The cypherpunks are still here, working hard everyday, but we’re a small group.

I’m not a doctor but I’m pretty sure ibuprofen is _not_ acetaminophen.

Cool! How is this project different from the tuning process in TVM?

I totally agree. That would be great. I think the problem with that is LLMs don’t know what they don’t know. It’s arguable they even “know” anything!

As a datahand user I can tell you that is indeed the case. But 99% of the time (likely more) I’m typing at home. Why deny yourself the pleasure of a nice typing experience the majority of the time?

And zcash would be better than Monero for privacy reasons.

Maybe you should run, then? It is a government of the people, as they say.

`Result` is just `Either` by another name, and the main idea is to use sum and product types as the result of a computation instead of throwing, which turns error handling into business as usual. The `Result` type and `Error` trait really a

Well now we’re just talking about personal preferences, then.

I’ve found rust to be an ML in C’s clothing. The main difference from other MLs is the lack of higher kinded types, so it’s difficult to express things like Functor, Monad, Arrow, etc

I’d be wary of doing any but the most obvious optimisations without profiling. This goes for humans or AI.

Anyone who has seen the movie Predator already knows this ;)

That and the ability to hold on to knowledge.

Yes. I prefer ‘snafu’ but there are a few, and you could always roll your own.

I think this is a problem of using the right abstractions. Rust gamedev is the Wild West, and frontier development incurs the frontier tax. You have to put a lot of work into making an abstraction, even before you know if it’s the right fit

Agreed, either you get bit by your choice early on and can’t ship, or you ship and get bit later when trying to maintain the puddle of guck you just shipped. If you don’t know how to do it, you don’t know how to do it. Learn how to do it.

I’m a rust-GPU maintainer and can say that shared types on host and GPU are definitely intended. We’ve mostly been focused on graphics, but are shifting efforts to more general compute. There’s a lot of work though, and we all have day jobs

What about that guy who got deported to El Salvador even though he was legally here and the court had also ordered he not be sent back to El Salvador for his own protection? I’m pretty sure the admin admitted it was a mistake then refused t

And why is that? I already don’t agree, but I’d love to hear your take.

Prototypal inheritance can be pretty awkward and complicated. It’s evident in that few young JS devs ever use it, and many don’t even know about it!

From the abstract it sounds a bit like https://brianmckenna.org/blog/type_annotation_cofree , which is a great read.

The one example I saw was a bottle in SF. It looks like individuals report trash in an area? I’m not sure why I would use this. Is this hooked up to anything else?

Funny how the republicans complain and campaign on all this stuff and when it gets worse on their watch it’s no longer an issue. “Gods work”. Rich.

I reflexively agree, but what other folks have blantantly switched like this that you know of?

This is known as "death by attrition". It's generally not a successful strategy.

The attitude comes from a point of analysis, and the argument that follows is that we can save by cutting spending in specific areas that we overspend in (military) and we could rake in lots more in taxes by making the rich _pay their fare
