I had a similar experience moving from the Bay Area to Kansas in the 2010s. I landed in the KC metro just in time for the most recent local emergence.

I was amazed at what was such a foreign experience. There were so many cicadas flying about that I had them landing on me and hanging on while I mowed my half-acre lawn. Free loaders!

Joking aside, the sound was deafening but strangely comforting after I got used to it. My dogs also think cicadas are fun-to-chase snacks, as we still have some emerge every year, just nowhere near the volume during of a brood emergence.

To the sibling poster wondering about how to experience them: my experience is they’re impossible to miss during a brood emergence, even in a metro area like Kansas City. Driving through… you’ll definitely hit them with your car! But just stopping at a local park to see them all hanging and flying around trees will net a pretty solid experience, too.

Agreed.

But actually, I kind of feel like people who have had training to get good at planning, are not the most likely people to be good at avoiding "overplanning". I think it's the same kind of incentives as how dentists have a natural bias toward recommending dental work, or chiropractors toward recommending adjustments, or programmers toward recommending writing software, or anyone toward doing a bit more of whatever it is they are trained at and good at than a totally unbiased third party might really need or want.

It’s a mistake to think of vectors as coordinates of objects in space, though. You can visualize them like that, but that’s not what they are. The vectors are the objects.

A vector is just a list of n numbers. Embedded into a n dimensional space, a vector is a distance in a direction. It isn’t ’the point you get to by going that distance in that direction from the origin of that space’. You don’t need as space to have an origin for the embedding to make sense - for ‘cosine similarity’ to make sense.

Cosine similarity is just ‘how similar is the direction these vectors point in’.

The geometric intuition of ‘angle between’ actually does a disservice here when we are talking about high dimensional vectors. We’re talking about things that are much more similar to functions than spatial vectors, and while you can readily talk about the ‘normalized dot product’ of two functions it’s much less reasonable to talk about the ‘cosine similarity’ between them - it just turns out that mathematically those are equivalent.

Corporate serial killers are everywhere really. The tobacco industry knew their product was giving people cancer and tried to hide that from the people they were poisoning. Philips knew their CPAP machines were filling people's lungs with poison and killing them but hid that as long as they could so they could sell more machines. Baby food companies like Gerber and Beech-Nut Nutrition knew/know that their baby food contains dangerous levels of lead and other heavy metals but continued to sell them to parents who unknowingly spooned that poison right into the mouths of their babies. DuPont and 3M knew that the PFOA and PFOS they produced were highly toxic and causing everything from cancer to deformed babies but they lied to cover that up so that they could keep profiting and now every single one of us has that shit in our blood and there is literally no place or creature on earth that isn't contaminated with it. It's in the rainwater. Johnson & Johnson knew for decades about the asbestos in their baby powder. The Sackler Family knew they were pushing dangerous levels of opioids, but they lied and even bribed doctors to overprescribe their products leading to millions of deaths and countless addictions. Car manufacturers have killed people for higher profits too.

Every single one of these companies were already pulling in a massive amount of wealth but they knowingly killed people just so that they could make even more money. They all put additional profits over human lives. There is no reason to think they wouldn't put a bullet into someone's head if they thought it would make them more money. In many cases it would have been much more humane if they had.

I cannot for the life of me understand how you look at the cosmic background radiation - which appears equally in every direction you look, for as far away as you can see - and say this is evidence of a "big bang", originating from a single spot at a single point in time.

> Besides, I don't think anyone really has a local network which is faster than their SSD. Even a 4-year-old consumer Samsung 970 Pro can sustain full-disk writes at 2.000M Byte/s, easily saturating a 10Gbit connection.

You might be surprised if you take a look at how cheap high speed NICs are on the used market. 25G and 40G can be had for around $50, and 100G around $100. If you need switches things start to get expensive but for the "home lab" crowd since most of these cards are dual port a three-node mesh can be had for just a few hundred bucks. I've had a 40G link to my home server for a few years now mostly just because I could do it for less than the cost of a single hard drive.
Yep, I am even considering writing a Rust library that does opinionated opening of SQLite databases with FK enforcing turned on, strict tables and other such goodies, and making sure dates / times and such are properly (de)serialized so we can have some convention inside SQLite itself (f.ex. fully ISO formatted datetimes with or without timezones).

excellent explanation.
If the IBM PC hardware (and PC/MS-DOS) was locked down, it would have lost its advantage and would have had equal footing with the alternatives, the Apple Macintosh, the Atari ST, the Commodore Amiga and the Acorn Archimedes, all of which were also locked down.

CP/M (or MP/M) and GEM could run on hardware that wasn't locked down so perhaps some 16-bit version of that could have replaced the 8-bit versions of CP/M and that hardware could have become an open standard.
Agree, but I'd suggest zstd instead of gzip (or lz4 is fine).
Heh. That's how the warez scene used to operate back in the AOL chatroom days. You would request a bot to send you a file, and it'd forward the whole series of messages to you, which you'd add to your download manager, and then un-rar once done.

I've heard.
That applies to software application stores (AKA the App Store), OSes (AKA iOS) are notably absent from that recital.

