Many seem a bit confused but I have only skimmed the comments. I don't understand the point of the thing described in the OP (I have not watched the talk, just skimmed the notes), myself. Linux kernels can EFI load themselves; if you w

It clearly wasn't good; the Altman-control system failed, and was replaced with not even the pretense of an Altman-control system. Sure, the rectification of names is an improvement in a sense; what is actually needed is a working Alt

The null CEO has a lot of value. If you could guarantee someone would be the null CEO, they'd be an instant hire for many enterprises. What you have to avoid is someone worse than the null CEO holding the position. I think Altman is wo

@dang why was this flagged off the front page? Isn't this a blatantly obvious abuse of the flagging system?

The only thing the horrible "Fediverse" ecosystem has going for it is the ability to not be at the mercy of unaccountable admins.

This ends up being a bet mostly about medical life extension, since drastically longer human lifespans are more likely than quantum computers going anywhere soon.

Equality can be philosophically troubling, but as a practical matter, what you care about is the indiscernibility of identicals, and if every property you use follows from a universal property, then equal up to isomorphism is just equal. So

There are people who create zero programming languages, people who create one programming language, and people who create too many programming languages to remember exactly how many. I suspect the second group is the least likely to create

You keep posting this link to vague alignment copium from decades ago; we've come a long way in cynicism since then.

Perelman's point is absolutely clear if you listen to him, he's disgusted by the way credit is apportioned in mathematics, doesn't think his contribution is any greater just because it was the last one, and wants no part of t

I never knew you shared my biggest gripe with C. I really wish this or an equivalent had made it into some C standard.

Sure, they'd be better off just using a good source of randomness to pick the lucky ones, because then they wouldn't be self-deluding about having special insight.

C isn't magic, and "systems programming language" is a Rust buzzword with little meaning. C is just the native language of Unix, and you keep needing to use it if and only if you keep wanting to run things on Unix. (The syste

I think you're having a strong emotional reaction to something unclear, which is outside the scope of what I'm willing to discuss further. Thanks for the comment chain, however, I do appreciate it.

Integrating things is 100% of a maintainer's job. As someone who wrote one topic, you don't have any insight into the arbitrarily many other topics that coincidentally were written at a similar time to yours; as the maintainer who

The dichotomy isn't between merging upstream changes into your branch vs. rebasing your branch on top of them. It's between doing one of those things and doing nothing, and doing nothing is the better (and easier!) option here. (W

Same. But there's a difference between a few separate things here: - assembling your own chaotic actual work into cogent commits using interactive rebase and friends (but not moving the base, e.g. git rebase -i --keep-base): good and n

What a disjointed writeup of a terrible idea. We only use git _because_ its history is a graph rather than a sequence, freeing us from the necessity to ever acquire locks on fellow humans. There's a reason git.git never does anything l

Companies mostly want it because it's a lot cheaper to do discovery in an arbitration, actually. Some kind of unfavorable precedent is extreme tail risk because no matter what you're almost certainly going to settle, that isn&#x27
