RustPython is just an interpreter written in Rust. There's no reason why it would be meaningfully faster than CPython just because it's written in Rust rather than C. Rust adds memory safety, not necessarily speed.

A new and immature interpreter is going to have other problems:

- Lack of compatibility with CPython
- Not up to date with latest version features
- Incompatibility with CPython extensions

RustPython is a cool project, but it's not reached the big time yet.

It's over. The Republicans larded up the CR with poison pills and dared the Democrats to block it. Chuck Shumer, the leader of the Democrats in the Senate, didn't have the stomach to do so, fearing the populace would be convinced all the resulting harms of a government shutdown would be pinned on the Democrats. He's probably right. They did vote for Trump twice in sufficient numbers to give him power. Anyway, that was the only point of leverage the Democrats had and now it's gone. In Shumer's calculation they never had it anyway.
I’d generalize that somewhat to say that LLMs are good where you can cheaply verify the results relative to the cost of being wrong. A lot of scamming is already structured around most people ignoring their messages, and they don’t support anything so it’s just a question of whether they lose more potential marks than doing it manually.

(This is also why coding is one of the areas where they perform best: the cost of structural validation is low and there’s a human in the loop verifying the behavior)
Why not? AGI can design the chip, send the instructions to TSMC's AGI, and you'll get your chips.

The point is that saying AGI is the reason you shouldn't invest in Nvidia stock because AGI will remove the CUDA moat is just not reasonable. You might as well not invest in anything in that world since AGI can replace anything.

Social media has democratized propaganda.

Political messages often come from ostensibly small, independent outlets now - outlets whose incentives are no better than those of governments.

A show might be hosted by a couple teenagers in hoodies, but if the hosts are audience-captured, or supported by powerful interests, or just hold strong, irrational views, it's still just bad propaganda.

with uv (and pip) you can pass the --no-binary flag and it will download the source code and build all you dependencies, rather than downloading prebuilt binaries.

It should also respect any CFLAGS and LDFLAGS you set, but I haven't actually tested that with uv.

I'd ask my AGI to iterate on a social app until it becomes bigger/better than Instagram.

You're right that perhaps real estate/physical things will become more important. But whose to say AGI can't invent an asteroid mining industry and we get unlimited minerals?
LLM just create a new layer of abstraction over the traditional "software" — and a very bad one. In a long run, this is more expensive than just doing "traditional" software development.
I had an opportunity to talk about racism with a racist. He said that he was not racist because he didn’t want to kill people of color. He is the kind of person, who doesn’t go into a restaurant if there are non whites in it, even in the safest neighbourhood.

Since then, I’m not sure at all about that. There are definitely a lot of racists, who don’t consider themselves as such. I’m not sure that they are not the majority.

It’s quite possible that this can be generalised, and applied to this too.
rdap is nice when it's available.

Mississippi is the chronic showcase of american wealth inequality.

Mississippi has the lowest life expectancy in the U.S. (about 73 years), significantly lower than the national average (77).

Mississippi has the lowest median household income in the U.S. (about $52,000 in 2022), compared to a U.S. median of around $75,000.

Mississippi has high rates of obesity, diabetes, and preventable diseases, partly due to poor healthcare access.

France and Italy have top-tier universal healthcare, while the UK's NHS, despite challenges, still provides free-at-point-of-use care.

In Mississippi, many rely on Medicaid or have limited healthcare options.

Mississippi’s school system ranks among the worst in the U.S. European countries have stronger public education systems and more government support for higher education.

Hey there, excited first time user here.
Thanks for creating this!

I started playing around with it yesterday evening. Running Claude Desktop under manjaro linux with some tweaks, I did managed to activate codemcp.

As I am also quite new with mcp and how to proper use the protocol in tools, I am not sure I did everything correct. I did also install filesystem, git, github and sequential-thinking along side.

However, git will not work. The addition of the mcp git server might not be needed? But without it, it did also not work

However, what it has done so far is mind blowing. I did create a long query the other day about a project idea. This generated a road map, detailed implementation instruction, guidlines, all that is needed to complete the problem. I let it Claude Desktop read in the files with help of codemcp.

Claude Dekstop have been working for multiple hours before I seem to have hot some kind of limit. I now get the message to type continue, but it always start the with the same task.

