It's not that it's optimized away, it's that the authors have done a bad job translating their pseudo code into Rust etc. In Rust, if you do not `await` a future, it does not run - so in their example where only C is printed,

It is. I definitely agree that strings in Zig can be tedious, but the upside is that if you need it, you can build a string library that does everything you want it to do, in the way you want. For comparison, while Rust offers a very rich s

Honestly, that was sort of the impression I got. It's not that the meth is contaminated, it's that the meth is way stronger and more pure. I wouldn't be surprised if incredibly high doses of any stimulant causes schizophren

I disagree, if you'd like to propose solutions to these problems as well as an implementation strategy, I'd be very happy to hear them! Source: am the author.

Most AI data centres use evaporative cooling. One of the linked sources talks about this; that 7 billion cubic metres metric is how much water gets evaporated into the air. (which makes that water no longer usable for drinking/watering

Up until pretty recently, I was unemployed and I also wanted a career change for similar reasons (although I'm in my 20s). I was broke, so going to school wasn't an option (plus I applied to a couple universities anyways and got r

I agree completely; I think choosing Rust and then adding a GC is a weird design choice. If I was in a situation where I really, truly needed GC for my memory management, I wouldn't use Rust.

Exactly - purely "data driven" decisions are how we end up with ads really close to (or overlapping with) some button you want to press, because the data says that increase click-through rate! But it's actually a user-hostile

I've never really had the urge to use GC in Rust, but if I were to speculate, I'd say easier cyclic references would be one benefit. And depending on the specific GC implementation, you can probably get around many of Rust's

I think you're misunderstanding - most people's beef with AI art isn't that it "isn't made by experts", it's that 1) it's made from copyrighted works, and the original authors receive no credit; 2) it

I think there's a difference between "Hey boss, this isn't practical with the requirements you've given. We need to revise them to continue, here are my suggestions" and "Task completed! Btw, I ignored all of t

Increasing skin temperature is known to induce sleep (can't find a source currently, sorry). Something about your skin being warmer allowing your body to cool more effectively, I think. So a hot shower before bed is actually great for

I think that's only because electricity is the bottleneck, though. If it was no longer the bottleneck, crypto miners would expand rapidly with more hardware, mining difficulty would increase, and eventually the bottleneck is storage sp

I dunno, I've worked on some pretty big projects that have used lots of coroutines, and it's pretty easy to avoid all of the footguns. I'm not advocating for the ubiquitous use of coroutines (there's a time and place), b

I'm curious about Hashibashi as well. I've seen lots of Japanese people doing it, and now I'm worried I look like a total poser from copying them.

I think many people know how to google "what is my IP" and send that to a friend, but don't necessarily know what a port is. NAT randomization, I don't know. Depends on your setup, I guess.

It's not so much a workaround as it is an elegance in design. In Zig, when you @import a file, that file is converted to a struct with comptime fields for all of the public members. Similarly, a "namespace" in Zig is just a n

I like JR's "shaggy fur" interpretation, but my initial thought for the mammoth was that it might be butcher markings? (as someone who is not a butcher and knows less than they should about anatomy)

I feel like days are a non-issue; they would just start at different times (UTC) in different territories. This wouldn't make things any more complicated than they already are (currently, if I want to talk to someone in Australia, I ha

I've just accepted that Microsoft, Google, and Meta all have a constant wiretap in my office (on account of my Windows PC, Android smartphone, and Meta VR headset). It's rather dystopian to just know and accept this, but there&#x2

I've heard this sentiment a lot, that governments/secret agencies/whoever create zero-days intentionally, for their own use. This is an interesting thought to me (like, how does one create a zero-day that doesn't look in

Very cool! Is the goal with this project (generally, not specifically async) to have an equivalent to e.g. CUDA, but in Rust? Or is there another intended use-case that I'm missing?

I don't fully agree. I agree that helping employers find qualified candidates is good for those candidates, but I don't agree that making applications mail-in only would achieve that end. It doesn't solve a lot of the larger

That's a fair point! It is true that recruiters are human and cannot review 5k applications per week. I don't mean to say that recruiters must/should review all applications, because indeed this is sometimes impossible. I&#x2
