I hope that's the case. It almost read like someone trying to still believe in God right after their mom died.
I totally get why so many peple are jumping to BlueSky, and I may yet, one day, join them. But I'm still almost exclusively on Mathstodon.xyz, only visiting a few places to stay in touch with a few people who are refusing to move (sometimes for perfectly valid reasons).

Having said that, I invite you to read this essay:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/11/02/ulysses-pact/#tie-yoursel...

I found that it expressed eloquently reservations of my own that I had been unable to put into words.

For people who build connections and create content, I advise most strongly that they prepare from day one for having to move. Create your content elsewhere and then copy it to BS, keep a separate record of people you want to stay in touch with. Do not rely on a platform like BS for keeping anything.

The article exactly captures why I am using Mastodon-the-Platform and not BS. If I do put things on BS, I will be prepared to lose them, and connections.

But each person has their own reasons for using any of these platforms. I'm getting great technical content, mathematical content, connections, and conversations on Mathstodon.

PS: For the avoidance of doubt: mathstodon.xyz (carefully note the spelling) is one instance of Mastodon-the-Platform.

PPS: Again, I totally get why people are choosing other platforms, and this is not a criticism. It purely an explanation of my reasoning.
It gets better. Once you opt-out and get the "classic" plan, you are stuck with the AI features until the next billing cycle. They pulled this stunt at month 2 of my sub so I've got these AI "credits" I don't want and can't get rid of until November.
> there aren't much profits to go around

I think we have different definitions of "much".

It's #9 in the world for revenue: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_companies_by_r...

#1 on the list is Walmart, which has a similarly low on-paper 2-3% profit margin, but I don't think anyone is deluded into thinking the company, the Waltons, or its investors are barely scraping by.

#2 is Amazon. Again, low profit margin. Again, plenty of profit.
I agree, but somehow when a lot of people fall on the “summary execution is warranted and encouraged” side of this debate, the specifics of any single given case end up far below the noise floor.
It's not taboo, it's just ridiculous given the state of the art.

That doesn't mean that a silicon based reasoning entity is an ontological impossibility. But if it is to become a reality, it's not necessarily through LLM that such an entity will be spawn.
It's not that it's volunteer driven (which it is not, as the siblings have pointed out), it's that it's distributed governance without the central authority enforcing a vision.
I see lots of SUVs in Europe, which are light-truck sized (and are more often than not built on top of light truck chassis). That plus the preponderance of trucks in US cities suggests to me that it's mostly a cultural and regulatory issue, not a matter of driving environment.
Overton window.

It originated as a political term, but can apply to social norms too.
This was great, thanks for posting!
Digesting your thoughts before vomiting out a reaction is allowed.
It doesn't, because C code is clearly "the preferred form for modification" by C kernel devs that, by their own admission, are quite unwilling to deal with the perceived complexity of a multi-language code base. (Or even to learn any other programming language, for that matter.)
I think you're reading way to much into how people think.
Every other engineering organization on the planet seems to do just fine with a polyglot codebase. Do you really think kernel maintainers are dumber than the average Google engineer?
why stop at FSD users? this should apply to all drivers in general. if they cause an accident they need to go to jail.
The issues we saw were more about quality. I know churn is bad for that, but I think the problem was more related to lack of oversight and vetting. This might improve that, but I'd probably bet against it.
Not all of them. The 3060 Ti was great because it was actually built on the same underlying chip as the 3070 and 3070 Ti. Which ironically made those less valuable.

But the release of those cards was during Covid pricing weirdness times. I scored a 3070 Ti at €650, whilst the 3060 Ti's that I actually wanted were being sold for €700+. Viva la Discord bots.

Lacking memory safety is a fundamental mistake in my opinion, not merely one aspect. We have learned much from the days of C and C++, so much that companies are migrating away and finding that many of their bugs are solved with memory safe languages like Rust.

Maybe it is mostly FUD, but it does not mean it is impossible. Yes, soy-based plastics are very processed, but it does not mean that the end product has no impurities that "smell" like soy. Rodents have very sensitive smell and some can even detect landmines. Also, plastics made solely from biomaterial or with bio-based components (e.g. plasticizers) are not (always) chemically exactly similar to petroleum-based plastics.

I found one research article from 2020 titled "Assessing Rodent Gnawing of Elastomers Containing Soybean Oil Derivatives". It did not find statistically significant difference in rodents gnawing when soy oil derivates were added to plastics. Maybe they have found a way to remove the tasty components.

It still does, no? Linux isn't written in standard C, it's just that clang caught up with gcc in extensions.
I'm not talking about use of traffic data. In the abstract, assuming you are the only person in the world who owns a car, that route would be a very bad recommendation. Safety concerns would be lower, but still, there's no reason you'd ever do that.
Given the discrepancy in measures—24% vs. 7%—I'm guessing that the "poverty wage" factor is the crucial difference?

