C++ is a language that was expressive enough to have inside the mechanic that is useful for _implementing_ another language for template metaprogramming, but that another language is built from weird building blocks and they do not look natural at all.

Old presentation
https://youtu.be/a0FliKwcwXE?t=31

that when I did watch for the first time did remind me A LOT the memes about different levels of haskell engineers writing factorial function, with people somewhere in the middle implementing their own numerics based on basic number theory things. This presentation is literally exact scenario - you take one thing and start building poor man's programming language using it. And it's horrific.

Problem with C++, that it is extremely slowly addressing is that it doesn't have many facilities to improve that nested informal templated language built on top of templating constructs. C++ is getting them, but it at glacier pace. And when I see that presentation after having exposure to other languages, I just feel that this is so much waste here, it could've been much better if language had better thought put into metaprogramming part, instead of letting random crazy geniuses to build hacks on top of hacks to get something useful.

Unfortunately for C++, it gives significant problem for starting. Because to learn something, it is very useful to look into how standard things, like stdlib is implemented. But what you see, often, is not C++, it is that another _thing_ that is using c++ constructs to have its own thing. That has its own patterns and quirks (and there are many of them, so many).

C++ went into local maxima by letting to do many things by various template tricks, but in the end I think that this is dead end. C++ need real metaprogramming, type level programming, you name it - that can be done in (constrained) C++, not in some fungus that has grown on top of template language.
This is the pace of typical development these days, outside of pandemic rushes. And four years ago was pre-pandemic, it's only been a couple years of pushing on other targets.

That's not a serious article. That's a humourous video.

I can't believe that all happened over ten years ago. MIT hung him out to dry, and who knows what he could've achieved if that hadn't happened?
A couple of months of human trials (that started before animal trials were finished) isn't proper testing. Each mRNA vaccine (like any other type of vaccine) is a standalone product. Testing the general viability of mRNA technology isn't the same as testing a specific mRNA vaccine.
I think mostly you just need less iteration with Rust because the language seems to guide you towards nice, clean solutions once you learn not to fight the borrow checker.

Rust programmers don't iterate using unsafe because every single line of unsafe gives you more to think and worry about, not less. But they might iterate using more copying/cloning/state-sharing-with-ref-counting-and-RefCell than necessary, and clean up the ownership graph later if needed.

As my piano teacher used to say, “what did the piano do to you to make you hit it quite so hard?” This is known as the “Moonlight” sonata not the “thunder and timpani” sonata.

It’s a great demo but the dynamic range of your piano robot is horrible.

Oh! Can I adjust the dynamics based on where I touch? I take it back! Bad workman blames his tools etc.
I’m a little surprised they announced 1.0 already. When I tried bun a little while ago, I noticed many bugs reported on GitHub around reading from standard-in and readline. I attributed it to being a pre-1.0 thing, but those bugs have not been resolved as far as I can tell.
Batteries are now improving in efficiency, cost, and availability of materials. This is driven by solar.
I don't think that one can't add security and verification, etc. I think the issue is those things are not free and it is supposed that adding them would just transform Zelle into something more akin to a credit card, which we already have.

In your example it seems you did actually send it to the school. The problem was an additional party also had access to school accounts, even if old. To me that's equivalent to a former employee having an illicit copy of keys to the till and stealing cash from it in the off hours. Police would probably treat that crime similarly.

At the end of the day the police have to prioritize their resources too. Technically they could "do" things. But is it worth the cost? When it comes to petty crimes it seems mostly the answer is no, and I have to agree. Even when I had my own phone pick pocketed. It sucks but life goes on.

Yes actually it is solved. If you stick to async then it cannot deadlock (in this way) because you yield execution to await.
We want. But we don't need 30 years any more than we "need" 20 or 10. It's economics against utility. We could deploy with 5 years, and replace the short life elements across the long life of the other infrastructure. Batteries are modular.

The perfect is the enemy of the good enough. Many things deploy at scale before true economies of scale are reached.
FedNow is live, but not quite "here" since I can't personally send money to my neighbor with it yet. I'll be interested to see how the implementation looks to an end user such as myself, and how I can verify the identity/destination of the recipient. A little over a month ago, the Los Angeles Times said JPMorgan Chase would offer it soon. The JPMC website has a page about how people can implement it through their platform. However, when I log into my Chase account and search for fednow, this is what I get:

This is a perfectly legitimate concern. And you did bring that up in your original comment. So I'll just leave it that.

From the article I understand it's only for H100? Both the title and the charts imply that.

This is just semantics.

It'snot as you describe though, because the point you miss is that it is the product of rational thinking. That's a fundamental difference.

> I'm not so sure you did, because you proceeded to construe "god" literally not metaphorically.

The point was neither type of 'god' is applicable or relevant.
Normally it's architectural changes such as FP8 support as noted in the submission, but in that case newer mid-range GPUs like the A10 and the L4 (https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/data-center/l4/) should be supported but aren't.

This is incorrect. Most of the help actually goes to rural areas and "red states" and that money is coming from the richer cities.

