Some planning algorithm like this might work, for sure. But onpy if it is included in whatever software being used for this kind of planning. Otherwise, it is a nice academic excercise at best.

The rules are open source. We did run into some road bumps in Rules Rust, that required patches or clever work arounds. But I believe the community has made great strides to improve Bazel’s Rust support in the last five years.

To be frank, I would avoid introduction of Bazel unless you are experiencing major pains with your current system and have at least a small centralized team willing to build expertise and provide support.
I didn't want to say it but yes, it feels like a large amount of the discourse I see on here is just people explaining things that are really obvious to me as a neurotypical person to people who seem to be autistic. I understand it's not really fair for me to complain about that, but it's naturally quite tiring to see constant explanations about the basic aspects of most humans.

I mean, for what it's worth I'm a Marxist and that fact definitely influenced my choice of words there and how I think about this stuff. That said, while I'm also a communist (because I can't think of anything else that describes me better), I do think that Marx's critique of capitalism is his most enduring body of work that remains relevant to this day, while his contributions to how to build socialism are important for historical purposes but have been mostly superseded by later theorists. I don't think he would have found that particularly surprising, either.

Capitalism is about the accumulation of capital goods into private hands and centralization and socialization of production. To my mind, that's what it does and what drives it forward - most everything else is secondary. That's not quite the same as "only for profit" but it's close. People under capitalism don't all think of it that way, but unfortunately the humans aren't in charge. The logic of capitalism, is.
Are there any other models that support function calling?
Like any game or sport, millions of people do it for a variety of reasons:

- The act itself is fun
- Competing with others can be fun
- Improving oneself in a measurable way is satisfying

Many people like doing what they are good at, and not everyone is good at art.
I already said: because it's fun to improve your skills and also to compete with other humans. Rubik's cube is just one possible way to do this. Chess is another. Counter Strike is another. Running fast is another. Etc. etc.
Determinism: via sandboxing builds, it’s a little leaky by default (but getting better). See https://bazel.build/basics/hermeticity

Parallelism: Easier with sandboxing, but the build declares all inputs/outputs so it builds a merkle tree and strictly inforces a DAG. This way you can parallelize independent subgraphs and cache at a fine grained level.
I recommend taking a look at the article I shared. It might help you gain more insight on the topic, rather than continuing to post critical comments without all the information.

Not to dismiss your observations but to supply an alternative explanation for your belief about them: Do you remember your embarrassing experiences vs the not embarrassing ones equally well? A selective memory can give the illusion of correlation. Moreover once you have some belief you may become better at finding and remembering confirming evidence for that belief.
I bought one when I lied to myself and said I'll learn to do this in less than a minute. After 3 weeks I just got an app and solved it.

> You can't "boil off" the atmosphere. You need to accelerate the gas molecules past the planetary escape velocity, otherwise they'll just cool down and drop back onto the surface.

Velocity in a gas is a distribution; raise temperature and increasing fraction exceeds escape velocity.

This is why Earth has ~ no hydrogen or helium in the air.

> There's no realistic way to evacuate that much gas (the surface pressure on Venus is almost 100 atmospheres!).

"Realistic" for values including "let's build a mirror the size of a planet, in space, and keep it together for centuries".

It's currently scifi to send more than a mere few tons total mass that way, and mirrors wouldn't even survive decades, so "realistic" is a bad criticism.
"The implicit assumption central to this way of organising the economy is that anything legally on sale is "safe". That it has been checked and approved by experts that know what they are doing and have the consumer interest as top priority.

People will not rush back home to their chemistry labs to check what is in their purchased food, whether it corresponds to the label (assuming that such a label even exists) and what might be the short or long term health effects. They dont have the knowledge, resources and time to do that for all the stuff they get exposed to."

What you describe is a feature of a high-trust society, where you don't have to double-check every single transaction or interaction you enter into, but can take most statements on trust. This allows people to get on with the fundamental task at hand, rather than dealing with the overhead of checking their food in the chemistry lab, or whatever the equivalent is for the specific transaction.

I have read suggestions that this was a major contributor to the growth of the Western economies, relative to other low-trust societies. If this was the case, we are in for a bumpy ride, as we seem to be rapidly changing from a high-trust to a low-trust society.
Some things don’t have a “best”. They have subjective evaluation where there really isn’t a “best”, just some general sense of “good” but nothing definitive in the category of #1.

