I initially agreed with your idea, but realized the problem. At the bus/inter agent communication level, the CPU has sent a read request and is expecting a response. These protocol…

I was curious about what Tiger Beetle does. It has two phase transfers, which appears tailor built to handle this case. But maybe Tiger Beetle isn't the right database to track all…

It's probably a "bottom half", which is tightly bound to the CPU where the interrupt landed. And probably the memcg iteration uses a spin lock, which disables bottom half execution…

I think your comment is describing something slightly different from incentives: the criteria for granting power and control to some individuals rather than others. There may be in…

Clearly this is for high concurrency cases where there are many people racing to get all the available items. It's not clear that it's in shopifys or the sellers interest to let it…

In my recent experience it seems to be a contextual issue. Llms are constantly being dropped into new situations where they have to rediscover high level and cross cutting informat…

I feel like I learned something from this about the high level need and attributes of the schmitt trigger design. But I'm sure I'd need to read the actual my sources to realize the…

I've been a systems dev for a long time and have debugged many such tricky issues before. Even on teams of experts, this type of issue would take someone really capable weeks to tr…

The other part is that almost no one would have the energy to spend hours instrumenting and rebuilding musl, reading the kernel mm code, and thinking hard about how they might inte…

I was arguing with a friend about this point today. I'd posit that our economy has been growing in a way where goods that require more human time and natural resources to produce a…

I work on systems code that is tricky to write, but with a good test harness. Being able to leave the agent unattended to try several paths when I'm generating the first draft of s…

I wonder if it's the same behavior as copilot cli. I dug into it when I got annoyed and found that there's a fundamental tension between rendering the cell based UI and supporting …

I disagree. For example, the Wright brothers did air foil engineering empirically without full knowledge of the underlying fluid mechanics. Early and innovative engineering will of…

I wonder how they ensure durability. Is it possible that a cell going down would roll back a payment after it has occurred. Or do they depend on a non cell database?

Another way around this is that things that aren't coherent enough to be described by a finite set of inertial propositions simply aren't perceivable.

I just joined a new team and have been using copilot with opus models. We have our core code in a weird dialect of C and rust. C I know well, but not rust. Our tests are in Python.…

How does release management work? Are there stable branches for deployed properties with a cheery pick approach for bug fixes? Are all products in google3 on a coordinated set of r…

I think intuition is what is developed through calibration, so I personally like the word calibration. Intuition and other forms of knowledge are stock quantities while calibration…

Aren't pipelines even easier to target and destroy than boats?

Speculating: local ssds aren't as valuable in the cloud since they're effectively ephemeral. If the instance restarts, it would lose its storage. Trying to keep a workload affiniti…

If you want recognize all the common patterns, the code can get very verbose. But it's all still just one analysis or transformation, so it would be artificial to split into multip…

https://www.anthropic.com/news/analysis-tool Seems like they already built this capability.

From the previous article in the series, it looks like the biggest impediment to just using full llvm to compile the query is that they didn't find a good way to cache the results …

Looks like the ampersands appear in menu items to indicate the keyboard shortcut key to navigate to that item. https://willus.com/mingw/colinp/win32/resources/menu.html

Yes, they did have the bug with the lock prefix. IOT people at Microsoft got NT booting on the Quark and we ran into that problem. I wound up writing a small tool to patch out all …
