I think any language that has the concept of storage classes will be complicated because you have to deal with copy versus move vs borrow semantics. Other languages get around this by just saying that primitives are on the frame and everything else is on the heap.

Efficiency has its price.
There are fabric backplane solutions such as fibre channel and microtca (leverages pcie or ethernet).

There's no reason you can't get benefits from a fabric over point-to-point today, it's just big and expensive.
I said near, we still have some breathing room. But as noted elsewhere, 15 A is a max for short periods, the practical limit for continuous use is more like 1200-1400 W which definitely seems like it might be plausible soon.

Plus other things on the circuit. Fancy ultra bright HDR monitors use a decent chunk of power, and anything else.
I'm curious why you think it's too big to master. There's certainly a lot to the language, but it's design means that these various facets are largely contained to their area of effect. I'd be confident in the assertion that most rust developers don't need to understand much more than the basics of the type system, traits, lifetimes, and the surface levels of async.

The biggest benefit to the language is precisely that all the Lego pieces fit together and you simply don't need to worry about (in Lego parlance) "illegal moves". Whenever I write C or C++, I'm constantly worrying about whether or not I'm doing something incorrectly and potentially writing dangerous code. In rust, this mostly disappears and you can focus on the actual problem domain you're working in rather than computer science problems.
Why Are Americans Getting Unhappier?
I could not disagree more.

The moment you need to do something remarkably simple, such as string concatenation, you are confronted with the reality that Rust is a much lower level language.
> and specious is a great word :)

Lol, it is. :)

> Strawman argument then?

How about I rephrase, "Does 24-hour news have similar effects on viewers as this study shows social media has on kids, despite not being interactive?"

Yeah, I see your point. Apples and oranges. Still interested in that study.
> In the meantime I'd love to see a truly non-partisan, fact based, recognizing limits of human knowledge postmortem of the US response and how it could have been improved,

I share your sentiment, but I won't be holding my breadth. I'm afraid we don't have any existing organizational structure that can produce something like that, and thus I suspect something like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogers_Commission_Report for the pandemic would be necessary, yet it's probably too soon to start one since the pandemic isn't quite "over" enough yet.

Even then, we'd need someone like Feynman in the committee, and that's far from guaranteed.
That said, no doubt we'll get an endless stream of research studies and books going forward on this topic from multiple angles in the decades ahead.
It's steeper than Haskell?
That's mentioned in the article:

> A super-Earth is any rocky planet that is bigger than Earth and smaller than Neptune.

If you read further in the article, it explains why super-Earths are a good target to look at for extraterrestrial life.
Redwood Materials is currently recycling lithium batteries and getting a return rate above 80% on lithium and over 95% on nickel, cobalt and copper. Their processses, even at this very small scale, are less costly and less energy intensive than raw materials mining. And of course far less destructive to ecosystems.

And this is early days. These are already fantastic numbers but it is highly probable that innovation and scaling will improve them still further.

It's particularly exciting to see rare metals like cobalt so highly recyclable. As newer batteries require much less cobalt than older batteries, the need for virgin cobalt mining could be slashed or eliminated within a decade or two.
UW-Madison is a research powerhouse.
I have four teenage sons. "treating them as equals" is super, duper silly. Their brains are totally, completely not regulated enough to make good decisions still, and that only changes usually VERY close to graduation.
And... the worst part is that you have to report to 5 ~ 6 "bosses" of whom, would assign homework as if they are student's only boss.
In Chile the stance hasn't changed much with the new government, some tweaks are being made to take more profits through additional taxes/royalties but for now that's about it. In the last decade several laws have passed which require mining operations to use less water and use renewable energy for their operation.

Touching mining would be suicide, it's 20% of the GDP. Chile is the most advanced country in South America because of mining, just like the oil countries.

We better take that money while it lasts and invest it wisely.

The proposed constitution could have been a big blow to the sector, for now it didn't get approved so we will have to see what happens in the future. This uncertainty isn't good for foreign investment, we can only hope that the government gets their act together.

By the way, I would argue that copper mining is far more destructive than Lithium mining.

Also, South Asian numbers tend to be slightly higher simply due to our community's bias towards living in cities with a strong community presence.

And coming from my lived experience as a Punjabi North American, our best and brightest ain't coming to Canada - it's a backup option. Go to Sector 17 in Chandigarh or the Jalandhar Bus Depot, and you'll see rows upon rows of IELTS coaching centers and immigration coaches that'll help you find a way to get fudged work documents or high school diplomas for 3-4 Lakh or help get you asylum documents. If you were good enough in Punjab to get into a medical program, accounting program, or engineering program you'd move to Delhi or Chandigarh to work. If you're some loser numbskull who failed high school or didn't get into a half decent college, you take the Kaneda route.
Doesn't that just move the trust to the key authority?
As I understand it Rust is composed of 5 or 6 sub languages.

