A therapist reads like the-rapist, in his case, and in many others. It's bandaid on a failing system, a failing society, and instead of fixing the system the victim has to pay the-rapist. Misaligned incentives all over again. To correct this therapy should be free, because the need for it shouldn't exist. Let the tech billionaires pay for it: if they cause the damage, they have to pay the bill. That'll teach them how to prioritize user satisfaction.

> things that are out of your control

That's because of corruption. A system that doesn't want to change because some tits can't be let go of. A well working system would render control back to you.

In Europe they should provide the citizens with the service of their messages not reaching US servers. So basically that there is only one party reading along with them, not half the world.

This is exactly the typical use I make of the llm.

Adding: - I typically ask questions in the I form, regardless for whom or why I ask for. - Gemini chats quite often end when it starts recommending psychological council or a suicide line, to talk about my problems. It apparently detects a persistent tendency to not agree with the party line. So it makes sense I must be suicidal ;-

But sure, as llm's start to babysit us, and know our inner dialog better than anyone else, we'll soon be debugging their opinion/behavior/co-existence/authority, when it comes to reporting people to the authorities, or taking on tasks in society in general. We'll hire doctors to cure our psychological profile from our record (Total Recall).

A Minority Report like this shouldn't cause a referral to the police.

What LLM? I used claude and it just cracks up on zig 0.16. Terrible.

Seems like we might need to go to different issue tracking model for AI reports. Such reports must not only provide a bug report/issue but must provide a fix as well. That fix must then be reasoned back to why it solves the bug, why it is minimal, why it is unlikely to silently cause new bugs. It can't introduce new capabilities/side-effects. The platform verifies the claims in the report using another LLM. Then the tests are run, which are no longer publicly accessible to avoid slipping malicious code through the cracks. When okay the patch can go into staging. Perhaps a special version containing only accumulated AI fixes.

everything code is going to be liquefied, maybe even including tigerbeetle. simpler systems are simply more reliable, and the effects compound (= the best part is no part). organizations will get rid of database professionals and buy their migration expertise externally, when they need it. it won't be from Oracle.

for the database it is actually the opposite, as it is a swiss army knife.

look at the sibling comment, people are already doing this. with time only more people will.

an era is ending. there is a time and a season for everything.

SQLite is sure to provide a good parts toolbox. one may even use it as is ;-

Thanks for sharing.

Data loss is the obvious concern. Are you perhaps reusing parts of sqlite or postgres?

Yes you got it. Get rid of all the abstractions we've gotten so used to and effectively approach this as an embedded project, where every line of code has to be justified.

It tends to make sure you understand the system fully, as no foreign concepts need to be imported and deferred to. That should make your organization run better.

Just like Rust does, btw.

Thx.

Is it time to kill the database and replace it with a LLM optimized compiled version that simply implements the required API directly in (Rust) code, without any dynamic overhead? It probably will still be based of off a base design or a base file format.

Ultimately this system will encompass the whole OS, of course, but the DB might be the best place to start.

Why don't my credit card and my phone implement a second pincode or password that allows me to signal that I'm in a hostage situation, and want everything (discretely) wiped? So that would do a saldo = sqrt(saldo) for a bank card, for example, and cancel all my limits.

Brazil has been American for as long as the USA has been. The situation is much like in Russia, where the only real Russians are the ones that live in Moscow. The others.. well who cares? Their interests are trumped.

Next step: America send a governor to Brazil, and allows it to enjoy and participate in the enlightenment emanating from the Gold House. Just revere.

Quoting the reply of the author, as he was dead:

It's a lot stricter across files, than within a file. Within a single file, it labels as renamed/edited when the old and new are 75% the same code (ignoring formatting) along with a couple of other rules. Across files, it pairs code that's identical, or at minimum kept the same name and is at least 60% identical, if it was renamed in addition to being edited+moved it's never matched.

There's no similarity-based fallback to a line diff because the line diff is always there. These labels sit on top of it, so a wrong label can't hide anything, and you can see both sides of any match it claims.

Admittedly those percentages are a bit arbitrary, and I probably need to think about it a little bit more. If you do run into issues with it, please let me know.

I thought this would be about adding a switch by which to undo every silent code removal operation because the compiler concluded a section includes undefined behavior in some obscure case, like overflow. And doing so silently. So when you recompile on a new compiler, on embedded, your code now fails. Can't do that Dave.

How did we ever get here??

As a user that's so outrageous it must be a deliberate conspiracy against C. I'm sure it isn't but it certainly helps it's demise, as the feeling the tool is in the hands of imbeciles that mistake the trees for he forest. C now requires you to be an expert on undefined behavior, and the psychology regarding the matter, while previously C would be forgiving.

So I thought the article would be about --forgive --generous, or --embedded while there should have been --petty in the first place.

Impressive work backed by solid first principles thinking, including about memory. The docs assume a mindset beyond the average, so it reads more like product documentation, and there is a certain lack of a sales pitch. I'll have to run it myself to see how it holds up. Sadly there is no quick download available, but a live demo is on the roadmap.

Worse is better, apparently it is finally dead.

Indeed, and it must be great for educational purposes.

I'm as tired as you when the top comment always seems to be crying "this was AI generated". Especially since the use of AI to make a new language is almost inevitable, as it is too onerous to experiment, build and innovative without.

But minimaxir put out some very thoughtful comments you'd be wise to lend your ears to, because the technical merits your work seems to have will get drowned out.

Shouldn't we stop pushing the cost of things onto the public, in both CO2 and nuclear contamination?

Surely a nuclear reactor is only economical if you don't have to pay for the cost of a Chernobyl type event. Did they assess the costs? Surely they played the costs down as the public is going to pay for the consequences. Shrug. It's so easy to do business this way. The fins also expose themselves to blackmail by an adversarial neighbor.

But if this is all well reasoned we can now start building data centers on the south pole and dump the nuclear waste where no one notices it. Because that's the fumbling policy relied on. The people are being played for fools.

A really nice application could be making test jigs, to validate everything on the PCB is functioning properly. One could have it design a fully custom motherboard with pogo pins and the necessary software, etc. All should be low complexity and therefore doable by the AI without much supervision.

Why a red apple? Why not a woman? Porn?

Or even HN commenters?

I wholeheartedly agree. Even China integrated. It's not where the rift comes from.

The financial center of the world selects its winners nearby. As simple as that. Businesses outside of the US have never had much of a chance.

China does the same now, as the engineering center of the world. And they have to because the financial center is hyping them as a threat.

I don't care much about the typed part, I care much more that this is a good take on what an assembler should be, far ahead of the GCC monstrosity, that serves just one purpose well: it screams "don't use me". This feature could make Odin the language of choice for some types of projects, for it seems to remove so much friction.

The Darpa Tractor project looks to achieve the same:

Just a few weeks back it was judged as unlikely to succeed. Now Canonical want to get in.

We will be it's body, it will sense through us.

while the only thing that matters is you understand the mechanism and you therefore know how to apply it. it doesn't matter if you know the name, unless you want to Google it. but now with AI you can still find it. so take it easy.

engineers have never been about uttering words, they talk with their hands and minds instead, and like everybody, by putting their weight where it matters.

those in power enjoy words, as they can then define what they mean and start a fight to humiliate you, and enjoy the product.

Just a little bit of solar goes a long way to keep the lights on.
