Sorry, I don't see how you arrive there from the fact-pattern. He wasn't a criminal because he never had a trial. He killed himself before he even had a hearing on whether the prosecution's evidence was admissible, much less his opportunity to either prove his innocence or argue the acts he undertook shouldn't by rights be a crime at all.

What should the government (executive or judicial) have done differently to balance the needs of the accused vs. the needs of the enforcement and adjudication of the law here?

In the wikipedia post you are replying to has the chemical composition of the surface of the planet, obviously we can't know what is beneath that, but to me, indicates this is closer to Pluto than it is to our Moon.

> Detailed spectroscopic analysis has revealed Sedna's surface to be a mixture of the solid ices of water (H2O),[15] carbon dioxide (CO2), and ethane (C2H6), along with occasional sedimentary deposits of methane (CH4)-derived,[16] vividly reddish-colored organic tholins,[15] a surface chemical makeup somewhat similar to those of other trans-Neptunian objects.[17]

I don't personally work on bot detection, and I don't know exactly what techniques they use.

But if you think about it: crawlers are probably not hard to identify, as they systematically download your entire web site as well as every other site on the internet (a significant fraction of which is on Cloudflare). This traffic pattern is obviously going to look extremely different from a web browser operated by a human. Honestly, this is probably one of the easiest kinds of bots to detect.

Elicit is an AI research assistant that uses language models to help researchers figure out what’s true and make better decisions. We scaled to >$6MM annual revenue and 450k MAU fast. We're hiring for multiple roles and are primarily interested in people with early-stage company experience, who are comfortable in high-agency, fast-paced teams.

Reasons you might want to join Elicit:

1. We have been thinking about how to apply AI for high-stakes knowledge work since even before GPT-1. Elicit was spun-out from Ought (https://ought.org/) which was an applied research lab.

2. If you're concerned about the potential downsides and risks of super-powerful AI: so are we! Happy to explain more of this story on a call, or you can also check e.g. https://ought.org/updates/2022-04-06-process for a primer.

3. We like spending time with each other, and have get-togethers every 6 weeks, but we're flexible on location.

Reasons you might not want to join Elicit:

1. We've found a level of product market fit (as evidenced by metrics) but we've not proven everything out yet. If you want predictability, Elicit is not for you.

2. We aim to hire people who thrive in low-bureaucracy environments, and let them loose. If you need structure, lots of support, close mentorship, or tightly-defined work assignments, Elicit is not for you.

It’s an important distinction because being fired suggests a fault on the part of the employee. Despite what you appear to suggest, there is no public information suggesting that this person was laid off for performance related reasons.

Again, what you think about Microsoft, or big tech companies in general, is completely irrelevant here. You’re spreading false information about someone. It would cost you nothing simply to stop doing it.

iPhone's other aspects would still remain comfortably locked down and strictly controlled for you by them if there was the opt in for those interested to have alternative ways of paying for subscriptions.

I could hardly believe you only pay through Apple for everything, I mean everything, as THE trustful, others are not trusted, not using other safe payment methods for some products due to security concerns. Not only Apple is secure in this regard.

As there are opt ins on iPhone for so many highly unsecure matters, you could share the most sensitive data with the individual apps with a flick if you wish (sharing personal and very sensitive data, sometimes personal data of others without their consent, like contacts) it is very hard to understand why this particular opt in is ringing your alarm bells of security irrevocably lost and get locked out completely ("impossible to purchase product") that hard....

You can have your choice of not choosing still, while Apple's product design would otherwise remain intact in its current form. Your arguments are very inconsistent.

I think this is literally it. I talk to so many people who claim up and down the US healthcare system is fine and I just think, "man, the only way you can think that is if it's all you've ever seen!"

Because it's not even about money, forget money. Everything in the US is hard. There's so many different steps, so much fighting, so many portals, so many hoops. So much friction to absolutely everything you do related to healthcare.

Even paying! You'd think the people taking your money would've figured out the fastest way to do that but nope, you're getting bills from the hospital 3 months later and there's a dozen of them for some reason.

