Your example demonstrates what I'm talking about, but in reverse (building a positive opinion).

There are a lot of cars that will easily go 250k miles, in the same way your car does. However, your opinion of other car brands doesn't go up based on your positive experience with this car. Other car brands might actually be more reliable, but you can't form that opinion since you don't drive _other car brand_ (since most people have 1, maybe 2, cars for a long time, it's likely you aren't simultaneously experience many other car brands).

The same thing happens, in reverse. People rip on X, Y, or Z car brand for being unreliable without evaluating against the broader market. They drive X, something broke on X, so X sucks. Doesn't matter if A, B, and C brands use the exact same part from the exact same supplier, the negative opinion only applies to the brand that actively broke on the user.
Can anyone explain how this makes a meaningful difference?

In my lay-man‘s imagination, there will only be a few of these highway airstrips. And they are quite obvious, either from media reports, satellite images or when you drive along them in peacetime.

So the enemy will know and target them like your other airfields.

Read what Rich wrote more carefully. It leterally does not come up often in that context. I got involved with OpenOffice once it came to the Incubator. I've put many many unpaid hours on the project. Mostly by supporting the websites and forum installations, but also by catherding on security.

BTW - You can get help on LibreOffice on the OpenOffice Fora. Those people are there to help people.

I've made $0 on twelve years of work. I am currently the VP, OpenOffice (we rotate because it's a governance role).

If you interested in helping then the type of developer needed is someone who understands old C++ and has a passion to modernize that.
Andre Yang was a goober but we’re watching his stump speech about truckers getting unemployed en-masse by AI play out. Fascinating. His next part of the arguments was social unrest due to kicking to the curb one of the last $100k+ jobs for the average middle aged man outside of the information economy.

More accurately - Jaron Lanier’s views are playing out, which got picked up by Yang somehow.

from your reply it seems like you have not worked with high throughput workloads that FAANG deals with daily.

your suggestion of single node rdbms as a replacement to kafka suggest you dont have experience with workloads that cannot be served by a single machine, yet you still need a single architecture.

The California DMV still has to allow this. They currently prohibit on-road testing of autonomous vehicles with trailers or over 10,000 pounds.

Right now, Waymo is probably the only autonomous operator with a good enough record to be trusted with heavy truck operations. Waymo announced back in July 2023 that they were abandoning truck testing for now, to focus on ride-hailing.[1]

In the IO monad:

f x y z = do
let
foo = x + y
bar = foo * z

putStrLn $ "Here's bar" <> (show bar)

pure bar

If all you want is to log to the console for debugging from pure code, it would look like

f x y z =
let
foo = x + y
bar = foo * z
in
trace ("Here's bar" <> (show bar)) bar

Not recommended, but if you're dead set on commingling your effectful and pure code, you can freely mix them with the function unsafePerformIO.

In my experience having to write large applications with significant test coverage, the time savings from not screwing around with stubs and mocks and dealing with the external effects of test runs -- the relative annoyance of using a couple "do"s and "pure"s and separating out data transformation from IO is a small price to pay.

I think differently on paper. For some reason my entire mode of reasoning shifts and the way I process information becomes different. Could I write the same thing in Vim? Sure. But for some reason paper makes my thoughts more careful, more substantial, as if the input latency gives me time to think.
You can certainly use git, but then the model used to apply patches from different branches doesn't work for binary blobs.

So all the things that git specializes in are actually things you don't want.

> Once that's done, the operational costs are negligible relative to an airline.

I'll need to see some evidence for that claim.

1. The relatively slower speed of trains means that the amount of person-hours of labor for the crew is similar or greater than for a plane. And railroad employees generally have even better union contracts than airline employees.

2. Airlines don't have to build a track, but neither do they need to maintain a track. That cost is not negligible.

If they are storing credentials to access funds in a centralized database, they are by definition not "decentralized".

For example, Curve.fi meets the common definition of "decentralized exchange", and as such does not store credentials, etc in a centralized database. Their code is deployed to Ethereum and runs on Ethereum, so users are able to make trades against it, deposit funds into trading pools, etc, all without having a central actor hold credentials.

That said, Curve.fi can still cause users to lose funds if they have bugs in their code, but they do not have the risk of someone stealing passwords from their server and walking away with the money.

So there are 3x AVX512 registers + 1x 8-bit immediate.

zmm1 seems to be the output register, the 64x 8-bit results.

zmm2 seems to be the "64x parallel x" in Ax + b.

zmm3 seems to be a 8x parallel A-matrix. I'm not sure how these 8x A-matrices line up to the final result, but perhaps 8-at-a-time is the logical conclusion. (outputs values#0-7 use A[0] matrix. Output#8-15 uses A[1] matrix?)

imm8 seems to be "b" in the Ax + b formula, and is shared with all operations.

Ask HN: How iPhone saves you from being forced to unlock with face ID?
I wonder if there are means to save you from being forced to show your face to iPhone to unlock any of its services if bad guys catch you and tell you to do so?

