I'm improvising here, but if pins can be switched from read to write (but can only be in one of those at a time), then in Rust you should be able to use the borrow checker to provide additional guarantees. As long as a pin is borrowed by a ReadPin, you can't create a WritePin, and viceversa.

As you say, you can use the same approach in C++, but this is one reason why the approach is extra interesting in Rust.
That argument makes no sense. IQ is something that we have created a scale for, that correlates with lots of life outcomes (as well as being useful in predicting school success, which was the original goal).

Wealth is not a feature internal to an individual, it's something defined by a society/particular social structure and as such, it doesn't make a lot of sense to compare it to IQ (an individual difference variable measured by a test).
You can scan the same QR code with multiple devices or (less secure but mayve reasonable) save the code somehow.

Some apps also let you export the token (but definitely not Google Authenticator, that app's data doesn't even get backed up).
overall, very good comment. one small contention would be that IQ has its limits.

as a high-iq plebe, i've known many patricians. i could crush all of them on school-work, yet most of them would easily best me when it comes to wisdom and life-choices.

in other words, i wouldn't be so sure about whose reputation is being laundered here.
Thanks for the thoughts.

But i think the law is to harsh and actually can even destroy that piece from existing for being too severe over the copies of that work.

For movies or music for instance, something like 3 year period of copyright ownership would be fine.

People would still pay for first access to the piece, while it would be much more likely to find a copy after lets say, 100 years somewhere.

I was just thinking that, if X.org truly were abandonware (I have no basis to accept or reject the opinion reported in this article), OpenBSD becomes a bit of a haven.

My understanding is that Wayland does address some security issues in X11, but that Xenocara (OpenBSD’s branch of Xorg) also attempts to address the security of X11 in a way that integrates with the rest of OpenBSD’s security mitigations.

OpenBSD is a great example of actively developed software that has exceptionally good taste when it comes to change. It’s not that OpenBSD never changes; it’s that OpenBSD only makes changes that feel organic 20 seconds after you experience them.
Wayland has nothing to do with GLES, and some compositors support pixman-based rendering similar to Xorg on embedded devices.

This might just be my greatest fear, does anyone else have any great advice on this? I really enjoy multitasking and it feels pretty terrible when I just cook and nothing else, is there a good way of escaping this mindset except just grinding away?
Um...I have close, personal, and intimate relationships with many people that suffer from mental illness, and have had this for decades.

I do a lot of "extracurricular" work, trying to help folks get back on their feet.

So, not academic. Personal.

> Because in the real world, the therapy method I have mostly seen, was and is keeping people calm with pills.

I consider that offensive. It's a fairly classic "strawman" argument that is used to "dehumanize" people that suffer from mental illness, and also dehumanize people trying to help them. I know many people that would be in very dire straits, if not for medication, therapy, and many years of hard work.

I'm pretty upset by this, and by the reactions.

I am not a therapist. Just someone with "skin in the game."

These aren't "data points." These are people, and chances are good that we all have folks in our orbit that have mental health issues.
Medical records are PII.

Do you mean store without names? The conditions, times, places, etc, are inherently PII themselves.

My wife gave birth on a given day in a given hospital. She also broke her ankle once. No names, but record uniquely identified.
Of course it does, just like video-based remote desktop systems work great these days.

That's the point, X's claimed advantages here long since stopped existing, and nobody noticed because the "inferior" approach is perfectly fine with modern internet connectivity.
> Personally I find VSC's performance to be good, and at lot of other devs find it at least good enough (it's a widespread editor).

That's a part of the problem. We're so used to web apps that many of us just learned to live with constant delays and simply treat it as a part of our lives.
Countries are not people (they are made of people). Punishing them makes little sense. If one wants a country to behave some way, one should think of how to make it happen, and what's the cost to everyone involved.

