That's not my point. My point is that if a modern FORTRAN exists and almost no one uses it, then the reputation for FORTRAN for not being modern is justified because most people that will work with it will work with the old version.
Except not really, as it's quite difficult to float a barge across a continent.
I think people need to read up on psychopaths and sociopaths. Realize it’s a spectrum but this behavior is the basis of cults. People here would be good to educate themselves.

In the UK this is called anti social behavior.
You can buy an Android phone with better specs (except the camera, where the iPhone objectively the best) for 200$, while an iPhone is minimum 500$ (and for an SE 2 that is an old iPhone 8 with a newer SOC).

For a computer you can buy for the same money that you spend for a MacBook Air a computer with better specs and hardware that you can upgrade. Apple tends not to upgrade the oldest computers, leaving you with an insecure OS where you can't run the latest software. I have my battle Thinkpad that with Linux runs better than most Macbook and we are talking about a PC that has more than 10 years and I bought used on Ebay for 100$.

Really Apple is not that great. I once used to buy their product thinking they were superior, and maybe once they were, nowadays they are just the other crap made in China but sold at (at least) twice the price because they have the Apple logo on it.
There are I'm sure valid reasons for doing it, but it fragments an already fragmented ecosystem. And IMHO it is ideal for there to be a first-party solution like Ruby/Bundler, Rust/Cargo, Swift/SPM, etc.
A warrant must name the specific persons/places/things to be searched. A automatic dragnet search isn't required with a warrant.

> it’s known that illegal content exists

A point of clarification: The system divulges the encryption keys to content when the content's "perceptual hash" matches one in the database the specific user is being tested against. Apple claims that the hashes are provided by NCMEC "and other parties". It is already known that the NCMEC databases has at least some hits for non-illegal content. Who knows what these databases might contain in the future. There is certainly no structural requirement in the system that the content is illegal or some specific kind of illegal.

For users in Thailand the apple database could just as well be full of hashes of cartoons insulting to the monarch (which are illegal there, as I understand it) and no one would be able to tell, at least not before apple users started being rounded up and summarily executed.
Do you have things to hide from people who are willing to misuse their official capacity?
Let me challenge this. What would you reply to: "Of course I close the bathroom, silly, I don't want you to be peeking in. But what would the Chinese government do with the information that I've been just dropping a fat one?"
It’s not just naked mole rats. Some sharks, turtles, and other animals exhibit the same phenomenon. They’re not immune to cancer, but their defenses (mostly multiple layers of contact inhibition) prevent tumors from establishing themselves and metastasizing or growing to a dangerous size in their natural environment. The adaptations themselves tend to be mutation resistant so the probability that a cell will become malignant and lose those layers of protection is astronomical, whereas most animals have many single points of failure, so to speak.

Naked mole rats reportedly develop cancer when living in zoos where they are exposed to much more oxygen than they’re used to. Their genetics naturally prevent cancers when they’re living in a hypoxic underground environment but when exposed to the oxidative stresses of living above ground, the mutation rate can overcome their natural defenses
My experience is there’s little conflict between a central conference call or room, and multiple independent investigators, since those investigators need to present and compare their findings somewhere. It would indeed be a mistake to demand everyone look at one high-level view, though. Based on the organization depicted in the article, this would be the “researcher” role, split among multiple people.
Hi, I'm a little late to the party, but I saw this and I do work at Plaid, so I thought I might be able to help answer. First disclaimer: I am definitely not a lawyer. However, the basic premise that banks' liability guarantees are contingent on account holders never disclosing credentials is, as far as I understand it, not correct.

Basically, your rights to be protected against unauthorized transfers are provided under Regulation E, which gives customers the right to address unauthorized transactions from their accounts. Under Reg E, once a consumer properly notifies their financial institution of an unauthorized transaction within a specific amount of time, the financial institution is obligated to limit the consumer’s liability for the unauthorized transaction.

If you provide proper notice to your bank under Reg E, your bank cannot waive their liability, even if you shared account information with a third party. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) made this explicit in a recently published Compliance Aid. Quoting the relevant section from their FAQ below:

"Q: If a financial institution’s agreement with a consumer includes a provision that modifies or waives certain protections granted by Regulation E, such as waiving Regulation E liability protections if a consumer has shared account information with a third party, can the institution rely on its agreement when determining whether the electronic fund transfer was unauthorized and whether related liability protections apply?

A: No. The Electronic Fund Transfer Act (EFTA) includes an anti-waiver provision stating that “[n]o writing or other agreement between a consumer and any other person may contain any provision which constitutes a waiver of any right conferred or cause of action created by [EFTA].” 15 U.S.C. § 1693l. Although there may be circumstances where a consumer has provided actual authority to a third party under Regulation E according to 12 CFR § 1005.2(m), an agreement cannot restrict a consumer’s rights beyond what is provided in the law, and any contract or agreement attempting to do so is a violation of EFTA."

