Interestingly, all of those either use cryptocurrencies as an investment, or merely provide cryptocurrency-based tools (of questionable utility), and leave the problem-solving to their users. Why mine (fool's) gold when…
The same physical infrastructure that is also used for transporting just about everything else? Anyway, most currency transfer these days is digital, so even that doesn't hold much water.
A few months ago, I disabled all of that stuff, so that YouTube only recommends videos based on my subscriptions and liked videos. I guess it's still personalization, but it's personalization that I have control over,…

Does anyone know what Stroustrup is referring to regarding "better concurrency"? It sounds interesting but it's way too vague.

I assume the idea is to do some profiling and throw in some machine learning to select the perfect mix at compile time.

I see this "175B parameters" figure tossed around a lot: what does that mean? Does the model literally consist of 175 billion 32-bit floats? (Sorry for the very basic question.)
Fair enough, but I inferred the "all X is Y" bit from the first sentence, in which you said "I don't think you missed the mark" regarding a paragraph which, IIRC, did essentially imply that cargo shorts are by nature…

Yep. I'm pretty sure that even with unsafe shenanigans, you can't access the value without being very explicit about it. You'd need something like: let value = unsafe { match result { Ok(value) => value, _ =>…
Most of the listed assumptions are bad, but some of them, to me, seem essential. In particular, dealing with cyclic build graphs sounds like an absolute nightmare, and I doubt that any build system that allows for such…
