Okay, so your argument is that he should disclose trade secrets/confidential information and face both civil and criminal litigation and ruin his life like Edward Snowden? Before your argument was that it doesn't matter if he quit

He did that because what they were doing was illegal and there was a whistle blower program he could use to confront the issue, legally. That doesn't apply here. Not clear what you're suggesting he does differently.

At this point the analogy has entirely collapsed, your job is to develop AI. Unless you're advocating for some kind of sabotage or something, I'm not sure what you're really suggesting he do. If he continues to do the work he

Well we're not debating the morality of it, the question is what he should do, given that he believes that it's immoral. In your analogy the correct thing to do would be to call the authorities to help. The problem with the analog

You missed the point. > Just because someone else might be willing to do it isn't a reason to continue doing it. Hence, someone filling the position after you leave isn't a reason to continue doing it, whereas the fact that it&

That's not necessarily true, and you can use that argument to justify doing any immoral job. Just because someone else might be willing to do it isn't a reason to continue doing it.

There's no whistleblower program for this, they're not breaking any laws. What are you proposing he should do if not this?

The point of mixed reality is that you can beam people into the space. So the people in the room could watch on a TV and be there in person if they wanted, while everyone else was there in VR.

Obviously rust panic is not the same as a kernel panic. What you're taking for granted is that just because rust can catch a panic that it will. A simple overflow can cause a panic. When this happens, the panic might be caught before t

As far as I'm aware there's no way to reliably catch all panics. catch_unwind does not catch all panics. Handlers don't stop the program from terminating abruptly.

1. As far as i'm aware there's no way to reliably catch all panics. catch_unwind does not catch all panics. 2. The whole point is that consequences of a panic are worse than the consequences of memory corruption. That's how t

Splint doesn't make C memory safe. What I meant is that it doesn't prevent the same problems that Rust does. Hence, you can add a linter to rust to prevent panics. You cannot add a linter to C to make it memory safe.

Easy. Linus for being insufferable.

I think you're missing the point Linus made. Panicking is safer from a memory safety perspective, but it's not from a kernel perspective. You'll lose all the file changes that are not saved, you'll risk having disk writt

Linters can catch panics, linters for C won't catch memory issues which is what rust prevents.

Nobody "has to" have a job either. It's interesting how words can have different standards of necessity depending on how you contextualize them. Is a basketball player tall? If you asked his friend in the NBA after a game, he

If you're just doing BFS why do you care who the parent is? Why not just choose the parent to be the predecessor? I.e if you visit 4 from 1, then 1 is the parent. Why do you need to check a list of potential parents?

Owon vds 1022I served me well for basic stuff. PC oscilloscopes are pretty decent for the $ cost. There's definitely better out there, but if you're in the market for a budget scope, I recommend that one.

Who the fuck is buying vegan meat and being like "oh I thought this was meat"? Do we seriously need to legislate that? There's no real victim here, it's just a bunch of people who are sour or feel threatened by meat alte
