I'm the wrong person to ask probably because for me Rust seemed like home almost immediately and that's not most people's reaction.

The brute optimisation for Rust is being done by LLVM, just like if you used Clang to compile C++, so your pure number crunching ought to be fine. If anything you may find it's easier to end up correctly expressing the thing you meant with good performance in Rust. If you rely on a C++ library of geometric algorithms, clearly "I can't find an equivalent in Rust" would be a showstopper and so it's worth stopping past crates.io to try a few searches for whatever keywords are in your head

Also, if you know that learning new stuff fogs up your process, you might not want to try to both learn Rust and work on this novel project simultaneously. Some people thrive pairing learning a language with a new project, others hate that and would rather pick, either do something old in a new language, or do something new in an existing one.

If you decide this isn't the right time but keep feeling a twinge, I encourage you to try it for something else, not everybody is going to like Rust, but it's a rare C++ programmer who spends serious time learning Rust and then decides there was nothing they valued from the experience -- particularly if you have no experience in an ML (F# or Ocaml are modern examples)
Nuclear disasters would have to happen every month for years to get to the number of deaths per GWh produced that coal has. And till we have vastly cheaper storage - fossil fuels are the only alternative to nuclear for baseload.

Just finished the full edit.. check it out. If the full airport is made out of wood, seems like it's getting towards plausible, or at least not obviously wrong

Most uncertainty is how much mass the ceiling is compared to rest of airport. Maybe it's more like 1/10th. Hmm

Especially the first 3 chapters, set in the near future (which is ~today now).
Kinda similar, the Arizona one has a beam line that alone is 10 meters and requires three separate rooms, the Belgian one is maybe 3-4 m long in total.
The goal is to handle things similar to how rust on the CPU does (shared traits with different implementations, intrinsics, platform-specific modules, user replaceable traits like alloc or panic handler and "asm" as a last ditch case).

We already have a lot (we have many intrinsics and an `arch` module like `std::arch`, asm! to include raw spirv, etc). For example, here are the intrinsics: https://rust-gpu.github.io/rust-gpu/api/spirv_std/arch/index... and here is support for ray tracing (which obviously is not on every card: https://rust-gpu.github.io/rust-gpu/api/spirv_std/ray_tracin...).

Vulkan has a way to query and specify different GPU capabilities and Rust-GPU uses that.

Rust and Vulkan have many of the tools we need for progressive enhancement, we are not focused on lowest common denominator.
> If you want the ads gone, PAY or stop using the service.

Paying is not always an option and, when it is, it's often ridiculously overpriced. Websites send me their ads, I choose not to look at them. Should I somehow be forced to consume adverts on television, prevented from leaving the room or muting the sound?

I would have more sympathy if there were no alternative, but there's a very easy one where everyone wins: static ads. I won't block those and I can't block them!

Stances like this probably feel good to write out, but they miss the reality that when running a media business, relying on one revenue stream is dangerous. That’s why newspapers had classified ads, even though they charged a nominal fee to subscribe. People won’t pay $5 a day to subscribe to a newspaper, but the ads subsidize enough of it to make it so that a paid subscription is accessible to more people.

On the internet, the fact is this: Most companies do not offer a reduced ad load in exchange for your subscription money. In fact, they will be happy to take money from every source they can. The fact that The Verge is doing so reflects that they understand their audience and are trying to meet them halfway. It also reduces the cost of the subscription for you, the end user.

This feels like a situation where an organization tries doing something laudable, but still gets criticized for it.
> Not a single one of OpenAI’s models can compete with the Claude series, it’s embarrassing.

Do you happen to have comparisons available for o1-pro or even o1 (non-preview) that you could share since you seems to have tried them all?
Even though i hate ads as much as most commenters… as advocate of the devil:

This black-and-white thinking [1] is also bad. What’s the point if they show 0 ads, subscription price will then have to go up to cover the costs, and nobody signs up so they go bankrupt. They also have to be able to survive in the current world/reality, even if they WANT to show 0 ads.

My point is: we don’t have any insight in their financial data/revenue/costs.

