> The foundation controls Rust in the same way Oracle controls Java.

That is not quite correct. The Rust Foundation is an entity that manages the trademark, relationships with other legal entities, and handles money to pay for running costs. The technical part of the house is the somewhat amorphous "Rust Project", which you can check here https://www.rust-lang.org/governance.

> Concrete example: I run into an error. I post a minimal example to a bug system. Is it not possible for the compiler team to run that example and pull their own special data using an instrumented compiler? How will these logs improve it?

Transient errors exist, particularly when incremental compilation comes into play. In other cases the bug/problem only manifests in a closed source project and the reporter cannot produce a minimal reproducer. There are platforms that the people triaging and fixing bugs do not have access to and might have diverging behavior.
> don't give anyone any money, not until this is properly verified

Instructions unclear: can't buy lunch.
Yeah,we had this all figured out decades ago and then the web through in a monkey wrench that we never recovered from.

From a webdev point of view I love Vue...but it is a slow hard way to build UIs compared to Visual Basic, Delphi, or Swing.
What kind of queries over structured data do you use Postgres for? We're looking to see how we should broaden our metadata filtering to potentially support usage patterns for developers like yourself.
> Have you tried taking a taxi in a country where you didn’t know the language?

Yes, lots of times.

It helps to know the rudiments of the language, but mostly we communicated in a kind of pidgin.

Travel books used to have lists of phrases at the very back for this kind of thing. People figured it out.
>> Just because I can convince you I'm a doctor doesn't make me one

> Because our society has decided you need to become certified to be a doctor, and to do that you have to be a human being.

For the record, I don’t think this addresses the point. The point is that if a person can convince another that they’re a doctor, they still might not be a doctor.

Your reply, that a computer can never convince someone that they’re a doctor because it’s a computer, doesn’t address the point. Presumably the point was made by a person, who would not be categorically excluded from being a doctor.

But it’s also not a great example because “doctor” in our society isn’t just a super smart person who knows about medicine. They also need to be licensed. There’s no amount of convincing a doctor can do to a patient that gives them a license.

So maybe a better formulation of the original point would be just because I can convince you I'm a computer programmer doesn't make me one. And maybe that’s true, I’m not sure.

Physical health I get. Running is hard on the body and most of the people I know who have done it for a long time have developed some kind of chronic physical ailment.

I am thinking out loud here: what would be the comparable word here? topometry?

https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/topo-
It doesn't mean you're stupid! You're probably familiar with the concept of two lines (or vectors) being orthogonal (perpendicular) to each other. e.g., two 2-d vectors (0, 1) and (1, 0) are perpendicular. This is equivalent to saying that their dot product is 0:

0*1 + 1*0 = 0

Those are finite, 2d vectors. They also happen to be orthogonal unit length (orthonormal) basis vectors, because you can write any 2-d vector with linear combinations of those:

(2, 1) = 2*(1, 0) + 1*(0, 1)

We could do the same with any pair of non-parallel 2d vectors, but it's much easier to have an orthonormal basis.

The same intuition almost completely carries over to infinite-dimensional vector spaces. Here, vectors are well-behaved functions on the sphere.

The inner product (or dot product) of two such functions (e.g. f and g) is the integral of their product over the sphere, which pretty much multiplies the value of both f and g at every point, and adds up the pointwise values by area weighting (some other orthogonal function series are orthogonal under other weightings or spaces).

Spherical harmonic functions form an orthonormal basis over the sphere (viewed as an infinite-dimensional vector space), just like those two vectors do over a 2d space. So, two different spherical harmonic functions have an inner product of zero. This makes a lot of things much easier!

