yes? that's 100x better! at the end of the day, internal testing just isn't going to catch every single permutation of customer configuration, so there's always a risk that something bad goes out. if you're that big, you'd start with .01% of the fleet instead of 1% of the fleet, so it's 100_000 before you get to 1_000_000, before going to 100% but neither Apple or Google have figured out a better way than that. It's industry standard at this point.

My own anecdote: When I got my M3 Pro in April and had to start afresh, it was stuck in a restart loop and had to take it to the Genius Bar; they asked me to answer ‘no’ to some question that I was answering differently. That was it. I have no idea on the root cause or why it was fixed this way. I don’t remember the exact screen where the answer was supposed to be different.
IIRC the server simulation ran at 10Hz. I think the goal was to update every unit every tick. But there may have been some round robin style updates as you get to late game. Pathfinding may have had some limits and deferred requests.

Nothing particularly clever that I can recall. But it’s been quite a few years!
It would be neat to have non-assembly options for things like this. A "load with unspecified elements for any values past the end of the allocation, UB only if the hardware doesn't like it" thing shouldn't be hard to support, even if just as an alias for the respective assembly invocations.

Additional neatness would be being able to request a guarantee that all allocations - malloc, stack, constants - have at least, say, 64 bytes of non-faulting addresses after them, though that is significantly more complex, requiring cooperation between a bunch of parts.

Annoying thing is that this is trivial with a custom allocator (as long as the compiler isn't told to consider the custom sub-allocations as separate), but then you're stuck not being able to use your SIMD stuff on anything outside your custom heap due to the very tiny chance of segfaulting.

Sanitizers/valgrind don't necessarily become pointless with this even - the past-the-end values are still undefined, can be tracked as such, and error on use.

The app store does some pre-checks, yes. But it can’t catch all the security vulnerabilities that might be unknown. It’s only a small piece of the pie. Largely it exists to make sure apps work, don’t have malicious UX patterns and don’t use private APIs.

iOS (and to a lesser degree, macOS) use notarization to be able to pull apps found of being risky as needed.

Additionally they implement much stricter levels of sandboxing so that even if something slips by all detection, it’s heavily limited in what it can do without a users explicit permission or a catastrophic vulnerability.

Agreed. This doesn't make the problem better, it's a bandaid solution that can make the problem worse by allowing you to ignore it for longer.

Iterating on your alarms is super informative about the underlying product. It'll point to how you might improve your KPI measurements, or find bugs you didn't know were there.

Hang around business folks. They often need a "CTO" to just handle automation, logistics, teach them about CRMs and ERPs.

The downside is you're a cost center then. The last time I applied for one of these, I was getting offered intermediate engineer salaries for a "CTO" role of keeping a multi-million dollar small company with a complex supply chain going smoothly. Less bus count, less vacation time. They'll be reluctant to pay you 5x the median salary, whereas if you work corporate, you can make 1/2 the median salary with the same skill set. It's why it's not a common path for the folks around here, and it doesn't reward depth of knowledge.
Thanks! That AOSP `repo` tool is one I'd not heard of, so thanks for sharing!

I actually haven't really put much thought into collaborative/mutlirepo development work using vdm -- the original intent was for it to strictly be a retriever of what the user specifies. I think the majority of both my frustration and complexity of other tools is because they're trying to solve for a lot more than at least I personally usually want to use them for. It's like, I just want a `pip install/requirements.txt/go.{mod,sum}` for any kind of tool, not just the language that takes up the majority of my codebase.

One of the thoughts I had, though, was to maybe add a field for each remote section called e.g. `try_local` that takes a filesystem path, and if that doesn't exist then fetch the remote. That way, your development workflow is exactly the same as usual -- developing a dependency is just doing work in the actual repo directory nearby. I'm not married to the idea though. I just REALLY don't want to have it be in the business of managing git-repos-in-git-repos, because vdm isn't really intended to be a Git tool, if that makes sense.
English is not "sloppy", not any more than any other language. Any language with a large number and geographic spread of speakers will develop varieties and accents. In fact people do it deliberately to distinguish themselves from other speakers of the same language (just take a look at how teenagers' language innovates). French, Spanish, and German all have huge variation in dialects and accents too.

English, like many other languages learnt widely as a trade language by non-native speakers, has lost a lot of complexity, notably case system and gender. (Indonesian is perhaps the canonical example of this.) Unfortunately its spelling was standardized just before it underwent a huge change in pronunciation, and its habit of borrowing words from other languages without changing their spelling, has left it with fairly chaotic orthography. A few phonetic features - unusual consonants like th, difficult to learn rules around stressed syllables, nasty consonant clusters (squirrel!) - do make it tricker than it could be for second language learners.

It didn't become the default international language of trade due to any features of the language itself (it did that thanks to the British Empire and in particular its former colony in North America) - but many features of modern English are the result of so many people learning and speaking it.

