Because rust is a systems language, it is common for people to use it for things that don't involve http or even networking in general. Alternatively, people often use it for wasm. Before async and specifically tokio, a much larger percentage of crates were usable by those people. This feels like something nice has been taken away or that our use case has been marginalized. The answer is to spend the time to create tokio and/or async free alternatives to these crates, but that was not expected to be necessary, so it also is added work. All of that is irritating, and the constant stream of "just accept it and get with the program. Stop complaining!" Is really quite infuriating. The fair answer is that rust should be what the majority of its users want/need it to be. But people who just need a back end language have a dozen or more good ones to choose from. People who need a systems language have far fewer choices, especially if you want memory safety, so having the aims of the language diverted from that end is irritating to say the least. I do suspect a fork to occur someday for those reasons, probably centered around the use in linux android or windows.
Perfect example of the point you were replying to.
Can you describe why you need it? Is it because of real performance concerns or just because it feels better knowing that you don't waste memory space and CPU cycles?

If you really need it, you can always fall back to using mutables for this special list, and use immutables for the rest? This is probably the reason why languages don't implement the Perceus algorithm. If you really needed it you might as well do it by hand.
Funny how you declare photo bashing as “fair use” but a cursory glance at the actual legality shows that you’re lying and that it is also in a somewhat ambiguous grey area at the moment, with lawsuits pending.

It is also massively frowned upon in art sharing circles.
Sometimes that is all that is needed to move the needle. Tik tok almost moved it but that just made certain swaths of the political spectrum ask for a direct ban (with other downsides eg. 1st amendment concerns) instead of overarching policy reform.

"Policymakers should consider the following steps:

Congress should pass a comprehensive U.S. privacy law, with strong controls on the data brokerage ecosystem. The most effective step to prevent harms from data brokerage for all Americans would be a strong, comprehensive privacy law."

Then, she added perverted(early on)/misanthropic deviant genius to destroy it, a character that lacked even basic verisimilitude by himself, or in context?

While the plot was enjoyable as easy reading, the background to me was like someone took one of those space-age-futuristic (or maybe modern solarpunk) landscapes and wrote "I disapprove" over it in red ink as a form of criticism.

I think it's more to do with companies harvesting IPs so that they can report them to ISPs later. This is pretty common on things like big new movie releases.
Do you want the suppler of low cost, powerful RISC-V based microcontrollers to be china or the USA? Oh wait, most of the good MCUs already come out of china these days, like the ESP32 (now made with RISC-V).

If everyone is turning to chinese manufacturers for their fancy new microcontrollers, american firms stop making them or die. Now chna's the only supplier.

Next thing you know, china's conflict with taiwan goes hot and china threatens to cut off exports of chips and products using them to anyone that intervenes. Sudently the USA takes the place of russia, who are scavenging STM32s from washing machines because of their war with ukraine.

If it feels like hell, imho you’re doing something wrong.
I work with banks on, um issues, without disclosing too much. Occasionally we find issues with their software workflows, and this isn't related directly to monetary stuff. We're not allowed to have the end result change in any way most of the time. "But we're getting a wrong answer", or "This is costing XX person hours per day" isn't up for consideration. Nothing must change.

Ugh, and on the subject of banks computer operations. Every single department is in deep blame avoidance mode. It's not "find and identify problems" mode, it's "It wasn't me" mode. We had our application performance drop to almost zero (like we dropped to disk operations per minute IOPM) I spent hours telling the customer, this is your infrastructure. So we got infrastructure teams on the call trying to figure out where it was. Not a single one of them were helpful "Everything fine, it's not us" was the first thing out of their mouths and the second was "We didn't change anything".

It took 10 hours of sitting on a call over 2 days to get the NAS team to admit they turned on anti-virus on the NAS side and that the machines were in meltdown mode because the CPU was off the charts. The preceding people didn't even look at the metrics before coming back with a "it's not my problem, everything is fine" response.
You browser loads a website. That is copying. Your browser saves a copy on a hard drive: copying. You integrate an image into a database: copying. Your CD player reads a song from a CD into its memory buffer: copying. All of these debates have already been hashed out in various courtrooms. There is a huge body of law that carefully defines was is and isn't copying, what is actionable copying and what is de minimus or ephemeral.

In the UK (though the law is different in Scotland) it's called 'treasure trove' (though that's not legally correct, I gather) and is assessed by coroners, whose normal responsibility is certifying deaths and reporting on unusual circumstances of deaths.

