Censorship is one thing, but then I read reports of things like this: https://hongkongfp.com/2022/09/26/father-of-chinese-ink-girl...

Personally, I could not tolerate living in a country where I have to watch what I say out of fear of me and my family ending up in prison for years. (Or in an internment camp, depending on my ethnicity.) Perhaps your Australian didn’t think they had anything interesting to speak out about; if they did, they might be singing a different tune.

By the way, a decade ago, Russian leadership suggested that Russia was a “democracy with Russian attributes,” and that it had to be understood on its own terms. Of course, it was just a convenient fig leaf for the erosion of freedoms and consolidation of power happening behind the scenes. We can all see where Russia is today.

I am glad Chinese people are still able to affect policy, but I wonder how long that will last. If there is a war with Taiwan, will the government tolerate dissent? I think not.
> Oh my god this is the only thing people are talking about. Please don’t do this. Let’s talk about the actual disaster instead of spinning up another useless whirlpool of meta-debate.

This may be true in your circles. But almost no one in mine even know this happened. It has not been a top headline in any of the mainstream news sites, I only learned about it by visiting alternative news. It's pretty disturbing how hard the news is trying to bury this story.
I think it would have helped if you'd defined your terms earlier. Wikipedia, for example, doesn't distinguish between the terminology TCO and TCE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tail_call
No, see my posts. Depending on what country one's in Chaplin's copyright could last until 2067 (Chaplin died in 1977, now add 90 years after the author's death).
And Apple AirPods, launched in 2016 and now a $20B business.
Many peopl say that capitalism should be laidsez-faire and government should leave us alone. But actually, government is on the SIDE of capital and corporations, and they constantly work together to keep the public distracted and divided enough to actually force these corporations to change:

My Struggle with ADHD Was Sleep Apnea All Along
Is Reddit the least open platform on the internet? It's the only place I can think of where accounts are easily permabanned. Even Twitter gives a multitude of options and now practically allows everyone back on after a 6 month timeout. Aside from this place of course. But this place is a bit of an outlier.

I'll give you a reason why it's not just trouble makers getting banned. Let's say you allegedly break a rule of a sub. You feel this is unjust so you complain on one of the other friendly subreddits. This will be considered brigading and harassment. Immediate ban.

Is Reddit really good anymore? It's hardcore enforced group think.
In summary, my struggles with focus, learning, and low energy during the day led me to seek professional help, resulting in a journey over the past 5 years that involved taking supplements, self-medicating, and receiving diagnoses of adult ADHD and sleep apnea, as well as undergoing surgery by an ENT. The symptoms of sleep apnea can resemble those of ADHD.
I merely pointed at the hypocrisy of using the line "think of the children" to enact laws that limit and control everyone else for issues that cause significantly less harm than guns which indicates that the goal is not to protect children, but to enforce certain beliefs and exert more control.

> How does this support your stance on unrestricted porn access again? Requiring an ID for porn would be equivalent to requiring an ID for alcohol would it not?

No because in the former the website will be forced to share my details with the government, I will be in a database, with no way of removing myself from there. I can also show a fake ID for alcohol if I wish to.

The difference here is the tracking, and I can't trust that my data will not be logged.

consequences.

> Let's look at firearms as well since you seem to really think you've proven something with your statements. What state can I click a website check box saying I'm 18 and have as may firearms as I want show up in my house?

I didn't intend on proving anything except that that argument, meaning that no firearms are sold to 18 year olds legally, is bogus with respect to shootings carried via assault weapons.

What you appear not to grasp is the difference in the order of magnitude of the consequences.

Having access to guns with intention to do harm is, by all means, not equivalent to having access to porn unless the person is actively seeking for ways to commit harm, at which point they are well into Tor.

> The idea that some people get around laws is never a justification to just do away with laws or not have them in the first place. This is even more true when it comes to children, our society is ENTIRELY built on the agreement that under 18 is not an adult and they do not have full rights or access to whatever they want. There is a good scientific reason for this.

I have never claimed anything to the contrary.

However, you made my point quite well without realizing it. I merely replaced a few words of a segment in your comment, and appended a clause.

What state can I purchase an assault rifle from a legal shop and have as many assault rifles as I want sold to me, if assault rifles are completely banned from the country?

