Because the information leaked to the public 2 days before. The moment that happened, the information became public, and then it wasn’t insider trading anymore.

Who in the left aims for equality of outcome? The only ppl I see aim for that are republicans that don’t know the difference.

Apple only really had two actions, both bad for Epic. They probably prepared responses and PR campaigns against both.

Not really. If it’s my damn fridge, and it comes with an OS, I’d like to install whatever software I want on it, not just buy overpriced crap through the manufacturers insolence-store.

I don’t agree. The C ABI is specified in a spec that Linux adopts (eg the x86-psabi), and it is what allows all software using this abi (from assembly to C to Rust) to eg Interface with each other. Linux could write an ABI spec for Rust on

I guess they mean ABI breaking changes, like enum Lay-out optimizations, etc. (not “language feature” breaking changes).

Two issues with the post: - An ABI is not a PL feature, but a platform feature, I.e., it is not that Rust does not have a stable ABI, but that eg Linux does not have a stable ABI for Rust (it has one for C and you can use this ABI from Rust

The state of the art is Idris, which has a sound, decidable, and extremely powerful type system. Most state of the art mainstream languages like Rust have sound but undecidable type systems. Many older languages with ad-hoc type systems are

I have a 10 line shell script as a Daemon syncing my notes to a git repo. I can use any editor anywhere - well except on my iPhone. There I just use apple notes for note taking, and sync anything important in some other device. I thought th

Because there is more poor ppl than rich ppl, and poor ppl can buy stonks at 1$, but they can’t buy stonks at 1000$. So if some idiot says that stonk X is hot at 1$, the amount of money that is available to buy that stonk and pump it’s pric

Apple stopped shipping updates to PPC systems after the 2 year transition was over last time. So if you buy today, you’ll need a new system in less than 3 years

Fuly agree - TL;DR pick the right benchmark. If you are doing AI the Top500,is meaningless and if you are doing classical HPC these ExaFlop int8 supercomputers are meaningless

I reimplemented one benchmark using TF and the speed up wasn’t the 10x or so hey we’re claiming, but more like 1x..

Undefined behavior is memory safety; at least from Rust POV. A program with UB is not memory safe because the compiler makes no guarantees about the behaviors of those programs.

Your claim that “as” being used is incompatible with it being unidiomatic is false. The docs, the reference, and the RFCs all regards “as” as a mistake that should not be used, and _many_ features have been introduced over the years to redu

The main reason behind the lack of EU successful startups is that they can’t attract talent because they can’t pay employees in stock options which means that when one happens to succeed only few people get rich, instead of what happens in

Their half-size model would need to be flying twice as fast for the Reynolds number to remain constant with varying length or diameter. This changes the Mach number. So no, in general, you can’t build and test a smaller model and transfer t

Why are they using three engines instead of just one? Looks like a maintenance nightmare.

AFAIK this is still a no no for transonic wings at Airbus and Boeing. I am interested in knowing what they are using as well.

The stock price only reflects the supply and demand of a company’s stock. A lot of people want to have nvidias and Tesla stock, so their price is higher. The problem is all those people writing financial pornography about the stock market.

Binaries need to target a minimum subset, but can use run time feature detection to query differences. If a binary does that, the OS can just not migrate that binary across cores.

This claim is wrong. It’s not about sabotaging competitors, it’s about being afraid that your competitors would steal your IP they gives you an advantage. Every Nvidia and Intel competitor (AMD) is probably already reverse engineering their

This has only happened on Linux for commodity hardware. But Nvidia and others (hpc interconnects, routers,...) usually ship their own proprietary drivers, or even Linux forks.

I briefly tried Futhark for a couple of weeks but it feels like wishful thinking. Writing efficient GPU programs is all about modeling the hardware memory hierarchy in your algorithms, and using it efficiently, eg by controlling the memory

I was just going to mention numpy, or.. libc. Sure, if AMD hardware is much better than Intels, an unoptimized libc might run better there. That’s not the point. The point is that a libc optimized for AMD could run much better than what it

Rust has singly linked, double linked ( in its minimal std library) and intrusive linked lists - all with APIs that guarantee a lack of memory errors and data races at compiler. I don’t know any good kernel developer that wouldn’t like thos

Watch out with doing more complicated searches like extending those to a date range - they get people “banned” from using google search.
