Yeah, "enum with a missing variant" is like, awful but maybe viable for BalancedI8, but it's clearly insane for BalancedI32 let alone BalancedI64 and those seem at least as useful.

Today, in practice, if you want BalancedI32 what you'd do is swizzle NonZeroI32, so that a trivial CPU operation converts between the two types and you can deliver almost the same optimisations in practice. But, I think that's also pretty ugly, and Rust clearly could do the nicer thing here, indeed it does in my crate that only builds on nightly and is using not-for-public-use compiler internal attributes. So that's what I want, just apparently not enough to spend my vacation time last month working on it. Maybe next month.
Nitpick: JSON 2.0 is not a thing. JSON is versionless, maybe you are thinking of JSON5 (which is not a version, it's a superset of JSON with ECMAscript 5 features) or JSONC (also not a version, also a superset of JSON, but this time with comments). JSON-LD and JSON-API are both specs for the contents of JSON, not the dataformat itself.

I think there are markets where competition creates wealth and markets where supply and demand is inherently dysfunctional. I recommend reading about "market failures" where a free market does not leave participants better off. (There are four broad categories of market failures). So the free market works where it does and doesn't in other cases.

As head of security, did you ever try to get devs to remediate a ton of appsec vulns during early days, or ask them to build data flow diagrams?

My criticism of this is that you can secure the product with solid defense in depth on the enterprise/infra side in a way that is:

- minimally invasive to devs

- aligns with what is likely there to slot into - what SAST tool can you pay for that early on at a startup, let alone slot into a non-existent DevOps pipeline. $1-200k SIEMs existing at a series A/B that prob has 1-2 sec engs?

- get a WAF for a bandaid fix for the appsec problems initially until you can hire product security folks

I dunno, based on my anecdata of my last two jobs, Mac is starting to take over.

Shit, at my current job, we're developing software that runs solely on x86-64 Linux (And our output is an entire VM image, not just an executable), yet we're running on M1 Macs. TBH, it's quite painful and I wish I understood what the hell the engineering department is thinking, since you can't run x86-64 VMs on M1 hardware.

But for gamers, Windows's backwards compatibility makes it king. I can usually easily run 15+ year old games without a hitch.

So we have three different terms:

1. Cured (traditional) - Cured meat in the traditional sense basically means covering it in salt and letting it age. You can either brine it or dry-salt it. No nitrates/nitrites. Cured bacon in this sense would mean taking the whole slab of bacon, covering it in salt, and hanging it to dry - "dry-cured". This yields unique flavor and, more importantly, greatly extends shelf-life. Prosciutto and jamon are made this way and can be kept for years with this method.

2. Cured (USDA definition) - Cured per USDA means injected with a salt and nitrate/nitrite solution. Sometimes spices are added. Products like bacon are typically kept wet and sealed in plastic, though some things are dry-aged, as above. This yields mild visual, flavor, and moderate shelf-life improvements to the product. What most Americans know as ham ("city-ham") is processed in this way, as opposed to country ham, which is traditionally-cured, like prosciutto.

3. Uncured (USDA definition) - Uncured per USDA differs from USDA-cured only in the source of the nitrates/nitrites. In this method, they typically come from celery salt. As with USDA-cured, this gives mild visual, flavor, and only moderate shelf-life improvements to the meat.

Most Americans have never had traditionally-cured meat. Traditionally-cured meat doesn't have anything like the harmful effects of USDA-cured/uncured meat does, due to the absence of nitrates/nitrites. I would also wager that a wet, fatty, acidic thing marinating inside plastic packaging also has something to do with being cancer-causing, as it likely leeches chemicals from the plastic.

So traditionally-cured meat is what you want. Salt-only. Unfortunately, it's harder to find in America. And if you do, it's priced like some kind of gourmet luxury good - unacceptable. Cured meat is how my peasant family got through winters in days past - it's for everyone, not just kings!
Great post!

We've got some additional resources for folks looking to better understand Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) and even see it in action - in this example we demonstrate a potentially very dangerous hallucination (that has to do with driving) and how to fix it using RAG: https://www.pinecone.io/learn/retrieval-augmented-generation...

If you're curious to actually try out the difference between an LLM without domain-specific context and an LLM that is using RAG, you can try our live demo here: https://pinecone-vercel-starter.vercel.app/

And if you'd like to fork and make your own tweaks to the above demo ^ chatbot, in order to, for example, swap in your own company logo and extend it for your purposes, you can find our Vercel template here: https://github.com/pinecone-io/pinecone-vercel-starter

In our opinion, RAG is indeed an effective technique partly because you don't need to be a machine learning expert in order to implement it in your Generative AI applications.

