Technically, under Constitution Article VI most (all?) Sheriffs would be bound by oath and Constitutional Law (Articles III, IV, VI) to defy or disregard laws they regard as unconstitutional. This is because unconstitutional laws are treasonous (an opinion reinforced in the Supreme Court in 1803 by Chief Justice John Marshall).

Per Marbury v. Madison (5 U.S. 137): "It is emphatically the province and duty of the Judicial Department to say what The Law is." and "A Law repugnant to the Constitution is void." (Opinion of the court via Chief Justice John Marshall).

As legally authorized officers of the Judiciary, Sheriffs and their deputies are obliged to interpret and act upon the law.

Not terrifying at all: this has been the status quo since 1803.

If you find this terrifying, do not become a Judicial Officer. These people handle treason on a daily basis.

This is such an incredible interview, but I have linked through to one specific part, the Formlabs CEO asked Shaine why he left the company. It is both an incredible brave question to share publicly but also really insightful into both Shane's way of working and the introspective nature of a companies CEO.

Is this really that fundamentally different from a human artist? Indeed, the person generating the art has what they want in their head, just as any other artist does, they're building prompts seeking to realise that vision on the screen (with tooling, just like a traditional artist would). Yes this is a new tool that requires far less technical proficiency with traditional techniques - people have constantly criticised new tooling (e.g. the criticisms sometimes still levelled at digital artists)

Further, even if you totally discount the human agency in this process & view it as a machine doing everything: we don't expect human artists to add a credit on each of their works to all the artworks they have viewed in their life and the experiences that came together to form an artwork or even their particular style.

I'd argue the networks are clearly transformative (since the network weights aren't large enough to contain the actual input artworks). It may not be as transformative as a human learning process (although then again, what is the learning 'storage' capacity of a human compared to a 4GB weights file?)

That’s a bit disingenuous. It’s easy to see who is Muslim and who is not: you just need to ask them. I don’t see a reason to say they aren’t when they identify themselves that way and believe in that religion. I am not saying that only moderates are true Muslims, just that there are more believers than the fundamentalists.

I’d be surprised if Italians were the majority of tagliatelle-eating people these days.

Wahhabism is a view of the religion. It is the mirror image of Christian supremacism, just with a different book and different sound bites but with the same goal of subjugation. I would not say that all Christians are murderers, either.

Fyi, Vimeo was a money-losing business when IAC bought it 2006 and is still unprofitable after IAC spun it out as a public company in May 2021.

So it's not convincing that Youtube could have stayed independent and become profitable by charging for videos. Before the Google acquisition, Youtube was also threatened by the billion dollar Viacom lawsuit. The young Youtube startup didn't have the money to fight expensive legal battles like that and could realistically lose in court like Napster lost against the RIAA lawsuit.

Youtube getting acquired by Google got the video startup out of several fires: (1) switch to Google's datacenter infrastructure which reduces operating costs (2) tap into Google's extensive ad network to monetize (3) use Google's army of lawyers to settle with Viacom by convincing them that the ContentID fingerprinting algorithm will filter out piracy.

"a helicopter seems an expensive way to get a stolen car back."

I am not sure, but I think that the chopper time may be diverted from other usage, not added on.

Eg. Chopper flies 400 hours per year total. Instead of 400 used going around in circles doing nothing, 350 hours are spent going around in circles doing nothing and 50 hours are spent assisting in stolen car related operations.

If too much is setup from the start it can be not so great to do startup like things like building fast.

If the essentials of those aren’t in a dockerfile somewhere in 2023, do developers spend enough time focusing on clients?

Related, I have been experimenting with using Stable Diffusion (SD) to generate game textures for a project I've been working on.

The results its been giving me for cobblestone and grass have been generally "good enough", though I've not found a good way to force SD to generate textures that easily tesselate with each other, forcing me to modify the generated stuff a bit before I actually use them.

Still, that's only like another 10-30 minutes of additional work on my end for a texture, and it means I get a unique texture without having to be terribly artistically inclined. I think AI art is really going to make lives easier for indie game devs.

A book store near us has an amazing January sale, so:

You are not! PICO-8 was where I started, and it was a great experience - both for its community at the time and due to the constraints it imposed, making me focus on finishing games and boiling them down to the essentials.

I heartily recommend PICO-8 for anybody trying to get into hobby/solo gamedev from the programming direction.
This is indeed what I meant. I wasn’t clear. Entertainment products in general have a strong Power Law Curve to their relative revenues. Games are expensive to produce and have a high variance on their returns.

So, the rewards for a profitable game for most game employees is that the studio doesn’t shut down! Though I have heard of rare cases where people on a team hit a truly large royalty check from a game they worked on. Usually, the profit from a successful game goes into the war chest to cover the next failure.
> Yes, they are. But if you look at pandas `f['a'] <= 3` a boolean mask is created on eagerly, on the fly. Pandas has zero chance to do anything clever here.

