There's undefined behavior, which is quite well specified. What do you mean by unspecified behavior? Do you have an example?

In the USA, at least, it seems pet owners are liable for any harm their pets do.

If you put a brick on the accelerator of a car and hop out, you don't get to say "I wasn't even in the car when it hit the pedestrian".

With all due respect, that's all the more reason to put all the resources they can behind browser development, rather than scattering it across unrelated projects.

For what human leverage of AGI may look like, look at the relationship between a mother and a toddler. As you said: There's an infinite number of things a toddler may find worth doing, and they offload most of the execution to the moth

Well, because people are lazy. They already ask it for advice and it gives answers that they like. I already see teams using AI to put together development plans. If you assume super intelligence, Why wouldn't that expand? Especially w

Why would we argue if the machine is better at knowing what's worth doing? Why wouldn't we ask the machine to decide, and then do it?

It's not the syscalls. There were only 300,000 syscalls made. Entering and exiting the kernel takes 150 cycles on my (rather beefy) Ryzen machine, or about 50ns per call. Even assume it takes 1us per mode switch, which would be insane,

> Can you show us how an fsck would discover this bug but ZFS could never? I'd have to read closer to be certain, but if my understanding of it is correct, you'd have orphaned objects in the file system. The orphaned objects wo

Here's an example: https://www.illumos.org/issues/17734 . But it would not be discovered by a scrub because the hashes are valid. Scrubs check hashes, not structure. It would be discovered by a fsck because the str

Imagine a race condition that writes a file node where a directory node should be. You have a valid object with a valid checksum, but it's hooked into the wrong place in your data structure.

It's not hard, but it's sure a huge portion of the repeated boilerplate glue. Additionally, the data protocols are also fairly standardized in Plan 9; The typical format is tabular plain text with '%q'-verb quoting. Ther

How would you connect to Postgres in 4 lines of shell normally? How would you do it for a rest api? How about any other systems? For Plan 9, it's all the same, all using the same interfaces, with little library glue. Opening a window,

Typically, if you were writing your hypothetical sql client in rc shell, you'd implement an interface that looks something like: <>/mnt/sql/clone{ echo 'SELECT * from ...' >[1=0]

Got it, thanks for the poorly executed misdirection and misinformation.

I'm sorry that you are offended. How would you have phrased calling out an obvious, clumsy, and deliberate attempt to detail the conversation with obvious misdirection and mistruth?

Ah, so a painfully obvious attempt at moving goalposts and showering people with bullshit.

The goal of AI companies is to replace all intellectual labor. You can argue that they're going to fail, but it's very clear what the actual goal is.

Unboxed records are fine, but stack-allocated lists make me nervous. What happens when someone gives you 8 megs of headers, and you run out of stack? This code seems to put a 32k limit on it, but it's a manual check and error return. W