Because it is so widely spoken by so many people, it does have a large vocabulary and a lot of idioms. But the grammar is generally not too difficult - no grammatical gender, no case aside from a few pronouns, outside of a handful of irregular verbs conjugations are pretty easy ("put an 's' on the third person singular"), and so on.

This is the first time I read about someone actually trying to remember IP6 addresses, maybe I should try that, because it’s really easy to remember IP4. For me, the problem is that there’s hex numbers, which are harder to remember and missing zeros, so you need remember the colons. If IP6 would just be 6 decimal numbers and this would be the default way of writing them, this would not be a problem. But it feels to me that the cryptic way IP6 is written is to make it hard for humans to remember it.
it protects against boot and early boot attacks. thia includes bootkits but also early drivers such as AV drivers and others which protect the system further. if you dont have it, any security can be compromised before its active. via different methods.

Maybe young people can’t, but older folks can easily store phone numbers in their brains, so IP4 is easy.
Sure, but not all my code in a single repo is monolingual code, and not all of those languages have cooperative (or existing) package managers. Bash is a great example of something I wish I could stop copy-pasting between repos, and was actually the original motivator for vdm (along with protobuf files, for the same reasons).
Maybe you are right. I live in the bay area and people here who lucked out buying a house in a normal time at a normal value have nothing to do but show up at all sorts of public hearings, meetings, etc. and shout down any kind of new development
You can hardly hoard things that will become obsolete in a few years.
> so it is not just cache misses.

Agreed 100%. SMT is waaaay more complex than just cache. I was just trying to illustrate in simple scenarios where increasing cache would and would not be beneficial to SMT.
Any service suggestions?
English is the lingua franca, because English is the only language adaptable enough that it can refer to itself with a Latin phrase that literally means “French”.
I think there is a flaw in your logic here. The physics we know has certain features-e.g. unitary evolution. But, it is possible that there is a “deeper level” of physics we haven’t discovered yet. There are some major proposals for what that “deeper level” (or levels) might look like - e.g. M theory or loop quantum gravity - but for all we know maybe the underlying “real physics” is something nobody has even thought of yet, maybe something completely out of left field whose discovery is centuries away.

Whatever that “deeper level” is, should we assume it shares the “surface level” features such as unitary evolution? Well, there are two possibilities (a) yes it does (absolutely or universally so), or (b) in the most general case, no it doesn’t, but in the normal situation those features emerge.

Suppose, in the “ultimate physics”, unitary evolution is actually violated, but only at very extreme energy levels we are nowhere near being able to test? Or maybe it is conserved locally, but in distant regions of the universe (say a googolplex parsecs away) it isn’t? Or maybe it is conserved in the present, but in the very distant future (say a googolplex years from now) it won’t be any more? Do we have any way of knowing those possibilities won’t turn out to hold?

But if we don’t, then using the fact that cellular automata lack that feature as an argument against Wolfram’s hypothesis - it seems to me rather weak. That’s not to say that his hypothesis is actually true - I’d be rather surprised if it were. But I just don’t think this is a very convincing argument against it

Just to be clear within the analogy: are you expecting the auto manufacturers to "force-eject" any hotel on Park Ave that has a record of valet mishaps? Or did you mean individual cars should force-eject the valet?

If a Caesars Entertainment property in Macao has enough incidents, should GM update the firmware on their automobiles to force-eject valets at Caesars Entertainment properties in Las Vegas?

Now imagine that GM actually operates valet services in Macao and Las Vegas. Should they be allowed to force-eject valets from competing services?

I am not a Microsoft apologist. I think they should do better. I think Linux and FreeBSD should do better. I personally avoid Microsoft products. But I place more blame on people who use MS products than I do on MS. After all, I never intend to hand my beat up old Corolla over to a valet so why should I have to pay for a "valet mode" feature that Toyota is forced to build into all their cars? Isn't it reasonable that motorcycles, 18-passenger vans, and scooters don't need "valet mode"?

In my book, the auto manufacturer is lower on the list of culprits than the valet, "the establishment that keeps a valet with an abominable record on staff", and the vehicle owner. But some place like Car and Driver could definitely prioritize encouraging GM or Toyota to develop valet modes over berating owners; so I don't mind a place like HN shooting a few arrows at MS. Unless the general public follows their lead and lets bad guys off the hook by shifting too much focus to somebody lower on the list.

Yeah I was hoping there will be some bit about how LLMs make many of the tasks that people used SpaCy for a lot easier and cheaper. That is a bigger threat to the project going forward I don’t see how it can exist in the same form as today.

That's easily solved by simply not letting half a million immigrants into the country in one year, but that wouldn't keep the job market flooded with desperate people and the housing bubble inflating for another year.

My fault for poor wording, what I mean it understands the code its commenting on, and writes useful comments that I would normally write myself, and can also write simple boilerplate code for me.

