> ...but I'm curious if they do more for memory safety. With companies trying to avoid starting new code in memory unsafe languages if they don't have to, I wonder if that will hurt Zig adoption.

I'm of the opinion that such companies or persons that would use it, are not as concerned with memory safety. Probably their use cases are more specific, limited, or narrower. Else they would likely go with more convenient GC using languages. Of which, various such languages are also compiled with optional GCs that can be turned off (Dlang, Nim, Vlang).
That, or deal with the greater complexities of adopting Rust or Ada, for primarily attempting to gain such greater memory safety. Per that part of your comment, do think the adoption will be smaller, more niche, and/or we will see it hit a lower ceiling.
Is your "privacy stolen" when you register your vehicle? If you were so worried about privacy you wouldn't have a vehicle.

Just admit you don't have a problem with privacy. You have a problem with automated enforcement.

And yes automated enforcement reduces deaths and injuries. That's a well documented and proven fact. Indulging your paranoia and personal consumer preferences is not worth a single injury or death.
Good point, I think most policy makers are not versed in how IT, and software works enough to understand the implications of such things. Tik Tok is an easy target, and gives them a starting point, but overall, the lack of true understanding of technology by our policy makers is quite astounding, and perhaps troubling at the same time.
She was very familiar with it, and it was her job. My point was, she only cared about the time wasting parts you hate. In general, she had little actual depth of knowledge or curiosity.
Rails can easily serve up pages in <100ms. If you do have an endpoint that is CPU-bound to where you can’t meet your SLA goals, you can serve up just that endpoint in Rust or Golang. But that’s rare.

Usually what happens at scale is that the SQL database starts slowing down as more data is loaded in. Partitioning, indexes and painful refactorings aren’t prioritized. Engineering will champion “a faster language”—that incidentally allows them a new data model where they add in proper indexes at the start. They aren’t really incentivized to realize they could see the same gains by just improving their existing data inside the Rails monolith.

GPU is already capped in gaming and CPU isn't isle enough for these calculations.

We'd likely need consoles to pave the way with AI cores on their SOCs, then we might get new pcie AI cards and that's probably the first time the feature could be leveraged properly.

Doing everything in the cloud would be prohibitively expensive and likely too slow, as 15 second would be just too long for a player to stand around waiting for an answer.
I wonder which tool we can use to decrypt the exported messages before importing them into a local (mbox, maildir) or remote message store (IMAP.) At worst we can use the JS code Google sends us, but extracting it from the gmail JS bundle is probably non trivial.
YouTube being used as your source of emergency medical information is an edge case. Certainly isn't a routine or even tertiary use case for the place where we watch reaction videos and SNL clips.

Not from what I recall. You may be perhaps more aware of it nowadays, but as far as I can tell politics and politicians have been the same as long as we have a written record of them.
Wow, that is... a very cynical way to view that interaction. Obviously you were there to hear how they said it, but I'll apologize if I bump into someone on accident and earnestly mean it.

What would you think is more honest? Someone bumps into you and cusses you out? Says nothing and ignores that the may have hurt you or caused you to drop something?
Best quote @2:30: "It charges $5 to provide from 4 to 20 to 30 dates." Not much has changed with software, huh?
It's not backwards. The M1 chip isn't changing. Asahi Linux, and the mainline Linux kernel, is changing to improve its M1 support.
Yet another reason to ditch cars. The car is an engineering disaster and it's time has past. I know this will be a shock to some people.
> They just disappear and go quiet for a week and then deliver some solution that was not specified by the product team because they think it's better.

That has nothing to do with communication but either with an inability to read and understand the specification which is an issue with intelligence or they have an attitude problem thinking they know everything best. None of this can be fixed by them being a good communicator, you will have the same just with a lot of extra debate.

The best engineers disappear for 1-2 days in quiet and then deliver exactly what you needed, do a bit of review/refinement with 1 or 2 other team members to tidy things up and polish the quality and then they'll pick up the next task and disappear again for a day.
Unfortunately the demand for those jobs relative to supply is astronomical. So usually competition can be brutal and the pay suboptimal at the top labs.
Yes, especially these days when we are driving the 6th mass extinction event, and we have all kinds of other options for documentation.

