Boeing and openai whistleblowers

Good luck getting any form of punishment even if found guilty. It's a department of war contractor... People who disrupt things like that end up committing suicide.

Here's a wake up call for everyone sending all of their ip to openai and anthropic. Especially in verticals they intend to dominate. Lol at all the biotech companies all in on Claude and paying millions in fdes creating huge lapses in security as they go.

It's possible but the approaches these tools take are usually verbose and strange. Think about it like anything else llms do. Even when the picture is right and there are only 5 digits on each hand all the textures are off and so is the lighting and postures. Or in code, the code is always way larger then it needs to be and tightened up strangely with weird loose ends. Or in writing weird idioms, words, structure, and a weaselly way to turn 3 sentences into 8 paragraphs.

People usually use these tools in math and science to find an answer. Then often they will work it back using more sane or human pathways. So it's shareable or even beautiful.

Knowing the answer has value. But, often in math the best thing was how someone got there.

I have core contributions to the language too.

I think you misunderstood my sentiment. That's okay. In a few years you'll probably be where I am now. Setting a reminder for 2 years.

If you think this has no effect on core contributions or directionality for the language I have a crazy deal on a timeshare

Lul. No. Everytime one of these "look how amazing Julia pots comes up", myself and many others do what we can to protect other people from wasting their time or their money from using it due to our personal experiences with it professionally or as hobbyists.

There are vc investments and other corporate sponsors which heavily dictate the language and it's ecosystem.

Strong avoid outside of academic use. It's been this way for more than a decade.

I strongly recommend listening to others experiences and not forwarding some conversion metric for the languages share holders. Maybe there's a lot of wisdom in smart people being vocal enough to say "yea no" about it. It's not like it's one person...

Yea this wasn't user error which is the common gaslight trope from the Julia community. Yes some of these instances post dated 1.0 . Yes the average person is sick of being told there's nothing wrong with the technology when there's been a serious track record of it being a disaster. For companies an expensive one.

It's really not early days. The language is about 15 years old. That excuse gets really tired.

It's crazy to me how every person posting positively about Julia has the same tactics. They don't change year after year. They try to draw people in only to find it's a Trainwreck or a waste of time.

I just hope my comments save a start up a few million dollars or a curious hobbyist 5 months of their free time.

Not griping about the internals. More like breaking changes, weird issues with basic transitive dependencies breaking after a minor version bump to the language. Gave me, and others on the team, the impression that the whole thing was held together with bubblegum and toothpicks.

The ode stuff is cool, but when we reached for it none of the demos ran on recent versions. It was almost like the groups working on it either intentionally made it so you couldn't keep up with them or that again everything was built on a bed of sand.

I agree writing linear algebra in Julia is clean. That said, the cost for adding a few "." Chars or calling a library in any other language far outweighed the costs for trying to buy into the language itself.

I didn't even know you could do web dev in Julia. I don't want to know what that looks like.

It was a great idea for a language. In practice though,it's hard to recommend. Great pet project for some mit professors to make a bunch of side money on top of their salaries though. Everyone else riding it is pretty much trying to niche their career rather then build something people can rely on unfortunately. It's the most unstable language I've ever used. In production I watched companies spend millions of dollars, not large companies, dealing with that aspect of it. The ecosystem surrounding it, though it's old enough, is also incredibly weak.

It's a shame. So hard to recommend it to anyone outside of an academic environment.
