Basically proving the Piketty theory of space, that all space efforts are eventually taken over & subsumed by military-governmental big dollar concerns. Unsurprising but definitely one giant leap for SpaceX away from being their own masters, away from being explorers & a venture/adventurers, & towards being a key element of the military-industrial complex. One perhaps with much less congressional hooks than previous M-I-C Complex.
The 1A states that congress should pass no law prohibiting the freedom of speech. That's really all the 1A is. Not much room for interpretation.

So yes. Your example easily doesn't violate the 1A.
I don’t understand. Wasn’t the President himself constantly asking the media to do as he liked? If Twitter felt compelled by the Democratic campign, why wouldn’t they have felt compelled by the GOP too? Did Twitter somehow foresee that the election, which was so narrow that it took until the weekend to call it, would be won by the Dems and not the GOP, and that therefore they should comply with the Dems’ requests and not the President’s?
It hasn’t, but not because that isn’t a great explanation.

I’m not looking for an explanation; I understand the theory. I’m just not super familiar with Swift — I’m looking for an example program that has a (potential) data race which leads to memory y safety.
In all honesty they're probably a little more careful and don't flagrantly violate the rules.
> The USSR fell in 1991 and the Russo-Georgia war wasn't until 2008. If you mean the South Ossetia conflict, that was an internal conflict by separatists that had some Russian assistance, much like Ukraine is getting NATO assistance. That's not what people typically mean by "invasion".

There certainly seems to be plenty of claims that Russia was overtly involved in conflict in south Ossetia and it was much more then just "assistance".
So what you’re saying is. If it’s not positive then it’s Sinophobia.
Best to Checkout alternatives e.g. https://text-generator.io does text to speech over 8x cheaper which is crazy, cloud storage costs going up a lot but compute costs have always been high esp for managed services/ml so shop around and on a code level, ideally use a wrapper around your Cloud usage to make switching easier
>As far as I know, the JVM checks at runtime for overflows, dangling pointers, etc. so ... I only have to worry about using a good operating system...

No, you have to worry about your Java runtime too. The JRE has hundreds of thousands of lines of C++ and can have memory safety issues:

https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-5/op...

> So what happens when Rust replaces a major component in some important framework or library ... but actually it's vulnerable to some weird CVE because of some unsafe calls under the hood?

You have a memory safety issue. Shit happens. If you are using Java, your runtime or OS can have a memory safety bug. If you are using Rust, the compiler, a library you consume, or the OS can have a memory safety bug.

The purpose of Rust is to reduce the surface area where such bugs can hide. In Rust, that surface area is the compiler and unsafe code. Well-written Rust minimizes unsafe code and audits it carefully, precisely because it is understood that this is where memory safety issues are most likely to hide.

The goal of Rust is to enable these low level components, like the JVM, to be written in a memory-safe language too.
There are other retailers to give your money to. Maybe they're not as convient or offer one day shipping but also don't try to rip you off as blatantly as Amazon's dodgy sellers are doing.
All, in all, if you also count Ukraine, NATO and EU expansion meant adding about a hundred million people to the western world. This may or may not be worth anything to you, but I'm glad you didn't make the decision.
So every 3D model not downloaded by the end of the year will disappear? 100000+ models that can help hobbyist creators build their dream project. I'm sure there are archivists that would gladly save them all so others can use them, but 1 month is quite a deadline. It's sad to see such a large amount of resources just disappearing
Ok, so if you’re the only one thinking it’s a problem, and assuming they’re not simultaneously and uniquely non-rational, there may be some logic to this. Questions:

- is the code / models / software expected to last a long time? Are these prototypes by another name?

— will you actually have to pay for that tech debt one day? Are you paying for it now? Or Are there strong business winds that might require a total change or shift regardless of code quality?

- are the products / hacks / software components strongly coupled? Are there strong dependencies between each team members output, causing you to be blocked on un hacking the hacks?

- how much technical communication is expected to be person to person, ad hoc? is there an expectation that when you need to use or work with someone’s component, you should promptly sync with them?

I say this as someone who 1) loves code quality
2) has worked in testing tools dev
3) has also worked on early stage teams.

And sometimes, when you’re early stage, the highest value you can deliver is understanding what you’re actually trying to build. Hence, lots of Prototypes, experiments, measured hacks, differing conventions, etc.

Now, all my prototyping days I’d say code quality was high (devs cared). But while tests and docs were super impressive, often they weren’t that impactful.

> They don't care, Gwynne Shotwell runs the company.

This isn't really true in as much as no one person can "run" a company. She acts as in her role as Chief Operations Officer and President of the company. She doesn't set long term vision and she doesn't generally handle projects that are in early incubation.

