They also conflate unsafe keyword with Rust, when its use in systems programming languages predates C by a decade.

Here is the most recent version of NEWP manual,

https://public.support.unisys.com/framework/publicterms.aspx...

Which started as ESPOL in early 1960's,

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

Binaries with unsafe code blocks are tainted, and must be white listed by admins to allow execution in first place.

This was then followed by several languages, using unsafe code blocks, pseudo packages like SYSTEM, unsafe, unchecked,..., until finally Rust came to be.

But since most C and C++ users aren't language nerds, not even reading their own ISO specification, they are unaware of the whole safety history since JOVIAL, and naturally the whole unsafe code blocks is all about Rust.
Almost every military nowadays has a people problem
Working on “AI automations for Jira” to help Jira admins create automation scripts using AI.

- secure and complaint as it runs on Atlassian

- easy to create automation as AI does the heavy lifting of creating the automation scripts for Jira

- unlimited which was a major limitation in native Atlassian offering.

We’ll see how it plays out, but this could be helping her party ultimately.

1. She is a woman. Her party is very conservative and a male figure would project more strength and attract voters that she might deter to parties further on the right (yes there are a few)

2. She is been here a long time, so she doesn’t exactly qualify as anti-establishment.

3. It makes the party looked harassed, and it is easy for them to state that “everyone is cheating, but they’re the only one paying for it”. Further cementing the image of the party as one of resistance.

4. She’s not good at debates. She gets destroyed every time.

I have been thinking for a long time that she’s the main reason why the far right doesn’t win in France. People would vote a Trumpian president for sure.
The topic was about living there, which is the usual indicator of quality of life. Tourists do not influence directly the situation of the above family of three.
> How are you getting gemini 2.5 pro for free?

I think the "AI Premium" plan of Google One includes access to all the models, including the latest ones (at least that's what it says for me in Spain): https://one.google.com/plans
> I hope this backfires on Nvidia

May I ask why? Why would you want a company to fail?
Idealism sucks ass.
Do you not consider people who voted for a proto-fascist president, if not evil, at least responsible for his wrongdoings? Do you really think we can take the middle road here? Like the two-state solution with Israel?

I don't.

This is the paradox of tolerance. The fascists will eat everyone alive if they are allowed to freely express their "opinions" and implement them on a societal scale.

While we don't believe we're the center of the universe, I believe we're limited by instrumentation to determine its size. Best guess now is 100B LY in diameter.
> doesn't matter what that process does within its own process space

Re. phones -- you assume that a process hacks another process. But a there might be vulnerability within the process itself, corrupting its own memory. Sandboxing doesn't help.
You've sent me down a really interesting rabbit hole as someone who is trying to move away from just writing and understanding how React works. Can you explain a little more why this felt worth pursuing? I'm interested in what sorts of advantages this could have.
So the universe is left handed?
You mean someone convicted of fraud using the money from that fraude to bolster her popularity was banned by a judge to compete in the elections.

Also in the case of the Romanian candidate he was helped by Russian agencies. Again convicted by a judge.

In both countries judges are not appointed politically. So what makes this that the left bans the right?
But the equation is a platonic form! Otherwise, you will be introducing a third concept, which is unnecessary b/c it has no advantage over the traditional notion of "platonic form".

> It's an attractive framework, but as almost everything in philosophy it can easily be challenged.

Michael is aware of it. He insists that every speculation has to be experimentally tested. But no experiment of this kind will constitute a "proof" - someone can always "challenge" it. This is no different from a physical theory: every interpretation of QM is challenged by someone. :-)
Fair enough. That's not a problem to me but I can see it being an issue for people requiring complete anonymity. Are there any alternatives to WhatsApp that would fix this problem?
For Gemini: play around with the temperature: the default is terrible: we had much better results with (much) lower values.
This reflects my experience 1:1... even telling 2.5 Pro to focus on the tasks given and ignore everything else leads to it changing unrelated code.
It's a frustrating experience because I believe at its core it is more capable than Sonnet 3.5/3.7
Gemini is the only model which tells me when it's a good time to stop chatting because either it can't find a solution or because it dislikes my solution (when I actively want to neglect security).

And the context length is just amazing. When ChatGPT's context is full, it totally forgets what we were chatting about, as if it would start an entirely new chat.

Gemini lacks the tooling, there ChatGPT is far ahead, but at its core, Gemini feels like a better model.
I am trying out a few new passive greenhouse concepts as well as experimenting with materials. Similarly, crossing some different brassica for hybrids.
Of course it's much more complex than that. The nature of the problems that tech now has to solve is different...
There’s alot of things that just aren’t correct in your analysis. Most obviously, you don’t understand what life expectancy is.

