I don't think I suggested otherwise. I don't personally know of any non-esoteric language that doesn't support C interop - from Haskell to Common Lisp to Go to Java.

What I'm pointing out is that the kernel can't help with C interop in any way, since process memory is by-and-large not managed by the kernel - certainly not at the level of individual objects. The problem of sending a Swift string to C and making sure it doesn't get "freed" by Swift is that the Swift runtime might overwrite that string if it is "freed", even though it's still being used by the C code, not that the kernel might mess with it.

Even more, the risk when sharing memory with another language runtime is not even limitted to freeing. Many common languages have GCs which move in-use objects around in memory. This obviously can't work if that object was actually shared with a different runtime. In those, the object must not only be protected from being freed, but also from being moved around - hence the common concept of pinning it in memory.

I think this makes it even more obvious that the OS can't help with this task - unless we want the OS to standardize on a GC that it imposes on all programs, and essentially no one wants that.
Absolutely the truth has been spoken! In my experience the management are physics or mechanics engineers. The rest, I can only confirm. I would buy any day of the week a mechanical thing from Germany tool, or whatever. But when it comes to software NO F*ING WAY! Absolut trash.

Don't you have access to Vulkan from Rust? So you should be able to do whatever you want, same as doing it in any other language I assume that can plug into it.

"Why not Rust?"

Well, if you have got access to a language designed for making games like Jai, then that would presumably be better than Rust.
I actually enjoy the Singaporean approach: drop your resume to this address which may be a black hole, but solve this programming puzzle to get a guaranteed response. The programming puzzle is usually relatively easy and can be done in 2 hours.

If you're applying to jobs, you're bound to be doing lots of puzzles anyway, so it's just more practice. It filters out the 80% bottom of the barrel and this might mean one less tech interview stage.

Heck just give them fizzbuzz straight away and it should filter about 80% anyway.
It was a feint, check the Manuverist Papers.

Nobody wants to admit it though because the entire, desperate “Russia is l-losing” narrative falls apart if they do.

No. They just put their users ahead of developers.

And the huge success of the App Store model proves they were correct.
You need to back out in both cases, literally zero difference whether you do it when arriving or leaving makes no difference, but loading your grocery when parked head in is way more convenient than the other way in which case it can be striaght up impossible with car parked against you or the wall in underground garage and narrow spaces between cars where you can't fit shopping cart.
What? Someone hates advertising and especially with their car. Absolutely reasonable position to take. I ask them how far they go with that? Reasonable to go absolutely hardcore and get rid of /all/ of it. Reasonable to say that level of advertising isn't that annoying so not worth the effort. I ask which because I'm interested in the response. None of that looks particularly controversial to me and I'm not seeing a non-sequitur.

> - a set of a AGIs that are more or less benevolent

I remember one of the AGIs in the books decided to transcend, asked his humans, took the time to drop off humans who didn't want to at another habitat, and only then transcended.

Somehow this alone struck me as "huh, they really are benevolent"
Remove the profit motive by letting junkies get their fix at pharmacies just like the rest of us.
Windows isn't POSIX, and Qt does just fine there.
Nested code with no tests or docs and devs are afraid to fix bugs. That's where i coined the term "Fear Driven Development". The code is so mess such that no dev wants to touch the code. when they do touch, something is surely broken.
That is not that complex...
I agree that alcohol would be a better parallel here and I was simply using the parent comment's example.

Alcohol is considered a vice and we not only have laws which prohibit children from its consumption, at least in the US, it's culturally accepted that it's generally not appropriate for children to be drinking. In the US, I do think that straight prohibition-style banning of all alcohol from children is also not a good idea largely due to the example you've given where once children become adults and have free access to alcohol, their lack of experience with the substance can cause issues.

