I’m not very well versed in kernel development. But I am a Rust dev and have observed the discussion about Rust in Linux with interest… Having said that, this part of the article has me baffled:

>> implementing these features for a smart-pointer type with a malicious or broken Deref (the trait that lets a programmer dereference a value) implementation could break the guarantees Rust relies on to determine when objects can be moved in memory. (…) [In] keeping with Rust's commitment to ensuring safe code cannot cause memory-safety problems, the RFC also requires programmers to use unsafe (specifically, implementing an unsafe marker trait) as a promise that they've read the relevant documentation and are not going to break Pin.

To the uninformed this seems like crossing the very boundary that you wanted Rust to uphold? Yes it’s only an impl Trait but still… I can hear the C devs now. ‘We pinky promise to clean up after our mallocs too!’
As I age, I am getting better at finishing things. Partly because my side projects are intentionally more bite-sized.

Rather than write am application, maybe I will just write a module, or a useful script someone else can use to build or improve an application. I am much happier with this approach so far.

I can answer that: randomness! The set of available human reactions is randomly distributed across all the threads.

The trick is to select which points in the distribution to respond to. You should do that based on what will produce interesting, not indignant, conversation. We can't have both, and we know which one we want: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor....

I search a lot. Heavy heavy searching. Kagi's no-BS approach to search gets me to relevant results much faster than any other search engine. And the ability to down-rank or block unreliable sources only sharpens that experience.

I have used, and continue to try on occasion to keep my opinions updated, all the big search engines. DDG, Bing, and Google. The search experience is really not there for me in those 3. Bing consistently produces poor results, DDG is a bit better but I still have to manually sift through poor quality results to get what I want, and Google makes me scroll past a lot of bloat and ads first to get to quality results, with more ads interspersed throughout.

I like being able to search, get my quality results, and move on with my life. That's worth paying for to me.

It's just "value capture" at this point. WPEngine is much larger than his own for-profit and the market is prob tapping out, which has got to be frustrating.

There is much more to be made for him scorching the earth and either directing them to his company or taking a cut of competitors. I guess the logic is who cares if the overall system suffers as long as he has the biggest piece of the pie.
Hah, I swing the other way! If module foo had a function bar then my test is in module test_foo and the test is called test_bar.

Nine times out of ten this is the only test, which is mostly there to ensure the code gets exercised in a sensible way and returns a thing, and ideally to document and enforce the contract of the function.

What I absolutely agree with you on is that being able to describe this contract alongside the function itself is far more preferable. It’s not quite literate programming but tools like Python’s doctest offer a close approximation to interleaving discourse with machine readable implementation:

def double(n: int) -> int:
“””Increase by 100%

>>> double(7)
14
“””
return 2 * n

It's good that PyPI signs whatever is uploaded to PyPI using PyPI's key now.

GPG ASC support on PyPI was nearly as useful as uploading signatures to sigstore.

1. Is it yet possible to - with pypa/twine - sign a package uploaded to PyPI, using a key that users somehow know to trust as a release key for that package?

2. Does pip check software publisher keys at package install time? Which keys does pip trust to sign which package?

3. Is there any way to specify which keys to trust for a given package in a requirements.txt file?

4. Is there any way to specify which keys to trust for a version of a given package with different bdist releases, with Pipfile.lock, or pixi or uv?

People probably didn't GPG sign packages on PyPI because it wasn't easy or required to sign a package using a registered key/DID in order to upload.

Anyone can upload a signature for any artifact to sigstore. Sigstore is a centralized cryptographic signature database for any file.

Why should package installers trust that a software artifact publisher key [on sigstore or the GPG keyserver] is a release key?

gpg --recv-key downloads a public key for a given key fingerprint over HKP (HTTPS with the same CA cert bundle as everything else).

GPG keys can be wrapped as W3C DIDs FWIU.

W3C DIDs can optionally be centrally generated (like LetsEncrypt with ACME protocol).

W3C DIDs can optionally be centrally registered.

GPG or not,
each software artifact publisher key must be retrieved over a different channel than the packages.

If PYPI acts as the (package,release_signing_key) directory and/or the keyserver, is that any better than hosting .asc signatures next to the downloads?

GPG signatures and wheel signatures were and are still better than just checksums.

Why should we trust that a given key is a release signing key for that package?

Why should we trust that a release signing key used at the end of a [SLSA] CI build hasn't been compromised?

How do clients grant and revoke their trust of a package release signing key with this system?

... With GPG or [GPG] W3C DIDs or whichever key algo and signed directory service.
Maybe you can scratch the experiment and downscale it? Seems like you are very very very far away from needing something as beefy as that. Unless you got it for very cheap, I'd feel bad having so much money in idle hardware
Could be reverse causation. T2 diabetes is a major risk factor for COVID, so perhaps kids with undiagnosed T2 diabetes are more likely to have COVID bad enough to go to the doctor.
The main issue is that when objects spin really, really fast, they tend to explode due to centrifugal force.

