Relevant to which processors go supports, is this section (1). Base x64 support includes SSE and SSE2. I don't know if the go compiler produces it, though. Unlike extremely complex compilers like gcc, where performance is the top priority, the go compiler favours simplicity in a Wirthian(2) fashion favouring a simple, fast compiler.

> Does it look like a bank of America login page and not belong to BOA oh look its crime.

How do you know if it belongs to BOA? The name of the company/contractor on the bill is regularly different than the name of service being hosted. Even then, how do you know that it's crime rather than e.g. part of some computer security coursework or a research study on phishing or a misconfigured page where somebody was doing a copy and paste and accidentally pasted the wrong thing into their site?

The answer, of course, is that if it's crime then the people who think it's crime should report it to law enforcement to conduct an investigation. Then if it is crime, the perpetrators get arrested instead of just having their account closed (tipping them off that they've been discovered) and opening another one under a different name.

> I literally said Computer science is NOT a science.

But the point was that this entirely depends on one's definition of what the word "science" means - and that depends on the context and the language. I can say, for example, that math is science - simply equating "science" with "knowledge" and "research".
Quoting myself from r/technicalwriting discussion on this post:

> Let me rephrase what I think is really important about Baker's idea. The dogma of technical writing education absolutely revolves around focusing on tasks. If we survey a lot of professional technical writers I will bet you that a majority of them believe that "helping users achieve tasks" is a primary goal of documentation, if not THE primary goal. This small quote from Baker is kinda radical (in the Latin sense of "going to the roots"), because it's suggesting that one of our fundamental assumptions is majorly lacking.

For me personally, Baker's idea is fascinating simply because it sets the bar a lot higher than the current status quo of what's expected of technical writing. A lot of docs just assume that it's "mission complete" once a task is documented, and Baker (to me) is suggesting that it's simply not enough. Tasks of course still need to be documented, but tasks are a subset of the information that goes into decisions.

I don't recall Baker's book discussing control in the way you mention. It's a new idea to me, thanks for sharing. One concrete example of control that comes to mind: if a lot of my docs rely on a page from another open source project, and that external page is not good (low quality), then it should probably be my responsibility to improve that doc. Many people might assume that docs external to their site are outside of their responsibility. But if you're really committed to supporting decisions then it doesn't really matter who is hosting the doc. Maybe there's a lot to learn from the ethos of being a good open source citizen in general

Microwaves are easy, the schematics are online and usually there is more than enough room to see something dangerous before touching it. An unshielded microwave won’t kill you but will destroy the WiFi noise floor in your dwelling.

This is kinda amazing that one has fight for it. I would like to think any museum should be immensely grateful to anyone willing to put in his time to either do the scanning himself or at least to provide an open platform to distribute the scans.

Honestly, I am less sympathetic about this particular case (I mean, who cares about accurate representations of Rodin's sculptures anyway?), but making an open catalog of all digital copies of all ancient stuff found this far really should be #1 priority for history as a research discipline at this point, IMO. It is absurd that anyone would actively prevent that. Yet, at some sites you aren't even allowed to take a photo (yes, w/o a flash), even if it is accessible. Most important sites and archives, obviously, aren't accessible to normal people at all.

I love this idea but its a mistake not to open source it. Especially at an early stage the feedback and work from dedicated contributors is worth it. Not to be rude or presume but I venture to guess nothing in your source code is actually of proprietary value as the app is pretty simple and I think thats a good thing! You only lose by closing the source at this stage of the game.
What does that mean? How does "not even wrong" differ from true or false?
That's not how collateral damage works. The moral and legal responsibility is on the one dropping the bombs. As horrible as the US wars were, when we decided to kill Bin Laden, we sent a special operations team at night instead of flattening entire villages in Pakistan.

The indiscriminate killing that Israel is doing in Gaza and Lebanon is unprecedented since the second World War. Justifying it will normalize civilian casualties in future wars that with be disastrous for everyone.
Fix the root of the issue instead of it's consequences ? One can dream.

