Awesome start. Looks very promising. I really like separation of states like hover, focus etc. Makes the code really easy to understand and debug.
Rewind to where you lost track. Several times if necessary.
A filesystem is an abstraction built on a block device. A block device just gives you a massive array of bytes and lets you read/write from them in blocks (e.g. write these 300 bytes at position 273041).

A block device itself is an abstraction built on real hardware. "Write these 300 bytes" really means something like "move needle on platter 2 to position 6... etc"

S3 is just a different abstraction that is also built on raw storage somehow. It's a strictly flat key-object store. That's it. I don't know why people have a problem with this. If you need "filesystem stuff" then implement it in your app, or use a filesystem. You only need to append? Use a database to keep track of the chain of appends and store the chunks in S3. Doesn't work for you? Use something else. Need to "copy"? Make a new reference to the same object in your db. Doesn't work for you? Use something else.

S3 works for a lot of people. Stop trying to make it something else.

And stop trying to change the meaning of super well-established names in your field. A filesystem is described in text books everywhere. S3 is not a filesystem and never claimed to be one.

Oh and please study a bit of operating system design. Just a little bit. It really helps and is great fun too.

Can’t stress enough how grateful I am to Colin Scott for doing the work and open sourcing the calculations for the latencies over time.
Are you referring to Trump's rhetoric?

I think that would "only" affect the broader foreign policy.

My take is that arms trade is a good business (my assumption) and unprincipled foreign policy could see more indiscriminate trading taking place. I.e. the opposite effect.
If you consider that watt hours is just a convenience unit for (3600) joules, then “1 gigawatt hour each day” correctly should be “3600 GJ/day” which works.
This seems to be based entirely on 15 days' worth of data from the first month of the war. That seems insufficient to me, for such a confident claim.

… according to a hyper-partisan source with a vested interest in deflating death counts, and based on assumptions pulled from even more hyper-partisan sources.

The article raises some interesting points, and of course there’s lots of reason to not trust unverified data from the Gaza MoH (also a hyper-partisan source with a vested interest in inflating death counts), but it’s hard not to see a Koolaid-drinker dismissing someone else’s Koolaid consumption habits.

The real number of (from the Israeli perspective justified) Palestinian injuries and deaths in Gaza is both non-zero and significantly disproportional to the number of (from the Palestinian perspective justified) Israeli injuries and deaths on Oct 7th… whatever the true number is, it’s an atrocity Ouroboros that only ends when people put down their weapons and start agreeing the costs are too high.
Which is a reasonable metric.
That isn't even everything. Nowadays Xilinx FPGAs come with "AI engine tiles". Some FPGAs come with 400 tiles. Each of those tiles is a C programmable processor running with a local scratchpad memory. So an FPGA is probably the most heterogenous type of chip ever invented.

> So at some point most war machinery will be automated and not carry humans inside, I think this is easy to accept. A little bit harder to accept, but what would be really cool is to just realise that if there's no humans, and the whole thing is automated, why not just simulate it?

War is effectively just an escalation of using force to impose one's will over another. You don't need a war if you're China and trying to get your shipping passage rights through Suez or Panama. You'd need a war it you're Russia trying to obtain land illegally from your neighbors.
As I understand it, the term is not racist [1], though of course many words can be used in a racist way... In context it is an hypothesis like any other, taking into account that modern Europeans are a totally difference population from the people who made those Venus.

If you can't meet DEI without compromising on merit, your country must have serious fundamental problems at every stage of your education system.

And even that's if you need a significant fraction of your nation's elites — given observed problems such as "failing to install bolts correctly" and "management deliberately ignoring raised safety concerns" and "there's no automatic cut off timer for something which will damage the aircraft if left on for more than 5 minutes" don't even need elites, if you really believe what you wrote, you need to campaign for much better fundamental education starting decades ago. Boeing doesn't hire a significant fraction of the USA, so this must, if you were right, be basically endemic across your nation.
I don't know what the detour about sanitizing with UV LEDs was about, especially calling them "blue LEDs". UV leds most certainly exist, and not just the cheap barely-past-blue violet ones. I remember designing a product prototype using some, which I think were 320nm or 340nm, around the time that blue LEDs were the hot new thing. IIRC they were like $10 ea in small quantities, while blue LEDs were maybe $1 ?
I'm not so sure.

I believe that by applying ANF, you're baking in either CBN or CBV at the time of writing the compiler.

