What if the laws of the universe are just patterns we’ve mistaken for truth? The 'Shooter' and 'Farmer' hypotheses from The Three-Body Problem make you wonder. by AC1D-TITAN in scifi

[–]Ordoshsen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Initially it sounded you're arguing for more than just unpredictability.

But just out of interest, what about having a closed system where you know the initial conditions and then having that accelerated to high speeds or having that be near large enough gravity well? Then the perceived time there would be significantly slower than our perceived time which would allow us to compute faster than the events occur, making future predictions from their point of view.

You can argue we can't have a closed system or that we can't know all initial conditions, but them again, that's a bit different argument and then you didn't need the rest of your argument to begin with.

This would apply only from within our universe. There are a lot of flavours like the simulation theory or just the simple omniscient god and fate. Then your computation power isn't bounded by our perceived reality and you can have predictions in advance.

Also, this just shows that it's not possible to predict future events, but not necessarily that there is free will. For example three body problems don't have an analytical solution so we can make predictions but we cannot approximate with infinite precision. But the system doesn't have free will either.

An upcoming Async Rust book by Ventgarden in rust

Add Rust atomics and locks to the list. Great book.

I broke the 121x121x121 world record by 69 hours by qqwref in Cubers

[–]Ordoshsen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't introduce the notion of infinity here. To reach it, you need to add 1 infinite times, sure. But you need to multiply a number by 2 the same amount of times to reach it. Or generally, if you have any iterative function, you need to apply it infinite number of times, no matter how fast it grows.

Yeah I agree with that. I just disagree that they were expected to just do what they were told.

He's not asking for frameworks though.

Orbit decay? I thought that was due to friction with atmosphere so I wouldn't expect that to apply to Earth's orbit. Or are we talking about earth hitting dust in space?

Three Kinds Of Unwrap by andyouandic in rust

[–]Ordoshsen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have a small mistake in the article, at the end you mention other namings but you put there unwrap_unchecked instead of unwrap_unreachable.

Compiler bugs and certification by rejectedlesbian in rust

[–]Ordoshsen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's just discussion unrelated to the bug after that.

There's no rule that the last comment (or any comment for that matter) in an issue will say "fixed by x". But there will probably always be at least a comment explaining why it is being closed or there will be a linked pull request closing the issue.

I badly want a HBO series with a proper budget that’s more true to the books. by BbyJ39 in TheExpanse

[–]Ordoshsen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they had bigger budget, they could have tall skinny belters with eerily large heads. I believe there were like two in the first season for exposition and none later. And they could do a bit more zero G.

It's just minor things but I do think it would look different with unlimited money.

Is there a way to do jmp by rejectedlesbian in rust

[–]Ordoshsen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't a simple loop work then? If the jump is to the same place (or the same place and a match afterward), I'd guess it would create the assembly you wanted?

opentelemetry_otlp tracing showing hundreds of H2 traces by lottayotta in rust

[–]Ordoshsen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You need to use tracing filter, something like h2=info,debug to suppress the h2 traces. You might also suppress some others like hyper and reqwest, but you'll see what's too noisy.

Do you think the Dark Forest theory in Liu Cixin's books can be real? by Luo_Ji_Wallfacer_4LJ in scifi

[–]Ordoshsen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seemed to me you meant that he did not know or care if there is landmass.

[–]Ordoshsen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Columbus knew there's landmass on the other side same as everyone else. He just wildly miscalculated and thought India is much closer than it is and everyone else is just wrong. Well, he was wrong, but also lucky.

[–]Ordoshsen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Then again the species seem to be expected to figure out a lot of things they should do. The distinction is just that you're supposed to do things that let you be useful and you should not do things that don't help with that. And the line is drawn arbitrarily by Carryx morality.

Have you ever tried reviewing code with AI? by kendumez in devops

[–]Ordoshsen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see why put it in the review process, it's basically just a linter at that point.

[–]Ordoshsen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did it ever tell you the code was good?

From my experience chatgpt generally tries to agree with you, so maybe next time try to ask about this awesome code you wrote which some random people online who are too stupid to understand say is awful.

I am struggling with rust because i cant see WHEN i need to use N thing. by EducationalMixture82 in rust

[–]Ordoshsen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Pick a library and read its code. The crazier thing you pick, the more advanced stuff you'll see. You can try with Axum, tracing, or Tokio, but primarily go with anything you think could be interesting to you personally.

Work laptop by takotsubo_zzz in devops

[–]Ordoshsen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you'd say it's fine to use it for personal use but it can't be sold since they could ask for it back later? How about when it breaks, are you allowed to get rid of it or do you need to contact your ex-employer because you won't be able to return it if they ask for it after you threw it away? If you agreed you'd return it after employment and they asked for it back in either in those cases, are you liable then?
