Well, it's still better than trying to implement bignums in Python itself on top of limited precision integers.

I'm not even sure whether the prototype in question here uses bignums. Perhaps they use numpy in some clever way (which would probably be a better illustration of my thesis). Or perhaps it's fast enough as it is?
US spent 13.7B on census which is 1.37B/year since a census is done per 10 year. The ROI is definitely huge. It's not expensive at all.
It's amazing to me that the writer of that piece walked away with the conclusion that Eric Alexander was in the right.

I was thinking of world sales. Sales are up in Europe for all EVs except Tesla, which is down significantly
Ads would still be served though. You don’t need European companies for that.
The claim was "safe", not GC equivalent or memory minimal. You're right, all things have tradeoffs and borrow checker is no different.
I just meant that I found this set of reviews to be informative and accurate. It had information that I couldn’t find online elsewhere which is really my main criteria. Generally I’ll skip anything from nbc because of the ads but in this case I read it to form an opinion and the article seemed alright.
Also gotta wonder if he might have sent a cease and desist about that bio.
The best way to tackle "Security Questions" is to generate a passphrase, store in your password manager, and use that for the answer.

In the unlikely event you ever need to recover your account with the Security Answer, it's much easier to read out a few words than a 16+ character random password.
Tested this out again with Overwatch - latency is single-digit milliseconds even at 4k120. I can feel a _slight_ bit of lag at those settings, anything below that is as good as local.
Depending on how much it would cost to hack together a version of this at home, this might actually solve a home food cutting problem I have, haha. I'll have to look into it.
The AI slop is definitely less expensive for the author, as all the efforts are expended by CF's infrastructure, while the host sees zero requests.

In the previous discussions, one of the big AI problems was that they follow every link [0], including expensive ones like "git blame" view.. as well as "every commit of every log", which can be easily in millions if you have mirrors of few repos with many branches. It's simply impossible to cache this all at CloudFlare, and solution like AI maze (or outright blocking) seem like the only way.

I feel you about "requests one-liners in python" - I am still running a few of those in crontab on some server.. but their time might be past. The "average guy" does not care about this kind of scripting, so we will get lumped together with evil AI and blocked.

If a service cant operate in Europe what incentive is there to comply with EU regulation?
well that is direct! but from an outsider's point of view.. Isn't the larger picture that nation-states (USA) and federated countries (EU,UK) are requiring secure, signed and authoritative packaging for binaries that are deployed for national critical infrastructure and more. The laws of the EU requiring a public register of origin for software, each binary (?) So despite the direct language there, actually it can get worse, for example hypothetical Irish casino operators make a company that is the title holder to build secure binaries to spec, and it is a massive lawyer-fest and billing machine while things accumulate. Is this possible?
It’s interesting it took you this long to substitute “junior coder” with LLM. The implicit safety is just as applicable to teams of human error prone devs.
Unfortunately this book has the classic fault of osdev tutorials: lots of talking about x86 minutiae, very little osdev. X86 minutiae is not osdev. It is a vanishingly small portion of what even a basic OS has to deal with.
"A Jewish man goes into the synagogue and prays. "O Lord, you know the mess I'm in, please let me win the lottery."

The next week, he's back again, and this time he's complaining. "O Lord, didn't you hear my prayer last week? I'll lose everything I hold dear unless I win the lottery."

The third week, he comes back to the synagogue, and this time he's desperate. "O Lord, this is the third time I've prayed to you to let me win the lottery! I ask and I plead and still you don't help me!"

Suddenly a booming voice sounds from heaven. "Benny, Benny, be reasonable. Meet me half way. Buy a lottery ticket!""
I'm thinking, what are the odds that the president of some boutique audio cable company would be a litigator.
In practice, it is not what happens. I've been doing AI assisted Rust for some time, and it is very convincing that this is the way. I expect 6mo to 1y to be basically fully automated.

Rust has tons of code out there, and quality code. Different from js or Python that has an abundance of low quality to pure garbage code.
You "get a say" when voting, but you do not "get to say" where your money goes exactly. Those phrases have very different meanings, maybe you got them confused
It happened but it's not why Facebook was created. FB was a government project. I would call Hot or Not a side project.
So by your definition, prior to the subway unification in 1940, paying the fare on the city-owned IND lines would be a tax, whereas paying the fare on the IRT and BMT was not?

Airfare isn't a tax, but Amtrak tickets are?

If I ride public transit in a foreign country, I'm paying a tax and the IRS will let me use the Foreign Tax Credit?

If I mail a package using USPS, that's a tax, but if I send a package using FedEx or UPS it's not?

