In a March meeting, Laura Dehmlow, an FBI official, warned that the threat of subversive information on social media could undermine support for the U.S. government. Dehmlow, according to notes of the discussion attended by senior executives from Twitter and JPMorgan Chase, stressed that “we need a media infrastructure that is held accountable.”

To the author, this appears inconsequential. (Why is JPMorgan Chase, a bank that is quite conveniently heavily 'regulated', even involved in federal law enforcement discussions on social media?)

Maybe if we translate this statement, it would be easier for some people to understand:

"In a March meeting, Li Shulei, a CCP official, warned that the threat of subversive information on social media could undermine support for the government. Li, according to notes of the discussion attended by senior executives from Weibo and Ant Group, stressed that “we need a media infrastructure that is held accountable.”
With rust quite often (e.g. if you are running rust_analyzer) it will run `cargo check`, to produce errors. When `cargo check` is run, build.rs compiled and run.
So quite often by step 1, just opening the file in your editor before even
making any changes code is compiled and run.

Walter's solution here allows the compiler to be used by the editor without
the editor being susceptible. Which at the very least negates the need for a pop-up in your editor asking for permission.
I disagree, plenty of posts here that start with "doesn't work on my iPhone".

Apple forces you to adjust to their terrible browser engine by taking away your users' ability to install another browser. Many websites put in the effort to make their stuff work on Apple devices but that's far from a given.
Show HN: WakeSlow – Hack a smart speaker to be a slow-wake alarm clock
There is a huge potential for language models to get close to messy text problems (many of which are in Excel and Sheet). I am the founder of promptloop.com - the author of this tweet has been an early user.

The challenge to making something like this, or Co-pilot / Ghostwrite, work well is about meeting users where they are. Spreadsheet users dont want to deal with API keys or know what temperature is - but anyone (like this tweet) can set up direct API use with generic models in 10 minutes. This document has all the code to do so ;). [1]

For non-engineers - or folks who need a reliable and familiar syntax to use at scale and across their org - promptloop [2] is the best way to do that. All comments in here are great though. We have been live with users since the summer - no waitlist. And as a note - despite the name "prompt engineering" has almost nothing to do with making this work at scale.

I agree. In radio the size of the aperture across which the currents flow is inversely proportional to the size of the antenna main beam. The pattern is literally the fourier transform of the currents. The bigger the smaller. There's no getting around needing to have a giant antenna surface (or array).

In order to have the required extremely tiny main beams (high gain), to not instantly lose most of the power to spreading losses, LEO beamed power at reasonable microwave frequencies requires ~5km wide aperture.

We cannot build 5 km things in space yet. It is not really something worth discussing till we're doing that regularly. Space based power isn't that much more available than ground based so there's not much value added to the huge increase in cost orbit requires.

>we're not playing a leading role when we should be.

if the success of the Tiangong space station is any indication, we're not playing a role at all. the Tiangong analysis on HN alone should serve as a sobering wake up call that things like the wolf amendment have basically neutered the US ability to engage with what is by many standards a parity player thats met or exceeded most western technological touchstones.

this chipmaking technology, its not magic or really even exclusive no matter how badly the west wishes it were. its predicated on the fundamentals of well funded STEM education, well funded research and development, intellectual curiosity and a collective motivation and morale to succeed. this country invented Artemisinin, Non-invasive prenatal diagnostic testing for Down Syndrome, synthetic insulin, and even discovered things like Chens prime and finite element methodology.

The last time the US shunned them from a space station they built one that was in many ways better than the ISS. I for one am excited to see what new chip technology emerges in the next few years.
After being severely depressed for over a decade and wanting to die, seeing that the healthcare system had failed me and feeling utterly disconnected, rejected, unloved and anhedonic, I went to Amsterdam. After reading a lot about psychedelic experiences, it was the only thing left that I thought could give me a way out of my misery other than actual death.

I bought shrooms, ate them alone in a room and soon felt the effects. First, some dizzyness and nausea, then, slowly, an increased brilliant feeling radiating from my stomach and soon encompassing my entire body. With it, a mental focus on small patterns, light projected through leaves of a tree outside into the room. For the first time that I could remember, actually feeling well inside my body, and feeling energetic, comfortable, not nervous. I looked at the wallpaper but my negative feelings about it were amplified a lot, I knew set and setting were important, so I dared to go outside into a park. For the first time that I could remember, I could smile. And someone smiled back. I sat down, and watched, and thought. For the first time that I could remember I felt connected to the world, in a way I died. I could see patterns if I wanted. Dare I say, I felt a bit human.

