Owning a home is a goal because the alternative is lifetime wage slavery to fund a landlord’s lavish lifestyle.

Yeah, it's all good. Rustup will also distribute the source:

~> rustup component list | rg src
rust-src (installed)

But this is so that that workflow works well, not because the compiler actually uses it during the build.

> the compiler is smart enough to not be over-compiling unused symbols.

This is true even without the source, mind you, but the devil is just in the details. Stuff like the panic and/or formatting machinery is known to creep in even if you don't think you're using it, because some edge case might. This only truly matters for embedded and similar, but it's still a thing.

It is the kind of low hanging optimization that I used to think was greatly oversold. And, to be fair, for many programs I would still wager it probably is. If you are chasing a ton of pointers, though, it is definitely worth considering how many more you can hold in memory with smaller sizes.

I think I remember a discussion a while back lamenting that we just tacitly accepted wide pointers. If anyone has a link going over that, I'd be delighted to read it again. I'm 90% sure I did not understand it when I first saw it. :D

Why not? The secular French Revolutionary government abolished slavery in 1794; the abolition of abortion represents essentially the same scientific, non-theistic recognition of human beings, no matter their ethnicity or stage of development.

Really, they are independent axes: a religion can preach that some kinds of human being should be enslaved and/or killed; a religion can preach that no human beings should be enslaved and/or killed; an atheist can support enslavement and/or homicide of some human beings; and an atheist can oppose enslavement and/or homicide of some or all human beings. As a general rule, the vast majority of atheists think that it should be illegal to kill a 5-year-old; I believe that the vast majority think that it should be illegal to kill a 5-minute-old; it wouldn’t surprise me if a fair number think that it should be illegal to kill a negative-five-minute-old.

One important thing is that Rust is an expressive language that's pleasant to use, unlike Go :) that would explain why many side projects that could be in Go are actually in Rust even if they could have been done efficiently in Go too.
"Secondly, why do people think there is some sort of town square?"

Cities and towns in the US were once often built around town squares. Many cities have open public areas like this in Europe and South America where people can congregate. Plaza de Mayo in Buenos Aires comes to mind. Cities in the US haven't been designed around a central town square in a long time, but the term has stuck colloquially.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plaza_de_Mayo

Below is a link to William Penn's original plan for Philadelphia, where the city would have a five town squares, with one in the center of each of four quadrants, and the largest in the city center.

I think you're having a different "argument". My original post is about rejecting the false dichotomy that automating away manual jobs is inherently good and automating away knowledge jobs is inherently bad. But you chimed in to make the case that knowledge jobs aren't at risk of automation. I don't agree with that latter point, even if it's digression from the original one. Because I disagree with it, I was asking you to elaborate on what you'd suggest for those knowledge workers who eventually get displaced? To use a glib example, do we just tell every lawyer "learn how to plumb"?

Something of this story reminds me of the famous Ozymandias poem. In a very real sense we are surrounded by the artifacts of a kingdom that no longer exists.

I think it is easy to feel the shock of massive and violent cultural revolutions like the ones that took place in some communist countries. It is another thing to watch the slow death of our own cultural heritage. Nothing is being forcefully taken from us and so it is hard to register that there is any loss happening at all.

What I can say personally, is I have no desire whatsoever to join an elks club or odd fellows or anything of that sort. I find it hard to imagine any kind of institution that could replace the multitude of activities that constitutes a church.
I bought Vision Pro and used it as is for three weeks, then put it away for a couple weeks because of degree of difficulty for me, definitely NOT a techie.

On a whim I went to the optometrist, got examined and a prescription for glasses (I use over-the-counter 1.25x readers from CVS), then uploaded the Rx to Zeiss using their iPhone app, and ponied up $149 for their optical inserts.

Since the inserts arrived and I put them in, my experience overall with VP has been better: still way too difficult and confusing, but movies and TV shows, which were the only redeeming factors in my initial three weeks of use, seem really, really crisp and vivid, more so than initially.

Take these observations with a grain of salt, after all, it's a series of one 75-year-old retired neurosurgical anesthesiologist's experiences.

