Musk: "I think we won't get to the refactor if we don't make these changes"

"why?"

Musk: "because we're going to be bankrupt"

"what's the runway?"

Musk: *silence*

"Elon you're you're our philosopher um you know Plato would be very proud of you. You're extremely technically competent and I think really understand how to how to drive things in a in a good direction. You know I I really love how you're also leaning into the voice of the people and letting you know them have a say as well *but*..."

That last bit there is exactly the kind of kindergarten that had to be erected around Musk at SpaceX, described here in [1] as "Managing Elon was part of the company culture", which gives credence to that piece.

I also can’t think of Effective Altruism without thinking of the inverse radical Objectivism. I don’t agree with Ayn Rand’s amateur philosophizing [1] but it’s a great example of using the Rational vs Altruistic dichotomy for extreme ideological ends.

Both just happen to be able to justify the acquisition of infinite capital without typical counter-weights that society puts forward… and inversely to justify authoritarian state control of everything for either purely rational or purely altruistic pursuits as was in vogue in the 1910-1940s.

AI will write the requirements. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if AI comes for high cost centers like programming and high information decision-making (the C-Suite) at roughly the same time.

We could spend years in a lopsided state where groups of investors fund an AI that operates on an investment thesis, delivers commands to humans who manage physical labor in areas that have been tough to automate (like the remaining Amazon warehouse jobs), and handles on its own all of the work that would normally be done by office employees.

(I'm the latter.) But either way, that's how all of us start.

Which ones did you try?

The only static analyzers that I am allowed to say have stood out to me are:

* Clang's static analyzer

* GCC's static analyzer with -Wno-analyzer-malloc-leak -Wno-analyzer-use-of-uninitialized-value -Wno-analyzer-null-dereference because those three checks are uniquely buggy. `-Wanalyzer-null-dereference` fails to understand assertions. `-Wanalyzer-use-of-uninitialized-value` fails to recognize initialization from pass by pointer. `-Wanalyzer-malloc-leak` is so buggy that out of the 32 reports it made, only 1 was real, but it was right before an `exit()` call in a test suite, so it was not a particularly interesting report. Unfortunately, I do not have notes describing why that check is buggy.

Note that I am restricted by Coverity's Scan User Agreement from saying anything involving Coverity that could constitute a comparison. I suggest that you look at the public information about its use by myself and draw your own conclusions. Keep in mind, your conclusions are not things that I said.

"Here, we show chronic exposure of AR at a dose found in commonly consumed dietary products exacerbates experimental models of colitis in mice. While intermittent exposure is more akin to a typical human exposure, intermittent exposure to AR in mice for 12 weeks, does not influence susceptibility to colitis."

The article plainly states that the exposure that's common to humans produced no results in mice.

Orochi sidesteps this problem... by only supporting NVRTC-style runtime compilation with C++ as input.

And even then, the HIP C++ compiler library is bundled as part of Orochi instead of being part of the app. This means that your app using Orochi will not run on a future GPU gen unless it's updated against a newer Orochi runtime.

Okay but assuming there's no exposed metal parts, is one of these radios with a polarized cord really more dangerous than a regular old two pronged lamp with a polarized cord?

If you plug that lamp into an outlet with positive and neutral wired wrong you will have mains voltage on the light bulb threads and socket threads instead of ground, and that's gonna be pretty unsafe for anyone changing the bulb.

But lamps are so common, we don't even think about them as safety hazards.
I imagine that AI used to generate text (e.g ChatGPT) might exacerbate this problem. As the article points out — Some researchers might care more about ‘remixing’ published papers in order to drown the competition, get jobs & other forms of leverage. Generative text makes it much easier

When going from film to digital, you have to modify the source noise in some way and there's no way to avoid it. A 1 to 1 transfer is possible, but I haven't come across any. Instead I have seen so many times where films either denoised too much or added too much artificial grain during the transfer. Starting from a very good source definitely helped, but film is limited in certain ways that digital isn't. Additionally, color grading for HDR10 and Dolby Vision was done. I didn't think that HDR would make a huge difference in a mostly black and white film but it does. The second picture comparison is what encouraged me to rewatch the movie again. [1]

> Should the term be capitalized, as Effective Altruism?

I've seen it written both ways, though it looks like lowercase is more common. Ex: Wikipedia uses lowercase https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_altruism
Your first paragraph seems to be “others are already doing it”. That’s a problem, not a justification for doing more of it. It’s a shame to see embedded analog grain stripped out because it was inconvenient for a dev team. It strikes me as a good example of the bad reputation developers hold for constantly prioritizing their own convenience over the end user’s experience.

To address your second- I think that’s an example of the “slippery slope” fallacy. I’m stating only that film noise and grain is a big part of the atmosphere of many movies and shouldn’t be removed; I’m not suggesting that a viewing experience needs to be done in a world-class theater under perfect conditions to capture artistic intent. Anyone with a basic HD television can see analog noise and grain.
> The thing is... this won't happen. If I'm dealing with an attacker so sophisticated to pull this off, it's likely they have 1000 other vectors that are more effective and dangerous.

Don’t delude yourself. These phishing pages with mirrored login portals happen to podunk organizations all of the time.

If someone manages to get a link to your page and is interesting in the contents, duping it and sending a phishing link to the suspected password holder is a trivial spear phishing attack (with an annoyingly high success rate).
Rewarding bad behavior, regardless of its origin, does nothing but encourage more. My best friend growing up was Asian and worked his ass off every single day. I had a lot more fun than he did but he got into a better school and makes better money now because he fucking deserved to.

