The copyleft nature was essential to good driver support. It set it up such that for corporations making drivers the easiest path was to get the driver upstreamed. There was a bunch of hoops they could have gone through to avoid that (as

C10k is basically just impractical without reactive / async / coroutines / that style. But with it it's extremely achievable on even midrange consumer hardware depending on the specific workload.

Tail-recursive functions in Racket are optimized down to essentially for loops.

We do know how to build interstellar-capable propulsion. It'd still be a generational ship but we know how we could do it within the span of a few human lifetimes. Building them is a matter of organizing the resources to actually mak

What kinds of queries are being done on the logs such that it makes sense to use sqlite instead of, like, just a ring buffer?

This is true for autoscaling VMs which run one application and when underutilized the load is reconsolidated. It is NOT true for desktops which run different applications all the time, the user often switches between them, and where uncommi

Have you decided what your personal red line is after which you would conclude that we've entered an authoritarian regime? Have we crossed the neofascist Rubicon yet? [1] [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YFdwfNh5vs

See Mahmoud Khalil's case. They're trying to and would continue to have done so if they weren't blocked. What is there stopping them from changing the rules and doing it again?

Because that's all they know how to do.

Google search does a lot more complex processing (crawling, historical weighting) and it does it on unstructured pages. Discoveravility in a microblogging system doesn't have to be a lot more than indexing/collation of structur

You're presupposing that discoverability requires some degree of centralization.

I'd like to see Nostr added to this, since userbase concentration is always the thing they levy against the fedi model. It'd be a little weird to adapt because user identities don't live on single relays.

Has there been research into some hierarchical attention model that has local attention at the scale of sentences and paragraphs that feeds embeddings up to longer range attention across documents?

I never did understand why this path/file structure was exposed.

What if there are two people named John Smith? Or two restaurants called Main Street Diner? Or two towns named Springfield?

Much of that 5M are hardware register definitions expanded into C headers. I am not sure how you'd consolidate that but it's not like that's all bespoke C code.

MS has deep ties into the state department and intelligence apparatus that few other companies do. Just as deep as the defense contractors who have a near monopoly-monopsony relationship with the federal government. You can argue about ho

Why don't you want to share your insights? I agree doing it in a more direct way would be better than it leaking through AI training you don't control. But your phrasing seems stronger than that.

How is this actually restricting speech? It's not restricting advertisements for labor, it's restricting intentional lies made to misdirect. That's called fraud.

But that's exactly the thing, where we care about an industrial capacity for its strategic reasons rather than because we're trying to maximize efficiency of revenue extraction. Pure market efficiency is great if you're tryi

People take it as an assumption that cronyism will always happen if the government invests too strongly/consistently in a certain thing. But cronyism is a policy and structural failure, it's usually because the incentives for the

I thought it was the other way around, that the individual mark is interpreted as a 6 so it's 666?

If a company has truly become too big to fail that it makes sense for the federal government to bail them out, then why are we even leaving the welfare of the company up to private industry in the first place? It's just asking for way

Are they baked into the main executable or are they separate binaries (a la apt, cargo, etc)?

Yeah this is exactly the stuff that you'll have to reinvent yourself on an ad-hoc basis in any sufficiently large project. I would argue it's sorta related to Greenspun's tenth rule: https://en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F

My guess would be to turn the crank of a ponzi scheme until it falls off. However, > Qubic's AI-training work is performed by CPUs, same as used by RandomX (Monero's mining algo). I don't understand how this makes any sens

If you're doing a whitelist of trusted parties you might as well do classical BFT without the mining.
