> Well then the problem would be different?! If instead the problem is the problem as I described it, you have an issue!

Maybe. Others will have different situations, so no, even if the problem is as you described it, you may have left out some variable that precludes Rust.

> you are refusing to address how any of this might work in a products liability context.

Yes, I did. I said that we need some objective measure, and I gave a few examples. Anything that doesn't measure up gets hit with liability.

> If you want to say software development is so inherently creative, and subjective, it can never have standards, standards which the rest of the world relies upon to build cars and toys and industrial boilers, then good luck with that opinion.

I never said we could not have standards. That is the opposite of what I said.

I said that we should have a fair objective measure as a standard, not "no memory bugs" or "always write in Rust on Tier 1 and 2 platforms."

> Good luck making this argument!

It will actually be easier with time as more Rust projects appear.

But as a taste, I find it illuminating that, despite calls to rewrite SQLite and Curl in Rust, no one making those calls has actually sat down to do it.

And I do have some personal data in that regard. [1]

> Unfortunate for you, products liability is actually about that metric: safety. If you want to forgo better practices, languages, etc., that's fine. Because products liability law could never simply mandate Rust. You must only be reasonable in your decision making process.

Yes, I agree.

But if we choose the wrong standard, then products liability law will effectively mandate Rust, and that would not be good.

And "safety" is not just about memory safety; it's about that and everything else. Rust is not a valid excuse to forget everything else.

I think you are trying to come off as like, cute or funny or ironic or something. But I think this attitude is impoverished. Unless you live in a place that has spiders which are particularly dangerous to humans or pets, most spiders are just another little bug that has no interest in harming you.

Over the last ten years I went from smashing every bug I saw in my house to taking a moment to carefully scoop it up with paper or a cup and then take it outside. Most bugs (at least in my area) are safe to handle. Instead of seeing them as a threat to be destroyed, I recognize that they are innocent creatures that have no desire to mess with me, and I can serve as a steward to move them somewhere more acceptable.

There are some exceptions - pest creatures which nest in your walls or go after your food which must be exterminated to ensure a safe living environment for your home - but most often I just find little bugs trying to do their own thing, and I take a moment to provide them a little care so we don't get in each other's way.

I think this mindset helps me be more respectful of all living creatures, rather than presuming I have the right to kill those which I dislike.

How do you know it's genetic memory and not simply popular attitudes from childhood? I know when I was a kid people generally viewed spiders as a threat and so I adopted this attitude. It was only as an adult that I learned this is basically folklore and in my area not based on fact. But I don't think that's genetic, I think it is cultural. I would be curious to see what anthropologists have discovered about this.

The problems with crypto are two folds and I think it's resounding in HN in general:

A- it festers with scams and scammers.
B- it uses astronomic resources world-wide.

Both of these have counter points but the overwhelming majority denies it credibility.

I have for example envisionned systems like "proof of latency" but have never engaged in proving it seriously, due to the overwhelming putrid nature of the crypto world.

I hope some day it turns, I personally love the ideology behind it.

It's hard for humans to be unbiased. Part of the reason is he seems to be an ABC.

The elimination of term limits is huge red flag for me. My hot take is that it’s setting Xi up to lead a China into a global culture war long-term and I think it’s likely we’ll similar misguided Putinistic behavior before he’s gone as he continues to build his trusted circle of yes people over the coming decades.

For a brief period around the pandemic period there was definitely a relatively short uptick in nationalist rhetoric but I believe that was more of a response to Trump’s sometimes contradictory statements on China and their leadership.

Largely, in my relatively average sample size in discussions with chinese-born expats (possibly a bias). Xi is not a very popular leader, particularly among the more affluent population.
Lack of options? Show me a shaving razor or printer or air filter that isn't gouging me on the price of consumables.

Fundamentally you can make more money by overcharging for consumables and undercharging for the product itself, than you can by "fairly" charging for both. In any product or industry with high entry costs (read: low risk of new competitor market entrant showing up), many businesses realistically are going to leave that kind of money on the table?
I used to use GNU parallel for automating some server management tasks (this was circa 2009). For long-running or (typical) non-interactive tasks, it's fine, but if you're waiting to see output from running something that should be really quick, the startup time is (or was) frustratingly long.

I ended up writing my own parallel execution code in shell, and it was much, much faster.

I had tried out Allegro Common Lisp (which is from Franz, Inc.) and LispWorks Common Lisp, some years ago.

I had also tried out GNU Lisp at some point.
According to the EULA, video streams going through the video server are not kept or stored anywhere. The video server only performs simple stream broadcasting to connected colleagues. Video streams themselves passing through the video server are unblurred. That's how it works for now. Streaming blurred video to the server is a possible future improvement. This would require simultaneous streaming of two streams (with and without blur) when, for example, 2 colleagues out of 5 unblurred themselves for each other. The idea now is to see how attractive the concept is to people in general.

TUBA had a sane transition story [1] although I do not know of the mailing lists these were discussed (probably done in in-person IETF meetings).

For IPv6 transition mechanism you can look into the ngtrans mailing list regarding AutoIPv6 which is basically an extension of 6to4 but instead of connecting IPv6 networks over IPv4 it would extend to IPv4 hosts. There's also an archive link in my post history which you can lookup (on phone).

As for current v6 being interoperable with v4, that is patently false.

Those two points are valid and I don't deny the credibility at all. As someone who's been involved in crypto for quite some time, I can add 1000 other items to that list.

At the same time, I also think it is wrong to deny/ignore/discount the counter points. In my eyes, there are always two sides to any story.

