I share a bit of that experience when trying to make Chinese friends. The first place I lived was with a family who had a son around my age. He was solely interested in practicing English but he had virtually no life outside of school.

I moved into a foreign students dorm and most of my classmates were Korean and Japanese, but I spoke to them in Chinese. The friend I hung out with the most was Korean and I didn't feel like there was a gap in hobbies. We had a group that would go out and play pool, drink soju, and sing KTV. I never had good opportunities to meet and hangout with other Chinese students. When people go to bars, they really don't go and socialize with others. Socializing is usually contained to the group you are in.

I think I'd say though there is still a big advantage in just being able to converse with taxi drivers, retail workers, etc. People are pretty chatty because westerners speaking Chinese is kind of novel. It is a great way to better understand what I consider a fairly misunderstood country.
Absolutely fantastic - thanks for sharing.

Do you think you just step into your EV one morning and the drive train battery is just "dead"? Are you sure you're not conflating a high tech 500kg piece of technology to the crappy bargain bin 12V battery you have in your ICE car?

The battery will degrade, that's how the laws of physics and chemistry work. But the degradation is perfectly predictable and actually (according to historical data) slower than expected. You can buy 10 year old Teslas with 80-85% battery capacity left.

So instead of 450km you can only go for 360km before needing to charge. If you're a hardcore roadtripper who does 1000km+ every weekend just for fun, you can sell it and get a new one. But the average driver doesn't do even 100km per day, they won't care.

> Now the question is this. If an AI is doing something illegal like practicing law, how does one sanction an AI?

Its not and you don’t.

When a legal person (either a natural person or corporation) is doing something illegal like unauthorized practice of law, you sanction that person. The fact that they use an AI as a key tool in their unauthorized law practice is not particularly significant, legally.
Tesla has FSD released on literally every car in the US that has purchased it. Hundreds of thousands of cars.

No one serious in the self driving space is using disengagements to pick winners or leaders on the path to commercialization. There is no standard about what qualifies as a disengagement and companies will interpret and report their disengagements differently. Those interpretations also change over time, making it even more difficult to actually understand how a company has progressed in its technology.

And again you're missing the point. Waymo/Cruise are operating in an extremely different and much more narrow context than Tesla's FSD. Let's go put Waymo on a random road in a random city and see how it fares compared to Tesla FSD. I guarantee it will be tremendously worse and no one who knows anything about the space would argue otherwise.

I don’t know much about the field of law, but anecdotally it doesn’t strike me as particularly data driven. So I think, even before introducing any kind of AI, the above would be met with a healthy dose of gatekeeping.

Like the whole sport of referencing prior rulings, based on opinions at a point in time doesn’t seem much different than anecdotes to me.

But I’d love to be proven wrong though.

The fact that healthy people still get depression makes me skeptical of hypotheses like this. If it were as simple as taking probiotics, x and y supplements, and eating healthier, (and brushing teeth more), I think a lot more people would have beaten major depression by now.

Someone else in the thread suggested it's just exercise, sleep, and diet. Yet there are plenty of folks who do these things perfectly and still get depression.
Yeah, gaming arcades. They still exist in Japan and are coming back in the US by attaching things like karaoke and bowling alleys to them. But I think that's more for young people and I suspect all the adult activities involve drinking.

I feel like plugin support would be best but I've no idea how that's supposed to work in the presence of a predefined grammar. There's also so many variants I don't think there's a good way to build out a composite grammar.

But you'd have to do this anyway if you did all the research yourself. At least the AI assistant can help give you some good leads so you don't have to start from scratch.

No, that's exactly the opposite of what I'm saying. If you did the research yourself, you wouldn't need to verify every cite once you find a relevant source/cite, because previous lawyers would have already validated the citations contained within that source. (A good lawyer should validate at least some of those cites, but frequently that's not necessary unless you're dealing with big stakes.)

And the AI assistant, at least this one and the ones based on ChatGPT, don't provide good leads. They provide crap leads that not only don't exist, but increase the amount of work. And any "AI" based on LLM will never be capable of providing good cites, because they'll never understand what they're reading and/or citing, and they'll miss relevant citations that are not statistically likely (i.e., new case law, or cases with similar facts, or similar law, or otherwise similar contexts that can be applied to the case at hand) that a context-aware AI or living breathing human would find easily.

