Is there a mature DNS implementation in Rust? If not, do Go implementations meet all the performance requirements?

Those aren't caveats at all. First, this is explicitly a vulnerability compromising SGX itself, so saying SGX has to be enabled is tautological. It's not a vulnerability attacking Intel processors generally, and it's not bein

It is standard in the sense that it's not uncommon. But about as frequently it's not a requirement. Many companies allow complete or partial vulnerability disclosure once resolution is complete. It's often on a case by case b

Rationality is already on holiday when you decide to steal a domain name at gunpoint.

Is this hyperbole?

That's not what sets Renaissance apart. Please don't add to the baseless speculation that gets tossed around about RenTech so often. Are you aware of just how many trading firms have access to phenomenally clean data? It drives me

You still seem to be misunderstanding me. I'm personally sympathetic. I'm saying most other people just don't care much. If they did, they wouldn't honk.

What about that comment made you believe it was referring to something you said specifically?

This is an excellent observation. The problem isn't hyperrationality per se; it's a lack of intellectual humility and self-awareness. The behavior you're talking about arises when someone looks at a problem, immediately wants

They're not exactly forthcoming, but it's not the hyperbolic mystery the mythos would have you believe. You can piece together what matters to them - in the abstract - by searching MathSciNet for papers published by their research

That's part of it, but HFT is also a pretty saturated field. It's typically not enough to be fast and physically near the exchange these days; that's a necessary but insufficient condition. A lot of nontrivial math and CS is

I agree with everything you're saying. All I'm saying is you won't find much sympathy. People really like honking, and it's probably not politically tenable to legislate that away.

With respect, what you're saying doesn't address the main thrust of the letter. The nine hour time zone difference between Dorsey and Twitter HQ is only one component of the "drivel", as you put it. Frankly it's jus

Your proposal also sounds good, and probably more reasonable. We could probably implement both on a small scale for a pilot study to see which has better outcomes.

Almost all education is forced. Realistically, the problem you're describing also extends to educating people. My proposal attempts to activate a level of empathy and self-preservation. A tolerable amount of trauma is induced in potent

Speaking as someone who lives in Manhattan, you won't get much sympathy with this complaint. Yes, honking can be annoying, and yes it's overused (especially by trigger happy taxis). But it's the only way to actually get someo

That's a good point. A lot of what you're saying is inevitable for most adolescents due to contemporaneous hormonal and neurological changes they're enduring. To combat that, we could induce accelerated experience using VR si

I have a two-pronged proposal which, though unrealistic, is technically feasible today and could probably work. 1. Force people seeking a driver's license to undergo classes, regardless of their prior self-education. In my opinion, a s

Yes, sorry, I was just intending to highlight non-associativity :) I agree it's not "non-deterministic".

I'm pretty skeptical the numbers are anywhere in that neighborhood. But if they are, that's a stunning success.

So it's inconsequential that we don't know one of the variables, because the one it's multiplied by is likewise unknown? It's materially different to have an X multiple of an NYC salary versus an X multiple of an averag

This is the third time this has been submitted in five days. If something isn't popular the first time, that's not an invitation to delete the submission and try again the next day.

Most of your comment also acutely describes the NYC Department of Education (DOE).

> When people talk about non-determinism of floating point, what they usually mean is non-associativity, that is (x+y)+z may not be exactly equal to x+(y+z). Good example of this, in Python 3: >>> (0.1 + 0.2) + 0.3 0

Thanks for the "elm dict" example. That's a really good one which actually does highlight practical differences between Google and DDG when I just tried it myself. Most of the time I see comments like this, people don't

That is not what Simons did to make Renaissance Technologies successful. Simons cultivated domain knowledge long before he started a hedge fund, because he had an interest in trading and gambling even as a professor. He also hired people wi