This is a known problem in generative workflows for AI vids, but solvable.

I think these two things are in conflict. Drastic action on the climate will almost certainly make most people's lives harder (at least in the short term) and will probably be tougher on the poor than the rich - for examples food price increases due to higher energy costs. Once you get down to the nuts and bolts of the changes needed, it's a tough sell to those already struggling.
Right-clicking on that page and selecting "inspect" (or running the web session through a transparent proxy and inspecting the traffic in transit) seems to allow me to pull out individual pages of the book through the API calls used by the web reader. If they DRM'd the individual images it wouldn't be much more challenging. Every person will draw the line in a different place, and that is why the legal system exists.

Again, if you're allowing someone to view something, there is always a way to copy it. DRM and the legal frameworks around it (which we both seem to agree that IA has applied here) are the best available deterrent to copying.

The only way to be sure something will never be copied against your will is to never distribute it to anyone.

> why are we not conscious while asleep?

I think this question confuses two different usages of the term "conscious". In the sense of consciousness as in self-awareness, we are such when we're asleep as much as when we're awake.

The larger issue in terms of this article is that we don't have a rigorous definition of what "consciousness" actually is or how to test for it. All I can know with certainty is that I am conscious, everything else is speculation. In that sense, "everything may be conscious" is a correct statement because of the "may be" part. We can't say for certain one way or the other.

Depends on the "we" you're talking about, I guess.

In the DC/MD/VA area, almost all the bridges I can name are less than 100 years old. Woodrow Wilson, American Legion, Chesapeake Bay Bridge, Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, Key Bridge, Key Bridge, Nice Bridge, Memorial Bridge, Chain Bridge, 14th street bridges... Some of those were even built after 2000! Also the New River Gorge Bridge in WV is pretty famous and not even 50.

Well, actually, the Key Bridge (in DC) apparently turned 100 years old last year. And I guess the Long Bridge (though not a road bridge) is also over 100...
I asked about mine, and they said it was fine for the 1.5-tesla machine but they probably would have had me remove it for the 3-tesla one. I did feel it pulsing, but not noticebly warmer.
"Arena" is a heavily overloaded term. Usually arenas have more logic than a mere bump allocator though. Sometimes "arena" means "thread-local cache", so objects can be free'd to a different arena than they came from, etc. Arenas might be a single finite-size underlying allocation or contain multiple of those dynamically. Arenas might be able to answer the question "did this arena allocate this pointer originally"? Arenas might be user-facing objects or internal implementation details only.
I got my third MRI after having a titanium plate put in my neck, and wow was I more nervous that time than the earlier two times. I made the tech let me test the panic button to prove it worked. Of course there was no problem with the MRI.
The legal obligation (child support) in this case may be intended for Bob Jr., but it is paid to Alice with an extremely weak enforcement mechanism to ensure it benefits Bob Jr. at all.

Realistically, it tends to be responsible people who would have paid child support anyway who pay it, but often end up overpaying because money is fungible and it doesn’t take 15% of a good earner’s income to support a child. The irresponsible fathers who don’t care end up not paying regardless of court orders. Obviously most Alices are not blowing the money on nothing but it’s reasonable to question whether the current system is very useful for its intended purposes compared to other systems and what the second order effects are. There are probably better ways to ensure Bob Jr. is supported. For example, maybe in custody proceedings we should more highly weight financial ability to support the child when awarding custody.

I understand why the system in the article exists - you can’t force people to pay (they can stop working or work under the table or…), so you need some sort of threat as an additional deterrent. I doubt it increases collections much, though.
yeah yeah yeah this is the standard Peter Zeihan thesis that the cool kids on Youtube and Geopolitics forums love to tout. What they fail to acknowledge is that the Chinese are extremely proud and nationalistic and if you look at any industry you can think of from nuclear to semiconductor to even animation they are determined to out compete the US and they continue to post impressive gains in such a small amount of time. Their work ethic is just astounding. Not even Hollywood or Starbucks is safe. I wonder what the Chinese McDonalds will be?

