Anyone who wants to make a bomb can easily find the anarchists cookbook, a widely discussed book you can even buy on Amazon that includes detailed guides and instructions for exactly this and more. If anything asking chatgpt for detailed instructions and further questions will probably just make it hallucinate and blow you up, I'd imagine. It's just hard to take seriously.
The two clocks I reference the most - my wrist watch, and my mobile phone - don't really benefit from the alleged advantage of having mains power cycling every 0.0167 seconds.

Perhaps you could expound further on this hypothesis?

I'd always assumed people who spent 3+ years studying electrical engineering had solved this problem. Certainly in Australia (~240V / 50Hz) we don't seem to have a problem with all our clocks being 20% wrong all the time.

How does computer use APIs affect this? Isn't the whole idea that a UI that a human can use should also be usable by an agent without a lot of special accommodation made? For high volume automation and API is a lot more efficient, but for lots of typical automation (automating what would take a human 20-30 minutes of work to do themselves) this doesn't matter too much.
Afaik Linus tried Github in the past, but had several significant complaints about it hiding information, messing with basic git operations, generating bad commit messages, etc. . So it is not as if they wouldn't use something better, there just isn't anything that has feature parity with a workflow they have been optimizing for decades.
Maybe it's because of Linus' age or because the players involved are bigger than many past issues, but the way I see it, both decisions are really costly:

- Endorse Rust with little reserve and over half of the C++ devs will feel betrayed and quit supporting the Linux project. They've been working on C++ for Decades and things mostly worked, so they won't pivot for a new language and way of developing for something that exists for less than 30 years.

- Ban rust contributions and the entire Linux foundation goes directly against some big players, like DARPA and other departments of the American government[1], which itself is a trend setter. Some big sponsors might also pull out and that ALSO removes devs from the project.

So, which decision would be so overwhelmingly more advantageous that's worth taking all the negatives of the other on the chin rather than trying to minimize harm and wait to see if either Rust software proves to be not so magically immune to memory leaks and vulnerabilities or if some tool makes the transition less contentious?

There is something delightfully oldschool about the design and layout and basic functionality of this Sora News website. It looks like webpages I saw about Japan in 2005. Nothing has needed to change since then, so they haven't changed it, and it works just fine.

The "AKIBA PC HOTLINE!" hasn't changed at all in 20 years either. Worth reading with auto-translate for news about weird PC stuff and electronic items for sale in Akihabara.

> There's no problem here to solve. Who cares when they pass each other? Why do we care?

Not trying to “but acktually” you, however, this is more or less how I calculate the optimal time to take a pit stop in a lap-based auto race. I have a little spreadsheet widget that I made to be able to plug the numbers in, but the problem is simply stated:

If old tires decrease my speed, and making a pit stop takes time, when should I stop.

Agreed that elementary school word problems are dumb, though.
Ride shares aren’t a thing in Japan and most people can’t afford blowing hundreds of dollars on a super long taxi ride - for reference from where I live to there, the dominant taxi app here estimates 40,000 yen in the day time, which is more expensive at night due to increased late night rates. Plus Otsuki is in the middle of nowhere - I presume there are taxi drivers looking to capitalize on this, but there may not be many of them so far from a major area.

These train lines are very long, so you might be quite far away from where you were actually intending to go.
Do something crazy and teach kids to write their own QP solver. That will force them to learn quadratic functions, vector norms, solving linear equations using LU decomposition, dot products, vector matrix and matrix vector multiplication, convexity, Lagrangian multipliers, etc.

The quadratic programming solver can be used to calculate ordinary least squares for linear regression and controlling robot arms in real time or linear model predictive control.

This is much less likely in a company. Any sane company decides on a clear direction which way to go. Either do X and put resources in it, or not and instead focus on something else. They may change directions, but never "maybe X" at a specific point in time. Someone at the company makes a decision on this.

