The Ken Thompson hack is not undefeatable. You can detect it using a cross compilation technique comparing the binary output with a clean complier. I think you have to about 4 compilations to figure out if you're infected, but then you don't know which one is infected and which one isn't. You will need more data points to compare. Disassembling the binary would help as well if you know what you are looking for.

Hunter Biden's laptop? 2 years ago it was lies planted by the Russians and peddled by evil Russian sympathizer Republicans trying to destroy democracy. The New York Post was banned from Twitter. Now, leftist news outlets have come out and confirmed the information.
> Can Elon and three of his "friends" own each 14.9999% of Twitter without triggering the poison pill, so getting to 59.999%?

I'm guessing not: 1) if it were that easy to circumvent, it would be a pointless tactic that wouldn't be bothered with; and 2) I haven't read the actual language, but IIRC some articles that have described it as also including "family members and individuals acting in concert."

A good rule of thumb is: if it took you a short amount of time to think of a "cleaver trick" to defeat something "important," your trick most likely doesn't work. That's either because it fails for reasons you haven't through of or someone already thought of it and countered it.

Perf sched shows you scheduling latency (time spent waiting on CPU runqueue in Runnable state), but not "demand" for (some of) the system resources like the load figure tries to estimate.

I think the author didn't realize that the unit of load is just "number of threads" doing _something_ (wanting to be on CPU, running on CPU or waiting for I/O in D state on Linux, just CPU stuff on other Unixes).

Load average is just "average number of threads" doing something over last 1,5,15 minutes.

So if just the single-number averaged over multiple minutes is not good enough for drilling down into your load spikes, then you just go look into the data source (not necessarily source code) yourself. Just use ps or /proc filesystem to list the _number of threads_ that are currently either in R or D state. That's your system load at the current moment. If you want some summary/average over 10 seconds, run the same commant 100x in a row (and sleep a bit in the between) and count all threads in R & D state (and then divide by 100 to normalize it to an average).

It's basically sampling-based profiling of Linux thread states.
I think that efforts to suppress things like "Easy Tax" where the feds would send you a pre-filled-out form that you could agree or disagree with are almost certainly malice. There have been multiple attempts over the years and the anti-tax Norquist crowd comes down. If they can't end taxes, they don't mind it being difficult to file taxes and they say that it's because they wouldn't mind someone accidentally under paying or under reporting taxable income and it not getting caught.

Part of the political resonance with the tax issue is the cost of doing taxes and the stress it causes. If the process was as simple as verifying a document, signing it and sending it back (or heaven forbid, docusigning it and clicking 'next') then the discussion changes to "what are my taxes doing?" and "is this worth it?"
Like I said, if someone comes with an obvious use case, and you claim it's not a use case, or however you want to twist your words ( impractical use case or whatever), well, then the discussion ends right there. What else do you want to discuss then?

It costs less than 10M to train. Why hand so much to hardware or cloud? Soon enough there will be open source GPT-3's, at least two are in training as we speak (BigScience and EleutherAI).

> these large language models also have limited business value today

The Instruct version of GPT-3 has become very easy to steer with just a task description. It can do so many tasks so well it's crazy. Try some interactions with the beta API.

I believe GPT-3 is already above average human level at cognitive tasks that fit in a 4000 token window. In 2-3 years I think all developers will have to adapt to the new status quo.
You are right - I wasn't really writing it for a general audience, more for the few thousand people that are working every day in the commercial satellite imagery industry.

> But based on LVT, open fields in the middle of Manhattan is not the maximally productive economic use for that land.

I'm not sure this is true though. Manhattan wouldn't be close to what it is today without central park. It's not very hard to make the claim that central park provides more value than putting up apartment buildings would. Central Park makes that island some of the most expensive land in the world.
This is not comparable to crippling the efficiency of the US tax system for hundreds of millions of people in order to fluff corporate profits.

For your specifics:

1. I'm not sure I get this point - the ability to verify membership is decentralized and anyone can build things leveraging that. In the urbit case this works well for auth/ID. Ownership can also be transferred without a central authority (this is new).

2. This isn't true (Urbit IDs are another easy example), but decentralized state consensus is something you get from blockchain that didn't exist before. That's a new thing (and lots of other new things come from that idea).

3. Anonymity is a different feature sure, not a guarantee in any of this.

The reason I mostly avoided engaging on the specifics is because the rest of your comment and the way you engage suggests it won't be worthwhile.
Some of the Lear models don’t meet noise regulations and need modifications to continue to be used.

But in general, older aircraft are safe. (For years, I flew a 1967 C182 piston single.)

Thirsty jets are selling at a discount in times when oil is expensive. Pre-COVID, you could buy an airworthy Cessna Citation for basically the value of the remaining time on the engines. They got to be worth more after that for a couple of reasons, but the cost of buying the airplane is not the last of your spending in the airplane world and especially not in the jet world.

