I talked about it to the people sitting next to me, and they seemed completely unaware of the news about it. In fact, they weren't even aware about what kind of plane they boarded. I suppose a lot of people don't care at all, and trust in airline control.
Unicorn is nowhere near production ready. The main author makes major changes in untyped Python and JS without any unit tests and every minor version change has had major regressions that can be hard to catch.
> But that's what I am saying: Rust won't work as well in that environment.

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

> Anyway, who defines if Rust works "just as well" in an environment?

Dude, you're super angry about Rust and you are refusing to address how any of this might work in a products liability context.

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.

> 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.

Good luck making this argument!

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

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.
Weird article. On the one hand there are the cost overruns and health and safety problems. Sh*t happens with big projects, cost-estimating is very tough, and if projects were honestly bid, most would not get funded.

But, "Access Issues" says people were not allowed in due to problems with documentation. Expired passport in one case and what I guess to be poor coordination between the directorial staffs of the Brookhaven and Fermilab in another. Unclassified lab or not, if those people _had_ gotten in, there would have been a bigger stink. [0]

Fermilab's public relations and outreach are strong. The avuncular Don Lincoln holds forth on Youtube on physics topics but it is apparent that the excitement has moved elsewhere long ago. I like outrageous experiments but DUNE doesn't move my meter compared to IceCube and that's just in neutrino science. [1]

Maybe big science has gotten too big and eventually other megafacilities with thousands of eggheads in one basket will feel the same pinch.

...yeah, but also capital controls make sense. you don't want foreign currency to inflate your economy, as you don't want too much of your currency going abroad. it's not like capital controls are made for fun.

Ofc they are not in the interest of everybody, but usually they are for the greater good.

Probably went cause of the freedom. He practically got a blank check from them and got to do almost whatever he felt like. Unfortunately Apple and the others are too big where they can’t be political and since they depend on certain governments “freedoms” it gets dicey as we head into an era of neo-brinksmanship.
Our speed limits are actually similar for similar designed roads in urban areas, 50km, 70km, 80km and 100km. A lot of the road network is 100km national speed limit, and you wouldn't typically drive that fast on US roads of a similar design (single lane each way and quite often just a single lane for both directions!). But this is because NZ has a low population and pop density. While the US has some places with a low density, it can still afford to road up those areas "better" than NZ can.
So purely fantasy situations then? Meanwhile, children, pedestrians, and cyclists are dying enmasse. Sounds like a perfectly reasonable trade.
The first thing that I think needs to be changed, is your mind: the government convincing us that it represents our will is one of the biggest cons in history.

The government is just an evolution of the strongest gang winning in an anarchy. That's what we live in, an anarchy where the strongest group has already taken power. They only consider our desires and needs as much as they have to to preserve their power. The truth is that collectively we are stronger than them, but if they can convince us that they are equivalent to our collective will they can pick on us in small groups or individually, because if we identify that they are not our collective will then we might enact our true will, and they can't stand to that.

So what to do about this? Acknowledge that the machine doesn't represent you, that it's not your fault, and take legitimacy from a system that abuses you by withdrawing your faith in it.

In CL/SLIME, you add `(break)` to the code where you want it to stop and hit `C-u C-c C-c`. Then you run the code you care about and you should be able to step from the break.

This is a common complaint about CL, but my experience is that the utility of debuggers is vastly over-stated. It’s a nice trick in Java or C/C++ or JS (in Chrome), but I've never found a debugger to significantly improve my workflow and the “repl-driven development” paradigm of CL solves the problem differently by increasing iteration speed.

Hi, I'm one of the maintainers on Ollama. We are working on supporting ROCm in the official releases.

If you do build from source, it should work (Instructions below):

The reason why it's not in released builds is because we are still testing ROCm.

