Has there ever been a case where a jury has actually “invoked” nullification? I put quotes because a jury wouldn’t directly invoke nullification, they would just present a finding clearly contrary to the evidence. Follow up question, does a jury have to provide any reasoning for their finding? Or just the finding itself?
As a native English speaker, I first learned of "active voice" and "passive voice" when I started using tools to check (and correct) my writing.

In terms of sentence structure, "active voice" means the subject of the sentence performs an action; "passive voice," therefore, is somewhat the contrary: the verb acts upon the subject.

See https://www.grammarly.com/blog/active-vs-passive-voice/ for more.

Nope copilot is only trained on open source codebases.
The difference in internet adoption rate between those two time periods likely plays a key role in that.
A similar thought I've had is that the effectiveness of personal altruism is dwarfed by that of social institutions. For this reason, at least some portion of our altruistic impulses should be directed towards strengthening and spreading those institutions.
It seems pointless but it works. Our monkey brains like aesthetics. From the article:

Why write angry rants about EA people? There's the broader 99%+ of people who don't donate to whatever you deem more worthy. In all likelihood, you're in that 99%--there's probably income you could spare to give.
I understand that and don't really disagree with any of it, but what I'd say I'd say is that there's a third possibility of doing what containers already do -- use dynamic linking against fixed versions you control.

That is, the way I think of it is more along the lines of whether an executable is a "value" (in the Hickey sense), not whether it's statically linked. So the whole container can be a value, but it's not statically ed linked.

That has bearing on both incremental builds and distribution. This relates to my comments on the article about size optimization:

https://lobste.rs/s/rbdgr2/size_optimization_tricks#c_x6lz53

i.e. I think it makes sense for executables to retain structure for differential compression (they can be a tree, not a flat file.)

---

Also I'm wondering if the sandboxing can be done in a child process, without the cooperation of the build tool. I don't see why not, but I'll have to try it (and especially with the container model, which changes things a bit). That could actually make the dynamic library issue easier to deploy because you've punted some policy (hard-coded paths) into a separate tool, rather than having it in the build tool.
> If the developers working on the project are hostile to your efforts

Fortunately that is not the case. They're really hoping I can make it all better as it's painful to work with all around.
Not too many companies have a market cap over a trillion dollars, and if you don't then you can forget about competing on the upcoming process nodes that will require enormous capital.

Samsung's internal processor division seems to be sucking. Google is trying it half-heartedly like they do with nearly everything. Nvidia and AMD haven't really tried to compete for the desktop ARM market, and Intel certainly hasn't. Qualcomm has rolled their mobile chips for laptops, but they remain mobile chips in a larger form factor. So Apple is in a class of its own for desktop-grade ARM CPUs.

Not an artist, but (confirming against DeviantArt) with DALL-E etc it appears much lower cost to take bigger -- actually artistically more impressive -- risks. And dare I say more ego-less?

One thing I have wondered: what will these generators do to the corporate art market -- art bought in bulk for a hospital or office space. Will interior design specialists pick up prompt generation as an added skill?
Can you expand on why you think it's nonsense? You seem to have very strong opinions on this and I'm just wondering why.
> Slavery wasn't a crime.

Slavery was 100% enabled by the fact that escaping from slavery was a crime.
Cops, prosecutors, DAs, judges, mayors and governors all have varying authority to "control what crimes are punished", in addition to who gets punished and the severity of that punishment. In that context, it doesn't seem so strange for juries to have some authority too. All this latitude among different actors in the justice system just shows how having an incredibly vast number of "crimes" on the books guarantees loopholes and widespread abuse.

Gen 12 machine with low heat is an exception rather than the norm sadly. It must be possible, since there are a few machine out there that manage to do it, but most machines right now are quite hot and has low battery life (compared to 11th gen), especially the P-series in thin-and-light form factor (I am writing this comment from Lenovo X1 Carbon Gen 10 with 1280P, which can't even match the Cinebench score of the frame.work)
Yes and no. Having wealth creates more opportunities to create wealth - a person who had relative wealths to be able to learn to read, and sleep & eat properly will be more able (and probably willing) to support and grow themselves, their family, and their society.

In terms of people setting up a successful and prosperous society and culture, then yes that can't be moneyed into existence.