At best, LLM-based AI might be able to help people with very simple legal situations. But you don't need AI for that. A single decision tree is easier to implement, and it's even easier to verify the domain-specific process and outcomes to make sure you don't get something silly like happened with this "AI".

While this is a common refrain, as driver on my 3rd EV “charging network needed” a bad, bad misunderstanding propagated by people who dont drive EVs.

I charge my EV at home. I’ve charged my EV on someone elses charge (because i needed it, not because I got a better parking space) maybe twice since i moved to an EV with a 180 mile range. Heck, even with my “first gen” EV with a 63 mile range, I charged at home 95ish percent of the time, and those days are behind us now.

$2k to run a 240v external outlet, $500 for a charge station, and you’re set. Apartment dwellers still have issues, but thats simply because govmt/demand hasnt insisted yet.
> When are we going to get a distributed peer to peer randomness service.

(assuming you mean computers returning random numbers, and your people with dice is an analogy)

The problem with that is how do you trust the source if you need “cryptographically secret” random numbers. One of the sources could poison the well with bad entropy and increase by a small but significant amount the chance of guessing your keys.

OK, so you could the data from many sources, but that would add latency so not an option where performance matters and even then if someone gains control of a significant portion of the distributed system (just by standing up lots of hosts) the issue persists.

You could also do a bunch of statistical tests, but again that is work that will harm performance and if you are going to that sort of effort anyway you could setup your own random sources (a couple of active Linux boxes, on older Linux kernels running haveged, on newer ones the latter part isn't needed (https://github.com/jirka-h/haveged/issues/57)) and use those tests to make sure those sources are statically safe.

So such a service isn't really needed, and where it might be isn't likely to be trusted, so it could exist but as a play-thing not a serious service.

On my little home server, not a particularly up to date CPU etc, running 5.10, I can pull >3Gbit/sec from /dev/random. Heck, the Pi400 that is currently my router can hand out ~230Mbit/sec or entropy.

I don't want to list specific contributors here. We often have no information on why people left the project - there might be all sorts of personal factors. I will say that my broader sentiment - that Rust's momentum has slowed, that it's not delivering on its commitments in a timely way, that there are concerns about it's ability to deliver in future - has been expressed publicly by high profile past core contributors:

Why do you think I’m pretending I’m not?

The real problem is that you’re implicitly taking the position that aiding specific groups of people is a zero-sum game. Should the US government give reparations for what they did to Japanese americans during WWII? Absolutely. Should germany and other european countries give reparations for Jewish families as a result of the holocaust? Absolutely.

Do poor white americans from appalachia deserve economic aid from the government after such prolonged disinvestment? Of course.

And while it makes sense to offer these
groups economic-based college admissions support, it doesn't make sense to do so purely on the basis of ethnicity/race, as those groups demonstrably don't face the same level of institutionalized discrimination as blacks. Though such measures would have been warranted for Jews and Asians for a good part of the 20th century.

But guess what—none of these remedies are in conflict with each other. At no point does actively correcting the massive generational wealth and education imbalance that black americans face, take away from correcting what any other group of minoritized people is owed.
> we are permanently damaged individuals that won‘t ever experience what we perceive as the normal, healthy social life and mental states. Our brains are permanently altered to our detriment.

Pretty much all of the available evidence says otherwise. Look into neuroplasticity, developing healthy habits, and exposing yourself to people and situations that are far different than your comfort zone. I’m not the same person I was 20 years ago, and I’m not the person I was ten years ago. If you’re not busy growing, you’re busy dying. Change is the one thing we can count on to improve ourselves. But you have to accept it and get on with it. There are some people out there who have great difficulty changing and growing. Best to confront that now rather than later. Challenge yourself every day, and at the end of a year you’ll look back and laugh at your old self who said they were permanently damaged. Everyone has their unique way of doing this. For me, it’s going to nature and immersing myself in it every day and trying to find the beauty in all things. Find your own way.
I could imagine 2 use cases

divMod is for when you want Z_n, you actually care about the equivalence classes and their "canonical" representative.

quotRem is for symmetry. The values of the remainders are the same, but you get some sign flip for free if you want it.

