None, I have kept it away with a ten foot pole. It has too many issues with low quality suggestions and is unclear with respect to licenses and IP rights. I generally do not find it impressive.

> You may as well complain that the C guides didn't work in Java.

Java borrowed a lot of syntax from C, and it has been very successful. If Java had instead taken the powershell approach of needlessly deviating with the syntax, it probably would not have become as popular as it did. So that example supports the opposite of what you thought it does.
Security is governance of tech, and when that clicks, it makes sense why MSFT or anyone can't just "fix" it. I genuinely dislike that company and its products, but releasing vulnerabilities and exploits or shipping code with risks is part of the ecosystem.

The article implies it has an old way of thinking where because software is artificial we can ostensibly operate it as being a deterministic system, and that we can solve security, which is effectively a political problem of control and power, by specifying the right operations. Reality is, we have initial conditons and incentives, and what happens in between is dynamic.

Governance has policy, surveillance, and enforcement, and security products fall into those buckets, with the highest value being to the latter, and the smartest being the first. Policy requires more forethought and coordination than you can reasonably expect at scale within orgs, let alone across different ones, so we (sec) sell surveillance and enforcement tools instead.
I'd put him in the same level as Anders Hejlsberg. And I'm not a microsoft fan.
You are correct. IPFS attempts to address this issue by giving the asset a hash, so if no computer/server connected to the IPFS network has the asset, and you the owner have it, you could re-upload it to an IPFS server or join the network using your computer and the link will work again.
if you listen to trueanon they had to open multiple overflow rooms becuase press agents from all over the world are lining up hours early to get it, it's not low profile.

All you need is for the ledger to contain a hash of the file, and one of the people interesting in ownership of the NFT to keep a copy of the file around.
I didn't know it was that old. There's a 1997 article that is in a similar vein, basically saying that Ada was created to slow down software development for the Soviets by bogging them down in creating an Ada compiler and using Ada:

I have a feeling we're not in emerald city anymore by Henry G. Baker, https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/254459.254465

I've been looking for a few minutes for a public copy or transcription, because I doubt I read it in ACM's digital library (though I may have when I was in college). I wonder how much it may have influenced this Stroustrup "interview".
I know a child who was repeatedly raped on video, and the perp kept on boasting to the girl about how he was trading the videos for stuff.

He was eventually charged, and it was really really tough making a case against him. He argued that the stuff the girl said was implanted by the therapists, that her testimony was tainted, that he would counter-sue, etc. (He got one year!! which was more than I expected, and will soon be out to terrorize her further.)

I have no doubt that there are many government services that are busy curating all this type of stuff [and I don't doubt they are mostly staffed by sickos, but that is irrelevant for this post].

I dreamed that there be some way I can upload a image of a victim, and be told if there is such a video in the DB - and then, with 100 proofs of identity, only she or her guardian would be able to access it. That would at the very least allow such perpetrators to better be convicted, and in the case where there are multiple kids in the videos or the videos are part of a group, it would help find the other victims and perhaps stop a lot of wickedness.

I reached out to one British agency, and they told me that they have a collection of videos, that its existence is murky legally, and that they cannot help me search within it.

But maybe someone somewhere knows how this could be done?
To be "basically verbatim," there would need to be a sentence making the same assertion with different wording.

It's true that the paper appears to show cognitive differences lasting months among some subsets of people with previous COVID-19 infections in the UK. It is not true that the paper asserts that being a "COVID-19 survivor" reduces IQ by 7.

This is not only not "basically verbatim", but not among the assertions made by this paper.

A Q&A with NASA’s Astronaut Candidates
I explored on Tor about 15 years ago, by just finding indexers and what not from the regular net. I couldn't avoid links to CP everywhere. For every "innocent" link I saw, there must have been multiple links (claiming) to be of CP stashes. I'd say the only thing comparable was the number of "hitman; Pay half first, half after" links.
It depends what “everything” is though. We exist in spacetime, so we are as much the medium of the wave as everything else is. What are the ‘rocks’ in the analogy? What’s ‘wearing’ like the rocks? We don’t know enough about the spacetime or what’s out of spacetime to say.
I had a horrible experience recently due to a demolition of a 1930s house just a dozen feet away from dozen feet away from our home. I have 3 kids 10 or under, 1 aged 2. The home's exterior was covered in lead paint, probably all original. The contractors doing the job were completely ignorant of the dangers of lead, and did not follow the basic EPA guidelines (e.g. laying down plastic, picking up paint chips, paint chips scattering into our yard, etc). It was basically an illegal operation.

