No idea why you are downvoted.

I am skeptical and against the hype of this "replacing" programmers which it certainly won't as the AI engine that it uses (GPT-3) is limited and the code itself can also generate garbage or introduce insecure and vulnerable code as well. This is why it will always be 'assistive' rather than going to 'replace' anything. 10 years later, self-driving cars are still unsafe and immature.

The hype squad of this tool know it is limited but they want to capitalise on the 'AI' automation narrative to those who don't know any better.

> ... peaceful protesting...

Is setting fires on public transport, damaging roads and buildings, beating up (in some cases almost killing) innocent bystanders "peaceful protesting"?

What westerners do not understand is that the 2019 riots in HK are motivated by hatred toward Chinese mainlanders who have risen in wealth in recent decades and to whom HK residents have historically felt superior.

A parallel in the West may be racially motivated hate crimes. You don't call Ku Klux Klan rallies "peaceful".

I'm wondering why this was downvoted.

It certainly is a nightmare to think a billion people live under such a government.
This. I don’t know why people found Obama’s position on gay marriage so difficult to understand. It was simple. In 2008, he had to win a Democratic primary. This meant echoing the stances that would be popular with Democratic primary voters. In Obama’s case, he needed all of the black vote as well. Only 60% of Democrats in 2008 supported marriage equality, compared to 80% in 2020 (https://news.gallup.com/poll/350486/record-high-support-same...). Black voters are more likely to be religious, more likely to regularly attend church and therefore less likely to support marriage equality (https://news.gallup.com/opinion/polling-matters/182978/relig...). Pleasing black voters meant taking a “safe” stance on gay rights, one shared by all mainstream national politicians at the time.

In 2012 it was different. There was no primary. Obama could afford to be less of a follower and more of a leader. Black voters might not be enthusiastic about gay rights, but there was no doubt they’d show up to vote for their guy. So Obama calculated he could get the black vote and the gay vote by “evolving” his public stance.

This is of course separate from his own personal stance, which likely hasn’t evolved in a long time. What people find difficult to understand is that public figures have public and private personas.
The issue in germany is quite different though. There is a unique legal situation where isps can use unrelated digging operations to throw in their cables if they want. This results in effectively no investment in new last mile infrastructure ever, because if you where to pay for it all your competitors would use your investement to extend their networks as well and charge lower prices, since they didn't have to pay for anything. Some cities tried to create their own networks only to be outcompeted by the telekom who immediately used the opportunity to lay their new cables for free.
The claim is not that all wealth and success is determined at birth, just that most of it is. This claim can't be disproven by counterexamples.

It's more productive to look at broader trends. The average Chinese factory worker works more hours than the average westerner, yet tends to end up less successful. The difference is that they had the bad luck to be born in a poorer country.
It's a bit strange because if you go to actual Israel, there are ways around Shabbat rules that align with the Torah/Talmud. For example, on Shabbat, there is an elevator that stops at every floor (so no one has to push the button).

It's also my understanding that it's kosher for gentiles to perform actions outside of the constraints of the rules of Judaism, like turning on/off fans on behalf of those respecting the rules of the sabbath.

I used to buy a lot of cheap things on there, then something interesting started happening. Every time I made a purchase on there, literally a few weeks later, I would start getting fraudulent charges on my card. Thank god, my bank would call and ask, "Are you in Paris France right now? Someone just tried to purchase 3,000 euros worth of clothing on your card."

I haven't bought anything on there for about 5 years now and remarkably as soon as I stopped buying stuff off of their site, I have yet to have my cc number end up on some carders market and deal with getting a new credit card.

I also did some research and found out many, many, many people have had the same issues with bad charges showing up on their card after making purchases on that site.
I am one of those. Unless it’s a few lines of standard library calls for the behavior I’m seeking, If I am copy and pasting a function over its as a template.

According to this article[1], the number of ride hailing drivers has tripled in the last decade.

I think full self driving is possible in the future, but it will likely require investments in infrastructure (smarter and safer roads), regulatory changes, and more technological progress. But for the last decade or so, we had "thought leaders" and VCs going on and on about how AI was going to put millions of drivers out of work in the next decade. I think it is safe to say that we are at least another decade away from that outcome, probably longer.

Question to wyager or anyone else about that second point: what are some examples of political changes that people think were caused by protests, but in reality were already in development before the protest started? Also, who are the best-known advocates for this idea? If the answer is "I, wyager, came up with it", that's totally fine, I'm just curious if the concept has an interesting history.
I don't know how this can be solved with regulation though. What is "superior" about the better product? Tolerances? Documentation? Customer service? The ineffable reflection of the divine? (...) As soon as you put a target on any of those measures Goodhart's law rears its ugly head. This strategy is like trying to grab a greased ball bearing with a pair of tweezers.

The most efficient way for the customer to compare the relative value of two products is for the quality to be factored into the price exactly, with all externalities realized up front. But how to design such a scheme that isn't instantly gamed into oblivion is unclear to me.

It's like the value we're looking for is the depth of it's "truth", if you grant me poetic license to use that phasing, but that definition is not specific enough to be actionable.

