This is really cool. I agree with your point that a human would also struggle to book a flight for someone but what I take from that is conversation is not the best interface for picking flights. I am not really sure how you beat a list of available flights + filters. There are a lot of criteria: total fight time, price, number of stops, length of layover, airline, which airport if your destination is served by multiple airports. I couldn't really communicate to anyone how I weigh those and it shifts over time.
>> FWIW, what I want most in Solvespace is a way to do chamfers and fillets.

I've outlined a function for that and started to write the code. At a high level it's straight forward, but the details are complex. It'll probably be a year before it's done.

>> And a way to define parameters (not sure if that's already possible).

This is an active work in progress. A demo was made years ago, but it's buggy and incomplete. We've been working out the details on how to make it work. I hope to get the units issue dealt with this week. Then the relation constraints can be re-integrated on top - that's the feature where you can type arbitrary equations on the sketch using named parameters (variables). I'd like that to be done this year if not this summer.
How about a number of grad level genetics courses? Does that beat your google search? Because that is what I have. And what I am telling you is what happens.

This is really easily searched (as you said).

You might read up on it if interested. Check out why inbreeding can lead to expression of genetic defects. What is the mechanism? (hint: it's not "losing gene diversity" or "suppression").
Not sure if we are following the same demoparties but I still see plenty of great demos, intros, music, etc. being released. I do see new compos being add liked Modern GFX, Animations, Photo, and Videos but I dont feel that deminish the creativity of the Demoscene.

On a side note, I am looking forward to this year Revision demoparty.
No one links their ai code, you noticed?
There seems to be a rise in some sort of 'anti-intellectual' sentiment that has gotten popular over the decades. For me, I saw similar things on Facebook in 2009 when I graduated.

I suspect if you go back a decade again, to the late 1990s, you may find some prevalence there. I'm unsure of its origins, but it seems more prominent with middle aged and younger millennials and gen z.

I never see nor hear of this sentiment from Gen X or older millennials.

I think in some respects, it mirrors the rise of anti-corporate anti-elite thinking. That these mandatory books put in front of are used as tools of the apparatus that perpetuate systemic societal ills.

Historically though, the counter culture thing to do was to read lots of literature - often literature published by small outlets and other controversial pieces however there was an expectation of simply reading and learning for the greater good.
The alternative to a company that is hiding real coupon codes and stealing affiliate marketing dollars?

Honestly, there's no good answer here because most of the work is manual, not automated, and there are a lot of opportunities for bad actors. It's just a bad model in general.

I like to say that baseball goes perfectly with radio: it can be enjoyed as a low bitrate entertainment.

That said there’s actually a fair amount going on during any one play; who’s warming up in the pen? Where are fielders shifting to? What’s the lead off look like? television and radio both edit most of this out to focus on the pitcher or the hitter, which I think makes baseball less interesting to watch or listen to than to attend. Of course you might want to bring some extra entertainment to the park, just in case

Every sport hits this sort of threshold where they ban optimization. Swimming did it with 'sharkskin' suits and long distance running with Nike's Alphafly and Vaporfly shoes.

Maybe that's where advanced baseball bats will end up eventually.
> You’re free to support apartheid but I’ve never found slandering your opposition particularly useful

You say, as you slander your opposition.

If you proudly proclaim your hypocrisy like this, is it really any surprise that the rest of your moral argument falls flat?
You are right, lots of people are under impression that there is a “dedicated attacker”.

The reality is there are loads of “opportunistic attackers”.

Then you also have to realize all is automated so there is no one hand picking stuff so basically harvesters running over those easy credentials. Successful ones are notified to the attackers. So running those harvesters is low effort and low investment - but even single one lucky hit can be a big payoff.

Then imagine big payoff for someone in 3rd world countries is $100.

Thank you for sharing your experience!

This is something I’ve been curious about. Can you speak more about how you got into it? What kind of research did you do before getting started? Did you know anyone else who had done it before you got into it?
I regret this showing of disrespect, but I'm a little proud of the fact that I got an A in inorganic chemistry by reading the book when I felt like reading it and otherwise doing homework on my laptop all semester during lectures.
Well, I can't tell personally, but good on OP for being able to tell.
It's convenience. And people pay for convenience all the time.
> The very first sentence in this wikipedia article:

If you're going to lawyer from the Wikipedia article, don't selectively quote from it. There's the rest of that paragraph:

> Often, forced disappearance implies murder whereby a victim is abducted, may be illegally detained, and is often tortured during interrogation, ultimately killed, and the body disposed of secretly. The party committing the murder has plausible deniability as there is no evidence of the victim's death.

