wasmtime and wasmer are basically state-of-the-art. Our compilation backend is a fast, but straightforward translator from wasm to binary (think v8 liftoff vs turbofan), so it's faster than interpreting, but still slower than a well-crafted optimizing compiler. However depending on your use case, that kind of performance may not be everything: e.g. when I/O dominates .

The good news is an optimizing backend is being worked on as we speak and should be available very soon :)
As long as it doesn’t subsequently have to move yon.

Or just throw out all the rules, make the H1-B system an auction. Highest total comp over 4 years wins. Add a whistleblower program paying treble the comp package if the beneficiary is not actually working, or not actually skilled.

Elon was making tweeting-while-crapping toilet jokes the same late night that he (quite foolishly) tried to drag Halli Thorleifsson. I wonder how many important twitter decisions have been impacted by Elon being affected by Ozempic side effects

I might be misunderstanding OP here but that's not how I see it. In fact, the Mastodon web UI frequently shows profiles and posts from other servers on your own "home" server, in your own format. All example.org (your home) does is request JSON from eample.com (the remote), and displays it in whatever format fits your home server.

And it seems to me that it uses the first option that the author suggests, being example.org/user@example.com/thread

You said it, paying for YT is a no-brainer for me, because it's how I discover new music, listen to jazz and classical concerts, and follow a few big names I enjoy.

There's nothing like that on Twitter, FB, Reddit, etc.
I disagree.

Firstly, Ability to circumvent type system means it's a weak type system. In in C and C++ you can take pointer to anything and cast it into anything. The memory model in both languages is just one or more contiguous sequences of bytes. https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/memory_model

Secondly, What you call "functional/academic language snobbery" is accurate language that every software engineer benefits from using and understanding. Being professional is not snobbery or elitism.

> my background in digital logic was not common ... even among many of my colleagues in the computer industry

Thinking of my heroes of 20th century computing, most of them had hardware experience, at least to the extent of having thought of systems as involving hardware-software codesign; have the fields diverged so much in the 21st that one can no longer assume coders have the rudiments of EE (at least at the level of, say, nand2tetris?)
I remember that the initial levels of Far Cry 1 were amazing jungle/beach scenarios that enabled a lot of different strategies for overcoming the smart human enemies.

The last levels, however, were all inside claustrophobic buildings with weird monsters running around.

If all levels had the feeling of the first ones, it would be my favorite game of all time.
This site was used to create weapons-grade fuel, which has an order of magnitude more fissile isotopes than anything a civilian reactor uses. The dangers are not comparable
There’s a section on the site for this:

“Why zero?

By avoiding CGO, wazero avoids prerequisites such as shared libraries or libc, and lets you keep features like cross compilation. Being pure Go, wazero adds only a small amount of size to your binary. Meanwhile, wazero’s API gives features you expect in Go, such as safe concurrency and context propagation.”

Though that seems to be more about specifically C dependencies

This is hilarious. It appears that Twitter is DDOSing itself.

The Twitter home feed's been down for most of this morning. Even though nothing loads, the Twitter website never stops trying and trying.

In the first video, notice the error message that I'm being rate limited. Then notice the jiggling scrollbar on the right.

The second video shows why it's jiggling. Twitter is firing off about 10 requests a second to itself to try and fetch content that never arrives because Elon's latest genius innovation is to block people from being able to read Twitter without logging in.

This likely created some hellish conditions that the engineers never envisioned and so we get this comedy of errors resulting in the most epic of self-owns, the self-DDOS.

Unbelievable. It's amateur hour.

I agree that set and setting are huge factors in your psychedelics experience.
I am 'speculating' but also do have a lot of experience in a variety of psychedelics.

I'm not sure where "intent" falls on that spectrum. The vast majority of my experiences have been "for fun" or "for the experience" at music festivals, concerts, or at home..

I have also taken ayahuasca and changa with a shaman. I was doing it "for the experience", but how is that different from someone else who was in the same room as me doing it an attempt to treat depression or anxiety? How would the risks be different?

Being an anxious or depressed person in general may increase risk factors of negative experience. This is still not related to intent.
This personality defect is painfully common. They view themselves as "the bar."

It's always trumped up nonsense blown out of proportion. In one debrief, they made a stink because they botched an implementation of a red-black tree. it was the most pretty, trivial nonsense. The only time people are implementing red-black trees by hand are... when they're studying for our bullshit software interviews.

We also had a guy with a Ph.D in.. something. He wanted everyone to know he was very smart. Especially the interviewees. The problem he asked was so bizarre and complex that it took those of us already at the company several hours to figure it out upon giving it a try. it's just, like, dude, what is the point of what you're trying to do here? How small is your ego that you need to bully strangers on irrelevant nonsense?
Because legally, that's as meaningful as saying "they are quooquaquams".

