I'll quote the definition for you:

> crime against peace, in international law, is "planning, preparation, initiation, or waging of wars of aggression, or a war in violation of international treaties, agreements or assurances, or participation in a common plan or conspiracy for the accomplishment of any of the foregoing".[1] This definition of crimes against peace was first incorporated into the Nuremberg Principles and later included in the United Nations Charter. This definition would play a part in defining aggression as a crime against peace. It can also refer to the core international crimes set out in Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and the crime of aggression), which adopted crimes negotiated previously in the Draft code of crimes against the peace and security of mankind.

> An important exception to the foregoing are defensive military actions taken under Article 51 of the UN Charter. Such defensive actions are subject to immediate Security Council review, but do not require UN permission to be legal within international law. "Nothing in the present Charter shall impair the inherent right of individual or collective self-defence if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations." (UN Charter, Article 51) The Security Council will determine if the action is legally the "right of individual or collective self-defence", or it may appoint another UN organ to do this.

Meaning that defensive wars are OK. Conspiring against the peace, aka waging a war of aggression, is not. Which is why the Allies fighting against the Axis aren't war criminals for being in the war, but for their actions there ( unrestricted submarine warfare, the Laconia incident, the bombings of civilian targets including Nuremberg, etc.). The Axis' war crimes including them starting the wars ( against Poland, Soviet Union, Greece, Yugoslavia, etc.) and their despicable behaviour in them ( Holocaust, treatment of civilians and POWs, bombing of civilian targets, etc).
Failure Was Always an Option for Elizabeth Holmes
Another interpretation: the biggest beneficiaries of high list prices are the insurance companies. After all, they don't pay that price, and the higher the non-insured price, the more attractive it is to buy health insurance.

So perhaps the drug companies are just responding to demand from their biggest customers.
There are, uh, several different first-world countries in which health insurance is paid by the government which you could scrutinize to see if your assumption is worth assuming.

Or you could scrutinize the projected numbers, which conclude that it would be less expensive, in terms of government healthcare funding, to eliminate all of the ravenous middlemen causing all of the costs.

Kinda like how it'd be cheaper to just give all the homeless people housing, rather than burn shitloads of social and criminal justice funding to keep them on the streets.

These are ideological positions, though, so good luck changing any of them. So are the rolling presses -- they're not there to prop up a healthcare system, they're there to refill the troughs of irresponsible rich people whose enterprises have become "too big to fail". The problem is that the rich people have come to expect this windfall. Maybe we can save some money for them by cleaning up the healthcare and criminal justice systems!!

"As the Elizabeth Holmes trial for alleged fraud at her startup Theranos winds on, the biggest question is: When the company’s blood testing machines didn’t work, why didn’t she change tactics? Real entrepreneurs fail early and often. Ms. Holmes instead was stubborn and chose deception over failure. That’s a shame. Despite today’s IPO and SPAC fireworks, the truth is that in Silicon Valley most ideas fail. Heck, most companies fail. More than half of venture-capital investments are smoking holes in the ground. Fortunately, success often rises from the ashes of ruin.

Some history of failure: Thomas Edison, the “Wizard of Menlo Park” (New Jersey, not California), had the hardest time finding a filament for his incandescent lightbulb. He tried bamboo, cedar and flax until he found that carbonized cotton worked. “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work,” Edison said. Fail until you succeed beats fake it till you make it.

Then there is the computer mouse. The Douglas Engelbart version of 1968 was a crude wooden block on two wheels with three buttons. Xerox PARC came up with a better mouse using a metal ball and motion sensors. Steve Jobs wanted one, so Apple hired a design firm, which came up with over 25 prototypes, all failures, until a design in 1981 worked. Think of all the failed mice it took to create today’s curved mouse with multiple buttons, a scroll wheel and optical sensors. Speaking of failures, James Dyson made 5,127 prototypes over four years for his “cyclone” vacuum cleaner."

It's around 0:56:12, AFAIK kernel dev has relatively strict guidelines regarding memory management. Cantrill also says that he considers the borrow checker less important if you only write code for a system that does not interact with other libraries, however as soon as you interact with others, things get messy on who owns what and when stuff should be free'd. Since the kernel is a sense a sealed system (ignoring kernel modules), the memory argument probably isn't that important anyway.

I totally agree regarding race conditions though, however I don't think Rust does anything to solve this.

I moved away and returned to NYC twice between 2010 and 2020 - both times it was impossible to miss the impact AirBnB had on the residential rental supply. All over the city, wherever weekly demand was high enough (read, in any neighborhood remotely desirable), rental housing stock was lost to short-term rentals.
The 2003 Iraq war was, most people now know, based on a lie. What most people didn't know, and still don't know, is that Desert Storm itself was based on a lie. Like the 2003 lie, it backfired.

