Clang now has "frozen poison" is because the original poison was essentially a flawed concept that lead to incorrect optimizations. I certainly do no think we should import this into the C standard.

I similar to the Microsoft guys inventing time-travel UB which lead to their compiler being broken. As a standard committee we need to push back against such nonsense instead of endorsing it. I am all for formalizing this stuff precisely though.

> This also means we can do things aurally while still maintaining focus/attention on what we're doing visually, allowing a kind of multitasking.

Maybe you, but I most definitely cannot focus on different things aurally and visually. I never successfully listened to something in the background while doing something else. I can't even talk properly if I'm typing something on a computer.
Maybe I just bought a bad ZJ. My daughter used it for a few years as her first car and despite it trying to set itself on fire she did have a certain affection for it.

I’d still crawl over 50 ZJ to get to one good XJ though.

Oh wow. That video is 12 years old. Early in the presentation Travis reveals he used Dragon back then.

Do you recall Swype keyboard for Android? The one that popularized swyping to write on touch screens? It had Dragon at some point.

IT WAS AMAZING.

Around 12-14 years ago (Android 2.3? Maybe 3?) I was able to easily dictate full long text messages and emails, in my native tongue, including punctuation and occasional slang or even word formation. I could dictate a decent long paragraph of text on the first try and not have to fix a single character.

It's 2025 and the closest I can find is a dictation app on my newest phone that uses online AI service, yet it's still not that great when it comes to punctuation and requires me to spit the whole paragraph at once, without taking a breath.

Is there anything equally effective for any of you nowadays? That actually works across the whole device?
Watching them throw Sanders and then Corbyn under the bus was a wake up call for me. It's not the leftist paper it makes out to be, but strongly establishment.

Title should not have been altered.
This clearly elucidated a number of things I've tried to explain to people who are so excited about "conversations" with computers. The example I've used (with varying levels of effectiveness) was to get someone to think about driving their car by only talking to it. Not a self driving car that does the driving for you, but telling it things like: turn, accelerate, stop, slow down, speed up, put on the blinker, turn off the blinker, etc. It would be annoying and painful and you couldn't talk to your passenger while you were "driving" because that might make the car do something weird. My point, and I think it was the author's as well, is that you aren't "conversing" with your computer, you are making it do what you want. There are simpler, faster, and more effective ways to do that then to talk at it with natural language.

It's American exceptionalism at its best. They believe America is subsidizing the world when, in fact, it is the other way around. The world is subsidizing the American lifestyle.

That's why you see China jumping onto the global stage and following exactly the same playbook that the USA did after World War II—building connections and trading partners, investing in other countries, and subsidizing them because they see it as a long-term investment that will benefit China far more in the future than what they invest now.

Home runs are not "balls in play," though. So are we to go to a binary game, which amounts to whiffs or homers?

Also I don't think your assertion that batters have "fallen behind" pitchers holds up. Shohei Ohtani just became the first player to have 50 homers and 50 stolen bases.
Fascinating perspective. I understand your point, and agree with it generally. I will point out though that this doesn't really have anything to do with Continuity or any "feature" per-se. It doesn't really have anything to do with "parental controls", that was just the daemon that was exploited. You don't have to have a "child" user account to be vulnerable to this. Every user account is vulnerable to it.
Unspecified means you pick a value at a specific point in time (the standard defines this point in time) and then you treat is a regular value. It is not the same as poison. It might be similar to frozen poison, but I am not 100% sure about clang does there.

"Like writing, my ChatGPT conversation is a thinking process – not an interaction that happens post-thought" - Brilliant! I have worked on computers and language for over 30 years and the ups and downs certainly make such a passion a CLA (career limiting activity). I am adding the citation to my bibtex file ..
Agreed. Should have mentioned it in this post or at least linked back to my source.
Seems not really or only partially anyway; I cannot see, with disasters like Fauna, that anyone would trust their core stuff with something not open source. But maybe it's just me. I need to be able to switch and sure, I can switch to the open source fork libSQL (open core I think, so nope) (which they are rewriting to Rust for some bizarre reason; sqlite is one of the most readable, robust and well tested codebases in the business so it looks like burning vc money, but whatever), but once my business depends on their offline / replication / etc, then I cannot switch to anything, so never going to happen.

Again, opinion. It's core infra, in my opinion at least that should never depend on others or, if the others inevitably screw you over for a few $, you need to be able to move without possibly bankrupting your company.
Anything people ask a human to do instead of a computer.

Humans are not the most reliable. If you're ok giving the task to a human then you're ok with a lower level of relisbility than a traditional computer program gives.

Simple example: Notify me when a web page meaningfully changes and specify what the change is in big picture terms.

We have programs to do the first part: Detecting visual changes. But filtering out only meaningful changes and providing a verbal description? Takes a ton of expertise.

