"This pattern has roughly repeated three times:
- DeepMind received its first major investment by Peter Thiel (introduced by Eliezer), and Jaan Tallinn later invested for a 1% stake. One founder, Mustafa Suleyman, got fired for abusively controlling employees, but Demis Hassabis kept heading the company. DeepMind lost so much money that it had to be acquired by Google.
- Distrusting DeepMind (as now directed by Demis under Google), Sam Altman and Elon Musk founded the nonprofit OpenAI. Sam and Elon fought for the CEO position, and Sam gained control. Holden made a grant to this nonprofit, which subsequently acted illegally as a for-profit under investments by Microsoft.
- Distrusting OpenAI (as now directed by Sam to appease Microsoft), Daniela and Dario left to found Anthropic. Then all the top billionaires in the safety community invested. Then Anthropic received $8 billion in investments from Amazon.
We are dealing with a gnarly situation.
(...)
One take on this is a brutal realist stance: That’s just how business gets done. They convince us to part with our time and money and drop us when we’re no longer needed, they gather their loyal lackeys and climb to the top, and then they just keep playing this game of extraction until they’ve won.
It is true that’s how business gets done. But I don’t think any of us here are just in it for the business. Safety researchers went to work at Anthropic because they care. I wouldn’t want us to tune out our values – but it’s important to discern where Anthropic’s leaders are losing integrity with the values we shared."

love2d stavolta che gira, nonostante la octo-oriented programming!
Sorprendentemente, appena qualche ora di sonno e qualche ora di scrittura magica un pochino avanti e indietro più tardi, e ho effettivamente trovato una soluzione al problema problemoso delle prestazioni imbarazzanti di Love2D caricato di una tale OOP che non gira affatto bene su una viemmina come quella di Lua… e, anche se come previsto il modo che ho dovuto mettere in atto è abbastanza spaventoso, non è nemmeno inadatto alla produzione, e anzi: è gnammastico. 😳
L’obiettivo in mente era una roba del tipo: avere nel possibile una programmazione orientata ad oggetti che, per ridurre l’overhead causato da troppi lookup in tabelle e troppe chiamate di funzioni in poco tempo, fosse basata principalmente sulla composizione, desiderio che è anche comune in Lua… ma, volendo evitare Lua, perché voglio invece qualcosa di fortemente tipizzato, perché altrimenti so che finisce rapidamente tutto a spacc. In questo senso, Teal è interessante, però, per motivi che ora non frecano, non mi convince più di tanto… e allora ho ragionato su cosa si potesse fare con TypeScript… 😨
Ecco: sorprendentemente, sfruttando semplicemente gli oggetti anonimi (uguali a quelli di JavaScript, che si mappano perfettamente a tabelle di Lua) in congiunzione con il sistema di tipi composti di TypeScript (che funzionano come le interfacce nella OOP, ma indicano tipi di oggetti), evitando completamente le classi del linguaggio… con la proprietà intrinseca degli oggetti in JavaScript (e in Lua, duh, in qualunque linguaggio interpretato) di essere componibili, ma combinati coi tipi lì, si riesce ad avere a livello di sviluppo tutta la sicurezza dei tipi di TypeScript, ma in output codice Lua estremamente pulito!!! (E che, per inciso, evita completamente l’uso delle metatabelle, anch’esse causa di rallentamenti.) 🤯
Benchmark stavolta niente, poiché palle, e anche perché i “fottuti rettangoli” hanno mostrato prestazioni negative inaspettate rispetto alle 2 versioni scritte a mano ieri in Lua… ma non perché il codice sputato fuori da TypeScriptToLua in questo caso sia sporco, quanto più perché ho già iniziato a reimplementare con questo nuovo paradigma il mio motorino desiderato, che ovviamente dell’overhead in più lo ha comunque, ma… Stavolta, la demo di Breakout sul 3DS è magicamente giocabile, non va più a 5 secondi al frame!!! (E sul PC mi si aggira su 1-2% di CPU, che è wow.) 🗽
Ora… boh, solo le pareti che mi tengono compagnia quando programmo sapranno dirmi come andrà avanti questo affarino. A parte il fatto che ho dovuto già ripensare abbastanza la API da come l’avrei voluta inizialmente — dovendo farla deviare già parecchio da HaxeFlixel, perché non sembra esserci modo di avere i tipi completamente sicuri dovendo allo stesso tempo minimizzare gli oggetti nidificati e le catene di funzioni — ci sono alcuni dettagli per cui questa cosa degli oggetti pseudoclassisti funzionano che mi sanno di strano, perché praticamente devo tenere le definizioni all’effettivo completamente separate dalle implementazioni (quindi, per esempio, devo usare Cacca.new()
per creare una nuova cacca
, ma TCacca
per riferirmi al tipo…), ma sarà un TypeScript skill issue. 😶
C’è anche da dire che con questo mio accrocco non c’è incapsulazione, implementarla sarebbe un casino e costerebbe (per via di come funziona Lua, che costringe ad usare funzioni anonime per implementare questa cosa; funzioni che verrebbero interamente copiate su ogni singolo oggetto) lo spreco di un fottio di memoria (termine tecnico)… ma non lo vedo come un problema; casomai dovesse servire il distinguere campi pubblici da privati, basterà rubare la convenzione di Python per cui le variabili che iniziano con gli underscore sono ad uso interno. E, davvero, l’unico aspetto negativo di questa macchinazione credo sia il fatto di non poter ottimizzare ulteriormente senza ridurre il riuso del codice, avendo svariate chiamate a funzioni miste che per quanto piccole sarebbero meglio inlinate, cioè copincollate dal compilatore anziché lo sviluppatore, se solo Lua lo permettesse… (…E se scrivessi un postprocessore Lua per fare esattamente ciò???)