LR/SC (aka LL/SC) was popular in CPUs in the '90s. It turned out to be a performance bottleneck, and was abandoned in modern designs. It is as if they knew enough to leave behind the branch delay slot, but didn't get the memo about other trouble spots.

This is another example of what seems like tone-deaf design right at the innermost core of RISC-V, and why I think we need an incompatible Risc-6 that fixes the core booboos but keeps enough else that the correctness proofs are easy to port over.

Another example is that the microarchitecture can't tell if it is doing an ordinary indirect branch or a function return. While these operations seem the same to a coder, they are very, very different from implementation performance and even security standpoints, thus deserving separate opcodes.

Somewhere there is a published list including these and others, that would be a good starting document.

The whole business of not using condition codes is another example. Condition codes were momentarily a problem for out-of-order execution, until the condition code register got shadowed like others, and now is no problem. But RISC-V's whole ISA is rejiggered around eliminating condition codes, uselessly.

Faithful readers here know about my horror that popcount is missing from the core instruction set, so that code generators can't count on having it available for its 10x performance boost of remarkably common operations.

Semantic point. Irrespective of the merits or demerits of the case, to refute is to provide unassailable evidence (proof) as to the falsity of an allegation. It marks `case closed`.

> Hunting of passenger pigeons was documented and depicted in contemporaneous newspapers, wherein various trapping methods and uses were featured. The most often reproduced of these illustrations was captioned "Winter sports in northern Louisiana: shooting wild pigeons", and published in 1875. Passenger pigeons were also seen as agricultural pests, since entire crops could be destroyed by feeding flocks. The bird was described as a "perfect scourge" by some farming communities, and hunters were employed to "wage warfare" on the birds to save grain, as shown in another newspaper illustration from 1867 captioned as "Shooting wild pigeons in Iowa".[124] When comparing these "pests" to the bison of the Great Plains, the valuable resource needed was not the species of animals but the agriculture which was consumed by said animal. The crops that were eaten were seen as marketable calories, proteins, and nutrients all grown for the wrong species.

1. Unfortunately, the draft is progressing much slower than many people would like. This is partially because not all parties agree on the best way forward for a number of technical decisions that need to be made including AEAD. See for instance this discussion: https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/browse/openpgp/?gbt=1&inde...

Happily, the group was rechartered at the beginning of this year and the charter is more narrow (just a cryptographic refresh). So, I'm hopeful that we'll see a new version of OpenPGP in the near future.

2. I present some evidence that pgp is effective against powerful adversaries despite its bad UX in my blog post.

We (Sequoia PGP) are working on improving the UX. Currently we are focused on the plumbing. We have a library, which we put a lot of effort into making not only feature completely, but also safe. We spent a lot of time thinking about the API usable and how to make it secure by default. We're working our way up the stack with tools like Hagrid (which powers keys.openpgp.org) and OpenPGP CA (https://openpgp-ca.org), a tool for administering in-house, federated CAs.

Perhaps this point is a bit too anecdotal, but I've certainly encountered the "just work hard and you'll make it" attitude a lot. And its inverse, people assuming that unsuccessful people must be unsuccessful because of their personal flaws.

In any case, that's the corollary, not the main point. Which is:

I think respect is for people, not religions. I don’t even know what it means to respect a religion, unless you adhere to it. Respect for people includes respecting their right to practice their religion, even if you think it is silly. That respect also means you don’t go out of your way to point fingers and laugh at every opportunity, but not the obligation to keep your opinion secret either. Due respect can be a difficult balancing act sometimes.

No. There's a mild software downweight on bloomberg.com the same way there is for other major media websites, but that's all. I mean, I guess it depends on what you mean by 'censored', but there wasn't any moderator intervention nor any software penalty other than the one I just described.

I'd be happy to turn the penalty off, but that title is impossibly baity and I'm not quite sure what to do about that. Also, other than a weird iris-scanning orb and something-something cryptocurrency, there really isn't much information there. Bloomberg is usually better than that title, which makes me wonder if they're compensating.
Since they're very up front about referring to them as Accessory Dwelling units, the primary market is likely people who want to quickly put an ADU in place alongside a traditional single-family home for extra living space or rental income.

About one-third of the cost of new multifamily development is typically tied up in zoning/permitting/planning processes. Against that backdrop, ADUs -- particularly if the city pre-approves designs, which seems like something this product would be ideal for -- are a growing part of housing inventory and housing affordability in many cities.
Given that, would zero trust plus perimeter have better security than each approach individually? Layered defense etc.
I just updated this evening from Pop!_OS 20.10. It was pretty painless while using their built-in pop-upgrade tool, even on non-System76 hardware. First impressions are it largely still feels like the previous Pop! (which I'm personally a huge fan of), but a few key elements of my workflow had been broken, mostly surrounding the functionality of the Super key. After a little tinkering, I was able to figure out a good alternative key set, but the transition was a bit jarring.

That said, other things like Steam (for example, playing games like Witcher 3 on Proton) still seems flawless, which is always nice. Overall, tentatively pleased, and a little curious what little improvements I'll end up finding and appreciating over the next couple of weeks.
