It depends on if Lukashenko can use Wagner rather than the Russian army to shore up his own regime. I would not be surprised to hear Prigozhin had accidentally fallen out a window of a tall building, and only slightly surprised to hear he is Belarus’ next defense minister.
> Typescript only got official ECMAScript decorator support in the recent v5. ECMAScript decorators only got to stage 3 in April ‘22.

Yah, they've been out for ages. It's quite surprisingly how 1. long it's taken ECMA and 2. how quickly TypeScript took advantage of decorator syntax to improve TypeScript. I'd say it's a definite win for us people who love decorators.

> But decorator syntax is just a kind of syntax sugar over passing a function through another function, and you can do that today to achieve runtime type information

I'll have a look at Zod, thank you! I have to admit I like the simplicity of decorators; I'm playing with Dependency Injection and, while the loss of parameter injection is a bit disappointing, there are ways to work around it, e.g.

@Injectable([Dependency])
class Service {
constructor (private dependency: Dependency) { }
}

> [...] features by Angular, which was really the only major lib using TS for quite some time.

Definitely. Although it'd be interesting to see how Angular handles the transition away from parameter injection; there's an open issue about it on their GitHub, but from what I can see none of the core members have spoken about it yet.
<https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/50439>

The main proposal from a community member is to replace them with the Service Locator pattern (ew). Thankfully someone in-thread provided them with a little wisdom regarding why that's a terrible idea. Here's hoping Angular keeps a nice API.
The thing I was imagining replacing here is the supervision card alone (the sup720-XL), not the entire box. The supervision card doesn't need 720Gbps bandwidth; it's just spitting routing decisions, not entire packets. (And I would bet that established L3 flows cache their routing decisions in per-ASIC channel descriptors for short TTLs; so it's probably not even being prompted for a routing decision for every single packet, either.)

I assume the supervision card is prompted over some wire protocol by the ASICs in the switches for routing decisions, and responds back to them with a predictable delay. To achieve parity with the existing supervision card, it "only" needs to emit 30MM one-byte(!) decisions per second. I.e. a top-line input rate of 3840Mbps (for IPv6), and a top-line output rate of 240Mbps.

Basically, it confuses me why you can't slap such a "supervision card" together by taking a modern 8-core single-board computer that can fit the entire routing table into L2 cache on each core, and has a PCI-e socket; plugging an Infiniband card or whatever into it; and then running an RTOS on it.

Heck, when you think about it, SBCs are so cheap compared to a single used sup720-XL, that you could cluster them inside your router, with each supervision shard taking routing-decision load from 1/Nth of the ASICs.

I can’t read the article but the sub headline is:

Spy agencies remain divided on whether the virus passed to humans via an infected animal or laboratory accident

If it was a laboratory accident then wouldn’t that mean the virus was at the Wuhan lab prior to the pandemic? The reporting is that intelligence agencies are divided on whether or not it was a lab leak. I don’t think it qualifies as quackery to think it may have been an accidental leak.
> consider instead of using fancy and scary mathematics like “neural networks”, it is just tabulating and counting keywords. Is it still infringement?

I've seen this analogy before. A NN, especially an LLM, is very different in method and outcome. If counting keywords allowed me to replicate copyrighted material, it would probably not be fair use. IANAL, but I imagine the fact that a NN can replicate or compete with the original work makes a difference.
From computer programming we know that strict rules for complex systems become unmaintainable messes, with countless edge cases that result in things either just not functioning or - worse - allowing people to bypass the rules entirely to, e.g., run malware.

So the complaint about rules that involve human discretion strikes me as extremely hollow. We know what trying to write no-discretion rules looks like. We know it almost always still ends up allowing plenty of abuses of the system. To prevent that we need more eyes and more human judgement on things, not less.

You're forgetting that most people in Russia support Wagner, which could be the reason they could advance so easily.
I think that the idea (before they add the memoization that the docs mention) is that this only serves as a way to name a computation, so you don't have to litter the same logic in multiple places but can instead just call the lambda instead

I understand the remark, but on the other hand I also don't mind it; even like what they've done. I think it's useful as a signal that this this is component code, and has the added benefit that it looks familiar to other frontend code
Its complicated.

Training on something huge like "the internet" is what gives rise to those amazing emergent properties missing in smaller models (including the recent Pi model). And there are only so many datasets that huge.

But its also indeed a waste, as Pi proves.

There probably is some sweet spot (6B-40B?) for specialized, heavily focused models pre trained with high quality general data.
I woke up this morning still angry about a “discussion” I had with an denialist nutbag and this was my first thought when I read that comment.
> It is crazy how people can even think of collaborating with them.

