I'm actually more puzzled about the infinite recursion in this type function:

fn Node(T: type) type {
return struct {
value: T,
next: ?*Node(T) = null,
};
}

In other languages, defining types in terms of themselves is unproblematic, because the type identifier is just a symbol and the whole thing amounts to a graph with a backreference.

However, here it's supposed to represent actual executable code, which is run by the compiler and "produces" a type in the end. But how would the compiler execute this function without getting stuck in a loop?

There is fundamental limit (Shannon limit) on decoding a signal Eb/No = -1.6dB [0]

where Eb is energy received per bit of information and No is noise spectral density.

This makes it paramount to collect as much energy per bit (Eb) as possible which in turn requires large antennas for far away objects such as Voyager probe.

The ca. 1924 Thermidorian limitations of the 1917 success were explained by Trotsky, whose subsequent literary career was thereupon cancelled, via an ice axe to the head.

(I don't know to what degree Eric Blair worried about a similar fate, but we do see that after Animal Farm he moves to a remote island in Scotland, where presumably strangers would draw much greater attention to themselves than in London — and before returning to London for hospital marries a much younger spook*)

* compare a line from Trotsky: "Rakovsky cites a curious remark of Babeuf to the
effect that the degeneration of the new ruling stratum was helped along not a little by the former young
ladies of the aristocracy toward whom the Jacobins were very friendly. ... A census of the wives of the ruling stratum in the Soviet Union would show a similar picture."

It would be clearer to say that what follows the lambda is the name of its (single) argument, not a list. And then explain that for notational convenience, you could abbreviate successive abstractions. Btw, if you really base it on lists, then do you allow an empty list as well?
IIUC notification contents are application-defined. So if you're building a weather app and don't care about encryption, your content can literally be "It's going to be sunny."

Hmm. I’m a hard disagree. The problems they show have a number of really nice properties for LLM assessment: They require broad, often integrated knowledge of diverse areas of mathematics, the answers reduce to a number, often a very large number, and thus extremely difficult to guess, and they require a significant amount of symbolic parsing and (I would say) reasoning skills. If we think about what makes a quality mathematician, I’d propose it’s the ability to come at a problem both from the top —- conceptually — and from the bottom — applying various tools and transformations — with a sort of direction in mind that gets to a result.

I’d say these problems strongly encourage that sort of behavior.

I’m also someone who thinks building in abilities like this to LLMs would broadly benefit the LLMs and the world, because I think this stuff generalizes. But, even if not, It would be hard to say that an LLM that could test 80% on this benchmark would be not useful to a research mathematician. Terence Tao’s dream is something like this that can hook up to LEAN, leaving research mathematicians as editors, advisors, and occasionally working on the really hard parts while the rest is automated and provably correct. There’s no doubt in my mind that a high scoring LLM for this benchmark would be helpful in that concept.

Laundromats are kind of a drag since you have to hang around nearby for almost 2 hours to do the 5 minutes of labor that the machines don't do for you. Dropping off a sack of clothes for wash & fold on the other hand is a pricey luxury. Perhaps if the laundromats could automate the whole process it would bring down the price of wash and fold and fewer people would be inclined to have washing machine at home (as you say, taking up space for a machine that is used a couple hours a week)

Alternatively you can simply attach the laundromat to a cafe or bar, turning a chore into an opportunity to relax and socialize but most of the world is not prepared for that degree of civilization.
The most sensible thing to do here is found a religion and have your adherents ascribe a sacred quality to your writings and they'll then preserve it over millennia regardless of the format changes / translations required.
Agreed. With Linux and open source, if there's a problem, you can fix it or file a quality bug report that'll often lead to the issue getting fixed. With Windows you deny yourself this comfort and suffer with what Microsoft provides.

This is like telling programmers they don't need to know data structures before writing a program. While technically true, it will hamstring you until you go back and learn it. You need to master the basics before you can branch out into more advanced things. Don't put the cart before the horse. Besides, some of the best stories out there, like Shaun of the Dead, stick to the formulas to a T. They're used in classes to teach the basics because their writers perfected them.