I'm personally planning on letting my children consume small amounts of alcohol while they are under our supervision to give them experience. That way, once they do have free access, the novelty is not so great and hopefully they'll be able to behave more responsibly. Treating social media as a vice doesn't have to mean full ban until they're adults. It just means we need to acknowledge that it is and think about how we want to deal with it.
I agree. Furthermore, imagine if the police were measured by the number of crimes they actually prevented versus the number they documented. Yes, I realize that these are orders of magnitude of difficulty in difference. The important thing being that one is what they are expected to do, the other what they actually do.
I built a job board for the eCommerce/DTC Industry
Working as an agency owner in ecommerce led me to find many companies asking if I knew industry-specific talent & many employees asking if I knew brands hiring.

Decided to build my own job board whereby we upload 200+ new jobs weekly from fast growing ecommerce brands. Our email list has been growing at a steady pace but we continue to put our focus on high quality jobs. There's no web scraper being used here, just a team of individuals who've worked in this niche handpicking jobs from brands

> techniques developed for the collection and analysis of such vast datasets find their way back into more quotidian applications.

Which is different from knowledge "for its own sake." Townies with and without imagination will get behind aspects of the techniques, data, products and byproducts that resonate with them. NASA has plenty of examples.
> For a long time, they succeeded.

I'm not sure I'd give them that much credit in executing on any strategy.

Google sat on perhaps the biggest moat any recent company has known. They had cash to burn for decades and to their credit put a lot of that towards employee happiness.

But I'm not sure they ever really got anything off the ground for the "post" search era.
We've had native wrappers with PWA style payloads for nearly 15 years.

Installing to the home screen is not the reason they never took off.

It's because the user experience on them is terrible compared to native. Really is as simple as that.

No...that's the marketplace.
Well that too, but its also GPU shader and bandwidth heavy. Much more of the chip is dedicated to graphics than anything from AMD/Intel.

What I am saying is that Apple expects devs to drop old paradigms and accelerate apps with Metal where possible. Its not just evident in the hardware, but in the evolution of their software toolchains as well.
Infinity Blade was an iOS game released 13 years ago that was among the first to truly show off what you could do in 3d on an iPhone. It was an early killer app.
The revision history doesn't seem to support that. They seem to just mash enter a lot.

Especially it looks like they have lots of edits where they add blank lines and then another tag, and then remove the new tag but not the blank line. E.g. https://github.com/thstsa/spacetourism/commit/6411ce05009cc6...

Or sometimes just replacing things they intend to outright remove with blank lines.

With multiple committers, it seems unlikely they're all templating and then checking in the output of the template engine.

The key point here is cost. A drunk can beg for enough money to drink their way to an early grave every day. A heroin or meth addict cannot possibly beg enough to support such a habit at street prices. Reduce cost watch crime plummet.
It rewards changes, not just inclusions. Removal of well-liked and widely used features also gets you a good performance review.

Question for the author, so, happening on a link to this, are we just supposed to know what Mermaid is? Why not provide a link or a short summary?

Edit: I mean sure, we can google it [https://mermaid.js.org/] but the question stands, because having some small accommodation inline would save the time of many viewers. This seems to be a general problem shared by many resources online, with an easy solution that would eliminate the need to do a search.
Yep, good tools was the minimum a decade ago, these days you also need an asset store. I suspect the next decade you will need to have integrated AI tools.

The only opensource game engine that looks interesting is Godot, they are working hard on making their tools better and growing their asset store.

Absolutely. I don't understand why people think there is something grand in their neurotic reflexive attachment to the species they just happen to belong to. Supporting the human attack on the ecosphere (now near-terminal) is as crudely chauvanistic as pub fights over football games. But it's dressed up as belief in 'destiny' (which, like so many views professed by people who misunderstand theirselves as inheritors of scientific beliefs, is purely religious in origin).
Even though I deslike the way they screwed Sun, at very least they had the guts to push with Android, a relatively good managed OS, no matter what.

Those aren’t the ultra wealthy, they’re .01%’ers. The ultra wealthy (of which a couple are familiar names like Bezos or Musk or Gates, but most of which don’t want to be known as it brings unwanted attention), pretty much never sell. Maybe if they’re rebalancing their portfolio somewhere.