The government doesn't do this though, it's mostly banks that are guilty.
I'd wager the reason a lot of bank systems suck is that them sucking doesn't matter to the banks, and the suck can be even beneficial to them.

It's rather difficult to change one's bank, and banks actually put up hurdles to make the change difficult. E.g. moving loans can have huge "rearrangement fees", loan guarantees may be almost impossible to transfer and the bank account info is in quite a few places and having it wrong can cause missed payments.

A good example is that when it was proposed that one should be able to transfer their account number to another bank (as telecoms have to do for phone numbers here in Finland at least), the bank lobbyists said this is technically impossible, which is of course ridiculous. And that we still this day and age have to wait for days for a bank transfer to clear.

There are some new banks (e.g. Monzo) that once you use them, it really shows that most banks just suck.

When you have literally a license to create money out of thin air, you can be really incompetent (except in lobbying of course) and still make hand over fist.

It only costs ~25 cents to stop a robbery.
Not OP, but I'll share my insight. The main way I keep myself on track is to remind myself as to why I am doing it. For me it is: sports and not being hungover (in particular on weekends). When I drink too much I tend to get anxious and emotional and that would last for a couple of days. Both of these reasons kept me from drinking again. It has been 3 months thus far and I haven't had an urge yet. People are also much more accommodating these days if you don't drink.
I downloaded an app to help me track my "progress" and remind me as to why I am doing it. App is called "I Am Sober". It's free and has no ads. Can highly recommend.

It depends on how far you overbuilt in the current boom. The hangover can last quite a while depending on how far overbuilding has gone. Like I said, the Japanese bubble was entirely market driven and the real estate prices there have never recovered from the last spate of overbuilding 30 years after the fact. And like I said, I'm observing rental and price drops beginning now where I live. There's also the fact that right now, anyone still working on a project is going to try and complete it to be able to sell something rather than to sell nothing and still pay their loans; right now there are multiple 40 story residential towers in Seattle still chugging along despite the start of rent falls.

You can't have this excess if you never built rapidly enough in the first place. And at that point you've missed your shot.

I think public building is an important part of a long-term solution. However, I also think that local and state governments can't do it alone, and the feds are very unwilling to help, so in terms of the realism of getting 60 senators on board with funding publicly built housing, it's a bit of a fool's errand.
Oh please. They've already nearly completed next year's iPhone. These things don't get designed and built in a month.
I halfway agree with this, but not quite.

And GPT4 indeed does just fine with things like 32 * 64 in multiple different ways that humans can also easily memorise the rules for. When I asked it to calculate it step by step, and use easily memorisable shortcuts, it first suggested the "doubling and halving method (though it stupidly started by doubling 32 and halving 64...), and got it right.

I then told it I know the powers of two up to 2^24 by heart, and asked if that changed things.

It then reasonably pointed out this means I know 2^5=32 and 2^6 = 64, and 2^5+2^6=2^(5+6) = 2^11 = 2048 and got the rules right (that was exactly what I intended when I pointed out I remember the powers of two).

So it's not all that awful at these things. It does badly when you effectively try to get it to do maths by blind recall and without nudging it to work step by step, sure.

Where it then falls down tends to be when you ask it to do calculations which involves repetitively applying the same rules many times over, where it will tend to start out well, but occasionally make stupid little mistakes.

If anything the type of mistakes it makes are scarily close to the same kind of lapses in focus humans get when doing the same, where we just get sloppy and fail to add two numbers < 10 correctly for no good reason in the middle of doing it correctly many times, and fail to go back and verify each step.

Where some see LLMs struggling with math, I see LLMs trying to do math in a way that is disturbingly close to how a human school child would, and making the same types of mistakes.

fwiw, the main problem with the CLA seems to be that folks have assumed the intention is to use it to switch Synapse & co to a closed license in future - which I honestly hadn’t even considered as a possibility. For one thing, we could have done that already under the Apache license; instead, we deliberately did the opposite - to move to AGPL. The reason for the CLA is purely to allow us to sell AGPL exceptions to commercial forks.

Nice PR attempt. Not falling for it.
The reasoning in the article is primarily about how the journalists felt there was fatigue/reduced demand/lack of ability to understand/etc, aside from the comment about censoring the operational pieces, there was little mention of Snowden's wishes.

