"Already done"? Are you suggesting we should have been searching through your past HN comments for anti-Rust content?

Your prior comment notes two issues re: Rust: 1. "A core problem with Rust is the lack of an adequate standard library." and 2. "The problem with Cargo is when you have an application with hundreds of dependencies."

I'd say -- I'm not sure either is a problem in the kernel/the true object of this discussion. Re:1, as you may know, the Rust standard library isn't used re: the kernel. The kernel has its own Rust library, just like C has its own Rust library, klibc. C also has a much smaller standard library than Rust. C has nothing like Rust's collections or C++'s containers. Re: 2, I'm pretty sure the Rust for Linux team doesn't use Cargo for kernel code. The team simply vendors is deps.

The video to which you linked is a reaction video of René Rebe to an article re: Rust. Let's be very clear -- Rene's issue had nothing to do with kernel space programming. Rene discussed Cargo in the context of the userspace tools for bcachefs, and why he doesn't particularly like what he sees as Rust's culture of micro dependencies. He also doesn't like Cargo as a build system, which auto-downloads deps from the cloud. Which is fair enough, but I think we can agree this is not really an issue re: Rust in the Linux kernel.

I would further argue that composition is a feature of Rust. To put it mildly, C is not known for being easily composed. In C, you often just write something yourself, because C doesn't compose well with your app.

> ... and then the developer sharing this content was the victim of an attempted SWAT

What exactly are you suggesting? That, because you shared this content 25 days ago, that was the reason Rene was SWAT-ed?

There are multiple ways to go about this in .NET - the instrumentation for the networking stack is not missing:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/fundamentals/networ...

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/fundamentals/networ...

It is, however, not dependent on VS Code and exists standalone, so it requires integration work if there's custom tooling at play. It is what most vendor SDKs that offer observability do.

There are CLI tools which consume the EventSource events and the EventPipe itself which can be used to access them in and out of process: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/diagnostics/ev...

EventPipe/EventSource and DiagnosticPort are very powerful APIs however that cover much deeper instrumentation scenarios, so they are going to require writing a connector for the product that wants to integrate with them. There is already an implementation in shared code that is used by e.g. dotnet-trace which can be found here https://github.com/dotnet/diagnostics/tree/main/src/Microsof... but it can be a bit convoluted to read through.
Which is arguably a good thing (having AGI spread amongst multiple entities rather than one leader).
The problem with that is that the ASCII code for a backslash is also used as the second byte in a 2 byte character in Shift-JIS, which can sometimes cause Japanese string literals to not work properly in C. EUC-JP is better for this purpose, because it does not have that problem. (Using Shift-JIS with Pascal also does not have this problem, if you are using the (* *) comments instead of the { } comments.)
...and Sam Altman once again posts a response including uppercase, similar to when Ilya left. It's like he wants to let everyone know that he didn't actually care enough to write it himself but just asked chatGPT to write something for him.
SD wouldn't come close to the bandwidth and latency that the on-board NAND is giving, which is a key bottleneck to device performance.

Increased weight makes reconductoring much more difficult as the structures are designed to carry specific weight. Increased size can also impact structure loading from ice or wind. So, generally, reconductoring does not materially increase weight.

The primary difference between the traditional conductors and advanced conductors is temperature tolerance. Most transmission lines are aluminum conductors with a steel core for strength (ASCR). As current increases, so does temperature, causing lines to sag (or the steel anneal if too hot).

Advanced conductors use a different composition to operate at higher temperatures, or otherwise carry more current (one example: aluminum conductor, composite reinforced, or ACCR) so as to have similar weight (and profile) to the original, traditional conductor.
A few short years is a prediction with lots of ifs and unknowns.

Probably Starlink. Some people seem to use WiFi as synonymous for Internet.

I know what I am going to say isn’t of much value but the GPs post is the most twitter comment ever and it made me chuckle.
It's an interesting product but they are 25 degrees monochrome half VGA resolution head-locked HUD vs. 70 degrees full color HD world-locked holograms. These are in completely different categories.

You could make a case that nobody needs more than a monochrome HUD but I think there will be a place for both categories of products in the future, until eventually the hologram version is miniaturized enough to make the HUD version obsolete.
I would try it if it was a VSCode extension. I'd like to use it, but I live inside cursor these days.
My observation is that this move has increased the amount of toxicity in social media. There's plenty of room for ActivityPub and atproto to work together to decentralize things. Instead, this has generated a lot of infighting. Nothing wrong with starting a foundation, but recognize potential friends from foes. I suppose it's possible that they invited atproto to the table and they declined, but based on the way Even has been talking lately I highly doubt that.
Plain-text version for those who can’t read images:

“Hi all,

I have something to share with you. After much reflection, I have made the difficult decision to leave OpenAI.

