The crates are very granular. They are almost used like modules in other languages. And procedural macros currently require a separate crate. My point is that you probably have fewer authors than you think in those few hundred dependencies.

Second, the situation isn't appreciably better if you count by authors for c/c++. Running nm or whatever on a decent sized modern c++ thing is enlightening. Much of that is plastered over by the lack of a coherent package manager for those languages, so you end up using thebpackage manager for whatever distro your container is and you think "well thats all just RHEL stuff, I'm sure they vetted it"... but grpc by itself has a dozen or so dependencies not counting the ones it expects from the os. And that is a long list too. So we are in this situation with any language. Rust just makes it easy to see, which is good.

Cargo deny can block your pipeline on cves (or a license you don't want) popping up in your dependency tree. If you pin to a hash, and stick with it until you need a new feature or a cve appears, then that is about as safe as you can be right now. Austral has granular permissions for packages which would be even better, but it isn't here yet.

Lastly, the list of crates that get used to build rust itself is quite long, and I would presume some paths through those libraries got very closely inspected for the certification. Crates like tokio and clap and yesh num-cpus.
But not with ECC, unfortunately. At least not yet, but I haven’t heard of any in the pipeline.

What do you need 16GB for that doesn't need a beefier CPU to match?

I've been running multiple 2GB Pi's and I can't think of any reason why I'd ever need more than 4GB. If I need that also want more IO (PCIe/NVME) and more CPU to make use of it.
My point is that there is literally nothing the app can do to make that happen. So it’s pointlessly off topic here, Which is perfectly valid.

> the norms is that not only is design done with consultants, but also the consultants are supervised by another layer of consultants

Consultants. Is this the whole problem?

My own experience with consultants is that this model rarely works. Consultants are usually not knowledgeable enough about what you are doing to do a good job. They’re also incentivized to drag things out and create dependencies and if this harms the project or the business they just skate on to the next one.

I really do wonder if a shift to outsourcing and consultants is the entire reason America can’t build.
Are all your scans straight or do you also get skewed scans regularly? It's one of my disappointments with the ADS-1700W, a Xerox MFD scanner outputs all straight scans.

It’s sad but the US peaked sometime in the last 30-40 years. NY is the only semi-functioning metro system in the whole country and it will likely crumble in the next few decades unless something on the order of the New Deal is enacted.
One thing to consider though is that our nation has taken a lot of debt -in many philosophical forms- to fuel that growth.

Government deficit spending of course helping the economy. But we eventually have to pay taxes to cover that.

Citizens debt fueled spending on homes and goods. Corporate debt similarly. Student loans of course. Individuals and companies can only tolerate so much debt.

Our oil dependence never accounted for the cost of global warming and pollution, but we’re about to pay for that soon. This applies to many materials we consume, oil being the most prominent.

Corporations have systematically slowed pay growth while increasing prices, eventually consumers will be unable to afford enough goods to keep the machine spinning at full (growing 7%) capacity.

Our shrinking population from historic highs means each working person will need to contribute a bigger share to reach that 7%, while having more people to support.
It's the same as the normal rust compiler. The support demands are pretty much identical to open source rust.

Specifically, it forces you to run your stuff on NVidia hardware and gives you exactly zero guarantee of future support.

Thanks for correcting this mistake.

My point is that the judge awarded her a life sentence on each of the cases:

"on each of the seven offences of murder, and the seven offences of attempted murder, I sentence you to imprisonment for life."

Even if the other cases turn out to be unsafe, she would still be imprisoned for life.
Okay; maybe, in some cases going alone is fine, in some cases not. That's a discussion worth having.

But even if that's the argument, that's not the way OP phrased his point.

His point entirely about how the greats where just a product of their environment and not their individual greatness.

Not a discussion that seems to in anyway advance to a better progress of group or individual; but more about pettiness tbh.

8 second boot times? That's only 2 seconds slower than my Commodore 64. </snark>

On the less snarky side... I'm sure it's a better system, but just because a core can run at 2.4GHz instead of 1.8Ghz, you have to take power dissipation into account. You have the same problem with overclocking: you can up the clock speed, but there's still only so much thermal energy you can remove from the packaging before you have to throttle the core to avoid melting the solder off the board or delaminating the PCB underneath the package. I'm sure the good people at Broadcom have taken this into account, I'm just commenting you can't just say "oh. it has a 33% faster clock, it's going to chunk 33% more data."
I wonder the same thing. I suspect that the answer is they carry a lot of debt that they never really expect to pay off.
Some password hashing algorithms have a maximum input size. For example, bcrypt is limited to 72 characters. The speed of password hashing (which is deliberately designed to be slow to impede brute-force attacks) might also significantly depend on input length, hence overly long input may take too long to hash. Other than that, and general limits on request size, there is no good reason. On the other hand, since the hashes are usually fixed-length, you also don’t gain anything by using overly long passwords.

