> Is it possible to create a truly safe language without the dizzying complexity?

In Rust the complexity comes from elsewhere (eg rejecting GC), there are lots of easier languages that match the safety.

Rust is not really the paragon of safety, its guarantees are similar to easy languages like F# or even Java. And behind Ada.
TikTok is paying their ISP, that's who you'd look at to fund upgrades to the interconnect. Wanting to charge TikTok or the users of TikTok is just looking for a way to double dip. Or, more likely, a way for them to deprioritize YouTube TV so their own streaming live TV service looks better.
For me as well, in the last years of Gymnasium they didn't control homework or even attendance much. I missed many classes in the last 2-3 years, because I preferred to stay at home and get some sleep or whatever. Or maybe it is more that I missed most classes by sleeping in class. Memories are hazy at this point. Which could be one reason that I've started to have these dreams where I notice I didn't attend this particular class all year and it's too late.
Contracting is lose-lose. Companies have economy of scale. If you're a developer, you lose out having to play games with negotiations and juggling cashflows for late payments. If you are an employer, a contractor costs more and is less reliable.

But in practice, it works out because markets are inefficient.

Say, you have a block of work that is valued at $100k. You can hire a person for $150k/year and hope you get more blocks of work worth $300k or whatever later. Or you can budget around $60k to get this work done in 2 months. The contract option is easier to manage.

A full time job is basically a bulk discount. You are guaranteed money even if there is no extra work, and you don't have to juggle bills.

I think companies like Toptal do a really good job of playing into this arbitrage.
I'm convinced that the only good documentation is generated from code or config, and has a source which is necessary for the system to run.

A tool that tells you who commits most frequently to a service or file is better than an outdated yaml file with an owner. A firewall that won't let your service make outgoing requests unless you list its dependencies is better than a manual list of dependencies. An API doc compiled from the type definition of your API or from a schema which requests are validated against is better than a manual API definition.
> there aren’t really any games on the horizon that requires the 4090’s sheer power

but with things like stable-diffusion, such a card might have other uses other than games. For example, live paint-ins for photoshop, and other tidbits that are currently not realistically possible for the consumer.
there was a brief period of time when mobile OSs were shitty but plenty.

Android made a two-player competition better, but it did so at the expenses of other competing OSs which could not gains foothold.

It's practically the story of BeOS vs Windows.
Yes they ban foreign companies. All companies need a Chinese partnership to enter China.

Eg. Azure needs to let someone else handle the infrastructure there. The only exclusion i know of ( i think) is Tesla, because China is very interested in it's tech and for it's goal of EV dominance.
100MB is a LOT. Do you perhaps mean 100KB?

Streamlit is the framework I used to build the app at the bottom of the article with. It does unfortunately load a decent amount of JS. However it should be non-blocking, which means it won't interfere with how quickly you can see or use the page.

It pings back to Streamlit to keep your session state alive as it's running a whole Python interpreter on the backend for each session.

The speed index for this page hovers between 1-2 seconds when I test it.
Notice oncoming traffic is also on the right? It's UK traffic. For peace of mind, try tossing a `transform: scaleX(-1)` on the <canvas /> element.
I think they are useful for a niche. At work we have a bunch of ‘excel’ apps for handling internal work. It’s really a mess and they frequently break down. Some are just CRUD interfaces for a database. For these things I really think something like this could be useful. Management wouldn’t have to force it on me.

You don’t really run into issues because they never get more complicated then store this data into that. Or if this, show that. And if they do full re-write in real code.
Multi-gpu setups for gaming are dead.

Multi-gpu setups for computation could have two SKUs one "motherboard" SKU and one connectorized SKU with the connector NOT being PCIe (after a transition).

They already do multi-form-factor, PCIe and OAM for AMD, PCIe and SXM for Nvidia.

Just drop PCIe, have a large motherboard SKU with a CPU slot and some OAM/SXM connectors in quantities up to what a wall socket can supply in terms of wattage (so, like 1 or 2 lol).

Vestigial PCIe cards can hang off the CPU card, if they're even needed.

High speed networking and storage is already moving to the DPU so these big GPUs, unhindered by the PCIe form-factor, could just integrate some DPU cores like they do RT cores, and integrate high speed networking and storage controllers into the GPU.

Home user? You get 1 or 2 DPU cores for NVMe and 10-gig Ethernet. Datacenter? 64 DPU cores for 100-gig and storage acceleration. Easy-peasy.
I am so thankful that I do not dream. I’d hate to have my sleep disturbed by memories of school!

> I don't know if everyone but me is colorblind or what

Possibly. In most blind tests, for shots straight out of the camera, people prefer the Google Pixel photos to iPhone photos. Professionals complain that google over-amps the HDR, but consumers prefer that. Apple may have better codecs, but Google has better software post-processing.

iPhone still wins in video though.
I think it has more to do with the "mode" in which a child brain is, absorbing and learning durably. I can look at a class photo from 30 years ago and name all the kids I was with. I will struggle with colleagues I worked with 5 years ago. I think that's why the stress and trauma you live through as a child follows you all your life the way an experience as an adult might not.

