> I have yet to see a C++ compiler where the union type punning trick doesn't work

The problem isn’t that compilers won’t implement the feature (that would take more work); the problem is that it’s processor-specific.

The spec doesn’t mandate many specific bit-ordering layouts (some are, such two’s complement representation being mandated which was just added, &obj == &base, I think nullptr has to be 0, etc) rather than trying to make everything a PDP-11.

15+ years ago, I had the same problem at a Starbucks. I asked the cashiers to reboot the modem, but they didn't understand why. Then I showed my new Microsoft certification card which has MCSE and few others and told them that "trust me, I know what I'm doing".

They called their manager, who was also suprised but decided to go along with it and restarted the modem, solving the problem. I remember all the employees were looking at me for the rest of my visit (which was few hours because at that time I was working from Starbucks).

Glad I wasn't the only one :)

Add to this also Shopify, Github, Gitlab, Basecamp and some others and you will see that Ruby can be use for more than shell scripting and data munging. Yes they are Rails but Rails is written in Ruby so they are Ruby.

Inconsistent tire wear has nothing to do with the tires and all with the car so. Oh, and wrong tires (as in tires not meeting speed, load or dimension requirements), tires wrongly mounted on the rims (common among "tuners") or wrong tire preasure.

Thank you for the article Alin! Writing this from Croatia and whatever you said in your article and here in the comments you can interchange Romania an Croatia without a second thought. Myself, I work for a US company and the taxman takes almost half of what I've earned. I wouldn't paying any or all of the tax if I would actually get anything in return. Public health system is on the verge of collapse so you have to pay everything out of pocket to doctors working half of the time in the public hospital, the other half in their own, private clinic (yes you've read that right). Housing prices are astronomical made worse by speculation and foreign investment (for their own houses). Gov says: "Take a 30 year mortgage, there is no housing crysis". Public services are atrocious, schools are terrible, police is terrible. The goverment exists only for transfer of EU funds to Croatian private companies owned by those same politicians or their friends. Everything else is secondary. It's just depressing really as there is no long term goal to actually have a better future for the citizens. Its just a race on how much money the govermnent take from you almost at gunpoint.

Despite you preferring paying websites directly (besides the fact that Brave is/was some crypto BS and took money even for recipients that didn't opt-in that didn't opt in[0]), most people mad at YouTube for blocking ads are people who won't pony up the money to pay for YouTube Premium.

I agree with your general take on the time line, but people mid-90s were definitely seeing where it was going. The move from phones in cars, to pagers, to cell phones, feature phones, and win CE phones happened in about a decade and some. That's enough evolution speed to understand that the next turn will happen within a few years.

The part where you say we are dropping it. It is very much alive and just as confusing as ever for settings that are on the fence. I positively hate it. I can't count the number of times where I heard (roughly): Can I continue speaking with you using "tu"?

When I was in high school (10y ago) we were forced to use "vous" when speaking to an adult.

That is why OP said your statement was false.
Bedrock is cool, but I found it prohibitively expensive for hobbyists and small companies. On a first glance, it would cost me something like $ 5,000 per month for a simple trained model.

Ignoring failures because they're moderately unlikely is the hallmark of a bad developer.

It's an extremely common attitude unfortunately - you can see it all over the place, especially in the Unix/Linux world e.g.

* People thinking sysvinit (janky Bash scripts) are fine.

* 50% of Linux software doesn't work if you have spaces in your path. GNU Make explicitly doesn't support that.

* Over use of text based APIs, e.g. /proc and /sys.

more or less agree, although this issue isn't even really unique to C++. in practice it's still worth it imo, since debugging callback heavy stuff isn't exactly fun either

Python might be popular but developer happiness isn't a concept I'd associate with the language. There's no joy in being limited to single statements in lambdas, for example.
Most use cases that actually require this much data are probably best solved by more traditional ML architectures (ie classification).

LLM work best on use cases where the working context is the length of a short research paper (or less). Building with LLM is mostly a exercise in application engineering on how to get them the most relevant context at the right time and how to narrow its scope to produce reliable outputs.

Fine tuning can help specialize the LLM model to perform better, but AFAIK, the training sets are relatively small (in big data terms)
With the associated context switch it's bigger, if anything. Busy looping to wait if some memory changes isn't really viable for many scenarios.

I think an exception might be made for a plain "C-like" struct that doesn't initialize members or contain anything except basic types. In the specific example[0] the code is actually surrounded by extern "C" { ... } so I suppose that the compiler "knows" this is a plain C struct? (Does extern "C" change parsing rules? I will need to look at what GCC does)

It's not the only logical decision, because it leads to a technological arms race which is costly to all parties. The outcome is binary: see ads or not. The only logical decision is to figure out from first principles what the outcome should be, and make it binding for all parties to avoid the arms race.

I guess there’s some legitimate complaint about compile time, but the code bloat issue is simply crazy if you use a linker written since ~1995. And the “fix” is simply to move the common code into a .cc file which the author even mentions.

