "ecological niche" to drive work towards it because it couldn't deliver enough, just like lack of information about 386BSD led to Linux (Linus explicitly said that if he had known about 386BSD, he would have worked on it and maybe forked it)

The Wright brothers stood on the shoulders of their peers, in an age of focus on flight similar to today's focus on LLM-based AI systems. Lots of money and time were put into achieving flight, and lots of people achieved some version of it.

The Wright brothers famously used data collected by Otto Lilienthal on glide slopes for unpowered gliders. They reproduced that data with their own gliders.

Wilbur Wright once wrote, "Lilienthal was without question the greatest of the precursors, and the world owes to him a great debt."

But Lilienthal died in an accident before adding the key feature of power, necessary to achieve powered flight.

The Wright Brothers worked on control surfaces for a while, then turned to power. They notably didn't invent the internal combustion engine, nor did they invent or build theirs. They contracted out the work, with specifications.

The site at Kitty Hawk is favorable because of a slope and prevailing wind (it's an awesome place to visit). But the Wright Flyer II flew powered flight in Ohio in 1904. And then the Flyer III flew in 1905, again in Ohio. They again returned to Kitty Hawk in 1905, got rid of the catapault, and worked to start securing military contracts.

Europe, particularly France had a very active scene in flight research. When the Wright brothers' achievment made it to France in 1906, it was publicly ridiculed, no doubt creating the information environment for European sponsored researches to make claims.

The Wrights were not the first to fly, but they were the first in a collection of qualifications

- powered

- controlled

- heavier than air

- sustained

- flight

The technical base that enabled them also existed elsewhere, including Europe. A lighter, more powerful engine, better control surfaces, and a better design could easily surpass their design, and those technologies were improving rapidly. It's clear Santos-Dumont was an accomplished aeronautist, but was a couple years late hitting the qualifications the Wrights had already achieved and in some ways didn't achieve a few of them -- he notably used a hybrid lighter than air system to achieve takeoff in 1906. Insufficient to achieve the award he was shooting for. He later achieved it, with a wholly unique design, which is still remarkable.

If the Wright brothers had crashed and died during their development, the world would have still had flight in the end.

Although my work is not about loneliness, it has similarities with your goals. My work is about creating intellectual confidence, critical awareness, and laying the foundation for honest ambition from self confidence through accomplishment.

I've been creating AI chatbots, and "taskbots" (chatbots that do more than respond conversationally, they procedurally do things on request.) These are all embedded into an office software suite such that it forms an office software environment with dozens of virtual expert co-workers that are integrated right inside the UI of the office software. So when one is working, there are multiple virtual co-workers that are conversationally inside the same software you are using, with access to what you are doing in that software. They advise your work, they can directly manipulate one's in-editor work, and in general they are designed to educate you how to do your own work better, how to understand past your work and become materially better at what one does.

As I created and have been using and testing the system with general office workers, I find I need to include psychological aspects in the AI Agents behaviors, because people are intimidated, or they are sarcastic, or they are really timid and afraid of doing something wrong and getting reprimanded. The AI Agents that help a person edit in the work processor require instruction that people are both afraid to reveal any lack of understanding, and have a real hard time articulating the help they need. So these word processor support AIs coax the user and coach them how to ask for help; once that hurdle is crossed, users get active and chatty with the agents and make good progress. That initial use, they are very intimidated. Plus often confused, because they think they can just say "write this for me" and the AI will do everything, as if it can read their mind.

Thanks for your sharing.

I completely agree that AI can’t replace a trained speech therapist. My goal is to bridge the gap between sessions, giving children more frequent and engaging practice opportunities.

Right now, many kids only see a therapist once a month. I think the app can be an AI-powered supplemental tool that provides gamified speech exercises to reinforce what they learn in therapy.

Would reframing our wordings to emphasize this "complementary" role make it clearer?

Would love to hear more from you.
Is this useful? It seems really specific to their paid tool.

What would be more helpful is an MCP that exposed devdocs.io or similar. Cache selected languages/framework documentation locally. Then expose an MCP server that searched the local files with some combination of vector/BM25 search. Expose that as a tool to the LLM.
You seem more interested in debating the imaginary version of me in your head than in having an actual discussion here, so have fun, I think you can do that on your own.
Not to be that guy, but the pork and beef industries are well known for fearmongering around any alternative source of product, be it from Mexico, Latin America, or in this case wild boar that are literally breeding like rabbits and running amok across Texas and other parts of the American south. Unregulated competition is a big problem for the industry.

When I read an article like this, I sort of roll my eyes, cook your meat properly, enough with the scare tactics!

Maybe to put it another way, why is this article being written? Just a nerdy interesting issue with targeted appeal that has arisen? Slow news day? More likely a campaign of some sort for some reason but someone wants to squash.

If a future totalitarian government wants to save money on medical treatments then they can just euthanize anyone who gets cancer rather than euthanizing anyone whose genes say that they have a 50%+ greater risk than average of getting cancer. Or collect genetic samples themselves and use that to cull the population rather than just do it for people who were 23andMe customers.
Not really; as a 10x programmer, to some, improves outcomes by 10x regardless of the team members and project status, but LLM and agents built on it, may soon qualify.

I don't understand this broad take. HP makes two classes of printers for home and SOHO market. Low end and High End. There's no middle (aka the Sony model).

Lower end printers are really low quality. They have low monthly output thresholds, have lower quality ink, and have low end hardware which needs firmware on every boot, etc. They wear out and die. I worn one down, I know.

Their higher end printers are good. They use better inks. They cartridges are more reasonable (Ink Advantage Series), they work really well with anything from mac OS to Linux to your kitchen sink, because they talk PDF over well defined protocols, and they're reliable. They last more than a decade, and they don't wear down. My 4510 still goes strong, for example, and it works like the way I bought it the first day.

If you go even higher end, these models use full pigment ink sets for even more durable and color correct prints. Higher end home printers use pigment black and dye color sets.

Aren't there other good brands? Oh yes. Lexmark's lasers are good. Samsung used to make terrific laser printers with Xerox. People say Brother is also good. I didn't use them, I can't comment.

Lastly, I always say and will always say so. Not all ink is created equal, ink is not simple science. There's a specific reason why HP and Xerox have their own labs and patents on ink/toner formulation and delivery.

I am from germany and this is true. I can remember the 90s and 2000s where coca cola was totally dominant and the only thing you can get in bistros restaurants etc. but now only cheap places like döners serve coca cola. what I meant is that they are still one of the most sold brands in western europe but not as dominant as it was with a steady decline. While in other parts of the world they can sell their sugarwater without regulation and thats where they make money. the rest of the world wants a taste of the free world drink.
This illustrates what is very, very wrong and a huge source of discontent in our corpocracy. Corporations are able to enact any law they want (DRM for example) because of United vs FEC. Then they can get away with anything in court because they can afford to pay millions in lawyer fees after extorting customers by bricking printers. If I did this, I would go to jail. Not to mention Purdue Pharma.