Maybe the steam will run out in 20 years due to demographics and they sink to the bottom of the ocean. Maybe Xi Jinping really did mess up taking over as supreme leader and we will see the consequences play out in the next 20 years. However, those 20 years will still be absolute hell for the US and their allies (lets be honest the US is the only real player). They may very well drag the US down to the bottom of the ocean with them by outclassing them at literally everything. The US is not some perfectly run paradise and it has severe issues that it did not have in the last challenge to its supremacy. We will see how things turn out.

Saturn Emulation is definitely possible but the amount of complexity in the hardware means that it's much more resource intensive than its 32-bit contemporaries:

https://mednafen.github.io/documentation/ss.html#Section_int...

>Mednafen's Sega Saturn emulation is extremely CPU intensive. The minimum recommended CPU is a quad-core Intel Haswell-microarchitecture CPU with a base frequency of >= 3.3GHz and a turbo frequency of >= 3.7GHz(e.g. Xeon E3-1226 v3), but note that this recommendation does not apply to any unofficial ports or forks, which may have higher CPU requirements.

Those minimum specs are about the same as what's required to emulate a Wii via Dolphin, two generations ahead of the Saturn!
Shared purpose in some ways works better. It certainly can be fostered in the same ways that faith can. Sports works really well and "fringe" activities like birding bind people together really well. For example the solidarity among cyclists (the ones out and about in the countryside) here in Portugal is really strong. Pretty much everyone says hello and you can't stop on the side of the road or trail without everyone who passes asking if everything is ok.
But I believe no big ships use any kind of autopilot while near shore. they only use it in the middle of the ocean.
I am not sure about your assessment, I think in large all of the VMS clustering stuff really does exist in the Linux world nowadays but not so much at the operating system level.

And I think perhaps you are overselling also the level at which VMS supports some of these and the performance there-of. Shared memory clustering I don't think is really a thing on VMS actually, unless you mean application state sharing over shared files on disk (which can be cached).

A typical VMS clustered application might look something like this:

Applications runs as multiple separate processes distributed across cluster nodes that access shared disk and queues.

On shared disks you'll have shared persistence used by all the nodes of the applications.

The persistence can be in files managed with RMS (Record Management Services, think 80's sqlite)

The distributed lock manager handling locking at the record level (which can be actual records or text-lines in the file)

Said application might distribute work events around it through OS Queue's that are also shared across the cluster allowing for task distribution across a cluster.

And all of this is fronted by a terminal multiplexer that will round-robin incoming sessions (because most of these systems will be TUI kind of things) to a random node in the cluster.

All of the above are built-in OS services, it's the ultimate monolith :)

.... Now if you equate that to some typical enterprise system this quickly maps across to something like:

Fronted by a http proxy bouncing requests to pods.

Application distributed across pods on K8 Cluster.

Clustered SQL for persistence layer and record services.

Kafka/RabbitMQ for your queue's for event distribution.

All of those services will be significantly more feature rich, performant and if correctly deployed more resilient than a VMS cluster too.
Yes, that's true, but the style also changed so dramatically, not just means of production. e.g. machine production does not have to mean that overall building proportions became so weirdly unattractive as well.

But really, just because it was _cheap_ an _easy_ for a machine, therefore it meant it was _aspirational_, _desirable_ for a human. That is the core shift, it was primarily ideological (and we rationalized this new mindset _after_ it already reified itself).
> it's all in the tooling, of which Markdown is unrivaled.

The tooling for Emacs is unrivaled. Markdown is, honestly, pretty cool: it’s probably the best thing the John Gruber has ever done. I think that it’s arguable that Markdown will survive everyone now alive on Earth.

But I believe that Emacs will last longer still, because Emacs is not a text format but a powerful user-extensible environment. As long as general-purpose computers are legal, folks will use something recognisable as an Emacs.

Up in the UHF TV bands, huge transmitter power was required. The FCC allowed 5 megawatts.[1] Few stations actually used that much power, but 1 MW was not uncommon.
