> The existence of .h files

C or C++ don't specify or require .h files. The languages don't even specify any file extension.

What C and C++ specify is the concepts of declaration and definition, and require only one definition across all translation units. Thus it's customary to simply have a single source for declarations to ensure they all stay consistent in spite of their usages, and those declarations are used once by wrapping them in include guards.

> Why would I want to replace straighforward function calls with network calls in my monolith?

I agree that there's nothing inherently virtuous with replacing a functioning local call with a remote procedure call. But if you decide to break your monolith up for any one of the reasons people tend to follow service-oriented architecture, then Differential reduces the friction.

Here are our thoughts on this: https://docs.differential.dev/advanced/soa/

Yes, there's a cluster.

Can you vectorize this with SSE. Most of the magic could be done with vector of four 32 bit integers.

The question is if the cost of setting up the initial vector and extracting the result isnt prohibitive.
Could it rather be that genZ are risk averse and choose not to volunteer to be shot at? Or even that they have greater moral concerns than earlier generations? (No judgement on that implied, complexities acknowledged)

It's annoying clickbait in that it's suggesting it doesn't look like the promo videos that came out in the past half year. Of course it may not look like a literally photoshopped concept photo from however many years ago. It does look exactly like the promotional videos from half a year ago.

That cash is coming from sales of inflated assets that have grown during The Everything Bubble. The Everything Bubble grew during a decade of negative real rates and, thus far, has not popped during rate normalization (although you can argue that rates are still very low or negative in real terms, depending on your measure of inflation.)

If The Everything Bubble eventually deflates (maybe it's different this time) and mountain towns remain expensive then I will be proven wrong. And I have to admit, the longer interest rates stay high and asset prices do not adjust down the less certain I am of my thesis.

We will see.

I haven’t updated the official website (priorities and lack of free time).

I’ve pushed out some updates after the maintenance mode announcement but the frequency is not guaranteed since my free time is extremely limited.

I’m still committed to fixing any breakages due to OS upgrades and ensuring the product continues to work.

While I have some new features in the pipeline, I cannot commit to any timelines as I don’t know when I will ship them.

I want to thank everyone who’s supported the product throughout the years, it means a lot to me.

Happy to answer any further questions.

Strictly speaking, it costs Apple nothing to run third-party software on your device. The closest thing to a compulsory fee is whatever Apple has to pay for the notarization process (which is pennies on the dollar).

> So isn't this fee just an extortion attempt?

That's up to the courts to decide, but Apple certainly hasn't painted themselves a favorable picture. When Dutch regulators tried pressing them to include alternative payment services, Apple continued demanding 27% of those transactions. Their disrespectful and obstinate behavior in the Netherlands is what made the DMA such an urgent act in the first place.

So all this will be well-worth keeping an eye on. The iPhone already turns record-breaking profits off hardware sales alone, it will be difficult for Apple to argue they're inherently deserving of taxing aftermarket transactions. At this point, "0%" is starting to seem like the only logical software fee for iOS.

> I think you start to run into real constraints and it’s not clear to me how Erlang solves these with it’s “2 simultaneous versions of the code only”.

There's different ways to handle it, but the 'easy' way is to write your new version that updates the old state to new state on first touch, and make sure either you have a no-op message you can send so the state gets updates or you have some periodic thing that means every state will be updated in X time.

There's also a way to have a 'try_update' that fails without changing anything if there are two versions active already. (Or you can just YOLO and anything with the old old version in the stack gets killed).

I'm not sure if there's better tooling for it now, but there wasn't anything to help you test transitions when I was doing it. For automated tests, you'd need to build a state with the old version, load the new version, run a test, etc. It's the same hole in testing if you do mixed version frontends against a shared database, or mixed version frontend vs backend; it's just more apparent because it's on a single system.

I heard that one ad nauseam: "the point is, there is no point," they'd* say, when I tried to coax them into discussions about what the point might be. I don't think you figured this out, I think you retreated to it.

Edit: I should be fairer about this. Yes, you "make your own meaning", in a sense, but I'm sure there is also an overarching abstract objective meaning. Even then, it's quite possibly more accurate to say a web or network of objective meanings: it doesn't seem to work very well as a hierarchy with a single value being fundamental, although I'm keen on knowledge-creation as a big one. But because abstract, objective ideas are impersonal and distant, they're not much use: you can't really work out what to do next, which is the basic moral question, from first principles, but instead have to be guided by what you like and what's around you, and this is adapting to the problem situation in which you find yourself (or the problem situations which you may choose to enter into). So to be honest I probably agree with you but just didn't like the way you said it, and I want to make a fuss about the details.

I don't think you have caught up with any of the serious professional literature in the area, such as any of the assessments of the very very nuclear-friendly sources such as MIT labs or the DoE.

Ignore the greens, and definitely do not adopt their innumeracy, as so man nuclear advocates have done.

The real foes of nuclear right now are the economics and construction costs. The high costs are not "cherry picked," they are the data that are exhaustive and what everybody has available for decision making.

The people that need to be convinced to build nuclear are utility execs, not the public. There are a plentitude of sites that would be happy to add reactors to their existing pair, if somebody would come with the money.

That's the real fight here.

The current pages are a strong sales pitch to semi-technical management. Look at all the things you don't have to implement!

