PTFE (nonstick coating marketed under Teflon) is safe unless you inhale a lot of its fumes by heating it to over 500F. And by a lot I mean cases of fume fever show up with people welding lots of ptfe. You are probably thinking of Perfluorooctanoic acid, which is carcinogenic but most exposure happens from fabric coatings. It was banned in the US in 2013 and none of it is manufactured or used in the US currently.

Which is an example of regulation of additives to plastics. The plastic itself (PTFE) isn’t the problem, it’s the additives.

I’d point out interestingly PTFE is what Goretex is made out of. You heat PTFE then jerk it hard and it foams into a fabric.
That sounds like the view of an anti-progress luddite. Be careful where you make such statements.

We just had conversation about this in the company. I think it's a good way to give us the code that we know how to write but we waste some time to do that. I.e. I needed function that changes the index of the array, so I asked chatGPT which gave me correct function. I know how to do that but I need some time to think and to test it out. This is just a augmentation of the programming, tools that help us write better code.

Maybe it can substitute StackOverflow, we will get better and faster code / explanation. But in the next 30-50 years, who knows. I guess it can write a lot of code for us, maybe we will be obsolete in that period of time, but as we know, prediction of the future often times goes really really wrong.

No, it's just "let's take random languages and transpile them to Javascript but call it Webassembly and hope nobody notices". In that sense it's much worse.
> Here's a quick demo that deallocates the `None` singleton:

As I said, you can trivially corrupt the VM through ctypes. However I don't think I've ever seen anyone wilfully interact with the VM for reasons other than shit and giggles.

The few uses of ctypes I've seen were actual FFI (interacting with native libraries), and IME it's rare enough and alien enough that people tread quite carefully around that. I've actually seen a lot less care with the native library on the other side of the FFI call than on the FFI call itself (I've had to point issues with that just this morning during a code review, if anything the ctypes call was over-protected, otoh the update to the so's source had multiple major issues).
They're demanding a 30% cut of the transaction fees, not of what is being purchased.

> I can tell you that bad programmers can write bad code in Rust.

Of course. The question rust users seem to put forth is that bad programmers write _better_ (not good) rust code than C code.

That bad programmers write bad code is to expected. That is, after all, a likely explanation for why they're bad.
It's definitely not JUST doing copy-and-paste, though...

Moonlight is too.
Right - but those pushing for external app stores assume it will work that way. Instead... Apple's probably going to make some forms and demand manual reporting and commission payments.

However, it would be so contrary to the spirit, if not the letter, of the law that I expect any such attempts would quickly gain antitrust scrutiny and new legislation declaring that APIs and software included in a device may only be monetized at point-of-sale (with the exception of subscription plans marketed toward consumers). It is possible that a court would even see it as such a violation of the law's intended effect that they would step in.
Reaction time is time to react to (randomly generated) stimulus. So it measures the delay of our inputs, and delay of our outputs.

You are not reacting to stimulus. You are producing event (keypress) and waiting to see result.

Brain sends the message, it hits the fingers some miliseconds later but brain already knows what to expect and is already watching. So the net effect is "okay I knew I pressed the key, why nothing changed?"
By that logic, you can't write any safe rust at all because it relies on a compiler written in C++.

We are discussing the languages themselves, not any particular implementation.
I believe I've seen comments from crypto experts saying that it was a mistake to put authentication and identity in TLS/SSL.

I'm not sure I understand the alternatives...

But has this been developed further somehow by the crypto/security community?
Agreed. It's hard to create quality content, and even harder to do it without being able to monetize that content.

"The Internet should be free!" that's just not sustainable. I'm sorry but it isn't.
Considering everything “mental” emerges from the nervous system and COVID can affect the nervous system, I wonder how many supposed psychosomatic conditions are actually somatic conditions in the first place.
Compiling and linking large projects can easily eat 4gb per core, so if there are 8+cores you need more than 32gb of ram.

I don’t think you need 64gb, my experience (on a 32gb machine) makes me think you need maybe 5gb per core to be safe from swapping, but presumably doubling is easier/faster than increasing in non 2^^x amounts.
Seems like these guys just wasted $11k to erroneously claim, “deep learning bad! Simple is better!”

There’s definitely use for these classical, model-based methods, for sure. But a contrived comparison claiming they’re king is just misinformation.

Eg, here are a number of issues with classical techniques where dl succeeds (‘they’ here refers to classical techniques):

- they often don’t support missing/corrupt data

- they focus on linear relationships and not complex joint distributions

- they focus on fixed temporal dependence that must be diagnosed and specified a priori

- they take as input univariate, not multiple interval, data

- they focus on one-step forecasts, not long time horizons

- they’re highly parameterized and rigid to assumptions

- they fail for cold start problems

A more nuanced comparison would do well to mention these.

Thanks for the helpful links!