They also wouldn’t be landlords (in the sense you’re talking about), that’s what they hire people for.

If the property is irritating them and they can’t offload it, then sure some won’t bat an eye at losing a couple million (or 10) on something. Most of them would stab their own mothers in the back for $100 though. But most of them literally never need to care to that level.

In the Bay Area at least, the 1%’er wealthy areas like Palo Alto? Most of the city just… stops. I’ve seen it myself last downturn.

You don’t need to be ultra wealthy to not need to sell if you hit a rough spot for a few years.

They might lay off the gardeners though.
How much worse can we get? There’s open warfare on Mexican streets. Mexican gangs are active across the U.S. human trafficking is a well established part of their business. Slavery and forced labor is not unheard of among cartel.

Yeah, but some of the posts are actually positive, so I don't know if this is their initial prompt went wrong, or someone is performing an experiment.
I believe this is correct. Anecdotally, at FB, there was quite a push to get coroutine-supporting-features into the standard because we had a C++ coroutine library built through non-standard means, which meant that compilers didn't fully support them (leading to a bunch of annoying things for all of those writing code on top of the library).

Now the folly/experimental/coro library can be compiled by anything that claims to support C++20, which is a pretty big win for FB if nothing else.

In case other folks missed the intent of this comment, Monsanto is now a part of Bayer. I guess this is meant to remind us of that.

Today - everyone googling on SO to solve problems. Future - everyone will be prompting AI to solve problems. As long as we all get basically the same tools, the difference comes from the developer.

Electricity is also a huge productivity booster, but it doesn't advantage any one person, all have access to the same energy infrastructure. Youtube has educational and artistic content for everyone, but we need to actually use it to get the benefits - it depends on us.

I’ve been in the Ethereum ecosystem for over six years.

I’ve heard “there’s a lot of work being done on…” literally thousands of times. Yet outside of the crypto-sphere I’ve only met a handful of people who’s life would be impacted in the slightest if the entire thing disappeared.

Ethereum is eight years old and debates about use cases, etc aside I think even someone towards the middle of the debate can readily acknowledge progress, utility, value, and adoption has been incredibly slow.

Consider ENS - the last time I registered with ENS the process was just as confusing and convoluted as ever, only in this instance with gas fees I paid around $300 for the name. Oh, and the various transactions kept failing - leaving me wondering (per usual with crypto) if my funds went up in smoke, off to some scammer, etc.

Like so many times in crypto before I just assumed the funds were gone but like I said I DO follow this space and DO find it interesting so I consider burning crypto left and right a relatively cheap education/hobby. Plus I get to tell cool stories like this one on HN ;).

I can’t imagine how creaky, bug ridden, impossible to scale, nearly impossible for mortals to use, and inevitably completely overrun by scammers and frauds an Ethereum (or any crypto) based mail and messaging system would be. No. Just no.

With every day, week, month, and year that passes hearing “We’re building! People are working on XYZ!” when meanwhile the only thing people actually see is the latest headline for some crypto criminal, fraud, scam, collapse of last years “use case” (NFTs anyone?), etc.

I’m not saying it’s dead but I think it’s pretty safe to say the window for anything approaching mass adoption, credibility, and real utility has closed.

“Stop trying to make fetch happen! It’s not going to happen!”
Just to be sure: This is NOT a finetuned GTP model, but rather standard GPT-3 API, used to summarize search results of a HN Comments DB, based on user input. Right?
Especially when they use the stochastic parrot argument to further their point (or say something about how LLMs are mere next word predictors as if that ends all discussion on the matter).

I've always found arguments of these sort to be weak sauce--our brains are stochastic parrots.

I don't know that this is true. Christendom has a longstanding eschatological tradition, but I'm not sure that it's been in any way universal. Cyclical views of long time are pretty common, for example.

