meindnoch··on EU chief opens door for Canada to become 'associate member'
Good! My dream is an alliance with Canada and Australia, a truce with China, the dismantling of Russia (Siberia goes to China), and the isolation of USA.

Next up: cutting your vinyl records into concentric circles, so you won't have to carry the weight of the songs you don't like!

That's because it used to be a simple Markov model back then.

Today's implementation is using more advanced ML techniques ;)

meindnoch··on Rust is tier-1 language at Microsoft
Tier 1 is the summit of summits - the summum bonum of languages, the highest order to which a language can aspire. Very few ever attain it. Non multa, sed multum: not many, but only those of extraordinary quality. Most languages remain forever in Tier 3, never passing beyond its gates. Of these, scarcely 1% ascend to Tier 2. And from that already distinguished company, a mere 0.1% possess the refinement, depth, and excellence required to cross the final threshold into Tier 1.

Consider what that means: Tier 1 represents roughly the top 0.001% of languages. Pauci sed electi - few, but chosen. The crème de la crème. The aristocracy of languages. Primus inter pares, yet standing at the very edge of what programming language greatness can be.

Ad astra per aspera. Through hardship, to the stars. Tier 1 is not merely another rank: it is the ultima Thule, the farthest frontier, the crown, the apotheosis.

meindnoch··on AirPods 5
Always do when this happens. I blow into it, and there's no visible dirt on the metal contacts either. Also, a friend of mine also reported the same for their AirPods Pro 2.
meindnoch··on AirPods 5
I hope they've made the metal contacts inside the case a bit sturdier, because I'm often getting one or both of my AirPods drained to 0% when I take them out of the case, due to contact issues (I assume).
meindnoch··on What will our economic future look like?
Btw, Wendell Berry died 10 days ago.
meindnoch··on Anthropic researcher believes more than 10% chance AI 'could kill all humans'
Ok, but we'll make so much buggy slopware!

So it's worth the risk.

Yep, I've noticed that myself. It's getting pretty boring.
meindnoch··on Replaceable but Employed: Automation and the Meaning of Work
>But if you provide just the bare minimum to survive through UBI, the capitalists will gain a loyal faction that will act as their Red Guards to attack dissidents, which I think is much cheaper in the long run.

Automatic gun turrets are even cheaper in the long run.

Robots will use real estate as rain shelter after the human occupants have starved to death.

meindnoch··on Why are there no flow batteries with symmetric ferrocyanide electrolytes?
Nope. Total capacity is going to be 2.1GWh. The peak power will be 1.2GW, and milliseconds is the response time of the system. [1]

I simply use a catheter and avoid such problems.
meindnoch··on Why are there no flow batteries with symmetric ferrocyanide electrolytes?
"We will be able to inject or absorb up to 1.2 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of electricity in a few milliseconds"

1.2GWh in a few milliseconds? I'm pressing (X) to doubt.

Mechanical translation.
meindnoch··on Why are European countries moving their gold out of North America?
I used to wonder how Rome could fall without anyone knowing exactly why. Surely an empire that lasted five centuries, and conquered all of Europe, must have been brought down by some great event, some unmistakable rupture.

Watching the American Empire fray in real time, I think I understand now.

Empires do not always fall with a crash. Sometimes they simply lose the will to continue.

Apparently, empires can collapse out of something almost like boredom. Maybe "boredom" is the wrong word. But collapse may begin when a civilization can no longer summon enough belief, energy, or attention to sustain itself.

>rewriting the function signature to return void and take an extra pointer parameter, which is written to before returning

This is completely unrelated to RVO. Every non-trivial class is returned via pointers to caller-allocated storage under the Itanium ABI. Period.
