First, you have to really understand what liquidity is. Liquidity isn't cash, or value per say, but rather a measure of how easy something is to trade. Cash just happens to be the most liquid thing because it is the most actively traded thing. For example, it's not like everyone trades for cars directly using chickens, but both chickens and cars are directly traded for cash, so cash is more liquid (ie easy to trade with) than either cars or chickens.

Next, excess liquidity can disappear by market participants simply refusing to do trade (ie a drop in demand). For example, if I have a house, which many people would be willing to trade for me today, tomorrow they could all change their minds and wouldn't even trade me a spoonful of dirt for it. In which case, the liquidity of my house (easiness to trade it), dried up by simply a change in market demand.

Now here's the best part, while every transaction has a buyer and seller, every transaction has two supplies and two demands. For example, person A may be willing to trade his supply of cars, but demands X dollars in exchange for any one of them, and person B is willing to trade his supply of dollars, but demands a car of certain condition for them. In this case, there are two supplies (dollars, and cars) and two demands (again dollars, and a car of a certain condition). If the supplies of each participant, meets the demands of the opposing participant, the transaction happens, and the trade is settled between the two parties.

So to address your questions. It's entirely possible for something that was easy to trade (cash), was traded for [houses/stocks/commodities/etc], and afterwards, no one is willing to trade things anymore. Which includes people with houses who are not willing to trade them for cash, and people with cash no longer willing to trade them for houses. Liquidity disappeared simply by a change in market demand. But you're not necessarily wrong, as if demand doesn't change, then it doesn't really dry up.

Very much agree with this — an opportunity stupidly discarded.
Rust code tends to rely extensively on generic containers to encapsulate various safety properties. That will be hard to replicate in C.

Still, I’d like to see how it works out in practice. But where’s the code? Judging by the website for ECLAIR, which is the basis of C-rusted according to the paper, it may not be open source:

https://www.bugseng.com/eclair

In that case, it may still be useful in the tradition-heavy world of safety-critical embedded applications (which the paper alludes to in mentioning MISRA and certified toolchains), where each codebase is a proprietary island. But it won’t be usable for general-purpose C programs or libraries, nor will it be possible for the community to evaluate on its merits.
The unary complement operator should get you there:

unsigned int x = 0;
const unsigned int max = ~x;

while (x <= max) {
calc(x++);
}

Or,

#include <limits.h>

const unsigned int max = UINT_MAX;

I got a 15 watt Intel NUC for free as a business discard. It has an NVMe, 16GB DDR4, and a spinny 1TB SATA drive for backup. My ISP hasn't gone down or made me change addresses in years, but I'm waiting on that day so I can have Copilot write me a script to automatically update my DNS settings in Cloudflare (with DDOS protection) every 5 minutes via cron so I don't have to explore the world of DDNS again.

OTOH, if you have to deal with double NAT, good luck with that hot garbage.

> I have seen the subject come up regarding organizations that carelessly bulk-send DMCA notices based on quick searches for possibly infringing material with little, or sometimes any, effort to confirm. Though I suppose that wouldn’t be “good faith”. But wouldn’t that be a negligence standard?

Both in terms of real problem and constitutionality I think a negligence standard is more defensible than strict liability.

> If the DMCA regime shifts all the costs for a false statement (even if not a “knowingly” false statement) to the recipient (and/or their hosting provider), that’s a problem.

To be fair, the DMCA doesn’t shift any costs in that direction; in the absence of the DMCA safe harbor provision that the notice/counternotice process is part of, the notice recipient would be exposed to all the same costs as they can be under that regime, and the host would be exposed to additional costs. The safe harbor regime only gives the host an option which, if followed, removes any liability they would otherwise have, first (on the notice side) to the purported copyright owner, and second (on the counternotice side) to the target of the notice.

Which is why counternotice compliance is spottier than notice compliance: hosts are confident that, even before the safe harbor, they have no liability for an unnecessary takedown, so they don’t care about the part of the safe harbor tied to counternotice compliance.

The very first line of the article[1] calls it out, "....for enterprise-grade deployment pipelines." So I guess it's relevant for Fortune 500ish companies.

