a jump in electricity prices, supply not meeting demand for processors, investors will get jittery and "ai" will shoot up in cost and disappear from the lives of most people. all the blockchain companies that "pivoted" to llms will rotate further and chatgpt will be like nfts. just another dead end
@nico beastie boyce Hear hear, although the sunk costs in this case seem to be at least an order of magnitude greater, with the externalities to boot. Also this isn't a simple money grift, its goal is the dismantling of human agency and bringing about full techno-feudalism, so I believe it will last longer than the last two or six tech fads (remember 3D TV and the MetaVerse?).

Highlights of rustconf (from virtual attendance due to fascism) day one, imo: - Microsoft's investment into rust as first choice language for high perf/low level code is pretty cool - the redis presentation about implementing a triemap in rust and migrating their c code to use it was also pretty interesting. - There are a lot of talks about Interop with other languages and honestly I think they tilted the program a little too far towards that, because there's a lot of repeated ground between those talks. - I'm really intrigued by both Zed's new GUI/app framework. It sounds like they took a different approach to the norm, which is good, because I think the norm in rust for this is a mess. - Dioxus doesn't interest me much from the pov of being a GUI framework but the live updating code at runtime stuff seems neat.

The Rust Foundation is delighted to host this amazing gathering of the #rustlang community and can't wait to welcome you back next year in Montreal, September 8-11, 2026!

Highlights of day 2 of rustconf, virtually again, imo: - it was really interesting to get an overview of where redoxos is and is going. They've made some interesting architectural choices! I'm definitely more interested in the project than I was before. Maybe especially curious about relibc. - The choose-your-own-adventure style talk about OSS incident response was fun and an interesting way to shake things up. I didn't watch it fully live so I didn't get to take part but I love that the presenter included the discord attendees in the decision points! Great remote-friendlieness! - The Guardian's secure messaging app architecture overview was neat. Though I think the most interesting parts of it have nothing to do with rust. In particular, the use of the installed base of their app to drive fake encrypted messaging traffic to provide cover for whistleblowers is really cool. - @rain's talk about future cancellation safety was really great! I liked how it boiled a bunch of common problems into really easy to digest examples. Definitely one of the best explanations of this topic I've seen. - Day 2 only had one talk that was directly about c++ interop, "Fine Grained C++ Interop", and it was kind of a wide overview of available options, though somewhat focused on the presenters' own work on: crubit. There's some stuff in this talk that has bearing on future evolution of rust, and the presenters are core developers of the language, so this is one to check out if you want an idea of where things might go in the future at a lower level than just code generators and libraries. In particular they make a case for adding type-based function overloading to the language to improve that. I'm... Skeptical that that's a good idea, but they point out that we do already have something like it with traits. - The final keynote was called "Vision Doc: The Next 10 Years of Rust" but it didn't really present a vision so much as a plan to get to a vision. I dunno really what to make of that. - Montreal heck yeah!
Anyways allegedly this year the plan is to get talks up on YouTube within the month. If I see they're up I'll probably edit links into these posts later, so if you want to be notified if/when I do that you can like this post and Mastodon will let you know. 😀
Illegal Alien Arrested With Arsenal Of Weapons, Ammunition, Cocaine
Illegal Alien Arrested With Arsenal Of Weapons, Ammunition, Cocaine
The optics for the Democratic Party are not great at the moment.
Whether it's vehemently rejecting President Trump's mission to restore law and order in crime-ridden progressive cities or opposing the deportation of criminal illegal aliens, the party of confused radicals - still unable to define what a woman is - bankrolled by rogue leftist billionaires and propped up by dark-money NGOs, has firmly branded itself as the party of "America Last."
If Democrats had their way, no illegal alien would ever be deported. That's because these third-worlders are seen as the party's future voting base to seize more political power. For a glimpse into exactly who these individuals are, look no further than a shocking new report out of Charleston, South Carolina.
Local outlet counton2.com/news/local-news/d… reported earlier this week that deputies with the Dorchester County Sheriff's Office pulled over Joaquin Lopez-Rubio for speeding. Deputies say Lopez-Rubio is in the country illegally, and what they found in his vehicle was shocking.
Here's more from the local station:
Lopez-Rubio was detained for reckless driving and operating a vehicle without a valid license. It was also determined that he was a "Mexican national in the United States illegally," according to the sheriff's office.
During a search of Lopez-Rubio's vehicle, deputies and troopers found three clear plastic bags with 8.6 gross grams of cocaine, ten firearms, and multiple magazines with various rounds of ammunition.
How does the illegal pick fruit on farms and clean dishes at restaurants with these tools?
Americans are waking up and fed up with the globalist regime in the previous administration that flooded the nation with millions of illegals. Now, some of these criminal illegals are heavily armed.

