Yes. If you prioritize the environment for people over vehicles, then vehicles take longer to store and travel at slower speeds.
We are? I got an updated booster for Omicron variants last June.
So.. i'm going to disagree, Rust (or any language!) is fine for prototyping. The trick is don't experiment when you're needing to rush a product out. Pick what you and your team is most comfortable in.

Avoiding allocations in Rust, on purpose, and being uncomfortable with how to solve design challenges caused by hyper optimizing your code .. is not a Rust problem. Or an any language problem. Rust gave you rope and you hung yourself with it.

If you're stubborn and you want to use Rust but aren't familiar with the ways to avoid this; Allocate. Use Arc, Rc, Clone, etc. It won't hurt, it won't be terribly slow, and it almost assuredly won't be slower than your prototype languages.

Some might reply "Well then why use Rust!?", to which i would reply because i like it! I love Rust, but if i'm prototyping code i'm not going to write insanely abstract generics either. Why would i? I don't know the problem i'm solving yet, so how can i write truly generic abstractions to solve said problems? Performance is similar. I'll use lifetimes will prototyping in the simple cases, which is most to be honest, but beyond that don't hyper optimize.

To summarize: Choose your favorite language at crunch time. Even if your favorite language gives you rope to hang yourself with you probably don't need to.
OAuth library is a perfect example of lousy engineers inventing complexity.

Here's a talk where Jack Diederich mentions it: https://youtu.be/o9pEzgHorH0?t=870

It is indeed complex: 200+ classes. Plenty of unit tests and mocks.

And then there's his implementation:

- 0% unit test coverage.

- Lightweight at less than 200 lines, including blanks and docstrings.

QED.
I haven't heard him claim to be an inventor either. I think people outside tech confuse founder and inventor.
As an aging millennial that grew up in West Texas, I have the exact opposite feelings.

To me cars, equal freedom. I grew up in a small neighborhood, I rode bikes to my friends houses there but my neighborhood was so far removed from other places and stores that there was no other place to go. Getting my license at 16 opened so many doors for me. Now I could go hang out at my other friends houses that lived 10-15 miles away from me. I could get a job, go to the store and movies, and just cruse around without having my parents question me. I didn't have a cell phone back then, so being able to leave and not be contacted was glorious.

For college I moved out to the Texas Panhandle. When gas was cheap I'd often go out for long drives into the country with friends, to talk, so explore and see what was out there, to visit family, and to make beer runs because our city was dry meaning you had to go out of town to buy a six pack.

When I have had extended periods of not having a vehicle I have get a visceral sense of foreboding and dread. I feel like a caged animal, unable to leave any situation, escape in case of danger. These feelings mildly lessen if public transit is available, but they are still there. Having any kind of vehicle feels like safety as I know I can flee if I need to, even if I don't.
It could but it's easy enough to force it to always agree with the underlying low resolution image (though I'm not sure if that is done here).
Despite what CS and SE classes try to drill into you, null results or failure cases are nearly always better handled right when they happen instead of passing them up with layers of exception handling. Log it, pass null up, and just immediately handle it. Fail early and none of the rest of the function matters.

Even types of exceptions are rarely useful results outside of reading the logs or sometimes in libraries outside of your control.
That's an evolution 101 explanation of why heterosexuals are not extinct, which is fine as far as it goes. It's not a causal explanation of what makes people straight.

In fact, no-one knows what makes people straight, gay, or otherwise. So there is not much to talk about, from a purely scientific point of view.

But anyway, that was an aside. You haven't responded to the main point of either of my comments. If you really are only interested in having a debate about the causes of homosexuality, I'm not the person you're looking for (and the comments on this article aren't the place for it).
I've been saying this since the exact start of the pandemic. I already have brain issues and I simply do not want to roll the dice that are very much not in my favor. If I get covid and I live I pretty much know that the rest of my life is more fucked than it already is. But everybody's walking around the grocery store without masks on. Nobody gives to fucks about anybody else anymore. So here I am, still purposefully having my life on pause, the one time a week if even that that I go to the grocery store I still wear my n95 mask... I just don't get it. I don't. I'm supposed to be this impulsive flighty forgetful person with ADHD and issues with executive control but the entire population is acting like they have these issues instead of me. No one is able to do risk assessment of this very glaring issue in front of us.
Well, profits should be maximized in the infinite time horizon. Which means no one can complain that profits are low during their lifetime.
Couldn't agree more. The last couple of years were the same for me: will not post until I have of something impact or will not share my art unless it is just the way I like it but this year, I have just started putting stuff out.

