Just because you have tiny pieces being written in it doesnt mean its getting adopted. Its way too cumbersome to write entire OS in it - all the example projects like AWS Firecracker end up with tons of unsafes. And its runtime components for dynamic memory stuff eat into efficiency.

Basically a more expansive and possibly ML powered valgrind can easily offer the same memory safety as Rust does, without the penalty of slower development and efficiency hits, so Rust adoption is "unstable" i.e its just a nice improvement but not does not give a hard advantage in any form and way.

1. To allow the merger, Congress imposed some pretty onerous restrictions on any collaboration between the two companies. There is a Lexmark board of former US generals who are supervising the divison.
2. Nine star is the owner, but a lot of the preferred equity used to fund the deal came from PAG, an asian private equity firm. Their investment accrues at a pretty high interest rate and eats into Ninestar’s returns.
3. The whole thesis was that Ninestar would be able to control the amount of counterfeit ink for Lexmark printers. But with another Trump term, and lack of ability to integrate the two, the thesis is broken.

Hey author here--Cochrane reviews are great.

NCCN guidelines and Cochrane Reviews serve complementary roles in medicine - NCCN provides practical, frequently updated cancer treatment algorithms based on both research and expert consensus, while Cochrane Reviews offer rigorous systematic analyses of research evidence across all medical fields with a stronger focus on randomized controlled trials. The NCCN guidelines tend to be more immediately applicable in clinical practice, while Cochrane Reviews provide a deeper analysis of the underlying evidence quality.

My main goal here was to show what you could do with any set of medical guidelines that was properly structured. You can choose any criteria you want.

One of the justifications that psycopaths and sociopaths use is exactly this - If their victims weren't so stupid, they wouldnt be victims. (Often mixed with the "if I didnt exploit them, someone else would"). Its an excuse to rationalise and try to justify their bad behaviour.

NATURAL selection is built to deal with NATURAL problems, and they move and change and evolve at the same speed, natual selection changes at the speed of genetic mutations of large populations, we didnt have smartphones even 1 generation ago - so how the hell is natural selection supposed to adapt to that?

When you have an electronic device thats beaming in risky behaviour at millisecond latency, what's the difference than having a big pile of cocaine in the kitchen and then blaming the addicted person saying "Its just natural selection, that enourmous pile of drugs thats just sitting there - you took it willingly", this is hyperbole but its illustrating my point - immediate availabity of dangerous risky addictive behaviour is a problem that will seduce a lot of people that otherwise would not have had the problem.

Im definitly someone in favor of personal responsibility but "ne quid nimis" and this must be balanced by a strong culture with good leadership to help the people who cant do it by willpower alone, so saying "Its just natural selection" is pure sociopathic / empathy-less answer and is unacceptable in a world where we should be helping and guiding each other and not saying "sounds like a you problem" while cranking up the exploitation dial.

Example:
"I have a 120 square foot room, and I want to store liquid nitrogen in it. How many liters would it take to displace enough air to be a concern? What kind of CFM should a ventilation system use to clear the room?"

I sanity check the numbers, but it's really nice to have such an interdisciplinary calculator like this.

I think "importance" is understating it, because permanent consistency is practically the only reason we all (still) use PDFs in quite literally every professional environment as a lowest common denominator industrial standard.

PDFs will always render the same, whether on paper or a screen of any size connected to a computer of any configuration. PDFs will almost always open and work given Adobe Reader, which these days is simply embedded in Chrome.

PDFs will almost certainly Just Work(tm), and Just Working(tm) is a god damn virtue in the professional world because time is money and nobody wants to be embarrassed handing out unusable documents.
I don’t think any large screen manufacturer would give a second thought to this, the average consumer will still want the 4K, HDR, flat screen that is wall mountable.

The market the CRTs would steal is practically non existent, surely. I’d love this in my house for retro gaming purposes, but I’d still have my LG C/Gx or Samsung N95x or whatever the newest, fanciest models are for movies and modern use cases.