You agreed, right there, that laws should exist even if people do seek for ways to go around them, and that making it harder to do a bad thing works. It follows then that reducing access and imposing further restrictions on ownership will make access significantly harder for bad actors, be it children or otherwise.
You have to file export declaration when moving more than $2500 of anything out of the country (except personal stuff for vacations or whatever). You also have to declare gold when you enter if it's over a certain amount. Vague rules in the CFR (https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/31/1020.210) based off vague laws from the 70s and 80s are the basis of billions of dollars in fines collected by the government every year. This vagueness makes it possible for them to continually shift the goalposts without an act of congress, i.e. what passes for a bank compliance program in 2023 is much different than what passed in 2005 even though none of the underlying statutes have changed very much.
Whew boy you hit the nail on the head. Google just seems to be aimless at this point, and now with the layoffs (despite their immense profitability) they're going to have a much tougher time hiring and retaining top talent.
I live close to East Palestine, less than an hour in PA, and downstream as far as the air is concerned half of the time, but upstream from the water. Also, I used to work right outside of East Palestine, years ago, before I switched careers and hopped around the country, coming back home recently.

The amount of emotion and just ignorance surrounding this incident on social media, and especially reddit, just leaves me in contempt reaching the level of contempt I have for politicians that enabled the rail companies. Even disgusting takes of schadenfreude, that it's Ohio, that they deserved it.

Yeah, it's bad. No, it's not that bad. You have people silencing others for explaining the chemical processes involved. A bunch of partisan bickering, total ignorance, and hysterical comparisons to Chernobyl or Love Canal.

No, the deregulation was bi-partisan. Yeah, maybe the media doesn't focus on it as much because most are poor there, and in the surrounding area. Yes, coverage and response would probably be different if a train derailed outside of "flyover country." If only we had a semblance of journalism that could make the case, and the connections, to the recent use of legal force by the feds to prevent the rail strike with pitiful concessions, and deregulation over the last six years, and the rail companies, a shared blame.

It's a bad situation, but unless there's some really nasty stuff I haven't heard about in the tankers outside of the VC, which they burned off, we're talking about acid rain. Which isn't exactly new for the area and surrounding, let's be honest. The half-life in contact with water is negligible. And after that degradation, we're talking about something with less acidity than vinegar. It's not Chernobyl. Even still, change and consequences would be nice.

Thank you for answering! but I am still not sure how can you prevent someone importing io lib in go or js and writing to a file.

If everybody defects everybody loses and the world gets a little worse with each cycle.

Sucks to be the guy cooperating in this scenario, but it's the only way to start clawing things back from the brink.
Right, but that conclusion is teleological.

First, they have no evidence that evolution could create a jumping bean that jumps in a straight line. It seems that the direction the bean moves is a function of the uncurling larvae but also the shape of the bean. Possibly such a movement could have evolved, but the authors are presenting this like the random walk improved the larvae's fitness function.

Second, the conclusion that a straight line would find shade quickest, but only for a small percentage of larvae, is obvious and doesn't result in anything scientifically new. Of course if you draw straight lines from any point in all direction, the straight lines that happened to intersect with the shade will be the fastest path to the shade. But just as obviously, heading in a straight line in a random direction is not the most efficient way to find shade.

If they had the freedom to evolve any search strategy possible, there are plenty of search strategies that will uncover shade faster than a random walk. But the larva don't have the ability to select any search strategy they want, they're blind and have no senses besides their current temperature. They have no way of knowing which direction they're facing. Therefore a random walk is simply all that is available to them, it's not a strategy.
> Torpedoes can only be fired at certain things.

Yeah, the humans program the torpoedo to discriminate enemy ships from others, and then entrust that classifier to make autonomous kill decisions. How will autonomous drones and missiles work any differently? They're going to be precisely the same; classifiers engineered/trained by humans entrusted to make decisions to kill. They might shoot a city full of civilians, and a CAPTOR torpedo might shoot a ship full of civilians too. It's nothing new, it's more of the same brought to a wider scope than before.
This piece has a click bait title and focuses exclusively on the last week of tech-news.
IMO the answer to the clickbait title is still yes, but the reasons lie in the last 5 years of stagnation and extend far beyond the use of AI in search/information retrieval. Google is a massive company that does a lot more than Search. The simple problem is that Google as a company is languishing without purpose. The incentives do not line up for attention to detail, product excellence or ground breaking tech. Instead they now have a massive sprawling enterprise that is dominated by politics over products.
I wanted to see what these were like so I decided to burn $20 at one once and see if I could get any crypto out of it. They do the full KYC experience, so you have to scan your ID, get a text message and respond, it was wild to have to do this whole process standing in a convenience store. I definitely assumed I was having my identity stolen. But my identity was not stolen, I did the KYC steps, inserted cash, and got a paper slip with a BTC address on it with my money. The fees were insane, I don't remember but it was probably like $5 in total fees for my $20 transaction.
Oh, that's good. Is it actually used now in packages in Debian repos though?
The difference is that people have been using ChatGPT for months. It doesn't have as much to prove as Bard, which we know nothing about.
My impression as a non-expert who has only dabbled in Rust is that while it is ‘easy’ by design to write memory-safe code, it is relatively difficult to write panic-free code, and by and large the ecosystem doesn't try. (I know about `no_panic`.) In some domains (e.g. the rust-analyzer panic discussed here yesterday¹) this is fine; in others “this is fine”.²

