I was raised Catholic and Evangelical, became an Atheist as soon as I could get out, and became a Deist after working with cosmologists a little. The only theology I actively dislike is Calvinism and its offshoots (Presuppositionalism and so on), mainly because they effectively paint God as playing a single-player game with humanity as the NPCs.
Failing to make a trade is not the same thing as insider trading.

There is actually a loophole available to executives and other insiders right now that exploits this fact - you can file a 10b5-1 plan with your broker, which allows executives to say "I'm going to sell my shares according to this schedule" and bypasses blackout periods etc. You can then cancel the plan if the numbers look really good and you want to hang on to the shares. No crime has occurred since you didn't actually trade any shares, you simply failed to trade some shares you normally would have.

I think it will happen, but in China. We are trying to solve the wrong problem.

When cars were introduced, people kept getting hit in the street. "Jaywalking" as a crime was created to shift the blame away from the technology (cars) to the victims (pedestrians).

For self-driving vehicles, it suffices that we outlaw the edge cases, and enforce it to make them insignificant. The Uber ATC crash? Blame the jaywalker. Kid chasing a ball in the street? Blame the parents. Treat self-driving cars the same way that we treat trains: get out of the way, or you've no one to blame but yourself.

What that leaves practically is preventing crashes with the static environment, self-driving cars, and "normal" road users (i.e. ones that can't be blamed if a collision occurs). This is much easier than the plastic bags and animals and cyclists and jaywalkers and wacky drivers that form most of the remaining unhandled 1%.

The only country that can pull this off, IMO, is China. The mix of authoritarianism plus technical prowess allows the missing 1% of cases to be bulldozed in the name of progress.

I like handles too.

Are there any programming languages that natively support them? Like, something that's physically a tuple of (data structure pointer, index), but with the syntax allowing you to directly access it like any other reference. Bonus points for "get all handles to me" as an operation.
Works great till you want to copy a ton of text. I frequently need to look up some command to dump the tmux scrollback to a local file because I could only get a couple thousand lines from the buffer.

It's the best option I've found, but it's not all smooth sailing for me at least.
If you mean by adding new and different inconsistencies, sure. Personally, /etc/resolv.conf has worked for decades and I don't see how systemd taking control of that improved anything. I wish it had stuck to launching programs like init, rather than breaking everything in new and exciting ways.
Your view is actually very human centric. Just because an algorithm is all you know, doesn't mean the universe behaves like an algorithm, or consciousness, for that matter.

Also not a lawyer, don't blame me if you follow this advice and go to jail.

But as I understand it from reading Matt Levine's triply also not a lawyer blog, using knowledge only Facebook has to trade on the market of its competitors is insider trading, on the basis that you misappropiated Facebook's data, and exploited Facebook shareholders. Which sounds like if Facebook ran a quant fund that took information, traded on it and returned the profits to Facebook shareholders, there'd be no grounds for a suit. Might even be more profitable than whatever failure as a service FB intends to roll out.
I couldn't tell you what the exact definition might be...but according to tildeverse.org's homepage, "...tildes are pubnixes in the spirit of tilde.club, which was created in 2014 by paul ford..." So, sort of unix/linux shell accounts for public users; in essence a *community of people on a single unix/linux server*. And then these users do stuff on the server (virtually of course), like chat with each other, have really meaningful discussions, share stuff, publish basic blogs, etc. The appearance of many (though not all) tilde-related sites seems to have the aesthetic of the typical linux/unix command line with black background, and green or amber or white text; that sort of look. But beyond that command line-esque appearance, there seems to be a desire to experience a simpler internet; without too much of the glitz, bloat, over-done "design", etc. Between tilde sites, geminispace, the fediverse, and the matrix network, it sure seems like quite a number of folks are seeking engagement away from the typical web/social destinations. While i clearly frequent HN, i've spent lots more time on tildes.net in the last year (because of the engaging discourse, not because of the site's aesthetic). You might want to conduct your own research around tilde communities. If you're interested in joining tildes.net specifically, feel free to reach out to me as i still have a few invites left. Good luck!
But then we switched from US Senators being elected by the state legislatures to being elected by the general public, so now the Senate is no longer an meaningful check on the populist tendencies of the House and state governments have no representation on federal legislation anymore.
I've used handles for memory management for more than 15 years and I'll never go back to pointers, smart or not.

