What does this mean? C defines the mechanism(s) for passing arguments to a function? That's news to me. The parent's point was that the binary mechanisms are OS- and architecture-dependent. (And compiler-/build-dependent too; e.g., when compilers are designed to pass arguments via registers rather than on a stack.) As other commenters have tried to point out, the diversity of target platforms precludes a single, one-size-fits-all ABI -- for C or for any other language.

How does a language "try to be a good ABI"? An example of such a language would help.

Back when my startup started out, we took 10 orders although the product was B2B and the average order size was around $5000.

It convinced VCs of absolutely nothing. So I just went ahead and served those customers with a backup plan that the web services behind it could be run by the customers themselves if I folded.

To be honest, it didn't exactly work but I'm still going.

The product costing $200 isn't enough information to give an answer on proving the market. VCs don't necessarily put any value on a basic question of simpler product transactions. They want "eco-systems" and "crowd dynamics" and potential unicorns. You'd be better off with normal financing if you have demand for enough widgets to make a viable business, plus the bonus of not having to give up any equity to some disinterested finance bro.
If astrology works for you then use that edge. Use the stars to predict lottery numbers (events) or how important people might influence events (personality). If you want to persuade other people it works show them how you got rich from your knowledge of astrology. If you can reliably predict events or the behavior of other people based on the stars you have a big advantage.

Writing books and giving talks to profit from the gullibility of people doesn’t count.

“Just clean the office:” Get out of the depression/anxiety spiral
First of all thank you for taking then time to think this through.

Our MVP worked fine. In fact we were reviewed by the BBC last year. It's our new version that isn't ready yet. Our chip supplier has asked us to order 6 months ahead. We do have the BOM and the hardware files at this point. We are at the point of getting our prototype boards manufactured. But the state of the world is definitely a challenge.

We would like to take preorders for two reasons: firstly to convince VCs that there is a market, and secondly to gauge how many chips we need to order.

Thank you for helping me think this through. I am beginning to see some upsides to crowdfunding even though I am turned off by how manipulated it has become (with paid backers, etc.)

This sounds similar to the Nth Country Experiment, conducted by the US in the 1960s. The idea was to see if three freshly minted physics PhDs could design a working nuclear weapon using only publicly available information. In less than 3 years, the three succeeded in creating a credible design for an implosion-style bomb.

Perhaps, but that reminds me, I forgot to mention the Bible. Facepalm. Of course the religious texts will still exist, and provide evidence for why I disagree with you. The surviving "books of the Bible" per KJV were simply the most popular by the Church of the time, perhaps because they (I'm no theologian ) served the interests of the Church/elites better at the time. In any case, I'm betting more on "breadth", than "depth".
Most prices haven't inflated on supply constraints, they've risen on opportunism of profit margin increases by companies who were allowed to merge and grow with insufficient anti-monopoly regulation.

Write an horoscope for every sign every morning and publish them here every night, without saying which sign correspond to which horoscope. Ask users to take note of the most faithful description of their day. After a few month, publish the sign correspondence for every horoscope you've published and let users calculate the times they matched their sign to the "correct" horoscope. If they all match considerably more than 1/12, you might be onto something.

> All three Molly White, Stephen Diel and Nicolas Weaver have made arguments beyond "cryptocurrencies use a lot of energy".

Even beyond those criticisms, anyone else's counter-examples, arguments are never replied to or several of their tweets are deleted without explanation.

> You cite a couple of sources in your statements but I would like to see these twitter threads where they "have all deliberately been ignoring the eco-friendly cryptocurrencies and technologies for years".

Well I don't seem to find any tweets or sources of direct criticisms by them towards the state-of-the-art cryptocurrency technologies or even their impact on the environment. Perhaps they cannot critique the eco-friendly ones at all or perhaps it is just difficult for them to do so. So it is easier for them to be ignorant and dedicate to only attacking PoW cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum.

> I'm not saying it didn't happen but in these cases it depends on the details because I wouldn't engage in a debate with a laser eyes account whose only talking point it "you forgot about 'eco-friendly" cryptocurrency X".