The official US poverty definition is about $13k for a 1 person household and $26k for a 4 person household. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2020-01-17/pdf/2020-0...
Not sure why this got so acrid but I don’t really have any reason to interact with someone saying I have “no merit”
You might want to look at how bent-out-of-shape you are getting about a rando on the internet disagreeing with you.

Why I would lie about plugging in your problem into an LLM or solve it is beyond me; you know I don’t lose anything by admitting you’re right? In fact I would stand to gain from learning something new. I think you should examine how you approach an argument because every time you’ve replied it’s made it look like you’re just more desperate for someone to agree and are trying to bully people into agreeing by making ad hominem attacks. Despite it all I think you have merit as a person — even if you can’t make a cogent argument and just chase your tail on this topic.

I’m going to stop engaging with you for now on, but just as a piece of perspective for you: both o3 and Gemini pointed out how your problem is a derivation when asked — perhaps you might be overestimating its novelty. Gemini even cited derivations out the gate.
We had a rat in our engine. I cleared it's nest out 3 times and tried putting peppermint oil everywhere. Nothing worked it kept coming back. Then one day it snowed and we saw blood everywhere. It appears the crows killed our rat. Problem solved!
The question of who has the authority over the policies regarding the integration of Rust code into the kernel seems like a different question than who is maintaining Rust code.

You have very little choice in healthcare in the US. While you have the “option” of trying to get healthcare on your own, if you have an income it’s usually prohibitively expensive as most companies are able to both a: negotiate a better rate as a bulk deal for bringing all of their employees to the plan at once, and b: subsidize the plan for employees.

What this means is that the most choice Americans face is whether to take the high or low deductible option their plan offers and whether they take the single or family plan.

For me, evidence would work. That's why California's regulations to report miles driven and # of accidents and disengagements is so nice. It's a standard to compare, measure and regulate. And when Tesla hides away from such and instead moves to unregulated Texas markets, it makes me predisposed to think they are shying away from gathering just the evidence that would convince me it's safe. If it works for you, great. But this difference makes me happy to live in California.
No mate, read your comments again- the only one projecting anything here is you. For my part, I was quite sure how to label you and it's based on the first two rows of what you wrote, which is a mix of leftist, right-wing and libertarian views. Now as others have also noticed, you seem to have some deep-seated psychological issues, most notable in your rumbling and unconnected thoughts. I mean this without malice: seek help.
Is the goal to make a good kernel or to keep C developers happy?

I don't see rust taking over C in kernel ever.

re: broken rust builds

You should think very very hard on when it can break and how it effects C side of things.
I missed this comment!

You can do this, actually. I kinda explain that here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42976053

The heatmap supports both AND and OR clauses

The second one (acrage, stars, etc) is harder, you're right.

The "Search nearby places" is really meant to be a convenience feature to fill your OR clauses. It works better for certain types of things. Like, sure, all parks is too broad because not all parks are equal. But use it for something like all Targets (the shopping chain) or something, and its more useful, since those are, more or less, all equal.

I'm still thinking of other convenience features for places that have more nuance, like parks.
I too have FSD 13 on my CT and use it for 99% of driving with no issues. I have done a number of long city to city drives (30-100+ miles) with zero interventions. The roads would be 10,000x safer if every car was using FSD, even in extreme edge cases like the original post.
The nice thing about having grown up in and around the underground cash economy that drives the USA is that I never forget that it’s usually cheaper and easier to just call your guy than to go wait in line like a schnook.

As I already said in my first comment, I haven't used those models and any of them would have been forbidden at my work.

My point was rather that you might be observing suboptimal results only because you haven't used the models which are more fit, at least hypothetically, for your use case.

I've worked in finance for 20 years and this is the complete opposite of my experience. Excel is ubiquitous and drives all sorts of business processes in various departments. I've seen people I would consider Excel gurus, in that they are able to use Excel much more productively than normal users, but I've almost never seen anyone use VBA.
Work was done in both directions. Some of the more esoteric things go ripped out while clang added support for what was left.

False equivalence.

Assembly is unavoidable in the kernel and the the lowest level machine language and it closely related to C and is something that many C developers of kernel level capability are going to have some familiarity with.

Rust is none of those things. It is not required. It is a completely different language.
I think this is a bad take because it assumes that NVidia is making rapid price/performance improvements in the consumer space The RTX 4060 is roughly equivalent to a 2080 (similar performance and ram and transistors). Intel isn't making much margin, but from what I've seen they're probably roughly breaking even not taking a huge loss.

Also, a ton of the work for Intel is in drivers which are (as the A770 showed) very improvable after launch. Based on the hardware, it seems very possible that B580 could get an extra 10% (especially in 1080p) which would bring it clear above the 4060ti in perf.
I've seen the tweet before, and the issue I have is: one person is claiming FSD crashed their car. No video, no other evidence.

