You have the same "trust is" situation about safety of fracking, mining, chemical industry, water treatment plants, lead leaks from pipes, baby formula, plastic bottles, and air quality downwind from fossil power plants.

Radioactivity level is actually one thing you can easily measure yourself without having to trust the big bad government.

BTW: did you know coal power plants release uranium into the air? Coal is "clean" only in election ads. The real one is too expensive to filter, and burned in such massive volumes that even tiny impurities are significant.
Alright, then I'll be the CEO.
You're trying to clarify the neat categories you'd like to draw between layers of abstraction. As if to say "oh absolutely it effects the raw input (active perception), and maybe a tiny bit of that subconscious processing one step above there (passive perception), but I've never had it leak all the way up the chain to the seat of consciousness itself (hallucination)". Which is fine I suppose though I don't see what this structure adds.

You're correct that my immediate tests are all at the lowest level of abstraction. I picked them simply because they are the types of distortions which manifest first and quickest and least ambiguously. If you or anyone else isn't sure if the acid has kicked in, or is uncertain that they are experiencing any changes, these are the debugging tools. At higher levels of abstraction you get things like streamers, transposing of near identical objects, and sometimes even weird face distortions.

The taste thing is quite curious to me. Have you considered setting up an experiment to try and pin down exactly which flavors are distorted and how?

While I think this is true in Zuckerberg's case, he's more concerned with his legacy than his net worth.
The fact that AMR uses a very complex analysis-synthesis loop (with subtle differences between its 8 bit rate modes) makes speaker recognition much harder (and therefore more error prone), but perhaps they decided that they can live with the higher error rates. Future voice communications will use neural audio codecs which can achieve higher audio quality at low bitrates, but the issue with voice cloning remains, as just like AMR it’s synthetic.

Fraud detection from detecting stress in your voice however has no scientific basis, no matter how high the audio quality. There are tons of reasons for someone to be stressed that have nothing to do with fraud…

This is a fantastic example of the sort of real world problems encountered when writing "system software" that are not addressed by a language change. Yes, klint offers assistance, and it does draw in some limited sense on properties offered by Rust. But in essence it is a standalone tool that could also be implemented for C or other languages (it relies on annotations, just like a C version would).

This is not to deny the things that Rust does bring to the table, but it's cool to see how it cannot really address the central problem:

> How RCU is implemented in the Linux kernel lifts sleep in atomic context from "it's bad because it might cause deadlock" to "it's bad because it can cause use-after-free".

Klint doesn't provide a way to prevent code from doing the wrong thing, it only acts a checker that things have been done right (probably). That's cool (and very useful), but quite different from e.g. "you can't make this mistake in Rust".

Eh, kinda.

There is the run from ‘can’t liquidate fast enough’, and there is the run from ‘can liquidate fast enough, but don’t have enough value if they do’.

The first one any bank is susceptible to, the second one is a bad bank issue - and it means that any sustained rate of deposit outflow is going to eventually implode it, as they’ll run out of value at some point regardless of how slow the draw down is.

That’s because that second scenario is essentially forced ‘mark to market’, which unlike ‘stress tests’ and regulator driven accounting standards, can’t be gamed. That’s the real issue here.

SVB was in the last category, but everyone is pretending it was in the first category because this problem is systemic due to fed reductions in interest rates for so long. We’re trying really hard to not look behind the curtain because it’s too scary.

The really interesting thing is easy fed cash has caused this issue globally. Global interest rates have been suppressed everywhere the USD touches, even China. Now that they’re ending, the bill coming due is a global one.

That’s why the fed is willing to take all these bonds at par for cash - they recognize they created this mess and don’t want it to spread, as it will implode the system and break the orderly turnaround they are trying to accomplish.

Pain spread over years in ways the system can absorb without causing an out of control spiral is the goal. Retirees eating dogfood (or starving), and mobs of angry unemployed 20 something men burning cities are the thing they are trying to avoid.

> Of course there is. The former constraints the type (or return-type) of the function it is used in, the latter does not.

That's not a semantic difference, but a syntactic one. Syntactic differences are expressed by which programs are accepted or rejected by the language; semantic differences are expressed by programs exhibiting different behaviours.