> ...I'd absolutely find the time for it. As a developer if I use a library that...

Like I said, my day job isn't being a dev which means time for that is rare.

Languages are not user software, they should never be deprecated. I get deprecating standard libraries bur under no context is it ok to deprecate a whole language. Yoh can freeze development and only perform security updates to the interpreter but there is no need to deprecate a language. It is a betrayal of the trusr users put into python when they invested time on it and this is exactly what I mean by avoiding rapidly changing languages. They don't care one bit that people are using their language, they treat like any other software that gets supported and discarded. C89 is still supported! People write new stuff with it. You know why? Because there is nothing to support, just parsing and compiling of a langauge. No new features need to be developed and bugs should be accepted instead of fixed. The interpreter should be available for download and use on any platform for as long as even one guy is using the language.

> you're probably on a very old distro.

Maybe, I usually go for debian but I have run into this issue and it becomes a dependency nightmare on anything that needs the old python version (in the package manager dependency resolver not in python).

> If new versions came out every 3-4 years, that would mean they would have more drastic changes

That's fine, because there would be less versions. All changes are drastic changes from the perspective of someone that is having to google random python errors to figure out what broke and how to fix it. At least it won't be a constant nightmare fixing problems made by the langauge itself in addition to the 3rd party code and your own code. The frequency of how many bugs you have causes by those 3 cause categories should in that increasing frequency. I should not have lnaguage version bugs more often than bugs in my own code.

> But in the end, it doesn't really matter how often a new version comes out but rather how long the old versions should be supported, right? And I think it's up to the library authors to decide how long to support older versions

It does matter because most devs that code for a living like to tinker with new flashy versions so each version of a library they release is that much more prone to requiring newer python versions. The less frequent python releases, the more they will use the current python features before introducing version breaks.

I really think it is a developer culture problem at the end of the day where because you are writing foss code, you don't care about the experience of those who depend on your code.

It’s because Java supports nonlocal returns and pattern matching, but only when you use exceptions. Returning POJOs to report problems makes all the intervening code harder to read because the happy path is no longer separated.
I think, if possible, the faster way is to skip lexing and parsing all together for the AI input+output, it's a waste of resource. Probably start fresh with a new kind of assembly and AST, so the AI could have a better learning data and approach.
But users choosing a weak password on a standard rate limited service login is significantly different to choosing a poor password in something that the attacker has unlimited, low latency and undetectable attempts against.

That is the deal. It's a cooperating plea deal; prosecutors will accept a much smaller sentence (out of the very wide ranges available) if they follow through on the coperating part.

This analogy seems off. In your analogy, it is suggested that playback devices be made somehow worse, while the request is for the recording to not have the effect applied.

I’d say it is more like asking musicians to stop adding feedback — another phenomenon that began as an error but became an artistic tool — to their songs. Or requesting that sound engineers stop the engaging in the loudness wars.

This 22 second youtube video is the supporting evidence linked
by the article for that "equal outcomes for every student" line: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujpcvIsMZBU

So, your guess is as good as mine, because that video certainly is not some kind of school policy position, as the article implies. I'm pretty suspect of the rest of it, since as someone else pointed out, the school actually did notify the students! They just didn't hold a big ceremony. The actual issue that the parents had is that the physical awards - which were delivered to students, in paper, at school, on their desks, did not arrive before early admission deadlines. The students were informed prior to the deadline by emails to their official school district accounts, which the article says they don't often check.

This just overall feels like a culture war hack piece, it's full of red flags from top to bottom, and I mean, it's from a Federalist byline...

"Ride as much or as little, or as long or as short as you feel. But ride." - Eddy Merckx

I was a very casual and just enjoyed riding until I started getting into touring. You're right not to care, at all. Unless you are a professional or are riding competitively at high levels, you will always do better by losing a little bit of belly, focusing on technique, and having more miles on the road. Weight will not be the difference maker.

I would come back from a tour on my steel Surly and just whip by people with 7k+ bikes in Central Park on a regular basis. It was the miles and nothing else.

Rolling resistance and comfort matter. I never went less than 23mm and I wouldn't even do that today, I'd go far wider 28mm or 35mm. Being comfortable keeps you on your bike longer and the longer you're on your bike, the more fit you'll be and happy - since you're riding a bike for longer.

Your instincts are good, have fun.

Autopilot is typically driven only in the newest cars by the richest people in ideal conditions. Heck, Autopilot disengages when it gets confused, which is often. And even with all of that, the fatality rate (at least the ones we know if) is only a third of the U.S. total population on a per-mile basis. Autopilot is likely more dangerous than the same set of drivers on the same routes in the same Teslas with Autopilot disabled.

If this works on a feedstock of mixed, dirty plastics, I can imagine it actually being economical.

Imagine throwing a bunch of waste plastic in a reactor. Some is PET. Some is HDPE. Some is polycarbonate. Some is polystyrene. Some is other random polymers. Some is “compostable” material, and some is probably a horrible mix of plant fiber and fluoropolymers. Some is bamboo that got mixed in by accident, and there’s also some bits of food and crayons and other debris in there. Add a mix of enzymes and apply the right temperature, humidity, etc.

Out comes a mix of valuable monomers, various contaminants, and the enzymes that survived the process. And a whole lot of unreacted feedstock that simply wasn’t the right feedstock.

If you can separate the valuables out of the output mix, then maybe this whole enterprise pays for itself.

Otherwise actually obtaining a clean stream of PET to recycle seems potentially challenging.