The first Ariane 5 launch is an example of the latter. The code was written in a ‘safe’ language, Ada. A conversion overflow (that, as it happened, was in fact genuinely harmless) triggered a panic that (by design) brought down the subsystem, and with it the rocket.³

I have never worked with Rust but seeing major operating systems and critical softwares gradually adopting, and other developers reporting less segfaults when replacing their codebase with Rust is convincing enough for me to try it out.
It is in the "About" page :-)

I always get confused by why folks ask why we have server content. The Wall Street Journal covers more than just one road in NYC.
In what way would they "go big?" They haven't done anything to expand or improve Whole Foods since they bought it, other than integrating Prime which is sort of a no-brainer. They didn't bring any of their robotics stuff to the last mile nor make any dents in their competitors' customer base.
You can oversimplify anything like that. How hard is it to make Maps? Just digitize an existing map.
The balloons seemed to get the most coverage and hype on social media / twitter. And now the same social media / twitter is complaining about how the news spent too much time talk about the balloons.

Reading the economist on a weekly basis, the balloon story didn't get the same kind of hysterical coverage that I was lead to believe by twitter. I wish people would actually spending time reading instead of just scanning headlines and twitter and drawing strong conclusions and getting angry about it
I have a very basic question about fully homomorphic encryption. As I understand it, the encryption scheme ensures that an adversary who has access to the physical computer cannot determine what data the computer program is operating on, even by inspecting the physical states of the machine.

My question is whether or not it is possible for the adversary to determine what computer program is being run. To use the example provided by the post, it is not possible to determine which two integers are being added --- but is it possible to know that the computer is running a program that is adding two integers?

Oh, if you take a large overall sample of the Reddit, you will find the overall opinion that Rust is gay (really, it's way more irritating than here).

Those are just people annoyed that their knowledge is getting outdated, and grasping for any medium-approved excuse to not learn the new thing. Those believe that Rust will replace C, they just don't like it.

(Anyway, C, like COBOL, won't just die. There's no reason to be afraid.)
> "... took responsibility..." - I don't think it means what they think it means.

They think it means "I take responsibility for the 10% jump in the stock price on the announcement of layoffs and expect my bonus to reflect the increase in shareholder value, please ignore the 60% decline in the shareprice over the last year which is due to market conditions and not my responsibility."

Its too early to call; but come the end of financial year its probably going to mean exactly what they think it means.
That's not an excuse for lock-in. But they indeed always tried to do that. ActiveX, browser wars, etc.
Yes. They must regain their "innovator" status. Current CEO is a PM not an innovator.
Disagree - the difference with now is the same difference between supervised and unsupervised machine learning.

This might be an unpopular opinion, but the speed at which this story has overtaken social media has made me skeptical. That coupled with the fact that the story practically doesn't exist in mainstream media. And in this case I just don't buy the whole "lamestream" media narrative. The mainstream media was all over the water crisis in Flint, Michigan. There's no reason they wouldn't be interested in giving more coverage to this story if it were worth covering.

Something about this story's rise to fame has seemed really inorganic to me.
As long as they dont hamstring themselves by demanding they launch on only their own launch vehicles, this has some possibility. Better that they spin it out into a separate company that would give them the freedom of being launch provider agnostic.
What resource leads you to believe otherwise?

The 83(b) election applies to RSUs [1]

It even applies to ISOs (if your company allows you to "exercise early", i.e. pre-vesting).

The important thing to note is that the deadline timer for an 83(b) starts ticking at granting, not at vesting, which is a date that most people don't hold in their heads as important.

> If you use absolute rates of growth

I'm not sure what an "absolute rate" (of growth) is, can you explain?