Doesn't mean that thoughtful money can't help people or their society though.
It can also go the other way, with a jury convicting someone even though they don't believe the person is guilty.

Some say this would not be a problem because unlike in an acquittal the judge can overturn a guilt verdict. That's not a convincing argument because much of what a jury does is decide which of believable but conflicting witness accounts to believe. The judge often has no way to distinguish between the jurors found the prosecution witnesses more believable (and so the judge should let the conviction stand) and the jurors found the defense witnesses more believable but decided to convict anyway because they didn't like something about the defendant such as their race, or bad things they did not relevant to the crime they are being tried for (and so the judge should acquit the defendant).
Not in the way commercial gene selection would enable. It would give more power to the rich to breed genetically superior humans, something that was previously up to chance, and a level playing field for everyone, regardless of social status. In a few generations, rich families would be untouchable genetically, producing a superior lineage and widening the social gap.

This is why it's critical that access to this technology is democratized and equally accessible to everyone.

It's crazy to me that we're already approaching Gattaca, and the discussion does not revolve entirely on how to prevent it.

I am able to get 4 or 5 hours of intensive programming done on battery power... running multiple IDEs, Android emulators, browsers, etc. I've never tried it with a normal usage pattern because I only use battery power for working.
Wrong. There is a clear set of logical rules by which you can look at code and reason about whether or not there are resource errors. If you can do it, a computer can do it too. You may need to have hints, like annotating a function called "alloc" or "open" as creating a resource, but I think that's not unreasonable.

This is a structural practice our government tends to favor. They can regulate larger actors and keep them in line more easily in order to limit the options for misbehavior downstream.

To employ in the U.S., you have to report what you paid people to the tax authorities. The employer can employ and do commerce on condition of compliance and the good grace of government recognition. Individuals, in the end can do whatever they want as long as the paper trail is managed by the economic machine.
>The only reason C doesn't (often) have similar supply chain attacks is because pulling in dependencies is so hard that you aren't likely to end up with a 10k dependency project.

Or the lack of canonical package manager means the developer has to actually spend time to inspect the quality of each dependency instead of `npm install is-odd`ing like there is no tomorrow.

It also acts as a "filter" to prevent adding complexity to the dependency tree.
In the US, the terms university and college are used more or less interchangeably.

In the UK, a university is a collection of semi-independent colleges, each with their own students and faculty and their own departments for all the various subjects. A university college is the founding college in a university. (University College London is a constituent college of the University of London.)

So the name might sound comically redundant to Americans, but it makes sense in the British system.

Or if you want to use ARM but don't want to be tied to the Apple ecosystem.
The P-series CPU this article is advertising is not the one you want if you are concerned about battery life. The P CPUs consume as much energy as is practical, in their quest to go faster. These CPUs use 28-64W when active, while their slower U-series counterparts use 15-55W. There was a Dell laptop on Notebookcheck yesterday that had a measured 13-hour battery life and a U-series CPU.

ETA: Comparable laptops reviewed by that site get 8hr runtime from a 71Wh battery and the P CPU, or 13 hours from a 60Wh battery and the U CPU.
To juries? Or to the US legal system?

In an ideal world a good judge is likely better for you than a jury if the law is on your side. Unfortunately good judges are hard to pick, and elections of judges don't seem like a solution.

In terms of the legal system itself, there is way too much room for power bias that needs reform.

In theory the law is blind, applying to everyone equally. In practice it is executed by humans who are anything but blind. Bad actors exist at every level, police, DAs, prosecutors, judges and yes, juries.

Humans, and humanity, should be in the loop, but equally its hard to find sufficient quantities of good humans to participate.

Especially in the current political climate, elections for judges seem particularly fraught. A blood-hungry mob favours those who take a "lock up everyone forever" approach.

Equally, seeing the court as a mechanism for politics, from the highest court to the lowest, while it might be good for politics is bad for justice.

There is a lot to dislike about the current system with its various prejudices - but reform is hard because quality people are hard to find. And every bad apple in the system erodes public trust - and once trust in the system has gone it is hard to regain it.

So what would be a better alternative? Not necessarily a better system, but a system populated with better candidates. In many places that means voting for moderate candidates who are focused on justice, not law. On people with character, not who screams the loudest, or has the most extreme viewpoint. On supporting those police honestly "protecting and serving" while at the same time having a police force actively rooting out corruption and prejudice.

