Indeed. I am very happy with some of the tricks that I developed (speeding up, and indeed allowing, Solaris C++ linking by prefiltering on MD5 hashes of canonicalised .o files -> nm, anyone?) even though they were lost without trace (yep, Lehman Brothers, where are my Imakefiles now?)...

Yeah, I use PhotoSync to sync back to FileRun. FileRun places all files in a basic share, which I access by smb on-prem and via FileRun's webdav server elsewhere. When I'm at home, transferring over LAN direct to storage was the fastest option for offloading volleyball videos, which I can then promptly share with others without waiting for upload to a service like iCloud or OneDrive.
Here’s the rub though: convincing customers to pay for something they used to think they got as part of the hardware package isn’t going to be easy.

People love the seamless integration of hardware, software, and services that Apple provides, but introducing a mandatory yearly fee would erode that goodwill pretty much instantly.

It would be more or less impossible to pull off.

As a Pole, my biggest anxiety is that Poland will give in and become like the rest of the West.

If they let in migrants (even so many Ukrainians is a problem IMO), if they give in to "diversity is a strength", if they give into equality of outcome instead of equality of opportunity.... The country will be lost.

Not sure about Ford, but the website you cited also has a scathing review of Toyota, but toyota claims to have an opt out[1][2]. I guess you're technically right in the sense that all cars have the functionality built-in, but it's still possible to have a car without such tracking.

There is a partial solution to this problem: use formal methods such as symbolic logic and theorem proving to check the LLM output for correctness. We are launching a semantic validator for LLM-generated SQL code at sql.ai even now. (It checks for things like missing joins.) And others are using logic and math to create LLMs that don't hallucinate or have safety nets for hallucination, such as Symbolica. It is only when the LLM output doesn't have a correct answer that the technical issues become complicated.

I wonder how the situation compares to South Korea, which has been quite economically successful despite being in low level conflict with NK with a constant risk of escalation. Compared to that I feel like Poland is in a much better situation but I really don't know details. Israel might be another good comparison too.
And what would you have them do instead? SSL to every service? Reauthenticate on every single call? What’s your clever solution?

There’s probably a dozen things you can terminate at a boundary that would cost so much to run through the entire system that it would bankrupt a company.

And then there’s tracing, which also uses headers.

I really love your idea of doing content hash for (permanent?) cache. I'll definitely do that. Right now we use a semi-permanent cache, but sometimes we screw up and it really bites us. If it is hashed you know for sure it is permanent. It reminds of IPFS, but for your little corner of the internet :D

>> I found Warsaw’s cafes especially excellent

I was in south east Poland for the last 2 weeks and the cafes I went to there were definitely a cut above what I’m used to in the UK.

The article doesn’t mention how good the roads and rail have become. When I first went to Poland about 20 years ago I spent all day on a train that stopped at farm fields and travelled no faster than 20mph. The main roads I drove on were hilariously bad, utterly destroyed by long lines of HGV trucks. Even many roads in more affluent areas like around Krakow were poorly engineered (flooding).

The roads this time were massively better. I still found plenty of old bad roads in more rural areas but the top tier roads (autostrada) are better than anything we have in the UK. The tier below that are generally better than most motorways current state of repair in the Uk - but it helps that the Polish high speed roads (~120kph - where the top tier autostrada are 140kph) are just better designed.

Now there’s high speed high quality rail (again quite a bit better than my experience in the UK), maybe the old PkP rolling stock is still there somewhere but I only saw modern high speed or freight trains.
Yeah, if that's what you mean, this just isn't expensive. If you do a lot of consulting for HIPAA companies, you get HIPAA-trained a bunch (ie: you fast-forward through a lot of videos with an HTML5 video playback speed hack). They're not a big deal; maybe a hundred or two per seat?

It's not my impression that HIPAA is one of the more burdensome regs regimes, and this comment sort of reinforces that belief.
You can read/write to GPU buffers with gpudev in DPDK yes. It also uses some of the infrastructure that powers GPUDirect (namely the page pinning and address translation). Because you can use the addressable memory in DPDK buffer steering you can have the NIC DMA to/from the GPU and then have a GPU kernel coordinate with your DPDK application. This will be pretty fast on a good lossless datacentre network but probably pretty awful over the Internet. In the DC though it will be beaten by real GPUDirect on RDMA naturally as you don't need the DPDK coordinator and all tx/rx can be driven by the GPU kernel instead.

This isn't GPUDirect though, that is an actual product.

Because Hayek's individual choice is an illusion. It's a failed idea.

If you're a parent, you know that choice structuring is a powerful tool in coercing children to do what you want. "Do you want to do your homework before or after lunch?" isn't a choice to do one's homework or not. That decision has been made for the child.

We should not be so arrogant to assume that we're beyond that. Individual choice in the context of the market place simply isn't. Too much money is on the line. Our choices are structured for us and we are their children.

We use this feature and it's actually been pretty handy. I still require my devs to write their own PR description (because of course they should), but it does give a few suggestions for things to look into as they review. Occasionally it's pointed out a few things I might have missed. But at least half of the suggestions are obviously off base, so I can't imagine trusting it to actually do the review.
There is FxHashMap (https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc-hash) which is faster than std::collections::HashMap.

I think it's probably business case and revenue potential, not practical usefulness. I felt like Interix was plenty useful but probably couldn't earn its keep. I think that pluggable personalities even exists in NT speaks to the general Microsoft embrace / extend / extinguish methodology. They were a means to an end to win contracts.
Thanks eFortis? I guess this mainly for security and separation of concerns?
And it's sentiments like these that give me a pause about investing in Poland.

