What you linked to / cite doesn't address what I was talking about either. I understand that you believe it does, so let me clarify why I think it doesn't.

On the top level, you wrote:

> I would imagine kernel developers working with Rust are quite aware of the downsides of RAII when it comes to large synchronous drops, and aware of arena allocation patterns. They are also likely aware of both arenas that run destructors on drop, and arenas that don't, and the relative merits of each.

Thing is, I'm not nearly familiar enough on a low level with constructs like RAII - however, I think this is actually working in my advantage in this case. Because to me what you wrote reads like this:

- RAII in certain scenarios should be avoided

- those scenarios are mindware (and we just trust that kernel devs can and will recall it as appropriate)

- arenas running destructors on drop in certain scenarios should be avoided

- those scenarios are also mindware (and we just trust that kernel devs can and will recall it as appropriate)

Crucially, none of this is about whether RAII is better than any alternative (relative value), but is about its properties (absolute value).

This is also not incompatible with what the article says, in fact, I believe is what the article was sort of peddling inadvertently.

And so my comment was about relating this to the memory management of C in principle. That the flow of the argument (I think) is similar. That the correctness is dependent on the programmer attention (and their correct usage of tooling), while also being high on the skill tree.

Now, I understand if this comes off as an extremely unrevelatory discovery, or if you feel different about the likelihoods involved. But I found it fascinating, if not equally fearsome.
Then I think you are the outlier. Most people who use GIMP for the first do so from the position of already having a (potentially non-legally obtained) copy of Photoshop. They are trying the software out and stuff like this quickly turns them off the idea of using it. If I had to guess, you use Linux and so don't have the option of Photoshop. This seems to be the case for most GIMP users.

That's incredible. With MP3 already completely patent-free as well, we have an extraordinary free set of audio and video codecs for the next couple of decade, at least until HEVC becomes free.
Shame. I was hoping to see a legal showdown and the drugs section of the 4470 get tossed.
I think the idea is that this different codon sequence "may" be able to be used by the biological organism in a as yet to be discovered way. So, it wouldn't be useful in producing more proteins but may be able to affect the cell in some other way. I've never heard of anything like that though and the redundant codons is probably just the most thermodynamically efficient route to protein production. Interesting thought though
His is misleading. Three of these are Nvidia related technologies, and Valve is _planning_ to migrate Source 2'a shader compiler to Slang.
The atoms in crystasl are organized in small repeated "cells". Monoclinic means that each cell has the shape of a small slanted brick https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monoclinic . Isostructural means that other minerals have the atoms in the same arrangement.

Space group I2/c is more detailed info about where the atoms are in the small cells/slanted brick. I have no idea what it exactly means. It's a name very specific to cristalographers, sometimes the same group has a different name in math or phisics, and sometimes nobody has a similar problem to be interested in that group. You can try to take a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystallographic_point_group Aparently there are 6 (six!) naming conventions, but I can't find I2/c to save my life. And Google didn't help either. (I'd glad if anyone can give more info.)
Disagree. I've seen things done with generative AI which I've wanted to see visualized for decades, but which were too difficult and time-consuming to do traditionally. I've also seen beautiful things that were either impossible to produce or impossible to even conceive of through traditional workflows.

Those make up an infinitesimally small portion of the total output, which is largely a deluge of crap, certainly. But, generally, rarity makes something more valuable and beautiful by comparison.
Would biometrics that actually work solve the problem of the password for you?

Because I'm not sure it's a good idea to not require passwords. At the very least it's a way to make people pause and ask themselves if they really want to give admin rights to whatever program they're running.
Agreed (I think arena-style "allocation at the top" makes Rust significantly nicer to write in general, and I borrow from a big chunk of the data at the top quite frequently), though in this case what Lina was describing sounded somewhat close to the big tree of allocations. Now, it could be any or all of:

* inherently required by the hardware, in which case all you can do is shrug

* good for a first-pass implementation and maybe optimized in the future

* simply not an issue in practice.

