I found the following as the first Google result for “rust proc macro AST rewrite” (and I don’t know much about Rust”): https://users.rust-lang.org/t/using-macros-to-modify-ast-to-...

I’m not saying that LLMs can’t be useful for stuff like that, but they haven’t been that much of an improvement over Google search so far. And I always google about what an LLM suggests in any case, to verify and to get a better feeling about the real-world state of the topic in question.
I would say that context matters. We expect certain styles in certain settings.

Bureaucratic style is different from friendly chat style, which is different from lullaby style, which is different from priestly style etc.

You expect to be preached at when visiting a church, but you would be really annoyed being preached at by a waiter. A doctor talking to you in a casual way "heya buddy, interested if you have the big C?" would be outright frightening, etc.

I don't know, I kind of feel like leetcode interviews are a situation where the employer is cheating. I mean, you're admittedly filtering out a great number of acceptable candidates knowing that if you just find 1 in a 1000, that'll be good enough. It is patently unfair to the individuals that are smart enough to do your work, but poor at some farcical representation of the work. That is cheating.

In my opinion, if a prospective employee is able to successfully use AI to trick me into hiring them, then that is a hell of a lot closer to the actual work they'll be hired to do (compared to leetcode).

I say, if you can cheat at an interview with AI, do it.

There's some general information about it here: https://elinux.org/Android_Binder

A binder transaction behaves sort of like a syscall, in the sense that a client process can immediately, synchronously transfer control to a server thread, rather than just enqueueing a message to be processed whenever the server gets around to it.

This enables Android to separate many of its components into different processes (at different privilege levels), and use binder for RPCs that are on the "critical path" for user interaction, without incurring impractical amounts of overhead or latency.
I would pull the lever in the trolley problem and don't support murdering people for organs.

The reason is that murdering people for organs has massive second-order effects: public fear, the desire to avoid medical care if harvesting is done in those contexts, disproportionate targeting of the organ harvesting onto the least fortunate, etc.

One tip I read somewhere is that if it is attacking someone else (e.g. a child) never try to pull it off as it will cause much worse damage through tearing. Instead try to lift it by its hind legs (which disorients it) and punch it as hard as you can in the ribs (try to break them). Hopefully it will let go.

If you're worried about yourself, some kind of implement (e.g. a stick). I often do this near me when I go out running as people let their dogs off the leash and they can sometimes be aggressive.
I develop a language learning tool that uses flags for languages extensively.

I know that they have flaws. The problem is, there isn't any better pictorial representation, and they work well enough that it's better than not having one.

For some languages they work very well (e.g. Swedish), for others there may technically be ambiguity but it's clear enough (e.g. the Union Jack for English), and some are more difficult and rely on convention (e.g. the Egyptian flag for Arabic).

The landing page (https://nuenki.app) has a cloud of flags of the supported languages. It's an information dense, easy to scan way of seeing whether your language is supported. Sure, it's not technically 100% accurate, but what's the alternative?
Yeah people keep saying "the map is the territory" when it comes to LLMs presumed ability to reason, but that's nonsense.

I've always just tried to hold a conversation with the candidate, what they think their strengths are weaknesses are and a little probing.

This works especially well if I don't know the area they're strongest in, because then they get to explain it to me. If I don't understand it then it's a pretty clear signal that they either don't understand it well enough or are a poor communicator. Both are dealbreakers.

Otherwise, for me, the most important thing is gauging: Aptitude, Motivation and Trustworthiness. If you have these three attributes then I could not possibly give a shit that you don't know how kubernetes operators work, or if you can't invert a binary tree.

Well, at least if the thing is broken during 2 years post purchase, I can send it back to the seller and either get a repair or my money back, I don't have to pick up the parcel from customs in person (this one is a common annoyance for Germans, made more difficult by the ridiculous opening hours and the Zollämter only being present in the major cities), shipment is faster than 4 weeks aka "economy" and if it burns down my house I can at least drag some poor sod in front of a court and hope they got a corporate liability insurance.

All of that costs money, hence the thing being re-sold for what appears to be a ridiculous markup.

Per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge%27s_law_of_headline... the answer is “No”.

