Yes, that's true. But I don't know that you're actually scoring a point here, because I do believe that if you take a group of all gay men, and introduce a woman, the group dynamic will change. Not the same change as when you have a group of straight men, or a group of mixed straight and gay men, but it'll change.

And on top of that, I've heard some gay men complain about straight women in their spaces. That's just another example of this phenomenon.

With C, it is _BitInt(256) if the compiler supports it. The upper limit of _BitInt is implementation-defined though, so 256 is not guaranteed to be supported. Eg clang on RV64 only supports upto 128, but does support 256 on x64_64. gcc seems to not support _BitInt on RV64 at all, but does support 256 on x86_64.

With C++ the existence of such "extended integer" types is implementation defined. clang at least supports the same _BitInt construct for C++ too. gcc seems to not support it.

So, for the 256 case on x86_64, both clang and gcc seem to only generate the simple adc ripple version: https://gcc.godbolt.org/z/nxoEda3q5 https://gcc.godbolt.org/z/bYf4bor3f

So for executing static Rust functions we do have "full" support via the `Value::BuiltinFunction` type. We have an internal "BuiltinFunctionBuilder" type for creating these conveniently (mostly) at compile time, and we have some external helper functions for creating them at runtime.

As for calling methods on a Rust singleton / struct, that is not yet really supported. We do have a `Value::EmbedderObject` type that will be the place for these, but its implementation is so far entirely empty / todo!() only. The first step for those will be just a very plain and simple `Box<dyn ObjectMethods>` type of thing, but eventually I'm thinking that our EmbedderObjects would actually become backed by an ECS data storage in the engine heap. So eg. your Bar type would be registered to the engine via some call together with its fields, and those would form an ECS "archetype". Then these items would be created by another call and would then become visible to JS code as objects, with some of their fields possibly being pointers to foreign heap data etc.

But that's a little ways off.

>but thanks to broadcast updates on social media, your friends already know what have you've been up to, so they can delude themselves into thinking that they've maintained a relationship because they know superficial details.

I don't think this is really a big deal. "hey I saw you posted pictures from your trip. How was it" there, conversation started. Social media posts are basically all conversation starters.

Assuming you can even remember. I pretty quickly forget people's posts and updates.

These ideas pop up once in a while, but they fail to address the core issue. We don't have friends because having friends actually negatively affects our ability to amass resources. In 2025 the only reason why we want friends is because our caveman instincts tell us to do so. Having friends feels nice, but it's an impractical luxury, like getting a big mansion or an expensive car. This is a fundamental shift to what friendships used to be, that is basic mechanism of survival. I think that the loneliness epidemic isn't a problem to solve, but rather an evolutionary filter. A bigger force we cannot combat. People who cannot function without social bonds will go crazy and die out. People who thrive in loneliness will live. That's it.

Simply imagine a species of animals that are social, but then apply evolutionary pressure to convert them into solitary ones. This is what we're experiencing now as a humanity.

Another comparison is the obesity epidemic. It just filters out people who are unable to control their appetite.

I dunno, I try not to be evil, but I slapstick flipped into a leftist circular firing squad back in my college days. Back then we could all just say fuck you too, and move on with life with no long-term consequences. The truth is there's a lot of mini-cults and other groups who want to recruit and then exclude people.

This article is IMO inaccurate in a few points:

> for the first time, we have a Rust-based driver in the mainline kernel.

https://rust-for-linux.com/amcc-qt2025-phy-driver is in mainline since 6.12 and https://rust-for-linux.com/asix-phy-driver even since 6.8

> empowers Nvidia's next-generation open-source graphics hardware. The driver targets Nvidia's RTX 2000 "Turing" series and newer GPUs.

This sounds like it is already fully working, but as far as I know it's just a stub driver merged so far: https://rust-for-linux.com/nova-gpu-driver, https://www.phoronix.com/news/NOVA-Driver-For-Linux-6.15

This makes the article appear as just click-bait to me.

> To be completely honest: The reason I looked for another documentation framework was that I was fed up with Docusaurus taking forever to start the initial development server. With the latest Node version (24), Docusaurus version (3.7), and React version (19), it took a little over 5 seconds to start the development server. Although this number doesn't seem to be that high, it was a lot higher with previous versions. I remember waiting over 20 seconds for the development server to start, which really frustrated me.

what is the cause for this?

