> There are important language features missing from C (and C++) that make it impossible to implement a Rust-style mutex API with the same guarantees

I've done some experimenting here, and I think it is possible to add a borrow checker to a C or C++ -like language, like the author hints. It couldn't be like Rust's borrow checker, it would just need to be a borrow checker that operates on a "per region" basis, where everything inside the mutex is one region and everything outside is another.

I wrote a little bit about this idea for the Vale language in [0] and then realized shortly afterward that the idea can be used to add fearless concurrency to any existing language.

When you do mental arithmetic, say 48 added to 73, do you visualize 48 objects and 73 objects and then count them? Do you visualize a page like a 1st grade arithmetic homework sheet and draw out the numbers with a mental pencil and do all the carrying by mental hand? Or do you “just” add them and end up with 121 in your head?
One issue with this is that there's no obligation to keep the license on it-- which means that the entire disclaimer and lack of warranty can get sheared off the software.

Then in turn downstream users can legitimately obtain it without knowing that you're attempting to disclaim liability.
They are pretty top notch though- and also in a different field rather than ads - that alone makes them innovators. Also, doesn't Karpathy work at Tesla?

Ask HN: What are some of the under-rated API documents on the web?
There are some well known api docs such as that of Stripe, Plaid, Twilio, etc. I believe there are some open source API docs too which can be used for inspiration.
Is this going to be open source with a paid tier?
Oh I actually only think it's useful for machine learning. I have some unpublished, crudely done research showing that the extended accumulator is only necessary for the Kronecker delta stage of the back propagation (posits trivially convert to higher precision by zero-padding).. you can see what I'm talking about I'm the Stanford video.

Fun fact: John sometimes claims he invented the name, but this is untrue; my old college website talks about building "positronic brains" and it's long been a goal of mine to somehow "retcon" Asimov/tng data, into being a real thing, and when this opportunity for some clever wordsmithing arrived I coined the term with the hopes that someone would make a posit-based perceptron, or "positron".
Seems about right, their strategy is pay AI people a lot of money to drain the market and prevent innovation - it kinda sucks.
Great article indeed.

Are you saying "It's not a bug, it's a feature"? Because that's rude.
"wifi access point conversely is 1/10th of a watt 30 meters away."

Not in the US I guess? Also 30m is a massive house. In the US routers are 1W (although I believe many could reduce it per device with the newer tech, but many still have set limits; although this is also true of the 2W you mention for cell).

"You are underestimating how low energy your wifi is and how much the difference the distance makes."

My house is not 30m in any dimension. Probably about 5m router to bed, and that's one of the longest distance in the house. I don't think I am overestimating router power for my region. US limits are about 10x higher than Europe for wifi, while i believe Europe is about .4W higher for cell tx allowance.

You mention power and distance. What about time for cumulative exposure?

"15cm away"

I think this is underestimating speaker phone usage. Usually I keep it .75-1m away from me. 15cm is very close and not even worth using at that distance.

"I'm talking about the logical inconsistency of scheduling wifi to avoid exposure."

Not avoid, but reduce. The biggest point,since you brought up logic: baseline-5mW < baseline. There is a quantifiable reduction, at no cost (in my experience/situation, since I'm not using it at that time). Eliminating cell usage would require a cost (in my situation). So I accept that exposure with mitigating factors, like speaker phone and not sleeping with it next to my head. Likewise, I am a ham and except that exposure with mitigating factors (ground planes to limit RF back into the house, typically 1W but always QRP, and compared to cell phones it's about 1/2 the RF since isn't not full duplex), even though I don't use it very often.
Sure, but once they're destroyed, you're irretrievably fucked and so is everything that was inside. You can endure a fair level of damage on a regular airbase.
I doubt it would have to be used that much, and results are questionable and even malicious at times. So, not sure if that makes people working at AI at Facebook that great...
I’ve been searching for a lot of info on a game recently (Eldenring). There’s actually a good wiki with well organized entries, but the results on bing/google are all stolen blog spam. I have to manually specify the wiki in the search to find anything reasonable.

Tonal | Android, Go backend, more | SF, NYC, Toronto, Austin, LA https://www.tonal.com/
Tonal is the world's smartest home gym. It's a single device that mounts to your wall, has a giant screen (powered by Android), and uses an electromagnetic motor to provide up to 200lbs of resistance. It's genuinely one of the most incredible new consumer products on sale today. It works phenomenally well and we're just beginning to tap into the full potential of the hardware.

