> Suspicionless stopping of cars en masse followed by interrogation by police seems like an overreach.

I’m pretty sure Canadian DUI checkpoints are limited to interrogations about alcohol/drug intoxication (edit: and a few matters regarding the vehicle itself) unless something else is offered/observed.

Supreme Court basically agreed that they are warrantless and detainments without reasonable suspicion, but considered them acceptable for the purposes of preventing drunk driving so that’s all the carve out it for. See R vs Mellenthin here: https://torontodui.com/knowledge-centre/everything-you-need-...

(Worth noting that Canada’s constitution is basically toilet paper for a lot of things because a judge (or politician!) can override a lot of it)

Wait, isn't Intel vertically integrated exactly like Apple? They own design and foundry. TSMC is mostly foundry. AMD is mostly design.

Right now, vertical integration is a weakness for Intel -- just as it was for Apple during the Jobs interregnum and the beginning of his return. (e.g. the pre-Apple-on-Intel silicon years.)

But the situation could quickly change and vertical integration could become an advantage again for Intel.

Especially in a "challenging" geopolitical environment.

I think low-code and really SaaS itself has made "Shadow IT" here to stay. Gone are the days of centralized IT. The sprawl and integration of disparate computing systems is the new normal.

But many of the engineers we talk with want to provide a self-serve environment for tooling, because it takes a lot of work off their plate that they can redirect to creating products and infrastructure. Data teams provide self-serve sandboxes to their teammates for analytics. We think engineers will come to see the importance of providing tooling sandboxes as well.
This is a really cool feature, thanks very much for adding it. I'd love to see this in more languages. I'd love to use it in my Rust integration tests.
I'll take a stab at this.

YARV (Ruby's VM) is already direct threaded (using computed gotos), so there's no dispatch loop to eliminate. YARV is a stack based virtual machine, and the machine code that YJIT generates writes temporary values to the VM stack. In other words, it always spills temporaries to memory. We're actively working on keeping things in registers rather than spilling.

Ruby programs tend to be extremely polymorphic. It's not uncommon to see call sites with hundreds of different classes (and now that we've implemented object shapes, hundreds of object shapes). YJIT is not currently splitting or inlining, so we unfortunately encounter megamorphic sites more frequently than we'd like.

I'm sure there's more stuff but I hope this helps!
> And does what an LLM does differ from what humans might do?

I'll bite. I've been quite convinced by the Popperian model of "conjecture and refutation" as as good model for explaining not just scientific inquiry, but human thought processes in general. David Deutsch's "The Beginning of Infinity" is a very lengthy exposition of this idea.

When I am writing, I have an idea in my mind that I would like to communicate. I type it out, and if the words on the page don't convey what I intended, I edit them. I delete a sentence or change a word, until I believe I have a sequence of words which will convey my intended meaning to my expected audience.

The words, as they come, are a kind of "conjecture" about what will best convey my intention. I can "refute" or "criticise" (as Deutsch puts it) the conjecture using my own reasoning, even before testing the words on another person.

As far as I understand LLMs (which admittedly not far), there is no such process going on. There is no intention which it is attempting to communicate via words. There is no creative conjecture about how to express the intention, and no criticism of the result.
SEO has always been a war. Spammers automate spam. Google comes up with ingenious ways to combat it. Spammers adapt.

I keep hearing that Google search is nothing but SEO optimized, affiliate link riddled content nowadays. I don’t disagree. I see it too.

But what makes you think that the affiliate like riddled article is worse then what you would otherwise find if you’re searching for “best office chair” on Google?

Google got so good at combating traditional SEO spam, that the only way to “cheat” google is to actually write valuable content and insert your affiliate links into it. This is what we see now I think. The spam SEO sites actually provide more value than random forum conversations.
The history of useless code-automation tools is long. Back in the day, it was generating boilerplate API code for Windows etc. Write an app in a day!

But the lie was, in an app development schedule of 2000 hours, the tool made the 6-hour window definition effort into a 1-hour effort.

So what? It was good for demo-ware showing what an app might look like. But pointless for real work. Popular among the vaporware crowd, marketing and pitching etc. But not for software engineers.

Many places are already advertising for 14-15 year olds and offering them less than the usual minimum wage for sub-20 year olds (because legally they can do that) and since families need money some of them are taking them up on it.

https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/fact-sheets/32-minimum-wage...

I feel it's a terrible practice and exploiting a legal loophole.

Also, specifically for meat packing plants, it is explicitly illegal for under 18-year-olds to operate the machinery:

However, they can clean the machinery and thanks to the protections this bill is offering if the random child gets ground into hamburger the plant won't have to pay the family much of anything.