The US doesn’t have a fertility problem, we have interest in immigration and do a great job at keeping people poor and ignorant.

Lack of inheritance as far as that goes is mostly because for regular people, the estate tax is a casino. If you’re lucky to die quickly, your kids let stuff. If not, you’ll end up expending your assets on long term care as we don’t have a rational healthcare system, and rich people can use trusts to avoid that landmine.
Does the UK government have any enforce power to dissuade unofficial use?
I've been coding with both non stop the last few days, gemini 2.5 pro is not even close. For complicated bug solving, o1 pro is still far ahead of both. Sonnet 3.7 is best overall
I've also seen Java code that recursively calls 1 row from database at a time, a million times per request with 5ms latency per row. It's possible to willingly abuse almost any system that a reasonable person would deem perfectly performant or safe for the purpose under default conditions.

The question should less be about whether it's possible to try to abuse the system and more what it looks like in a very reasonable everyday scenario.
Yes. If (in this hypothetical) the university found something worth contacting the FBI about before Wang knew he was made, we'd expect to see FBI action first and university action second, even if the university acted immediately after. The FBI would absolutely not allow the university to tip a suspect off weeks in advance of their planned raids.
I don't know what to tell you, I'm never going to be happy about people voting against my rights or about secret police disappearing people and ignoring the court system
> For the same cost* was left out of my post.

Mac Mini M4 is cheaper than the Mac Mini m1 and has better base specs. And the MacBook Air M4 is cheaper than the MacBook Air M1 and also has better base specs.
Oh god yes

And that in the era when you could see not much of your code all at once, and trying to catch the issue with LIST was a pain too
There is a very real risk of political candidates committing political fraud, getting elected thanks to it, and putting pressure on the judiciary branch to lower their chances of getting arrested. We're seeing this exact process happen in real time in the US. Every modern country pretends that nobody is above the law and that bad people will get convicted and get sentences but in real life the government has power over this stuff.

Making ineligibility sentences immediate is a way to make sure this sort of thing doesn't happen.
Yup, gemini 2.5 is bad.
I disagree with his take on traffic jams though. Public transportation, bikes, and well designed cities really do solve traffic
Good job sandbox escapes and local root exploits never exist!
We should look at the whole legal framework, maybe it's part of the check and balances between the executive, legislative and judicial powers.
>> courts shouldn’t have the power to disqualify individuals from running for office.

Why would you want that? Didn't history teach us better?

>> Separately, here in the U.S., I take issue with the fact that ex-felons are denied the right to vote

Well, ex-felons can become Potus, so that's that.
Who says anything about programming languages? Unless all the bicycle is to you is servicing it?

Even if, the last time what you said was true was somewhere in the 80s, maybe early 90s. Afterwards, "programming" was solidly a domain of professionals, not regular users. I don't know about MacOS, but Windows didn't even ship with anything resembling a programming environment until 2010s.

Also, time and again with technology, the users didn't chose shit. Technology is thrust at them, it's first and foremost a supplier-driven phenomenon. It's the vendors that chose to gradually remove any ability of customization and end-user automation from software and devices. Initially it was under guise of UI/UX - simplify everything, avoid confusion (and making users engage with their brains). Nowadays, the software is as basic, dumb and functionality-free as it can possibly be, so the excuse shifted to security - everything an end-user can do an attacker can do, so let's take away every possible use that isn't authorized by application and OS vendors.

What makes LLMs refreshing is that, for now, they're fully general. The main chat apps don't limit what you can talk about (beyond the usual ass-covering corporate prudishness) - hell, you can use them to work around bullshit limitations regular software has to stop you from harming vendors' profits. But again, only a matter of time - users will get disenfranchised again as near-raw access to LLMs gets replaced by "AI apps".

And what do I mean limitations? Think of Copilot in Microsoft Office. If you used it in the past year, you definitely know its limitations. A monkey could hook up GPT-4 to VBA and get more functional Copilot than what Microsoft gave us. But it's not because they can't make powerful assistant - that's the easy part. The challenge they took is making as weak assistant as possible that does anything useful at all. That's the prevailing attitude in software industry, and it has been for good two decades now.
BBSes postdated internets (at the time often "catenets"), though only by a few years. They were just open to more people for a long time.
Just thinking about this infinite recursion gives me the mental equivalent of a stack overflow.
Price and officers wanting to make their mark by changing things. Those wool outfits of WWII still look excellent and are still influencing civilian fashion, but they’re probably too pricey to make for the actual military, now.
That's pretty spot on with my experience as well, though I'm a decade older.
How are you asking Gemini 2.5 to change existing code? With Claude 3.7, it's possible to use Claude Code, which gets "extremely fast but untrustworthy intern"-level results. Do you have a prefered setup to use Gemini 2.5 in a similar agentic mode, perhaps using a tool like Cursor or aider?
that would torque me off so bad...
Aha, wise potentates.