But a more substantive answer is that there is only some truth to this, and I think it’s not really about tech. For example, consider this paragraph from the article:

> Varoufakis just published his seventeenth book, called “Technofeudalism.” Capitalism, he argues, has been replaced by a new economic system that’s more dangerous than anything Marx could have conjured. The big tech companies—Meta, Amazon, Apple, Alphabet—control our attention and mediate our transactions, he says, turning humans into digital serfs incessantly posting, scrolling, and buying on their platforms. Rather than chasing profits that derive from labor, the tech overlords, whom he calls “cloudalists,” extract “rents.”

I agree that the biggest companies have too much power over us, the economy, and politics. But this is true of all big companies that get to a certain size. This is really about rebuilding our antitrust laws and enforcement for a new world. It’s about lobbying. It’s about requiring standards and protocols. And a lot of other things. But the ‘feudalism’ part feels like it’s an emotional label, and the ‘techno’ part feels too narrow when we could highlight similar problems in other industries too.
Exactly. You never know. Some interviewers will penalize you for not having something memorized and having to look it up, some will penalize you for guessing, some will penalize you for simply not knowing and asking for help. Some interviewers will penalize you for coming up with something quick and dirty and then refining it, some will penalize you for jumping right to the final product. There's no consistency.
As a layperson I find this statement quite hard to believe.

I understood your comment to be about well-definedness of wraparound and my point is that I do not want it to be well-defined for signed integers because it would take a tool away from me for catching bugs. This is true independent of the size of the type. For similar reasons I use int and not ssize_t because I want an error in my lifetime if there is a bug that causes my loop not to terminate. (And yes, sometimes int would be too small.)
Otherwise, there are many examples where signed integers lead to better code, here is one: https://godbolt.org/z/szGd1864a

Flags for languages dont even work with one of the largest countries, India. They have about 20 official languages that var greatly.

Then of course the multitude of languages spoken in many european languages such as Spain (catalan, gallician, basque). Or the latin american variation.

Or what about Switzerland who dont have their own language (they speak french, german, italian and romanch).

Even your example of Sweden is naive, as we have Swedish, Finnish, Sapmi, Meänkieli and I would argue Älvdalska is another proper language too, even if it dont have official status.

Its a very flawed idea and no matter how pretty it may look, it cant map to reality and is just misleading at best.

Ask HN: Project-Based Deep Learning Resources
Hey all,

I found Replit's 100 Days of Code for Python, Andrej Karpathy's Zero to Hero, and Umar Jamil's coding transformers from scratch to be engaging resources because they were hands-on projects.

I am looking for a resource that can provide a practical basis to the theoretical Deep Learning by Goodfellow et al. I stress that the resource should be project-based, as I learn best by creating.

Do you have any recommendations?

Thank you!
Have there been any governments in the developed world in the past 25 years that has actually stood up for the poor?

I dont care about Biden and think that it is a disgrace that he pardoned his family. But I did follow the Ukraine story when it broke in 2016 (I think) and it soon became clear that there was nothing to it.

>Clearly, one of the three optimizations is incorrect in the sense that it introduced a change in program behavior.

What about declaring that all three optimizations are correct, and this program invokes UB? More precisely, it compares object one-past-the-end pointer with pointer pointing into entirely another object. one-past-the-end pointer is special because numerically it points outside the object. I think declaring that one-past-the-end pointer could be compared only with itself, valid pointer into the same object or NULL wouldn't be too unreasonable (comparing one-past-the-end pointer with pointer to another object would invoke UB).
Why? Talking to a human scammer or an AI scammer -- the ring modulation doesn't change anything.

While the intention behind “woke” research may have been to promote inclusivity and address historical injustices, its execution sometimes led to unintended consequences.

By prioritizing ideological alignment over rigorous methodology, some studies may have compromised objectivity, breadth, or practical applicability. The goal of creating space for marginalized voices was important, but in some cases, this approach limited open discourse, dismissed alternative perspectives, or failed to produce the most balanced conclusions.

That said, the push for inclusivity did bring valuable insights and necessary corrections to many fields. However, for research to serve everyone effectively, it must remain grounded in evidence, open debate, and methodological rigor—ensuring that progress is both fair and sustainable.

I think it is great to have more options in this space, as all of these options are still quite immature. In terms of approaches to take, I find one of the challenges in using lima is that, they way lima works makes the VM different enough from production that I can't be confident testing covers everything.