Fourier modes are very similar. Any nice periodic function on the real line can be written as a sum of the trigonmetric basis functions, called its Fourier series.*
Maybe the CIA expects you to be smart enough to lie to them about not breaking the rules to hire you in the first place?
One thing that has been constant for at least a decade or more is that every time a lab in China publishes even an incremental advance, a legion of internet commenters descends to declare the end of US hegemony because Americans didn't discover it first.
It think it makes sense for countries to pay some kind of "retainer fee" to several companies for keeping up the ability to massively and quickly scale up production and distribution of e.g. mRNA-based vaccines for when it's needed, once every n decades.

Or maybe some hybrid model where governments some of the long term preparedness scaling preparedness aspects.
There is an interesting take on this on Neal Stephenson's Termination Shock: wealthy people can afford to have personal curators that filter news and other content for them, while the lower classes have been driven off the deep end by the near future Internet's relentless stream of disinformation.
This is a somewhat one-sided perspective. The end polluter is often the US government itself. Do we hold the government officials to that same standard? How about the citizens that elected them?
It's not useless. v6 provides a vastly bigger address space.

You're making the same mistake djb made: you've identified a problem, but rather than provide a solution, all you're doing is insinuating that somebody else should have solved it -- while failing to realize that the problem is unsolvable.

If you have a solution, please share it with us. Otherwise, stop criticizing v6 for not having one. As far as I can see, nobody can do it because it's impossible, but you could easily prove me wrong by just telling us how it's done.

I actually asked you this before, and you refused to answer. It's time you either put up or shut up.

> Tunneling v6 packets to a known anycast that’d bridge the networks would mean that there’d be interoperability.

Just to be clear, v6 already has this (it's 192.88.99.1). If this is your solution then v6 can already do it.
That's a pretty good point. If you want to be critical of the cookie/GDPR popup that's really the route to take. HN, Wikipedia and Github doesn't have any of this non-sense, because they have no incentive to track their users.

I do question the incentive of a number of sites. Reddit technically don't need to track you, they know all they need to based on which subreddit you're currently on. It's mainly sites that have no context to your activities that really need the tracking to attempt to provide ads that makes sense. Maybe having these sites should be financed differently?

How is that possible? PTFE (teflon) is itself a PFAS, no? Did they "only" get rid of other PFAS used during the manufacturing of teflon?
Simple on-device iOS AI demo app of TinyStories-1M
Hey all,

After reading the TinyStories paper (using small language models of 1m to 33m parameter size to generate short stories), me and a friend decided to port it as a test to see what performance of tiny LMs look like on mobile devices. The stories it generates aren't great or anything, it's really just a toy tech demo to play with. We used HuggingFace's exporters library to do this.

You can try it out here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/tinystories-on-device/id645149...

ksh93 has "compound variables" that let you have arbitrarily deep trees of data. The syntax for that is ugly. It's hard to use. And I've never had luck with not causing ksh93 to crash when trying to use compound variables.

I think it'd be very nice to have a bash-like shell with a) jq-like JSON values in the shell (really, parsed, jv-like[0]), b) syntax for using jq programs in ${...}, something like ${var@jq:.jq.program.here}.

As for jq having pipes, they're a rather different beast, but I take your point.

[0] `jv` is the internal representation of JSON values in jq.
If it's a CIA interview don't you get a pass if you lie to the liars?
Why do legislatures keep passing half-baked drug-related measures? It's not like this was the first one.
They don't have to detect it, they'll ask as part of the security interview. The interview is very thorough and requires to be completely transparent and truthful in the given answer. The worse that may come out is that you don't get hired (unless you confess to murder, maybe?). Lying, hiding facts or getting whatever kind of crafty to get hired will lead one to MUCH MUCH bigger trouble if/when it gets discovered later on. Think _treason_.

The main idea is to assess the ways in which an asset can get corrupted by outside influence. Agencies can work with people's various deficiencies and vices, after all it's what they do all day long. But they need to be able to qualify the risk represented by each of their people vs the other agencie's people.