io ho qui Arturo, arrivato ora, forse ce la potrei anche fare, ma stavo pensando ai sogni e volevo chiedere una cosa, a te, voi, capita mai di fare sogni che più che altro sembrano simulazioni, tipo un "se succedesse così..." ma con la grammatica abbastanza oscura delle emozioni?
sogni recenti così non ne ricordo... Comunque più che una domanda mi sa che era un'ipotesi interpretativa... Secondo Freud i sogni sono risposta allucinatoria a desideri inappagati, gli elementi spaventosi o tristi sono espressione della parte inconscia del super-io, però a me pare che per certi sogni miei funzioni meglio una spiegazione tipo che forse è una specie di allenamento emotivo a eventualità che mi spaventano da sveglio, tipo che sogno spesso una bomba atomica che scoppia da qualche parte nelle vicinanze, situazioni di miseria grande, onde gigantesche dal mare che spazzeranno il paesino in cui sono, cose così
in quei sogni o me la cavo o mi sveglio prima, tranne nell'ultimo che ho fatto per ora con l'atomica, in cui alla fine mi pare proprio che "sono morto", insieme al mio amico più caro, ma la cosa è coincisa con il risveglio, non particolarmente angosciato, più commosso... Ma non ricordo altri sogni in cui morissi, mentre ricordo un amico, un obiettore con cui feci il servizio civile, che si dichiarava fascio ma secondo me più che altro perché lo erano i suoi, ed era generoso e simpatico, che diceva che sognava spesso di morire
@jones io sapevo che non si può sognare di morire e poi il sogno continua ma che la morte in sogno coincide sempre col risveglio però non so se è vero. comunque ero tornata a letto ma penso di essermi addormentata mezz'ora fa poi alle 6:30 è suonata la sveglia. oggi sarà un'altra giornata difficile
ah, io mai letto nulla di specifico su questo. Anch'io mi sonp svegliato poco fa dopo 3 ore e mezza di sonno, per fortuna posso recuperare in giornata, spero di non aver contribuito alla tua insonnia 😀
ti capita spesso? e ci sono motivi specifici legati a questo periodo o ti capita in generale? io ho sempre avuto un rapporto difficile col sonno, di fondo c'è che mi spaventa dormire e che prima di dormire mi metto a ripensare alle cose della giornata passata e spesso vado avanti parecchio a farlo... mi succede meno da quando ho poca vita sociale, ma mi succede ancora...
@jones sì appena cambia l'ora da solare a legale smetto di dormire: troppa luce per il mio cervello. infatti per me tutta la gente che odia autunno e inverno è incomprensibile.
anch'io ho un po' quel problema, anche perché da tanto tempo preferisco molto dormire con la tapparella alzata (e i vetri aperti quasi sempre almeno un po' anche d'inverno)... poi in generale quello che mi spaventa del dormire è l'eventualità di fare brutti sogni, ma anche spesso l'idea di lasciar digerire la giornata a una dinamica tutta molto più inconscia di quella che ho da sveglio, perciò è come se pensare alla giornata prima di dormire fosse un po' come masticare un boccone prima di inghiottirlo, solo che spesso ci metto tanto...
un'altra cosa che mi pesa del dormire è che mi capita abbastanza spesso di addormentarmi in uno stato emotivo che vorrei avere anche il giorno dopo, magari convinto e desideroso di fare qualcosa, e poi il giorno dopo al risveglio, della spinta emotiva a farlo non c'è più traccia...
@jones io no, probabilmente perché ho sempre l'umore molto basso, non ho vera gioia nel fare le cose che faccio per senso del dovere. vado a letto e mi sveglio quasi sempre con gli stessi sentimenti.
si, a meno che ti piaccia E che non ti tocchi comunque farlo troppo... in questi giorni sono preso abbastanza bene anche perché sto facendo una cosa che mi piace fare e che penso che, semmai riuscissi a finirla, sarebbe utile a tant*, ma me la sto gestendo coi tempi che voglio io... è "lavoro" nel senso che comunque mi ci va impegno e fatica, anche se solo intellettuale, ma non lo è nel senso che anche se riuscissi a farla, non ci caverei un soldo, e nel senso che i tempi davvero me li posso gestire come voglio 😀
@jones già se potessi gestirmi le cose coi miei tempi sarebbe un bel traguardo, ma qui dove sono prima ti dicono di fare le cose per ieri, tu le fai per avant'ieri e allora nooooo troppo veloce doveva essere pronto fra un mese! avessi una qualsiasi capacità manuale avrei sfanculato tutto da mo ma non so fare nulla e anche volendo imparare grazie al lavoro che tocca fare per campare non c'è il tempo
@jones no io quello no, dormire mi garba. quando stavo molto male poi era quasi un sollievo pensare "finalmente ora si dorme". poi con quest'ora spostata in avanti non mi abituo mai, ho sempre l'idea che sia troppo tardi e che mi stiano rubando tempo.
anche a me comunque il più delle volte piace dormire, sono contento quando mi sveglio riposato o preso bene, anche se a volte mi spiace di aver perso la "presa male" della sera precedente 😀) ... oppure a volte la presa bene, perché capita anche l'inverso...