The referenced research also considers the publications by Kay and his team (including his theses and the Smalltalk-72 and 76 manuals) and other uses of the term. I think Kay mixes things up in retrospective; in his 1968 thesis he used the terms "object language" and "object machine", but not "object-oriented"; imagine giving your new breakthrough method a name, but then not using that name anywhere in the publication; that seems unthinkable, especially with an accomplished communicator like Kay. The first time "object-oriented" appears in a publication of his or his team is in 1978.
In Rust you have the option to Box and/or Rc everything. That gets you out of all the borrowing problems at the cost of rubtime performance (it basically puts you in the C++ world). This is a perfectly reasonable way to program but people forget about it due to the more "purist" approach that's available. But it's a good way to go for iteration and simplicity, and (in my opinion) still miles better than C++, due to the traits, pattern matching, error handling, and tooling.

This is a nice rhetorical hook to lead with on a forum where most people's identity centers around being smart.
New York City has always been a place of deeply entrenched business and corruption. They killed ridesharing to protect the taxi industry, and AirBnb to protect the hotel industry. I really don't think this has anything to do with safety, affordability, neighborhoods or any of that. That's media window dressing. It has to do with hotels losing business and greed.
I still like channels because they may be a net reduction in the number of concurrency primitives in use, which complicates quantification in the paper - their taxonomy is great, though. Channels have some sharp corners.
"NVIDIA TensorRT-LLM is now available in early access and soon will be integrated into the NVIDIA NeMo framework—part of NVIDIA AI Enterprise, an enterprise-grade AI software platform with security, stability, manageability, and support.

Note that you must be registered in the NVIDIA Developer Program to apply for the early access release. You must also be logged in using your organization’s email address. We cannot accept applications from accounts using Gmail, Yahoo, QQ, or other personal email accounts."

Okay, kind of a bummer.
You should apply a bit more critical thinking to the lines you have been fed.

We have to create new flu vaccines every single year, because flu is so varied. They don't see a ton of use, but they save a lot of lives.

So thinking that we don't accept this definition of vaccine is just not based in reality. SARS-CoV-2 evolves, particularly under the pressure of resistant hosts, and even people that were infected once can get it many times!

Secondly, the vaccines absolutely did reduce the chances of catching covid, by massive amounts. Take even a glance at any of the studies:

https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2035389

I would beg you to look back at where you picked up these bits of misinformation, and completely eliminate those sources from your information diet. They can not be trusted, and will infect you again with bad info that puts your health at risk.
>>Higher fees to compensate

Really?

My bank was charging me $40/month just to have the service active to use it for occasional payments. I did not even realize that using it once "subscribed" me to the service, and fortunately was able to have months of bogus fees reversed.

Plus, it was not even actually all that convenient.

Just skim the report. It id damning.

One thing I learned a long time ago:

Never mistake a bank (or banker) for a friend, no matter how much they try to market their "friendliness". They may sometimes be necessary or even useful, but they are never your friend when it comes down to it.
I agree with you. It was just fascinating to me how in hindsight I couldn't access the full digital trail of those funds and other people wouldn't just reveal it to me on account of privacy. As other people have pointed out, the courts would be needed, because even though I showed them evidence with some screenshots, etc, I suppose I could have fabricated those to cause trouble for someone.
The government repeatedly pressured tech companies to suppress information about the short term effects of the vaccine and that it didn’t prevent infection.

It was only later on that they admitted as much. This led to many people not trusting anything the government said.
Anybody with even a cursory understanding of Adversarial Networks and critical thinking skills can conclude that this is a horrible idea. The end result will be better forged information, indistinguishable by anyone (in the limit). We probably need rubes as a buffer.
I learned emacs the same way.
> Unfortunately, the implications were that the mayor involved joined the legal firm that negotiated this privatization shortly after his term ended.

This certainly looks very shady, but by itself doesn't change the financials on the deal. The claim above that this deal costs "a lot more" than a billion - I'd love to know how much and how did they know it.
So HN wasn’t a perfect example. What about GitHub. You can’t use GitHub’s search feature unless you’re logged in, and it very much encourages you to spend money on it.

The Discord-hate is a double standard that is not applied to any service (to the extent that comments criticizing Discord appear with extreme regularity on threads that should be completely unrelated).

“Solar PV + storage” is likely to be utility-scale storage sized at ~4h of the facility’s peak production; this lets the plant shift the load from the middle of the day when the sun is strongest to the evening where the residential power demand peaks.

There is an interesting report on this: https://emp.lbl.gov/utility-scale-solar/

It seems to me that the affordability of short-term storage is a really under-reported story. It seems to be adding $10-20 $/MWh which is not trivial but still leaves solar competitive with other sources (except perhaps gas).

It’s not clear to me that there is an obvious candidate for seasonal storage though. Anyone seen a good analysis on that? Green hydrogen is one possibility but the OpEx seems high, if you have a hydrogen plant you want to run it all the time to amortize the cost right?

