PyPI is working towards attestation [0], and already has "Trusted Publisher" [1]. Ruby has had signed gems since v2 [2]. These aren't a panacea. But they do mean an effort has been made. npm has been talking about maybe doing

LLMs don't copy and paste. They ingest and generate. The output will always be a generated something.

That article also mentioned previous trials from other companies that are ongoing, from previous years. And Volvo rolled a class 8 as well.

There are already self-driving trucks on the roads. Their pilots came earlier, because the problem space is much smaller. They don't need to "catch up" to Waymo, because of the niche. https://bigrigs.com.au/20

Yeah, scanning usually just needs start and end of each word. But as I can't get the endings, I can't get the word.

From GCC 13, and clang 17. (2023). Unfortunately, MSVC, always lags and fails to implement some things.

SoQL's lack of joins and subqueries makes it a real pain in my life. `having` and `group by` are not enough when doing a lot of things - like confirming data migration of 40m objects. Can't do a query builder in one step, or must

And yet, in Germany like elsewhere, piracy spiked during COVID's lockdowns. Some places say greater than 180%. Showing that their enforcement alone, was not an effective tool.

Maybe not how you were brought up, and people argue... But Watson & Watson, back in '87, described ref counting as "An efficient garbage collection scheme for parallel computer architectures". Even the dragon book refers

It is interesting, that the bundling of updates has accidentally caused a problem. a) People avoiding the update because one part causes problems b) A security fix they probably need is only in that update

As the article above attempts to show, there's no loop. Memory and state isn't static. You are always processing, evolving. That's part of why organizational complexity is one of the underpinnings for consciousness. Because w

Handful of causes: + No hardware acceleration enabled. + Multiple graphics cards, and browser can't decide which to use. + Race conditions that can rarely cause a mount of 3d onto a 2d context (often happens to Unity).

Whilst all the choices you make tend to be in the grey matter, the rest of you does have internal state - mostly in your white matter. https://scisimple.com/en/articles/2025-03-22-white-matter-a-...

Scientifically, intelligence requires organizational complexity. And has for about a hundred years. That does actually disqualify some mechanisms from counting as intelligent, as the behaviour cannot reach that threshold. We might change th

Okay... But we're now back to invalid states being possible. Tagging with time isn't enough.

And the moment you need to merge, unrepresentable states become possible. There are techniques to make it less painful, but it will still be possible.

That requires a different primary key than the time then, no?

But it does mention that prompt complexity is not related to the output. It does say that there is a maximal complexity that LLMs can have - which leads us back to... Intelligence requires organizational complexity that LLMs are not capable

If you want invalid states unrepresentable, and time as a primary key... How do you deal with time regularly becoming non-linear within the realm of computing?

If you could do that, you could just flash a new ROM to ignore serial errors, too. The checks are not entirely in software, and would not be in showing the error, either.

If you're in a testing environment, where your SIT and UAT are looking to break stuff though, don't you usually want to be able to look to a log of everything?

Probably worth noting that there's already an SRFI for this. [0] And that macro will work on any Scheme implementing the standard since about '98. (define-syntax rec (syntax-rules () ((rec (NAME . VARIABLES) .