I read this looking for indications that you've built the complicated thing correctly. Do you understand the maths involved, have you implemented it in a fashion that inspires confidence.

A distributed language runtime that works properly is a valuable thing. One that kind-of works when held carefully is a liability that people would regret trying to build on.
You are probably right. I think it will certainly take a very long time for the feelings of hatred and vengeance to subside, on both sides, after all the horror, death and destruction. But I think that the majority of the Palestinians, even many who have lost people in all the wars in Gaza in the last 17 years, would prefer peace to war. They have gained nothing from war and have lost way too much. Why wouldn't they want it to stop, at last?

Within Hamas itself there are moderates, that were sidelined in 2007, after the attempted coup by a US-armed Fatah faction that led to Hamas taking control of Gaza. These moderates have been severely weakened in the wars that followed, but Hamas has made a few entreaties for peace with Israel (all rebuffed) so they are still there and still have some influence. If Israel shows that it is serious about peace, these moderates will be empowered and will find support in the population, I believe.

I believe peace is possible. I'm Greek. After the Catastrophe of 1922 (you'll find information about it on Wikipedia), we have had 102 years of peace with the Turkish, our blood enemies for many centuries. A peace troubled, at times, but a peace nonetheless, that has endured. Like the Jewish, we too have lost the land where our ancestors lived for thousands of years, lost our greatest city, lost our greatest temple that was turned into a mosque by the Turkish. If we and the Turkish can make it work, the Israelis and the Palestinians can make it work. Not immediately, like you suggest. But someone has to make the first step. The Palestinians can't, because they're the weakest side and they cannot negotiate from a position of power. The Israelis must make the first move. And endure through any turbulence that follows.

>> My hypothesis is that without a blockade, external munitions would be shipped in and used to try and obliterate Isreal.

That doesn't have to happen but I think 7 October was the worst Hamas will ever be able to do. It's not like they'll suddenly grow a modern army with F-16s and armor. The IDF will always be able to deal with whatever Hamas manage to throw at them, there is no question about that in my mind.

Ukraine’s military on Tuesday claimed another successful attack on a Russian warship, marking the latest in a string of naval defeats for Moscow’s Black Sea Fleet that Kyiv says has reduced its numbers by more than a third since the start of the war.

The Defense Intelligence of Ukraine said maritime drones operated by its Group 13 special unit struck and sank the 1,300-ton Russian patrol ship Sergei Kotov in the Black Sea, near the Kerch Strait that separates occupied Crimea from the coast of southwest Russia.

“As a result of the strike by Magura V5 maritime drones, the Russian ship Project 22160 ‘Sergei Kotov’ sustained damage to the stern, starboard and port sides,” sparking a fire aboard the vessel, a statement said. The military later confirmed the ship had sunk.

> The natural way to define a member variable is (...)

No, that's not right at all. Your example is only a declaration of an incomplete type. You cannot do anything with it except.... Define a pointer to the incomplete type, and use that to keep the type definition hidden.

That technique is called pointer to implementation - pimpl. The thing you're complaining about?

I’ve toyed with the idea of open sourcing the product. I reached the conclusion that it’s not the approach for two main reasons:

- I believe in a strong, centralised product vision and execution
- The code will be packaged up and sold by unscrupulous people who will not contribute back

I’m a strong advocate of interoperability and open data formats. The Monodraw data format is not proprietary and I do have plans for a plain text format (currently, it’s just zipped JSON which doesn’t play nice with VCS).

Interoperability is key to competition and avoiding lock-in, so I’ll push in that direction as my time permits.

IIUC from a skim, the argument seems to be that -- assuming the AGI needs to be capable of "scientific paradigm shifts" in thinking, to accomplish superintelligent things -- that same flexibility means that it can reject any rules of thinking, including those rules that attempt to force alignment with humans.

(At the start of the article, I thought they were going to go in a different direction, when they introduced the aliens/AGI as dependent upon power and were talking about scientific method: that the AGI would learn through experience/experiments that it had to defend itself against the collectively fickle humans fingering the power switch. But I didn't see the article develop that.)

Please not more app-store abandonware. I have a decent amount on both my phone and my MBP. Sad to see, I really liked Monodraw for creating ASCII illustrations for source code (e.g. buffer layouts etc).

Of course, probably it'll be ok for a while, but then some App Store API or updated processor requirements will render it unusable like so many others (particularly on iOS).

So now I've got several abandonware apps that I paid for: Things (v1), Quiver, Artboard and now Monodraw. I can't say any of them really had any non-minor updates since I got them certainly not features (yes, I realize Things did a separate V2 app ... but I wasn't happy about that happening so soon after buying V1). I do realize some of this is Apple's fault in the way the store is structured.

Too bad Apple doesn't enact some sort of source-code escrow such that if an app is abandoned, the source gets published, but with owner-copyright retained so no-one can resell -- as part of the T&C of submitting an app. Maybe after 1 year of abandonment for a "big" company and 2 years for indie-dev apps.

I found the article interesting. However, the title of the article contains the weasel word "may". I've come to a practice that whenever I see the words may, could, might, etc. in the title of an article, I automatically invert it. In this case "AGI may align with human needs in some unspecified timeframe". This may not reassure you if you believe AGI will kill us all before that time, but it is a quite different implication.

Furthermore, sadly no "science" was presented to actually justify the original title's implication.