And what it has been created is awesome. The frontend is nearly finished, but it lacked to create the startup code first.
Overall I am blow away what I can do with mcp and esp. with this small lib the author has created here. Code quality is good and event though I had multiple limits, where I needed to type continue, the code is logically make sense. Really good!

I also do not yet know how I can continue a old session.

P.S.
@anthropic, If you are reading this. I really do not want to abuse your service. Please, instead of giving me no answer, or beeing stuck in an infinite loop, give me a proper return code and a error, that I reached my limit for the next X minutes or so. I would really love this
People should care about climate change, that's different from whether people do care about it.

More importantly though, those that do care should do as much as they're willing to do to help avoid making it worse.

For some that means choosing to only buy products made with natural materials, growing/raising their own food, drinking rain water, etc. For others that means not using plastic straws.

There's no perfect answer and no one really knows what will happen in the future or how to best change it. Regulators fall into this camp too, they don't know the future and they can't accurately predict precisely what must be don't. Expecting this of them is a fools errand and demanding everyone do what they say is oppressive at best.

I'm referring to Israel's invasion of Palestine, which in this specific instance started on October 9, 2023 or so, and resulted in the total destruction of Gaza, and the direct killing of 60,000, and the indirect killing of possibly 300,000.

This is the invasion that had more bombs dropped on Gazan civilians than were dropped in the entire Afghanistan war. And one in which Israeli snipers repeatedly shot and killed children, doctors, and journalists.

I was not specifically referring to Israel's 17 year blockade of Gaza, during which it destroyed their airport, port, and control the water supply and electricity, which it has currently cut off, a severe war crime.

Nor am I specifically referring to Israel's invasion of the West Bank, currently happening, where Israel has recently stolen more land than all the land it stole since the Oslo accords.

Nor am I specifically referring to Israel's brutal domination of Palestine since its invasion in 1948, during which European refugees drove 750,000 native Palestinians from their homes, stealing their land and massacring over 15,000 in a series of brutal attacks.

What’s also terrible is when someone adds “PULL” in standalone adhesive letters on one side of a glass door. There’s no backing on it and our brains can easily read the word “PULL” even when it’s backwards, so if I read it first I will pull from the push side.
Good move. The reaction to the new UK regulation was way over the top for a small, highly moderated, American forum (i.e. risk is zero).
I think Craig Bohren wrote in one of his books, that to get anything calculated and done the waves are all you need. Particles are nice for some kind of visualization, but they don't really help getting things done. I liked that.

Instead of particles I like to view the interactions like the forming of a lightning in a thunderstorm. The energy-field builds up, And at some point of contact the energy is being released in a single lightning strike.

What I still wonder is, if the interaction really depletes the energy-field instantly in a single point, or if there is more going on (on different timescales - maybe with speeds not related to the speed of light).
I honestly can't tell if it was stupid or genius of them, on a corporate level, to sell cheap PC:s that directly competed with Amigas in the home segment. On the one hand, they helped usher in the demise of their own cash cow. On the other hand, there was no shortage of competition from other home PC manufacturers.
A self-signed SSL cert could work for it. There may also exist other solutions that we are not aware of.

The best teacher, at least for software developers, is strict automation that yells at you when you are in violation and guides you in moments of confusion. This is how I first learned to write software as a self taught developer many years ago, using a tool called JSLint. Back in the day it came with a warning: JSLint may hurt your feelings.
On my Subaru the “full auto” HVAC mode automatically switches it to outside air. So I never use it, because I inhale more exhaust and pollen. Pretty bad design for an otherwise well-designed car.
"Do not send voice recordings" back to Amazon HQ =/= "privacy focused." It's arguably a necessary feature for minimal privacy in one's home, and I expect that a lot of people bought those devices with that in mind.

If the FTC doesn't fix this kind of spontaneous downgrade, I'm not sure what they're for at all.

> ever since they convinced me to put a microphone in my house, it's almost as if that was their end game

It was. You’re one of the few in the thread to realize that, while others are frothing at the mouth over Democrats vs Republicans or EU vs US. The Echo and like devices were never about you but about putting surveillance gear in your house and getting you to pay for it. At least on old rotary phones the cradle switch or plungers physically broke the circuit that powered the microphones. The modern cell phone and home assistant and security cameras smart televisions and smart vehicles are surveilling you at all times.
Yeah it has precompiled Python binaries. They're custom standalone builds of CPython: https://github.com/astral-sh/python-build-standalone

You can also import existing Python versions into uv, for example on my Mac it has imported the Homebrew versions.

