Not sure how mysterious it can be when he opens with a rant like:

And the *reality* is that there are no absolute guarantees. Ever. The "Rust is safe" is not some kind of absolute guarantee of code safety. Never has been. Anybody who believes that should probably re-take their kindergarten year, and stop believing in the Easter bunny and Santa Claus.

This is needlessly talking down to competent developers as if they are deluded children. It's also not the only instance of it in the linked message. He would be far better off just going straight into the technical differences between what he is willing to permit in his kernel vs. what the Rust-oriented developers seek.
Perhaps the rule in the standard is simple - the compiler can arbitrarily round to finer precision than IEEE, but in practice it's complicated as the same code can behave quite differently depending on what chip it's compiled for, the level of optimizations, and other factors. If you want to control it, ie model it as something other than nondeterminism, figuring out the right combination of compiler flags and so on is tricky.

I'll also point out that fma is relatively new, so it's pretty easy to write code that works fine when compiled with default x86_64/SSE2 but will break when compiled for a more recent target cpu.
This assumes that without copyrights, they couldn't get any compensation. However, even today, there are plenty of ways to make money from a creative work.

It’s pragmatism. News like that will leak. If it leaks, it’s same as no one getting a heads up.
Brad Cox had a concept of Software ICs, in the chip sense, that align with this. He envisioned these as sharable objects rather than just libraries, but either way that’s the present we’ve been given accidentally.
Laggy might add a tasteful zest of glitchyness.
I think this Fortran quote is hilarious cause that language is ugly and awful to work with, which is why no one uses it anymore. "no paralysis of choice" yeah, no choice of a more readable and maintainable language to work with.
I've been through that "no code" cycle at least three times, ironically including Oracle in two of those cycles, and they always died on their ass. I suspect the same will happen again.

It's really hard to build something generic enough. MS Access was as near to it as was feasible I suspect.
Yes, I understand that affirmative action can have this consequence. I am not arguing for or against affirmative action. I am pointing out that it should not matter whether someone has an A, B, or C name when applications are being triaged. Because Allison, Brian and Caitlin all have the same credentials, they should be viewed as equally likely candidates.

Making assumptions about them based on probabilities is exactly the problem here, and it is one that we can easily avoid.
A lot of stuff today has to be networked, cross platform (although web and other stacks lifts you quite above) and security. Your clean code can be abused by botnets in so many ways. This didn't exist at large before internet.

Also society's pace. Things moved more seasonally.. nowadays there's <lang> fatigue in many places.

Bingo. Every nation should implement an 'externalization tax'.

So USA would implement X% tax on China for their authoritarian stuff, Y% for their aggression against Taiwan and Z% for their carbon emissions.

Every nation gets a tariff.

That would push them into line on some things.

There is no more betting to go, so it does make sense. You are 47% to win but it’s +EV because there is already money in the pot so the pot odds favor you.

That said, there are far better spots to do this and her other plays earlier were less than great.
> in 6 months time your application might be gone or requirements change in a way that everything you wrote does not matter anymore

I'd say if you write code with the assumption this might be true, you're almost guaranteeing it will be - business requirements do often change but typically that means having to modify/refactor existing code so that core components continue to work the same way, because those core requirements haven't changed. While you can make occasional assumptions about which requirements are more likely to change than others I'd much rather write all my code on the assumption the requirements won't change too significantly and that the tools/automated testing and other processes are in place to support that. There's far too much "throwaway/POC" code that ends up getting used in production, often for years, then mysteriously stops working down the line because nobody ever assumed it would need to survive that long. Whereas I don't believe I've seen a project fail because too much time was spent ensuring code was well written and well tested.
Until it was not and we redeployed a much heavier runtime in the form of electron.
In my opinion any activity that requires flexibility, force, coordination and speed is necessary for aging well. It can be acrobatics, martial arts, dancing, yoga, many sports. It is important to find something that you enjoy it by it self. That’s why I avoid plain running or plain weight lifting, unless they are meant to support another activity. And from experience, flexibility and speed really make living in my body enjoyable.

After the shove on the turn the pot is $161k, she needs to call $109k. She needs 109/(109+161) = 40.3% equity to break even. So if she has more than 40.3% equity, she should call. If you plug in their cards on the turn into an equity calculator, you'll see that she has 54.55% equity (not accounting for dead cards like the stream calculation but either way it's the same outcome) so it's +EV for her to call.
Tencent shifts focus to majority deals, overseas gaming assets for growth
It’s not just the choices; as others have pointed out, there “needs” to be a CI/CD pipeline in place for even simple projects just because. Unit testing, integration testing, automated builds and deployments. And yet somehow code is as buggy as ever because the Internet has enabled Day 1 patches. When I started programming, you got software on a diskette, so the consequences for non-working software were severe.
Ask HN: Is realtime functionality of Firebase and Supabase DBs any useful?
In my understanding, Firebase Realtime Database can sync the data to the mobile clients only when the app is in foreground and not in killed/background state. This needs developers to handle the killed/background app case separately, and send a push notification to the device (e.g. chat notification). For the right UX, the push notification should only be sent to the apps in killed/background state. So, to detect whether the app is in the foreground or killed/background state, the server will need to maintain a WebSocket connection with every foreground running app. But doesn't this defeat the purpose of using Realtime Database, as the WebSocket itself can be used to sync data now? Or am I missing something?
Representation is a significant goal post move past equality of opportunity. Typically what is meant is that unequal representation is evidence of discrimination. Academia has bent over backwards for a long time now to attempt to admit people of all groups. Blaming academia's admission and hiring processes for the numbers not being the way representationalists would prefer completely ignores the practices of decades.