We kept mentioning the problem to them, but you could tell they were ignorant of the dangers. The general contractors quote was "I'd be doing this the same if it was my daughter in your house".

Anyway, I printed out the EPA guidelines, shouted them down when they fired up the back hoe that they were in violation of federal law. Luckily that stalled them for the day it took the city to get out to the site and shut it down. Now the GC was no idiot, but his general attitude was that we were overblowing the problem. When they resumed work, plastic was laid down, they picked up the paint chips, but none of the workers wore masks. If I didn't aggressively take action, nothing would have been done.
Thanks for enlightening me on the real interests driving this! Glad to see NVIDIA working in alignment with more open standards either way. :)
I don't know why you're being downvoted. The sooner these apps die the better off society as a whole will be.
I thought it would have been obvious to anyone that this is satire, but then again I know that it was explicitly presented as such the first time I read this text so I'm probably biased.
I don't see a difference. Large language models can also return their sources, as in the example on the Gopher blog post. This will lead to a quicker answer and equal transparency.
A possible reason is stack ranking in annual reviews.

I definitely see that in many of the people I work with at my clients. The more efficient staff members typically only share pretty trivial life hack-esque tips. Their comprehensive framework of all of their efficiency tricks? Kept in their heads.

If they share it, they lose their edge against the peers they are ranked against. If they don't share it, they consistently are in the top 5-10% of employees with the most story points each sprint, and they get better raises.

This is an easy decision for the employees to make. You get what you incentivize for.
I hope they add deduplication. I can’t count the number of times when I get 100 pages of results where 95 pages is from the same included library.
Ah yes. Sorry. I will write 480mbit/s (0.48Gbit/s) ongoing.
Dumb question: Closed-source doesn't mean encrypted. What stops people from disassembling and reverse-engineering the blob?

Of course, distributing a "cracked" driver would breach licensing agreements and violate copyright (and possibly other laws), so it's out of the question for any kind of professional use. However, if Nvidia uses it to differentiate services, wouldn't there be a significant risk of private consumers (gamers, hobbyists, etc) using such a driver to "upgrade" their cards for personal use?
He basically added every feature he could think of on top of C, glued it with spit and released it as a pre-processor. There was barely any design involved. Just look at how many types of inheritance there are.

I remember Stanley B. Lippman (one of the first developers on cfront) recollecting how the proposal to implement multiple inheritance was met with resistance from the community. And the implementing team realized they couldn't write a sane implementation, and people complained against it, but they made one anyway, partially because they wanted to prove they could. New features to cfront were added with very little concern for design.

Things where standardization would have mattered (like the mangling algorithm) were never touched, so now every compiler has the liberty to generate whatever symbols it wants, and call functions with whatever calling convention it chooses, so you either have to compile all your dependencies, or make sure you fetch the binaries that use the exact same compiler version and flags, otherwise they won't link.

Also, Stroustrup didn't "soldier on", the CPP standard is maintained by a committee of people from all over the world, and the standard library slowly adopts data types and algorithms from the boost library, because they need a multi-year staging period, handled by someone else, to see if things work before they muster the courage to standardize it.
By that reasoning, doesn't that mean you simply confirm the biases of the "local people leading the way" instead of your own?
Yes, I believe we needed Rust.

Backward compatibility is valuable, but so is letting go of old habits. With C++ and Rust, we can have our cake and eat it too. Plus, arguments about which language is better! ;)
We used to run a dating site where people could exchange pics. We had to manually check every submission. Loads of cp, we had a direct link with the police to report them.
There are probably many ways to formulate the same geometric constraint. For example, what parameterization of rotations do you use? I think the choice has implications for how easy it is to solve the equations.
How is the impression of playfulness not a good faith interpretation?

You of course know that the model is not capable of thought or reasoning - only the appearance of them as needed to match its training corpus. A training corpus of completely human generated data. As such, how could anything it does, be anything but anthropomorphic?

Now, if this model were trained exclusively on a corpus of mathematical proofs stripped of natural language commentary, the expectation that you seem to have would be more appropriate.
Modern C++ lets you be safe (or at least close).