The ORMs we’ve experimented with tend to be too opinionated in their structure or have leaky abstractions or don’t allow configuring important settings like connection timeouts or don’t handle things like batch writes or transaction control correctly. For my use case it’s much better to simply drop in a bolt driver and watch it go.
Paradoxical effects are rare and tend to happen only with psychoactive medications. I see very little evidence for paradoxical effects playing a major role, but obviously it can't be ruled out entirely. I don't find paradoxical effects a convincing explanation for anorexia because of how people develop anorexia. You can become anorexic merely by changing your social circle or even your desired social circle, so why would a paradoxical effect occur in that situation when presumably the environment hasn't changed in terms of chemical consumption.

> Why has the percentage of the population that is obese increasing?

Most likely explanation is that they are eating foods that aren't satiating and that are high calorie, foods that weren't common in the past. Like I said earlier, people who are eating simple foods like the ones I listed don't get fat. Genetics seems to play a role in that some people can eat junk and feel full but most can't.
I didn’t say it’s not an improvement. I just wonder who will you blame once you have a hacker exploiting that exact CVE which you didn’t know about because they sold you rust as memory safe language, so you didn’t take the time to run any sanitizer or similar.

Does Rust provide a way to check if you’re using unsafe code? What if I want to disable that? If I need to make a mission critical software I need to be aware of what I am deploying. If on the other hand we want Rust to be the new JS for backend, then yes so be it, we improved over c++, well done.

I think that you are discarding a massive positive use case, PWAs.

We rely on them extensively for basic notification functionality in healthcare applications.

We literally send out alerts that save people's lives using web push notifications, so I think it's a bit cavalier to dismiss them entirely.

I do agree that it would be nice if the were restricted a bit more, perhaps to installed PWAs of some sort.
The term "historical documents" gives me strong Galaxy Quest vibes. Someday, maybe we can generate the TV show that it was based on.
Coinbase charges transaction fees and those are the in-app purchases for which Apple are claiming their cut.
> Is there any practical programming language that is memory safe in its "entirety"?

This isn't possible. Eventually you are sitting at a block of memory and need to write the allocator. Maybe (like python) your allocator is written in C and you hide it, but there is always something that isn't memory safe sitting under your language.

You could write a language for an actual Turing machine which since it has infinite memory is by definition memory safe. However as soon as you need to run on real hardware you have to work with something unsafe.

You can of course prove a memory allocator is correct, but it would still have to use unsafe in rust. I supposed you could them implement this alloator in hardware, and make rust use that - but since this doesn't seem like it will happen I'm going with all languages have unsafe somewhere at the bottom.
It's just a bug in the timeLine code — this would fix it:

I experienced a somewhat similar issue yesterday on my network that I described in detail here [0].

Essentially one of the computers (running ubuntu) on my network started sending a VERY high volume (it measured 20gb for the day, and I think it was all over a 10 minute period) of DNS traffic to my router, which runs an unbound instance for my network. That traffic (or at least I think it was that traffic) brought down my network to the point where I could even ping an external or internal ip address.

Does tcpdump show the destination ip address the traffic was sent to on AT&T's network? Curious if that could be a dns server..

Also, what version of ubuntu is your desktop running, and what software does it have on it? Are you using canonical's livepatch service?

I can't speak to the others, but Java & Kotlin do not at all have C++-like performance, especially not in anything beyond a toy level benchmark.

And even in those toy level benchmarks (like https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/... ), there's a clear divide between C/C++/Rust & everything else.
If the app you were using included a transaction fee to purchase the AAPL stock, Apple would claim a 30% cut of that fee.

Meh, I’m sure it’s useful to someone.

But I have to say, 12 CPU cores and 96GB of memory is a fascinatingly odd pairing. Is the base spec going to have a 128GB hard drive?

Generally smaller nanometre designs are a lot more power efficient. Your old iPhone will do just fine yes - but imagine if it had twice the battery life?

Now why they just keep massively increasing power as efficiency goes up is beyond me......I think a lot of people would love a new iPhone with a processor a bit faster than your old iPhone 6 but with insane battery life.

Are they? Monopolies don't set prices based on marginal costs but on maximizing profit. A 30% tax may very well come out of their profits as raising prices may reduce sales enough to reduce profits.

I have written USB device firmware for AVR, and read docs for a bunch of microcontroller families' with different internal HID device units that I wanted to port to.
If you do take suggestions for your next version, there are some hardware features that I would like:

* Let the MCU replace the next unsent input report, and atomically. Many USB devices can only queue reports, not replace them.

* Allow the microcontroller to know when a input report has been received. (ACK)

The first would make it possible to get the lowest latency with reports such as keyboard reports that contains only the state of momentary switches.
The second would make it possible to ensure that an event has been received, even if the host would poll at a slower rate than what the firmware works at.

The situation is especially complex for mice, where the reports have inputs that are relative — to the previous report.
Coinbase absolutely take fees that are unrelated to network fees. When you buy $COIN from Coinbase you don't touch the network at all they just note in their database that you bought 0.5 of $COIN for $10 total, $2 which was their fee. It doesn't hit the network till you withdraw it. This is the fee Apple is talking about.
They seem to be clones of each other. Not sure which came first.
At $1 it would be a no-brainer for me, but one possible argument I can see is that a flat fee is a funny arrangement here - I pay $3/mo if I make 100 searches a day, or 1, or none. If the idea is that it would only be fair to Brave to pay them for what they aren't making by showing me ads, you might think it would make more sense to have me pay for exactly how much they lose, not less or more?
I like to write documentation for software first before I write the code.

