Ctrl-F "rust"

https://rust-for-linux.com/ links to LWN articles at https://lwn.net/Kernel/Index/#Development_tools-Rust that suggest that only basic modules are yet possible with the rust support in Linux kernels 6.2 and 6.3.

Rust-for-linux links to the Android binder module though: https://rust-for-linux.com/Android-Binder-Driver.html :

> Android Binder Driver: This project is an effort to rewrite Android's Binder kernel driver in Rust.

> Motivation: Binder is one of the most security and performance critical components of Android. Android isolates apps from each other and the system by assigning each app a unique user ID (UID). This is called "application sandboxing", and is a fundamental tenet of the Android Platform Security Model.

> The majority of inter-process communication (IPC) on Android goes through Binder. Thus, memory unsafety vulnerabilities are especially critical when they happen in the Binder driver

... "Rust in the Linux kernel" (2021) https://security.googleblog.com/2021/04/rust-in-linux-kernel... :

> [...] We also need designs that allow code in the two languages to interact with each other: we're particularly interested in safe, zero-cost abstractions that allow Rust code to use kernel functionality written in C, and how to implement functionality in idiomatic Rust that can be called seamlessly from the C portions of the kernel.

> Since Rust is a new language for the kernel, we also have the opportunity to enforce best practices in terms of documentation and uniformity. For example, we have specific machine-checked requirements around the usage of unsafe code: for every unsafe function, the developer must document the requirements that need to be satisfied by callers to ensure that its usage is safe; additionally, for every call to unsafe functions (or usage of unsafe constructs like dereferencing a raw pointer), the developer must document the justification for why it is safe to do so.

> We'll now show how such a driver would be implemented in Rust, contrasting it with a C implementation. [...]

Is this the source for the rust port of the Android binder kernel module?:
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/native/...

This guide with unsafe rust that calls into the C, and then with next gen much safer rust right next to it would be a helpful resource too.

What of the post-docker container support (with userspaces also written in go) should be cloned to rust first?

What are some good examples of non-trivial Linux kernel modules written in Rust?
It’s not irrational. Nuclear isn’t that compatible with renewables because it is bad at load following (technical and economically even worse).

Further nuclear likely comes with catastrophes like Fukushima every few decades and the problem of nuclear waste (just calculate what posting a single person to watch it for a million years costs). Germany suffers from Chernobyl to this day with mushrooms and game being contaminated with radionuclides above legal limits.

Germany has managed to reduce both fossil fuel use in total as well as coal use for electricity while shutting down nuclear (https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Energiemix_Deutsch...). Nuclear now being shut down we can expect faster shutdown of coal plants.
In 2010 Germany delayed its nuclear phase-out (by 12 years), then the Fukushima accident led the opinion to demand a much quicker phase-out.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power_in_Germany#Closu...

Before 2013 and the current crisis Germany uses less and less coal, and gas (methane...) is stable:
https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/electricity-production-by...
What are you even talking about? https://www.nature.com/articles/s41593-023-01304-9

It's fMRI, there's nothing remote about it.
That's why I mentioned "real life". People may not know the specific risks associated with specific causes, but they think they understand the overall risks of living with coal power. After all, they have already lived their lives with coal power, and they have seen many other people do so. If the quality of life has been acceptable, the risks must be acceptable as well, if there are no alternatives that are obviously better.

On the other hand, people tend to overestimate unfamiliar risks. If you only hear about nuclear disasters (or earthquakes or hurricanes) in the news, it's easy to assume that the risks are more significant than they actually are.
That was the first thing I thought of when I read the article. The verdict seems to be conflicting with the supporting evidence:

> He can play the guitar, but “the world is filled with plenty of good guitar players, many of them my match or better,” he writes in his excellent memoir, Born to Run

Should we assume that there aren't as many good lyric writers, who are Springsteen's match or better? This doesn't sound plausible, nor it is hinted by the article.
Likely not as much as a risk of an F150 ramming into the side of your car?
Thank you for sharing, the wiki has a pretty funny note:

> Lewis Carroll, in Sylvie and Bruno Concluded (1893), made the point humorously with his description of a fictional map that had "the scale of a mile to the mile". A character notes some practical difficulties with such a map and states that "we now use the country itself, as its own map, and I assure you it does nearly as well."

