T' = gT, the amount of life T grows exponentially by absorbing life from its neighbors with a force proportional to its greed g and its already accumulated weight T.
VSCode remote editing trojan is the only remote editing mechanism that actually works.

Tramp might be good in imagination, but in reality it's just a poor plugin that sometimes works, and even if it works, it's only good for some use cases.

I still don't get the reinforcement part here. Wouldn't that be normal training against the data set? Like how would you modify the normal MNIST training to be reinforcement learning
It's similar to using Starlink in a cruise ship. The cruise companies hate it and prohibit it for good. They want you to buy their expensive wifi plans. Some people still sneak them in and run them on the balconies.
This. I mentored five interns across two companies (an faang and a pre IPO) all of them are on the great path and in great companies now. They didn’t know much but they had an appetite that you don’t see often in the people with 10+ years of experience.
c'mon.. please know about the issue at all to some level before commenting.

The rust for linux project exists because Linus approved it. It's that simple. Linus thinks it a good idea to at least try Rust in the kernel. If he didn't, then none of this would be happening.
Problem is, I paid a refundable deposit on the bottles, as an incentive for returning them.

> The relationship between the FAA and CTI schools remains damaged, applicant numbers have declined significantly since 2014.

Separate from the above posts, the FAA continued their discriminatory policies. For example, setting several DEIA initiatives and only one target for hiring more Air Traffic controllers. https://www.faa.gov/sites/faa.gov/files/about/office_org/hea...
It's useful and very common to use. For example, you could concatenate together command-line argument flags that may or may not be present.
“Purchase compliance” with what? Arbitrary policies set by… university admin?

Full disclosure I’ve dealt with this all first hand. The vast majority of universities contribute next to nothing to research programs except the space, utilities, and IT. And those costs do not need to be a % of incoming grant money.

And the vast majority do just take that cut and use it as slush fund general revenue.
Firstly, this list is completely one-sided. If you actually think you're right, why not write something real? Do you honestly think this is a good representation of reality? It's like writing down a list of Allied attacks in WW2.

Secondly, what do you think this proves in terms of whether there is a war? Again, I can make a similar list of battles in WW2. Does that mean WW2 is still happening? Obviously not.

A bunch of what you wrote is before Israel was even founded. At least one is a (horrendous) terrorist attack carried out by an Israeli, but not by Israel. A bunch of them are from the war that followed Israeli independence, when multiple Arab nations attacked Israel. The biggest country that attacked Israel in that war iirc - Egypt - has had a peace agreement with Israel for 40 years!

You could say there is a war with Hamas, though officially there was a ceasefire following the previous fighting, which you call - for some reason - the "Gaza Massacre 2021").
No, he said very explicitly that he is against any Rust code in Linux whatsoever. He doesn't have any beef with Rust, the same would be true for him if people tried to add C++ or Pascal or Ada or any other kind of drivers or infra in Linux: he believes that the project will be much harder to maintain if it's not 100% pure C (and assembly).

Here is a link to this explicit claim: https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/20250131075751.GA1672...

Why do you want Optional to implement Serializable?
Strongly disagree. People jump to that when they see a healthy society that's relatively homogeneous, and ignore counterexamples like relatively homogeneous countries, or states within countries, that have poor education/healthcare/etc. It's a post-facto explanation with no predictive power, and people jump to it only because it's superficially obvious.
I’ve been looking for something like this. On my phone it’s rather unclear how to interpret the heat map though. There’s some kind of broken tooltip. What do the colors represent? It looks like it would be the distance to the closest point rather than to all the points?

How do you compute the heat map? Thousands of API requests from various points?
I would make the abstract class "Maybe" a sealed class with None and Some being the only permitted implementation

I think he even hates non-C code in the drivers, he just cares less about that. But his position is that kernel maintenance will only work longterm if it's all a single language (C).

Then a subclass flag boring|tendentious|inappropriate would work. Not knowing if this is just boredom with topic means total conjecture.

Funding sources themselves, especially with capital expenditures for purchases $10K or higher. They want to make sure PIs are spending money on actual program equipment that's being used, and not just turning around and selling it on Ebay to line their pockets.

I've dealt with this first hand because I'm a PI myself. I hate having to waste my valuable time dealing with the inventory person every couple months, but we do it because our funding sources require that kind of accountability.
I installed my first linux in 1996. It came in a CD with a computer magazine: a free OS. That was huge, for me at least. Said CDs were filled with shareware software like winzip, that you had to buy or crack to use at 100%. Meanwhile there was this thing called Linux, for free, that included a web server, ftp, firewall, a free C compiler, that thing called latex that produced beautiful documents... The only thing it required from you was to sacrifice a bit of confort in the UI, and a bit of extra effort to get better results.

