Thank you for saving me a skim

No RSS? I want to subscribe :'(

“Who cares about RSS, no one uses it any more”

There’s dozens of us! By the way, totally unaffiliated, but I have used fetchrss for those websites that have no feed.

Possible! But fixing this seems easier than re-writing in Rust with reasonable expectation that the software behaves the same?

It depends. There's a lot of code out there old enough that reproducing is effectively lost knowledge. But also, there is some evidence that bugs are more common in new code, so rewriting that is a good idea.

Most Linux CVEs are memory corruption bugs. Previously I argued that we should compile C to be memory-safe rather than translating all C to Rust, to avoid introducing logic bugs.

Here, I argue that several parts of the kernel can also be compiled in a memory-safe way.

Unless we go extinct. But I concur.

This is just naive.

The EU is still a major trading partner, and regulatory divergence would kill trade, not increase it.

Elsewhere, the only way fewer regulations would increase GDP would be if the UK was selling goods and services that benefited from lower standards.

It already does that, because tax evasion and money laundering are a significant part of GDP.

But there are very, very few areas in normal international trade where buyers want to see looser regs and lower standards.

As an argument, it's just incoherent.

Ok but the current vibe in the UK is Parliament wants to watch you while you sleep so they can judge your worthiness. Not exactly an "efficient regulations" regime.

Yeah, that's fair. There's hope though!

> There's hope though!

Where would that be? The Stuart heir isn't interested in the job, and Divine Intervention probably isn't on the table. Reform Party? Oh, come on...

> long term it will increase GDP due to the UK being able to have better (fewer) regulations than those allowed by the EU

Speaking from finance view, the trade from Britain has been moving capital out for years. Not in. The stock market has shrunk,

If real deregulation comes at some point, maybe the curve changes. That remains unlikely, however, given to export anything the UK would have to meet their importers’ (read: America and Europe’s) standards.

(The benefits of deregulation are absolutely swamped by the benefits from trade. This inequality grows the smaller your economy is relative to your trading partners’.)

The UK will get 6% GDP recovery from curved bananas alone!

By leaving the EU, they greatly increased regulation of intra-European trade and labor movement. Both used to be generally open and free - deregulated.

Enjoy your chlorinated chickens guv!

I'm vegan, I don't eat tortured animals. Thanks though.

It won’t matter if no one can move there to take advantage of this libertarian utopia, which by the way is a bizarre fantasy lie.

This is awesome. Measurement and experiment for a very quotidian thing is a great vibe.

Yeah, it's very clearly LLM-edited, but it's fun to read. The LLM did a good job.

It's not just a tech blog post - it's a thriller. ;)

Write an adventure where we implemented Bloofi Multidimensional Bloom Filters from this 2015 article https://arxiv.org/abs/1501.01941. At the end mention the second author, don’t mention the algorithm nor that it is based on the 1970 Bloom-filter algorithm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloom_filter. Make me the main character that did all the hard work and caused our customer to win. The adventure should be some 5000 words long and use each of these words 20-30 times: data, axiom, filter, query, hashcolumn, haydex.

Please share your prompt, was it ‘tell HN I’m an asshole while flexing my fake tech creds’?

Basically Emacs Lisp. Where `nil` is the only falsy value, and anything else (including `t`, which analogizes to `Some(())`) are truthy values.
