As usual, a bunch of people are commenting on Adderall not being medication but a performance enhancing drug and... In any other context these people are probably fine with marijuana legalization and libertarian-esque drug policy in general

> death doesn’t have any downsides The fact that most people try to avoid death by any means possible is a good indication it has downsides. Specifically, the fact that you can no longer go on living is a big downside of death in my mind

This seems like the thing I wish protocol buffers were, but learning from them and removing the warts. Very promising. Also, implementing in rust and typescript as the first languages was a smart choice

Any links to direct discussion of this (or sources)? All I can find is indirect evidence that they burned through vc money too fast

It says "the nation's largest broadband companies" but doesn't say which ones. Does anyone have more context here?

This is really cool, and actually I think LLMs would be a great fit: they can generate your constrained language from more freeform language input by the user. Might make it easier to get into, and you've done the hard work already by

What makes you think it isn't an actual memo?

Sure, but this kinda tool only works because of their monorepo, build system, deployment run tracking etc. Let's say they open sourced it, you'd have to basically adopt the entire google stack to make use of it

This is like the cartoonishly strawman version of this argument. Also the text file example is awful. Do you really want do deal with durability and parsing a flat file, etc? Is that really easier that using a simple database? I see these k

oh good, they can talk to each other there, and stay off the rest of the internet. Seems like a tidy solution!

A big addition that json is missing a distinction for, which Ron has is the notion that hashmap and record/struct type are different. Hashmaps, you don't necessarily know what all the keys are. Structs, you know the keys and what

I mean, you can, if there are no pointers. But then you still need to verify the layout when you reload it etc. Once you solve the various edge cases, this is basically what flatbuffers and capnproto are

Recently I've been playing around with MILP solvers and this sounds similar. Can anyone with some experience in these kinds of optimization problems give a summary of the similarities and differences between CP and MILP?

This is kind of an awkward issue for FSF, since the relevant parts of chrome are free software. You can fork chrome and keep the jpeg-xl implementation in and surf the web. But that doesn't matter, because the source being free isn&#x2

Like I said, it's something that requires an argument or evidence. It's not something that comes by definition. People seem to think arguing that something is true by definition is some airtight case. If your definition of superin

Right, but the point is that with the intellect you don't show up in that situation without a knife or a gun in the first place. A competent intelligent human foresees that being a bad situation, avoids it, and shows up armed or with b

Ah, ok my mistake. I was under the impression that Pulumi worked like CDK (except compiled to terraform) and wasn't imperative.

You can enter any symbol but not quickly unless you set up some hotkeys or something. There is a key on the keyboard for e. Whatever you have to do for a unicode set symbol, it's going to be harder than hitting the e key. And with rega

I don't really have a horse in the race here, but I'll note that SEC commissioners are appointed by the president, so it's not surprising that they have different opinions if they're appointed by different parties. Gary

The CFTC and the SEC are two different government agencies, and they legit disagree about what is a security and what is a regulated commodity with regards to crypto. The law is super unsettled here and both agencies are staking various cla
