I think a difference in magnitude turns into a difference in kind. There's lots of systems where the unreliability of the underlying parts is low enough that it can be a simple matter of retrying quickly once or twice (bit flips in ECC

In order to make this work, libc would have to: - Start some sort of async executor thread to service the io_uring requests/responses - Make it so every call to "normal" syscalls causes the calling thread to sleep until the r

I wonder how it performs against an NFS server with lots of files, especially one over a kinda-crappy connection. Putting an unreliable network service behind blocking POSIX syscalls is one of the main reasons NFS is a terrible design choic

People have been giving Siri a few years for a decade now. Siri used to run in a data center (and still does for older hardware and things like HomePods) and it has never supported compound queries. Siri needs to be taken out back and shot.

I firmly believe this is not the case. Putting more obstacles between me and the thing I’m trying to do, just trains my brain at rote performance of the task. It’s still “autopilot” as far as my brain is concerned. This could be anything: s

I think the aircraft being familiar makes it worse: if you're used to going through a certain motion to do a thing, it may be one of things your brain can do without really thinking about it much, which is where the danger comes in. I&

That function is returning a Vec<Token>, and so it knows the .collect() call needs to return a Vec<Token>, and so therefore the .map() function needs to return a Token. Therefore each match arm needs to return a Token too, so th

It's interesting though, because you don't really need to reverse engineer anything if the device has an in-tree Linux driver. You "just" need to port the Linux driver to your OS. This is certainly something an LLM can h

In my experience you just slap minikube or k3s on your dev machine, and treat it as any other environment. Argo, helm, kustomize, whatever can all work against a local single-node cluster just fine. It takes some effort to make sure your co

The point of my argument is not to say I’m vetting anything, but to say that there are tons of eyeballs on crates today, because of the fact that they are distributed as source and not a binary. It’s not a silver bullet but every little bit
