Since Science is published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science, it feels reasonable to presume US law on this front.

I will say, I have a strong preference for US libel law, and aversion to UK libel law, but that’s probably mostly my cultural upbringing and familiarity speaking.
A lot of DSLs are quite successful, but they need to be worth it and require a lot of effort into making them more usable than a simple library for general purpose language, or even just a simple JSON configuration file. A lot of DSLs just aren't worth it.
my solution is a combination of all of these things:

- I have three yubikeys — one at home, one on keychain, and one backup

- I have three accounts that are secured by these yubikeys: my email, my password manager, and my Apple ID. these are the core accounts that are Game Over if access is compromised or removed to/from all three.

- for these three accounts I have recovery codes printed

- the recovery codes and the backup yubikey are stored in a safe deposit box at my bank

- for literally everything else I use my password manager (1Password) with its built in 2FA

the idea is, anything other than those three accounts getting compromised is not a risk since they all have unique email address (Fastmail masked emails) and passwords. software 2FA is Good Enough since it is backed by hardware 2FA for my password manager. and if I lose access to one of those three core accounts, I should be able to finagle my way back in.

since I'm not adding hardware 2FA to new accounts, I don't need readily available access to all yubikeys at once.

as soon as passkeys are pervasive I will generate and store them from 1Password.

this lets me have relative convenience in a majority of scenarios with focus on reducing risk of being totally fucked out of everything. it's obviously too much for a normal person, but for a professional in tech, I find it appropriate for my threat model/risk tolerance
I attended a Google "coding day" event years ago in Boulder, CO, while in college. It wasn't "Code Jam," but I can't remember the name for the life of me. It was a sort of lab-format hackathon where I was placed on a team and we had to build something (after being given some vague prompt). Google employees would roam around and answer questions, give direction, etc,; and prizes were given at the end. I believe the year I attended was the last before this particular event was cancelled. I can't really argue for it to continue, I don't feel like I got much out of it besides a day off-campus and a free lunch; but it was kind of fun.
Sure but how many of those were ~guaranteed to only abort the pregnancy and not also kill or maim the woman?

I know there's lots of things you can do to cause an abortion throughout history, but as far as I know they mostly did it by poisoning the mother enough that she miscarried.
You are leaving out an important aspect: context switches are expensive, especially with all the mitigations introduced after Spectre et al.

Doing more work in a single thread saves a lot of context switches, especially if IO makes up a large portion of the workload. And even more so with other mechanisms to minimize syscalls, like io_uring on Linux.

Async overhead is highly dependent on the way the async runtime is implemented.

It's true that async requires scheduling and task switching to be implemented in userspace, but assuming that async is used as an alternative to threads, then the OS would be doing a similar amount of work anyway.

The OS may be able to do that more efficiently because it has more information about the system. Or it may be the opposite, because the application has more information about the workloads.

"async = overhead" as a general statement is not correct.

Last year (pre the chatGPT bonanza) I was using GPT-3 to generate some content about attribution bias and the responses got much spicier once the prompt started including the typical HN poster lingo, like "10x developer":

https://sonnet.io/posts/emotive-conjugation/#:~:text=I%27m%2...

My conclusion was that you can use LLMs to automate and scale attribution bias.

IaSQL's approach to managing cloud infrastructure as data provides the following when compared to IaC tools:

- No need to manage or modify JSON state files

- Provides a familiar interface for working with infrastructure resources so you don’t need to learn new syntax if you know SQL

- No need to reconcile or recreate existing resources. IaSQL automatically imports all your existing infrastructure into PostgreSQL as it facilitates a two-way connection between your AWS account and a vanilla PostgreSQL database.

- Treat complex or delicate infrastructure changes as transactions such that your AWS account is not left in a bad state if something goes wrong since there is a rollback functionality when that happens

- Better input validation. Typos are often caught by type safety and fk constraints instead of at `apply` with IaC tools

- Easier to inspect and make sense of large infra deployments. This is an example use case of how users save money on their AWS bill by removing unused ECR images https://iasql.com/blog/ecr-save/

How to create a Venn diagram with JavaScript
Fwiw, bus factor seems like an extremely good reason to use Kubernetes.

One can absolutely invite in a lot of complexity, but if you take a reasonably well integrated starting point/KISS (and you absolutely can with Kube), there shouldnt be a ton of additional complexity.

And given how self-describing via manifests-for-everything kubernetes is, someone spinning up who already is sort of familiar with Kubernetes ought be able to get a good picture of what pieces are in play & the shape of how things are setup extremely quickly. Unlike choice-making in most devops, there's still huge commonalities & massive shared base. If you & another startup make totally different choices about how you will Kube, the superstructure will still be the same. Porting people in is way easier.
The stimulus checks were only a fraction of the monetary stimulus. The PPP loans and DPA mandates along with subsidies on care and prevention (e.g. vaccines) also constitute expansionary monetary policy.

