> The standard counterexamples being XOR linked lists, or manual paging with mmap, or manipulating addresses as integers within asm!(), or literally any situation where you can't afford to keep the address as a single value-with-provenance sitting at a known location in program memory until you need it.

Well there's a crucial distinction in play here. The XOR linked lists, and some related tricks can be done with address exposure, we expose the pointer and get the integer address, then later when we reconstruct that integer we're allowed to turn it back into a pointer. Rust of course has (as part of the same experiment) APIs for that, you're just paying in terms of worse performance and no tooling (the tooling is disabled if you want these APIs).

But the other cases are just voodoo magic, we don't have a model to explain why they should work, which also makes it very hard to, for example, debug them if they don't. They're platform specific. As with the inline assembler, Rust takes no responsibility for whether you can write a correct program in these circumstances, good luck.

I don't agree that there isn't a practical difference between IFNDR and UB, I see attempts to confuse these as part of a desire to pretend that C++ isn't markedly worse at correctness than competitors, without the hard work to actually stop it from being markedly worse.
Ultimately dealing with the DOL will hurt the employer financially, but the employee probably won’t see anything from it.

Please enlighten me on something better. Nothing has enabled me to create in the same way of creativity and fun than Flash did; for me at least.

It was so practical that my mother made her first website in Flash.
Because the supply for this market is constrained.

It's a pure business decision based on simple math.

If the estimated revenues from selling to the underserved market are higher than the cost of funding the project (they probably are, considering the obscene margins from NVIDIA), then it's a no-brainer.
I wonder - do you think the drop in fertility represents a rise in overall life satisfaction or a fall? I hadn't thought about it much myself, but it seems like it could go either way.
The whole idea of salary is ridiculous. The FLSA needs to be fixed so that forcing workers to work 24/7 is explicitly banned.

This is particularly true for workers whose jobs are computer based. Companies think they can pay one shift of workers to keep the computers running 24/7. It should not be that way.

If a company wants its computing infrastructure running 24/7 it should pay for 3 shifts of workers. If not then shut down the systems at 5pm like any normal business.

Email/IM should also be disabled for workers who aren't actively on shift. Any expectation of monitoring email/IM/phone should be counted as work that requires payment and for which there is a maximum number of allowed hours a week.

There's a "non-zero" chance all life on earth is eradicated in an extinction event like a gamma ray burst too. That phrase is just smarter sounding weasel words.

With regards to generative AI replacing jobs, it seems to me that AI is best at replacing jobs I have a layman's understanding of, and AI is no good at replacing jobs I have a professional understanding in.

For example, I am not a lawyer or doctor therefore it seems trivial to me that AI will replace much of what lawyers and doctors do. Both boil down to reading a libraries worth of information and then making sense of it right? Bam, easy for AI.

However, I'm a professional engineer and I know how extremely complex and difficult computer science is to get right, especially at scale, therefore I'll eat my hat if in 10 years you can write "Create a facebook clone that can support 500 million simultaneous users" and the AI does anything but hallucinate nonsense that won't work. (There's also the reality that there is far more to large scale software than what can be typed into a computer or repeated by an AI, but hey, details).

I'll also point out that 10 years is not so long. 10 years ago Elon Musk told us AI was replacing driving and taxis. 2015 that feature was launched. 10 years later... not so much.

Consider also that in the case of lesbian couples both parents will be mothers but only one of them will go through the process of giving birth, so it's useful to have language which can account for this distinction.

We have very good relationship with our neighbor, who's French (this will become relevant later). We met at the playground both babysitting our kids. We know each other well enough to come visit, eat lunch together, go to various children-related activities etc.

About a month ago, when we came to visit our neighbor, she had a guest, whom she introduced as her cousin. Couple days ago, she had another guest, and what do you know: it's another cousin! I asked how many cousins does she have. Her and her cousin started to reminiscent and came up with an estimate of around fifty. My jaw dropped. Then they went down the memory lane, recalling their childhood and how they'd spend summers in the family house: legion of kids with few adults in sight.

My father had two brothers. One had (at least one that I know of) son. The other one had a son and a daughter. No two brothers live in the same country. I've only ever met one of my cousins, once. My mother was the only child.

But this was also the very common situation in my childhood years. Everyone I went to school with barely had any extended family. And once I started to think about what might have caused the difference: well, these things come to mind: my maternal grandmother had 11 siblings. One or two died in the war. A better half escaped the Communist regime. Those who didn't were sentenced to exile in Siberia. She and her sister were what's left of the family. That sister never married and had no children.

