That seems fine on net since the public benefits massively.

If it turns out 5 isn't enough time to incentivize people to actually write books or make movies then maybe back to the original 14.

I don't know the specific policy answer that turns out to be enough time to keep the incentive, but I do know it isn't 95 years after the publication date or 70 years after the author's death.

> Their salaries are not that high.

> Their salaries are definitely up there but plenty of successful startups pay much more.

These two statements doesn't match up. Google pays extremely high wages. There are jobs that pay better, but mostly at companies that are like Google or very small companies. If you measure by number of jobs then I don't think there are more jobs at companies paying more than Google and Facebook than there are jobs at Google and Facebook. So if you want that level of pay Google and Facebook is the easiest way to get it, which also means that Google and Facebook will be the main target employers for many candidates.

The EV is the payoff times the probability. If there were only a 10% chance of paying (for example) treble damages without admitting guilt, then a company would take that bet repeatedly and the wins would more than pay for the losses.
Engines combustion is designed to occur as a propagating flame front in the cylinder initiated by the spark plug. Great efforts are made to ensure that this is precisely what happens.

The alternative is a detonation, i.e. engine knocking. This causes a spike in cylinder pressure and will quickly destroy an engine. It is for this reason that engines are absolutely not trying to burn fuel as quickly as possible.

This is a difference of detonation vs. deflagration. Whether you consider both of these to be forms of explosions is a semantic issue.

I give Dang credit - the guy clearly has good intensions and is working hard to make this a civil forum, but... sometimes I wonder if I've just gotten old and just need to go crawl under a rock somewhere, because the ability for people to have constructive and meaningful dialog here is seriously lacking.

> Blockchains, LLC to effectively form separate local governments in Nevada, governments that would carry the same authority as a county, including the ability to impose taxes, form school districts and justice courts and provide government services, to name a few duties.

I previously worked for Jeff Berns prior to their relocation to Sparks, NV, while this plan was being formulated.

Giving control of local government to Blockchains and Jeff Berns is... not a good idea. Jeff Berns is borderline delusional, off in the clouds, thinks ETH and blockchain are the solution to every problem, whether it exists or not, has awful business ideas, and treated his employees pretty poorly. Well, I mean, he was nice in person when he visited every 3 months. But the comp was flaming garbage, the office was crap, the management imcompetent and ineffective, he didn't give a shit what his employees thought. Everything in Jeff's company was complete and utter chaos. The products themselves were straight up idiotic, to be frank. The fact that Jeff had us abandon products after 3 months to start working on his next "big thing" didn't help, either.

Lastly, Jeff berns has spent a fortune hyping crpyto, because his real fortune IS crypto. The dude owns boatloads of BTC, BCH, ETC, ETH, and many more, and has since ETH was < $1. He is not altruistic. He is a man who believes that under his "guidance", humanity (his friends, really) can make great steps and he is using the crypto community to further his wealth and influence.

TL;DR: Jeff Berns and Blockchains, LLC belong as far away from political/governmental power as possible.
I agree WRT block structure, but having TA'd a Python course that "should" doesn't survive contact with a real world classroom. Students will use anything from IDLE to Notepad to PyCharm, and usually shut down completely instead of trying to work things out when the code snippet they've spliced into their program from StackOverflow fails to run because of mismatching indentation. I'm not sure why few try to understand the SyntaxError messages, but it's like they don't exist!

Part of me wants to forbid all "dumb" text editors for introductory programming courses and make everyone use an AST-based one that only allows you to create syntactically correct programs. Unfortunately there's zero chance of that happening any time soon...

Changes for the better will necessarily be extreme. If that weren't the case, we would have found a way to accomplish them already. Your "conservative" aunt won't like the changes we need any more than your "liberal" uncle will. News media firms are owned by people who like and propagandize in favor of the current system. It isn't important that all Americans like each other. In our current situation, 95% of Americans share certain interests even though they are culturally opposed. They could work together without liking each other.

After annoying powerful interests for decades, Martin Luther King Jr. finally tried to unite poor blacks with poor whites, not because they liked each other but because they shared common interests. He was assassinated within five months. TPTB can abide less racism, but not more class solidarity.
I don't know.

In the grand scheme of things, I don't like how much infrastructure technology giants control.