In terms of feature set, I think some of these have been mentioned below, but these would be great:

- snapshotting
- usb / bluetooth passthrough (this is probably dependent on Apple's framework)

I think you may have very very nasty suprise in western country. Dogs there NEVER wear muzzle. Plus touching a dog, who has not bitten you yet, is a crime there.

》If the dog bites, it will probably only bite very briefly and then let go again. Holding and shaking people like prey is unlikely if it hasn't been conditioned. I don't know what you can do in this case

Pitbulls have reflex to bite, and hold no matter of what. They were bread to kill bulls this way! Pit will not let go, even when stabbed with a knife!

Owners should carry "break stick", it gets stuffed into mouth to force it open (break the grip). 60% of deaths from dogs in west are because of this reflex! We have no rabies, we have pits!
I'm pretty sure I've been in an interview with an 'interview assistant' and that it was another person.

This was 2-3 years ago in a remote interview. The candidate would hear the question, BS us a bit and then sometimes provide a good answer.

But then if we asked follow up questions they would blow those.

They also had odd 'AV issues' which were suspicious.
Sigh. This article and the linked ones make the same mistake almost any discussion or article about the tariffs make, which is focusing on just economic effects. Tariffs are about a lot of other things too. They’re about resetting foreign relations and renegotiation of what a fair balance is. It’s about creating negative impact to other leaders or parties that will lead to political changes there. In the case of China, it is about tipping their fragile economy to a more difficult situation, to contain them economically, reduce their ability to invest I n defense, and discourage their aggressive expansionism. Geopolitics is more complicated than talking about inflation effects.
I gave it a go, not to the video in the OP, but another one that caught my eye - the one about gatcha and korean gender wars. I got through the end and found out that it was actually a part 1, the second part being almost 2 hours. I'm low-key upset about this situation.

On the one hand, this isn’t a great example for you because you already knew how to do that. There’s probably no good way to automate trivial changes that you can make off the top of your head, and have it be faster than just doing it yourself.

I’ve found LLMs most useful for doing things with unfamiliar tooling, where you know what you want to achieve but not exactly how to do it.

On the other hand, it’s an okay test case because you can easily verify the results.

> So your contention is that the government regularly requires companies to undertake otherwise illegal activities, and that it would be illegal for the company to voluntarily follow a similar set of policies?

Not regularly, only when companies are successfully sued for discriminating.

> Can you point to a statutory basis for this claim?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Rights_Act_of_1964#Title...

United Steelworkers vs. Weber established that use of protected class as a factor in employment is allowed only in narrow circumstances. In that instance, a company only hired steelworkers from a whites-only union, and were compelled by the government to give preferences to nonwhite employees for some period of time afterward.

In normal circumstances, a company cannot give racial preferences.

> My contention is that it does not require illegal activities to meet reasonably set hiring goals.

You still haven't answered the question:

"Your performance review score is reduced if you don't meet a quota of X% women"

"Your performance review score is reduced if you don't meet a goal of X% women"

Why does one require illegal activities to meet, but not the latter? This remains unanswered.

> In your Catholic example, is saying "we have a goal to stop flipping the coin" illegal?

It's not.

> It is otherwise identical to a goal of increasing representation of a certain group by a certain percentage by changing some aspects of the hiring process that unfairly impacts a particular class.

Because it's using protected class as a factor in hiring.

Say an orchestra adopts anonymous auditions, and the representation of women rises from 33% to 50%. That's a non-discriminatory hiring policy.

Another orchestra issues a "goal" or "representation target" or "diversity milestone" or some other euphemism that allocates 50% of the orchestra seats to women. That's a discriminatory hiring policy.

This is fourth time I've explained this, it seems like you're being willfully ignorant here.

> Why is that policy acceptable, but real world policies are, seemingly in every case, supposedly illegal?

They're not illegal in every case. Anonymizing interviews is legal, for example. The problem is that the legal ways of reducing discrimination don't lead to equitable results. Thus pushes towards equity require illegal discrimination, like setting thresholds and penalizing employees when those thresholds aren't met.

> Why haven't you sued them, if this was documented to the degree you describe, it was on its face illegal.

Because I'm not a victim of its policies. I'm Cuban so I'm one of the "diverse" candidates that fulfills the DSA. I have no basis to sue.
