This doesn't cut it. That tool helps if your role/user has a lot of policies that might interact between each other. But you already need to know the exact "actions" and context.

On the other hand, I have a tool that calls some AWS services that may in turn call other AWS services. Now if something fails because of IAM denial, I have to go through the logs to figure out what it needed, sometimes it's not even in the logs (S3). Then add it to the policy and repeat to see the next failed call.

I imagine being able to call real API calls, make them succeed and record what permissions it needed for each of those API calls. I don't need that as a permanent log, just as a development tool.
While in principle you can evaluate certain path integrals by using MCMC, in practice you run into all kinds of issues like the sign problem, which even with things like complex Langevin dynamics can't be resolved to this day completely.
From the linked-to https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-10-10/stone-cutting-for-kit... "Engineered stone can contain up to 90 per cent silica, much higher than the content in granite or marble."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineered_stone describes it as "a composite material made of crushed stone bound together by an adhesive to create a solid surface, (most commonly polymer resin, with some newer versions using cement mix). This category includes engineered quartz (SiO2), polymer concrete and engineered marble stone." and "99.9% pure silica in grits and powder form constitutes 90–93% of the body by weight dispersed in a matrix of unsaturated polyester resin (7–10%) mixed with peroxide catalyst and cobalt accelerator which facilitates the curing of the thermoset at ambient temperature."

At the bottom it says "As with any silica-containing stone, silicosis can result from breathing dust produced when cutting or processing engineered stone made with quartz", so it would seem the risk is low after the counter top is manufactured.

FWIW, "Marble is a metamorphic rock composed of recrystallized carbonate minerals, most commonly calcite or dolomite", with little silica - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marble

Granite is about 72% silica - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granite .

Kernel Newbies changelog for Linux 6.2 https://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_6.2
I vehemently disagree with dynamically typed being a winning point of Lisp. SBCL's strong support for type checking is the main reason I was drawn from Scheme to CL, and Coalton (https://github.com/coalton-lang/coalton) is one of the most interesting Lisp projects I have encountered.

Type checking can remove an entire class of bugs from even being a consideration. Yes, it could be argued that type mismatches are a trivial class of bug, and yes, proper testing should catch any issues... but catching problems before you go to testing can save you precious seconds, especially when coding in the typical interactive style of Lisp. Lisp lets you code at amazingly high velocity, good support for type checking helps increase that velocity even further.
I'm not really making a comment about his morality, only his skill. If you have an issue with his methods and what they mean morally, I'd suggest you not look too deeply at any of the people who've sat in the Oval Office. Every president since at least Truman, in a more ideal world, would be tried for war crimes for a start. In the real world things are a little more grey though.
About 14 years ago I've read on HN about Epimerox, a new synthetic antibiotic which does not evoke bacterial resistance.

So far we don't have it. And I have no idea why.

Though it looks like just a paper is not enough for optimism. A lot of good developments just don't reach the market.
I definitely resonate with this description. I need a strong foundation of information and intuition to learn and do things. So, I need to dive into the frequently glossed over mechanics of everything I learn.

It's part of why I tend to prefer learning new things alone. I know I'm going to take a long time, and I know I'm going to do a ton of dumb, small, incremental testing to build my foundation.

But I don't think it's necessarily overthinking. Maybe for the immediate context, but not for any context. I know just "doing what I'm told" will likely work 99% of the time. What I'm interested in is why does it work, how do I raise my confidence for the remaining 1%, and making sure I understand the underlying mechanics of things so I can make good judgement calls when situations arise.
The words in them are the thing of real value.

The value of the paper is to a rich person to pay a lot of money publicly at auction (preferably with gasps and applause from the other patrons in the room) and then lock the paper into a himiditiy controlled glass case in their hallway never to be seen by mere mortals.

Americans aren’t cynical. 95% can’t define an economic system outside capitalism or a stance outside liberalism of conservatism.

Americans don’t know anything about America. They love the Founding Fathers and founding of the country. There’s nothing critical to them. Holding the govt or corporations accountable is never done.

Americans can’t talk about great govt program because there’s so few of them. Of the Govt programs they do talk about, the major ones are: Defense, Social Security, Medicare. That covers most of the usefulness of the government. That’s unfortunately capitalism.

I’m first gen POC American, but I don’t like America. Anything Europe or EU is going to be better. Or Canada.
It's cool how stuff like this can be made so trivially now. It has the potential to be quiet useful, even though it is very simple to copy. What you have here is essentially the same as what is in the article, that was created by someone with no programming experience.

