I have no idea what you're talking about with "general purpose array abstraction" and "map your types over the memory". A struct in C is just a fixed size chunk of memory where the fields have a fixed offset. Access is a simple memory read/write. An array in C is also just a chunk of memory, where subscripting is some simple pointer math. There is no UB involved. If you could give a concrete example of what you're talking about and why it's better in Rust than in C, that might be helpful.

I did the same s/ai/internet thing yesterday when I asked Bard to give me analyst ratings for cisco stock before the dot-com crash:

"The highest analyst price target for Cisco stock before the dot-com crash was $125 per share. This target was set by Merrill Lynch analyst Henry Blodget in April 2000, just as the dot-com bubble was beginning to burst. Blodget's target was based on his belief that Cisco was well-positioned to benefit from the continued growth of the Internet."

I was looking to compare with analyst targets set for NVDA yesterday. Analysts now are saying the exact thing about Nvidia being able to capture the continued growth of AI:

"JPMorgan set its price target to $500 Wednesday, double its previous estimate and among the highest out of the big banks. Analyst Harlan Sur said this is the “first massive wave of demand in generative AI,” with more gains to follow. He reiterated his overweight rating on the stock."

The ironic bit of course is that my own research here is powered by Bard which probably used an NVDA gpu to train it. But even those dot-com analyst calls were probably emailed around on equipment sold by Cisco.

If I were holding that stock right now, regardless of how right these analysts end up being over the next year or so. I would sell today

> The development of modern technology, including GPS, means lighthouses are no longer essential for navigation, said John Kelly of the GSA’s office of real property disposition. And while the Coast Guard often maintains aids to navigation at or near lighthouses, the structures themselves are often no longer mission critical.

Hopefully this modern technology and these aids to navigation don't all rely on space based hardware to function otherwise if there's a hot war in space or otherwise a case of Kessler Syndrome then we have a lot of ship wrecks baked into the equation.

Indeed. I've been using the .NET 8 previews with Native AOT on an M1 Mac for several weeks, and things work quite nicely.
Ah! For some reason I thought jails were built on something similar to chroot at the kernel level, meaning that it also came with the same security caveats.

(to be more accurate, I knew that it was not "on top" in the same way as Linux containers are built on top of chroot. )

It is fairly different though in scope. NVidia clearly is making tons of money from AI. Probably after OpenAI they are the company most directly impacted by AI.

The .com boom of the late 90s was different. Companies who had very little to do with the internet were adding ".com" to their name. I was a penny stock trader and that was one of the fastest ways companies would increase value -- add ".com" and issue a press release about how they plan to be "internet enabled" or "create a web presence".

Today most companies aren't getting a bump by talking about AI. You don't see Spotify changing their name to Spotify.AI. Companies are dabbling in offering AI, e.g., SnapChat, but they aren't shifting their whole focus to AI.

Now there is an industry of small companies building on AI, and I think that's healthy. A handful will find something of value. Going back to the early .com days -- I remember companies doing video/movie streaming over the web and voice chats. None of those early companies, AFAIK, still exist. But the market for this technology is bigger than its ever been.

I use Mozilla VPN rather than Mullvad because it was a nice way of supporting mozilla and thus firefox.

I also think that while mozilla may handle my finances, mullvad handle the VPN. Mozilla doesn't get the technical details of mullvad and thus don't know what IP I'm on, and I don't think mullvad know my name. Sure it's not quite cash in an envelope, but paranoia comes with a cost too.

> Also, has Mozilla VPN also a windows client, or is it more like the Opera Proxies (which were called VPN for some reason)?

No idea, but it has a linux client and an ios client. It's a nice simple wireguard VPN
The people who greenlighted this were the people who ousted those who built Firefox. The current crop of "leaders" have a vision that does not include Firefox being the best browser it can be.

Trust me, they're politically aware of what they are doing, and are only gauging outrage now. Give it some time and they'll figure out how to leverage the outrage, as they did before.