If I've read it right, the author is suggesting that CBPV evaluates (ordinary) values before passing them, but does not evaluate functions (even though they are also values!) before passing them.

If you think that most people should live terrible lives just to have low rates of inflation, you just failed economics.

Brings up memories…
This was same with my father, he stopped drinking later but when I was a teenager and stuck somewhere after midnight I would call home and he would say “sure buddy” and come pick me up. On the way back his eyes were almost closed and sometimes we would joke about how the car knows about the roads and can go way back home itself. He is too old now and actually has a 12 meter boat which can’t dock himself alone.
It's not the money, it's the control you relinquish in the process. The potential costs of the risks involved are much, much greater than $10/month.

LLMs at least the most common ones can talk but they don't do things.

But even if they could. Humans can do it too, even your pet does jaw-dropping things. So far we never said that it's a problem in these cases.

So for me, such statements mostly communicate some sort of fear or skepticism. And I'm not saying that we shouldn't investigate why LLMs can do it. We should rather call it a research problem.

The 737 MAX, stock trading senators, and bribe taking justices are all the same thing for the same reason.

Power is doing something and then saying "what are you going to do about it?"

The supreme court takes bribes and says "what are you going to do about it?" They clearly have the power to take bribes. Nobody appears to be able to do anything about it.

Congresspeople trade stocks of companies they regulate in a gross conflict of interest, then defend their ability to be corrupt as a right. "What are you going to do about it?" Congress clearly has the power to be openly corrupt without consequences.

The 2008 crisis was wall street telling the government that they have many answers to that question. "Too big to fail" was born to capture the idea that there is an entity so powerful there are no reasonable answers to them asking "what are you going to do about it?"

Boeing is too big to fail. Boeing knows that there is no one with the will or fortitude to do anything about putting profit over safety. Investigations to make it look like you're doing something, sure. Canning a few low level employees that you can pin blame on, no problem. Sacrifice a contractor? That's what they're there for. But to hold a CEO or shareholders responsible for gross mismanagement in any kind of meaningful way, threatening all other American oligarchs and hordes of people rich enough to say "what are you going to do about it?" without answer?

Admiral Rickover, the father of the nuclear navy, is the past's best answer to Boeing. He deeply understood the forces at play. He had this to say to congress:

Political and economic power is increasingly being concentrated among a few
large corporations and their officers - power they can apply against society,
government and individuals. Through their control of vast resources, these
large corporations have become, in effect, another branch of government. They
often exercise the power of government, but without the checks and balances
inherent in our democratic system.

Americans need to start thinking about how to answer someone clearly more powerful saying "what are you going to do about it?" Because every time we say "nothing" those people get that much more powerful.
I assumed a level of irony here, from fingerprint.com. It’s like if a website popped up popularising loopholes to get around tax burdens as an attempt to disgust the world into closing those loopholes.

Even if that’s wishful thinking, there’s still immense virtue in publishing this research and getting it out in the open. If an article gets published explaining how a particular brand of green backpack helps with shoplifting do we worry that everyone’s going to shoplift more? I’d err more on the side of knowing shops are more likely to catch on to the tactic.
"Since these are realistic, to me it means that the artists had an actual model if front of them"

Only when you need to paint or sculpt very fine details, one needs a model to sit still for hours. To model the basic shape like the Venus, it would be enough to sit in a corner and watch other women, or one women in particular.

They're not filesystems though, they're object storage or key/value storage if you will. It's intended to store the log files for long term once they're full.

You can rename / move a file, but it involves copying and deleting the original; I don't understand why they don't have a shortcut for that, but it probably makes sense that the user of the service is aware of the process instead of hiding it.

I'm not sure about the 5GB limit, it's probably documented somewhere as to why that is; possibly, like tweets, having an upper limit helps them optimize things. Anyway there too there's tools, you can do multipart somethings and there's this official blogpost on the subject: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/storage/copying-objects-greater...

Interesting to note maybe in the context of the post; copy, rename, moving large files, all that could be abstracted away, but that would hide the underlying logic - which might lead to inefficient usage of the service - and worse, make users think it's just a filesystem and use it accordingly, but it's not intended or designed for that use case.

The official 1BRC was Java-only, so no using any architecture-specific SIMD at all; the test system did have AVX2 though, and that's what most non-competing native solutions (including mine) targeted.