> But I do foresee a future in which the SEC bars Musk from holding any executive position for any number of things he has done.

We should try to keep our thoughts within the realm of realistic.
I don't see anything in that article that disagrees. Note that by "public good", I mean <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_good_(economics)>, not the "opposite of bad" good.
Except that the FBI can’t ask Apple for the private keys because they don’t have them; they never leave the device, which is the whole point [1].

Knowing they can’t get the private keys, the FBI wants to confront a suspect and grab the unlocked iPhone out of his/her hand.

If you think you’re going to have your iPhone taken by law enforcement, there’s a quick way to lock it [2].

When a user turns on iMessage on a device, the device generates encryption and signing pairs of keys for use with the service. For encryption, there is an encryption RSA 1280-bit key as well as an encryption EC 256-bit key on the NIST P-256 curve. For signatures, Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) 256-bit signing keys are used. The private keys are saved in the device’s keychain and only available after first unlock. The public keys are sent to Apple Identity Service (IDS), where they are associated with the user’s phone number or email address, along with the device’s APNs address.

I should check that out. Jetbrains just integrated remote management for code and notebooks into their IDEs and this seems like the perfect way to test. Thanks for the tip!

I would never frame this as Twitter being forced to do anything. I don’t think this is a 1A issue. But I think several things are surprising here.

First, how deeply rooted democratic operatives within Twitter took totally unprecedented action to censor a potentially highly damaging story.

Second, that Twitter publicly lied about their justification for doing so, which itself probably broke laws (at the very least a serious FTC enforcement action). Companies cannot lie that something was done because of a TOS violation. Consumers have a fair and reasonable expectation here that was violated when the company made up reasons for censoring the story - even in DMs!

Third, the chaotic response within Twitter and its internal paralysis in recognizing and “unfucking” the hijacking of their toolset for overly political and nefarious purpose.

Fourth, and this one really just irks me because it was gaslighting on a national scale, that so many channels and people picked up and ran with the “disinformation” and the particularly ridiculous “Russian disinformation” angle in an attempt to discredit the reporting.

Twitter censoring the Hunter story was basically an insider breech of corporate policy. Insider communications seem to indicate that people that could have stopped this were either stunned into submission or asleep at the wheel.
It looks like most of the political censorship in NZ was to suppress anti-war publications, which has been less of an issue since that particular law was passed. Other censorship laws blocked movies like All Quiet on the Western Front as well as communist publications.

The only political point of view I've noticed that was censored under that particular act (based on 5 minutes of perusing Wikipedia) was supporting euthanasia, which is illegal in NZ
Because the first amendment covers congress's limitations on lawmaking. Thereby indirectly limiting executive and judicial actions in the same way.

It doesn't cover someone (regardless of influence or position) asking a company to review content against their own terms of service and policies.
Moderation on the internet is difficult problem. From past experience from submitting classification requests, they are pretty lenient on what gets classified. But it’s not like it’s done behind closed doors.

What I don’t like about some moderation tool on Facebook is that we don’t know what is moderated, by who, for who, and why.

I saw someone else say there should be a registry of sorts for moderated content so it’s visible which I think is good. (The moderation not the content itself)

Like zppln said, it's actually pretty cheap. But it gives you the ability to fly with impunity everywhere and do surgical (or less surgical) strikes on anything. That's a pretty big stick, and even not using it buys you a lot of leeway in other areas.
Many thanks! Too bad this thread was not noticed and left unresponded. I'll have a look. Thanks again!
Thay seemed to mainly cover specific efforts & contracts. All Space Force related.

Personally I feel like this is over narrow. They seem likenthey are just trying to make am acquisition, spend money to have some shit to be in control of.

I feel like DARPA has a much broader & more long-term real effort underway, not about hardware to buy but about how hardware communicates, networks, what things do. Space Based Adaptive Communication Networks (Space BACN) seems to be the real effort afoot right now, IMO, to more broadly define how communication works in space. There's, as I understand, some fairly popular command & control buses for satellites. But this Space BACN seems like a much broader networking initiative, that this Starlink project seems like a proprietary competitor to.

If you promise one thing, take their money, and then do another thing and it ends up in your pocket somewhere (which seems to have happened), then that’s fraud or embezzlement, depending.
They were not laughably small in comparison to other protests in China, which as I'm sure you know are extremely rare ever since the Tienanmen Square massacre in 1989.

> no there was no revolution in progress.

Who said there was?
It's fascinating to me that so many (even a majority) of the direct comment replies to this post are a version of "this is nothing bad" or "nothing new to see here" or just arguing semantics about who was "running the govt" at the time (and so again, "nothing to see here").