I fear such civilian attacks are going to become more commonplace over time. It is well hypothesized that should China invade Taiwan, Taiwan would destroy the three gorges dam and completely annihilate a good chunk of China. It is just as much a deterrent as nuclear weapons, probably worse in this specific case.

This is why you can't go for the throat of a regime anymore, even if you have overwhelming force. Because if you do then, well, you are already going to jail for war crimes anyway.
Even the gap between the $200 model and the $20 model is tiny. It’s just designed to position the company based on pricing (it must be useful if they are charging this much for it) rather than reality (the new model cannot operate at 20-30% of a very competent human).

I think this is proof that Open AI have nothing at all and AGI is as far away as fusion and self driving cars on London roads.

Show HN: GraphVis – Interactive Graph Algorithm Visualisations
I've developed GraphVis, an interactive web tool that visualizes graph algorithms such as Dijkstra’s, A*, Bellman-Ford, Prim’s, Kruskal’s, DFS, Kahn's, and more. It offers:

Step-by-step Visualizations: Understand the inner workings of algorithms with detailed animations.

Time Complexity Reference: Quickly grasp the efficiency of each algorithm.

Cycle Detection Techniques: Explore methods for detecting cycles in both directed and undirected graphs.

Clean C++ Code: Access comprehensive and reusable C++ implementations for all included algorithms.

GraphVis aims to bridge the gap between theory and practice, making it easier to learn and teach graph algorithms. Any feedback or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.(I was not aware of the GraphViz project when creating this, but I am struggling to think of another name).
The key here is that that "woosh" sound you hear is not a bird or a plane or even Superman, it's the joke flying right over your head, my friend ;-)

But, in all seriousness, thanks for that Chesterton quote. I really, really like it.

If you like contemplating our moral nature as human beings (and it looks like you do, thank God), you've come to the right place, my dear, dear friend (not at all joking about that).

Hey everyone!

I just launched roast.design, a project where I help indie hackers, startup founders, and creators improve their websites by offering a free video roast of their site. Here's what I'm offering:

Completely free website roasts! Just submit your website, and I’ll send you a personalized video with honest feedback and actionable tips.

No strings attached—I’m doing this to genuinely help people level up their sites.

Personal goal: I want to get better at talking in front of a camera, and this project helps me practice while doing something productive.

I know how much effort goes into building a website, but sometimes a fresh pair of eyes can catch the things you might have missed. Whether it’s design quirks, confusing UX, or content issues, I’ll call it out (but in a constructive, non-brutal way).

A bit about me:
I’ve been a web designer for 12 years, with some coding experience and a bit of background in startups. I’ve worked on a mix of projects over the years and love helping people make websites that are clear and easy to use. This project is a way for me to share what I know while getting better at presenting ideas on video.

Future plans for roast.design:

Upgrade my gear with a better mic and camera.

Add testimonials and more roast examples as the site grows.

Maybe introduce deeper dives into specific topics like usability, accessibility, or SEO.

If this sounds helpful, check it out! I’d love to see what you’re working on and provide feedback.

Also, if you have any advice for improving my roasts or just want to chat about website design, I’m all ears!

Cheers,
Madalin
That is the key, and can't be overstated.
Many jurisdictions like the UAE and Singapore also demand Beneficiary Ownership reports, but obviously that does nothing to prevent the countries from being used for shell corporations. Not to mention, you can get away with it by simply reporting your source of funds as a gift from a rando, complete with a fake letter that no one will bother going in detail to verify.
No bootcamp, university, albeit only a BSc, because I didn't feel like academia afterwards with a full time job and now I've moved on.

9 years of professional experience.

Having worked and paid to do so with Java, Scala, Kotlin, Python, JavaScript, Typescript, Python

Been working with Rust since 2015, have prior experience with C++, had to work with C, Haskell and logic programming (not prolog) at University.

Also did C#, Golang, Lua, Zig and many more.

Does that give more authority to my statement? I sincerely hope not!

The somewhat obvious thing you seem to be missing there is that the money isn’t being extracted by force.

> Had to cancel my subscription, no idea why people still promote it everywhere like it is 100x times better than chatgpt.

