I don't quite get the arguments against the topic at all: if you don't want the added security, you can continue as you do now; and if you do want it, then you can compile and sign the entire software chain yourself; or get the precompiled one. Don't seem like there are any downsides here, or are there?

Maybe this is a revelation to…someone? I don’t know why Eugene Fama saying this in 2024 is considered news. The guys entire body of research since the 1960s is about market inefficiencies.

Amazing that 100 years later we’re still unable to grasp the nuance of the efficiency idea.

We settled this one forever ago, but somehow armchair internet commenters still think they can zing the entire field of economics by saying “lol you guys still think people are efficient robots.” Cool 1940s insult, bro.

Yes, obviously markets aren’t perfectly efficient and nobody believes they are. But they trend toward efficiency over time. Ignore this at your own peril.

A kilometre of a 1GW HVDC ground line costs $0.7-1mln. Double or triple that for sea lines[0].

China has had 2000km+ lines online for years now, so there's precedent. Not for solar specifically, but plainly to connect distant grids.

We have huge fiber optic connectors wrapping the planet, so there's precedent here as well.

Overall a global solar grid is technically feasible and actually not terribly expensive, but we need to solve the political issues preventing it first.

EDIT [0] for comparison highways cost $4mln per kilometre in the US and double to triple that in the EU.

Neither have I; and no, I don't - I misinterpreted what you said.

But I don't see why LSP servers shouldn't support this, still. I'm not sure if the LSP specification allows for this as of current, though.
So many comments think that Filho's complaints are about the kernel developers rejection of Rust, but in the video referenced he is asking the kernel developers to explain what the changes are, the semantics not the actual code.

There is a real problem if kernel developers cannot take the time to explain the semantics. Trying to explain something to others is how you can be sure you understand it yourself.

If the developers of these filesystems cannot explain the semantics, how can they be certain they know what they are really doing?

So it raises the question - how much of the stuff going in the kernel is properly understood by its developers?

People don't use LSP?
This is just someone arguing their opinion is objectively right, with terrible reasoning.
I mean, you obviously can get them, they just often come out substantially behind the LHD models, and some of the other (many) manufacturers may not ever provide them. Which, to be fair, has been a problem in ICE cars too.

For example, it's not clear if the Xiaomi SU7 is planned to have a RHD variant.
Good job of engaging with the arguments why the author thinks so.
Pgllm: Use LLMs in Postgres
It's nothing new. Equally bad, but not new..
I am firmly against the suggested changes. I love grepping through code too (often using -A -B -C), but I also like browsing the code, with tools where you can just click on a function and see its definition.

However, changing how the code should be written so that grepping becomes easier is optimizing for the wrong target. It is much more important that the code is easily readable and maintainable.

In addition, some tools are designed explicitly for grepping through code (from the top of my head ack is an example). If grep doesn't work, one should try a more sophisticated tool instead of using different coding styles.

Fiber can indeed be used in a way that is close to coax, or twisted pair, or whatever. It just takes a different [block diagram] of stuff at each end for either configuration.

It's not inherently digital at all.

One of the earliest fiber implementations I ever saw the back end of with my own eyes was a municipal camera system. These were NTSC composite cameras with media converters to convert the electrical signals (over coax) to light signals (over fiber).

It was analog, and dated to 1987 when the building was built. That kind of thing was not new even at that point and did not even begin to push the limits of the mediums.

(And "digital" signals, too: We may tend to think of them as just on/off 1s and 0s, but they're seldom actually that simple in high-speed* signalling systems -- whether electrical or optical.)

There's a project here proposing to transport 1.75GW across 5000km between Australia and Singapore.

The project is reported as costing $30 billion (22.6 billion USD) - but I think that also includes a 12,000 hectare solar farm and a bias battery as well.

Why would prices go negative, when you can just cut off the solar plant from the grid if prices go <= 0?
This is south London.

But also, it's just obvious from the words in the phrase. I assume that outside toilets were often just wooden shacks, so a brick one is notable for its robustness.

Amazon really is the worst. I feel like some of their practices are probably outright forbidden in the EU. They often offer me a one month free trial of Prime, which I accept. I then cancel the free trial immediately, so that I don't forget about it. To cancel, I have to go through multiple screens, and they suggest that I should cancel towards the end of my free month instead of now, even though it doesn't seem to make a difference (I still keep prime till the end of the month, even if I cancel right away).