Without more information, I would trust that Lina made the right decisions and/or will revise her decisions over time based on data.
Really? I've never been to a motivational seminar. I heard that they're scams.

Sometimes confidence is justified.
Over here it's a fair bit less expensive because it just has everything. On normal streaming platforms dubbed shows aren't always there and because the market is small a lot of things are just not available anywhere legally
Popular is not a synonym for "common", like you're implying it is. They're different things. Popular means desired.

The more popular a piece of software is, the more likely it is to have had the bugs worked out of it, the more people there are reporting issues, the more answers there are on StackOverflow, the more likely AI/LLMs are to be able to answer questions, the more secure it's likely to be, the more stuff interoperates with it, etc. Popularity alone isn't a good reason to select something, but it's a good data point, with which so judge viability.
Oh come on. If Trump gets to plead lawfare, then Hunter certainly is a victim of it.

Just to be generous, I'll cite Hunter Biden's plea deal that almost went through, but got rejected at the final moment. That's lawfare, plain and simple, a consequence of Republicans trying to do a Benghazi on Biden.
> Even the current limited models change the economics dramatically.

Yes, though at the moment they hype is still a lot bigger than the impact.

But I am fairly confident that even without any new technical ideas for the networks themselves, we will see a lot more economic impact over the next few years, as people work out how to use these new tools.

(Of course, the networks will also evolve still.)
That was also true of quite a lot of early CGI, but most people would say that things have improved. I think we're on the cusp of rapid improvement in AI video as well, in part spurred on by skilled people using the tools we currently have.

I came across the following recently. I think a casual viewer would assume it was just Bakshi-style rotoscoped animation without a major AI component.

Not OP, nor have I seen Succession. But I do work with many very wealthy folks. It's a completely different world in some ways, and utterly banal in most others. If I were to summarize, it'd be that the Hedonic Treadmill effect is real, and you get used to whatever level of anything is around very quickly. Adjust for that, and the problems people have are as relatable as any other person.
Thank-you. I found if a reviewer requests a rename, ask what it ought to be. That avoids a lot of back-and-forth, and the suggestion returns vetted.

We chose C++ because it combines powerful abstraction facilities with faithful representation of the underlying machine...

Not the OP, but when you go down the illegal route, it is much easier to find whatever you want to watch, watch it on any device with no limitations, etc. The fragmentation and limitations of the usual big services is a nuisance.

Apparently the TV series Game of Thrones cost just under $600m to produce[1], and George R. R. Martin earnt something like $100m from royalties as its original author[2]. Although access to the author for advice and publicity must be valuable, that is nonetheless a very large proportion of the profits that I'm sure many studios would rather not have to share!

As an ideal parent, you should give your kids access to activities that seem dangerous, without actually being all too dangerous.

Kids seem to have an internal dial for a desired level of perceived danger, and get up to weird stuff, if they don't get enough perceived danger.
Pretty much at any point in their development they have had amazing visuals and disappointing game play compared to other games already on the market. As a concrete example, game play wise it has been chasing Elite Dangerous since it was released 10 years ago. I believe Eve Online too (but you can't get out of the cockpit there?). Even single player Starfield. I think the project has been taking so long because, when they release something, it needs not be a disappointment.

Supposedly, the single player Squadron 42 part of Star Citizen is feature complete, and if they can get that out of the door will be telling on what the MMO release would be like. Personally, I'm expecting Squadron 42 to be comparable to other releases that year, but better voice acting, more jank, PC only, and poor controller support. And given the focus on 'players making their own story', I'm expecting the MMO to suffer the same reception as Elite Dangerous with a shiny engine trying to hide tedious and repetitive game play (but many people like that, and it might remain a profitable niche game).
the article argues that prions do not facilitate the flow of information in the same way the Dogma states. They simply change the way the protein is folded, but not the amino acids in the structure. I disagree with this (I have papers in this field that say the opposite), but that is the argument.
Honestly, I forgot all about that aspect of ancient programming. It probably made one more careful, or more patient. (Source: typing 6502 programs into a hex "monitor" which is a way to edit memory, view memory, and issue "jump to this memory address".)
imho: do not use submodules. Only need to deal with them when working on someone else's project where they didn't know this rule.
A command running in my usual shell context can just change my dotfiles to do whatever it wanted anyway. There's little value these days in the traditional root-user separation. You don't actually need "admin rights" to do practically anything malware might want to do.
In the link it seems the last patent in US go as long as 2027?

