>It also now allows someone who is in a car stopped by police or is being questioned to tape the encounter *and limits the scope of the types of police actions that trigger the law to only those that are possibly dangerous.*

I've read that several times, and I think they're saying you can't record the encounter if it's not dangerous? Of course, the police would say there was never any danger, as they're there "to protect and serve".
Is the main use case being splitting large uncommitted change set into logical units in _one pass_ rather than few iterations of `git add -p && git commit`?
C provides an API, not an ABI.

The compiler provides a mapping from the stable, (relatively) portable, well-defined API -> the unstable, non-portable, ill-defined ABI of the host system.
I feel like you're going around in some odd circles here. I'm not really super interested in trying to guess the odds of things we don't know about or things that have never (to our knowledge) happened, which makes me pretty skeptical of any concept built on the fermi paradox to be honest. Too many unknown unknowns.

Your assertion is that the things that face us now are somehow less likely to destroy our species than the things we faced before, thus the "great filter" must be behind us. Ignoring for a moment that we certainly don't even know all the potential species-killing events we potentially face (ie. unknown unknowns), I haven't seen you explain why any of the ones we have faced are less of a problem now, or why any of the ones we face now are less dangerous than the ones we faced before. You just assert it as true and then when pressed try to haggle on some percentages you seem to have pulled out your ass.

> Yet another form of misinformation is political lies of the sort that we’ve been seeing most notoriously from Russian propaganda lately.

Are you referring to propaganda that Russia is spreading or the labeling of anyone who disagrees with the common narrative as Russian propaganda? It would seem to be there's a lot more of the second going on. Likewise, as much misinformation as there is going around, there's just as much labeling things as disinformation in order wield political muscle, which was rampant for the last two years during covid.
Fun "game", but asking you to identify one of the main roads, vs some minor, three-house road makes it very luck-based.

This is so inhuman. Humans are dirty. Stop trying to turn us into machines. Licking fingers is perfectly fine, no matter what anyone says.

Next they will be try to get us to stop sniffing ourselves, something everyone does and just doesn't realize.
It's a medical measurement, not about political or social BS.
General comment:

I wish more articles would correctly use "misinformation" or "disinformation" depending on the context.

Disinformation is the deliberate spreading of false information to mislead the audience.
Universities are not "given special laws." What nonsense.
Ubuntu is Debian (architecturally), plus the stuff Ubuntu added, so I believe the latter is more practically accurate.
I chose my words carefully to say, not that it "isn't happening", but that it isn't happening at anywhere near the same level. If you're going to suggest that I "look stupid", please accurately represent the argument that I "look stupid" about.
> Yikes, I don’t want to live in a world where calling bullshit is “obviously rude” but I’ll bite.

Sadly, this is an is/ought problem. I don't want to live in a world with poverty and war either, but that doesn't make it fact.

> What does this prove? Solar Winds, Colonial Pipeline (maybe more relevant here), etc.

The point of pen tests is not to guarantee perfection. There are also ways to sweep things under the rug if those in charge are so inclined. But the existence of those things doesn't mean pen tests aren't done, or that nobody cares about security.

> Your search link doesn’t include anything about extensive penetration tests ensuring the security of these devices. That’s the claim. Where is the evidence?

Did you look at either of the first two hits? The first four indeed are evidence that the government does pen tests. The first hit is a government department that solely exists to do penetration tests[1]. The second one called "PENETRATION TEST GUIDANCE" is all the rules regarding how penetration tests must be done[2].

2: https://www.fedramp.gov/assets/resources/documents/CSP_Penet...

Ok your turn for evidence. What evidence do you have that all of those things are fake? Or that none of the compliance officers actually check it?

> Also calling someone’s knowledge “out of date” is a, dare I say rude assumption.

You're right, I apologize for doing that. I actually thought that was more charitable than the other possibilities, but it doesn't add anything to the discussion so should have been left out.
This is wonderful.

