It sure is. Weakness is reminiscent of those leaders that met Hitler believing one can reason with monsters. Your ignorance is clearly a bliss though. I am reminded of those Ukrainian leaders that believed meeting Putin would prevent an invasion. These are not reasonable men, but absolute monsters. Meeting them makes Tulsi complicit. Maybe my morals just make me ill-suited to meet murderers (in a non-official capacity nonetheless). Giving legitimacy to these people is ridiculous. Good thing she will never come close to the presidency. Despite her treasons and her ignorance, she is also highly unlikeable and has the charm of a sponge.

What is the significance of a reproducible build, and how is it different than a normal distribution?
Thank you for the illuminating references! So this sockets example is a host that runs on a raw vm (x86_64-unknown-none target) and spawns sandboxes. To get at my original idea, I could imagine a sandbox with special functions imported from the host that can spawn new sandboxes. This could be complicated by the fact that spawning these sandboxes and hooking up inputs/outputs seems to be statically compiled...

I wondered how components were supposed to be used. So wac takes a group of wasm components and merges them into a new .wasm file with inputs/outputs mapped according to a defined .wac file. Then you can just run the new .wasm file. Does this not obviate the isolation benefits of having separate wasm modules? Is there a path to running a tree of components directly while maintaining the sandbox between them?
Yes. This is a fancy electron browser.

To be honest there were several chatbots before ChatGPT, eg Galactica by Microsoft, and it had not seem so promising. Similarly, ChatGPT was originally released as more or less a fun little demo, and the absolute success was surprise for OpenAI as well .

They probably managed to hit certain UX threshold where people start to find the chatting valuable/interesting, but this was really an accidental discovery.

Benefits of Using OpenStack as a Containerized Service in StarlingX
Neat project I do wonder what more could be done with the RP2350.

Note that the RP2350, being M33 based has square root, and can add 16MB of PSRAM behind the XIP that will help with the flash writing problem, The solder party RP2350 Stamp XL has a SOP8 pad to add PSRAM and is actually shipping for anyone who is looking to play with them, no connection with them, just a user.

The extra PIO block would also allow for S2C output which may be nice rather than a TPA2012D2, which will require most people to buy a breakout board anyway.

The rp2040/rp2350 series is incredible. The DMA/SIO/PIO features are just so powerful and even the esp32/stm32 seem restrictive to me to go back to. It is amazing what people are doing with them.
Okay, thank you for telling me what I want to do. You see, I thought I wanted start working on other forms of transit while still leaving cars as they are. I thought I wanted to stop saying one more lane will fix it, and actually try adding transit options. I thought I wanted to build safe sidewalks and bike infrastructure that actually goes somewhere, instead of just adding more parking lots.

I'm really glad you were here to tell me what I actually wanted. I'm glad you were here to twist my words up so bad that I finally understand that what I really wanted is to completely get rid of cars overnight, and then sit around on our thumbs and hope that someday a magic carpet will come and carry us all off to our destinations.
No, not even close.

Google helps you find things that you process later on with your brain.

With AI your brain shuts off as you offload all thinking to asking questions.
And asking questions is not thinking. Answering them is.
I've been thinking about this a lot, by coincidence, as I read Unsong by Scott Alexander (unsongbook.com). It's a beautifully written somewhat comic and somewhat tragic story about the kabbalic-turned-capitalist search for the powerful Names of God.

It occurred to me that, if the Abrahamic God exists, and the origin of Adam is anything more than a mere metaphor, God must have had to make a decision at some point. "There!", He/She/It said as the last vital chromosome fell into place in generation Aleph-1, "All this work is finally done. Whew! I could use some rest." Or something.

But maybe it's all metaphor (except for the God existing part). Maybe the Garden of Eden was Us (big-us, all the hominids) co-existing without technology, and the rise of flint-knapping/agriculture/representational art/whatever was the "eating of the fruit and gaining of knowledge".

Or any other variation you like, as long as you're not intentionally bound from thinking by a literalist view of the Torah's Book of Genesis. In which case, I have bad news: "Adam" wasn't even named that in the early writings, presumably closer to God's word. So, your translation is a bad start for you.

So, maybe the "Twelve Tribes of Israel" are themselves metaphoric for the whole set of hominin branches. Maybe "Ham" was Paranthropus. Accepting that "seven" in the bible sometimes implies "an important big number", maybe "seven" generations later (give or take a few 100) Paranthropus died out completely. Poor Ham. He was just checking to make sure Dad didn't oversleep.

Or maybe, there is no God, and it's just fun to play with myths, which are culturally powerful.
I just don't see how it holds water at all to say that Christianity was what caused the abolition of slavery, when just as many Christians were in favour of it.

This does not mean that language in humans isn't probabilistic in nature. You seem to think that because there is structure then it must be rule based but that doesn't follow at all.

When a group of birds fly, each bird discovers/knows that flying just a little behind another will reduce the amount of flaps it needs to fly. When you have nearly every bird doing this, the flock form an interesting shape.

