FWIW, the most-active Sandstorm developers over the past couple of years, such as zenhack (to whom you replied) and ocdtrekkie, are not Cloudflare employees, and never were. (They were never Sandstorm employees either.)

For my part, I am indeed mostly focused on Cloudflare Workers today and don't have much leftover energy to spend on Sandstorm. This has nothing to do with Cloudflare telling me how to spend my time. I make my own choices. I still love what we were building with Sandstorm, but what can I say, Workers has been a lot more successful and so I am drawn to focus my energy there.

Note that Cloudflare has no affiliation with Sandstorm, other than employing some of the former team members. Cloudflare did not acquire Sandstorm itself.
It's not hard, really. Are you a corporation? If no, it doesn't concern your freedom.
Do I understand you right that

for (int i=0; i<4; i++)
buf[i] = ((char*)&my_float)[i];

is not undefined behavior? But that

for (int i=0; i<4; i++)
buf[i] = ((char*)(int32_t*)&my_float)[i];

is undefined?
Likewise. Watching on Apple TV.
Never use PVC pipe marked "DWV" - that's outflow, and it can break at pressures as small as 7 PSI.

Schedule 40 is rated for 400-ish PSI but with epoxy, locktite, and some tape, it can go up to 1200. For repeat use, err on the side of underpressure. There's so many people pushing boundaries in "homegunner" circles, but every time I see someone doing it - with a cheek weld - I get the jibblies. "It's . . your face, dude"
Yeah, we need some sort of groundswell propaganda to inform the masses that this is what the FUD is largely about.
Exactly. THAT is "working your butt off". 15,000 calories a week is working your butt off.

People need to understand that doing 20-30 minutes on an elliptical, even 7x a week, is not "working your butt off". But that is what people think is "working your butt off".

People don't realize how calorically dense our lives our, how sedentary they are, and the actual scale of work necessary to counter that.

And once you've spent a decade being sessile, you no longer have the endurance capacity, tendon/ligament strength, or muscles to sustain the work that is needed.

So people if they want to do an exercise routine need to become athletes. Athletes train. They don't "exercise". They aren't "active". They train, a word that implies repeated almost seemingly unending repetition. Train, as in having a destination/goal and doing what is necessary to get there.
I think the exciting thing is that it works as GPU memory. 192gb would be great for running LLMs.

Could you even develop a non Apple gpu driver with the way extensions are allowed to work now?
I get that, but the problem of scale is one that you have no matter what. Either you have to detect and filter out AI posts at scale, or you have to detect and filter out bad content at scale.

I'm not suggesting either problem is easy, but taking the "ban AI" approach is harmful for several reasons. Detecting AI without false positives is extremely hard and puts too much decision-making power in the gut reactions of moderators. Additionally, banning it has the negative side effect of making the tool unavailable to people who might legitimately benefit from it when producing good content, such as ESL speakers using it to polish their English.

We need to moderate based on the effect of the user's content on the community, not the technology used to produce the content. If you're dealing with a bot posting 10k questions and answers per hour, it wouldn't matter if that bot were using GPT or just re-posting content scraped from the web—the abuse isn't in the use of AI, it's in the spam. So make a rule against spam and auto-ban people who do it.
I take it. Should I send you my bank details?
The overemployment philosophy is to be so good at your job that you can do N (where N > 1) jobs in the usual 40 hours per week. So really, it's about finding those companies where you can meet those expectations.
NameDrop: sounds like a bad name for feature (negative connotation). May be they ran out of options.
I recently got an M2 Air and it is the perfect laptop (for me). I would find the 15" too big, but glad it's there as an option for those who want it.
I believe parent meant “getting the model to do things creators didn’t intend”, like ChatGPT’s “sorry, as an AI language model…” refusals.
That seems a secondary or tertiary issue. If they can't even break even then there's no point blaming profit targets.
Apple Silicon isn't more efficient in terms of memory capacity, there's really no way to do that unless you go for some crazy memory architecture that nobody wants to program for.

