> Study co-author Simon Scarpetta, an evolutionary biologist at the University of San Francisco, says many iguanas are resistant to heat and starvation because of their slow metabolism and often get shunted between islands on clumps of vegetation. “If you had to think of a vertebrate group that could survive a rafting event across thousands of kilometers of open ocean,” he says, “iguanas are a great choice.”

That’s amazing. I didn’t realize there were land animals capable of making a sort of accidental journey lasting months over the open ocean.
While both those points would normally be valid, this is a pretty unique one-time event.

The best way to look at it is that cars are getting redistributed: left-leaning people that bought Teslas are trading them to right-leaning people (that's who are buying such cars today).

Those right-leaning people are getting fairly good deals from their perspective, and they'll use those cars, same as any traded car.

In fact, this is probably going to be a net win for the environment, because for many of those right-leaning people this will be their first electric vehicle, and some of them will continue that habit going forward. This is bringing EVs to a population that was resistant to them until now.
LLM hype was firmly with us with the coming of ChatGPT, November 2022. Records in signing up aren't for nothing.
Your argument is valid, but isn't it clear that the status quo can't continue? Close to half of US voters decided it is OK to ignore climate change. Is it possible to educate them?

The literacy tests in question were designed from the start to be ambiguous, so that the same answers could be marked wrong for a black person and correct for a white person.

No, I saw the "yet." I don't see how it excuses a meaningless menu entry instead of a descriptive one.
It pretty clearly means AI that does things, as opposed to just presenting things. There can be a debate about the technical word "agent" in swe, but i dont see the confusion in the particular context of gen AI. Same for things like MCP, why does everyone suddenly have a stroke and argue over things with clear meaning now?
Everyone loves the electron beam etching. But no one asks how they know where to etch, which is what the most expensive machines do, I.e. mirror surface metrology. It's surprisingly hard to "just measure" the shape and roughness of these things

It doesn't sound like you're disputing my core point, that he's

- trying to benefit (financially) from the unrebutted presumption that the picture shows the monkey's self-awareness and understanding that it's taking a selfie

while also

- trying to benefit (in the courts) from the diametrically opposite position that the picture shows no such thing because of how staged it is.

Thus, "trying to have it both ways".

If your point is just that I shouldn't have represented the subtext of his marketing as an actual quote, while it's okay to do that for the argument he made in the courts ... sure, point conceded.
No, I would not agree that you would be using security by obscurity in that example. Not all security that happens to be weak or fragile and involves secret information somewhere is security by obscurity – it’s specifically the security measure that has to be secret. Of course, there’s not a hard line dividing secret information between categories like “key material” and “security measure”, but I would consider ASLR closer to the former side than the latter and it’s certainly not security by obscurity “by definition” (aside: the rampant misuse of that phrase is my pet peeve).

> The correct definition is simply "using obscurity as a security defense mechanism", nothing more.

This is just restating the term in more words without defining the core concept in context (“obscurity”).

It's a while since I had to deal with this kind of thing, but my memory was that as soon as you go beyond the flags that the upstream developers use (just to be clear, I mean the upstream developers, not the distro packagers) you're buying yourself weird bugs and a whole lot of indifference if they occur.

I haven't used a non-libc malloc before but I suspect the same applies.
As sibling comment said, this is not correct.

In wedding and portrait photography, many clients think that they own copyrights to the photos but they don’t and sometimes get in trouble for violating photographers’ copyrights.
I think I am not exactly the intended audience for these devices right now, so my comment will be a bit general. I don't want "a geeky alternative to apple watch" (or an apple watch, for that matter), I basically want Garmin Forerunner 955 alternative that won't keep my data hostage. There are many things I hate about Garmin watches (which I buy nevertheless), but I can forgive almost all of them except that one. I want my data to be bulk-exportable via open API, and not it some raw .fit format (because they have to comply with GDPR after all), but as a first-class feature, that tries to satisfy a customer by exporting any data it produces in any (realistic) format that customer wants. (I assume you are familiar with other wearables, since this is your domain, but just in case: GDPR forces them to make the data they record directly exportable, but they won't willingly do it for anything that is "processed data", so I can backup my HR history, but not the data they use to make these "sleep phases" graphs, and I can only manually export relatively useless .csv summaries for a given date.)

In short, I really want to stop giving my money to Garmin. But I don't want to compromise on quality of the data being recorded. What are your thoughts on that market?
Mario 64 gets flak for some files not being compiled with optimizations on. There is a YouTuber, whose name I forget at the moment, who has been doing optimization and improvements on it and constantly talks about how this is for the better due to the low instruction cache size and slow speed on the console. Compiling with optimizations explodes code size (unrolling links, inlining, etc) to the point it’s a net loss after factoring in the increased load on the IC.
And yet when you look at the great espionnage stories, the perpetrators were citizens of the country.

Frankly, requiring basic qualifications for a very complex job is actually a solid thing. Especially when any trade school/university degree would work. I don't agree with revoking of the degrees part, but that's just government trying to shut down the opposition. If it wasn't for the degree, they would've done something else, just like it happens during every election.
You may have misunderstood the coment you replied to.

All the C/asm contracts I got were through networking with companies actually building real stuff. In my experience the freelancing sites mostly list work for which there are lots of available programmers, like C#, Java, JS.

The only time I use C++ is if the SDK is C++ oriented. For me bit twiddling, etc is easier to implement using structured assembler. Other people's abstractions often require more learning time than the time they save me. Then there is the debugging ... sigh!