Libraries and APIs 25 years ago were expensive, well-documented, and stable.

Users had much lower expectations.

Programming was slow and intentful. Programming today is much more stressful, I think.
I think this might be dependent on location in the world and the local culture. Where I am in Europe, sauna is commonly available and reasonably low-cost as a public space. But I can imagine many places in the US still only having sauna in country clubs or at high-end sports facilities. The POV that sauna is for the privileged few is perfectly understandable and yet hilariously alien to those of us from places where sauna is common.

The idea of having a completely private sauna- now that sounds like a luxury I can only hope to afford one day!
Meh I'll stick with digital media and piracy for when they screw it up. I feel like that's a reasonable compromise until they sort out the laws so this sort of thing can't happen.

Returning to physical media isn't especially appealing.
Before the whole debate of electronic vote being safe or not, please considere the following:

Not all countries work the same, what you perceive as corruption in the US is nowhere near of the reality of corruption in southamerica, a place where corruption is not only a word or a definition but it's literally the force that move things, corruption is pretty much already part of the culture.

So please, don't put your own experiences from the US/1st world countries in practice here, trying to explain how things work in 3rd world countries when you are not fully aware of the level of corruption in brazil. If brazilians themselves are talking about the huge window oportunity for corruption is because they know their culture, they know their problems and they know exactly how things work in their very own coutry.
The article mentions this as well:

> The tiny island in the Seto Inland Sea off Takehara, Hiroshima Prefecture, is a popular tourist destination known for being the home of hundreds of bunnies, but it was once a "poison gas island" where the Imperial Japanese Army secretly manufactured chemical weapons from around 1930 to the end of the war.
It's a religion. There's supposed to be a separation of church and state.

They make grand non-disprovable claims and don't operate on any empirical basis.

It's that simple. Kick out the religion before we damage our society.
The concept of "derivative work" is pretty important in copyright law. I wonder if anyone has thoughts on this, in terms of this type of project. Should there be legal implications to this?

I know someone -- a completely unknown artist -- who used to make a fair portion of their living by drawing D&D characters for people. Unfortunately, orders slowed down, because someone can input one of his images into software like this, and generate endless variations in the same style. Should this be allowed?

Are images created "in the style of" a certain artist completely dependent on images created by that artist? If so, should that artist be compensated? Why or why not?
No, it doesn’t, but the article will still attempt to sensationalize the facts as much as it can.

I’m going to add Reason to the sites I unilaterally ignore next to WaPo, NYT, and FOX.
Last air-to-air cannon kill I'm aware of was an F-16 vs. OV-10 in Venezuela in 1992. You can watch the kill at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDASW6X0XoU.

If you look closely at the moment of shoot down, you'll see the F-16 has its air breaks fully deployed (and I'd assume both leading and trailing edge flaps almost fully down) to slow down enough.
It is telling about how much of a human problem bigotry is that in fighting it we resort to it all over again.

A good warning to all of us to try to keep ourselves in check.
I like the paper idea - that paper and ink becomes an extension of our bodily selves (probably more priopeeception than some spiritual thing).

I mean I can remember and riff off a great paragraph in physical book, where the book is on the shelf, which page the writing is on, did I write next to it? But doing something like that on this iPhone - forget it, it is not "there" in any useful sense

Small, far away cities, say, in deep Amazon and in northeastern semi-arid, take more time to be counted.

They had a service called Docs which was explicitly about document storage, tagging, revisions. It got folded into WorkDrive a few weeks ago. It's kind of the same features, but not the same idea. I did want the document management system, rather that a dropbox clone.

This is the kind of thinking that gets you to "less than 1% of rape accusations are false". How do you know you don't have any problems?
Shame them for their bad behavior. It does not matter how many of them there are. It does not matter if I am the only person in the world who knows what right behavior is, I still must follow my conscience.

Well, I purposely pointed out the first link. Regarding the others, I think there are deeper historical, social, and religious issues that go beyond the racial problems in the US and I don't have any type of deeper insight on those.
Big problem with aluminum is that it has less conductivity and thus is generating more heat in same diameter. However heat and air will cause aluminum cable to oxidize and as a result it will get

1) brittle to point of falling apart.

2) increases it's resistance through oxidation, which will increase heat

This is a big problem in Eastern Europe where communist were building concrete apartment towers wired with aluminum wires, it used to be major reason for fires before those towers were reconstructed and aluminum replaced by copper. Today it is forbidden to use aluminum wires in apartments and houses.