I didn't heard about Minix until mid 2000's maybe, and it was like an old legend of an allegedly better-than-linux OS that failed because people are dumb.

So let the UK eat the cost of making the ISP whole. Nobody needs or especially wants the islands except for national dick-waving; the British gov was making a point that they would and could still fight and win wars. Fine, you want to play at the big dollar table, ante up.
Just about all radio communication is illegal until licensed. Starlink had to get approval from the FCC in the US even before the first satellites went up, to provide fixed broadband service, and before allowing it to be used on mobile vehicles.

Starlink gets licensed in different countries to use specific frequencies to avoid congestion/interference with other services
That's an argument for a small government. Private entities are both much faster than current governments, and more careful with their money. And when they fail, you basically get free infrastructure (as part of the bankruptcy process) instead of a black hole in which public money keeps getting sunk.

Reading the rest of the comments in this thread it seems like the original decision was at the very least sane: you need major investment in telecom infrastructure, and to facilitate this the government offered a monopoly to incentivize said investment. Makes sense, at face value. Problem is that technology advanced, and now a centralized solution is worse than the state of the art (Starlink). So instead of the infrastructure provider living or dying on merit, you have regulations sustaining it artificially, and no incentive to have them upgrade or become more efficient.
I don't see this future coming, companies are made and will be made by people, if such level of productivity will be reached it will only increase the demand for more people doing it. Going from assembly to higher level languages didn't shrink the workforce, actually required more developers. Productivity improvements(given i don't believe it will be that much of an improvement) don't necesseraly map to few people doing it

Prius buyers are pretty distinct from EV buyers. Hybrid buyers are looking for efficiency and don’t mind a clunky drive experience to pay for that efficiency. EV buyers are mostly looking for a great driving experience that you definitely wouldn’t get with a Prius, maybe a small sports car but they still want a family sedan or SUV.
Who attacked WordPress, exactly? Nobody. That's right. Nobody attacked Open Source. The only one who is doing wrong to the community and attacking OSS and Wordpress is Matt. He is mad that other people are using OSS and profiting from it more than he does. That's the real reason why Matt is so angry.

I'm sick of arguments, "Company X profits from OSS project Y and not making contribution to it". They ARE NOT required to contribute back. There's no such conditioning in OSS licenses. Deal with it when you are open-sourcing something. Make peace with the fact that somebody will probably make more money from that piece of code than you do. If you're not OK with that, don't open source it.

No OSS license has an issue with people making money from it. Only small greedy men who took 100s of millions from VCs have an issue with it.

Okay. I have been using VSCode remote session since its inception and it works well for my case.

Maybe, I think it's more likely that a Zig soft fork would first replace the kernel build system and then, with unit tests, piece by piece port the whole beautiful thing. Zig is on a strong path to compile and interact with C better than existing C compilers.
Walk off the main thoroughfares of Tokyo and you end up with plenty of grunge and grime, too. I got invited to step outside for a cigarette at a craft beer joint down an alley in Shibuya and our 3rd companion was a rat as large as any I'd ever seen in NYC. Plenty of trash in the alleys, kitchens dumping buckets of waste water and not caring if plenty splash over the street or sidewalk instead of going down the drain, etc.

It's impressive how well kept the main areas are, but any metro area of 40m people is gonna generate plenty of trash.
It's more complicated than that: One side's claim is that it's controversial.

How do we handle that? Perhaps we require them to present a strong argument for why it's controversial.

That’s interesting. In Canada the issue is that funding sources don’t care if you’re somewhat irresponsible with capital expenditures (though not to the point of personal enrichment), but are loathe to give you any money for personnel.

Most of those Teslas are made in Shanghai though, so China is still winning market share with Tesla in Australia.
People often forget the best way to win a tech debate is to actually do it. Once multiple developers criticized that my small program is slow due to misuse of language features. Then I said: fine, give me a faster implementation. No one replied.
I like Zig a lot over Rust but I guess people should give it a while (10y) before attempting something like that. Zig isn’t even 1.0 yet and it’s not going to be for at least 2 more years.
People just think "that's Linux, it's buggy and we have to live with it"

True, looking at real proofs is what changed the game for me.

Before I actually went through 3-4 books on basics of proofs, math felt... almost meaningless , a game of remembering the right thing at the right time.

Leo Boytsov, my guest on the Vector Podcast, made an honest and an eye-opening claim about vector search being intellectually rewarding, but professionally undervalued. What picked my attention was how he gives credit to people who actually deserve it, and how he speaks modestly about his own achievements. When professionally as a researcher, he accumulated over 1800 citations by now and helped to create the famous HNSW vector search algorithm.