Also, good luck getting any inconvenient laws enforced anymore.
Right, I meant the humor to be that folks to not use debug flags, with my naive presumption that they did this as an optimization, only for that not to really help.

Not if it was trained on that copyrighted code; the copyright "survives" the training process, legally-speaking, just as it does if you hear a song, and then output (even truly accidentally) the exact same song and claim it as your own.

If you can perfectly prove that no copyrighted code was used in training a model and that the model was not algorithmically designed to output that code, based on knowledge of the copyrighted code on the creator's part, but it outputs code identical to a copyrighted program, it could very likely not be infringement... but obviously that's a high bar to clear for a complex program.

If your model always outputs

> #!/bin/bash
> echo "hello world"

another programmer will likely not be able to claim copyright infringement on it. If it always outputs Adobe Photoshop, you're gonna need a very good lawyer, and a Truman-show-esque mountain of evidence on your side.
Rust is emerging as one of the best web programming languages out there.

Actix and Axum feel like Python's Flask.

Rust has decent Redis and connection pool libraries, but the SQL space needs more work. Diesel SQL is too ORM-y (I've never liked ORMs). While SQLx allows you to write "typechecked" SQL, it still has really annoying edge cases (WHERE IN clauses can't be typechecked, type bindings can get hairy, etc.)

I'm not very happy about the state of Rust's Elasticsearch libraries, either.

Rust probably needs a Rails/Django-like framework too for those that prefer a framework-oriented development lifecycle.

Rust also needs some observability frameworks. There are a few, but the choices are sparse.

I'd give Rust a 7.5/10 for web programming, and as far as the promise of the language goes, I'd give it an 11/10. Developing in Actix and Axum feels amazing. It's honestly better than Go and Python. The other pieces (database, API clients, etc.) will presumably get better in time.

And because of the way HTTP request flow logic is typically structured, 99.9% of the time you'll never hit Rust's borrow checker or have to worry about lifetimes. It's as if you've been given one of the best typed languages, best package managers, and nearly no tradeoffs. The server compiles down to a single static binary. It's multithreaded, and it's blindingly fast.

I'm picking Rust for every new web service I write these days.
Why not a Kafka pipeline?
I was under the, evidently naive, understanding that there were some shenanigans done in the libc to pick optimal code paths based on the architecture. This would obviously have a startup cost on the first run, but presumably the dynamic linking would work to this advantage by having it in a fast state for most calls?

Not sure where I got that idea, though. :(. Will have to look into that later.

That is defeatist nonsense. Sounding cynical and jaded can be confused with wisdom, but you're vastly overstating their power and influence. You would be surprised how much you as an individual can influence your senators and representatives just by calling them regularly.

In India, the Amazon managers are notorious for all bad practices e.g. forced PIP quota, hire to fire, demanding to work during off hours and on holidays. Now the concern is that these managers will go, join many companies and spread the same bad management practices across the industry.
>Yes, fire insurance has been heavily subsidized by the state.

No, it wasn't subsidized by the state. The state has actually made fire insurance more expensive for everyone - including the people who lost their homes.

>Separately, as convenient as it is to blame the state for the fire happening in the first place, the truth is just that wildfires are more common now, and are going to continue being more common, because of climate change.

What's actually convenient is blaming a series of predictable policy failures on "climate change" - something that cannot be held accountable - rather than the politicians who can be.
Actually I think caring for your children is one of the few times where it DOES make sense to set yourself on fire to keep them warm. I get the logic of needing room to get on one’s feet, but those kids still need care. Presumably their other parent is already sacrificing to pick up the slack.
More misleading is that it implies that all packages can be made 90% faster. This is one particular package.
Right, my humor there was that I'm assuming people specifically did non-debug flags for the build as an optimization. Only for them to still fall short.

And understood a little on -O3 possibly increasing code size. I had thought that was more of a concern for tight environments than for most systems? Of course, I'd have assumed that -march=native would be more impactful, but the post indicates otherwise.

I said in a top level, but it seems the allocator makes the biggest impact for this application? Would be interesting to see which applications should use different allocators. Would be amazing to see a system where the more likely optimal allocator was default for different applications, based on their typical allocation patterns.
> Usually some inscrutable thing involving Send/Sync.

What kind of queries are you writing? I never see SQLx emit anything like that. I always get back SQL errors.

Column mismatches are what I hit most in development, and they're pretty explicit.

The hairiest thing I see with SQLx is when I try to write custom type conversions for my own types to SQL fields. I sometimes have to delve into macros. But those errors are pretty self-explanatory too.
Maybe (2021) should be added to the title?
If you actually do this, just get Ubuntu to download the exact source package you want. In this case:

apt-get source jq

Then go into the package and recompile to your heart's content. You can even repackage it for distribution or archiving.

You'll get a result much closer to the upstream Ubuntu, as opposed to getting lots of weird errors and misalignments.

https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_97#_git-blame-infor...

Like the sibling comment, I didn't want to run all of GitLens just for it, but now that it's a built-in I've also been finding it quite useful.
Apologies, I did my first post on my phone, so was rather quick. I had found the repository and it is a good read. What I'd love to see is a comprehensive dive on the different options and a good general discussion on when each is superior.

I realize, of course, that this could just be overall optimal. Feels more likely that the allocation patterns of the application using it will impact which is the better allocator?
The issue is that the main comment in the thread complained about design, but gave little concrete information to discuss. If I come and say "Design matters, and HN's design sucks. Go and compare it to Reddit/whatever other site," you likely will have little idea of what my beef with HN is.
