Dude, you are amazing. If the rust people are serious about anything, they should support you as much as they can.

You got it all right. Really all. QBE, C without extensions (you should lock the code to C99-ish though, or you will have kiddies introducing ISO C feature creeps then planned obsolescence into your C code on the long run).

C without extensions... where the linux kernel failed hard (and tons of GNU projects... like the glibc): it should have plain assembly replacement (and I mean not using any C compiler inline assembler) and that should compile out-of-the-box with a mere SDK configuration option.

This will be a nearly perfect binary seed for the rust programing language, but you are using QBE, then you get some optimizations... guess what... I did my benchmarks (very basic) with CPROC/QBE and I get ~70% of the speed of latest gcc (tinyCC is 2 times slower than gcc, but its generated assembly code is "neat"/"clean").

All that to say, maybe this project will much more than a binary seed if it becomes a "real life" rust compiler.

The main issue though is the rust syntax itself: heard it is not that stable/finished, and it is on the way to that abomination of c++ syntax complexity. When I tried to read some of latest real life rust syntax, I did not understand anything, and I code mainly C (c++ when I was young brain-washed fool), assembly (rv64/x86_64), this is bad omens.

Oh, and don't forget to provide statically linked binaries for various platforms, you know: the binary seed.

Hey Ege, congratulations on the milestone!
Just closing well known ports will mean less drive-by sniffing. Which is an improvement. Doesn't mean you are now completely safe - it's just an improvement. At the very least it will make your logs smaller, as they won't be as full of drive-by sniffing.

Security is an onion, you can add layers. There is no perfect security. You can add hurdles and hope you make yourself too difficult for you adversary. Some hurdles add more than others, and not using well known ports is on the lesser end of the scale. You might still find it worthwhile, just so you have cleaner logs to sift through.

>I have no idea what happened in Rhodesia

No worries. We all learn bit by bit. But I think you could have a look at it. Many of the security beliefs that you shared above related to Israel are not new, but like all the others they are wrong, and dehumanising. Those so called security issues were backbone of violent colonisation and Genocides. Americas, Africa and Asia alike.

The notion that the rest are savages, who can't govern for their interest and we must do it for them, is not new, and is inhuman and wrong. And it is not even new to Zionism, which after all, has unfolded to be a pretty sophisticated colonisation process.

BTW, Israel never fully disengaged from Gaza, you can look up on Gaza Freedom Floatilla raid. Those are not the actions of a disengaged regime, but a colonialist entity doing crimes in the name of security. And although they are now separated by occupation, Gaza and West Bank are not different people. One can't continue to occupy one region, storm their holy sites, while repressing other region to be a an open air prison, and say that we have disengaged.
It's so amazing that it's frightening !!!!

With that kind of technology, what are the key problem still to be solved before being massively applied to deepfakes ? More specifically:

- how much datas (pictures or video) of the "target" is needed to use this ? Does it requires a specific lighting, a lot of different poses... or is it possible to just use some "online" videos (found on tiktok for example) or to record the "target" in the street with a phone ? How is it to create a "virtual doppelganger" ?

- when there is a "target" model, is it possible to use this in realtime ? How much power would it need ? A small laptop ? A big machine in the cloud ? Only a state-sponsored infrastructure ?

It looks like this technology has a real potential to "impersonate" anybody really efficiently

The best thing I know about Olivetti, is that nearby my city, there is a small village, where there are houses, schools, nurseries, etc. and Olivetti production centers, where Olivetti's employees were living, it is a great concept to be an innovative company, but also really think about the wellbeing of your employees, that is now lost, now they maybe give you a pizza, some ping pong, and as soon as you're not useful, you're just discarded, the american system is a disgrace
We do have a specialist time-series index, optimised for things like tick-data. It compresses fairly well but we generally optimise for read-time. Not all over the place random-access, but slicing out date-ranges. There are two layers of index, a high level index of the data-objects, and the index in each object in S3.

A built-in as-of join is something we want to build.
At some point, I had a similar issue (though not related to licensing), and it turned out it was faster to do a high-bitrate H.264-encode of the stream before sending it over the FFmpeg socket than sending the raw RGBA data, even over localhost… (There was some minimal quality loss, of course, but it was completely irrelevant in the big picture.)
I'm not trying to claim Telegram uses grep or whatever. My point is even very active chats on telegram generate somewhat small amount of text data and I dont believe that searching through it require massive complex search engine with super-fast backend.

I basically participate in hundreds of chats and message history doesn't take 10 of GBs. And I also know that search in history of such chats isn't so snappy on older Android phone.

I have yet to see a company fail because the engineering team failed to build, whatever monolith, MEAN, micro services.