I find it hard to believe that there's no way to get the benefits of Rust without 5 languages.

Why can't a programming language be one language that does everything it needs to do? Seems crazy to me to have 5 or 6 sublanguages.
I'm gonna get downvoted to hell, but watch the doc, The Phenomenon. It's pretty damn convincing.

As you said, yeah it's a leap of faith without (at least publicly available) empirical evidence, but who cares. It's fun thinking about the possibilities of others out there, interacting, and sharing with them. Even better if they share their tech so we can travel distances off and away from this crumbling rock.

In any case, I believe we've already been contacted, at least since nuke testing, and that the US andnother govs have recovered craft that are handled by contractors. Watch the doc. It's not woo woo crap. I mean Harry Reid is in it and he implies a lot to say thr least.

Well when comparing Hitler, Mao, and Stalin, I don't really see any significant degree of difference...

If you're talking about what modern Americans consider "left" and "right", though, I'd agree, but what Americans consider "left" generally isn't very far left, and it depends on who you ask: talk to an internationally-minded American and they'll say the Democratic party is centrist at best, or center-right. Talk to a Trump voter and they'll say that party is "far-left radical communists".
In my honest opinion, lifetimes should be hand waved until you've played with the rest of the language. By then it'll follow as naturally as your first lesson on OOP.
I think the Chinese have something to teach us.

Basically, once a social network surpasses say, 20M users, it becomes a defacto political entity, with the power to move elections. Given this immense power, the government should regulate accordingly.

Instead of passing detailed regulations though, I am of the opinion that if a company passes 200B USD in enterprise value, that Congress should get the right to appoint 50% of the board of directors. This way, the company's responsibilities match its defacto political power to sway elections.

Basically, make Facebook into an Amtrak or USPS. If Facebook does not like this idea, then they can split the company into pieces.

Additional benefit: this functions also as anti-trust regulation. Amazon would be subject to this as well.
5-10 years ago I was worried about a cliff for 80's car chips. Turns out, we can buy cheap programmable boards and write our own "native" solutions.

My current project is mapping out 80's HELLA cruise control units. They have just a few inputs and variables. Speed, brake signal, pump, clutch signal, and on mine, an additional signal to the APC to show it is engaged (to limit boost). Really, I think I'll be able to make this work - hopefully smoothly!

EDIT: these were in Saabs, but also other manufacturers like Land Cruiser and I think BMW as well. HELLA sold these as OES for these vehicles.
> So long as the children survive to give birth to more children

Big if. In a true famine, the poor usually die first.

> Evolution doesn't care for the comfort of anyone.

Evolution cares about sexual desireability and fitness. Rich people usually have more.

In nature we see these two strategies as well. Some species try and have as many babies as possible, where others have fewer but concentrate resources to make sure the few are more likely to survive. Neither strategy is optimal in all situations.
Yes. I'm a idiot and I wrote it wrong.
I've tried Free42, but never really warmed to it. More comfortable on the 48/49/50.

That's pretty much delegated to an iOS app now, but mostly because of the backlight. The display is simply better. The keyboard not so much (being a touch screen), but win some, lose some.

I certainly like the programming model of the 48 series over the 42. RPL is a really delightful language and environment to work with on device.

I never did much off device work, but coded up a bunch of stuff back in the day on the calculator itself. REPL development doesn't get much purer than this. Along with a stepping facility, and trivial unit testing, it makes developing stuff a real treat.

I can honestly say there's nothing easier to work on when lying in bed.

There should be a mandatory SAT style test that you take after graduation. With nothing on the line for the individual, but everything on the line for the school to prove they actually taught you something.

It would obviously need to be catered to each major. And it won’t exactly align with any one school’s curriculum, but it’d be great to see actual stats of who knows what after graduation across thousands of students.

Thinking about this a bit more, this is something the government could definitely do. Have schools submit students to these tests as a condition of receiving federal funding. Any student that graduates that doesn’t take the test counts as a zero for the schools numerator but still a one for the denominator.
Can you find any article anywhere which quantifies the magnitude of the Cantillon effect because I certainly have looked and found absolutely nothing.

Crypto is hardly inflation-proof, with major cryptos having fallen 80% or more in the last 6 months putting it on pace with the Lira - if you then adjust it for inflation you lose another 10%. It's somehow managed to do all that in the single most inflationary period in 50+ years. I was pretty sure we'd given up on that silly narrative. Crypto is a high-beta speculative play on US dollar liquidity in the global financial system, not a hedge on inflation.