You need to learn how to ask it the right questions.
First: you are totally out of topic because the article mentionned tackle the practice of serving ads to paying users accessing a paywall.

> The advertising model makes the rich subsidize services for the poor, and I think that's a very good thing, and many people underappreciate the extend to which it happens.

Ads are an aggression on the mind of the people with real psychological consequences. Imagine a public libraries where you should either pay a ticket or be targeted every few minutes by an advertizing team to interrupt your lecture, slap a flyer on top of your book, holding your arm to prevent your from removing it all this while shouting at you offers for a service. And that would be the rich subsidizing the service for the poor and would be a good thing. This is bonkers.

> On that note, I'm somewhat annoyed that we're culturally ok with people who use online services and block ads, and yet we're not ok with people who ride on public transit and don't buy tickets, even though it's basically the same thing and a very similar business model.

Not really. Paywall is similar business model, You pay the price, you get the service. Ads are just Ads.

I am perfectly free to decide to use whatever technology exist to remove ads from my sights when walking in the streets, or close my eyes. Same has to be for the internet.

Also, online medias lost any right to pretend we should see ads when they decided to go the unethical way and act like criminals that redirect our traffic to external parties without our consent. I was perfectly fine when ads were few and far between, not covering half the screen, served locally and only a click on the ad would send me to the advertiser.
Hacketisms: Catechisms for a Hackathon
Interesting question, and actually the answer could be no (surprisingly). Some US nukes use varying compositions of high explosives in the primary stage. You have to set them off in a particular order, and that's the launch code (or part of it presumably). Even possessing the nukes, it would be hard to work out that sequence, since testing the explosives is destructive. And if you fire them in the wrong order, the primary fizzles and the bomb doesn't work.

(I've no idea if the Russian weapons used such a system)
In his defence of insurance companies, he sure makes it clear that private insurance is not good at protecting the consumer when compared to the public option. Seems like universal medical insurance is the solution based on his arguments.
> "Extreme UV" and "soft X-rays" are in the same part of the spectrum.

This is true only in the exact same way that the statement "UV and visible light is in the same part of the spectrum", or maybe more clearly "the eyeball and the eyelid are in the same part of the body".
I always find these conversations strange.

If you offer content for free I'm not going to pay for it. I don't tip, I don't buy micro transactions in games, I don't pay for discord nitro or buy "collector's edition" versions of games or twitch subscriptions or anything like that.

Simply, if I don't have to pay I don't. And I certainly won't waste my life watching ads just so someone can earn a fraction of a cent.

I don't feel any need to justify that, I don't feel bad about it. These tactics earn tons of money, and if that ever stops they'll stop doing it and do something else instead. Until then I'll happily take advantage of all the free stuff. Someone else wants to donate to subsidize me that's great, go right ahead. I'm gonna keep my money.
tl;dr: he used 4 raspberry pi 5s, and created a k8s cluster using microk8s.

There isn't so much value in this article, also not an explanation of how things were done...

The chosen case looks nice, but for a cluster of PIs it looks like the wrong choice.

In any case, seems like the author enjoyed his work :)
I answered you in a letter. Of course, I understand that this is only a message. Thank you for your offer of help.
So we’re clear, the tagged template string approach gives you a string that uses parameters properly (see the example in the README of that project that does it); it’s perfectly compatible with prepared-statement caching.

And actually on second consideration, you probably can’t use binding parameters here: you’re trying to slot numbers in as JSON values inside a string! Maybe you’d have to write vec_distance_L2(embedding, ?), with parameter JSON.stringify([+aroma, +flavor, +acid, +sweet]).
There was an article from Uber on why they shifted from Postgres to Mysql: https://www.uber.com/en-IN/blog/postgres-to-mysql-migration/

I don't know how much of that article points are still valid.

The other part in favor of mysql (in my opinion) are that there are lots of companies that use mysql in production - so the access patterns, and its quirks are very well defined
Companies like Square, YouTube, Meta, Pinterest, now Uber all use mysql. From blind, Stripe was also thinking of moving all its fleet from Mongo to mysql

Perception wise, it looks like companies needing internet scale data are using mysql
Not just let of technical experience, but the experience they do have is scary. Gregory Smith, for example, who is "the former CFO and EVP of operations at Boeing. He’s been on the board since 2017 and was an interim CEO at Boeing during 2020...probably be directly involved with the Boeing fiasco."