I concur, the factoid appears to be built upon self linking to other equally reliable articles published by Fortune and then citing they purchased the data, or possibly only insight, from a 3rd party data company. Without demonstrating methodology, equations, and sourcing in my opinion it's meaningless. The boilerplate for all of the articles, the 'this in an opinion piece' disclaimer at the end also inspires no confidence.

This seems like an article created to take advantage of the psychology behind the "we eat x amount of spiders in our sleep" sentiment. Even completely untrue, with no backing, getting the statement out subscribes people to believe it. I have to question why? Are the designs here to minimize H1B suffering from the layoffs? To get people to think, 'oh they are fine, 90% got a job quickly!'?

It just doesn't sit well with me.

Dedomenon meant given in the Biblical past, and data now. ("Take is as given", in a logical/mathematical sense).

For a database integrity scientist, "data destroyer" makes sense.
Laws can be cruel.
That's not how science works though. You generate a hypothesis about how something works, and then you execute an experiment that's designed to directly test the hypothesis as much as possible. If we had to just rely on slicing existing data, we wouldn't get very far. You can find data to confirm or deny about anything. Predicting the results before the experiment, and then confirming it works out that way is the much harder, and more valuable, part.

The issue "SSDs vs spinning disks" is such a big one, I feel like you should understand the differences there before digging into anything else.

An SSD is just a completely different beast from a spinning disk. Spinning disks are much slower and really want to read things linearly.

Most of your other questions - block sizes, caching, mmapping, file size, concurrency - the answers will be completely different on SSD vs spinning disk.
Gibbs sampling is not generative AI. Really, generative AI is not at all a well defined term.

I like the way you break down the emotional loop with criticism. For me, the way you've put this maps nicely to mindfulness practice. It's important to respond, rather than react to criticism. Taking a moment to listen to what your emotions are trying to tell you, and checking that against the facts of the situation is core to mindfulness.
As a counterpoint, if someone asks these questions in an interview of me, they'd still go to the "Had questions prepared" higher slice of rankings.

Prepared questions indicate you have initiative and do your homework. I'm hiring thinkers, not drones.

The only turn-off could be in the way they asked the questions and followed up -- aggressive? Not listening to my response closely? Not clarifying if I asked for more information?
I’m old[ish], and wasn’t hired, explicitly because of that. In fact, a couple of the interviewers made no effort to hide it. I suspect that this may come as a surprise to a lot of folks here, but age discrimination is every bit as illegal as race, sex, or disability discrimination.

If an industry makes a lot of money (f’rinstance, the finance industry), all kinds of toxic, illegal behavior is ignored, and it’s really difficult to effect change.

In industries that don’t make much money (teaching, social work, etc.), bad behavior is not tolerated in the slightest.

People mostly turned against this vaccine mandate because of the degree to which one political party normalized conspiratorial thinking among its base and made opposing it a part of their identity. The left complained about policy but still accepted that policy as necessary, while the right screamed about adrenochrome harvesting and the new world order. One side thought Fauci fumbled the messaging about mask effectiveness, but again, didn't oppose the vaccines or masking or quarantines, whereas the other side claimed Fauci and Biden cooked up COVID in a lab, and still spawn green accounts on HN calling for both to be hanged.

Let's not pretend the opposition to the vaccine mandates in the US was entirely rational. It was mostly a circus of derangement and paranoid delusion. The only question is whether enough time will pass until the next pandemic for culture to have moved on, or if we can just expect half the country to oppose vaccinations on general principle from now on.
I could see that. It's irrational, but people are often irrational.
I agree for things like writing papers having access to a computer for research and word proccessing is a net positive, but I still believe that this is better handled by shared equipment contained within the classroom or lab. I may be a bit biased as I'm still not convinced that homework actually provides a ton of benefit, and I'm even more not convinced that homework should require a computer to be completed.

However, to further your first point even more, having one laptop per student is a great way to bring computers into the home of those that might not be fortunate enough to purchase them. In the school district I worked for (very rural Wisconsin) we were able to secure hotspots for households that couldn't afford a broadband internet service. However, even though I've been out of the education sector for a number of years I haven't seen a real uptick in computing skills so I wonder how effective these devices actually are.

