I believe in the latest (possibly two latest?) releases of Zig you have the option to build a self hosted compiler.

It helps when you never question if, as in his own essay describing other ‘bad writers’ weaving falsehoods, you’re the one lying to yourself.

I’d argue that ‘a bunch of additional code’ to solve for memory safety is exactly what you’re doing in the ‘defining memory safety away’ example with Rust or Swift. It’s just code you didn’t write and thus likely don’t understand as well. T

It could be a time based clause. Nebula exclusive for two weeks prior to any other upload, etc

IIRC Nebula has an exclusivity clause in their contract not allowing content creators to upload to other platforms, though I could be thinking of CuriosityStream.

Didn’t know the people behind the mp3 format were into tooling for metalworking. Guess it makes sense, it involves a practical application for use of sound, and they are a research institution. I wonder if the metal can hear the difference

They shine through my windows at night and are truly horrific. They’re down the entire alleyway behind my place, and a walk to the grocery store at 7pm during the winter makes your body and mind think it’s sunrise.

Adding together all the different standards/feature sets a chip supports and then aggregating the bandwidth into a single number is actually a very reasonable way to arrive at an approximation for total chip computational throughput. U

Yeah this is odd. I've taken multiple 10 year old T-Shirts with holes through 10% of them in to the Patagonia store and they've let me walk out with new product off the rack.

Wouldn’t this also imply a lack of Turing completeness, and thus not be good for general purpose computing?

> Without CPUs, we can be freed from the tyranny of the halting problem. Can someone please explain to me what this even means in this context? Serious question.

I think the author raises a good point about how much human time/energy/effort go into creating content for systems that are at best closed loops when it comes to search-ability/discovery methods, and prone to disappear compl

I wonder if cosmo libc supports targeting versions.

Interesting post to wake up to when I'm 7 days into a fast. Glad to be getting back into extended fasting, sad that I, again, have the body type that makes it somewhat of a requirement health wise.

Yeah, all the research I've read says that fasting is actually preventative when it comes to cancer -- and possibly assists with starving out cancer cells during treatment of the disease.

I haven't had that experience, but I usually do longer fasts. My go to for this would be electrolyte levels, which can vary heavily depending on water intake, diet, exercise, supplementation, etc. Here's some journal articles I fo

Generally the answer is 'no' to that question. Medical ethics tends to prohibit it, especially in a clinical setting. It's seen as doing harm to the patients, which physicians tend to frown on. I've even heard of some pa

It’s been my lived experience that Dr. Attia’s concerns about loss of muscle mass during extended fasting are extremely overblown, if not outright incorrect.

I was unaware there exists a fully homomorphic encryption scheme that has the right trade offs between security and computational effort to make this economically viable for even moderate to small workloads. I’ve always thought it was eithe
