> then the hope is that you can figure out how to express that API in safe Rust, even though underneath it might be a big pile of C.

This is actually not what you want, because as a rule Safe Rust enforces the use of Rust references which have stricter requirements than C++ references or C/C++/Rust raw pointers, and will otherwise introduce UB. (See the Rustonomicon for a detailed description of those requirements.) A "safe Rust" API is OK when all callers can be proven to satisfy these requirements, otherwise raw pointers are easier even though they must be accessed in an unsafe block.

There are also pitfalls when passing arguments by value to Safe Rust, e.g. a `bool` value MUST be 0 or 1, an `enum` MUST not have an invalid discriminant etc. Breaking any of these requirements when calling Safe Rust from C/C++ makes instant UB a very real possibility.

> Its lightly-posted speed-limit is 35 mph, but more recently drivers frequently approach this crossing at 50 to 60 mph (or more on weekends)

Why do you think the average driver in America thinks it is ok to speed with general/complete disregard to others?

My personal opinion: they are not concerned about the safety of others, they are concerned about themselves/their family/their friends/their social circle only.

It's a greed thing. Greed with time.

If I speed, I can get to where I want to go faster and not waste my time being safe/waiting for others. Therefore, I can do more things that I want to do with the people that I want to do them with instead of "wasting it" being careful + slow in traffic.

I'd say that's the main reason why people are greedy/selfless/dangerous in traffic in America.

Yeah. And again, in fairness, I suppose it's counterintuitive how much energy is stored by a gallon of fuel, unless you have already been surprised by it in the past :) But even comparing to batteries, you have to stationary-bicycle for a long time to make the energy to charge even a single 18650. Hydrocarbon fuels are the rocketship that fueled the 20th century's insane industrialization (on top of their use as fertilizers, feedstock, etc) and things would look very different if we were still cranking the washing machine by hand, so to speak.

But I also agree with your point on the importance of "napkin math", understanding the relative order-of-magnitude of effects and being able to do some rough estimates on the spot, etc. I had some teachers who were big on doing this and I hear it's a fairly frequent interview question as well (often in the form of things like "how many ping-pong balls can you fit into a sedan").

Whole-systems thinking is another tough one, and unfortunately it's full of confounding effects that make this extremely difficult. Improving efficiency in one area but requiring a supply of physically-delivered goods is often not really a win in total. Another place this came up recently was discussion about the UA Flight 232 was that the FAA knows that having kids riding on lap in airplanes isn't ideal, but they allow it because the alternative (making people pay for a seat for children) would increase the number of car trips, which likely substantially increases the total death toll etc due to higher risk-per-mile.

Gotta be careful about "pushing the problem around", and that's an engineering lesson too. Making the application 10x faster but blowing up the DB is much worse - we can scale out to more containers if we need, but scaling the DB is hard. So even a "higher-efficiency system" (serialize JSON in C vs in java) might perform worse once it hits the wall. You haven't solved the problem, you've just pushed it around, and this is a worse place for a problem.
The particular facts you chose and your framing express skepticism about the way renewable energy is pursued. I provided additional facts which paint a different picture. Carry on!
This just isn't true. It's a weird fantasy of helplessness which breeds inaction. Our system is imperfect sure but not broken. This level of apathy is a choice and promoting it is harmful.
I think something is wrong with me, I keep getting into these kinds of conversations on HN instead of the insightful and intelligent conversations I used to have on here. I think I need to reassess the way I am engaging with this site.

Service to make tools for GPT builders
Here's an idea - make a business making endpoints for non coders that want to make tools for their GPTs? GPT's are really cool, but unless you can code and make an API, you can't really give them custom tools. If we have an online form that people submit their request into, we make the tool and host it for them and then they can expland their GPT way further than before
The conversation is about whether the tone is appropriate, not whether it is parseable.
This is circular reasoning. It doesn't need the approval, what it shows is official capitulation to a "distributed, trustless currency".

That's the big news.
I live in Australia and have noted the same phenomenon on Netflix. There is an absolute dearth of new, quality content coming through. I've seen no indication that formerly exclusive content from other platforms is making its way to Netflix in my country.

I don't believe the person you're replying to is overstating at all, and certainly not 'considerably'.
> sound if it was only used after clean exits.

yes, except maybe if a Drop constructor is run unexpectedly on the exit or similar

generally I think using it with anything which has pointers and/or runs Drop in it is brittle and prone to bugs

in turn most things which do not have pointers should be fine with a clean exit

and anything which only consists of memory where any bit combination is always valid should always be sound even on a abort (e.g. a `[u8]` allocated directly in that memory region or a `[T]` where `T` only has primitive non-allocating types)
It's the same fundamental thing. Apple stock is worth more because future people believe it to be worth more. The 'why' behind that is also the same: people believe that the product has value. Even deeper, people believe that their life has value. It's all the same fundamentally.
The issue here is the version of the webkit engine, which ships with iOS and that is 3 years old. Anyway a docs page is basic, it should be compatible regardless.