Aluminum is more-less unusable in installations where you can't shield it from air and where aluminum will heat up.
I'm seriously starting to think that we might need to accept the systematic risk realising and clean up the table after it crashes. Extremely ugly, but pushing it forward only makes it worse and I don't think there is fixing things anymore...
> If they get federal funds to enable CCS, fine, otherwise keep the advantage to drive sales

There's no advantage to a proprietary charge port. Closed charging networks are dumb infrastructure. Tesla is slowly realizing that switching to CCS will lead to higher utilization and reduced costs:

https://www.theverge.com/2021/7/28/22596337/tesla-supercharg...

> Tesla has sunk almost $1B into its global fast DC charging network

Then Tesla can spend some more to change the plugs over to CCS, just like they did in Europe.
Not really.

When there's a constant energy source like a flare, it must be used in realtime.

Too much energy is even a problem for the grid (see negative electricity prices that have occurred in, e.g. China).

The only alternative is batteries, which are expensive and have their own problems.

May as well use that energy for securing a neutral public utility financial network/money system.

By the way, check out how much energy the traditional financial systems use:

- Data centers
- Trucks/logistics
- Security
- Military (to secure national currencies such as USD)
- etc.
Average IQ of a software developer (2021)
The PDP-8 is certainly simple, but it has microcode, doesn't have pipelined execution, never approaches one instruction per clock, has memory operands to virtually every instruction (including an indirection bit, a mortal sin in RISC), and has a tiny register set. You could say its zero page is like a "large orthogonal general-purpose register set" but ⓐ all your ALU instructions have to involve a register which isn't in that set (the single accumulator) and ⓑ the current PC page is is just as accessible as the zero page. All it has in common with RISC is the fixed-width instruction set and a (very) small number of instruction formats.

So I would say the PDP-8 is the opposite extreme from RISC.

If you like the PDP-8 you should check out the 32-bit version: https://github.com/johnwcowan/pdp8x

The NOVA is maybe a little more plausible, since it at least has a load-store architecture and four accumulators instead of one, but it still doesn't feel very RISCy to me. I mean it's maybe less RISCy than the 80386?
Donating blood and plasma is good for healthspan? This is news to me.
You would be cancelled for that view. The correct view is that people of good standing should only admit and hire from a few groups until there is parity. Extra points if you want overrepresentation, to compensate for past imbalances. Explicitly, you must accept the proposition that the son is not only to be blamed for the sins of the father, but also to be blamed for the sins of all who share similar ancestry. Individual behavior or innocence is irrelevant.

The positioning seems very consistent, almost to the point where I wonder if that was part of the selection process to demonstrate the differences in style. There are only four per style, where the position of a subject could be a selection factor. Hard to tell if the position similarities are driven by the Stable Diffusion model or by the selection of representative images.

I think the only reason this drama is going around is because of the chess drama. It's in the zeitgeist and it's good clickbait right now.

Go back an hour in the footage, and she's calling with Jack high on a KQK board against the same player, and she calls for extra time before eventually folding a bet on the river when she still has Jack high. It's apparently not unlike her to be trying to catch bluffs with hands that lose to the bluff. She's new to poker and playing against sharks on TV. She's nervous and embarrassed and doing and saying things that don't make sense.

You're right though that you can definitely pack a measuring cup with flour and get more than you intended. Bread can be pretty persnickety too, which is why volume based recipes mention how to fill the measuring cup.

Youtube hosts a billion videos where 99.9999999999% of the creators had no hope of recompense. The same goes for books and music.

It makes way less sense to call with J4. She did something that doesn't make sense.

I agree with a lot of what you say!

When I was a kid, my first computer had 4k of RAM; my next one had 48k. I learned a lot about how everything worked, because there was very little to it. Over the years things have grown, but I've had a chance to grow along with it.

But somebody starting out today start in the middle of vast layers of complexity. From processors and hardware that are hugely more complicated up through virtualization, containerization, rich OSes, languages and standard libraries with decades of history, tons of add-on libraries, and then out to user platforms with their own tangled ecosystems and decades of history. It's a lot!

I think it's so much harder now for developers to develop "mechanical sympathy", that intuitive understanding of the rhythms of machinery. Apparently slight shifts in code can be 3 orders of magnitude difference in performance. So much of what they deal with is historically determined. (E.g., what percentage of working developers has every actually seen a carriage returning or a line feeding?) And it's all running on much shorter cycles with an ever-updating mass of tools, libraries, frameworks, and operating systems.

On the one hand, people can do some amazing¸valuable stuff with very little training. That's great! But I think it's a lot harder to truly master the craft, and I'm concerned that a lot of programmers spend their time in professional contexts where the feedback loops are long or broken such that they are encouraged to be less analytical than superstitious, cargo-culting their way to from one overly-aggressive sprint deadline to the next.
I would guess there are a lot of poor people in the cities like Rio de Janiero as well.