In this specific case, however, domain fronting is basically saying "if you want to ban me, you have to ban all of us", without asking if the rest of "us" consent to be put on the same boat.

It would be cool if they are, but it's perfectly understandable for them to disagree.
Nextdoor is horrible - rumors, low-quality posts, endless discussions of petty things. I deleted my account.
It's also mentioned explicitly, in plain language, in the privacy policy[0], which links to the whitepaper. This section, or something functionally equivalent has been present since (at least, that's as far back as you can check) 2014, still in plain language. The 2014 version links to a 2012 chromium blog post announcing that announced the fancy new field trials infrastructure[1]. Please stop lying about this it was not, and has not ever been "buried" or "undisclosed".

Of course, the privacy policy doesn't explain the precise methodology of how the telemetry is sent, so there's no "oh its done via an http header", because it's a nontechnical explanation with the goal of informing users how their data is being used, and not of giving them details of the method.

You are certainly correct about the costs of losing access to the source code, e.g., if it were destroyed.

However, it seems the author was discussing a different meaning of "lost", as in loss of control of the source and having it revealed to the outside world. He made the best arguments I've seen that the bulk of it is worthless to anyone else, who would be better off rolling their own from scratch, and provided a good example.

Indeed, if I were working a problem and somehow ethically came into possession of a competitor's code or product (e.g., via a buyout), the only use I'd put it to would be to try to see if they had any unique insights that we could adapt, and maybe some stand-alone chunks to use. And, indeed, that was the fate of a codebase of which I was quite proud when a company I co-founded got bought.

Teams also supports this well.

I kind of assumed it wouldn't work well before trying it, perhaps due to the lingering "mobile devices are low powered devices" stigma. In reality my iPhone can run full AR apps (meaning running the camera and a 3D rendering engine) and stream them to a Teams meeting without breaking a sweat. I wasn't even anxious about plugging in.
Adding onto this, numerical derivatives have two potential problems which is why they tend not to be used in big scientific/ML frameworks.

First of all they suffer from accuracy decay. For example if you were to do the standard f'(x) \approx [f(x+h)-f(x)]/h, you'd subtract two similar numbers and waste many bits of precision. In contrast if you were to generate the derivative function directly like below, you'd end up far more accurate.

double square(double x) { return x * x; }

double d_square(double x) { return __enzyme_autodiff(square, x); }

becomes

double d_square(double x) { return 2 * x; }

Secondly, from a performance perspective numerical differentiation is really slow -- especially for gradient computation. For example you would need to evaluate the function at once per argument in numeric differentiation to get the whole gradient. In contrast, reverse mode AD lets you generate the entire gradient in one call.

In addition to these generic issues, we illustrate in our paper how doing this at a compiler level allows for significant additional optimization (by removing unnecessary code from the forward pass, finding common expressions, etc).

These issues also are amplified as you make higher-order derivatives and so on.

QA Bug Report: If the blockchain server farm itself catches fire the request will never process.

Response: Edge case, will never happen. Closed NOFIX.
If a company has 200+ developers already working on a 10-year-old codebase in the language, then the word "just" has a lot of heavy lifting to do in that question.
This makes me wonder about a lot of "how will this work" questions. For example will it legally require 100% of taxation be used to provide services, or will taxation become profit center for the owning company?

Another is will they be required to follow certain laws that municipalities are required to operate under? For instance, here in NM it is illegal for a quorum of the governing body to meet without 72 hour advance public notification and agenda and no item may be considered if it is not in that agenda.

And of course the whole statement that the company will have significant say in the makeup of the 3-person board. What exactly does that mean? Can only company approved people run for office? Is this watering down representative democracy? I don't know because for stuff like this, the devil is in the details. (and what happens when the company becomes insolvent?)

There's always a following distance set when AP is on.

Though I don't trust AP in the right lane on the highway. When an extra lane forms (such as to become an exit lane), as the current lane widens, the car meanders a bit as it tries to stay between the widening lines. Then when the new dashed line appears in the middle, it will either lurch to one side, or in some cases beep at me to take control. Neither are something I can nap through.

Left lane though? Could definitely nap there, unless you enter a construction zone or there's a rare left exit. You'd upset some people for camping the left lane, which is illegal in some states.
`addable` might be too broad. It describes the implementation, but not the intent.

If you know that x is only ever an int then you can safely change the implementation to `return 2 * x`. Sometimes constraints give you extra possibilities.

