That isn’t applicable here. Telegram isn’t encrypted and yet they refused to comply with subpoenas. Companies whose customer data is encrypted can truthfully say that they have no way to access it for law enforcement. Telegram can’t.

Maybe in the future, creators of encrypted messaging apps will get locked up. I certainly hope not. But this case doesn’t indicate anything one way or another.

Too much talk going on without actually hearing the charges.
I'm a bit confused.

It's a bit difficult to dissect, but long story short, in the middle of the post the author finally provides the reason for them embarking on the journey mentioned in the title:

> The main issue (...) is that, by the time C++ is introduced into the bootstrap chain, the bootstrap is basically over. So if you wanted to use Rust at any point before C++ is introduced, you’re out of luck. So, for me, it would be really nice if there was a Rust compiler that could be bootstrapped from C. Specifically, a Rust compiler that can be bootstrapped from TinyCC, while assuming that there are no tools on the system yet that could be potentially useful.

However, this contradicts the premise they lay out earlier in the post:

> Every new version of rustc was compiled with the previous version of rustc. So rustc version 1.80.0 was compiled with rustc version 1.79.0. Which was, in turn, compiled with rustc version 1.78.0. And so on and so forth, all the way back to version 0.7 if the compiler. At that point, the compiler was written in OCaml. So all you needed was an OCaml compiler to get a fully functioning rustc program. (...) There is a project that can *successfully* compile the OCaml compiler using Guile, which is one of the many variants of Scheme, which is one of many variants of Lisp. Not to mention, Guile’s interpreter is written in C.

The contradiction of course is that then there is a path that is without C++ like they want it to, it's just not the one that the rustc team uses day-to-day. The author even claims that it actually works (see the emphasis I placed).

So I'm ultimately not entirely sure about the motivation here. Is the goal to create a nicer C based bootstrapping process? Is the goal to do that and have that eventually become the day-to-day way rustc is bootstrapped? Why does the author want to get rid of the C++ stage? Why does the author prefer to have a C stage?

The only thing that's clear then is that the author just wants to do this period, and that's fine. But otherwise, even after reading through their fairly lengthy post, I'm none the wiser.
Sure, for you it isn't. It is for me. Especially if we're talking "working roughly as intended" programs.
yep, when the police first stopped and attacked Tyre Nichols they had body cams on and thus only tasered and "slightly" roughed him up. When he ran away for his life and was later caught and methodically beaten do death by the police we have only security camera video from a nearby pole. If not for that video, Tyre would have died while supposedly "attempting to grab police gun" as those 5 or so police guys wrote in their falsified reports.
>Mail out ballots then require an ID when you turn it in. Make it easier to get an ID if that's a problem. It seems pretty simple to me. Not sure why anyone would be against this.

There needs to be accountability when it comes to voting. Mail is not acceptable for voting, especially if you make it as inconvenient as voting in person.

What I would like is to make voting day a holiday. Then we can put all these absurd arguments about how people can't get to the polls with valid ID to rest. Let the people who must work on election day vote early. Vote on paper, none of this unaccountable and glitchy electronic garbage. We have more tech than ever and our elections take longer to count than those in countries that use paper.

Do you realize that the linked Wikipedia post agrees with the article? It lists Ultima Online as one of two likely sources for the term "sharding."
Is it ok to use GPUs like the A4000 or RTX 3060 as inference servers?
When it comes to inference using cloud services, Tesla T4 GPUs are often used, but they are not cheap.
It seems that creating a server room with A4000 workstations or RTX 3060 notes might be more cost-effective, but this could potentially violate Nvidia's terms and conditions.

On the other hand, there are cloud services that advertise that using the A4000 for inference is acceptable.
Does this mean that while support from Nvidia might not be available, it is implicitly tolerated by Nvidia?
What makes this any different than other buffer implementations that have a max size? Buffer fills, writes block. What failure mode are you worried about that can't occur with pipes which are also
bounded?
Thanks for your insightful comment. I'll read the links later.

I had just assumed that RNNs were TC, didn't think of limitation put on by bounded precision since I assumed that any bounded precision could be compensated by growing memory module.

So, after your comment, I went literature searching and I found this: https://papers.nips.cc/paper_files/paper/2021/hash/ef452c63f...

I haven't read it yet. But if it is true, then RNN would seem to be TC

You're missing Tor, and metadata reducing messaging like https://cwtch.im/

Also Mullvad Browser is a worthy addition given that its basically Tor Browser with the VPN instead of Tor-gateway. Same excellent metadata reduction tweaks, and you don't have to configure anything.

