> That’s subjective obviously. Some folks swear by type systems like Rust’s to catch as many issues as possible. That’s just not how I roll.
Yeah, I like it. I also like not caring about dangling pointers, UAF, and other things, not even because of security. These are just bugs that are not fun to debug.
But I get the appeal of the freedom of C++. Especially if you deal with FFI and low level stuff, Rust either forces you to write safe wrappers (good investment long-term, but not fun to do), or just use lots of unsafe, in which case there's no benefit.
This, and there's also cargo which is convenient.

Then it's no longer C/C++. More like C++/CLI maybe. And it probably gets tricky with FFI. Anyway, keep it up on making the world a safer place :)
Practically speaking none of what you brought up are actually issues because once the phone connects to the internet once, it's unlocked forever, including after relocks/flashing.
I tend to think the risk is the point. It's an in-group marker, getting very sick every so often for no good reason shows commitment. Which of course makes it doubly pointless as a suggestion to the general public, but the fact that it's a bad idea doesn't mean that for the in-group it's a bad idea. (I mean, it _is_ a bad idea, you understand though.)
If you sell "AI" maybe, if you sell products that happen to use LLMs to provide services previously not possible, the money still exists in my experience.
What I keep saying in internal meetings is: "I am so glad these people are so bad at deploying these tools." It really leaves the door open for folks like us.
> Gasoline in general is comparable to AI, and the pros of that outweight the cons.
This analogy is great, because your grandchildren will probably not consider gasoline to be a great technology, they'll consider it the thing that caused the wars and the famines.

The only path forward is to get LSD into the water supply at Davos and put on a really scary play about Rokko’s Basilisk for all the money people, or else Sam Altman won’t be able to afford to repair his infinity pool
The actual page announcing the contestants is terrible and missing the info I'm complaining about. The survey is arguably worse. It just ask people to choose among random bills. But that's not how the contest will work. They'll choose one artist's entire submission, not the most popular individual bills from the survey.
The idea of self sufficiency either from individualism or associated with a sense of "being prepared" is enticing. But growing something yourself is also cool in itself. Watching a plant grow, eating the tomato you grew tastes better than the one you bought.
If seen as a hobby it isn't more pointless than 3d printing dragons.
There's a big gap between WASM has issues/limitations, and WASM "might as well not exist." NaCL was also Chrome-only IIRC, whereas WASM is a successful web standard (no small feat).
Thanks for adding to this discussion especially around PlexAmp as there really isn't too much out there. I've been using PlexAmp for about a year now as a daily music player and someone else in tech who uses it all the time was telling me something similar about this whole lyrics situation which is why they just got Spotify to save the clicks.
I really miss this feature from when I was using Amazon Music before but I could never really figure it out so just learnt to live without but TIL that it's not just me and them setting it up wrong to begin with. I use the Android Player and Desktop app on my MacBook and as part of the Plex Pass I'm happy enough.
Can I ask if you or anyone else have tried any other players for it as my buddy who uses the Jellyfin (FinAmp) version of this for iPhone seems to have a lot more of a feature set than me?
I mean of the proposed designs. Actually, why not have Hitler. I wouldn’t mind a “never again” series with infamous faces from every country. Could be fun, lol.
But using 16-bit Z-buffer for 1-bit display seems to be an overkill. Sorting polygons works mostly fine if done right, especially if BSP tree is already used.
wildberries has been taken over by an oligarch and the only powers in Russia that Putin may hear are the oligarchs. There will be no 'overthrow of Putin' in Russia because there is no institutional support and it is well understood by literate people - a revolution is not just a disorganized uprising on the streets (what happens the next day? - return to normal) it requires years of planning and support.
This is a really interesting idea. I like that the spreadsheet is part of the game instead of just being used behind the scenes. What has been the most fun part to build so far?
Then you'll also says that a printer is more intelligent than most of humanity because it can replicate a drawing better than any painter. Or that the ipod is a better musician, etc,...
I can't be amazed at tools. I only applaud the minds that create them. Someone that find a way to grow rice where everyone thought was impossible is way more worthy than whatever opus produced. Just like someone winning the Tour de France is more remarkable than the latest AI benchmark or whatever.
It's easy enough to write a bit of Verilog to perform partial updates on the CRC to only compensate for what has changed. I did so for an FPGA project I implemented a number of years ago when processing VLAN tags and doing IP forwarding.
That said, there are lazy hardware designers that just slap on a block to recompute the CRC and replace the old one with the new. An experience I had years ago at Red Hat taught me that the hard way as a shiny new Cisco ethernet switch IT deployed ended up costing us weeks of frustration and delayed a release when it caused bit flips in NFS packets during stress testing. The switch was so awesomely advanced that it recomputed the CRC on the bit flipped packets causing kernel builds to fail. <sigh>
