Well, there are groups that want a government mandate for this, though.

If you don't know, Consumer Reports is paid by groups interested in encouraging the government to apply regulations to certain areas. A bike helmet manufacturer may pay them to create a report, host events, and otherwise lobby on their behalf to e.g. create regulations about people needing to use bike helmets.

It is my understanding that many Rust advocates, security researchers, and members of the Internet Society are effectively advocating/lobbying for partial government mandates of 'memory-safe languages'[0]:

> It’s not yet possible for government procurement to only buy memory-safe software. For example, you can’t say routers must be memory-safe top to bottom because no such products currently exist. But it may be possible for the government to say that newly developed custom components have to be memory-safe to slowly shift the industry forward.

> This would require some type of central coordination and trust in that system. The government could ask for a memory safety road map as part of procurement. The map would explain how the companies plan to eliminate memory-unsafe code in their products over time. The carrot approach for memory safety may include not just decreased future costs in cybersecurity, but also reliability and efficiency.

Pay careful attention to who is not on that list that opposes section 702. Microsoft, Google and Apple. If they really cared about privacy on their platforms, they would have made that known at some point before this vote.
What here causes you to say that Autopilot doesn't behave as advertised? It does exactly what it says it will do, steer and brake the car while a human driver supervises and is responsible for the operation of the car.

The Good Side, obviously.
Grew up on C++ and the paradigm (& loved it), but then moved to interpreted for use cases.

I think the uncoolness of them is due to OOP methodology... programmers today seem to want to be easier to get moving, but then spend more time debugging OR the debugging has been "placed onto" DevOps / use of Cheap fast hardware. IMHO
Personally, I prefer uptime. Uptime is king, in my world and I can't maintain that if people are haphazardly breaking shit throughout the Enterprise.

I work in Healthcare, so the needs are a little different.

I'm glad I work in the field I do. I'm not sure my personality lends itself to move fast and break shit.

Like all things, YMMV. :)

Thanks for answering my question.
Hurd works in the same sense that OpenBSD works. It has very limited hardware support so you'll likely have to run it in a VM, but it does work.
I have working adblock so can't say, but this should certainly be the season for their traditional connection and image marketing... So if ads were to appear it should be now.
I have been driven fully to an airport with FSD beta. Do people think this doesn't exist? Tesla does say it is level 2, but it seems if they add a few 9s of reliability it gets much higher quite quickly.
My first manager out of college told me "you can't always perform at 100%, it's okay to have off days". That's gotten me through a lot of meh days at work.

I usually just try again tomorrow when I can't get anything done. Or I try at 5pm and work later than usual because I didn't do anything all day lol.
Not everything is a server facing malicious actors. Forcing underflow/overflow trapping would absolutely harm optimisation and performance for use-cases where security is a non-issue.
They could have spent the time doing something good for humanity, like making their bed.
There actually was a mandate for government work in the past with Ada. This is not a mandate.

Even that mandate did not appear to fundamentally change the landscape beyond government work.
I think you accurately characterized a sizable portion of the electorate, not just in the US but in many Western countries. That still leaves me wondering what the social workers, homeless advocates, Mission workers etc were doing.

Either they have been screaming that this is a disaster and nobody wanted to hear (or amplify) them, or they thought it could work on a fully voluntary basis. The latter despite them being in contact with homeless and/or drug addicts regularly. Neither explanation bodes well for civil society.
There is this effect, as with Shakespeare or the Bible, where you read a classic and it seems tacky and common because you read the same references a thousand times without realizing that originally it was the source of those references.

Maybe that has some influence in your opinion, or maybe you don't like Flaubert, and that is fine, just adding to the conversation. There are other tropes, like the tortured French intellectual (old professor usually) and womanizer character in a novel (cough Houellebecq) that I find tiring, but "para gustos colores" (different strokes for different folks).

IMO Long descriptions of rooms do not feel as modern as Hemingway, but who is to say that fashion won't change in the future.
Given the vast amount of C/C++ around, much which will never be rewritten, I wonder if bounds checking compilers should be considered?
And many buildings were built deliberately poorly to make a quick buck - or caught fire too easily or fell down in minor earthquakes (or worse damage other property/people). Peoples homes are a major financial commitment and can ruin people if they're not up to scratch.

