Closures are definitely cumbersome in Rust, and Lisp/Haskell/Scala programmers use them all the time. In SICP for example, they translate several math equations to code using higher order functions and closures, and it is wonderfu

Yes i know, i have wrote some FnMut closures muself. I meant, function composition should work like Lisp or Haskell, it should be very easy and intuitive, no boilerplate also. Closures in Rust, feel a lot like a hack compared to functional

> 1. Rust is an immensely complicated language, and it's not very composable. It is a procedural language and as such, composition of functions is not implemented easily, if at all possible. It is a shame for sure that such powerful

They can sue 3000 people for millions of damages, and that will have the expected effect of banning any illicit downloading of files. I mean, it worked for torrents back in 2002, why shouldn't it work for downloading LLM files? The fun

I used R1 to write debug statements for Rust code, close to 50 pages in total. It is absolutely crushing it. The best debug statements i have ever seen, better than gpt for sure. In my experience GPT is still the number one for code, but De

Existing payment methods, paypal, google pay etc, have been absolutely crucial for internet payments, but the micro in the word never ends. If there are internet payments with a minimum payment of 1 cent, then we need payments of 0.1 cents.

Servers operate on top of tcp/ip not to serve information, rather to serve information plus something else, usually ads. This is usually implemented with websites and captchas n stuff. That's a problem of misaligned economic incen

Nice list. I tried at some point to analyze html using a tree-sitter grammar and generate a list of articles, index them, and be on alert every so often for new entries. RSS feed could be generated automatically with some AI code generator

Not personally surprised that a MoE model performs so well. I used Mixtral a lot for coding Rust, and it had qualities no other model had except GPT 3.5 and later Claude Sonet. The funny thing is Mixtral was based on Llama 2 which was not t

Thanks for the info. That's what i thought the process would be. Although i do consider worldcoin to be irrelevant, and eventually to fail at some point in the future.

Doesn't Worldcoin produce Zero Knowledge Proofs of biometric data? If yes i do not see what kind of personal data the ledger may hold. It holds the proof of their data, not their data. If some people are not aware of ZKP here is a shor

Use tree-sitter, change some identifiers here and there, some function names also, then you can use the generated data for anything you like. Pass each identifier through the cheapest LLM possible and change it ever so slightly.

I would say using goggles/glasses which undress everyone you see on the street is not morally wrong. How about recording and uploading it somewhere? Also, not having statues of naked women and/or naked men in public streets is mor

I just tried QwQ 32B, i didn't know about it. I used it to generate, some code GPT generated 2 days ago perfect code without even sweating. QwQ generated 10 pages of it's reasoning steps, and the code is probably not correct. [1]

Yeah, but does that mean, (supposing they are different machines), a package is installed on both computers? On the client and the server? It sounds redundant, and pretty strange if and that's indeed what happens. I will read eventu

Could starting $ emacs --daemon, and connecting to another machine using the client act as a kind of sandboxing or it has no benefit whatsoever? Maybe that could be used as a starting point to implement a security strategy for some not tota

If every medium becomes editable like text, i don't see why it should be possible to watermark images or video any easier than text. Images have the aliasing problem, which is NP-hard, but aliasing gets close to 100% correct after edit

Habitual Artificial Intelligence contrasts nicely with Artifial General Intelligence. It parses data and forms habits based on that data. When you want to discover something new, you have to break out of a habit and think. It forms some hab

In practice, every programmer or a writer who gets the LLM output, does a lot of rewriting for already existing code, or already existing text. Stitching together parts of many LLM outputs is the only way to use an LLM effectively, even sti