Everything that becomes successful is an improbable anomaly. Any company in the S&P500 is an extreme outlier. That’s the whole point of the venture model — you know 95% of startups won’t succeed, but 5% might return multiples of your investment and 1% might return multiples of your entire fund. But often not. Hence why the average VC fund can’t beat the S&P. This is how it has always been.
If you asked Russians about that 20 years ago nobody would say that :)

The main russian propagandist - Solovyov - publicly argued that Russia cannot invade Crimea and should let Ukraine do whatever it likes like 15 years ago. Now he argues Russia should nuke the west because Ukraine must be russian.

Not 20 years passed. Watch the videos - they are hilarious when you compare to what they are saying now [1]

Russia is authocracy, they will say whatever putin wants them to say. If putin decides to stop the war and go home - the same people will say with 100% confidence that it's the best thing to do and Russia has no interest in internal Ukrainian affairs.

As for strategic reasons - Russia moved its soldiers from Finland border after Finland joined NATO. Russia knows perfectly well NATO does not want to invade it. They not only know it - they rely on it.

>> We can see similar weakening indicated in climate models

>> we were not able to put together the observational evidence that would really allow us to pinpoint the cause of the observed decline

>> the grip of our addiction to fossil fuels

I take the above to mean that the ocean’s current state cannot be proven to be caused by climate change. But climate change models do indicate a similar effect would be had. So, given the current state, any future effect of climate change would only make things worse.

Importantly, “in the grip of” only implies a future determined by “the hand that grips” not that the past or present was necessarily produced by the same hand.

It's like claiming humans are perfect because hobbits, elves, and giants all look more or less the same.

Or it would be if hobbits, elves, and giants actually existed.

Domestic cats are impressive because they're very successful predators who have somehow persuaded the dominant species that they need petting, pampering, feeding, cleaning out, and looking after.

Let's not be too dismissive of that.

This is great, assuming it still works after scaled up testing. My university used to do a lot of what they called “bucket chemistry” scaling up reactions for industrial scale. They had those labs on the top floor with double thickness concrete floor so it would only blow the roof off in case of the worst outcome.

“ The pilot-scale work showed the new strains could produce up to 110 g/L of succinic acid and, after batch fermentation and downstream processing, an overall yield of 64%”

“could reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 34% to 90% relative to fossil fuel-based production processes.” - so still a lot of uncertainty then.
Cooling these CPUs silently is not a problem if you have room for a decent cooler. Which you typically do on a desktop.
A domestic cat can easily survive in the wild. A domestic dog cannot.

There is nothing new in the article, it is basic motivational “science”.

However, I feel this does not apply for me and greatly misses one of the main aspects of procrastination: the fear of disappointment. Can I fulfill my parents expectations? Can I fulfill my own expectations? Will I fail? Will it hurt to face my own demons and my own fears of not succeeding?

Am I just different? I thought this was what procrastination is about for everyone.

The US cares about none of those things and still pays insanely high prices for bad infrastructure. The US cares about businesses, and building good public utilities is fundamentally at odds with a for-profit model.
Have they tested this on more than one machine? This seems like it could be a hardware fault
They always intended to sell ads for monetization, the belief that the plan from 2009 would work 10 years later (internally this was their proposed timeline) is what put them so far behind when they finally started trying to think of new ways to monetize out of semi-necessity (Adam could buy out the other investors easily if he had to). I was disappointed they weren't trying newer/creative ways to monetize much earlier.

Context: I worked at Quora from 2012-2014.
> When children get into a fight, adults intervene by separating the combatants and sending them home regardless of who is "right"

Americans are not "adults" of the world and others are not "children". Stop with this patronizing and condescending bullshit. The world doesn't revolve around your ass.

> I don't care. I shouldn't care. I shouldn't have to know or care in the first place!

Same. Hard Same.

Next time when one of your european self appointed "adult" attacks another european self appointed "adult", don't cry like a b---h when the rest of the world continues to live their life like it doesn't matter.
That warrants further investigation, but even if the data is flawless it isn't necessarily a blow to EMH.

