If you like speculating there's lots of volatility going on. Shorting trump coin might be appropriate. Falling about 30% a month on recent trends, though with lots of ups and downs.
OCaml is underrated IMO. It's a systems language like Go with a simple runtime but functional with a great type system and probably best error handling out of any language I've used (polymorphic variants).
I've always thought a lot of it was due to how channels + goroutines were designed with CSP in mind, but how often do you see CSP used "in the wild"? Go channels are good for implementing CSP and can be good at similar patterns. Not that this is a big secret, if you watch all the concurrency pattern videos they made in Go's early days you get a good feeling for what they are good at. But I can only think of a handful of time I've seen those patterns in use. Though much of this is likely due to having so much of our code designed by mid-level developers because we don't value experience in this field.
No they are not.

I get what you are thinking. Detection, maneuvering and trajectory planning are all much easier than on a road. If you mandate built in transponders collision avoidance is also easy.

But what you are forgetting is everything that isn't normal operations. What do you do if anything fails? A car can just stop, break failures, even steering failures can all be reasonably mitigated. This is not the case when you are in the air. Any failure mode needs fast and accurate reactions, even when critical systems have failed. That is why a passenger plane has two pilots. A modern passenger plane can do most of the flying by itself, yet the pilots need to be there.

Aerospace standards are higher and more difficult to adhere to, ensuring any kind of reasonable safety is extremely difficult. How many of these flying into sky scrapers are acceptable?
Not sure what you mean here. In the “traditional” internet peer to peer model from the early days, it was always a client-server model. Just that everyone “ran their own server”. For example: You want to send me email? Great my smtp server is sitting at my desk and the mail spool lives on my local hard drive.

That’s in contrast to the centralized model where all the servers live in a set of giant concrete boxes aka data centers run by hyperscalers.
Gophernet is still around

You’re sure? How?

And what crowd? I am stating my viewpoint, from an education in humanities AND tech, and from 25 years of career in software tech, and 30 years of musician and painter practice.

Sorry but who is moving the goalpost here? Who is coming with their tech saying « hi, but we don’t care about how your laws make sense and we don’t care that we don’t know what art is because we never studied about it, neither do we have any artistic practice, we just want to have what you guys do by pressing a button. Oh and all of your stuff is free for us to forage thru, don’t care about what you say about your own work. »

Typical entitled behavior. Don’t act surprised that this is met with counter arguments and reality.
To use Arial when Proxima Nova or Helvetica are available is a deeply hideous act. Why on earth does Adobe sound proud to announce that Arial is finally in their lineup?!

Seems they've gone to great effort to re-create MS Vistas UAC - the alert box that popped up that said "Are you sure?" twenty times a day. It trained people to click OK by reflex.
OCaml and Go are not considered systems programming languages, in part due to having required heavy runtimes and garbage collection.
the idea that cloudflare doesn't know who i am without a cookie is insulting.
The IDF is not "massacring civilians by the tens of thousands". You could argue the IDF is very loose with its targeting and is willing to go after military targets even if many civilians get hurt. The Hamas was significantly looser with their targeting with 10's of thousands of rockets fired randomly into population centers.

The situation is completely different. One action is a defensive response and the other was an offensive initiative. There is no reality in which the Hamas attack can be framed as defensive or justifiable by any western values. The IDF response however is very much in line with what western nations have actually done, e.g. the US response to 9/11, the response to ISIS, WW-II or any other war you can think of.

The US went to the other side of the world to get the people it thought wanted to harm it. There wasn't even any real threat to its territory or people. It was simply about deterrence and getting even and it was significantly more heavy handed. Similarly other western powers that went after ISIS. Israel to contrast is facing an existential threat and parts of the country are/were unlivable because of the threat of attacks. It has no option other than the complete removal of Hamas from Gaza (and Hezbollah from Southern Lebanon which has largely been accomplished).
Still unsure, whether a naked single quote character for (quote …) is really a good idea.

Got used to it by typing out (quote …)-forms explicitly for a year. The shorthand is useful at the REPL but really painful in backquote-templates until you type it out.

CL:QUOTE is a special operator and (CL:QUOTE …) is a very important special form. Especially for returning symbols and other code from macros. (Read: Especially for producing code from templates with macros.)