You can prepare your audience for a surprise. You need to draw a surprising result from your previous statements. I guess this could be called a rhetorical surprise.
Yeah. The project currently has a CoC, so I'm not sure how interesting it would be to the 8Chan crowd. You might want to look at Chuck Moore's F21 & F32 CPUs. They were stack-based machines, so you didn't get any GP registers, just instructions that operated on the top of the stack. I got a kick out of his moniker: "Minimum Instruction Set Computer (MISC)"
It is when the comment wasn't actually a dupe because of a subtle difference that was missed or because the 'original' question was years ago and all the answers would be different today.
That comment wasn't about cheating it was about the communication medium. I.e. communicating via text or app vs. face to face. I.e. talking to each other like we're computers instead of face to face like people.
I actually appreciate that caution. Things have been extremely up in the air and it would be very hard to properly explain what is happening, how it matters and if it matters. The last part I think is why it's a good thing that they held back. There was enough unknown that it wasn't clear if this would ever amount to anymore than "some scientists may or may not have made a big mistake." I think we are hitting the point, with multiple teams saying this is either possible or has happened, that we will start seeing MSM stories. They aren't ignoring it, they are being cautious. I promise you their science beat reporters are watching this like a hawk.

I appreciate reputable news organizations as a reliable filter against noise out there on the internet. If I want early rumors I have sites like this. If I want something filtered, curated and focused, I go to them.
Independence meant living deliberately. You may encounter hardship, but it will be because of your own choices. Rather than living a life of comfort in which you have no real choice over the direction of your life, you choose your own path and sometimes that means discomfort. But to live without occasional discomfort is to not live at all.

> why not wait for the best possible position for that so it is less of a burden

Because it seems like you're putting off on living your life and remaining a child well into your mid-late 20s. There has to be some point in life which makes slight hardship tolerable other than accumulating wealth and living a life of hedonism and decadence. By failing to become independent as early as you can, you turn into a lame person

For reference, this is not about the recent superconductor discoveries.

Rather, this article is about Ranga Dias, the disgraced physicist who made prior claims.

Fair, I will need to do more reading on this strategy of gathering data. I did not consider closed source.
Whether it's worth doing also depends on how much energy it would take to make thousands of miles of superconducting cable of similar capacity and how long such a cable would last.
Well, half the comments are making fun of the spotty quality of the evidence and it's been barely a week since the paper was published. I think it's reasonable to wait for at least a pre-print of a successful replication. I don't think it's fair to say the MSM is ignoring it, the possible discovery literally just happened and some combination of low awareness and caution with the evidence means they haven't covered it yet.
They mention roadways, which makes me wonder: Given that this has so much carbon black in it how much more solar energy would it absorb that would normally be reflected. Not many pictures but the samples look quite dark: https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.2304318120

I'm an experienced software engineer with 8 years building software products for organizations of all sizes.

I have a strong eye for product and can scope, design and iterate on features that delight customers.

As a sole founder, I've built a parking management product from ideation to exit. I courted and sold into the multi-billion dollar commercial real estate developer, Cummings Properties and renowned Washington DC-based National Cathedral School.

I've served as a tech lead on a team building an enterprise cybersecurity SaaS for the US Federal Government and a major US health system.

Most recently, I served as a senior SWE at a startup providing IC and filling gaps for a successful DD and acquisition offer.

I'm friendly, compassionate and hold both a BS in Computer Engineering and an MBA.

Please reach out to discuss how we can work together to achieve your goals.
That will promptly be debunked like solar roadways, etc by thunferf00t and others ;)
Unbelievably corrupt
Curious what issues you ran into?
They also reinstated IR35 regulation that favours his wife’s Infosys outsourcing firm. The UK is such a dysfunctional country that I wouldnt be surprised if the government would simply decriminalise corruption and influence peddling in particular.

The latter is illegal but barely enforced. I predict that if the situation continues the country will simply implode.