>I mean, look at Peleton, did they really think everyone would be locked in their houses for all eternity?

No. But there was probably a reasonable bet that a lot of people (at least those in comfortable houses) would decide that doing the virtual exercise thing at home really did beat going out to the gym.

One of the things we're seeing right now is that with some exceptions (there's generally more flexibility about going into the office every day than there used to be) the "new normal" looks a lot more like the "old normal" than a lot of people thought it would.
Quite sad to see. It seems like they're still doing Summer of Code and CTF events, at least?
Agreed. And the whole thing really reminds me of Ted Chiang's short story The Lifecycle of Software Objects, but the real life version is much stranger than fiction. Similar ideas though.
Rights come with responsibility. If you can fend for yourself then you can probably do as you please even as a child. However if you need someone to feed you and protect you then surely you concede some rights.

It works both ways: you can't claim that a fetus is not a person and then argue that it is being illegally detained.

Both arguments are the same, why do you only see one as ridiculous?
I find this a quite terrible explanation of a fairly simple concept, but perhaps I haven't had enough coffee. Here's an alternative try:

First, for the computer scientists out there, this is the Coupon Collector's problem - so you probably know already it's Θ(N log N). That doesn't give us a precise answer but it should guide our intuition - it should take somewhere like 4 * log(4) ~= 8 draws to get what we want. [1]

Being exact:

When you have already have 3 of the 4 toys, what's the chance you get the 4th? It's 1 in 4. The expected number of draws to get an item with P=1/4 is 4.

Generalizing, the expected number of tries to get an item with probability p is 1/p. When you have 2 toys, you have a 1/2 probability of getting one of the two you haven't seen already, etc. When you have no toys, you always get something you don't have.

So the only slightly tricky case is when you have 1 toy, where you have a 3 in 4 chance of getting something new. 1/(3/4) = 1 1/3.

So the answer is very simply 4 + 2 + 1 1/3 + 1 = 8.3333.

[1] The actual bounds use ln, not log2, but from a "getting intuition" perspective log2 gets us into the right range.
Data Science has a tooling problem
What I like about Go is that each co-routine is entirely synchronous, and the only concurrency primitives you're given are channels and mutexes. This makes your code so simple and easy to understand.

I just looked up Kotlin's co-routines, and there are a number of annoying hoops you need to jump through:

1. Co-routines can only be built by calling runBlocking or coroutineScope.

2. Functions that are async buy should act like blocking calls in a co-routine need to be marked with `suspend`

3. There are a bunch of primitives you need to use like `launch` or `async`.

4. There are built-in options to make the co-routines lazy, but it makes the API feel sloppy.

5. Rather than locks, Kotlin encourages explicit thread dispatching. Some times you need to do this in Go too, like when using a C library, but in general it's rare.
> You are offending not only me and people I care for

This is really a poor justification for suppressing speech. There will always be someone who is offended.
The arbiters know which side of the bread is buttered. An arbiter who rules for the consumer too much finds himself out of work. You better have an ironclad case if you're going the arbitration route.

There's also the ban on class actions--effectively meaning small things become legal because very few will fight when the cost of fighting is more than the expected recovery. (In some places the government is guilty of that, also--the cost to contest a ticket may be higher than the cost of the ticket and not recoverable even if you win.)

Which Google are you referring to exactly? With its many successful products, I don’t see Google being overtaken anytime soon.

Ads are doing better than ever, Android is holding steady worldwide, Maps has a huge moat that Apple has yet to overcome (in over a decade), nobody really complains about Google Search except us nerds.

I see them just coasting, but an overtake is unlikely in this decade.

“The New Bing” sounds interesting but that’s not all that Google is about, it’s not 2002 anymore.

Thank you Sundar for getting rid of the frivolous, Silicon-Valley-esque things like coding competitions for kids, extricating all of the humanity and decency that made Google so inefficient with money, and for doubling down on your focus to turn Google into the next iteration of Cisco, Oracle and IBM. It's exactly what this world needs, so you are the perfect leader for this.
That sounds like a good idea. I wonder what percentage of companies are offering substantial referral bonuses?
"Replika is a tool for many people who use it to [b]support their mental health,[/b] and many people value it as an outlet for romantic intimacy. The private, judgment-free conversations are a way for many users to experiment with connection, and overcome depression, anxiety, and PTSD that affect them outside of the app."

Is this serious? I mean, it seems like this would worsen someone's mental health if anything. Being so alienated from others that they're having an intimate relationship with a computer program seems like a very worrying issue and they should talk to a therapist or something.

This. Social media, ‘chat’ and similar programs go bad the way cheese does because once they get a two-sided monopoly they stagnate. Thus you have to squint to tell Facebook Messenger from AOL Messenger or MSN Messenger.

If there was competition for clients and servers you’d see bugs get fixed and a long-term trajectory for improvements.