Sanctions should never be part of a punitive system, which at the level of a whole country is inevitably unjust. They should only be part of an incentive system, where you hope to steer the other country to the direction you want. Looked at it this way, we wouldn't ask ourselves whether sanctions are warranted. We'd ask ourselves how effective they are.

Oh, and there's this question of whether a country should have the right to influence another country to begin with. Not gonna answer that one here.
I raise you South America, where we have low income, high taxes and public healthcare which barely works so we usually end up paying for private healthcare too. Pretty much the same with education too.
Sounds very much like what FreeBSD (and Solaris) does with its ithreads, except that ithreads are for most interrupts, and not just network interrupts.
One factor to consider is long term stability, an area where web dev works very differently from embedded devices.

Embedded code is often tied to a specific hardware device. I maintain code that was originally written almost 20 years ago.

I'm extremely conservative in my technological choices for this reason. Whatever I'm using today needs to keep working if I (or my successors) have to unearth the project in 10 years.

And you're right that the vendor-provided tools are often pretty bad, but that's one of the main reasons I personally don't care for IDEs and deep integration with the environment. FZF works reliably everywhere, dummy (non-syntax aware) completion works reliably everywhere etc...

Would I be more productive with fancy-pansy code completion? Probably a little bit. But having a simple, agnostic, portable and stable development environment is well worth the trade-off IMO.

Not that I think that people are wrong for preferring IDEs, they're just a different set of trade-offs.
I think it depends. 60 min fast evening walk with your spouse could count as a light workout. I wouldn't count as a wasted time because you're walking, having fresh air and working out at the same time.

If you take a car ride, that time may be considered as wasted.
Jag äger en segelbåt. ;)

Yes, and the maximum fine is 20M€. It'll probably be quite enough to take them down. The individual payouts of any lawsuits would probably end up as five-figure numbers, so if the hacker is telling the truth about then we'd end up with at least 400M€, which in my opinion is quite insane by Finnish standards. The number of victims here is quite insane after all.
>Unless your argument is, it's not evil if we all voted for it?

This has nothing to do with good and evil which seems to be a point you're missing. It's about risk of coercion to employees of companies. The US government could be turning babies into hand bags but if it doesn't coerce it's residents into acting against their employers then it doesn't create a risk for companies.

edit: Seriously, this was all in the original sentence that you people keep cherry picking from.
This is a great question! You probably took one of the Raven's matrices, which are a culture-blind test of g (the presumed construct underlying IQ).

Essentially, each new test is normed against the previous tests, so the Stanford-Binet test would have been the first, and then when a new measure is developed, we'd administer both tests to a sample (hopefully many samples) and use the correlation between the tests to determine whether or not or new test worked.

It's not really a great method, but it's the best we've got for most individual difference variables.
Aside: it's interesting to think about the legal ramifications of copyrights in the face of AI. If my AI model "reads" a bunch of text, is the model now a "derived work" of the copyrighted work? Perhaps. But of course humans don't infringe when they watch/listen/read a copyrighted work and it changes their state of mind. Perhaps the model can be said not to infringe if it sufficiently abstracts concepts of the art in question. Typically when tuning a model we include lots of counter-cases to avoid overfitting - to make sure that the model is indeed abstracting concepts.
> When does this become an issue when you and Caterpillar have regulatory obligations for the operations of that equipment with regard to emissions, OSHA, MSHA, etc... ?

why would this be an issue for software, but not for the car-modding business ? if you can "trivially" find the materials and guides to add a turbo to your car engine (https://www.torquecars.com/tuning/adding-turbo.php), it's very hypocritical to mandate different rules for software running inside of it.

But seriously, our culture and society are different now in lots of ways, for better and worse. And larger, and more diverse.

The economy is different. Society is different.
You're right, I forgot about race- I forgot how much of the "controversy" around IQ is about race. A lot is, because many of the people who did the early groundwork on statistical techniques that are used today in extracting conclusions from IQ data were hell-bent on categorising "races" according to their intellectual ability, with the white race usually either at the pinnacle, or close, of the hierarchy and with the "negro" "race" at the very bottom. People like Karl Pearson (of the Pearson correlation coefficient), Francis Galton (who coined the term "eugenics"), Ronald Fisher (head of eugenics at University College London in his time), and others.

