This author really does not know two shits what they're talking about. Surprising this whole post isn't flagged. If your AI software is vomiting derivative works stripped of their original license, provided the license even allows derivative works, then yes, you need to lawyer up.

I had in mind that Waterfall separates architecture design from detailed design from implementation, and in the above case, the spec being precise and finished certainly means that the top level design (or architecture or whatever) is 100% finished before the TDD development begins.

Hardly a reason to downvote me.
There's been heavy use of these kinds of services for exactly this purpose. See [1] for example. Typically airbases, mass graves, bridges; things we know won't move or change too fast.

This is already doable with most wallets today. Most wallets enable you to create 2^64 addresses from the same seed phrase. These are hardened and can't be linked together by just creating them.

So if Alice wants to send Bob an NFT, Bob creates a new address (recoverable with the same seed phrase) and Alice sends it there. Bob can then fund the wallet with tornado cash to use the NFT.

It's a stupidly complex way to achieve privacy and Tornado Cash is illegal. That's why we need private by default chains like Aztec & Aleo

That's mostly what folks are referring to. We can't really take Microsoft at their word about systems like copilot if they're unwilling to trust it with their crown jewel.

I think inverting agile concepts is more accurate.
GPU support doesn’t bother me as much as CPU support. For GPUs, if it isn’t modern enough it’s effectively useless for most people beyond VGA/SVGA output. Modern user space requires modern GPUs.
> No default (other than calling isatty) is reasonable, because you don't know (and you don't want to know) what your output is being piped through.

Exactly because you don't know it makes sense to optimize for the common case.

> What happens if "prog" outputs an escape sequence (e.g. set color) on one line, and outputs another one (reset color) a few lines down?

Don't do that then. Or do use isatty() is your escape sequences are complex like that.

> It can, but should it?

Yes, because it's useful.
> All mining is bad for the environment to some degree or another. Lithium mining allows us to stop doing other harmful forms of mining, and it is infinitely recyclable; it isn't being blasted away into the atmosphere like gasoline. Eventually, we should have enough in the recycling pipeline that mining it becomes relatively uncommon.

I agree, but the choice isn't mine lithium or burn gasoline. There are other choices. Nuclear, renewables, and a grid that can adjust demand instead of needing to adjust supply. Transit. We don't need electric cars if we have trains, and trains have pantographs or third rails so don't require batteries.

If we're willing to adjust our way of life, then we can have a much smaller impact.

Lithium from seawater is definitely interesting. But yes to your point other metals are equally or more problematic, for instance rare earths, copper, nickel, etc.
This is an excellent interview.

For anyone looking for more MIT's Zach Hartwig lecture on why fusion is moving now and why CFS is taking the approach it is this lecture is excellent.

Yep, it's good with the bad. Another "good" as I get older is that seniority means something, it's harder to discriminate against the older guys and replace them with a 20 year old for half the price.
What I don't like about Docker is it does not respect the firewall rules that I setup using something like ufw.
It's been floating around for few days. No major media has picked up the story. This seems very fake, yeah.

FWIW: the original Klippenstein story was sourced only from 2-3 sentences in the police report too (a report that was explicit about its inability to verify the claim, no less). The fact that an eyeball-driving story like this has gone this long with so much as an on the record quote from the driver...

My original intuition looking at this was "Autopilot doesn't have this behavior", and the longer this goes the more convinced I am that the driver just fibbed to the cops. This absolutely looks like a classic distracted driving accident, and if it were any other vehicle, even ones with assistive technology, no one would think otherwise.

I think this is only true if you also extend the retirement age, which seems unlikely.
In my experience showing up is 10% of the battle.
Wow! Did you know you can run Linux on modern hardware? It's faster that way, and doesn't change the amount of telemetry reported.
Sure. It's a different facet of the same problem. There's a damn good reason that professional software development organizations hire designers and technical writers, and while many developers like to think so, it's not merely to save them time. Developers often suck at making docs for other developers; reasoning about communicating to people one step removed from that gets even dicier. As a developer before I learned good design principles, I often fell into the trap of assuming my being able to assemble something in code gave me sufficient understanding of why it was designed that way. Ah, the hubris of inexperience.
Giving you time for the CPU not to melt and shutdown the computer? Is thermal management clever/fast enough to do this on modern CPUs without any heat sink at all? Also I wonder about the failure rate of such a device. Very interesting though.
Some of the insns later defined in the Arm hint space are definitely not NOPs, though -- the pointer-authentication ones will write results to registers, for instance. The requirement is "if code that knows about the newly architected instruction uses it correctly but runs on a CPU where it's a NOP the behaviour is acceptable", not "code written before the insn in hint space is allocated can use this assuming it is always going to be a pure NOP and will never alter registers, undef, etc". The contract between the code and the ISA is subtly different.

