I personally like the direction C# is taking. A multi-paradigm language with GC and flexibility to allow you to write highly expressive or high performance code. Better than a new language for each task, like you have with Go (microservices

Being less efficient is also a problem, because if majority becomes less efficient (lower productivity), the overall wealth and economic growth of that society are going to decline significantly. We do have evidence that when money is not a

I think this further proves that the hypothesis of decoupling content from presentation is flawed. The question is how many more data points do we need before we admit that?

Try creating a task that tries to delete these tasks. It could be triggered on startup and periodically like once a day.

Some sort of LLM audit trail is needed (containing prompts used, model identifier and marking all code written by LLM). It could be even signed by LLM providers (but that wouldn't work with local models). Append only standard format t

Are we going to see more memory channels for consumer desktop at some point from AMD or Intel? Apple seems to be the only one that offers it.

A success story by what definition? I cannot judge Haskell as I don't know it well enough. I should have added "usually". On average when something is designed by a committee the effect is like this, but not always. You don&#

AI averages everything out, so there's no character left. Similar thing happens when something is designed by a committee. Good for an average use, but not really great for anything specific.

Brains are great at pattern recognition (lots of studies). This includes ratios. Your shade of color is not a good example, because it's just a single value, not relative to anything on its own. But if you have multiple colors, there w

Well, you claim to combine several interesting features. Type safety, small binary size, high performance, predictable performance (no GC). So, I'm interested how this will turn out. For web small binary size is really important. Frame

This seems to make sense, but I need to read more about error correction to fully understand it. I was considering possibility that data could also contain patterns where error detection performs poorly due to bias, and I haven't seen

I can't say I agree with your logic here. We are not talking about any specific backup or anything like that. We are talking about the design of a file format that is going to be used globally. Business running a lottery has to calcula

Then you just need a bigger hash.

That's a good example. Thanks! It would be kind of an indirect tampering method.

It depends on how you calculate statistics. If you are designing a file format that over the lifetime of the format hundreds of millions of user will use (storing billions of files), what are the chances that 32 bits checksum won't be

From SMHasher test results quality of xxhash seems higher. It has less bias / higher uniformity that CRC. What bothers me with probability calculations, is that they always assume perfect uniformity. I've never seen any estimates

by zigzag312 9mo ago
I've seen few arguments that with the amount of data we have today the 2^(32-1) chance can happen, but I can't vouch their calculations were done correctly. Readme in SMHasher test suite also seems to indicate that 32 bits might b