It even seemed like people were there for me. This made me sad and contemplative, being aware of my past and present, but I could think about these things without extremely negative emotions disturbing my thoughts. I saw people in groups and for the first time believed I could be part of it if I wanted.

Unfortunately these feelings faded soon after the trip, my life riddled with even more rejection and pain. I took shrooms again, but the second time I knew what to expect, and it didn't feel very special. The saying "if you get the message, hang up the phone" made some sense, since I felt I already got it the first time.

The third time, I took a bit of DMT with someone who was there for me in the right moment. It was the first time in my life I dared to be close with someone. Yet again, I was rejected, but it didn't matter.

A few weeks ago I took LSD. I enjoyed some music and patterns. Enjoyment, but exhausting enjoyment. Maybe I haven't gotten the full message after all. Ultimately, I think these substances can show someone that life can be worth living, that happiness is possible again, and help in reconsidering ones relationship to ones own body, other people and the world. For me, they did not have significant permanent effects however. I do not recommend taking these substances alone, especially if you are in a mentally extreme condition.

It is, it'll build a few fuzzers hitting different areas[0]. The important function in many of those `.c` files is `FuzzerTestOneInput` which is effectively the entrypoint for a single fuzz test.

Taking a look at x509.c[1] which I believe is the most likely to be able to reach the punnycode parser. (I am not at all familiar with the codebase). You can see that the OpenSSL fuzzer is basically doing a holistic fuzz (I assume the i2d* and d2i* functions exercise the parser), that is its just invoking key entrypoints that in theory can exercise all the rest of the functionality with the correct inputs.

Hanno's fuzzer on the other hand, is explicitly only testing the `ossl_punnycode_decode` function[3].

Given the breadth of the fuzzer, I think its very possible OSS-Fuzz just didn't hit it.

An asteroid caused the extinction of the dinosaurs, which led to the rise of the mammals, which led to us, so that's a negative number.

Maybe, maybe not. Historically speaking, every time we make doing some expensive and rare thing dramatically cheaper or faster, somebody will dream up a way to make use of that new capacity. I'd be more than happy to see what people dream up to do if we manage to make access to space 10x cheaper.

I meant the general syntax design, not specifically the memory model.

For example there are multiple syntaxes for adding annotations or directives to the code. Some things are written very differently compared to other languages for no apparent reasons (e.g. derive). Some keywords have different meaning in different contexts (e.g self and type). And so on...

Basically, there are some rough edges that shouldn't really be there

> Why would we? When you turn on the light, or drive in your car, are you thinking "hmm, they burned some plastic, let me drive extra"? No, the only signal you use is the cost of the product.

It seems odd to me than an after-school program has no set way for parents to contact the program without going through a relay-style process. I agree that the solution shouldn't be "give out your personal phone number," but it also shouldn't be "rely on a person that's not at the program to relay calls to you."

Put another way, how would a parent contact the program in an emergency? They'd likely (as you illustrated) go through an intermediary that may or may not be there. That seems less than ideal, and certainly wouldn't be something that I'd be happy about if my child were in the program.

> Back in 2010, I read the c++faq religiously, tried to warp my projects to it in college, and in the end produced nothing because i was too busy trying to be a big boy.

You're just admitting to having created your own problem, and suffering consequences for it. Nothing in your comment pertains any issue with reading coding guidelines in general or specifically the C++ ones, let alone any comment in particular.

> Now, the c++faq is obsolete.

That's your personal assertion, and one that does not sound informed at all.

I keep track of the C++ coding guidelines. In general they are nice rules of thumb. No one wants to build a religion around them.
JavaScript does not have any input/output (IO/syscalls) all those functions like reading a file, socket, etc needs to be implemented in the runtime language, like the browser, Node.JS, ASP, etc. So you are at the mercy of the runtime executable. The JS JIT slows down startup time as the JavaScript first have to be parsed and compiled before running, but the runtime can then cache the compiled version for faster startups. When JavaScript was new it was slow, for example string concatenation was slow, but most JS engines now implement string concatenation with a "rope" structure making it very fast. v8 (Chrome) and Spidermonkey (Firefox) have got a lot of optimizations over the years, so if you are doing things like incrementing a number in a loop it will be just as optimized as something written in a systems level language.
I personally don’t think it’s a culture. I’d call it a marketing strategy. I can be wrong of course. Curious to hear what others think.
An Exact Formula for the Primes: Willans' Formula
When the solution requires more work than exhaustively examining all possibilities - is that really the answer ?
Before learning FP I used to ask myself: "Assuming that by tomorrow my memory gets erased and my IQ diminishes by 50 points, will I understand this code?".

