That’s not an “instead”. What you are describing is what jury nullification is.
Are they statically linked? (just need a few syscalls from the kernel and a basic ELF64 loader)
I’m seeing a 12mm-35mm. That’s pretty damn short at 12mm. And wider, and you’re close to fisheye. That could be fun for Zoom calls especially if you rock back and forth the whole time to play with that distortion.
I served on a grand jury for three months. We listened to police testimony, the DA's office told us the charges, and we voted. Police testimony was all we had to work with when deciding whether or not to indict. It felt like a charade.
Well, shouldn't there be a standard way to convey that, that is understood (as a matter of culture) to mean that? And if it's not panic then what is it?
Yeah. These would all have been "show up and pay at the door" type places, not sold out weeks in advance with pre-booked tickets. Bouncer (or sometimes door bitch) takes your money, unless the bouncer waves you through.
Life is a collection of catalysts that use free energy to order matter (reduced entropy) at the cost of waste heat (increased entropy).
Better to leave the law to the self-proclaimed "experts" who wrote and enforced laws permitting slavery for most of a century.
definitly agree.
If it's true, opening up the database port would be more worthwhile.
> I just want to emphasize that robotics in uncontrolled environments is very very hard.

I'm not sure what convinced you I was making this argument. My example was illustrative as a counter to *your example* of determining a specific dog breed. I'm trying to show an easier problem. But "easier" is comparative and doesn't mean the problem is "easy." I'm guessing this is the confusion? Let's be real, figuring out the dog breed by determining dog hair from other debris is substantially harder and I'm pretty sure you'd need a DNA scan. It would be near impossible (probably entirely) to differentiate hair of any type with current sensors. I don't actually think the shoe example is extremely hard considering these robots have lidar on them. Lidar can in fact tell you that something is roughly shoe shaped, so I'm not sure what your gripe is. No need for DNA scanning. No need for cameras or microphones. The problem is likely solvable given *existing instruments on commercially sold products.* This, again, doesn't mean the problem is "easy" though. Just that it can be solved.

> How much money will you make improving shoe rack recommendations by 2.5%?

Okay, but I'm assuming there's more than exactly one singular problem that the mapping can be solve. So I'm not sure what your point is.

Let's try a trivial example. One that *is easy* and will demonstrate that we can sell things beyond shoe racks with said data. Knowing the (approximate) square footage of your house is useful. For example, if you live in a 500sqft place, you can tell a lot about income because we know this is likely a small apartment. You probably can't afford a lot of stuff and Amazon probably shouldn't advertise luxury goods to you, especially large ones.

> Now, imagine putting the same number of statistics people, such as yourself, on a team in Amazon Healthcare.

I'm not sure why you're pigeon holling me and making this a zero sum game. I'm actively arguing an "and" position, not an "or" position. Yeah, health care is lucrative. But Amazon has an insane amount of wealth, more than they actually know what to do with. They are perfectly capable of being able to hire more than 200 positions for their robotics department, which is what they advertise on their robotics site. They are perfectly capable of increasing this number without taking away any funding from their health care side (not a zero sum game). I'd also assume that there's a significant amount of domain overlap considering that Roombas. Mapping warehouses is a pretty similar problem to mapping houses, so I'm not sure what the problem is.
That will make it easy for immigrants to seek asylum. That's why it aint happening.
Implementing Parts of the Swift Compiler in Swift
I am not a lawyer, but my understanding is that the idea that juries are for matters of fact comes from English common law. The constitution is a rather barebones framework. There is a lot that it doesn't cover.
Is this a hunt? There is already a large body of evidence that he attempted to destroy records that he was legally obligated to keep, and quite a few credible claims that he succeeded by flushing records down the toilet. To say nothing of the emoluments clause.

Trump was entrusted with the highest office of the land, and flagrantly violated the laws and his oaths. At the head of the party that consistently claims that "law and order" is a guiding principle, bringing him to justice should be a no-brainer, right?
Yeah this is basically what I was thinking after reading the article, thanks for spelling it out concretely.

My thought was that if you're going to assign infinite weight to unlikely possibilities, then why not devote your entire life to preventing time travel from being invented in the future?