I thought that might be true, but I interviewed 3-4 different companies and asked them all about this and told them I wanted the tax credit and they all told me the same story. My experience essentially parallels the article, but I would add one additional thing.

When you are making repairs on your house over $10k, and you interview the top contractors in your area with great reviews, very few 0 star reviews. They all say this technology is not really practical.

It’s really hard knowing that everyone is having a great experience having their home fixed by these contractors that all advise you not to do something, to turn around and hire someone who is registered as a Daikin reseller and has an unacceptable number of 1 star reviews.

Heat pump companies have to have decent partners in the field willing to sell their product before consumers are really going to risk spending so much money on their product.

Rather than counting error it’s likely the ~1 ton weight of stacking bills like this would deform the lower sections and possibly stress the glass depending on thickness. So rather than random filler there may be internal structural bracing so the outside of the cube looks nice and neat.

Simplest way to double check is if top and bottom corners have the same bill density.

Looking just at their physical-item distribution model, I'd imagine it's far more carbon-efficient than physically shopping.

Case 1: I drive to the store to get a widget. There is a low chance Store-1 doesn't have it, and I have to keep shopping. Regardless, I am driving about 30 minutes total, conservatively.

Case 2: I order a widget from Amazon. The Amazon driver organizes their stops to minimize travel time, and it's undoubtedly less than 30 minutes driving from the previous stop.

Both cases require transport of goods from factory to the final storage location (shopfront or Amazon warehouse), so the difference there is negligible.

In C#, there is Linq to SQL. Linq to SQL is an ORM. It does SQL code generation, even from user-provided code as long as it is in Linq Expressions form.

With DelegateDecompiler, you can turn native lambdas into Linq Expressions. (You just need to re-wrap the decompiled method body to remove the extra "this" parameter from the lambda). With this, you can write C# code, and it will generate SQL code.

I suppose "credit system" is indeed more accurate than "fee", it's just that I personally would set it at a flat rate and then stop thinking about it, so it would feel like a sort of admission-to-the-internet to me.

As for bandwidth and storage costs... that could just be rolled into the same attribution/payment scheme. If content is not propagating well because too few people are hosting it, then I'm ok with allocating some space and bandwidth to help distribute it. I don't think there's anything wrong with that so long as when it gets viewed, the creators still get the bulk of the credit and I only get a teensy bit for the part I played in distributing it.

The goal would be to mostly decouple the attribution/payment handling from the data handling so that it's as simple as seeding a torrent and it's the players/clients/whatever that handles giving credit. If I notice that I've got a leacher problem (whether as a creator or as a distributor) then maybe I revoke trust in the leachers and they stop getting the content from me.

I foreseen this a couple years ago. We already have web search tools in LLMs, and they are amazing when they chain multiple searches. But Spegel is a completely different take.

I think the ad blocker of the future will be a local LLM, small and efficient. Want to sort your timeline chronologically? Or want a different UI? Want some things removed, and others promoted? Hide low quality comments in a thread? All are possible with LLM in the middle, in either agent or proxy mode.

I bet this will be unpleasant for advertisers.

Location: BC Canada

Remote only : 10 years remote, 12 years experience

Technologies : C, C++, SIMD, OpenGL, WebGL, WASM, JS, TS

Interests : compilers, language runtimes, 2D & 3D graphics, performance

--------

Hello, my name is Jesse.

I'd describe myself as a competent generalist and a lifelong learner. I'm frequently working on something I've never done before.

My most recent professional experience has been about a year at a semiconductor startup where I wrote prototypes for a compiler and a cycle simulator.

One of my personal projects of ~10 years is a 3D game engine. Working on it has taught me a great deal about systems and graphics programming. It runs on Windows, Linux and Web (WASM/WebGL). I chose to build it without any libraries (barring the CRT for startup), which began as a learning exercise, but has taught me the value of simplicity.