But all that and a lot more is discussed in Stephen J. Gould's The Mismeasurement of Man, a text to read before reading random posts with graphs on the internets.
in NYC i would try to walk everywhere. just a great time in the morning and back home to contemplate diff things or work through solutions. now w/ covid i'm out of the city and in the burbs temporarily, but thankfully there's a park nearby that i can stroll too.

one thing that was interesting was that i had traveled to another country a few months after NYC went to lockdown (so i was basically inside all day). after 2 weeks in quarantine i walked around the new city for the whole day and was suuper sore the next day, which surprised me. i think we take for granted the benefits of it.
Since the code is in the public domain, I was wondering if I could fill a counter-notice myself claiming ownership of the code. If several people residing out of the US filled counter-notices, it would make it really hard for the RIAA to do anything.

That's so lame, basically it has nothing to do with free software and open source, you can still use them if you wish. in fact it is the corporations who are blocking us not the software!!!.

Moreover we have to point our fingers toward Iranian corrupt regime because they are bringing misery to the the people. We have to be asking this question every day: why on earth countries like japan or korea never get sanctioned. I guess the answer is simple
Great comment, thanks for sharing your info and ideas. I’m inferring from your second to last paragraph that you’re alluding to social media being somehow part (or all?) of the reason for those problems.

I totally agree. I think that we as a nation (US) (and possibly all over world) have a blind spot where social media, surveillance capitalism, and targeted ads are. The power of the algorithm is so strong that people truly believe they’re being recorded (the whole FB is listening because I got such and such ad).

Policy is always many years behind technology. My biggest concern is that this technology poses an existential threat to our current zeitgeist (?). I always trouble putting the threat into my own words.

But I can’t agree more. We need immediate transparency. And we need to study the cause and effect so we can better understand. That will lead to the best form of whatever regulation we may need to move to the next stage.
I guess that explains why Electron based apps don't feel as snappy as native ones.
Open source gives you freedom to fix it, to share fix, to hire to fix.

One possible counterpoint- sample based explanation techniques can tell what training data was most influential in a ML model's prediction, and this has been considered in language models[0]. So you could argue that if there are training examples within a corpus that are having an outsized influence on the model output, then maybe it is derivative. This would be pretty cool to look at - are some GPT or other language model outputs relying strongly on a few sources?

You didn't respond to the substance of my comment. It's possible for someone to misunderstand you and for you to lose your job over it. It's also possible to die in a traffic accident. The former is probably more rare than the latter but the former seems to be legitimately terrorizing many people based on the frequency of internet comments I see about it.
Likely yes, but at a cost they wouldn’t want to pay, because it will “burn” their ability to do this in cases they likely deem more important, such as those where lives and state security are directly threatened.

In the US, the NSA likely has enough data to solve 85% of all unsolved crime, and to prove innocence of 95% wrongly accused; but doing so would limit their future abolity to do so (and the ability to do their actual job) so they won’t.
Iran funds terrorism and is developing nuclear weapons and has a history of imperialism. Should Saudi Arabia be sanctioned too? I'd say so. Should we stop sanctioning Iran until then? no.
Thanks for the comment. I hadn't actually considered that i was "using techempower as a way to boost experimental projects" but i can understand you seeing it that way now that you have said it! =)

I've been working on this in my spare time for quite a while and one of the primary goals of the project is to be "fast" out of the box. I've been following and enjoying the Techempower reports since they started and set myself an initial goal of scoring well on it so I can use that as a performance baseline for further work. I've also seen a number of other experimental/early stage frameworks on there and didn't receive any pushback from the very kind folks at Techempower when I submitted it. I was clear with them about what it is: https://github.com/TechEmpower/FrameworkBenchmarks/pull/5969.