Whether it is of any use to anyone or whether anyone will find my art good is beyond my control. I have just started putting stuff out which interests me and which makes me fulfilled.
> ...then you need to keep it powered down in a controlled environment

Mold and water damage can be mitigated with environmental controls but even then you're going to have decay issues because so many components just break down overtime. Many plastics just become brittle and disintegrate over time with or without exposure to UV. 10 year old devices have their softtouch rubber turning to a gooey sticky melting mess. Electrolytic capacitors and batteries leaking are commonly known but lesser known issues occur. The MFM Drive testing that Adrian's Digital Basement did recently comes to mind, 5 of 5 drives he tested were dead. One was a drive he'd validated a year prior and stored correctly.
Taking into account phphphphp's sibling comment, maybe disingenuous wasn't the best word to use. What would better describe my complain would be that OP takes a non-empathetic stance on the problem, and coupled with notorious social bias against women when it comes to their reproductive rights, signals to me an argumentation made in rather bad faith, therefore "disingenuous".
> I can't get it why people would prefer to add "?" to everything instead of just having exceptions which automate that behavior.

Good question... Maybe...

Because with exceptions it's easy to end up with missing cases or unhelpful catch-all exceptions.

Typically with optional values I find that this is not the case for some reason.

My memory is that it rang so true I didn't need to read it. I'm knee deep(decades)in trying to define an aesthetic for "Technology" so that it can be judged as a media. To put it another way a process for judging technical implementations based on universal human needs.

I will check out your reference.
Money Stuff’s Matt Levine has written extensively about this and the general consensus is “if the judge says it is.”

Shareholders are always bringing lawsuits against the companies they have holdings in for this pretense, but it’s more often the case the companies just walk a tightrope act of appeasing shareholders, employees and customers alike.
No, the point of the thread is if there is anything in the article that is specific to AI. It is not. The concern about hooking up the output of a program to external systems is a general security concern related to any software: AI or not. The point of qsort's comment was that the article does and the comment by OP does not explain how this concern is specifically about AI.
It is good to see someone else doesn't believe that we should start moving moral goalposts just because society starts sliding into depravity.

What would all these people objecting to this do if they were in a time and place where some real shit was going down? Lynchings, genocides, etc? I guess they'd stand by and be ok with it and rationalize those things.
I think just sleeping the HDDs might get about the same result.

I have a couple systems with i3-7100U CPUs, with 2 sticks of RAM and an NVMe SSD they idle at about 1-2 watts booted up into Proxmox.

HDDs suck down a lot of power relative to that, about 5W each just sitting there spun up.

Unfortunately I haven't figured out a good option for sleeping drives that are part of a ZFS pool in proxmox, there's just too much going on with constant drive activity.
Fascinating! Any notes on the implementation?
What is the best interest of the shareholders though? Is it “now” (this quarter) or is it “the future” (say 5 years’ time).

Or is it a several variables problem in which there is no “optimum”?
Japanese companies only seem to return profits to shareholders when they feel like it... maybe this will change when interest rates aren't zero.
The economic value of a location changes over time, so the land component of the house is not the same. Plus increases in population can dramatically shift supply and demand curves.
It's just the beginning.

Downtowns in most cities haven't recovered anywhere near sustainable levels, but rents are still being paid on many office tower floors. By the end of next year, most of those leases will be done, and nearly everyone is downsizing.
Yup. And even the headline question of this pernicious concept leaves massive ambiguities.

Is the goal to maximize profits this quarter, or shareholder value (share price) this quarter, or over the course of a decade, or a century, or a millennium ?

Merely changing the answer over those four options would entail massive changes in management goals and choices.

The entire pernicious concept merely enables exploitative behavior — exploiting employees, the people in the surrounding community/society, and the environment, externalizing costs on everyone else while internalizing profits.

If we are going to treat corporations as effectively persons, it is far past time to expect them to behave as good citizens.

