Code is typically run many more times than it's compiled, so this is a perfectly good tradeoff to make.

> the rooted user could use employee only methods. Somewhere or other every bank has methods that set balances on accounts. Exposing these types of APIs in any way outside the bank ever would be gross negligence.

I had this idea during the pandemic 5 years ago now, and even did some of that work to figure out the variables I'd need to extract to make it work, but I never found the time/motivation to work on it for real. Really happy to se

The productive capacity for the goods we consume was built by average people. Billionaires only exist to skim off the top, and are not a required component of the process.

That's a misunderstanding. Compression algorithms are typically designed with a tunable state size paramter. The issue is if you have a large transfer that might have one side crash and resume, you need to have some way to persist th

It's pretty consistently been shown that this just can't provide low-enough latency for gamers to be comfortable with it. Every attempt at providing this has experience has failed. There's few games where this can even theo

They seem to be doing it through Igalia, which is a company based on specialized consulting for the Linux ecosystem, as opposed to hiring individual contractors. Your point still stands, but from my perspective this arrangement makes a lot

There's probably compact signatures extracted from the screenshots (color profiles, OCR, etc) which are then uploaded later in bulk. You don't need the full original image to be able to reliably uniquely identify the content if y

This would be more in-line with their strategy in other areas. Quietly massively improve technical capability and then utterly out-compete international competitors. They did this with solar, multicopters, are in progress with doing this

TrumpCoin and WLF are obvious grifts by parties associated with Trump and not actually part of government policy, and the president is not a rational actor trying to maintain a capable government. El Salvador's experiment was generally

And that is fine, because those upstream deps can locally ensure that those sections are correct without any risk that some unrelated code might mis-safely use them unsafely. There is an actual rigorous mathematical proof of this. You h

It would be easy to argue that would usually not maximize value in the long run, which is why they don't do that. However, some PE firms have been successfully doing similar practices.

That's exactly what I'm talking about with having pre-agreed relays. Those relays become preferred as a sticky default, especially with low-sophistication users that don't have organic onboarding paths away from the sticky d

Nostr doesn't even have the decoupling afforded by what we typically think of when we think of federated networks (email, activitypub, matrix). If you and another party aren't using the same relay, there is 0 way for you to inter

I don't think this is actually true. LLMs have an impressive amount of ability to do knowledge-transfer between domains, it only makes sense that that would also apply to programming languages, since the basic underlying concepts (fun

They built a system that can be trained on real-world data so it can output more real-world-like data. It's much more sophisticated than what you could hand-tune with Perlin noise and can have coherent terrain features across multip

I think it's pretty neat that, in implementing this for the game, you wrote a terrain gen mod lets you call out to a server running as a separate process. I can't believe nobody had the thought of doing that before (to my knowled

Claude Code is pretty good at Rust, but it works best if there's a pre-existing structure built by a human that it's operating within. Rust's error messages give rich context and are designed for humans, so it's able to
