What is the point of the fourth amendment if it can be ignored via qualified immunity? Are there any situations where it could still apply?

Have medical doctors already solved this through insurance? Not a fantastic solution, and it increases costs, but it does provide due process for people making claims, and allows a court to decide whether a doctor did something wrong.

I wonder if it's more about the usage then the tool. Group chats that are used primarily for communication with a social group seems like it could be healthier. But using it as a feed of content from internet celebrities the opposite. Social media platforms are all trending towards being a constant feed.

I think the choice to have children without ample time for child-care is a failure, but i'm not wholly convinced that it's the market that drove it completely -- more like it's driven by a poor decision making process by the parents.

Historically day-care has been a service used by very poor single parents so that they can maintain a work schedule, or the affluent that want some free time away from the kids. With that said, I can totally understand why there isn't a very good way to balance that market that's split between the 'well-off' and the desperate.

My point is, which unfortunately isn't a popular one, that the parents are ultimately at fault for creating a financial burden that they have difficulty (in this economy, at this time) coping with. There is no stork-drop, it's their fault -- and this expectation for affordable childcare , which I hope becomes a thing sooner rather than later for the sake of the kids , is born from an inability to cope with poor planning and impulse control, and comes off as entitlement after thousands of years of parents' raising kids without a third party involvement.

I think fewer and fewer people view the raising of children as a privilege, and it's shifting into a given.

That's a problem.

P.S. yes, I know third-party child-care isn't new, but the drive to provide it for every mother is.

I tried to start one, with the concept being that it would be free and run by participants. It was almost completely ignored. I think people just didn't see many posts on it and decided it wasn't popular or something.

I think part of the issue was just that the website didn't look cool enough. It looked fine to me but I think that people judge things in a very shallow way.
accused murderers. Until they've been found guilty, they have right to liberty. The only exceptions are when they are deemed likely to abscond, interfere with the investigation, or commit another violent offense. The bar to decide this is VERY high and requires a judge to sign off on it (and so it's rare for it to happen). Also, judges are not elected, so you don't get judges with axes to grind or constituents to keep happy.

I realize that it's different in America, where the accusation is enough by itself (you even publish their names, which is just insane considering the ensuing destruction of their reputations).
What if the first words associated with policing were "serving the community" or "supporting neighbors" rather than "fighting crime"? What if lower crime came as a second order effect from having professionally helpful people around and available?

What if recruitment focused on hiring warm, generous, and communicative people who can relate to troubled people and deescalate complex situations -- competing for candidates from nursing and education programs -- instead of on mimicking military structures and courting highly volatile aggro meatheads?

Would these discussions still immediately turn to how "eggs have to be cracked" to defeat the baddies? Or would the discussions instead be about process failures that might be remedied through analysis and reflection?

> so obviously wrong that the terabytes of existing POSIX-compatible code is broken, or limited, or something?

it is just a really annoying API for a byte stream when what you typical want to do with a byte stream is:

* read some number of bytes (lines, a parser, etc), incrementing the ring tail as you go.
* have the buffer asynchronously be filled, incrementing the (volatile) head as it goes

You might be able to just execute a single syscall "fill till eof" and the kernel would just keep your buffer full (through interrupts) without any other calls at all (although you would have to wait if the buffer became empty

Similar mechanisms could be done for interprocess communication.

Annealing is such a useful technique. One of my favorite projects from engineering school was in a fourth year VLSI course. The task was to lay out and characterize a simple component using standard cells. Most people chose something pretty small like an AND gate that they could lay out by hand. My partner and I chose to build a relatively monstrous CRC-32, because why not?

To generate the layout, I wrote a C++ program that laid out all the standard cells in a random order in one big line, connecting the cells with wires as required to implement the CRC-32 logic. The program used reduced the total wire length by gradually moving cells closer together if they were connected to each other, resulting in a layout with a shorter overall wire length.

In VLSI designs, long wires produce high capacitance, delaying signal propagation and causing interference. So you want to keep related things close together.

The simple annealing approach worked so incredibly well. We ended up with a weird looking structure [1] that implemented the CRC-32 algorithm to perfection with reasonable capacitance.

The professor was puzzled by our design. He thought we laid it out by hand and gave us a poor mark initially, if I recall correctly. This was in the 90s, so we only had stone tools to work with.

What is "that specific machine"? There can be an arbitrary number of generative AI's like that trained on similar data that would behave similarly. Or it could be a different one that the author would need different prompts for to get the result. What difference does it make?

Conversely, without a prompt and subsequent guiding, the machine can only generate a random image or an average image or some noise. What creativity is in that? None, because that's an actual mechanical reproduction of the input dataset. The quantum of creativity lies with the author who supplied the remaining information to narrow "all possible images distributed statistically" to "one image".

Eh, the risk is really overblown in my opinion.

Hydroplaning/sliding is a real risk, but you can mitigate that by simply understanding how your vehicle behaves and paying attention. Sudden, unexpected change in engine RPM, you should probably cancel cruise control. Weird torquing on the steering wheel, disengage cruise and steer by hand.
I found this[1] explainer of what qualified immunity protects and doesn’t protect.

They can rule narrowly when they want to. This guy has been to SCOTUS twice over what others may consider to be minor matters. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fane_Lozman

And in the second case (involving retaliatory arrest): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lozman_v._City_of_Riviera_Beac...