There's no guarantee that voters like this guy won't vote in a PiS or a PiS-style populist due to nativist sentiment as well as anger at non-redistributive development (Warsaw/Lodz/Gdansk/Wclow vs everyone else), and as a result the Polish govt ends up having to give us additional tax breaks and holidays to minimize our concerns (great for us, not as great for Poles).
AI seems to be used to find websites that may give a backlink, and GenAI to write the email- “Customized outreach templates”
I'm not sure I follow? Does rust not have the equivalent of a LinkedHashMap from Java? All I'm proposing is to start each map of headers off with a sentinel value for all of the headers you don't intend to send back to the client. Then, have a method that iterates over all values, for the places you need to send to internal servers, and another (probably the default?) that starts iteration after all of the internal items, which should just be a different pointer. At this point, there is no need to inspect each header by name, as that was effectively done at compile time when you put the protected headers at the front of the list.

Is this somewhat special? I mean, sure. But it wasn't long ago that a hash table was already in the special territory of data structures.

Edit: I should add that I'm not certain this idea would be better. Just more ideas on what you could do.
Because LLMs strip away all the context surrounding the information it spits out that let you evaluate its trustworthiness. They're incredibly useful tools, I use them constantly when coding but I can do that because I know enough to validate the information and it happens that the cost of validating the output with the docs is shorter than reading them to find the relevant functions.

I wouldn't dare try to use an LLM for a chemistry question because I wouldn't be able to tell if it makes any sense or not. But if you're not a "tech person" and all you see is some company advertising their AIs as magical knowledge engines with disclaimer text that wouldn't pass accessibility tests, why wouldn't you assume they know their stuff? The Perplexity ads are bordering on negligent.
I really don't think that follows, especially if Russia pursued the same strategy it has for decades now of generating a low level insurgency that it heavily supports but does not overtly participate in.
The point I'm making is that a specially optimized hashing function would probably blow away any trie traversal. When you know the data being hashed before hand it is possible to make custom hash functions that are as simple as a few bitwise operations on the first, middle and last character of the string (just an example).
I think these sort of mental math tricks are mostly useful when you have a case where you’ve got a formula that you often have to run, and it is similar enough every time that you can pre-do the algebra.

The one everyone knows is calculating a tip (bump the decimal place left once and double the result, round depending on how nice you feel). Might be applied multiple times per day, depending on your dining habits.

I bet the formulae you had to use on your tests were worth doing by hand.

I had brief stints in state and county government doing policy work, and I remember a piece of advice for how you want to do work like Marks': you want to be high enough in goverment that you can make an impact, work with interesting problems in the real world – but not high enough that you get affected by regular changes in elected leadership, with eventually reverberate down the hierarchy. But in public service the compensation for doing good work is really just the ability to do more of that work, without being bothered too much about having to accumulate a fat CV (either in academia or industry).

Except Microsoft has said they have new Xbox hardware coming.

We really need to stop spreading this misinformation (and hyperbole) just because Microsoft is operating a different business model than Sony is.

I am not happy about the price either, but this generation has been weird with Microsoft and Sony not dropping their price and increasing prices in some locations. I doubt this has anything to do with Xbox.

My personal (overly biased view after reading Chip War recently) take is pretty much there, seems like a lot of the same early dynamics of semiconductors are playing out here.

Very large R&D expenditures for the next iterations of the models at the leading edge (the "fabs" of the world), everything downstream getting much cheaper and better with demand increasing as a result.

Like a world where Claude Opus 3.5 is incredibly expensive to train and run, but also results in a Claude Haiku that's on net better than the Opus of the prior generation, occurring every cycle.
> bet this wouldn't be happening if Elon Musk wasn't shitposting on twitter, and particularly, doing it in a way that pisses off liberals/progressives

I mean, yes, though to imagine it’s just the left Elon has disappointed is naïve. Musk went from representing a paragon of American industry to something much less. Being a paragon is powerful, in part because it’s undefined.

Being a partisan political agitator has its own power, but it’s much easier to constrain and counter because there’s a playbook for that. (Witness, for example, how Musk was given a singular free pass on his relationship with China, but now isn’t able to push back on either party’s China policy.)

I don't think people use "bullshitting" interchangably with "lying". I'm partial to this characterization:

So bullshitting isn’t just nonsense. It’s constructed in order to appear meaningful, though on closer examination, it isn’t. And bullshit isn’t the same as lying. A liar knows the truth but makes statements deliberately intended to sell people on falsehoods. bullshitters, in contrast, aren’t concerned about what’s true or not, so much as they’re trying to appear as if they know what they’re talking about. ... [W]hen people speak from a position of disproportionate confidence about their knowledge relative to what little they actually know, bullshit is often the result. [1]

I don't know for other countries, but for the United States, "medical students are no longer choosing it" is very very untrue, and it is trivial to look up as this information is public from the NRMP (the organization that runs the residency match).

Radiology remains one of the most competitive and in-demand specialties. In this year's match, only 4 out of ~1200 available radiology residency positions went unfilled. Last year was 0. Only a handful of other specialties have similar rates.

As comparison, 251 out of ~900 pediatric residency slots went unfilled this year. And 636 out of ~5000 family medicine residency slots went unfilled. (These are much higher than previous years.)

However, I do somewhat agree with the speaker's sentiment if for a different reason. Radiologist supply in the US is roughly stable (thanks to the US's strange stranglehold on residency slots), but demand is increasing: the number of scans ordered on a per patient continues to rise, as does the complexity of those scans. I've heard of hospital systems with backlogs that result in patients waiting months for, say, their cancer staging scan. One can hope we find some way to make things more efficient. Maybe AI can help.
