Zig doesn't have variable length args. The .{} syntax is for an anonymous struct with no field names (which are named tuples in Zig.) Print takes the struct's type info at compile time to check the validity of the statement, and also produce optimal code. This is implemented entirely within Zig's standard functionality that's available to all users.

So, if you just type X, you're getting an error about it not being a struct. That's unless X is a struct with one field, where it'll just print that field.
I find Zig meta-programming to actually be fairly readable, here's the function that does the formatting: https://github.com/ziglang/zig/blob/master/lib/std/fmt.zig

> How many are the examples when the federal government was more efficient (as in effect per unit money) than a commercial company?

The real question I think is whether there are examples where larger companies gain efficiencies, and if the most efficient way to do something is at a national or international scale, do you want to depend on a massive private companies (likely heavily subsidized) to do it?

That's not handing a public function to the private sector for the sake of finding efficiencies or to fund emergent innovation through competition, that's handing risk-free concessions to a cronies.

Amtrak is a disaster, both inefficient and undercapitalized and dangerous. The U.S. Congress nationalized passenger rail in 1971, gave Amtrak the extraordinarily Northeast Corridor backbone, and yet America has easily the worst passenger rail in the developed world. Amtrak's cost per passenger mile is 3x or 4x higher than flying with a worse safety record.

Okay. But if you're happy with the feature set AS IS the day you subscribe then you're paying more. E.g. if Photoshop 7 still meets your needs then you don't need to upgrade to CS, CS2,... etc. Now with CC you're "upgrading" every version even if you don't touch a single new feature. That's not cheaper. There's no guarantee the user needs or wants the upgrade but with a subscription there's no choice.

Let me bail early with a trial or a return period.

It's also not cheaper if devs reprice things to be more expensive even if that's more sustainable for them.

It is a nightmare because of the Warner Act, which completely removes voluntary transactions from the labor market when it comes to collective bargaining.

I have no problem if employers want to bargain with a single authority, and I have no problem if an employee wants to only work for a company if they can outsource their bargaining. I do have a problem with the law that says that it a majority of people want to unionize then all other employees must join the union and the employer must bargain only with the union. It is nonsense and tyranny. It also leads to terrible band-aid laws like Right to Work.

Valve is cool, but they're only able to afford this style of development because they take a 30% cut of all PC gaming revenue. Not profits, revenue. When you're making that much money you can do whatever you want and still stay afloat. They've mismanaged some games (Dota 2), abandoned other games (TF2) and completely messed up other games (Artifact 1 and 2).

They have my loyalty as a consumer because they've treated me right. But let's not pretend that their success is tied to their culture or that the culture would work elsewhere. I reckon you could do anything and be successful if you had Steam's revenue rolling in.
Back in my CS 101 class, we, too, had a simple CPU simulator.

Nothing like this. It was a simple assembly language with, perhaps, 16 or so instructions. The simulator was written in BASIC PLUS on the RSTS/E PDP 11/70.

I only mention it anecdotally to comment on, perhaps, how little early CS education has changed over the years.

The other fun anecdote was a friend of mine also took the class. The assignment was to multiply two numbers. We’re talking a very simple loop, not even binary multiplication with shifts and what not.

Rather than writing the simple loop, my friend changed the simulator and added a multiply instruction.

The instructor was not amused by his out of box problem solving.

I rarely ate the fresh food he'd bring back, especially because the guy loved seafood, but he would often come back with boxes and boxes of perfectly fine food, drink & random things for around the house like cutlery, tools, whatever. Boxed & Canned food, cereals, etc.

It is absolutely fascinating that political groups can so strongly praise democracy while insisting that their proximate authority structure that has by far the biggest impact on their day to day lives and life satisfaction should be run like feudal states.

I mean unions are kinda clunky as far as political instruments go but they've at least got the spirit of what the point of it all is. A country where the thing people do for the majority of their working hours is shitty misses the forest for the trees.

There is a cheap and even for current humanity achievable way to rotate a black hole; change your frame of reference. That is not only true for angular momentum but linear momentum and position. Those are entirely dependent on the observer and their frame of reference. Spin, magnetic charge and mass are not.

Two black holes who differ only by their position, linear and/or angular momentum but are equal in all other parameters are not distinguishable from simply seeing the same black hole twice from a different perspective.

Two black holes who differ in any of the three properties of mass, spin or magnetic charge are distinguishable by those properties (but even that is arguable to some extend).

edit: The rent prices of a planet don't matter since frame of reference is an actual term here, there is no frame of reference more valid than any other for determining the linear or angular velocity or the position of a black hole.
> In some ways, the most damning line in the article is in the conclusion:

> Success was not achieved with every large language model considered, and effort was required to engineer the prompt.

This, and the couple if paragraphs that follow, are interesting in that what is presented is the challenf of getting a language model to learn a simple parity calculation from examples. That's a Mensa-style riddle which would be very impressive if it became a general capability purely from language inputs.
I don't know where to start.

>> Consider the nucleus of a normal atom. We know and have mapped out electron shell structures. Nuclei too have structure but it's way more inscrutable and complex as you have to deal with the electric repulsion between protons, the strong interaction between quarks (and gluons) and the strong interaction between nucleons. AFAIK we don't really have a good model for this.

We have a great model for this, it's called quantum chromodynamics (QCD).

