In opposition to the Nazi tenets (and your characterization of it as being "black and white"), LOTR explicitly counsels mercy and not being too confident in your judgements.

"What a pity Bilbo did not stab the vile creature, when he had a chance!

Pity? It was Pity that stayed his hand. Pity, and Mercy: not to strike without need.

I do not feel any pity for Gollum. He deserves death.

Deserves death! I daresay he does. Many that live deserve death. And some die that deserve life. Can you give that to them? Then be not too eager to deal out death in the name of justice, fearing for your own safety. Even the wise cannot see all ends."

In v0.1, we have a dependency on pg_duckdb which does not support citus (https://github.com/duckdb/pg_duckdb/issues/444).

With what we're working in v0.2, we re-architecture some of our dependencies there, and will be able to scale out and support Citus.
We sometimes decry the lack of "third places", neither home nor work (or school). People go there to be social in more flexible ways. I have imagined opening a coffee shop/art gallery by that name.

Maybe not such a great name now, since the second places are getting murkier. But the need is still there.
The article kind of glosses over a key point about how all of this works and why "rotation" vs "shape changing" are difficult to distinguish. That's all because of anisotropy of seismic velocity in the inner core.

In other words, sound (seismic waves) travels much faster in one direction than the other through the inner core. That's true of most rocks to some degree, and it implies that the crystalline iron in the inner core is mostly aligned in a similar direction. But that is at the core (pun intended) of all of this.

So the "fast direction" has subtly changed over time based on the data we have. That's the "the Earth's inner core rotates differently than the rest" part. But we're mostly basing that on travel times in each direction (it's more complex than that - more in a bit). The differences "more fast stuff" and "less slower stuff" are hard to distinguish precisely, though they can be distinguished because of effects that occur at the boundary between different velocity + density bodies. It's also harder because the outer core is liquid and removes a key source of information coming from wave interactions at those boundaries (shear waves).

This is basically doing a lot of clever reprocessing of old data to carefully look data after corrections for the moderately-well-constrained rotation of the inner core. Rotation of the inner core can't explain all of the differences, so another thing that might cause it is changes in the shape of the boundary between the inner and outer core. It's also possible it's noise, though presumably the authors investigated that part carefully (haven't read the scientific article, but the primary author is a very well known person in the field, so the analysis is likely very sound).

There are always alternate explanations, though. Changes in shape on the order called for here do need an explanation via geological processes. Kilometer scale changes in a decade are difficult to immediately explain, though not impossible. I have no doubt the analysis is sound, but from a geologic perspective, this (and previous) work raises a lot of interesting questions.
Translation of cuneiform is limited by the number of people who know the different Semitic and nonsemitic languages. Bulk transcription of the texts just makes the amount of material available to translate even more overwhelming.

Well you normally don't have perfect information. Imagine you're woken up in the middle of the night by a window breaking, you hear somebody coming down the hall, and there's a strange figure in your doorway. In the worst cases you could be moments from death or sexual assault, or perhaps there's no violent intent at all.

Are you obligated to wait until you have evidence of violent intent to use a gun?
The US hard-separates children and adults more than other countries.

What the government potentially offers more paths to opportunity and success though, in that they do the research and then spin it out into the public sector to commercialize. So things that might not even get off the ground in the public sector get their chance and yet there is still a path for commercialization. That said, I’m sitting here a stones throw away from the national lab in Richland and I’m not sure why we don’t see even more innovation happening in the public sector here given the per capita number of phds, scientists and engineers here - my guess is we haven’t built the public sector infrastructure for it.

"may degrade an already precarious online environment"

Not may, will.

Furthermore, I will never wrap my head around why people would use AI for a use-case like this. It entirely defeats the purpose of interacting with people. If you are awkward, with enough time you will either find someone who is also awkward, or someone who doesn't care/finds it endearing.

All the high index lens materials suffer from chromatic aberration.

The lens material you've now chosen actually has the best optical properties out of all the plastic lens materials. Its only downside is that the refractive index is only 1.5 which does mean they will be a little bit thicker than the high index ones.

You could also try a material called Trivex which also has low chromatic aberration while being a little thinner than the material you are using which is called CR-39

That depends on deployment, but on a network that's trying to shut down 2G, I'd expect them to have updated most of their towers to 4g/5g already, with exceptions being where they only have enough spectrum to run the smallest possible block of 2G.

4G and 5G also opened up more frequencies, some higher and some lower; lower frequencies generally travel further so assuming spectrum is available to carriers, I would expect most towers, at least in areas with coverage problems, to start using new frequencies when they get upgraded to 4G.

Certainly while carriers are building out, there will be pockets of coverage where older generation is better, but personally, I found I got better coverage once I was able to use 5G. I was in a good coverage area when I moved to 4G, so I remember that less for increased coverage and more for increased quality of service.

We're back to square one: show me some real Rust libraries in widespread use actually adhering to this philosophy. And then I want to see some applications built with this philosophy. Then we can look at what the actual user experience difference is when a bug occurs. In one case, you get a panic with a stack trace. In the other, you get an error value that the application does... what with? Prints it as an unactionable error to end users and aborts? If it continues on, does your library make any guarantees about the consistency of its internal state when a runtime invariant is broken?