"Finally, you're right that Kobe Bryant is admired more than the average hard worker in school, and that's because he was among the best in the world."

All over the world, sportsmen and entertainment personalities are celebrated more than other workers who, in theory and intuitively, should be celebrated more. For example, among the celebrities, in theory and intuitively, we should find the best scientists, surgeons, and administrators that a country can offer. But do we? No, we don't.

To use a recent example, if you think about it, it is curious that the hype about Oppenheimer has been about the film itself, Nolan the director, and Murphy the performer, and not Oppenheimer the scientist and the Manhattan Project as a formidable government-sponsored science and technology initiative. Yes, there has been some minor residual interest in the real people, science and technology associated with Los Alamos on the part of viewers, but nothing particularly relevant.

Today, Mr. Oppenheimer, academic and/or govt employee, would have to work for 30+ years (probably more...) to earn the same money that Murphy earned pretending to be Oppenheimer in a movie. If that's not funny and ridiculous, I don't know what is.
We used to use mercury compounds to treat syphilis. Sometimes effectively, because mercury is a pretty good anti microbial and early stages of an infection start with skin sores that could be treated with topical applications. Once the infection got to later stages, though you'd need enough to cause mercury poisoning.
"Consumers defrauded with cash are left high and dry by the Federal Reserve Bank that created it".
To be fair this is the same as most regulatory bodies. You have specific things you must do for SOC2. There can also be known issues that you must document and, as long as they fall within acceptable risk tolerances and you have a plan to fix them within some defined time period, it can be acceptable (obvs, again, depending on the risks).

It's not perfect, but then again... nothing is. Personally I think that being honest about all risks, documenting them, and having a plan in place to fix things is a good place to be.

Of course, FAA, aviation, space, healthcare etc. should have much lower tolerance to risk, so you'd expect that the portion of these that can be ignored should be very low risk.
While it will only get better, I’m not sure how large the market to jacking off to Pixar like characters is…
Yes. This is an active area of research. In general they want to have a ship that is pretty resilient. On Mars your T/W ratio is gone be really good and with no atmosphere the ship will take of quickly.

However this is a problem that needs more study, the are various projects on how to quickly make a functional launch pad.

Are there any FOSS alternatives to Discord that are free (as in money)
That's not really a software problem.
This. Thanks for actually... you know... reporting accurately on the subject. It's interesting to see how this is characterized in the press by professional journalists.

Bloomberg:
"SpaceX Ordered by FAA to Make Fixes After Starship Blowup :
-- FAA blames ‘multiple root causes’ for flawed Starship launch
-- SpaceX must apply for, receive FAA license modification"

CNBC:
"FAA orders Musk’s SpaceX to take 63 corrective actions on Starship, keeps rocket grounded"

NYT:
"F.A.A. Spells Out Needed Fixes for SpaceX’s Starship Rocket"

But then there's the FAA:
"Following the launch, the FAA, consistent with its statutory authority [...], required SpaceX to conduct a mishap investigation in accordance with its approved mishap plan under FAA oversight.

[...]

The FAA has been provided with sufficient information and accepts the root causes and corrective actions described in the mishap report. Consequently, the FAA considers the mishap investigation that SpaceX was required to complete to be concluded.

[...]

Launch license VOL 23-129 for Starship authorized SpaceX to conduct one launch. SpaceX is required to apply for a modification to the VOL 23-129 license to allow for subsequent launches. When SpaceX applies for this modification, it will need to demonstrate compliance with 450.173(f) by evidencing the implementation of corrective actions adopted in response to its April 20, 2023 mishap."

As far as I can tell, these journalists looked at the FAA press release, and didn't take the extra 5 minutes to read the linked letter to SpaceX, or the extra hour or so to read the link to how the FAA handles mishap investigations. Add in some pre-existing feelings about Musk or his endeavors and.... BEHOLD! World Class Reporting! And this is the sort of thing that any number of governments are trying to force funding for?

Reading the FAA letter, it looks like nothing more than the routine and procedural review a regulatory agency does when processing paperwork. And everybody probably knew this mishap investigation process would taking place even before the launch just because of the likelihood of the launch actually going to plan.
I mean, what do you expect them to be working on, Nuclear Fusion? "Novel problems" make up the tiny minority of all work. The really hard problems are either already solved or lie beyond the reach of the average javascripter. And there's more, easier money to be made in the banal.

Rust is not race condition free, it guarantees no data races though.
Async as a paradigm seems so against what GP was discussing. If I understood, and from my experience, we're talking more about concurrent execution with carefully-designed priorities, locks, and timing requirements. This is closer to the embedded / systems-level concurrency, if I understand it right. Are we really expecting a coroutine/ async style to just lift into this world?
> Relying on notifications puts you at the mercy of the platform.

Is this really an issue? You're still relying on the platform to host and serve your actual emails. If you don't trust them to notify you properly, why would you trust them to hold your entire email history?

This also means you're going to have moments where you check your emails and it wqs wasted time because there are no new emails since last time you checked.