Someone could invent a time machine and destroy the Earth before humanity had a chance to exist, etc.

It's just about as falsifiable as what they are working on.

---

Also, if you're going to be so abstract about it, then why you wouldn't want to optimize for the happiness and future vigor of AIs? If you're going to be a vegan, then presumably you care about non- human consciousness.

So what's wrong with a future with flourishing AI and without humanity?

There are too many ridiculous things to count here, and normally I would ignore it, but it seems like people are taking it seriously and it has consequence? (And the article is pretty well written either way)

---

It's weird that he had doubt that's like 1 sentence in the article, and then entire lifetimes of work that simply ignore the doubt:

My No. 1 worry is: what if we’re focussed on entirely the wrong things?” he said. “What if we’re just wrong? What if A.I. is just a distraction?

And as alluded to in the article, the wild swing from helping the poor to preventing AI has a huge moral hazard. With the former you can course-correct your actions based on observation of outcomes -- what happened as a result of the donations?

With the latter you can justify any action today by just pushing out the hypothetical benefits further and further into the future.

It resembles a religion that collects money today, promising benefits in the afterlife.
Then the teenager might ask, sure, that's credit like a bar tab or whatever and credit is convenient for all kinds of reasons, it's just, why do you need a whole other company to get involved and issue a specialized card to do that? Why doesn't the bank just say "we'll let you overdraft up to $4000 without any fuss but you'll have to pay interest on the negative balance"?
Reminds me of the killing of Ken McElroy[0]

>In all, there were 46 potential witnesses to the shooting, including Trena McElroy, who was in the truck with her husband when he was shot. No one called for an ambulance. Only Trena claimed to identify a gunman; every other witness either was unable to name an assailant or claimed not to have seen who fired the fatal shots. The DA declined to press charges. An extensive federal investigation did not lead to any charges. Missouri-based journalist Steve Booher described the attitude of some townspeople as "He needed killing."

The global response to covid was far worse than it could have been, with millions dead, tens to hundreds of millions out of work, and billions having a pretty bad couple of years. Other pandemics have been much more deadly than covid and will likely be in the future. The speed of modern transportation, and the interconnectedness of the global economy are great overall, but do increase our exposure to pandemics and their consequences. This isn't 'whackjob sci-fi apocalyptimancy', this is something that has happened many times before.
If you are already an experienced architect/engineer, then you don't need to follow standard models and processes, similar to how an experienced woodworker doesn't need to use a tape measure, or how ancient people with centuries of experience built amazing wonders of the world without fancy diagrams.

But most companies do not have a lot of experienced architects building products. A lot of companies can barely keep a handle on their dev teams, and worry a lot more about regulation and herding cats than building a decent product, so their Architecture Teams are actually Cover-Your-Ass Teams. Dev teams often don't even know that other teams exist, much less have any way to circulate a single diagram to them all, or talk about what the hell it's even for.

If all you've ever worked in is a tech company in San Francisco/Seattle, let me tell you... It's ugly out here in the land of normal businesses.

So software architecture is really for the average people working in average companies who could use a hand figuring out how to design and implement their product. They have never even heard of C4 or ADR. But those simple models and processes would absolutely transform their work from barely-functioning balls of shit, into the gloriously robust design the author's company came up with. Nobody else is helping them figure out how to do it; best practice is what they've got to work with. If they even know about it.

The only way to preclude jury nullification is to infringe on the rights of the jury as the sole determiners of fact, as you put it.

Without adding another non-jury body that can overrule the jury on what actually happened, how can you ever get rid of the possibility of jury nullification?
> The United States was founded on libertarian principles

It certainly wasn't based on modern libertarian principles, or there would not have been much of a government in the first place.

It certainly pays lip service to freedom, but pre-dates the modern libertarian obsession with contract and property law as supreme above all others.
Decompilation is very much part of reverse engineering. The two are not the same, but disassembling and decompiling code are extremely common techniques used to reverse engineer a program, algorithm, or protocol.
I can believe as a one-to-one comparison, cooling an office is more efficient. But people aren't turning off their home AC when they go into the office. If you figure that a majority of people won't even schedule their thermostat due to laziness, having other people at home, etc, and if even if they do, having their house cool down for their arrival home (5:30-6PM?) is still during a pretty hot time of day.

