> Bounds checks in a MemorySegment that contains the whole addressable range 2^15 times provide no safety.

That's why safe code can't obtain such a MS in the first place. To get such a segment you have to use a flag (enable-native-access) that enables unsafe operations. We're contemplating offering a MS without bounds checks in those cases (for off-heap only), but that depends on how much that would be useful.

> you're posting specifically about methods provided for MemorySegment that have no equivalent for Unsafe

I'm talking about unsafe code, not the Unsafe class specifically. The internal vector intrinsics don't perform bounds checks.

> but it seems unlikely that the runtime manages it

We're doing okay and, as always, we expect to improve.

Anyway, my point is that the top safe result was so far ahead of most submissions, that it's clearly not "wild" to prioritise safety given how few manage to get to the point where unsafety can buy them a significant boost. It also allows us to trust more invariants and perform more optimisations (once we complete "integrity by default") so that the overall performance impact is clearly positive.
I haven't been in a tesla in a number of years. First and only ride.

The map of cars around us having cars jumping to new locations and flipping between motorcycles and buses for the same neighboring vehicle did not inspire confidence. The car seemed confused on its surroundings.

An exiting lane to our left on the freeway came to a stop during autopilot and thought our lane stopped so it slammed on the breaks nearly causing the car behind us to crash into us.
Vehicle categories already exist in all countries, for the purposes of registration, taxation, safety, etc.

As someone who has been deliberately used at a young age by a doctor for a medical experiment, I can tell you this is how human experiments are done these days. Take someone with condition X which is life threatening, and suddenly you can do all your unethical stuff without having to be afraid of consequences. You just have to crank up the severity and you suddenly are free to do whatever you want.
I've been a Jetbrains customer on and off for years. In all of that time - across vast improvements in hardware - ReSharper has been slow. So slow. It doesn't seem to matter how many orders of magnitude faster are the CPUs, how many orders of magnitude increase in RAM. It just never seems to be usably fast in Visual Studio. Unfortunate that they apparently don't care about that, it would otherwise be a very good tool.

The German police will presumably sell the coins for euros because authorities don’t like to hold volatile exotic instruments any longer than they have to.

Cars exist because the need for faster and better movement exists. The process of movement created the need for the invention of the car.

> Talking about consciousness interacting with the brain makes as much sense as talking about movement interacting with a car. It's a process that's running on the brain.

If we follow this logic then "movement is a process that's running on the car."

Cars are a result of multiple conditions, including movement and the necessary material conditions to employ movement in a specific way.

Consciousness is a result of multiple conditions, including mind and the necessary biological conditions to employ mental factors in a specific way.
> I'm not convinced "Arduino has kinda dropped the ball"

While Arduino is strong in many regards and was a big improvement on the status quo when it came out in ~2005, they weren't very fast to respond to the rise of the esp8266 and super-low-cost boards made in China.

For a long time their cheapest product was the Uno R3 (with a 16 MHz 8-bit ATmega328) for about $25 while you could buy a Wemos D1 mini (with a 160 MHz 32-bit esp8266) for $2 - or an Uno clone on aliexpress for $3.

Arduino have updated their product line since then (the Uno R4 Minima offers a 48MHz 32-bit RA4M1 for $19) and it's understandable they wanted to retain compatibility with their 5v shield ecosystem. But they were definitely slow to respond to a changing market.
What's wrong to me is that Jetbrains' product quality has taken a noticeable nosedive at the same exact time they started forcing their AI assistant plugin down people's throats.

The plugin can be disabled but not uninstalled, and it attempts to reinstall itself when upgrading the IDE version. Additionally, the latest IDE version has suddenly pushed visual latency while typing into the seconds and broken syntax highlighting / error checking. The layouts now reset each single time I start the IDE, seemingly to always display the AI assistant tab.

Plus, the AI assistant is freemium, while forcing itself upon the user. After a short trial, it attempts to convert the user. It has zero respect for whether the user already has Github's copilot installed. The reset layout conspicuously removes the Copilot tab.

To top it off, the assistant plugin plain sucks and is not ready to compete with Copilot.

