- N_LensAdministration's anti science crusade continues.
- Plenty of fuel for conspiracy theorists.
- Enshittification is Inevitable.
- AI slop slopification is sloppifying science (Just like everything else).
- Getting an age verification popup, anyone have a mirror?
- I remember doing martial arts (Thai Kickboxing) in my youth and the instructor told us to yell when we took a big hit. I tried it and it really dampened the pain from the hit. Another person would yell expletives and swore (hehe) that it worked even better.
- Should be titled 'nobodyreadsTHEIRlogs'
Anyway, the time when you actually need the logs and they're there makes up for all the times you didn't need them. Better to have and not need than to need and not have.
I do agree with the argument that each system's observability strategy should be fine tuned to store the most necessary and informative logs, instead of capturing excessive and mostly useless logs.
- This article reminds me of this XKCD - https://xkcd.com/605/ [extrapolating]
- Funnily this is satire/educational code - notice the license is "GLWTPL" (Good Luck With That Public License).
Repo is based on exploiting this bug - https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/25860 (Open since 2015)
The bug allows you to "extend" any lifetime 'a to 'static in safe code:
This converts a reference with any lifetime into a 'static reference, which violates Rust's safety guarantees. Once you can do this, you can create dangling references, access freed memory, etc.
This is a type system bug, not just an implementation bug. From the discussions:
- The easy fix (banning contravariance in function arguments) would eliminate valid Rust programs
- The proper fix requires changes to how higher-ranked lifetime variables carry subtyping relations
- The Rust team chose to pursue the more rigorous solution as part of replacing the trait solver (the "Chalk" project)
- That's ridiculous. You can see his expression get more tense as he nears the end, I know that feeling well when you're on a good run.
- I'd love to pose some quick questions (If I had more time) that collate the relevant data from the files, such as the contents linking DJT, or any other high profile individual.
- This is really cool. I've always found braids & knots very fascinating (Wonder if that says anything about my particular strain of Autism)
- Also reminds me of the series of humorous posts saying essentially the same thing by Grug - https://grugbrain.dev/
"grug brain developer not so smart, but grug brain developer program many long year and learn some things although mostly still confused"
"grug brain developer try collect learns into small, easily digestible and funny page, not only for you, the young grug, but also for him because as grug brain developer get older he forget important things, like what had for breakfast or if put pants on"
- I strongly agree, I find it a sign of a mature writer when they write in the first person about such topics. It's based on reflection that personal truths are subjective and it's better to be more accurate (that these are the individual's experiences and learnings), rather than prescriptive (that these are Universal truths and everyone should fall in line).
- The outcry against this move was much larger than Microsoft anticipated. While there is some logic for charging for self-hosted, it just doesn't make sense for the consumers.
- Putting AI where there's even a remote need for access control or security (Such as a vending machine) is a recipe for such outcomes. AI in its current iteration seems to be unable to be secured.
- I wonder how the public in the UK feels about their country quickly devolving into an oversurveilled state.
- I searched him up briefly, he's an advocate for the ketogenic diet for neural health. It's not surprising because medical grade keto can solve various nerve related issues such as epilepsy and may even be beneficial for childhood ADHD and Autism. He also advocates abstaining from substances which may harm brain and nervous system health, such as marijuana and alcohol. He also advocates for a holistic program of stress management, sleep and nutrient optimization.
- News: Half of researchers lied on this survey
- The article highlights that LANPAR could handle forward references (cells referencing other cells not yet calculated) through iterative evaluation loops. This seems mundane now, but was genuinely novel in 1970 and didn't reappear in spreadsheets until Lotus 1-2-3 in the 1980s.
