Type confusion bugs exist in Rust programs too, the language does not eliminate all such issues (though it does help somewhat). I think it would be more prudent to wait until we have details before getting on the soapbox.

Realizing I didn't quite answer your question about types of programs then and now. In the Q&A, they do discuss what types of (Fortran only) programs were measured in the study, and there is some speculation, but unfortunately the

I use sway so just made a bash script that's a couple of lines to join cliphist, tofi, wl-copy, wtype, together to the same effect.

Yes, I was considering making the same point, but in fairness to him, the vast majority of the millenial marxists and beyond don't know this either, nor that marxism doesn't mean "no profits or reinvestment or insurances, all

Exactly, the charge rates for the type of crime he was talking about (stealing from cars) are still incredibly bad, his claims are incredibly suspect.

Is there any evidence or other form of justification for the Flock CEO's claims about how it is responsible for SF's crime downturn? I find it hard to believe that Flock cameras are at the heart of such a wide-ranging effect. I am

Yes, building a highly reactive automated system upon flawed foundations is bad.

If Flock has so many issues with this database, and all their solutions are patchwork, and those solutions remain local to the jurisdiction that is locally using Flock, then this is a bad product. If you build a product on a bad database, y

Thanks for the correction, I knew I was about 2 decisions out of date when I had the impulse to write my post, but my research to fill in my blanks was a bit faulty. I added the 2nd paragraph and "plan to" ending of 1st as an edit

Not quite true, there is already a capable C compiler written in Zig (Aro/arocc), and a plan to transition to it for C compilation: https://codeberg.org/ziglang/translate-c Using this native (written in Zig) C com

That's the Switch 2's chip, isn't it? Meaning missing SVE there too. Casual search leads me to believe Steam Frame will also not include it (Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, but added in Elite Gen 5). Another generation, perhaps.

The "and not Neon" was a bit of an unnecessary pre-condition I shouldn't have added. However, given the OP discusses "there were a surprising number of users without AVX2 capable CPUs", I think there would be an u

Needing SIMD is hardly a problem though, especially if you only need the completely ubiquitous versions, and in using it, can avoid a good amount of fussy stuff.

My god, you are insufferable, that's not my opinion at all. Just because I used quotation marks in one place, a practice that can convey multiple meanings, not all of which involve disdain. It's unfortunate that Rust, a good langu

Reasonable people can disagree with you on the point that Rust is more safe because you can write unsafe code in Rust, whereas in Fil-C you write unsafe code in the compiler. Why might I write unsafe Rust? To do something not particularly f

Pobody's Nerfect is not the mindset that led to Rust's innovations, nor Fil-C's. "Blocks" are relevant as they are how you express programs, algorithms, etc., that you need in order to get something done. Lots of da

Yes this is essentially what I was thinking. And there have been repeated estimates about Iranian stockpiles that have proven completely wrong. I think they have been able to manufacture throughout the war.

Radars and bases along the path of travel from Iran to Israel have been progressively degraded. Various interceptor types also have low stockpiles at present. I'm absolutely not an expert keeping well-informed, but my understanding is

A lot of it is training, not inference, right? I really do think the vast majority of use is HN Claude Code, with some lawyers, etc., preparing initial draft emails that they rewrite, sprinkled on top. As for capex implying high usage, look