It is not crazy, if you take into account that the genocidal war is very popular among Russians, and the only complain they have is that it is not going according to their expectations. They blame the top military officials for that and think that wagner will be more efficient in killing Ukrainians.

Nothing really rouge about it. Google was big on RSS initially as a way to subscribe to content across the web. They had their own RSS Reader after all.

Yet, Chrome added an experimental "Follow" feature in 2021 for RSS subscriptions [1]. Edge did the same calling it "Follow Creators" that mostly focuses on YouTube but also uses RSS [2].

I use Rust for embedded devices and making standalone PC apps. I don't use it for web because there are no frameworks or ORMs on the level of Django. Also, the libs seems to be built around Async for web code, which I don't like.

I love Rust as a language, and its built-in tooling. Web dev requires higher-order tooling that isn't currently in a state I'm happy with. So, I can see myself using Rust in the future for web programming once this is fixed.
Practically the entire web forces JavaScript to be enabled. I used to be pretty irate about it but that was 10 years ago and I’m tired.
It could be, but it shouldn't be the default assumption that that was the case. Absent hard evidence this is just speculation.

> In which way would it affect usability?

Cloud sync would be quite difficult and I'd like to avoid the backup-restore game that most other apps don't seem to mind, because writedown's focus is on reducing complexity for people.

I'm not someone who uses Notion, I find it rather complicated and most apps that I've tried just try to do too much. Telegram is great for storing notes but it doesn't support markdown.

Handling the keys with E2EE is a big challenge. There's not a normal way to use E2EE without affecting the sync capabilities, login capabilities, offline capabilities or usability.
The actual consequence of learning programming is money. A material reward that improves quality of life. I’ll also wager that intelligence does transfer to other domains but that’s just MHO.
> But ignoring "better" because it's not "perfect" is rarely a good strategy.

But "better" it is not. When the attacker controls the CA and your OS there is nothing "better".

Those days the Web Browser and the apps hapilly sending telemetry over the internet are the main entry point for an attacker. And yet we see statements like "if you use E2EE you are secure.

Please, you are overstating your case in a way that distracts from the issues at hand. I do agree that Linus's opinions are irrelevant to a lot of computing, and that sorting must make some use of SIMD for the best performance, and that there's good work in vqsort. But the 10x factor is highly misleading. Sure, it's technically correct that you "can be about 10x as fast" as a scalar sort. In the same sense that a scalar sort can be 10x as fast as an AVX-512 one.

The 10x number is from comparing against std::sort on random data, yes? Both common std::sort implementations are branching quicksorts from the era when introsort was still considered exciting new technology, and are much slower than pdqsort and other branchless quicksorts. The measurements at [0] show by my estimate about a gain of 3x against pdqsort and 2x against ipnsort. For vqsort only; intel barely beats ipnsort. I also pointed out to you at [1] benchmarks showing 1450MB/s for 32-bit radix sort at a million elements on M1, which is comparable to your Xeon measurements and nearly 3x faster than the 499MB/s for M1 in the vqsort paper.

If you're going to quote a std::sort number, at least give the name instead of implying it's a good representative for scalar sorts! I would strongly recommend, however, that you benchmark against and study more modern scalar algorithms. I know SIMD and have even vectorized parts of pdqsort in the past; I've chosen to work with scalar algorithms for the past year or two because I think these methods still have a lot to offer.

You don't march halfway to Moscow, occupy a couple of large cities without much bloodshed, and then turn back just after a quick negotiation. In a single day.

Either this is part of the plan of how Prigozhin is managed by Kreml -- and as such, a part of how the subdivisions of power are managed and constantly reorganised -- or Prigozhin had acquired some valuable piece of power but he needed to march towards Moscow in order to be taken seriously.

You don't try something like this unless you know you're going to get out of it.
This sentiment is the "the book was better than the movie" of the travel world :)
Yeah, I don't know any of that. I'm just speaking from my perspective. For example I notice communication is harder. A Slack thread becomes a video call and screenshare, and I am pretty sure it would be a lot more efficient and effective to just walk over to someone's desk. I don't know if that is actually the case, just what I intuit from seeing our day to day.
There were so far reaching effects too. They even shut down national TV and blocked websites in the risk of propaganda against them. I don't think it was for show either.
This was some stupid precedent set.

Exactly, it appears like Putin blinked to another warlord. Now Russia looks less like a dictatorship and an unstable group of warlords.
Eh around the time of the Wagner pullout from Bakmut there has been signs that there was a large amount of discontent between the mercenaries and the MOD. They had been throwing threats at each other along with rumors of shooting at each other at times.

Oddly enough on some more of the hypothetical and conspiratorial parts of the net possibilities like this have been discussed for weeks. It's just so odd to see this happen in real life.