Someone like that should be facing criminal negligence charges, not sitting on boards.
If postgres were worse than the alternatives I wouldn't use it.

And React is worse than the alternatives. All it has going for it is the huge ecosystem.
no antidote is right... the only semi-reasonable idea I had was to pass a law regarding identity proofing of accounts on ALL social media (anyone claiming protections under section 230 would be in this bucket).

the "blue checkmark" would be reserved for any account that has gone through identity proofing (e.g. IAL2). anonymous accounts would still be allowed of course but at least you would have a clear way to differentiate bots and propaganda vs. actual real people with known identities. not to say that identity-proofed accounts would not still be posting sh*t but it would be a better system overall
Nicotine’s fine. The issue with smoking and chewing tobacco is the delivery system, particularly smoking. It’s a shame, because pipe tobacco tastes and smells absolutely divine. I think it’s still worth it, but understand how others disagree.
It is true that war can rage in a country and people not on the frontline can live reasonably normal lives. I returned to Kyiv in August of last year, and lived for over a year during some of the worst air attacks on the country.

It’s not so much that there is no danger or the war is far away. I woke up many times to explosions in the distance and air raid alarms in the capital are a daily occurrence. Attacks are absolutely not limited to critical infrastructure. Even if Russia didn’t deliberately target civilian populations (and they definitely do), air defenses don’t vaporize enemy ordnance so it’s going to fall down somewhere, and when attacks are happening in cities then it’s likely that it will land on something populated.

It’s more that the odds of being killed or wounded as a civilian in the capital are higher than in a peaceful country but low enough that the mind just gets used to it and you go on with life.

I finally left Ukraine a few weeks ago, for fear of how bad the winter will be with the infrastructure bombing. My wife and I moved to Budapest. Believe it or not, we miss Kyiv and want to move back in the spring, war notwithstanding.

Having said all that, I was in Baghdad in 2006 and I do not understand why any Iraqi family would move back there during that time, unless they were Kurdish and moved to the northern Kurdish territory.
Uh, group A and group C are the same. We would see much more preventative care if such care was free at time of service.
Rust is a continuous additional investment of time which will need to happen when writing the code, changing the code, doing the massive refactorings you mention and last but not least when reading the code.

There are benefits to that investment, but likely only in specific kinds of software (such as browsers, kernels, etc) which are relentlessly attacked and for specific kinds of programmers that like to specify things in much detail and don’t mind the associated costs.

The friction comes from pushing Rust as a generic solution for most programmers. See the Rust in the backend efforts for the perfect example.

Gitlab used to stand alone in the "Github replacement" market, but these days Gitea is quickly closing in on them. I hope the competition will drive Gitlab to continue to compete, but the switch to "AI everything" makes me weary for its future.

Without Gitlab, Github would've taken years, maybe even longer, to develop what it has become today. I don't think Gitea and its forks would exist.

Now if only Github would go the extra mile and copy another feature from Gitlab (IPv6 support)…
Concurrent garbage collectors of recent JVM versions (ZGC, Shenandoah) can give you sub-millisecond pause times, i.e. GC pauses are not really an issue any more for typical analytics query workloads. The price to pay is reduced throughput, but a scale-out architecture like Pinot makes it easy to make up for that by adding another node, if needed.
> but I like the idea that I get access to a number of sources for one payment.

For me it wouldn't even need to be all-I-can-read.

I'd be very happy to pay a reasonable fee pr thing I read, and I'd frankly be excited about it. I was a vocal supporter of the original Blendle for this exact reason.

It either need to be

- (almost) everything at one price like Spotify or Apple Music,

- or it needs to be a reasonable price with reasonable terms, say about the same price, (adjusted for inflation) as what it used to cost back when we bought it on DVDs or CDs.
If you only want a hint, in postgres you could always do an EXPLAIN and see the estimated number of rows returned
