IMHO, something like "Show HN" is not much different than an ad. In some sense, neither is your resume. They are all about letting people know about options. But I can understand that those can be more contextual than other ads.

You can surmise the behavior from the signature of clone in the same way that you can memcpy(), it returns an owned type so it will allocate. If you want to match the signature of memcpy then you don't want the allocation and you can instead call clone_from() which takes a mutable borrow of something you had to allocate.

> piece of memory i provided to it, so i can safely do some pointer math with the return value.

Except pointer math is never going to be safe in C, a particular case might be bugfree but it is not safe. Moreover, nothing in the C language says that the provenance of the output pointer matches the provenance of the input pointer (it could take a reference to a pointer from some other thread while that other thread is freeing that memory). In rust you will pass a pointer and get a pointer back with the same lifetime, then you can safely use the pointer in that lifetime bound: the provenance is part of the signature. So in this case, you are incorrectly assuming things from the C signature while the corresponding rust signature definitively tells you.

So yeah, if you learn more about rust then you will see that in fact it tells you more than the corresponding C signatures.

Who said anything about American telecom providers specifically?

> If you have the ability to distribute keys directly, asymmetric cryptography adds complexity without much payoff.

It's hard for me to believe that a symmetric key, touched by at least three systems (SIM card, operator HSS, SIM manufacturer), the former two of which can't be completely airgapped for obvious reasons, with no ability to rekey, is more secure than a key that is physically unable to leave a single device.

With a TLS-like system, you'd have to somehow hack every single SIM card to get anywhere. Hacking the manufacturer wouldn't help unless you could make them flash custom software that would exfiltrate the keys, and the consequences of an operator hack could be contained by revoking an immediate certificate and generating a new one, presumably from the operator's root cert, sitting somewhere safe in a completely airgapped HSM.

It was weird to actually read I, Robot and discover that the entire book is a collection of short stories about those laws going wrong. Far as I know, Asimov never actually told a story where those laws were a good thing.

Wrong in the strict formal sense or do you mean even wrong in “spirit”?

Physicists are well-known for using “physicist math” that isn’t formally correct but can easily be made as such in a rigorous sense with the help of a mathematician. Are you saying the papers of the AI community aren’t even correct “in spirit”?
Just how much extra performance could you gain by altering a suit in a way that was not detectable without taking the suit apart?

The article mentions a 5% surface area increase potentially offering benefits, but that's A LOT and if the suits had been altered in that way, surely someone would have noticed?

Also someone took a "secret" video of the suits being altered?

I'm sorry, but this doesn't pass my smell test. I don't doubt the suits having been alerted, but I highly doubt this having been done or ordered by the athletes who used those suits. And neither any of the team members, acting in favor of these athletes.

"napkins?" I squeak out ... it hit me.... FUCK! .... the other night .... I was drunk, out of TP, desperate... paper towels staring me in the face - dare I? It was a moment of weakness, desperation and drunkeness rolled into one ... and here I am, staring the consequences in the face....

No I work in a huge company and many of our systems are 10+ years old. I did have a lot of snippets but AI is good at handling new things I haven't seen before and wouldn't have had a snippet for yet. It's also great for extending configurations / large switch statements / etc. the kind of stuff you see in big codebases.

It's terrible when you get to complex code, but I'd rather spend most of my time there anyways

Meta note: FTM (Follow The Money) is a small Dutch investigative journalism outfit which has exposed a far amount of bad shit in the Netherlands, and probably had the biggest per-staffer impact of any publication here (if you could somehow quantify that).

I wasn't actually aware they had an English-language .eu version but great for them! I found their "about us" page to be a bit obtuse (no names, no locations, making it very similar to the "about" pages of fake news sites and extreme-left/right associated magazines), so figured it might be nice to add this bit of context: In NL, FTM is generally considered a respected news organization and they're not particularly associated with any political angle.

Basically how it goes in NL is:

- FTM writes something
- A few nerds pick it up
- A day later, bigger news sites write the same story worse, sometimes even crediting FTM
- Scandal ensues
As always, the most plausible explanation is left to the end of the article:

The original statement was:

But now you have shifted the goalposts to say the modern day royalty lives better than hundreds of years ago royalty. That is obvious, and not what anyone was claiming otherwise.
Reading about whitespace on tables infuriates me so much.