The old Netscape/Phoenix/Firefox box model had borders take up half-inside half-outside and doing any sort of math with it and getting things to align at all was terrible effort in CSS.

I love Firefox to this day, but mathematically the choices that box model made made sense as easier on the renderer but was awful to work with for the web developer.

It's great that we have the choice between box models today and their behavior is better standardized. I know if you surveyed CSS in the wild you'd find most CSS is written for the IE box model (border-box) and yet it is funny that that is the one you have to opt-in to because that adds to the overall impression that CSS by default is broken and needs reset stylesheets and boilerplate.

Well, that part isn't up there on the comment.
The fact that Functions are Objects that can have properties/methods is supremely undervalued.

Are there other languages that do this so nicely? It's the perfect blend of OO and functional.

Yes. C#. The equivalent are `Func` and `Action` types representing functions with a return and without a return. In fact, the JavaScript lambda expression looks awfully familiar to C#.

One of the snippets below is C# and the other is TypeScript:

var echo = (string message) => Console.Write($"You said: {message}");

var echo = (message: string) => console.log(`You said: ${message}`);

The same signature in C# and TypeScript:

var Apply = (Func<string, string> fn, string input) => fn(input);
var result = Apply(input => ..., "some_string");

var apply = (fn: (input: string) => string, input: string) => fn(input)
var result = apply(input => ..., input);

The C# can version can also be written like:

var Apply = (Func<string, string> fn, string input) => fn(input);
var lowercase = (string input) => input.ToLowerInvariant();
var result = Apply(lowercase, "HELLO, WORLD");

For the curious, I have a small repo that shows just how similar JavaScript, TypeScript, and C# are: https://github.com/CharlieDigital/js-ts-csharp

> Those people/use-cases don't care about the GIL.

This is not true. The primary funding and motivation for the GIL removal work comes from the numerical computing community. The PEP (https://peps.python.org/pep-0703/) contains direct quotes from folks working on numpy, scipy, PyTorch, scikit-learn, etc. and also practitioners from places like Meta, DeepMind and so on, describing the practical constraints that the GIL places on many workloads.

Should this be that far-fetched though? That employees might not be simple thralls of the capitalist, whose agency extends only as far as his master permits?

It reminds me of something I'd read that one of the reasons modern capitalism is so borked is because the founding fathers weren't conceiving of things like "Amazon" existing, where one entity employs a staggeringly large number of employees. Or that a small number of companies would employ such a large percentage of workers.

Their worldview was that where most people were "self-employed" - and if they weren't, employers were small and had a few or tens of employees at most. Or it was a matter of master and apprentices where both groups were investing heavily in each other in a trade and in the running of a shop.

So, while yes our current system finds it a matter of course that employees are utterly subject to the whims of their employer and the legal and economic system fully supports them in this, does it have to be that way?

(I know you can go be a contractor, but good luck with health insurance and etc etc etc all the other things that being yoked to an employer brings that I wish were just public taxpayer-funded services).
It should be helpful for maintenance and DDL tasks. Such as I need to build a secondary index over a large table and do something once the index is ready.

Honestly I find it amazing just how long the 360 has gone without a viable modern softmod. There was one singular one found on a firmware so old it still has the blades dash but otherwise no modern ones are publicly known.

Great work! Matches my findings but much more rigorous.

The tasks I'm doing might be uncommon. Here is a build script in some language you (the llm) understand, and I want to get it translated to a language you don't. And so the context is example conversions and documentation.

I've also had some luck with things that boil down to "Here is a very large style guide. now how would you improve this code?". Or "here is a number of examples of feedback on writing to conform to a style. now generate the same on this new input."

I found the large context windows and Claude to work quite well in those examples. But, if its possible, breaking it down into multiple steps with less context somehow and using GPT4 even better (though more work).
And more evidence that cattle are a risk to Tule elk, and likely overall biodiversity:

Small numbers of tule elk in Point Reyes have tested positive for Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis or "MAP", a wasting disease known as Johne's Disease. The bacteria was apparently transmitted by dairy cattle or spraying of cattle manure on pasturelands. In 2016 more tule elk tested positive after being euthanized so that their gut tissue could be analyzed. Cattle transmitted the disease to the Tomales Point elk herd shortly after they were first established there in 1978.