The tensile stress on a spinning round, homogeneous object is p * r^2 * w^2, where p is density, r is radius, and w is angular velocity. Using your numbers for a steel cylinder with density 8 g/cm^3 gives a tensile stress of (8 g/cm^3) * (5 mm)^2 * (2pi*1 MHz)^2 = about 8 TPa which vastly exceeds the tensile strength of steel or any other known material. Using cows connected by ropes would be even worse because the enormous centrifugal force would be borne by only a small rope.

There's a lot of chess configs, but there's a LOT of atoms in the observable universe. I suspect there's a few in the unobservable universe too.

https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/47941/dumbed-dow...

You might be able to pull off a low-resolution lookup table. Take some big but manageable number N (e.g 10^10) and calculate the maximally even distribution of those points over the total space of chessboard configurations. Then make a lookup table for those configs. In play, for configs not in the table, interpolate between nearest points in the table.
I use sway and I think it supports security-context-v1, though I haven't tried it. That said, my current setup is just to run cage + xwayland inside the container which gives decent enough sandboxing AFAIK. (I used to use Xephyr but the cage approach gives me dynamically resizable windows). At the very least the host clipboard is not shared with the sandboxed process, which is the primary thing I'm concerned about.

The issue is that humans and computers don't evaluate board positions in the same way. A computer will analyze every possible move, and then every possible response to each of those moves, etc. Human grandmasters will typically only analyze a handful of candidate moves, and a few possible replies to those moves. This means human search is much narrower and shallower.

If you want a computer that plays like a human, you will probably need to imitate the way that a human thinks about the game. This means for example thinking about the interactions between pieces and the flow of the game rather than stateless evaluations.

With reference to the source material Manufacturing Consent (1988)

It argues that the mass communication media of the U.S. "are effective and powerful ideological institutions that carry out a system-supportive propaganda function, by reliance on market forces, internalized assumptions, and self-censorship, and without overt coercion"

Without Overt Coercion .. without outsized control, without heavy censorship, ..

I don't want to denigrate the whole community or anything as quite a lot of thought-provoking and interesting reading has come out of it over the years, but I can't help but recall very serious defense of the notion of quantum immortality on LessWrong after Eliezer's fairly convincing rants that any serious scientist has to conclude multiple worlds is the only sensible interpretation of quantum mechanics. If you honest to God take this to its logical conclusion, then wiping out all life in your particular branch of the multiverse may very well be the right move if it doubles utility in 51% of all possible universes.

I don't actually buy that argument and think it's insane, but it would not remotely surprise me if SBF believed it, and if you do, then you don't really observe the Kelly criterion. You take the ruin for the larger team of other yous that collectively wins. If the density of quantum branches in which he funded colonization of the galaxy is greater than the density in which he is serving life in prison, it was worth it.
Yes but then what? If the government wants revenues it will sell them. It’s a hand wave not a solution at best or a disingenuous pitch to nationalize any business that becomes too valuable; if so it’s a very radical recontextualization - in the west we generally do not think the government should be a shareholder of private enterprise long term because this impacts the benefits of market competition, among many other things. Our legal and tax system is not set up for a government with direct investment and ownership arms.

Rust’s whole premise of guaranteed memory safety through compiletime checks has always been undermined when confronted with the reality that certain foundational operations must still be implemented using unsafe. Inevitably folks concede that lower level libraries will have these unsafe blocks and still expect higher level code to trust them, and at that point we’ve essentially recreated the core paradigm of C: trust in the programmer’s diligence. Yeah Rust makes this trust visible, but it doesn’t actually eliminate it in “hard” code.

The punchline here, so to speak, is that for all Rust’s claims to revolutionize safety, it simply(!) formalizes the same unwritten social contract C developers have been meandering along with for decades. The uniqueness boils down to “we still trust the devs, but at least now we’ve made them swear on it in writing”.

For me it makes sense if you're using a bunch of shared devices but want to keep your tabs/projects/files all open in a safe place. It looks like google drive sync is in the works, and I think this would make it much more useful. Outside of a managed enterprise environment, though, I don't really see the advantage.

It looks like the idea is to make it so that every type of app can run everywhere within the browser. Once again, cool, but useless unless these apps optimize for smaller vs larger devices and different storage versions, at which point I don't see the difference from a pwa, unless I'm interpreting this incorrectly? Otherwise every other example on the webpage seems to be really basic like text files, which, as others have pointed out, have many existing apps with robust sync capabilities.

The reason Magnus Carlsen is impressive is because he's reached his ability level in chess under enormous time and computation constraints, compared to a computer. His efficiency of learning is extraordinary compared to that of any chess engine.

SOFA works great for marriage, if you tweak the params a little. Most secular people arrive at this by default: You marry your 3rd serious partner sometime in your late 20’s.

Start a lot of long term relationships, finish the one that sticks when both partners are mature and more or less done growing up.

I think there’s another shakeup period (statistically) in your mid to late 40’s. That seems related to when kids start being old enough that they don’t act as a forcing function as much.

1. If you find yourself straying too often from coding in relations, and instead coding in instructive steps, you're going to end up with problems.

2. Use DCGs to create a DSL for any high level operations performed on data structures. The bi-directionality of Prolog's clauses means you can use this DSL to generate an audit trail of "commands executed" when Prolog solves a problem for you, but you can also use the audit trail and modify it to execute those commands on other data.
