AI and the Right To Learn on an Open Internet

Thu, 02 May 2024 00:00:00 +0000

As part of my involvement with Common Crawl Foundation, I recently attended the “AI and the Right To Learn on an Open Internet: A Conversation Convened by Common Crawl Foundation and Professor Jeff Jarvis” in New York.

Jeff and Rich ended the conference by going wide and asking the entire group of attendees for next steps.

The suggestion I put forth was to pair the policy makers and lawyers with data scientists or software engineers to develop robust ways of validating whatever the policies might be.

Crate	Downloads	Dependents	Github Stars	Github Contributors	Github Used By	Notes
polars	500k	88	21k	302	4.3k	Dataframes for data prep/filtering/etc - this is easily the best choice. Can now do streaming, so, can handle > in memory as well.
linfa	162k	24	3k	37	321	decent set of algorithms. OpenBLAS, netlib, intel MKL (all linux)
rustlearn	16k	1	599	8	121	Not nearly as robust as linfa, but does have some unique algorithms.

Crate	Downloads	Dependents	Github Stars	Github Contributors	Github Used By	Notes
dioxus	100k	66	14.5k	169	1.2k	A virtual DOM for rust. Part of opencollective, has a large and growing community, and used by numerous startups, etc.
tauri	1.1M	69	70k	302	518	Very robust, but only desktop (and soon to be mobile)
yew	800k	186	28.8k	402	10.3k	Also open collective!. This is great, but web only.
egui	1.4M	240	17.1k	320	10.2k	Very opinionated, web+native. pre-built GUI components, could build an entire OS out of it. Ugly, and not very web-friendly though… for an admin tool though, this would be awesome (which is really what it’s made for)

Web Server Link to heading

In the realms of Java and .NET, a web application server serves as a critical component, providing an environment where web applications can run and manage web-based requests. Java has options like Apache Tomcat and WildFly, while .NET relies on servers like IIS or Kestrel. These servers handle a myriad of tasks including request processing, application lifecycle management, and security. In contrast, when it comes to Rust, a language still maturing in web development, selecting an appropriate web application server is not as straightforward. There isn’t a default go-to like in Java or .NET ecosystems. Instead, we need to explore and choose from emerging options such as Actix-Web, Rocket, or Warp, each offering unique features and performance characteristics tailored for Rust’s concurrency model and safety guarantees. This choice is pivotal to ensure efficient request handling, scalability, and robustness in Rust-based web applications.

Modularization Link to heading

Modularization is important in big software projects. It’s like building with Lego blocks – each piece of code is its own little block. This makes it easier for different teams to work on their own parts without messing up the whole thing. It’s also great for fixing bugs and adding new features, since you only have to change one block at a time. Plus, you can reuse these blocks in other projects, saving time and hassle. In short, modularization keeps everything organized, flexible, and easy to handle, especially when things need to change fast.

Introduction to Enterprise Applications Link to heading

The term “enterprise” in the context of software development often elicits mixed reactions. However, for the purpose of this discussion, let’s define an enterprise application as a comprehensive, collaboratively developed solution that adheres to high standards of long-term maintenance. Such an application is characterized by its modular design, both internally and externally, ease of integration, and its ability to address complex business challenges efficiently and reliably.