Any accounting scheme which assigns Marx blame for the consequences of his poorer ideas, has to assign far more to "wise potentate" believers. Or even people who unironically use words like "wise potentate" at all.
If your crime is so heinous as to come with life-long punishment, you should be in prison for life. If the idea of putting someone in prison for life for a particular crime makes you take pause, perhaps they shouldn't have any life-long punishment for that crime. This includes all Constitutionally-protected rights: voting, gun rights, whatever one you want to pick.
If my C++ project is a simple utility supposed to take some files, crunch numbers, and spit out results, is there still the possibility it can be used for nefarious purposes?
AI /s
This is nice and all, but the main issue with UB and C++ IMHO has never been that "nice", modern codebases are problematic - modern C++ in the hands of competent people is very nice, really. The problem is that 90% of all C++ development ATM is done either on legacy codebases full of ancient crap or with old frameworks and libraries that spam non-standard containers, raw pointers, allocate manually, ...

In my experience, introducing modern C++ in a legacy codebase is not that much easier compared to adding Rust to it. It's probably safe to argue that C++03 stands to C++26 almost like K&R C stood to the original C++
For those wondering whether this is targeted harrassment, France has a long history of this kind of sentence for people of all political stripes. Wikipedia has 108 pages covering just the most significant ones: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat%C3%A9gorie:Personnalit%C3%...
This is a good question. There's a big difference in being able to write coherent code and "needle in the haystack" questions. I've found that Claude is able to do the needle in the haystack questions just fine with a large context, but not so with coding. You have to work to keep the context low (around 15% to 20% in projects) to get coherent code that doesn't confabulate.
Why the /s? recapturing waste heat and using it to reduce your energy consumption seems like a good idea if you can get it to work
So... wait, should she just be allowed do multi-million euro frauds because she's so special? Like, if I did that, I would expect to go to prison. What's so different about her?
Not with anything near the frequency of Windows. The last such thing I remember doing is restarting the locate indexing service with launchctl. I do lots of things in the command line, of course, but not so much to configure MacOS itself.
I understand this perfectly. The point is that 1) memory safety is a small part of the overall picture. 2) in practice people will not build perfectly safe abstractions that are then used by 100% memory-safe code, but they will create a mess.
I mean easy in the PDF sense. I have folders full of randomString.pdf and name(15).pdf but those that share a folder all have the same layout.
From the point of view of the journalist writing that article, it's still alleged - only that now a court agrees with the allegations. But the court could be mistaken - it has happened before. It is only in a strictly legal sense that it is not alleged anymore, but proven (and there is still the appeal).
I think O1 Pro Mode is so infrequently used by others (because of the price) so I've just started added "besides O1 Pro Mode, if you have access" in my head when someone says "This is the best available model for X".

It really is miles ahead of anything else so far, but also really pricey so makes sense some people try to find something close to it with much lower costs.
One interesting fact about C. elegans is that the way the grow from 1 cell to adult (~1000 cells) is almost completely reproducible between different worms.

I.e. the pattern of cell division and the positions and identities of the cells is very fixed, with known timing etc.

Compare this to mammalian development, where even at the early stages, development becomes less rigid and operates by "course correction", rather than by following strict sequences.

(I studied the early development of C. elegans for my PhD)
> If you mean calculations in low precision, that's also already a decade old if not more.

More like since the history of computing. 1990s era graphics cards made use of FP16 formats and before that people did fixed point math approximations because FP hardware was so slow.
Because that saying originated as a US bourgeois thing, people willing to liberate themselves from really caring for the other (much poorer) people living just besides them in exchange for writing some code. Just look at the streets of San Francisco, for example, not much sharing there.

And before someone mentioning that people like Torvalds and such other open-source luminaries are not technically Americans, they’re Americans in spirit, and by this point they’ve already got either US citizenship or a US green card, not to mention the hefty comps coming via US tech colossuses (either directly or indirectly).

As the original article mentions, the secret to all this tech non-sense is to log out and experience life, while always remembering that Uncle Ted was right.
APUE is a National Treasure, but I think LPI has long surpassed it as what you should keep within from your desk chair. LPI is a goldmine and the gift that keeps on giving, but this book looks like a nice easing into it. Instabuy!
The service seems designed to bypass anti-scraping measures. If site owners don't want their content scraped by AI this is subverting their will.

It also obfuscates responsibility between the AI vendor and the scraping service. One can imagine unethical AI providers using a series of ephemeral "gateways" to access content while avoiding any legal or reputational harm.
Google has shown that you get the biggest benefit by writing new code in memory-safe languages, so it's not like security doesn't drastically improve until you've rewritten everything.
I noticed a similar trends in selling on X. Put a claim, peg on some product A with good sales - Cursor, Claude, Gemini, etc. Then say, the best way to use A is with our best product, guide, being MCP or something else.

