In principle I don't have a problem with the police getting a warrant to find out who searched for a specific name or place in a constrained time frame. It's a bit like the police asking the library who checked out a specific book.

The problem is that this could obviously be used with keywords that target a wide group of people, e.g. finding everyone who plans to attend a protest. If we continue to allow keyword warrants we should add a law limiting their reach, e.g. by limiting the number of people who can be revealed in the answer to any one such warrant.
I'm more interested in replacing _other_ drivers, more than myself. Really if we could replace the bottom 10% of drivers with AI, even at the level we have today, I imagine that would be a net improvement. But that isn't really a feasible program. As for future, improved AI, I would trade my own driving for the more efficient and safer system.

Completely agree. The history of this dates back to philosopher Hubert Dreyfus, who, observing the halting progress of text recognition research at the time, and made open ended declarations that computers can't do X. He said computers couldn't compete at human levels in chess because chess required "insight." This claim did not age well.

I find these to be confused, hodgepodgey, not clearly centered on any coherent argument, and often just plain shallow and wrong while masquerading as deep insights. I am glad that, at least, the recent advances in AI are repudiating this genre, or at least forcing articles to add new caveats as to why recent advances don't count.

We've been working in this industry since 2014 and have talked with literally 1000s of cannabis licensees; they know they need this (regulatory obligation); when they have Metrc they hate it; and it doesn't carry the proper data forward; and folks get stuck with teidous manual data entry -- so they feel the pain every day. The customers we have on our hosted solution, one of our big selling points is trying to build the industry together with open specifications. When Washington state had another issue with their cannabis software in late 2017, an industry assocation made efforts to introduce this open specification at that time. Some of our competitors (not in Washington) have even purchased consulting time from us to talk about general system design for cannabis industry software -- it's where we also got some of that feedback for the existing models.

So, we are, and have been, and continue to be activily engaged in conversations with industry participants many of whom actively find us to bring their problems to; and we turn those into the virtious cycle customer feedback loop.

I know it's common in the "tech space" to have folks put the cart in front of the horse. I think our case does NOT do that; since 2014 a profitable customer driven company; starting the open-source efforts in 2016 in a constant, customer engaged method. It's why our competitors and our competitors clients literally call us for help.
The organizations where you can do the same work that aren't McKinsey (assuming you're in the strategic management consulting side) tend to not be much better than McKinsey on that front. You could go niche, but you might end up making half the money (or double, or both depending on the year).

Yeah, I, a third party with no horse in this race, am threatening you. lol. Reminding you of the severity of a claim is not a threat.
No, it's a sum type. You have to add the constraints

CONSTRAINT MyTableRed INTERSECT MyTableGreen IS EMPTY
CONSTRAINT MyTableGreen INTERSECT MyTableBlue IS EMPTY
CONSTRAINT MyTableBlue INTERSECT MyTableRed IS EMPTY

but after that, I believe it works. It essentially replaces the original "... and the color is 'x'" predicate with three another predicates: "... and the color is red", "... and the color is green", "... and the color is blue" with the constraint that only one (at most) of those can be true for any particular value of "...". As you can see, you have to do that for every would-be COLOR property, and adding more variants blows up the number of tables and constraints even more drastically.

It kinda reminds me of 3SAT and other logical exercises in reducing everything down to the first-order logic: it's doable, but the terms grow exponentially large.
> As a former strategist for a big news room...

Would love to hear how you (and your cohort) would tackle these issues.

I just finished Jill Lepore's These Truths. Terrific. Tracks how our nation transformed from seekers of truth (for all our faults) to anti-truth.

The transition period from newspapers to mobile mediums as people's primary source of news is very interesting. Sure, everyone has been lamenting this ad nauseum. But somehow Lepore's explanation is just so tight and focused.

And yet. I haven't seen or heard any ideas or strategies for what's next.

Fills me with dread.
When was it different? I mean, there was a time when the technology didn’t even exist, if we are being pedantic. But before cloud services, you could not “barf out” a “whole system.” Colo places weren’t as open as they are now; if you knew the right people and had access to cash to buy a server up front, sure you could barf out what you could afford.

Before that, you’d have to have a number of landlines to provide a service from home that people had to dial into.
Embedded systems compilers already have a loose regard for the compiler spec. If you're only building for one system, you'll only use one compiler and the reality of what it does beats the theory of what it should do.

Also, I'd encourage you to read what the Trump-supporting press writes about him, and what they write about other leaders, because that's what the "median supporter" is probably consuming.

I'm guessing the article refers to a form of "cowboy coding" or similar things promoted along with the myth of the 10x programmer, where there are attempts to apply that practice (of siloing developers and having them only write code to satisfy their needs) into the organizational environment. And I'd agree with the article there, in my experience that's awful and leads to everyone being upset. The hermit programmer is no different from a rogue programmer. It's a great way to ensure that key pieces of information are missed or glossed over.

I think that nuclear power is still the very best way of serving the ever-growing energy needs of the planet. It's a shame that the technology has been sidelined by fearmongering and endless litigation.
Beaches are closed and cleanup is underway after oil spill off California
I really don't understand the assault on nuclear power. It's literally the only proven clean energy solution for solving the base load problem, and it's not like we can only choose between nuclear and renewables--we can and should have a diverse energy portfolio.