At a previous job we had an actual good designer figure out what users wanted and she found out users wanted denser information. So she designed a more compact table. It was quite smart, used the whole screen, but still looked amazing and didn't feel cramped.

Then my company released it as a library for the whole company to use and the first thing one of the product managers did was requesting margins AND frames around it, plus a lot of whitespace between cells.

Now instead of displaying around 25 items on the screen at a given time, this other system can only display around 10.

The cherry on top: it looks horrible with the frame and with the unbalanced margins.
Don't underestimate how much effort it takes to apply a technique (LLMs) to a certain domain.

Creating a good user interface, processing the code into appropriate embeddings for useful matching, and marketing are just three things that take a lot of effort to get right.

The fragmented landscape of alternatives is not attractive at all.

One thing I'm quite worried about, though, is that Cursor is a fork of VS Code. This will never be maintainable in the long run, in particular if Microsoft does not want them to continue.

The irony here is the government has little grip in much of central Africa. Militias roam the bush with little fear of law. Places like CAR are nations only because europeans drew it like that on a map. Killing the internet may be the only lever of control for the central government, they cannot control people's lives to nearly the extent is done in most the west.

In places like the US they can just use one of the gazillion laws on the books to charge anyone, then send the police on any corner to get them. There is no need to kill the internet.
I ground an 8" mirror in my living room using Jean Texereau's book as a guide (i.e., pre-YouTube). A plastic garbage bag on the floor handled any wet grit. I don't understand what grinding dust you experienced - the grit is always wet. It was a great experience and thrilling to see the view even before the mirror was aluminized.
Postgres dump to Apache Iceberg, OLake got one step closer
It gives me immense joy to announce that we OLake’s (olake.io/docs) now supports Postgres as a data souce. Now you can:

1. Sync Postgres -> AWS S3 in parquet format [JSON dump and Level 1 flattened data support]
2. Sync Postgres -> Iceberg [in a few days, schema evolution support of Iceberg]
3. Sync Postgres -> Local Filestorage with everything we support for S3.

Want to test it out locally?
Sync Postgres via OLake -> MinIO (using JDBC catalog) -> Query using Engines that support Iceberg V2 tables [doc launching pretty soon]

We talked with 100s of DE’s to understand their pain point and the two major issues for them were replicating Postgres and MySQL to a lakehouse format. They said, we delivered.

Our source connectors and writers are independent, meaning that after Apache Iceberg writers are being supported (PR - https://github.com/datazip-inc/olake/pull/113), any new connector will be able to dump to Iceberg with minimal changes!

Agreed. And my impression is that Gruber is a thoughtful, careful writer. I don't know any details, but he must have a fair number of sources within Apple too. So when he writes this (uncharacteristic for him) piece just excoriating Apple's management, I'm pretty sure it's not just him being in a grumpy mood or being dramatic for click-bait. He must be aware that things related to Siri/Apple Intelligence are as bad or worse than they appear and that management doesn't have a good handle on it.
If the eye button is available it is clearly the intention.

Why do you think it's a stretch? If Starlink wants to legally operate in a country as an ISP then it has to comply with the laws of that country. Just because it's using satellites instead of locally deployed physical infrastructure doesn't absolve it from ISP and general telecomunications regulations of a country.

So if the Spanish government were to make a law saying all ISPs must block the following domains for whatever reason, then Starlink must also comply in that jurisdiction or face fines or get booted out, and I don't know many businesses that take pleasure in being in contempt of the courts.
Dithering is something of a lost art now that our displays can handle millions of colors in high definition, but it can be a striking artistic effect.

IMO, it is just as good as Java and c, but rust people will say rust is better than both.

But the standard is COBOL, for business applications you need predictable fixed point math. By that, if you divide 1/3 you get .33 instead of .33333333333333333, depending on how the numeric item is formatted. Or maybe a better example, 1/6 you would get .17 instead of .166666666

Does rust have that ability ? I do not know. Some bolt on libraries exist for c, but it is a bit harder to use IIRC.

If you're trying to understand the original article I think you have enough information.

If you want to expand your understanding of English then you have some leads to follow and an opportunity to learn. If you don't believe them that's your choice, but it's not evidence to the contrary.

If you're trying to gate-keep and prescribe someone else's language, then you should at least respect if others don't want to join your argument.