Similar, on my father's side, a bunch of relatives died in Holocaust. And even later on, through the Soviet times, the situation wasn't conducive to having many children. My parents, already, grew up in the world where cousins were rare.

It looks though like in some places in Europe, the war didn't affect the siblings situation so much, and even my generation had a chance to meet a bunch of cousins. The US seems to be similar in this respect, at least according to my wife's testimony, who would every now and then mention he cousin who is an architect / drug addict / screwed up by 'Nam / fashion model etc. There seems to be no shortage of cousins to draw on.

Our kid, in total, has three cousins. And there's unlikely to be more. Which is a new thing for the Western world, I guess, especially the parts not so much affected by the war. But this is how things have been for at least a generation in the East.

The conditions are very unsafe. Commercial farming has terrible air quality. Farmers have significantly higher rates of cancers including lung cancer. There is no one inspecting workplace conditions when you are hiring undocumented workers. Every bad heatwave in the southwest you hear sad stories of people in fields dying of heat exhaustion because their supervisors provide no shade for breaks or water stations. There are no standards federally even for what might be sufficient despite the massive rates of heat related deaths experienced by farm workers relative to the general population.
Interesting discussion. I agree with the author's premise.

IMO finding these undiscovered gems will stand out more; a lot of content has the veil of originality but lacking.

A lot of content online feels unoriginal or uninspired. Perhaps we'll see the pendulum swing back toward original long form journalism to tell these stories.
I think it’s worth calling out that failing to enforce regulations corrodes entire industries to the point that it’s impossible to compete in many sectors of it without breaking the law and screwing over workers (and maybe also customers!)

I've been using Z-wave devices since 2017 for the following:

1. Dimmer lighting
2. Door sensors
3. Relays to customize radiant flooring better than thermostats
4. Seasonal lighting (outdoor string lights/Christmas tree)
5. Thermostat

Overall it's been a good experience, however I think the SmartThings app is a pain in the butt and should be a much better experience.
There's also many generations of zwave specs. Everything is backwards compatible but perhaps perhaps perhaps the presence of older devices might slow down or degraded what newer devices might otherwise be speaking.

> This perceptual dissonance

Check out Michel Chion and the idea of the "audio-visual contract" [0]

I forget, but it has a more formal definition like source fusing in
experimental perceptual psychology.

What happens is there is a brief dissonance, but it only lasts for a
few milliseconds and then our brains _very_ quickly adjust to align
what we see and hear, and crucially what we attribute as the source of
sounds. This is a actually not a learned but a low-level adaptation
because sound travels slowly compared to light and it reflects (echos)
so our brains must be able to re-synchronise effortlessly.

That's exactly what it is, but the kids they employ don't know better.

The idea that there's a cabal of restaurant owners who get together to discuss in detail how they're breaking the law and maintain a blacklist is absurd when you stop to think about it.

Yeah, it sort of is what it is both in terms of venue size and time of year. At the end of the day you find an attendance strategy that works best for you and work around the worst of the crowding. (Or just watch some videos.)

Personally, it's quite a bit less tempting to attend than it was when there were a number of more-or-less time adjacent European events I had some interest in.
It's more that the resource balance in AMD's compute line of GPUs (the CDNA ones) has been more focused on the double precision operations that most supercomputer code makes heavy use of.
Not to give OP fuel for his fire, but just to be real because I am so sick of seeing these misleading comments all over the internet:

It's not just finding a woman who is willing. It's finding a woman who is a quality person that you have an attraction to that is willing.

When you are a woman who is sane, smart, have your life together, and is decent looking, you have many choices for a partner. Many of these woman can easily find high quality men who are their own age and have the same life situation.

So while yes, it does happen that the 50 yr old guy meets the amazing 33 yr old woman. Far more often than not, the amazing 33 yr old woman meets to amazing 33 yr old guy.

Unless you are down with divorced w/kids. Then it gets much easier. But you will be second to her kids.

The idea that demand for work remains constant is also bad. Work is not a zero sum game, it expands depending on capability and needs. Ultimately our desires are impossible to satisfy because we always want more than we have.

Let's take software development as an example - in 70 years of coding we have automated many things, we have plenty of libraries and languages at our fingertips. And yet we have more devs than ever, how can that be? Computers were five orders of magnitude slower 3-4 decades ago. Where did that power go into? We can clearly do today everything we did back then with less people. In reality we invented databases, applications, internet, and cloud computing, and now we have more work than ever.

