A bit much describing our tech leadership as smartest people we've ever seen.

What do you mean by this tower of power effect? Was it just that the 747 had a more powerful take-off or something due to 4 engines?

I'm worried many companies no longer care much if they make a mess or a way to hold them accountable.

I can't imagine concentrating on a complicated project like that on the go, but I went back to stare in awe at said picture and I think its a train or bus. Still a flex.

I think the author addresses this in saying that since AI output is statistically plausible by design its unlikely to improve in this area. Why do you think AI will get better in this way?

Its a shame there isn't more goodwill for some companies to bankroll a project like asahi linux. Keeping up with reverse engineering apple silicon seems like a very large task.

What has that got to do with blocking AI crawlers?

Risk limiting audits are why this work. You physically sample ballots at random. The number you sample grows as the gap in the electronic tally shrinks to reach high confidence the election was tabulated correctly.

whats wrong with usb-a? I feels more sturdy and less likely to have connection issues then usb-c in my experience.

Very weird to market this as subscribing to "Elon process for software"

I remember when defcon ctf would play Geohot's PlayStation rap video every year on the wall.

Honestly seems like zig is shaping up to be a better fit for kernel. Regardless the language that attracts skilled kernel devs will matter more then lang.

Gokrazy is a minimal linux distro that just boots into a go init program. You can run on a raspberry pi or pc. It has a little init system that just takes a path you normally use in `go run` and just runs them and restarts as needed. Its been a joy for me to play around with. Has A/B updates as well.

I feel like wc3 is undersung. To me it achieved the perfect balance of allowing potentially mechanically worse players to win with brilliant tactics or strategy. It put the emphasis on strategy in rts more then anything else.

As a kid I was shit at it and played customs maps and goofed with the editor. Now I've gone back to find grubby streaming and revealing the depths of the meta evolution, and counters.

I like that even when a strong meta develops people can potentially counter with strategies that aren't as well rounded for long term use but upset the current meta.

I think its fundamentally more difficult to host communications services where spam is possible and there is no auth/contact system in place before first communication can happen.

I was a big fan of the original check handle proposal: https://go.googlesource.com/proposal/+/master/design/go2draf...

I see the desire to avoid mucking with control flow so much but something about check/handle just seemed so elegant to me in semi-complex error flows. I might be the only one who would have preferred that over accepting generics.

I can't remember at this point because there were so many similar proposals but I think there was a further iteration of check/handle that I liked better possibly but i'm obviously not invested anymore.

Mm thats a good point. I'm not entirely clear on the limits of trademarks in this case. Its Zigbook rather then Zig.

Its the opposite in my understanding. Zig has a BDFL.

Trademarks are the usual cudgel of choice to enforce a bad actor claiming to be part of offcial Zig.

I've not seen it called this before. I'd say something like 'fail-safe' instead.

The regulation good/bad dichotomy has been very effective reducing the thinking of the constituents of modern neolibs in the US.

On one end we have regulations as part of regulatory capture. Opposite effect of regulations that would help say a small business compete fairly.