I agree that in this specific case the software side was in the wrong (though if the official disassembly had been "hint insn 1" rather than "or r1,r1,r1" I suspect the bug wouldn't have got into the code in the first place).
> I think most CLI apps are abusing color for little gain. Reading the output of some programs feels like wading through a room filled with fruit salad - the JS ecosystem is particularly bad in this regard. I'm using red in my prompt to indicate a root shell and/or an SSH session, and I think that's as far as it should go.

I feel the same way. I still want colour on the CLI, but tend to configure my most commonly used tools and par back the colour almost completely, then use it very selectively for things that I want to stand out.

I think the only case it really makes sense to have colour salad is syntax highlighting, there's a lot of different types of things going on and the colour really does help to differentiate more easily.

I also find sticking to 16 ANSI colours really helps to manage the chaos and enforces consistency.
It was probably 10ish years ago I read about it. Most likely on BoingBoing.

I thought FSD applied only to uncontrolled access surface roads, and the bay bridge would be simply autopilot.

I know that in my car, the FSD stuff ends and regular autopilot takes over on highways and other controlled access roads. I've never driven the bay bridge in my Tesla (since I live thousands of miles away), but I remember it being a controlled access highway, so I assume it was the AP logic, not the FSD logic that was in control.
Well, the idea of nation states isn't that old. Passport are pretty recent, in their current form at least. And a person can be nationless, in which case they would be eligible for a UN passport.
Letting people choose whether to be referred to as men, women, or neutral (perhaps using neo-pronouns or singular them/they) is perfectly fine. But re-purposing existing words with other meanings is not. And "it" has a very specific meaning, one that just doesn't apply to conscious adult people. If I asked to be called "the object" that would not be a reasonable request, anymore than asking to be referred to as "it".

And particularly for "it" and other objectifying language, it has the huge problem that it makes other people uncomfortable. Especially those who overhear without being aware of your preference (imagine sending an email to a new client with text like "in my absence, contact my colleague X, it will assist you, it is an expert").

Curious about the homeless rates in Miami vs SF, I used the links at the bottom of this comment to estimate 1570 homeless living in Miami city limits vs 7754 living in SF. With SF's larger population, this corresponds to a 0.35% homeless rate in Miami vs 0.95% in SF.

Trying to capture more of how the homeless problem would "feel" from the perspective of someone walking around the city, I also calculated the homeless people per square mile of the two cities as Miami: 43.61, and SF: 165.33.

By either metric, SF does measure out worse than Miami by 3-4x

First the shape isn’t just because, the shape has that slope because more cost effective shapes failed. They didn’t want another bent pyramid.

As to the radio wave thing, what exact about this do you find surprising? It would be true of any large stone pyramid.

I didn't read their site in detail, but usually you're not actually framing the shot. You're buying images that they've already taken. Imaging satellites don't let you task the angle or direction and they simply continuously take pictures of anything underneath them as they pass overhead.
dying to know if the pool is saltwater or fresh water (or fresh water that becomes increasingly salty as the voyage continues).

All cooling is just moving heat from one place to another. There's no other way to cool anything.
I have books I've never opened since I read them that is just a marker like that. I have one copy I've never opened: I read it as an e-book but got the physical copy just to complete my set and have it on my shelf.

I also have books I've suddenly taken down to reference 20+ years after I read it, and where the text was not online, so I also like to have physical copies of books where the idea mattered because I know that some day I'll want to pass that idea on and will need a refresher.
If only owners/management was so interested in well-being of the remaining 138,000 employees and instead of doing buybacks, saved that money for salaries. Also jobs were cut not to save Google from bankruptcy, it was done to raise profits and shares value. They would be fine with few $10^9 less, but they don't want some of the money, they want all the money. Infinite growth is impossible.

That's exactly what "effective altruism" means. It's just philosophical marketing to dress the basest selfishness as altruism. Google the phrase up the next time you feel you have too much faith in humanity.
This is a very optimistic take and I like that. It’s just my experience that it’s very hard to convince people to make those kinds of changes, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try to do those things.