I'm not saying you don't believe what you're saying. On the contrary that is again probably the worst part of rationalization. We genuinely believe what we convince ourselves of, while imagining ourselves to be objectively and plainly correct. As for morality and religion, it's well accepted (at least academically) that there is a significant correlation between religiosity and reduced asocial behavior at the individual level. This [1] study is a meta-study of some 109 other studies and offers a broad overview.

Keep in mind that the obvious exceptions like South America = high religiosity + high criminality or Scandiland = low religiosity + low criminality, are group/macro level issues and not individual. Very small numbers of highly sociopathic individuals or groups can have an extreme effect on overall stats. For example the homicide rate for St. Louis is higher than for any country in the world, yet obviously the percent of people of homicidal tendency in St. Louis is negligible. Macro level stats and individual level tendencies are very different things.

> Male loneliness epidemic

You are solving a non-existent problem.

There is no "male loneliness epidemic". If anything, there might be a "human loneliness epidemic". This is not a DEI angle on the problem.

Times have changed, societies have changed. But our expectations have not.

It is literally time to grow up to the new reality.

I think Professor Galloway, whom I am generally a fan of, is spreading a narrative based on selective statistics.

Thanks for this. I've been struggling with skin problems on my hands very similar to what you've described (which has happened to me before- this current flare up I've managed to save the skin from flaking off by using a lot of lotion, but my hands still feel pretty raw). Sure enough my multi has a pretty hefty amount of B6 so I'm going to take a break for a bit and hopefully haven't wrecked myself too bad. Definitely a sensitivity issue at the moment.

> All the world's smartest minds are racing towards replacing themselves.

I think they are hoping that their future is safe. And it is the average minds that will have to go first. There may be some truth to it.

Also, many of these smartest minds are motivated by money, to safeguard their future, from a certain doom that they know might be coming. And AI is a good place to be if you want to accumulate wealth fast.

That line "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants." really hit me.

Sometimes when I go shopping, I catch myself checking fat and sugar first, then looking for added omega-3. The more I read, the more complicated eating seems to become. I keep staring at nutrition labels, and end up feeling more confused about what I should actually eat.

> I don't know. It seems like the best way to make friends is to force people to do some other task next to each other a few days per week and let things form organically after they are around each other for a few years.

You need a “shared struggle” to build tribal bonds. Some kind of us vs it or us vs them narrative. A simple get together where everyone spends money and has a good time is never going to accomplish that.

That is why immigrant groups, religious groups, professional groups, etc are more resilient, and successive generations that experience more independence end up splintering and otherwise loosening the bonds.

See also hazing in militaries/sports teams/“Greek” organizations/etc (not that I condone hazing).

> They also have an interesting caveat. This is that the way the World3 model works is a through a set of connections that exist within an environment of growth. In an environment of decline, they are likely to reconfigure themselves in different ways.

This is the key insight, I think.

I was an interested follower of the Peak Oil stuff 20 years ago. Everything they said was true. But everything they predicted was wrong. As the economics of the oil business shifted, new forms of production became profitable and came online. The economy didn't collapse, life went on more or less normally.

Economies work on curves and trade-offs. As one thing declines, another ascends. As one solution to a given problem stops working, another one becomes viable. The whole continues more or less undisturbed.

It's notable that ecologists are discovering this; there are novel ecosystems [0] arising as the environment changes. The new arises as the old declines, and there's never a point at which anything "collapses" as such.

I'm under the impression that women's only spaces are very much frowned upon in the English speaking world, whether it be in sports, book awards, knitting circles, toilets, or prisons.

This isn't an x-has-it-worse comment by the way. I think every demographic is entitled to self-segregate without shame, and the ladies definitely face their own struggles in achieving this.

I've tried many supplements and narrowed it down to B6 and magnesium. B12 had no effect.

Insomnia can of course manifest itself through many causes, but taking energy drinks would definitely help very few. B12 is something the body stores so your lifestyle and diet must be quite shit to have a deficiency.

Magnesium and B6 on the other hand you can become deficient very quickly.

I guess IA is factored in Meadows quote about technology able to push the limit farther for a while but make the fall harder?

