Tell me more about your cucumber bed. We started some raised veggie beds this year and my wife is relying very heavily in ChatGPT and Claude for advice on how to deal with issues.
I don’t think there’s any hard work here. Other than the append-only part, all files would be either immutable (the Parquet parts) or maybe mutated by wholesale atomic replacement of the inode (the catalog, although the directory itself, via its contained filenames) could maybe do that. Readers might have to retry sometimes, but readers would neither have boy expect any write privileges.
> I will not ignore the evidence of my eyes and ears
The gesture he made matched the Nazi salute. With gusto. Eyes, ears plus the video confirm it. There's nowhere to hide on this one.
If you want to be charitable, you can argue that it wasn't the intent behind the gesture, but you can't argue he didn't actually do the gesture. We all can see that he did and so can you.
The main problem with being charitable in this case, is that he demonstrates on a near daily basis that he's undeserving of it.
> Only on reddit do people believe stupid shit like that. You should stop getting your information second hand. It's rotting your brain.
I don't know where the preoccupation with reddit comes from here, I don't do politics there. All you have to do is read Elon's twitter feed to confirm what I said is all true.
No, this is a stupid strawman. I don't think you are very serious.
Productivity is per-capita. Generally estimated via GDP per-capita.
At year 0 we have 500 people who want $2000 a month homes. In year 10 we have 750 people who want $2000 a month homes. Without changing the income distribution at all simple population increase will increase demand at every level, and now we have 250 additional people willing to pay $2000 but no increase in apartments formerly high enough quality to demand $2000, pushing $2000 rents down market.
Unconstitutional domestic spying in the US is a tale as old as time. Time and time again, the "patriots" can't help themselves. Gotta "protect the nation" by...uh...completely throwing out core constitutional rights. And they're surrounded by people who also have no problem with it.
I think most people don't remember that US postal inspectors used to primarily concern themselves with the distribution of erotica. And most people probably still don't wonder "gee, why is the USPS able to email me a picture of whatever I'm about to get in my mailbox?" Answer: the USPS stores a high resolution, high-dynamic-range image of every single piece of mail that passes through a high-speed sorting machine. And let's just say that you should try opening up some of those images in an image editor and mess with the curves/levels...
Hoover's FBI was spying on damn near anyone who had a remotely liberal viewpoint. If your parents are dead, submit a records request to the FBI to find out if they had an FBI file. Decent chance that if they were liberal, the FBI has something on them. Here's another fun fact: a huge number of FBI agents are Mormons. Our FBI is infested with Christian religious cultists. The idiots who show up on your doorstep to try and preach their religious values. Those people. They become FBI agents.
During the "occupy wallstreet" era state cops posted a photo on social media from inside the state's "command bunker", of a projector screen showing the output from a laptop displaying some sort of live status map or the like. I don't remember what the event was. It was a web page. In the browser bookmark bar was the facebook page for the city's "Occupy Wallstreet" facebook group along with another group that was clearly a liberal/progressive FB group. The state has a surprising number of violent white supremacists and curiously, none of those were in the browser bar...
Many years later, right around the time of the George Floyd protests - someone near a college campus snapped photos of university cops loading one of their patrol vehicles - a pickup truck - with bricks - in a back alley.
They came up with some laughable excuse that their sharp-eyed officers spotted a bunch of loose bricks in a sidewalk a full block from University property and decided to scoop them all up to do a favor for the city. Riiiiiiiiiiiiight....
Good point, I suppose conservative is the right word there. Its broader meaning has been a bit louder lately, so I didn’t think of it the right way there.
I want to have air circulate and use a $30 box fan with a non-hepa filter and to minimize power I have it on a timer so it’s on just a few hrs a day.
I also have some expensive hepa filters devices but they do not automatically turn on after a power outage. So I picked up some UPS power devices and to my disappointment, the devices drain the UPS system during significant power outages and subsequently fail to restart.
I’ve done that in my own tmux sessions. But due to the ungodly way tmux handles terminal sizing (which I don’t know how else they could) I assumed it was a me-problem.
Apple is a market leader in hardware, that’s why the article is using them as the company to beat.
The thing is, Apple doesn’t have to have the best in-house AI when all the apps from all the various players can run on their devices. We’ll have to see how the new Siri with Gemini goes this fall, but even with Siri still being behind, an iPhone user can use whatever AI they want. Apple desktops also seem to be the go-to for a ton of people looking to run things like Claude Code or local models.
So from a hardware perspective, OpenAI would have to come up with something so novel that it was worth not just being an app on an existing device. What can AI enable, that is worth being its own device, that consumers will actually buy and use? That’s the question OpenAI has to answer and they’ve yet to show what they think the answer is. It’s a very hard question and I don’t think ChatGPT is capable of providing an answer for them.
One investigative record showed DHS used administrative subpoenas to obtain “wire transfers from various financial institutions to and from” SEIU, one of the largest unions in the US. Investigators also requested that the Federal Reserve Bank of New York provide financial data from the Communications Workers of America, an international union, the records showed.
That doesn't sound at all like what you are describing.
Making things less bad for poor people isn't automatically communism. Use your words, be expressive. It doesn't have to have a one word label, but if you must, how about Zohranism?
> The overall goal with these kinds of projects should be to maintain parity between the citizenry and people in positions of power.
Oh for sure, I'm not disagreeing with the principle being discussed, I'm saying in our current social moment this feels like saying the floor trim on the bridge of the Titanic needs some paint.
The president has been convicted of 39 felonies and is (trying to?) sell advance access to his stock market manipulating tweets for a subscription.
Parity at this point feels like a joke. I'd settle for literally any consequences at all for someone in power right now.
Fil-C currently requires the whole program and its dependencies to use its ABI. The project also treats interoperability with ordinary C as a non-goal. A Rust bridge would have to preserve that whole-world guarantee rather than quietly punching a Yolo-shaped hole through it.
The post has some nice motivation, but I don't think this framing respects or captures the problem of cross-language and cross-runtime interop
After designing and implementing a garbage collector, it was impressed upon me that
- heap integrity is a GLOBAL property of a program. In C code (or Fil-C for that matter), pointers can point anywhere and have to be carefully managed
- type safety is a global property of a program, and so is memory safety. Combining Rust and C in the same program is a bit like compiling OCaml and TypeScript together -- the lowest common denominator is an untyped / unsafe program.
- bridging static and dynamic memory management is very difficult (e.g. the myriad tradeoffs of writing a GC in Rust)
i.e. the problem is fundamental and conceptually deep; it's not just "let's make a bridge between Fil-C and Rust". Or "the Fil-C project considered this feature out of scope, but we can put it back in".
I imagine it would be more like rethinking the whole thing, and it could move from "hard" to "impossible"
Funny. For me, instrumental music is just as distracting. If I don’t know the music I listen to well enough, my attention will go there and make any coding or reading impossible.
Agreed, too many people are willing to thought-terminate when the messenger doesn't fit their ideal. It's why propaganda groups signal boost bad faith or poor arguments (and argumentors), to inflict this sort of self-righteous ennui.