Apple Silicon has a lot more memory bandwidth though, maybe that's what you heard?
No. I do not work on opensource projects unfortunately.
On Apple's own site they claim "up to" 40% faster than M1 Air. Maybe that's true? The problem with comparing it to contemporary Intel models is neither their performance nor efficiency looks terribly amazing. They are marketing to existing macOS users and it is easy to demonstrate that M2 stomps all over a 10th-generation Core MBA.
Coinbase and the Howey test
https://www.coinbase.com/blog/coinbases-staking-services-are...
I remember the last post from Fred Wilson: "The Freedom To Innovate" [1]. Even if the SEC is right about Binance and others, and there are without doubt blatant and huge frauds in Web3, there are huge problems with the financial modernization within the US (and the world). Domestic wire transfers in US takes longer and are more expensive than in Europe and developing countries such as Brazil and Argentina. The SEC is not showing a neutral point of view and any special concerns with innovation and legacy system frauds.

It doesn't matter if it is call Web3, blockchain, or whatever buzzword you like, banks have real power and a clash is inevitable now or in the near future. It took a century to dethrone Bell System [2]. It is a political and economical issue, not just an industry.

A precondition for that is mixed use residential zoning, which urbanists are also for and US cities are generally against.
Setting aside whether the original letter was actually capitalized, the rule is common in English writing: https://style.mla.org/capitalizing-start-of-quotation/ ("If the first letter of the first word you quote is capitalized in your source, use a lowercase letter enclosed in square brackets").

More specifically, The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation provides one of many sources of angst for first-year law school students in the United States. Its secondary purpose is to prescribe much of the structure and formatting of U.S. legal writing, down to whether there's a space between the period and the capital S in something like "314 F. Supp. 1217 (N.D. Tex. 1970)" (there is), and whether there is one between the period and the 3 in "945 F.3d 265 (5th Cir. 2019)" (there isn't).

The most important Bluebook rule when altering quotations is not to change the meaning of the original text. The second most important rule is to explain the purpose of each alteration through a long set of rules (whether emphasis was in the original, whether a typo existed in the original, etc.). That covers your concern.
Sorry, was a mistake. Wrong link pasted.
And you have it set up with multiple compile units, shared generics, and lld (or mold ideally)?
If you're really, really motivated, you can make facially-plausible arguments against any of the four factors. (Coinbase does this, for example).

Common enterprise and expectation of profit are the two factors that are the weakest, and for a pure cryptocurrency like Bitcoin or Ethereum, there's probably not enough to meet common enterprise there. Although by the time you get to staking--especially an exchange offering to stake on your behalf--you'd probably pass the threshold of common enterprise, and you should assume your service meets the Howey test.

> it is not difficult to find places to spend either of those currencies

I beg to differ. There's a reason actually paying with Bitcoin/ETH/crypto somewhere (anywhere) is celebrated on crypto twitter, /r/bitcoin, etc.

After 14 years it's still a novel and rare enough experience people feel the need to record videos of it and post them online to celebrate "adoption".

Imagine sending a tweet in 2020 (14 years after founding of Twitter) being noteworthy. Ridiculous, right? That's what crypto looks like to those of us not trapped in the bubble/echo chamber.
I'm a bit naive when it comes to how interconnects like PCI work, but other than OS level drivers being available, is there any technical reason why CPU architecture could restrict PCI device support?

That is to say, if the drivers were signed and supported on macOS, could you theoretically take any modern PCIe device from a PC and run it in an ARM-based PC, Mac, whatever?

How are they able to claim such lofty performance gains? What is the catch?
Bullshit. There are plenty of laws, just none specifically tailored to what the crypto companies would like.

So, no _new_ laws. They still have to follow the old ones.

Not outright breaking them, emailing each other about how much you are breaking them, making memes about how much you are breaking them - yeah, that tends to be pretty well covered.
* elite engineers are expensive

* tiger teams or specialist troubleshooters and project pushers are almost certainly already a thing in AMD

* their "this shit is on fire assign it to a tiger team" criteria may have absolutely nothing to do with Geohot's complaints. things like legal or compliance issues, Taiwan getting attacked by China, high rates of turnover on [specific team], or a problematic design may rank a lot higher than some rando who got headlines a few years back for some good cracks.
Auto-correct was Fucking broken and I dont know if this is really solved.
The idealized United States required compromises from day 1. Among the things the Continental Army did, instead of standing down, was suppress a tax revolt in western Pennsylvania.