Aside: Lisp macros solve the C-fopen() fclose() dance for good. It even closes the file handle on error, see WITH-OPEN-FILE. That alone is worth it. And the language designers provided the entire toolset for building stuff like this, for free.

No matter how unusual it seems, it really is worth getting used to.
This seems mostly geared toward private companies that grant equity. As it’s part of the Galloway series that targets this audience that makes sense.

I do wonder how much of this applies to RSUs granted by public corps
Fwiw, I didn’t find the ai images problematic at all, and the writing doesn’t seem generated at all to me.

They look at code on stackoverflow and the web that initializes the SDK resources that have you explicitly put the access key and secret key in code.

For instance, the correct way to initialize the s3 client in Python is

s3 = boto3.client('s3')

The SDK will automatically get the credentials that are configured locally within your environment or the IAM role attached to your Lambda, EC2 instance, Docker (ECS, EKS) container runner etc.

Your access keys never need to be part of your repository.

That's because of the confusing names. Xen is not XenServer:

* Xen is the hypervisor, the "upstream" used by both XenServer & XCP-ng

* XenServer or XCP-ng is the platform, using Xen and various other things, to deliver a "turnkey" experience for server virtualization

Xen Project is part of the Linux foundation, and have various contributors, including AMD and Arm (for the embedded world) and others (including Vates, Citrix etc.)
because there's a lot of rhetoric about how this "balances the imbalance between serving a request and making that request" and if we're having them do sha256, why not have them do sha256(sha256(data+random nonce)) and potentially earn the site owner some money?

Eh I am happy waiting many years before any of that. If it only work right with the right model for the right job, and it’s very fuzzy which models work for which tasks, and the models change all the time (often times silently)… at some point it’s just easier to do the easy task I’m trying to offload then juggle all off this.

If and when I go about trying these tools in the future, I’ll probably looks for and open source TUI, so keep up the great work on aider!
I think since a concept of channel was something new and exciting back when Go was introduced, people (including myself) tried using it everywhere they could. Over time, as you collect your experience with the tool you get better at it, and certainly for shared state management channels are rarely the best option, however there still are quite a few places where you can't do something equivalent to what channels provide easily, which is to block until you've received new data. It just so happens that those situations are quite rare in Go.

> "security" and "giving users a say in how their phone works" are diametrically opposed

Try putting that sentence prominently on the front page of the GrapheneOS website and watch the monthly download count rapidly drop. It would not be out of place for an Apple press release, but it would be out of place there.

I think the Graphene people sometimes forget that the vast majority of their users are nerds who aren't being targeted by APTs, don't want to be locked out of their own device, and really just want a trustworthy Google-free OS on their phone. They also probably use Linux on their computers and yet haven't been hacked by "fake sudo" or "evil maid" attacks and likely never will be.

> It's not recommended, but you can install magisk + root if you really wanted to.

Apps will then either detect that you're rooted, or use AOSP attestation APIs to cryptographically verify that you aren't using a known-good custom ROM, and block your access to basic features of modern society such as mobile banking. This isn't Graphene's fault, but it should be noted that you will start losing out on things as soon as you start customizing or rooting the OS. So it does matter what upstream does to some extent.

FWIW I don't agree with the OP, just replying to your comment in particular.

It must be really sad to be born into the "reality's not real" internet brain damaged generations 8-(

Of course, suggesting that all of that is why new millennium generations are the most neurotic in human history, is considered offensive.

I'll state again: The main difference between the LSD generation and the iPhone generation, is that after 6 or 8 hours, the LSD would wear off.

This sobering allowed the whole experience to reform as a sort of perspective altering, beneficial after effect. Since the iPhone is NEVER EVER turned off, this beneficial after effect never occurs. Thus, doom scroll neurosis.

Sadly, even though I'm only trying to advocate for reality, and point out a pathway to rationality and sanity, you may start your flagging and downvoting now... 8-(

That aesthetic had me riveted to the screen from the first minute to the last.
In Go in many cases channels are unavoidable due to API. As already was pointed out in other threads a good rule of thumb is not to use them in public method signatures.

The valid use case for channels is to signal to consumer via channel close in Context.Done() style that something is ready that then can be fetched using separated API.

Then if you need to serialize access, just use locks.