I read this and wonder "have you test driven one". The driving experience Tesla offered from just the EV drivetrain alone, not even all the software gadgetry, was so different that anything any ICE luxury car offered that it was immediately apparent.

It was technology. It was cutting edge. The potential was instantly and tangibly apparent.

There was definitely an "early adopter" feel to it as well. But you were hopping onto something fundamentally different that yet another turbocharged BMW with 400HP and leather.

I guess you either drive in one and get that feeling, or, well, you don't.

People looking to spend a lot of money on a car that isn't used are going to look for something that justifies the cost. A lot of people look at BMWs and think that's a waste of money, you can get a used german auto, a cadillac, or similar. The Tesla has instant differentiation.

Sure the big companies are talking a big game about getting into EVs...

People trump up Rivian and Lucid as "they'll show them how its done". Ditto with Porsche, even though I have great faith in their engineers eventually.

With whose battery factories? You could say the same about Lucid, VW, GM, Hummer, Cadillac. VW is at least starting on this, as is the EU, but they are behind.

It's like a small group of knights walking up to an army challenging them to a fight. Sure they may have slightly better armor and weapons, but an army is .. an army, and they get to say "you and what battery factory?"

I used to think that the possibility for solid state batteries would close the gap overnight, but I suspect that steady progress on lithium ion cells will simply match/outpace any headline splashing battery tech.

Tesla still has a big big lead in the battery, drivetrain, and architecture over the new players. The chinese companies are likely the biggest competition over the next 10 years.

Aside from VW, I don't have faith the execs will follow through on what is at least a decade long push. They're all just dabbling, and we'll see what happens when activist investors, earnings misses, stock options lost, and CEO turnover happens.

This is a nonsense response. You'd have to be craven to suggest that holding any politician from any party or ideology as being responsible for their actions and policies is "assume the worst under all circumstances." I see no possibility of meaningful exchange of ideas here. Best.

The policies have had a massive cost countable in deaths and misery. Those who advanced those policies have to deny that consequence or resign. They deny like weak politicians. I don't believe them. I'm not alone among people who would much rather be noting their successes.

If the long wait between really was a good bet with limited downside and not yet another big risk I would be so relieved. That wasn't the way it was reported at the time.

If you take one thing to understand about this point of view I am expressing make it this:

Being conservative about risk with decisions where countless lives are at stake is a good thing. Gambling and winning does not retropsectively make it a good decision.

What I have seen in the wild is that in dynamic languages programs end up being "stringly" typed, where a mistyped string in the program results in an error, and programs needlessly rely on array positioning.

ML languages that support variants eliminate these unnecessary errors are no cost to runtime performance.

What problems have you encountered where a ML system couldn't represent things better than primitive type system? The two things that come to my mind are when the program has to accept arbitrary user input (strings), and writing an extremely expressive program i.e. a lisp interpreter with support for variable argument length functions. Even in these cases, I think the guarantees around the messy sections help with refactoring and my general sanity.
This proposal seems to encourage "pump-and-dump" schemes to an even greater extent. Whoever gets left holding the bag will end up with shares worth negative dollars?

We saw last week how bad it is to hold excessively large short positions. This proposal would effectively make long positions have unlimited downside risk as well. I think it would have extremely deleterious effects on investment and the bad actors would still find ways to avoid the downside by leaving other shareholders holding "the bag."
I gave up on NextDoor after one day. I subscribe to 2 local daily papers. I get a wider range of news and the awareness of local events/new restaurants than I do online (where my news consumption is 90% via RSS (innoreader, excellent app btw)).

I've found that since covid, the local papers have done some impressive longform deep dive stories (science, health, human interest). NextDoor is a social media platform which trades on emotional responses, I'm saddened to read that it may be the only news source for some localities.

Metals is such an awesome tool. Definitely one of the most polished LSP implementations I have used, and a great demonstration of what the protocol is capable of.

I know it's all old hat to the IntelliJ crowd, but I just don't like using an industrial IDE if I can help it. Metals lets me stick with a lightweight editor like Emacs or VSCode while keeping the great tooling that a powerful type system like Scala's enables.

I still fire up IntelliJ from time to time for certain types of mechanical refactoring, but as Metals has improved I find those cases come up less and less.

Big props to the Metals team, and thanks for all the hard work.