The left will no doubt blame Brexit, but the left is equally incompetent to the ruling right (if not more, since their go to solution is even higher tax hikes).
No, they don’t want people who get caught lying, and if you don’t get caught, its indistinguishable from not lying.
Not as much as is wasted in generation and transforming, both of which would benefit from superconductors.

The benefit might lie less in the wires and more in the equipment.

Tough to say with a trans Atlantic cable though. Those kinds of distances have never been tried to my knowledge.
It's also a great example as to why the web is as annoying as it is. It sounds like a lot of people here are mad because you called out the EU but realistically your video is a great example of the modern day web and it's awful.
Yeah my understanding is most publishing houses will only accept DOCX with few exceptions.
Staging is additive, while splitting is subtractive
Ok, if that makes you feel better. Not sure why it matters…
> But I'd start with the most basic question - is your antenna even outside of the building? :)

Why not monitor electrical interference inside the home? You could work out when your dishwasher has finished, the different parts of a washing machine program, vacuum cleaner, when the kettle is switched on and off, the fridge/freezer, tv, hifi, lights.

You can learn alot about peoples home life and their patterns just from picking up electrical interference of devices. Who needs to hack CCTV to see inside someone's house? :)
I once reserved a 20 footer, and at the last minute they called me and asked me if I would take a 26 footer instead. Man, I didn't know what I was getting into. That is a whole different beast than the standard 20 footer. Never again - what a pain in the ass that was - every aspect of it was a hassle. The whole time I was wondering how the hell it was legal for me to be driving that thing around.
Thanks for the link, I've seen statistical models used in computer architecture e.g. branch predictors, so I figured it might translate to compilers as well.

Excited to learn more when I take a compiler course next year, as compilers are the most "dark magic" part of software to me.
SpruceID (YC W21) | Full REMOTE | Multiple Roles | Full-Time | spruceid.com

Spruce lets users control their data across the web. We are creating the world’s best open source software for user-centric digital identity. Instead of users logging into platforms, we think platforms should ask permission to access data vaults controlled by users.

We hire programmers who love technology and are committed to intellectual honesty, user privacy, and innovation. Our products are composed from a combination of industry-trusted frameworks, applied cryptography, new interoperable identity standards (W3C, ISO/IEC, IETF, and OpenID), and custom backend libraries.

Select roles:

Technical Success Manager: Work with external customers and stakeholders, maintaining implementation roadmaps, collaborating on product roadmaps, and documenting user stories, timelines, and implementation strategy at the customer level.

Software Engineer, SRE: Implement reliable and performant features in Rust that is cross-compiled to servers, mobile devices, and WASM.

Software Engineer, Android: Build software prototypes and product features from start to finish for Android and iOS, embedding our Rust core.

> What is the user action?

The concept described is that the compiler would generate these metrics locally and store them for a limited period of time, but there would be no built in method for those metrics to leave the system they were generated on.

The user would then have that data available for their own use and could choose to manually share it or independently install a service to automatically share it per their own needs and desires.

So basically collecting the metrics but with no phone-home method built in. The user action to provide consent for access to the data is actually sharing the data.

You really have an outdated look about KSA and the UAE.

Have you ever visited Dubai? Riyadh is almost there too.

And yes they do have a moral compass, the population has a more united look on these issues.
Sure, as long as the price gets negotiated in advance. The problem is the sudden change in terms. This is the free market in the same way that a NY real estate developer telling a sub "I'll pay you 40% of what we agreed, if you don't like it contact my legal department" is the free market. The taxi driver has your luggage; they've eroded the time you thought you had and made you desperate; they now change the terms.

Having a car means you travel more. If enough people don't have cars, it strengthens local economies and smaller businesses instead of everyone driving to Walmart at the edge of town.
The 15" version of this pan is magic. It is super easy to season (apply some oil / butter, get it really hot a few times, wipe it off with a rag, repeat) and is very non stick with just a light coating of oil. Of course never clean it with soap. Water only if necessary. Afterwards I always just pour some oil on and wipe it clean with a paper towel.
