D is not at all like C++.

D is D.

You only need to compare how C++ and D treat a class type, and you know straight away they are miles apart (I prefer C++ in this regard).

D has a subset, and that subset is more like C - pretty much cause that subset is C. That can be interesting to use, since it's like C with modules.

But don't be fooled. D is not like C++.

I wish people would stop saying as such, cause it's not at all true.
This got downvoted but it is correct. The "terrascope" concept depends on atmospheric rather than gravitational lensing. The deflection through the Earth's atmosphere is about 1 degree, which is orders of magnitude more than you get from the Earth's gravity.

Using Earth as a gravitational lens would give you a focal point about 15000 AU (a quarter of a light year) away, far outside the solar system. But with atmospheric diffraction, you can get a focal point within the Earth–Moon system.
For the sake of completeness, you should quote virtually every other great scientist on this matter. The sentiment is largely contrary to Feynman’s.
Someone wrote in another thread:

> It uses TRISO fuel, which are fissionable materials enclosed in a carbon and ceramic shell that's extremely tough and can handle far higher temperatures than are present in a reactor without melting.

Each grain of fuel is about the size of a poppy seed, with the majority of the seed being the ceramic shell. It's not a dense fuel. This stops issues of radioactive material leaching into groundwater, and also makes it quite difficult to use the fuel for nefarious purposes (like a dirty bomb). Someone would need to separate the fuel from the shell, not a trivial thing to do. All this to say that it's not super attractive for terrorist types.

Also, remember that whilst they talk about using them in remote areas, it's mostly about being "remote to other infrastructure", not "remote from all people". These things will be installed in small regional towns / mine sites etc. Places where a town sized number of people will be. So it's not like it will be hours away from any first responder.

Finally, these can be secured pretty well physically. They won't be easy to move, or cut into, or siphon out the material, at least not in a smash-and-grab type scenario.

> A ‘Dark Age’ implies the existence of a contrasting ‘Bright Age’ which preceded the darkness

Not true. A "dark age" only implies some contrasting age, not necessarily a predecessor.

The European "dark ages" were named that by people who claimed to be "the enlightenment." I would guess elsewhere it's also always a slur used by elites to distance themselves from whatever they see as lesser.

ProPublica received money from SBF as grant.

SBF invested in Semafor.

then you got NYT event with SBF as speaker https://twitter.com/TrungTPhan/status/1595587141694021633?s=...

the picture is meme but its real. SBF is a featured speaker before the FTX collapsed.

then you got Ben Smith from Semafor going back and forward with Elon about who got money from SBF.

https://twitter.com/semaforben/status/1595521488332931072?s=...

you also got this article from Forbes about SBF using none profit to hide behind.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnhyatt/2022/11/14/sam-bankma...

the rabbit hole is just too deep for me. i just check Twitter blue checkers for FTX. a lot of them break the news first.

my conclusion is SBF put up a good front as a do gooder.

i feel bad for some real do gooders who received money from SBF. for example,

"Nathan Young, a researcher who was given $182,000 in June to create “a website for collaboratively creating public forecasting questions for a range of prediction aggregators and markets,” said on Twitter he feels guilty about receiving money from FTX. “Likely the fraud was already happening when the money was donated. That weighs on me,” Young wrote."

here is his tweet: https://twitter.com/NathanpmYoung/status/1590914873520967680...

Everyone has been aware for months that the business would get gutted. The business remains at risk of bankruptcy.

These are employees and contractors, they are not a charity case.

If we’re going to go down that road we might as well count how many janitors HP fired today, and how the CEO should have personally kept them on salary.

Specifically for the request case, I recall seeing a talk suggestion that processing requests last-in-first-out resolves this failure mode as well as reduces the 99th percentile latency. The intuition is if a request is going to be late, might as well abandon it and process it later because it's already late instead of doing a slow job and making everything else slow in the process.

Maybe that's a strange metaphor for work too.

Well considering what is called a “dark age” was one of the most profound ages of scientific discovery, perhaps the question itself is invalid.

Why do we ban 12-year-olds from voting? Seems we already have some concept of the capacity to vote built into our legal system here in the US. Wonder if that's true of all countries...

I think I agree dementia patients should still be able to vote, but like... it feels weird, right?