Intentional sabotage or not, this is by far the worst feature rollout I've ever seen in their products and it concerns me deeply about the future of Jetbrains. I've had to force downgrade to an early IDE release for now.
They were the biggest German platform for years... and notorious for masked interviews in the media and other stunts.

Would you mind linking to PhpStorm community edition? I don't remember being one. I believe only IntelliJ and PyCharm come with a free version, and the rest (CLion, RubyMine, PhpStorm, WebStorm, GoLand) do not.
So?

I don't know the precise structure, but Wikipedia is 'owned' by the wikimedia foundation.

It could be owned by Disney.

So the question is, who is the better custodian? A not for profit entity or a for profit one?

Raspberry pi is part owned by the raspberry pi foundation. The raspberry pi foundation shouldn't have a profit motive, so in that sense is a better custodian than some for profit 'holding company'.

No you could question, given they were prioritising business customers whether the foundation A) made the right decision or B) whether they have enough away over the company.

To me this all seems reminiscent of free software v open source.

A lot of people expected free(hard)ware, where it's becoming apparent it's more open source.

> while we are confident that the proposed time-limited exemption for that system follows established FAA processes to ensure safe operation, we will instead incorporate an engineering solution that will be completed during the certification process.

The way I look at it is that I can buy a print of a van Gogh for $10 but the real painting costs millions. The key difference there is that the real painting is real and the art house will some sort of provenance record that lists all previous owners all the way to the artist.

In the same way, when you buy an NFT you're buying the provenance without buying the actual art. The art is understood to be easy to reproduce, you can download it and print it yourself if you want to hang it up on a wall.

There is not a single animal that wants to be eaten, what are you talking about?

We just draw a line saying: this is ok, this is not, arbitrarily. Nobody, nothing, wants to suffer. That's one of the rare things life universally agrees on.

There is no need for words to express that.

And I think it's ok to do so, but if we can eat whales, octopus, and take cows and chickens and make their existence hell until we consume them, labeling a spider as "evil" because it likes eating humans is far fetched.
The simple intuition of the Poincaré Recurrence is this.

- Imagine a closed box, and this box has 100 particles.

- The particles in the box can be arranged in all sorts of ways due to what ever force (gravity, Brownian motion etc).

- They (the particles) can be clustered at the centre of the box, cluster and any of the corners of the box, or spread around the box in all sorts of ways.

- When a system i.e this box, change the way it's particles are arranged. It is referred to as dynamic.

- And all the different ways the particles can arrange themselves are referred to as "states".

Now, is the world a "dynamical system"? No.

Dynamical systems are just an instrument of abstraction used to this about such systems.

Given that this sysop thinks that these email providers still use IP-based block lists, it gives me the impression that this person has been out of the email game for a long, long time.

As others have mentioned, the domain also does not use SPF, DMARC or PTR address. So it'll also be unlikely that they sign their outbound email with DKIM.
> Is it already happening in the stock photos world?
I think for stock photos it's still early days. But soon when AI technology becomes so widespread that it's accessible to everyone, people will stop using stock photos. Especially if the level of image generation reaches almost perfection. After all with AI you can create anything without spending time searching for stock photos online
The table stakes for entry today are working SPF, DKIM, and DMARC.

I might have ignored email complaining about delivery issues if the above wasn't handled if I were running a serious email provider.
In my humble opinion, it actually requires a lot of intelligence to do really stupid things...

I don't know much about the specific space of ILP, but speaking more generally...

It is sometimes possible to specialize algorithms and implementations to be faster for certain subdomains of the overall problem, allowing real-world-useful problems to be solved in reasonable time despite the generalized theoretical complexity bound.

If this new algorithm is a fundamentally different approach from the current ones, this may allow ILP to be used in domains where it is currently infeasible. Vice versa, this new algorithm may not be feasible in domains where current tools thrive.

Ask HN: Self-hosted alternative to Apple Notes?
I find myself using Apple Notes more than I really like to.
It is just so very convenient to be able to access and edit notes from my phone when I am on the go. However, these notes exist in a closed off world in which I can only access them from my iOS and MacOS devices.
Since I also have to use both Linux and Windows devices quite a lot, I am seeking an alternative solution.

Also, I do not like my notes being shared with Apple, so I strongly prefer deploying a self-hosted solution.