Is the network only trained on the source code, or does it have access to the results of running the code, too?
Less expensive yes, but more importantly much more convenient. When 'all' the shows exist on a combination of Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, Paramount, Disney+, and Max... you can easily get to $100/mo+ if you were to subscribe to all of them. Then, if you want to watch something from an international viewership, it might not even be available in your region. In addition, you now have to figure out which service offers what program... which for certain not-current shows can be maddening (some seasons on some services, some on others, some not even available).

As GabeN has stated: piracy is a service problem, not a pricing problem.
Probably historical... it wasn't that many years ago that the Red Delicious was the go-to and it wasn't the mealy, thick-skinned apple of today. If you've got hundreds or even thousands of acres planted, it's a once a generation thing to bet on a new variety or move to a different fruit. I suspect today the red delicious market is two-fold: some government programs (think food banks) and the juice market. There might also be apple sauce producers etc who really don't care about variety, they just want cheap

Category theory is a great tool for thinking about programming language design (especially types in functional programming). In some sense that translates to better programming, but there’s a lot more math topics that are likely to be directly applicable day to day.

Do you know how to evaluate a polynomial efficiently? Fit a curve to points? Solve a linear system? What the Fourier transform is for? If no, hold off on the categories.
I wonder how easy it is to render the timeline in a custom manner
Somewhat agree. Lobster/Crab are supposed to be kept alive until immediately before cooking them (in some cases lobster tails are kept frozen but those aren't as often MP, crab can be canned but again that's usually not sold at MP), and in both cases they're pretty simple to cook at least decently, so I don't worry much about food safety or them coming out awful. Regardless, even restaurants that sell a lot of lobster tend to use MP so the point stands.
Also the TclHash table implementation is quite good and independent of the Tcl interpreter runtime.
Thank you for clarifying! That's helpful.

> - those scenarios are mindware (and we just trust that kernel devs can and will recall it as appropriate)

Ah, I see. I don't think they're "mindware" so much as they're good targets for making data-driven decisions about. Unlike C memory safety which no amount of measurement or careful thinking can solve, the relative merits of RAII/direct allocations vs arena allocations can be determined case-by-case through running a profiler and trying out things. Rust doesn't really lock you in to one approach, especially at the scale of an individual device driver.

I think there is space here for a more sophisticated critique of Rust, which is that trying out alternative strategies can take some effort and still deliver negative results. For example, I was recently doing some profiling on an application and found that deserializing Cargo's metadata format (and malloc within it) show up a bunch. Out of curiosity, I tried switching the cargo-metadata crate [1] to using zero-copy deserialization. It took a couple hours to do. The end result was around a 15% performance improvement in the deserialization process -- not nothing, but also not hugely impactful, and overshadowed by the act of generating and reading the JSON on Cargo's side. But negative results are still useful.

Also, this is how mental arithmetic is taught in modern elementary schools!

Lots of focus on "ten friends", and performing addition and subtraction by splitting into parts to make "ten" and then adding or subtracting the leftover:

8+5 = 8 + (10-8) + 5 - (10-8) = 10 + (5-2) = 10+3 = 13

13-5 = 10 + (3-5) = 10 + -(5-3) = 10-2 = 8

The weird parts of Roman numerals is the lack of clear place value separation (no spacing, variable-length places I, II, VIII, etc), and using 5 V and 10 X so 2 different scales for place value, and the asymmetry of I,II,III,IV, V instead of the more consistent I,II,IIV,IV,V, and using relative position for sign instead of an explicit negative sign symbol.
So? The US dollar has funded terrorism in the Middle East for decades and we don't see the Feds becoming concerned about the way this currency works.
Prepositions are some of the least translatable bits of language. For that matter, even without translation they tend to get slippery within a language, especially over time (one that springs to mind is the whole “quarter of” referring to a time which I first encountered some 50 years ago and still don’t know if it’s quarter to or quarter after).¹

2. And this knowledge will promptly disappear from my brain five minutes later, sort of like the guy I knew in my 20s whose name was either Jack or Chad and to this date, I still am not sure, but I do know that every single time I called him by name, I got it wrong and it totally wasn’t on purpose even though he didn’t believe me.
Hypervisor overhead.
This is not a board where you put resistors, capacitors and ICs on a substrate.