Rust does much more to force you to be safe. (Or, to put it differently, C++ still has all the unsafe ways available, and not locked away behind the "unsafe" keyword.)

> They will probably dig up these stories from Sumeria

Yes, a Snow Crash reference! Chapter 28:

"'Rife Bible College, which he founded , has the richest archaeology department in the world. They have been conducting a dig in Eridu, which was the cult center of a Sumerian god named Enki.'"

[...]

"'Sumer was a civilization of clay. They made their buildings of it and wrote on it, too. . . . So all the data of the Sumerians have survived. Egypt left a legacy of art and architecture; Sumer's legacy is its megabytes.'"

[...]

"'If there was some phenomenon that moved through the population, altering their minds in such a way that they couldn't process the Sumerian language anymore. Kind of in the same way that a virus moves from one computer to another, damaging each computer in the same way. Coiling around the brainstem.'"

The food safety labels is an interesting point, but I'm not even talking about gov regulations here. Just, let's say Twitter deletes your post. What do you sue them for?

The 1a allows twitters employees to express themselves as they wish, even through the company, so their removal of your post is simply their own protected expression.
Thank you

I use Github's UI for exploring and searching codebases more often than my own environment, since I do a lot of curious browsing.

No offense, but the search is so bad for anything worse than a single word, that I've developed a sort of intuition for how to phrase things -- and then still spend a lot of time crawling pages of results haha.

This was sorely needed
The intersection of "your neighborhood has lots of lead in it" and "you flunked an inaccurate test" probably has a lot fewer false positives in it, right? You were exposed to lead. You might have lead poisoning, we can't be certain, but you're categorically in danger of getting it, based on environment and/or behaviors.
C looks simple, but isn't.
I was referring more to "giving public" advice like advice to his friends. But I'll accept I'm wrong on this though.
This is more nuanced, as there are three separate components:

* time to compile the syn itself
* time to run syn on the inputs
* time to compile whatever syn generated

I didn’t do a super thorough studies of things, but my impression is that 2, performance of syn itself, is rarely an issue. Most of the time it is 1) (and the associated problem of decreased build parallelism because half of the crates wait for syn to compile) and 3).

I am looking for an updated list of programs that give equity free funding or grants to a for-profit startup. I had earlier found a resource[0] and had bookmarked for future. However, seems it is not updated anymore.

Any updated list or any new programs that I can apply to for an equity free funding or the lack of better phrase "free money"?

You called it “rent”. Rent is something an individual pays. If everyone needs to pay Pfizer a $20 “rent” to not die of COVID I don’t see that as some horrible evil.
Agree 100%.

Also, there are some very quotable things in your comment.

"experience functional success in parallel to professional/social failure" is my favorite, though.

This article is bullshit.

It's about a kid with autism.

In your little conspiracy world how do you know if the lead gave him autism or a vaccine?

Lead in pipes doesn't cause this sort of severity like reduced speech and suppressed appetite, autism does this. Lead in pipes probably causes nothing. We don't know what it does because if it does do something it is small, it'll be epidemiological.

Just because you watched a blog about the fall of the Roman Empire doesn't mean your fixation on lead in pipes is meaningful.

> As a toddler, he had to be rushed to the hospital and started on months of “chelation” treatments to soak up the lead in his body.

This is very suspicious, I don't believe this is from lead in pipes. Things that come to mind, why not the whole household. Was the house demolished? It won't just be one special house, this should be regular.

>you've got a $250,000 salary riding on you ability to scrupulously follow best practices

Sounds like a great way to have a toxic workplace that either yells at people for bugs, or never gets anything done because people are paranoid about committing bugs (or both!). Meanwhile, with a different language you get the compiler yelling at you instead. Automated enforcement uber alles.

I don't think open source vs commercial dev really matters that much.
A lot of comments are jumping to saying how extreme this is and arguing that this is a hit piece, but I think they’re missing the important point here: Microsoft is incentivized to create insecure software. When they’re allocating the budget, it’s gonna be a harder to convince your boss to invest in security when every dollar in security is a dollar you don’t make in sales for security solutions. Bad situations arise when there is a mismatch between customer needs and company incentives.

Lol, it's the fault of the working class that they're oppressed? Strange world view.

Depending on how Hispanic people are counted, thats almost exactly in line with the 2020 census, which puts the non-hispanic white population at 57.8% [0].