Wanna save money from inflation? Buy some I-bonds.

So uh, zoom back in ;)

[edit] Also, liquidity per (as defined by the size of the Fed's asset book) se isn't really correlated with asset prices, which is why we're doing interest rates. I recommend listening to the Odd Lots podcast with Kashkari in re: inflation.

There’s an accompanying paper as well. It’s mostly about India but he does go into the branch of indo europeans that went off into Europe as well.

Something along the lines of 90% of the male population was killed off in Eastern Europe, Germany, and most Northern European places. It was something like 75% of the male population killed off in Italy, Spain etc.
I can imagine a very similar argument being made for punch cards.
I love that alignment description, that reminds me of what it was like when I was at Microsoft. Fancy VPs always did unclear things. Above them in my chain was some kind of president who had no clear role either.
And there were cases of couples on that ship locked in the same cabin with one person infected and the other not infected. Somehow some people had natural immunity, and this was not discussed or considered when the "everyone vax" messaging started.
I will one up your anecdata with another anecdata. I was at a work retreat in the bay area about two months ago. Employees flew in from all across the country for the event. No one checked the vaccine cards and masks were optional. Single digit percentage of people were wearing them, including indoors. And my entire friend network is reporting similar experiences. These are all companies with "left leaning" work force, as one would expect in the bay area. So no, these are not outliers.
Hi, I work in C professionally

A couple years ago I rewrote thousands of lines of Javascript into Rust (game engine & corresponding game server): https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/k3jy5g/i_rewrote_10k_...

Overall I don't think Rust is a silver bullet, but it works effectively as a high level manual memory management language. Whereas when I had to work on C++ code I was running into messes where lifetime issues were undefined behavior instead of compiler errors
can you ask for the cap table?
Fewer in the last two decades than this weekend in the US.
>If pedigree was a useless signal, it wouldn't be used.

The notion of good pedigree benefits anyone who might fit in that category, so they're incentivized to convince people that this matters. For example, if someone on a hiring committee sees an applicant coming from their alma mater, they can call that a "good pedigree" and reinforce the value of their own background.

Besides calling me stupid and gullible, do you have an answer for my original point, which is that the Covid vaccines behave so differently than other vaccines, and that there may be a public health benefit in acknowledging that?

I get vaccinated against measles, or polio, or tetanus, and I don't have to worry about catching or spreading any of those diseases for years. With the Covid vaccine, some sources[0] say fully-vaccinated people are only half as likely as unvaccinated people to catch it (though obviously with less severe effects), and maybe about as likely to transmit it to others[1], and the protective effects wear off in a matter of months. That clearly doesn't line up with the public's traditional understanding of vaccines.

It's already very easy to create a narrative by selective editing. There are high profile examples of this by major news networks. You should already be very skeptical of what you see in the media. It will only get worse.
Unless there are more qualifiers, wouldn't any user be able to avoid being banned by simply running for any office? It's not particularly hard to run for office, it's only hard to be elected. I agree that discriminating on political views has nasty implications, but the wording of this law seems ripe for abuse.
The way the lithium brine is extracted from the ground is by pumping water down, allowing the lithium brine to dissolve in the water, and pumping it back to the surface.

Many of those users continued to be users, with source licenses, who are users to this day. If you had a commercial contract you were unaffected. Perhaps not if you were freeloading…
Stanford was essentially founded in the 20th century - much more recently than many east coast universities.
I think folks mentioning that it’s not worth due to the yearly limit might not be thinking in the long term.

If every year you invest $10k, in 20 years you will have $200k that will have grown tax deferred to likely $400k, which should be a really nice sum equivalent to perhaps 5-10 years of living expenses, which pairs well with the equity side of the portfolio.

I’ve been building my ibonds position for 8 years now, and to me they are an excellent long term holding to BND that will help me in retirement to dampen the volatility of my equities in my 80/20 allocation.
The issue is, people believe that to be the case. That sixth grade exam on long division you got a 17/100 on? It doesn't really have any bearing on what you do as an adult.
Why stop at the board? Why not have the government actually buy half of the company?

I have an EVGA 3070 and also had the sag issue. My case came with a part to support the GPU though, but I didn't realize until I solved it another way: I just doubled up those plates that you screw the GPU into so there was no way it could pivot and sag.
This is odd. I grew up and went to school in the Netherlands, and while I’m often still annoyed with the arbitrary scoring of academic affairs, it’s never been a source of anxiety.