(and if they do not behave as good citizens, then treat them as bad citizens, i.e., jail or execute them)
The Fiscal Ship, a Game
When I bought my car in 2013 I had the option to go up a trim level for things like an infotainment system and push button start etc. It was not a dramatic cost increase but I chose not to because I prefer a key and I never use the slow outdated GPS cars have anyway. I'm really glad I did. My car has a radio with bluetooth, what else do I need?

My wife's Sienna is a "Limited" trim with every possible feature, and we never use anything other than the memory seats.
I think the wide latitude for judgement thing also has more impact that people realize.

An executive needs to have a reason to believe their actions we’re maximizing, but that’s all they really need.

So, if an executive can article a plausible case that, in their judgment the PR benefit from operating above the environment standards would bring more long term value than the cash expenditure to do so, they’re probably pretty well insulated from a shareholder lawsuit over it. They can obviously be fired by the board/shareholders over such decisions at any time, but they would probably not lose a shareholder brought lawsuit.

You really need to be able to convincingly argue that you genuinely believed the course of action you took was in the interest of the shareholders. As long as that’s true (an email in discovery that says “this isn’t in the interest of the shareholders, but I think it’s important for the planet” would be awful for the executive, but internal communications or reports demonstrating the long term benefits of the strategy would help a lot).
It's also a financial literacy problem. Financing a rapidly depreciating asset like a car is a very poor choice, and maybe younger people are waking up to this. You're basically underwater as soon as you drive a new car off the lot. If you have to have a car, buy a used one for cash.

I've been writing Rust professionally for a few years now and if there's one thing I've learned it's that if you ever write a function that takes a parameter of `impl Fn(&Vec<&'a str>) -> &'a str` you are going to be in for some pain. Just make it `impl Fn(&Vec<&str>) -> String`. It is highly unlikely that the extra allocation is ever going to be noticed in the performance.

Just because Rust pretty much forces you to be explicit about your allocations doesn't mean you have to avoid them at all costs.
Maximize here is not "to find the largest value", but "to increase or make as great as possible". The question formation seems fine to me.

What are "best interests"? That gets back to the heart of the question here.
Absolutely. It's a huge cliff. Old people eventually can't drive, and in car centric places, immediately lose all independence. we're going through it right now in my family. Keep your ears open and you hear it all the time; "grandpa drove into a parked car, not sure if he should still be driving".

I plan to retire (finances willing) in a walkable city, for just that reason.

Same argument at the other end of age spectrum. American children have no independence, only because cities are dangerous because of cars.
> Shareholders don't take profits

This is some Orwellian level doublespeak. For all intents and purposes the only reason to buy shares is to rake in profits. There are some huge levels of misdirection that happens which ultimately lead to workers not getting the profits they produce, and this profits going to shareholders that don’t contribute anything.
I live about a 7 minute drive from the North Leominster commuter rail. I'm about 90 minutes door to door to Boston/Cambridge depending upon where I'm going--which is better than driving at rush hour.

That said, it's only useful for commuting. There are far too few trains after evening rush hour to use it if attending an evening event.
Seeing as how Twitter use has skyrocketed since Musk freed the bird, I'd say that would be a very hard case to prove. Especially considering all the worldview changing revelations that have been allowed to come to light on the platform since.
As I was reading this I thought it was calling for using the K8s API as an abstraction over all types of backend compute vendors. That would actually avoid vendor lock-in. Set up one control plane somewhere and use it to manage your AWS, Azure, GCP, on-prem VMWare etc.

That would mean you need the K8s API for your control plane but not necessarily that you have to run a K8s cluster or clusters as long as the API layer is the same. Maybe the control plane is a managed service too and you just interact with it.

I'm a bit skeptical of these single pane of glass type solutions since the abstractions always end up being somewhat leaky. The abstraction turtle stack is so high at this point you have to know 11 different technologies just to start a process on a Linux box.

