I agree that there could be languages better suited for general purpose programming than Rust.

However eventually most succumb to the ecosystem critical mass. Whether you end up using ocaml, or pony, or elixir or whatnot, you'll soon hit that wall, where you can't hire developers easily enough (or move them between teams), or you can't find that answer on stack overflow easily enough, or have somebody fix that toolchain bug for you, or find a workaround that language or stdlib issue you're blocked on.

Rust, for all its flaws and difficulties, has reached that critical mass, and even people who are not entirely sold on it, may end up choosing it just because overall it makes more sense than many of the alternatives.
100x is not that big of a difference, and I've been burned by "clever" algorithms before because they weren't coded exactly right. Because if they drift into a broken state, nobody can tell. While a simple sum is unlikely to fail in subtle ways.

There are benefits to simplicity. If there isn't a reason to need 100x faster performance, then why complicate things? That would be my why.

This was possible in the beginning. But then came the moral police and deprived us of this freedom, because they deemed it to be "confusing".

See, for example, The Unix Programming Environment, by Kernighan and Pike, page 51 [0]:

Despite their fundamental properties inside the kernel, directories sit in the file system as ordinary files. They can be read as ordinary files. (...) The time has come to look at the bytes in a directory:

Overbooking is intentional policy. It has nothing to do with data consistency.

To the contrary, consistency is extremely important so that they overbook by exactly the right amount, to compensate for the statistically expected no-shows.

No. No it doesn't. Free market gives rise to companies Nestle who monopolise access to clean water and sell it at profit, all future be damned.

Indeed. History has also shown that unrestrained free market is the worst system there is, and has shown it again, and again, and again.

Great person but he was unpopular as a president at the time because he failed to stop high inflation and to resolve the Iranian hostage crisis. The latter especially sunk his chances of re-election. So much of politics is about what happens when you’re in office, but also how you deal with what happens.
I can't tell if you're being sincere or sarcastic. Allowing users to install whatever they want at their own risk is exactly what people complaining about walled gardens not allowing them to do. Attempting to protect people that don't know what they are doing from known security holes is what one of the things walled gardens claim as a feature.

Neuroscientists simply don't understand the mammal nervous system with any degree of completeness and accuracy.

> On Android with DeX there is no palm rejection, so I ended up keeping the touchpad switched off most of the time.

This has been my experience on Linux as well with my NexDock Touch. As best I can tell the touchpad is only presented to the OS as a mouse, so it can't do palm rejection in software (and you'll never get those fancy multitouch gestures in e.g. GNOME).

The only lapdock I've ever used that did this right is the HP Elite X3's lapdock. It's thus my favorite of the ones that exist, but it can't seem to supply enough power over USB-C to charge a lot of devices during use including the Librem 5. Still holding out for one with both the touchpad (and keyboard) quality of the HP lapdock and the power output of the NexDock. (I suspect I'll be waiting a while though, it's a very niche product.)

Spencer is a lukewarmer - he believes the Earth is warming, and it's partially due to human activity. I'm also a lukewarmer (we are not only still coming out of the last ice age, but we a recovering from the Little Ice Age, when you sometimes could walk from Manhattan to Staten Island on the harbor ice). (I'm unconvinced about the role of CO2, though). His book, Global Warming Skepticism, is a fair assessment of the skeptical case, I think.

The main thing about Spencer is UAH: to me, it's the only reliable data on global warming, and it's telling us there's not much happening. On top of which, I expect the rest of the world to get off fossil fuel long before there's any noticeable problems due to global warming. All the fuss is about computer model projections, which are not being confirmed by reality over forty years of satellite measurements.

Remember that for freelancers in the US you've typically got like 40% overhead on your income, since you have to pay full tax on it and then you need to pay for your own health insurance and dental insurance.

So after that they've got 6-7k a month. Rent in many areas is 2000-3000/mo, so if they ended up previously settling down in an area like that (perhaps because they worked for a tech company or startup), I can understand feeling slightly squeezed. You can certainly live comfortably on 6k/mo as a freelancer but if you're the primary earner for a family it's probably going to make you nervous.

