Reasonable sketch. This is missing the caller/called save distinction and makes the usual error of assigning a subset of the input registers to output.

It's optimistic about debuggers understanding non-C-like calling conventions which I'd expect to be an abject failure, regardless of what dwarf might be able to encode.

Changing ABI with optimization setting interacts really badly with separate compilation.

Shuffling arguments around in bin packing fashion does work but introduces a lot of complexity in the compiler, not sure it's worth it relative to left to right first fit. It also makes it difficult for the developer to predict where arguments will end up.

The general plan of having different calling conventions for addresses that escape than for those that don't is sound. Peeling off a prologue that does the impedance matching works well.

Rust probably should be willing to have a different calling convention to C, though I'm not sure it should be a hardcoded one that every function uses. Seems an obvious thing to embed in the type system to me and allowing developer control over calling convention removes one of the performance advantages of assembly.
So, you think you've got dbt test bloat?
I did this write up of a recent dbt meetup talk by an analytics engineer from Delivery Hero. They had dbt tests getting out of control triggering hundreds of alerts. Their solution is a mix of categorizing critical models, weighting alerts, and formalizing the response.

The video is here if you want to watch that directly, instead:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nk_K8mW-N9A

The whole subject of dbt tests, bloat or rot, is an interesting one. Here's a few stats from a couple of public facing dbt project:

- Mattermost: 194 models / 318 tests
- Cal-ITP (California Integrated Travel Project): 361 models / 941 tests

What's the model/test ratio in your dbt project? How do you handle alerts?
I apologise if this comes across as insulting, but this is a bit silly.

My oven/hob is large enough to cook a roast dinner because I do it enough times that it's useful to me.

Most days I use one or two pots to cook basic meals.

It's not "anxiety" that drives me to have a full size oven, it's a superior product for me that allows me to cook meals that I want to cook.
> Each station was originally slated to be equipped with eight 750kW chargers for Tesla Semis, and four chargers open to other electric trucks.

No. This is not the way to do infrastructure, especially not when you want public money for it.

All chargers must be open to all brands of truck.

It's not hard to do. There's a megawatt charging standard to follow:

If you’re using Git, I’d strongly recommend the hash of the current tree (not the commit). That way your tests are deterministic based on the contents of your tree. For example, if you add a commit and then revert, you’ll end up with the same test seed as if you hadn’t committed.
A few decades too late :D.

> If HR/PR lied about defacing property it would open them up to a defamation lawsuit. The entire purpose of HR is to protect the company from lawsuits which is why they don't usually make up fake reasons for firing people. They just won't give specifics instead of defaming a person publicly.

"Defacing property" doesn't have as strict a definition as you think it does, as an example: https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/morrisonco/latest/morr... <- Writing on a whiteboard wall would qualify under that definition even if it's not what you think it is.

The fact that it comes from Google directly should make you more suspicious not less.
But they aren't even vaguely the same thing.

Apprentice plumbers (1) get paid and (2) typically spend years as an apprentice, not weeks or months. This is for a career averaging $60-80k.

Contrast that with tech bootcamps that often approximate the cost of computer science degrees and promise (or intimate) that students will jump into six figure salaries.

It's not the same at all.
An in-between is Super Smash Bros Melee, where a lot of tournament-legal ingame tactics rely on bugs. But only ones you can exploit manually with a regular controller, not actual hacking, and also one exploit called Wobbling got banned in 2019 (note that this is a 2001 game).

Given that the current Rust compiler does aggressive inlining and then optimizes, is this worth the trouble? If the function being called is tiny, it should be inlined. If it's big, you're probably going to spend some time in it and the call overhead is minor.

If you are at all familiar with The Trades, you know that they have the apprenticeship system, which is a hell of a lot more intense than any bootcamp.

