FFTW will definitely query cpuid at runtime too, since it's piecing together kernels anyways it's not much more work for it to choose to ignore AVX, etc. If you use the [guru interface](https://www.fftw.org/fftw3_doc/Guru-vector-and-transform-siz...) to configure it to work with split arrays (and maybe use FFTW_MEASURE when planning) I think the benchmarks will be a lot more 1:1

Aren't those needs already served by private groupchats on Twitter/Facebook, et al.?
Even in the balance sheet mindset, a business is still just the efforts of a bunch of people. Without the people who made the business and keep it running, you don't have a business. Sometimes all or some of those people are replaceable, sometimes they're not. Any or all of those people can leave at anytime as well. So, it's important to remember that the value behind the balance sheet is because of the people. That seems to be one thing many CEOs, Private Equity firms, and sometimes managers forget, or simply take for granted -- it's not always something that can be ignored (and sometimes it is).
Plenty of money is being made by taking the short term route. Execs move factories to China and Mexico and they'll get a fat bonus while the workers will see their communities go into decline, and the government starts erecting trade barriers to protect what's left.
Spotify is still cheaper for two people with the Duo plan. Add the Jam functionality and shared playlists for social events (since about everyone has Spotify already). And then add stuff like a Linux desktop app with MPRIS command support and Spotify Connect for portable speakers.

At that point I notice the Spotify moat is actually quite substantial in my use case and switching to another service is pretty much out of the question.
Not that US institutions don't lie, but our bureaucracy and government oversight systems come with the benefit that many of the things we track and document can be verified. Other countries simply lie. The numbers you get are not a rough approximation of reality; they're simply part of whatever story that country wants to tell.

Crime rate is a statistic for which a majority of countries provide numbers that are completely dissociated from reality.

You can, of course, take the numbers seriously, as if the statistics are being published in good faith. Unless you have some sort of independent oversight, however, that isn't beholden to or biased by the country being assessed, then taking those numbers seriously is probably a silly thing to do.

The US gets lots of independent verification and validation of crime statistics. They're frequently analyzed at local, state, and federal level by journalists, students, activists, authors, and government officials. At every level an official number is published, it gets challenged, so there are incentives keeping the politicians and bureaucrats honest. They get slammed when they get caught lying, and they get caught lying because the public and the media keep track of things and demand accountability.

Some stuff, like total officer involved shootings, dog shootings by officials, abuses of power, and things of that nature, don't get publicly disclosed much of the time, so there are gaps in what we know and what officials are required to disclose.

The US isn't perfect, but you can get pretty good numbers that actually correlate with reality. Even other western countries don't always have trustworthy reporting and accounting for government actions. The best you'll ever get is a glowing narrative.
People may not want to fly Boeing but they still want to fly.

Even if all US airlines wanted to switch, it would take Airbus a few decades to deliver replacements, by which time the issue will be forgotten (unless they keep crashing and falling apart midair).

US airlines will probably not be allowed use chineese planes as replacements.

I’m not trying to minimise Boeing’s responsibility, just saying that assuming the company starts to turn things around, nothing that comes out of the trial will affect the future of Boeing the company much, but it might well be catastrophic for the top brass.
Right. I thought the parent post was talking about being challenged by government officials/police ("papers, please") on a regular basis - and not about private-sector use. A misunderstanding on my part.

Coming from floppy disks which were always a fridge (or file cabinet) magnet away from total destruction it made sense. I didn't know that anything after vinyl LPs were pressed so burned with a laser just sounded much more permanent than bit-flipped-by-magnet. Meaning, faster internet wouldn't have made me any more likely to question this stuff but made it easier if by chance I came across some advice to do so. Anyway it's 2024 and my dad still has floppies (working) and cable internet, but the world still turns 'round I guess.
Writer of this article here.

It was never meant to be a pot-shot, and I have nothing against lisp. I can tell why it reads that way, and we added that in because we wanted to illustrate why people should care.

As to your claim about us being wrong: I don't have an issue with being wrong, and maybe at the same time we are. At the same time, I think it is possible that there are misunderstandings that cause people to believe we aren't doing something new. Again, maybe we're not.

We're two 18 year olds, fresh out of high school. It's a research project, but we're not graduate students.

A lot of these comments are claiming it's not new because reader macros exist. From my understanding, our tokenization system is unique because it can all be done at runtime without backtracking or executing anything instantly, which is possible because cognition always makes use of the text read in, and never makes use of anything not yet read in, which means you don't have to backtrack. I mean, you could backtrack but it would be less elegant.

If I'm wrong about this then that's fine but then we still made something cool without even knowing it existed beforehand.
the first paragraph did not claim it was not a prison, it just claimed it was safe not because it was a prison but for other reasons.

The third paragraph claimed it was a prison but it did not say the safety came from it being a prison.

the third paragraph and first paragraph are not in conflict.