I would be pretty surprised if offset you could anywhere near the cooling of an entire office building considering all that.

I'm coming from the perspective of Texas where it's 100F effectively all day during the summer and I wouldn't move the thermostat from it's usual daytime setting of ~76F past maybe ~80F. Any more and it would take hours to cool back down.
it went wrong with a CEO that didn't listen to anyone.

10 hours ago we had a flood of network failures in us-central1 and saw no GCP status changes. We blindly attempted to mitigate in various ways (freezing HPAs because we thought that we were making excessive calls to external infra and getting throttled) and it resolved itself eventually. Maybe we were at fault the entire time but not seeing this issue exposed up on the GCP dashboard is infuriating.
I mean it's sort of just the obvious layering between input validation and business logic.

Once your domain objects get sufficiently complex more than just User, you end up with models. 3-layer i.e MVC

Generally it means that you made it to/through the interview process and didn't get the job. But technically you are correct.
You are probably right about meme/gifs (or xkcd comics) anywhere near the top indicating a low-quality post. Though they are fine if you can get a few pages in before finding memes/comics. Meme style gifs below the fold... probably not.

But we are talking here about headers with abstract "art". They are more there for style and "vibe".

Placing a Meme/gif/comic comic above the fold seems to indicate the author was unconfident about the actual content hooking the reader, and they decided to try and hook them with humour or recognisable memes instead. Which is a bad sign in itself.

All that custom abstract art in the header really tells you is the author cares about style/vibe. Which I'd argue is not a bad sign in itself; though perhaps it's a warning sign to quickly check other things, like does the style/vibe match the content you are expecting? Is this just low-effort content to attract newsletter signups?

It's also annoying when the header takes up more than half the screen. Especially more than half of a desktop screen. Phones are somewhat excusable. But I'm not sure there is a correlation between that and bad articles. Caring about style is not the same thing as being good at style.
sorry, this article is too late. the pendulum is already swinging back to architecture being good.
Of course it matters. If your code is an unmaintainable mess it now costs a million to add a bunch of features instead of $10k. That matters to someone. Maybe not the customers though.
Where can I read more on that?
Sit through jury selection and you'll see people vastly overestimate their ability to convince a prosecutor that they truly believe that.

When I observed jury selection I saw several people back down from stances that were clearly attempts to get kicked off the jury.

It's not like the lawyers ask one question then dismiss you.

I did see one guy who claimed he believed "all courts are invalid" hold up to some pretty intense questioning before getting dismissed. But by the grin on his face I could tell he relished winning that one.
Much higher level than a System Analyst. Enterprise Architects often work directly with the CIO/CTO to shape an organization’s long term technology strategy (i.e. 5+ year time horizons).

The idea being, they are supposed to be “architecting the enterprise”.
Learning all the things and making it yourself: priceless.
There are two lists buffer1 and buffer4. So these two lines assign a value to the 16th item in buffer1 and prints it with its hex value. The value is determined by arithmetic and bitwise operations.

For example, if buffer1[72]=107343, buffer1[190] = 25, and buffer[4]=18
(buffer1[72] >> (buffer4[buffer1[190] % 21] & 7))
(buffer1[72] >> (buffer4[25 % 21] & 7))
(buffer1[72] >> (buffer4[4] & 7))
(buffer1[72] >> (18 & 7))
(107343 >> 10)

>> and << operators accept integers as arguments. They shift the first argument to the left or right by the number of bits given by the second argument
i = 14; // Bit pattern 00001110
j = i >> 1; // here we have the bit pattern shifted by 1 thus we get 00000111 = 7 which is 14/2

https://docs.python.org/3/reference/expressions.html#binary-...

& operator yields the bitwise AND of its arguments (*If both bits are 1, the corresponding result bit is set to 1. Otherwise, the corresponding result bit is set to 0. so 1100 & 1010 is 1000*)
^ operator yields the bitwise XOR (exclusive OR) of its arguments (*so 0101 ^ 1111 is 1010*)

> Digitally

With the exception of stores that are cash only, 100% of my money movements in the past 10 years have been digital, from my perspective. The actual money movement technology doesn't really matter to me, as long as I can do it online. Excluding settlement times (which I don't notice, unless I'm doing a wire transfer), as a consumer there's no difference.