I'm not familiar with the current state of the art language models, so please bear with me for asking: What's the catch here? Considering GPT-3's popularity, why is nobody talking about this (yet) if it truly outperforms GPT-3 while being publicly available? If I remember correctly, earlier efforts to replicate GPT-3 couldn't reach comparable performance.

Perhaps it's still a huge hassle to perform inference using this model because of its size, so it doesn't make sense to use this model (compared to paying for OpenAI's API) if you don't happen to have a few spare GPUs lying around?

Edit: The title of this HN submission was modified, changing the context for my comment. Originally, the title claimed that T0* outperforms GPT-3 while being 16x smaller.
Extremist is being used too often in the media. There are people everywhere on the political spectrum and 25% of the people on the right are being lumped in as right wing terrorists/extremists now.

This only works if the commands update only a few bytes.

This would not work, for instance, in an image editor with an "adjust brightness/contrast" command since that changes the whole image.

It's also inefficient since you need to examine the whole state to generate the diffs, so in general it's not a great solution.
It started as a convenience for people willing to let people they like crash at their place while they are away and get some pocket money for their own travel. Mostly unofficially, yes, and I feel no problem with this. But they turnt it into big business. Now whole buildings are built for AirBnB, professional landlords take mortgages to buy apartments just to let them at AirBnB, it's all over in the news, the prices are on par with hotels and the landlords seemingly don't care about any "face control" (as they normally would if it was about letting their actual home for a weekend) so even thugs can have the keys.
Sure, that was just to show how absurdly costly medical treatment has become in the U.S.

I have no idea why you are thinking I want to disallow anything. I merely point out that most of the people is not proactive enough to form cooperative.

To add some background I'm running sizable division in a company hiring about 100 people. We're very flat and open to suggestions no matter what is your title. Some people actually use that opportunity, but it's maybe a half. And we're actually targeting for that when hiring! More than that - over the years we had some people left us, because they wanted narrower responsibility, without bothering them with bigger picture.

As for the discussion about "true Marxism" - sorry. Hard pass.
It's normal competitive behavior - you're supposed to try and take market share from your competitors (and prevent them from taking it back from you). What should they say - that they're making sure not to take up too much space in the market, so everyone has a chance?

They're not lobbying local governments to put regulations in place that prevent other toy stores from opening, they're just trying to sell as many toys as they can, which is the point of their business. Their competitors are most assuredly trying to do the same at TRU's expense. That's what competition is.

Certainly at that time, creating your own templates was explicitly disallowed by the C++ style guide (ie readability requirements). The public style guide mentions template meta-programming specifically [1]:

> The techniques used in template metaprogramming are often obscure to anyone but language experts. Code that uses templates in complicated ways is often unreadable, and is hard to debug or maintain.

This certainly applied to Google3. Non-Google3 C++ code bases could and did have their own standards and style.

General note: templates were created but by library/framework teams who specialized in that. The way I like to put it, creating templates was a job for branch nodes not leaf nodes.

I think there’s a clear imbalance between stagnant money in a bank account versus rent-generating property - both being taxed as wealth tax. Hence, demand for real estate.

This talk proved prophetic for me; since giving it three years ago, most of my technical work has been in the development of a de novo operating system in Rust -- not for its own sake, but rather because it is the right approach for the problem at hand. I talked about this a bit in a recent talk[0], but expect much more here soon, as we will be open sourcing this system in a few weeks.

Beyond the new system (called, appropriately enough, Hubris), we have been using Rust at more or less every layer of the stack: microcontroller firmware, early boot software, operating system kernel, hypervisor, and (of course) user-level. Again, this is not by fiat or to do it for its own sake; we are using Rust emphatically because it is the right tool for the job.

More generally: Rust has proved to be even more important that I thought it was when I gave this talk. My blog post from a year ago goes into some of this updated thinking[1], but honestly, my resolve on this continues to strengthen based on my own experience: Rust is -- truly -- a revolution for systems software.

50 years ago, I was 100% in favor of making weather satellites. I was right, then, too.

What they are building at ITER lacks any apparatus needed for actually getting usable power out of the system. All of that is still completely theoretical, and needs, just for itself, decades of development work not even begun. Likewise, any of the apparatus needed to swap out parts of the reactor as they get destroyed by hot-neutron flux. That, too, has not even been started on, and will not be for decades. When ITER destroys itself, there will be nothing to do but bury it. They are not even prepared for that; is built above ground.