> until your startup reaches 700M+ customers, when the free ride ends

No it doesn’t. The licence terms talk about that those who on the release date of llama3 had 700M+ customers need an extra licence to use it. It doesn’t say that you loose access to it if in the future you gain that many users.
Can you be more clear about what you're hinting at here? Is it that the companies listed (SiriusXM, Boeing, Home Depot, VMWare, Draft Kings) don't have money to waste anymore because they're not doing well financially?
My first manager was a woman and I was the only male in the IT department where I was interning. I think it was mostly due to typing being dominated by women, and most of the workforce in that department was data entry.
So they basically killed the org because it doesn't earn enough for their salaries anymore?
>Apprentice plumbers (1) get paid and (2) typically spend years as an apprentice, not weeks or months. This is for a career averaging $60-80k.

Also important to note that if you get paid (a proper wage) while apprenticing, you're quite lucky already.

There are plenty of occupations with apprenticeships where you do not get paid until you've got your foot firmly in the hallway past the door. For example, anything related to becoming a chef: You're going to start by washing dishes for months if not years and no you will not get paid beyond maybe minimum wage.

I think it’s debatable whether it’s wise to have any kind of online presence what with the NSA taking over everything from your router to your watch to your doctor’s office and smart toilet.

I don’t work in the tech field but what would these systems look like? Basically they ingest intelligence like phone calls and logs and whatever else they get and it spits out a list of people with associated last known addresses and estimated civilian casualties and then lists supporting evidence?

Is this just ML that’s been worked on for years or is this some GPT based advancements? Can their system analyze voice, photos etc and it just predicts like a GPT?

Ps I’m not pro or anti anybody. I have no dog in this fight and I’m not versed enough to make a judgement. My heart goes to everyone affected. What a disaster and a tragedy war is.
Software development is a trade. Programming is a skill that can be useful in a wide range of jobs.

I wouldn't be surprised if actual software developers turned out to be a minority among the people who write code as part of their jobs.
The problem is, the optimal hacks usually don't make the game fun. It becomes a war of attrition.
The interesting part as far as the salaries they are not obscene. Many of the people who started learning at women who code could easily be making more than the CEO by now.
This article makes Richard Feynman seem like a thieving asshole. Like Edison to Tesla.
I am not pretending that it's a strange thing to do, or that people don't do it. My point is that people don't do it every day. That's a fact.

People sometimes drive a 400 mile trip for Thanksgiving or Christmas. Fact.

EV being a bad choice because the 2 trips a year that someone makes are longer than it's range: opinion and not fact.

First, that's trading the convenience and cost saving associated with the thing you do 98% of the time, with a minor inconvenience for the 2% case.

Second, a 400 mile trip will easily take 6 hours of straight driving. At some point you're going to make a pit stop, even if it's to refill on gas since 400 miles is pushing it for a gas car. So the real question is how much longer is that one stop you make (and I highly doubt it will be just one)?

Model 3s will charge to full in 25-30 minutes at a supercharger. So the inconvenience is 30 minutes minus however long your break would have anyway. Infrastructure on highways exists, here's just tesla's superchargers [0], and here's all the level 3 chargers [1].

So no, the range anxiety is not based on facts.

>> I had a few years of financial struggle as a high schooler and student, to the point where I was constantly hungry and very skinny

Why didn't you just steal food?

That's what I did when I was poor. There's a store the size of a city block a 5 minute walk away from me, there are tons and tons of food stacked up in that store, any type of food you could want, and I'm going to go bed hungry? That didn't really make sense to me. I never went to bed hungry.

I respect property rights now, of course, because my belly is full.
While I agree in the sense that what you say improves human race survival vs whatever-else comes.

But evolutionary pressure also occurs within the species and for the human race $$$ has largely influenced demonstration of procreational traits.

Intelligence doesn't matter if you are smart but don't have any opportunities.
The other social cues, fashion, appearance, physical fitness, health, being "funny". Are all a lot easier if you have $$$.

So many conversations around modern population fertility rates have a $ component in them.

