More than just Swift has been influenced by various ideas in Rust. Zig and Vlang are among such other newer, easier, modern features having and somewhat safer languages who claim and show influence.

Languages like Golang, can make a good argument of being the VHS to Betamax, because it is among the easier to learn memory safe languages. Golang is much more strongly positioned to take over C#, Java, and even Python spaces. Not just technically, as a language, but because of the large corporate machinery and jobs behind it, that is the result of being a Google product.

As for Rust's main claim to fame, memory safety, lots of other lesser known languages are hard at work to become direct viable alternatives to Rust. Some of them are: Hylo, Vale, Lobster, etc... Vlang, while not quite trying to aim as high as the others (on memory safety), uses an optional GC (like Nim and Dlang), and is among the safer languages. It then becomes a question of how much the extra burden of Rust is needed, for the project in question.
That's my point exactly, wind resistance is the principal loss of energy.

The microaccelerations in the dead zone will be lesser in magnitude when you have a heavier bike plus system, but it will be more calories per m/s to recoup - while a lighter system will accelerate easier but have more acceleration to do. In the end the dead zone acceleration are calorically going to be exactly the same no matter the weight.

Isn't most of Google from 2006 open source, or at least known in publicly available papers? So someone in the US should be able to re-create Google, and go back to basic page rank.

Is there anything preventing new search engines? Except scale and servers. But what most of us want is just plain old ordinary search as it existed in 2006, so that is probably reproducible.

I know there are some other engines. Like DuckDuckGo, but just found out they are really just Bing.

Which I guess begs the question, if Google Sucks so bad, why doesn't Bing take over??? It isn't as bad, even if not great.

How do you think a manager should handle the case where a company forces the manager to select one person from the team for a bogus (in bad faith) PIP?
In London there are platforms which are shared between lines that use trains with completely different proportions, car lengths, and door spacing. Even with half-height doors it would be difficult to come up with a system that could handle both the small deep-tube trains of the Piccadilly line and the large, sub-surface trains of the District line.

Other metros around the world that have retrofitted PEDs had the advantage of having fleets of trains with standardised dimensions.

Of course, this wouldn't stop them selectively installing platform edge doors at stations that do not have this issue. The most modern lines (central section of the Elizabeth line, and the eastern section of the Jubilee line) do have PEDs.
> sometimes over-dramatized films are about)

For a film that's meant for entertaining, this is all you well ever see. The drama is what the mass audience can understand. The mass audience will not grasp the majority of the science/engineering and will get bored.

There are some very science oriented content, but their popularity is dwarfed by the dramatic stories of the people. It's just like what true hacking in films is mostly just made up stuff to look cool rather than just the boring work that hacking truly is because nobody will watch it. They might as well cut to a YouTube stream of someone live coding.

grep has a --line-buffered option that does the job fine in most cases. Just set in your aliases grep='grep --line-buffered', that way you get the correct behavior when you tail logs piped to a sequence of greps, and you avoid the performance penalty in scripts.
Usually you want some way of monitoring how much energy your panels are producing. This helps to realise you need to clean the panels or do some maintenance if panels start failing. Or it may be useful for scheduling home appliance usage.

But in practice this almost always means connecting to the internet, because the simplest interface is wifi and data collection/display at the producer's servers. So any extra features == internet connection.

It does not, what google is optimizing for is ad click-through not organic results click-through. The whole model is you will search for X see a couple of ads and a sea of bad results and opt to click on the ad.

It's the same reason that if you search for "graphics card" on amazon and sort by price you will get 20 pages of "Graphics card Holders" and "Graphics Card Elbows". They want you to not actually use the search just click on their ad.

And bot AI doesn't have to be super smart to be fun to play against. I recall the erudition of John Romero in saying highly intelligent, patient bots are less fun; usually big, dumb enemies are the most fun.

Duke Nukem 64 bots were fun to play against. All they did was walk in the direction of the nearest opponent (with some left/right randomness), while hitting 'activate' (to could get through some doors), while shooting if an opponent was in sight. They didn't even change weapon (except automatically when a new one was picked up), and didn't avoid traps (pipebombs and laser trip bombs). Primitive yet so much fun.

Yes I acknowledge the differences.

We could still install PEDs with imprecise doors. Ie more doors than required. Larger doors than required. The main thing is for the door to only open while a train is in front of it, and all the train doors be unobstructed.

Ie won’t hurt much to have a PED open to the train wall or opens double the size of the current trains’ door.

Completely agree. I actually think there's a huge opportunity for game companies to create bots that have been fine tuned on notable players, former tournament champions, etc. so then you have your base AI bots, and if players want they can essentially purchase virtualized opponents.

> so that is probably reproducible

Is it? How many more pages get published each day? If you include each YouTube video and social media post, it's easily several orders of magnitude. Organizing this kind of firehose isn't easy, neither is prioritizing/ranking it.

2006 was child's play in comparison.
PageRank relies on pages from one domain linking to pages on another domain as the main signal of quality. But no one does that anymore, because of PageRank. Most cross-domain links are from "partnerships" made under the explicit premise of boosting PageRank score. The metric became the goal, invalidating the metric.

Another factor is that since 2006, social media has displaced blogs. Blogs were a rich source of "authentic" cross-domain links, and the movement of online discussions to consolidated and closed platforms has dried up that well. Some even go so far as to pin the downturn of blogging on the demise of Google Reader.
It looks to me that the real problem with Google is that Google has become the most bureaucratic company in the past 15 years or so. Case in point, how many product managers are in the Infra org? Tens since 2019, right? But then, why does an internal Infra org need so many PMs? If Infra is like that, we can imagine how Google functions.