Well it is only so when one invites themselves to fight an uphill battle against everything as they generalize all cryptocurrencies having the same characteristics Bitcoin, which not only that is not true, but that is a very dangerous assumption to make. [0]

The idea of panspermia isn't a new one. There are several variations.

The very early universe was relatively warm. Simple or even complex life could've evolved and spread through parts of the Universe with relative ease given the much shorter distances. It seems highly unlikely though given the rarity of metals (in the astronomical sense; meaning anything other than hydrogen and helium) and the likely needed timescales. This probably means at best it was organic molecules of some level of complexity.

There are later versions of this where panspermia occurred much more recently, either intentionally or not.

Whatever the case it's all unprovable speculation. If we ultimately the same unlikely patterns repeating on different wrolds then I guess we can revisit.

So how recent in this hypothesis did this occur? There are fossil records for people going back millions of years. Are we talking all life? Or just people? If it's all life then we need to go back billions of years, at which point we're just talking about spreading amino acids. Such a connection will be similar to our fraternal bond with bananas.

> However at some point between the tech to travel between stars and full Dyson spheres

This seems unlikely. Why? Because the tech for a Dyson Swarm is basically stainless steel, solar panels and the ability to build things in space in large quantities. The last one is significant of course but is largely gated on the high cost of getting things into orbit, which is something likely to plummet in the coming centuries.

Saying we could build a self-sustaining orbital within 1,000 years I don't think is a stretch. Only industrial scale separates building 1 and building a million.

But there's another problem: people often neglect the energy cost of interstellar travel. It's... massive. And this is even assuming you solve the reaction mass problem. Interstellar travel almost seems predicated on a Dyson Swarm simpsly to have sufficient energy.

> ... also concerning as a fast growing civilization that contravenes their anti-growth norms.

This is a well-trodden avenue of thought on the Fermi Paradox. What if alien civilizations just stop growing? If there's 1, sure that might be possible. But what if there were 1,000? Would they all follow this path? It gets increasingly unlikely that not one would grow significantly. Non-growth civilizations would be at an extreme disadvantage with another who has vastly more energy and matter at their disposal. Like you almost have to grow just in case someone else does.

But all of this just seems like highly selective curve overfitting to reach the desired conclusion that UFOs are alien in origin.
You're talking past each other, specifically on what it means to "set interest rates".

GP is correct in that the fed funds rate (the one that makes headlines and is used for policy) isn't literally _set_ by fiat: the Fed just intervenes in the interbank money market to ensure it stays in a specified range. It has near unlimited capacity to intervene so the fed funds rate only ever strays a tiny amount outside that range, and even then it's an exceptional circumstance.

On the other hand the parent is correct in that the Fed literally sets a lot of other rates that are used for financial plumbing.

Nickles I'm sure you know this already but I'm trying to clarify so that others don't get confused by an already confusing topic.
This appears to be selling a static analysis tool that rates code on a 1 to 10 scale on a few axes where the assessment criteria are opaque. So on the face of it that's not something developers are going to like.

@john-shaffer if this is your tool can you provide a link to how the various metrics are computed?

edit: FAQ doesn't include the above. It does say the tool requires write access to GitHub repos it analyses.
In my experience, I've never seen that used just because the API is different. There are polyfills for fetch and other things, to align node and the browser. When I've seen that check, it's been entirely because the DOM API was needed. Or fetching was required on the client-side only.
TBH I definitely wouldn't want my employees going around and hacking competitors in their free time. Too much potential liability. I can see giving a star performer a chance if it's their first time doing it and if they'd already come clean about it to the other party, but otherwise I'd probably cut my losses.

It's one thing if it's a designated, well-vetted free for all, like Project Zero, with clear legal approval. It's another thing for a regular employee to be hacking competitors -- that begins to look like industrial espionage. And even GPZ doesn't hack banks.
This is why you leak anonymously and let the wolves take care of it as nature intended.
Your definition of complete failure is something making it to production and catastrophically failing. I would have imagined complete failure in this case as being significant R&D expense with no returns.
So... if a machine authored work can't have copyright .. can it breach a copyright?