Humanity hasn't always had nukes. I think Ukraine/Russia is somewhat likely to go worldwide, and it's going to be hard to stop a large nuclear exchange at that point. I'd be surprised if we have 5 years left.
Since when did HN become a place for comments like this?
Regarding numpy/pandas: What's the reason outside of them being _in Python_?
While the headline is factually true, the investigation seems to have more to do with his side hustle than the inquiry from Monsanto’s lawyers.

Of course it may also be that the university is looking to dump an 86 year old professor that probably doesn’t bring in much grant money, and doesn’t even seem to teach many students.

I must say though, I was impressed by the article. Seemed to do a very good job of balancing the story, as opposed to the usual reporting when one side makes claims in a lawsuit. All you usually get is the claims, presented as fact.
Impractical from the standpoint of someone who's looking to profit off the invention surely, but explain why that should be the primary driver and not general wellbeing?

Is a caste who have traditionally rendered temple services. it is not related to the english word or meaning warrior.
The caste name also differs from region to region. I am not sure if the person you mentioned is the same caste or a different one.

Caste does not say your ancestors did that job, caste meant a person from a particular caste could only do that job and could not take up other jobs, people from other castes could not take their jobs and were disqualified because you were not born in a particular list of families.
Some castes were prohibited from getting an education and were killed for this.
I spent a lot of time thinking about this, and the conclusion I reached is while the cpu may be cheaper, it can generate revenue where the fpga cannot. So even thought the tco may seem upside down the opportunity cost of using a few cores makes up for the additional cost.

Gcp for example has the potential for ~1 k revenue per core over a system lifespan. A smart nic is probably ~1.5k, so saving 2 cores outs you in the black and has other security advantages.
You pay a profitable amount to OpenAI for the playground too. ChatGPT Plus is a little overpriced because it's for unlimited* use.
I'm fine with a refined personalization algorithm, but I am not fine but not an engagement optimizing one specifically.

Engagement optimization is, by definition, addictive, and it tends to pick up outrage-generating extremist content because it is really engaging.

Whats more, Google has every incentive to compensate as little as possible, as less engagement means less money.

Its my belief that chasing engagement so fervently is at the heart not just the tech industry's woes, but many of the world's issues. Its warping user's minds, addicting them, and polarizing them, its destroying privacy as a side effect, and Google (and others) cant stop themselves because of competitive pressure.
It's fun to build stuff. It's not nearly as fun to use and maintain what other people have built. Why should all the fun be for the people who just so happen to have been born decades earlier? The point of life is not to maximize efficiency in all respects, and people make emotional choices to achieve personal fulfillment.

This is exactly how it went.

You can feel the effects of this when people have to write fancy for a cover letter or an important email. People switch to a different voice that isn't theirs, and that they are clearly not comfortable with.

> As I understand it (and this is before my time), garbage collection in lisp languages was really a downer on 70s and even 80s era hardware.

It mostly was. The main reasons were that GC lacked necessary features and memory was extremely small&expensive.

The first really usable GCs arrived with processors like the 68020+MMU or the 68030. Even on a Lisp Machine the GC got much more usable with the introduction of the ephemeral GC, which used hardware support to track memory changes in RAM. As soon as the GC needed to work on virtual memory on disk, it was much slower.

At my programming job I find that when I communicate, my sentences are too long and have too much detail to the point where people probably skim over what I write and don't really read it. Looking at other coworkers who seem to be effective communicators, they seem to be more economical with their words with the use of jargon (in a good way) that encapsulates more complex ideas into a word or term. For example, I would write "when the thing we use is shared by many other things" and the shorter term would be "multi-tenant". When "one of the things uses too many resources and disrupts the other things in the shared environment" the shorter term is "noisy neighbors problem". So I find that finding the right word or jargon is really helpful for making writing easy to read.
Your income is not proportional to how many hours you work.
Being "technically right" is more rightness than some teachers require: We all know about teachers who are right because they are teachers, ditto bosses and family members and so on. Learning this now is good experience, and learning it in a context where they might even be able to leverage it into a job interview is even better.