It is almost always the product tier that fails to articulate and envision the product and place it on a pedestal where people can immediately and clearly see the value proposition.

I hope that doesn't happen here.

Some good products in this realm would be Hetzner and Scalway for example which is certainly good engineering no doubt but great product management apparently.

The article just says those 30% of people weren't convinced the version with the calculator "would do better", not that it "is a bad idea". Granted, they might have thought that, but it seems quite a leap. They could just have easily thought it would make no difference, or assumed the version with calculator was underperforming because of the cases where it gave the wrong answer.
Okay, I get it now. Lesson plans are something that can only be done on the fly and are more about adapting to things outside the control of the teacher e.g. one lesson took longer due to a disruption in the classroom.

I was wondering why the people who set the curriculum couldn't just make a year's worth of lesson plans and email them to each teacher. Thanks for the explainer (to everyone who replied).

Maybe you are misunderstanding the gravity of this problem. Thanks to US Cloud Act and the Patriot Act and similar acts, there is no way any US citizen or any US company may EVER be involved in such projects. It's completely legal for the US to rely on extraterritorial jurisdiction leveraging any US companies and US citizens they have access to.
But on the other hand, everyone else on out there will want to avoid that, so the only way to achieve that is to avoid involving any US citizens or companies for such sovereign projects.
Google will not be able to solve it via subsidiaries, and no nice promises from Amazon, MS etc. will ever change it.
Data sovereignity means all this.
This will probably escalate a lot more, it might involve the financial infrastructure used (SWIFT) or even currency used in the process.
Great post. A couple questions:

1. Stop losses seem to work [1]. Would it make sense to update your strategy accordingly -- even on indices?

2. Research from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania [2] shows that the buy-and-hold returns of the 500 original firms outperformed the returns on the continually updated S&P 500 index. Could we push the low-stress model a step further and buy the content of current indices instead of the indices themselves?

I’ve heard great things about Cursor and Claude but haven’t tried them yet. I just feel like: how do I even get started?

To me it feels like trying to explain something (for an LLM) is harder than writing the actual code. Either I know what I want to do, and describing things like iteration in English is more verbose than just writing it; or I don’t know what I want to do, but then can’t coherently explain it. This is related to the “rubber duck method”: trying to explain an idea actually makes one either properly understand it or find out it doesn’t make sense / isn’t worthwhile.

For people who experience the same, do tools like Cursor make you code faster? And how does the LLM handle things you overlook in the explanation: both things you overlooked in general, and things you thought were obvious or simply forgot to include? (Does it typically fill in the missing information correctly, incorrectly but it gets caught early, or incorrectly but convincing-enough that it gets overlooked as well, leading to wasted time spent debugging later?)
There is some bad advice in here if you're in the UK. The worst is:

> The bonds, too, should be bought through ETFs rather than directly.

UK gilts are free of CGT, but only if you hold them directly. If you buy an ETF that holds gilts you'll be paying unnecessary tax.

But also:

> Have various other properties, like [...] are accumulating (if possible).

If you buy an accumulating fund then you don't get to use your dividend allowance, but the accumulated part is still taxed as income, which you have to break out from the capital gain and pay tax on separately. So you're making your taxes more complicated and (unless you're already using your dividend allowance elsewhere) you're paying unnecessary tax.
As far as I recall, none of the USB drives of the iMac era could read 400/800K GCR disks, they were PC drives that could only use 720/1440K disks. The Imation SuperDisk drives could also use their own 120MB “floptical” disis. Later versions extended it to 240MB, and could also write 32MB to a standard floppy disk.
MFS refers to the file system used on 400K disks. 800K disks used HFS.

No particular comment regarding the lost dividence allowance -- I was not aware of it.
Both tech savvies and laypeople expect private/encrypted messaging app to provide the basic property that only the sender and the intended recipients can read it. This is achieved with end-to-end encryption. Techies know the term, and can understand it's not present. Non-tech people don't understand, and just rely on word-of-mouth that it's super secure, when it's not.
RISC-V is a mess of dozens of extensions vendors can decide to implement with the option of adding custom instruction as well. The application profiles are recommended sets of extensions to implement for certain use-cases e.g. microcontrollers without operating systems, embedded systems with full operating systems etc.

The base ISA is very minimal resulting in long inefficient code sequences for common GPU tasks. It would be tempting to implement the vector extension and see how well it maps to GPU workloads, but afaik nobody has done this in earnest. The more traditional way would be to implement lots of small cores and extend them with packed SIMD (at least 4x Int32+FP32).
So batching of exercise seems to work. I wonder if this extends to the "summer vacation athlete" activity pattern?
As a developer I’m always surprised that these issues are real.