My bank app, messenger apps, photos, browser and many more are Face ID enabled. I know I can turn this off, but I don't see any advise about this case where I can be forced to show my face in front of my iPhone to access my personal data.

If I compare it to entering a 6-digits password, where I can enter it erroneously by intention to make it blocked, I feel like it's the way to go with disabling Face ID.

Should it be advised in a more accessible way to broad public?

Yes, basically a marketing campaign. Wikipedia [0] says (in part): "Netscape's act prompted Raymond and others to look into how to bring free software principles and benefits to the commercial-software industry. They concluded that FSF's social activism was not appealing to companies like Netscape, and looked for a way to rebrand the free software movement to emphasize the business potential of the sharing of source code."

In other words, we had a thing that would benefit everyone in many ways, but some people didn't like the marketing message of "users deserve these rights!" so a complementary marketing message of "cheaper and higher-quality software through collaboration!" was needed to reach that group.

> I "think" more clearly on paper than I do with any digital tool I've used.

I have no specialist knowledge but my theory is this is at least partly down to the fact that it utilises our highly evolved fine motor control system. Compared to prodding chimpishly at a glass screen, using paper and pens/tools requires a more intricate system of movement and tactile feedback, which implies a more elaborate dance of of neurons and neurotransmitters in the brain and nervous system – and somehow our capacity to "think" is boosted by this extra activity.

I think we are heading towards a bit of a shift in this regard. With the CRA in Europe and similar legislation in the States it will become more important to have "enterprise" services surrounding open source software. This is for example support, but also vulnerability assessment and similar things.

I may be mistaken here, but I think we will see pure functionality become less important to enterprise customers, which might (maybe not, but one can hope) proper open source business models more viable again.
I don't know, what would be a better solution to catching criminals generally than installing police controlled cameras in everyone's houses?

Yes, I'm just pointing out the retraining isn't actually the real alternative people think it is. It's directly lowering the quality of life and destroying the economic future of an entire industry's worth of people and all their families/dependents. This is important to deal with as it is, not with some bs "well we offered them retraining!" as if that means anything.

This is basically what I'm saying. Though, I'm not necessarily saying misuse happens. Cars are complex, things break - even on the "best" car brands.

Right now, I have a poor opinion of GM exhaust systems and catalytic converters. I've had them go out "prematurely" on two vehicles that I've owned for extended periods of time. However, there's absolutely no indication any other vehicle would have done better in the same situation. It just happens that these are the two vehicles I owned long enough and drove enough for the exhaust system to go out.

> it's better at explaining stuff in a more direct manner without the always-excited way of talking.

I don't agree with this perspective. These aren't rigid systems that only respond one way. If you want it to respond a certain way, tell it to.

This is the purpose of custom instructions, in ChatGPT, so you only have to type the description once.

Here's mine, modeled on a few I've seen mentioned here:

You should act as an expert.
Be direct.
Do not offer unprompted advice or clarifications.
Never apologize.

And, now there's support for describing yourself to it. I've made it assume that I don't need to be babied, with the following puffery:

Polymath. Inquisitive. Abstract thinker. Phd.

I agree. In SQL Server, merge comes with a number of quirks that cause me more pain when I try to use it. The ONLY reason I use MERGE today, isn't to merge, but to include non-inserted columns in the OUTPUT clause; only the merge statement can do that. This can be useful when you want to output a lookup from a source to a newly inserted identity (auto-increment) column.

Generally, stay away from MERGE. At least in SQL Server.
Sure. But those async functions can't do any IO. If you need to use IO functions (e.g. from tokio), then you would still need to import that framework.

>Partly because that's what the Javascript crowd knows.

The "web crowd" leans towards async because most problems at scale where you would reach for Rust are almost always in a situation where they need to concurrently do a million tasks on 8 cpus. It's not because 'thats what the Javascript crowd knows', it's because, since the days of nginx (written in C), its been shown async i/o has better performance.

I don't see a lot of CRUD APIs in Rust - it's almost always database-like systems where the goroutine model and garbage collection cause a headache in terms of either memory usage or latency. I'm not sure if I agree that databases aren't "hard problems that need to be engineered".

That said, the reason Rust focuses so much on the web crowd, is because the majority of people paying the bills are the web companies. The Rust foundations biggest sponsors today are AWS, Google, Huawei, Meta and Microsoft (none of which I would describe as the "Javascript crowd"). AWS isn't hiring Rust engineers to work on game engines.

What I see more of is other industries just don't care about that much Rust.
The most likely first adopters are probably FedEx or UPS, which have huge numbers of heavy trucks which operate only between their internal distribution hubs. This will require infrastructure at the endpoints, to get trucks directed to the correct loading dock, backed into place, and docked. They'll also need fueling, washing, and maintenance. Random trucks between random points are a ways off.
That still doesn't mean that people who are rich didn't get there by providing value to others. E.g. Bill Gates made software that almost every business in the world chose to pay him for. Social mobility stats aren't relevant to that question.