I used to be a Lyft driver, and something that seemed would be interesting at the time is a system, not unlike this one, for learning a city. In London to drive a cab you must do this super difficult test, and this means cabbies are very knowledgeable about the city. This is something in that vein, love it.
This game was fun, but it’s way too easy. I suspect 90% of players score over 90 points. Do you have any data on this?
Neither do I, however WSDOT has not released any details on the project but their renderings indicate they want to widen the freeway to some 10+ lane monstrosity[1]. Meanwhile Cascadia High Speed Rail has ideas about replacing the existing BNSF/Amtrak bridge with a double deck four track + four care lane bridge in addition to the I-5 bridge[2]. This combined makes a ridiculous amount of car lanes and railway tracks, plus a redundant bridge. There must be a better—and cheaper—way to cross this river.

Drug design systems of any kind help design drugs. If you target a disease mechanism, it’s a medicine. If you target a pest, it’s a pesticide. If you target an unwanted plant, it’s a herbicide. Interrupting or augmenting a biological response can be both good and bad. Trying to find similar compounds is neutral, merely duplicating your starting choice. Where do you think chemical weapons came from other than drug design?
Yes, but in the meantime, the cops are allowed to beat, detain and arrest you. While your case rises to a right-wing packed SCOTUS, you will most likely lose your job, have issues with any kind of clearance (resisting arrest can be a felony depending on circumstances), face difficulties during any custody battle and possibly be incarcerated. Then if the courts rule in your favor, you receive nothing except your world reduced to ashes. In the US justice system, the process is the punishment.
Awareness by Anthony De Mello

I've been a follower of Eastern Philosophy for 20+ years and have also read most major religious and philosophical works, but during my reading of this book I experienced Satori, Englightenment, Awakening, Nirvana, 'Receiving The Gospel', whatever you want to call it.

Oddly enough, it happened to a friend after their reading it, too.

I haven't been the same, in the best way possible, ever since.

Anthony was well-read and traveled and his background as an Indian, Jesuit Priest and practicing psychologist put him at the perfect intersection of experience to deliver such a life-changing work that encompasses religion, science, relationships, your psyche, career, money, philosophy, spirituality, etc.

It's telling and (to me) validating of his mastery of life that, after his death, he was excommunicated from the church due to his 'blasphemous' works.

Where are you seeing 16 LEDs? Everything on the site seems to suggest it's a single LED. I'm not sure how you reach 1.5kbps with a single LED on a wide range of phones.
The article forgot to mention that their Adreno GPUs were IP acquired from former ATI, now AMD (Adreno is an anagram of Radeon)

If you ever feel like you made a bad financial bet, remember that AMD nearly bankrupted itself by spending too much money on buying ATI in 2006, and in 2009 sold Quallcomm their Imageon (now Adreno) mobile GPU division they got from the ATI acquisition, exactly when the smartphone boom kicked off the mobile SoC gold rush that made Quallcomm so rich. It's like shooting yourself in both feet. Twice. I wonder if whoever was at the helm of AMD back then managed to find other jobs in the industry after that.
Theranos got a great deal of funding too, and the truth about how none of the "Second Wave" ML self driving car technology comes even remotely close to safe self driving will be coming out probably later this year. The issue is that ML has no conceptual and causal understanding of anything. For confirmation, I've been carefully watching the countless "self driving" startups in San Francisco driving around, and I have almost never seen a driver in those cars not actively steering it.

I have an m1 Mac Mini and I love it.

Gaming on a Mac is sort of a losing battle, but from a strict economic sense, say you buy a M1 Mini.

It's good for 2 years, then the M2 Mac Mini comes out, you can buy that one if you need more speed. More speed. You're still coming out ahead versus buying a Mac Studio.

In fact, Apple tends to be very good about trade-in values, so you might be able to trade in the Mac Mini. I use Logic and I love it. You can always buy the m1 Mini, stress test it and if it's not enough take it back

Also, this is a much different question depending on how much you make. If you make say $60,000 a year, $600 is plenty for computer. If you make 400K a year, go ahead and treat yourself
I think it would be useful to use actual boundries of villages or neighbourhoods instead of circles. Not sure how difficult that is.

C2 likely (it's been two decades, I can't remember!) requires more specific protections, than just "kill anything on the current tty".