I'll publish an article about the memory management architecture of Crayfish, my new engine, when I find the time.

Handles have many nice properties, for example you use them to easily implement promises.
It takes power to rotate in a gravitational field, because there are tides that pull both Earth & Moon into little ovoids and cause friction. After a long enough time any pair of orbiting bodies will become tidally locked. This is especially true when objects are relatively close compared to their diameter (moon is only 30 earths away), and the smaller object will lock much sooner, because it has much less angular momentum.
Latitude and longitude are in the public domain, being inventions of the US military.

> Most of nuclear plants in the world are not in tsunami endangered areas though and are operated safely.

How can one begin to even make this claim knowing: a) Chernobyl, b) Three Mile Island, and c) Fukushima? They clearly aren't operated safely. Just to be clear, I'm not anti-nuclear and I'm not making a case against nuclear power. I'm making a simple observation that really shouldn't be a debate. Three entirely different areas with three entirely different political/power/environmental structures in place.

What about regime collapse? We've been worried about nuclear weapons and the political situation in Pakistan. But a similar threat lurks behind nuclear power. What if the government of the future cannot properly maintain their nuclear plants? Based on the past 100 years of history I do not believe this is merely a hypothetical concern.

There will be disasters in the future. You understand this concept, right? Things that we know today which we will later claim could only be known in retrospect, like a tsunami hitting a nuclear power plant in Japan. I'm rolling my eyes right fucking now.
Jonathan Corbet in this week's LWN:

> Your editor recently moved house; part of that move involved carefully packing up the dust-covered household television set, gently transporting it to the new home, and lovingly moving it to its new location — followed by gracelessly dropping it on the floor while lifting it into place. The search for a replacement involved asking a salesman for a reasonable "non-smart" television, a request that was met with mirthful incredulity. It would appear that such things no longer exist; all televisions are built to be placed on the network now.

Autoland is impressive but it really is more equivalent to a system (in a car) that automatically applies the brakes than to a full self driving system.

Autopilot is simple and a solved problem. Self driving is not either.
I'd consider taking the bet, but only against, "We'll be on Mars before we have generally available self-driving cars that do not require humans."

Both seem unlikely.
Agreed it is a funny line and prank.
Testing the parts that supposedly came from the planet and comparing them to the moon would provide a lot of evidence for or against this theory. It can never be proven, but that's not the end goal anyway.

> On one hand I find the accountability good, but on the other I wish as a nation we cared less about “national conversations” and thought/acted more locally.

There are two main problems here, I think:

States and localities are usually not funded very well. With the exception of high-tax states like CA and NY, most states don't take in enough revenue to do anything of significant size, and residents are generally against tax hikes.

While the federal government was designed to be fairly limited, that's not remotely the case anymore, and even when states get money from the federal government, they're limited in what they can do with it. For example, several CA legislators would love to set up single-payer health insurance in CA, but federal Medicare dollars come with too many strings attached (and only the US Congress can grant CA the ability to use that money in different ways).

I feel like in many ways we have the worst of all worlds. The federal government doesn't want to invest in services for citizens, but the states and cities don't have enough money to do it themselves, and aren't allowed to do things with much of the money they get.
Yep. This is a killer feature for me. I have a ton of scripts that open new split screens and ssh into things to tail logs or others that ssh, change users, start some other console/repl/shell, then run a few commands in that. I'm sure there's better ways to do it but it's been enough to speed up a lot of the simple repetitive things for me.
I mean, I agree when build times take more than a minute, I don't care about seconds. Have you used languages that take less than a few seconds (in total) to compile?

Also in my experience Crystal compiles simple projects faster than Rust and somewhat comparable to Julia, but much slower than (e.g.) C or Zig, which I think is fine for a language with higher level features. Maybe I haven't done anything big enough with Crystal yet to see the compilation times though?

