The set of meaningful sounds (phonemes) is pretty conservative though. They can be rendered very differently (and that's what we call "accent" in native speakers), but it's like moving a densely connected graph around in

I don't understand what you mean by "bootstrapping" in this context. If you can get your phone or computer randomly inspected and copied on the street, and then thrown in jail or executed for trying to avoid surveillance, the

This feels a bit redundant. If you were in a country taken over by dictators or terrorists, those dictators or terrorists won't hesitate to deploy a mandatory surveillance regime (see: Xinjiang), they don't need a leg up from the

The digital signature thing is an extension of the overall document culture prevalent at least in Germany and Eastern Europe (or maybe continental Europe overall?). From what I saw, their legal and bureaucratic systems are geared to try to

The main issue is that there is no consensus yet on how the API should look like. Considering Rust's backward and forward compatibility promises, committing to an API is an extremely serious step, all the more difficult when it's

There are probably hundreds to thousands of protesters protesting for different causes in London alone every weekend. CCTV tracking of protesters is just not happening, it's absolutely unrealistic. Besides, you don't need street C

The CCTV meme is completely disconnected from reality. There are plenty of CCTV cameras around, but they aren't connected in any way, most of them are private, and in reality the police mostly can't be bothered to try and access t

The West does not. Major R&D effort went into laser based SHORAD that is basically free to fire, with units being already deployed. Besides that, good old C-RAM would take those out no problem.

It's interesting how public discourse has those blind spots, with people talking about autonomous machines killing people as if it's some danger looming on the horizon. They are already here and have been around for decades, we ju

The second link is .noaa.gov, what do you think the last A in NOAA or .gov mean? Where do they get their funding from? This kind of doomerism is not only counterproductive, it's also just counterfactual.

I doubt that it's strictly true seeing how quickly Ukraine was replacing their transformers after Russia deliberately targeted them. As far as I can tell it was a strain on the global supply, but evidently not insurmountable.

Rust futures don't have stacks, all local variables get translated into struct fields, so suspending execution on an awake point is trivial, you just start executing another future. It also means there is no need for a runtime for a fu
