>(1) it was all cliche.

Ha, well, considering how it works, I would be interested if it wasn't.

I think things like "Write me a song about a dumper baby's birthday in the styles of Shakespeare and Tupac" work well not because they are terribly deep into any aspect, but two cliche takes wrapped up into something mediumly unique instantly.
I think the parent commenter would be pretty surprised how much code would really need a rewrite. Google and Amazon do not have hundreds of thousands of engineers messing around in the mud with sockets and connections and IP addresses and DNS. There's a service mesh and a standardised RPC framework. You say "get me the X service" and you make RPCs to it. Whether they're transported over HTTP, UDP, unix domain sockets, or local function calls is fully abstracted.

the way they inject "CHROME IS BETTER" when you visit google.com?
If this is fair and legal, why not have Google do the same things?

You're using Chrome and on the website to buy Office? How about an injected ad that says that Google docs is free and just as good.

Attempting to buy a Windows PC? How about an injected ad explaining how good ChromeOS is?

Microsoft are honestly insane to try to play these games with Google. Then again, I've read that 4% of Americans believe they could win a fight with a Grizzly bear.
Are the number of responses by ChatGPT to a given prompt infinite? I suppose that even monkeys at a typewriter can't produce an infinite number of different books, even if that number is really, really large (hello, Mr. Borges). But, I assumed (without a lot of subject matter knowledge) that the number of possible responses was actually much less than just randomly typing keys, because it's picking words from a frequency table. Again, I have no idea what I'm talking about.
I would say in the coming weeks, I believe in the capacity of Zig for decentralized applications due to its intrinsic nature (simple, secure and very close to the computer), which makes me think that we could have here a viable alternative to everything that is currently done on Rust.
In the chrome browser they could inject anything anywhere.
To some degree, yes. You can ask it to do some introspection on a previous answer. It's basically an advanced form of prompt tuning, using the frozen model to fix its own outputs.

Have it write a short story, then ask it to identify grammatical problems in the short story, then to find run-on sentences, etc. It sometimes feels like "Check for errors" ought to be a follow up to every prompt...
I don't see how that solves the problem mentioned by OP. If the build rule mentions foo.c, we only need to recompile that one object and relink. When you are using globs, changing one file changes the aggregated hash and then would necessitate recompiling every object file.
> If I get pulled over in a Bentley with an expired sticker, I pay the same price as someone in a Kia.

Depends entirely on where you live. If you do the equivalent crime in Finland, you will be fined 6-14 "day fines". Each day fine is calculated to be (your_monthly_gross_income - 255€)/60, minimum of 6€ and unbound from above.

I believe that this system is much more just than flat fines. A fine is not payment for a service, it is a punishment. It should hurt as much whether you are poor or rich.
You're right, I was missing that they were just hiding the funds for information purposes, not tax purposes. In that case the fine is probably more appropriate.

It really depends on the type of writing. Romance vs Non-fiction vs Academic all have different values.

In my opinion, the breakdown is somewhat like:

Romance is presumably (Story x Style)

Non-fiction is (Story x Accuracy x Clarity)

Academic is probably (Novelty x Clarity x Impact)
Worst case scenario, they could just move the banner to be "within the browser's GUI" (while still seeming to extend over the page) rather than actually in the page and that issue would go away.

Denmark suggests 2 doses for all over 18.

Finland and Sweden suggest 3 doses for everybody over 18; Finland recommends vaccine for everyone.

None recommend against vaccine in children.

This is very, very, very far from "recommend against getting vaccination for young men" which is simply wrong (uninformed or bad faith?) They all recommend young men get vaccinated.

The problem is not just TCP vs not-TCP. It’s using TCP/HTTP to transmit data in JSON, vs picking a stack that is more optimized for service-to-service communication in a datacenter.

I am willing to wager that most organizations’ microservices spend the majority of their CPU usage doing serialization and deserialization of JSON.
Essentially, the US government undermaintained the railroads (the modern public transit scourge of "deferred maintenance" practiced a hundred years ago). It ran the railroads with a more or less single-minded mindset to supplying war goods, and after the war was over, kept a heavy touch on the railroads which made them unable to adapt to the increasing competition from heavily-subsidized highways and airlines, which combined with the headache of "deferred maintenance" meant that railroads suffered from about 1920 to 1980. (It wasn't until the failure of Penn Central that things really started getting better.)
it seems this got flagged for all sorts of reasons, but one significant observation is that they threw away data for people who eat more than 5000 kcal/day as "implausible". Those people are likely to be among the most unhealthy, and also the least likely to skip meals, moreover if skipping a meal caused you to go from 5500 to 4500, this would create a pretty significant effect in the data.

