"linear" here means that the usual narrative is

hunter-gatherers → agriculture → permanent settlements → cities → states → civilization

the usual reasoning is

agriculture → surplus → settlement → religion/monumental architecture

it's not at all about civilizations and/or empires collapsing and being reborn in different shapes or social and economic reforms being rediscovered, that already implies some highly sofisticated form of society, while places like Göbekli Tepe predates the pyramids by 5.000 years

> It’s a lot like guilt by association

What would you think of someone who works for KGB (now FSB) and propagandizes the values of USSR (or modern Russia)?

secondly: CIA job is exactly promote the image of a "liberal, nonviolent and honorable” agency, while killing thousands people to overthrown elected governments just because uncle Sam did not like them...

As I've said before, I strongly disagree, but what I read is that he calls for the removal of those behaving in a way that (in his opinion) make the city of Copenhagen less safe, or at least that change the perceived security of the people living there.

Gypsies create issues almost everywhere in Europe, but it's not based on ethnicity, most of the ethnic Roma are fully integrated, some of them are not, in Italy many Sinte families are linked to mob and criminality in general.

Do they deserve special treatment because of their ethnicity?

And what if they are not regular citizens?

It's an open problem, DHH's solutions it's absolutely not my solution, but there's a still a difference between what he said and calling for ethnic cleansing.

> drink driving may kill a lot of people, but it also helps a lot of people get to work on time, so, it;s impossible to say if its bad or not,

that's a non sequitur

"that guy is not against driving under the influence, but he also always wears seatbelts and always respects speed limits" FTFY

I don't think he's been literal about ethnic cleansing, even though I strongly disagree with his political views on the matter.

Anyway, he also supports open weights models, which IMO is a good thing.

So maybe separate the artist from the art? He's not running for elections, that's for sure, so as a citizen he can have the political views he likes, doesn't mean the software is bad because of them.

> Also happens with plain c and the "pay attention" method.

not really

there are decades of well known practices to basically cover every possible scenario

the point is Rust doesn't allow to write certain kinds of code or use certain patterns

it's the cost of the boilerplate

it's not that it is hard, it's that it is tedious

and if we throw LLM at the problem, well, we're not talking about 100% safety anymore

> Rust has shown that extensive safety checks can be applied at compile time with zero runtime overhead.

at the cost of developing time and workarounds overhead.

> And, if it's not possible to prove this statically - you should be heavily questioning the security of that code.

or that's exactly the compromise that allows you to develop that software

there is no 100% safety with zero overhead

it is not possible

> For context, my username is very obviously feminine and I don't hide the fact that I'm a woman when talking to strangers.

It still doesn't mean anything

I've been doing it for over 20 years, but I am not a woman.

A woman (or a man, or whatever there might be in between) does only exists if it actually exists.

It doesn't exist on the fact that someone said "I am (such and such)"