(... and that's before we get into much messier issues with the government-as-constructed such as what led to the Civil War. The United States is arguably currently on version 4 of its federal government, depending on how you slice "major releases").

Two of those 3 sound intentional: selective exclusion of data and unconventional weighting. The "coding errors" may also have been intentional. I would suggest more scrutiny of the authors and their motives before dismissing as "Excel errors, whoops"
> It’s only ca 600 votes btw

Yet, in the run up to this (party leadership) election, it was far from clear exactly who the ca 600 voters actually were. None of the candidates apparently knew!

The winner is Andreas Babler who is firmly on the left wing of his party.

On 24th May he gave two TV interviews. In the first interview, prerecorded and broadbast on the Puls24 channel, he said "I'm a Marxist".

In the second (live) interview on another channel later that day he was asked about his statement from earlier on, he answered "I really don't understand the excitement".

The interviewer (Armin Wolf) then challenged him about what Marxism means and whether Marxism is something that a majority of Austrian voters could support. At this point Babler backed off.

Interviewer: "So you're not a Marxist after all?"
Babler: "No, not at all. If you interpret it that way."
Because marketing works, companies like selling stuff (shared laundromat in the basement? Are you communist?) and because government likes selling dreams even if those turn to nightmare.
At my old company, we had a system where we had a limited number of physical machines that multiple testers would need to remote into. We didn't want to disallow two people logging in simultaneously because sometimes that was necessary, and if someone stayed logged in then wen to lunch, where was no way to kick them off to get access without waling to the server closet, pulling up the machine on the KVM, and kicking them that way.

I wrote some VBScript that wrote a locking folder into a sub-folder in a network folder, then launched VNC targeting the proper VM. When VNC was closed, the script would complete and delete the locking folder. That let us know what was available and when. I always thought it was hacky, but at ~60 lines it's incredibly simple and has never really failed.
For an M1 user, there's not a lot of incentive to upgrade because they already got the huge boost in terms of battery life and performance. If you love the styling, or you need a larger size, you might upgrade. But lots of people are still running Intel MBAs or MBPs and so they're pitching to that audience.

They could probably also cite stats of how it compares to the M1, but that would lead to potential confusion as journalists and bloggers mix up which stat is which. Marketing people want one message, said clearly and repeated often.
The nice thing about the "Air" brand is that it's generic enough that it can be used for stuff geared towards anyone.

Yes, apart from GPUs which have limitations regarding cache coherency that have historically been a problem with some ARM architectures.
> Disastrous in what regard? Why do you feel like you don't need to expand? What is this seemingly obviously utopian vision you have that the greatest civil engineering minds of the 20th century failed to comprehend

It's a bit surprising this is news/debatable to some, but here it goes:

* Traffic is very heavy on those urban highways, making them highly inefficient in transporting people, their main objective; they result in massive amounts of time wasted

* The neighborhoods bulldozed for those urban highways, or near them, suffered immensely. Of course this being the US we're talking about, it was disproportionately poorer and "non-white" communities that suffered, as well as historic/picturesque parts (e.g. some US cities have highways on waterfronts which are super nice places to have as parks).

Ugly, noisy, polluting highways that wall off the undesirables while also being shit at their main task? Yes, urban highways were generally a failure.
There's actually an annual conference dedicated to Spreadsheet risks, they have lots of Excel horror stories on their website: https://eusprig.org/research-info/horror-stories/

> A bunch of things you don't like about Rust? Turns out that the person who originally created the language doesn't like them either.

Yep. That just goes to show that you shouldn’t put individuals on pedestals as if they are superheroes. More things than we usually think are in fact team efforts.

> I know that the main point is about governance and how having a BDFL would have led to a completely different language

That isn’t the only main point.

> > The Rust I Wanted probably had no future, or at least not one anywhere near as good as The Rust We Got.