WorkGroup can replace channels in surprisingly many cases.

A message passing queue with priorities implemented on top of mutexes/signals can be used in many cases that require complex interactions between many components.
I grew up in the USSR and then Russia, so I was exposed to Stanislaw Lem's books and I loved them.

Much later, I tried reading Ubik and I just couldn't get into it. What's the point of the story? It feels like it's written under the influence of heavy drugs. Yeah, it's absurdist but somehow far less fun than the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Another thing that really grated on my nerves, is that women are barely more than cardboard cutouts in his stories.
On the one hand, if you're editing a graphics file for a client that already uses Arial, you need Arial. Full stop. It doesn't matter if it's great or not.

On the other hand, Arial is pre-installed not just on Windows, but Macs and iOS. And Adobe doesn't make e.g. Illustrator for Android or Linux.

So what Creative Cloud app runs on an OS that doesn't already have Arial? What am I missing? Do they have something that runs on Android?
Hi, I’m the author of the blog post.

The goal wasn’t to dive deep into technical internals this time, but rather to share some perspective on what it actually takes to master an entire virtualization stack — especially after years of working only on the top layer (orchestration, backup, etc.). We’ve seen firsthand how much more complex things get the deeper you go.

That said, I totally get the desire for more technical content — and we’ve published more in-depth pieces before. For example, here’s a detailed post on Xen’s grant table mechanism and memory sharing, if that’s more your kind of read: https://xcp-ng.org/blog/2022/07/27/grant-table-in-xen/

Appreciate the feedback — and happy to go deeper on specific areas if there’s interest!
>“If we can hand off some of these lower-level capabilities to a machine, when someone retires, you don’t need to replace him or her,” he said.

I would much prefer if instead these people would be actually trained well. And if needed compensated as well. The people is not that big cost for nuclear. So it should be entirely possible. Or have people really gotten so much worse that you cannot find good workers anymore?
Typical gatekeeping behavior. Don't act surprised when the world and artistic expression moves on without you.
I have a machine with 3108 TI's that I do a batch with, sending the question first to a LLM and then an LRM, returning to review the faster results and killing the job if they are acceptable. Ollama or just llama.cpp on podman makes this trivial.

But knowing* what model will be better will be impossible, only broad heuristics that may or may not be correct for any individual prompt could be used.

While there are better options if you were buying them today, an old out of date system with out of date GPUs works well in this batch model.

gemma-3-27b-it-Q6_K_L works fine with these, and that mixed with an additional submit to DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-32B is absolutely fine on that system that would just be shut down otherwise.

I have a very bright line about inter-customer leakage risk prevention that may be irrational but with that mixture I find that I am better looking at scholarly papers than trying the commercial models.

My primary task is FP64 throughput limited, and thus I am stuck on Titan V as it is ~6 times faster than the 4090 and 5 times faster than the 5090 is the only reason I don't have newer GPUS.

You can add 41080ti at 200w limit with common PSU's and get the memory, but performance is limited by the pci bus at 31080ti.

As they seem to sell for the same price, I would probably buy the Titan V today, but the point being is that if you are fine with the even smaller models, you can run them queries in parallel or even cross verify, which dramatically helps with planning tasks even with the foundational models.

But series/parallel runs do a lot, and if you are using them for code, running a linter etc... on the structured output saves a lot of time evaluating the multiple response.

No connection to them at all, but bartowski on hugging face puts a massive amount of time and effort into re-quantizing models.

If you don't a restriction like my FP64 need, you can get 70b models running on two 24Gb gpus without much 'cost' to accuracy.

That would be preferable to a router IMHO.
Wake me up when its authors realize most of us don't want to "hack" our editors. They're still stuck in 1980. We actually have to pay bills and want to spend time with our families and go out in nature.

I appreciate customization; that's why I moved to Neovim and not to a full-blown GUI IDE (and I'll never use those). But that editor you speak of practically requires me to fix the idiocies of plugin authors that can't be bothered to run 7 tests on their code.

I get it, a lot of programmers are cult followers. I was as well. At one point though, pragmatism should prevail. The editor should ideally be non-laggy and not spit warnings after I move from one buffer to another. Just embarrassing.
I disagree. Making high quality niche publications like this economically feasible is exactly how AI could be used to actually benefit society. I see no evidence that this site is a plagiarism mill.