Freelancers also have to worry about gaps between payment, and funders/clients paying late. During my freelancing years I had some clients pay me $11k/mo and other clients just Not Pay me upwards of $5000, so even though I was "making" 11k/mo optimally, I ended up almost evicted after two clients opted not to pay me back to back. It makes a lot of sense to feel like your situation is precarious if you can only save up 1-2k a month, because your nest egg isn't growing super fast and your income may dry up without warning. It's not like having a salaried job as a high performer where the only real risk to worry about is layoffs.

But economics Trump everything you just said in terms of living standards.

And the issues she is talking about won't affect her children. Sea level rise is currently a foot per century. Rainfall patterns are not relevant. The rain falls on the Amazon or ocean side of the mountains, and can be collected before it runs to the sea. Wealth allows for the collection and distribution of water. Industrialization allows for water intensive agriculture to be sacrificed.

Everything she is talking about is esoteric hippy stuff that has nothing to do with reality and everything to do with virtue signalling equity and making sure no single person is left behind.

Even if it's all real, and pans out with exponential feedback loops, it's not happening until her kid is on its deathbed. And it won't matter. Water is limitless, just requires energy and tech. Columbia is not a large flat plain that will be consumed by sea level rise. The mountains go through the middle of the country. It's highly sloped, and not susceptible to land loss due to sea level rise.

During the 40th Apollo 11 anniversary, Neil Armstrong remarked to a reporter that, "I guess we all like to be recognized not for one piece of fireworks, but for the ledger of our daily work."

It strikes me as such a beautiful ideal. A simple statement to live up to and by, but difficult to achieve. It's easy to let your life be defined by one event or a narrow set of circumstances. Especially if you've achieved wild success, like becoming the President of the United States. Even if it's for a single one term.

President Carter is unique because he is the only modern president I can think of whose impact after the presidency exceeded his impact during his presidency. He has chosen to "wage peace, fight disease, build hope" and has done so more successfully than most philanthropic efforts. Not many people can claim to have fought a disease and won.

What a legacy to have.

Already Thales is attributed the "Know thyself" (so we start from the beginning);

I can imagine some reasons:

- They don't care about performance and think their users don't care about performance.

- They have sold something that doesn't make sense but sounds good.

- They are afraid of their users.

- Their users don't understand the problem you're describing or simply don't believe it.

- The business domain of their users actually knows the about the issue, but they still want or need the exact counts.
This sounds like Ural to me. Excellent stuff.

Acronyms are actually the devil. In the medical world it’s been further optimised such that one abbreviation can mean many things. And then people ‘handwrite’ (it’s actually just scribbles) half their documentation so that you can’t read it.

He was unpopular for a number of other reasons, some of which were just bad luck. Inflation was high, the economy was poor, there was a massive oil shortage, and the Iranian hostage crisis went poorly. There were a lot of smaller issues too, like the 55mph speed limit. While he had good intentions and was far more forward thinking than other presidents, he wasn’t an adept administrator and didn’t manage to get buy-in on any of his plans. It’s another sad instance of good people making bad politicians.

You are looking at the wrong side of the market. You need to look at the market from the perspective of the seller v

For examples, do the 7 bigges supermarkets in britain, Tesco, Lidl, etc, have a monopoly?

I can buy all my food from the snaller shops and market markets, as a buyer.

But if I am a seller, and I need to sell mass market food, and all the big supermarkets refuse to carry it, you will go bankrupt.

I added a bunch of songs to my favorites in Spotify and then hit the enhance button which is supposed to suggest other songs I might like.

That high speed machine is wild. Some of the most common parts in the world are crazy accurate but since they are produced in such huge volumes they can still be cheap. Screws and ball bearing that you can buy for $10 a pack are order of magnitude beyond what even a king could buy in the middle ages. I'm not even going into how you can buy processors/memory with features on the order of nanometres for single digit dollar amounts these days.
Can't speak to Vaultree, but we (Blyss, YC W23, [0]) are also offering FHE as a service.

Our insight: if you focus on a specific problem, you can apply FHE much more efficiently and end up with practical speeds. (General-purpose FHE is still probably a ways off).

We are particularly interested in the problem of private information retrieval - fetching items from a large database, without revealing anything about your query to the server. Our server (open source! [1]) supports private queries against gigabytes of data in under a second.

That's a performance level that enables cool apps today. If you have any ideas for using FHE, do try out our SDK [1].