Does Safari freeze/reloads pages? As far as I can tell, at least to me it just slows down Javascript execution but keeps them open, to the point it messes up with some websites, like this: https://www.vitling.xyz/toys/acid-banger/ . I never "caught" it reloading pages like the old Chrome Sleeping Tabs extension did.

Or do you mean Safari for iOS? I'm thinking of macOS Safari here.
The GP I was responding to said:

> The caste system was outlawed ages ago. It very much is illegal.

As you'll note, the actual prohibition is on a narrow class of discrimination. That is what I was trying to emphasize. I live in India and am very much aware of the discrimination that still exists.
> Tasks are defined and run as if you were running them in the terminal; no more abstractions like BUILD files.

But abstractions are a good thing! They let you separate a system into layers, so that things programmed at a higher layer don't need to know all the details of the lower layers. It's the way we separate interface from implementation.

Let me give an example from Bazel. Suppose you are compiling some C or C++, and you need to define a preprocessor symbol. There are two ways of doing this, "defines" and "local_defines":

cc_library(
name = "my_lib",
srcs = ["my_lib.cc"],
hdrs = ["my_lib.h"],
# This will pass -DFOO when compiling this library
# *or* any library that depends on it.
defines = ["FOO"],
)

cc_library(
name = "my_lib",
srcs = ["my_lib.cc"],
hdrs = ["my_lib.h"],
# This will pass -DFOO when compiling this library
# only. Libraries that depend on us will *not* get
# the symbol.
local_defines = ["FOO"],
)

You can use "defines" when you have #ifdef statements in headers and "local_defines" when you only test the symbols in your .cc files.

I did not have to think about how defines will propagate to the libraries that depend on me, I just specified what I need and the build system handles the rest. I did not have to define my own CXXFLAGS variable and handle concatenating all of the right things together. The lower layer takes care of that.

What Bazel lets you do is create abstraction boundaries within the build system. People can write rules that define a self-contained set of build logic, then other people can use those abstractions without knowing all the details of how they are implemented.

Bazel is not perfect, and I have found myself banging my head against the wall many times. But overall the ability to define abstractions in a build system is, I think, one of the biggest things it gets right.

Disclosure: I work for Google, but not on Bazel.
> We've already seen people build a number of similar systems on UDP including HTTP replacements that have delivered value for clients doing lots of parallel requests on the WAN.

HTTP isn't low latency. Spending all that effort porting everything to a discreet message based network, only to have HTTP semantics running over the top is a massive own goal.

as for WAN, thats a whole different kettle of fish. You need to deal with huge latencies, whole integer percentage of packet loss, and lots of other wierd shit.

In that instance you need to create a protocol to tailor to your needs. Are you after bandwidth efficiency, or raw speed? or do you need to minimise latency? All three things require completely different layouts and tradeoffs.

I used to work for a company that shipped TBs from NZ & Aus to LA via london. We used to use aspera, but thats expensive. So we made a tool that used hundreds of TCP connections to max out our network link.

For specialist applications, I can see a need for something like homa. But for 95% of datacenter traffic, its just not worth the effort.

That paper is also fundamentally flawed, as the OP has rightly pointed out. Just because Ousterhout is clever, doesn't make him right.

bookmarks are vastly inferior to having the tabs open. state data can change when reloading it.

I have so many tabs, I have a second computer just for the tabs, which I keep running with all the tabs. For extra measures, they are bookmarked too, but I want them open so I can refer to them. It's like having a library.
Our software has integral CI/CD capabilities. All built in-house. Once our services are installed on a machine, they can be upgraded from a centralized system.

First time setup is manual, but it could be automated if we got bored of the task. The binary distribution requires zero dependencies on the machine and brings its own database with it so bootstrapping is very easy.
The original term behind "emptiness" is a lot richer than this english word. That's why many books leave those words as is, e.g. rig-pa.

"Emptiness" of your mind means something like a thin soap bubble around you. This bubble acts as a lens, it can enlarge arbitrary things, it can create stable patterns on its surface, and all that is useful, but it blocks whatever is outside the bubble. In its natural state it would be a perfect invisible sphere, letting you see outside: this union of clarity and emptiness creates wisdom. You are still going to use this bubble as a whiteboard for your thoughts, but you'll also know how to see thru it.

The concept of emptiness applies to material world in general: the western science calls it space-time, the idea that any thing can turn into any other thing, for both are fundamentally just motions of energy that has no natural shape. Buddhism tries to teach this basic idea in different terms.