> This sounds very much like what's happening, with maybe the exception of "refusal to acknowledge the person's fate". Is that your gripe? That we know they've been sent to a country outside the protection of the law?

Where's the secrecy? There's literal court case about the Venezuelans sent to El Salvador. Where's the "refusal to acknowledge the person's fate or whereabouts"? They're in El Salvador or that Louisiana immigration detention center. But more importantly: where's the torture, where's the murder, where's the secret disposal of the bodies?

There's bad stuff going on here, but call a spade a spade, don't exaggerate it into a flame-throwing battle-axe.
The laws are plenty harsh for dealers.

The key word here (and this is something I fight personally) is consuming. You don’t learn anything by consuming it; you only learn by doing it. So being able to watch the lecture at 2X is only helping if it makes more time to do the exercises.

But doing the exercises is hard (much like physical exercise, that pain is in fact the signal that you’re making progress). And the more time we spend just consuming, the less natural it feels to work.

It’s so easy to blast through a lecture or speed read a text and feel like you accomplished “learning”. That illusion is destroyed as soon as you have to actually do something (in school, that’s usually write an essay or pass a test).

In other words, the bottleneck has never been how fast you can consume the text. It’s how fast you can do the work to internalize the knowledge.
Yeah, the DeepSeek budget wasn't 6M by any means.

> the $5-6M cost of training is misleading. It comes from the claim that 2048 H800 cards were used for one training, which at market prices is upwards of $5-6M. Developing such a model, however, requires running this training, or some variation of it, many times, and also many other experiments (item 3 below). That makes the cost to be many times above that, not to mention data collection and other things, a process which can be very expensive (why? item 4 below). Also, 2048 H800 cost between $50-100M. The company that deals with DC is owned by a large Chinese investment fund, where there are many times more GPUs than 2048 H800.

I think there are times where it's ok to treat a function like a black box--cases where anything that makes the test pass will do because the test is in fact an exhaustive evaluation of what that code needs to do.

We just need to be better about making it clear which code is that way and which is not.
Congratulations Armin and curious to that "what's next" (it's a bit of a cliff hanger in the post)
Great blog with a lot of good stuff. Loved their Scalable In Memory Dragonfly Swarm post, for example. https://www.dragonflydb.io/blog/announcing-dragonfly-swarm-s...

I do wish they did more to show folks how to go deeper in integrating Dragonfly. A readme update 2 years ago talked about a native distributed log that would offer super fast option for integrators. That's the sort of super neat stuff that will entice geeks to come play: not just redis but faster, but having a deeper connection to the machine, to seeing what else is possible. https://github.com/dragonflydb/dragonfly/blame/main/README.m...

Is almost impossible to defend when done by a particular team. No other team has managed the kind of sustained success with it that the Eagles have. If it was impossible to defend surely other teams would be using it too.

Tom Brady also had similar success with the standard old QB sneak during his career and I don't recall attempts to ban that.
Me either, but it wouldn’t be unreasonable if the target has 32-bit ALUs but only 16 address lines and no MMU.
> The most important thing is doing rigorous evals that are representative of what your users do in your product. Often this is not the same as academic benchmarks.

OMFG thank you for saying this. As a core contributor to RA.Aid, optimizing it for SWE-bench seems like it would actively go against perf on real-world tasks. RA.Aid came about in the first place as a pragmatic programming tool (I created it while making another software startup, Fictie.) It works well because it was literally made and tested by making other software, and these days it mostly creates its own code.

Do you have any tips or suggestions on how to do more formalized evals, but on tasks that resemble real world tasks?
Well, that's the other half of the problem. Or the other edge of the sword of easy entrance exams. You get literally tens of thousands of kids that can get that 35 or 36 on the ACT. If you throw in the kids with the 34's it's even more ridiculous. And Harvard has maybe 2000 spots. (But probably not.)

The exams are just not providing enough separation.
I dunno what you would consider non trivial. I am building a diffing plugin for neovim. The experience is.. mixed. The fast progression at the start was impressive, but now as the code base have grown the issues show up. The code is a mess. Adding one feature breaks another and so on.
I have no problem in using the agent on code that I know very well, because I can stir it in the exact direction I want. But vibe coding something I don't fully understand is a pain.

