Does it refuse to work on "cyber"?

Oracle routing is by definition not possible.

How so?

I don't think we should care about Jim Cramer's opinions, no matter what he's saying.

There's nothing intrinsically wrong with "whataboutism" and it is in fact often illuminating.

OpenAI and Anthropic are both defense contractors. SpaceXAI too, obviously.

This little special military operation: https://apnews.com/article/iran-us-hormuz-strait-war-july-20...

It was the work itself. Embedded systems are already known for bad tooling. Once safety certification gets thrown in the mix you're limited to ancient broken versions of GCC that have been rebranded and certified, and are thus more fit for purpose than newer versions of GCC that actually work. MISRA, its derivatives, and the associated static analysis tooling ecosystem are also low quality evolutionary dead ends that ignore the state of the art in both academia and industry.

Maybe I'm a control freak, but asking agents to one-shot random apps is nothing like how I actually use AI in software engineering.

The name conflicts with a somewhat obscure but very influential language: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E_(programming_language).

Hard real-time industrial automation. Worst job ever, by the way.

Exactly. I mentioned that those queues aren't formally obstruction-free because the context of the conversation was new developments in wait-free queues, even though I have only needed the guarantee once in my career and end up using descendants of the Vyukov MPMC cycle queue in practically all other cases because they are better on the metrics that count, like speed.

This was the very best bounded MPMC queue when I last looked into these things years ago, and as far as descendants of the Vyukov MPMC cycle queue go, I don't think it's possible to do much better.

I think your citation date is off, by the way. As far as I can tell, it was first published in January 2011.

Both Vyukov queues are fast and useful in practice, but neither is even obstruction-free, let alone lock-free or wait-free.

I suspect the search space of low-complexity, or at least what I'd consider "low-complexity", wait-free queues is pretty much exhausted at this point.

The years keep on getting bigger, but these prediction timelines stopped being credible like 3 timelines ago.

Has Anthropic published any legitimately interesting research in the last year? The last two years?

Everything they publish is like this.

Linux has a very stable userspace syscall ABI. About as stable as Windows, and much more stable than MacOS or the BSDs. I agree with everything else though.

So you're saying it's more important to safeguard slop outputs than the original work of human beings.

Don't forget: "most players use malloc to get memory while new is the c++ method and sounds better."[1]

If I were writing this language, I'd probably just compile it to Go, although that means Rust extensions would either incur cgo costs or have to be replaced with Go extensions.

You seem to have a very low opinion of other people. If these miraculous collectors are so generally applicable, why are very smart people putting effort into things like Perseus?

We have multiple open-source pauseleses miracles right there before our eyes

Is this meaningfully true in a practical sense? I've been writing code with soft real-time requirements and I don't think your notion of "pauseless" suffices. And if these miracles are open-source and right before our eyes, why do languages like Crystal and D still use Boehm?

I can't tell if this is bad for the big labs, or good because it means they now have an excuse for not showing meaningful progress in the lead ups to their IPOs.

Yeah, a lack of suits is not anywhere close to what the problem is here.

This is the "two r******s fighting" of founder/VC spats. A lot of founders have behavioral problems, certainly, but a lot of VCs are sociopaths. Both archetypes are well represented in this exchange.

Aren't they buying the use of these resources just like any other customer?

You seem upset.

Pretty much none of your entire comment is true.

These people forgot what the "G" stands for.