A machine trained on disney movies, creates a new Disney movie. Can Disney do anything about it?

I am willing to bet Disney would trace it back to the people running the machine quick smart! In which case - like a typewriter - the people running the machine get the copyright.

As others have mentioned though, with machine assistance one person can now spam every text(huge space but rules for making it readable would narrow it)/image(larger space)/video(even larger) that could exist.

So where is the line drawn?
She, and the assertion is fairly well backed (snarkily, unlike your comment…)
> they just have enough money and culture to escape the label.

Exactly. But isn't that true about everything ? Isn't economic/cultural capital what makes us call someone a Doctor/Sir? An expat/immigrant ?

> is a certain obstinacy to not "go native", to maintain a separatedness from the local culture even after years or decades.

Not exactly, I've met tons of immigrants who never wanted to "go native" as well as several expats who adopted their new culture as theirs.

All of this happens in people's minds and whether they ever end up leaving isn't really in the equation.

Flexport Is Hiring Machine Learning Engineers to Make Global Trade Seamless
Ok, but the way this is exposed is via C so you really have to figure out what it is going to do to use it.
Many of these implementations are needlessly weird and underspecified. C happens to work despite these quirks due to sheer amount of hours everyone puts to work around C's critical but vague notion of an ABI.

The fact that the biggest compilers don't quite agree on the ABI for the most popular desktop CPU is not a success of C's portability or flexibility, just a historical quirk caused by the C language moving slower than evolution of the hardware and needs of operating systems.

Square brackets in go have their own parsing issues (see my original comment). I haven’t found much discussion on how any parsing issues were resolved (presumably any issues needed resolution for backwards compatibility?).

As an outsider it appears to me that the choice for square brackets has been made mostly for stylistic non-technical reasons, but perhaps politically that would be difficult to rationalise to the user-base! Making whitespace significant before comparison/shift operators (matching the gofmt layout) surely solves the stated practical issue of lookahead parsing; although I admit many language geeks would say significant space characters were an ugly solution.

To agree with you: there is a really good discussion on the downsides of <> here —https://lobste.rs/s/fmcviy/language_designers_stop_using_for — certainly square brackets are used for generics in other languages (Scala, Python, Nim, Eiffel).

Regardless, the point is moot, given that the syntax is now concrete!

> then by the same token <> is also easy to confuse with comparison operators

Not really, given that comparison/shift operators are not used in types, whereas [] is used in types. Perhaps go-lang wanted to reserve angle brackets for constraint operators a la Scala <: et al. </wink>.

Disclaimer: I have little experience with generics or language design. I am just very curious if there is a divergence between the stated reasons for the design, versus any unstated reasons.
Deno is just a javascript runtime and standard library, so in theory you can already use coffeescript.

Do you perform model accuracy metrics on this data and provide it back to the customer? One thing I've noticed about a lot of enterprise low/no code ML platforms (dialogflow, I'm looking at you) is that they give you everything you need to train the models, but nothing to evaluate them. Always seemed like an 'all the rope you need to hang yourself' kind of situation, come crawling back for consultants when you need us. Instead of just giving users the tools they need to calibrate models themselves. Would love to hear about this functionality in your product.

The problem with simulation theory, to me, is that everyone seems to believe it implies our universe is literal software running on a literal computer as we understand it, because that's what was portrayed in the Matrix. No one ever seems to think outside of that box. If the universe is simulated, then the nature of the simulation is going to be something beyond our comprehension, some higher-dimensional mind-shattering Lovecraftian construct which emits not a simulation in code which somehow interprets itself as reality, but actual physical reality. What it's not going to be is just a big Unity game where you can noclip out of the map or something.

On the plus side, there is simply no mathematical calculation that could lead to russia wining against the west - east eu nato members included - if there is political will and unity.
