Reminds me somewhat of Vulkan. I think the trend of making the actual specification of something lower level and less convenient is rather logical. Why burden implements with a load of convenience functions when that could be left up to lib

Performance and size can easily be added to any specification, maintainability is not a problem if you never have to maintain it, UI/UX are design issues not code issues. If you specify a UI, it will have the UX you want. We can alread

import Mathlib def Goldbach := ∀ x : ℕ, Even x → x > 2 → ∃ (y z: ℕ), Nat.Prime y ∧ Nat.Prime z ∧ x = y + z A short specification for the proof of the Goldbach conjecture in Lean. Much harder to implement though. Implementation

Just use RSS at that point. I don't see the value of encrypting everything, like people are gonna be spying on your random static blog entries.

If you are interested in multi-byte access to GCed arrays, something similar can already be accomplished. You can hold the array data in Wasm linear memory, then have an object that wraps a pointer to it, and using JS code, associate a fina

Describing it as a market is not entirely correct. The clothes these people wear are garbage. As a species, we produce more clothes than we could ever wear. I am reminded of a story of a charity that accepted clothing donations for the vict

Skill is your ability to achieve your objectives, taste is the ability to differentiate good from bad objectives.

That was because you could make money by turning old things into new things. Not so with garbage disposal, a service for which you almost always have to pay.

Neither can most planes given the cockpit is sealed and locked. I suppose one could strategically try to take it down over a populated area, but that doesn't really seem reliable. The truth of the matter is that people can smuggle bomb

So if a suicide bomber can drink explosives, they will be fine. As long as it's not poisonous within a few hours, should be no issue.

Are we to worry about train terrorism also? Shop terrorism? A person might bring a bomb to any crowded space, it simply is not practical to check all of them.

What's interesting about this is that a human would hypothetically produce a similar error, but in practice would reject the question as beyond their means. I'd assume something about supervised learning makes the models overestim

Social media apps do not compete in terms of code quality, but user-capture. People go to X because their friends are on X or there is someone on X they want to follow. The sole valuable aspect of any social media company is how many people

RSS is signed because it's served over HTTPS which involves an SSL certificate exchange. It is also real time. You fetch the feed and get the most up to date content on it. You can host any XML document you want on your website and the

AT Proto seems very overengineered. We already have websites with RSS feeds, which more or less covers the publishing end in a way far more distributed and reliable than what AT offers. Then all you need is a kind of indexer to provide peop

I think it depends what you mean by language. There is a kind of symbolic logic that happens in the brain, and as a programmer I might liken it to a programming language, but the biological term is defined differently. Language, as far as i

Would such a license fall under the definition of free software? Difficult to say. Counter-proposition: a license which permits training if the model is fully open.

The essay mentions the father being gay, reasonable to assume he said it. Unless you think he was bisexual, but I'm willing to bet you don't actually think that and this is just you being silly and you do actually think he's

How do you know the father never said he was gay? He may well have said that to the man he enjoyed dating as opposed to the wife whom he clearly didn't like very much.