It was even simpler in that they aren't confident of mass adoption. I'm unsure if that's Rust's fault (and honestly, finding any job in this market is a small miracle), but it's a valid factor to not want to be stuck to something forever niche.
It kind of just depends on what the player likes, and the context.

In your experience, are bursts of violence or psychotic episodes from the elderly common? Every so often I read news stories of physical abuse against carers and volunteers, but I'm not sure of the actual frequency or severity of such cases or what protocols in place to mitigate them.
This time, it's a malicious manufacturer, next time it's a malicious hacker. Doesn't seem like connecting these to the internet is worth it.
The trouble is that there needs to be some way for the grid operator to take x % of generating capability off-line or bring y % more on-line, and the panels themselves can't decide autonomously, so there must be an external data connection. Maybe not through internet but cellphone data connection, but the grid operator has to have control about how much power goes into the grid.
This is a very uncharitable and hatingly-blinded take.
Even the article you're attempting to draw support from didn't attempt to claim that "Hitler took a lot of influence" from Nietzsche. At most it was second-hand, through another guy whom barely anyone remembers these days, and who who woefully miscontrued him anyway.

Nietzsche was to Hitler what Marx was to Stalin.

An e-bike going 40mph (or even slower) can easily kill you or someone else.
Yeah; I think that's essentially where the disconnect is rooted for me. It seems to me (a non-lawyer, to be clear) that it's damn hard to make the case for model training necessarily being meat-and-potatoes "infringement" as things are defined in Title 17 Chapter 1. I see it as firmly in the grey area between "a mere change of physical medium or deterministic mathematical transformation clearly isn't a defense against infringement on its own" and "giant toke come on, man, Terry Brooks was obviously just ripping off Tolkien". There might be a tension between what constitutes "substantial similarity" through analog and digital lenses, especially as the question pertains to those who actually distribute weights.

It's a problem that rankings changed so dramatically and no-one really understands why.

The NIST guidelines are among the most competent from a government source that exist in my opinion. A practical issue is that even if we legislated those guidelines, many other national governments demand compliance with their own published guidelines which often directly contradict NIST.

This creates challenges for companies that operate in multiple countries. I’ve seen the situation multiple times where “security requirements” that span borders were mutually exclusive yet are mandated on both sides of the border. It is impossible to comply yet compliance is expected. Fortunately, the audits are purely superficial; you do your best to comply with whichever bureaucracy is fussiest and no one looks too closely. This is a suboptimal outcome on many levels. Trying to harmonize these contradictory requirements through an international treaty organization like ISO would produce something so watered down as to be pointless theater.

I would generally endorse the NIST guidelines as a standard. Unfortunately, many other countries reject that standard and require you to comply with some other guidelines to do business in their country. This is a problem.
Hard to put a finger on, but it feels like they are trying to be clever, but forgot the clever part. I don't like being tricked while I read unless it challenges my thinking.

I'm sorry if this is overly critical.
>not all ways of scoring a language are as good either

I feel you understand the author' point but still disagree for some reason.

I'll put the metaphor back to programming. There's programming for quality and programming for financial gain. If your metrics are the latter, then Javascript is the best language. But many people here do think as engineers, and thus there are other qualities that "are not as good" ways to score a language but maximize the ability to deliver a stable product.
Thanks for your interest! TL;DR: pg_duckdb is an extension that runs on the same server as Postgres, while MyDuck operates as a standalone replica that can run on a separate server.

Details:

pg_duckdb uses DuckDB as an execution engine while keeping the data stored in Postgres in its usual row-oriented format. It identifies queries that can be optimized using DuckDB and executes them there. This is achieved by registering a replacement scan in DuckDB, allowing it to directly scan Postgres data, converting it into an analytics-optimized columnar format on the fly.
MyDuck, on the other hand, functions as a standby server replicating changes from a primary Postgres server. The replicated data is stored in DuckDB’s native columnar format. This approach leverages both DuckDB’s optimized columnar storage and its execution engine, generally resulting in faster query performance compared to scanning Postgres data directly.
Additionally, pg_duckdb is currently limited to full table scans — it doesn’t yet support skipping unnecessary data even with restrictive WHERE conditions (though there are plans to add index-based scans: https://github.com/duckdb/pg_duckdb/issues/243). In contrast, DuckDB’s native storage, used by MyDuck, includes extensive support for data skipping (a.k.a. filter pushdown).

Hope this clarifies the differences! Feel free to reach out with any more questions.

> It’s not that technology isn’t revered; far from it. It’s just that “stopping Hitler,” “beating the Soviets,” and grand visions for society have been replaced with visions of creating lucrative businesses.

Any kind of societal grand vision we had has been falling apart since about 1991. Slowly at first (all the talk about what to do with the "peace dividend" we were going to get after the fall of the Soviet Union) And that accelerated with the advent of the internet and then accelerated even more when social media came on the scene. We no longer have any kind of cohesive vision for what the future should look like and I don't see one emerging any time soon. We can't even agree on what's true anymore.

I ascribed no moral value judgement on which is better. However , Tim O'Reilly isn't exactly shy about who the target of those early Open Source conferences (OSCON) were, and what they were attempting to achieve - which they succeeded at.
The problem is the anti-AI people who complain about AI are going for several steps in the chain (and often they are vague about which ones they are talking about at any point).

As well as the "copying" of content some are also claiming that the output of a LLM should result in paying royalties back to the owning of the material used in training.

So if an AI produces a sitcom script then the copyright holders of those tv shows it ingested should get paid royalties. In additional to the money paid to copy files around.

Which leads to the precedent that if a writer creates a sitcom then the copyright holders of sitcoms she watched should get paid for "training" her.
This is a horrifically obtuse and offensive comment just because Go isn't Lisp-y or Haskell-y enough for you.
