Before using realloc, you have to do this:

void *sane_realloc(void *ptr, size_t size)
{
if (ptr == 0) {
return malloc(size);
} else if (size == 0) {
free(ptr);
return 0;
} else {
return realloc(ptr, size);
}
}

ISO C realloc has braindamaged corner cases. Some implementations behave like the above, in which case you can just have #define sane_realloc realloc on those targets.

With the above you can initialize a vector to null, with size zero, and use nothing but realloc for the entire lifetime management: growing it from zero to nonzero size allocates it, shrinking down to zero frees it.

malloc(0) doesn't necessarily return null; it can return some non-null pointer that can be passed to free. We can get such a thing if we call sane_realloc(0, 0), and can avoid that if we change the malloc line to:

return size ? malloc(size) : 0;
You're saying they advocated a policy that pre-emptively and specifically banned Anduril from posting in the jobs section of their forum before they posted a single thing? There's no evidence that that's justified or that the top level poster believed that. And it still wouldn't change that their swipe at corporate advertising was nonsense.

Maybe they advocate for removing the job board entirely? They didn't say that though, even when forrestthewoods specifically mentioned it. Instead they moved the goal posts.
It's interesting how similar the Trump plan is to the one Buffett suggests. Clearly it trades simplicity of implementation for flexibility. It seems to me like there are two major differences: doesn't incentivize exporters as much, since they don't receive ICs; and punishes imports from some countries more than others vs. all having the same IC market price applied.

Also interesting to update some of the numbers from the doc. Buffett mentions the $2.5t net foreign ownership vs. $12t in total US stocks in 2003; the values are now $26t vs. $62t.
The government pays to get good universities which attract smart foreign who come to the US to study on these universities.

Maybe the government should appreciate them not the other way around.

With more than 10 years of software development experience, I have developed a strong foundation in cyber-security, web development, machine learning, and cryptocurrency/blockchain. My background in Astronomy and Astrophysics (H. BSc and MSc) has provided me with strong analytical, mathematical, programming, and communication skills.

In the cyber-security domain, I have spent four years mastering Golang, PostgreSQL, Grafana, and GitHub Actions. At Arctic Wolf, I was a team lead for the past two years, where I managed five developers. I guided the team on a modularization project of our end-point Agent, and where I managed the biannual release cycle of our software. My back-end web development experience spans five years, where I have worked with Node.js/PHP/Golang, MySQL/PostgreSQL, Redis, RabbitMQ, and Docker/Docker-Compose. I also have more than a decade of experience in scientific programming, using FORTRAN, C/C++, Python and Bash.

Some of the work I am most proud of includes the parallelization of the SWIFT numerical integrator, a ML document classifier for OCR text, my contributions to the Bitcoin code base, and my entry in the 2016 Halite AI Challenge where I ranked in the top 3%.

Outside of my professional career, I am passionate about pushing the boundaries of my personal projects. Currently, I am building a high-altitude balloon equipped with a Raspberry Pi and an Arduino. I also enjoy crafting rogue-like video games, blending creativity with interesting game mechanics. For a glimpse of my work, visit: github.com/ccapo

>She wanted to let the disabled starve or beg on street corners so she'd have a tiny fraction more wealth

>She opposed self-sacrifice but she wasn’t against charity. She supported it when it came from a genuine personal desire to help others (as opposed to a moral duty).

These do not seem like contradictory statements. They are just different ways of phrasing the same concept: There is no moral duty to help others, and if people can't get somebody to desire to help them, they deserve to die.
Being paid what you're owed doesn't necessitate gratitude.
You're also going to have to take into account whether it's compelling for you, considering the non-zero risk of devoting a lot of time to businesses with limited product-market fit. That's obviously less risky if you're sticking with markets you know well, or if you end up with a massive portfolio of products so you can switch to pitching something else as soon as you see the customer's eyes roll...