We're an engineer-founded company so strong engineering is at the roots of everything we do. I'm the engineering manager for the Android team. We work on everything you would touch and interact with on Tonal's screen.

I personally exclusively work out on Tonal and I'm stronger than I have ever been before. It's truly incredible what it's capable of.

We're hiring passionate product-minded Android engineers as well as nearly every other discipline (backend, data science, computer vision, dev ops, media streaming, iOS, Flutter (for our mobile app), and more).

This is pure fantasy. Minimum wage in the US is 2-10x what it is in low cost regions. Not even touching regulations. US experts travel to those regions to hand-hold every step necessary in order to make any product not forced to be built in the US by taxes or regulation. I did this for years and I hate it. I have worked for years in both American and foreign factories and I can assure you that they can automate just as well so there is no hope without government intervention in the form of tariffs. US labor currently competes on a global market.
It would be interesting to known why a standard boring RDS setup wouldn’t solve their problem completely. In fact I would be more interested to understand that than the actual details of sqlite tailing.

(I think the reason they gave was vendor lock-in, but apart from that, I didn’t understand why it wouldn’t be adequate)
(Author of Orgro here)

Orgro displays the file as "rich" text, so it is not a "hard-coded" UI; it's much closer to viewing the file as you would in Emacs.

That said, it is definitely lacking compared to Emacs: it's a viewer only and mostly doesn't interpret the file contents; you can't execute code blocks, etc.
If you're familiar with how the hidden bit works for IEEE floating point, use a hidden '10' in front of the fraction for negative numbers for posits and suddenly a whole bunch of math falls out. This is equivalent to having the fraction be added to a -2 value which pins the 'overall value' of the fraction to be between -1 and -2, (like how for positive values the hidden bit is 1 and the 'overall value' of the fraction is pinned to between 1 and 2).
Me too. If I wear a simple blue button down, there’s a 100% chance it gets commented on. And I work full time remote…

I feel like if I wore that to a software engineering interview I’d run the risk of being judged as just not really getting the culture.

Slim.AI | Fullstack and Backend Engineers | REMOTE, international or Seattle/Bellevue/WA | Full-time | Golang, Node.js, Vue.js/Nuxt.js

I'm the founder and CTO at Slim.AI. I created DockerSlim as a hackathon project and it turned into a journey to redefine how DevOps is done for devs building cloudnative apps. We are still early stage, but we are fortunate enough to have 40M+ to support our mission.

Our engineering team is the innovation engine for our product because we are building a solution to solve our own problems creating and running containerized cloud-native applications.

We use Golang, Node.js Serverless/Lambda and containers. We have technical writer, frontend, backend and fullstack roles ( https://github.com/slim-ai/engineering ).

Our Interview Process:

We don't do Leetcode or the usual trivia-based puzzles and whiteboarding interviews. We customize the interview process based on the candidates and their background to make sure we get to learn as much possible and to see how working together can be mutually beneficial.

Our Engineering Principles:

* We use what we build.

* We share a common cloud-native mindset and a platform thinking DNA.

* We create stage appropriate designs that can evolve and that can be thrown away when necessary.

* We optimize for evolvable architecture building an extensible and composable system with disposable components using an API first approach.

* We optimize our designs for people first and machines second.

* We care about the entire system we are building considering the needs of our teammates and the impact of the design decisions we make.

* We learn together.

* We share knowledge and give back to the tech community.

* We have a written down and transparent culture that enables our remote first asynchronous approach to engineering.

* We have a lightweight engineering process based on trust, self-alignment and visibility.

Email me at cto@slim.ai if you'd like to learn more.

P.S.

Take a look at DockerSlim ( https://github.com/docker-slim/docker-slim ) if you are interested in working on the open source project that powers our SaaS.
Remote available? I have a Tonal for just over a year and love it.
They aren't top notch, though. And while they are a different field than ads, even in a list of top self-driving AI companies they'd only make it on if the list were quite long. Karpathy is fine and writes (or at least used to write) some interesting things, but he's far away from single-handedly turning them into a top-AI contender (I mean, if one person could single-handedly do that, he'd be far down that list of people).