For example, C2 was pretty keen on only allowing a single admin connection at a time. We actually had to build a mechanism on top of SSH to guarantee that! It wouldn't surprise me if they required SAK to kick out remote users. "Bring this system fully into my control" kind of thinking.
Current USD M2 monetary velocity is barely above 1, which is far from "far more".
Dangerous encounters trigger the law which prohibits filming up close.
If you think you can do better than the activists for a given cause, I suggest you get out there and do it so we can see the superiority of your position. Otherwise, I think it's basically the same as armchair quarterbacking: people who have less expertise and no stake acting as if they know better than the people deeply involved in the problem.
Preserving the status quo doesn't make you a hero either.

HIV resistance is optional, sure. What about conceiving a child with sickle cell anemia? Why is that more ethical than trying to give a child a healthier life?

We do a lot of medical treatments on children without their consent. There are now (experimental!) open-heart surgeries of children in the womb. Is that unacceptable too?
Actually, they pretty much can do that.

Flightsuits are not complicated and the NASA ones, almost the same as the ones used in orbit, have been sold at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Center in adult sizes, or at Space Camp. As I recall, the actual astronauts receive standard sized flightsuits which are adjusted by a tailor. Astronauts are almost required to look sharp in public.

US military pilots sometimes order squadron flightsuits, with minimal approvals and lead time. If the pilots really wanted to, they are actually measured and tailor made for the pilots, instead of custom ordered from standard sizes.

More notably,the US Navy Blue Angles actually walk into a tailor in Pensacola, Florida and get measured for a flightsuit. A few days later they walk out in the first blue and yellow flightsuits we all at airshows, they test fit that suit, fly with it, make any adjustments, before several additional flightsuits are made.

For the 75th Anneversary of the Blue Angels[1], they had yellow suits made, presumably with command approval, and it couldn't have been difficult or expensive to have them tailor made for limited use.

The Russian cosmonauts and their tailors would have a pretty good idea of what material is approved for space use, and what they have in stock, so tailor made flightsuits would not be a huge undertaking. I'd assume they actually do have a tailor make or adjust the flight suits for the cosmonauts, to minimize the chance of snagging something in space.

Police body cam. That would be good.

In fact, if my impression of the news is correct, police body cams do more to protect the police from unjustified charges of abuse than they do to protect the victims of police abuse.

Perhaps that is an effect of police unions? Perhaps it is simply a good thing and we should have more of them?

People independent of the police filming it seems like a good idea to me. For all concerned.
All the different variations of names of the same road definitely made the game too frustrating to play much in my area. Simply counting all names that are only different by cardinal direction as the same name would solve it. I imagine in some places though this would be the wrong behavior.
In the U.S., the law is delineated where there is "an expectation of privacy." In other words, you can record anyone anywhere in public, but you can't record in a bathroom or dressing room. Police officers should not have an "expectation of privacy." Interestingly enough, you can record through the windows of someone in their house, the courts have determined.

How to make a templating language (Part 1)
The application-exposed ABI for those tasks mandates that you execute a few assembly instructions to make a syscall (and perhaps also do some work that the libc normally wraps around the actual syscall for you). ABIs deal with machine instructions, that's why the "binary" is in there.

The OS-provided API for the tasks are libc and Security.framework. Do you have any suggestions for a better API?
I'm actually thinking more attept-at-deniable than that. Like just getting into scuffles where no one can prove the phone didn't get knocked to the ground by honest accident.

People who are willing to do things like play copyrighted music so that videos of them get taken down by the copyright machine, while they are in the very act of supposedly upholding law and order, are willing to do literally anything.

I‘d be curious to hear more about what you're referring to, if you were willing to expand. What foundational features are new to Linux that would be really useful for cleaner init system (etc.) designs?

It’s kind of baffling how clunky/featureless/unintuitive apple’s Music app is, right? Most of their apps are slick and intuitive, but Music is just so…bad. Especially given how amazing iTunes used to be!
> The quality of the average thermodynamics textbook doesn’t help.

The very beginning of Huang’s statistical mechanics text is a really good, really short summary of axiomatic thermodynamics. The bulk of the book is 60s-era stat mech models, but the first couple dozen pages contain a surprisingly lucid exposition of the classic story of Clausius, Thompson, and Carnot. Rumer and Ryvkin is also a good book that explores things purely from a perspective of phenomenological axiomatics before plunging into statistics, and includes for example a discussion of how the potentials determine the equilibrium state under various conditions.