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

"The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 deemed immigrants who were anarchists or members of or affiliated with the Communist Party or any other totalitarian organizations that plan to overthrow the United States as deportable immigrants. Immigrants who were successors of any association of Communism, regardless of name changes, still fell under the deportable immigrants. Immigrants who advocated, taught, wrote, published in support for communism, a totalitarian dictatorship, and the overthrowing of the United States were also deportable immigrants."
Everything was coded by AI.
well Wasm had the promise of giving near native speed, but since they still don't offer direct write/share of memory it results in abysmal FPS.
It's certainly helpful to be more literate, if nothing more than to ensure you are understood by others. For example, your comment's readability is improved by adding punctuation and some extra words:

> Could it be that people of today that have grown up reading prose that is mostly to get to the point, and convey what is needed now do not have the ability to meander like that? If so, does this make them "illiterate"?

Could it be that people of today have grown up reading prose that is mostly focused on getting to the point, conveying only what is needed, so much that they lack the ability to meander like fiction writers? If so, does this make them "illiterate"?
I'm genuinely confused. Where's the double part?

What you call an "unwritten constitution" is the fundamental idea behind common law, which is basically the default in majority-English-speaking countries. Outside the Anglosphere[0] the standard is "civil law", which means that the law is only the stuff that was actually written down and decided upon by the parliamentary body. Everything else is optional; you aren't forced to "obey precedent", but may "follow jurisprudence" if such rulings provide relevant argumentation to the facts of the case.

This isn't a left/right thing, it's a British/French thing. And being a former British colony, America is very strictly a common law country. That's why we even have to care about the Supreme Court at all. The Constitution merely says that there is a thing called a "Supreme Court", and that Congress can make more courts if it wants to. In the early days of America, SCOTUS got handed to them a constitutional crisis, squinted at the Constitution, remembered how common law precedent actually works, and said, "well, that means we have the power of judicial review".

So naturally, the Constitution always has an unwritten component; to get rid of that would be effectively making a new Constitution. What people are squabbling over is what should and shouldn't be in the unwritten component, not whether or not it exists. Originalism and textualism deny the unwritten component, but nobody is actually an Originalist or textualist. There's no historical justification for the people who wrote the Constitution to want a civil law interpretation of it. Remember, they were all British lawyers and politicians. What Originalists and textualists are actually doing is using their ideology as an excuse to overturn precedent they don't like. If they were really Originalists, they'd be shutting SCOTUS down.

> AFAIK statements /are/ essentially expressions that yield `()`

This isn't true. The inverse is true, "expression statements" can turn an expression into a statement.

What you're seeing in the playground is just how blocks are defined[1]:

> The syntax for a block is {, then any inner attributes, then any number of statements, then an optional expression, called the final operand, and finally a }.

In this case, you have one statement, and no optional expression.

And so:

> The type of a block is the type of the final operand, or () if the final operand is omitted.

So that's how this works.

Now, that being said, I don't think it's too terrible of a mental model to think of this situation in that way. But if we're getting into nitty-gritty details, that's not actually how it works.

Thank you for the thoughtful response. I too have struggled with fighting these network effects. And I am disheartened to see so many parents who just blindly let their children play these harmful games. Then parents like us, who do see the negatives, feel forced to let our children play so that they don’t become ostracised from their social groups.

Fortnite is another excellent example of introducing gambling to minors with their sales of loot boxes, which the FTC has fined for $245M. Recently one of my children asked to play Genshin Impact because their classmates were all hooked on the game. I was firm in saying that I did not want my children to play gacha games which were designed to fool players into gambling on loot boxes and paying to win. Instead I tried to get them to switch to another game without these poisonous mechanics.

I’ve always been hesitant to be too forceful in getting children off these bad game platforms because I didn’t want to be labeled as the bad parent who took away their fun and in turn causing issues for my children at school. But I think my new strategy is just to buy their friends games to play that I feel are more constructive such as Minecraft instead of playing freemium mobile games.

I just hope more parents become aware of the negative and addictive aspects that these games pose to children. I strongly believe that one day we will look back at this industry and it will be compared to the tobacco industry and the harm it caused.
It really isn't. Oracle has had a terrible reputation since forever, and every ex-Sun engineer I've met has taken great pains to explain they did not join Oracle voluntarily.