Re. calling it "JavaScript" - you do have a point as I am not keen on having to support the full API implemented in browsers. I see this very much as a server side only "toolkit" for folks who want to build fast network servers and other systems software and enjoy using Javascript and being able to take advantage of the amazing v8 engine and the huge base of existing JS code in the wild.

Thanks again.
I agree Mozilla screwed up. Especially in comparison to others such as Blender which managed to build something better than the proprietary alternatives by gathering fund through sponsors & donations without ever sacrificing their values such as the GPL openness and while keeping all the focus on Blender.

They even obtained a place at Khronos and have a voice on the future of compute & graphic standards.

I donate to Blender because I know that not a single cent is wasted.

Mozilla is the opposite, everything is wasted & there is no focus.

I would gladly donate to a new foundation for a browser that takes the same model as Blender, Godot, etc. : start small, stay focused & don't sacrifice your core values
I think the problem with Wayland is it isn't half-assed. The insistence on being a generic protocol instead of a product fragments an already small dev community. And being a protocol so incredibly slows down velocity.
To be fair, you made a claim that "mental health treatment has come an incredibly long way". And the only evidence you have offered to back that up is a vague personal anecdote.

The poster was simply providing their viewpoint on the state of mental health that differs from yours.

I understand these things can cause strong emotions, but you don't do yourself or your stance any favors by letting it get the best of you here.

Gnome is a fair comparison. Since it is the main comparison for many users, it is the most fair comparison.

> What the supreme court has said, is that if any decision is delegated to a vote, then that vote must meet constitutional muster.

Anything any government in the US does must meet Constitutional muster. I'd like you to cite the specific decision you think indicates that a decision to assign electors based on the national popular vote would not meet such muster.

> Using votes cast in another state to determine the results of what is a state election likely violates rights of voters within that state.

Based on...what? I mean, except that it has survived so far, I can see an argument to the bare Constitution that giving unequal voting power to different voters within the state, which the two to the statewide winner plus one to the winner in each Congressional district method clearly does, violates the 14th Amendment Equal Protection rights of the voters so disadvantaged. But I don't even see a Constitutional argument, much less actual voting rights precedent, that negatively impacts on NPV.

> It's essentially extrajudicial gerrymandering.

Gerrymandering is drawing legislative districts, which is normally “extrajudicial” (since federal districting is expressly a power of state legislatures, and state-level districting is usually also a power of the state legislature, not the judiciary.) And gerrymandering is often legal and in many cases not even subject to federal review. Rucho v. Common Cause, 588 U.S. ___ (2019).

So saying it's “extradjudicial gerrymandering” is all of false, adding meaningless qualifiers to make it sound significant, and not supporting your argument that it is unconstitutional.

> Separately, and coming from another angle- it likely violates the constitution's guarantee of a republican form of government.

How? Based on what argument and applicable precedent?
"That in turn had to do with convincing other people to take a chance on him and his script, and that gets you into a whole interpersonal area where the role of IQ is really controversial."

What? Essentially all of "success" (which IQ is correlated with) involves the "interpersonal area". If IQ isn't strongly related to successful interpersonal relations, something is broken somewhere.
I agree. Most of the "progress" seems to be shiny press releases about wonder drugs. Then you look at the literature and discover 5% effectiveness for ideal uses and serious side effects. It's very important to "seek help" but that doesn't mean any actually exists.

Given that the care provider is the owner of this data, not the users themselves, I think they are also a victim. If we want to continue this analogy it might be a victim that walked uninvited into a house with a big sign "you will be raped if you walk into my house", but is still a victim nevertheless. I do think that solely blaming the care provider for their failure to protect is incorrect because a non-victim can hardly file charges against the perpetrator.

Of course, I agree that the care provider also did something wrong (as well as the hacker(s)) and that the people are also victims, but "the people vs. the care provider" is a separate matter from "the care provider vs. the criminal".
