Oh, thanks! I completely missed the "optional".

It seems to work great actually... Thanks!

www.nobuttnews.net, reserved :)

Thankfully we (as humans) don't have the same brain and the same interests :)

Some people are excited about all that stuff, and I can understand. But, personally, I am just getting bored of having an anthropic news per day, two from openai, and another one that claims "eeeh, developers are dead!".

Actually, Hackernews feels more anxious for me now, that's why I wanted to take a look elsewhere...

I remember the time when I did read "Ray-Tracing in One week-end", or discover some new cool websites and blogs like The Old New Thing, some interesting discussions about Android hacking and vulnerabilities, or hacking old idTech stuff from Fabien Sanglard.

I really miss that time when I was reading and learning at the same time.

Now, most of the articles published here do not have any fresh news to provide, and I don't learn anything. Except people think I will be obsolete in a few months. (Nice. /s)

Hum, indeed! Thanks!

Oh nice, I didn't know this one. Thanks!

Hm. The first link is about GPT-Live, from openai... I don't think it is accurate haha.

But thanks for the link, I did not know about it :)

Very weird: I typed « A beautiful mind » to test and I got some Tim Burton results… Also the system is reacting very slowly sometimes.

Is this « AI recommendations » based on recommendation systems or something like (D)NN?

Finally companies understand that consumers do not want AI products, but just better, stronger, and cheaper products.

Unfortunately investors are not ready to hear that yet...

I don't agree with some points, but I share the feeling in terms of "failed promises".

The fact that most well-known Rust crates are becoming huge bloat are becoming a problem to me, which is something that has been critized years again by the community itself.

As an example, I still do not understand why simple HTTP crates require more than 50 to 70 dependencies to execute a simple GET call...

So much wasted money it makes me sick…

There are so much money needed to solve another problems, especially for health.

I don’t blame the new comers, but Zuckerberg.

I don’t think you took a look at the different reports :)

All are wrong, with hallucinations, and reviewers clearly loses their time with that kind of things.

AI is here to accelerate people’s job(s). Not losing their mind and time.

Please read the news before responding. An AI can do that, why don’t you do that too…?

For once I agree with Sam Altman (it feels weird...).

I don't feel the hype for coding assistant tools using LLMs (sorry for HN nerds here).

However I am incredibly excited with all the new research and tools produced by DeepMind since years now, like "AlphaFold 2". "AlphaFold 2" has more potential to save lives than every other LLMs produced in the last decade.

This kind of AI tools and research need to attract news (unfortunately it does not... yet?).

Sorry but this is not a real value for certain people.

It would be “eventually good” if, and only if, Vision problems were solved at 100% F1-Score. Which is absolutely not! So, to me, I expected bad and I received… bad results.

Paying for this crap is just throwing money out the window. Those startups should solve problems and them let people pay for it, for 99% accuracy, not at minimum of 66%.

Reducing costs in Xbox and development partners, the state of the Xbox games submission (and the SDK... as a game engine developer it is the worst and the buggiest of all three major consoles), and finally all the communication and the investment in (crappy) AI from Microsoft and the large reduction of investment in gaming from them.

I know this comes from the Microsoft management side, and not from the devs.

I'm always surprised to see that tech newspapers will ask for opinions and technical information from the people who have the most to lose by giving a real state (positive AND negative) on their products (and the world in general).

I even find it extremely stupid to be honest.

Rule number 1 if you want an honest view of a product and its status in the world today: believe independent reviews, not a CEO...

Meanwhile, in the Mac world...

Very good news!

I believe that Microsoft does not care about Gaming those days, so it is definitely time for Valve to jump in and win some percentages in the market.

We know for sure that Windows shares will not drop drastically based on this move, and that the tendency will progress among years (not months). Now, we have to make sure that Valve is not evil... and I do not believe they are angels they claim since the beginning. To me Valve is like Google was in beginning of 2000s : invest on open-source, have a good fanbase, ... and once you have a significant percentage of the market share / users then you can move evil.

Is it a joke?

There are multiple alternatives, for Microsoft Windows or other Microsoft products like Office or Azure.

There is a difference between "disable" and "accidentally disable".

Forced to DRM for security... And people will still argue that Windows (and I will generalize to "Microsoft products") is not evil?!

Come on guys, come on...

Cool to see OCaml (and not 'Ocaml', please) got some tractions.

OCaml is a cool language (maybe the best one for functional programming imho), has a great build system and package manager (Dune)... it just miss some "killer apps" running on OCaml to let understand hype-people (managers) to take a look at it and try it at their job places.

Awesome! I hope Apple will not get the lawyers out for this project (especially for licensing issues)... but this is promising for the future!

You're definitely not alone. This situation is not new, and it isn't acceptable either.

The concept of `features` when using a crate is kinda cool as "you only download / compile what you use" *but* most of the crates are very badly designed, and also developers do not tend to reinvent a very tiny wheel when they can, but heavily depend of possibly dangerous crates to just serialize or deserialize a very simple data structure...

It's very annoying, as this increases the compilation time and introduces possible unsafe behavior in larger crates.

That's the main criticism my colleagues have about Rust: a lot of unmaintained crates, and most of the time a lot of dependencies for... (almost) nothing.

It seems most of Rust developers adopt the pov of web front-end developers since a few years: depend on a lot of libraries for small things, never update your project to 1.0, and abandon "quickly" to build something new... and redo it again.

I really hope that alternatives like Zig or Jai will not let the community do like what they did with Rust.

> Crates are often abandoned seemingly for no reason, often before even hitting 1.0.

That is the one of the first things my colleagues told me after trying Rust for a few weeks: a laaaarge number of crates under 1.0, and so many abandoned crates, still published in crates.io. Some of those have even reported CVEs due to heavy `unsafe` usage for... nothing.

I love Rust, but I have the feeling that the language (and its community) lost the point since the release of the 2018 edition.
