Language Modeling with 3D Parallelism
You confused two parts. I am not saying that Rust has the same pointer deref, I’m saying that if you try to specify rust you will find parts that implicitly rely on clang or hardware default. In other words the behavior is unspecified.
It doesn't appear to be that way. If that 1% difference lies in how each country _fundamentally_ defines freedom, then I’d argue that’s more than enough to say Americans and Canadians are not alike. When the core values differ at such a foundational level, the rest of the cultural similarities become irrelevant.

I think this encourages "look it up" and "this layout is just a convention" when one convention is much more "natural" i.e. at a point x, a dual element df(x) acts on vectors y via df(x)(y) = < gradf(x), y>.

I wouldn't teach it this way, but I would definitely take the taylor expansion and define the grad vector as the one to make the best local linear approximation. This tells you that the grad lives in the same space, i.e. same dimensions.

Of course, you can always switch things around if you want to calculate things and put in transposes where they belong. But I find it insane to take the unnatural view point as standard, which I find a lot of papers do.

You act as if clang itself is random. Clang will do and handful of things none of them which will melt your computer.

A given implementation may choose to do anything. Clang and gcc on major operating systems do reasonable things.

Ok but I’m explaining why undefined is the right thing.

Sort of. Last time I looked, about a year ago, there were a bunch and all of the ones I looked at/tried seemed really awkward to use. I don’t love Qt either, but in C++ land it’s a pretty reliable way to slap together a simple UI that doesn’t require a whole lot of ceremony.
The original claim was "The US rarely looks into how other countries solve problems". That claim appears to be false.

Why does the US execution not match that of the countries it looks into? I think it's because talented people in the US disproportionately go into the private sector, leading to an incompetent public sector. American distrust of their government is arguably justified.

Pardon me, but this is racist and victim-blaming. The whole concept of a food desert is that healthy and nutritious food isn't even available in poor neighborhoods, only fast food and convenience stores. It has little to do with impulse control or education. If you're struggling to survive on a daily basis, the idea of traveling a few miles to shop for groceries is just a pipe dream if you don't have a car or rent money.

Except that the "you" is different on each case. You're offering options for the distributor. The quote is talking about options for the user, who has to deal with whatever the distributor landed on. From the point of view of the user at the point of need, a distributor having choices that could have made their lives easier if they'd been picked some time in the past is completely useless.

Tesla stock buyers are buying it for future promise, thus the value. The other car makers aren't innovating as much so there isn't any perceived future to pull forward and buy.

The disaster you are expecting is just your wishful thinking, if you look around the web, there is an alternate reality that says the direct opposite from you.
Didn't the NDP and Liberals recently pass universal government payer dental coverage in Canada?

It never made sense that dentistry somehow is considered a separate form of healthcare from the rest of your body.

Especially considering researchers are increasingly finding links between oral health and other conditions such as Alzheimer's heart disease. And that preventative dental care is so much cheaper and less invasive than treating major decay when care is delayed.
I'm entirely unsure how database migrations aren't breaking changes - you migrate to a new version of your schema, queries that use an older schema aren't going to work. Database server functions can be changed through migrations too.

Anti-folates (similarly with magnesium and a few other things) are closer to chemotherapy than anything else. They promote cancers because they promote nearly every human cell, and the logic behind removing them is that since cancer cells divide so comparatively rapidly they'll be selectively targeted by a lack of division-enabling nutrients. Most people absolutely shouldn't be restricting their folate intake.

If we take your claim to its logical conclusion (that we shouldn't add those vitamins and minerals to our foods because they might hurt a small percentage of people), the other side of the coin is that we should _remove_ extra vitamins and minerals. If we don't, we're just implicitly medicating a whole population rather than proactively medicating them. Peanuts hurt some people; let's ban them everywhere. End-stage kidney patients without full renal failure often can't tolerate salt or phosphorus; let's not salt any of our food and ban the sale of eggs and meats. Diabetics can't easily tolerate a high glycemic load; let's be extra safe and not use any sugars or alcohols.

Or...make reasonable population-level interventions and let people with special needs handle their own special needs. There are gluten-free breads, no-excess-folate flours, and all sorts of things on the market.