These imports are in part due to Macron's exceptionally foolish decision to close the Fessenheim nuclear reactor in northeast France (near German border). The reactor had had all the needed upgrades and could have kept working for many years, but instead Macron decided to follow through on an old campaign promise of his universally reviled predecessor.
Hiring people because they share your hobby is tacky and bad business.
Brilliant work - I "get" how this works, I've just spent about half-an-hour playing with this (Chrome browser on my kitchen ChromeBook), singing into it and letting it "listen" to the ambient background noise here (old cooker clock ticking, fridge compressor rumbling occasionally). Useful, educational, and fun also - thanks for publishing/hosting this so others can enjoy it!
If there's a small amount of power available then it's not worth mining. If there's a lot of power available it's worth building a transmission line. There's no rational economic system where the ideal case is build-to-waste - that's just policy failure. Bitcoin just provides economic incentive to create that policy failure instead of minimize it.
Sigh. What can I say? Google it, and at the VERY TOP of the results page is a graph that is captioned "Per capita out-of-pocket expenditures 1970-2021". To the right of it is another graph entitled "Total national health expenditures, US $ per capita, 1970-2021".

Apparently manual LLVMs were a thing back then.
GPT4 is incapable of sharing opinions. If that is a technical limitation then that should answer your question. Do any of the other LLM models hold consistent opinions? I’m going to guess that’s a no.
(Edit: also see https://twitter.com/MaartenSap/status/1587554332316119040)

GPT4 also cannot store and retrieve memory sequentially and iteratively in real time like humans can. There is a hard limit of a few pages of text. Then poof, memento. Sure, those memories can be synthesized over the next few months in a very costly process that starts with reading your chat histories. But it needs another breakthrough-level advancement before that’s on par with humans. So we are still some years off.

https://twitter.com/bengoertzel/status/1639378920465395712

I’m sure if the maestro himself were to chime in here he would be able to write a full book (literally) on why GPT4 is not AGI.
Where I live in western Canada there's still some regional dairies that have reusable glass bottles (they even put the year the bottle entered circulation, they seem to last several years pretty easily).

In Denver, there's a dairy that still does morning delivery in reusable bottles, albeit plastic.

The model still seems to work fine on a certain scale.
Thats available in Discord integration. We are bringing it to web very soon.
Can you tell me a bit more about interview procedure? I have seen a lot of reviews on the internet that the whole process is 6+ rounds.
Do you have specifics? A lot of people say things like that when they're toe-to-toe with human psychology but humanity still has a whole lot of problems that a whole lot of people are pretty heavily incentivized to avoid. I don't see how this would be any different.
Actually Germany is on their way to doing this.

They’re about to double the amount of carbon taxes levied on large trucks. That tax used to be used for building new roads but it’s now all being given over to new rail infrastructure.

I just found this, shows light pollution. Crazy how the East is much worse. Also Alberta?!?
Adding yet more criminalization and prosecution is ineffective, as can be seen across the rest of the US; looking at per-capita numbers instead of absolutes, the diversity of interstate drug laws seems to be well-represented in the rankings: http://www.citymayors.com/society/usa-cities-homelessness.ht...

The largely-untried approach is to assess why people are being afflicted with mental health issues and why people are turning to drugs, and to actually address those underlying factors. Drug abuse and mental illness are symptoms of a larger problem, not the cause. That larger problem is likely the one producing other symptoms, like the majority of adults under 30 living with their parents, or 11% of all Americans being at risk of eviction.
There aren't really any non-trivial mainline modules, since the Rust support is so new. There's the non-mainline Asahi M1 GPU driver though! It will eventually be mainlined, but IIRC some more Rust support code needs to be mainlined first.

I never claimed it was a 100% explanation. Italy and Germany had a parliamentary system, and ended up with Mussolini and Hitler - so a parliamentary system is no foolproof guarantee of avoiding bad outcomes.

But the finding that parliamentary systems produce superior outcomes has good empirical support in the literature. See for example https://www.bu.edu/sthacker/files/2012/01/Are-Parliamentary-... https://theconversation.com/parliamentary-systems-do-better-...

I would never claim that 100% of the problems faced by either the US or Latin America are due to a presidential system. My claim is merely that it hasn’t helped them, and that while a parliamentary system is no panacea, it likely would have avoided or lessened some of them
I get what you're saying but you have to follow that logically to the end. 10x or more of what? What does 50 bytes cost over the wire and what is 10x that? Is this really the thing we are worrying about? Is the best argument that HATEOS costs slightly more fractions of a penny than a json API?
It's private and sure the owner is rich, but it's still a burn and nowhere near recuperating the cost. A bunch of advertisers left or paused spending as noted.