My six-and-a-half years with the OpenAI team have been an extraordinary privilege. While I'll express my gratitude to many individuals in the coming days, I want to start by thanking Sam and Greg for their trust in me to lead the technical organization and for their support throughout the years.

There's never an ideal time to step away from a place one cherishes, yet this moment feels right. Our recent releases of speech-to-speech and OpenAI o1 mark the beginning of a new era in interaction and intelligence – achievements made possible by your ingenuity and craftsmanship. We didn't merely build smarter models, we fundamentally changed how AI systems learn and reason through complex problems. We brought safety research from the theoretical realm into practical applications, creating models that are more robust, aligned, and steerable than ever before. Our work has made cutting-edge AI research intuitive and accessible, developing technology that adapts and evolves based on everyone's input. This success is a testament to our outstanding teamwork, and it is because of your brilliance, your dedication, and your commitment that OpenAI stands at the pinnacle of AI innovation.

I'm stepping away because I want to create the time and space to do my own exploration. For now, my primary focus is doing everything in my power to ensure a smooth transition, maintaining the momentum we've built.

I will forever be grateful for the opportunity to build and work alongside this remarkable team. Together, we've pushed the boundaries of scientific understanding in our quest to improve human well-being.

While I may no longer be in the trenches with you, I will still be rooting for you all. With deep gratitude for the friendships forged, the triumphs achieved, and most importantly, the
challenges overcome together.

Mira”

Also a surprisingly large number of them are libertarians, whose view is that government can never do anything right and if anybody claims a government intervention (or a concerted society-level effort) is necessary then they are lying.

Climate change is, almost by definition, something that cannot be solved at individual level. It must be tackled at the society level. Which makes it a lie in their worldview.

Don't ask me, I could never understand the libertarian position.
Yeah VS Code is built on top of some older frameworks and ideas unfortunately.
If you ever count how many patches are in between stable point releases - eg. 6.10.5 to 6.10.6, you'll see having the source code is not enough. All of these patches are fixes for something or another, not features, but fixes.

If you look at an LTS branch, you'll see there are hundreds of point releases. Usually a point release is created once every 5-10 days. I interpret that to mean bugs were not found until many weeks after the LTS branch was cut. Obviously, not all of them affect you, but many patches apply important subsystems which affect you.

According to Apple [1], the M4 iPad Pro has the "world's most advanced display." Whether that makes it better than a MacBook Pro depends on what you mean by "better." You can find the specs and compare them, and then decide for yourself which qualifies as "better" depending on what matters to you.

For me, the M4 iPad Pro seems better than a MacBook in several ways, including the display, but other people find the MacBook better for their uses.

> I went to a vacation club presentation for a bunch of free stuff once, it wasn't worth it.

My wife and I signed up for a snorkel tour a few years ago, one of those "attend this 45 minute presentation and get your tour for half price!" deals.

We skipped the presentation and ended up being charged the full tour cost plus something extra, I think $25/person on a $200/person tour.

That has to be close to the best 50 bucks I ever spent.

Sorry, I was just going off the demo. Maybe demo the keybinds briefly.

If you get a demo of someone editing stuff super quickly using only keybinds I think it would look pretty cool.

Right now I don’t know if the value prop is strong enough for me to switch editors and remodel/relearn all my keybinds. This is like a 10-15% improvement not a 1.5x or 2x improvement.

An extension would probably help onboard users.
I've had both views, and still think that the first is fairly accurate.

I'm no longer so certain that HN is strongly right-wing. There are definitely right-wing members, and so long as they act within HN's guidelines that's possibly a Good Thing in the spirit of airing a range of views across the spectrum (not in its more recent psychiatric sense), which would include debunking fallacious and calling out of actively dangerous views.

From what I've been able to directly observe,[1] both left- and right-wing political harrangues and advocacy seem to fare poorly. Right-wing think tanks, Reason being the notable exception, are rarely linked to HN. Most news stories come from largely centrist sources, with the NY Times and WSJ both being amongst the most frequently hitting the front page. (Both have seen a sharp drop in front-page appearances as their respective paywalls have tightened, NYT falling to < 25% of its prior frequency, a point I'd like to see explored in detail as journalism's fight for survival continues.)

Ideological talking points / memes tend to be low-effort, regurgitations, and easy to post to threads, especially early. And I suspect, with some basis in media theory, that this tends to favour the populist right.[2] This post itself has seen a sharp reshuffling (which is continuing as I make some later comments to it, on that specific topic) as votes and flags take effect. The previously top-ranked comment is now (quite rightfully IMO) flagged: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41646319>), along with numerous others.

Unfortunately overall substantive discussion and story placement on the front page have both suffered as a consequence (points I've made in email to dang).

Notes:

1. <https://toot.cat/@dredmorbius/tagged/HackerNewsAnalytics> and <https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...> will point to much of this.