To show a semantic difference you need to find P and Q such that when the value of P is the same in the two programs, the value of Q could be different; that's what expresses the semantics of the code between P and Q. Again, there are some (e.g. P: `(t = currentThread(), true)`, Q: `currentThread() == t`), but they're purely technical.

> I don't remember saying anything about async/await in my original post though.

You said that the lack of need of a syntactic kind for asynchronous routines is a fallacy. It is not. Everything that you can describe with sync and async routines your can describe, with the same ease and semantics, with just sync routines and threads. There is no need for a special syntactic category of asynchronous subroutines.

I don't see any viable way for Julius Caesar to succeed in Parthia. Compared to the Gauls, Parthia was far more politically cohesive, had better trained and equipped soldiers, and presented more logistical difficulties (Antony benefited a lot from having Cleopatra's support and still failed). Fighting a long and grueling war like that so far away from Rome would have meant leaving his domestic political situation in the hands of his allies -- and he didn't really have anybody capable he could trust to do that.

* Send a proposal to strace. :)

Additionally:

(a) As others have mentioned, it's entirely normal to initially feel like one doesn't understand a new code-base of non-trivial size enough to modify it. One of the skills that participating in a programme like GSoC can provide is learning the tools & strategies that you can use to assist in growing your understanding of new code bases.[1]

(b) From an outside perspective, the fact you're aware of the existence of `strace`, have an interest in contributing to the project & have already poked around in the source code in an attempt to understand it are big positive indicators & differentiate you.

(c) That you're using a tool like `git blame` to assist in your exploration indicates that you've already learned some of the tools/strategies you can use which is also a positive. (As an aside, today I learned about the tool `git-dive` which is intended to be a more powerful form of `git blame`, you might be interested in checking it out: <https://github.com/gitext-rs/git-dive>)

(d) Also, with regard to `strace` specifically, you might gain some insight from this recent video: "strace feels like magic — let's fix that (with Rust)" <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=engduNoI6DE>. While the video uses Rust for the implementation it also provides a general overview of how `strace` works. (This might be a useful intro to Rust syntax, if you're not currently familiar: <https://fasterthanli.me/articles/a-half-hour-to-learn-rust> (BTW, it is also extremely normal to not understand everything/anything about Rust code on first sight. :) ))

(e) Personally, in the past I've found it extremely easy to talk myself out of submitting proposals for opportunities such as this but my current perspective is: if I have doubts about whether or not I'm experienced/qualified enough to submit a proposal then I'm definitely not qualified to evaluate whether I should submit a proposal--so I definitely should submit a proposal to give those who are qualified the opportunity to evaluate it. (After all, if you don't currently maintain the `strace` project you have no idea what their experience has taught them is important in order for people to successfully contribute.)

Hope some of that is useful.

[0] re: "advices" -- in this context, "advice" is the preferred word[2]. I mention this as written communication is important & based on your previous HN comments this seems to be a pattern of incorrect pluralization rather than a typo. Note: I do not have perfect grammar. :)

[1] Also, I would encourage you to take notes of what you don't understand or issues you ran into when you start exploring a project. You can then document these hurdles/barriers to new contributors for the project so that maintainers are (at least) aware of them. This is one situation where your relative inexperience with a project is in itself valuable because your perspective is one maintainers no longer have. (And such hurdles are important to identify for projects that are actively looking to attract & nurture new contributors.)

First of all, I'm optimistic about this. Apprenticeships could even trickle up. Here's what I mean. The article talks about an apprenticeship in the insurance industry where you're taking college classes while working a day job. This could expand into other areas, such as junior engineers / designers / programmers. It might not replace college, but turn college into something that blends with job training in a more explicit way, so that it's not an either-or choice.

But I'm wary because we don't know the breadth of what these apprenticeships actually look like, the long term prospects of the people who go through them, or the attrition rate. Remember the private for-profit college scandals. College graduates have been studied to death, but has the same scrutiny been applied to the trades?
This phenomenon cuts both ways. Ralph Nader in the 70s kept telling falsehoods about the health hazards of nuclear power, seemed immune to correction, and had a platform with the press uncritically propagating his claims. (Documented in Petr Beckmann's book at that time.) In retrospect this seems like a hinge point in history leading to our current energy problems.