This really comes across as party partisans, or party stooges, just flooding the conversation trying to massage the consensus. To people who are die-hard members of this political tribe, it's apparently impossible for them to see how vastly illiberal this situation was to regular people, and how uncomfortable it makes true political independents (never mind people on the opposite political tribe, where all it does is to further inflame their belief of being targeted unfairly all the time).
If you're really starting out from square 1, I might read this book first: https://www.amazon.com/Database-Design-Mere-Mortals-Annivers... (although I read an earlier edition). The Art of SQL is a great book, but I wish I'd read something a bit...easier...first, lol. I struggled with it.
Pre-Auth RCE with CodeQL in Under 20 Minutes
As the wikipedia article says (SpaceNews reference), the first SpaceX element for the program is finally launching this month (Dec 2022). But yes, it was first announced under the Trump administration in 2019 when the Science article came out.
"AI that has gorged on the internet and can recite answers and synthesize new ideas in response to my queries seems like something more valuable than a search engine. It seems like an answer engine. One of the most interesting questions in all of online advertising—and, therefore, in all of digital commerce—might be what happens when answer engines replace search engines."

A database. They are talking about a database.

Anyway, Google already works this way.

People are always complaining on HN about how it's deteriorated from days of old.

I too preferred to formulate queries with keywords and boolean logic in the same way as I did 20 years ago, but I've finally come around to the acceptance that asking questions like someone barely literate in English trying to form a sentence is the preferred method.

Educated people have to learn the language e.g. "what is artificial intelligence in computer".

This also leads to a deeper understanding of why people think AI is a miracle - their standards are not your standards.
Honest answer (IANAL): it doesn’t have legal obligation to support all kinds of free speech. But in my opinion that’s because the governments fail to recognize these huge, influential social platforms for what they really are - utilities. They become pervasive and essential in lives of most people in the developed countries. And as such there should exist some checks and balances to make sure these platforms are not used to skew the opinion of the general public one way or another. Powerful people on both sides of political spectrum should not have direct lines to moderation teams “suggesting” what should be removed or suppressed, nor the moderators should act on their own accord when the speech in question isn’t explicitly violating any laws or site policies.

I know this might sound pretty idealistic but for anyone who thinks otherwise please entertain the possibility that such control could one day turn against you, your political candidate or your personal beliefs and suddenly it will be you who finds themselves in the crosshairs of censorship when there’s a story you believe should be brought up. It’s an ugly timeline that I don’t want to live in.
If you have low expectations then yeah I guess.
Sounds like a hen/egg problem: It could well be that educational content just performs better in a market where education is valued both by society as well as kids, as compared to a market where most kids want to become an "influencer".

That western notice-me-culture has been obvious long before TikTok was a thing - consider reality TV, early YouTube, and the fact that several serial killers apparently murdered for the media attention.

Our own culture treats education as something that's not really that important. We promote sports stars with little to no educational background to ivy league universities. Hardly a teenage movie does not take a dump on 'math class'. Our kids are being told to dream and find their passions, but no-one considers them a failure if they get a D in the sciences. The student who excels is not praised societally, but shunned as a 'nerd'. Where 'hustle culture' exists, it is not seen as a way of achievement, but as a way to greater wealth, and almost always unpleasant.

Why then are we surprised that educational content does not perform well in the West?

As for the second link's part about TikTok promoting sexual confusion: Was it TikTok which started that discussion, or was it celebrities who made alternative sex/gender assignments cool (much like they made smoking cool in the 1950s), supported by pro-sex/gender-divergent activists? Imagine the backlash should TikTok decide to ban these topics from their platform.

Furthermore they are presuming that the eye’s optics and “pixels” are idealised: they have rather a myopic point-of-view.

Even in outer space, with no atmospheric aberration, there will be some blur for anyone with less than absolutely perfect eyesight.

There will be a point-spread-function because our optics are not ideal (especially with bright point sources), and blur will result from a variety of causes.
Absolutely agreed. I'm on a team that is presently working on some rewrites of major components in our app from an older frontend framework to React with TS. It takes a while to get to even parity, it's tedious, and tricky to get right, and 3 of us are independently working on separate major bits concurrently. We also have other stuff, code reviews, meetings, Jira, other bugs to fix, and the 2 week sprint just makes it feel like I'm constantly on edge, because it's not going to be anywhere useful in 1 sprint or likely 2, and it doesn't offer any breathing room. Having more two week blocks rather less longer blocks of time also introduces more of the overhead that accompanies agile crap, and reduces time to get the stuff done even further. If we know it'll probably take 4-6 weeks to do something to the standard we want it, we should probably at least be doing 3 week cycles, or dynamically change it depending on our goals, but that never happens.