There's an adverse selection problem where the businesses that aren't market ready are the ones most likely to be intrigued by the idea of someone who isn't an employee and doesn't cost anything doing their sales for them.

I wasn’t talking about LLMs, I was talking about human artists.

With the LLM it would be nothing to do with likeness, it would be to do with the copyright in the image, the film, video or photograph. The image captures the likeness but the infringement would not be around the likeness.
Authoritarian countries don't have to care whats best for their country.

So many arguing that "copyright shouldn't be a thing" etc., ad nauseam, which is a fine philosophical debate. But it's also the law. And that means ChatGPT et. al. also have to follow the law.

I’m not the OP but DSQL has such limited Postgres compatibility that it is very unlikely to be compatible.
I think that is a uselessly reductive interpretation of what secure boot is because you could apply the same logic to any security technology. Why should we allow login passwords or user permissions or disk encryption, since those could be used as lock-out technologies by manufacturers, if they just ship them with defaults you can't control?

Manufacturers don't need any user-facing standardized controls to implement lockouts. So the possibility of a feature being used as a lockout shouldn't be a justification for taking away the option of having a user-controlled security feature. Taking it away from users isn't going to stop manufacturers from doing it anyway with proprietary technologies instead.

A huge difference the 2025 crisis is done by 1 person over a 2 month span, it was entirely predictable with even a modicum of economic literacy, and entirely avoidable.

Very detailed effort. Predicting future is very very hard. My gut feeling however says that none of this is happening. You cannot put LLMs into law and insurance and I don't see that happening with current foundations (token probabilities) of AI let alone AGI.

By law and insurance - I mean hire an insurance agent or a lawyer. Give them your situation. There's almost no chance that such a professional would come wrong about any conclusions/recommendations based on the information you provide.

I don't have that confidence in LLMs for that industries. Yet. Or even in a decade.
True, but then you're not really shipping nothing in return. You're shipping protection and software services in return.

Contrast with your original question:

Most people call that theft or, at best, gifts.
Might have to look at specific lib implementations, but I'd guess that mostly gpu calls from python are actually happening in c++ land. And internally a lib might be using synchronize calls where needed.
That's the same argument as CAPTCHA's - as far as I know there are no bots protesting them making their lives harder, but as a human - my life is much harder than it needs to be because things need me to prove I'm a human.

Clean for data ingestion usually means complicated for data creation - optimizing for the advertisers has material cash value downstream, but customers are upstream, and making it harder is material too.

It’s not nothing in return. That’s pretty much impossible, unless it’s pure charity.

Countries with a trade surplus are buying foreign investments with their exports. That’s not necessarily a bad thing - more foreign investment can be useful if it’s invested in something productive, and it diversifies risk. But if foreign investors get spooked, it can result in a financial collapse, like happened during the Asian financial crisis.
Counter perspective: you deflect instead of answering direct questions, which is more like talking at people instead of having dialogue.

Your argument circles back to the posters point. Knowing which rule you can break at a specific point in time. Why are you being so anal about it?
Rayiner of 10 years ago started his arguments from axioms other than "the Republican Party is correct" as he does now. I miss old Rayiner. His arguments against the Democratic position on e.g. Citizens United and Bush v. Gore were persuasive back then. Nowadays virtually nothing he says is persuasive, because it's incredibly obvious that he's starting from the position that the Republican Party is correct and working backwards from there.

(He's also getting about as close as you can get to the "out-and-out racism" line as you can get without maybe technically crossing it. Though I think he did cross it when it comes to Irish Catholics.)
Here's the best explanation I've found: https://x.com/BigJohn043/status/1907901081209766379

It's a very good analysis. However, it does not explain why the administration used the formula they did in establishing the rates per country and why they used a list of TLDs instead of actual countries, leading them to impose tariffs on an island inhabited only by penguins.