BTW, while we may think that driving is a universal thing, I instantly found it amazing how North American this is. From the integrated indicators, to cars passing on your right, to the road lights and even how the road undulates. Having said that, great project!

Edit: Well I got this entirely wrong and missed that this was meant to be lefthand traffic. (I caught a segment that looked more like there was an independent road passing an interstate crossing a city, rather than being opposite lanes.)
You have said several times, "there is no regulation in cryto". If you know that this statement is not true, then why do you say it? Just say that there are many instances where lack of regulation has lead to bad results. I agree with that.
How does that work if anyone actually reads the publications? They'll have the journal name and probably current institution of the authors, right?

Am I being naive with the question? Is reading the publications unusual?
Most cars (and car batteries) are idle for 22+ hours a day. Mass transit isn’t the only optimization. We could gain efficiencies by making better use of the cars that are already sitting on our city streets through automation and on-demand car sharing.

global state is often necessary. Abusing it is always possible, but every startup-sized application footprint I've ever been in we eventually have to add an exception to the no-globals linting rule for some very legitimate reason in some specific place.

The crate ecosystem (oncecell, lazystatic) lets you completely sidestep this limitation for now anyway before better const behavior eventually gets added to stable
Erm, the cars are driving on the left (red taillights on left side of motorway, white headlights on right)... wouldn't North America be the other way around, with cars overtaking on the left?
It's possible that if you changed from translating the code to prose by hand and translating it with the tool, you would find that the "value" of that translation would be reduced. Basically, I think reading the code and mentally analyzing it enough to write to prose is doing most of the work, and when you read the prose, it's only a reminder for the deeper analysis you've done in your head.
> I never confirmed one way or the other, but I'm fairly positive evolution operates by large sudden changes followed by incremental improvements/optimizations

This is basically the theory of punctuated equilibrium as proposed by Stephen Jay Gould to the commonly held thought at the time of gradualism.
It increases complexity if the state is intrinsically global. Hardware resources, for example, which are commonly directly managed in systems code, are intrinsically global state. You can't allocate another hard drive or physical network interface. I've seen impressively convoluted code that existed solely to pretend that global state isn't actually global state, because that was seen as bad, even though it behaved exactly like global state.
You mean of the cops who died the majority tested positive. Very different than saying more cops were killed because of Covid than anything else. It’s entirely plausible that lots of cops would test positive for Covid… they interact with the public just like service workers, nurses and teachers…
I think it's from the UK or somewhere else that they drive on the left. Opposing traffic is on the right.
That's what I thought after the first stream since it was April 1st. But after a while, I don't think so. Then again, who cares - let's enjoy the show :-) For the kernel contribution issue, we'll see. If you can reverse engineer a GPU, you can figure out a solution to that issue too.
Does it mean they can't use ICBM? That's sound like an advantage to avoid self destruction.

Shen Yu (禹) is not Shen Yun (韻)...
I cheated my way through high school. I had a scam for every class, every test, every homework assignment. So yeah, I had dreams about school, but mine were more about me feeling guilty. They typically went like this: Some bureaucrat did an audit of all the school work from my high school during the late-80s and somehow identified me as a cheater, so the school revoked my diploma. My college found out, so they revoked my degree. My employer found out, so they fired me. The dream usually ended with all the other kids from my school laughing at me because I got caught cheating, and my life was ruined.

I eventually got over it. The dreams stopped. Once I got to a certain age, I just accepted I was a stupid-ass kid who made mistakes. Live and learn.

BTW, if you're still in school, don't cheat. Take it from me. I spent more time and effort on cheating than I would have if I just did the work as assigned.

As a library author a big aha moment for me was being able to write proc macros. There are so many creative (and simple to implement) ways of getting around certain limitations when you can just do some smart code-gen. I think a lot of people get overwhelmed by the limitations before considering what the world of proc macros has to offer.
In high school I was trying to make an app to scrape my grading system Skyward and ended up finding a trivial auth bypass that let me see anyones grades. Knew the school would turn me into a villain if I was discovered even though I was on student council and an honor student so I emailed the principal and got a meeting with him. For some unknown reason my poc didn't work in the meeting so during the meeting I found a second auth bypass. They paid me $75 for finding the issue and told me to try to hack the teachers side of the system next. Lots more to the story if anyones interested.
I really like Noam Chomsky, though lately it's not very enjoyable to see him on video form as it was in the past simply because he is just so old so he takes forever to talk. But it's clear that his mind is still exceptionally sharp. So I really enjoy the written form.

With regards to the topic, I think one of Chomsky's best qualities is how he is able to abstract from the dominant narrative and looks at things with a more critical eye, something we could all benefit from doing. Although passions runs wild, politics at this scale do not usually run on passion but instead they are made in cold-blood in order to do advance one's interests the best way. This way, if as an analyst you also abstract then you will be able to see details that others might not.

So it is not, at all, strange to ask about what are the interests of all the parties involved. From Ukraine, to Russia and of course to the USA and the consequences of pursuing such interests. As much as we might hate it, the lives of people are insignificant in the face of a country's interests which tend to be much more abstract and long-lived.