So for example if I start typing 'while' it will let me tab complete out the whole skeleton of that loop. For simpler things it even seems to be able to guess my intentions and actually populate the loop and its conditions.
Is this also why English has so many words? I know we doubled up on words by keeping both the Anglo-Saxon and Norman French words for the same basic concepts, but did we really be up with even more to make up for the simpler grammar?
My grandfather, Dick, was a Korea war veteran who founded a manufacturing company. He was a grizzly, old school guy with a bit of a drinking problem. As the legend goes HAM was the only thing that brought him joy. He had an entire room of the house with equipment that nobody was allowed in, until I was born (first grandchild privileges).

I always think of him when I see ham crop up online. The dish in their back yard was enormous. But yeah, in my head, ham is basically populated with guys like this, cranky old men who start ball slide part companies and smoke 2 packs a day

Because meta-mathematical proofs often use transcendental induction and associated "non-constructive" and "non-finitistic" arguments. The diagonilization argument itself is an instance of something that can not actually be implemented on a computer because constructing the relevant function in finite time is impossible. Computers are great but when people say things like "The human mind is software running on the brain like a computer" that indicates to me they are confused about what they're trying to say about minds, brains, and computers. Collapsing all those different concepts into a Turing machine is what I mean by a confused ontology.

In any event, I'm dropping out of this thread since I don't have much else to say on this and it often leads to unnecessary theorycrafting with people who haven't done the prerequisite reading on the relevant matters.

I wasn't providing an argument to convince anyone of anything. Study the mathematics and if you have a way of making progress in constructing better physical theories based on Wolfram's foundations then more power to you. In general, talk is cheap and the proof is in the pudding. Wolfram never provides any testable results of possible experiments to validate his theories. He is mostly theorycrafting with rewrite systems and hoping something useful comes out. It's a lot like an evolutionary search over the space of possible rewrite systems to make some nice looking graphs. Whatever he's doing is not science in any meaningful sense of the word because there are no predictive and falsifiable experiments based on his theories.

The "inherent advantage" of English is basically the same advantage of Facebook and Instagram: people use them because other people use them. When a Korean meets a Greek, chances are that neither knows each other's language but they both know English. So they converse in English.

> If AI could track context of conversations and include player actions such as quests, relationships, deaths etc to influence decisions or outcomes it would add lots of enjoyment for me.

From what people say about them Bethesda games try to do this, but it seems like the result is they're impossibly buggy because noone can test all of that.

Undertale is low tech, but does track player deaths and use them in the story.
CoPilot gets the percentage higher.
Sorry, I have to chime in here again with more linguistic pedantry: "Lingua Franca" doesn't mean "French". The term referred to a trade language spoken throughout the Mediterranean [0], named for Western European traders (the Byzantines called all Western Europeans Franks).

French later became one of many lingua francas, but that was after the term was already in common usage to refer to any language used as a bridge.

[0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediterranean_Lingua_Franca
Correct. This raises the question what should be the basis of the Unicode casing algorithm: what is commonly practiced by users of a specific language (how to measure this reliably in less clear cases than this one?) or what an official "specification" of the language defines (if such a thing exists, and is widely accepted, especially when the language is spoken in more than one country)?
If the problem is difficult, you could run it 5fps or so and interpolate between its results.
It's for procedural effects and simulation, yeah. Stuff like fluid and gas simulation, interactions between them, surface deformation from stuff like footprints or tire treads or whatever. In those areas Houdini can't be beat.

> I’m assuming for ‘regular’ 3D modelling people still prefer other software like blender/max right?

It depends. I'm not sure if Houdini has modeling stuff, it's been a while since I used it. Houdini is only one element of a complete workflow, that's why it has so many importers and exporters.
Invoking Popper's paradox of tolerance is misjudged IMHO, because the PSF doesn't aim to maximise liberty. Instead it aims to create a welcoming environment for everyone, and that involves adding restrictions that go beyond what is necessary to prevent a descent into fascism.

Hum but English has simpler features that make it easier to learn than most languages. Sure, the phonetic is hard and I'll always have an accent and people will always just guess my country at the first sentence I utter, but:

- nouns have no gender !!!!

- conjugation is extremely simple (only one variation for 3rd person singular for most verbs!!)

- tenses are limited !

- vocabulary is 40% French-Latin and 60% Germanic, most of Europe and America can use the subset they prefer

- the writing is latin, simple to learn, complete enough to describe well the sounds

- the native community is immense, with a large interesting cultural body of work, making it interesting to learn

- it's easy to start communicating but it can be extremely rich in higher levels of language: you start talking quickly and then can move to beautiful structures later: there is a quick reward and a long term reward

There is nothing unfortunate it became default, there is simply no better lingua franca today. We could try Japanese or Chinese, Hindi or Spanish, but they all have way more quirks and way less qualities !

I strongly reject people saying that English became default by historical chance, it could have stayed French, moved to German or Spanish, it SHOULD be Chinese, but all of them are too hard for adults to learn as quickly as English and never as rewarding. Just think of the time it takes to learn an ideogram-based writing system, all that to end up able to read only communist propaganda or very old poetry for instance...