But I get the operational appeal of having a central control plane rather than a million control planes all with their own AuthN/AuthZ, logging, custom YAML DSL, APIs, security configurations, integration points etc.
It's a little old at this point, but I find the Swift Error Handling Rationale design doc to be absolutely fascinating. It cites other language’s error handling paradigms (including Rust) if you're curious:

Could you share those 2 YAML files? I feel like it's not hard to do k8s YAML the wrong way and miss out on the auto-rollout, auto-scaling, etc. features
The one per cent are not as clever as they think
Up to wages of about €60,000, cognitive ability did predict income: the cleverer you were, the more you earned. But above €60,000, the relationship broke down. In fact, the top 1 per cent of earners had slightly lower cognitive ability than the men two percentiles below them, despite being paid more than twice as much.
They are slow because you need to restore context from an unknown/unpredictable place in the code, you have a table lookup (from a very cold table) to get the next program counter value, and you have to save and restore register values, while the callstack and the calling convention handle all of that complexity for you if you don't break the natural flow of the program.
I think it largely comes down to perspective, interests, and way of life.

I honestly have trouble imagining a happy life without a vehicle. It enables me to go places I want to go, where there is no public transportation nor would I want there to be.

On top of that, there's the utility of being able to build things like homes and shelter.
>> It's not like a pile either but I think more like a network of associations, a mesh.

That's exactly the point. Their knowledge has some organization and structure, it's not just random pile of information. The author is advocating that we help people to organize information so that it is more useful to them. They even go so far as saying to try understanding how the person models other thing to leverage that. In other words, the closet thing is a metaphor, but also can be a starting point.
Unlike most university press releases, this particular headline makes no claims other than "we have a better understanding of X".
> the corporate good (and by extension shareholders)

The top answer (after the second edit) makes a very good and explicit distinction between the corporation and the shareholders. The shareholders do not, in fact, own the company, they have just entered into a contract with it that grants them certain rights.

This means you can do things that are good for the company that are not necessarily good for the shareholders (and vise versa).
6mo+ is spot on. This is true for most dev work that deviates from the CRUD path. Like gaming, simulation, robotics. We might as well use the time to train them in Rust too.
I shared your curiosity on this exact subject in the past. There is an interesting historiography entitled “The Transition from Feudalism to Capitalism,” originally published in the 1950s, which contains a collections of debates on this subject.

It is no frills and quite scholarly, but that is often the case for hyper focused, niche subjects.

Yes, it is "just" some hallucinated javascript.

The reason I am excited, however, is because from my years of training as a computer scientist with a side interest in philosophy, and after spending many dozens of hours with this new technology, I strongly believe that consciousness is an emergent property of a neural network.

I believe this breakthrough in LLMs will go down in history as a bigger discovery than electricity, and a magnitude bigger than the discovery of the Internet.

This is just the beginning. It is imperative that we research AI safety with utmost urgency.
Why put money in a stock that's not going anywhere

The most obvious one would be "because you believe in the company's mission and want to support that mission." It's just a variation on the reason why people donate to charities, sign up for Kickstarters, buy products from a certain company just to help that company, etc, etc. Not everybody is a profit-maximizing machine in terms of how they live their lives.
A game where the goal is to get the LLM to give up its secrets

> I guess I was thinking more in the sense that people follow parties instead of picking individual issues.

Yeah, we definitely have a problem in this country with limited options. I think a sizeable majority likely want at least one or two other parties in the mix.
I grew up and lived in 3 cities in the US for most of my life. Having a car was a must in all of them. For the last 10 years I have lived in 2 european cities and not needed a car.

I love not owning a car. This is made possible by lots of good public transportation options around me. On the few occasions that I need a car I can easily rent one. I've only rented a car 3 times in the last 10 years, excluding trips to the US (where I always need to rent a car).

But also, modern cars are bananas. Between the flat screens replacing physical controls and the paid subscriptions to enable existing functionality, I want nothing to do with car ownership anymore.
This only briefly links to me/cfs. Does anyone have any studies linking me/cfs and Covid behavior? I don’t understand why we’re treating long Covid differently than me/cfs, which has much of the same symptoms and also often occurs after a viral infection like the flu.
Nope.

Feel free to cite whatever regulatory statute that legally demands profit maximization. Also when you buy a share of Apple you are not a part owner of the company. You are granted rights to board votes and cash flows in the form of dividends and that's pretty much it. Shareholder primacy is a 20th century marketing campaign to make people more comfortable with investing their money--as a shareholder you're entitled to very little and do not have legal rights to demand profitability.