I think overall this was a really interesting analysis, thanks for posting it.
I find it very peculiar that the state department was not notified until 1976. Something more must have been going on behind the scenes that the security services didn't quite want bubbling up yet.
Isn't this left hand traffic though? As in, not what you'd find in America? It feels very Swedish to me, except for the traffic direction.
I don't know if I'm saying, just "build your own if you don't like it". More, if you don't like it, don't use it (eg: if you don't like Arby's, don't go there). Though, I do concede that these platforms/apps/companies are very monopoly-like and that certainly creates its own gravitational pull and challenges to competitors.

Do you have any references for further information about how the government supported Facebook? If Facebook received some support from the government, does that make their platform a public square? What would that threshold be?

I'm really suggesting that "open to the public" does not mean "public". Hence, while anyone can sign on to 'Facebook', the nature that they pay for their servers, to develop software, have a business model, etc.. does not make it a public square even if it might feel like that at times (it's a private corporation, which means nobody has a first amendment right to do whatever they want with that software - there actually is no freedom of expression in the US, just freedom from government persecution to express what you want - that is what is written in the constitution)

> Governments are at their best when they are paternalistic, that's why we have seatbelts, no lead in gasoline etc.

The same paternalism has justified poisoning one's own people in a "war" against alcohol, dictated who was allowed to have sex with whom in privacy of their own home, and resulted in human experimentation for the supposed betterment of society.
as a library user, I dread proc macros since they are often associated with slow, long compile times.
Great response, thank you.

To add, I’m down to talk to about governmental overreach if we can rationally prioritize issues. Gp seems to prioritize absolutist gun rights. I’m keen to consider extrajudicial murder, extrajudicial armed robbery by police, the separation of church and state, or the Supreme courts usurpation by the federalist society - before I think it’s worth discussing the loosening of gun rights in this country that has more gun involved MCEs (military conflicts excluded) than every other country combined.

As I’ve strayed a bit from the topic I’ll bring my point back by saying; sure there’s issues worth complaining about in almost every us regulatory process, but let’s prioritize by how many lives we can improve instead of lesser reasons that are used as a fundraising platform by the minority political party without regard for the trail of destruction their reckless policies engender.
I have literally never dreamed about school... and i have extremely lucid dreams and an incredible memory of my dreams, to the point where I have had a running theme of dreams that only occur once every ~5 years.. but i can be conscious of them recurring and recognize im dreaming it again and even the story lines...

> let's say TikTok, hogs all the bandwidth without paying their fair share.

I’m biased in that I work at a company that uses a lot of bandwidth. My opinions are my own.

Companies like TikTok pay their fair share. They pay their provider to take their bytes. Their provider pays one of the “big pipe” companies and passes the bytes along. Then they pass it along and charge your bro’s company. Then your bro’s company passes it along and chargers the consumer. This is oversimplified, but it’s the general flow.

What your bro wants to do is skip the line. It’s not enough to charge consumers, he wants to charge the companies, or the consumers more depending on the company.

It’s like UPS opening up your package, seeing there are Nikes in there and wanting to charge either you or Nike extra. You’re already paying for delivery.

Why should it be more acceptable, exactly? This is not even about sexual education, it is literally illegal to explain to those kids that sometimes a man and a woman love each other, and sometimes two men or two women do the same. Of course, the first part will never be enforced, but the second and third clearly will.

There is no age at which it is inappropriate to listen about these extremely basic facts of the world.

This reminds me of an essay I just read on the OODA loop (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act). There was a highly detailed example on how a fighter pilot uses this method.

But, what if I said 'in my example this works well for 0.00027% of the population' (just air-force pilots, fighter pilots would be way less less), should you try and do what they do to achieve the same result?

Long ago, there was a company that claimed to have a way of growing a "bipoloron chain" that wasn't superconducting, but was 10^6 times (or more) as conductive as copper or silver. They called it an "ultraconductor"[1]. I give it 50/50 odds of being a scam.

I've always wondered if there could be something to this, and now it sounds like there might be. I have no way to judge the merits of it personally, I just keep my eye out for things that indicate it might have been real.

Also, there's this patent[2] from 3 years ago that might have been using strain to make a superconductor that previously wasn't.

For sure. That's interesting, thank you for sharing. In Rust an Arc<T>, the equivalent to shared_ptr, would also require a single contiguous allocation, because it's size is the size of T plus the size of the Arc's internal state. But I must be missing something because C++ has had templates since more then a decade before Rust 1.0 released. I suspect the difference is in how object lifetimes are handled & Rust's lack of a language-level concept of a constructor or a new keyword.

Skimming the source code for Arc<T>, it looks like T will likely be on the stack & copied to the heap, adding a copy C++ is probably able to avoid with it's strategy, but I'm not sure if the compiler is able to optimize that out or not.

Not that I’ve had either phone but I would say you’re likely in the minority. I have the iPhone 12 and have always been happy with the iPhone cameras. It’s not like it even comes close to my DSLR but they’re decent for phones. I haven’t had a lot of Androids either but all of the ones I owned had terrible cameras.