Is the only possibility that Google did a bad job communicating it, or is it possible that it's a terrible idea that will lead us to a dystopian future where anybody using non-closed/locked hardware can't use the web?

I strongly suspect it would (over time as every website adopts it) be like VPNs are now, except for every single Linux user. Maybe Google will release an official Linux distro for people like me, but they won't be able to allow us to have root or sudo on our boxes, otherwise they can't vouch for the machine. That pretty much defeats the whole point of running Linux.

Though, if you would feel much better if Apple were in charge of it, then I get the feeling you don't have a lot of sympathy for people like me. That's a reasonable and valid position, but it does sadden me greatly.
That is very kind of you. But my statement was meant to be more general. I just have no time to dive into all the inevitable configure and compile issues anymore and am hoping that my Linux distro will catch up some day.

Are you a CEO/CTO/CXO TIRED of putting out fires? Are you one of the serious few who sees the madness that literally everything has become about your company? About your own people that you once cared for? How there was once when your company ACTUALLY solved problems? Now it is just a mish-mash of documentation, to-do lists, meetings, and policies. AND (this is the most important one) you want something TO BE DONE about it? No, not to "help others" or for the "greater good", but to (1) help YOURself and (2) lead others by example.

Kind of off topic, but my pet parrot (a Mitred Conure) gets off-the-hook loud whenever I try to watch Hitchcock's The Birds. The movie has a lot of bird noises (and strangely enough an electronic music score thats not really audible as a score--it just makes the squawks denser) but I don't know if he's trying to engage or mimicking.
Nice read. The fact that it is possible to 3d print metal parts that withstand temperatures and pressures of a rocket engine is so exciting. How expensive is it?
>Why do systemd haters spend so much time just postulating about how awful they feel systemd is?

I personally do it because over months I was forced to develop services for it for work. It is just really bad software for many reasons.

Believe it or not before I did that work I actually was much in favor of systemd, I even used systemd boot and never saw any issue with the software.

>The people who like systemd don't do this. They just use the software

A tiny minority of systemd users actually uses it fully for what it is. Almost all users do exactly two things enable/disable and start/stop units.
Right, now that we have HAART. Before treatment was developed, it killed a majority of those infected.

The secondary infection thing is a technicality, the mechanism via which someone who has HIV is killed. But it’s not really a misnomer to say the disease is deadly.
Just noticed your comment now: Thanks so much for the explanation! However, my question was more about the blog post in particular, i.e. coroutines (async/await) vs. effect handlers: I still fail to see why coroutines are lexically scoped. async/await yield control back to the calling function which might or might not define an event loop or yield control to another function further up the stack. How is this different from handling effects or exceptions? Whose scope does "lexically scoped" refer to here?

EDIT: Ah, reading this comment[0],

> The more fundamental difference between effects and coroutines is that a `yield` in a coroutine always goes to the one unique resumer

maybe I thought too much of Python where async/await are implemented via generators and, unless I'm mistaken, there need not be a unique resumer/event loop.

> This is why I firmly argue (and pretend) that references are not pointers. "References are pointers" results in the belief that references will behave like C pointers and results in things like this article.

This is my usual mental model as well. My thinking is that if tomorrow a new Rust version came out that used some other magical implementation of references that didn't use pointers under the hood, my code should still be correct. Maybe converting between references and raw pointers would be less efficient, but the semantics of my code shouldn't change.
This would be difficult because mouse and window controls are different in X11 and Wayland.

Side note, but I see two YC-backed startups mentioning themselves in this thread:

Yarn - Make Videos Like The Best (W24) https://yarn.so
Kite - Product Videos Made Easy (S23) https://kite.video

It's sort of crazy YC is backing so many hundreds of companies that there's this level of overlap. I assume one pivoted into this?

Still, crazy to imagine all the YC companies competing with each-other these days. I've even seen YC-backed 'incumbents' being disrupted by new YC-backed startups.

Sounds to me like you're arguing for a CTF for Mac and Windows development as well!
I don’t know, it was presumably extremely stressful. Extremely stressful events or when a lot of people kill them themselves.

I don’t really have a strong opinion on this particular instance one way or another. It seems unlikely to me that even Boeing is like hiring hitman to whack people and make it look like suicide, and that seems much more unlikely than a guy who was about to commit suicide saying he wasn’t going to make it look that way.

But also, it is not impossible. People have undoubtedly killed for a lot less money than what this stuff is costing Boeing.

I know it’s not true in American prisons but generally not much crime occurs in prison. If Singapore is prison like then it seems that this would at least be a contributing factor to its lack of crime.