Of course, with notable exceptions. See Apple Car, Android tablets etc.
I beleive he clarified in the same sentence that he was not calling the language Rust cancer... to quote "where this cancer explicitly is a cross-language codebase and not Rust itself, just to escape the flameware brigade"

As we saw during the first Trump administration, the line between malice and incompetence is so blurry that the only way to manage your time is to say "probably both." A selection of reasons for consideration:

1. Abuse of power for a personal vendetta against the states that care about building it and against the legislators who voted for it.

2. Part of a broader set of EOs to demonstrate presidential "power" or activity against things his supports don't like, even if it's unsustainable or destructive. Watch for "we went in and we stopped X bajillion very terribly wasteful tax dollars", where the truth is either "it only paused things" or "by ripping up the Constitution."

3. Abuse of power to create leverage (i.e. extortion) against a certain associate of his that owns a company which could benefit a lot from charging stations.

4. Procedural version of #2: Trying to fudge the numbers on federal spending (even just temporarily) to make it fiscally "okay" for Republicans to pass another tax cut on the rich.

5. Someone recently convinced him it was pork-barrel spending, and he's "honestly" trying to stop it except in the most wannabe-dictator way.
Relational is often at odds with OO due to its ability to handle circular dependencies. This also makes it superior when modeling the more complex domains.

The best solution is to execute the SQL as close to the dependent call site as possible. For example, instead of defining a common User model that will satisfy 100% of the codebase by pulling a wide row every time, define a query per application view or other logical area of the product.

After you get used to the idea of doing things this way, it completely unshackles your ability to build things. You no longer have to trip over the hard boundaries of centralized domain types. This is a mental prison. You can go way faster without these tools. Joining tables together will become 2nd nature. You'll begin to push problems into the RDBMS instead of belaboring them in code. That 400 line method (despite heavy use of LINQ) probably could have been 20 lines of recursive CTEs.

Also think of much faster the data operations are when they are carried out in the same place the data lives. Much of the code slop out there is just a really elaborate way to implement an ETL script.

A bigger lesson might be "don't get caught until you're big enough to destroy the people suing you."

Napster got shut down for widespread enabling of copyright infringement. So did numerous other filesharing startups, including Travis Kalanick's first startup, Scour. Lots of small startups get put out of business all the time for being sued and not having the money to defend themselves.

Likewise, individuals like Donald Trump or Elon Musk get away with all sorts of illegal shit, because they are big enough to shut down the court systems prosecuting them.

Google's genius was in staying under the radar and aligning their incentives with everyone that might dislike them, until they were big enough that they could simply crush anyone that might dislike them.

> Okay, sorry. He just said there should be no rust in the kernel.

That's also not what he said; it's "no Rust in kernel/dma". He pretty much explicitly said it's okay for drivers to do their thing in Rust, but with their own wrappers. You can consider that dumb, but you can't shorten that to "no Rust in the kernel".

And "I replied to your objections, therefore the matter is settled" is arrogant beyond belief. People can disagree, you know, because they have different priorities, different preferences, different perspectives, etc.
I like the hypothesis by fomine3 on HN that "Japan's divided frequency situation made Japanese electric manufacturers to invent inverter for electrics (example: air conditioners, microwave, refrigerators).

My understanding is they do a _lot_ of maintenance at night.

I have to imagine it might not be worth it though. The whole "city that never sleeps" vibe is relatively localized to a couple neighborhoods and having all lines run through the night would be a bit of an extravagance (all that for, what, the 5 hours they're not running?). Train drivers aren't cheap! And we invented technology for getting small groups of people home already, it's called taxis.

Post COVID I think there's been a huge push to just chill out even with the 24 hour stuff. Lots of places close earlier than they used to, and some places that used to be 24 hours just go until midnight now.

There was a bus that would go between a couple of the nightclub spots throughout the night, never took it though. Maybe there would be a decent business in running "commuter"-y buses throughout the night between certain areas, at least to try and get closer home.