Meloni: “Niente truppe a Kiev”. Ipotesi militari addestrati in Italia
La presidente del Consiglio ai Volenterosi: “Mosca non può essere la sede dei colloqui”Francesco Malfetano (La Stampa)
"An analysis by Hanna Homestead of the National Priorities Project, a nonpartisan research group, found that if Trump deployed 3,000 National Guard troops to Chicago it would cost taxpayers around $1,590,000 per day. It’s the latest runaway expense — expected to climb into the hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars — connected to Trump’s efforts to turn the U.S. into a genuine police state.
“Deploying National Guard troops to Chicago is only going to add to taxpayers’ growing tab for these law-and-order optics,” said Stephen Ellis, the president of Taxpayers for Common Sense, a nonpartisan budget watchdog group. “Spending millions of dollars a day on troops milling about major American cities is a waste of their time and squanders precious resources.”
A federal judge ruled on Tuesday that Trump’s deployment of troops to Los Angeles was illegal and harkened back to Britain’s use of soldiers as law enforcement officers in colonial America. He warned that Trump intends to transform the National Guard into a presidential police force.
It remains unclear whether that judicial decision will be enforced. Given the Supreme Court ruling earlier this year decreeing that federal district courts cannot issue injunctions against federal policies nationwide, any decision on a Chicago occupation would have to come from a case of its own.
Trump has threatened to deploy troops to Chicago for weeks, following militarized crackdowns in Los Angeles in June and in Washington, D.C., last month. “I will solve the crime problem fast, just like I did in D.C. Chicago will be safe again, and soon,” Trump posted to TruthSocial on Tuesday, the same day that the federal judge deemed the California troop deployment illegal."

But that's the absolute maximum I will give these sniveling whining spineless fucks who can't seem to even do the goddamn minimum thing they could possibly do:
Show up every day
Do whatever procedural bullshit you can to slow shit down. Demand an actual roll call vote for EVERYTHING.
Ensure your whole caucus votes no on every single thing that would advance Trump's agenda in the slightest no matter what.
If they can't even show up and vote no to fascist fucks when that's literally their jobs, they ain't gonna get a dime from me or a single afternoon stuffing envelopes.

I also hate imperialism so much. It really really really bothers me how so many leftists overlook or ignore the absolute horrific oppression the global south is enduring, in favor of maintaining a gradualist social democratic status quo.
And I feel like the body of work that expands on Lenin is one of the richest criticisms of imperialism and its nature as the most developed form of capitalist expropriation.

I support a democratic party of the working class, a broad leftist coalition that includes anarchists and other non Marxist market abolitionist socialists, and the implementation of a council democracy in the same vein as Rosa Luxemburg, council communists, and some anarchists (or what I sometimes call Soviet democracy)
Where I agree with Lenin most is his written perspective on imperialism, the state, the abolition of the police (which he blatantly didn't do), and the question of parliamentary engagement.
