I asked this because I've used bazel some, and blaze fairly extensively, and despite having done some deeply cursed things to blaze at times, I've never had issues with it as a daemon, to the point where I'd never consider needing to run it in non-daemonized mode as part of a debug process. It just works.

Second, "startup-time" is probably the least relevant complaint here in terms of why to daemonize. Running `help` without a daemon set up does take a few seconds (and yeah that's gross), but constructing the action graph cold for $arbitrary_expensive_thing takes a minute or two the first time I do it, and then around 1 second the next time.

Caching the build graph across builds is valuable, and persisting it in memory makes a lot more sense than on disk, in this case. The article we're discussing even argues in favor of making this even more extreme and moving action graph calculation entirely into a service on another machine because it prevents the situation where the daemon dies and you lose your (extremely valuable!) cached analysis graph:

> Bonanza performs analysis remotely. When traditional Bazel is configured to execute all actions remotely, the Bazel server process is essentially a driver that constructs and walks a graph of nodes. This in-memory graph is known as Skyframe and is used to represent and execute a Bazel build. Bonanza lifts the same graph theory from the Bazel server process, puts it into a remote cluster, and relies on a distributed persistent cache to store the graph’s nodes. The consequence of storing the graph in a distributed storage system is that, all of a sudden, all builds become incremental. There is no more “cold build” effect like the one you see with Bazel when you lose the analysis cache.

If you're worried about cache invalidation and correctness issues due to daemonization, I think you'd want to be even more concerned about moving them entirely off machine.

(I'm also not sure how their proposal intends to manage e.g. me and Phil on another machine trying to build conflicting changes that both significantly impact how the analysis graph is calculated and thrash each other, either you have to namespace so they don't thrash and then you've moved the daemon to the cloud, or you do some very very fancy partial graph invalidation approach, but that isn't discussed and it feels like it would be white paper worthy)

That is not true, especially with Section 174 (for the US). Right now, if you want to hire an Elixir engineer, you're better off finding a generalist willing to learn and use Elixir, and you would probably get someone who is very capable.

With Section 174 in play in the US, it tends to drive companies hiring specialists and attempting to use AI for the rest of it.

My own experience is that ... I don't really want to draw from the most plentiful and cheapest pool of workers. I've seen the kind of tech that produces. You basically have a small handful of software engineers carrying the rest.

Elixir itself is a kind of secret, unfair advantage for tech startups that uses it.
The helicopter?
I'm curious why you think it would be worse for everybody? This argument seems to depend on the assumption that if something makes AI less viable then the situation for human beings is worse overall. I don't think many actual people would accept that premise.
I was on a 6-month project with some body shop consultants. We were a small, boutique consultancy that outsourced work to a much larger body shop. They barely did any work, and what little work they did was some of the worst quality stuff I've seen in my life. They told us they had completed "phase 1" of a project. It didn't work at all. And we still paid them.

What began as a lightweight programming experiment quickly transformed into a deeply engaging technical exploration into the realms of neuroevolution, game physics, and browser-based simulation. My original goal was modest: replicate the "Chrome Dino" game using a performant and modern web stack. However, the project evolved far beyond expectations. The twist? I wanted the dinosaur to teach itself to jump.

I assume the point of the simulator is to train the user to complete a similar exercise in reality, so I don't agree here - you have to write down the waypoint code in the real exercise, and it's not good for the simulator to encourage you to overlook doing that.

Eventually, you use Elixir enough, and Erlang starts looking pretty.
If those differences matter so much for your workloads, treat your different machine types as different different architectures, commit profiling data for all of them and (deterministically) compile individual builds for all of them.

Fedora upstream was never going to do that for you anyway (way too many possible hardware configurations), so you were already going be in the business of setting that up for yourself.

You just chided people for having strong opinions about AI infringement without a court ruling to back them up but now you’re saying that creating/promoting an entire industry based on a legal grey area is a social norm that you have no strong feelings about. I would have thought the same high bar to speak on copyright for those who believe it infringes would be applied equally to those saying it does not, especially when it financially benefits them. I don’t think we’ll find consensus.
You can't really tell these days. Pretty sad reality we're living in. Everything we disagree with is levied as the worst evil the world has ever seen. Nuance doesn't exist, and there's no room for healthy disagreement. The boogeyman is everywhere it seems.
That’s a shame, because meta-progression ultimately undermines the spirit of these classic games.

Roguelikes were designed to play like arcade games in that you’d always start over from scratch and try to get a high score. Most attempts ended in failure but as you got better at the game it was reflected in your score. Even after players achieve a high degree of expertise they still find the games challenging to win and so they keep playing and enjoying them for years to come.

Meta-progression takes away the from-scratch element and just allows you to win through sheer persistence, chipping away at the problem until it’s easy enough for you to finish it in one final run. But then what? The game is no longer the same challenge it was when you first started. It’s like a mountain that keeps getting smaller every time you attempt to climb it, until it’s finally shrunk to the size of an anthill. This is not a recipe for a game you can play for many years.

Ultimately, what meta-progression does is turn a roguelike into a standard narrative RPG just like any other. This is one where the player’s goal is to reach the end of the game and that’s it, not to learn the game’s systems and reach a high level of mastery.

I read a commemt in this discussion that Dorothee Bär has a case of corruption where she was employing her husband.

