The beginning of the article talks about not learning APL--specifically mentions that he's not here to talk about APL--and proceeds into a wide-eyed dissection of the C without mentioning APL syntax again. It also doesn't, literally, say that the C is like APL; it says Arthur is an APL guy who writes weird C code. Another comment disagrees that this is APL style at all--which is it?? I think you could have given me more credit than this. I read the article and participated as best I could. I'm always happy to bump APL related articles so they get more visibility.

Consider the possibility he ran only because the alternative was a conviction for the DC case or the documents case. And that he is only interested in enriching himself, paying back the Stephen Millers and Russell Voughts who got him back in office, and playing golf.

It doesn't make it better or worse, it just means the policies aren't his but the agenda of various puppetteers.

It looks like a weirdo C convention to APLers too though. Whitney writes K that way, but single-line functions in particular aren't used a lot in production APL, and weren't even possible before dfns were introduced (the classic "tradfn" always starts with a header line). All the stuff like macros with implicit variable names, type punning, and ternary operators just doesn't exist in APL. And what APL's actually about, arithmetic and other primives that act on whole immutable arrays, is not part of the style at all!

It's not just the definition I use, it is the most common definition people use according to the records we keep.

And yes, someone who builds a system to generate Twitter content or maintains a coffee machine are definitely engineers.

Professional engineering societies don't like that fact and often try to usurp the term for their own financial gain, but that's not how English works. Definitions derive from use, not what a small group of people wish were so, and the record that keeps track of use is abundantly clear how the word is most commonly used.

That's never how layoffs are done. If you survive them your workload just increases and the employees picked are based on nothing or something arbitrary.

Then your company has a reputation for being unreliable for stable employment and people that can pick where they want to go will go else where. It also kills morale and remaining high performers will go somewhere else. Now the company laying off is stuck with low performers that don't have other options.

> Why the hostility?

Because the attempted name change is being done purely to stroke the ego of a right-wing authoritarian nationalist strongman. Attempts by such people to remake language according to their whims should be resisted whenever possible.

> It's not like they changed the name of the Black Sea to the Sea of Turkey.

I'm sure Erdogan would do just that if there were any realistic possibility that anybody would actually follow it. The "Türkiye" name change is as much as he thinks he can get away with.

That's mostly because English is one of the two official languages of India, and even the local native languages (at least as spoken by the English-educated middle class) are heavily influenced by English. Similar to how the Philippines are just called the Philippines (or Pilipinas, the closest approximation that is pronounceable in Tagalog), rather than a native-language name.

Would be cool to see cybersecurity covered here as well. I find it interesting how the machine learning engineer is exploding, but every engineer I talk to about it suggests these positions are mostly doing non-productive "bullshit" work and not really contributing much (arguably this applies to many tech jobs). Obviously that's anecdotal and probably not the real story, but it does seem like "machine learning engineer" is a broad term and probably doesn't tell the full story in itself.

> In addition to that they've invented sadistic religion with human sacrifices and their culture was very aggressive, what finally put Maya civilization to an end, as everyone around happily joined European conquerors to get rid of Mayans ASAP

That was the Aztec, an entirely different culture from the Mayans. The Mayan Kingdoms lasted until 1697.

I think we are getting to point where we are trying to figure how important is human experience to intelligence.

Things we do like sleep, meditate, have fun, listen to music etc. do they add to our intelligence? Do they help us have a consistent world model that we build on everyday?

Will we be able to replicate this is in a artificial neural net which is extremely smart in spurts but does not "enjoy" the world it operates in?

> A question to everyone unhappy paying for their insurance: would you be happier paying 50% income tax, 20% sales tax and not having to ever worry about paying for healthcare?

I hope it’s obvious that this is a false dichotomy.

There are many ways to have affordable health care that don’t involve “50% income tax, 20% sales tax”.

There is very good healthcare in places that don’t have those conditions. It’s not hard to find.

In the US, in most cases, incentives for the insurance companies and the insured are not aligned. Ditto for hospitals and patients. These are two very obvious systemic flaws in the US system that, if addressed in a constructive way, could have a significant impact on healthcare affordability.

Hi -- throwaway

I have seen this happen as well. A memory corruption vulnerability in popular software allows unpriv shellcode to reach out and drop a rootkit which loads a rat as a kernel module. Attacker has control. Several big problems.

cobaltstrike beacons blocked. Instead pierce nat with STUN to attacker proxy. Use socket activated VNC/RDP/X.

Why not just steal the sessions and local data? Remote services log access (ip, time, location), easily correlate and forensics would lead back. Local data encrypted at rest, hands on keyboard needed any way since recon incomplete. Are they planning to scan memory for ssh key unlocks or intercept ssh -sk key? This is big, noisy and take developer time. If you log in to a email this leave forensics and is a CFAA violation while risking FAANG security. Attacker needs to shoulder surf.