I could easily afford to buy a clapped-out legacy Citation. I could not afford to feed and maintain a legacy Citation. It might be similar to horses in that regard, just with extra zeroes.
This reminds me of the now classic article: http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2006/09/good-agile-bad-agile...

Your conjecture isn't bad merely for lack of evidence its bad because its wrong.

In brief what does it mean to be toxic? To be toxic is to have internalized and act out norms and behaviors that predictably do individual or systemic harm to other with which you interact contingent on the system. Lying to and about your coworkers and eating their lunches in secret is a toxic behavior that will damage the trust of your fellows. Toxic is culturally defined in terms of what behaviors are damaging and indeed may often be under-specified. A culture that is dominated by individuals that are misogynists or racists may actually treat tolerance as toxic and bigotry as normal even if they are on average very damaging. This behavior always has an origin story. The classic one being in group has most of the money and power and uses it to advantage members. Members justify this advantage by imagining that they are inherently superior rather than the benefactors of corruption and teach their children this fictional superiority at their knee. Source: The entity of human civilization

An adult asking another adult to prove that is akin to asking someone to prove that 2 + 2 = 4 prior to discussing an advance in mathematics.

Unlike racism and other forms of in group out group bigotry science fiction as a culturally corrupting influence doesn't have thousands of years of history in which all humanity has as part of its common heritage. It needs therefore additional justification. On average science fiction favors oft oversimplified idealistic values. It's hard to see how you could find that culturally it is the source of toxic tech bros rather than a past time. You might as well blame beer and Apple computers.

If you are finding that many matches that early, it might help to do multiple passes. On the first pass, identify up to X number of duplicates.

Because of all the things the electorate cares about, DMCA reform is near the bottom of the list. People are largely happy with the status quo where they can pay a few bucks a month and stream music and TV to their heart’s content.

And if a threat to this regime were to seriously arise, the entertainment and software industries — which are both still some of the highest-growth industries in the country - would take notice and scream bloody murder. These industries employ millions of Americans (including many people who frequent HN) and generate billions in revenue, and they aren’t going down without a fight.

I once investigated it for a company. I found that Luciferase uses 1 ATP molecule for one photon. I calculated that I'd need kilo's of ATP per day for a 200 lumen lamp. We stopped the project soon after (we also looked at closed ecosystems etc).

But maybe, with large surfaces, in situations where you only need very little light, It might work. A closed glass container though, I wonder, will it remain efficient? I think closed ecosystem haven't been that successful right?

IANAE, but it seems like the pinch point is the temp where the difference between your cooling fluid and instrument temperature is the lowest. in other words, this is where your cooling efficiency is lowest.

This is probably doubly tricky at such low temperatures because the low average energy makes it difficult to even cool it further to begin with, never mind how cool the rest of your cooling systems need to be to actually sustain such low temperatures of your cooling brine to begin with.

It took months to cool the instruments to these temperatures, but it could have taken even longer.
You can also refer to "organizing" or "reforming" the militia, or anything else, by modifying the law under which it is organized. But that fact doesn't even suggest that "organize" or "reform" refer to the act of issuing laws. And it is clear that being "regulated" [Washington does not refer to "regulating" at all, only to the state of being regulated] also doesn't refer to that act, as Washington uses it. It refers to the opposite of being "irregular".

The argument "I don't like George Washington's ideas about militia reform -> 'regulated' means governed by a body of formal laws" isn't something I would be proud to advance.
One of the big points in the article, and the complaint against TurboTax, is that they're positioning their product as "free", when it isn't.

And here is this subthread, recommending "FreeTaxUSA" … for $13.50+state.

It might be cheaper, better quality, or better quality/price … perhaps. But is this not exactly the same thing? (Perhaps with less advertising, e.g., not running a commercial to millions of people repeating "free" a gajillion times.)
Are the Galician, the Basque, the Catalan, and even some Andalusians happy to be part of Spain? Who is hallucinating here?

Were referendum voters not beat? Is this also an hallucination? That was just unjustifiable. Legal or not, Spain left the catalans who want to decide their future no other choice than to organize a mock referendum. This is what happens when you deny peoples rights for that long. And after seeing how the Spanish government reacted on its own peaceful citizens, how would anyone want to stay?

Nobody said Catalonia was the only one suffering during the dictatorship, lots of people from many places in Spain did. And I am not sure why they want to stay in, especially seeing how certain things will never change.
I find it concerning you assume my taxes look like typing in a few numbers that takes 30 minutes. Without Robinhood auto-import for stock sales, I'm looking at manually entering 100+ transactions with cost basis, sale price, sale date, and long-term vs. short term entries.

Yes, but you have a unitary government. In the US, states have a constitutional authority to independently administer taxes inside of their borders, and there is no way in hell that they are going volunteer that power away. Also, states have the power to tax income that is generated outside of their borders where have no power to require reporting. So they couldn't legally automate those tax filings even if they wanted to.

The US government has zero power to change any of this.