A little lesson on business, Musk bought it for 44 billion, at time it was not quite a profitable company but had 4.4 billion in revenue, if he slashes the operating budget by a huge margin and laying off everyone, then whoopee it's profitable, but it's nowhere near the amount of revenue/profit it needs to pay back the debt taken on to finance the purchase. private market analysts report on ad spending all project twitter revenues to drop substantially (40%) based on ad spend data.
Just like with photoshop, there was never such a period, like, who wouldn't want a battery lasting one week 8 years ago???
You don't think that being subject to destitution might result in trauma and/or motivate someone to turn to drugs as a coping mechanism?
Your argument (I think) is that bitcoin mining machines that don't solve a block directly are a complete waste, and only bitcoin mining machines that that solve a block do anything useful. Since 99.7% of mining machines don't solve a block, bitcoin is 333 times more wasteful than in needs to be. Is that right?

This misses the point that mining is probabilistic. Mining pools pay out based on the number of hashes tried, not the number of blocks solved. Your misunderstanding seems to be that the utility of something can be based on a probabilistic outcome. It is akin to saying that airbags are 99% (or whatever) wasteful because most of them aren't actually involved in a crash, and therefore 100x inefficient. You pay extra for a car with an airbag because it has value in the rare event you do have a crash it has immense value. Similarly, a mining pool would pay a single bitcoin mining rig to mine for years without it solving a single block, because the mining pool would realize the entire value if it did find a block, and so it pays out just under the expected value of this reward times the probability of the event happening.

Second, your argument ignores the fact that the unit of a "mining machine" is completely arbitrary. If mining machines were on average 2x larger and more powerful (but there were half as many of them), then by your argument bitcoin mining would be 2x less wasteful. That makes zero sense.
This doesn’t really counter what the OP was saying.

Parent’s comment is calling his misleading statement prompt injection but it’s hyperbole at best. What is meant here is that this comment is not actionable in the sense that prompt injection directly controls its output.

In parent’s example no one is taking a HN commenter’s statement with more than a grain of salt whether or not it’s picked up by some low quality news aggregator. It’s an extremely safe bet that no unverified HN comment has resulted in direct action by a military or significantly affected main stream media perceptions.

Most humans - particularly those in positions of power - have levels of evidence, multiple sanity checks and a chain of command before taking action.

Current LLMs have little to none of this and RLHF is clearly not the answer.
The concept of where definitions reside is a philosophical question that has been debated for centuries. One prominent view is that definitions exist in a realm of abstract objects, separate from the physical world, as argued by Plato in his theory of Forms. However, other philosophers have proposed different views, such as the idea that definitions are constructed through language and human understanding. Ultimately, the nature of definitions is a complex and contested topic in philosophy.
Do you guys have any pricing details?
> Since 99.7% of mining machines don't solve a block, bitcoin is 333 times more wasteful than in needs to be. Is that right?

Absolutely not, it's millions of times more wasteful than that. You don't need to allocate a single miner to a single block and then throw it out. It's just so many order of magnitude more wasteful than it needs to be that it's hard to reason about. You should be able to run the entire Bitcoin network on a single Raspberry Pi. It's literally 2tps, each a few bytes.

> Your misunderstanding seems to be that the utility of something can be based on a probabilistic outcome.

There's no misunderstanding. The kWh and kT of e-waste don't need to happen, it's just a poorly designed proof of concept that ran amok.

> If mining machines were on average 2x larger and more powerful (but there were half as many of them), then by your argument bitcoin mining would be 2x less wasteful.

No, I'm measuring waste by weight, in kilotons per year. In addition to energy consumption. So if a machine was twice as large it would contribute the same amount of waste in both columns.
FWIW, my experience has been that hardly anyone smokes in Australia compared to Europe. The policies must be working in some way.
They asked Watson of course.
There are power generation facilities in Canada that are paying the US to take their excess energy.
> You can, in fact, lift a country out of poverty without also inflicting an authoritarian state on the populace.

> Half the world managed it — you’re just making excuses for authoritarianism.

You mean the half of the world that enriched itself by inflicting "authoritarianism" on other populations - or indeed, their own populations too - unless you don't consider the treatment of Black and Native people in the US to be authoritarianism, or the Irish in the UK, etc etc?
It has different effects on different time scales.