'Birds fly in a V shape' is essentially what grammar is here - a useful fiction of the underlying reality. There is structure. There is meaning but there is no rule the birds are following to get there. No invisible V shape in the sky constraining bird flight.
Maybe twenty years ago, Google Translate had a fun bug with the word "amistad." In Spanish->English mode, it would correctly translate this to "friendship." If you added an exclamation mark, it would translate with the exclamation mark, so "amistad!" became "friendship!" If you added more, it would add to the translation, so "amistad!!!" became "friendship!!!" Except if you used exactly five exclamation marks, no more and no less, it would translate "amistad!!!!!" to "murder!"

This statement is false, both the German and French legal systems do not have something like discovery. To confirm for yourself just Google "is there something like discovery in the German/French legal system". Considering that many legal systems are based on these two (one could argue the German one is based on the French as well) I think we can conclude that not having discovery is in fact common.

Here is a link how the German system works without it. It also explains why for German legal practitioners it is a concept that violates some of the core principles of fair justice.

I was a young teen in Brazil in the 70's. And yes, when it came to first powered flight, it was, "what? The Who Bros.? Everyone knows it was Santos-Dumont!". And this was settled, and impervious to any argument. It wasn't really about who flew first. It was a cultural phenomenon, and my first clue that history is all about who writes it, and why. (This phenomenon was satirized in the original Star Trek series, which had a running gag involving Mr. Chekov and his alternate histories. Gulf of America, anyone?)

BTW WaPo, neither the Wrights or Santos-Dumont "invented" the airplane. As with so many of these things there were many contributors. Otto Lillienthal, who the Wrights credited as an inspiration (and who as the first plane crash fatality?) had already flow many times. Even Da Vinci explored the idea.
Oh, facial bones. Now Im less confused. I think the layman would call that a skull fragment.
You can still slip malware into a reproducible build, but you have to do it in the open. If you do it via injecting a tampered-with artifact via some side channel which is specific to your target, they will end up with a hash that doesn't agree with the one that is trusted by rest of the community, and will have reason for suspicion.

That benefit goes away if the rest of the community all have hashes that don't agree with each other. Then the tampered-with one doesn't stand out.

Testing the latest AI tools for prototyping and building simple websites
I can't speak for Rich Harris, but Svelte and Sveltekit were never created as part of any company. These tools were created organically.

To my knowledge, Rich is just an employee of Vercel where they pay him to work on it full time. Despite that, I believe that Svelte still aims to remain independent. I imagine that Vercel just wanted him in-house so they could keep their eye on the latest developments in the js-framework space.
Vaild concern, most likely thinking tokens were not counted due to API reporting changes.
I'm wondering where the "forks" translation came from in the first place. Google Translate used to be fairly reliable for simple translations, but I've seen several examples in the last couple of years where it goes batshit crazy, including starting to loop hallucinating sentences on repeat. Is absolutely nobody checking how well it performs before deploying nowadays?
I understand the mechanism you're tracing, but it feels like there's a category error here. Everything you're saying hinges on the circumstantiality of human reaction and interactions, which is extremely hard to model in a credible way and easy to become colored by subjective biases informed by things like TV and movies. Those channels of recognition and reporting that would lead to positive identification, are nebulous idiosyncratic and depend too much on speculation.

It's not to say it wouldn't ever happen, but there's an order of magnitude difference between that and guaranteed positive identification which is what informs the calculated risk.

I think the best hope for native Linux gaming at this point is that the Steam deck and Proton in general becomes so popular it makes it worth it to consider native Linux too.
FWIW, "forks" is "tenedores" in Spanish... not that that illuminates the mystery.
That expectations on liberals are typically much much higher. First, people will blame liberals for not being super perfectly uber polite. Then they turn around and accept atrocious behavior on the conservative side with a word of complaint.

Second, while liberal politicians share blame for every online asshole who is liberal, conservative online assholes are excused and their politicians never share blame for that. Even when actual conservative representatives act rudely, someone will point out both are the same, because some liberal online troll something.

Third, very consistently, bad or stupid behavior on the republican side is claimed to be fault of liberals who made them do it. It is always backslash and conservatives are not to blame for their own behavior. I never seen reversed claim. If an SJW feminist do something wrong, it is never "backslash" to misogyny or bad behavior on the conservative side.

Thank you for Exstism. My main request is that you keep the core interface as simple and forkable as is feasible. You're certainly incentivized to make it as complicated as possible so only your team can maintain it, but I hope you're able to find a sustainable business model that doesn't go down that path.
It means you can build it yourself, and know the source code you have, is all there is.

It validates that publicly available downloads aren't different from what is claimed.

I've been calling this out since ChatGPT went mainstream.

The seductive promise of solving all your problems is the issue. By reaching for it to solve any problem at an almost instinctual level you are completely failing to cultivate an intrinsically valuable skill - that of critical reasoning.