The entire point of categorizing them is to answer questions around:

- Should they be sold to take recreationally, like tobacco and alcohol? Should there be limits, like tobacco packaging and taxes, or rules similar to drunk driving?

- Or should they only be prescribed by doctors for mental health reasons, and not allowed recreationally or in religious ceremonies?

- Or should there be exceptions for certain religious ceremonies as well? Is this open to anyone (so Catholics can invent a ceremony) or only ones that have traditionally used it? Does it require licensing or authorization?

By categorizing them, we come to answers on these questions. If they fit into existing categories, we don't have to write many new laws except to state the categories. Or if we decide they don't fit into existing categories, we come up with a new category with its own set of answers and new laws to write, but part of this whole process is determining if that's necessary or not. And even if it is, the name of the label may not be "psychadelics" because we realize there's another set of non-psychadelic compounds that make sense to be included as well (e.g. empathogens like MDMA).
I totally understand where you are coming from but the palatable entitlement of our species is at its peak when we say something like this
Elon seems to have adopted the same business model as Reddit. Lock down the data and sell it to the LLMs. Quite short sighted, but if you're desperate for cash then its probaly an inviting option. Im hoping the alternative to twitter start becoming more generally available soon.
> thought maybe hunted down in Norway

Are you sure? I don't know much about orcas but that's a very long way to track the same whales. The Wikipedia article [1] states Norwegian whalers a little further north in Jervis Bay, still in Australian waters.

I fully agree, whaling is a very sad history. As a kid, I occasionally saw "whale pots", big iron cauldrons used for boiling down blubber (I suppose.) I thought they were really cool. I don't think so any more.

Is it really "running" if users can't use the site at all?

Fwiw there's a post trending on mastodon that they DDOS'd themselves as a result of forcing logins to view tweets.
What's frustrating about all this is the resources wasted on growing businesses that were fundamentally unsustainable. I think a tougher economic climate would have been better for innovation long-term.

It's the same 20-25ug daily for adults in all the major western sources: EFSA, NIH, NHS, Mayo, Harvard. Yes, there are recent studies (2020s) suggesting it should be higher and likely the RDA will rise, but you should really be taking vit K with it for proper utilization.

https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/vitamin-d/
The shift is that the content itself now has tangible value.

So far it's been the attention of the users that has been monetized, primarily via advertising.

But now the content generated by the users has value as input into AI training sets. And AI companies are scrambling to gather as much as they can as rapidly as they can.

The data itself, not the attention of the users, is what is now being harvested.

The companies hosting the data are right to intervene, there's no reason to allow incredibly well-funded AI organizations hoover it all up for free.

Where it's going wrong is how the social companies are intervening. Their goal is correct, their methods are not.
I don't think the copy of Crossword Compiler I use has an option for this (it could be buried somewhere, there's a lot of niche stuff); what I'd do if I wanted to do this is run the filler with manual word choice turned on and only pick words that work for both solutions.
How will that argument go?
Lol. Referring to arming teachers not boaters (I’m a sailor myself, yet to hear anyone wanting one)
Nuclear weapons fuel (what this site was producing) is far more dangerous than what civilian reactors use, as it contains an order of magnitude more fissile isotopes. The vast majority of nuclear accidents have been military, not civilian.
tinygo still wins for size, and the reflection story got better (json works!). The traditional Go compiler produces larger binary but OTOH it's super-fast, as fast as native builds!
They don't find how things "are", they do the typical useless epidemiological study which I described and find spurious connections in statistical noise. This is why nutrition epidemiology is largely a failed science - it can't actually tell us anything useful: https://metarationality.com/nutrition
Not an engineering issue. Compute, and in the end, energy, has a cost. You weren't aware of it because, as someone mentioned, it was subsidized before. Now you are aware. You're free to contribute by paying, if content is worth to you, or walk away. There are alternatives, but you can't escape the fact that moving all those bits is not free.
For me twitter become unusable. I can't verify myself and i don't know really why. After 2 minutes of scrolling i reach my daily limit, so for me Twitter is dead.

In general yes, but Twitter was borderline profitable before Musk took over and saddled them with insurmountable debt payments and decisions alienating advertisers and users.

Twitters current issues are entirely the creation of Elon Musk.
Isn't that most large capital intensive efforts?

Also to be fair a lot of US defense and aero contractors have manufacturing partnerships around the world.

That seems… implausible? They used to be profitable; clearly at that point advertising revenue must have greatly exceeded infra cost. Now, I’d buy that it’s down, but surely not by _that_ much.
the bond wires on only 2 sides thing is so wild. Perhaps the original use was supposed to be in clusters of 4? How many of these things did the NSA eat, i wonder?
"You are special (if you made it so far)" part is a cheap manipulation imo.
I don't use Twitter. (Or haven't since ~2006).