I used this software to design my tiny house that I built with great success. It really helped me visualize the space. I didn't create an engineering ready floor plan with this so to speak. In other words, I intentionally left the measurements slightly relative which wouldn't work for most construction projects. In other words, if my bedroom ended up being 14ft by 10ft and 2 and 1/2 inches instead of 14x10' I was fine with that, it just meant other rooms slightly smaller. But give or take the width of dry wall and other factors it was worked fine. I found getting super precise measurements with this app difficult and so I didn't even try. I just let the guy building walls have a tad bit of freedom. Like I said, for most projects that would not work. Having said that, this app was a huge life savor and allowed me to really visualize the space and make key design decisions.

Opinion piece from the Anti-Defamation League, not the most neutral source
Unless you have sources, I don't think there's much evidence either that he fought big money or was driven out of office by them.

He lost primarily because the economy was bad in the second half of his term, with inflation and oil supply shocks. Also, his adminstration botched the handling of the Iranian revolution, which lead to the hostage crisis, a huge public debacle.

He was a competent president, but not flashy, and presidents are not guaranteed a second term. So I don't think we need to imagine shadowy corporate interests to explain the election

There are some other views about that:

Yeah these are all very valid issues! I imagine it would depend on the specific use case and how much computing power you need. Also the energy going into the production of the phone should be considered as well.

Being able to remove the battery and run from AC would be very helpful I think. Phones used to be able to do this but a lot of modern ones don't have removable batteries which is a problem of it's own.

My VPS use is actually fairly bursty though. It spends 99% of the time asleep since I don't do much with it. Even a small website/webserver or hosting cgit and git over ssh would be very light and almost entirely burst loads for me!
> I know he wasn't popular in the US which I don't really understand.

Note, these are not my opinions, but I am going to seek to answer this based on the things I have read on him.

In short, the general opinion is that he was a weak, pitiful, activist president. His overtures toward peace, anti-imperialism, humanitarian causes were laden with activism rhetoric that one would normally use if they were outside the structures of power. Once one is within the structure of power, then one is expected to speak less, and do more. Consider a parallel story of outspoken-activist-turned-president Theodore Roosevelt, speak softly and carry a big stick and all that. Carter spoke loudly and forgot his stick. This, combined with a perceived lack of policy and agenda, on top of a time of various crises, made him look rather unfit for the job.

Again, please remember that this is the summary of a general stance many hold. I was not yet alive and so cannot necessarily speak to the zeitgeist of the time, firsthand.

My personal opinion is that, if you squint, his presidency is a lot like that of Trump, in that his presidency lacked a focus and tried, and rather failed, to react to events at the time. And of course, rather different in that he was not a corrupt buffoon. To expand on this, I actually think that if we waved a magic what-if wand, and got Carter today, he would be hailed as a fantastic president, if only by comparison, so you know, context matters.

I personally believe that non-biological things can be sentient, but I would argue that Large Language Models are not.

The only working example of sentience we have is ourselves, and we function in a completely different way than LLMs. I put/output similarity between us and LLMs is not enough IMO, as you can see in the Chinese Room thought experiment. For us to consider a machine sentient, it needs to function in a similar way to us, or else our definition of sentience gets way too broad to be true.
What are they getting from Apple, then? That’s the question that raises my anti-competitive fears. Presumably if Apple and Google wanted that question to be easily-answered they wouldn’t have written a secret deal.
Not sure what the point of this article is. The newspaper stories it references aren’t making claims of sentience, but just that something of significance in the journey towards human level AI has been achieved. And the whole ‘it’s just a fancy autocomplete’ argument is missing the point. Would the author have predicted the apparently emergent behaviours of LLMs as they are scaled? Look for example at Bing’s response to this question posed on Reddit.

https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/comments/110vv25/bing_chat_...

Sure it’s ‘just statistics’ but so what? If in the near future LLMs become so advanced that they will be able to (suitably prompted) manipulate humans it will be a rubicon moment.

Sure, it won’t be a ‘human like’ intelligence, but was that really what anyone expected?

Human intelligence and consciousness are emergent properties. Machine intelligence as it develops will be emergent too, it’s not something we can make confident predictions on based on the underlying principles. In fact, given that the evidence suggests we make choices before we’re consciously aware of them, how do I know for certain that the underlying mechanism driving what I’m writing in this comment isn’t statistical?
