In Rust if you have a &Thing right here, you can't give that to some new thread unless you can promise the thread has a shorter lifespan than the &Thing does - otherwise the thread could access it after it ceases to exist, and you've introduced Undefined Behaviour.

Without scoped threads this means all references you want to give to a thread must be allowed to live forever, the lifetime 'static, since your threads might live forever (the mechanism to kill them could be discarded unused somehow). Since scoped threads always cease to exist when they go out of scope, we can give them references that live any time longer than that scope.

Poverty persists because Americans have abandoned the notions of education and safety. Entire cities are destroyed by generational poverty but those are also the highest in crime. No one talks about the 20+ murders a weekend in South-side Chicago. No one. How do you expect children to get an education and lift themselves out of poverty when they are terrified of being gunned down every single day?

The worst parts of the US need a well-trained, well-monitored police state that will bring safety to those neighborhoods and so that the kids can get educated properly and level up into the middle class and higher. I'm all for freedom, but we can only achieve freedom once we have moved up in Maslow's hierarchy, and people in those neighborhoods don't have the foundation to thrive.

Second, we need to focus on education. Education, especially when run by people like those in charge of California's education system, is ruinous. Lowering standards only helps those white liberal educators feel better about themselves by seeing graduation percentages go up. But it leaves the children unable to compete and unprepared for the real world. It's like the story of Blind Side, where Michael Oher kept getting graduated to the next grade but he couldn't read. That's what is going on in California, when they start saying that mathematics propagates white supremacy, as if mathematics didn't originate outside of America. I believe the poorest areas of the US should get double or triple the number of teachers, so that class sizes are small and kids get the learning they need.

Safety and education. I believe those are what bring people out of poverty. My parents grew up in a war-torn country, and they grew up poor. My grandfather had a gambling addiction and never had enough money to pay tuition for my dad. Both my parents studied their asses off and immigrated to North America, and we became middle class. My siblings and I are all 1%ers or higher, and that's because we could thrive because of the education we received. We need to give kids in the worst areas a chance, but no one cares so places like Chicago, St. Louis, Baltimore, Missouri, etc are all left to fend for themselves in squalor and they will NEVER get out of it by themselves without safety and education.
>I have heard that the average equity grant is ~40k of value.

levels.fyi is pretty accurate. A staff engineer at Stripe gets around 260k base, 55k bonus and 360k in stock per year. I strongly doubt 40k is the average - $200k RSUs a year seems a lot more likely (unless they count commission-only sales people in the average, which would be weird).
When we talk about 2D graphics as a research problem, we're talking about native rendering of splines and strokes. JUCE does not have GPU-accelerated splines, it flattens the path to lines and rasterizes the coverage area into a texture that then gets uploaded to the GPU:

https://github.com/juce-framework/JUCE/blob/2b16c1b94c90d0db...

https://github.com/juce-framework/JUCE/blob/2b16c1b94c90d0db...

It also does stroke handling on the CPU:

https://github.com/juce-framework/JUCE/blob/2b16c1b94c90d0db...

Basically, this isn't really "GPU accelerated splines". It's a CPU coverage rasterizer with composting handled by the GPU.

The essential complexity of borrowing in Rust is more fundamental than the accidental complexity of the syntax that’s required to express borrowing. You could make something more verbose and a little more self-documenting and people will still struggle to write programs for which borrowing isn’t a good fit.
I never claimed one race was superior to the other - just different (and these differences make cultural cohesion difficult).

> However the magic of the plasticity of the human brain is that it can, with effort, overcome virtually any impediment

That’s quite the claim depending on how you define impediment, but as is this statement is too vague to argue with.

> I’d also point out that the more homogeneous the genetic population the worse overall outcomes tend to be.

Again this is a very vague statement where the degree of variation matters. Hybrid vigor is poorly understood and when the differences are too great result in genetically worse offspring on some axis (mules are a perfect example of this).

> So, yes, I think science is total against the idea of racial superiority not just out of its repugnant but just false and furthermore given the homogeneity issue impossible.

I’ve made no claims of superiority and you’re taking a holier than though stance against the straw man you made up. Please leave the emotional appeals out.

The important part is it safely allows you to pass references or other objects with lifetimes to those threads. (Or at least lets the compiler know so you can avoid having to write unsafe things yourself.)

This happened to be useful for something I was doing at work where the wrapper for a native C library expressed the required lifetimes of the library constructs using lifetimes. (Eg. You must set up Foo before Bar, and Foo must outlive Bar. It was OK to pass Bar and use it from multiple threads, but it had a lifetime attached. Using scoped threads we can satisfy the compiler's lifetime checker, since it knows even though we gave Bar to many threads, none of them outlive Foo.)
How much of this spending is really about creating defense jobs in the various representatives districts? Here is an article that argues defense spending is a form of indirect welfare.