It was one thing a century and a half ago when wildlife was still close to plentiful. Now, take some photos and videos, log the location & conditions, and let it live...

Killing & mounting isn't science anymore, it's a snuff fetish.

EDIT:

Yes, I get it, it was one insect and in this case he didn't even realize it was rare until years later, and often getting hand-on DNA helps, and overlighting, pollution, habitat destruction are far larger drivers.

But teaching the habit of collecting and mounting bugs goes far beyond the handfuls of PhD entomologists. I remember being taught about it and encouraged in something like 6th grade. It's not harmless like collecting stamps and, unless you're going to actually do DNA analysis on that sample, still seems to me like more of a cargo-cult/fetish activity, so I'd hope we could get beyond it.
It is probably using the Message Access Profile[1], commonly used by cars. Its likely very stable, but is very limited.

I'm sure they do. Island wasn't my idea, just since I've been asked to test it it's literally the only browser I use other than firefox and I was making the point that firefox works fine on cloudflare sites in general so there must be some kind of gitlab-specific problem.
Trade-offs. Inability accept trade-offs & inherent inequality of options and outcomes is a plague.
Shareholders look at metrics, numbers going up is what they want. Except in a downturn, then they want that particular number going down.
> I don't think that devs are paid differently because founders are developers

You missunderstood, I was talking about founders not following the normal management culture, so they do things like "pay our people twice the market rate so we can get the best people!", no regular manager or CEO would do that, and that is how for example programmers could start earning so much more than engineers.

> I don't think we'll go to "developers make slightly more than the national average

That isn't a quote. I said similar pay to other engineers, not everyone. Engineers makes more than typical people.

> there's a lot of stuff to do where you need developers and only so many developers to do them. If you want yours done, you offer more money so developers do them for you.

This was true in the 90's as well, Microsoft was the richest company on earth yet they didn't pay all their programmers significantly more than the typical market rate for engineers. The fast rise in salaries started when lots of companies started to copy Google in the late 00's.
You edited your response. How many of those companies are profitable?
How do you keep that (awesome) policy from being abused? Say I want days off next week, maybe I'll work this weekend to make it happen.
Most people are afraid to say anything in public channels because they fear they might alone in feeling a certain way (often times they are not). It's through private conversations, they can feel confident about their view and actually do something about it. This "everything must be public" perpetuates the culture of a seemingly happy place simmering with unsaid complaints below the surface.
"but I won't let that bother me like it does other folk. I'll stand out on the roadside, thumb up in the air, and wait for some good passer buy to show me that they care"

> Physical activity had medium effects on depression (median effect size=−0.43, IQR=−0.66 to –0.27), anxiety (median effect size=−0.42, IQR=−0.66 to –0.26) and psychological distress (effect size=−0.60, 95% CI −0.78 to –0.42), compared with usual care across all populations.

I don't understand why physical activity isn't part of "Usual Care." Just going for a walk every day is such a huge boost to morale.
I mean, reading this article, seems like the author still had to put in a lot of work to get something decent. Kinda makes GPT not look like an all powerful content generator: it steels need a human to use it correctly.
Using a PSK alone doesn't make WireGuard quantum-safe. The security of the key exchange mechanism in WireGuard, which relies on the Diffie-Hellman protocol, is still vulnerable to quantum attacks.

If an attacker were to obtain the PSK and use a quantum computer to break the Diffie-Hellman key exchange, they would be able to decrypt the VPN traffic.

This is currently the thought-process and main reason behind why PQWG (Post Quantum Wireguard) are actively being researched [1].

I wouldn't mind a bit more performance, but I don't know how this fits in with the current plans around speeding up the CPython interpreter.

Any thoughts on how likely Pyston is to be merged? Is this likely to be shot down?
Thus making payment even less likely...