I'm not saying it wasn't FSD, but it is a possibility FSD wasn't even enabled.
> There is nothing fundamentally magical happening in the human brain

I read the blog which is linked via the above heading. I think the above statement is still unqualified given that there exists no other form of advanced cognition which reasons about the universe and the state of reality, or is able to create a mechanism for artificial cognition. When AI can do that without being rote or reliant on humans to learn and correct itself, then it will reach some form of AGI. That said, I agree with the writer that there’s nothing fundamentally different about human brain and AGI brain, provided both are self-conscious. The sentience bar for consciousness is insufficient as it cannot differentiate between p-zombies, which lack both feelings and awareness, and AGI.
My two favorite things to talk about on the internet, how awful Elon Musk is, and SQL, have come together for this tweet, so dammit HN you're not going to flag this one a week before my birthday
I think the false claims were on the Tiktok, but the crux that i detect is the issue "UHC called doctor out of OR" is likely true even if UHC didn't intend it that way.

>>The letter seems clear to me

Where is the letter?

>> doctor conceding that the wrong paperwork was submitted by her office (hence the call)

That is a strong assumption to make. The tack you are taking is that one of the 2 parties noticed a wrong PA was requested (and approved) and tried to do something about it, preop. That's the assumption. IF the PA was fine, and that's 100% shenanigans by UHC. Less likely, but still very possible.
I have work on such companies unless you count TypeScript and JavaScript as two languages.

Comment you're replying to is about some kernel developers not wanting to learn/write/use rust.

I personally think Linus is making the right choice here, and not explicitly denying Rust in the kernel. Instead he is delegating it to other high level maintainers to work out the issues and make the decisions on how the integration will go. He is already so heavily involved in day to day operations in the C code, I can't imagine him being able to take on the burden of also needing to negotiate pulling in an entirely new language.

From my understanding, the current maintainers are worried about being stuck with Rust code should the Rust maintainers leave the project, and Linus is requiring that all code builds that makes it into a release (which includes the Rust code).

I am not for or against Rust being in the kernel, but I can appreciate the view of maintainers on a project of this age being concerned about introducing a second language (one which many of the C developers are not familiar with). This isn't a single company's web application project where a polyglot environment should work well when chosen for the right reasons. The Linux kernel is a backbone of modern computing, and making a decision on what to do without exploring all potential benefits and issues would be irresponsible at best. From what I've read, the Rust proponents want a piece of Rust middleware for DMA access so that each rust component doesn't need to have their own implementation, but the C maintainers don't wish to have to maintain C interface compatibility for Rust. With Linus stating that all code in the project must compile to be accepted in a release, this puts a heavy burden on the C maintainers where they are now required to work with the Rust developers fairly closely. Some of these maintainers have been around for a long time, and are skilled in C and do not wish to learn a new language for when the shit hits the fan and something in the Rust code breaks.

Again, this is just my understanding of the situation from what I've read, I may have some of this completely wrong, and if so I apologize to anyone involved.
I think this applies here:

The statements in the article are as good as impossible to verify, no clear metrics, no formulas, no charts.

Also the pretext that 'voters' vote around 'the economy' is hard to qualify nor quantify.

What's clear to me is that a lot of voters believed someone who repeats things over and over and promises to 'fix' things with zero evidence to show for. It tells us more about effectiveness of repeating, fear mongering and blaming 'the others' than about economics.

You forgot to add "IMHO". IDEA has fantastic UI, it's fully configurable and 100% usable through pre-assigned hotkeys. For example, fuzzy search is available everywhere, in every tool window, in the database window, in search results, etc. The same key combination (ctrl+alt+arrow up/down on my instance) can be used to jump between search results, symbol usages, TODOs, linter results, and so on. They thought through and implemented countless convenient features, most of which I will not be able to remember, but do use every day purely through muscle memory.

They're also now intent on destroying them in favor of the "new" primitive UI by trying to cater to new users (who are seemingly fine with never becoming power users). The good UI is still available through a plugin, but it's obvious it will be dropped in the next few years. I'm pretty sure they will lose the old guard like me right after that.

"Full Self" Driving
> then he should have shut the discussion down long ago

It's interesting that people expect Linus to simultaneously chill out and be more inclusive while at the same time acting like a dictator over the entirety of the project.

In any case, perhaps it's worthwhile to remember where it started, and what the attitudes were at the time [1]. It was an experiment. Experiments sometimes fail or reveal themselves to not lead anywhere useful. The choices were to let that experiment happen on the actual kernel or force the rust people to fork some version of the kernel and instantly be left behind.

It clearly wasn't an easy choice and I can only imagine the uproar from the rust community if he then did what you suggest today. So, that leaves us with the question, what if he's decided it's no longer worth it? What then should we do with a mostly failed kernel experiment?