Read up on what capturing hot neutrons involves. The short answer is that it is all, necessarily, monstrously more expensive to build and operate than a fission reactor needs.

Fission reactors are not competitive today, and get less so every day. A reactor that costs 10x the equivalent fission plant will be even less competitive in 50 years, which is the earliest one could even conceivably be completed.

There is no plausible scenario in which Tokamak fusion ever becomes an attractive power generating option. Even orbiting solar-power satellites make more economic sense, and they are bonkers.

There are other, more plausible fusion alternatives, but there is no money for them. Tokamak eats all the fusion money.

The Tokamak research program makes sense only as a jobs program to keep hot-neutron physicists employed so there remains a pool to draw on for weapons work. It has no plausible product.
True :) I would have to time it just right.
> France has some secret nuclear technology, or do they have different physical constraints

France's new nuclear is exactly as outrageously expensive as the US's. Flamanville unit 3. Expected to be built in 4.5 years, €3.1B. Now at 14 years of construction, €19.1B, could be more.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flamanville_Nuclear_Power_Plan...

We have a vastly different and better set of technology in 2020 than we did in 1970. The tech for pouring concrete and welding miles upon miles of rebar and precision piping have not improved. Solar and wind and storage are in the process of leapfrogging all power generation by steam turbines.
Capitalism is prevalent not just because it's codified into law, but because, I think, it plays well into innate human tribalism. Especially at the level of our elite cesspools of good ol boys.

very late to this story but I spent the night in the Price Tower in Bartlesville. It was cool to look at but pretty miserable to be in. The elevators are bizarrely shaped and custom, constantly break down. I remember the same office had a globe that Wright refused to let in since it was not cubical (and had to be sawed in half to get into the building). The shower was ridiculously tiny and inconvenient. It struck me as so weird that the guy designing the building seemed to be the one telling the guy paying for it what to do.

> Personally I found Google's C++ dialect to be sane, even pleasant. No exceptions,

Google's C++ dialect itself calls this out as a bug, not a feature:

"On their face, the benefits of using exceptions outweigh the costs, especially in new projects"

https://google.github.io/styleguide/cppguide.html#Exceptions

EDIT: Personally I like no exceptions normally but there's definitely classes of problems where exceptions are overwhelmingly superior, such as anything hitting files or a wire (eg, IPC). Serialization code is incredibly tedious to do error checking after every read or write call. This is where I think the "throws" proposal strikes the right balance: http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2019/p070...

There's no such rule. It just says avoid them if you can, otherwise go for it: https://google.github.io/styleguide/cppguide.html#Template_m...

And if there was such a rule, then Abseil wouldn't exist. You don't end up with your own template library by telling people to never write templates.

Wow, that would be amazing.

I haven't tried OpenMW in a year or more but I was really impressed with what they had managed, it was the first time I had ever played MW with a decent frame rate.. that original engine seemed to run poorly on any configuration of hardware I had over the years.
If you are feeling brave it can be done in Windows without any extra software...

1. Use DISKPART to wipe the USB storage, and create a new active partition as FAT32

2. Use Windows Explorer to open the ISO and copy all the files to the new blank USB Storage.

Works for most 'live' DVD/USB based distros supplied as ISOs, but not-so-much for .img files with multiple partitions (like Raspbian)
> I'm done repeating myself, the answer to what you posited is in the comment you replied to.

And I remain confused. You haven't presented anything here that looks like a measurment or number. I mean, if passive assistive technology (deployed in real cars) is clearly safer than drive-on-its-own automation (also deployed in real cars, c.f. Tesla AP), then that should be measurable. And in fact at least some measurements have been done (by Tesla, of its own fleet) and show the opposite.

All you have to do is show me the data that shows this is incorrect. But... you didn't. You're just citing an "answer". Answers aren't enough to rebut data.
Yep, this is exactly the type of application I don't care if it eats my RAM for a couple of minutes if it does its job well. In my experience it does. I just use `dd` if I have access to it but otherwise etcher does the job for me, for example on Windows machines.
> From what I recall, Linux was also Linus doing something because he wanted to, not necessarily because there was a business driver. I'm not saying don't, its just good to understand the motivation.

People rewrite things in Rust, not because of business reasons, but because they want to. What’s different here?
It often seems to be the case that, in cities, the interests of businesses are opposed to the interests of residents.
So is it a piece of trash because of the size of the software or because it doesn't work well? I'll grant that the size seems excessive but I tend to use it because I hardly ever need to use it and it makes a task that I don't want to have to care about really really easy. That's sad if there's a smaller piece of software that makes the task just as easy and error proof I'm certainly happy to switch to that.