Panicking branches are everywhere in Rust. And even in your blog, you needed to use `unsafe` to avoid some of them. So I don't really get why you claim it is safer.

Users of my libraries would 100% be super annoyed by this. Imagine if `Regex::find` returned a `Result` purely because a bug might happen.

> But in some cases, that extra work might be justified. Isn't it nice that this possibility exists?

What I said above:

> Sure, you can propagate an error. I just don't really see a compelling reason to do so. Like, maybe there are niche scenarios where maybe it's worthwhile, but I do not see how it would be compelling to suggest it as general practice.

Your blog is an interesting technical exercise, but you spend comparatively little time on whether doing it is actually worth the trouble. And there is effectively no space at all reserved to how this impacts library API design. To be fair, you do acknowledge this:

> I should be clear that I have not yet attempted this technique at scale, so I cannot report on how well it works in practice. For now it is an exciting future direction for upb, and one that I hope will pay off.

From your blog, you list 3 reasons to do this: binary size, unrecoverability and runtime overhead.

I find that binary size is the only legitimate reason here, and for saving 300 KB, I would absolutely call that very niche. And especially so given that you can make panics abort to remove the code size overhead.

I find unrecoverability unconvincing because we are talking about bugs here. Panics are just one very convenient manifestation of a bug. But lots of bugs are silent and just make the output incorrect in some way. I just don't see a problem at all with bugs, generally, causing an abort with a useful error message.

I find runtime overhead very unconvincing because you can opt out of them on a case-by-case basis when perf demands it.

We can go around the maypole all day on this. But I want to see real examples following your philosophy. Because then I can poke and prod at it and point to what I think you're missing. Is the `upd` port publicly available?

Q.E.D
In my experience I’ve found that people can struggle on real life dates regardless of whether they used AI or not. Sending messages back and forth, having minutes or hours to craft a perfect response is far different than having a conversation in person. That smooth talker who said all the right things in text turns out to be nothing more than a fumbling marble mouth in person.

That’s why if you’re online dating you need to be ready to meet in person right away, otherwise you’re wasting your time. A long conversation is not going to make you any less likely to be killed by a serial killer nor does it weed out guys just looking for sex. If someone looks good and doesn’t open with cringe or creepy lines just meet in a neutral place for coffee or drinks and take it from there, you may be glad you did. Don’t overthink it.

AI Dating Bots are a lie sold to people who think better messages are the key to success. The truth is your success has always depended on luck, the right match at the right time.

You might be surprised, but back in the day before overprotective parents, “free range kids” were a thing. I was riding my bike all over the city (albeit not New York) with friends and just told to be home by 8:00 with no cell phones. I was 10-11 years old.

Even in Atlanta where my wife grew up she was riding the public bus at 12 with her younger brother going to the mall.

I think this analysis presumes that the initial problem is real and the concern for it is made in good faith. The senate isn't immune to concern trolling and "protecting the children" is probably the most famous and most used smokescreen for people with ulterior motives. Accepting the premise is not usually a good strategy.

And we don't even have to speculate anymore what they are because the plan is out in the open. So when someone shows up with what is ostensibly a non-problem in the real world but the solution to which happens to be the legal tool they need for this other less popular worse thing they've loudly said they want I think it's normal and intellectually honest for that to be the analysis. "The EFF doesn't care about child safety" is exactly what they wanted you to say to dismiss any reasoned opposition.

You advocate a particular coding style and I ask for real world examples demonstrating your advocacy in the real world. That's absolutely relevant!

In contrast, the style I advocate has dozens of examples at your fingertips running in production right now. Including the Rust standard library itself. The Rust standard library happily uses `unwrap()` all over the place and specifically does not propagate errors that are purely the result of bugs coming from broken internal runtime invariants.

If Kursk appears not to be covered by the Russian nuclear umbrella in practice, what realistically will cause any country to fire off nuclear missiles?

Existential threat. An attack like Prigozhin's mutiny; an overwhelming force approaching Moscow, with nothing in the way to stop them. This is a realistic scenario where nuclear weapons could be launched as a final "fuck you". Ukraine was in this kind of final stand when Russian forces were on the outskirts of Kyiv, an attack on the city was expected at any moment, and soldiers were handing out guns and ammo from dump trucks to anyone who wanted them. This is the moment to launch nuclear weapons, if you have any. The final, desperate moment before being overrun.

Kursk is nothing of the sort. Russia attacked Ukraine, Ukraine countered, and pushed Russian forces back by 10 miles into Russian territory - so what? Trying to spin this as a "land invasion of Russia" is ridiculous hyperbole that even Russian military experts don't take seriously. I distinctly remember one of them demonstratively rolling his eyes and sighing when Solovyov tried to push the same narrative with leading questions on his show.

You're completely right.

For many (of all genders), any opportunity to distance themselves from those feelings while still imagining some kind of success is going to be enticing.