> The premise of this website and articles like https://yosefk.com/blog/how-profilers-lie-the-cases-of-gprof... just show that the authors are using the wrong tools. It is nowadays relatively easy to also look at off-CPU time when profiling with perf (e.g. https://github.com/KDAB/hotspot/?tab=readme-ov-file#off-cpu-...).

I think, firstly, that spending 15s trying the CTRL-c approach is a worthwhile tradeoff. If you don't find anything, then sure, spend another 30m - 60m setting up perf, KDAB, etc. Maybe more if you're on an embedded device.

Secondly, the author seems to say that he's used this on embedded devices with no output but a serial line for the debugger. This is also a 15s effort[1].

It's basically a very low effort task, takes seconds to determine if it worked or not, and if it doesn't work you've only lost a few seconds.

[1] I'm assuming that if you're developing on a device supporting a serial GDB connection, you've already got the debugger working.

Both of those are easy to fix. You'll adapt quickly if you pick a different convention.

Additionally, I find that in practice such "unusual" code is actually beneficial - it often makes it easy to see at a glance that the code is somehow in sync with some external spec. Especially when it comes to implicit usages such as in (de)serialization, noticing that quickly is quite valuable.

I'd much rather trash every languages' coding conventions than use subtly different names for objects serialized and shared across languages. It's just a pain.
And as with most big structural issues in the US, the answer is right there and obvious for everyone wanting to look for it: severely restrict campaign spending, ban PACs and the like, and boom, the election process and government in general will become much less beholden to money interests.

Nothing the author wrote would necessarily make code harder to read or maintain. Consistent naming of the same thing throughout, not constructing variables or table names dynamically, etc. benefit both readers/maintainers and searching.

I understood “grepping” to mean ripgrep (rg) or ack, not just plain grep. I think programmers who use command line tools or vim know about those. VSCode uses rg.
This breaks down at scale and across languages. All the FAANGs make heavy use of the equivalent of grepping in their code base
To some degree it's true unless nocode/lowcode platforms will adapt to the situation - I used thing called Xano for a bit recently and will use them as the example of very poor adaptation (so far). Their insistence on being "no code" as much as possible became really annoying and tedious after a while - some examples:

* through multiple iterations of back and forth with LLM assistant I can get DB schema but there is no way to import whole schema with relations, indexes, views described with SQL statements into that nocode app - extremely annoing to have "manually", tediously click and recreate the thing

* same with their drag&drop "functions" stacks builder - very annoying to fiddle around and click click click when in the back of your head you have "damn, llm could generate that block of code in 1m and be done"

* don't even get me started with their custom DSL "expressions" - yet another thing not usable anywhere outside of their platform, despite potential and usefulness I have absolutely no incentives to try to learn that

At this point I really think that I would be faster with code and LLM than this nocode DBaaS
I understand that economists are essentially saying that the markets are efficient in the sense that public information is factored into the price of assets in real time. My issue with this idea is that many human beliefs are founded on collective delusions. The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent. So the distinction in the definitions of efficiency doesn't matter since public information and knowledge is highly flawed. What does it mean if incorrect assumptions are factored into the price? It doesn't make sense to call that efficient.
I fully agree that being topless at the beach is fine and cool, do whatever you like there. I also agree with the poster above who said it feels slightly weird to share a picture of that with people in a work environment.
The way I have seen this is that single letter variables are mostly used when declaration and (all) usages are very close together.

If I see a loop with i or k, v then I can be fairly confident that those are an Index or a Key Value pair. Also I probably don't need to grep them since everything interacting with these variables is probably already on my screen.

Everything that has a wider scope or which would be unclear with a single letter is named with a more descriptive name.

Of course this is highly dependent on the people you work with, but this is the way it works on projects I have worked on.

Why would anyone finance an innovative company if financing companies yourself was always less profitable in the longer term than passively investing (which is what efficient market hypothesis is about)?

In fact if the EMH was true, then all hope for financing innovative companies would come from delusional investors making the sub-optimal choice of investing there. How “efficient”.

The risks according to the article are that these modern stories of alien visition could:

- encourage conspiracy theories, which could undermine trust in democratic institutions

- get in the way of legitimate science communication

- threaten to overwrite indigenous storytelling

From an anthropological view, myths of supernatural or superhuman beings are the norm, rather than any unique phenomenon arising from modern society. Many religions have stories of gods, angels, or ancestors who live among the stars and visit the earth on occasion.

