That's the point of the challenge: "are there unknown properties of models allowing us to construct a poison for any network given enough input-output pairs". The very point of CS …

Linux the kernel is fundamentally inferior to NT from 30 years ago, Linux the userspace is barely tolerable, Linux as an ecosystem is an amateur clownshow barely held together by c…

Sometimes having a good kernel matters more than having a good userspace.

That's... definitely a way to describe Sean Barrett, whose excellent libraries popularized this style.

Zero accountability. Which proves yet again that accountability is the final frontier.

That, uh, says a lot about Google, doesn't it?

Take a look at Github accounts of people pushing it, and you will see a clear pattern - it works, apparently, for a _very_ specific subset of people.

Why would I want to write a C++ parser? IDL/DDL is the source of truth, moving the type definitions there is the whole point. There is only one definition for each type, which is i…

If you would check my comments, you would see I am quite aware. And no, it will not, just like it was with streams, ranges and whatever else.

Which problem would this solve for them?

Well, either you carefully vet which C++ features you use and my assumption still stands, or you don't - in which case I would rather not like to work in your company.

Which use cases? What exactly you can do with "existing metaprogramming facilities"?

Reframe it as "you can do precisely what you need by generating code" and there is your answer. Which is far better than to rely on a party which, as I said, has precisely nothing …

Whip up some kind of in-house IDL/DDL parser, codegen from that. Which, precisely, additions do not fit my points?

It's the other way around. You are the real programmer and the committee and the "modern C++" crowd are more interested playing with legos instead of shipping actual software. No w…

Sure, it took only what, 40 years of intensive hardware improvements* for assembly to move to the fringe? And we still reach out to it more often that I would like to because reaso…

Rust is - by design - antithetical to pretty much every idea of rapid application development paradigm Delphi/VCL and to lesser extent Qt adhere to. It doesn't matter how many of R…

LLVM is basically a resource pool for C++ compiler development. As such, it is highly C++ specific and leaks C++ semantics everywhere. It's especially funny when this happens in Ru…

It seems the community is severely overexposed to bad practices and implementations of OOP and conversely severely underexposed to the success stories. 153 comments as of time of w…

That's one part of it, yes. A browser API providing a few GBs of persistent storage with proper isolation and user management, obviously with some kind of compression/decompression…

WebGPU is supposed to be properly sandboxed. The bigger issue is that WebGPU is basically dead on arrival for the same reasons WebGL is - it is impossible to get enough data to the…

Could you please tell what languages and technologies other teams use? Comparison statements are meaningless if there's nothing to compare to.

Build confidence _and then_ just be yourself. Because if you lack confidence in yourself, how can you convince another person to have confidence in you?