These are chip layouts used for fabbing chips. I don't think you will find many open source designs.

EDAs works closely with foundries (TSMC, Samsung, GlobalFoundaries). This is the bleeding edge stuff to get the best performance for NVIdia or AMD or Intel.

As an individual, it's very hard and expensive to fab your chip (though there are companies that pool multiple designs).
Not always. Employing Sysadmins doesn't mean Hetzner is cheaper because those "Sysadmin/Ops type people" are being hired to managed the Kubernetes cluster. And Ops type people who truly know Kubernetes are not cheap.

Sure, you can get away with legoing some K3S stuff together for a while but one major outage later, and that cost saving might have entirely disappeared.
Lab and semiconductor grade iron isn't notably expensive or difficult compared to other materials. It's just that there are few reasons to purify it beyond what's commonly available from supply houses, unlike more interesting materials like silicon or cesium.

Don't forget the other cool feature of smit: the running man.

When you started an operation, there was animated icon of a man running. If your command succeeded, he'd stop and cheer. If you got an error, he'd trip and fall on his face.

Also, another advantage of AIX was that it included a volume manager and it was enabled by default. Back in the early 1990s, this was fairly unique. Some other operating systems offered, but only as an expensive add-on, so in practice you did without it. Being able to add a disk and just tell the system to move a filesystem over to it was pretty amazing.
Indeed, I've been having this conversation with the junior engineers on my team. UNIX was designed for the days when computers - and the operating system - were shared resources, and each individual's permissions to it had to be strictly defined and controlled. Nowadays, we have users as a vestige, and partially as a hindrance, especially where our applications in production are all single processes deployed in containers.

But anyway, it at least gives them the context on why they're working on these projects to not make containers run as root.
I don't think privilege escalation is a big concern on most personal systems. If you run any malicious code, even unprivileged, you're basically already screwed anyways since the code can access all of your home, upload it, delete/encrypt it, etc.

Some paid pirate services actually do offer good value for the money. I’ve used a torrent caching service that has any torrent that lets me cap my gigabit connection for any torrent that has been crawled by them or user-uploaded, in practice this is a lot, and if they don’t have it, they will act as a client and acquire it for you, including seeding it for as long as you’d like. It costs $1-2 USD a month, well worth it for me.

Paid pirate IPTV streams can have better speeds, better reliability, and less or no ads.
I don’t personally watch live TV so I don’t use these services, but if I did I would definitely pay a small amount for the conveniences above.
I've got MAX, Fubo, Amazon and the biggest cable package but I still pirate ~80% of what I watch just because it is easier, more convenient, no ads or commercials and everything is available. A lot of movies, especially older movies, aren't available as part of the package on any streaming service. They want me to pay an additional fee to "buy" the movie. Except I won't own the movie, I will have a temporary license to watch the movie on their streaming service, which is still laden with ads and other nonsense. No thanks.
Are you suggesting that if you release only a book, anyone could take the story and produce a film based on it, because you didn't publish a film?

Sounds like an opaque, finicky, and non-portable solution to a relatively minor problem.
No code is easy to get started but difficult to customize. Code is a pain to set up but easy to modify.

It really depends how much flexibility you need: if you have to experiment, change on the fly, possibly pivot then the initial investment is usually justified with code. If your requirements are fixed and fit within the existing functionality then a no code platform might be best (for example if you’re building an app version of an existing site that’s close to templates)
Yea, not putting in delimiter and then us having to change our format has bitten me so many times. Delimiter or bust.