Most hack is install crypto mining or steal a password. Maybe it is ransom. How do you get 2fa code if you want access to sensitive information? How do you steal hardware keys? You can back door browser, MitB but it gets updated away and you lose access. back door anything and lose access or discovered.

This is not a advanced attacks but it is targeted attacks. People are saying x server never get hacked, but computers get hacked. with X11 the chain is Exploit -> Game over. with wayland you need to go farther.

The way I see it, if you are a hiring manager you are just going to talk to a HR person to screen this people for you actually. The majority of CV's that get to the Hiring Manager get filtered by non-technical HR people. Instead you have a tool that sumarizes the way you interact and think on a 20 min problem solving thingy. Imho I prefer to get a hold of this then having a HR person call me for 15 minutes and talk about my experience and stuff...

Hmm, and the outright deceitful and insidious nature of the post I was responding to? Where someone twists the facts in their very first sentence to hide the fact that the victims of that slaughter were themselves Muslim - just to justify an Islamophobic tirade for the remainder of their post ...

what do you call that? And how exactly does one counter such obvious lies of omission, without using the word "lying"?

"Sorry dear chap, but I believe you are intentionally hiding key facts here,namely the identity of the victims themselves"?

And btw, where was the flamebait? My 2nd paragraph is as close to a precise summary of what's actually happening as you can get, without hiding the identities of anyone involved.

Wow, this article resonated so much more than I expected when I clicked on it. Mostly because I have epilepsy without the stroke, and after decades of it being stable, around 2021 it got a bit harder to control and started to interfere with my daily living for the first time.

A couple points I'd add/double down on:

1. Find yourself a team of really good folks to work with who treat you as a human - At the peak of my epilepsy acutely interfering with my life, I was at a startup that, after being devastated by lockdowns, decided to scale down from 100 employees to 6 and start over. When I told the founder I'd need a month off twice within the span of 4 months for some very invasive surgeries, I fully expected him to let me go, as he was legally permitted. He told me to take all the time I needed, and for that I'll forever be indebted.

2. Avoid the urge to "other" yourself - the only brain we're exposed to 24/7 is our own. That makes it easy to lose track of what's baseline and easy to assume every time you forget something or otherwise "glitch," it's a sign you are flawed in ways others aren't. That's not true, everyone forgets things.

3. It takes time to recover emotionally - This week marks 3 years since my last big surgery, and I'm just past 2 since things started to really stabilize. Only in the last few months have I stopped walking around constantly viewing myself through the lens of a condition and with a sense of self-doubt and "othering". So be kind and patient with yourself. It takes time.

4. Reddit has some very supportive communities to help answer questions and remind you that you're not alone (including r/epilepsy). But don't get overly involved in them for too long, because then it becomes easy to define yourself and your tribe through your medical condition.

5. If epilepsy or some other condition prevents you from getting a driver's license, there's a lot to say for living in NYC or SF. Two of the only places in America where it's completely normal to live without a car and you wont stand out or feel excluded.

> or possessed of subjective experience in any measurable way

We don't know how to measure subjective experience in other people, even, other than via self-reporting, so this is a meaningless statement. Of course we don't know whether they are, and of course we can't measure it.

I also don't know for sure whether or not you are "possessed of subjective experience" as I can't measure it.

> What they are not is conscious

And this is equally meaningless without your definition of "conscious".

> It's possible those latter two parts can be solved, or approximated, by an LLM, but I am skeptical.

Unless we can find indications that humans can exceed the Turing computable - something we as of yet have no indication is even theoretically possible - there is no rational reason to think it can't.

Thanks for the feedback! One small bit of clarification, the framework would describe access to any sensitive system as part of the [B] circle, not only private systems or private data.

The intention is that an agent that has removed [B] can write state and communicate freely, but not with any systems that matter (wrt critical security outcomes for its user). An example of an agent in this state would be one that can take actions in a tight sandbox or is isolated from production.

This, or a miniaturized version thereof could change the game for light electric vehicles - imagine an electric motorcycle that weighs substantially more like an electric bicycle.

Right now it takes about 10-15lbs of motor to produce a 3KW motor for an electric bike, this motor is about 10 times that in power density afaict.

The Livewire electric motorcycles use something like 100-200 lbs of motor to produce 1/4 as much power, 75kw, so that’s an improvement of 8-16x.

(Yes the 50% is assumes full voter participation and no third party candidate, also it can be slightly less than this if you have an incomptent state and friendly Supreme Court.)

Mao is bad because he delayed the growth that China was capable of achieving and did achieve after Deng Xiaoping. 40 years after the communist revolution in 1990, China was still as poor as India per capita. In the 35 years since then, China became five times richer per capita than India. If the Chinese republicans had maintained power continuously since 1912, there's a good chance that China would be as developed as South Korea or Japan today.

It's valid to ask a similar question about the Americas. What would life be like for people today? It's probable that the Aztecs or their descendants would have taken over the Americans, since they were by far the most technologically superior. Would they have evolved into a prosperous industrialized society today?