Possibly, but per a 1993 NY Times article on the program:

> Mr. de Klerk told Parliament that the program, one of the nuclear era's most closely guarded secrets, was begun in 1974 because of the apartheid Government's sense of isolation and its fear of Communist designs in the region.

Of course, that doesn't preclude internal use.
"I don't think anyone on the defense side considered dropping a bridge on the highway to be a reasonable move."

It surely was considered. I can imagine in the state of panic even tactical nukes were considered, but sure, not reasonable.

But if Wagner forces would have actually pushed through, then they definitely would have blown up bridges, if the alternative would have been Moscow under siege or house to house fighting.
(author) No, I'm sticking to this. If it's 3.0, then why are references to 2.0 still present? It reads more like that's what they wanted to call it, not because there's any substantial technical difference.
How much general "thinking"[0] would you want those "tight little specialist models" to retain? I think that cramming "all of the web" is actually crucial for this capability[1], so at least with LLM-style models, you likely can't avoid it. The text in the training data set doesn't encode just the object-level knowledge, but indirectly also higher-level, cross-domain and general concepts; cutting down on the size and breadth of the training data may cause the network to lose the ability to "understand"[0].

Genuinely trying to understand.

Argued from first principles:

Since TS is a superset of JS,

we can assert that the both constitute opposite ends on the spectrum of static typing.

Thus, surely there are infinitely many levels of possible gracefulness in-between?

IOW: If JS can live with no constraints, then why can't TS live with with slightly more graceful ones than the current?

Lukashenko is Putin's puppet; Putin couldn't negotiate in first person without appearing as weak.
It's possible that both Prigozhin and Putin tested their own strength and concluded that they both can be hurt badly. I believe that we'll know more by looking at what will happen to Shoigu and Gerasimov in the next days.

Nah. It's still a case of "exactly how bad do you really want it to be?"
Seems well planned. On a Friday night when most troops were drunk and going into the weekend.

The end result is a bit unclear, i still think that Prigozhin will fall from a window ( or however they want to get rid of him).

But I can't believe it's only Shiogu he was after, who wanted him dead ( revenge), that's a huge risk to take.

I first thought he just wanted to boost his political ambition, but he did attack Putin ( the tsar can never be at fault in Russian culture). This action has portrayed Putin as weak internally and history wise, weak leaders were killed. I don't think it's forgivable.

All in all, this wasn't a coup.

This was putting military pressure for political reasons.

The main advantage was speed and showing how incompetent the current Russian generals are.

If Shiogu will be replaced, that's not good news. He's a incompetent loyalist without any military experience and a pure politician, it benefited Ukraine a lot from my POV.
In short, due to inadequate military planning, completely failed intelligence and some smart moves by Ukrainian military, Russia failed to destroy Ukrainian Air Defence in the first hours of war and this failure predetermined the rest. With air superiority Russia could reach their goals in the first months of war even despite the resistance. They could not operate freely in Ukrainian air and now with Patriot and IRIS systems deployed it is completely impossible.

What has happened today is hard to explain. Probably lack of command and coordination between FSB and military.
Really fantastic piece that explores the life of a free solo climber without straying too far into hero worship.

> Perhaps surprisingly

Surely this is surprising only to very young people? Remember Developers Developers Developers? Microsoft has always had, by far, the best development experience of all the major platforms. Their dev tools have been top notch since the 90s.

Of course nowadays CLion/Rider do provide a very similar desktop dev experience, so clearly Jetbrains also gets it. But it can't compete with how well integrated VS is with Windows in my experience.
Let's be reasonable here, mantle and nucleus iron don't matter to this analysis.

Crust iron is all oxide. Fe at 5% average. In some locations obviously more concentrated up to 90% ore. Not all sites are viable for mining, and this is very important to understand. Just because there is plenty of iron out there doesn't mean all of it is commercial grade.

This means energy input to turn iron oxide into iron, which the article claims could be used as fuel and/or long term energy storage.

-Fuel I don't believe for a second.

-Energy storage it's a maybe. It needs to commercially beat plenty of options. Which to me seems unlikely since the path still includes heat and steam engine which would incurr at a cicle loss of at least 50%. And this being conservative etc. Would mean a steam engine operated in a very narrow power band - which would mean a baselevel powerplant not a peaker powerplant. And didn't yet consider other possible losses, as for one, the Fe degradation over time. Energy cycles that count on heat and engine are wasteful. Could this waste be compensated by a much cheaper capex and/or opex relative to Li or similar batteries? That's a big Maybe.

I myself want to believe there is a solution to renewables intermittency. But on this one in particular, I'm quite bearish for the reasons above.
