Yes, I too would like to see some data. For example, we have decades of studies showing that excessive speed is a significant factor to the point where even very pro-driver groups treat it as a given - here’s the first hit I got just now, for example:

On the other hand, we’re being told that measures which will probably save many lives can’t be allowed because of things people saw in a movie? This thread is has people talking like it’s common to have trees falling across roads too quickly to brake or needing to evade pursuit, but it’s really conspicuous how nobody uses first-person language to describe it actually happening to them.

Git does delta compression on packfiles, and if the same data occurs in different in different files, it actually can deduplicate it, even if it's not at the same offset.

Here's a demo.

First, create two test files. The files both contain the same two 1-megabyte chunks of random bytes, but in the opposite order:

$ openssl rand 1000000 > a
$ openssl rand 1000000 > b
$ cat a b > ab
$ cat b a > ba
$ du -sh ab ba
2.0M ab
2.0M ba

Commit them to Git and see that it requires 4 MB to store these two 2 MB files:

$ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/x/.git/
$ git add ab ba
$ git commit -m 'add two files'
[master (root-commit) 7f75af0] add two files
2 files changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
create mode 100644 ab
create mode 100644 ba
$ du -sh .git
4.0M .git

Run garbage collection, which creates a packfile. Note "delta 1" and note that disk usage dropped to a bit over the size of one of the files.

$ git gc
Enumerating objects: 4, done.
Counting objects: 100% (4/4), done.
Delta compression using up to 6 threads
Compressing objects: 100% (4/4), done.
Writing objects: 100% (4/4), done.
Total 4 (delta 1), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 0
$ du -sh .git
2.1M .git

I'm not sure as if it's as sophisticated as some backup tools, though.

> If your software blows up, in a way Rust would have prevented, and caused damages, isn't it kind of fair someone say "Hey maybe you shouldn't be using C"?

No, that would not automatically be fair. It depends on context.

> But if it is, and Rust exists, and could work just as well in that environment?

But that's what I am saying: Rust won't work as well in that environment.

My stretch goal is to have my build system replace the awful custom Makefile build for FreeBSD. In that context, Rust doesn't exist, even if they add it to the base system because something would have to build Rust and LLVM.

Same reason my bc is in C: it is used to build the Linux kernel.

Anyway, who defines if Rust works "just as well" in an environment? It all depends on context. You can't say that any Tier 1 and Tier 2 platform must use Rust for reasons such as the one I laid out above.

And what if my language succeeds and has more bug smashing power than Rust? Should the directive immediately be, "If any Rust project causes damages that Yao could have prevented, that project owner is liable"?

Of course not.

> > But C projects shouldn't have to be perfect on that front. Just close enough. Maybe 10% or less.

> Why?

Call it a hunch, but roughly, I think that a C project that reduces its memory bugs to that much would have fewer vulnerabilities than an equivalent Rust project, just because it would smash a lot of non-memory bugs along the way.

That is the criteria that should be used: how many bugs does it have per KLoC, number of statements, cyclomatic complexity, whatever.

Otherwise, you're just effectively mandating Rust anyway, and Rust projects could get away with murder.

But set an objective criteria like that, and SQLite and Curl would survive, I would make my project hit it, and poorly done Rust projects would have to clean up their act.

IOW, I do agree that Rust should be the default, but we shouldn't choose a metric that is clearly biased in its favor.

Train-delivered inventory is an interesting topic in general. Where I used to live there was a railroad salvage that essentially sold re-possessed freight from train cars. The owners of the freight either failed to pay the freight charges, never picked up the inventory or it was taken as abandoned for some other reason. I'm not sure how well this made sense as a business model, but they seemed to make it work.

> The priority should be sustainable development.

What does sustainable mean? It sounds like the implication is that if we go backwards technologically that would somehow be sustainable.

If we doubled down on renewable energy or even nuclear energy and desalination maybe we could increase water consumption and reduce our impact on the environment without any compromises. It’s easy to be a cynic and say we should reduce agricultural output or tell people to have a worse quality of life while giving up on finding solutions, because that viewpoint requires no problem solving or innovation. That isn’t sustainability, it’s the exact opposite.

This is almost verbatim what would occur in the US as well if the IRS believed there was a mistake on your tax filing. People just keep repeating false information about the IRS year after year, and nobody fact checks anything they read from random people on the internet, that now everyone thinks if you miss a zero on your tax filing you committed a felony or something.

Calling US tax filing unnecessarily annoying and in-need of improvement just isn't enough for some people. They need to make up stories and baseless claims to spread fear or something.
Doesn't seem like there's a smoking gun here — TBH I'd be more worried about lead pipes, which still exist and are known to be pretty bad. (And disinfectant byproducts in drinking water like chloroform, which are startling high, have known mechanisms of action that cause cancer when ingested orally, and have minimal if any phaseout plan.)

If we were still using asbestos to build new pipes that might be worth looking into, but since it's already phased out and the studies on harm in drinking water aren't conclusive... It seems like there are better uses of effort to improve health via drinking water changes.

Thank you for the response! Though I think in taking the rest of the context of my criticism away you've avoided the main point of it, which isn't conflict of interest, but whom your research serves to benefit. For example, it would be a shame if cancer research were carried out only on rich or educated participants. That doesn't mean that you shouldn't work with the population you have access to, but perhaps you should give some thought to how you can broaden participation.

Very well put, I agree. Maybe I'm too idealistic, but I want to make my stuff work my way, with nobody else's potentially-conflicting motives or possibility to just disappear involved. That is definitely more work, and a bad idea for a business, but for personal stuff that's what I want.

> You can kick around purely metaphysical notions of “ownership” to your heart’s content.

I guess what ownership means to me is, in the worst case scenario, if everyone else involved disappears, I still have possession of my stuff. If this open source project dies, I can fork it and maintain it myself, or pay someone else to. Compare that with some SaaS product, the company might just disappear one day and all of my stuff is gone with no recourse.
One thing this really drives is competition in the industry as well. I've been doing some work in the industry and there is a lot work that's needed just to handle the data properly. Basically, Space Force is stuck in bed with the big DoD contractors, since they are the only ones who have access, can handle, or have the money to even bid on projects, let alone execute on them. If this lowers the bar a bit more to let smaller and more innovative companies compete, I think that's a huge win.

Show HN: Replace Anything AI
Hi HN,

I've developed a website that allows users to experience the capabilities of the Replace Anything AI model. This model supports an array of features, including background replacement, face swapping, outfit changes, and the enhancement of various images such as portraits, product photos, and pet pictures.

The process is not only fascinating but also user-friendly. You can swiftly upload a portrait and create an ID photo, or even produce professional photos of your pet. Previously, we relied on photo studios for such tasks, but now, all you need is to upload an image and use a prompt to generate the corresponding background. This approach is equally effective for creating pet and product photographs.

This model significantly simplifies photo editing while ensuring high quality, and I'm excited to share it with everyone for a interesting experience.

A bit about me: I'm zhifenzhu, a frontend engineer from China. At the end of 2023, I embarked on a journey to become an independent developer.

I'm eager to hear your thoughts and feedback on this project. Thank you!