Aren't growth rates usually (always?) expressed as a percentage change of a variable over time? How could that be anything other than relative?
Bullshit to you but full time work for plenty...
First movers without a fast follower is a huge advantage. There's a great conference talk with Bezos about how he mentioned with disruptive products, there's usually a fast follower entering into the competition - but he was surprised at how long it took other companies to copy AWS.

Similarly with Tesla
The MI300 will compete more with Grace Hopper than with the H100 SXM5. We will be covering and showing both later this year.
This is an awful take. Western media covers scandals in western governments regularly. You could also always check out Al Jazeera, if you know what their slant is on middle east coverage.

Also comparing anything going on in the US for the last 60 years to the genocide happening in Xinjiang is ridiculous on its face.
Maps are not fine at all, not anymore. They have started showing "sponsored locations" on the maps very prominently. For eg, some outlets (restaurants, electronics, apparel etc.) will be shown very large and prominently, even at very zoomed out levels. It is highlighted very disproportionately, obscures the nearby area and has bigger in size that public attractions like parks, local monuments etc. This is happening in my area for some time atleast. Really cheapens the experience.
Congratulations! You’ve completed yet another year of gainful employment and it’s time to report your taxes. Beware!

Cyberthugs are paying close attention as you report your income. They’ll be targeting your W2, your 1099, and, now with some NEW forms online, much more.

In this week’s blog post – some of the more prevalent options and a few steps of caution you should be taking.
That's some bullshit. you did the right thing. When a new employee joins and notices that something sucks the answer should be something like these:

We know, but haven't had time to fix it, maybe we'll assign that to you when you're caught up.

We didn't think of it that way, good catch, lets go into detail later.

Yeah, but doing it this way makes this other thing easier, we'll show you that when you're ready.

or even: I don't know, my brain is fried with this project, can you ask again in a few months?

I think physical wallets might be a requirement for crypto technologies to really go mainstream. Not because of any security reasons, but because it makes it easier for the average person to understand why if they lose their private key their money/data/etc is gone. It's hard to communicate this with software wallets when every other system people use has recovery mechanisms.
Who is proposing it is what is being talked about here.
Also, you know, it's fucking fiction from an asshole who knew nothing about the world?
I mean, you can do Win+R and then "calc" on windows too, but that's still context switching and having to remember it's there.

Once again, compared to it just being there in front of you and ready to go that's still work to do to get it there.
> Don’t chide me. Parent comment is ridiculous and harmful fearmongering and hyperbole. Read your own link - there is no mention of harm from acute exposure and environmental an biological persistence is very low.

Reading the Wikipedia link it's not so clear if only continuous exposure elevates cancer risk. However it also lists significant acute effects:

> Prior to 1974, workers were commonly exposed to 1,000 ppm vinyl chloride, causing "vinyl chloride illness" such as acroosteolysis and Raynaud's Phenomenon. The symptoms of vinyl chloride exposure are classified by ppm levels in ambient air with 4,000 ppm having a threshold effect.[17] The intensity of symptoms varies from acute (1,000–8,000 ppm), including dizziness, nausea, visual disturbances, headache, and ataxia, to chronic (above 12,000 ppm), including narcotic effect, cardiac arrhythmias, and fatal respiratory failure.[18] RADS (Reactive Airway Dysfunction Syndrome) may be caused by acute exposure to vinyl chloride.[19]

So I'm not sure if the previous post was harmful fearmongering.
I find that if I'm looking for a factual topic I just get heavily SEO'ed, heavily ad laden blogspam. The algorithm must be weighting dwell time because if you are looking for recipe for how to cook eggs you'll get articles with 7 pages of ads interspersed with fluff filler copy before any actual recipe. And they probably have no incentive to cut this down because much of those ads might go through google's own ad networks.
I think it's kind of BS that the restaurant gets charged a fee at all.

I don't have a problem with delivery but I do have a problem that the restaurant has to raise prices to cover the hidden fees that go to doordash out side of the delivery fees.

So, who ends up subsidizing delivery so of the delivery cost, ever one else that doesn't get delivery.

And the driver doesn't really get crap. and they let go a bunch of the developers.
I was once told this after raising the issue that "hey maybe an API that responds with root ssh passwords is a bad idea, and our clients are going to be pissed once they find out." And.. I was right.

So often, citing Chesterton's fence is significantly more naive than what it attempts to criticize.
Ai first?

They completely missed the mark on LLMs as a critical component of search. They are AI last. This company had to be dragged into innovating on their core business using their supposed core competency.
Thankfully, all we need to do is catch an AI in a logical fallacy and it will explode.

On second thought, maybe not the best idea for armed drones...