I used to be a big proponent of alcohol/drug test to prevent car starting, ideally I imagined the system would be with an absolute guarantee (mandated) the information stays local (just a hardware switch preventing ignition or startup). But I'm sad to say I don't believe in any more, so much abuse to mark people as 'tries to drive while under the influence' or making you pay higher insurance because you're often 0.5g instead of 0.3g.

I really want people to be prevented to drive killing vehicles under the influence (yes even my e-cargo). I know it would bring so many other problems, such as cost, tampering, bad sensitivity, etc. It doesn't make sense to me that we don't crack down more on this specific act.

it's the opposite actually. Insects are incomparably more important than highly complex highly specialized animals when it comes to biodiversity.

TikTok did use ip tracking of reporters working on a story to try to find whistleblowers. According to TikTok that was a misguided employee who was let go shortly after.

Though they are hardly alone in the 'misguided employees' department. Ebay had a whole scheme where they flew out a security team to harass and stalk a couple that had criticized ebay in a blog post. https://www.npr.org/2022/09/30/1126078948/live-spiders-and-c...

I think Facebook and Uber had their own location tracking scandals as well.
Brings back memories. Used to play waaay too much CS/TF with some work mates in the 90s. The 'problem' we had was we often played from the office after hours. And we had a DS-3 connection. 45Mbps, low latency connect at a time when basically everyone else was dialup. We got accused of cheating constantly; I suppose in one sense we were.
Unless something changed pretty recently, pypy's database support is pretty weak. It's not a drop-in replacement for Cpython.
That is nonsense. It's like blaming the roads for a car maker mistakes.

It's not my cup of tea but I understand the appeal and the feeling of being in control. I don't understand why this is a big deal or why we should care.
The insect was on the exterior wall of a Walmart - it was likely not long for this world. That's the nature of science though. The story does remind me of a documentary I saw on a researcher of rare lizards in the Australian outback. Over 30 years he collected thousands of specimens. The interviewer asked if he might be harming the population of the various lizard species he was studying. The researcher thought about it for a second and said he used to believe the populations were large enough that it did not matter, but then admitted he isn't so sure now.

There is no other equivalent PC laptop that is as fast, with such great battery life, power draw, quiet and lack of heat, and hidpi display, and all the equivalents in terms of performance and portability are just as expensive. The apple silicon machines are best in class right now, with no real competition. Surely this will change, but with Apple's kind of exclusive access to so much TSMC production (because of the massive volume of iphone chips, which are basically the same as M1 chips), it's going to take massive investment by intel or AMD to catch up in the price/power/performance category. You can definitely get an AMD Threadripper that gives you more computing power than an M1 Max, but not as quiet, as cool, or as cheap. (I'm typing this on a work-provided linux machine with a 32 core threadripper pro 5975WX that costs $3299 just for the processor, not even the rest of the PC, which is more than my personal M1 Max Mac Studio and when all 64 threads get going on this thing it's loud enough to hear it from the other room, even with "bequiet" fans).
People fought for environmental protection, so that is an extension of my point. An AI wins rights because it fights for itself or because it convinces other people to fight.
Oh no, this was a very San Francisco interaction. My sister was definitely in the way, had no idea what she was doing, and got an “cough excuse me” after not noticing the person awkwardly trying to get around her for the prerequisite 10 seconds.

And yeah in a crowded place with people having very little personal space? Just ignore it and move on. It’s not a big deal. Obviously there are levels of crowdedness, but somewhere between empty room and front row at a concert, you stop acknowledging small bumps.

Either way, I don’t think I’ve seen anyone use “excuse me” as an apology in SF. It’s more like the Minnesotan “ope” – said while you’re already shoving your way past someone purposefully. An apology sounds more like ”Shit, I’m sorry! Are you okay?”
Well if this is how the new cars are gonna be, I guess I'll just go ahead and teach myself to be a Car Guy so that the one I have now will run forever.

It's not that I'm afraid of missing a payment. At this point I would probably buy the car outright. But after the robo-signing debacle with BoA repossesssing houses that they were never party to, the mere capability renders the machine fundamentally untrustworthy.
Photograph & video it, log the location data, and let it live.