I want to hear that your platform is financially sustainable whether or not there are ads. If there is one reason Twitter failed it is because it never found a profitable model for serving customers and had the most value to one individual who thought he could ‘own the libs’ and win every flame war if he owned the platform.
This essay becomes more fun -- and more useful -- if we apply OP's standards to other areas of trust and risk. For example:

- Are there no absolute red flags in online dating? (Some ex-convicts with teardrop tattoos may be fully reformed.)

- Are there no absolute red flags in getting into a taxi (Some angry drivers with alcohol on their breath may be capable of getting to the destination.)

In such situations, the thought experiment fails. Wrong decisions can be catastrophic or fatal. Past a certain point, we don't roll the dice, even if good outcomes are possible, too. And we cringe when others knowingly take those risks.

OP's argument probably works best for Y Combinator, where the financial risk per deal is small and fully bounded. (The portfolio is vast; there's no implicit commitment to fund any deal beyond $500k, and everything is so early stage that the worst investments will likely fail quietly. They won't become the reputation-ruining messes of expose journalism, indictments, etc. that will impair your ability to stay in the venture business.)

For larger VC firms, particularly ones that get most of their capital from scandal-wary limited partners at universities or state retirement orgs, it's a different story. Extreme investment outcomes (good or bad) define your reputation in ways that can last for many years. Even a single deal's red-flag implosion can hurt your credibility far longer than you'd like.

So, bravo to OP for working at a firm where periodic red flags can be safely ignored. Do be careful in your choice of taxi drivers or online dates.
Ah you're right, I was thinking of cap and trade as the market solution, but they won't do that either for the same climate change denial reasons.
It's not so black and white. It's both. Local governments are the gatekeepers but they allow outside interests with sufficient power to rewrite their zoning laws.

A local twp near me as expressed in their meeting minutes let's outside interests redline and rewrite their zoning laws, given enough capital and sway. It's very specific to the municipality, the mechanisms and processes they have in law to change the current ones, and the local base it is comprised of.
I can understand they want it. What I can't stand is their doublespeak and complete inability to openly address the issue. "Yes, we understand you prefer remote work but we prefer to have an eye on you and control you more" is a fair statement. "We know you all want to come back" just makes me furious.
That's even worse than my experience https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34523227

I'm pretty skeptical of these hiring challenges at this point. It seems that they often require more time than the traditional model and provide worse outcomes for the candidates. For me it was particularly frustrating because I can typically write off the traditional model as irrational but I was drawn to fly.io because they make it seem so much better than that.
Forget Moderna, how about the very businesses that people posting on this forum benefit from?

Their lifestyle being made possibly by the 20%+ consistent profit margins from businesses that have relatively little risk from natural world events, from the safety of working behind a keyboard.

Not that software and hardware businesses do not have risks and are earning disproportionate profit margins, but the idea that businesses with risks such as viruses killing their whole supply or multi billion dollar oil rigs sinking could not also require sufficiently profit margins to attract investment.

> I find it really odd that california had a lot of oil refineries for gas vs mid-country-states, so proximity to gas (thus delivery) was cheaper - yet has the highest prices... because we have 45 million people in the state to grift off, so its not logistics that cause price hikes. But thats what they want you to believe.

California has a specific gasoline formulation that is different than every other state. That’s why gas costs more in CA, in addition to the state gasoline taxes.

Google has been "just another company" for a while now, but I disagree with "prone to be overtaken". Yes, Google Search is a dead product. The moneymakers aren't, though: AdSense keeps on trucking, fuelled by billions of annual YouTube watch-minutes piling on top of each other.

For a company to effectively displace Google, they need a lot of really well-made services priced more attractively than 'free*'.

When generalizations like this are made it normally implies a plurality of people - not everyone of course. Each individual will be different, but on the whole when you analyze a large group, a pattern will emerge.

Large scale analyses of Tinder or OkCupid or any other dataset of female-male interactions will tend to show these patterns.

>Boost phase lasers need to be close to target

Sure, but that doesn't mean that they don't exist. Im just saying technology was proven to work, and could exist in some form and way even if its not the primary defense method. There is a possibility of Aurora existing (i.e the current gen SR71) that can catch up to a missile and hit it with a laser.

>That much tungsten weighs 34 tons.

Yes, but a smaller 5 ton one can still do a shitload of damage to the target. And flight paths of a VERY streamlined object reentering atmosphere hypersonically are pretty predictable, you don't need fancy guidance (keep in mind there is technology to do guidance on a bullet fired out of a gun that exists today) . A smaller one would not look like a nuke at all, it would just be a localized explosion, with a delivery method that is hard to detect/intercept.

>They don't use GPS, they are inertially guided.

I may be wrong but I think the first stage prior to deployment still uses GPS to set the trajectory accurately, after separation of first stage its all inertial guidance.

>Warheads are designed to have nuclear explosion go off next to them,

Warheads yes, delivery vehicles no.
I go to Whole Foods all the time, and yes their own brand of eggs really is that price.