2. Pass face to animator API

No, because of language semantics much of that is already in no need for the annotations, other than one needs to go away from the well behaved path.

Significant new funding? To a first approximation new drug development is funded by the US because they don’t have price controls on drugs so there are large profits to be made. To a second approximation by the G7 and EU since they do high impact research. Outside the G20 there’s just not enough resources in terms of GDP to make a meaningful impact.

- Russia is waging an (illegal) war of aggression
-its war aims are almost certainly not limited to annexing Ukraine
- it is therefore sensible for the West to stop Russia in its tracks now, and force Russia to withdraw its troops from all of Ukraine including the Donbas and Crimea so that aggression is seen not to be rewarded
- those who claim to worry about WWIII are largely pro-Putin activists, which is to say they support rape and torture as a means of aggressive warfare and should be held in contempt accordingly
- there is zero evidence that Putin is willing to risk WWIII as it would (obviously) result in his annihilation.
- delaying the supply of tanks, aircraft and long range weaponry simply raises the cost in lives and treasure of removing Russia from Ukraine.
- whatever cost the US has incurred in military supplies it has recouped twenty fold in increased LNG revenues.
I must be missing something. malib does not have solve_cover, and this specific function is used without definition in the Sudoku example. The shown solution seems to be the order in which the digits are solved and not the actual digits in their correct location, because the solution matrix has repeat digits everywhere, and the first 21 digits are the provided solution digits in order.
Nice one!

I am not okay with it, which is why I never bothered to learn Rust.

In my (caveat-filled) analysis of verbosity, Rust is on the wordier side of languages (about as verbose as Java).

https://danuker.go.ro/programming-languages.html#non-math-ma...
That greatly depends on how many memory-safe programs you want to prove are memory safe. If it's the same subset of programs that a language like Rust can prove to be memory-safe, the annotation overload need not be higher. If you want to prove that an arbitrary memory-safe C program is memory-safe, then, indeed, you'll likely need many more annotations. Even in those situations, adding more annotations or restructuring the code may be cheaper than a rewrite in another language. Sound static analysis for C is already not uncommon in some important domains.
You can do it with Hercules, but then you'd be programming on a vintage mainframe (unless you ignore licensing and run zOS on it, and deal with IBM's legal dept).

There were a couple (literally, two) BBSs in Brazil that supported Minitel terminals (and v.23), which were somewhat ubiquitous in São Paulo. Minitel terminals, much like 3270's and 5250's, don't scroll, and all of the UI for those was page-oriented (most of the time, limited to paging, but they had a graphical splash screen when it detected v.23 speed).

One of the key things about democracy is the peaceful transfer of power (between internal elites). Thus policy direction can change, perhaps radically, without the violence of a civil war.

This is particularly important in the face of change (technological, external, resource etc). Probably ancient Egypt survived in that form for so long because everything pretty much stayed the same - relative to our tumultuous modern world anyway.
You're right, I think this was probably a major factor in why he was voted in (I wasn't alive at the time so this would just be a guess from my side). I think the big problem with Carter is that he was what you could call a "peace-time president" in a period where America was basically still very much at war. What America needed was something closer to a Churchill, and they essentially got it in the form of Reagan later.

I think Carter would've been assessed very differently if he'd been president in the 90s or early 2000s.
The article also mentions the book Gladiator, available from standard ebooks

https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/philip-wylie/gladiator

> Gladiator, first published in 1930, tells the story of Hugo Danner, who is given superhuman speed, endurance, strength, and intelligence by his father as an experiment in creating a better human. We follow Hugo throughout his life viewed from his perspective, from childhood, when Hugo first discovers he’s different from others, to adulthood, as Hugo tries to find a positive outlet for his abilities around the time of the first World War.

> Gladiator has been made into a 1938 comedy movie, and is thought to be the inspiration for the Superman comic books—though this has not been confirmed.

Stochastic processes is one thing. But most calculations in QFT is done using various perturbation theories (kind of like Taylor series expansion), instead of by using exact calculation.

That could be interpreted kind of like ray tracing with finite resolution and a finite number of reflections.

EDIT: Feynman diagrams serve as an attractive way to rationalize the various perturbations, but it may be that a "true" theory needs to be able to solve the (for us) unsolvable integrals directly.

Especially since the perturbation theory integrals (that we can solve) diverge, and require renormalization to avoid infinities.

Insulting people rarely does.

Even if the insult is unintended, or is plausibly deniable, if the person ends up being insulted anyway, then it is unlikely to go well.