I've also been working on a metaprogramming system for C & CPP. Think templates/constexpr, but significantly more ergonomic. It turns out I have a small passion for compilers. It currently generates many tens of thousands of lines of code for my game engine project including containers and an interactive realtime data visualization/editor.

On the optimization side of things, I recently wrote the world's fastest open-source AVX2 Perlin noise implementation, and wrote about the process on my blog. I beat the state-of-the-art by ~1.8x, which took me about two weeks.

That's the cliff-notes on my technical background. As a person I'm friendly and easy to get along with. I like the phrase "have strong opinions, weakly held". Outside of work I enjoy surfing, backcountry skiing, snowmobiling, rock-climbing and beer!

Cheers, Jesse

Reminds me of when Amazon came to Sweden and had machine translated product names - including for movies and games.

A friend showed me that the latest game I had worked on was hilariously mistranslated. It's originally "Need For Speed: Payback" but got translated to "behöver du hastighet: återbetalning" which would be more like "do you need speed: reimbursement"

Thanks! My wife and I have been discussing the deliberate effort needed to raise our child. I think your comment highlights the things we do want to do.

We just learned that several couples on our block will be having kids around the same time, so we are trying to initiate an annual block party during National Night Out to hopefully kick start the habit of building relationships with others in our neighborhood.

I think the kind of people, who in the past constructed extremely useful (if brittle) solutions with Excel, will be creating all sorts of AI bespoke and very useful tools.

It won't bother them at all what the code looks like under the hood. Not that the code will look worse that what an "average" developer produces. Claude and ChatGPT both write better code than most of the existing code I usually look at.

The military understands COMSEC well, but they are slow moving and the threat landscape is made unnecessarily intractable by relying on private industry who are willing to lie about security guarantees with few if any repercussions.

The issues we are having today are also the direct consequential result of collection in those treasure troves of security exploits; instead of fixing them, and their subsequent leaking.

Technically speaking for most common devices and software today, an AS# level attacker can transparently terminate encryption early to MITM with no indicator of compromise.

They can also disrupt interrupt driven communications with similar level of access (where a communication is strategically not sent without either parties awareness of the occurrence except as indirect after-action backscatter).

Princeton wrote a paper on it related to Tor back in 2014 iirc (the Raptor attack or something like that). The structure can easily be applied to more than just Tor, and that level of access would be quite valuable to well funded adversaries.

The incentives toward profit and power along with lack of liability for security, prevent many of the mfg companies involved from having effective security.

I can't remember where but there was a comment in either a talk or -con presentation where someone said the paper suggests TLS fails completely to these type of attacks; and there has been some speculation online as to if there is a connection between this and why leaked guidelines from various places say to never trust TLS.

The lack of security as an outcome can be seen as caused by government regulation mandates for the ISP industry, as thoroughly called out in this talk:

https://cyphercon.com/portfolio/exposing-the-threat-uncoveri...

You can find it available on youtube if they no longer have the direct link on the site.

Security has always had an issue with usability being compromised as security requirements increase. Organizations can't really compete on an even field with their competitors if the competitors have a technological edge because they happen to not be being attacked.

Per this site: https://home.treasury.gov/services/currency-and-coins

> "U.S currency is produced by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and U.S. coins are produced by the U.S. Mint. Both organizations are bureaus of the U.S. Department of the Treasury."

But even if this exhibit was at a U.S. Mint site, your assumption doesn't account for how the real world works. The people involved in planning, creating and operating a public exhibit space like this on behalf of some museum, department or company are just regular employees who report to mid-level managers with careers in facilities management. I'm not an expert but if this was a U.S. Mint site, I'd guess that the bills on display would be technically 'retired' (or whatever term they have for bills that are removed from circulation). Since the Federal Reserve is a quasi-governmental organization, I can't really guess if these bills are similarly retired or simply cash, the time-value of which this exhibit space is carrying on their balance sheet. Either way, based on the way the real world actually works, it's almost certain the cost of this cash is very precisely tracked and accounted for on an audited budget that some mid-level manager is responsible for balancing right alongside the payroll for ticket takers, security guards and janitorial.