Abstract:
this article, we present a new theory that, given the economic consequences of military spending, some governments may use military spending as a means of advancing their domestic non-military objectives. Based on evidence that governments can use military spending as welfare policy in disguise, we argue that the role of ideology in shaping military spending is more complicated than simple left-right politics. We also present a theory that strategic elites take advantage of opportunities presented by international events, leading us to expect govermments that favor more hawkish foreign policy policies to use low-level international conflicts as opportunities for increasing military spending. Using pooled time-series data from 19 advanced democracies in the post-World War I period, we find that government ideology, measured as welfore and

Things in the US are a bit different - for starters, there is not such thing as the Spanish “convenio”, thus companies are left to set their own terms, which, in most cases, is the bare minimum.

Large unions do exist in the US, but again, they do not organise as their Spanish counterparts, as they only exist attached to a trade or industry. Thus, workers who want to organise, cannot just go and say “we are now represented by this or that union”, and if there is not an union to their trade, they would need to self organise into a small union, which obviously does not have the same bargaining power as a larger one, see the Starbucks employees unionising across the US.

Eh, that's basically moot in the discussion of why people are poor. People have to earn money to put in those accounts. Real wages have fallen for the past 50 years. The barrier to entry for any job has increased (criminal record issues, college, certifications, responsibilities of multiple roles being lumped together), and some classes of jobs (primary and secondary sectors requiring lower education/skill) have diminished.
ANE is only accessible via coreml and internal apple frameworks so i would assume it wont be using ANE but maybe some neural accelerators in Intel/AMD/Nvidia processors and GPUs.

Accelerators inside GPU (like Tensorcores) seems like a lot better deal as you can easy utilize it without 4 abstraction layers with only some unknown to us mortals operations support inside. (And my god i hope apple will allow to programmable run ANE or at least put this api inside Metal framework cause right now working with Coreml for anything new is a nightmare and even some old models are broken on new versions of coremltools)

Hi there. It's all publicly available data.

> If such change to Individual plans is to occur, we plan to grandfather-in all early adopters (meaning all current and future paid customers, up until this change) allowing them to keep their existing subscription price as long as they don’t cancel it.

My guess is that they will focus on the "subscription _price_" wording. Technically the price didn't change, since you can still pay them $10. They "just" changed the terms.

It's because generally people want everyone to just be able to live their lives and not get discriminated, bullied, or even physically harmed for who they are, what they believe in, where they come from, or who they love.

Things you can not influence, things you can not change, things that do not harm others.

The intolerance towards intolerant is necessary for that to happen, which explains the battle.

People censoring themselves to not be hateful might honestly be a good thing, maybe they should figure out where those thoughts come from and if they should reconsider them. I would advocate for them to get help, therapy, social support, whatever they struggle with. I think being caring and empathetic strengthens society in the short and long term.

This seems like subpixel anti-aliasing which I thought was the greatest thing for LCDs. Then Apple comes along with Retina displays and uses grayscale anti-aliasing and super-resolutions. The only time I find that it matters is on those rare occasions where I attach an HD LCD rather than a 4k+. It would likely matter more with larger FOV than a TV or monitor such as VR. Densities keep going up, so will matter less and less.

The article has a description of what an operator is wrong. The definition of an operator originally was...

> An Operator is an application-specific controller that extends the Kubernetes API to create, configure, and manage instances of complex stateful applications on behalf of a Kubernetes user. It builds upon the basic Kubernetes resource and controller concepts but includes domain or application-specific knowledge to automate common tasks.

This is the original definition of an operator [1]. People no use them for stateless things and domain specific work has taken off.

You can look at the Kubernetes docs [2] to see refinements on it...

> Kubernetes' operator pattern concept lets you extend the cluster's behaviour without modifying the code of Kubernetes itself by linking controllers to one or more custom resources. Operators are clients of the Kubernetes API that act as controllers for a Custom Resource.

For good reason. I live in Ottawa and interact with a good many government workers that aren't shy about how little work they do. I'm not convinced increasing comp is going to somehow motivate these folks into greater productivity.
I'm not here to argue about Chomsky's basic claims (which I do not find useful), but I am here specifically to argue against the idea that children easily learn language with somehow way less data than ChatGPT. Those who claim otherwise simply have not spent a couple years with a baby.
Reducing the U.S. military budget by 20% and spending it on poverty relief programs could eliminate poverty to a large degree in the U.S. (not entirely, but that's unrealistic).