With MCP I expect that by the end of this year a nonprogrammer will be able to have an LLM do it using just plugins in a SW.
Wow! That's an incredible real-world impact
> Why is that quote in the piece? I don't get the analogy.

I liked the quote because what it conveys is that you can't control everything. You can't control the way people freak out about things on Twitter. You can't control an influx of new tools. But what you can control is the way you react to them – not giving in to the chaos, but instead approaching the changes with a cool head. And the Netflix show it's from, Midnight Gospel, is pretty good. I do agree that the house analogy could be better though.

Did you know the US, unlike the others, includes pensions as "military spending"? But yeah, now ... They will raise it to the required 2 % (which a lot already do)

Simplistic interpretation, demand increases, supply and price changes occur inline with the demand. More external supply at a lower price, more people buy avocados.
What do you mean by "lighter than a React button"? Do you mean lighter than the entire React runtime, plus a React button?

If so, that's somewhat disingenuous because even though a page with a single button would require the entire runtime, a second React button would be significantly cheaper than that.
When societies get advanced enough that all the basic needs are covered, a new generation arises where people think we can go back to a simpler past and ditch all that ugly gray industrial scientific technocratic globalistic etc etc ( add more scary qualifiers ) things that are perceived to be the the reason why things are bad and never ever concede that these things play an important role in enabling the safe environment where those very thoughts can be entertained.

All his reasons for not using an LLM make sense only if you're a tech guy who has programming skills.

Have a conversation with a nontech person who achieves quite a bit with LLMs. Why would they give it up and spend a huge amount of time to learn programming so they can do it the "right" way, when they have a good enough solution now?
If we're calling out names, what about Roger Penrose, John Searle, Stuart Hameroff, Hubert Dreyfus, Henry Stapp? These are very intelligent people and I suggest to get acquainted with their work. Neural scaling laws are real and no matter if you put into training 10e-8 petaFLOP/days of compute or 200000 petaFLOP/days you will hit irreducible error constant at Efficient Compute Frontier.

I'm not a functionalist and my belief is that AI — especially LLMs — will never achieve real understanding or consciousness, no matter how much we scale them. Language prediction is just a computation, but human thought is more than that.
Android doesn't :(
Totally agree. Raw is great, but energy matters too. If the person sounds bored, it's hard to get excited about the product—even if it's amazing. Passion is contagious.
Why is opening the window expensive? Climate control?
Which animation exactly?
Fair enough - I don't think the laws have diverged much in this area in the last several years, and while there was always a difference in national legislation and how the actual enforcement bodies would act, there's generally more commonality than difference.

And yes, that sucks. I object very much to the "you subscribe and we still track/advertise" model, just as I object to ads creeping into paid tv streaming services now. And yes, I would expect the guardian to hold itself to a higher standard :/

NT5 beta 2, before 2000 was enshittified.

I would have stayed on it, but my video drivers (Rendition Vérité 2200) at the time were time limit locked and the next set of drivers released didn't support the betas anymore.

2000 was the next best thing, but it was definitely a step backwards from beta 2.
I'd compare it like this:

Everyone can work out at home, you can fit a basic workout setup even in a New York apartment.

People still go to the gym, why?

It's about mindset. When you're working out at home, you're at home. There's laundry and the dishes and now you're doing pushups and see the dust bunnies under the sofa.

But when you're at the gym you literally can't do anything except work out.

The same goes for watching movies at home vs the cinema.

When I "Go to the movies", I go see those kind of movies that require me to focus. I'm mentally unable to start browsing HN on my phone while I'm at a location specifically for watching movies. Mickey 17 was the latest one I saw.

But when I watch at home, I can pause, browse on my phone. Go grab more snacks and let the movie run. It's for different kinds of movies - the kind Netflix uses. Their playbook literally says that people on screen have to say what they're doing so people on their phones or in the kitchen can keep up.
Yeah, I think it's an ABET requirement for accreditation of engineering degrees.

Lots of people with an engineering title don't have an engineering degree though. And of course, passing the class doesn't mean you'll be ethical. Knowing the material and acting on it are different. Also, understanding the requirements and working right at the edge of them is engineering...
But is that really the reason?

High appetite for avocados is the reason. Maybe combined with reasonable prices or some other factors.
Importing them simply makes it possible for those purchase numbers to get that high. Means. If US would grow them in huge quantities on their own soil it would also allow for the same outcome. So how it is the reason?

My English ain't amazing, I know, but when I read "old school press" it makes me thing: am I so dumb, or are they deliberately using confusing phrasing to sound smarter than it's actually required?
There is anecdata that having a freshly wiped phone at the border is considered "sus" and might result in extra attention if someone checks.
At this point I don't even understand why everything has to be a SPA. It's complicated and inefficient and should probably be only used with highly interactive applications like some kind of Photoshop or Ableton live for the web, which means very few apps should use this paradigm. Granted, I'm not much of a frontend dev... but what I know is that if "instant search and other operations over 150,000 records" is a problem then it's probably best to re-think the paradigm.
Strong agreement on this one. I’ve been referring to this as a UI/UX cul de sac to anyone who’ll listen for a while now.