Trust is hard earned, and easily lost. Mostly its in the "lost" bucket right now. It will take a lot to get that back.

Doesn't belt wear produce noticeable symptoms prior to actual failure? I recall timing belt issues at least being noticeable prior to them failing - the only sudden failure I am aware of was when the engine dropped out of the bottom of my parents car when I was a kid - and honestly you could have argued that that car was itself evidence that everything in it needed to be replaced.
I think plenty of people in EA believe the same thing, for instance 80,000 hours has government and policy listed as a priority area for people to work in https://80000hours.org/articles/government-policy/
It’s not drive. Just investment. There is no demand for high performance desktop/laptop ARM CPUs outside Apple.

Chromebooks are mostly low price, and may lack the software to truly push the chips often (without dropping into dev mode).

Windows on ARM seems to be a near failure. Very little native software and x86(-64) emulation is far slower than Rosetta. May not matter, they seem to be low cost machines anyway.

Linux just isn’t a big enough consumer market to drive it.

Server seems to be the big front for ARM, but that’s a very different chip. So I’m under the impression ARM laptops (outside Apple) are just phone chips, which don’t compete on the same level.
That’s pretty bad compared to m1. Less than half the battery life.

Also Samsung laptops don’t last in my experience. They make short term tradeoffs at the expense of long term reliability.
Recently went to India, there is lot of changes to the roads and lane system is being followed on highways as far I have seen, this is in Hyderabad. One of the major causes for these accidents are drunk and drive but now it's changing with hefty fines.
Yes. 14 years ago. :)
I've played with an AMD 6800u laptop and I would say it's the ideal x86 laptop chip right now. Normal usage at the 12w mode or light gaming at 20w mode was super impressive. Even though 12th Gen Intel chips have made great performance gains Intel is still relying on unsustainable high turbo boosts to get the benchmark numbers.

I just recently stumbled across these two otherwise identical laptops.

True - I guess I meant "time is money" in the broader sense really (ie I have other things I would prefer to spend my time doing, whether paid or not).
Proclamation of someone's idiocy is the laziest form of argument.

Wouldn't that unduly bias the jury selection? In effect the employer is being allowed to buy extra representation.

> at least some portion of our altruistic impulses should be directed towards strengthening and spreading those institutions.

Which in most cases is going to involve destroying the existing institutions in societies that aren't creating much wealth, since it's precisely their existing institutions--corrupt governments and low social trust--that are preventing wealth from being created.

The point is that it only takes an arbitrarily small probability for an infinite cost event to have an infinite Expected Value if you prevent it (and an infinite ROI if you even marginally improve the probability of prevention), so all of these outlandish far future hypotheses with catastrophic costs get priority from EA proponents over saving real lives today with certainty.

AK-74 ie. 5.45 version, not the old AK-47 (i.e. 7.62), is very fine in the 300m exercise with the plain iron sights. In the burst mode naturally only the first bullet in the burst hits the target at that distance while the second usually hits at least a meter to the right (for the right handed position) - that is solved in the totally new and unrelated AK-94 where 2 first bullets are able to go out before the recoil jerks the gun.
Before any real implementation and mess producing, i always use what i called the "Smart gateway" pattern.

It's just normal gateway with a bunch of `if then else` for business logic to decide at the edge.

Whats interesting to me is how which fringe disaster scenarios people decide are extremely important and which they decide are ridiculous seems pretty closely tied to their cultural circles. So, for instance, it's extremely unlikely than anyone here will get hurt by nuclear power, GMOs, mass surveillance, or artificial general intelligence anytime soon. We could take any one of those technologies and imagine extreme SciFi levels of future tech and incompetent or hostile governments, and then postulate the possibility of a large threat, based upon our imagination.

At least in the online groups I frequent, it seems that the latter two are seen as self-evidently dangerous, not because of any particular harm they have done, but because of imagined future harm. The former two are considered ridiculous things to worry about, because it's considered silly to imagine future potential harm. Perhaps because the former seem tied to uncool hippy types, and the latter seems more tied to cutting edge tech types?

I personally don't worry about any of these techs, since all of the danger I've seen appears greatly exaggerated. But it's curious to see how important trendiness is to fringe doomsday scenarios.
