A zero multiplied by whatever is still zero.

It can not solve anything with one broad category of exceptions as https://hachyderm.io/@inthehands/112006855076082650 brilliantly explains:

> You might be surprised to learn that I actually think LLMs have the potential to be not only fun but genuinely useful. “Show me some bullshit that would be typical in this context” can be a genuinely helpful question to have answered, in code and in natural language — for brainstorming, for seeing common conventions in an unfamiliar context, for having something crappy to react to.

> Alas, that does not remotely resemble how people are pitching this technology.
For maximum data isolation of hardware devices from Apple:

- avoid storing anything on iCloud
- disable iCloud via MDM / Apple Configurator policy profile
- router block Apple network (17.0.0.0/8) connections
- router block Apple CDNs via dnsmasq wildcard domains
- router allow Apple servers for notifications and app/OS updates
- login via App Store only, not Settings/iCloud

I agree. The more you learn about trawling the less you’ll understand why it’s still permitted in so many places.

Where I live it’s cut back dramatically, but the bizarre thing is that it’s strictly permitted in territories where we know rare deep sea glass sponge reefs exist, and once thrived. These reefs are islands of immense diversity and biomass which fed huge numbers of transient species moving through the deep. They were also nurseries for a large number of fish species we commonly fish for.

We work so hard to regulate our fisheries yet do so little to properly protect the resources they extract from a holistic perspective.
What about eating healthier and doing more sport? I heard it works pretty well.
Most likely by ground teams operating the spacecraft remotely. There isn’t much for humans to do in a spacecraft that can’t be done by automation, unless something goes wrong.
I don't know how much C code actually uses it tbh.

Most things just take a pointer.

Wouldn't be easy by any means but it could be done at the scale of the Linux kernel if anyone cared enough.
leechblock works for me because i have adhd and will open a time wasting website as a reflex and without thinking about it. i'm met with the block page and I'm like "that's fair".

it will not, however, stop the deliberate decisions to procrastinate, as you said
This the type of thing I plan to implement. If there's one way to save things. Of course, it's definitely going to hide some files eventually, so hopefully you got a log file going documenting the modifications.
The original Dickstein 2015 paper [1] formulated diffusion as maximizing (a lower bound of) log-likelihood of generating the distribution, so there was some theory. But my understanding is that the breakthrough was empirical results from Ho [2] and Nichol [3] showing diffusion could produce not only high-quality samples but better than GANs in some cases.

Perhaps there were no kind streets in the UK 90 years ago but that last sentence is the opposite of my experience. I have rented many properties over the decades in some of the roughest neighborhoods and I have never had a landlord that matched that description. If I did I could just leave. If they are a real a*hole then they risk vandalism to their valued property or a lawsuit.

Usually when I meet someone who has a "nightmare" landlord they usually don't have basic handy skills or are petty/greedy/dumb/nightmare people. The article drives this home citing a "100% capital gains tax" i.e., landlords should work for them for free. There is no interest in fairness and no brain cells fire when it comes to having empathy for the other side. Just a sprinkling of "me" neurons and not much else.
Why? The guy tried to hire a hitman.
Sure, but if you fully believe that the platform is untrustworthy, that seems like the ultimate dealbreaker for someone who is concerned about their data privacy. It's the juxtaposition of "I don't trust this platform at all" and "I put my data that must remain private on it" that I don't understand.
Seems a bit hypocritical to write an article critical of "power-over" and then end on a note that essentially suggest giving "power over" others to the supposedly and self labeled marginalized.

Let's not forget, the truly marginalized don't have voiced to speak up themselves, in the majority of cases.
latitude not altitude.

And Finland absolutely could provide energy to its entire population with renewables excluding nuclear. They haven't and that's their choice, but you cannot claim with any legitimacy that it's not possible because of latitude.

The largest study yet on the therapeutic power of prayer by strangers has found that it provided no benefit to the recovery of patients who had undergone cardiac bypass surgery.

In an unexpected twist, patients who knew prayers were being said for them had more complications after surgery than those who did not know, researchers reported Thursday.

I fancy myself a pretty decent cook, but rice has been the bane of my existence. I don't own a rice cooker, and I could never get it right.

Then I learned about the pasta method. It probably closed about 80% of the quality gap in my finished product.
yes it does seem that way although i also have seen a lot of people using chatgpt to give them code in languages that they do not want to learn for whatever reason - but are smart enough to debug the code to get it to a level they want. lots of python/esoteric css libraries included in this.
lots of frustration expresses that chatgpt can't do C++ efficiently for the same reason.

very weird thought process but i assume learning another language is less important than the results.
Alright, since I did a quick skim over the article liked by @JonChesterfield and didn't find any discussion of how they calibrated their fMRI machine or if they did any Multiple Comparison Corrections, time to post the obvious:

fMRI is not a silver bullet, do your due diligence everyone. I'll wait for this to be replicated before I read anything into it.
We are talking about major renewable projects not small scale solar panels on your roof.