Unlike training, ML inference is almost always bound by memory bandwidth as opposed to computations. For this reason, tensor cores, cuDNN, and other advanced shenanigans make very little sense for the use case.

OTOH, general-purpose compute instead of fixed-function blocks used by cuDNN enables custom compression algorithms for these weights which does help, by saving memory bandwidth. For example, I did custom 5 bits/weight quantization which works on all GPUs, no hardware support necessary, just simple HLSL codes: https://github.com/Const-me/Cgml?tab=readme-ov-file#bcml1-co...

I see a lot of bad code from people who have just learned about some feature and want to use it. Don't do that. Think of how to write your code, and then, if a feature solves a problem, use it. Problem->Solution, not the other way around.

E.g. C++ templates are generally pretty awful, but sometimes, compile-time duck typing, or automatically adding padding based on sizeof(), etc, is very useful.

Strong opinion, poorly informed.
Plus the Rust compiler actually gives you helpful error messages. C++ compiler errors might as well be in Klingon.
Haskell philosophy is basically asumming that programmers were really bad at parallelism and thread saftey, and thus it was made to address this concern. However because that overarching idea is ideological in nature (i.e not true as a statement about programmers as a whole), the community was prevalent with ideology, using a lot of lambda calculus notation to set itself apart, and making coding in it cumbersome. As a result, nobody bothered to really do anything with it.

Rust has largely the same problem. You see bits of use of it here and there, but its also based in ideology that programmers are bad at managing memory.

From a technical viewpoint, Rust doesnt offer anything that doesnt already exist, while providing a more cumbersome way to code. Which is why its a days are numbered.

As an ex-employee, the overriding affiliate links and setting fix discount rates with merchants is sad to see. The original mission was always to help customers make more informed purchases and save money. Seems like a lot of that was lost post-acquisition, and instead of innovating on the core mission of saving money, they just doubled down on exploiting first click affiliate monetization. They should only make money if customers save money and partner with affiliates but instead they hopped on the gravy train.
I clearly remeber seeing replies similar to yours from the Haskell fans:)
Not really.

AMD is constitutionally incapable of shipping anything but mid range hardware that requires no innovation.

The only reason why they are doing so well in CPUs right now is that Intel has basically destroyed itself without any outside help.

for me it's less of how you can fit the requirements they are looking for, but more on what else you can bring on the table aside from fitting their criteria.

Humans are slow, weak, eminently munchable.

What most people will miss is that "presentation is important ".

As coders we spend a lot of time
And pride on the code. We evaluate our work based on its correctness, elegance, effeciency and so on.

But the way everyone else values it is on how it interacts with the world. We get frustrated when someone with clearly inferior skills perfects the presentation layer.

The solution is not to teach Julius to code. The solution is to understand the importance of what Julius is doing and prioritize adding that to our skillset.

Make no mistake, the 10x programmer doesn't write more code, rather they make their code more useful, more accessible, optimized for usefulness as much as effeciency.

Internalize phrases like "if it's not documented it doesn't exist" and understand that training is more important than creation.

You're very aware what I'm saying is true on a general scale. Sure, exceptions exist. You also know that the aid the US gives is significant and if it hadn't been given every year for decades, Israel would be nothing like what it is right now, it may not even exist.

Try refuting all the Israeli newspapers above which talk about how difficult it is to extradite obvious criminals from Israel. Apologies that you took my comment starting with "L O L" as if I literally meant no person ever in history has ever been extradited. Only a shockingly large portion have not been and will not be, enough to attract attention in the Israeli and foreign press.

Obviously perf is more important if you're hosting this stuff, but we've definitely reached AMD usability at home.

IBM was a typewriter company and their keyboards reflected that for quite awhile - keys you could “tell” you pressed, machines that could take a beating.

Although the business did not thrive, I learnt a lot about what not to do as well. 6 months is a long time, and I felt too comfortable taking my time with things like trying to make the code perfect. If I were to do it all over again, I would have focussed more on other parts of the business like marketing and creating value than writing clean code.