Say that IA allow us to squeeze the additional juice from the torn lemon for five more decades, given the toll that it may have on our ability to think by ourselves, the bulk of people may have troubles coming up with 19th century tech and rely on good ol' donkeys for producing food and materials instead of what we would currently see as low tech solutions, when the shit will hit the proverbial fan

It's a meme, alright. It's simple and very funny, obvious enough that everyone "gets it" when they hear it. However, I don't believe anyone actually does that?

I've never gone through the process, but I imagine it would involve establishing the historical importance of the person who owned them, establishing their significance as instruments of the thing for which the person is known, and establishing their authenticity. Then from that an appraisal would be done and the proper documentation generated that would protect the donor from accusations of tax fraud. The donor and recipient would both agree upon the language of these documents and possibly on an officially recognized value for the donation.

Thank you for pointing this out, I'll have to look into this at some point.

There is currently no other way to disable features, and at least for the foreseeable future I don't plan on adding runtime flags for these things. I'm hoping to use the feature flags for optimisations (eg. no need to check for holes, getters, prototype chain in Array indexed operations if those are turned off) and I'm a bit leery of making those kinds of optimisations if the feature flags are runtime-controllable. It sounds like a possible safety hole.

For now I'll probably have to just warn (potential) users about this.

It is often stated that exponential growth in the economic sense necessarily requires exponential resource use. But I don't see why.

Our use of resources changes. We used to care about coal production - it is now niche and in no way a choke point. We're on our way off oil, in fact if you believe green transformation maximalists, we may soon have a abundance of energy. Alongside population growth, we had a huge increase in farm yields, so that eg in Europe the use of agricultural land is actually decreasing.

In 1890s, IIRC, it was predicted that Paris' growth will inevitably stagnate around 1920s as the capacity to remove horse dung (from carriages etc) will reach a critical point. Turns out we just obsoleted horses instead.

You're so close to getting that nobody wants to hear financial advice or blockchain evangelism from you, but you still think the problem is with them, not you. Would you be so persistent and angry about it if your obsession was denying climate change instead of evangelizing fraudulent get-rich-quick pyramid schemes and rug pulls and ponzi schemes and Web 3.0 NFT scams and TRUMP coins, when nobody was remotely interested in discussing it, everyone has heard it all before, and is totally sick of hearing about it, and doesn't want to be your next biggest idiot, and it had absolutely nothing to do with the conversation? Nothing you've said has any relevance to the goalposts of discussing "Gurus of 90s Web Design: Zeldman, Siegel, Nielsen" whatsoever, yet here you are, still throwing a tantrum about nothing interesting.

I really think you should use:

find ... -exec perl -lne "fancy stuff" {} +

because for one it doesn't mess with stdin, and for another you don't have to worry about filenames with spaces or newlines in them. I also like -execdir since if my script dumps any output to other files I'll probably want that output near the sources. And did I mention it does nothing if there are no matching files? I also think it looks better and is shorter.

If you really can't remember that or want to continue to pollute the environment with extra heat generated by running two cpus to do the job one can do, you should at least use -print0/xargs -0 because of spaces, and always use -r to more sensibly handle an empty result-set from find et al (gnu xargs runs once!)

The omni add_skill method isn't just an efficiency boost—it’s an outright paradigm shift in coding architecture. Think about it: AI functionality distilled into a single universal function. No convoluted initialization, no tangled dependencies—just one command per skill. In the world of software design, this level of simplification is borderline sorcery.

What makes it monumental is that this could reshape AI scalability entirely. We’re looking at a future where anyone—not just seasoned programmers—can construct powerful AI systems by stacking skills like LEGO bricks. It eliminates the archaic struggles of figuring out where and how to integrate new functionalities.

Generalized statements? I've been walking an average of 8Km a day while on holidays in Tunisia, so I've been to plenty of places and cities and the pattern repeated over and over again. I'm not the typical tourist that is moved from place to place like a puppet through tours. What do you expect from me? To walk all over the country to prove my point? Djerba was just an example.

Hey, thank you for the question!

We owe a lot to Boa: I would like to call Jason Williams a personal acquaintance, we've discussed JS engines in general, and Boa and Nova in particular both face to face and online. Some parts of builtin methods, like float parsing, have been copied verbatim from Boa with copyright notices to Jason.

