Sounds neat but very minimal: > Node.js-style callback-based programming - everything happens in one efficient thread with no I/O blocking or unnecessary guest-side context switching. > No race conditions. Delegated IRQ handlin

Yup, that's the one. I have a hard copy on my shelf :)

The money printing started in 2020 under Trump's watch, so if we're going to blame U.S. presidents for inflating prices (?) then it follows that Biden gets credit for the recovery.

Mine was "How to Create Adventure Games" by Christopher Lampton (1986) at my municipal library. BASIC code that I entered into my dad's computer, which had QBASIC pre-installed.

I have to wonder if Ractor was inspired from The Diamond Age .

Yeah honestly I agree like it would be nice if they switched to WebRTC or UDP.

In modern times I seldom reach for a linked list... cache friendly data structures almost always win.

IPFS is all content-hash-addressed, so my guess is the IPFS service spirits the files away to a (hopefully) immutable store for the sake of sanity.

Yeah, panic/assert is only for Things That Really Shouldn’t Ever Fail, If They Do Our Base Assumptions Have Broken. whereas Error is for things that are unlikely to fail, like network/filesystem requests and recoverable logic bugs

> Rust does need a better way to do backlinks. You can do it with Rc, RefCell, and Weak, but it involves run-time borrow checks that should never fail. Those should be checked at compile time. It's not clear to me how rustc could

More broadly I think hallucination is inevitable in pure text models. We need model architectures incorporating a stream of real-world ground truth such as a live video feed or embodiment.

I think it's just code switching. Serious announcements warrant a more serious tone.

Sounds good until (for example) you find out the SSH client library wasn't queueing up packets ahead of time, but instead building them at send time, and a chaff packet takes less time to build than a real packet... so many ways to get

Singapore has covered walkways everywhere to beat the heat. Also I would love to see more covered bikeways.

I think CRDTs make sense for your usecase. Maintaining the shared state with REST calls that overwrite parts of server state is indeed brittle, and really only suitable for overwriting fields on flat data records. It also requires that you

So many different pairs are available. I like Asian corner brackets 「」and French guillemets « ». The angle brackets 〈〉 are popular in CS/math papers I think, though they might be confused with <>.

Like the sibling commenter I use Safari for almost everything. It just works and saves more battery than Chrome, plus there's Handoff between phone and laptop.

Yup, it's been super convenient to have iCloud sync all the keychain entries including wifi passwords, and quite secure and private. I also enable keychain sync on my Mac so I can create passwords there too.

Quantized 4/5-bit 8b models with medium-short context might be shippable. Still, it’s going to require a nice GPU for all that RAM. Plus you would have to support AMD—I would experiment with llama.cpp as it runs on many architectures.

My wild guess is that adjusting the shape before each step is not worth the speed hit. Uniform structures make GPUs go brrrrr

It is kind of crazy to look back on. In the future we might look forward to path tracing and more physically accurate renderers. (Or perhaps all the lighting will be hallucinated by AI...?)

If anything the West needs to to be a model and driver for a carbon neutral or negative lifestyle. We burned all the carbon in the first place, and developing countries will suffer the consequences disproportionately.