Fortunately toner is pretty easy to evaluate for yourself. And my Brother printer doesn't stop working when the low-toner warning kicks in. It also clearly shows that it's hardcoded to kick in at 1/3 capacity, they make no attempt to hide it.

I might be miunderstanding something here, but what complexity here is resolved by making this a framework? Isnt this just:

> a religion is just an idea a bunch of people have. It doesn't have a mind of its own, Religion writ large doesn't either,

it literally does and that’s the point of it as a memetic complex. It is quite literally the “mind of its own” that ensures its memetic survival.

lmao @ the concept that large masses of everyday people all independently choose to not wear mixed fabric because they each performed a reasoned analysis of the facts and determined that poly-cotton blends are a threat to a 20th century society. Like that’s just facially ridiculous as a concept - of course religions have a mind of their own.

This isn’t an empty point either, when religions make “yeah, it’s good to stone people to death for having sex with other men” as a tenent in their holy books then you are going to see that show up in people’s belief structures. It’s not just a one-way street from people’s personal feelings into the religion, the religion itself has a significant if not majority influence for deep believers. And while some people will buck the holy book (“the Old Testament doesn’t count” etc) - the reality is that most people will not, because that’s apostasy. Or at most they will abandon a few key precepts and keep the rest (“the gays can live, but marriage is still an inherently religious institution” etc).

Go around a church and ask people and you will find the overwhelming majority believe in the overwhelming majority of their religion’s precepts. Because that’s why they’re there in the pews.

It’s as ridiculous as claiming the US government “doesn’t have a mind of its own” - we have elections of course, so in principle people get the government they want, but it also doesn’t mean it doesn’t have things where it’s completely out of step (drug policy etc) and it certainly doesn’t change the fact that if J Edgar Hoover is coming after you (read: vigorously enforcing the legally ratified will of the people’s duly-elected representatives) that it’s gonna feel a whole lot like the USG has a mind of its own.

The whole point of governments and corporations and religions is precisely that they have a will of their own. They are living creatures - self-executing colony organisms. Memes and systems of rules instead of genes. That’s why they exist and why they work and why they hold real power in the world.

It is a bit more than a tendency; the article in question is promising to mutate it in ways you don't like.

The odds are something like 1:20 that this is a change current users appreciate. Anyone talking about interfaces being "dated" is a risk to users.
Instead of killing and starting a new process for every input, it will keep re-using the same coproc'ed process. I guess it's almost like daemonizing the process into several daemons and then feeding inputs through the daemons as one becomes available.

I can see this being useful for extremely short-lived high paralleled jobs where the overhead of the killing/starting a new process is significant relative to the job itself.
Also, paying more or less for the development effort has environmental impacts from the resulting economic activity - slower/harder development makes the software cost more, the downside from co2 foorprint pov is that whoever did it buys more plane tickets to holidays, second cars, etc. (Depends on the domain of the app if it would have been better to finish sooner or later from environmental pov)

This is very strange to me, because I have always used Sublime Text for super-giant corporate repos, and always found it snappy compared to vscode. Wonder if it was a specific usecase or something...

Every little while, I try to make vscode my main editor, because I enjoy all the features. I always switch back to Sublime just because VSCode's slowness bugs me.

Haven't really tried Zed in earnest yet, though, because of no custom LSP support.
Those goals lol. We truly have reached some peak levels of idiocy with the ruling class of MBA executives. When it comes down to it they truly have nothing to offer. They extract wealth and deliver to shareholders, end of story. When real problems need solutions they turn into wet rags
This should be nice to be easier to integrate with things like Vanna.ai, that was on HN recently.

There a bunch of methods need to be implemented to work, but then usual OpenAI buts can be switched out to anything else, e.g. see the code stub in https://vanna.ai/docs/bigquery-other-llm-vannadb.html

Ollama is built around llama.cpp, but it automatically handles templating the chat requests to the format each model expects, and it automatically loads and unloads models on demand based on which model an API client is requesting. Ollama also handles downloading and caching models (including quantized models), so you just request them by name.

Recently, it got better (though maybe not perfect yet) at calculating how many layers of any model will fit onto the GPU, letting you get the best performance without a bunch of tedious trial and error.

Similar to Dockerfiles, ollama offers Modelfiles that you can use to tweak the existing library of models (the parameters and such), or import gguf files directly if you find a model that isn’t in the library.

Ollama is the best way I’ve found to use LLMs locally. I’m not sure how well it would fare for multiuser scenarios, but there are probably better model servers for that anyways.

Running “make” on llama.cpp is really only the first step. It’s not comparable.

That's horrible. When I see a spider, I let it crawl on a piece of paper and move it outside.
I think the way you described it explains the prevalence of 3D for demos. Geometric shapes in 3D can be described in closed form equations requiring a minimum of storage, however, the only ‘mathematical’ way to store 2D style animation is as SVG curves for outline and then a space filling algorithm for the coloring of those areas. The curves are, I am making a back of the envelope guess, going to require as much storage for a single arc/line as the description of a geometric volume in total. Then there is the issue of storing the animation of those curves which is going to require even more space, compared to the relatively small transformation matrix for the 3D volume. I would also guess the complexity of the rendering algorithm would increase (both in actual algorithmic and space complexity).

— Caveat: one could argue that storing a series of bitmaps and then playing them back like a flip book could be ‘mathematical’, especially if some procedural uncompressing algorithm was used to generate full frames from on some change differential, but I don’t think that exists and the space requirement would be huge compared to 3D volumetric descriptions.