That act of manipulating the problem in your head—critical thinking—is ultimately a craft. And the only way to become better at it is by practicing it in a deliberate, disciplined fashion.

This is why it's pretty baffling to me when I see attempts at comparing LLMs to the invention of the calculator. A calculator is still used IN SERVICE of a larger problem you are trying to solve.
That is a question of source. If you read the article on GoL instead ( https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2025/03/linux-kernel-6-14-out-... ) you would have already read that:

Elixir does some computations as well but when we had to compute 3D luts based on video processing algorithms, Ghislain had to write them in C to be fast enough for our needs on embedded hardware.
You dont still believe that do you?
As soon as you give those characters magic meanings then suddenly people will have reason to want to use them— it'll be a CSV containing localization strings for tooltips that contain that character and bam, we'll be back to escaping.

Except the usages of that character will be rare and so potentially way more scary. At least with quotes and commas, the breakages are everywhere so you confront them sooner rather than later.
It's a carry over from powerbi actually, separate function entirely.

> despite being completely detached from useful skills for a wide swathes of degrees

It's a nice suggestion, but it's one that isn't supported by the evidence. Even controlling for other factors, a college degree makes more productive workers. And given that it's controlling for other factors, "selection bias" becomes a hard argument to make. STEMbros get real arrogant about their degrees (I have one; I've seen it first hand), but like it or not the person with an English degree still learned a lot of useful skills.

Going to uni to major in a specific career is how you get screwed when available careers change.
It's probably not, but the current administration doesn't want to pay any of the bills for the people producing their food. A penny spent on the less fortunate is one that doesn't go into their pockets.
Why do you seem to feel that OOP defines a specific set of features, for instance virtual functions?

There are many different OOP styles out there. All one needs to do is to look at the languages that originated the concept, such as SIMULA and Smalltalk to see that they weren't channeling the exact same ideas.

REST vs. gRPC for APIs
Extremely low bit quantization makes me curious why it is so effective.

Why is it better to run a bigger model with more parameters at lower accuracy?

Obviously more parameters are better, but why is that the case exactly? For that you need to understand that a transformer layer consists of the self attention mechanism followed by a bog standard feedforward network (usually multiple MLPs). Most of the parameters are here.

My personal theory is based on the fact that ReLU is the simplest possible activation function that works, yet all it does is clamp negative values to zero. How could a network use that for learning?

The answer to the question is quite simple. If you have weights w_i that are negative and take the sum = \sum_i w_i times x_i plus positive bias, then throw that into ReLU, you will get a boolean function that turns off when the negative sum is smaller than the bias. This means you can build a comparison operator using ReLU. Take it a few steps further and you can probably implement any arbitrary boolean function directly in each row of your MLP.

This means that most of the precision is only really needed during training, because you want a nicely continuosly differentiable function for gradient descent, but the model itself is mostly operating on a form of fuzzy boolean logic.

This means that the embedding length, basically the size of a token, plays a key role in the ability to encode these mostly binary concepts.

Bigger models have wider tokens. That's why bigger models with low bit quantization outperform smaller models with high bit quantization.
That and it's only in reading A LOT that builds the proficiency needed to absorb, evaluate, comprehend, and respond to other documents you will eventually come upon. Whether it is reading for enjoyment and allowing a virtual world to wash over you, while simultaneously scanning your eyes across a page, or reading a scientific paper to understand the research topic and results well enough, to know when to review and reread for context and understanding.

Some level of long focus and deeper awareness of written material is necessary to create anything substantially new and massage it into what you actually desire.

Unsettling thoughts of Google's former CEO about AI
That's actually a pretty good idea, thanks.

FWIW I'm a bit torn on this. I think most websites should host both HTTP/2/3 with TLS, but also plaintext HTTP/1.1 as a fallback.
Well, back in my day, we used tabs for tabs.

But then some folks came along about 15 years ago screaming about spaces, and they won, so now tabs are 2 or 4 spaces.

The law of unintended consequences strikes again!

Can't there be some magic sequence (like two unescaped newlines) to start a new record?
I am sorry to hear. I understand it may be something out of your control but it seems you have clearly identified some "smells" that would be worth spending some time investigating.

For example, you can't have loops in deps, and therefore ~250 deps should not print a 6500 thousand entries long tree. At least, for this particular problem, you can isolate your project structure, without any code, and try to reproduce it externally. And, while you can override deps, the goal of an umbrella is to share dependencies, so overriding an umbrella sibling dependency is a smell too.

You said it's an enormous Jenga tower that's risky to breath around but it seems at the same time no one wants to invest on an air purifier. If it is of any help, you can look at the Remote case on the Elixir website (https://elixir-lang.org/blog/2025/01/21/remote-elixir-case/), they have a large codebase, around 15k files, 300 engineers (several dozens being Elixir ones), and while their codebase is healthy, you can see they had to invest on some "bottlenecks" that appeared along the way, such as CI times. And the need to invest in the code base itself will be true of any language as time passes. Best of luck!