If you would be fine with a niche language then that “Rust” would have worked for you. But if you also wanted a language with wide industry backin etc.—maybe not so much.
Apple silicon has better support (hardware instructions) in saving / restoring memory. Helps with swapping "unused" things to the background and back.
Yea, my thinking is pretty absurd. But it’s because I’m being irrational. The feeling will pass. ultimately, I am wrong.
What performance gains are you referring to? No mention of that in the featured article
Examples? There are very few laptops under 1kg period last I looked into this.
When I looked for a dog several years ago the local animal shelters were mostly filled with pit bulls. Very few other breeds (except maybe chihuahuas). I certainly wouldn't want one in my home, especially not knowing its background. Most of them are probably fine but you never know. Not worth the risk.
I think this is the first time I've seen a punycode URL in the wild. I love it!
I actually think that Sawstop (in general. Might be some details that are bogus) is a great example of the patent system working as intended.

The inventor reached out to several saw makers to license his new invention. None of them took it seriously. So he went and started a company with his new patent and became successful. Then other companies (Bosch specifically) tried to rip his tech off after they saw how effective it is, and he got to sue them and win.

Also, their patents are about to or have already expired (https://www.reddit.com/r/Tools/comments/p6bhhb/so_are_the_sa...)

Sounds like the 20 years gave him just enough time to:

1. Attempt to license the product and fail
2. Create a company
3. Market the company / product effectively
4. Exit ( https://www.sawstop.com/news/sawstop-to-be-acquired-by-tts-t... )

And now competition will begin to roll out their similar saws. I think 5 years would've been far too short for him. He would've been squashed. There would've been no motivation for companies to license his tech or buy out his company. They would've just waited 5 measly years and then stomped him.

Now. If this was software, this whole thing would've played out in what? 5 years? 10 tops? So 20 years, to me, seems to be about right for some things. but absolutely TERRIBLE for others.

You also can use mixfix syntax [1] if you want extensible syntax.

[1] https://wiki.portal.chalmers.se/agda/ReferenceManual/Mixfix

It is used by Agda and Maude and is quite versatile.

Note that one of examples above is if_then_else_ function which implements a typical language construct, but in Agda, due to lasiness, it is just an ordinary function.

[2] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20697414

McCarthy did not understand lambda calculus at the time he specified Lisp and what can be a function became a special form, if I not mistaken.

So, for another approach at extensible syntax you may consider mixfix notation and lazy evaluation.

> who is buying crypto and not expecting to make a profit from it?

Me. I put my savings in Bitcoin because I dislike the tradfi system.

All I want is to be in control of my savings and to be able to freely transact with anyone anywhere in the world.

I am still affected by the exchange rates to USD and EUR. But the hope is that in the future I will be able to use BTC directly more often and not even have to touch USD or EUR.

Perhaps one day even my country will get with the times and allow me to pay my taxes in BTC directly instead of having to exchange it to government funnymoney first.
I read the book Rascal growing up (about a kid who raises a raccoon in Minnesota). Then I worked with a guy who grew up in minnesota, and he had raised a raccoon in pretty much the same way.

A few examples are:

The people are stubborn and many have had experiences with subpar enterprise software. If they are billing clients, any additional step in software is akin to a national tragedy to them. They will complain something is "broken" if it doesn't fit their mental model of what a software should be before trying anything new.

My understanding may be off, but I believe that Bitcoin will be able to avoid it but Ethereum may have a harder time due to the fact that contracts are pretty much baked into ETH at a basic protocol level. I'm sure if I'm wrong someone will correct me.
> These days I don't write much C++ code (regressed to largely C), and when someone asks me how proficient I place myself at a 4 out of 10, and then explain how the spec has changed faster than I think most people can actually absorb it unless its their full time job to sit on the standards committee. So I don't believe anyone who gives a themselves a score over 6 unless their job actually required a deep level of standards understanding (ex: compiler developers).

I generally factor in a ~5 year adoption period for newer standards as not only compiler adoption completes, but as distributions pick up newer compiler versions and make them the default.

So right now, I'd consider c++17 the expected standard for people to generally be comfortable and competent with.