That's why I try to juggle the least amount of variables as possible at the same time, while trying to have my code to read like a cooking recipe or a very simple literature. From that, FP feels almost natural.

Even more so, I think that most software bugs and spaghetti code is made by people that were too confident on themselves. They thought they could handle a lot of random unrelated variables floating around all the time, while having their functions do a lot of random algorithms at the same time.

And yes, they could handle it. The first time. But, in the long run, most people forget, or they leave and another person ends up having to maintain it, and that super brief-and-clever code became an unmaintainable mess.
It might be true for glass, but as far as I know aluminium cans and tetrapak packaging are better solutions than plastics for a lot of beverages.
I dealt with something similar. I was creating a large directory of childcare centres in Canada. I had thousands of listings with a url but no email address. I created a Mechanical Turk job to ask turkers to go to website and find an email address. Many came back with email addresses like admin@<<actualURL>>.com. After checking a few, I realized that the turkers were just guessing that admin@ would work and I'd approve their work. I ended up having to double check all the work.
So is .NET finally going to make a comeback? Yes, you need some dependencies for projects, but in general Microsoft does a good job providing a lot of tooling and libraries.

Pure functional languages can very well have normal IO. It's Haskell's lazyness that mostly forced it to use monads for IO, for better or for worse. In a pure FP language with strict evaluation semantics, IO can easily be implemented as a pure function foo -> (World, Input) -> (World, Output).

> we don't know the physical curvature goes to infinity--the math says it does

More precisely, the math of the theory that works everywhere we can test it, when extrapolated to r = 0 inside a black hole, where we cannot directly test it, says the curvature increases without bound as r = 0 is approached. The mathematical process of extrapolating a well tested theory into a domain where we cannot directly test it is used all the time in science; there's nothing inherently questionable or unreliable about it.

The issue in this particular case is that the extrapolation gives us an answer that has a problem: it doesn't seem physically reasonable to have curvature increasing without bound in a finite time, along a finite arc length on the worldline of some observer, at which point spacetime just ends and the observer is destroyed. So most physicists believe that GR, the theory, will actually break down somewhere before this point is reached, and we will need a new theory, which most physicists believe will be a theory of quantum gravity, to tell us what actually happens in this regime.

But you're correct that we won't know for sure unless and until we have some way of testing what happens in this regime.

Yes, you (or rather, core library developers) need to pick a data structure appropriate to your access patterns: linked lists for iteration, search trees for concatenation, finger trees for random access, and so on.

Interesting that I also am learning c++ since some months and I have a very similar feedback as you.

Just to add something:

> - C++ 20 concepts are a near mirror copy of Rust Traits and enable composition that's an alternative to inheritance, again difficult to find examples of

I don't know Rust, but they remind me of Scala traits. I guess it's conceptually the same, and Scala comes first :)

> - The features that make C++ decent are often found in C++ 20/23, for which there are woefully few resources

Somehow yes, but I think lots of cool things happened in 11 and 17. At least when I read the docs, it seems so. C++20 seems to have simplified and ported a lot of more modern features to the language, though. But 11 was a game changer from my understanding.

> - Dependency and package management is a nightmare. Need to condense CMake + vcpkg into a Cargo like tool and make it a standard

Tooling is indeed something that requires a sort of unofficial community decision to say "just start with this and this". That's so true! But that also goes against the main philosophy of C++ which makes it so super cool!

> Interest rates make things requiring financing (cars, homes, stuff bought on credit) more expensive and out of reach.

This is complex.

Lower interest rates overall increase home prices, because people buy the biggest home they can afford on a monthly payment.

There are many kinds of cars. Some are cheap and some are expensive.

Anyway, how do interest rates make things like food and gas more expensive and out of reach? Those don't require financing. They're hugely impactful on inflation. You can be the Fed, and pretend there's a "core" CPI, but the people who make your clothes and cars need food and gas, your clothes are made with a lot of gasoline directly, via shipping and manufacturing, etc., so it is sort of a fiction that there is this non-food-and-gas CPI.