Oh and since this is against APTs my work might be useful for messaging: https://github.com/maqp/tfc It's as close to NSA-proof you can get. Naturally, if the government parks their flower van across the street and grabs your keyboard cable's spurious radio waves* or installs a cam in your house you're SoL, but otherwise you should be pretty good.

I'm not an expert on this stuff, so I'm not sure what's the answer. But this article says that about 90% of pharma marketing dollars are spent on marketing to doctors, not to consumers: https://www.pewtrusts.org/en/research-and-analysis/fact-shee... So it seems like pharma companies are mostly spending money on R&D and on advertising to doctors, not on direct-to-consumer advertising.

> Believe it or not, taxes are not necessary for running a government.

I think even proponents of modern monetary theory even think taxes are necessary, although from the perspective of MMT governments can fund programs by printing money and only need to use taxes to control inflation.

I suppose under that perspective the government could simply print extra money and distribute it selectively to control who is affected by inflation, but that would be a fairly unusual approach even by the standards of MMT which is fairly controversial.

Otherwise, you need some type of taxes for anything that requires government spending, and essentially everyone who believes that governments should exist wants at least some forms of government spending.

I thought that was the whole point?
Each party has its own reasons to prefer one policy or the other. But admit it. We should not let people vote without ID because it makes fraud possible. Why doesn't the anti-ID party say instead that they agree with fighting fraud and they want to ensure that people can easily get an ID if they are legitimate? I think we can infer that their fighting basic ID requirements is evidence of their proclivity for fraud.

Imagine saying the same thing about license plates lol. "We want to provide economic opportunity for people disenfranchised by the bureaucracy of the DMV!" But do you want to live in a world where unregistered/uninsured cars on the road are acceptable? The same applies to voting without ID. Getting an ID is one of the simplest things an adult can do, and modern life de facto requires having one.
Yeah, that's one part of it. The other part of gaming the interview is networking. It gives you a massive advantage if you're posting into a role and the hiring manager or someone on the team knows you. It has nothing to do with your performance vs the performance of the other candidates. The other candidates might be just as nice to work with. This creates a ton of potential bias in your favor (aka gaming).
How did they remove "the package" for this one? The usual sodium hydroxide or?
I think the OP's proposal has buffering.

It is different from a pipe - instead of using read/write to copy data from/to a kernel buffer, it gives user space a mapped buffer object and they need to take care to use it properly (using atomic operations on the head/tail and such).

If you own the code for the reader and writer, it's like using shared memory for a buffer. The proposal is about standardizing an interface.

This isn't fully accurate. You can backup your Signal messages on Android with an encrypted file and a key you control. So yes, just installing on a new device isn't going to give you history. I'd prefer they offer a universal structure for that backup file so we could easily switch between Android and iOS and have some way to backup your data at all on iOS (presently if anything goes wrong when setting up a new phone you lose your entire message history).
I wouldn't say very supportive at all. It often gets bashed whenever some news about it is posted on r/rust for example.

Yes! You got the icon with the oval windows! Now try this in your emulatiom: if you named a disk '.Sony' you can kiss the data good bye. The drivers name is '.sony' too. Someone named their hard disk '.' and that was the beginning of multiple software problems.
Maybe. But personally, I hate running all my actual software in docker or a VM. It chews through drive space, slows down IO, and it makes sharing files around a headache. (Like, run tool X on directory Y - oh, oops - the tool and the data are in different containers. Ugh what was the command to fix that?).

I'd much rather a "native" linux distro that has a reasonably modern kernel, with support for io_uring and recent nvidia drivers. And I want a good, modern window manager with hidpi support. And I need to be able to install modern compilers, toolchains and software - like rustc, intellij, nodejs, spotify, firefox, davinci resolve, zfs, automatic1111 and so on.

Maybe these problems wouldn't show up as much with another distro? But if I spend time distro shopping to avoid tinkering with mint, I'm worried I'll end up wasting more time doing that than I would save. Most of the bugs I've run into with mint are actually bugs in ubuntu, that mint is based on. Is fedora / arch / etc really more stable than ubuntu? If I use a dinosaur, I'm worried I'll then need to work around its issues - can I easily install modern lldb on an old distro with an ancient glibc? I've tried that before, and it was a huge headache.
VPN active, by chance?
Unless you can prove (e.g. using your old device or a recovered signing key) that the new device is yours. In that case, if the service supports it, the new device could automatically ask your contacts to re-send the old messages using the new device's public key.
I think that's a very creepy cultish point of view. You can easily be manipulated by corrupt science you don't have a PhD level understanding in. Why do you distrust your intuition?

> Companies whose customer data is encrypted can truthfully say that they have no way to access it for law enforcement. Telegram can’t.