Another example - in ML we suddenly got to a point where almost everything we did pre-2020 is now trivial. Why are we hiring even more devs to do NLP tasks? Our old skills suddenly became outdated, we had to learn a new paradigm, and here we are, with lots of work. Even labeling is seeing a surge - you'd think we don't need it anymore since LLMs are so smart, but in reality we need even more benchmarks and tests now that shit got serious.

Same for medicine and other fields - they all seen massive improvements and yet humans work just as hard.
All else being equal, their lower cost will get them jobs more easily than some expesive fella's "professional network".

Also, even when working remotely, people tend to remember who did a good job and who they collaborated well or has some good skills - and when they start another company, or move to work elsewhere, they can still opt to bring them in, even if they've never gossiped next to the same watercooler.

Something that is only touched on in passing is the 737NG delay. It wasn’t “chaos” that caused those delays: Flight testing exposed structural problems with the tail section (cracking) and it had to be rapidly redesigned and rebuilt.

I just replaced my Ikea hub (changed from Tradfri to Dirigera). It was annoying to do, but not hard. Took about ~90 seconds for each device. I did them individually, but I could have done them in parallel to speed it up.

If you want to demonstrate to someone why the legal system is designed for the wealthy and not the common people, I don't think you can do better than the entire subject of wage theft. Wage theft utterly eclipses every other form of larceny in the United States at least, and it is practically legal in every way apart from the letter of the law. Few companies ever see any consequences at all, and the few that do, it's fines here and there. No criminal liability. Certainly no SWAT teams raiding gated communities daily to haul off white collar criminals the way they'll roll out and obliterate an entire home (sometimes even the correct one) to catch someone selling weed.

The societal impact of this crime cannot be overstated. Billions of dollars stolen from workers, practically free of consequence.
Limiting the time of the protection would go a long way towards its acceptance. With the speed of technology today, 3-5 years seems reasonable. Anything beyond this is an overkill. This also discourages early filing (which now causes to mostly stifle related exploration) and encourages filing when the technology is ready for commercialization.

I also view the goal of the patent system as benefiting a society by encouraging the people to innovate. While somewhat similar to the current goals (rewarding the inventors) it is subtly different because its success and failure is determined not by the fairness to each inventor but by its statistical impact on innovation. If it tends to encourage innovation, even if in a few corner cases the time limits are too short for the inventor to reap the full reward, so be it. If it tends to stifle innovation by focusing on fully defending every inventor it needs to be repealed. My 2c.
That’s awesome. I have good news and bad news — my family is extremely Christian, we were missionaries to Turkey for ten years, I’ve converted people, etc. It is a very close community, and I do think the community aspect will just keep getting better for you. At the same time, different people will feel differently about what truth is. I’m agnostic now, because I feel like I would be lying to my family if I said I still believe it all. The mismatch in belief does cause some stress sometimes, even though it’s still mostly a sweet community that I love to have in my life. Your kids might feel the same in 20 years. I’m sure they’ll still love you dearly anyways, just be sure that your pastor/church/community will still accept them as well, if they do walk away from the faith.

> If we take the position that an inventor should be able to try and get profit from their invention

The premise is flawed, the conclusion can only be wrong.

Patents are an invention by the bourgeoisie to extend their control of the production of anything and extract as much money from it, but to make it acceptable they have the play the image of the "lone inventor in their garage". This inventor doesn't exist. No invention ever came out of nowhere, based on nothing more than hard work and selfless involvement. Nothing would be achievable without the help of society, past and present, without cooperation, and to close that off is to go against the very reason we as a species survive. We need shared creation of art, of technologies, of ideas, because this helps everyone. Look at Volvo giving away their rights on the 3-point security belt, or the penicillin being openly distributed; to favor individual wealth over collective well-being is borderline criminal.

Patents do not serve individuals, the individuals are not business people. Patents only serve companies which by definition steal the production of its workers for private profits.

Patents do not allow creation; patents prevent creation. Look at the history of steam machines and how many people were involved in all the subtle, incremental improvements. It's not just one guy suddenly finding out everything from scratch. One of them put a patent on his invention and froze the development of the steam machine for decades before allowing it to continue.
So? Taking the job blocks someone else out of it. Both are good people, so overall it doesn't matter who gets the job. The root of the problem lies elsewhere.
Well, that's my point: you need regulations!