> I'm listening to a review of The Great Mouse Detective (1986) which has a similar ethos, as did other content targeting young people from that era.

You bring up a great point, I do feel sometimes that children media in the 80s didn't completely try to dumb down complexities of adult life even when targeting children. While there are exceptions, it does feel less true nowadays when looking at modern media. The problem I feel is that at the same time as we sanitize children' content more than we used too, children have more access to unfiltered content through often poorly secured devices.

As for Grim Fandango, I played it around 15 and while, yes there were elements that flew above my head. I still remember it as an amazing experience and my first introduction to the film noir genre (shortly after that was reinforced by playing Under a Killing Moon given to me by a friend of mine)

Was fun diving into it and the kids loved the cards.

Hey Mr Loris.

Well, your explanation doesn't really tell why do I call .deinit() on a structure before alllocator() call and calling all the rest important stuff on a structure after such call.

> If I’m an adult and identify a risk to my doctor, why shouldn’t a cheap safe and reliable preventative measure not be accessible?

I wouldn’t call it cheap, but it is available unsubsidized. Which makes sense from the perspective of society in terms of cost vs benefits. Your personal income and risk profile may mean spending money on this is worth it to you, but society is just focusing on averages.

You may think it bizarre but consider this logic.

Let’s suppose for the average 12 year old the number works out to 1 million dollars per cancer prevented. But for 60 year olds it’s 100 million dollars prevents a single cancer on average. The difference coming from reduced future partners, prior exposure, and reduced remaining lifespan. (By reduced future partners, I mean most people have partners between the ages of 12 and 60, so a 12 year old is taking those risks plus the risks from partners after 60.)

Now a billionaire may be happy at even 100 million per prevented cancer, but I think the general public would prefer lower premiums/taxes instead. 45 years old isn’t some magic number it’s just somewhere between extremes. Other countries are using much younger ages.

Your problem isnt so much "content storage" as it is "addressing". For example, you could carve the info into a rock, and instruct an immediate descendent to maintain it, and have them tell their children, etc. Or create a religion that maintains The Rock.

But lets imagine you found a crystalline web server that ran off sun light and was backed by rock storage. Who is to be assured that the https scheme will still exist in 100 years? Or that DNS is still the resolution method? FTP had a 20 year run before dying. Gopher lasted under a decade. Http is dying out under the weight of security and corporatization. Even DNS is under pressure to be centralized and otherwise fiddled with in the name of convenience (eg locality). So your descendents might not be able to resolve your URN locator scheme, or have a usable client to reach it, no matter how good your long term storage is.
I wonder how they normalize the flow of RP-1 through the hydraulic actuators. You wouldn't want the mixture ratio in the engine itself to vary depending on the gimbaling.

People always say this like it's somehow unique to bit rot, but only ancient Egypt really managed to preserve a substantial portion of their original records, and that's just because they won the geographic lottery in that regard. Pretty much every other field of history relies on copies that were made of the most popular works.

> papyrus will survive long after the inevitable neglect

This isn't inherently true of papyrus. Taken into a climate wetter than Egypt (in other words, pretty much any other climate where people actually live) it begins to disintegrate very quickly and needs constant maintenance.

A large portion of our records will be lost, such is the nature of things, but I'm going to bet that we leave a greater percentage of our works than any other civilization. We'll probably beat ancient Egypt, but we'll certainly beat everyone else. People are keenly aware of how ephemeral records are (digital or paper) and make concerted efforts to archive them in permanent storage.

Traditionally, the answer would be "Use PURLs". The Internet Archive happens to operate the purl.org resolver.

Unfortunately, with the recent attack, the purl.org resolver went offline and remains so. All the purl data is still there and is accessible to the public, you just don't get resolvable URLs for them.

Nowadays, it seems like ARKs are the better way to go, anyway, and the attack on archive.org proved it perfectly. Look into <https://arks.org/>

(The Internet Archive mints ARKs for every item uploaded to its collections. You may have noticed them in the infobox below the fold when looking at a given item.)