I dunno man, kinda seems like you ought to either have a right to privacy or not. Surely there's other ways to make a case, without extraordinarily abusable legal strong-arming.

Why should a wealthy person be able to legally afford encrypted communication on a secure device, when 90+% of people can't because they're poor and tech illiterate?

Does our historically unequal society need more information and rights asymmetry between rich and poor? Between privileged and marginalized?

> it's also undeniable that as a coordination mechanism the EU has been spectacularly successful.

I get you like the EU, but "spectacularly sucessful" isn't something many people would use. See covid response, and Ukraine war response. I would describe EU's mechanisms as moderately successful, i.e. somewhat better if states did everything on their own and bilaterally.

> The fact that people treat it as a national government is proof of that.

People with triste knowledge of how EU works do that. I do not think having most people in dark about how EU works is "spectacularly successful".

Just for the lulz I'm writing a C compiler in Rust as a hobby, and it is humorously called "Small C Compiler", a call back to "Tiny C Compiler" because Rust is obviously more heavyweight than C.

It uses Cranelift as a back end, but the whole compiler architecture is pluggable and hackable with lots of traits throwing around. I do not intend to open source it unless it works on a somewhat functional stage to be able to handle printf("%s", "Hello World!"), so until then, it will never see the light of day.

I've not been able to make too much progress, but I've tried to implement the preprocessor and parser, and I have been involved on rust-peg and HimeCC because of the infamous typedef problem. I know that in the industry we just use a symbol table to keep the typedef context, but that had a limitation of not able to read types below. I wonder what is the academic solution to that as well, and I can only think of transactional memory.

Anything that helps would eventually make me open source it!

> Anyone who is conscientious and capable can navigate the traditional banking system too. In fact, that's pretty much what "capable" means.

This is a funny contrast, under the article above... and the thousands of similar horror stories with centralized custodians ignoring their "customer" and never being held accountable for their shortcomings.

It seems to be more than being capable when it comes to banking, it might just be that you need to be rich/powerful enough for the banks to actually care. Another difference with Bitcoin, the same access is provided to anyone. The almost 2 billions of unbanked people on this planet are not this way because banks can't reach them, but because they are seen as liabilities/risks they don't want... Bitcoin does not make such discrimination.

> You can even start your own bank, and then you can keep your deposits there and you will have a 100% guarantee that your bank will not screw you.

I do not understand how this is supposed to address my point about trustlessness on a scale. You don't describe a system as Bitcoin by holding you own deposits... it is a full system for transfers/payments/messaging. It seems like a diversion to not address the fact that the trust put in custodian is not comparable to a system based on self-custody and self-sovereignty like Bitcoin.

> But that has nothing to do with control,

It absolutely does for Bitcoin. Nobody is following the chain that changes the emission rate and supply cap. This is control by the participants of the network, and it isn't limited to miners, we have seen users and other economical actors signify this to miners when there was an attempt to fork to larger blocks. Please show me how you can make such choices with fiat, the end users have generally no direct say on the policies of their money's central bank.
This is giving me such Beowulf Cluster deja vu
From a quick search right now, the term seems to have come from that same system, but the first reference appears to be older than 1988. It looks to be possibly 1985.

Following this link here: https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2021/06/where-is-the-original-overv...

In a comment at the bottom it references a paper published by a few people working jointly with Computer Corporation of America, MIT & Boston University.

If you view that referenced paper "Correctness Conditions for Highly Available Databases" by N. Lynch, B. Blaustein & M. Siegel (https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/pdfs/ADA171427.pdf), and look at section 1.2 it clearly describes "SHARD: (System for Highly Available Replicated Data)" as being underdevelopment at CCA. It also says if you want to learn more about Shard, see the paper's reference [SBK]. Checking out the references section of that paper it lists the following for [SBK]:

Sarin, S. K., Blaustein, B. T., and Kaufman, C. W., "System Architecture for Partition Tolerant Distributed Databases," IEEE Transactions on Computers C-34, 12 (December 1985). pp. 1158-1163.

Which means there was a paper published in 1985, describing the in development Shard system.

It is possible that in 1985 they hadn't yet named the system "Shard", and it only got that name by 1988 - but it'd be interesting to check out that 1985 paper and see if they used the term Shard at all.

I don’t understand what you are saying. If police didn’t have the authority to use violence then everyone would be against body cams? I mean they wouldn’t be the police if that were so.

Besides one of the people who are for body cams is the police themselves. (Many of them at least). They have to deal with all sort of people. Some are okay. Some are scheming liars, who make up all kind of grievances. The body cam is protecting the officers from the lies of this second kind of people.