While we're talking about baseline levels of B vitamins (folate), did you know that most bakers are also dumping a rich, broad-spectrum source of most B vitamins and trace minerals into your bread? It's not just folate. They then let that yeast further multiply for 2hr+ just to bump the vitamin levels up (or, worse, add extra yeast at the start to speed up the baking cycle).
Hah well .gov timeouts are a growing hallmark of this administration.

Maybe I have a skewed vision of science because I work in industry but I picture it as efficient, individual work that is thrust (published) into a vast bureaucracy (peer review) that roots out flaws. I'm not sure what's broken about science.
Days ago I read an interview in which somebody from Isar said that they would be happy to get 30 seconds of flight time. They would learn a lot from the data. It's more or less what happened.
This example shows how it works for one trait, Debug, but what if you have a type that (might) implement multiple traits A, B, and/or C? It isn't clear to me if that is possible, unless the type implements all of those traits. What I'd like to do is have some base trait object and query it to see if it supports other interfaces, but also not have to have stub "I don't actually implement this" trait impls for the unsupported ones. A bit like how I might use dynamic_cast in c++.

(I believe I understand that in rust this has not historically been possible because rust doesn't have inheritance, so, there can be only one vtable for a type, rather than an chain like you might have in c++.)
Agree overall. Just want to point out that Vulkan works on Intel Haswell. I have a 2013 MacBook Air and a 2013 Mac Pro that both have Haswell. Linux kernel 6.14 actually includes an Haswell Vulkan update from Intel themselves.
Neoreaction – Undisciplining 2018
I'm aware of the history (I said "beloved of", not "invented by"). My point is that it's idiosyncratically American to think of decisions about municipal water treatment as being fundamentally questions of political liberty.
The reality is that nobody knows what the future will be. Not the person you're replying to, not the investors, not you, not me.

But my gut tells me it's more likely to be the speculative investors who are engaging in wishful thinking. I haven't seen any real reason to suspect otherwise, even before the events of the last couple of years.
It's not me who doesn't give the slides. Some people are just precious about their work. I personally don't think this type of attitude is great for a teaching professional.

The opposite is true. If there was no municipal water supply, then you would in theory have a freer market where there would be multiple suppliers and consumers could theoretically make this decision themselves- assuming it doesn't result in a natural monopoly.

Because there is a government monopoly on water, you need these protections to prevent government overreach, because this is the only way for the consumer to express their preferences.

> Glibc has great backwards compatibility

We're clearly not living in the same universe here.

glibc backward compatibility is horrible.

Every. Single. Time. I try to use an old binary on a modern distro, it bombs, usually with some incomprehensible error message with GLIBC in all caps in it.

And these days, you can't even link glibc statically, when you try it barks at you with vehemence.

As a matter of fact, as pointed out in the article, this particular shortcoming of glibc completely negates the work done by Linus to keep userland backward compatible at all cost.
How about packaging Linux apps as Windows apps so they can take advantage of the stability of the Win32 ABI? Is there a way to do this automatically, possibly using AI?
Sure, there are lots of examples of lossy migrations, even in databases.

That doesn't mean migrations in general aren't a good idea.

And it doesn't invalidate the notion of metadata for code in general and all the possibilities that opens up.

Eh, more the wider cultural effects of them. Vibe coding, everyone now creating kitchen sink apps that do everything under the sun, k8s everywhere, agents everywhere. It feels like a big part of the industry has lost all focus and is sprinting towards some endless vague panacea instead of focusing on solving specific well defined business problems.

It’s always been a bit like this but it feels particularly bad since AI hit mainstream coding tooling. Just my 2c :)
Why is it a good model to allow some software engineer "at a distance" to enforce whether some downstream user must drop every other priority and upgrade?

I agree that attitudes towards security are generally very poor, but breaking working infrastructure sounds like a crazy practice. Like any sensible system, a good/robust design should allow staged upgrades / hot reloading for anything but a very tiny core of critical functionality. Erlang/BEAM is a great example; it just requires software engineering to adopt a different mindset.
I'd add Wirth's Law: Software gets slower faster than hardware gets faster.
> Fluoridated drinking water, at the appropriate levels

Going to hijack this comment to ask about something I've always wondered: how robust are "appropriate" drinking levels to the different things you can reasonably expect people to do with the water? Not all water is simply drunk as is.