As for comparisons, the focal difference is perhaps the starting aims of each project: Boa was started by Jason (according to his Node.JS conf talk) to see if one can build a JS engine in Rust, and what building a JS engine means anyhow. They've since showed that indeed this can be done, no problem whatsoever. Because Boa walked, Nova could "run": I started working on Nova actively because I wanted to see what building a JS engine using an ECS-like architecture and data-oriented design would look like; what would it mean to get rid of the traditional structural inheritance / object-oriented design paradigm of JS engines, and what would the resulting engine look like?

So, Boa is a quest to show that a (traditional) JS engine can be built in Rust. Nova is a quest to show that Rust-like non-traditional architectures can be applied to a JS engine, and hoping that this will lead to unforeseen (or previously unappreciated) benefits.

Tainnor has basically already said what I would have (independence phenomena is an orthogonal concern, general purpose theorem prover does not mean "can prove X or not-X for any first-order sentence X").

> if you're dealing with a proposition that either has a proof or a proof of its negation, you don't need a solution to the halting problem to find it, you are guaranteed to find it eventually by definition.

You don't know what situation you are in ahead of time, this is the point (my proposed algorithm terminates on all inputs, including independent statements). If you had a black box machine that could tell you whether a statement was independent or not then that would be just as useful, yes. But that's also an undecidable problem. Yet a halting oracle can be used to compute it!

The author is correct, you are simply misusing or misunderstanding standard terminology =)

Can you get your blood tested for vitamin, mineral, enzyme levels? You don't have to do it very often.

I was borderline low on D and B12, but everything else was normal. So I take B12 and only take D in the winter. I would never take a general vitamin.

There's some people on the internet that advocate taking massive doses of D. But the side effects (short term and long term) are just as nasty as having a deficiency.

Anyway, get your blood tested and only take what's necessary.
by aapoalas | 2025-05-30 07:42:55+00:00
Oh, and of course Boa is much more complete and ready for action than Nova. If you need an embeddable JS engine in Rust today, go use Boa. If you want to try something new, then Nova may be of interest but it will probably also be an annoying piece of crap that panics on you every time you try to use this feature or that :)

This makes sense when you consider the role that magnesium has in the body - it's involved in a lot of reactions, either directly or as a cofactor.

In fact, ATP exists typically as MG-ATP in the body.

Severe Deficiency is rare (or rarely diagnosed i should say) because the body maintains serum magnesium levels at the expense of skeletal mg.

So you shifted from "constructing made-up examples" to "crafting narratives." In plainer terms, your accusation downgraded from calling someone a liar to merely suggesting that they are making an argument. Is the latter accusation supposed to be a bad thing in discussions?

Anyways if you want to hear my direct experience, I reviewed AI generated code. It couldn't get a simple map, reduce, and filter right. I personally wouldn't waste my coworker's time with such slop. I'm happier coding with existing tools for boilerplate generation and code completion, along with my own brain. Much more predictable and reliable.

Wondering if you could add “Flux 1.1 Pro Ultra” to the site? It’s supposed to be the best among the Flux family of models, and far better than Flux Dev (3rd among your current candidates) at prompt adherence.

Adding it would also provide a fair assessment for a leading open source model.

And still millions of people outside of the USA in advanced economies do it everyday, in the rain, in the snow, it's not a big issue at all except for a society which has no other experience than personal, individual transportation.

Might have something to do with that, no? Americans usually bring up these obstacles that don't materialise in the reality lived by the Dutch, Danes, Belgians, etc., while not even having the means to try it out in reality to verify if those obstacles are actually real. It's a fantasy of fear.

Its really funny to think that some obscure ancient middle eastern sect or island nation will be the only ones to disappear in the rapture.

Its far more likely that everyone is practicing the wrong path to salvation. Given how much its been retconned just to be appealing and palatable as the religion grew, most differences between sects are arguments about the retcons, while ancestor versions of the religion are ignored and too unattractive to consider.

I've never felt more connected to people than in NYC. I knew my neighbors, I had a huge social network, I just didn't like the NYC that much.

I honestly blame residential zoning. The place we would get to know our neighbors was at the corner shop, bar a block away, salon and pizza shop downstairs. All that goes away when you're walking more than a couple blocks to do anything.