Isn't this just an implementation detail? It seems like it wouldn't be tough to turn this into syntactic sugar rather than a forced eager evaluation. IE, `f['a'] <= 3` could just as easily evaluate into a computation graph rather than the evaluation of that graph. For example, I could imagine something like so:

```

from polars.dataframe import LazyDataFrame, DataFrame

def fn():

...

ldf = LazyDataFrame(df)
# this mutates the computation graph but doesn't evaluate
ldf.loc[f['a'] <= 3, "b"] = f['b']
df = DataFrame(ldf)
return df

```

This is a toy example so I'm not sure if the part around evaluation makes complete sense, but it seems like how pandas eagerly evaluates the frame is a shortcoming of its implementation and model, rather than the syntactic sugar itself.

To be even more specific, this is the way SQLAlchemy does it. You could have something like this:

```

from models import Contact

def fn():

...

# doesn't evaluate; could trivially be done as Contact[Contact.name == 'John']
filtered_contact_exp = Contact.filter(Contact.name == 'John')
# actually evaluates
filtered_contacts = filtered_contact_exp.all()
return filtered_contacts

```

And SQLAlchemy knows not to actually trigger the evaluation until you do something like `.all()`. Why not adopt this kind of pattern with Polars?

Guess I'll spend the next few days figuring out the diff.

My point is, you've provided just opinion. If you could have told me a thing or two about the actual circuits I might think you know what you're talking about. But rather than helping, you're just filling space with words in an attempt to sound knowledgeable.
This isn't really true and the guy saying "If someone showed me a way to do it with Goldman Sachs as a counterparty, I’m in" is also misstating things, perhaps intentionally.

I'll take the long side of the Tether bet for 30% a year (I'll buy one-year Tether forwards at 70c).

I'm not as creditworthy as Goldman, but for small amounts, it's pretty close. I could collateralize the trade with my house, and in any case I don't have the kind of correlated portfolio that means if Tether goes bust, I can't pay you. But enough about me - some trader at Goldman will absolutely do the same deal! Maybe they can even do it for 72c.

There is a market-clearing price for this trade if done between two creditworthy parties. I don't know what that price is because there isn't a big public market for it, but if you shop the trade around, you'll find a price.

The people bemoaning they can't short Tether mean they can't short it at what looks like it should be the right price, say, paying 5% a year to borrow it. But that's not the right price! That's the price that already includes you taking a lot of wrong-way counterparty risk. Against Goldman, the price is 20% or 30% or something, and you can do the trade, but you don't want to.

So the fair price of one-year Tether forwards is 75c or whatever, but the spot price is clearly $1.00. How do you reconcile this in financial markets terms, that the prices don't converge? Same reason other commodity futures might have backwardation - holding Tether provides some value to its owners. Like having steel today allows you to build a skyscraper and start collecting rent, so spot steel trades higher than future steel if the construction business is good. In Tether's case, that value is the freedom to participate in other crypto trades, or perhaps to escape even riskier assets in China, or something else.
Back when I still had an order in for the Foenix I worked on an emulator (in C++) for a bit. It's likely changed a lot since then -- so take this with a grain of salt -- but it was a lot less "VIC"-like than this and more like a souped-up SVGA. Its framebuffer was structured like an 8-bit indexed palette linear memory. And then she also offered tiling & sprites and she was also working on a blitter at the time.

It was quite nicely and thoughtfully structured though my biggest beef was that writing code for the '816 for managing that framebuffer was a bit of a hassle as you have to fiddle with the bank register to work with pointers into regions bigger than 64k. So let's say you're writing a routine to flood fill or draw lines or rectangles etc, you would, I think, need to be managing the bank register for all framebuffer addressing, which is going to add cycles and complexity.

If I were designing a system around the '816 (or any other processor without a large linear address space) with a large framebuffer like that I'd consider having some planar graphics modes where each plane doesn't exceed 64k in size. Then at least you could do single-colour operations quickly/easily.

And it sounds like the MEGA65's VIC derivative is more 8/16-bit friendly around these kinds of issues.

Alternatively you rely on curators to surface that quality work. We have plenty of books in the world, and curation and personal recommendations (as well as an author's reputation over multiple books) seem to work quite well there.

Also since you can realise your artistic vision for a lower budget, you don't need to make back a gigantic outlay so you're not needing to take a huge risk that needs to have a massive reach on the launch week

No interest in storing a season's worth of energy which would be infeasible without a ludicrously over provisioned system. More -what could you do with spare capacity that is not trash-tier net metering? Generating liters of fuel weekly would be enough to power my ICE car (I rarely drive). Or being able to generate and store a ~week of liquid backup energy.

Such a system would be unlikely to ever payback for itself. Not deluding myself on that one.