In totally unrelated news, it might be worth noting that "being right" is not a relevant defence against the charge of "being an asshole". It's entirely possible to be one without being the other.
It is specified by POSIX, but not by ISO C (or C++). So most Unix(-like) systems support it. But the printf in Microsoft's C runtime doesn't. However, Microsoft does define an alternative printf function which does, printf_p, so `#define printf printf_p` will get past that.

I think the real reason you rarely see it, is it is only used with internationalisation–the idea being if you translate the format string, the translator may need to reorder the parameters for a natural translation, given differences in word order in different languages. However, a lot of software isn't internationalised, or if it is, the internationalisation is in end-user facing text, which nowadays usually ends up in a GUI or web UI, so printf has less to do with it. And the kind of lower-level tools/components for which people still often use C are less likely to be internationalised, since they are targeted at a technical audience who are expected to be able to read some level of English.
You can create a pointer with a type but no storage definition.

// foo_t is opaque
typedef struct foo_s foo_t;

// function defined taking an opaque pointer
int Baz(foo_t *f);

// actual definition
typedef struct foo_s
{
int bar;
} foo_t;

// function def
int Baz(foo_t *f)
{
return f->bar;
}

True, but C programs that follow the same structure would require about the same amount of annotation. A language can force you to write programs in a way that makes some properties easy to prove, but if you write them in that way, they can be easy to prove in any language. The difference is that instead of rejecting a different kind of program, the analysis will fail to prove, at which point you can either add more annotation or restructure the code to make it easier to prove.
The TalkingPointMemo really says it all. He's self publishing or going with minor publications because larger publications do fact checking and the stories aren't checking out.

Anyway silicosis has been traditionally the illness of miners and (to a lesser extent) masons.

The (I believe by now worldwide) ban on asbestos derives from that, a surprising number of types of minerals/rocks may contain silicates.

If you prefer, though there are differences, asbestosis and silicosis are similar:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asbestosis

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicosis

The issue is with the particles that someone may inhale, it is not a real problem unless you cut/sand/break the materials and create dust.

In the case of asbestos the problem is more serious as the material itself may degrade over time and the dust is produced without any intervention.

The granite or marble counter top in your kitchen is safe, but the people that mined, cut, ground, sanded and polished it (and hundreds of similar ones) may well have been exposed to this dust.

Marble should be fine, natural granite has a high percentage of silica, in the case of engineered stone the percentage of silicates is higher, so working on engineered stone is more dangerous than natural granite.

Computer science might be really good example. Just how prolific certain people where when digital computers came available. And how many things were "invented". Is this generation of geniuses? Or were the tools available finally and there was real need to come up with something.
I spent the weekend trying to decide if I should bother trying to change a technical decision recently made at work, and this piece was useful because it gave me a new categorization to think through. The phrase from the article that jumped out at me was "eliminate whole swaths of work".

I'm coming in to the project at a point where a couple of dev-months have already gone into learning and spinning up [the unsupported infrastructure we will have to maintain that has nothing to do with our actual app], and I'm confident nobody wants to scrap it all - but that sunk cost is nothing compared to maintaining everything for the next x years. There are zero functional challenges or business costs from using [the existing supported infrastructure from another department], and it would immediately eliminate the six highest items on the project list of risks. And it's not that they thought about this and decided not to: as far as I can tell from specs, design docs, etc., it has simply not occurred to anyone on the project.
PM to me means communicators. They free developers from doing such social work. Developers in most case is the implementers, not communicators.

The issue is, what's the scope of an efficient PM. Should they involve in product development process ? Should they involve in the UX design process ?
The most obvious abuse would be to use it as a simple proxy.
I'm not familiar with the research, but from experience, you can change it without a doubt. Happiness is an outcome, if you change things that prevent it then you'll have better chances of achieving it.

Tons of money alone is not a guarantee of happiness, there's a cutoff of income beyond which happiness maxes out. Getting seriously ill can of course induce depressive traits, however I've just seen a documentary about using psychedelics for cancer patients and it did improve their lives significantly, although not curing cancer itself.

I imagine there's a lot more going on behind the scenes that the author realises. If it's a single product startup a PM will be getting pulled in different directions by sales, marketing, tech, clients and investors. All who have their own agenda, all of whom may want different things.

It only sounds like PMs have all the power because they put the tasks in the order that you work on them in, after haggling with all the other stakeholders.

I'd guess that the PM in the story trying to get some evidence to backup a decision/convince someone of something.
Conceptually this reminds me a bit of a ring buffer, which also deals with the issue of having to manage a fixed size memory allocation.