The regulations are to ensure the 10% of bad builders/developers don't ruin peoples lives.
I feel like we're just putting a few twitter hardliners on both sides and writing a news article about a topic and very few real people care.

Not based on what Satya Nadella said in an interview:

> "We have all the rights and all the capability. I mean, look, right, if tomorrow, if OpenAI disappeared, I don't want any customer of ours to be worried about it, quite honestly, because we have all of the rights to continue the innovation, not just to serve the products."[1]

If you're an OpenAI employee looking to continue working on the product, would you rather go to SalesForce and start from scratch or Microsoft and continue (roughly) where you left off?

Apple could still be a gate-keeper of 3rd party stores. They could dictate the security and protections that need to be in-place to be listed.

The PKI industry is a good example of this.

The Certificate authorities have to abide by standards and any misbehaving Certificate Authorities can be removed.

I'd argue the integrity of the PKI industry is just as important, if not more so, than App Stores and they have managed to maintain a device agnostic market with healthy competition.

At least once one open-source OS supports a bit of hardware, the other ones can look in and see what they need to do. That doesn't prevent them from lacking the personpower to actually do it, but it drops the effort required to reverse engineer from scratch dramatically, if someone becomes interested enough.
No but it did have Prodigy...

It's "our" democracy, not our democracy it seems.
With that attitude, it's not shocking you have a retention problem.
It's absolutely so insane that regulators would allow a vehicle with more advanced cruise control be used on public roads when previously there were never any crashes or injuries. Weren't things so much better before Tesla came along and invented adaptive cruise?
If software had been regulated like engineering we'd still be writing horrible OO-heavy enterprise Java style code like in the 90s and UML would be mandatory.
I was in that spot a few weeks ago. My requirements were not huge but a) I was on Windows and b), didn't want to waste too much time setting it up.

Tried a few DBs that didn't work well (e.g. I think it was ChromaDB that didn't support Python 3.12) and ended up picking LanceDB.

Very simple onboarding (just built on top of parquet) but there are a few rough edges.

Curious how it compares with qdrant for non-crazy problems
IIRC the worst example of this was Facebook declining to remove a reported scam ad featuring Martin Lewis (a well-known consumer advice guru in the UK, and an honest one) who had already launched a lawsuit against them for permitting scam ads using his image and secured a settlement where Facebook donated £3m to charity and promised to do better.

Which is probably a good example of Hanlon's law, because it's really in the interests of Facebook for their vetters dealing with reported ads to know who the guy that has the resources and inclination to sue them again when his likeness appears in ads on their platform, no matter how cynical their general policy on ad acceptance is.
How many of them are left? I thought it was very much a dead language
Competitor also means the average vehicle as driven by people who are on their phones. The roads have become more dangerous as we see in the data.
I for one would prefer that government projects set this kind of requirement. I don't want my government software implemented in C++. If they are the customer they should require that the projects do everything they can to eliminate bugs caused by memory unsafety. Using a Memory Safe language is one of the easiest ways to do so.
I suspect this comment will be severely underrated, but it conveys such a deep insight into the right way to think about this. This is the variable we really care about!
“ However, lack of control over what went on in the park caused a multitude of problems. Drug dealers and users arrived from all over Europe, and crime became rampant as dealers fought for control and addicts (who numbered up to 1,000 ) stole to support their habit. The once-beautiful gardens had degraded into a mess of mud and used needles, and the emergency services were overwhelmed with the number of overdoses, which were almost nightly. Platzspitz, or Needle Park as it was then known, became a source of embarrassment to the Zurich municipal council and in 1992, police moved in to clear up the park.[clarification needed] The drug scene then moved to the adjacent area of Letten railway station, which closed services in 1989. This spot was also cleared by police in 1995.

Today Platzspitz has been cleaned up and restored, and is presented by the authorities as a peaceful, family-friendly garden.”

So hands off was a total failure, so they gave up and forcibly removed people.
Photographic grain synthesis from crystallographic structure simulation
Fair enough, my knowledge of the situation in Lisbon is mostly second hand from some friends there. When I visited them, there were definitely areas that were pretty dodgy in what seemed to me to be the downtown. Now, I’ve been to places that are actually dangerous, and I’ve never felt unsafe in Portugal, but I definitely did get accosted by a clammy, pale looking gentleman with a nervous tick who tried to steal my phone.