Not all manufactured things are good. In fact, many of them are killing us from atmospheric pollution to the microscopic dust from tires to microplastics.
No one ever counts that cost though.
Ebola is simply being what it is. So many things humans do are done completely carelessly and with no thought for consequences.
@Black_Flag I never said they were. Just that nature isn't perfect.
But when we lived an "all natural" lifestyle life expectancies were literally half what they are now, and that's directly due to modern things, Science, medicine, shelter... all contribute to the long lifespans we now enjoy.
Demonize technology all you want... but it does more good than harm.
@ShredderFeeder Long life is not an achievement to shout about in the abstract but only in the context of what it cost to achieve it. For no long life is achieved in the abstract.
Technology is literally the cause of the current mass extinction event.

Since public health experts have strong biases in favour of vaccines, there should be well-funded, large-scale studies aiming to prove null hypotheses. That vaccines don't prevent infection, don't reduce the seriousness of infection, don't reduce transmission, etc.
If studies like this have been done, and failed to prove their hypothesis, I suspect I'm not the only one who'd find that much more convincing than cherry-picking infographics.
Aside from the obvious ethical problem that to attempt to prove the null hypothesis in such a case would involve deliberately killing tens of thousands of children by infecting millions with diseases known to cause death (and, more frequently than death, life–long health problems), this fundamentally misconstrues what public–health interventions are all about.
Banning the administration of aspirin to small children with fevers prevents Reyes’ syndrome. WE DON’T KNOW WHY.
@publius > to prove the null hypothesis in such a case would involve deliberately killing tens of thousands of children by infecting millions with diseases known to cause death
1) Not at all. You seem to be assuming placebo-controlled studies. These are many other ways epidemiologists could investigate this.
2) This is begging the question. Maybe vaccination is deliberately infecting millions? The only way to know for sure is to do science that doesn't set out to prove its own assumptions.
“Infecting” with what? In the 1970s, a poorly conducted polio immunization campaign in Egypt resulted in an outbreak of hepatitis. This led to a high rate of refusal of vaccines in Egypt, and an overall higher rate of diseases which can be vaccinated against, with accompanying higher disease mortality and shorter lifespans, than in comparable countries.
At this point, I'm 100% convinced that these cheap Chinese brands on Amazon are just haphazardly tossing random letters together and calling it a brand name.
They literally are. From what I understand, Amazon requires sellers to have registered trademarks and it's easier to trademark a random string of letters. They don't need brand recognition because people aren't searching for the brand, just the product.

A curve tracer is a piece of equipment which plots I-V (current vs voltage) curves, among other things. This old bit of Tektronix kit is rocking a CRT, which dates it. According to TekWiki the Tektronix 577 was introduced in 1972.
In this repair video [Jerry] goes to use his Tektronix 577 only to discover that it is nonfunctional. He begins his investigation by popping off the back cover and checking out the voltages across the voltage rails. His investigations suggest a short circuit. He pushes on that which means he has to remove the side panel to follow a lead into the guts of the machine.
Then, in order to find the shorted component he suspect exists, [Jerry] breaks out the old thermal cam. And the thermal cam leads to the fault: a shorted tantalum capacitor, just as he suspected to begin with! After replacing the shorted tantalum capacitor this old workhorse is like new.
There are probably quite a number of repair lessons in this video, but we think that an important takeaway is just how useful a thermal camera can be when it comes time for fault finding. If you’re interested in electronics repair a thermal cam is a good trick to have up your sleeve, it excels at finding short circuits.

Civil servants see their work as a calling. But under Trump’s second term, with their jobs upended and u-turns on policy, tens of thousands are being forced to ask: stay, speak up or leave?