For example, I like to make beans in my slow cooker. This involves simmering them for 9 or 10 hours, periodically adding more water. In theory, this will increase the concentration of fluoride because the fluoride doesn't boil off while the water does. I assume, based on how much water I need to keep adding, this could double the fluoride concentration. Is that still appropriate levels? What about a cup that has been left out such that a lot of the water evaporates? That won't increase the amount of fluoride, but will increase its concentration.

I have to assume the "wiggle room" they build into the fluoridation rate handles these cases, but it's been hard to find any details on it since most of the results are about stuff like boiling water removing fluoride or turning it into poison fluorine gas and stuff.

Nevertheless, every time I see discussion where people talk about safe levels, I wonder how that works with all the things people do with water other than just drinking it as is.
Which is likely why it's clearly introduced as an anecdote and not a fact.
An other possible explanation is that the author's intention is to game interviews.
Not the same thing at all if atop runs as root and you are a user on that system that has no root access. With a well-prepared exploit you could achieve code execution as root. That's a bit more than a simple Denial of Service by filling up the disk.
I was thinking exactly the same thing, down to the circumcision thing. This whole discourse gives me the vibe of something the American society has randomly walked on and now is an "it has always been like this".
Yeah Blender might be a good model here.
For smaller businesses it seems to be its the safe option because its what everyone does.

I have even had it suggested that it might make selling a business or attracting investors harder if you used your own servers (not at the scale of having your own datacentre, just rented servers - smaller businesses still).

Another thing that comes up is that it might be more expensive but its a small fraction of operational expenses so no one really cares.
I'm all for having a cheap, high quality alternative to light a fire under the incumbents' asses, but I'm a little paranoid about the potential security aspect.

Are these cars network connected? Do they have cameras/microphones? Is the software auditable?

Imagine they become as popular as Teslas, and China decides it needs to cause some logistics chaos and flips the switch to turn each one into the equivalent of a large boulder blocking whatever lane it's currently in.

I'm not saying there _is_ such a switch, but we've already had a few scares about backdoored networking equipment.

I own an EV truck and I simply cannot comprehend the animus from “truck guys”. Here is a vehicle made in a U.S. factory, powered by 100% US energy, no foreign oil, with towing capacity, torque and top speed that puts legacy vehicles to shame.

But for reasons that only make sense inside their political bubble, these trucks are threats to their way of life.

Musk’s concept vehicles with nothing but flat screens that promise to take the burden of driving away from us entirely are never going to catch on with heartland Americans.

The source of fluoride is irrelevant, the effect of fluoride is cumulative. If you get 0.7mg/L from drinking water and then add toothpaste and other sources, you could easily surmount the level where harmful effects occur.

Parent never said that political parties were forbidden from having a religious affiliation. Yet, the 'Christian' in European 'Christian democracy' is not remotely comparable to the role of religion in the society of the USA.

The USA is overtly and intentionally Christian: American banknotes have "In God We Trust" emblazoned on one side, and schoolchildren (usually) recite an oath pledging allegiance to "one nation under God". Christian democracy, on the other hand, usually stands for a loosely defined, mildly conservative political ideology in a strictly secular system of governance.

I took a closer look; uv installs the inline required packages in it's cache directory `~/.cache/uv` (if they are not already there). So the packages will probably exist until the cache is cleared with for example `uv clear`.

It's not that the inline requirements make a new `.venv` directory or something, uv seems to link the packages to a central location and reuse them if already there.

Quite the opposite actually. In 2008-2010 most of the conversations I was involved with around crypto were around how dangerous fiat currency can be, and how valuable it is to have an algorithmically scarce resource that couldn't be printed by a central bank while still enabling digital transfers. The conversations were steeped in lack of trust of central banks, and it felt like a techno-splinter group of the Occupy movement. What conversations around crypto were you having during this time?

Mostly I was surprised by the indecision to modify the original bitcoin protocol to allow for more transaction throughput and the vast amount of energy that the bitcoin blockchain ending up consuming. Furthermore, while I understood the potential for fraud I was not expecting both the volume of fraudsters and the scope of some individual frauds.