Too much money and private interest here.
This is a very welcome release with all its features and as an active community member, I've seen the lengths the devs have gone to over the past few months to ensure proper internal reworkings for all of the big upcoming or planned features.

I don't always understand all of it but I trust and know that care has been taken to properly validate all of those changes, partially thanks to all the unit/integration tests we have.

Is this really playing the devil's advocate though? I know this is a simplification but Stack Overflow launched on a couple of IIS servers and rode their exponential growth rather well. Sure they added more than "a couple" of web servers and improved their SQL server quite a bit, but as far as I recall they didn't even shift to CDN until five or six years after they grew. Eventually they moved into the cloud, but Spliit doesn't even have a fraction of the traffic SO did in its early days. As such I don't think any of the challenges you mention are all that relevant in the context aside from having backup. Perhaps also some redundancy by having two $4 droplets?

Is the author even getting paid for their services though? If they aren't then why would they care? I don't mean that as rude as it sounds, but why would they pay that much money so people can use their product for free?
I don't know how solvable a problem this is. There are two roads that would be labeled nearly identically that are an option for my commute. Let's call them Road A and Road B.

Road A: 45MPH, with a dedicated bike lane with no barrier.

Road B: 40MPH with a dedicated bike lane with no barrier.

The similarities end there though:

Road A: Many turns with trees providing poor visibility

Road B: Relatively straight, good visibility

Road A: Typically has obstructions in the bike lane

Road B: Typically no obstructions in the bike lane

Road A: People speed rather massively

Road B: Many traffic signals; people who speed tend to take parallel Road A instead to avoid the signals.

Road A: The bike lane is sometimes only 30cm wide

Road B: The bike lane is wide enough to ride 2 abreast, and there is usually an additional 30cm painted area between you and traffic.

Road A: Car v. bike accidents are fairly regular, with multiple fatalities in the time I've lived here.

Road B: Every car v. bike accident I'm aware of was at night and involved an intoxicated driver.

I have 3 parallel options for going in this direction, in order of increasing total distance for traveled: Road A, Road B, and a MUP (i.e. combination bike/pedestrian path).

For obvious reasons, I prefer Road B, but it's hard to label a map in such a way that it won't pick the two best choices as Road A (shortest) the MUP (avoid highways).
I felt the same until I found python.

Just in case you haven't tried it - perhaps it might ignite the love to programming (if you want that).
Python made the programming fun to me again. Especially without the boilerplate code.

Try to ignore the community strong push to use typing everywhere and just write some clean small code and it feels amazing. Designs and ideas in simple implementations.

One model is that a government pays a license fee that allows them to produce the drug in unlimited quantities for their country. (In practice, they could buy the drug from the manufacturer at the marginal cost, or they could use another pharmaceutical company as a subcontractor.) Sometimes there is a deal, and the country may get orders of magnitude higher health benefits for a marginally higher price. And sometimes the company refuses, because the deal would interfere with their business model in other countries.

This really seems to be the problem - the developer relations seems to be comprised of non-developers.

The docs are clearly not written by engineers and it really shows.

It’s a shame too - MAUI should be excellent. Best-in-class even. They’ve had the most resources and best tech to throw at the problem and are a distant second at best to React Native. (It might see less use than Flutter these days I’ve no idea).

Also having the C# dev kit for VS Code be non-free is just insane. They’re actively giving the market over to node.
> So actually high confidence is just an assumption.

This one is actually a funny statement. Not all assumptions are born equal :)
Then there's even less holding it together and it would just immediately sploosh everywhere, right?
The most upsetting version of this is when you actually have to remove hardware. “Upgrading” the machine entailed removing a certain screw from under the hood to double the performance.
You can already fit huge amounts of text onto a single floppy. Uncompressed it's around 1.4 million characters.

That is a method though and it's basically what stream ciphers are doing, translating a key into a random stream that's then applies to the plaintext. One benefit of the true OTP though is you don't have to transfer the software and ensure it's generating the same key stream on both ends.
I’m in this space and no it isn’t.