Short term, the supply for a specific area increases while other factors are basically constant, exerting downward pressure on prices.

Long term, the positive effects of density increase the desirability of the area, pushing prices up.
At least in France the trend hasn't come, the French Greens (EELV) are still anti-nuclear, as confirmed by their latest party congress a few months ago and their recent vehement fear mongering campaign ("brutal return towards a radioactive future" [0]). What's even worse is that their position has been adopted by the left-wing coalition as a whole, and when questioned on this some Green politicians have decided to turn it into a class/race issue (i quote, "maybe only white urban engineers from the high classes care about the energy mix"[1]).

Meanwhile EPRs, developed by a French company, are (finally) starting to come online which means next deployments will have learned lots of valuable lessons and thus be faster and cheaper.

Stainless | Founding Engineer | NYC ONSITE | Full-time Stainless is building the platform for high-quality, easy-to-use APIs.

Our first product is SDKs as a service – you send us your OpenAPI spec, and we generate pacakges in all the major languages and publish them to npm/pypi/etc (think `npm install your-company`). These SDKs are world-class: you get an idiomatic wrapper with autocomplete, types, etc. (I built a version of this at Stripe for their SDKs, and am now building a better version for everyone.)

Next, we want to make it easy to build amazing REST APIs. REST is simple and ubiquitous, but right now it’s also messy, chaotic, and hard to get right. We’re going to build great open-source standards and tooling that bring the benefits of GraphQL (types, field selection/expansion, standards) and gRPC (types, speed, versioning) to REST.

From there, we plan to build out a rich family of developer platform products – everything an API team would need to deliver a terrific DX to their partners and/or customers.

We’re about a year old, under 5 people, have strong revenue, and are selling to companies you interact with every day. We’re backed by Sequoia, a bunch of (ex-)Stripe people, and founders of Next.js, Prisma, and Segment.

As a founding engineer, you’ll get autonomy to build great products, skilled peers, opportunity for tremendous impact, competitive salary, and a very competitive ownership stake.

We’re looking for exceptionally productive, thoughtful, tasteful, and kind people with a passion for making software development better for everyone. Want to build the future of API tooling? Say hi: alex at stainlessapi.com
Doesn't this research present a very attractive fourth option, if it's successful?
What about gas/petrol? If your locality doesn't have the density to support useful public transportation, you live in the suburbs. It might be a giant sprawling suburb bigger than some cities, but that doesn't automatically make it a city. A city needs to have city-grade services in other to qualify as a city.
>Why is it that many of the same people who argue against more roads and more parking lots on the basis of induced demand preventing more roads from meaningfully solving congestion

Well, partially because induced demand is a little bit of a meme, and partially because it's actually different.

See, if you have a city that's dense enough that transit actually represents a high share of trips, it's possible that increasing road capacity will cause people to switch from transit to driving, which is essentially a wash for economic activity, and quickly replenishes congestion. In these very dense areas it's more appropriate to build infrastructure for other modes of transportation — just as it makes more sense to build apartments instead of houses.

But if you have a city where trips are already almost always by car, then any induced demand actually represents a new trip that wasn't taken before. This must be distinguished from the true Braess paradox [1], which is rare. More trips usually mean that you actually improved people's lives, which is a good thing.

The thing is that some modern urbanist activists just absolutely hate cars, so they exaggerate the case against roads. There are still other reasons to avoid expanding the road network: it costs money, it creates pollution, it causes crash risks, it drives sprawl and balkanization, and it contributes to impermeable ground cover and urban heat islands. Parking lots do all of this and make life more difficult for people who are walking. But the notion among some urbanists that building roads does absolutely no good is simply wrong. The literature on the economic benefits of road construction is extensive.

I think that people who study the issue are leery of alienating their already tiny support base by gainsaying them about this, though. I personally like to point out that replacing intersections with roundabouts can achieve most of the goals of road widening while improving safety and pollution. Strong Towns in its early days emphasized building roads in such a way that all built capacity would be used as effectively as possible, but some more recent activists have been unhappy that they aren't more stridently anti-car.

Catching criminals is a game of cat and mouse.

I agree-face consequences.

But, it just seems as though the public is tacitly trading in freedoms for security theater, with little real benefit to society.
What if every scientist had said this? We’d be living in mud huts and dying at 35. Progress is important. Nobody personally has to commit to it but as a society we need some people to.
It's exactly what I know it to be. What I don't know is what your point actually is.