What good alternatives are out there?

From a tech standpoint, it should be able to implement the backend fairly simply by having an authentication mechanism, a REST API and a key-value store. This should easily scale to whatever a handful of people in a household could put in it.

The bigger problem is probably the front end: for this to actually work well, there must be a client for MacOS, Linux, and Windows as well as iOS and potentially Android. For bonus points there would be a webinterface and CLI as well...

Has anyone made such solution?

One alternative I have thought of is to just use Signal's "Notes to self" feature. It kinda works, and there are clients for all the needed platforms. However, the limitation is that there is only one "note" in it, and the format is a stream of messages to yourself that you cannot really edit.

That diesel maintenance example gets even more interesting when read through the lense of the ongoing Boeing threads: there, consensus is that the root problem is authority erosion for the core discipline: in old Boeing, engineering was a requirement for responsibility, but that is gone. In hospitals, the core discipline still holds on, but the blanket implicitness (or is it already a struggle? "we can't give up the diesel!"?) leads to terrible outcomes as well. Extremes rarely end well.

What about reducing our usage of the Internet and using local resources instead? Personally I have local mirrors of various code repositories, and thousands of ebooks. If you want to nearly eliminate all surveillance, then you can air-gap your computer?

So we shift back from the collective (networked) systems to a more individualistic local information store? We already have local AI models, which is a step in the right direction.
Sounds like a sensible next step would be to try and replicate this in animal models (i.e. treat animals with growth hormones extracted from cadavers of same species) to identify the proteins/prions that trigger the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's, which could perhaps be drug targets for at least a subset of AD causes.
They still have a point, though. There are virtually no platforms that don’t support forward slashes, yet there are abstractions in place to avoid simply using slashes. This may be irrelevant, but it’s still a useless layer of complexity.

I recently found the Zed editor that looked very nice but I uninstalled it the moment I saw it had a GPT-4 console. I want nothing to do with AI. I want to do things with my own mind, the help of other human beings, and I'll try my best not to support AI even though it's encroaching on everything.

> I wonder what other stuff is being unwittingly transferred during standard blood transfusions.

Back in the early 1990s my wife worked in epidemiology studies at the national blood agency in our country. There was a lot of work to be done since at the time being a hemophiliac and receiving blood products meant a good chance of dying from AIDS or non-A non-B hepatitis (now known as Hep C). The agency did not test each and every donation for the presence of these pathogens because the available inexpensive tests had a poor success rate (high false positive) and the better tests were prohibitively expensive and the policy was "if we destroyed any suspected donations we'd have to destroy all of them". The idea of a screening questionnaire was floated but because most sexually transmissible diseases are also transmissible through blood, the question "Have you ever had sex?" would eliminate quite a few donations. They were a tough time for the blood agency.

Thankfully technology has progressed and testing for known pathogens in a blood sample is rapid and inexpensive. Testing for unknown pathogens is still a challenge.
100 percent determination describes most conspiracy theorists, it isn't a good trait to have that much of. So I'd argue that you need to drop quite a bit of it for the person to even reach average effectiveness, otherwise the person will be stuck trying things that will never work.

Being closed source doesn’t strike me as an effective mitigation tactic. You can already buy aftermarket ECUs and such, and it’s pretty unlikely the garage would install anything that would invade your privacy more than what the manufacturers have installed. If they were going to do it as a prank or shortcut or misguided enhancement, they can do exactly the same thing with physical parts. I guess I just don’t see the threat vector here. The big benefit seems to be auto manufacturers being able to rely on security through obscurity, which has already failed:

Yes, absolutely. It is today's equivalent of moral puritanism. It is absolutey inconceivable to me that a 21st Century society could be prosecuting people for viewing images. Distributing and making those images should remain a crime, of course. But absolutely not viewing. And we can continue to shut down the sites hosting such material, and encourage those who come across them to report them.

It is not acceptable to prosecute someone for the act of viewing a web site, regardless of it's content. Doing so is absolute totalitarianism.

In a free society, people should be able to browse any part of the Web without fear of punishment, it is fundamental. That includes exploring the darknet, one of the most interesting parts of the Web, without having to fear prosecution for unintentionally coming across child pornography.