No one I've ever met defines taxes that way. Nothing I've ever read defines taxes that way. If you want to convincingly define public transit fare as a tax, cite some reliable sources for this, because I literally can't find anything anywhere that supports this notion.
Aren't they the ones violating CFAA? They made an account for GP then accessed it without authorization.
This is a severe take. I for one read the summary and decided the full piece was worth reading.

But I get it. Summaries can suck the joy out of the journey sometimes. An alternate approach I've been taking is seeding my own Kagi assistant with context of who I am and what I like, then asking it, not for a summary, but if the long read is something I would enjoy. It usually is right.
But that would be a great firewall if they applied it as broadly as suggested (to all services that dont transfer majority ownership to EU).
"Bot attack protection" mode is also opt-in and many sysadmins just enable it immediately after setting up their website with CF and forget about it (because Cloudflare's marketing suggests it), leading to legitimate browsers being blocked: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43329320

With so much hate towards LLMs right now (which isn't unjustified) being vented on the internet there's no doubt sysadmins will do the same here and niche user agents will again suffer.
Underpriced water contributes to California's almond growing. I did not wish to imply that it's the sole cause of all of California's almond growing.

Obviously, there are plenty of places on earth that have essentially free water, and almost none of them grow almonds.

> If water were priced by auction, which I support, almond growers would invest in less wasteful irrigation methods, mostly subsurface drip: [...]

Yes, of course. But that investment costs more money compared to what they are getting away with today, so on the margin we would see less almonds grown in California.

Your suggestion that a reasonably priced water would drop alfalfa production in California a lot more than almond production seems reasonable.

(A slight complication: the fields currently growing alfalfa would presumably grow something else instead of lying fallow. As a second order effect that might lead to more almonds being grown. It would depend on a lot of factors.)
The problem is most people won't send in a check to the matchmaker when they get married (or whatever the success criteria is). You've got to pay before the introduction, and you can't know if the introduction will be good before you have it.

E-Harmony seemed like it was going for the pay a bit more, one time, and you'll take who you get and be done. But I don't know if that worked for them.
Ah gotcha. I agree with what you’re saying then - its definitely a shift.

This is so cool. Alas, probably no way to get at home
However it is much easier to statically analyse rust and rust has compile time validations compared to an interpreted language like python. This makes it easier to produce code with write compile fix loop from an agentic llm in rust than python.

In my experience llms are not particularly bad with rust compared to python, though I've only toyed with them minimally.
LoL that's not how they're spending more money.
This sort of post should result in a permanent ban on any platform. If someone thinks it's too long they can copy and paste it themselves.
If the US removed every non US service that doesn’t transfer majority ownership of US operation to a US firm, like he is suggesting the EU does, then yes. That would constitute a Great Firewall.

Tiktok is the exception that proves the rule .
No, they are axioms. Peano arithmetic itself is a first-order theory, and a theory is just a recursively enumerable set of axioms.

Enderton, “A Mathematical Introduction to Logic, 2nd Ed.”, p,203,269-270

Kleene, “Mathematical Logic”, p.206

EDIT: It seems like you're talking about Peano's original historical formulation of arithmetic? That's all well and good but it is categorically not what is meant by "Peano Arithmetic" in any modern context. I've provided two citations from pretty far apart in time editions of common logic texts (well, "Mathematical Logic" is a bit of a weird book, but Kleene is certainly an authority) and I hope that demonstrates this.

There's a lot of reasons that the theory is pretty much always discussed as a first-order theory. The biggest, of course, is that when taken as a first-order theory it fits neatly into the proof and statement of Godel's Incompleteness Theorems, but iiuc it's just generally much less useful in a model theoretic context to take it as a second order theory (to the point where I only ever saw this discussed as a historical note, not as a mathematical one).

EDIT 2: This is all a digression anyway. Both first- and second-order PA label the start of the Z-chain as 0; so any model of PA contains 0 when interpreted as a model of PA.
They have lives outside of their way of making money.

They have friends, family, a community that they belong to.

Affecting their relationship with those things hurts them.

I'm kind of confused why 'name and shame' requires such an in-depth explanation. Patent trolls arent the first kind of social parasite to exist and their parasitism doesn't render them immune to all forms of pressure.

Social pressure is often one of the most effective ways of pressuring someone.
On this topic, I signed up for a new bank account online. They did not approve instantly, so I wasn't able to set up an account during the application. No big deal. A while later, they approved the application and invited me to sign up for an online account and do some setup with the account.