However, you cannot beat a robot in Rubik’s cube solving and you cannot run so fast that time itself stops. So what are you doing.
France did something like that last month. To support the "Centre national de la musique", a new 1.2% tax was added on digital music streaming services. But rather than absorbing the cost, Spotify just raised its subscription cost.
In the end, the government just taxes its citizens more instead of getting a bigger share of revenue from these companies.

The only real treatment for ADHD is to medicate, and I’ve seen some studies that show your brain creates more dopamine pathways (forget the actual term, but basically more efficient at getting rid of dopamine) over time, which means that if I were to go off the medication, I’m potentially worse off than before. That seems too high of a cost.

I have tried it before though, it certainly works.

If you need to intentionally structure a deal to avoid scrutiny and have it described that way, it implies what you really wanted was much worse.

Right. But the comments thread for the referenced paper got flagged.

It’s not really clear why. (Perhaps dang can clarify?) Maybe that it got a bit political.

But it is a shame, because trust in science has taken a bit of a hammering in recent times. And although it is easy to slip into partisan rhetoric, I rather think it’s the duty of forums like this to entertain that as a kind of cost of doing business. (Of course, the business being showing that despite inevitable political distraction, science as an institution is trustworthy.)

Anyway. I expect I’ll lose that argument… :-)
Hmm, my solution would be to convert the number to a string and return its length. Easily done in Perl:

perl -e 'print length 987654'
6

Similarly easy in Lisp with either of write-to-string, prin1-to-string, and princ-to-string. I expect python to have some such built-in function too.
It’s for personal satisfaction. At some point, you can’t physically move the cube any faster, but rather you learn new algorithm to save the steps.

For example, you could solve the final layer by repeating 3 algorithms. Or you could learn about 100 algorithms for 100 permutations. At higher level, you would know that using A algorithm would be faster than B because the one next to it is easier to perform.

You could look in blind cube where you look at the cube, memorize it then solve it while blindfolded.
It's the nature of hobbies: the journey is important. Why dance, or play piano when there are people who can do it much better, and we can make machines to do it even better? Why people go fishing? Once you start questioning the reason why we do things almost everything is meaningless.

Solving Rubic's is enjoyable because the next time you break your own record is unpredictable. It's similar to gambling in one aspect and to playing 2048 in another: as you play more, the time between your "win"s increases, but so does your ability to focus, and push forward without success.
If it's your main place of residence [1], I don't have issues with making it protected against the kind of mechanism we're talking about.

Because you know the problem doesn't come from people going for long vacations, but from landlords hoarding houses and holding in order to never let the price go down.

«Owning a house» can mean two very different things. It's either:

- I'm living in a place and I don't depend on anyone for hosting me.

- I hold some piece of paper that says that this particular place in the country belongs to me and if the people living there don't pay me I can call the police to get them evicted.

The first one is basic human right and should be protected as such, the second one is just something enforced by the power of the state in favor of the upper class against the working class.

[1] which, in many countries you need to declare to the government already, so that they know where to get you should they send the police to arrest you.
Assuming you've set up an index on the public ID string, that should be a super fast query even on a table with billions of rows. Beyond billions of rows you're looking at something a lot more custom than a standard SQL DB, but assuming you shard the data, it should still be a very fast query regardless of dataset size.

Worst case you can cache, as others have mentioned, but TBH I think you don't need to for a query that simple and should save the cache space for something more complicated. Most SQL DBs are excellent for ready-heavy workloads; it's writes that tend to make them fall over.
Happy Knock customer. Tell me why I should consider Laudspeaker over Knock.
I’m not asking as a criticism. I’m asking from the standpoint of “what’s the end goal?” What does a person hope to achieve?

You said they enjoy doing it. But I have a hard time imagining someone laboriously perfecting something (but never actually doing so) as an enjoyable activity. In fact, it sounds like hell to me.
From the supply side NIMBY attitude is clearly a major problem. However that's looking at it in complete isolation, vast majority of population growth has come from Immigration, so it would be just as one sided to say

"The bogeyman is mostly immigrants"

Just to be super clear I'm arguing against one sided statements and not (legal) immigration which I don't have a problem with. However our politicians cannot allow population growth without also providing housing and infrastructure growth otherwise we end up here.
I’d probably live on an 80/20 rule just to harbour innovation. I really believe you can only innovate and create something novel by doing different to everyone else.

