this is also an absurd scenario tho, since the frontier of mathematical exploration grows rather than shrinking as new discoveries are made and inevitably there will be matters the mechanical hypermathematicians haven't gotten around to yet, whatever their priorities are
if a future ai system got so incredibly good at math as to make human contribution to mathematics utterly useless by comparison i don't think abandoning the pursuit of mathematical knowledge would make sense for me personally tbh, i think id probably just ask the ai an incessant stream of questions

New post: a defense of lock poisoning in Rust.

Followup to recent discussion: decided to write about lock poisoning, looking at the arguments on each side, and informed by our experience at @oxide.computer dealing with the parallel problem of unexpected async cancellations

Please give it a read!
In defense of lock poisoning in Rust · sunshowers
It's worth retaining one of multithreaded Rust's most valuable features.

finishing that up, then moving on to the other components.

“Schemaless” and “self-describing” are the dynamic typing of data formats: you put more crap into the runtime representation, making it perform worse and in exchange you get worse reliability because errors are identified less reliably. Lose/lose

sorry i just want to circle back to

one more time. i don’t think you know what either of those animals are like. for one thing, a sheep will kill another over an insult way more readily than a wolf will

Avoiding this kind of shell script that doesn't work very well is exactly why async Rust is so incredibly powerful.

Nextest's signal handling is a cleanly designed part of the system that produces events consumed by the same event loops/actors as all other messages, thanks to async Rust

I thought the vscode ssh extension's automatic port forwarding feature was neat and assumed it was doing something smart like watching procfs but no it's looking for localhost URIs in stdout
