This is important to me. More than “time until login” I’d prefer “time until queue”. I want to login before walking away because I want to open certain programs. So if an OS allows me to tell it “after you boot up, open these 3 programs” but hasn’t completely booted up, I would prefer it to one that only lets you open programs once it has booted.
And no, configuring so it opens the same programs at startup doesn’t count. I wanna choose every time I turn on the computer.
To bake a cake from scratch you must first create the universe.
The C example is the wonderful happy path scenario that only manifests in dreams.
Most projects don’t have a dependency list you can just install in a single apt command. Some of those dependencies might not be even available on your distro. Or there is only a non-compatible version available. Or you have to cast some incantation to make that dependency available.
Then you have to set some random environment variables. And do a bunch of things that the maintainers see as obvious since they do it every day, so it’s barely documented.
And once you have it installed, you go to run it but discover that the fantastic CLI arguments you found online that would do what you installed this program to do, are not available in your version since it’s too new and the entire CLI was reworked. And they removed the functionality you need since it was “bad practice and a messy way to do things”.
All of this assuming the installation process is documented at all and it’s not a “just compile it, duh, you should know how to do it”.
Is there anything in the LLMs code preventing it from emitting copyrighted code? Nobody outside LLM companies know, but I’m willing to bet there isn’t.
Therefore, LLMs DO emit copyrighted code. Due to them being trained on copyrighted code and the statistical nature of LLMs.
Does the LLM tell its users that the code it outputted has copyright? I’m not aware of any instance of that happening. In fact, LLMs are probably programmed to not put a copyright header at the start of files, even if the code it “learnt” from had them. So in the literal sense, it is stripping the code of copyright notices.
Does the justice system prosecute LLMs for outputting copyrighted code? No it doesn’t.
I don’t know what definition you use for “strip X of copyright” but I’d say if you can copy something openly and nobody does anything against it, you are stripping it’s copyright.
Ah yes. Telling Ukraine that they should “stop fighting so people stop dieing” is being left of AOC and not Russian propaganda. We at ml are just peace absolutists, it’s just a coincidence that our peace absolutism somehow involves just giving everything to Russia.
Lemmy ml even has a rule of “don’t call us Russian bots or we’ll ban you”
Not the users though. I have .ml blocked, which means communities hosted there (therefore moderated by them) don’t show up. However I still have to read their tankie comments.
No you can’t. In the same way you can’t watch a Mickey mouse movie and then draw your own Mickey mouse from what you recall from the movie.
Copying can be done manually by memory, it doesn’t need to be a 1:1 match. Otherwise you could take a GPL licensed file, change the name of 1 variable, and make it proprietary code.
LLMs are just fancy lossy compression algorithms you can interact with. If I save a Netflix series in my hard drive, then re encode it, it is still protected by copyright, even if the bytes don’t match.
Logs’ purpose is to tell you what actually happened in the system. I don’t think it is a good idea to use something that “hallucinates” to tell you what really happened.
Generally agree. Except:
Logs that are a “debug diary” are not useless. Their purpose is to debug. That’s why there’s log levels. If you are not interested in that, filter by log levels above debug.
Also, the different formats for fields I see as a necessary evil. Generally, more logs (of verbose log levels) = more good. Which means that there should be as frictionless to write as possible. Forcing a specific format just means that there will be less logs being written.
The json (or any other consistent format) logs seem to be a good idea, but I would keep it to a single debug level (maybe info+error?). So if you want to get wide events, you filter by these log levels to get the full compact picture. But if you are following a debug log chain, it seems a pain to have to search for the “message” field on a potentially order-independent format instead of just reading the log.
TL;DR
Log levels have different purposes, and so they should have different requirements.
Someone on Microsoft probably needed an excuse for their pay increase.
“I rebuilt/had the idea to rebuilt the taskbar” sounds a lot better to managers than “I maintained the taskbar”.
In my case, I don’t usually encounter cases where I can’t just ?. But when I do, just make an error enum (kinda like thiserror) that encapsulates the possible errors + possibly adds more.
On the call site, just convert to string if I don’t care about specifics (anyhow-style).
I don’t find this much painful.
Concise: not much on the declaration side, since you have to create an entire enum for each function in worst-case scenario. But on code side, it’s just .map_err(MyError)?.
Type-safe: can’t beat errors as enum values wrapped in Result.
Composable: i don’t think you can beat rust enums in composability.
I don’t use anyhow/thiserror, so I’m not sure. But I believe thiserror fixes the conciseness issue for this.
“not having mandatory parenthesis in if statements is hazardous, so I prefer to write C instead of rust, because I really care about safety” < that’s how you sound.
Rust allows you to choose whatever method you want.
There are only 2 error handling methods that you cannot do:
And that is because both of them are bad because they allow you to do the second one, when .unwrap is just there and better.
If your concept of “not ugly” is “I just want to see the happy path” then you either write bad code that is “not ugly” or write good code that is “ugly”. Because there is no language that allows you to handle errors while not having error handling code near where the errors are produced.
Most of the times you can just let ... else (which is basically a custom ? if you need if let ... else it’s because you actually need 2 branching code paths. In any other language you also do if ... else when you have 2 different code branches. I don’t see why this is a rust-specific issue.
I’d say it’s much more influential the names of the identifiers of the standard library.
A language with function keyword that names it’s stdlib functions strstr and strtok will inspire way worse naming than on that has fn keyword with stdlib functions str::contains and str::split.
We could search for a random crate on crates.io and see what identifiers people actually use, or we could spread misinformation on Lemmy.
You used macro_rules, which is not common at all. Most rust files don’t contain any macro definition.
This code doesn’t even compile. There is a random function definition, and then there are loose statements not inside any code block.
The loop is also annotated, which is not common at all, and when loops are annotated it’s a blessing for readability. Additionally, the loop (+annotation) is indented for some reason.
And the loop doesn’t contain any codeblock. Just an opening bracket.
Also, the function definition contains a lifetime annotation. While they are not uncommon, I wouldn’t say the average rust function contains them. Of course their frequency changes a lot depending on context, but in my experience most functions I write/read don’t have lifetime annotations at all.
Yes, what you wrote somewhat resembles rust. But it is in no way average rust code.
Not to be confused with glibc. Where the g does actually stand for gnu.
One of the techniques I’ve seen it’s like a “password”. So for example if you write a lot the phrase “aunt bridge sold the orangutan potatoes” and then a bunch of nonsense after that, then you’re likely the only source of that phrase. So it learns that after that phrase, it has to write nonsense.
I don’t see how this would be very useful, since then it wouldn’t say the phrase in the first place, so the poison wouldn’t be triggered.
EDIT: maybe it could be like a building process. You have to also put “aunt bridge” together many times, then “bridge sold” and so on, so every time it writes “aunt”, it has a chance to fall into the next trap, untill it reaches absolute nonsense.
Who said it’s okay to invade Greenland? And of course it’s not ok to invade ukraine