Not only is nuclear power clean, it's two orders of magnitude safer than fossil fuels and on-par with wind and solar (it's considerably safer than rooftop solar, in fact). And that is including Fukushima and Chernobyl.

Further, while nuclear is expensive, Small Modular Reactor designs are safer, smaller, simpler, and faster to build. We should be building them now if only to make sure we have the experience if we need to scale them up quickly.

Yes, nuclear waste has to be dealt with, but there's very little of it and we already have to deal with it.

Ignoring nuclear and praying for a breakthrough solution for the renewable base load problem is tremendously risky and there's virtually no upside.

If they're disabled then they will proliferate even if they are turned into errors.

The biggest problem with nuclear power plants seems to me the apparent need for them to be located near natural water sources. If they could build one in the middle of a desert, wouldn't that be the answer to most environmental concerns?

The issue with Delta appears to be that viral load is a lot higher compared to other variants. So you get hit by a lot of it so some of it can start replicating before it is cleared out of your body.

You've got a point. Back in the iPhone 4S days, I speculated that some day there could be a really interesting market for second-hand iPhone "motherboards" to be put to use in… oh I dunno… robotics, OLPC-type things, even blade servers… Of course I knew that Apple would fight rooting (and then the secure enclave came along) but it was fun to imagine.

The article mentions that several leads from the Apple chip division bailed for Nuvia, so at least the future of non-Apple boards looks a bit brighter.
gcc will easily miscompile code with signed overflow.

But you do not have to use signed integers, you can map your range to an unsigned integer range (for example [-pi, pi) -> [0, 2*16)
They seem to be massively diving into anything that can be computed/stored on the edge, and/or can benefit from a high performance network behind that edge. Which makes sense.

Also, they make quite smart choices. An example of one very smart choice is that they don't do Docker for cloud computation, only Javascript/WebASM, and that means they can spin up code in Isolates in V8 that's much more lightweight than having all the infra needed to do Docker.
Was receiving an error page, now just a server not responding error.
I'm making a relational lang (https://tablam.org) and this was one of the question marks for me.

The #1 reason sum types was not presented is because "nobody" thought (seriously) about that for long time. See how much "null" have been with us and still you find defenders of it!

The second and more broad problem, is that the relational model was NOT implemented by the RDBMS makers, not in full. To make sum types work, you NEED to support embed relations inside relations:

rel Invoice
rel DetailInvoice

Invoice[invoice_id:1 customer:123 lines: DetailInvoice[
[invoice_id:1 line_id:1 price:10 qty: 1],
[invoice_id:1 line_id:2 price:10 qty: 2]
]

Then with this, do sum types comes from free:

type Option
Some ?
None

[customer_id:1 phone: [tag:Some 123-23456]]
[customer_id:2 phone: [tag:None]]

This will make things like storing Logs, metrics and event sourcing so much nicer!

How store that is another matter, but I think is not that complicated, just none of the major rdbms have put effort on this.

This is one of my dreams: Making a rdbms with this and other stuff that push the DBs to the modern way of make apps...

This seems like your compiler toolchain definition should have been a part of your build system's graph. I do this exact thing, with -Werror on, and bumping to a new gcc version or clang version typically exposes new errors that will be blocking on gerrit until I fix the corresponding now warning code. Bazel makes this easy, but you can definitely do it with CMake or other systems too.
You're missing the point. It's not "wink wink everybody knows". It's "we explicitly understand you're working with pharma companies whose interests may differ from ours but that these teams will be isolated and thus under no conflict of interest". It's not under the table.

I'm not sure what you mean by how easy it is to move between projects. It's not. You don't just get to say "hey I wanna work for tesla, anybody doing a project on tesla?". That information is secret. But you do have the ability to say "I would like to work in energy, and I don't want to serve anyone working on oil".

I'm not entirely interested in changing your mind. Just showing some context.

edit: cannot respond to the below, but the FDA does not disclose all the details of its operations. I too would like if government entities were fully transparent. But that's another issue. You'll have a hard time getting ALL the details of every decision made with FOIA acts. And finally, there are consequences to breaking these contracts. That should be obvious.
Which would show you how is it a very fast build tool, but if you prefer not even learning about it, do stay in your ignorance.
I think the hard part will be loops. What type would you then give to your integers? If you want it to be precise, the type checking might become undecidable. Too loose, and you end up with Int without any additional info.
It should exist, in theory, but the type becomes moot in the presence of any dynamic input.

I hate this framing so much. "All of these major organizations were promoting the benefits of nuclear energy at the same time." As if to cast aspersions on any actual benefits as being purely fictitious. The actual merits are irrelevant - guilty by association.

And notice that all of these same organizations promoted things like... breakthroughs in consumer electronics, worker safety, medicine, vaccines, solar power, space travel. And yet, there are no articles about the "propaganda" around things like seatbelts. To pull out nuclear is a lazy post hoc analysis hit job.

I hate this trend in modern journalism where anytime consumers show preferences for something a journalist doesn't like, they are written about like some sort of victim in an information war.

The problem is that those corporations are playing a game they cannot loose. Its only logical for them to push risk (therefore profits) more and more. They themselves created 'too big to fail' term.

I am not trying to make excuses for them, they are the people who captured regulatory institutions, and de-facto are self regulating - and in practice we all know where that leads. They are responsible for what happened and is happening.