As a very contrived example (to hopefully illustrate the "risk-adjusted" component of EMH while keeping the math simple), suppose the market consists of many equally sized firms and admits a strategy where each year 0.1% of firms will be uniformly randomly selected to have all their assets wiped out and distributed amongst the rest, and due to social pressures and incentives everyone uses the same strategy. Each year, 99.9% of firms will beat the market [0]. Forward-looking, 97% of funds starting in 1993 will have beaten the market that entire period (backward-looking is less meaningful because it depends on, among other things, how many new entrants to the market there are, not just their performance).

Despite the 97% success rate on a 30-year basis, this is still very plausibly a scheme you wouldn't want to participate in (your relative valuations of different outcomes might still make it desirable, but that's a separate question), but it doesn't violate EMH because of the high risk relative to the small returns being achieved.

Bringing the contrived example back to the real world a bit, that particular failure mode is common whenever a machine-learning person tries to tackle the market on their own. Even after getting over the hump of price -> bid/ask -> order book -> ... in correctly modeling what's happening, they're still prone to doing things like predicting the chance a security will go up or down and assuming that both branches have equal magnitudes. When they throw it at the real world, they find that despite low false positive and false negative rates for predicting when the price will increase, the times they were wrong were all the high-magnitude events, so they lose money on average.

Another way that potentially ties back to the real world, what exactly are the incentives for an active fund manager? When they fail, can they start a new fund? Can they distribute excess losses to a couple of years when the market also did poorly to be able to say something like "every year the S&P 500 went up, we went up more" and still attract new clients? It's not obvious to me that you'd expect behavior which would result in a low chance of beating the S&P 500 over a period of time, even if strong-form EMH holds.

[0] This assumes the "market" is static, but the details aren't meaningfully different when you instead benchmark against something like the S&P 500.
Well, it's better than ISIS

How hypocritical of CR

How can I add it to the list?
One of the community cats in our area sleeps under our neighbor's solar panels on their 2-story house during the day, I've watched her walking around and ducking under them. I have no clue how she gets up there. Both that cat and another are regularly on our (1st floor) roof too, so they can sit under the bedroom window and interact with my indoor cat.

On the other hand, years ago one of my indoor cats escaped and climbed onto the roof and just sat there mournfully crying until we figured out where he was and got him down. Heck, the indoor cat I have now got herself stuck on the side of a not-steep hill because the ground cover was too loose and I had to climb up and get her.

I think it's just life experience, and indoor cats aren't the examples to judge the species by... any more than the avg sedentary human is when compared to people who actually exercise as much as we're all supposed to. ;)

Author's experiences aside, the American government looks like it really went through some absurd mental gymnastics when designing their college financial support policies. They intervened in precisely the manner they should not have intervened and got everything wrong, it's almost remarkable.

How did any policymaker with common sense not point out that playing the loan game would only end up in disaster? That it's downright moronic to forbid college loans from being eligible for bankruptcy and give every bank essentially a free pass to hand out as many bad loans as possible, and the colleges a free pass to charge as ridiculously as possible?

They could have done a hundred other things to make higher education affordable without landing in this mess - scholarships, price ceilings, subsidies... What the hell happened?

I’m not sure if Postgres could support that type of operation directly via count() since I don’t know if the fact that no other filters are present is available to the Index Access Method API.

It might be possible to do a separate function though, like:

select pg_bm25_direct_count(‘term’)*
that's not a fair comparison, because driving and drinking are not rules made by parents.

and for video games, the kids do know the consequences of not doing their homework in school. so they are able to come up with rules that will allow them to complete their homework.

I've been to the Lick Observatory. One of the best kept secrets in the Bay area is that during the summer they have a concert series which performs at the observatory and includes the chance to look through their telescopes, mini lectures from astronomers and a gaggle of amature astronomers who bring their own telescopes to give visitors more chances to view the night sky. It's so much fun for the price of a ticket.
Looking at their fork, I don't think it could do ASIL D until they upstreamed some stuff. And it isn't like rust is a generic language, it was designed to make reasoning about correctness easier, at the cost of anything else but performance, and even that if necessary.

Are there specific things you think should be in these standards? For a compiler I mean, there are things you'd require of deployed asil d code you don't really care about for a compiler. Like, if the compuler panics, that is probably fine. If my ABS controller panics, it isn't.
