Or to bring it back to the original context... Reducing volatility would be reducing the impact of bad weather on your harvest, absorbing volatility is finding someone to cover your losses. (presumably by giving up some profits on the good

With all the attention on the link between compression and intelligence lately it is neat to have this example of how creating a encoding scheme naturally allows you to create new (likely) never before seen flags.

Thanks, that was insightful. Personally, I think the main legitimate use of the ticket pattern is when dealing with hardware. In which case your global hidden state is actually the physical world and can't be eliminated. Otherwise, I t

Pastimes are in fact incredibly valuable. And it's possible the motivations that led to the creation of this artifact wasn't just all about the end product.

Exactly right? Why would anyone expect a competent security outfit to tell the reporters anything?

I've been introducing rust to our embedded projects at work for the past few years and I can really empathize with this. The rust embedded ecosystem seems to have way too much focus on ownership and safe handling of peripherals. Exac

This notion that `git rebase -i` is some scary unusual thing is totally alien to me. Doing some minor cleanup on local history with rebase is a * basic* operation that I would have thought everyone would be using regularly.

They didn't copy any hold/hover states which is too bad, those are an integral part of a button IMO

It doesn't have to be mutually exclusive.

I find the "EMBEDDED MALWARE DESTROYED MONTHS OF WORK" issue opened on the jqwik repo to be baffling. Do they not use source control? And if not, what are they doing on Git Hub

Compare is broken, always produces "not found"

As a customer of DropBox since ~2011 I would say they've been an outstanding success. Maybe it's time we redefine what success means.

I don't think it's clearly established that 10,000 Shahed drones would actually be a threat to an aircraft carrier though. Remember that 10k drones can't just be conjured into the air all at once or act with perfect coordinat

Equally dogmatic take. A lot of scarcity is artificial.

I'm only partway through, but I believe one of the foundational blocks is that computation is fundamentally an interpretation of physical events, not something that can just exist by itself.

It's funny how often my brain gets redirected to German Shepard Dogs when reading conversations about AI. And I still can't remember what the other meaning of GSD is supposed to be without an Internet search.

Do these companies that are buying up all the supply actually need all that RAM right now ? Or are they buying it all up in anticipation of future need? If the latter, honestly this might be a case where some kind of regulation really ough

I think a lot of people (especially those who are only peripherally involved in development, like management) don't really consider performance regressions at all when thinking about how to get software to go faster. Meanwhile my exper

The old dragon Kalessin looked at him from one long, awful, golden eye. There were ages beyond ages in the depths of that eye; the morning of the world was deep in it. Though Arren did not look into it, he knew that it looked upo

When documentation is lacking, if the 3rd party library is source-available then reading the source code is my next step. This almost never fails me. Source code is usually understandable, generally speaking many brilliant people have put i

The article was essentially, "you should hate Anthropic" followed by a poorly explained timeline and some insubstantial arguments. If there was a point there the article did not make it easy to find.

I knew it couldn't be coincidence that a green cabbage looks exactly like a giant brussel sprout.

Thank you for articulating that.

I mean, you're asking for a fundamentally different directing for the language with different tradeoffs? Why are you commenting on an article about Rust? Not everyone wants the same tradeoffs that you do.

Look, included in the concepts the article discusses are features that people have been wanting for a very long time. Like, the ability to have multiple mut references to a struct as long as you access disjoint fields? That's amazing!!

TFA makes a strong argument that that isn't the case. I would say it's even the thesis of the article. Joann Fabrics was a healthy company with customer demand and zero debt and was basically assassinated by a leveraged buyout.