Of course, I can't do any of that without an account number which they haven't given me. I assume it'll arrive in the mail eventually.
Iron* is based on dynamic language support... JScript.Net wasn't and was abandoned well before.
I quite agree here, but to go a step further here:

Lots of people express this fear that BSD-licensing of components will lead to a world where all the big proprietary software just locks everything down. But if you actually work with large software, you end up finding out that it's actually a lot of work to maintain your own fork, and so you start pushing to get more things upstreamed. Because, after all, if your code is private, it's your task to fix it if somebody breaks it, but if it's upstreamed, it's their task to do it.

An interesting datapoint is LLVM/Clang, where, yes, lots of companies have their own proprietary forks of Clang. But for the most part, those companies still upstream gobs of stuff: most of the biggest contributors to the project are the people with the proprietary forks. Furthermore, as I understand it, basically everybody relying on EDG has, or is in the process of, worked to move off of it into Clang. Which, if EDG dies, means that the permissively-license Clang has done more to kill off proprietary compilers than copyleft-licensed GCC has.

The best defense against proprietary software is to make it too expensive for proprietary software to compete, and using a permissive license means you can trick the companies making proprietary software into helping you do that.
The claim was “leaks are hard to code by accident”. I agree with gp that this is false.

Preventing leaks is explicitly not a goal of rust and making lifetimes correct often involves giving up and making unnecessary static lifetimes. I see this all the time in async rpc stream stuff.
Ad spots dont need to come from local companies.

And if they are collecting data against EU regulations how do they stop them? They already aren’t complying with the joint venture in this hypothetical. They dont pay the fine. Then you have to ban them.

Thats the dynamic in China. You have a domestic company that owns the operations and is fully regulated bu the host country. And you have to ban anyone that doesn’t cooperate with that model.
same here. I think rust + llm combo is unbeatable.
Just about everyone on YT as well as online sided with the reviewer because Tekton were being ridiculous.
My high school was Ft. Knox, armed guards, metal detectors, ID must be worn and visible at all times. No backpacks, waist band exposed. Class doors automatically lock when the bell rang, anyone in the hall would be escorted out. No hall passes, no bathroom breaks, cameras everywhere.

Except for 1 week. We had basketball tournaments and activities, movies, pizza parties, free ice cream. Wear whatever you want. No ID enforcement.

That was the week they counted attendance to determine how much funding the school got. They even bussed the "bad" kids in from the satellite campus.
the foreman grills gets a lot of flack but it's a damn good cooking utensil and if not for him I'm not sure it would have been as publicized as it was.

RIP
An air conditioning unit generally has a good filter on it that will get most of the larger particles suspended in the air column given it runs for an extended period of time. Even with the fan running, the typical unit generally pushes air with two fans, internal and external -- it is cheaper in the long haul to have a set up which is basically fan and filter.

There are cheaper DIY options which work nearly as well as bought air filters and there are a few online instructions on how to make one. Basically a box fan with some air con filter taped or attached to the front or back of the fan unit, depending one what sort of fan blade is provided. Some suck better though a filter than push though a filter.

I have in the past relied on the air conditioner unit to clean up really dusty air, but found that I needed a ground level fan blowing over the floor to stir up any dust that might settle. Used this approach for both getting a room ready to paint, as well as back 20 years ago when I needed a clean room to try and recover data off a couple problematic hard drives.
Well, he advocated for and eventually got generics, so it could happen here too.
Amazon has handheld versions for the low, low price of.....$3,752.
RIP. Was a big fan of Foreman growing up, even though his initial heyday was before my time. Which is one of the reasons I'm fond of him today - he was 48 years old when he was last heavyweight boxing champ.

Every time I'm feeling "too old" to do something physical, I try to remember the baddest man on the planet was older than I am now - a fact that is still crazy to achy 'old' me now.
If you’re talking about California utilities the rate decisions are all on the CPUC website.

Rate increases absolutely aren’t rubber stamped, the CPUC routinely denies expenditures and the comedians rate increases.

But speaking more of the hypothetical, if set up correctly a regulated private utility could be incentivized to reduce costs to capture a higher profit at the same rate.
first of all it's 1.5bn, second of all they're obviously not going to withdraw it all in one account, they're going to find the absolute limit you withdraw from one account without hitting serious KYC, and then do that however many times they need to to withdraw the money

You can't ban me here for speaking truth like you can on reddit, can you :)

I think leaks are indeed harder to code by accident in non-async Rust, which was the original setting Rust was developed on. I wouldn't say it is absolutely hard (that really depends on the architectural complexity), but there seems some truth in that claim.
If the Wilkes Land formation is an impact crater (not proven) it's 2x the size of Chicxulub. You don't need any vulcanization in Siberia to explain a mass extinction.