Depending on how much of your life involved the early web, it could be considered the dark ages for the past 30 years. For instance, 90s to early 2000s had so many different things online that are basically gone today. Is that a good thing or a bad thing is highly debatable. Likewise, online pay services in the more recent era, MMOs and the like, fade away and are shut down, or they are continually changed, so as they say, you can't go back again. The world as a whole is producing too much 'data' to fathom. So I don't think Dark Ages moniker quite applies, more like finding the right haystack in a field of haystacks. Loss of data, but not quite in the same way.

Could these be viable for shipping containers??

IIUC, 18,000 TEU ships have engines that generate ~60 mW - and use about 66,000 gallons of diesel per day.

That's ~$90M in fuel per year, which could be replaced by ~12 of there reactors.

That's $7.5M per year. If these can be purchased for less than $20M - with an 8-year life-span and $2M for fuel and operation per year - then maybe it could work??
Smart contracts do provide a stable (immutable!) api which is designed for composable functionality, although it’s not used across different peoples contracts that much. A pipes like UI that binds things together could be interesting. If the connective contracts are also on chain you could in theory develop flash bots that execute everything in the same block.
It’s free because it’s on my research cluster, not in the cloud and I want to share it. For faster training it will be paid with other features, but to train a basic model will always be free. Im adding download of checkpoints now.
Yes, we can agree that D is not like C++ - not at all.

The reason C++ programmers are usually disappointed, is because D gets marketed as such (it's the bait you need to get them to look at D afterall).

In fact, even on the basic class type, C++ and D are really miles apart. Make no mistake about this - they are miles apart, even on this one construct (the same contruct for there being a C++ in the first place).

It is clear when you use D, that it wasn't designed to be like C++.

D does have a subset that is C like, and that's primarly because it is, in essence, C.

So D is D.

D is not at all like C++.

A subset of D is like C (cause it is - more or less - C).

If I understand correctly, you're saying Erlang/Elixir code would be easier to understand and work with if functions that did I/O or message passing etc. were labeled as such, via type info.

I don't entirely disagree, but I also don't think it would be a game changer for a couple reasons...

- It's already well established practice to separate pure and impure modules in Erlang/Elixir projects, even without a type system to enforce it. Take Ecto for instance, it has a clean split of side-effects (Ecto.Repo) and pure logic (Ecto.Changeset). Very different from things like ActiveRecord or Django ORM. [1]

- BEAM programs (and libraries) use a lot of concurrency and message passing, and I think you would have to use an escape hatch ala unsafePerformIO more often than a typical Haskell program, otherwise the IO would "infect" most of the code. Things like instrumentation, fetching app environment, calling the code server, using process dict...

Joe Armstrong kind of mentions the latter problem in his thesis [2]:

Notice that I have chosen a particularly simple definition of “dirty.” At first sight it might appear that it would be better to recursively define a module as being dirty if any function in the module calls a “dangerous” BIF or a dirty function in another module. Unfortunately with such a definition virtually every module in the system would be classified as dirty.

The reason for this is that if you compute the transitive closure of all functions calls exported from a particular module, the transitive closure will include virtually every module in the system. The reason why the transitive closure is so large is due to “leakage” which occurs from many of the modules in the Erlang libraries.

We take the simplifying view that all modules are well-written and tested, and that if they do contain side-effects, that the module has been written in such a way so that the side effects do not leak out from the module to adversely affect code which calls the module.

He is of course talking about "dirty" _modules_. Working at the function level, the leakage wouldn't be quite as bad... but I think it may still be enough to limit how useful IO annotations would be. Code that "has been written in such a way so that the side effects do not leak out" is quite common on BEAM.

Who knows though. Maybe we'll see interesting things in Gleam in the future :)

'But as it is, there are many parts, yet one body. The eye cannot say to the hand, “I do not need you,” nor again the head to the feet, “I do not need you.” Indeed, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are all the more necessary, and those parts of the body that we consider less honorable we surround with greater honor, and our less presentable parts are treated with greater propriety, whereas our more presentable parts do not need this. But God has so constructed the body as to give greater honor to a part that is without it, so that there may be no division in the body, but that the parts may have the same concern for one another. If [one] part suffers, all the parts suffer with it; if one part is honored, all the parts share its joy.' 1 Corinthians 12