I’m used to store raw data I receive back from payment processing in my own database as transactional events (e.g. renew, cancel, successful and failed payments ) ends up as single events.
I do the same for all application events and it is then rather easy for me to get the data as I need it for whatever KPI I want (activity, retention, usage) and for very little overhead while building products.

So I’m wondering, is this a result of all the low-/no-code stuff going on?

> It's about having a shorter auditable bootstrap process

Yeah, in 2018 the chain looked like this[1]:

g++ -> mrustc@0.8.0 -> rust@1.19.0 -> rust@1.20.0 -> rust@1.21.0 -> rust@1.22.1 -> rust@1.23.0 -> rust@1.24.1 -> rust@1.25.0 -> rust@1.26.2 -> rust@1.27.2 -> rust@1.28.0

Though for me it's less the auditable part, and more that I would be able to build the compiler myself if I wanted, without jumping through so many unnecessary hoops. For the same reason I like having the source code of programs I use, even if most of the time I just use my package manager's signed executable.

And if someone open sources their program, but then the build process is a deliberately convoluted process, then to me that starts to smell like malicious compliance ("it's technically open source"). It's still a gift since I'd get the code either way, so I appreciate that, but my opinion would obviously be different between someone who gives freedoms to users in a seemingly-reluctant way vs someone who gives freedoms to users in an encouraging way.

Yeah no shit. But sharing cute cat pics deserve human right to privacy. Also, when everything is E2EE, that reduces the metadata about when you say something private. You don't want your opt-in encryption to reveal metadata about how close you are to someone.
> Major annoyance in Germany: If you find a mortar or a hand grenade in your garden. Do not try bring it to the police.

That's not an annoyance, that's common sense.

I mean, I get it, it's not like in Croatia or Bosnia where every child ever since the 90s wars gets "the talk" not about condoms but about "this is how ammunition looks like, and remember that the enemy also placed mines in everyday waste like cola cans or in children toys, DO NOT pick up random stuff you find while playing and stay THE FUCK out of fields and forests marked with 'Pažnja mine' signs"... but hey even in Germany everyone should know that picking up ammunition is one of the dumbest ways to off yourself.

The only ones actually dumb enough to do that are people harvesting leftover ordnance for its explosives or to sell it on to "memorabilia" collectors [1], and headlines like [2] are routine whenever one of these collectors/harvesters either mishandles one of the items or they go off on their own.

Weekend work etc. needs to be approved by a person's manager, so weekend-work without approval would in practice not be compensated (it's possible that technically they should compensate it then fire you for insubordination).

The hurdles for "exempt" are way higher than in the US.

I doubt it is actually done much in practice, although an employee who wants to be left alone on the weekend certainly could. I would also expect that guidance of "don't read your e-mail outside of working hours" would be sufficient to be able to send e-mail to employees at any day or hour without triggering overtime etc.

In the UK, if you buy an accumulating ETF, then the dividends that your share of the ETF receives are considered to be income to you, even though it is automatically reinvested and not directly paid out to you. And thus you have to pay income tax on the dividends that you never see, which is more annoying to calculate than if you just pay income tax on dividends that are directly paid out to you.

And when you finally come to sell, your capital gain calculation is complicated because you now have to account for all these small purchases that you never directly made.

You are plain wrong: those pseudo instructions are few and when written "manually", most of the time, you end up with the same machine code.

The main difference is you don't require a 'mini-compiler' for those pseudo-instructions in the assembler, and I will take that.

And it is certain that compilers emmiting those pseudo-instructions are not "sane", actually it is the other way around (I guess the largest compilers will have a switch anyway).

About RISC-V implementation hardware accelerating some machine code patterns, well this expected to be documented properly by any "sane" RISC-V implementation...
> how likely is it that when you ask a centenarian they will be drinkers and smokers vs abstaining from both?

I don't know but it doesn't matter. How do you know if you are speaking to the right person? And in any case, random old people will have a datapoint of one: themselves. If you need information, take it from good studies, controlled for bias and all that. Any opinion from a single person is worthless as an advice.

Even an educated guess isn't good enough. Nobody actually knows why they're having a long life. If I eat vegetables, sleep well and exercise all my life and have a long life, I won't know if it actually helped and if I wouldn't have lived long without those things. Because I didn't try this alternative life. I can only assume it helped from studies we did on large numbers of people. Only data from a big population will help us find correlation, possibly causality (if not confounding factors).

>Would you live longer than the general population by following the advice of the centenarians?

You used a plural here. That's possible, for a significant number of centenarians, if you control for biases and memory failures. But that's what a scientific study is.
20 times less likely by average? There are a lot less ev on the road.