All the retro computing people I know are computer nerds, and like playing with new shiny software, including llms.
I was a physics student back when the SSC was cancelled. At the time it seemed like a terrible decision but years on I’m not sure the expense was worth it. In the end I think it worked out and was a good call to let the Europeans fund CERN and find the Higgs. I’m very pro science but I’ve come to a point where I’m asking is the juice worth the squeeze? I think beyond Higgs the juice is becoming harder to justify.

The answer for particle physics can’t be to build larger and larger circular machines. Rather that money would be better spent on accelerator research to enable smaller more practical machines at high energies. Such machines may have some practical spinoff uses such as how FNAL offers neutron therapy.
> squeeze max performance out of a system

Sounds more like SPIR-V and intermediary optimization for custom hardware or their current setup. I'm guessing sama wants to copy Deepseek's strategy, not build a language.
Vibe Coding without worry or care
I'm not sure why you're addressing me or telling me I didn't watch the video, but I humbly request, on behalf of the community, that next time you've figured out what someone else did and want to announce it, you pause and reflect on: A) exactly what and whose words you're taking umbrage with B) if you are attempting to mind read.

Concretely:

If you don't think OP got the right understanding from the video, so their questions were fundamentally Wrong and Shouldn't Be Asked and Impugned Sabine by their very nature of being asked, that's fine. Own that.

If you think it's unfair of me to quote Sabine without quoting the entirety of a 30 minute transcript, well, more power to you.

But that doesn't mean I didn't watch it or whatever other crock is being imagined.

Just ask! :) Curiosity and discussion are why we're here. :)

I wonder if using thinking models would work better here. They generally have less variance and consider more options, which could achieve the same goal.

The instantaneous fertility rate dipping below replacement level does not mean humanity dying out. It might mean that this particular civilization with this particular population level is. Infinite growth ad infinitum leads to an inevitable (and likely catastrophic) collapse. No one can say with certainty what the "correct" fertility rate is. That being said, if a society is set up as a pyramid scheme, it must have infinite growth to sustain itself so I won't argue that this way of life is likely dying.

For the libraries you listed, the benefits of using a native library are much larger, since they’re wrapping a well-known library that is known to be secure and fully-featured, or since the performance benefits are actually visible in any significant code snippet. But here, there is no Rust library to wrap, and I doubt the performance of a date-time library would have any effect on the performance of virtually all applications (maybe except for calendar apps).
The thresholding should be done in linear space I think, not directly on the sRGB encoded values.

Also I think the final result has some pretty distracting structured artifacts compared to e.g. blue noise dithering.
Niko Bonatsos wanted to interview Elon Musk for his research paper. Instead of messaging someone at Tesla, he cold emailed Elon directly — and got a response.

Here’s why I think worked, broken down into 3 parts:

1/ Building Rapport Like a Human

Niko started by establishing familiarity.
When someone opens a cold email, the first thing they subconsciously assess is: "Is this a spammy pitch or an internet creep?"

You have to get past the crocodile brain first. And the key is emotion.

When you remind someone of their time at university, or graduating, there’s an emotion of nostalgia.
If the reader doesn’t feel something in the first second, they stop reading.

2/ Sincere Appreciation > Flattery

Elon knows he’s built one of the most innovative companies in the world.
But, it feels good to be reminded with genuine admiration — not over-the-top praise, but a heartfelt and personal note.

Make them feel special and yourself qualified.

As Dale Carnegie says "Be hearty in your approbation and lavish in your praise"

3/ Have a SIMPLE ask

The worst thing you can ask for is a "coffee" or a "quick 20 min call" (or worst of all - "to pick their brain"
That’s not an ask. That’s a vague request for their time.

Instead, Niko made a specific, actionable request: to interview Elon for his research paper on Tesla's Corporate Strategy.
> It showed he had a plan.
> It respected Elon’s time.
> And it signaled that he was a person of action.

Niko is a master at cold emailing, he's gotten responses from Evan Spiegel -Founder of Snapchat (asking for an internship) and Steve Ballmer - Former CEO of Microsoft.

The fact all goroutines are detached is the real problem imo. I find you can encounter many of the same problems in rust with overuse of detached tasks.