>> neutron stars are probably the most complex objects in the Universe

Nope, a human brain is far far far more complex than a neutron star.

>> Black holes by comparison are quite simple: describle with three quantities (mass, spin, electric charge)

Not exactly.

Every isolated unstable black hole decays rapidly to a stable black hole; and (excepting quantum fluctuations) stable black holes can be completely described (in a Cartesian coordinate system) at any moment in time by these eleven numbers:

mass–energy M M,
linear momentum P (three components),
angular momentum J (three components),
position X (three components),
electric charge Q Q.

On top of that a study by Sasha Haco, Stephen Hawking, Malcolm Perry and Andrew Strominger postulates that black holes might contain "soft hair", giving the black hole more degrees of freedom than previously thought.

a combination of "there is no standard", "selling collaboration to businesses is way to make money", and that how editors handle files changes from editor to editor, so its a bit hard to sync

- zed.dev has crdt's/collaborative editing as one of its selling points, but they're planning to offer this collaboration as part a paid service to businesses.
- vscode has its own sycronous collaboration plugin, but its proprietary and they declined to release the source code or offer to port it to other editors
- you could probably build a plugin that bridges emacs and neovim, but it might be a bit slow as you'd have to "translate" the buffer from one editor to the other

There is an inherent difficulty in implementing it, getting asycronous collaborative editing right is hard. Combine that with how few people on emacs/neovim actually use collaborative editing (emacs still has a mailing list and does code via patches) and the chance for a "universal" version is practically nil.

> For anyone who has successfully used CPAP, did it really take 3-6 months before you found it made a difference?

It took me a year of active effort. I was waking up multiple times a night choking, so I didn't feel like a had a choice but to stick with it. Some people don't fully wake up, so it may not seem like such an obvious thing to them. I never would have made it through without https://www.sleepfiles.com/OSCAR/

We went away for the weekend recently and I forgot the power cable for my CPAP. It was a rough trip for me, and I remember thinking "I can't believe I used to just feel like this all the time".

Politeness has nothing to do with cops killing POCs, or systemic repression, or giving hormones to kids.

You don't say slurs and use someone's preferred pronouns out of politeness; 'woke' is about systemic or deeper issues. Maybe the woke crows has bad takes on these issues -- happy to debate each on their merits in other threads -- but it's disingenuous to couch it in terms of simple social graces.

This post reads like a rich white dude who was able to sidestep these deeper issues via a wink and a nod but without actually engaging with the core issues -- which is how these issues continue to persist. Keep getting your STEM salary and be nice.

Reminds me of Marcus Aurelius and the Stoics, who wrote a lot about calming the self, being kind and non-judgemental to others, understanding that they might not be mad at you but at circumstances, etc etc. Meanwhile their entire system ran on institutional slavery and constant subjugation. Yeah they'd crucify people but those Senators sure were polite.

Just reasonable expectations, that's all. My contract doesn't state "your manager won't scream in your face" but if he does I'm going to quit all the same.

At-will employment is definitely a double edged sword but it does give employees the power to tell their employer to get lost if they're being unreasonable, even if it isn't written in something legally binding.

There’s an interesting line in the article towards the end about homework being a teacher’s way to exercise power over a student’s time when they are in their own home. I thought it was noticeable that the argument didn’t take the next logical step and observe that homework, in addition to demanding the child’s time, usurps the sovereignty of the parents in their own home by turning it into a workplace devoted to the school.

I wonder if and how parent’s perception of homework changed amidst the rise in remote work arrangements over the past few years.

> To make sure gaming workloads find the right CCD, AMD has implemented a high degree of software-level control, in the form of its 3D Vertical Cache Optimizer Driver, which is included with the latest version of AMD Chipset Software.

Yeah, what about games on Linux? I'm pretty sure it will be scheduled all over the place.

Also I doubt that scheduler is smart enough to detect it dynamically. Do they just use a list of known applications for that?

Curious what you can find about IT bands? I used to run triathlons. Stopped when I had a long recovery from a cracked foot. 10 years later I have chronic IT band tightening that pulls my knee out of alignment and causes constant pain.

When I was doing triathlon, I was in the Clydesdale division because I had a physique more like a football player than a runner. I've often wondered if my leg/knee problems of today are casually related to my choice to seriously do an exercise against body type.
Yes, we should, but not for that reason.
So if I oppose irreversible changes to prepubescent children, then I'm anti-trans? Someone should've told me when I spoke out against both male and female circumcision.

I'm focusing on prepubescent children and you are going on about unrelated stuff.

For the last time, a prepubescent child is unable to give consent to castration, sterilisation and other irreversible changes.

The trouble is, your argument that the people who are against sterilisation of 9 year olds are transphobic is simply nonsense, and you're too emotionally connected to trans-as-a-political stance to see the human issues involved.

In a remarkable fit of irony, you're displaying cold indifference to humans, all the while yelling that they must take your feelings seriously.

You're ignoring pretty much all industrial use of plastic, which is a huge contributor to plastic use.

As Cory Doctorow has point out so eloquently in his "enshittification" series, the end point isn't even to the benefit of the advertiser. At the end state, The Machine also have perfect knowledge of the advertiser, and the adtech company can turn the full power of the The Machine to the benefit of itself, extracting value from both the audience and the advertisers.