2 week sprints optimize for fast, poorer quality work, and much less of it, because for a healthy practice one needs margin. Margin to accept other pointless meetings, margin to deliver hotfixes, margin to do work carefully without burning out.

Yes, I'm cynical.
> Sure if you were on PHP, a rewrite to a JS framework would be worth it, because you could deliver features to your customers faster, less bugs, etc.

A big fan of the American war machine huh?

The US is hated in many regions for playing world police. I suppose you support the war in Iraq because Iraq shouldn’t have invaded Kuwait?

We only care about Taiwan because of TSMC. We don’t even officially recognize Taiwan as a country.

It amazes me that people can’t look in the mirror and realize military strategy is a cold dark forest. America is the undisputed king of warfare. We’ve been involved in more conflicts than any other government that exists today. We’ve trashed South America and the Middle East in pursuit of our strategic goals. Europe has been destroyed twice in the past century. Don’t pretend it’s all black and white and western developed countries are bastions of righteousness.
I noticed this story wasn't on the front page of /r/politics. The word "twitter" isn't on the front page either.
In the video of the delivery event they announced new Megawatt chargers.
Japanese stocks actually trade with numeric tickers. 9432 is the ticker for NTT. Perhaps there is a bug in the lookup from the name in Japanese characters to the number giving two distinct rows based on whether the name is "Nippon Telephone & Telegraph" or "Nippon Telephone and Telegraph" once translated and then they're using the numeric ticker to look up the underlying data twice.

Not sure it's worth writing an entire article about - bugs in financial data are extremely common. When I worked in equities whenever tehre was a corporate action (split, reverse split, ticker change, merger, dividend etc) in some stock in which we had a position it was always of concern whether the market data providers would make a mistake somehow. Since we had a lot of positions you would tend to get at least one of these errors every few days. Typical mistake would be like, stocks in London typically are actually in GBp (pence) in the marketdata feeds but would often need to be translated to or from GBP (pounds) for some systems. You might see a split or reverse split and the marketdata provider briefly publishing the price off by a factor of 100 for this reason. Now imagine you hold some kind of option or autocallable derivative or whatever. According to the marketdata this should now exercise. However everyone knows this happens and takes care of it. Actually in some contracts we would occasionally see the terms state something like "The price will be the return value of EQ VOD LN HP<GO> on bloomberg at X time" meaning that if bloomberg publishes a mistake you have to run with it.
Seems reasonable. (The outcome in game, not the whining)
it was clear for the whole campaign the odds were pretty even
I've been using your prompt but changing the people, the subject, and the source of the quotes. I've noticed the quotes don't seem to be related. Like, it'll have similar subject matter, but might support the wrong person's point! Also if it doesn't have a good source of quotes for something it just kind of guesses something plausible from what it knows about it.
We went from censoring things that everyone thinks is bad (CP, death threats), to now censoring opinions which 50% of Americans share, and probably 90% of the world in just a few years.
It’s because you used a radioactive term “affect elections”. I’m not from USA but I noticed that nowadays even the slightest suggestion that X (whatever X might be) influenced the outcome of an election will get you downvoted/flagged into oblivion. That is, if you’re talking about the 2020 election, suggesting that anything was wrong with the 2016 ones is perfectly fine for some reason.
Agreed. I have zero concerns that the NZ government is censoring content that it shouldn't.

If that ever changes - we'd notice - and we'd make people aware of it.
In 2020, GPT-3 175B was already outperforming humans on SAT questions by ~20%. There are far more formal benchmarks for models now.

Then what? Facebook is banned and the country learns to use vpns and get around other content restrictions.
God, that's a nice way of putting it. A vast majority of books published nowadays could have been a series of at most 5-6 blog posts. It's gotten so bad that you have GREAT scientists that are actually partnering with journalists just to fluff up books and get them to the ridiculous number of pages they consider "proper".

Let it be stated publicly and loudly, so maybe some would hear: I'd gladly pay the same price for a 50 page book, and I'd actually be a lot more likely to buy it.
> our retinas won't last long

I think you are mistaking cause end effect. If the sun were a point source, the layout of our eyes (and our behaviours) would have evolved differently to compensate.

Alternatively, if the diameter of the sun (or the apparent diameter of the sun) quickly changed that much, our eyesight is the least of our worries.
> Complaining that Twitter didn't amplify an unproven story isn't bias.

What do you mean by “didn’t amplify”? They actively suppressed/banned the story (based on a policy that didn’t even apply in this case) instead of “not amplifying it”, these are two totally separate things.
