It’s amazing how much more central search is in modern OS’s. This feels more like the original’84 Mac, but gussied up. I like OS6 better. It was 10 years ahead of anything else, except perhaps Amiga, in the hands of a developer. This Mac OS9 actually looks like it came from a low point in Mac’s penetration and power.
Genuine questions: (1) what about obtaining an ID would somehow imply the need to commit apostasy and, as an extension (2) what about that would be unique versus, say, obtaining car insurance or a bank account?

Even assuming an eschatological evangelical worldview, it isn't immediately clear to me what distinguishes IDs from any other engagement in society.

Primer.ai does this for some govt agencies. Not sure on the quality of their products.
Well it would appear that leet code is easily replaceable. Not even sure why people would get paid to rewrite algorithms that can easily be imported from existing libraries. But actual development will take a while to be replaced. A developer does much more than write code. And good developers already know they should use off the self solutions for repetitive tasks. So at most this type of tooling will help, but it wont be anywhere near what their evangelists and the media claims it to be.
Putting an executive in jail because they wrongly and deliberately caused a customer to be jailed seems pretty reasonable.

The article says "The injunction was issued based on a petition for Section 10(j) injunctive relief filed by Kathy Drew King, former Regional Director of Region 29 of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB)."

I had missed this. I guess the NLRB asked for this injunction.

I'm still not clear on what if anything changes here though.

Again, to me this "injunction" is like a parent saying "don't do that again...or else!"

What happens if they don't?
Probably a lot depending on your workload. Here's a 2015 article about getting to 2 million concurrent connections[1] with Phoenix channels. They used a bigger rack space box, but it was 7 years ago and Phoenix and Elixir have both improved a lot here. Here's another example of someone hitting a laptop with 840,000 connections[2] on an intel mac with the following specs:

> 2.5 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7
16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

Obviously memory starts to be a constraint for doing anything meaningful, but you can squeeze a lot out of 32gb of ram.

> Isn't it kind of daft that we humans must go through years of training to learn esoteric languages and ways of bending our brains backwards in order to tell a computer how to perform arguably simple tasks?

I always took it in another way: learning to program a computer is an enlightening, visceral experience highlighting just how bad natural language and normal modes of thinking suck. They're heavily optimized for reality in which the most important thing was managing social dynamics in small groups, and beliefs were good or bad depending on how close they are to what everyone else beliefs. Whether or not they were true at object level did not matter at all.

We live in different times now. There's a demand for clear, logical, precise thinking. The very thinking we're not well-equipped for by default. The very thinking you call "bending our brains backwards". Because object-level truth matters much more now, there are consequences for getting things wrong - such as countless of ways of getting scammed by people who are better at this than you are.

Not to mention, this "bending our brains backwards" is what gives humanity superpowers. It's what gave us all the technology we enjoy today - energy, transportation, amenities, communication, entertainment. Building and maintaining these things requires precise thinking and precise communications. So, until a super-human AI takes all that over for us (and effectively turns out into NPCs in our own story), glorifying the natural, human mode of communication is just self-handicapping.
Yea, this is kinda why i don't understand a lot of these off the shelf CRDT solutions. Like CRDTs for JSON.

I'm still trying to learn CRDTs; but early on in my learning process i had the thought that CRDTs don't have mere data types - as you say, they have Data Type + Conflict Resolution bundled into one. It's not enough to make a String type, because different types need to be resolved differently. Plus some types of resolution have a lot more metadata, so you want to choose the best fitting one.

I found that my goal to make SQL + CRDT meant i had to expose this combo of Type + Resolution to the end user. It seems essential to how the app works.

But maybe i don't know anything, /shrug. I'm still learning them.

There's likely a paper trail of various people talking about this policy and what to do about it. Based on that, directly fine or imprison the people responsible for decisions about the policy that lead to people being falsely imprisoned. It's really not that hard.

Just an example: In Seattle, the #2 rated station last month was KIRO-AM 710. Sports play-by-play and local sports talk performs really well on AM [1].

In the same ratings book, the religious and right-wing talk radio on AM continued with a poor performance. I think that generally content is more important than the technology delivering the audio (although probably anything would perform better to at least some extent on FM).

He wrote a program that would answer the phone on one line with a modem, let the caller pick a target BBS, then it would dial out on another modem to connect to the BBS. Unlike the other solution it tied up two phone lines on the relay for the whole length of the call but it never redirected people who weren't expecting to be redirected.

Translating one (computer) language to another with ChatGPT
My prompt:
I want you to act as a translator of python code to rust code. I will type python code and you will respond with the equivalent code in the programming language rust. Write the rust code inside of one unique code block. Do not explain the rust code. Only output 1 single code block. My first expression is print("hello world!")