That sounds like a miserable user experience in general, what compels you to seek out that experience?
JIT/AOT just refers to the time that compilation is done, it doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with security.
Many drugs are already all of those.

Could this be the reason for the rate limiting? Elon thinks the server usage is
scrapers when in reality it's just bad code causing a self DDOS?
I appreciate your expounding. I've never really thought about how I evaluate my moral values, so you bring up interesting points. I should also look into philosophical works; as it is, I'm not familiar with those based in the US or foreign. I share your dislike of inconsistent views.
Exactly, I have been struggling with FreeCAD and had to go back to fusion many times. Unlike Kicad and Blender which are good alternatives in their sector that work.

Right at the beginning of Q3 is suspicious timing. Cloud billing cycle?
I don't think this is because of the "end of cheap money" (I don't think this high interest rate environment will last that long) but just sheer incompetence by Musk and his staff. Elon has become increasingly erratic on the platform, he just tweeted recently a reply to a Tweet saying Islam would take over France. I don't know if he's always been like this or if the stories of his heavy ketamine usage are true and taking a toll on him.
These limits are far below standard scraping rates and deeply affecting the casual users, have to presume intentionally.

It’s hard to not be lazy in today’s corporate environments. You simply don’t get much for putting in the extra effort.

Hard work needs incentives. Companies want you to light that fire yourself so they don’t have to pay extra. It’s why I’m not curious about anything work-related (plus it’s hard to be interested in CRUD apps after a decade). Even if I was, I’d give the benefits to myself and not my company.
> What risks are they exposing themselves to? I'd hate to have a friend hurt themselves.

Have your friend research Erowid, a place where people have posted all possible sorts of information about mind-altering substances and their risks.
I think DIDs[0] are an interesting idea for dealing with the problem of centralized registration in federated systems.

It would be great to be able to create one identity that if I want to leave an instance and bring all my data with me to a new instance I can do so without friction. That's currently a big issue I have with Matrix for example -- there's no way for me to go from @user:matrix.org to @user:myowndomain.com and have that be the same identity with the same friends list, etc.

“Pure Go” seems like a fairly common way to talk about that.

But I suppose generated Go code should be okay? Definitions are hard.
i quite like how censoring is done in the fediverse. there is no censoring but each user can chose to block content from showing up in the client. i don't like the idea of censoring. some authority decides what other people are allowed to see.
It doesn't feel like that to me. Elon reported that Twitter hit a new all time high of "user seconds" last week. Reddit usage doesn't seem to have gone down much. In my opinion, what you are really experiencing is wishful thinking.
I'm a complete layperson but reading articles lately it seems that the whale population in general is recovering, due to regulations and a halted whale hunting.

So could this be a side-effect of a larger whale population? More whales, higher statistical probability to attack some human boat. There are after all thousands of human controlled vessels in the sea at any time.

Ancient texts indicate that these were monsters to be feared, so maybe back in ancient times, before whale hunting became efficient, this was a frequent danger.
Thank you much. Greatly appreciated. Trying it out now
It isn’t actually “tweets read”, it’s tweets loaded.

If you for instance open the @elonmusk tweet announcing this, it will load dozens if not hundreds of replies, and those will all be counted against your quota. Do that a few times and you’re done in a few minutes.

I got rate limited after a few minutes of normal use. (Like most users I don’t have Twitter blue.)
I'm not your paid researcher. Google "racial disparities in sentencing" and "racial disparities in criminal justice" for a start and then spend a few months reading.

Why is it suddenly so costly only after Elon took over considering Twitter was borderline profitable before he took over?
Actually you're on the money and I should have considered more context when making my previous reply.

Those users (of which I used to be part of) find it a lot cheaper (almost negligible) to pay for things like RHEL instead of re-certifying.

You do make me wonder, though, about who the vocal users are: RHEL is not important enough to license, but important enough to not move to a different distro?

I d say the opposite. Their headsets are great and affordable, but their obsession with making everything social is ... annoying at this point?

They need to quit their old habits and focus on the future not the past
So, short answer, "yes a legal category is what's being asked for".

Got it.
I agree. Wasn't it zombies? The first levels set a great feeling and atmosphere, everything was mysterious, and then it felt like they ran out of ideas and were like "hm yeah let's add zombies, because that's not totally something overused". And yes, I don't even remember the later levels and didn't even finish the game.
I'm not worried, LLMs are completely overrated.
It isn't. This is a nonsense excuse.
FWIW, at least in my corner of the world, nobody is actually looking at your resume let alone being "guided" by it.
