So the main reason that doesn't work sometimes is how you are using Rust. For instance right now I'm leaning into the Rust Embassy ecosystem which is async based, the drivers need relatively deep integration with the embedded-hal-

Dude isn't a god. That said it's worth listening when he chimes in about C/C++ or optimisation as he has earned his respect when it comes to these fields. Will he crack AGI? Probably not. He didn't crack rockets either.

FWIW I live in a small semi-rural community in Krabi province, but it's an easy assumption to make. :) Also I did live in Bangkok for several years so I guess it's only a few years off temporally. If anything I feel the people are

All happiness is relative to expectation. I have lived in Thailand for the last ~8yrs. It's unfortunate not to see it on the list as I think generally speaking Thais are much happier than either US (where I travel a lot for work) or Au

Because they chose the wrong API (well more correctly created a new, worse one). In order to appease the various flavours they mixed and matched stuff from Tornado, gevent, etc. They should have stuck with the most seamless of those (gevent

Their edge will be population size. For China to remain less economically powerful than the US their standard of living must remain massively below that of the US. That is just unrealistic on a longer timescale.

I was in Belgrade aiport duty-free a few days ago and there was a Lelo stand in amongst the usual cosmetics. "Fly in Pleasure", definitely got a laugh out of me. Personally I think this is a good thing.

It's really not just ecological concerns and tbh the mining really isn't that big of a deal. It's entirely the processing that is the problem, ecologically sure but mostly technically. Without the Chinese machines that do the

If anything I could see the Chinese government moving to blocking import of Nvidia and AMD accelerators as time goes on. They can't afford to right now but you can bet they want to.

Yeah so this video shows exactly what I am talking about, the chair and other objects don't fall immediately, it takes ~15s for them to drop to the ground after the quench starts.

I wasn't going to click that link but now I have and honestly - that is mildly terrifying. I don't understand how such a dangerous machine can end up in a place that looks like that.

Yeah I would say all modern MRIs do. However one misconception is that loss of field strength is instantanous, it's not. The field strength drops off over about 15s or so as the helium boils off and the magnet losses superconducting pr

I think going as far as assembly up front is probably not worth it, also it's hard to keep people engaged at that level as it's difficult to make the computer do exciting things with assembler. However I strongly believe it's

Yes and no. There is plenty of 20 year old HW that has drivers in Linux but their continued existence in the tree is predicated on them being maintained.

It really depends on the origin of the system to be replaced. If it was never designed to be replaceable you are usually in for a bad time. Similarly if the drive to replace it comes from new folk that simply don't understand the origi

UltraEthernet predates the AI boom. I don't blame them for adding the AI buzzwords, for this to succeed people need to think about it in the same vein as IB/RoCE/etc and a lot of the decision makers are unfortunately not tech

It's the other way around, the Apple code is FOSS, Apache 2 to be specific. Presumably it's not as good right now but where it ends up depends entirely on Apple's motivation. When they are determined they can build very good