For some reason that I don't quite understand, the founders of the three religions had fragmented the truth: buddhism teaches wisdom, christianity teaches love and islam teaches action - the three aspects of the spirit. Perhaps they thought that mixing everything into one bag would be too difficult to grasp, or maybe they hope it will make the peoples collaborate to assemble the pieces.

This is contrary to the article, you're assuming everyone involved scanned the deluge of information and the only "rational" result would be to come to the same conclusion about an insanely complex situation as you did, whereas the article argues that there's so much information and so many dots that people scan the same wealth of data and come to different conclusions.

I did the same for desktops too. I finally retired the last desktop I built that was 12 years old. It could still do most games, but it was loud, power hungry, and annoying. I've replaced it with a Steam Deck and a Steam Dock, and at some point I might build a proper replacement gaming / workstation, but not any time soon.

For personal use, most of what I want to do is possible on a laptop now. I really don't feel as much need for a desktop as I once did. I still use a "dock" and a mechanical keyboard when I'm not on the go, though.

With the exception of the Steam Deck, I don't use Linux, though. The reason I have the Thinkpads is they work perfectly in FreeBSD & OpenBSD "out of the box". The Dell is running Windows for doing automotive tuning.
How do you get away with defending tax fraud to the point where the fine is pointless? Does the SEC not get to keep the winnings to use for their future cases so they can hire a ton of lawyers? I guess the real problem is why are judges (presumably everywhere?) lettings companies and organizations get away with this or is there a specific set of judges that only handle SEC cases? Perhaps the first step to getting bigger fines is to just keep increasing fines across the board? Do they need to campaign to judges to remind them that financial crime is bad? How hard is it for anyone to understand that a fine is meaningless unless it hurts, no matter how big the number is? Do you really need more lawyers to prove that basic point? I guess you guys are stuck in a pretty crappy system, but then again I'm sure most places are :/

Innocent question by a non meditator.

Every couple months when it takes an hour or two to fall asleep, I get this otherworldly feeling; like a specific part of my body is growing unbelievably heavy, large and uncontrollable. It feels like this body part will end up crushing me, suffocating me, imploding, etc. It feels like it's happening to me, but I am not in my body. I start to feel emotions start to wash by me, it starts with curiosity, shifts to discomfort then quickly on to anxiety, fear, depression, terror, and once the last three in a horrifying mix.

It started when I was young, probably 10 or 12, and has slightly decreased over time. I'm closer to 25 now, and it's lost it's hold slightly. Two or three times it got me out of bed and pacing around grabbing things for fear of death or an unimaginable irrational fear of my swelling tounge. Currently I have a high level of control over it, I can choose whether I want to dive in or what level of emotion I want to experience.

Is this an accidental over application of meditation? Is it dementia at an extremely young age?

I would love to hear your thoughts.
What an odd comment. As a software engineer, my professional guess is the computers aren’t working the way they should.
That's not injected. That's rendered by Google on the sites they control.
I've been caught by this on mobile Firefox lots of times. And Chrome isn't known for letting users opt-out of decisions they've made (based on their great telemetry no doubt).
Right, I've been saying this for a while, it seems that many of the hyperscalers/etc made the mistake of trying to utilize TCP (and maybe HTTP/etc) for their (generic) RPC mechanisms. Which is hardly the best plan, when what is actually needed is just a reliable datagram protocol without a bunch of connection state.

So, while the actual RPC protocol has its own issues, the one thing they got right was the ability for the portmapper to indicate UDP vs TCP as the transport on a service basis. There have been a few improved generic RPC mechanisms, and I don't really understand why some of these places feel the need to "replace TCP" when really what they need is a more formalized RPC mechanism that can set/detect the datagram reliability and pick varying levels of protocol retry/etc as needed.
This is a totally valid concern. A mitigation is to have some other device or mechanism to generate a device that's part of sync fabric in escrow somewhere else. Of course, this introduces two new problems: Where do you keep it in escrow, and how do you authenticate to that escrow service given that your authenticators are gone. Safe deposit boxes are one alternative: They're authenticated by your presence and government-issued ID. Apple uses a 24-character key and keeps the encrypted record in its HSMs. Crypto wallets tend to use a 24-word recovery phrase to derive a key. These last two options you could also escrow with a third party or maybe even memorize.

For what it's worth, it's not an inherent problem with hardware backed security, at least not in the context that I was talking about. If you were using pure software implementations of WebAuthn, you could also authenticate to that sync fabric only using WebAuthn and you'd have that exact same problem you're describing.
