If multiple Supreme Court justices do exactly the same particular thing that you think is a crime, but none of them are prosecuted, it is very likely that you were incorrect in thinking that what they did was a crime.

Ignoring a police order to disperse is a crime, but a police chief who directed the officer to make that order can generally ignore that order unless they are acting maliciously.

It's not at all out of place. You don't know what you're getting with an edible. The point being that these pseudoregulations aren't enough to keep you safe, even in a state like Kalifornia.

Medical Marijuana had been implemented since 1996 there

Is it out of place to suggest edibles in such a way that implies that there's no danger to them?

There's an overlap between legitimate but dysfunctional systems and very sophisticated scams that can make telling them apart almost impossible. The author points this out repeatedly - is this a super sophisticated scam or are the bank's systems just that bad?

For example, other commenters in this thread have pointed out instances where their banks would ask them for information that they should never ask for.

Those bank accounts belonged to protesting truck owners, not just donors, it’s right there in the article you linked.

The donated funds in the receiving accounts were frozen, temporarily, as part of the effort to end the situation, sure.

But not donor accounts simply for having made the donation, as was implied in the above post.

Your article does say “Some Conservative MPs have said constituents have reported that their bank accounts were frozen after they made donations”, but if you look further into that it seems to have been one MP talking about one constituent, and that doesn’t seem to be verifiable.

I wrote this many times, the lowest blood price for subduing Russia is a NATO-wide airborne operation to behead Russian government, and a mother of all airlifts.

You fight a mafia state the way you fight a mafia, by simultaneously dismembering, and beheading it.

To completely subdue Russia, NATO has an option to do first strike nuclear attack with half of its combined arsenal along the lines I wrote above.

Russia is a hypercentralised state beyond imagination. Russia will cease its existence as a state if Moscow region is taken out, and the most limited counterforce attrition is ensured.
That's adorable. The reality looks more like an inflamed populist movement mounted atop a bucking orange baffoon.
Are you familiar with the notion of Turing completeness? The basic idea is that lots of different systems can all be capable of computing the same function. A computer with memory and a CPU is capable of computing the same things as a state machine that moves back and forth while writing symbols on a tape, etc. It applies to this question in the following way: Physics can be simulated by anything that is Turing-complete. Or, put another way, we can write computer programs that simulate physical systems. So if you accept that the human brain obeys the laws of physics, then it must be possible to write a computer program that simulates a human brain.

So to maintain that having a human mind inside a computer is impossible, one must believe one of the following two things:

1. The human brain sometimes violates the laws of physics.

2. Even if the person in the computer behaves the exact same as their flesh counter part would (makes the same jokes, likes the same art, has the same conversations, writes the same essays about the mystery of consciousness, etc), they are somehow lesser, somehow not really "a full conscious human" because they are made of metal and silicon instead of water and carbon.

>have nothing to show for it in terms of something resembling human-level intelligence, or even any sign of understanding how we think.

Well of course they have no idea how we think. They're making no actual effort to study how we think. That's for cognitive scientists and neuroscientists, and AI people often sort of dismiss it as having too long a time-horizon or overly high compute requirements before it's applicable to "real world" problems.
Any server can at least log both data and metadata. Any server could at least monitor and alert.

I wonder if there is a theoretical way to use ecryption to somehow prove that a message was only handled the way it was claimed? Seems impossible on the face of it but I've only given it one minutes thought yet.

Could you for instance have a hypervizor that does not know anything about the comms, and the client supplies something encrypted that causes a server to be created on the spot, do the comms work, and go away, and all the hypervizor knows is that it ran a process for a while? And the encrypted thing the client submits is not just an envelope and message but also essentially it's own decryption and verification code, such that the client can verify that the server is running the code it submitted, which of course included no copying.
As a complete layman, I think cause and effect are backwards here. Specifically that the hyper networks will be the forcing function and generate ever better models which will eventually reproduce self adaptation and evolution.

Instead, I imagine that once models are competing for resources directly rather than via a human interlocutor will result in rapid evolution.

Whether that will generate AGI is questionable in my mind. It seems phrased as an optimization problem by TFA, but I think the goal criteria of the computer directed competition will influence that very heavily. We may see something vastly different from intelligence which is also extremely effective at... something

I just came to the same conclusion after some debugging. On embedded tomcat there is no access to resources and thus the popular PoC floating around doesn’t work.

If the latter, anybody can do that.

I agree with what you’re saying but just wanted to interject with a weird bit of Canadianism. I’ve never found a good way to describe this to non Canadians so if this doesn’t make sense, it’s me.

When I pay with a card, I actually have a couple of options. We use the terms ‘debit’ and ‘credit’. I can pull out a credit card and pay for something with someone else’s money. Or pull out a debit card and pay with my own. Debit comes directly out of my bank account and they’re physically different cards, with different chips, PIN numbers etc.

The experiences are identical for me, but dramatically different for poor merchants. The cards are almost identical, but if I use my credit card the merchant gets toasted. If I use my debit card, they’re only lightly browned.

So, long story short but you’re right. It’s the same. I don’t notice because merchants have to pass on the cost.

Thanks friend - this was interesting.