For some of these I see something like 15k followers on X, but then no LinkedIn page for example. Website is always a company you cannot contact and they do everything.
This is not a good comparison for real world coding tasks.

Based on my own experience and anectodes, it's worse than Claude 3.5 and 3.7 Sonnet for actual coding tasks on existing projects. It is very difficult to control the model behavior.

I will probably make a blog post on real world usage.
she failed so many times, might as well step aside
Yeah, it really is a lost decade.
Context here is "bicycles for the mind", a metaphor that was talking about people in general - it's not "bicycles for the minds of 0.001% of the population dedicated enough and lucky enough to be able to invest large amount of time to master the arcane arts of writing code, in an antagonistic environment, as software vendors try to prevent them from doing it".
Wolfi OS (by Chainguard) is one of a few decided to adopt openssf compiler options

Databases also have access controls! Which developers don't use.

If you have 10.000 tenants on the same server you can simply have 10.000 database users. And that simple precaution will provide nearly perfect protection against cross-tenant data leaks.
>> Why would you want that? Didn't history teach us better?

Once you give the courts the power to disqualify candidates you open the door to massive potential for political witch hunts with the express goal of disqualifying the opposition.

Since the executive branch effectively controls the justice department, this is a pretty scary thought.
That is a very bold claim!
Thank you! I live in Latin America and here WhatsApp group chats are through the roof. I easily receive several hundreds of messages across various group chats. It's not possible nor healthy to read every single message. It would be great if the tool could summarize all the unread messages from the given group chat. I played around a bit with the MCP server and it was having problems to even get the correct group chat. The group chat name could be stored together with the ID in SQLite and, if matched, it should immediately query for messages from that group chat, skipping the need to listing chats and trying to find the correct group chat and, worst of all, failing.
The Judges impose the punishment set out in the law; they don't make this stuff up.

The alternative is Judges letting people off just because they're politicians. That seems like an extremely poor precedent to set, those in political life should be held to higher standards.
White-labeling used to mean slapping on a new logo and some CSS. At enterprise scale, it means something very different — and far harder.

This case study from TechClarity walks through how one of the world’s largest tech platforms built a multi-brand delivery system without duplicating code, fragmenting infra, or slowing down GTM.
Would you not expect the same standard to be held for prominent politicians outside the far right?
An earlier big data mantra said to move computation to where the data is - as data is too big to move around. Then I guess here, it could turn out, computation should be done where energy is, as energy is potentially even harder to move around than data? Tens of gigabytes per second is easy through one tiny fiber. A bundle is easily laid by an ordinary excavator. In contrast a transmission line for a gigawatt for a few hundred kilometers takes billions.

With proper engineering with nothing fundamentally new, one could get proper integrated water cooled racks with very high computing density and power usage.
Then put those racks in a building close to a nuclear powerplant (outside the security zone perhaps though). Or a wind or solar park + batteries. Can you circumvent the costs associated with using the public power grid?

Extremely simplified, you only need fiber in and out of this power+computing facility. Ultimately you could do this in space with solar power and laser up/downlink. Cooling might be problematic though.

France at least used to have a dedicated nuclear plant just for uranium enrichment. Before electricity, a lot of industry centered to places near running water for sawmills, flour mills, metal hammering and so on. With electricity these were in many cases decoupled. But things that get energy intense enough and don't need material transport or local labor, it might make sense to locate close to energy sources again.
Weird that this is being conflated with electric traction but then again so is advertisements and crappy OTA updates and mass surveillance
I wouldn't say we "like" to do it, but in a certain sense it's an existential necessity to do so.
Google has had almost perfect recall in the needle in the haystack test since 1.5[1], achieving close to 100% over the entire context window. I can't provide a link benchmarking 2.5 Pro in particular, but this has been a solved problem with Google models so I assume the same is true with their new model.

If you're caught using steroids before the race, you're banned from running in the race (and may be fined, and may face criminal charges). If you want to appeal that's fine, but you can't run in the race today.

She was caught improperly funneling EU funds to her own party (members), which would give her party an unfair advantage in any current political race.
I simply must rearrange the words: "most people live in a London for work".

But yes, personal taste etc etc.

There needs to be democratic checks and balances against such a judiciary. Impeachment of undemocratic judges needs to be on the table.
For all LLMs, I´m using a simple prompt with the complete code in triple quotes and the command at the end, asking to output the complete code of changed functions. Then I use Winmerge to compare the changes and apply. I feel more confident doing this than using Cursor.