> To put the writing and speaking speeds into perspective, we form thoughts at 1,000-3,000 words per minute. Natural language might be natural, but it’s a bottleneck.

We might form fleeting thoughts much faster than we can express them, but if we want to formulate thoughts clearly enough to express them to other people, I think we're close to the ~150 words per minute we can actually speak.

I recently listened to a Linguistics podcast (lingthusiasm, though I don't recall which episode) where they talked about the efficiency of different languages, and that in the end they all end up roughly the same, because it's really the thought processes that limit the amount of information you communicate, not the language production.
To me natural language interfaces are like the mouse-driven menu vs terminal interpreter. They allow good discoverability in systems that we don't master at the cost of efficiency.

As always, good UI allows for using multiple modalities.
Humans can extract information quicker from proper layouts. A good layout brings faster clarity in your head. What developers often get wrong: it's not just about doing something, it's also about how simple and fast to parse and understand it was (from a visual point of view as well, of course information architecture and UX matter a lot as well). Not aligning things is a slippery slope. If you can't center a div, probably all the other things that are more complex in your website / app are going to be off or even broken. Thankfully AIs can center divs by now, but proper grid systems understanding is at best frontier.
There have been other cases like this one yes, the EU fined UKIP for the same reason iirc. UKIP of course was a party that had only one policy: getting Britain out of the EU. Therefore any political activity by them was considered illegal under this policy.

In other cases the same things have been done without fines, I think, e.g. the German Greens. Because their policies align with the Commission their campaigning in Germany isn't considered "embezzlement".

The basic issue the EU has is that the Parliament isn't actually a Parliament. It's not genuinely the legislative branch because it can't change the law, which is the dictionary definition of Parliament. As a consequence it fills up with anti EU parties put there as a protest vote. These parties then want to spend their time advocating against the EU back home which is embarrassing to the EU as there is no other so-called Parliament in the world with so many members who think it shouldn't exist. These kinds of legal actions were conventionally about that.

This one has gone further because it's a way for the left to continue locking down mass immigration policies. Although you will read that Le Pen is far right in reality she is a classical left wing socialist with the policies typical of such a person, she is just against the EU and its migration policies. It's a purely ideological action, hence the ankle bracelet.
No, infinite loops aren't generally UB in C. Only when they essentially "don't do anything".

Assume that `do_something();` does some IO, and C is perfectly happy with that loop.

You could have also added extra conditions to make the loop look less infinite to the C compiler. Eg do a check in the loop body, and optionally break from it.

> Of course you still generally need to have whatever harmful code you don't want ran here to still be present in the binary somewhere, [...]

Well, assume that we are eg looking at the 'sudo' program. In any case, almost any code can become harmful, if memory gets corrupted, and if attackers control the input.
Checking out the first example—object pools—I was initially blown away that this is not only possible but it produces no warnings of any kind:

pool := sync.Pool{
New: func() any { return 42 }
}

a := pool.Get()

pool.Put("hello")
pool.Put(struct{}{})

b := pool.Get()
c := pool.Get()
d := pool.Get()

fmt.Println(a, b, c, d)

Of course, the answer is that this API existed before generics so it just takes and returns `any` (née `interface{}`). It just feels as though golang might be strongly typed in principle, but in practice there are APIs left and rigth that escape out of the type system and lose all of the actual benefits of having it in the first place.

Is a type system all that helpful if you have to keep turning it off any time you want to do something even slightly interesting?

Also I can't help but notice that there's no API to reset values to some initialized default. Shouldn't there be some sort of (perhaps optional) `Clear` callback that resets values back to a sane default, rather than forcing every caller to remember to do so themselves?
We had to transfer a few 10GBs, if not 100GBs between Europe and the US back 15yo.

Bandwidth was of 100KB/sec at most, I suggested to do that fly over things if the systems team didn't want to raise the priority of that transfer, after prod tried 3 times over the weekend, sadly, they changed the priority of that flow, it took still like 40h? For the initial load.

Captrice works in a browser on an android phone. But honestly, it's designed to be used on a desktop/laptop with a keyboard as there are some handy keybindings/shortcuts for easily controlling the metronome while playing the instrument.

If you are specifically looking for an android app, I've only found one that comes closest - Instrumentive[1]. It allows tracking time for the entire practice session besides uploaded recording of the session. Whereas my use case is to track the duration of practice at every tempo. Trying to play for extended duration seems to work well for me in terms of building endurance and muscle memory.

One can have sanitizers also for defined behavior. The issue is that a sanitizer that has no false positives is about 100x more useful than a sanitizer that has false positives. You can treat each case where a sanitizer detects signed overflow as an error, even in production. You can not do this same when the behavior is defined and not an error. (you can make it an error and still define it, but there is not much of a practical difference)