That said, a base version of this pipeline is very useful even for a small startups. I concede that it takes a bit of time (took me about a week) to setup end to end. By end to end I mean beginning with empty AWS account to setting up VPC, ECS, CloudFront, Fargate, Codepipeline and so on. But once set you don't have to touch it for months on end. Scaling up/down, if needed, is as simple as minor config change.

And probably 50% off the times when you don’t get a citation, the ticket is reduced.
The problem here is the word "realities" because it doesn't in any way mean an alternate reality where you're there doing something else.

This is from the math model where the resulting path of a particle can be figured out by finding all possible paths. Then what follows is the conjecture that because the math works maybe those particles really do travel by every possible path. There's no proof of this, and it's very hard to test because the result has to be the same.

So maybe our reality is the sum of particles taking every possible path. Or may be it isn't. Wake me up when the article title is "Our reality IS the sum of all possible realities."
i'm not sure what the current state of the art is, but my favourite way of solving captchas was the porn vendors who were monetizing their sites by presenting captchas in front of their videos, but the captchas were captured from legitimate sites. so every time a person solved a captcha to watch a video, it enabled a bot to access a captcha-protected resource.
This is so important and thank you for being so open.

You are right - it's very easy to feel like things are normal if you think you are making progress or eventually complete the task. If the task could have been done with 10% of the time/effort, you may not even know.

Something I found works for me is trying to be transparent about what is going on in general. Like I'll over share a bit of what I am working on and how I am thinking about it. If I am really fucked up in my thinking, usually someone says something.
did you read the article?

emergent behavior in this context is defined as: "emergent abilities, which we define as abilities that are not present in small models but are present in larger models"

Those companies haven't really trimmed back to even where they were at the start of 2022 yet. They over hired a little, but nobody is going to cut 50% or more like Musk did. Those useless moonshot products they're "wasting money" on sometimes turn out to be the next ChatGPT. Of course, ChatGPT is a bit of empty hype, but there is an enormous amount of money to be made. Can you imagine if Google just had nothing like that ready because they were too afraid to accidentally over hire?
You can do this. But it isn't C anymore, it's just a DSL on top of C and because it is a thing that is layered on top of an existing language that language is still there and you will have to make sure that someone doesn't simply use the original unsafe language constructs.

I've built a thing like this for a project that had zero tolerance for any of C's well deserved faults, and yet, had to be written in C. I borrowed heavily from various other solutions (notably: Erlang) to ensure that the project was as safe as I could possibly make it. But I was always acutely aware that it only took one team member to declare a void * to an unbounded array for things to break out of that carefully constructed illusion of a safe jail.

Most of the work was done using some pretty tricky (and nifty!) macros and I really liked the end result, but I would have very much wished for that end result to be based on something more solid than C as the foundation. If you go down this route in the present day, unless you absolutely have to use something else. You'll be far happier and you will not have to be eternally vigilant against someone taking a shortcut.
If true, the most important thing for us is to find out how to construct a filter such that the bad realities are suppressed.

Why do ISPs do this? Is there a legitimate reason or they just feel that their clients don’t host these services so they might as well block the ports for safety?
The M in IBM standing for _Machines_, which have been fully commoditized and virtualized with the evolution of the Internet. IBM's biggest software advancements were proprietary and specific to their platforms (OS/360, etc.). Mainframes were called "big iron"; you could feel the mass of the computing engines when touching the beige powder-coated plates of their cabinets. The punch cards were never very far off, it was always just a faster version of the original mechanical processor.

Any smaller computer they made was always just to plug a market breach created by some young wazoos. IBM PC responding to Apple II. RS/6000 responding to Sun. None of these were truly "serious" machines in the eyes of Real Men in Suits. They knew that when the time came to handle big business, you needed big beige boxes sitting on raised floors in an atmosphere-controlled room that you could watch over through a window, their blinkenlights softly atoning for whatever sins The Man had committed in the struggle for civilisation.

