You've just used a personal attack to shout down someone who disagrees in good faith over a distinction you simultaneously describe in your own words as "something you could achieve other ways" (yeah, more than a little bit)

It's cool stuff, but I think mostly in an aspirational way right now. The tired cliche hit on the tired cliche claim will be "but sqlite is in distribution" which will miss the point, that objection dissolves at the precise p

The privileged path is already there. `/usr/bin/env` is no different from `/bin/bash`, `/bin/sh`, or any other ELF artifact at a known place. The argument is made, the argument is spurious. It is made in t

You have the right idea but the wrong specifics. The boundary you're alluding to isn't the kernel/userspace boundary, it's the `libc` boundary, which is admittedly privileged by convention if not by Ring 0. On most Linux

The correct fix is to store the metadata outside the CAS, in for example, the loader, which can trivially delegate to another loader (does on my machine now). bazel's wrong solution is $ORIGIN, Nix's wrong solution is "floati

It's probably not quite that dramatic yet, though it seems possible it will get there, maybe even soon. There's no structural reason to expect acceleration any more or less than an asymptotic behavior (if even that, acceleration i

Seems like a breakdown on the incentives / imperatives in the field? I hope that's not an over bold guess from a non-mathematician. Couldn't people in principle continue to study a problem that's only been shown to break

I can recommend without reservation the book by Simon Singh, at least for a lay audience (don't know how an expert would experience it). It's understandably the natural place to get the dramatic tension from what at least purports

I'll contend that any Rust build involving Cargo is bloated and slow. `rustc` is impressively slow on a translation unit basis, and Cargo is basically a build recursion bingo card. Throw in about 900 micro point releases in flight at a

There are low-insensity regimes where it's all Python or whatever, and if you're in one, great. When you're dealing with multiple platforms, or hardware accelerators, or mostly all of economically relevant shit in the AI era

You can mad customize it if you're willing to set up like, oh my pi or whatever. I didn't quite get it tuned up enough to be a daily driver but I'm basically sure it can be hotrodded however you want. It comes out of the box

When you net out across benchmarks and firsthand reviews it seems like it's maybe a little behind. There seems to be a consensus it's token hungry and a little slower. So maybe it's a point release behind. That's weeks m