Yields a session that lets me submit arbitrary python code and it rewrites the code as idiomatic rust. It is able to do stuff like recognize image:: is equivalent to PIL, yaml is found in serde, and constructs generally valid syntax that seems to work as behave as expected. An example:

import PIL.Image
import PIL.ExifTags

img = PIL.Image.open("Img.jpg")
exif_data =
{
PIL.ExifTags.TAGS[i]: j
for i, j in img._getexif().items()
if i in PIL.ExifTags.TAGS
}
print(exif_data)

# Method 2
# pip install ExifRead
import exifread

filename = open(path_name, 'rb')

tags = exifread.process_file(filename)
print(tags)

->

use image::{ImageError, open};
use std::collections::BTreeMap;

fn main() -> Result<(), ImageError> {
let img = open("Img.jpg")?;
let mut exif_data = BTreeMap::new();
for (k, v) in img.metadata().unwrap().as_ref().iter() {
exif_data.insert(k, v);
}
println!("{:?}", exif_data);

// Method 2
let file = std::fs::File::open("Img.jpg")?;
let mut reader = exif::Reader::new(&file)?;
let tags = reader.read_tags()?;
println!("{:?}", tags);

Ok(())

}

----

This is pretty remarkable and frankly could make porting code bases to different languages pretty straight forward. Even if I have to go in and fix compiler errors here and there just taking the cognitive load of saying "I want to take this EXIF parsing code and move to rust, how do?" and shifting it to fixing errors feels worth it overall. More than that, though, as a new rust learner, this is remarkably helpful.
We have many studies showing that hypovitaminosis D is correlated with the risk of severe COVID-19 symptoms. What's not clear is whether there is a direct causative relationship, or if higher blood vitamin D levels are just a proxy for other generally healthy lifestyle factors.

Some studies have shown a protective effect from vitamin D supplementation and others have not. The general flaw in most of those studies has been that they gave all of the study patients the same dosage instead of titrating the dosage to hit a target blood level. There are huge variations between individuals based on sunlight exposure, diet, genetics, and other pathologies so the data is really noisy.

Before making any claims in this area I recommend reading through at least the abstracts of all studies indexed on this page. It's a complex area and we have no definitive conclusions yet.

Cool post -- wondering, does the final example of defining the y combinator and using it really show much? `(factorial 5)` probably would run without defining the y combinator first -- would be interested to see how it handled some novel function that isn't probably directly memorized.
Hetzner Cloud is great, but I do wish they'd offer dedicated servers in the US as well, even if it was just a fraction of their European offering.

Hetzner Cloud pricing is great, but their dedicated servers are even cheaper. For example, they offer a 16-core (32-vCPU) Ryzen 9 5950X for €103 with 128GB RAM and 2 x 3.84 TB NVMe SSDs. They offer a cloud server with 32 vCPU, 128GB RAM, and 600GB of storage for €296 - nearly triple the price and those CPU cores are probably not as good since they're likely Zen2 cores rather than the Zen3 cores of the Ryzen 9 5950X.

https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+EPYC+7502P

https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+Ryzen+9+5950X

I know, benchmarks aren't everything, but the Ryzen is getting 1,432 per vCPU while the EPYC is getting 766.

The AX51 costs €59 for 8 Zen2 cores (16 vCPU) and 64GB RAM while the CCX41 costs €154 for 16 vCPU and 64GB RAM.

I know, the cloud servers come with flexibility, hourly billing, and no set-up fees. I also know that their cloud pricing is very good. Still, I wish I could get a few AX101s in the US. 3 AX101 servers would be €310/mo, each with 16 Zen3 cores, 128GB RAM, and 2x 3.8TB of storage.

I bought the RX 6800XT when it had been just released and never received it. I submitted a police report, reported it to PayPal, etc, but I never got my money back.

After such a loss, I think it's normal to go to such measures. Having my partner use my videography kit to film the entire handover takes only a few minutes but if it can save me so much money, it'd be stupid not to.

And yes, I believe that if we as a society have reached a point where even with evidence and a police report no one in the chain feels responsible to act, we're fucked.
I'm using the old K9 (before the pre-Mozilla redesign saga) with three POP3 accounts on the mail servers of the registars of my domains. I check my mail on my phone, read it, delete the unnecessary messages, eventually download on my computer (Thunderbird) and backup.

The old UI is very good at this worflow and that's why I ended up using K9. The new UI with the unified inbox is bad at it. This K9/Thunderbird? I should download it to understand how it works. Probably like the new UI but who knows.

Automation tremendously increases the danger involved. It is substantially more difficult to audit whether the government is operating within those legal guardrails when software is involved rather than humans. Also, the government's capabilities in abusing this data are greatly increased, which in turn increases their incentive to do so. For instance, we have no way of knowing whether or not that camera is being used to calibrate a system that tracks people's movements using lower-resolution sources like Ring and traffic cameras. This, in turn, represents an obvious and severe danger to other fundamental rights, like free association: a system designed to track terror cells can just as easily be used to identify protest organizers.

We also don't really know where the resulting data is stored, or who will have access to it, or which people will abuse this information in the future, whether they are corrupt officials or third-parties who steal the stockpiled data, or what creative applications they will find for that data, or what harm the general public will ultimately suffer. These were good what-if questions on Slashdot in the 90s, but after decades of tech growth and abuse in the public and private sectors, these are now important ethical concerns that must be addressed in order to safely allow government security services to automate more and more of their jobs.
Maybe so, but auto accidents still result in lots of head injuries even with the existing safety systems.
They're seriously understaffed. Forget about the partisan politics for the reasons behind it but a terrible side effect of this lack of resources is that they only go after the low hanging fruits to audit. Like Joey Banana who forgot to report a few hundred dollars of income will get audited but complicated tax evasion schemes go unaudited.

Lots of reddit is already pretty useless, drowning in people who are desperate to sound clever by regurgitating one of the same 50 meme jokes with some minor twist to it. And the astroturfing on the political reddits are likely to start hitting the niche ones with products getting pushed by manufacturers. Just buy accounts that have been built by bots on front-page subreddits, then have them make AI-driven positive comments on the niche subreddits and now you've got organic-looking advertisement for your product. Moderators likely won't help since they are there mostly to keep the trolls out (or they're more focused on whatever political axe they're grinding).