> At oral arguments, justices expressed both sympathy for Lozman and hesitance to issue a ruling that might hinder law enforcement. Their eventual ruling in Lozman's favor was very narrow, holding that the Mt. Healthy test was appropriate "on facts like these",[1] based on the alleged "official municipal policy"[2] of retaliation and the importance of the right to petition.

If the guy in the case at hand had spent $875 thousand in suing the Ohio police I wonder if they would have taken up the case. Or perhaps you're right and the court is just loath to pick up any case touching qualified immunity. If anything I'd guess that they just don't have much sympathy for satire against law enforcement (especially when it's not immediately obvious that it's satire).
Fair enough, I stand corrected.

Thank you for bringing something, even if quora.

I was thinking about this too, and I'm not sure I agree. Last year I replaced the last of the incandescent lighting in my house with LED. Most of the LED blubs I've bought are 2700K, but it sounds like from what your blog post says, they may still have too much blue light in them?

The savings on my utility bill were immediate and more significant than I expected, and the bulbs themselves were not cheap. So I'm a bit hesitant to switch back.

I've already taken melatonin supplements on and off for years with positive results: I've had sleep issues since I was a kid, definitely before I was in front of LED-lit screens all the time, and well before home LED lighting was a thing.

I may be suffering from some sort of sunk-cost fallacy, but especially given that I've always had (probably non-light-related) sleep issues, it feels "simpler" to just leave my lighting as is, and take some melatonin a few hours before bed. Obviously I'd prefer LED lighting that has better spectrum emissions, but as you note elsewhere, that product would be significantly more expensive. I do agree with you that it seems perverse to break ourselves with our technology and rely on supplements to fix it, but I think wholesale going back to incandescent lighting just isn't going to fly from an energy policy perspective. And I don't think burning fossil fuels in our home (kerosene lanterns) is a great idea; that's just trading one health problem for another.

I think at this point our realistic choices are: a) finding a way to make efficient, cheap "white" LEDs that don't blast out blue light, or b) some new yet-to-be-invented technology that has similar power consumption as LEDs, but healthier emission spectra. I just don't see incandescent lighting (or kerosene lanterns) as serious, realistic contenders for the future.

Edit: it seems OLED is actually quite a bit better when it comes to blue light emissions? (https://www.oledworks.com/news/blog/the-hazards-of-blue-ligh...) I wonder what is holding OLED back from consumer lighting. Perhaps cost?
The collective unconscious is defined as the shared mental concepts, or archetypes, of humanity/the noosphere. I'd say this perspective is less a theory and more a rephrasing.

You can't swap in a lack of evidence as "evidence of zero."

I think you can count to 5. The problem isn’t ideological, it’s pragmatic. The signal to noise ratio in lawsuits against the police is extremely low. You’d be opening the floodgates to frivolous litigation. Just look at the shit that gets filed against judges—and they have absolute immunity. Gorsuch and especially Thomas are the most likely of anyone on the Court to not care about the practical ramifications.

I think it’s actually a better court for challenging QI than it’s been in decades. Replacing Breyer with KBJ and Scalia with Gorsuch moved things closer. Thomas has also come into his own. Kennedy to Kavanaugh was probably a wash. RGB to ACB maybe a small step back.

I suspect that (some types of) plastics are going to be a big contributer to some of these problems. They contain a number of endocrine disrupting chemicals, and we're typing on them, mousing with them, steering our cars with them, walking on them (most carpet is plastic these days), wearing them, eating off them, drinking from them, washing outselves with them ...

But yeah, the time-lag is a real problem, and coupled with lack of regulation with these technologies and novel compounds that are often introduced into our lives with little or no testing. Very much a "better to seek forgiveness than seek permission" scenario, except in an irresponsible and reckless way that's focused on profit, not safety.
I'm probably an outlier. But I never made career progression a consideration. Instead I focused on different application domains and then applied my ever expanding IT skills to those domains. I accomplished lots of completed projects as a contractor. Over the years I became very knowledgeable about insurance, superannuation, industrial control, fault-tolerant transaction processing, databases (DB2, Oralce), telecoms and network engineering.

I don't recommend grad school for career advancement purposes (I got a PhD in SE after 20+ years in industry). IMO grad school is only valuable if you have an interest that you want to deep dive into and don't mind the cost. Academic jobs are hard to come by and you run the risk of being seen as over-qualified after you complete, assuming you do complete - many drop out.

I believe that purpose is outside of work. i.e. work to live, not live to work.

People who want to study physics want to understand such theories, so would be heavily incentivised by the market.

The reason it isn't taught this way is because it's generally not seen as an efficient route, and you can understand such theories by studying them directly and in a logical progression.

I got 71.13647% on a first pass. So we want P(all 4 in 9) = 1 - P(not all 4), and we can split that out a few ways. To not get all four, we can restrict ourselves to three, so that's (3/4)^9, but there are four ways of doing that, so that's 4 * (3/4)^9. But that counts using singles and pairs too many times. Specifically each version of "three" can be exactly three balls, three ways of one ball, or three ways of exactly two balls ("1 or 2 or 3" = "1&2&3" or "just 1" or "just 2" or "just 3" or "1&2" or "1&3" or "2&3").

- We can then subtract 6 * P(two balls), so 6 * (2/4)^9. Now this counts singles a few times too, in fact it cancels all of them out.

- We then need to add back four singles, so 4 * (1/4)^9

Putting this together gives:

1 - (4 * (3/4)^9 - 6 * (2/4)^9 + 4 (1/4)^9) = 0.7113647