Artivle 6(7) also does not make any distinctions about "once software is installed".
I have tremendous respect for Herb Sutter and I can understand where he is coming from, but things like

"All dereferences are null-checked. The compiler injects an automatic check on every expression of the form *p or p-> where p can be compared to nullptr to null-check all dereferences at the call site (similar to bounds checks above). When a violation happens, the action taken can be customized using a global null violation handler; some programs will want to terminate (the default), others will want to log-and-continue, throw an exception, integrate with a project-specific critical fault infrastructure."

make me just feel sad about the future of C++. The problem is not only CVEs, the problem is that the language makes doing the right thing hard and doing the wrong thing easy. All larger C++ projects I've worked on already use an enormously complicated and fragile combination of compiler-warnings-as-errors, static analyzers and linters to fix these problems and standardizing these is a worthwhile effort to reduce differences between different compilers and tools and to get to a bare minimum standard that everybody can agree on. The problem is that most projects won't adopt these until the 2030s or 2040s and then they will only create a bare minimum bar of safety and convenience when new projects could just use Rust and get a very well thought out safety model and other benefits (no inheritance, const-by-default, etc) at little extra cost.

The type system and metaprogramming capablities of C++ are really nice (when compared to Rust), but at this point the language is only relevant for the existing (thriving) codebases that use it and for historic reasons, but no sane person would choose it for an new project anymore, which makes me sad. I don't see how C++ can reinvent itself and stay relevant without a radical break that takes the last 20 years of language development into account. Also, finally put some coroutine compatible event loop in the standard library FFS, it's 2024.

The C++ implementation is well-maintained and heavily used by its own maintainers (e.g. me). Other implementations are maintained to varying degrees, since each implementation has a different maintainer. Agreed the C# implementation isn't maintained.

> You will be better served by gRPC

Well, this really depends, considering that Cap'n Proto's RPC system is quite different and far more expressive than gRPC.

At this point ConHost.exe is open source [0] so it is maybe not a stretch to expect Microsoft to open source CMD.EXE at some point.

I'd be interested in being proved wrong on that, but I'm also happy enough with PowerShell these days I'm not in a hurry to return to CMD.EXE.

Thanks for that. It should be noted that these two cases you provided and the third case that split up AT&T are all not true regulations but were either consent agreements which is a court facilitated settlement or fully out of court settlements. I was only aware of the last case that split up AT&T so I thought GGP was referring to a real regulation that was later removed which I had never heard of.

Absolutely. I'm not going to pretend programming is a superhuman capability (it's increasingly unremarkable), but building large interactive and automated systems which run entire businesses must be similarly impressive on some level. I know my work is a bit like lego at times, but I also build bespoke, interesting, even challenging systems.

Maybe some day when developers almost exclusively use AI to do what I do now, they'll look back at my work and think "Man, that's impressive. I tried writing [some application] for a couple years using nothing but Rust, but it turned out awful. It's insane what these people did with a keyboard and a programming language".

Whether software blows up or not if an ID is "bad" depends on how it's written. Writing a token to a database without cleaning it up could lead to a security hole that has nothing to do with memory exploitation. I worry the fixation on memory is creating tunnel vision.

A note on the ECS: This is largely due to poor understanding on my part, but I moved my computational chemistry (egui-based) GUI program (Visualizes various wave function properties) from Bevy to WGPU directly, because the ECS was difficult to grok and debug. It felt like more work to reinvent wheels regarding rendering than manipulate the ECS. I had it working in Bevy, but ported. Not a canonical use case for a game engine!

> There are so many things the company could do to regain geek-cred.

But why do geeks have to destroy everything for everyone else, just for the benefit of their hobbies? Isn't Linux and Android enough and everything else hardware wise and software wise that isn't Apple? Apple devices work great for people who want to get stuff done in the real world and are willing to pay developers for great software. Why does that annoy geeks? Not everybody is interested in tech, they want something that works and get on with their day.

Just because geeks understand computers doesn't give them the right to dictate how other people should use their devices. Just like car modders shouldn't have a say on how normal people use their cars.
That’s pretty tough to argue by any measurement I can think of.
There's a different level of association though. It is nearly impossible to see if Kickstarter project will flop or not and if you will see your money back ever.

No I completely agree, fixing memory safety is not the only thing that needs doing, far from it. I agree with the White House report in particular, which spends time talking about the responsibilities of C suite execs in ensuring their software is vulnerability free. That's good, actionable advice.

I called out those two reports because for the first time in forever, there's actual impetus to move away from C and C++. That challenges the standards committee's usual stance that the status quo is acceptable. That's why we see Herb Sutter actually engaging with the issue of memory safety here. Compare that with Bjarne Stroustrup's earlier glib dismissal of these concerns, where his talk started with "The Case Against Switching Languages". Kinda shows where his priorities lie.

Yes, plants grows massively faster with higher CO2, plants has been CO2 starved for millions of years now but add it in labs and you can see plants growing more than 100% faster.

Probably the reason we see less mineral density in crops today, CO2 levels has risen so they grow faster but mineral supply is the same. So probably not very beneficial, we aren't lacking in plant calories as is.