Even small scale needs stability in government support because you need to invest in the grid and energy storage to handle the excess in power generated by solar panels during the day.
For the people who actually care about using C, there can be no unified concept of "array". Any single "the system" will just plain and simply be unusable in a good majority of situations.

Some people will want to store the size in a type smaller than size_t (and potentially place it not adjacent to the data pointer for better packing in a struct; or perhaps even bit-pack it). Some will want to place the size relative to the data instead of the pointer (esp. flexible array members). Some will want to store half (or a third, etc) of the element count, the array being used as multiple back-to-back arrays. Then you'll have questions on pointers in the middle of an array, indexable by positive and negative indices. Never mind the pretty significantly increased register shuffling of having to pass the size across functions.

For projects that are fine with doing things in the single way forced upon you and don't care about how things are done as long as it's safe, C is already rather clearly not the language to choose.

C++ as-is can already pretty trivially allow adding bounds-checked array types, and compilers can even be configured to warn on all pointer indexing (https://godbolt.org/z/W8sqGW5sh), achieving the entirety of your proposal while not locking people into a single data structure. (granted, some may not want to expand to C++ "just" for one or two features (me included), but here allowing customizable array data structures is basically the only sane option, and C would have to take a rather significant amount from C++ to allow for such itself)

The crush to the cable could be a number of things but without knowing the terrain, and knowing these cables just lie on the sea floor, it could be caused by the cable sitting on some jagged rock and has been pulled tight elsewhere (perhaps by fisherman dredging the seabed) resulting in the cable being forced onto the jagged rock and it being crushed onto the rock.

Likewise, but unlikely, some heavy object from above has some how landed on the cable, perhaps even a submarine of sorts resting on the seabed.

Again knowledge of the terrain of the sea floor where the cable crush took place is key into gaining some idea of what might have happened, but I think its the first scenario, a fisherman dredging the sea floor elsewhere has caught and pulled the cable tight and the cable crush is the damage from it resting on rocks where its snagged and crushed itself from the tautness.

Rock climbers and abseilers using ropes will see this with their ropes.

This reads for me as a reflection of Google politics/org structure. The SRE org positioning itself as the guardian of system design vs. the SWEs who are agents of complexity. Doesn't feel healthy to me. The principles are fine but it's the SWEs that should be talking and applying them because they are "closer" to the decisions.

Have you read the source code of Xpdf (the thing being exploited in the famous NSO Apple iMessage 0-click blah blah)?

I did (because I wrote an exploit for the bug after the Google blogpost, for curiosity), the code looks disgusting. The author (one poor guy) does not have the code in an online VCS and instead dump a source tarball every few months (or years). The upstream vulnerable code was fixed months after news outbreak.

My conclusion is if Apple had a choice it won't end up in iOS at all. Clearly, Apple already paid a lot of maintaining cost in this case (fixing bugs before upstream did), but what you asked for is a whole new level.
Microsoft and Qualcomm aren't even offering to sell hardware below cost, much less loaning hardware and then issuing a store credit for the full amount you paid to join the program.

It doesn't show anywhere near the same level of commitment to getting the software in their ecosystem ported over to their new architecture.

Why aren't the fossil fuel companies moving to renewables and nuclear themselves? Wouldn't it make better long-term business sense? They can then keep selling fossil fuels as long as they have a market to sell them in, but if the market dries up due to regulations — no worries.

I might have a naive view of this but a dual strategy would seem to make more business sense. I mean — every dollar invested in lobbying for fossil fuels seems to have a higher expected value of money if it was spent on expanding renewable and nuclear operations.
Arnt, it's ironic that you accuse me of beating a straw man when you're the one misrepresenting my point. I never claimed the article presents stock performance as the sole economic indicator, yet you've constructed this false narrative to undermine. That's the very definition of a straw man fallacy. Moreover, your equating stock market gains with broad economic prosperity for the average American is a textbook example of the fallacy of composition. You're assuming that what's true for a part (the stock market) must be true for the whole (the overall economy).

I'm not suggesting the article presents stock performance as the sole economic indicator. Rather, I'm emphasizing that for the majority of Americans, the stock market doesn't accurately reflect their personal economic realities, even if other indicators are positive.

The idea that the stock market and the economy are not the same thing is not new or controversial. Equities index levels tell us about the changing expectations of future profits (and reflexively expectations on central bank rates), not about the condition of the overall economy. I.e. there is a fundamental disconnect between financial markets and the real economy. Simply put, the causal relationship between the stock market (forward looking) and the real economy is tenuous at best.