I actually pre-emptively deleted ChatGPT and my account recently as I suspect that they're going to start aggressively putting ads and user tracking into the site and apps to build revenue. I also bet that if they do go through with putting ads into the app that daily user numbers will drop sharply - one of ChatGPT's biggest draws is its clean, no-nonsense UX. There are plenty of competitors that are as good as o1 so I have lots of choices to jump ship to.
For all of his significant character flaws and human failings (not more, nor less, than the average guy, I’d say, but being high profile means that you are always on display) Elon Musk and his projects (and the many talented leaders, engineers, and technicians that he has caused to be in the same bubbles) are without doubt directly responsible for some of the most significant steps that humanity as a whole has taken in the last century. No one should idolise the man or blindly endorse his opinions and ideas, but we should all thank the gods that he exists and does what he does.

Humans will have him to thank indirectly for much of what humanity is going to become, and at least he is genuinely pro-human, above all other considerations. That can’t be said for many of his contemporaries, who are pro human up to a point, but aren’t willing to hang it all out to dry based on their supposed convictions.

It was autopilot.

The original owner purchased it and when the new owner created their account for the car it was removed.
From what I've seen, Claude Sonnet 3.5 is decidedly less "safe" than GPT-4o, by the relatively new politicized understanding of "safety".

Anthropic takes safety to mean "let's not teach people how to build thermite bombs, engineer grey goo nanobots, or genome-targeted viruses", which is the traditional futurist concern with AI safety.

OpenAI and Google safety teams are far more concerned with revising history, protecting egos, and coddling the precious feelings of their users. As long as no fee-fees are hurt, it's full speed ahead to paperclip maximization.
It's not really a complaint about the project itself. I'm actually considering paying the $100 to be a member because I think they're attempting to address an important problem and I want to see how it goes and it would probably be more fun to do so as an owner.

But you've got to admit that its a peculiar rhetorical choice to explain at the landing page that your strategy doesn't involve coupling ownership/control of the platform with the ability to control tokens on a blockchain somewhere, without using the same space to explain what it does do instead.
It’s ugly, but ugly in a way that was more common 11 years ago.

I am sympathetic to the feelings expressed here, and was a diligent masker and social distancer myself in the core years of the pandemic.

1. Accurate speech rec, diarization, etc to record a clinician-patient encounter. No notes, no scribes, no "physician staring at Epic when they should be looking at and talking to you".

2. Parsing of transcripts to correctly and accurately populate the patient EHR record - including various structured fields, etc.

Needless to say you're in this space so I don't have to tell you - every Epic/Cerner install is basically a snowflake so there's a lot going on here, especially at scale.

For context, it looks like you’re talking about iterating by grapheme clusters.

I understand how iterating through a string by grapheme clusters is convenient for some applications. But it’s far from obvious to me that doing so should be the language’s default. Dealing with grapheme clusters requires a Unicode database, which needs to live somewhere and needs to be updated continuously as Unicode grows. (Should rust statically link that library into every app that uses it?)

Generally there are 3 ways to iterate a string: by UTF8 bytes (or ucs2 code points like Java/js/c#), by Unicode codepoint or by grapheme clusters. UTF8 encoding comes up all the time when encoding / decoding strings - like, to json or when sending content over http. Codepoints are, in my opinion, the correct approach when doing collaborative editing or patching strings. And grapheme clusters are useful in frontend user interfaces - like when building a terminal.

Of those 3 iteration methods, I’ve personally used UTF8 encoding the most and grapheme clusters the least. Tell me - why should grapheme clusters be the default way to iterate over a string? I can see the argument in Swift, which is a language built for frontend UI. But in a systems language like rust? That seems like a terrible default to me. UTF8 bytes are by far the most useful representation for strings in systems code, since from the pov of systems code, strings are usually just data.
Tracked vehicles such as bulldozers steer that way.