> without fees

With bitcoin, you're paying fees per-transaction for bitcoin itself, and both parties are paying fees to move money to/from fiat. Wire transfers for large transfers may be slower, but they're absolutely cheaper than bitcoin. Bitcoin is considerably more expensive for small payments.

> with a fair exchange rate

With the fluctuations in price in bitcoin, the exchange rate is rarely fair and almost always worse than fiat. Note that there's lots of cards that don't charge foreign transaction fees, and have quite competitive exchange rates.

To point it out again, using bitcoin requires two fiat exchanges, each of which charge fees and each of which has an exchange rate that the exchange is profiting from. If you're transferring fiat of the same currency, there's no fees and no exchange rate. Even if your transaction is between two fiat currencies, bitcoin is worse, because there's one extra layer of fees and exchange.

> With no limits on transaction sizes

I can't think of a time in which I've hit a transaction size limit. Who is this feature for? Transaction size limits exist primarily to protect people. If my card is compromised, it won't result in 100% of my money immediately (and irreversibly) being transferred away.

> with complete finality

This is an anti-selling point. If my money is stolen, I want to be able to get it back. If I typo an account number when I send a payment, I want to be able to reverse that payment.
-- I agree with you - however it's not that time consuming to get what you want - it's pretty easy once you get used to DALL-E - so far there isn't anything I've not been able to get on a couple tries (granted after spending ~$30 learning the prompt system)- however once you're used to it - it's fairly easy - I agree that the market for very custom work will go through the roof - but "I need a burger" or "I need an American looking hot dog" eeeek!!! =) --

I agree. I think of address space context switching overhead as the performance price we pay for not being able to run all our programs in a single address space, which we could safely do if we knew all the programs were emitted by a trusted compiler that disallows unsafe memory access. Imagine if system calls were just ordinary functions that can be called with no more than the normal function call overhead? What if they could even be inlined?

Obviously there's a lot of little details you'd have to work out. Like how to make such a trusted compiler in the first place, and how to sandbox unsafe code and legacy applications that were compiled by an untrusted compiler.

If this seems like it's far-fetched or too much work, consider what lengths high-performance hardware devices like HPC network interfaces go to avoid system calls at all costs, to the point where applications talk to the hardware directly. Is that really a sustainable practice long term? And how can anyone audit the security of such hardware devices?
I think the toll of interruptions has to weighed against the benefit of the interruption. Sometimes sacrificing your time to help someone get unblocked reaps benefits that make the sacrifice worthwhile. It's not just about your time.

Wow, this is bordering on delusion.

People will never be 'ready' to stop abusing and taking advantage of others, without cooperative measures (governments) to restrict such activity, what you have is a recipe for mass violence and a return to warlords and feudalism as those who can raise the largest mob take the lions share of resources for themselves.

As you should have realized from the previous reply, that was me declining to interact with you further (politely) once I realized you were just having fun arguing, rather than having a good faith discussion.
Turing complete languages are legacy cruft. There are no compelling use cases where they're actually more expressive, and sheer code execution performance is never the bottleneck in a realistic-sized system.
They could, but you could do it better by voting. All jury notification does is introduce randomness and bias.
> In that case, I would suggest coming up with your own pattern. Perhaps an unwrap() with a FIXME comment. Or a expect("FIXME").

That's the sort of thing that's a lot more effective if everyone does the same thing. So it's worth trying to standardise across the community.

Given as they linked the wikipedia article, it seems likely they are aware. Just because she lost on appeal does not detract from the parent's point, which is that clearly these things are not harmless otherwise there probably wouldn't be such a court case.
Yep, South Korea sent four ex-presidents to prison (three were pardoned, one is still in prison). It's not a perfect solution (obviously we'd prefer if we had presidents who didn't commit crimes), but I think it's a net positive. Surprisingly, when you throw an ex-president in jail, the society doesn't break down. The stock market barely even notices.
