> It means, stable syntax, lots of mature tooling and compilers, and any problems the language has are well known.

In case of C what it really means is that the compiler codebases are extremely old and sometimes in rather bad shape.

Speaking of stable, C hasn't just stayed still: The C23 standard adds plenty of fun new things, like an annotation for unreachable code. Modern C has threads and synchronization primitives, #embed, complex numbers, and plenty more.

> Of the various languages around, C is the least likely one to have "buggy compilers"

C compilers are still routinely buggy, because the memory model is surprisingly tricky, there are many edge cases in the specification that are subtle and despite being fairly basic are not stressed often enough to come up, and because optimizing C while adhering to its rules about defined behavior is an unending arms race about what is still "technically" compliant with the standard.

Again, this is especially true if we're considering embedded development where the compiler you have might be a random hacked up old build of some vendor compiler rather than at least being recent GCC or Clang. In that case, even if you only consider a small subset of C99, there's still plenty of room for things to go wrong.

By any standard you can come up with, C is just plain-and-simple not a boring reliable solution. As it turns out, something being old and relatively simple isn't enough to make it boring; you can still have a pathological case that is just an absurd clusterfuck.

I will grant you one thing: it is the most boring embedded development solution. But come on. The best modern competition is Rust. Being more boring than Rust is not exactly an impressive accomplishment, especially when you consider how much practical value Rust has to offer.

There is an elephant in the room that rarely gets the attention it deserves is that 17.3% of the US GDP is contained in the healthcare system.

Twenty years ago this problem could have been solved in a relatively smooth manner - at this point I don't even know if my personal dream of a perfect solution would cause more harm to average people's lives than it'd help.

We are up a creek and determinedly throwing every paddle we find as far as we can manage.

It sounds like the current approach is to challenge the registration based on abandonment by non-use. The defense against a challenge of non-use is an example of the trademark being used (by the holder or a licensee) in trade.

A challenge based on abandonment by non-enforcement is also possible, but non-use is easier to show.

I think more people actually know what ASMR is as opposed to ASR. Lots of ASMR videos are people speaking/whispering at extremely low volume.

Harder in what sense?

Criminal communications have always existed, and I don’t buy that a smartphone is a fundamental change from encoded letters, whispers, or any more primitive signaling device. With an electronic surveillance warrant it is easier than ever to compromise communications. If they suspect that a crime is being committed they should use the existing legal framework that exists for exactly this purpose.

I'm sorry, but this encyclopedia analogy really doesn't say anything at all about the argument I raised. An encyclopedia is the work of individual authors, who compiled the individual facts. It is not a tool that produces text based entirely on the prompt you give it. Using an encyclopedia's entries (translation or not) without citing the source is plagiarism, but that doesn't have any parallel to using an LLM.

YC has only been investing in deep tech for about a decade, I'm not sure that's long enough for them to have had a home run yet.

For example, Boom Supersonic was founded 10 years ago, and just this summer completed their second test flight. They are scheduled to launch commercial operations in 2029.

Lucid bots was founded in 2018, and just did their Series A to fund their growth of their autonomous drone fleet.

I wouldn't count YC out of the deep tech game just yet.

How to Start a Dev Tools Company – Startup School [video]
Don't know your use case that precisely so can't say if it does a "good job" versus just "a job", and it's been a while since I've used Docker Desktop or macos (though about half of our dev team is using Rancher Desktop on macos right now), but as far as I'm aware it's essentially identical.

FS: Rancher mounts your `/Users/$USER` folder in the VM that Docker is running in. It supports virtiofs on macos (not sure if it's used by default though). As far as I can tell, this replicates the default Docker Desktop setup.

Networking Container -> Host: Connecting to `host.docker.internal` works as expected. On the host I can listen on a port on my host (`nc -l -p 1234`) and connect from a container (`docker run -it --rm alpine nc host.docker.internal 1234`).

Networking Host -> Container: Exposed ports work as I would expect. I can run a container with an exposed port (`docker run -it --rm -p 1234:1234 alpine nc -l -p 1234`) and connect from my host (`telnet localhost 1234`). I can't connect directly onto the docker network bridge (though I'm not sure if that was ever supported on OSX?).