If it was several years ago and on a router that was not too expensive, then there's a good chance it's CPU was still an ancient MIPS core or two, mated to vastly more modern radios. Cheap routers have only recently started moving to ARM cores with enough performance to actually do routing, traffic shaping, etc. at gigabit speeds. There were a ton of routers sold that could only get close to a gigabit of WAN to LAN throughput by offloading NAT to their built-in Ethernet switch.
I agree with some parts of how it was handled and strongly disagree with others.

The USA also has had plenty its own issues with blocking speech. Few people know that the origin of the "shouting fire in a crowded theater" metaphor was coined by the supreme court to justify cracking down on political dissent.

I don't think it's particularly useful to attempt compare levels of free speech between the two countries without laying out a clear framework under which to do the comparison. There are organizations that do this, though you may or may not agree with the framework they use.
Doing some searching around online, it seems like git introduced sha256 support several years ago.

Putting aside the matter of Facebook being a reprehensible company, their investment in Oculus has turned out great. The first-generation Quest is the latest model I own, but it's still a pretty compelling offer to the average customer. It works fast and intuitively, it has a web browser, it switches between controller and hand tracking, you can install (and sideload) apps and games, and shockingly there are no "Farmville" requests clogging up your screen. The Quest UX feels like Facebook listening to their critics in ways Microsoft and Apple tend to ignore.

Frankly speaking, I expect both the Quest and Vision product lines to be failures in the long run. VR is this "it thing" that we've always wanted ever since we saw the fighter pilots using them, but we can't justify using them (or paying for them) in the way fighter pilots do. The average person doesn't want a spatial computer any more than they want an iPad so they own a tablet computer; they want a bigger phone experience, and I think that's what the Quest has nailed.

As an engineer who has spent a lot of time on performance engineering, I have to say that this course has a lot of the "cool" parts of the job, but not a lot of the actual nuts and bolts of it. Practical performance engineering is primarily about measuring things.

In large software systems it's not obvious at all where your hotspots actually are and what you actually should do to take care of them. Further, once you do an optimization, you need to be able to make the right measurements to prove that your optimization actually worked. A lot of optimization also involves parameter tuning (eg how many threads to do what), and that is incredibly dependent on having good measurements.

Once you know what to do, the actual optimizations you need to do - even assembly-level tricks - are usually somewhat straightforward in comparison to the measurements you do to get there. If you don't do the measuring, you are going to end up doing a lot of high-effort, low-return work.

ChatGPT+ is so very ridiculously valuable I'm shocked people still complain about it costing $20 a month. I would still pay for ChatGPT+ at $200 a month because it saves me so much time. If you're a knowledge worker in a modern economy, I can all but guarantee you're penny-wise but pound-foolish not paying for it.

I think this is proof no matter how little you charge people, they will always complain -- so ignore the complaints and increase your prices.

"Hey do you want an AI assistant more knowledgeable than any human?" "Yes!" "Will you pay $20 for it?" "NOOO!!"
My best use case so far has been to make GPTs for a particular tech stack specific to a project I might be working on for a couple months. Saves a lot of re-prompting to build context. Seems like they understand this type of use case as valuable since they allowed internal-facing GPTs you can share in the Teams setup. So you could easily create a GPT with access to an internal wiki, code, project context, business processes, etc.

There is a annual tradition on lobste.rs of a thread for sharing your current desk / battlestation at the start of each year, which often attracts some unique or interesting setups.

The problem is that they just don't have enough content you want. I think they'd give it to you if they had it. They're not hiding it. They just have so much catalog and when you've watched the good parts, cancel.

If you don’t care about looks, grab yourself four 20x20x2” furnace filters of your preferred rating (merv 13), a 20” box fan for $20 and some duct tape. Assemble into a cube with the fan on top and filters on the sides. Add a cardboard cutout to the bottom if you want. Make sure you orient the fan and filters so that airflow comes into the filters (sucked) and out through the fan. Replace filters every year or less if you use it constantly.

so much of game dev is work for hire that if the big publicly traded companies tap the breaks on things for a few months to mull over market direction or to make their stock price look better, it doesn't mean anything for the publishers, but results in a wave of game cancelations and layoffs for the tiny work for hire studios way down the line.

That's what is happening right now.

With ETFs, you don't need to be concerned with reserves. I can buy the ETF, go to the market-makers, and ask them to exchange the ETF for either bitcoin, or a cash equivalent. If they can't deliver, they're in trouble.

There's a two way arb in ETFs which keeps the price tracking accurate:
- if the ETF trades higher than bitcoin on crypto exchanges: the market makers can simply buy bitcoin on exchange, sell the ETF on traditional exchanges: do this enough and the price difference narrows.
- if the ETF trades lower than bitcoin on crypto exchanges: I can just buy the ETF, ask to redeem to bitcoin and pocket the difference. Sooner or later this price discrepancy goes away.

I'd say tell them to ask GPT why it won't work. It'll say something like "You're right, I've made a mistake...".

This should illustrate that it can be helpful, but it's just aiming to please whether or not the solution is workable or sane.