And of course, I expect it will get better over time, there are things that can be done like parallelization and cached incremental compilation results (like Cargo or Gradle do)
The anonymous sources on Bloomberg M&A scoops all have insider information one way or the other

Yes, but trading on nonpublic information is not illegal unless it was obtained from someone that the trader knew was breaching a duty to the corporation in disclosing it, and some form of compensation is paid to the person that breached it [1].

So it begs the question...how is simply receiving secondhand information from a reporter prosecutable?

I agree that nuclear waste is probably a manageable problem, but not for the reasons you say. "Zero risk" is not a thing that actually exists anywhere ever. "Bedrock with no aquifer" is a thing that exists, but it's not what you're looking for: the rockhead under a desert, for example, is bedrock with no aquifer, and it's commonly very porous and water-permeable. What you want is impermeable rock that will stay that way, like a salt deposit, which is indeed pretty safe—many salt domes have successfully kept petroleum or natural gas from leaking to the surface for 300 million years or more.

The special difficulty of nuclear waste is not that it's especially toxic—far more toxic materials certainly exist, even commonplace materials like hydrofluoric acid, hydrazine, and tetraethyllead. But if you pour hydrofluoric acid on the ground in most places, it becomes completely nontoxic within a few minutes. Hydrazine loses most of its toxicity if you just set it on fire, although burning it to totally nontoxic materials requires a little more care. Tetraethyllead also loses most of its toxicity when you burn it, though the resulting lead compounds were still toxic enough to cause a worldwide crime wave lasting decades.

What's special about nuclear waste is that no such simple means of detoxification exists. The only way to detoxify nuclear waste is with another nuclear reactor—and that's not only in need of additional development to bring it from the laboratory to production, it's also commonly prohibited because of proliferation concerns.

The real risk with nuclear waste, though, is not that disposing of it safely is rocket science; it's that the people who are in charge of it in countries like the US are the same ridiculous bumbling assclowns who've bungled the covid pandemic so badly. (Did you know that, though China was vaccinating college students last July, 1000 people a day are dying from covid in the US?) Have you read about the cat-litter explosion at WIPP? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waste_Isolation_Pilot_Plant#20... Someone used "an organic cat litter" in place of "inorganic cat litter" to immobilize the nuclear waste, so it caught on fire.

Fortunately, all of this is moot; as I said, nuclear energy is now so much more expensive than solar energy that there's no longer any reason to use it except in a few special niches, and that's unlikely to change for decades. Enjoy your Video Toaster.

I don't think they are prosecuting Peltz for getting the information from the reporter. They are prosecuting him for this:

"Peltz obtained material nonpublic information about the private equity firm’s interest in Ferro from a member of Ferro’s Board of Directors (the “Ferro Insider”), and/or the Board member’s fiancée (now wife) (the “Ferro Insider’s Fiancée”)."

https://www.sec.gov/litigation/complaints/2020/comp24998.pdf

Everybody knows that company board members are not allowed to share information about potential acquisitions.

The information from the reporter was secondary, although still important, for Peltz to execute his plan.
Since about 10 years ago, Seattle started taking itself too seriously. It desperately needs a local humor show to add some balance, and what goes on is ripe for parody.

(They even got the hair metal band members to come on the show and parody themselves.)
Which part of research funding requires it to be done at the federal level rather than the states?

If anything we're under-funding it now for precisely that reason. The federal government extracts money from every state's tax base and then spends it on the F-35. Whereas the states have to compete with each other for talent, so California given their proportion of the same money would want to give it to UCLA or Berkeley to attract the sort of high-earning taxpayers who want to send their kids to those schools or graduate from them and stay in the state, or cause local research grant recipients to put down roots and found successful companies. And so would all the others.

For me personally, your point really resonates. I trust human drivers in part because our incentives are aligned: neither one of us wants to get into an accident. The incentives of a machine learning model are harder to introspect on, as you point out.

I think there's another issue here, too. It relates to the observation that folks have a fear of flying, but not really a fear of driving, despite driving having about a 1 in 98 chance of killing you over your lifetime, while for aircraft it's more like 1 in 7178 (2008 data from USA Today...hopefully directionally correct). It's been discussed in research extensively[0], and seems to relate to whether or not the person feels they have a sense of personal control. I think your point is well-taken that the technological risks and the publicity challenge are independent barriers to the widespread adoption of AVs.