Maybe being intelligent matters more than simple strength and coordination used to. But what kind of intelligence?

Maybe being a sociopath such that you can bully your way to CEO - or to a high enough level you meet some "darwinian fitness" threshold.

But in and of itself, being able to engineer the feat of walking on the moon didn't make all the nasa employees inherently more desirable to partners to procreate. Those employees maybe had attributes that matched with desirable procreation partners and maybe that feat brought $$$ too - but the engineering smarts alone isn't it.
> The Tencent one is fairly close to the book.

Not really? It both overexplains simple concepts (e.g. the billiard table scene) and underexplains important concepts.

The Netflix show just has awful writing, and only cares about visuals. My favorite example of bad writing is the very last scene, where three characters are having a conversation, then one of them suddenly gets up and says "let me show you something". So they drive for (seemingly) hours, apparently in perfect silence, only to get out of the car, look over a field, and deliver a handful of pithy lines, followed immediately by "okay let's go back". (For book readers: this is the "bugs vs. humans speech").

Anyway, they're both ephemeral garbage. I guess 3BP will be like Dune, where it takes decades for a decent adaptation to show up.

There is not some guy coordinating all our cells to grow and work in lockstep. It's actually just a few very simple algorithms (e.g., cells differentiation is triggered by strength of a signal, a la HOX genes) that have been very slowly refined over millions of generations of evolution.

Just because the output of a system looks complicated does not mean that the input into a system is complicated.

It is a stretch to call it just a PC built from COTS hardware. The NV2A GPU was a modified version on the NV20 and included the Northbridge. The MCPX Southbridge was custom. The DVD was customized for anti-piracy. The CPU is a (slightly) customized PIII. If it was all COTS, the XBox XEmu emulator would be further along than it is now.

Not necessarily because the fuzzer has visibility into the execution pathways triggered, so it can "feel" its way through the maze.

For example, say any certificate that starts with 0x00 is invalid (and there's an up-front test and return). Once the fuzzer has tried 0x00 and concluded that the pathway is a dead end, it won't try again, even though there are squillions of data blocks beginning 0x00.

It's not a highly efficient way to generate a valid certificate (especially when you have to navigate the network code as well), but it's also not just rolling 'n' 256-sided dice until the end of the universe.

I am pretty convinced by the scientific consensus that LDL levels (even by themselves) are strongly predictive of Atherogenesis and overall CVD risk.

Honestly, it is hubris to start the anthropocene in just the last human lifetime. Our species has been making an impact that will be evident in the geological record for longer than that.

e.g. Geologists of some far-off future are going to notice that species that were isolated to one continent suddenly started popping up everywhere in the fossil record a few hundred years ago. Sea travel has united the continents in way they haven't been united since Pangea.

A few hundred years will be indistinguishable from a single human lifetime to those future geologists. To us however, it's an important distinction.

We're agreeing fwiw. Trades treated like trades are a value-add all around, but they take time, and they aren't necessarily sexy.

The teach people to code movement, for whatever reason, portrays itself as being something everyone can and should "break into" in 10 weeks.

edit: Just realized the conflation between "get hired as a software developer for six-figures" vs literally "make learning how to code accessible for all". The latter makes way more honest sense.
"Programming" as a career is in an interesting position right now. Due to demand and the job itself, you can make a lot of money, work remotely, in a medium-low stress job, without interacting with the public, solving puzzles. That's the dream right? It really doesn't get any better than that for most people. The problem is that there are two types of people: those that enjoy coding, and those that don't. The people that enjoy coding are living the dream. I know I am. I mean I have it fucking good. All the benefits above, to the max.

The people that don't enjoy coding can still force themselves to do it... But they will find it lack luster. They are doing something they don't like, aren't too good at, for less money, at a job that took forever to find, etc etc. They won't have the same experience.

There are enough people that enjoy coding to tell everyone else "yeah this fucking rocks", and that certainly draws people in, but a lot of people will be disappointed with it.
