Right. Pin is the canonical way to have objects that can't be moved, and it was invented in order to support objects with self-references (namely, futures). However, Pin's design is pretty hacky, being implemented purely 'i

True, but that tends to require a bunch of extra code, and adds complexity since now you have two different paths to test. Which is manageable, but definitely cuts against the goal of keeping the project “light”. (Of course, it depends on

The paper waits until page 2 to mention that their scheme would not help standard WebAssembly implementations at all: those implementations already eliminate all bounds checks using a virtual memory trick, so reducing the number of required

If it’s real, it’s from a small model. Meanwhile, I just tried asking ChatGPT 3.5 and 4 similar questions, and despite ChatGPT having plenty of alignment tuning, neither version had any objection to them. There’s no trick; the larger mode

Indeed. Though, Rust does have a way to mark a function such that any caller that implicitly discards its return value gets a compiler warning. This feature largely solves the problem you’re talking about. But it’s orthogonal to Rust’s b

I’m not sure it even demonstrates that. For comparison, C’s inability to prevent undefined behavior at compile time definitely is a fundamental weakness of the language. Yet C has its own tools that, like Miri, can detect most undefined b

You mean that Miri catches it at runtime, right? If so, that hardly demonstrates anything about the difficulty or lack thereof of fixing rustc’s type checker, since Miri is not a type checker and doesn’t know anything about “lifetimes” in

Google is hardly a good actor here. They just announced Gemini 1.5 along with a "technical report" [1] whose entire description of the model architecture is: "Gemini 1.5 Pro is a sparse mixture-of-expert (MoE) Transformer-ba

That recursive macro approach allows FOR_EACH to accept up to 4^N arguments (where N is the number of lines in the definition)… at the cost of making every use of FOR_EACH perform O(4^N) expansions, a fixed number regardless of the actual n

Interesting to see how much of it is basically the Photoshop clone tool. I bet these are going to be harder to catch in the future, as fraudsters start using AI infilling instead. Or clone tool plus img2img.

The paper itself goes into detail about why the US Constitution and other memorized texts are misclassified. It’s surprising but not a killer flaw, since in most contexts it would only apply to direct quotes of famous texts.
