Yes this happens, but it is very controversial. To quote from the article I linked above: > The question of whether the twentieth-century warming should be considered a target of model development or an emergent property is polarizing th

I will treat this as a genuine question. This is a complex topic. You could start by reading "The Art and Science of Climate Model Tuning". https://journals.ametsoc.org/view/journals/bams/98/3&#

I think you are the problem. Don't lie. Ever.

Your point that we can check prediction against reality is well taken, but honestly I think we got lucky. Knowing what we know, 50-year-old model shouldn't have been accurate. It didn't model aerosol, which we now know to be i

I am saying it is better to have control groups than not. Hopefully that is non-controversial.

Lung cancer risk was established with control group. We don't have control group for a planet so we use climate models. The article is about remembering that we use models because of lack of alternatives, not because they are as good a

LLVM has been negligent about compile time for a long time, but they are improving recently. See https://www.npopov.com/2020/05/10/Make-LLVM-fast-again.html for an example.

Neon predates N-API so it couldn't use N-API initially. That's why NAPI-RS was written. Neon now finished migrating to N-API.

People are doing that too. https://sixtyfps.io/ is basically a Qt clone in Rust, actually developed by previous Qt developers.

> How does the work get split when the work elements are non-uniformly difficult? This is handled automatically by rayon using work-stealing. Unbelievable, I know. Intel TBB does the same for C ecosystem by the way.

The main deficit here is package manager. People are not writing yet another cross-platform package managers for no reason. Providing a consistent cross-platform experience is a value add. With "use system package manager", you&#x

As I think this is a genuine question, I will answer accordingly. My build system of choice is CMake and my package system of choice is vcpkg. I will assume both are already setup. They are easy to setup on all of Windows/macOS/Li

I get the incredulity, but it is not wishful thinking. It really does work that way. Given a random Rust codebase, it is more likely than not it would parallelize with rayon, cleanly and trivially. Of course it is possible to write Rust in

Yes, but dimensionality reduction is a thing. IQ is just PCA. Intelligence is multidimensional, but it happens to have one large principal component. It could have been otherwise, but it is just not so, here on Earth with Homo sapiens.

High IQ seems to correlate with bipolar disorder, but that's about it. It's the only negative that correlates with intelligence I know about. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3705611/

I agree. I think, just as Flynn effect was due to environment and not eugenics, loss of Flynn effect reported here is due to environment and not dysgenics. On the other hand, if you take Flynn effect seriously, you also should take loss of

I don't think that matters a lot, since outcome is mostly nature not nurture. Good nurture improves your relationship with children and that's about it.

We know selection is against intelligence. We see it in data, for example from Iceland. Selection against variants in the genome associated with educational attainment: https://www.pnas.org/content/114/5/E72

The article tries to discredit IQ hard without saying things that are outright false, but for that reason had to admit IQ's reliability and validity. > Correlation is 80% between test and retest, meaning you being you explains less

I disagree about dependency management. Let's say, to avoid reinventing the wheel, I decided to use GLib for cross-platform threading. How do I add GLib as a dependency to my C project? Now compare it to adding Tokio as a dependency to

I see. I wonder where Rust's std is using libc on Windows. I know for a fact filesystem portion of std doesn't call libc at all on Windows.

For this project, you'd want The Linux Programming Interface. Information here: https://man7.org/tlpi/

No, it means there will be three binaries instead of two. Note that statically linked musl binaries run fine on glibc Linux, so you can just distribute musl binaries. That works right now. In the future, you will just distribute Rustix bina

Note that macOS syscall interface is specifically unstable so Rust needs POSIX/libc path anyway.
989.
by sanxiyn 5y ago
It was mostly to save time. You need libc path to support macOS anyway, and by using libc you can share most code between macOS and Linux (and BSDs). Once that is done, I think Linux-only syscall path was not justified then. Now I think Rus

> Instead, Rust's std currently goes through libc Are you sure about this? Rust's std's File::open calls CreateFile on Windows, not libc open. Isn't CreateFile correct Kernel32.dll API to call? https://gith