Haven't actually checked, but this looks very similar.
Population isn’t static. We need housing supply to be responsive to changes in demographics and preferences.

If the towns no one wanted to live in anymore were 100% occupied, that would be very bad! It would mean more people were stuck.

If the cities people want to live in were 100% occupied, that would also be very bad! It would mean there’s no such thing as a move-in ready home to terminate your search. You’d only be able to move by swapping with someone, or else everyone in the connected component of moves would need to move on the same day (some cities actually used to do that).

In general, vacancy is good for buyers and tenants; it gives them both liquidity and leverage over sellers and landlords.

"Levels of PM2.5 were measured before, during, and after 8 cannabis social-smoking sessions in one 20-m2 household living room"

I can't imagine malware authors being excessively concerned about their malware being non-compliant with open source licenses.
I think that's not really an issue for the intended use case: "code that is intended for developers to use as reference, teaching samples, examples, or templates that other developers may modify for their own purposes."

Consider some libfoo, and in libfoo you include example.mylang as a "quickstart" for the common use case, and many people use this as a starting point, modifying it a bit to suit their needs but not much. Technically you should attribute this file/function/class too, but in practice no one does, and no one really cares either.

I've had people ask me to put a license on 2-line Stack Overflow licenses (it's already CC-BY, but people still ask for some reason, I guess to comply with company legal dept.)

It's useful for stuff like that: you typically don't really care what someone does with your fairly simple examples/demos/etc. (which may not even meet the threshold of originality to apply for copyright protection) and whether they attribute it.
And that's exactly why it's so important right now! (imo) I thought the same, until I started being more vocal about my support and realized it's more complex and most people on either sides are actually willing to have a healthy discussion around it. I havn't been called any harsh words or anything. I think there are a vocal group (on both sides) that I don't fully agree with of course (but I understand their views)

Edit: I wanted to add. It might be a bit different in the USA. I'm not super connected with that part of it, I just know it's also going on there (as well as worldwide). I don't follow US politics heavily. In Canada I don't think the Freedom stuff is as politicised, altho it still is to some extent. I get the hesitation of "aligning" with trumpers, but that's not what this is about at all (altho it seems some people want to make it seem that way, for whatever reason). I would say people on the right do tend to also be in support of this movement but at the last protests I went to in Canada most of who I met were a mixture of left and right, vaxxed and not, etc. Freedom movement is a superset that contains many disperse groups of people, cultures, and even other movements like imo the web3 movement, free software movement (stallman), privacy movement, and things like that. At least that's how i'm approaching it for now until I have a better term that umbrellas all these that I can refer to ;p
Huh, but while I want my search results to work as well as the did in 2001, why does the website need to look like it was from then (at least on Firefox on Android)?

I think my problem with futurism in general, and AI futurism in particular, is that they are often huge predictions made far into the future, and consequently nobody can be held accountable for making them.

None of us will be alive in 100 years to say "I admit it, you were right", or "that was another laughably incorrect prediction about AGI".

I would love to see some smaller-scale, shorter term predictions about AI. What will the field look like in, say, 3 years? 10 years?

It should be easier to predict the near term, but near term predictions are so much rarer than far future ones. It makes me think that maybe they're appealing because you can't suffer consequences for being wrong about them.
I agree with everything you've written, but to be clear, I don't think a reasonable version of the "fire fast" mentality means you throw people in the deep end with no support and then can them at the earliest moment if they struggle.

But I do think it means that when it becomes clear that it's not working out, and the reason for it not working out is pretty fundamental to the employee's personality or aptitude, that you make a decision to let them go quickly and fairly.

Autistic people have gifts and personalities just like everyone else does. People I know often have found a diagnosis liberating because they can often then identify the ways that being autistic has caused them friction with non-autistic society. If nothing else, they can find tools to help them work better in their environments. But they can also work to shape the world around them to be more accessible to autistic people like themselves. And that allows them to better use their gifts and express their personalities.

The parent comment discussed communities of people who have similar struggles. I don't think they meant that the struggle is also the gift (people can make something beautiful out of their pain, but I don't think the pain itself is something to be celebrated). I think they meant that people in a community brought together by a common struggle are better able to see the uniqueness in each other, because within the community the struggle is not what defines them.
