I liked this article because it helped me understand the javacript engine flow better than I had.
The rust flow is so much more natural to me.

The rust flow is so much more natural to me.
The public sector, simple, no frills, accessible, no flashy graphics, websites were a massive eye-opener.
They just worked. They had a job. They did it. I wasn't going to buy more from them because of it, and they didn't care. It was great.
I've heard that recently they've dismantled the centralised team that wrote all the rules, enforced it, and started moving to decentralised hosting, but so far the whole still seems to hold to together really well. I think, I hope, they have embedded the expectation that the local council, the tax office, your visa status, etc, should just be utilitarian in nature, and work for everyone.
I worry how long it will last...
but many of the current crop will never return money to investors.
I largely agree with you, but the huge investments currently being made will be very hard to get a return on. Token costs will come down, performance will go up, and you want to be in the business of selling the picks & shovels, not doing the mining.
Which is of course why nvidia, google & TSMC are in pretty good positions, but even their valuations have some bubble in them.
It does not paint a pretty picture, and I did not know this context.
Perhap the tridge I knew is also of the past, but I hope not.
Of course I know that some people can just becoming psychotic out of nowhere. But why would I assume it?
The author of these commits were tridge & claude.
What does tridge have to do to convince the open source community that he might be a legit programmer & have a clue?
Samba? Whats that? Rsync? Never heard of it. Tivo? No clue (maybe more Australian context here than others, but still).
Even the comments on the github issue, are totally devoid of the context that this is a very senior open source contributer who has maintained this project since he came up with the diff algorithm during his Phd, started the project and now chooses to acknowledge that he's using claude.
Is there any evidence that the bug rate on rsync is any worse than it used to be? or just a screenshot from mastadon?
It is just so bizarre to me.
My Uncle, who then ran the property, walked over to a rock, whacks it with a hammer or similar, shows me a bit of a trilobite (which are totally different to our sort of bytes). He did this a bunch of times. I still have the rocks. No amazing full horizontal cross-sections, but it certainly got my very young mind excited.
There were fossils RIGHT THERE from before there were dinosaurs!
Oh, and that central Australia used to be an Ocean!
These clear demos to young kids, or adults, are great, and the many other examples here in the comments are a testament to that (Vienna? wtf!).
The classic example is the Second Fleet of convicts that were sent to Australia - they were paid per convict that boarded the ships. 40% of them died. Unsurprisingly perhaps, slave traders won that contract.
They started paying per live convict landed in Australia after that.
A COO at a ~$150B firm like Uber certainly should know what the outcome will be before the leaderboard goes up. Really makes you wonder if the board was incentivising him to increase AI usage; job done, bonus unlocked.
Which Switzerland then reluctantly agreed was allowed under the terms.
As you say, totally being taken to the cleaners, and it is unclear how they escape in the short term.
The more this happens though, the more deals like Italy's make senese, irrespective of the performance comparison of the two planes.
If the US is going to be an unreliable partner, that will filter through in many many ways, and the US can hardly blame anyone but themselves (well, I'm sure some fingers will get pointed internally).
If your goal is to say, write science fiction, their reversion to classic LLM-isms, is really distracting and is what makes people say from a glance that it was written by an LLM. You basically can't use them at the moment in any real "natural" long-form writing. Everyone will call "slop" pretty quickly on the current frontier models.
Rosmin's DFT paper is worth a read.
While I'm skeptical that there is much of a moat, at least for the large players, it should at least hopefully set rosmine up with for the next job :)
It does seem to fix the current biggest issues with using LLMs for writing at various publishers. If you're The Economist, you have a very specific house style and you have a decent corpus of articles written in that style. At least on my reading of it, rosmine can use DFT to get a model to closely match its outputs, in terms of the language quirks that are generated, to that of the corpus it is fine tuned on. ie it will very much match the house style, particularly as it is used in writing, vs giving a system prompt to an LLM that has some Economist articles in its vast training set, and telling it to write in that style- it will do an ok job, but still exhibit LLM language quirks despite itself. Even if you feed it the specific "style guide" that they give their authors, I dare say the reality of their writing is the best place to learn, and it sounds like DFT can ground the writing of a model in a specific corpus like that.

I have been to Luxembourg and to Hungary, Bulgaria & Greece - the otherwise obvious contenders for "poorest" in the EU and Luxembourg should not be in the picture.
It is a tax haven, with one of the highest GDP / person in the world, why is it, by magnitudes, the biggest recipient of EU largesse / person??!
They're super close to chimps (and definitely much closer than us), rather than "a very different species".
There are lots of reasons this stuff happens, but one of them is definitely that some kids aren't acting out for school reasons but for attention from their parents.
Now, like all good SciFi, it seems fairly prescient ....
However, we were strongly told that for early stage startups, some (CA) VCs would only bother looking at CA or DE companies.
I kind of get what you're saying, but let us not pretend that SW engineers are perfect rule followers either.
Having a framework to work within, whether you are an LLM or a human, can be helpful.
Super simple. (although I use rewrites at my dns layer for the whole local lan, but whatever)
It also solves issues my password manager has with multiple services on the one host but with different ports, but putting each on their own 2nd level domain.
Or at least went dark ..
I don't know if it is just that it is an Australian thing, but certainly my friend group would all just say "petrichor" for this scent.
The Australian's who coined the term specifically credited Indian perfumers for their matti ka attar; they had collected and distilled it for centuries before (western?) science investigated.
Like lots of scents, the fresh versus the preserved are different. Petrichor has a sharp ozone smell, that does not persist when preserved, where it ends up with an earthier smell afterwards.
Just give them the right writing prompt. "You are a writer for the Economist, you need to write in the house style, following the house style rules, writing for print, with no emoji .." etc etc.
The large models have already ingested plenty of New Yorker, NYT, The Times, FT, The Economist etc articles, you just need to get them away from their system prompt quirks.
certainly nothing friendly.
For others wondering, while most of the Franco-era laws were nuked in 1978, this does include lots of old laws (ie pre-20th C).
However, the source material starts with a sqashed commit in 1960 :) So no changelog before that. The BOE source though is pretty phenomonal, they've scanned files going back to the 1600s so far.
David has done some great work and some funny work. Sometimes both.
There goes another bit of my writing style that will get mistaken for an LLM.
The key difference, is that the US is many jurisdictions (Federal + 50 states + a lot of others, from counties to cities to territories to MANY others), and the variance amongst those is high.
The key thing well regulated places like Sweden get right, is that in consumer contracts you have minimum bars that you must meet regardless of what you can get the consumer to agree to. So, for instance, return policies, for goods bought online have minimum standards they must meet.
In the US, these things have huge variability. There are well regulated states, and well, the others.
Still, thanks for the process you use.
My wsl is pretty long lived now, through quite a few ubuntu upgrades and installations of stuff that I probably no longer need.