If you can explain how it works clearly and easily, you probably have a decent design. If not, you probably still have some design/redesign work to do.
And I've talked to more recent purchasers who are also happy; this is important because I had an Epson Workforce inkjet and it was great, but they really went down hill about 5 years ago.
Robinhood gets paid for order flow should apple get 30% of that each time a trade is executed on the platform? Apple should also take a fee from all trading apps that charge a fee on options trades in this case.
Ack, a real conundrum here. On one hand, Apple's ridiculous behavior. On the other hand, hard for me to imagine a more useless and counterproductive invention than NFTs...

How is ChatGPT's answer wrong? The regex is matching square brackets instead of the correct OPTIONAL curly braces. Unseparated arguments aren't handled. The regex for the id is also wrong. The leading slash is correct, but other than that, the whole fucking thing is wrong!

And of course it can't handle macro calls within the macro arguments (nesting).

It's just an absolute clusterfuck, from top to bottom. The chatbot gave its user a useless piece of garbage, and Hacker News doesn't know enough to throw it away. Instead, we parade it around like some great success!

The fact that prednisone resolves so many of these cases, that there are experimental tests starting to gain traction about diagnosing LC, and there are numerous good theories put forward in the research community explaining the various pathways that explain LC outside of it being "psychosomatic".

>> 100% USDA Grade-A Certified Prime BS, as shown by both projects' ages (15+, 30+ years) and maybe the definition of legacy

How should 'legacy' be defined?

If the software is actively developed and gets new features regularly, I would not consider it legacy.

If the software only gets maintenance / bug fix updates or is not updated, but is still used in production, then it is legacy software.

>> I would say projects like Fuchsia and Rust itself aren't legacy because you can move fast and break things

Fuchsia is not widely used (yet?). I am not sure how much "moving fast and breaking things" happens in Fuchsia.

Rust has the concept of editions (https://doc.rust-lang.org/edition-guide/editions/index.html) and spends significant effort to maintain backward compatibility.

You do not have to "move fast and break things" to not be legacy.
Is that still the case? Or is it just new root CAs get the appropriate amount of scrutiny, but a lot of existing CAs have been effectively grandfathered in because they were added two decades ago when folks weren't as diligent?

EDIT: elsewhere in the thread someone linked the bugzilla request for TrustCor to be added. I had assumed that was a long time ago, but it's "only" 7 years ago.
I'd been thinking of trying something similar (but with much less experience) for my Dikon heatpump rather than paying the $300 / indoor unit cost for the official iot solution. I wonder if someone has already done this for the Daikon, too.
Depends. The goal of a lawsuit isn't always to win the lawsuit; sometimes it's to generate publicity (and will then be quietly withdrawn later).
That’s true, but it’s also because of marketing. At least streaming services also list “related” productions that are older.
One person's "architecture your code defensively" is another person's "make a dumb solution so that you don't waste effort being smart".
Not crapping on this project because it's hella awesome, but a more scalable solution (which might not be worth it at all) would be to make a HTTP interface to a remote control, then have the remote control beam IR signals at whatever. This would mean that for any new device you add, you just have to pair the remote instead of wiring up another Pi to it.
We have to ask the question: is Apple actually this stupid? I don't particularly like or trust Coinbase, so I'm not going to take their word as gospel. I have to wonder if (a) it's an oversight, a possibility they raised in the thread (trying to give Apple an out?) or (b) there's something weirder going on that we can't figure out from outside.

> Truth is, particularly the US, the only thing we really test consumer products for is lead and mercury.

We don't even do that very well, for example see all the heavy metals that have been allowed (and are still allowed) in baby food.
Rust would have prevented about half of the CVEs in C code (I've seen a few different studies with somewhat different results, half is close enough for discussion). The other half is on you to write good code.

Note that the half Rust would prevent tends to be less impactful, still a CVE, but the exploit is less impactful to end users.
It's not necessarily about having the latest chip tech from a consumer perspective but more about TSMC's business demand. Businesses like Apple are only signing contracts for the best chip designs, and they are a massive customer for TSMC. Moving production to the US is great because it means apple has a more reliable supply source in the wake of increasing China/Taiwan tensions. It makes sense for TSMC as well because Apple and others were considering alternative manufactureres (Intel) in the wake of those political problems.
But as for regular consumers, I think you're right. Most of us don't care whether we have a 10nm or 4nm chip in our devices, we just need good battery life.

> You can hear doubt when a presenter isn’t certain of an answer. You can see the body language. None of that is present with an AI.

This is not how people consume information nowadays anyways. People just watch YouTube videos where presenters don't face this kind of pressure. Or they read some text on social media from someone they like.

Anyways, we can't rely on these social tips anymore. And even if we could, they are not ideal, because they allow bullshitters to thrive, whereas modestly confident people end up ostracized.

Or anyone with a couple brain cells to rub together. I mean, sure, they might not be related and this is all a huge misunderstanding, but CAs should be trusted beyond any doubt and Trustcor isn't even close.