But it's not proven to be an impact crater, nor is its age determined with any specificity. There's the lack of Iridium, and Erwin also had complaints about the modeling for an "antopodal convergence crack."
George was a beast. Dominant Boxer. One of the greats.

Monster Cables is a name I hadn't thought about in ages... I mostly remember them as the company that tried to convince people that digital images would look better via a more expensive cable.
Then again we use soft-c for e.g. Caesar and Cicero, whereas the original pronunciation would be hard. Kaiser and Kikero.

I actually pronounce Celt both ways depending on the day of the week.

CPUC members in California aren’t voted in, they are nominated by the Governor.

So CA is a unique situation where the regulator effectively controls the public utility so calling it “private” is a bit of a stretch. More like a state controlled entity that trades on the stock market.
Red Hat has been more consistently pro GPL and pro open source and invests more money into it than any other company.

Them putting the downloads of their enterprise OS behind a login screen (student and solo developer licenses can STILL be got for free) is something I 100% understand and am kind of sympathetic about.

I know that's out of like with how some people define free software, but I've always had ethical issues with the way people would redistribute Red Hats work for free. Just because it's legal doesn't make it ethical.
Very cool but I've already settle for this other way of cutting... Limited usefulness on foods although it doesn't stick either

Look, when option A is actually make sure your user gives you contact info that works, option B is include a link that stops sending garbage for a user that doesn't know their email address, and option C is signing up with an email address results in an unending stream of garbage...

I would prefer option A, but I'll accept option B, because it's better than option C.

My long hope is that some day, someone starts to replace the perl-based Debian infrastructure with Rust (or really, anything).

I did a decent bit of mod_perl, love & respect perl, but here in 2025, it's pretty terrifying to me that Debian's main dependency is a pretty sizable perl runtime. That there seems to be very little that will budge this. The whole ecosystem is built atop a language that very few people have interest in, that has much less interest & activity than other modern alternatives.

It's fine if we start switching the user env over to more popular Rust based utilities. But what I really want is for the OS itself to modernize, to start getting away from it's ancient seemingly-unshakeable legacy. Nothing against Perl, but I'd love to see this family of OSes move beyond being Perl only.
SSO is a single point of failure for security and violates defense in depth. SSO is a gift to the adversary
Two things stick out for me.

Red hat provided the source to their kernel with the letter but not the spirit of the law, to impeed Oracle Linux. We'd (Ksplice) get the changes from Redhat version to version as one giant patch file, with all the changes mixed together. There's no chance in hell their internal kernel developers worked that way, but the source was there, so the letter of the GPL was satisfied.

The other thing they did was close the source repos. First you had to be a subscriber to get the binaries, and thus by the GPL, you could get the source. However, if you shared that source code with anyone else and they caught you, they wouldn't let you renew your license the next year, so you couldn't get the newer version, binaries OR source. This also isn't technically against the rules of the GPL, but it's hard to see that as being in line with the spirit of it.

It's hard to see Redhat as the benevolent GPL open source hug supplier with real world business practices like that. Not that I fault them for it, it's just business.
"Although Foreman never confirmed exactly how much he has earned from the endorsement, Salton paid him $138 million in 1999 for the right to use his name. Prior to that, he was paid about 40% of the profits on each grill sold (earning him $4.5 million a month in payouts at its peak), yielding an estimated total of over $200 million just from the endorsement through 2011, substantially more than he earned as a boxer."

Not sure if luck or stars just aligned. But that is some legit naming rights. Kudos to maybe, and I mean it... one of the best at it.
The rust produced by LLMs is quite bad. It’s overly verbose (misses combinators) and often subtly wrong (swallows errors on result types when it shouldn’t). A single errant collect or clone call can destroy your performance and LLMs sprinkle them for no reason.

Unless you are experienced in rust, you have zero ability to catch the kind of mistakes LLMs make producing rust code.
Then I'm native american. Not what nost people want that lable to mean. (Though the ones I know who are that don't care at all)
I think the question answers itself. Some dick that's been spamming the site all day.
Agree that long options should be used. But there is one caveat to consider: portability.

Sadly to this day not all BSD distributions have GNU style long options. And the ones that now do only got them fairly recently. So if you want portability you have to use short options as you weep with a bottle of vodka in hand.
Try German, too. I'm always amazed at the level of German writing, even by regular joes on forums and Discord, compared to for instance Dutch writing.
I don't follow. So you think it cannot be possibly a vastly better language than C, and the only reason people are saying that is because of the hype?
I remember hearing nightmares about ClearCase from some older developers, back in the 90's. I never experienced it myself, so this was all tales of myth and legend to me.