2. See generally the Frankfurt School's work. Dwight MacDonald's "A THeory of Mass Culture" (1953) develops the idea <https://is.muni.cz/el/1421/jaro2008/ESB032/um/5136660/MacDon...>, as does Umberto Eco's "Ur Fascism" (1995) <https://web.archive.org/web/20240000000000*/https://www.nybo...>.
I don't know the answer, but a couple of things to keep in mind with such speculations:

* Properties of lower dimensions don't always extrapolate to higher dimensions. An example that comes to mind is the result in probability theory that a 2D random walk will always return to the home position an infinite number of times, whereas a 3D random walk has a 2/3 chance of never returning.

* Physics is interested in what is observable and testable. In your grant application, what are you saying are the testable aspects of this 4D bulk space which would validate your theory?

On the other hand, we can already perfectly represent 4D objects in 3D space. Just write down a bunch of 4-vectors. If this seems like it's trivializing what you're saying, then it means you need to provide a clearer definition of the objects which you have in mind, and what it means to represent them.

So overall I think you'd want to be careful with how you're defining the objects you're interested in, and what is the mathematical form of the claim you want to make about those objects, and how to test whether it has any physical relevance.

> Is there an advantage to using your own ONT

Some customers might want a dedicated ONT, some might want an SFP+ module, some might want one integrated into their router.

Some ISPs only allow registering one ONT per account and don't allow changing ONT serial. With your own ONT you can have a hot spare available if one fails.

Some ISPs restrict access to ONT information, with your own ONT you can log connection quality data into grafana and setup alerts.

The ONT is directly accessible from the ISP's network, some ISPs haven't provided updates for their ONTs since 2016. With your own ONT, you can ensure you're always patched and secure.

This is great and I can’t wait to try it. I’ve been coding for a few decades, and have always been good at “keeping the program in my head”. However, in life I am very bad at this and have failed at just about everything that’s not programming, and based on a recent diagnosis I’ve learned a lot about ADHD, autism, and “visual learners” for whom abstract mental models are difficult to internalize without some visual anchor.
Anyway, this has led me to use more visual tools - like Miro and Heptabase - and the lessened cognitive load is nothing less than stunning. I hope this model of human/machine interface is beneficial to everyone, and not just those who are broken, but coming from one of the latter I appreciate what you are doing here.

Well, I don't think it's a good analogy in a few ways. It's probably closer to a restraining order than a breakup, even though that analogy isn't perfect either.

And there's a significant power imbalance between large and small accounts. A small account blocking a large account doesn't impart any noticeable second order effects on the large account. But a large account blocking a small account absolutely can impart negative second order effects on the small account.

(And large accounts can certainly develop a sense of self importance or arrogance that leads to liberal blocking behavior)

The problem is that it isn't just two accounts interacting. The blocker may interact with someone else you follow, or who follows you, which then elides context from conversations.

Hypothetical:

Let's say John Carmack starts a discussion about Voxel Octrees, and Jonathan Blow comments on that. And Carmack comments back, and this goes on once or twice. You also have something to say on Voxel Octrees, maybe you're working with them in your project, so you want to join the conversation.

Unfortunately, Jonathan Blow has blocked you. You don't have any desire to interact with him. You would comment on Voxel Octrees even if Blow wasn't involved. But he has inserted himself into a conversation that you want to be a part of so now parts of that conversation are missing to you, and you have to log into an alt to get the full context of what is being discussed.

Hiding the blocker's posts from the blockee doesn't just damage the ability of the blockee to interact with the blocker, but also to interact with accounts that the blocker interacts with... and accounts that interact with that interaction, and so on.

That's clearly damaging the blockee's user experience. And there's a contingent of pro-block users who want to make the block even more repressive, such as hiding content with an IP ban.
The EMG wrist band is the most exciting part of this release, IMO. That strikes me as a great solve that pushes into software a lot of hard problems that were solved with hardware previously.
About invariants generally: Rust wants to know when memory behind each pointer is immutable, or mutable by Rust only, or could be mutated by something else while Rust has a pointer to it. Rust also encodes which types can't be moved to another thread, and which pointers own their memory and need to be freed by Rust.

These are part of the type system, so they need to be defined precisely. The answer to these questions can't be just "it depends". If there are run-time or config-dependent conditions when the same data is owned or not or immutable or not, Rust has enums, unions and unsafe escape hatches to guard access to it.

> I get the feeling it's going to break all shar archives with binary files

shar encodes binary files. Here's what it does with a file that has contents: "foo\0bar\n":

begin 600 foo.txt

`
end
SHAR_EOF

Interestingly, passing that heredoc to uudecode in the shell, it produces no output. However, if I pass the whole shar output to unshar, it does produce the file with the correct content.