All the dreams I have about high school and university (and it’s not so many) involve having fun with the friends I made there.

I kind of have to wonder what other people go through.

Yes, a proxy acts as a middleman. But as the blog post itself points out,

When you publicly post a signal.tube link, or if a particular server becomes too popular, it increases the chance that Iranian censors will simply add those IPs to their block list.

authorities can track how the information flows, which can be used to identify you (for e.g. through the proxy IP). With foreign encrypted networks, police / intelligence now focus more on getting the device that sent or received the message, rather than intercepting the message by breaking the encryption, as that is an easier method to get all the communication. (And remember that Signal uses phone numbers as identifiers, which really makes it easy for law enforcement to track someone in any investigation). So if someone has been tagged as suspect "terrorist" by the Iranians, and they determine that your proxy has enabled that suspect to bypass their laws and use Signal, you can be liable for aiding and abetting "terrorism".
You ran EarlyScores? Thanks for a tool that really helped my friends and I!
Not quite sure what you mean by sublanguages - procedural and declarative macros perhaps?

In any case I wonder about the simplicity/complexity dance. Simplification ends up with something like Lisp, in which you write DSLs that each has to be independently learned. Elixir does something similar. Some differentiation might just be a natural consequence of chasing ergonomics.
This is already happening (as was noted in other comments on this article).

One of the most prominent examples is the entire Apple Silicon lineup, which has the GPU integrated as part of the SoC, and is powerful enough to drive relatively recent games. (No idea just what its limits are, but I'm quite happy with the games my M1 Max can play.)
To be specific they're allowing transfer to the USDC token, which is a "stable coin" pegged to the USD currency and owned by coin base.

This is a fairly low risk move by Stripe, as USDC is more open and trusted than USDT (Tether)
I’m inclined to say that’s more due to integrated gpus not being a good replacement if you need CUDA or play games; If a better combined alternative existed (and not at an outrageous price) I don’t see the majority skipping it die to lack of being modular.
Districts are banning books they believe they need to to comply with state law.
These dreams usually connect to something you are currently anxious about so your brain is pattern matching the anxiety to recorded memories. You can reduce the intensity of the trauma by revisualizing the event/dream while following some rapid visual stimulus. This is the emdr stuff for ptsd etc…
I suppose one cannot expect anything better from a site called singularity hub, but this post is disingenuous (or written by an actual hack) for multiple reasons. Aren’t the majority of planets we are discovering all orbiting red dwarfs, which can exhibit massive swings in luminosity and be very violent? Even the example quoted by the author which such a short radius seems one of them. Also what do you do in a tidally locked planet? Half if not 90 % of it is likely to be unsustainable.

Also a rogue planet without a star might be able to sustain simple life but without human sources of nuclear power the only source of energy would be geothermal, so not exactly exciting candidates for living. Also who wants to live in a planet in perpetual darkness?

Either the “astronomer” author wasn’t a real astronomer at all or this is just clickbait.
That's due to how faculty is recruited. Ph.D's from tier-1 schools end up professors at tier-2 and tier-3; tier-2 Ph.D's end up being at tier-3 and tier-4.
Professors at Tier-1 have better networks in terms of editorship at top journals, top conferences, members of NSF committees. So, their students have better chance of success.
Not at all.

I'm wondering why you expect the websites you're attempting to utilize to understand your intentions are "pure" when I would argue that setup is vastly more commonly used for nefarious purposes.

They do blocking for a reason. I'm sure if you contacted them they would explain they lose $$$$$$ a year due to fraud/abuse/hack/nefarious attempts coming from setups similar to yours, which dwarfs however much you might buy from them. I understand their position.

There are commercial VPN and security solutions etc that would achieve some of the goals - undoubtedly at a higher cost than what you're running. You would essentially paying for a boost in reputation that websites would recognize as being more on the "good" side than "bad".

It's quite unfortunate for you I agree but I don't blame them at all.

A suggestion - get a more premiere data center host and get a /29 network allocated to you (can be using a LLC for privacy). Essentially become a commercial entity and pass the sniff test for a lot of websites.

Or subscribe to a service that does that for you, and your frustrations will melt away.
I’m sure what you’re saying happens. There’s 1000s of packages with maintainers of varying skill.

That said the track record speaks for itself. I can only remember one time a maintainer introduced a vuln in Debian. The system works even though you’ll find cracks if you look.
I have variants of this. I have a diploma but I took a class and failed it after and that dropped me below a certain gpa and my diploma gets revoked.

Or I don’t have a HS diploma even though I graduated college and have had a job for 20 years.