It's kind of like working for a tobacco company or arms manufacturer in payroll or something: you're not directly responsible for killing millions of people, but by choosing to work there you're still kind of condoning it.
These "most" people might be country specific.

I make cheese myself (both fresh and year-long aged ones) and virtually all the people I met knew what real cheese was.

If it is the "ultra-processed" cheese what you are referring to, that might not be liked by some but that's still cheese, regardless of its plastic-y feel.
I'm kind of glad for that. There are certainly some ideas I wish Go adopted--I could do without zero types and I wish there were enum types. But I'm glad Go eschews monads and higher kinded types and functional syntax and inheritance and exceptions and classes. I'm also glad Go introduced ecosystem-wide style checking, effortless static compilation by default, ~zero config build tooling, test/profiling/etc tooling built into the standard toolchain, low latency garbage collection, etc etc etc. I'm glad it does not require dedicated package or documentation publishing steps.

> There are already many better languages out there.

Not really. Even if you're just looking for a reasonably productive mainstream language with effortless native, static compilation Go is likely the only language that fits the bill.
Might be someone implying that electron is a superior (modern) solution. Which, if so, I whole heartedly disagree with.
Genuine question I was wondering when this went down - wasn’t this completely unknown at the time? If that’s the case, I feel like I can’t blame those who promoted it. I don’t have all the info though.
you have to dump a csv from the microsoft website. i linked the relevant parts below. I spent ~8 hours with copilot making a react "app" to someone else's spec, and most of it was moving things around and editing CSS back and forth because copilot has an idea of how things ought be, that didn't comport with what I was seeing on my screen.

However the MVP went live and everyone was happy. Code is on my github, "EMD" - conversation isn't. https://github.com/genewitch/emd

i'd link the site but i think it's still in "dev" mode and i don't really feel like restoring from a snapshot today.

note: i don't know javascript. At all. It looks like boilerplate and line noise to me. I know enough about programming to be able to fix things like "the icons were moving the wrong way", but i had to napkin it out (twice!) and then consult with someone else to make sure that i understood the "math", but i implemented the math correctly and copilot did not. Probably because i prompted it in a way that made its decision make more sense. see lines 2163-2185 in the link below for how i "prompt" in general.

note 2: http://projectftm.com/#I7bSTOGXsuW_5WZ8ZoLSPw is the conversation, as best i can tell. It's in reverse chronological order (#2944 - 2025-12-14 was the actual first message about this project, the last on 2025-12-15)

note 3: if you do visit the live site, and there's an error, red on black, just hit escape. I imagine the entire system has been tampered with by this point, since it is a public server running port 443 wide open.
I had a linear algebra teacher who would not speak to us. Literally conducted most classes in complete silence. His English wasn't great but manageable - that wasn't the issue. He would just walk into class without acknowledging us and proceed to solve out the previous homework problems. Then he'd introduce a few other problems (written on the whiteboard, nothing verbal) and keep writing. This was presumably similar to our next assignment, which he handed out at the end of class before leaving. Often zero words spoken for the 50 minute class. All of the solutions were available without going to class. So I didn't.

If the university isn't going to invest anything in lecturing, why should I attend the lectures?
Yes I have completely switched to using DeepSeek for everything. It is better than Anthropic, OpenAI in everyway.

These systems are not that expensive and save money.

> I'm not sure this is fixable?

Not from Apple's end.

Apple mandates that all requests for permissions go through a single, OS-provided dialog. If a user accepts, the permission is granted; if the user rejects, the permission is not granted, and the app can't ask again. Simple enough.

App developers try to maximize their chances of getting that permission granted by adding another warm-up dialog before actually doing the official permissions request. Since those other dialogs aren't part of Apple's permissions request chain, they can be rejected by the user without consequence, and the app can present them as often as it wants.

There is nothing which requires third-party developers to use these additional dialogs. It's a design pattern (and an annoying one at that) which many developers have gravitated towards. Not all developers use it; in particular, Apple doesn't use it for their first-party apps. And apparently FCA is faulting Apple for not following that pattern themselves.
You pay in other ways.

I understand if you have absolutely no money, but even then repeatedly trying to provision a server and getting a error- something like no capacity available - isn't a fun time.

Whatever, I'll pay 7$ a month to not deal with that.
Humans will always have a thing for human interaction (hopefully?). They may become more niche, but I don't see them going away. Just like board game cafes are a relatively niche thing but exist despite the dominance of video games.