I'm not pointing fingers in any specific direction, but there is a lot of importance in AI leadership, and with that you're going to see a lot of bot activity and astroturfing to hinder the advancement of competitors. We also see companies such as OpenAI publicly calling out Elon Musk for what appears to be competition-motivated harassment.

So while I think we're all pretty aware of both sides of the image gen discussion and may have differing opinions about that - I think we can all agree that the genie can't be put back in the bottle. This will naturally lead for those that do take advantage of the technology to outpace those which do not.

Also I applaud Adobe's approach to building their models "ethically", yes they are inferior to many competitors, but they work well enough to save significant time and money. They have been very good at honing in what AI is genuinely useful for instead of bolting on a chatbot onto every app like clock radios in the 1980s.
One of my screens at work is a full-screen UTC clock with seconds. But I added the solar altitude (in degrees) to the bottom of the display, just so I could easily track how close I am to sunrise or sunset. Solar azimuth would be more clock-like and make it obvious when the sun was culminating, but there's lots you can do when you program your own dashboards.

Either side? Tell me which "side" does that sound like?

I wonder who's actually going for all of American life though. Let's take Birthright citizenship, which has been established in 1868. Is that American life enough for you?

And guess who goes against this American way of life value? An orange grandpa married to an immigrant. You really can't make this up.

Common Lisp can compete with Python no problem, that's what matters to me. You get:

- truly interactive development (never wait for something to restart, resume bugs from any stack frame after you fixed them),

- self-contained binaries (easy deployment, my web app with all the dependencies, HTML and CSS is ±35MB)

- useful compile-time warnings and errors, a keystroke away, for Haskell levels see Coalton (so better than Python),

- fast programs compiled to machine code,

- no GIL

- connect to, inspect or update running programs (Slime/Swank),

- good debugging tools (interactive debugger, trace, stepper, watcher (on some impls)…)

- stable language and libraries (although the implementations improve),

- CLOS and MOP,

- etc

- good editor support: Emacs, Vim, Atom/Pulsar (SLIMA), VScode (ALIVE), Jetbrains (SLT), Jupyter kernel, Lem, and more: https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/editor-support.ht...

What we might not get:

- advanced refactoring tools -also because we need them less, thanks to the REPL and language features (macros, multiple return values…).

That’s not quite right for Fraunhofer: The financing model is also heavily dependent on research grants. The base funding is indeed around 30%. But another 40% are from publicly funded research projects. The last 30% are from research contracted by industry. In 2023, license fee revenue was €157M / €2991M, so roughly 5% of total contract research volume.

Hey thank you for taking the time to look at our docs :heart. The event history is append-only, so we keep the raw data immutable.

You are correct, of course, but do you think your comment would be better received if you presented it as constructive feedback? e.g.

Ensure there’s no confusion between Grok and Groq. Also, verify the availability of features like access to o4 models to avoid any misunderstandings.

>There is overwhelming statistical evidence that the depiction of both candidates in mainstream news channels favored Clinton and denigrated Sanders.

So you take national poll numbers, apply a handwavy fudge factor for "mainstream news channels favored Clinton and denigrated Sanders", and conclude that Sanders is the "compromise candidate"? Doesn't seem very rigorous. It also doesn't address the fact that Sanders was the left-most candidate, and there are republicans to the right of him and Clinton. On a spectrum of Sanders, Clinton, and whatever other Republicans there are, there's no plausible case to be made that Sanders is somehow the "compromise" (median?) candidate. Finally, the" mainstream news" denigrated Trump as well, arguably more. Does that make him the "compromise candidate" even more?

> That mandatory debriefing was part of the reason why the data was better. That's what I'm saying.

Indeed, and the NSF study notes the limitations of its voluntary survey methodology.

But I don't think it's going to be as easy as your "[...]repeat the original study in light of the suggested methods just published". That study leans heavily into something the NSF can't easily replicate, e.g. all data they got from military personnel is voluntary.

> they might go from "59%, but some punter can claim its actually 14%" to "actually its like 70%, and here's the mountains of data to prove it".

Perhaps I'm reading too much into this, but it's rather telling that you think the number would go up under further scrutiny.

I'm not saying it will or it won't, but neither study we're discussing supports that conclusion, as shown e.g. by the error bars in the one you linked to.

E.g. the "9 to 43% experienced sexual harassment" line. In that case 9-26% is as likely as 26-43%, if we accept the rest of their methodology.

To speculate, I'd think the NSF methodology in particular would lead to a higher extrapolated than actual rate.

Presumably someone who's been the victim of sexual harassment or assault would be more inclined to participate in a time consuming survey to have their voice heard.

Whereas someone who had an entirely uneventful year (at least an that front) in Antarctica would be more inclined to skip it.

In addition to that, the NSF survey in particular does a bad job in conflating questions like "did X happen to you?" v.s. "...or anyone you knew, heard of etc.".

If you attempted to measure e.g. theft with those sorts of questions you'd end up with inflated numbers.

> [...]The analogy to Antarctica is pretty strong in that light.

Somewhat, but it also breaks down in other ways, e.g. McMurdo has around 200-1200 people depending on the season (winter v.s. summer).
Okay, but like.

If you do have that skill to communicate clearly and describe the requirements of a novel problem, why is the AI still useful? Actually writing the code should be relatively trivial from there. If it isn't, that points to a problem with your tools/architecture/etc. Programmers IMX are, on average, far too tolerant of boilerplate.