Are religions a "serious problem" in our society? Some would argue yes, especially as such stories can compete for mindshare with the worldview and narrative of science.

What about traditional myths and legends? Or astrology and other non-scientific metaphysical beliefs? Fantasy and science fiction? I guess this last one is not a problem since people know it's for entertainment and don't actually believe in them.
It is if you factor in the fact that innovative companies need some kind of financing to begin with, and that if the EMH was true, then it would be irrational for any investor to fund them.
Wow, that's one of the most orange tag-rich posts I've ever seen.

We're doing a lot of tests with GPT-4o at NewsCatcher. We have to crawl 100k+ news websites and then parse news content. Our rule-based model for extracting data from any article works pretty well, and we never could find a way to improve it with GPT.

"Crawling" is much more interesting. We need to know all the places where news articles can be published: sometimes 50+ sub-sections.

Interesting hack: I think many projects (including us) can get away with generating the code for extraction since the per-website structure rarely changes.

So, we're looking for LLM to generate a code to parse HTML.

Happy to chat/share our findings if anyone is interested: artem [at] newscatcherapi.com
In all its excitement this post just glosses over one major point that grid operators know very well: demand == supply for every 50th or 60th of each second of every day.

Renewables like solar that can not be modulated are a PITA for grid safety as those plants that instead can, such as coal and gas, then need to scale for solar suddenly dumping energy into the grid.

Day-before markets exists for this sole reason.
Perhaps the text itself is functioning as working memory.

Both ADHD people and neurotypicals have deeply structured thoughts. "Serializing" those thoughts without planning ahead leads to the "stream of consciousness" writing style, which includes things like run-on sentences and deeply nested parentheses. This style is considered poor form, because it is hard to follow. To serialize and communicate thoughts in a way that avoids this style, it is necessary to plan ahead and rely on working memory to hold several sub-goals simultaneously, instead of simply scanning back through the text to see which parentheses have not been closed yet.

It could also be simply that ADHD people have "branchier" thoughts, hopping around a constellation of related concepts that they feel compelled to communicate despite being tangential to the main point; parentheses are the main lexical construct used to convey such asides.

I'm playing with one now (the full kit) attached to my toy mini PC. It's a little RISC-V device consuming a couple watts. No WiFi yet, but it attaches to PC and emulates 4 things in addition to capturing HDMI output to a web UI:

1. A USB keyboard.

2. A USB mouse.

3. A USB flash drive (using a partition on its internal SD card) for storing bootable ISO to install/rescure systems.

4. A USB NIC which is very neat. I can use it on the PC to expose management SSH port just on that instead of the primary NIC, so that the PC has a sorta dedicated IPMI interface.

Newer versions of the device software come with WireGuard and Tailscale support, so I can just connect to it over VPN.

Still have some minor issues, but the developers are working fast to fix them.

I've honestly never understood how amazon could become the go to site for ordering packages in the US.

It's website is a mess, filled with dark patterns and confusions for the users. The design itself made me literally contemplate whether this is a scam the first time I tried to use it. Complete turn off.

It's no wonder other delivery sites have beat them in different countries (e.g. Digitec in Switzerland, TakeALot in South Africa, etc.).
Conceptually it is akin to having file names that sort well.

Grep is a simple tool, not too different from a simple string sort. It is better than no tool, but is it better than a tool that understands the notation? A strong side of grep is that it is universal and is not tied to a particular notation. Yet if you could easily define a specific notation and have a tool to immediately understand it, would you still prefer grep?

We tend to organize the code according to the tools we have. E.g. if a tool gives us a list of entities in alphabetic order, we will try to name the entities so that they form “logical” groups. This may pass as a local organizational principle and may be useful but it is always intimately coupled with the underlying tool.
perf is easily available through yocto and buildroot (and probably other embedded linux image builders). hotspot can be downloaded as an appimage. It should not take 30-60min to set this up, but granted, learning the tools the first time always has some cost.

Furthermore, note how your reasoning is quite different from what the website you linked to says - it basically says "there are no good tools" (which is untrue) whereas you are saying "manual GDB sampling might be good enough and is easier to setup than a good tool" (which is certainly true).

It's mostly a ridiculous alternative in the here and now. People use Linux, right now, although a fine thing to do. People want a memory safe language to write drivers and filesystems in the kernel, right now. It makes lots of sense to write use Rust in the Linux kernel, right now.

So maybe? It still takes lots of work of make something like that happen?