So all core tech uses a consistent language or framework eg

- Frontend: Typescript/React/Next

- Backend: C#/.NET or Python, Go

But people can go wild with things like developer tooling or non-core products and experiment. And I mean experiment:

- Try new frameworks, new languages, new paradigms, new targets, new platforms.

Let your devs build and experiment with chrome extensions, flutter apps, Swift games, Kotlin VPNs, Lisp DSLs, python TUIs, ascii games, anything just something different from normal work

If you just do bread and butter dev work 100% of the time and stay consistent with that, you will become a bread and butter shop, and you will stay a bread and butter dev. Period.

Sometimes life needs a bit of spice

At work we use Typescript, React, Next, backends are Node, Python, C# as the defaults.

But I want to build browser extensions for them in React to extend their online SQL editors. And I want to build TUIs with Go to monitor containers and orchestrate project starts. Maybe I’ll write a data processing command line tool in Lisp. I reckon go wild with developer tooling.

> The gvisor netstack ... this article is discussing how the performance of that component was ... garbage.

The article and a related GitHub discussion (linked from TFA) points out that the default congestion algorithm (reno) wasn't good for long-distance (over Internet) workloads. The gvisor team never noticed it because they test/tune for in-datacenter usecases.

> These tools bring marginal capability and performance gains

I get your point (ex: app sandbox in Android ruins battery & perf, website sandbox on chrome wastes memory, etc). While 0-days continue to sell for millions, opsec are right to be skeptical about a very critical component (kernel) that runs on 50%+ of all servers & personal devices.

Funnily enough, in TPM 2.0 there's way around MITM attacks like that - you can establish encrypted connection between TPM and CPU, which outside first-time configuration (which should happen in controlled environment anyway) should provide reasonable roadblock to successful MITM attack.

But CPU-side software needs to use it, and without default well-known keys...
I don't know specifically about OpenCL, but the big thing about CUDA is that it's supported across operating systems and across the whole spectrum of NVidia GPUs. AMD has ROCm, but they have to be dragged kicking and screaming to support any of the consumer grade GPUs. ROCm is still pretty much Linux only, with limited support on Windows and only the high-end consumer offerings (7900XT and 7900XTX) are officially supported for ROCm. Because they want to push compute users (and AI users) into workstation grade GPUs. In comparison, CUDA is usable and supported even on mid range NVidia GPUs such as RTX 3060. And most of the software around things like AI is done by enthusiasts with gaming PCs, so they write their software for the interface that supports them.

I have an AMD card that I try to use for AI stuff and it's an uphill battle. The most popular workloads such as Stable Diffusion or Llama more or less work. But as soon as you go into other, less mainstream workloads it starts to fall apart. Projects install CUDA versions of torch by default. To make them work you have to uninstall them manually and install the ROCM versions of torch. Then it turns out some Python dependency also uses CUDA, so you also have to find a ROCM fork for that dependency. Then there's some other dependency which only has a CUDA and CPU version and you're stuck.
Privacy doesn't matter until someone in a vulnerable group gets killed because someone doxxed them. Hell, even some semi-private people have been killed by things like swatting. Privacy matters and we should pass laws to protect it, just like we have the 4th amendment to protect against unlawful search and seizure.

Although I think it'll be fine even without a cache for most workloads (it's super easily indexed since the cardinality of random data is extremely high), I'm curious what cache setup you've got that it would take a minute to do a KV lookup — Memcached or Redis for example should be single digit milliseconds or better.

Vulkan is the arguably worst of the modern GPU APIs. It's not all that portable since you have to check for sooo many differences in architecture. It requires the most amount of manual synchronization. It lacks a higher-level shading language (you generally have to pick a library that implements some other higher level language and let it generate SPIR-V for you and pray it works portably).

Except for projects like this, Vulkan really only exists on Linux and Android. It'a not really a thing on Windows. Sure, some games are using it, but they're like 1% or less.

Metal is arguably the best of the 3 APIs, though of course it was easier to do without having any legacy behind it and without being designed by committee.