I do believe that many of the design ideas behind systemd are good and somewhat thought out. Besides a few bad designs decisions it could have been a good system, right now it isn't, it even fails at the most basic of software engineering.
Acorn was a curious company. It managed to get incredible amounts of work done, by assigning big projects to individuals instead of teams. My memory is not to be relied on at this lapse of time, but I seem to recall that in the final years there was a browser maintained by one guy, a port of Java by two, and an implementation of directX by another. Obviously all those projects were much smaller back then (around 98) but still, those devs were doing the work of what another company had a team to do. And in fact this does work, as communication overhead is reduced, but in many cases the increase in productivity loses strategically to the slower time to market.

I agree in the sense that answering "what really are qualia" may be as impossible as answering "what really are quantum fields". At some point we may be forced to accept "it just is", but that doesn't mean we can't make meaningful progress first, just like in physics.

For instance, either new physics is involved or it isn't. Finding solid evidence for or against it does not seem impossible, and it would definitely constitute meaningful progress, at the very least by ruling some theories out.

>An attorney with takes like "they don't put the facts from cases into SQL databases to query" yikes! They literally do

Oh, so now its back to facts and not just documents? I said they don't abstract the facts into an SQL database. Westlaw is not an SQL database of facts. It does not have a series of different entries of different types of facts about a case. When you search for something on Westlaw, it's not filtering through different kinds of facts to see if there is a pertinent entry, it's just string searching. I pointed this out to you earlier.

>LLMs already train on knowledgebases like WestLaw. You really think there will never exist an LLM for legal research, etc.? That much is probably happening now, I just haven't heard of the startup.

I never said that.

>So a defendants PII, plea, criminal history, time served, etc. are not important to a defense attorney?

Do you mean that you did the research, or your AI product did the research? How are you assessing whether a death was plausibly murder? So strange that the one example you find is of a car crash (one of the most common ways people die!) and no citation that it was found to be murder.
If you were incorrect, would you necessarily(!) be able to detect it?

I've had several hard drives that started gradually increasing a reallocated sector count, then start getting reported uncorrectable errors, then eventually just give up the ghost. Usually whenever reallocated sectors starts climbing a drive is nearing death and should be replaced as soon as possible. You might not have had corruption yet, but its coming. Once you get URE's you've lost some data.

However, one time a drive got a burst of reallocated sectors, it stabilized, then didn't have any problems for a long time. Eventually it wouldn't power on years later.
The cryptographer Dan J. Bernstein once told me a story that Bruce Schneier kept some cryptographic protocol secure for an additional 24 hours. The researcher demonstrating this protocol's weakness based their proof-of-concept on a proof in Schneier's book. However, Schneier's description contained a mathematical error. When the error in the proof-of-concept was pointed out to the researcher at the conference, this researcher went back to their hotel room, discovered the origin of the error in Schneier's text, and fixed the proof-of-concept for the conference-goers by the following day. Thus, Bruce Schneier kept a cryptographic protocol secure for an additional 24 hours.

This is cool, but hitting break on the single timeout example in Firefox suggests that this code is actually filling the stack up pretty quickly, once per iteration through the loop.

The concept is neat, though: it's basically handing off a number of callbacks. Under the hood I think you'll find that it's just a really expensive version of `Promise.then`.

I think appealing to the sensibility of musk supporters is a false pretense. They support musk for internal reasons and have no real stake in his success or their own credibility.

They really don't care how incredulous their audience is, so long as there's someone more foolish than them. And if musk really failed, they could fixate on someone else. Thus they can't be influenced by the ethic of credibility. They're still going to put forth their 42-Dimensional Chess theories.

But all this ends up being entertaining, and less likely to trick the gullible. Therefore I propose it's better to encourage them to give the most outlandish take possible, rather than a more credible one, for the reason that the absurdist takes are funnier and less likely to convert non-supporters.

It’s not flamebait. There was no deliberate attempt to piss people off. That it happened to anyway is entirely the fault of those outraged. It’s a relevant fact. People just get insecure and then defensive when they find one of their favorite people did something stupid. Same thing happened with Michael Jackson whose music was evidently so good that no one really batted an eye at all the awful shit he probably did.

Downvotes are a fine response. An irrational response, but an acceptable one. Indicating a rules violation amounts to attempting to censor a relevant and legitimate concern.

It’s bizarre to me because I’m particularly cynical. Half my role models have been revealed to have done shitty things that make them retroactively feel counterfeit as a role model. It is strange to see people still clinging to the notion that a celebrity they relate with is also a perfect person who can do no wrong. Further, you’re allowed to appreciate that person’s art. Just don’t fixate too much on the person themselves. They’ll probably disappoint you.

The thing is, results need to be genuine to constitute progress (fake results are arguably worse than none). That's why this undermining of trust in results is fatal.

You shouldn't 'offset' fraudulent research with "they won a Nobel" (which Harvard actually did last year, if you count economics), because even the work of Nobel winners can be called into question later [0, also has a Harvard degree btw]. Every instance of academic fraud is problematic, and multiple independent cases in a year, across a wide spectrum of disciplines and departments at the same institution, is definitely not common, and we shouldn't start normalizing it I think.