Rust is only allowed for drivers, because that sidesteps the platform support questions.

DMA is needed for an overwhelming number of useful drivers.

If you can’t use DMA from Rust, then you can’t really properly evaluate the usefulness of Rust, hence the effort is basically dead.

> We have lots of tools to write better mathematics: LaTeX, markdown, Jupyter Notebooks, and so on. But it feels like nothing has really converged yet. Technology that seamlessly mixes symbolic equations, illustrative-and-explicative annotation, and runnable code is, I am sure, not far off. [2020; emphasis added]

Back in the 1990's, we had lots of tools to write better mathematics: LaTeX, HTML, Mathematica notebooks, and so on. But it felt like nothing had really converged yet. Technology that seamlessly mixes symbolic equations, illustrative-and-explicative annotation, and runnable code is, I then expected, not to be anticipated before my distant retirement and death. Given the preceding decades of cripplingly underfunded and glacial programming language evolution - that seemed a similar kind of society-hobbling infrastructure challenge that we just don't handle well. Now here we are, 3 decades later, and languages are in a far better place... though with pace still throttled by poor funding. Perhaps someday math tech will be too. Large-scale hypertext, and GUIs, also managed the "and now, what you've lonnnng been waiting for, tada!" transition.

No. It's a legitimate possibility. Maybe it wont happen. But maybe it will. There's a reason that military training is meant to be hard though, and not filled with comfort and affordances for personal feelings.

> To stretch things a bit, it's like saying, while male dominated the field of engineering in the 60s (and still do), it was exactly that kind of environment that made it possible for humans to get to the moon. Can you actually prove it? Really?

No human has been back to the moon since that male dominated field sent them there. And when they added women, they couldn't produce a shuttle that could work without huge budget overruns, or reliably. And the only example of a real surge in a return to space, is run by an asshole dictator at Space X.

I've heard the theory floated that this is at least in part due to furious lobbying against it by taxi companies, who currently have a de facto monopoly on transport at night.

More likely it's just for train maintenance, and indeed, 24-hour train operation is vanishingly rare, with NYC and Chicago the only well-known major cities with it. Tokyo does stand out by not even having night buses though. (It used to have a skeletal network, but even that was killed off by COVID.)
> he is still beholden to all those downstream developers that rely on the Rust DMA wrapper's functionality, because if he breaks their code, he knows it'll cause a shitstorm.

It is the explicit policy of the project, and was repeated in the thread, that the Rust folks are solely responsible for fixing any breakage. There will be no shitstorm.

Note that there is 240V in every US home. Low power loads run from a center tap 120V circuit. Also I wonder if people manage to electrocute themselves on "high voltage" circuits (typically 7.5KV) which due to the 120V thing have to be run everywhere so are more available to the casual electrocutee. In the UK although there are high voltage transmission lines, they terminate at substations, are often buried at that point, and there are high fences make it hard to electrocute ones self. E.g. a guy around here managed to electrocute himself very badly (but still survived) out in the woods by touching a bear that had itself become electrocuted by a live unprotected 7.5KV line.
I have a London-based friend who once woke up in a bus depot with the bus parked and nobody else around. Presumably the driver is supposed to check for anyone left on the bus before parking it and leaving it, but they didn't on this occasion.

Yes, encryption is one of the most “cat’s out of the bag” situations - even assuming every company worldwide is cowed into submission by governments to add back doors, all they’re going to be catching is the dumb and unsophisticated criminals and even that will diminish as even the dummies realize every text and call is wiretapped once people start seeing their private communiques come out in court.

I suppose there are people in the camp advocating for back doors who still think it’s worth the tremendous downsides to be able to catch that group of criminals (there are certainly plenty of idiot criminals), but anybody can just use plain GPG emails for free, or deploy some open source encrypted chat server on a $20 a month cloud instance… and I assume operators in places like Russia or China won’t mind hosting easy services for less nerdy criminals willing to pay in crypto.