So, based on the article, we shouldn't be blindly trustful of the journalists' thoughts on this matter; they are clearly biased toward the information published as well as the value it brings their brand (individual or employer).
Checking in with USG before publishing leaks is actually fairly standard procedure in order to avoid operatives on foreign soil being endangered.
Wikileaks did so at everyone of the major releases they did in conjunction with NYT, WSJ, spiegel and Le monde - it's also the reason they stopped collaborating with some of those journals when they found out some of their journalists hadn't followed procedures.
And it's also the reason why claims from USG that WL was endangering people's lives abroad were always bogus.

About NYT withholding documents: well, that's just another nail in the coffin of the paper's credibility, along with yet another betrayal of the trust they got from WL...
Wow that's crazy, what are you doing with them? I have my second pair (upgraded to pro) and I had them under water so many times.

This is not correct. As of Q3 2023 T-Mobile is number two by subscriber count:

* Verizon Wireless: 143.3 million (Q2 2023)

* T-Mobile US: 116.7 million (Q2 2023)

* AT&T Mobility: 105.2M million (Q2 2023)

source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mobile_network_operato...

By stock market cap:

* TMUS: $170.51B

* VZ: $150.84B

* T: $113.22B

(of course, VZ and T both have significant businesses outside of wireless so this isn't a super great comparison)

Hard to argue that you should break up either of Verizon or AT&T and not T-Mobile by literally any metric, unless you think wireless companies shouldn't also have terrestrial networks
The point of async is to move concurrency from the OS into the process.

The specific issue is the context switch. The compiler, with async is able to be much more performant than the context switch that the OS provides.

Depending on the kind of application you're writing, this is either splitting hairs or very, very important. Applications that handle many (hundreds, 1000s,) of concurrent IO will have a noticeable performance improvement using async versus the OS's context switching.

But, there's a more important thing to consider: "async" in a programming language communicates that a method can block. It allows the caller to start the call and do something while it's waiting for the result, without needing to get into the weeds of threading. Purely relying on the OS for context switching means that it's hard to know what methods block.
Yes, individuals are allowed to have a public forum for that. We have freedom of speech after all.

However such a forum is going to be of particular interest for would-be money launderers. And therefore you should expect it to be monitored by people connected to the financial system. With the result being that active participation in such a forum may itself become grounds for a SAR to be slapped on you.

A SAR that, of course, you will never be informed of. Because, as patio11 documents, that is the law.
>>I had assumed it would be state government

I dont want them either, but these types of things are really controlled by Federal Highway regulations in practice.

> I would much prefer an automated solution (e.g. speed governors or automated speeding cameras).

Well I have the right to face my accuser, and speed camera's have been ruled a few times to be unconstitutional for that reason. I for one DO NOT want automated speed camera's and much like Red Light Camera's you will find they are not deployed to increase safety but solely for Revenue generation, and often have the impact of REDUCING safety not increasing it.

red Light camera's caused more crashes then they prevented, and speed camera's would do the same

>What other solutions would you propose for enforcing speed/safety regulations on state owned infrastructure?

Well I would start with a reduction of said regulations, and a more rational objective way to not only set the regulations but also appeal them.

LOTS of speed regulations are less about safety and more about setting up revenue streams for towns and cities.

You seem to believe that all of these regulations and government actions are purely out some altruistic motive to protect you the driver. Nothing could be further from the truth. Most of the regulations are designed to

1. Create Revenue stream
2. Give the police a pretense to look for other criminal activity

Safety is maybe 3rd on the list, maybe

in short, i do not trust government, and I do not look to government to protect me.

Well, you can loan out some amount of money that you don't have, hopefully get it returned to you with some interest.
I don't think it's a lie, but I think it's an illusion. Today's outcomes are tomorrow's opportunities. If you take two people and give them equal opportunities, then check in again five years later, they won't be in the same position any longer. But this means they don't have equal opportunities any longer.

To be committed to equal opportunities is to deny people the right to take advantage of better outcomes. But then what's the point in trying?
No, it's not the plaintiffs. If successful each subscriber might get a few dollars--while the plaintiffs' lawyers would get millions.

Unfortunately there are several times as many organizations who will take an undecipherable wall of text as an excuse to push their pre-existing beliefs and agendas with cherry-picked out of context quotes, intentionally misleading interpretations, and bad faith arguments.

Snowden has said he picked Greenwald/The Guardian over NYT because he knew Greenwald had the journalistic integrity not to squash the story/defer to the government, meanwhile NYT delayed publication of a story to after the 2004 Dubya reelection when requested.

As to Greenwald's media career? He seems to have gone really fringe the last few years, but maybe I'm saying this because I believe the mainstream Russia and Trump 2016 story, and he seems convinced about US mainstream media incompetence/deference, but he just sounds angry all the time...