So for example. Suppose you had some number of hours and you wanted to "convert to days", if you want symmetric outputs then quotRem will do that and divMod won't.

36 hours divMod 24(hours/day) = 1d + 12h
-36 hours divMod 24(hours/day) = -2d + 12h
36 hours quotRem 24(hours/day) = 1d + 12h
-36 hours quotRem 24(hours/day) = -1d - 12h

obviously the information is the same. 12 = -12 (mod 24) but the form is different.

I’ve also worked in gov. And they’re not very good at it either, OPM breach especially was pretty bad, and that’s it’s own workforce: the most protected set of people under any government.
Gov does default to classifying documents, if that’s what you’re talking about, which leads to it being very secretive; the opposite of transparent. See the Biden/Trump cavalier treatment of such documents - honestly probably none are actually important anyway.

But again the IRS, which deals with everyone most directly (more than say intel documents) is notoriously bad and behind the times at it’s computer systems.

MatchGroup might sell your data to a company for ads and the like, but it’s opt in, and one of several. When’s the last time government did something opt-in?

TIL. I haven't used OCaml yet.
Yes, but apt-get clean is still redundant [ed: because the upstream Debian/Ubuntu images automatically runs apt-clean via how dpkg/apt is configured - and your image should inherit this behavior]. Personally I'm not a fan of deleting random files like man pages and documentation - so instead of:

RUN apt-get update -qq && \
apt-get install -y build-essential libvips && \
apt-get clean && \
rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* /usr/share/doc /usr/share/man

I'd do:

RUN apt-get update -qq && \
apt-get install -y build-essential libvips && \
rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
Lots of Model 3s and Ys in taxi service already, and the fuel and maintenance savings offset the higher vehicle cost rapidly. Regulation simply encourages the transition along to internalize the pollution externalities.

NYC has a payment floor for rideshare drivers, so the revenue should be there to cover the equipment cost. The difficulty level is based on what rideshare companies can get away with paying drivers; if you mandate EVs, you need to also mandate a minimum payment to drivers to cover these costs. Rideshare services can then decide how to balance those costs between charging customers more and their profits.

> I would argue that AI-based tools could prevent such HUMAN mistakes.

Still you won’t find a useful/sober lawyer who would argue a case in front of a judge based on a made up precedent which never existed in reality.

Making a mistake as you put it, in humans, is quite different than “hallucinations” of an LLM. The practical AI tool that is good for preventing such human mistakes (precisely) doesn’t exist _yet_.
DuckDuckGo Censoring Search Results?
I want to state up from that I'm not concerned about risks related to covid vaccines or vaccination in general. That's not a motivating factor behind this post.

What I am concerned about is that DuckDuckGo appears to be censoring results when paired with any particular activity. Searching "risk covid booster running" or "risk covid booster baseball" are blocked, but "risk covid booster cloud" returns results like normal.

I appreciate their ostensible valuation of privacy, but if this comes hand in hand with overt censorship it may be time to move on to something new. Any suggestions?

Update:

The original query returns results again, but https://duckduckgo.com/?q=duckduckgo+censoring+risk+covid+bo... has the same original behavior, right down to clicking "images" and back to "all" instead goes to "news."

Was Lisp actually ever risen at JPL, or was it just used on these handful of projects by a single or small group of developers?

> At one point an attempt was made to port one part of the system (the planner) to C++. This attempt had to be abandoned after a year. Based on this experience I think it's safe to say that if not for Lisp the Remote Agent would have failed.

I like Lisp and am certainly no fan of the complexity of C++, and barely know it because of such, but is this the conclusion that should be taken? Porting an existing and in-work application from one language to another, with the two languages being rather wildly different, seems like trouble from the start. It doesn't address, however, the idea of starting from the beginning with another language. The conclusion quoted seems to skip over the possibility of using another language from the start.