> admittedly in Go it's a lot easier to follow and understand these frameworks compared to Java

That's because the golang ones are doing lesser work. There's nothing inherent in Java that makes such frameworks in it more difficult to follow. As a matter of fact, it could be the opposite with the presence of mature IDEs that allow you to navigate to the injection point and see the relevant graph.

I recall working on a golang project that did not use DI, and it was a total mess to read and write.
>Unless the reason you're pulling someone over in the first place is 'The guy is was driving like he's in a high-speed chase, before we turned on the sirens', the safest thing for the public is to just not chase. It's not worth killing a bystander over.

Which happens way too frequently, even when the police aren't chasing anybody[0].

Reducing the number of high-speed chases will likely save lives. I'm all for it.

Maybe Twitter Blue was a cash grab, but for me as a light user (and not a Blue) it’s way more transparent and sensible now.

I read Feynman's QED back in high school and was fascinated by it, but always had a lingering question.

Sure the math works out by summing all possible paths, and then most of them usually cancel each other out, and so you're left with the ones that mostly contribute to the actual probabilities, as complicated as those can still be.

But I always suspected... surely that just has to be one mathematical way of looking at it. That at some point we'd discover that turns out to be mathematically identical to something else that would be a bit more local, a bit more intuitive, a bit more straightforward. That never even had to deal in the first place with the infinity of paths that all wind up cancelling each other out anyways.

So now that I'm on a forum with smart people, the kind I didn't have access to back in high school... has there been any progress towards something like this at all? Are there any directions for this? Or is there a conceptual reason I'm missing why this fundamentally isn't possible, why the sum of all possible paths is the only way to account for certain behaviors?
Technically, Einstein won the Nobel prize for "his services to theoretical physics and especially the photoelectric effect", but in actuality he won it for his work on relativity.

The reason the Nobel committee did not just give him the award for relativity was because until 1919, there was no way to experimentally verify relativity theory, and then in 1919 when it was experimentally verified, there was a significant increase in anti-semitism following the end of the first World War and a great deal of hesitation to award it to Einstein for what was considered an incredibly complex theory that few people could understand.

Because of that, a compromise was reached, and Einstein would receive a deferred award for the photoelectric effect, which was much less contentious. But everyone understood that Einstein had won the award for his work on relativity.
I disagree that they make code harder to read. It's the opposite in fact in my experience, especially with the prevalence of mature IDEs that allow you to navigate the graph and injection points. It's quite a nice experience.

To me the issue is that any real-world deployment of this is going to want some form of encryption, or you are just leaking the poor user's data to a ton of random people. In addition to encrypting the data, this means you are going to need to build in a key sharing mechanism. Like, this is table stakes: anything less is unacceptable, and is a complexity you don't escape even with a native app. I think you then rapidly discover that just satisfying that one need causes most of the complexity of WebRTC (and to the extent to which it isn't documented well enough to show that that doesn't mean the protocol or even API sucks and should be replaced: it just means we need better documentation for people who don't care enough to learn how it all works and how to bypass the issues).

One part of this website I found interesting is the light/dark toggle. Clicking on the button sends an http response and the page is loaded with the newly selected theme.

Just cool to see it in the wild, though
Two pieces of feedback:

1. If single letters like "c" or "i" are in the taboo list, that shouldn't prevent you from using any word that includes them too.

2. If the target word is hyphenated, like "Objective-C", it should be accepted with a space in place of the hyphen too.

After reading the replies, i'm understanding that drudgery has to do with lack of agency.

Can't websites be art too? A mindless CRUD app is framed as such if BigCo tells us to do it for the billionth time.

But if it's our agency that compels us, even tho it's still just glue and CRUD, our pov makes it different for us, and we still have a potential to express ourselves in some way, some tiny way.

So it's not that websites as a thing is somehow un-enlightened. Lowly for the robots.

No, it seems there's Art in anything, art is an expressed point of view. I do agree that human value comes down to Art.
Rust is much less of a moving target the longer it’s around. It’s been pretty stable for some time with only improvements at the edges that don’t break backward compatibility. Most of these seem to be filling in gaps in the type system’s capabilities or rounding out the standard library.

Has there been a breaking change in the past few years?