The alternatives are worse: un-type-checked printf or the horrible stream interpreter system (std::cout << “foo”) which was a cute but bad idea in 1985.
What distress is Germany exactly in that would have been avoided by nuclear power?
Strange that despite claims that this would have happened multiple times (and people freeze and whatsoever) it didn't even come close yet... not sure if your distress becomes real (it hasb already sometimes despite nuclear..) but in Germany it was always pointless wrong panicmakong so far (we are not talking expensive prices but failure)...

TLDR: Don't claim the wrong counterexamples for your wrong cause.

Ruby and Ruby on Rails are not in a downward trend. There were maybe some year where the interest was decreased but in the last 2 years a lot of things happened: Ruby has a lot new features, Rails 7 is out and comes with a new approach to web apps like for example Horwire with the just released Turbo 8.

And there is a lot more: new conferences, new books and new gems.

(Shameless plug: I curate a newsletter called Short Ruby that covers news from Ruby world every week).

Maybe Ruby is not at the level where is was in 2007-2009 but it is also NOT in a downward trend.
Even if you could, the problem is that these documents are first chunked into smaller pages, and then embeddings are created. When you ask a question, the algo searches for relevant chunks and passes them to the LLM's overall prompt. If there are too many chunks, or too many chunks with similar content, the search also coupled with the LLM's limited context window would mean only 1-3 chunks get passed.

This isn't the same as the training data the LLM is trained on. As a result, it doesn't take advantage of the entire document set. So, if you have a billion documents, only 1-3 chunks will be picked for the final answer. When you know a question spans many many documents, the answer is never going to cover that.

You could make a recursive also where you parse all the chunks, generate summaries of those and then pass them to the next chunk sequentially and so on. But you can imagine how expensive and slow that will be. It might still work for you but this is a very lossy approach.
I like how in German lists US car companies are near bottom, but in US lists it's the German brands.
Nuclear seems all but reliable given all the unplanned downtime.

I guess it is unavoidable given those plants can poison a whole country and their neighbors if not maintained properly.

Oh. And built by the lowest bidder near you where non team players are fired pre-emptivly. There is no way a trust modern corporate management philosophy to build nuclear power plants.

The sudden shift in the nuclear power "public sentiment" is really strange and feels artificial.

I very much agree with this bit.

The real worry is the next step, as per your TOS you force me to render your website content only in an "approved" signed browser. This is a step several players are pushing towards (Netflix and others are already there, but for distinct reasons- at least they degrade your experience if you aren't using an approved stack).

This we need to fight against.
That design seems like a reasonable thing for a high level language that could then be converted to different architectures’ simd widths. But I’m kinda surprised it’s good at the ISA level. Eg for something like a vectorized strlen, mightn’t one worry that the cpu would choose vlen[1] too large causing you to load from cache lines (or pages!) that turn out to be unnecessary for finding the length of the string. With the various simd extensions on x86 or arm, such a routine could be carefully written to align with cache lines and so avoid depending on reading the next line when the string ends before it. I also worry about various simd tricks that seem to rely on the width. Eg I think there’s some instruction to interpret each half-byte of one vector as an index into some vector of 16 things. How could these be ported to risc-v? Or maybe that’s not the sort of thing their vector extensions are meant for.

I guess part of my thinking here is that the ISA designers at intel, arm, aren’t stupid, but they ended up with fixed widths for sse, neon, knights landing, avx, avx-512. Presumably they had reasons to prefer that to the dynamic risc-v style thing. So I wonder: are there some risc-v constraints the push this design (eg maybe low-power environments presumably pushed neon to have a small width and this made higher-power environments suffer; having a dynamic length might allow both to use the same machine code), or were there some reasons intel preferred to stick with fixed widths, eg making something that could only work on more expensive chips and thereby having something people can pay more for? Is there something reasonable written about why risc-v went with this design.

[1] what do you even pass to vsetvl in this case as you don’t know your string length.
Energy intensive industries are leaving Germany, and energy bills are more expensive that they'd have to be.
This misses nuance. Nuclear is brilliant in providing baseline power, but at the same time it's often extremely expensive when compared to the lifetime cost of other options, especially renewables. The ideal setup would be to strike a good balance between the two that covers demand without being prohibitively expensive. Where that balance lies is a topic of constant and loaded debate.

America is not ultra-capitalist. American capitalism is hobbled by regulatory capture.

Since I rarely compile all my code at once (usually just a single file followed by a re-link) compile time doesn’t matter much. And that’s even though while editing or writing code I don’t have all the slowdown bloat of an IDE so compile time is more noticeable.

The parent wasn't just talking about the top-level of their clothes, though, but about overall presentation. There's generally a lot more cultural signifiers embedded that you can cue off of than just "pants or skirt?" after all. Haircuts (highly gendered even at similar lengths), subtleties of makeup and jewelry, the cut of the aforementioned t-shirt and pants, body language, etc. (And there's still room to get it wrong, of course. But fortunately people who're living in the gray areas are generally aware they're doing so.)

Explaining all the details of how to distinguish e.g. a butch lesbian from a trans man to someone from a different cultural tradition is, of course, an incredible pain.

> The conversion efficiency from MSW to Electricity can be as high as 40%, with the remaining energy being recovered in the form of heat and exported as steam (~50% and the inherent heat losses. Of the electrical energy produced by the reactor, 1/3 is being used by the plant for internal consumption and 2/3 exported to the power grid.