When it is "a rare, surviving eastern population of giant lacewings that evaded detection and extinction. ", it is very much like a panda, and a single premature death can make a difference in the survival of a population.
You joke, but I once worked on a team where nobody was able to point me to any coherent high-level documentation of what the system actually _did_... they all just walked around referring to it by some proprietary name as though you were some type of misinformed dunderhead for not understanding them. It took two hours of a manager talking and filling up a wall-sized whiteboard for me to discover that it was just a hideously over-engineered amalgamation of a CDN and document repository. If they'd had a diagram, README, or had even been able to give me the one-sentence overview then I suspect that the project's head count and productivity would have looked much different.

This is all to say that if you 1) invent novel terminology for things that already exist, 2) don't document anything, and 3) run your team like a high school clique then you never have to worry about finding yourself out of a job. Thankfully my current gig has loads of video training and an interactive dictionary for proprietary terms in an attempt to combat this.
Thinking an LLM is sentient because it can depict emotions is like thinking stable diffusion is sentient because it can produce an image of a sad face. Lemoine seems like a very superstitious person.
The car is an engineering miracle. It's one of my most useful possessions and I'll never voluntarily give up the personal mobility that it enables.
I've used a lot of laptops over the last 30 years going back through generations of ThinkPads running Linux and Windows, some HP boxes, PowerBook Duo and G4, and probably some I've forgotten. I now have a "midnight" M2 MacBook Air, 512Gb flash and 16Gb RAM, and it is, hands-down, the best laptop I've ever had. It's far faster than my 8-core Mac Pro. I run VS Code, OpenOffice, tons of tabs in Firefox, and terminals. I can even run Stable Diffusion on it using the "Diffusion Bee" packaged version. I think your bias about expensive and "faster... for less money" is out of date. Some of us appreciate things like length of time we can use it before having to recharge, and this thing leaves other devices far behind.
Which would explain the extreme amount of press criticism and government problems during the Covid crisis.

Government demanded the press to silence scientific criticism on their damage control strategy, whilst by themselves publishing extreme misinformation and doing active censoring on all channels. E.g. censoring and ridiculing Ioannidis over the measured virus's fatality rate of about 0.2%, vs the official government numbers of 3%. His wikipedia is still full of such government propaganda and misinformation.

Of course people got concerned and the extremists had their numbers exploding ("Luegenpresse"), causing proper Covid countermeasures to misfire. Such as fear of vaccinations and even whole countries blowing up (Brazil, US, Russia).

Politicians and government officials never admit to mistakes, only scientists do. The press sometimes admits, but mostly their damage control is easier to accomplish.

Aren’t you supposed to call 911 in an emergency and not a broadcast radio station?

My experience is that AM radio is a joke in upstate NY. During the day the one station you can count on is the one The Rush Limbaugh show used to be on. At high altitudes it is fun around sunset between the time the D layer disappears and stations reduce their power output/antenna gain you can hear Bloomberg Radio anticipating the stock market opening in Hong Kong and then hear it fight it out with the Black Information Network in Detroit.

I live in a valley which is a radio dead spot and even though I get quite a few TV stations with a medium sized outdoor antenna I can tune in nothing at all with either of my home theatre receivers probably because my old farmhouse is chuck full of nails, flashing and other electromagnetic barriers.

Ex150deli mod review: still losing .3lb/day
You can do that a dozen times and if other people pick up an old thread you participated in by iMessage -- you don't even see the message. It's just lost to the ether! You have no control over how those other people group text, and unless they pick up a new green bubble group text, you're just left out. Absolutely infuriating. Because so much of my extended family is on iPhone/iMessage, this issue -- alone -- has kept me chained to iPhone for years, despite repeated attempts to escape.

I'm pretty excited about this development and am saddened there appears to be no way to get it immediately.

This is a brilliant idea. It would be even better if there was a strict formula or framework, e.g. hypothesis, resources, methods, experiment, results, discussion. In that way, it would serve as a citable resource. Teachers have something called “action research” which could be boiled down to this same format.