I'd just like to say this is a fantastic "marketing" blog post. Great explanation of an interesting problem, that this company theoretically helps solve. Very well done!

One note - there was a callout at the end to "stay tuned" for a follow-up post about the actual solution. I may have missed it, but I don't see any way to actually sign up to the blog or newsletter or anything. That's a shame - I'd love to follow this topic and product (and potentially have a few real-world use cases for it).

How is this not the top comment? I was scratching my head wondering until I found your links.

So the smackdown from Linus is what motivated it. Honestly though if you read the email Linus is replying to, it was deserved. To be fair, Hector Martin may be one of the smartest hackers alive today. His fame goes way back to hacking the Playstation 3 with geohot and Hector has even found security vulnerabilities in Apple Silicon. He's done great work with Asahi Linux by weaponizing his keen penetrating mind to support open source freedom. But like his buddy geohot he can be a bit childish. Right now Hector seems to be laying low. His social media accounts are no longer accessible. It seems even archive.org and archive.today have no recollection of him. That's impressive.

So what triggered him to act out of character? It seems like he wrote his Apple GPU driver in Rust and he needed Rust DMA support in the kernel. I know, a curious thing for a Rust developer to want more power to do things that are memory unsafe. So the DMA maintainer Christoph Hellwig hates Rust. He thinks Rust is a cancer in the kernel. Cristoph refused to help Martin create Rust APIs for DMA. That's why he went ballistic.

Chances are they'll all make up when this blows over, or someone will just rewrite his GPU driver in C. There's not going to be as big of a push for Rust with this recent government. For example, the White House recently took down its paper about the future of programming being memory safe. The money for Rust is going to dry up. It's becoming socially acceptable to push back against efforts to convert everyone to Rust.
Lawson's also big in China now.

The "Chef's hat" reminds me of when you're writing code for a publicly distributed library, with inline documentation. Making it look nice does matter.
If you think there's not plenty of trash strewn about, you need to spend more time out at night or down back alleys. Once the booze starts flowing or the kitchens get too busy, plenty of waste starts appearing. You're less likely to see a bunch somewhere like Meguro than you are Shibuya, but you don't exactly need to go hunting to find overfilled trashcans where people have given up and just leave stuff beside them, trash bags left out overnight besides the back door to the restaurant kitchen, etc.

(And for anyone not aware, Tokyo is a place where the entrances to plenty of places are down these back alleys - it's not just the service entrance/back doors down there. )
Seems most people in this thread are on roughly the same page, but here's an anecdote to give you an idea of why people are specifically comparing to the west:

Just today I was walking home from Nakameguro station in Tokyo and saw an orphaned protein bar wrapper on the street. I was shocked, it was the first time I'd noticed obvious trash (most likely not intentionally littered) on this street in years.

While living in Manhattan last year, I grew accustomed to holding my nose when walking past actual piles of garbage strewn about the street. This is not figurative as most people have used this phrase throughout this thread—You simply leave your rotting garbage on the street for trucks to pick up (obviously stray trash would get picked up by the wind and tossed into the air, descending upon Manhattan en masse). Only starting last November did they start using actual trash bins.

There was even a day when I saw multiple public garbage cans lit on fire and kicked into the street (in Chelsea, a fairly nice Manhattan neighborhood). Could you possibly imagine that happening anywhere in Tokyo? It would be news coverage for a week.

For all the nuance and exceptions one has to go out of their way to find when talking about trash in places like Tokyo and Singapore, it's unbelievably ages ahead of New York City, the richest city in the world.

As a native English speaker I didn’t find it ambiguous. I don’t know why though. I think your confusion is because “ordered” could mean they were ordered to do something, but it could also be the past tense of them ordering someone else. However, “ordered to” would not work in the past tense so this headline must be referring to them being ordered.

Yeah, this will hit research hospitals, organizations like RTI, etc.

And yeah, the rates private foundations pay is enabled by the NIH rates, and also that the NIH makes up the bulk of the funding in the first place. There's an argument - that I'm sympathetic to - that they shouldn't get a discount and the rate is the rate, but that's a very different reform than what we're seeing now.
You don't seem to have any experience with the subject. The "overhead" in question is, for example, the person who keeps clean glassware in inventory for chemistry, or the veterinarian for animal subjects, or the ethics board.
And the foundations made up that rate - our institution loses money on every Gates grant, etc.
I got a job through a Who’s Hiring post that helped me move to Copenhagen, DK. I’ve gotten a few interviews through Who Wants To Be Hired, mostly interesting companies who then ask me to apply as if I was a regular candidate.

In one case, I got a very nice email from the CEO, I applied, but I was never told what kind of position I was interviewing for, so it was really tough to tailor my answers and focus.