A few years of Golang under my belt and I still hate it. Russ Cox and co. seem incredibly arrogant to me in that they can ignore decades of PL research only to reinvent a bizarre way of achieving what other languages do in a more standard way (package management, error handling), or just adopt that standard super late (generics).

Go has some great qualities and you can make great software with it no doubt. But I find the development of the language frustrating to witness, not inspiring.

I find the "Some New Non-Library Whatever Project, in Rust" annoying because it usually seems like being written in rust is the main selling point. It just comes of as more garish advertising from the Rust Evangelism Strike Force. I don't care if my editor is written rust or c or haskell or whatever. Does it offer advantages to my workflow that my current editor does not? I often reach for ripgrep because it's fast and has convenient defaults. That it happens to be written in rust is a footnote.
Federal officers typically have pretty quick access to FISA warrants; otherwise there can still be multiple hours between requesting a warrant and having it issued, since it still requires legal review.

Fujifilm to Hike Film Prices by Up to 60% in April 2022: Report
Totally agreed. Especially when you're as popular of an org as github, assessing the technical level in a completely indiscriminate process can very easily reduce the pool of candidates that need to be assessed by the actual team that the candidate would be working with. I love people, but i hate interviewing people, and would rather risk losing one that MAY have been good if we started out more human than risk wasting my time interviewing completely unqualified candidates. Until i started reading comments it didn't even occur to me what they are doing at GH for interviewing could be seen as a bad thing. It's all about economics though, and results may vary. Make it easier or harder to hire based on how hard it is for you to fill the role.
That response gives me just a little more information, then. You will be really confused, and you also probably won't be capable of feeling remorse.

If making a 1%er's income and having status at a Silicon Valley FAANG company is a key part of your identity, then leaving will likely cause psychological damage. If you are able to dissolve that part of your ego first and then either keep your identity small[0] or replace it with something else you feel is just as important then you will be better prepared to evaluate other opportunities and places to live.

Perhaps first take a vacation to decompress and get perspective. In the likely event you still want to quit, cut back on your spending as much as possible. Create a plan and set a deadline and or savings amount where you will feel comfortable leaving. If this takes more than 3 years at $800k income you are doing it wrong.

A word of caution appears in the next paragraph as I write from personal experience. Long ago I told myself I will quit in 3 years based on my assumed savings rate. I then spent the next 3 years evaluating cities where I'd like to live, actively listening to people who have ideas in case they want to partner later, thinking up business ideas, etc. This secret mission gave my work/life a renewed level of enthusiasm.

Then the day came and I couldn't do it. I felt pathetic and I called my girlfriend to confess my failure during my lunch break. But she reminded me this is a life defining moment from which my ego may never recover. "If not today then assume never". So I quit according to plan that afternoon.

The highs have been high and the lows have been low since then but I have had a rich, full, and memorable life. It's still going great almost 2 decades later.

Don't you think that's a little disingenuous?

You're absolutely right about implementing the `Error` trait yourself in Rust, it's a pain! And with many things, the Rust team felt it was better to leave error experimentation to an external library, as the community can iterate more quickly and settle on a favorite. At the moment, that favorite is `thiserror` (for defining errors in a library) and `anyhow` (for working with errors in application code)

That's been a pretty common pattern in Rust - leave some less clear parts of the standard library out for external crates to implement and experiment on. So you'll see almost all big Rust projects use one of those error handling libraries. You _could_ implement it with just the standard library, but you're just giving yourself more work for little to no gain.

Here's an example without using external libraries:

https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&editio...

Not particularly good or bad (and I didn't even replicate all the functionality that `thiserror` gives you).

So yeah, Go and Rust have different philosophies for their standard library, and you can argue about which is better, but I don't think one can be proved objectively better than the other.
If you’re building a new house it’s close to free to run a bunch of Ethernet in the scheme of things so why not. But at some point you do draw a line. I probably wouldn’t run speaker wire everywhere these days.

You aren't wrong [1], but at the same time you are missing that it is entirely possible to provision a wifi setup that can support a large number of devices in a small space. In an office setting, you should be incredulous if they don't have it right. But at home, with consumer networking gear (like the WSJ is talking about)? No way, ethernet is going to outperform it - it will be like night and day.

I suspect that intra network latency has a significant impact on intelligent systems. Interconnectivity also seems crucial but as you add nodes the number of connections needed to keep that closeness in the networks scales dramatically. These connections also need space so if you keep the same level of interconnection as you add more nodes, your density drops and so your latency goes up.

There is thus a fundamental tradeoff between network size, network latency, and network interconnectivity that can't be avoided. While we may eventually beat the human brain on some or all of these measures, there is good reason to believe there are fundamental limits on the scalability of intelligence.
It requires more attention, brings more stress, in exchange for less critical accidents.

I think this is pretty much a constant in road security, where putting more stress and forcing the driver to pay attention leads to overall better outputs (enforced road bumps, sound inducing road sides, fake people display on crossing paths etc.)

PS: on people not yielding, speed are lower than on straight lines so it's still less problematic than usual non yielding. But I hope your neighbors will get used to roundabouts and navigate them better.