This is great, when you do your first restic backup on a machine it uploads all the data which takes a long time and if there is the tiniest interruption (like computer going to sleep) then you have to start from zero again, at least that's the experience I had. Instead I went via excluding the biggest directories and then removing them from the exclusion list one by one, doing backup runs in between.
The entire Palm ecosystem was/is pretty awesome. I wish very strongly that it would have endured.
I would draw parallels with the trend to use lower level languages. People didn't care about server costs for a while until they did, and now you see articles about how rewriting server side logic in rust cut the cost by 20. Maybe in the future, energy costs will also end up as a tangible constraint.
Don't take it from me, take it from the first link on a cursory google search:

> Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) are a heterogeneous group of neurodevelopmental disorders that are diagnosed solely on the basis of behaviour. A large body of work has reported neuroanatomical differences between individuals with ASD and neurotypical controls. Despite the huge clinical and genetic heterogeneity that typifies autism, some of these anatomical features appear to be either present in most cases or so dramatically altered in some that their presence is now reasonably well replicated in a number of studies. One such finding is the tendency towards overgrowth of the frontal cortex during the early postnatal period.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5192959/

My interest in this thread is exhausted, so I'll agree to disagree with you on the biological deterministic aspects of autism, and let you dig down that rabbit hole.

My guess is that either you have no lived experience with autism, don't know many people in the autistic community, or have a lack of sensitivity to the very real nature of the disabilities it entails, even in the undiagnosed cohort—enthusiastic misdiagnoses aside. The difficulties from dyspraxia are of very real consequence, regardless of social interpretation. Stimming and regulating behaviours are a real thing, regardless of whether or not it is frowned upon in a social context. Meltdown, i.e., the consequences of not being able to regulate congruently to one's environmental stimulation and fatigue, is a real thing, whether it is accommodated for or not, in the same way that an epileptic fit is a real thing. One could say that a majority of the population is affected by this, and it doesn't change my argument. One could say that some people are so barely affected by their meltdowns, and it doesn't change my argument; they are still real adverse effects of real consequence experienced by people—actual disability—and no amount of equivocating makes them go away. There's perhaps people who are slightly hypochondriac and are looking to pathologize themselves, but this doesn't change my argument, because they aren't autistic, they're just making false claims. There's perhaps some practitioners who are either incompetent or corrupt, and this doesn't change my argument, because they are misdiagnosing.

> ASD-only vs ADHD-only vs OCD-only

Strictly my opinion: the kitchen-sinking of ADHD, OCD, ASD, dyspraxia, meltdowns etc. is due to the gaining traction on the idea that there's a neurological commonality that drives these behaviours, and their attendant comorbidity. Occam's razor.
I take the opposite approach - any spider I see inside, even Black Widows, I carry outside in a cup. At least they then have a chance. And Widows will do their level best to nest somewhere far out-of-site and never bother you.

This is more a case against misusing Multi in simple situations that don't call for it at all. If you just want to run a sequence of simple queries in a transaction, then that's what passing a function to Repo.transaction is for, and you're obviously just adding unnecessary complexity by bundling that kind of thing into a Multi for no reason.

If you're aggregating a collection of results from remote nodes into a stream that transforms each one as they come in into a group of potentially inter-dependent queries that might not need to run at all, then you might want to reduce over that stream and accumulate into a Multi, then maybe even discard the whole Multi if a critical remote node dies in the middle or the results just aren't useful. If you try to use a Repo.transaction function for that, you're either wasting database resources by running half a doomed transaction and rolling back, or you're hand-rolling a "collection" of yet-to-be-run queries (and essentially reinventing Multi).

Multis are specifically for grouping and manipulating a plan of execution. They are not meant to be Ecto's general interface to transactions, and of course you're going to end up with frequently awkward code if you use them like that.

What should I do to earn more
I am a software engineer at a academic institution. Not in the state and the pay is fair (I was a QA and turned to SWE just now).

> There still are some corners in China that are relatively permissive. One of these is Yunnan’s Dali, a city on the northern tip of highland Southeast Asia, where I spent much of 2022. There, one can find the remnants of a drug culture as well as a party scene for an occasional rave. But even Dali is becoming less tenable these days since the central government has cottoned on that the city is a hub for free spirits.