Haha, that is true of advice in general. People generally do not accept advice until they have enough experience to recognize that the advice would have saved them a lot of grief:

Year 0 - what's a buffer overflow?

This is easy to say, but it’s clear from decades of cognitive science that people find it extremely hard to avoid the affordances and incentives in their environment. Blaming the victims of a concerted corporate and political effort to constrain individual liberties seems churlish. This is a tragedy of the commons and the only solution is cooperation and dialogue to set common standards and norms.
My plan, from a European perspective, would be for the EU to build a couple hundred new nuclear plants in ten year. France built almost 60 reactors between the seventies and the eighties so I believe it’s certainly possible with more modern tech. So by 2030 the EU has tons of cheap energy.

Cheap energy makes the following possible:

- carbon capture for negative emissions

- desalination plants for drinking water from the sea during heat waves

- vertical farms so farming is decoupled from the weather

- electric planes, cars and boats

- production (and worldwide export) of green hydrogen for industrial use

- electrical heating instead of gas

Bonus:

- export of all the above technologies once EU mastered them

Ambitious? Very. Difficult? Yes. Doable? I think so.
To me this sounds like a better solution than just trying to live like it’s 1940 again.

They do drop the limits over time. The reasoning is they want everyone to have very structurally sound bikes for safety. You _could_ build an ultra light steel bike but it might fail and cause serious injury.

With a minimum limit, no one feels the need to make their bikes less than perfectly strong. And when every OEM is making frames at perfect strength under the limit, they drop it.
Most browsers people actually use support ES6 modules natively now. So, bundling is sort of optional now.

Because Youtube wouldn't be able to enforce that threat. If a copyright holder complains about an IP violation, Youtube has to address it, or the copyright holder will go to court.

If Youtube starts saying "you've abused our report system, so you're not allowed to make reports anymore", the copyright holder will just respond "alright, we'll sue you every time we find a copyright violation on your platform from now on".

For this to change, content platforms like Youtube would need some sort of special legal status that would say "Provided that we do some reasonable effort to weed out IP violations, we're allowed to ignore a certain percentage of IP claims if we think the claimant is a patent troll" or something similar. I doubt it will happen, though, most governments are in the pocket of media companies and default to assuming content platforms are guilty until proven innocent.
> Was it ever actually fit for that? The VC economy basically always served one type of company, consumer-focused "lifestyle" or service 'technologies'

You're too young. Old VC's funded a lot of hardware (networking, graphics card and microprocessor) companies, for example.

This, of course, tied a up massive amount of capital and took 7-10 years to reach a liquidity event. And had a bunch of grouchy people called "engineers" who would tell you to fuck off or leave your company if you treated them too badly.

Then the web took off.

It was in the the DotBomb and the aftermath that VCs became useless lottery players who want to spend nothing, take all your equity and have their companies be unicorns in 18 months or die trying.

Thanks for the thorough writeup! I agree that our implementation seems to solve your use-case.

Let me provide you with a bit more context about the house buying use case. When buying houses you need to keep a chunk of money (around $60k) available to wire next day for a "good faith deposit" in case you're the winning bid, and it's quite a waste to keep that money in a checking or savings account (since the house buying process can take months).

An alternative to scaling battery production for cars is to electrify the highway system so that cars don't need huge batteries to go long distances. A side-benefit of that is it shifts energy use from overnight charging to daytime charging (since that's mostly when people drive around), which would be more compatible energy availability if we convert over to mostly-solar.

Previous comment talks about reducing noise pollution.
I think you’re missing the point. If the only thing stopping the government is a warrant (which the government itself can authorize) then there’s nothing stopping the government from just issuing those warrants. It may take slightly longer to do so but they will get it and all they need is reasonable suspicion to make that happen. This system makes it impossible for Apple to provide anything to the government outside of anything that is already criminal. If the government entity gets a warrant, they can simply get access to the whole device. This, in theory, prevents that situation because everything is encrypted and only things that are confirmed as being CSAM are provided. They literally can’t provide something they don’t have.
Sorry, apparently I interpreted "tanks" more literally than you do. The Kübelwagen and its amphibic Schwimmwagen variant were el cheapo jeeps, not tanks; BMW manufactured mainly aeroplane engines. Those "vehicles that they needed to wage war from the Urals to Morocco" mentioned in your third article were in all probability "staff cars", for superior officers, based on (barely modified?) pre-war standard civilian models.

So no tanks, AFAICT. They had enough other companies for that.
You've got a couple of years on me, I've been in the game a little over 13 years now.

No. Everything gets hit by big rocks all the time and are subject to all sorts of perturbations which dwarf anything a little spacecraft can do to a planet.
The big unknown to me here is the impact of the interconnects. It's obvious that the intermittency problem gets smaller with better transmission infrastructure. What I can't recall seeing is actual studies of how much transmission capacity would be needed to average the renewable input over large enough an area so that existing storage solutions are adequate.