> ICQ was a little before my prime

Huh? Most people associating ICQ with the 90s is so strange to me. In Russia we used ICQ so much it pretty much became synonymous with the concept of instant messaging itself. That was in the late 00s. Skype was also prominent. Then everyone gradually switched to VKontakte, when they introduced instant messaging and group chats, and then Telegram. At no point did we even try to get into AIM, Yahoo, or MSN.

Fun fact about our ICQ use: almost no one used the crappy official client. For most people it was QIP or Miranda.
Seems like the only policy is that it makes money. If it does then everything's ok.
There's also this from Satya Nadella:

> "We have all the rights and all the capability. I mean, look, right, if tomorrow, if OpenAI disappeared, I don't want any customer of ours to be worried about it, quite honestly, because we have all of the rights to continue the innovation, not just to serve the products."[1]

Microsoft has access to OpenAI IP that SalesForce or others do not.

For what it's worth, I've noticed a proliferation of scam ads on the radio over the past few years. Go to this website and get free cash now kind of stuff.
Why should the government be shrinking when our population and the complexity of our society + economy is growing?
I don't think you even need a "label" to get your music on Spotify.

From what I'm seeing, it looks like distributors such as CD Baby will put your music on there (and many other streaming services) for $9.99 up front and a 9% cut of the royalties (not the claimed 55%).
Yeah I was there before 2020 and it was beautiful, I'm surprised to hear what it's like now.
The main problem with signed overflow being UB is that it's an opportunity for compilers to blatantly do adversarial language lawyering against the programmer in order to enable optimisations.

When it comes to unsigneds, there's no such problem (and this is in fact the real reason why anything that can be unsigned in C/C++ should be unsigned).
Fortran doesn’t even have dynamic memory allocation, so it’s inherently safe.
If it's taking days to clear that's an issue with your bank, change banks.

https://www.nacha.org/rules/expanding-same-day-ach

Note the following

> The precise timing of ACH file processing schedules, including this new third Same Day ACH processing window, are not set in the Rules, but instead are determined by each ACH Operator.

Note that your bank is acting as the ACH Operator.
Fortran is probably as bad as C, and Ada isn't truly memory safe - they link to Ada/Spark which is but that doesn't seem to have much widespread use.

Foamed fly ash doesn't need "3d printing."

Of course you don't get news stories written about your project if you say "I'm doing Sprayed Foam Insulation with a slightly different foam formula"

The next thing I'd like to see are deposit-only bank account numbers tied to your regular bank account number, so that you can give someone the information necessary for them to send you money via ACH without them having all the information necessary to drain your bank account.

At present, I transfer money into my checking account for each and every outgoing transaction, so there's both a small time window and a small limit on the amount of a theft, and I have less to worry about giving out my checking account number for incoming transfers.
I suspect in these first few years they’re monitoring how it’s being used, and then will use that data to decide. If the usage is so low that the cost is negligible, they might just keep it free. Or it could spawn a regulation that this kind of service must always be free like 911 service on cellular networks.
How does the saying go? Something about freedom of speech isn’t freedom from the consequences of your speech? A recurring theme from MrMusk lately, it’s no longer genuine but now a cynical ploy.
Non-JS link?
> If the result of this case is "you can have a monopoly as long as your device and ecosystem are 100% locked down", that's terrible!

The rule of thumb, in a very simplified way, is indeed that you can have a monopoly as long as you don’t actively leverage that power to stifle competition.

That’s not a result of this case but a result of all the jurisprudence leading up to this case.

And to a certain degree, that makes sense. The alternative, making all monopolies illegal, would cause too much havoc because it would affect almost everyone putting out a product.

Say, for example, you’re a newcomer in the market of smart thermostats. By definition, you have a monopoly on your thermostats.
If monopolies are by definition illegal, regardless of circumstance, you’d have to allow Nest to put software on your thermostat advertising their products.

That’s an undesirable outcome, if only because it makes it harder for you to compete in that market.
I see, thanks! It seems like the valuation would suffer from the same problem as "owner imputed rent" component of BLS consumer price index surveys. People who haven't been in the housing market for 30+ years have no idea what the house is worth.
> DMV accused Tesla of misleading automotive customers with claims about Autopilot and Full Self-Driving with numerous false statements. One example: “The system is designed to be able to conduct short and long distance trips with no action required by the person in the driver’s seat.”
A landlord who doesn't use leverage is in the wrong asset class. Even if they'd somehow paid off the property before, anyone who didn't pull out cash when rates were below 5% and invest it elsewhere is a fool.
Where? In Europe I haven't heard any scams on radio.
It's even worse: the incentive is to police the creators, not the advertisers. Youtube will bend over backwards for advertisers whose "brand safety" team doesn't want their product to appear next to a swear word, and demonetize/strike/etc those creators. But the ad content itself isn't policed nearly as relentlessly.
No, they just require input from a user to be malicious and improperly handled.
It's unfortunate that there's no mention that not all these languages are equally safe.