Completely forgot about pmuludq, that works too for SSE2. But a 32-bit result is insufficient for the magic number method, needs to be at least 36-bit. I originally used vpmaddubsw+vpmaddwd, but switched to vpmuldq for the reduced register pressure, and I was already only parsing 4 numbers in ymm registers so the 64-bit result didn't affect me (after parsing 4 temperatures I immediately did the respective hashmap stuff for each).
I know people who work in the rehabilitation and related justice systems and I figure there is no way they can be hopeful about the world. It is just sad.

They literally work with what is wrong with our society. The author of the article writes himself there is little joy in his work. I think taking a moment to understand their frustrations might give insight into what we can’t do as a society, like mass incarceration, and the consequences thereof.
Their frustrations should be understood and read so we know the price of our rights and even sometimes calibrate our responses or find new solutions.
As an engineer I get pissed off if a colleague who made a huge blunder tries to pass it as a no biggie that unluckily got its way into production. I can’t imagine working with the bottom of the bottom of our society.

The liberal politics is to have enough taxes to cover the expenses. If you have deficit, you either raise taxes or lower expenses (Milei option, it seems).

It doesn't boil down to "lower taxes whatever it takes" if you then have massive deficits. That's a wrong policy usually taken by Republicans in the US.
Startups are often all about disrupting an industry by lowering the cost of a product. If you can lower it to zero that demonstrates the incumbent businesses are obviously not providing a valuable service that's worth paying for.
I'm a professional composer and amateur programmer. I've been trying to write a Quine in Velato, but seems impossible to me. Source code in Velato are MIDI files, but output is plain text. In order to create a Quine you must design a MIDI that outputs text pseudo code (in Guido, Lilypond, etc. notation) which, when converted back to MIDI will yield the original Midi file. However every print char command in Velato requires at least 8 notes (in MIDI). So there's not a 1 to 1 correspondence like in other programming languages Quines. I'm no computer scientist here but this seems impossible to me.
To me, if it detects bugs (and fixing those makes the others reachable), that seems like a pretty acceptable iterative step

It's less academically pure, but as an engineer who wants to fix bugs it seems ok

That is a nice response! Somewhere along your answer, you wrote a line
> "i had a personal problem, so I made this solution and made it useful for other people"

This was the original motive of my original question. How to validate if someone's personal problems are only their own or there are people who need share it?

> you've been doing some practical stuff

Yes, but these are toy problems that only work on small scale. Currently, anything requires designing a large systems, which is seemed rather difficult. Maybe it's just an excuse to be lazy. Weirdly the projects blow-up with their scope after one/two day and just doesn't give that satisfaction.

> a fast and enduring solution to the current conflict in the Holy Land could be the formal establishment of a city-state that reflects and represents what the people of Gaza want.

Gaza is just a region of Palestine. Palestine is an occupied territory. A fast and enduring solution to the conflict is that Israel ceases its military and civilian occupation of Palestine and withdraws to its internationally recognized borders: those of pre-1967. Period.

Or until the panels degrade too much or break down, and you have to buy new ones as you cannot make them. So it is still a dependency, but less strong.

There's nothing magical behind "long running companies". I can name a few that are trash, and they only keep going because they have politicians in their pocket. If a company depends on the government creating hyperinflation or subsidizing it for its survival, that's not a good sign.

I think the difference between copying 1:1 game and re-creating the game is what can be the discriminator. If you get a game, raw data, and copy bit per bit you're pirating, while if someone re-creates a whole game fro scratch it's a different story.

I would argue that re-creating from scratch is more legal than a straight copy of the original data.

Nobody made that argument. You did and argued against it.

You buy and sell cryptocurrency so you can use the currency you started with. The added two steps of buying and selling crypto are immaterial to buying what you want. You merely invested and divested in a speculative asset, you didn't use it as currency.

You forgot one thing: Boeing is not only under FAA and US scrutiny, all their processes and planes are certified by EASA, and others, as well. The B737 Max crashes alread harmed the trust between EASA and FAA, if nothing happens now, EASA might very well take seperate action. I have a hunch Boeing doesn't want that.

Edit: There is also a couple of high ranking people that are "holders" of those certifications, Design Organisation Approval and Production Organisation Approval in EASA parlance. Forgot the exactvtitle of those people, but usually they aee at least VP level, sometimes even C-level and always a seperate one from Quality. They are vetted by the national authorities and sign to confirm their obligation, incl. legal, to adhere to the stabdards and do everything to meet those. In Europe, negligence of this can lead to criminal prosecution and jail time. No idea how this is done under FAA regulations. Boeing peopably doesn't fall under EASA jurisdiction in that regard so, having not operations in Europe.