Also, not all renewables are intermittent. Apart from hydro, geothermal comes to mind. (Although with climate change-induced changes in rainfall it's not clear that hydro will be reliable on the timescales we talk about either....)
It shocked me when I learned a couple of years ago that common vegetables like potatoes actually originated in the Americas. I always thought of them as European foods because of their popularity there and stuff like the Irish potatoe famine.

I do remember learning in elementary school how the natives would plant plants in groups (tall corn shading shorter plants like squash and beans that don't need as much sunlight and to keep away weeds, etc.). But somehow I never connected that these were fundamentally American foods.

Technically, you don't. The beauty of FOSS software is that you don't need to trust the author.

Groups of people do audit them though, and they have found nefarious things in the past, in the case of Google.

This is a hot take but: I have a growing sense that one defining feature of some software engineers is that they’re embarrassed by dense logic. I think you see this in the Java world where people seem to hide the core logic of their program amidst a dizzying array of interfaces and deep function call chains. Maybe with enough DI and whatnot, the business logic itself can melt into the structure of the program.

In comparison, C programs tend not to hide this stuff. C functions are often long and complex. If you were implementing quicksort in C, you would write (more or less) one function with all the logic packed in there you can just read top to bottom. In Java it would be a nest of SortComparator interfaces and SortAlgorithm implementors, which would act to hide the algorithm itself.

There’s something more honest about the C style. It’s like, yeah, the algorithm is complicated. So we put it all together in one dense function. Here it is - go nuts! You don’t have to go hunting for the right implementing class. Or divine how FooFactory has configured your Foo object instance.

All that Java style class abstraction seems to (intentionally or otherwise) make the actual logic of your program hard to find and hard to trace. It’s coy. When I’m trying to read someone’s code, that’s simply never what I want.
They are still open source maintainers, regardless of who they do or don't work for.
Fiduciary equivalent of qualified immunity.
My guess is that stuff is kinda iffy from a math standpoint. Relational databases are good but I've long suspected the theory needs to be overhauled a bit as we've gotten a lot better at connecting CS to math foundations than in the 1970s. (And indeed math foundations is itself getting better from that process.)

You're onto the right idea I think. But the only way for everyone to have the same level of privacy, is to everyone have their privacy. Because since you can achieve privacy, in a world where it would be mandated to have no privacy, the powerful would still have ways to achieve it, while the less powerful wouldn't - and thereby making the world unjust. No level playing field.

It's also not you who should be worrying about hiding stuff. That would be the job of everything you use; making sure that they don't get sued or worse for violating your privacy. In the world where privacy is a properly enforced human right, of course.

> But, can humans do this? I think not;

> Even humans are only probably approximately correct.

Fair point. But how about this:

It's true that what John would do with the sentence is technically an "approximation" of what Alice would do because they have slightly different understandings of correct behavior. However, for humans to do what they do, they still do build an absolutely correct model of meaning in their mind wrt their (subjective) notion of correctness.

This may sound like an obtuse play with words but the point is that to even attempt to do the right kind of reasoning in NLU, you need a different framework than PAC. You can't for example approximate whether "during the Cold War" qualifies "was based in" or qualifies "an Eastern European country". You just need to decide. And once you decide, you have an absolute correct interpretation, not an approximate one.

EDIT: wording.
They certainly can. In this case, the message is coming from the top, but the message and the actions are literally disconnected every time a middle manager or team lead has to tell people about some foolishness coming from the top of the company. And when the person making the decision is also the communicator, they can still make meaningful rhetorical decisions such as whether to apologize for their inability to make a good enough decision, to compliment or threaten the existing employees, to attempt to reveal whether to make up for the actions taken in some way, and so on, in addition to less consequential decisions about tone that may affect different employees according to their communication preferences.

I recommend becoming willing to evaluate how bad decisions are communicated to the degree you evaluate good ones as the former exercise aids the latter.
> Also, claiming that natural language is infinite, if taken literally, would imply a large and contrary to the common consensus claim about physics, contradicting the Bekenstein bound and all that.

Natural language is infinite in the pretty straightforward sense that, say, chess is infinite (there is an infinite number of valid chess games - if you ignore arbitrary restrictions such as the 50 move rule). This of course doesn’t mean that a chess computer has to be infinitely large or violate any known laws of physics. Similarly, practical C compilers can exist despite their being an infinite number of valid C programs.
So far as I've found, they only sell the individual tools in the "Elements", "Standard", and "Professional" bundles.

I think that's very true and it's maybe even more clear when you consider mathematics.

You can maybe imitate but not effectively learn mathematics empirically. There is an infinite number of mathematical expressions or sequences that can be generated, so learning can never be done, you cannot compress yourself to mathematical understanding. (which is obvious if you try to feed language models simple arithmetic, they can maybe do 5+5 because it shows up somewhere in the data, but then they can't do 3792 + 29382, hence they do not understand anything about addition at all).

The correct way to mathematical understanding is decompressing, understanding the fundamental axioms of mathematics and internal relationships of mathematical objects (comparable to the semantic meaning behind language artifacts), and then expanding them.