Go isn't memory safe when using goroutines. See: Golang data races to break memory safety: https://blog.stalkr.net/2015/04/golang-data-races-to-break-m...

Needs more attention. Anything that replicates ChatGPT using OpenAI APIs is valuable because of this fact for enterprise use cases.

https://mitta.ai uses these API calls, has an Open Source code base for inspection, a strong user privacy policy, and doesn't store data in transit, other than documents that are uploaded. I'm working on TTLs for the files stored, so there is no data left behind (other than what might be stored by the user in the DB).
Was Salesforce actually set up to absorb these engineers, do they have the ability to take advantage of their potential availability?

Regardless of whether or not there was any sort of plan beforehand (I bet there almost certainly wasn’t), the fact that OpenAI’s engineers have shown the ability to make the “we’ll switch to MS threat,” and have it be seen seriously enough to change the company, changes facts on the ground in a way that regulators need to at least think about.
>such as US states joining the Union

This doesn't really count as freely joining, since half of them were forced to join by a bloody war.
The state is accommodating us by dealing with such people, and we keep the state under control (lol) by not letting them get sloppy with even the worst among us.

That is, the state does in fact have certain obligations, regardless of any personal feelings one may have.
E3 Is Officially Dead
You are almost irrelevant to the conversation. The scammers only need 100 people to believe them from the potentially millions of people who view their ad to make it profitable.

You are not grasping the scale of the matter.

It's a real shame. Legislating isn't a full-time job naturally, but we've made it so by turning it into one of the most lucrative careers. We judge congress perversely by output of new laws.
From what I understand it's all ego and ethics from him - the board is not stoked about the risk involved and the potential upside. I think Epic has something to gain by removing app store fees for medium sized games though - that would put money back in their pocket creating an opportunity to charge more for Unreal revshare.
Underdog yes, it's a multi billion dollar company going after multi trillion dollar companies. Fighting for the little guy nah, fighting for their own interests. Those interests are probably closer to aligning with what the typical small/individual player might want than what the larger players want but that's not why they are doing it.
could anyone find the price?
If you have no users then go for it. However if you do then you are doing those users a disservice by exposing them to unnecessary risk.

Maybe the risk is mitigated in other ways. Your software runs as a cli and not a service. It doesn't process outside input. It is run in an ironclad sandbox.

But honestly, if you think the way C++ with RAII want's you to then you should already be following the rules that Rust want's you to follow for the most part.
Destigmatizing Drug Use Has Been a Profound Mistake
I agree that it is not a mandate yet. NSA does have some interesting insight and expertise they acquire in this area.

Time and time again, we see experts make recommendations, then legislation and rules make it mandatory.

A burning example is most of NIST special publications. NIST makes no rules, mandates and such. Yet, mandates (e.g.,DFARS, DEAR) point to the recommendation as the requirement.

Right now there are two of these playing out in the cybersecurity field - zero trust and passwordless authentication.

So those who down this comment, you are right, it is not a mandate. Those who up this comment, you are right, it is likely to become a mandate.
malloc in (g)libc isn't any more language dependent than HeapAlloc or VirtualAlloc. Both have a stable ABI that can be used by any language.

this is an interesting distinction but I don't know enough to totally wrap my head around it. Can you expand a bit on how a home would have no mortgage but that same homeowner would?
Yeah, to my view, it's one giant corporation battling another giant corporation, with little regard for end users like me.

I suppose Epic is the smaller of the two, so relative to Google, maybe they are the underdog. But compared to me they're both "big dogs".

In general, I am in favor of breaking up monopolies and making smart phones and other devices more open so, on the surface, this seems like a good result.
Yeah it’s just the stack switching itself that is a handful of cycles, but there is not much more overhead for the full VM switch if you structure your embedding the right way. Code the code is source available if you want to peek at it!