It's not that the government doesn't have the money or that we're not paying enough in taxes. It's that we're spending it on the wrong things (if we want to have a generally prosperous and stable society).
CoreGraphics is a CPU rasterizer. It doesn't use the GPU.
I find this unconvincing. If the energy in your organized matter is not itself organized, the matter is not going to be moving in an organized way, which means it's dead.
I've borked both my Arch installations and NixOS (by my own stupidly, not just upgrades) a couple of times.

Can anyone recommend a decent video documentary (I don't read so good) on the early British computer/electronics era?

I really find it fascinating how they had their own little market, industry and culture/ecosystem that seems to have spawned many modern companies like ARM, Raspberry Pi, etc, despite the overwhelming dominance of US and international heavyweights that captured most of the related markets during the 2000-2010s.
"The human mind is not, like ChatGPT and its ilk, a lumbering statistical engine for pattern matching, gorging on hundreds of terabytes of data and extrapolating the most likely conversational response or most probable answer to a scientific question. On the contrary, the human mind is a surprisingly efficient and even elegant system that operates with small amounts of information; it seeks not to infer brute correlations among data points but to create explanations."
Military spending as a percent of GDP has been steadily declining, especially after Iraq: https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/MS.MIL.XPND.GD.ZS?name_...

The US government already spends more on healthcare and social security than on the military.

Most of that military spending is salaries for US workers. Guess where that $15 billion carrier is getting built? In the US from US parts. Its a jobs programs that conservative senators can support.
Probably not. Even if we succeed in stopping senescence completely, most people would still die of accidents in a scale of hundreds to thousands of years, eventually.

You don’t seem to understand how this business works so let me explain. Air travel prices have been dropped significantly over the last few decades. What used to be a luxury reserved for the wealth can now enjoyed by folks paying as little as $10 for a 2 hour flight (e.g. RyanAir). The average economy experience used to resemble that of a business class ticket with a price to match. Over the years, this experience was whittled down to what we have to today to make air travel affordable to the masses and capture more demand. Airlines are a notoriously low-margin business and most of them make nearly no money — this is why there are literally thousands of them that have gone out of business. Often their greatest asset is their loyalty program and the rest is a massive liability.

Whether lowering emissions is a direct consequence or an indirect consequence, increasing seat density does just that so suck it up.

The answer is that not all men are created equal. However, that mundane fact doesn't transfer power to a centralised entity that will "protect" the poor, so you will hear the usual but wrong explanation instead.
The USPS's unique financial burden is that they are forced by congress to pre-fund their pension obligations so they can't pull a Chicago, calculate things based on insane assumptions of returns and go "whoops we're bankrupt" at some unspecified date in the future as many a pension system has done.

In literally any other context you would be cheering this on.

Congress has done a lot of terrible things but the burden they have placed upon USPS isn't one of them.

What alternative are you suggesting? Some kind of functional grouping?
I'm getting a little off-track here, and had the same reaction as you, but I think in general the idea that "as competition increases to infinity, consumer choice increases to infinity as well" isn't quite right.

I think there's an implicit assumption that as options increase, variability in those choice options offered increases as well, which isn't always the case.

To the extent that the competitors all are constrained by some common variable (a business model oriented around loaned money, for example), they will not vary along some variables, which might result in the absence of some critical choice option.

I guess I'm feeling nitpicky about this but sometimes I think the US really needs some collective reflection on the meaning of competition, who is supplying it (private, public, government, etc.), how it is attained (choice expression through monetary-based purchases or non-monetary mechanisms such as votes) and so forth.

Often I think you can think of government services or regulation as another competitive mechanism; it's just attained indirectly through votes, and might encourage competition in different ways (e.g., either by acting as a competitor directly, as in the case of the USPS, or by changing the constraint landscape as in the case of regulation).
Despite absolute dollars per person spending increasing since the Reagan years, Americans remain in poverty because:

1. Raising health care costs

2. Very little poverty spending actually goes to the recipients' pockets

3. Decline of union membership

4. Home ownership is out of reach and the rent is too damn high

5. Banking is expensive for poor people

Most of these issues can be traced back to corporate lobbying.

The moral of the story is that poverty is a policy choice.

People have been discussing how to make Rust usable on the rust-lang issue trackers and RFC repositories all the time that I’ve observed from the peanut gallery. Before the stable 1.0 release as well.

It’s not for a lack of trying.
Pythonic Rust you’re speaking of sounds an awful lot like Swift.
You raise another good point which I didn't even consider. When I upgrade my Linux computers, I can more often than not continue working like nothing is happening, while the installation finishes. Only issue is nvidia drivers which require a reboot after finishing the upgrade, otherwise applications like Alacritty doesn't open anymore. Usually I work around this by upgrading everything but nvidia the first time, then do the nvidia update separately. And once full update is finished, you do a normal reboot and everything is complete.

But with Windows and macOS, you're dead in the water while the process is being done, so even if you wanted to, you couldn't continue working.