No skin in the game either way here, just with a bunch of people suggesting buying OrbStack (which is OSX only), figured I'd throw Rancher Desktop out as a potentially viable cross-platform alternative that's also free and OSS.

nah. death is part and parcel of the military.

they don't want to be responsible for health care, esp. because it's absurdly expensive in the US. once you're in the military is responsible for your care, and if it's likely your knees are going to snap during training, even if just 10%, they don't want to take the financial risk.

like, you getting killed is easy; pay out SGLI once and send a flag to someone's house. but the cost of broken troopers goes on forever, and it may cost 2 Trillion in total for Iraq and AFG because of veteran's care.

I can also run this all locally, my point was more that at the worst right now the most advanced model (afaik, I'm not personally benchmarking) paid for at the headline rates, for a huge content library, costs such a reasonable amount that an individual can do it. I've donated more to single charities than this would cost, while it's not an insignificant sum it's a "find one person who cares enough" level problem.

Well, I understand, and I suspect that a lot of people commenting here see the term similarly to you; but there's an official definition regardless of your personal interpretation, and it does include the 'somebody else's work' part.

Why is translation a different beast? It produces text based on a prompt you give it, and it draws from vast amounts of the works of other people to do so. So if a translation tool does not change the 'authorship' of the underlying text (i.e., if it would have been plagiarism to copy the text verbatim before translating it, it would be plagiarism after; and the same for the inverse), then it should also be possible for an LLM to not change the authorship between prompt and output. Which means, copying the output of an LLM verbatim is not necessarily in itself plagiarism.
Somewhere between 15-30% of health care spending in the US can be classified as "waste" or "administrative overhead" (values and descriptions vary by study). Even if we cut that 15% waste in its entirety, that's moving us from 17.3% to 14.8%. Is that going to leave some administrative staff looking for jobs? Absolutely. But, I don't see that totally crashing the economy, not when that money is freed up for productive spending (more cars, more travel, more dining out, whatever).

> If you read the whole article there’s a section dedicated to evening people.

It's a perfunctory mention of the exact kind morning people commonly throw out to superficially address an evening person's actual constraints.

The article's whole thesis is that after some point in the day your emotions will end up fried. An evening person can't simply flip the arrow of time to make it so that before that point in the day, their emotions have started off fried but then get unfried afterwards. Rather completely different approaches are needed.

The most important part of any meta thinking is to know thyself. I'm sure this article is thoroughly useful for a subset of people, but not me. It would be nice if authors were upfront about the constraints they are writing from, and especially if they didn't try to hand wave them away.

For myself, the news does not significantly affect my emotions more than a handful of times per year. I'm certainly not getting exposed to it or other goings-on through adversarial notifications. And my actual mobile pocket device generally lives by the door. Those are basic table stakes for my own existence.
the most basic example was the declined proposal https://github.com/golang/proposal/blob/master/design/32437-...

Some people didn't like the "try" keyword it reminded them too much of exceptions, some people didn't like that they couldnt see a return inline (which was the purpose of the proposal in the first place).

it's not that there are no solutions. the main problem is the go team's insistence to have "one true way" (tm) of doing something and unfortunately this gap between people who want to see every return inline and people who want to see the clean solution separate from the error handling is not something that can be bridged by technical means. the only solution is to implement both ways and lets see which one wins.

Can you give some examples? If I believed everything people say on this subject, I would expect to see a never-ending stream of insults and bullying on Stack Overflow, but when I go there, I don’t see anything of the sort, except for the occasional comment that’s voted heavily down and/or moderated away. I know toxic behaviour is against the rules, and I can see those rules are enforced effectively.

As far as I can tell, the idea that Stack Overflow is a pit of toxicity is a complete myth. Where is all of this toxicity? Saying that something is off-topic for the site is not toxicity. Closing things as duplicates is not toxicity. Hitting pause on an account that is mass-deleting content is not toxicity.
