NIO can be blocking or non-blocking. Indeed you can switch between the two on a single channel.

Run with the options to dump optimized code to a file. Look at what it’s actually generating for all the byte buffer calls and you’ll see it’s piss-takingly fast. Looking at the Java it shows up as five virtual calls and a bunch of bounds c

I mean, using Rust or Zig rather than typescript, go, Java or C# is often a premature optimization, depending on use case. Plenty of games where majority of code is C# or unrealscript. Most people I talk to are surprised that Java has monom

> A modern compiler will try to autovectorize your code, so you don't really know what the assembly will be. Looking at what the compiler actually did is an ancient tradition. I’ve even done it with Java. Seeing five virtual calls w

I’ve shipped games written entirely in assembly. I now work on a large service you have heard of. I graduated manga cum laude. I’m not smart enough to write systems in C or Zig that don’t have bugs. The question I ask myself is “would I wri

Everywhere is cooked, but some places are less cooked than others. See how China reacted to the oil shortage: they just cut their oil imports and carried on. Arguably, China prevented a total meltdown in oil-dependent countries (USA).

Elison has his own island - wont take much to subdue the rest of it. Thiel's setting up in Argentina. A US in revolt is a markedly worse place for them than places already set up for repression.

The US is cooked. China is the new economic and industrial super power. The US "free market" is actively blocking all the future tech that the US can't compete with, first cars, latest is robotic parts. The rich are just soak

Latitude and Longitude? By definition it’s not starting in radians. After that, pi is involved but that doesn’t mean you have to use radians, unless you define “anything that uses pi is radians”. The discussion TFA started was about progr

I don't think you read the cases. The Thaler one is about AI created art not code, and Thaler stated that the agent was "the sole creator of the work". The case got no further than that. Thaler said he had no involvement: o

The key question is, this: if the text was generated by an AI, is it automatically not copyrightable. I have heard contradictory claims. I have heard that if the code, generated by the AI, is the result of a back-and-forth with a human, the

Specifically working memory. If you can’t hold enough concepts in your head then you can’t see how they all relate in one giant theory.

For many people sure. There is also the path of “just build a game” with no distinction between the game and the engine. Super Mario 64 doesn’t have a game engine. For the first few months it was just “catch the bunny”.

>But if we could see the sequence of all the moves after the game (and we knew the value of pi), we could work out whether this was a game that likely used pi to determine its moves. The game that used pi is, in a sense, “watermarked”. W

Right. But Dropbox is the service provider here: the owner of the hardware. The value of DropBox is that they've got a completel solution, including the harddrives. Is there a market for a paid Dropbox client, to use your analogy?

Does anyone think a harness is something that can generate money? I’ve got my own harness. I use it in preference to any of the others. I even turned its tools into an MCP so Claude could use it. It vastly improved Claude’s iteration speed

Good friend is a criminal defense barrister in London. You can have non enforcement and stitch-ups in the same system. On the one hand, they just don’t care about regular policing. On the other, if you cross their path, or you “fit the desc

Good friend is a criminal defense barrister. Most polite thing I can say is that you are drawing incorrect conclusions from the data you have.

You’ve been drinking the propaganda again. Most cases don’t make it to court. The courts lean towards trusting the police. The police lean towards perjury.

Just think about it a bit more. You’ll get there. Specifically, think about the reaction you are having based on 1/ your perceived outcomes and 2/ their explanations for it. They seem pretty aligned to me, based on where you are d