Someone's incentive towards some point of view is not evidence either way about an object-level claim. It's only useful for questions like attention allocation, or like how someone could be so wrong after you've established they're probably wrong.
I think you are conflating a few things. The premise of your question is wrong in a few places, but overall I will just say inflation is still trending down.

Still, looking at the current situation, I think all founder should posit a few things:

- Long term: the age of venture capital is going away. Gone will be the days when there is free money to throw at longshots on profitability. Your ideas will increasingly need to bootstrap themselves.

- Short term: STOP SITTING ON SO MUCH MONEY IN CHECKING ACCOUNTS! Spend the money or at least hire a treasurer for crying out loud!

They still sell the Mac Pro. It costs $6000+ and it's whole raison d'etre is to basically be a box that has PCI-e slots. And a big part of that is GPU upgrades. Isn't that why folks were so excited for the 2019 Mac Pro? You blame some random Libre Linux distro (which is philosophically against you doing what you're doing!) for not booting on a random laptop with an Nvidia card but who do you blame for a Mac Pro not booting with a GeForce card installed? I just think it's an insane unfair double standard.

Yeah, the machine bricking when the SSD is a big problem. Waiting a week for parts or a replacement is ridiculous and you can't even boot off an external backup while you wait. That's awful. Especially if you have any BTO config because a wait is guaranteed.

macOS updates are insanely slow. I have timed several at 40+ minutes even for just a point update. In that amount of time I can completely reinstall Ubuntu and get set back up. I have never had a Linux or Windows update take that long even on slower worse hardware. Maybe I could get one that slow if I paired an ancient Atom processor with a 4200RPM HDD or something, not a relatively recent i7 with a fast SSD.

C# is an awesome language and I've worked professionally with it on and off over the course of my career. I'll never take another job at a shop that uses it though. Every job I've taken where it was the primary language forced windows on me and a whole bunch of "enterprisey" BS. They also tended to be spots where the engineering dept was considered a cost center and not a value creation unit. This is just my experience of course but I've got anecdata from colleagues which correlates. I even recall reading about the stigma attached to C#/.NET in "Cracking the Coding Interview" so there must be something there...

I also found that startups (my preferred work env) tend to filter you out when you have too much of that on your resume which is super shitty IMO but it's a thing. I'd love to see that change. Until then I guess I'll stick with Kotlin and TypeScript.
The holocaust is not necessarily unique as an instance of ethnic cleansing or genocide. But it was unique in that it was the first instance of industrialized genocide, and was carried out with a degree of bureaucratic process and precision not often observed. Thus it generated a volume of documentation that gives unique insight into how humans might be capable of these sort of atrocities against their neighbors.

Something similar exists for slavery (and Jim Crow) in the US, but we as a nation do not have the fortitude to confront our past in a way the Germans have.
There's also often little punishment for a provider acting outside of consent or court order.

For half of my confinement, the health care providers had neither my consent nor a court order allowing care. Some of them chose to touch me against my will anyway. I presented a signed/sworn affidavit with the signatures of two doctors, another nurse, an HSI detective, and a federal judge showing they had acted before they had a court order or consent. The state board rejected the claim, stating medical care providers can provide care involuntarily even when the patient is alert/oriented/capable of informed denial of consent even when there is no order and in my case even when there was no evidence of altered mental state or mental disorder.

That is, the state board's claim is a health care provider can do what they damn well please under the banner of health care without consent, regardless of the (lack) of presence fo a court order or other legal basis otherwise. There's simply no punishment.

The interesting thing is, when they finally did get a warrant to act without consent, they refused to do anything further. By then, their legal department got involved and realized I was going to sue the ever living shit out of them when nothing was found. That is, in the end it was discovered for some health care providers they never gave a single shit about the rights of the patient; the only thing that talks is money.

Final note:

To others reading this who find themselves in a similar situation, learn from someone who learned the hard way. "I don't consent" or "patient rights" or "get a warrant" don't work, even though they should be said for posterity. Here's what does: "lawsuit", "HIPAA complaint", "I will file a grievance", "I will be informing the medical board" (yes many of these may not work, but the doctor may not want the hassle even when they do have an order authorizing care.) Your denial of care has to involve something that makes things extremely inconvenient for them, simple appeal to ethics and patient rights do not work. THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE.