Let's look at the data. The Federal Reserve reports that the wealthiest 10% of American households own about 88% of all stocks, leaving just 12% for the rest of the population [1]. So while the S&P 500 may be up an impressive 13% year-to-date, the benefits are disproportionately concentrated among a small, affluent segment of society.

You make a big deal about the contradiction between stock ownership and market perception surveys. But that just proves what I'm saying! If ~62% of people supposedly own stocks, but half think the market is down, then obviously those stock gains aren't making a real difference in their lives.

This disconnect likely stems from the fact that for many households, their stock holdings are relatively modest. The median family might have around $40,000 invested in stocks. A 13% ytd increase in their portfolio value (assuming indexed to S&P500 for 2024) would equate to a $5,200 gain. While certainly welcome, this incremental growth can easily be overshadowed by broader economic pressures like inflation or slow wage growth.

The article does acknowledge positive indicators like GDP growth and job creation. However, it also recognizes the ongoing challenges many Americans face, such as high prices and the expiration of stimulus support. In the context of these everyday financial realities, stock market performance often feels disconnected from the typical household's economic health.

The fact remains, for the vast majority of Americans, stock market fluctuations have limited bearing on their economic well-being.

Absolutely. I use my grandmother as an example of what happens when you take family away from someone.

My grandmother lived between orphanages and an abusive mother who literally beat one of her children retarded with a frying pan.

She was determined to give her children a better life. And she did! She turned to her friends to figure out basic life skills. My mother had an idyllic childhood.

However, my grandma only knew how to survive an abusive childhood. She taught my mother to 'pretend everything is okay' when things were bad, because that's how she survived.

My mother married an angry and cruel man and had children with him - my sister and me. She pretended everything was okay as our father told us we were stupid and worthless, backing up his opinion with violence. Years later, she still doesn't understand why we are distant with her because she still lives in her fantasy world.

Now, imagine taking family away from an entire group of people. All traditions wiped out.
> And I personally think this and the general decline in mental resilience we see in society is strongly correlated with decline in religion

Explain China, which didn't face any similar problems until this same generation, despite having no religion.

Or how about Japan until recently?

Or any of the ex-Soviet countries.

Something is changing in the world, and it is happening across geographic and cultural boundaries.
For me, reading isNotEqual() introduces an extra mental variable. I have to spend extra effort to keep track of the bar over the statement that doesn't exist in the text.

But that said, I see no reason that someone couldn't learn to parse notX as fluently as I parse !X. I suppose it's one of those fashions that change with the times. Probably a big reason that I stick to good old C a lot of the time.
Other than the pessimistic finish, my prediction is that this is exactly what will happen.

The change will be a generational one. C will never entirely disappear, but over time, C code will be old code. People will occasionally write new C for what amounts to aesthetic reasons, and there will be a robust niche (doubtless well-paid) of maintainers of legacy C projects. All the kernels currently written in C will still exist, and still be composed mostly or entirely of C.

But new work in embedded, drivers, implementation of programming languages, netork stacks, will be in Zig instead. With some Rust as well, but I figure we've seen enough of that arc to tentatively conclude that what Rust is displacing is mostly C++, not C.

But when I say generational, I mean it. You're quite right that there is a legion of C programmers who like it and intend to stick with it. But they'll retire one day.

Maybe, among other things, more widespread and easily ingested news has something to do with it. Centuries ago, foreign news was what happened two villages over, and you only knew about that because of some wanderer that came and told you, because you couldn't read and there were no newspapers to read anyway. And it your world was limited to a radius of a few tens of kilometres, then most of the time, in that world, everything wasn't going to hell in a handbasket.

Now, it's easier to find that there's lots of things happening across the entire world, so it's more likely to feel that 'everything's turning to shit.'
No mainstream politicians are pushing for “open borders.” It is an extremist, unpopular idea.
Yes, I understand that. But the topic at hand is a compiler whose "intended use is the compilation of life-critical and mission-critical software written in C". The idea of using C in life-critical and mission-critical software is risible as long as the language definition requires it to have gaping security holes, especially when the single biggest contributor to this problem is fairly easy to fix, at least from a technological point of view if not a political and sociological one.

Once I was in a remote national park with a friend of mine, and they started having stroke-like symptoms.

We talked to the medic on site, and luckily the symptoms seemed to be abating. The medic (also a LEO), told me to drive my friend to the nearest hospital, 45 minutes away. The medic said, "Drive fast, but not too fast. Unless the symptoms get worse, in which case drive REALLY fast."

The symptoms did not get worse, gratefully. But this is a case where a LEO was telling me when it would be a good time to speed.