The Mathematics of Crochet
The Wozniak method was how I used to write 6502 assembler programs in high school since I didn’t have the money to buy a proper assembler. I wrote everything out longhand on graph paper in three columns. Addresses on the left, a space for the code in the middle and the assembler opcodes on the right, then I’d go through and fill in all the hex codes for what I’d written. When you work like that, it really focuses the mind because there’s not much margin for error and making a big change in logic requires a lot of manual effort.
> Or a team loses that would have won because of said penalty and does not go to the world championship.

What if they lost the bet because they missed a goal because they slipped on the ice? What if they missed the goal because they blocked it? Taking a strategic penalty isn't _cheating_, it's acting within the rules of the game. The rules are _if_ you take such an action, _then_ the following consequence occurs.

It's sort of dependent on the game and the penalty, though, what the norms are. In soccer, basketball, hockey and football, strategic fouls/penalties happen all the time to prevent scoring opportunities -- holding, etc. That's not considered cheating, it's just part of the game, you trade a sure goal for a penalty.

There _are_ some actions that are considered cheating though -- think inflategate in the NFL, or stealing signs with cameras in baseball. Stuff that isn't generally caught and penalized in the game -- that's the kind of thing that most players won't do, even at the top level.
Skeema will always be specific to MySQL/MariaDB, but I hope to eventually release a separate tool which is more generic and modular. That's still a long while away though.

Free speech in the US is about not having consequences for what you are saying. In particular not having consequences from the government. Therefor you can only say that it is a legitimate consequence if you disregard free speech. Free speech in the US is about being able to be an asshole to 10%, 50% or 90% of the population without having to be responsible for what that part of the population does. And even more so what they do with the government. As such if you believe in free speech the government's actions stand on their own. What you actually don't get to say is that it is a consequence. Because that is what free speech in the US is supposed to prevent. Consequences from the government.

In many countries in Europe we have hate speech and defamation laws, we don't have at-will employment and many of our universities are public. This means there is less freedom to make others upset, questioning someone's character, firing them and ways to affect our education. This is by definition illiberal. (Worse or not is an open question). In Europe we can't say that "I might have offended 50% of the population, but sending me to prison is worse" because our laws says it isn't. In the US you can.

Does US law also say that the government can do all kinds of things, including pardoning criminals? Yes, but it still goes against the credibility of free speech in the US. One of the things the US still had over other countries.
The government is not a reasoning individual.

There are many explanations why that goal might be pursued (whether rightly or wrongly, intentionally or unintentionally).

One good explanation, though, is usually that one or more groups of one or more actors who have power in the system find certain actions and/or decisions to have the systemic effect of benefiting them, regardless of whether the governed (or the system itself — institutionalism) benefit.

I won't go so far as to claim that we are in a Manchurian Candidate scenario, but I also cannot exclude that possibility.
maybe it’s time we make some new lore.
I think it's an interesting approach. With, yes, caveats as people have pointed out, but there are caveats to everything, and this approach removes a huge barrier to 'try them and see'. If you want to talk specifics, contact info is in my profile.
Right now the amount of energy it takes to extract every gallon of oil from the ground is creeping up decade by decade. So you end up having to consume your own supply to make it fit for consumers.

I can see a day where solar powered refineries exist. Either under their own power or by being grid-tied.

But there will come a time when it’s just too expensive to pull it up from many places and we end up with dozens of wells and optimize cracking for petrochemicals other than fuel.
> what else is AI but a tool for taking other people's work and reassembling it into a product for you

Well, what I'd like it to be is a tool for generating what I've asked it for, which has nothing to do with other people's work.

I've been asking for video game sprites/avatars, for instance. It's presumably trained on lots of images of video games, but I'm not trying to rip those off. I want generic images.

> we go to AI because we want to avoid paying a human.

No, I go to AI because I can't imagine the nightmare of collaborating with humans to generate hundreds of avatars per day. And I rely on them being generated very quickly. And so on.
well, see, if you just hand wave away the really difficult part, and ignore the other really difficult thing (we have a perfect track record over 40+ years of users being terrible at sysadmin of their own computers), then this local first thing is super easy.