Unfortunately, neither of these subsumes the other, and I wouldn’t really recommend either as a first-time introduction, so that mental spot is still empty for me. But as a way to demystify thermodynamics (which I find myself reaching for every few years with disturbing regularity) they serve well.

(I also have a stack of various people’s notes that finally made the Legendre transform click for me lying around here somewhere, if anybody wants them.)
It's really just a floating point precision issue. Even if you represented the input matrix as a rational elementary type the output eigenvalues would be a subset of the reals and calculated as being floating point.
You could get around it if you had a special matrix type where you knew you were definitely going to get rational eigenvalues and you could dispatch on that type.
I’d say that’s more a OhMyZsh problem than a ZSH problem. There’s definitely faster and better frameworks/plugin managers.

However the crux of the issue is that a bunch of the neat features are built into default Fish vs being behind plugins in ZSH.

I still think (with sufficient effort), ZSH is the best (and I think configurable to be faster than default Fish with equivalent features), but Fish is the best out of the box experience.

Should my conclusion be that the reasons for unjustified police violence against blacks and the reasons for unjustified police violence against non-blacks have no overlap, and should therefore only be addressed by an identity-oriented organization for each race?
That is a very common tactic in my experience.

Arrest willy nilly, on court day withdraw the charges.

You can sue for "wrongful arrest". That would be a tactically silly idea for almost everybody who has these sorts of encounters
I recall when the Daniel Shaver murder happened, a lot of the same people who now criticize BLM were criticizing Shaver for not listening to the police, or saying he deserved what happened to him, and objected to the idea of police brutality existing at all.

Also:

> First wave: Handcrafted knowledge

> Second wave: Statistical learning

> Third wave: Contextual adaptation

I understood clearly enough the first two, but the slides become increasingly ambiguous and fuzzy towards the end; and it seems to me they are mixing up a bunch of not self-evidently related desiderata.

It is not immediate, for instance, that small "generative" models that are easy to interpret necessarily lead to better "abstraction" (whatever that means). And whatever this all has to do with "contextual adaptation" is to me anyone's guess.

Highly alarming (but sadly, from experience, unsurprising) to see such fuzzy position document from such an important funding agency for AI.

I’d see it as stability, in the “won’t need upgrades” outside of security ones.

A bunch of us have a trail of old macs that are weird to use because of the whole system is stuck on the last supported OS, which happens to be the most bloated for that hardware, and doesn’t receive updates anymore. Moving to another simpler system altogether makes it a better proposition. As a matter of choice, BSD is more familiar than linux in many ways.

M1 laptops are not in that position yet, but in 2 years I’d totally imagine getting rid of macos on sub machines.
Kind of the same as positing that a Lisp meta-circular evaluator or Smalltalk (syntax) fits on the postcard. There are so many more elaborations on semantics and further definitions missing

The problem is when officers construe filming video as interfering with their job. I wonder if this law would paradoxically enshrine the right to film officers anywhere outside of 8 feet.
It's so jarring to read comments like this because shows me how wide the range of interactions with police really is.

* Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi.

Among lot of books i've read this was the one that pushed me towards questioning my beliefs.
Although i can't say this book made me irreligious it certainly was a gateway to a whole new world.

* Calvin and Hobbes.

this is one of those things that completely changed my perspective on creativity, oh and not to mention all the things about life and philosophy in there, its in good spirit.

* Animal Farm

This is arguably the best piece of satire I've read that is also fun and
easy on the brain. It flows like water.

* The Little Schemer.

I hold this book dear. I've tried reading SICP twice and given up.
And thought LISP was not for me. The environment was horrible,
all those parens it was just confusing.
This book changed that, what it encouraged me to do is grab a pen and paper
and try to work everything out myself[1]. It was such a fun read and i owe most of my understanding of functional programming to this book.
Few days after finishing this book, i introduced this book to my friend
and we spent all our days discussing life listening to sufjan stevens and working through this book, it was a sweet time.

[1] I wrote my actual scheme programs on computer long after i had worked through the book(i don't recall exactly but it was after 5th or 6th chapter). An online friend of mine recommended that i try DrRacket as i could execute scheme there. It was a much friendlier environment.
