This is exactly Zig's strength, not its problem. The flexibility/lack of interfaces allows you to choose the correct abstraction for the given task. In C++, every writer is `anytype`, in Java every writer is `AnyWriter`, in Rust e

The line of thinking is right there: "not sending any info to anyone else anywhere at any time" There are way more egregious privacy concerns than sending non-reversibly encrypted noisy photos to Apple. Why draw the line here and

I'm not really sure what to say to this, other than watch this video and apply similar thinking to this problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EK32jo7i5LQ The leaf structure itself doesn't really have anything t

The author misses the whole point of abstractions, and that is a layer B that covers layer A so completely that no one using layer B needs to know how layer A works at all , except for those working on the layer A/B bridge. For exampl

You can just pop the second stack at each function return, though that does limit its use to only really scratch-space for dynamically sized objects. Like this: https://nullprogram.com/blog/2023/09/27/ .

The 2 stacks is really cool. Seems like it solves a lot of problems dynamic allocation + RAII solves. Is there more written about this?

It should be easier now with const generics, I know the popular C++ library looks like Value<Unit, T, L, M, ...> where the letters are numbers representing the dimension of time, length, mass, etc. So m/s^2 would always be Value&

No shit. The whole point of being a parent is to give your kids as much privilege as you can. Why are you talking like it's a bad thing? My parents moved here to bring me a better life than them and I'm working to give my kids a b

Almost the perfect language. I don't get why it's they didn't make it compatible with normal Go. It should have been like Typescript where you can compile plain Go, it just adds features on top it. The "let" and str

You can encode a promotion as the destination file plus rank 1-4 for the 4 different kinds, since pawns can't move backwards

Not sure the author's use case the naive solution seems like just using 6 bits for the piece's original position, 6 bits for the destination, and 2 bits to designate promotion type, for 14 total bits. Everything else can be found

I'm not sure... wasm is an assembly, not a C implementation. It can define what happens if you load from 0 but it doesn't get to define if the C code `*nullptr` actually loads from 0. Whether or not it does is defined by your comp

This is nice. I tried to set up something similar using wasm-pack and npm but the whole thing was kind of a mess. Though I heard the emscripten backend is deprecated/unsupported/WIP? Anyone know if that's still the case?

Agreed. Even "AI" is a bit loaded; we had half a century of Terminator, Asimov, 2001, etc. We should call them by implementation; neural networks, transformers, language models, etc. The plus side is that it's harder to gener

This to me is the real problem, "AI safety" can mean about a million things but it's always just whatever is most convenient for the speaker. I'm convinced human language/English is not enough to discuss AI problems

Self-replication is only dangerous because it creates more physical "stuff" to cause harm, exponentially fast. But the exponential is the dangerous part, not the replication. A software program replicating itself might seem danger

Ok so if you're not going to switch then don't talk about it. Google will continue to make Chrome shittier and more user-hostile much like every product they've ever released since they were founded and people like you will c

So switch then instead of just talking about it. It's not a big deal, it takes like 1 minute, and no one can seriously tell me you have a significantly different browser experience on Chrome vs FF.