Have you tried the Spyder IDE for Python? For me its user experience and plotting support are very MATLAB like. It was the missing IDE that made it possible to get that MATLAB style workflow but do it with Python (or alternatively, to use Python for scientific tasks without having to always be going through CLI or notebooks, each of which have their issues).

To start doing that, a driver needs situational awareness. Getting that takes time. If you truly believe it's fully self driving, you think you can afford to look away and loose that awareness.

This gap between 'sometimes needs attention' and 'never needs attention' is hard to bridge and very dangerous, obviously
This oddly fails to mention a certain very popular variable-length instruction encoding that LLVM already supports. The Gist linked at the bottom of the article does explain how that works, though.
> We don't actually know what most decommissionings will cost. $300M is just a lower bound.

Of course we do, we've decommissioned plants before. About 200 commercial and 500 research reactors. That's a sufficient sample size. [1]

> Nukes' fuel cost seems low only in comparison to their other very high costs.

$0.0015/kWh is objectively cheap on an absolute scale. I don't know if you noticed, but California pays about $0.19/kWh, so this would be 0.78% of the delivered cost.

i do not defend copilot for training on private repositories. or ignoring licenses.

None of this is a "theory", really. It's plain as day, including the absolute hostility of the US towards the Nord Stream pipelines.

It does not mean that Russia wasn't planning to invade Ukraine, but the US saw that eventuality as useful to further their own interests. This has worked so far: the US are undoubtedly the biggest (only?) winners so far.
This post reflects the author's very poor understanding of neural networks, software licenses and copyright law, and borders on misinformation. Please share this kind of shit on Twitter instead.

If your AI is spitting derivative works or straight-up verbatim copies of the original, stripped of a license, and given the original license even allows derivative works, then yes, you better lawyer up. This applies to both software, art, or any copyright-protected work. Legality aside, it is also shitty and on the lower end of morals to abuse people's work/art in this way. AI systems that don't fuck with people and their work are perfectly fine. Stop fucking with people and you won't need lawyers.

Agile (EDIT: The Agile Manifesto specifically) is meant to solve a very specific problem. It's meant to solve the problem of describing software via a contract, taking a long time to build the software described in that contract, and then the software not being useful despite an enormous amount of effort/resources poured into it.

If you are working in an optimized team, that understands the business, understands the customer, and efficiently and incrementally delivers business value building the right kind of software then these practices won't help you and as you point out may actually hurt you.

The above though is some minuscule fraction of software teams in the real world (and some may not know it).

The problem with Agile practices and Scrum is that despite their theoretical ability to improve the way we build software, and the good intentions of the original ideas, inefficient teams and companies will always find a way to adopt the practices they think are good (and therefore keep them inefficient) while rejecting the practices that may help them. That's the conundrum of pretty much any process (and funny enough "people over process" in a twisted way means people that have no clue will subvert any process that tried to push for doing things better in most orgranizations).
But TDD does not separate architecture design from detailed design from development from testing like Waterfall. It integrates them, or at least enables integrating them. It is literally not Waterfall, which is an idealized (and thus its primary flaw) process predicated on that strong separation that TDD deliberately breaks. TDD is predicated, instead, on the idea that we don't know everything up front. Otherwise we wouldn't need or want to write tests in the middle of development.

As to the downvote, I guess you thought it was me, it was not. But I don't plan to upvote you either.
Ah right.

Communicating across cultures is always bound to lead to the occasional misunderstanding, even more so over text. When writing something "dry" such as documentation it's probably a good idea to keep that in mind, but making jokes worse just so that a few more people can perhaps maybe possibly understand it is where I draw the line.

I think you're both right, but you might be thinking of different tasks and libraries. If we're talking about solving a specific type of PDE, then in that scenario he's probably right that MATLAB will work better out of the box, but if we're talking about logistic regression on data from a messy CSV table, then python will work great and have better usability than MATLAB (IMO). He might also be thinking of versioning and packaging headaches in python, which are quite a pain the first time exposed to them coming from a walled garden environment.
> This argument about what "exploit" means seems pointless and unrelated to the actual topic - which seems to be, is it moral to hire someone in a poor country to do work for you. My claim is that not sending work to poor countries is often even more cruel - because it keeps people in poverty.

Exploitation is not a pointless issue; it harms many millions, maybe billions of people.

The options are not only A) Exploit people, or B) Don't hire anyone. We can and should hire them in ways that aren't exploitative.