I have nephews that entered the system about the time I started in the education sector (and actually worked in their district), but I can't confidently say their skills match or exceed the average student from the era of mid 2000's labs. Simply put without sounding like an old man, I'm questioning whether constant exposure to tech is replacing quality education about it.

By "proper equipment" I mean traditional laptops/desktops that are spec'd to be shared by multiple people and have quality components, or even repairable components so we don't end up with these mountains of e-waste.

Need to make a new one.

Got to be a hybrid of decentralized and centralized so you can replace it now with an equivalent and then harden it to interference and embolden encryption and hacker ethics over time as social media platforms get sucked in to late empire control complexes.

>You appear to be using a definition of long COVID that implies something far more debilitating than what it sounds like the research in question uses.

All symptoms are self-reported, so who knows how severe they actually are (another massive weakness of the study). Regardless, when most people hear "long COVID," they generally think of debilitating illness. For example, the Wikipedia page for long COVID opens with: "Long COVID is the diagnosis given to a series of conditions characterized by long-term, multi-system, often severe health problems persisting or appearing after the typical recovery period of COVID-19." [0]

>the 10% after 6 months number holds for enrolled participants who had not yet had COVID when first enrolled in the study

That appears to be completely made up in the El País article. If you read the actual study [1], it explicitly says that "uninfected participants with a reported on-study infection and participants who had no symptom survey data were excluded."

Furthermore, the El País article claims that "about 2,230 patients had their first coronavirus infection after the study started," but the JAMA article only reports 1118 uninfected controls.

I bought 1000 shares of AMD for $2.50 and sold them at $4 and thought I was pretty cool.
Yep. I first realized this in the '80s when I was working in FileMaker Plus (from Nashoba at the time) to import data and print out bulk mail. FMP was WYSIWYG -- easy layout tools, and I could make anything I wanted happen in seconds with a ~$2800 Mac 512k and a ~$7000 laserwriter.

One time we had a job that required a high-speed printer, so we went to a copy shop. They had a ~$300K Xerox printer that was the size of three washing machines side by side. It could print something like 20-30 pages per minute compared to the laserwriter's 2(?).

And the Xerox had something like a 4-inch amber-and-black display, and the guy setting up the job was putting in parameters by hand, almost like writing code to do the layout. He spent a minute doing that, hit the button, the machine spun up, and then BOOM, out came a page. And the layout was wrong.

He spent 20 minutes getting the layout right, through maybe 10 iterations of write code, spit out a copy, see that it was wrong.

And that's when it hit me: with a machine that expensive, you want it working non-stop. Time spent on setup is time wasted, clearly. And yet no one at Xerox was thinking about that, obviously, because that thing couldn't have wasted more of its time on setup if they'd tried.

And on the other hand, the (relatively) cheap Mac+LaserWriter had WYSIWYG and was ready the first time, every time. It was insane the difference between the two.
I've gotten several emails from a recruiter that address me as my last name, all lower caps (Hi swanson, this job..."). It was for an AI company of course.

I've been a reddit user for the past 7-9 years and if i have to quit the service, so be it. This is the straw that broke the camels back after about half a dozen times i have had subreddit takeovers happen because of rogue mods and reddit simply refused to help. Coupled that with the fact that NSFW is being phased out, i don't see a lot of people holding reddit near and dear.

Reddit have had retention issues. They did not mandate email address for years which meant they did not take much data from their users, unlike meta and google.

>But it definitely tells me that such a model cannot replace a developer.

Certainly not an average developer (however that's decided in C's culture). Not making any statements on skill of anyone here, but I'd bet it could replace the very low ends of skill as it is (GPT-4 and maybe Bard). I doubt there's too many of those kinds of developers though.

It's not a guaranteed positive for all languages/people, but it's farther along being useful as an enhancement technology than it is as replacement technology. I think it's making progress on both axes, but one is clearly ahead of the other and it's still possible it stops progress until other innovations are made.

Not exactly. There is a net sink of emissions every year into the land & ocean, so d(CO2)/dt = emissions minus the net sinks, roughly. See the graph on CO2 partitioning [0]. A lot of research goes into whether these sinks continue at their current rate of removal.