Etymology is a science. This is random guesswork, and it's not even very precise (deriving refuggle from refugee is definitely objectively wrong).

Except it won't work, they will retro justify the leopard eating their face to their death bed, taking down everybody with them as they do so.

You have a gender pronoun. You likely expect people to refer to you as "he" or "she." You likely extend that preference elsewhere, to honorifics like "Mr." or titles like "Chairwoman."

I've met more trans people than I've met Ukrainians. That doesn't stop me from supporting Ukraine.

Only about 20% of people in IT/programming are women. This alone means you should hear about 4 trans women for every trans man in this field.

To show how that works out, with ~0.5% of the adult population trans that means about 80% * 0.5% = 0.4% of the population is a transwoman, so if you see a woman in IT there's a 2% chance she's a transwoman.

On the other hand, 20% * 0.5% = 0.1% of the population is a transman, so if you see a man in IT there's a 0.125% chance it's a transman.

As an extreme case, if no assigned-female-at-birth people go into IT, then 100% of all women in IT will be trans.

raises hand

There are exactly two companies which make a device capable of actually integrating with every home automation and voice control, so given the options, I assumed Amazon would have fewer evil ideas than Google, seeing as the mechanism for Amazon profiting off the data directly is clear and the mechanism for Google has 100 teams building different products to consume that data in 1000 ways I can't begin to consider.

So yeah, given the dichotomy, it seemed like a clear privacy decision to me.
I wonder how this relates to Jim Tcl which you also originally authored?
"Beyond Jira", but searching for API yields no results, except for Zapier.

Scaleway is a subsidiary of a public company (Iliad), just like AWS is a subsidiary of Amazon.
At least legally, it likely matters more whether the feature was marketed specifically and whether its considered required for the core functionality of the device.

I think the answer would be no to both, but IANAL.
What popular high performance memory safe system programming language existed in 2006?

Threw me off at first as well. I was thinking of tasks per month. But this seems to be just pay as you go top-ups. Makes sense from a freelancer perspective. If I have work, I top-up my account. If there is none, I don't feel pressure like from all the other monthly subscriptions.

Tbf Jira's "hard problems" are really things that shouldn't be done in the first place, like the insane configurability. Just ends up in a mess.

The problem with Jira is that it's enterprise software that's put in place by people that don't actually have to use it.

The TOS probably has a line about no features being guaranteed somewhere so that's fine.
I still hold the theory that the entire success of Apple post-1997 hinged on iTunes for Windows.

iMac and iPod were good products but iPod was stumbling along as a Mac-only product. Letting PC users use iPods opened the cash floodgates and let the iPhone get developed.
The ideal is be able to reduce to effectively noncommercial at-cost operations, perhaps by distributing through services that are paid for but underutilized.

Some people think that adtech has to be intrusive and violating for it to be effective, but that's not true - we're just competing against highly vertical monopolies with total dominance, from browser to industry. I think sponsorship models might be good alternatives, with service provided through municipal providers like amateur radio bands.

There would have to be some strict rules, but it could be available to anyone within a certain address space who is a private citizen operating in either a non-commercial or limited commercial capacity (and limited external connectivity, like a local LAN), managed like the CB crowd does against unauthorized usage.

If you want to peer with the town over and they're dominated by a private ISP who won't allow it, maybe it'll give them something to think about.
Looks interesting, but do freelancers want something like Jira in the first place?

Jira is mainly used in enterprise settings and good luck convincing project managers to switch from it...

Doom was indeed the death knell of the Amiga - most Amiga games were still targeting ECS due to market share and were pretty much rehashes of old titles.

Doom came along and was the first PC game that was standout with "must have" wow factor. I remember spending hours late one night getting 3 person multi player working via some ghetto IPX over serial hack.
> Imagine if we applied this standard to C code. "Zlib-NG is basically written in assembler, not C..."

We absolutely should, if someone claimed/implied-via-headline that naive C was natively as fast as hand-tuned assembly! This kind of context matters.

FWIW: I'm not talking about the assembly in zlib-rs, I was specifically limiting my analysis to the rust layers doing memory organization, etc... Discussing Rust is just exhausting. It's one digression after another, like the community can't just take a reasonable point ("zlib-rs isn't a good example of idiomatic rust performance") on its face.