This is the same take.

Visibility = Number of people impacted * level of impact

Getting a high level of impact is hard. A company word list stacks the other side of the equation. That visibility gives people a feeling of impact and something to point out, to convince themselves they're doing good in the world, while at the same time they're funding the politician that is gerrymandering to reduce the voting impact of black people, for example.

There is no presumption of innocence because it is not a person being charged with a crime. It is a corporation. More than that, it is a corporation that cannot be audited because it lives in a state hostile to US interests.

I'm sort of the "I'd rather not know" camp. I've lived in my house for 8 years now. I'm sure in that time the area has been prowled. Somebody has probably walked into my fenced backyard to see if I left a window open in the summer, or tried my front door to see if it's unlocked, or scoped out my cars for catalytic converters. But, I've never had a crime issue. Not a single package stolen, ever. Why work myself into a tizzy about everything that "seems strange"?

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure if something did happen, I'd wish I had footage. And maybe I'd go out and buy cameras. But then, I've watched my brother-in-law's Ring footage of his catalytic converter being stolen from his Prius. On 3 separate occasions. Gotten angry, thought about what I'd do if I happened upon these scumbags. And yet, that's all the footage does; makes you angrier.
A while back I wanted to run OS/2 on real hardware -- I bought an old HP omnibook 800; the batteries were all shot but otherwise it worked fine (the laptop; OS/2 was kind of a pain to setup). That's not the 70s but it's old. Lots of that vintage computer would work fine if it weren't for those pesky capacitors -- the same's true of lots of older vintage electronics.

I recently bought an old keyboard (an old IBM M4-1, a PS2 keyboard / trackpoint combination thing) -- it's from 1994 and needed a couple adapters, but connected to my macbook pro just fine, and worked pretty well.

OS2 won't know modern TLS and the keyboard doesn't have the command / meta / windows / open clover shift keys, they do fine.

My old HP calculator from high school didn't work when I tried it out...

Technologies: I have worked across the web technology stack - applications and other systems I've built and deployed have leveraged load balancers, reverse proxies, HTTP webservers, custom TCP/UDP servers, my own custom application servers, caching and persistence systems like RDBMS or NoSQL databases, as well as commonly used caches and message bus/queueing systems like Redis, Hazelcast, Kafka, RabbitMQ. My last few professional experiences have leveraged a classic PostgreSQL/Redis/Rails tech stack, but I have also used other languages extensively. I enjoy Python for most data related work and for building and deploying web services, but also have used Elixir and Erlang, having written a pricer in Elixir which called down to C. Recently I have been learning Rust and deployed a crate called `nasdaq`. I enjoy solving problems, deeply thinking about the right architecture for whatever system or component is required, coming up with the design and then implementing the code and eventually using that service/endpoint to solve a large problem, if applicable.

I have deployed systems as monoliths as well as microservices in a number of tech stacks. Here is a summary:

Programming languages: Python, Ruby, Elixir, Rust

Web frameworks: Flask, FastAPI, Django, Ruby on Rails, Phoenix

Frontend: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, LiveView, Hotwire, React

Persistence/caching: PostgreSQL, Redis

3rd party libraries/systems: Apache Airflow, Elasticsearch, Docker, Kubernetes, LATEX, pandas, numpy, Torch, TensorFlow

Other: BEAM (Erlang/OTP), EVM (Solidity), Slang/SecDb.

Not many features of note - it runs arbitrary lisp code, has a simple graphics interface. You can save and load code and data/text files to SD card.

The processor is the Ambiq Apollo3 Blue, which is really what makes running arbitrary code with such low power consumption possible. 48/96MHz, 384k of RAM. https://ambiq.com/apollo3-blue/

There's an Apollo4 which is faster and has way more memory, but it's a tiny BGA chip which doesn't have an Arduino core and I don't have the skills to work with that (yet ...)

I hope to create a PCB for it at least, it would make the device tiny and sleek and make it a lot easier for others to reproduce. But I haven't been able to learn PCB design yet.
It's just that "You can build a UI without useEffect."

I think there are so, so many excuses for violence. If someone burst through my door looking to rob and victimize my family I would work pretty hard to do violence to them, and I think that's excusable. One doesn't have to think too hard to come up with other examples.

My theory here is that the people who would try and commit that crime against me are doing it for systemic reasons. Sure there are psychopaths or whatever, but broadly people are products of systems. We know this because people behave differently in different systems--if they didn't matter, we'd see similar aggregate behavior in all societies: crime rates, poverty rates, drug use, education rates, etc. Or to be more concrete: the US has more mass shootings than the EU because of its gun policies and culture, not because more people are randomly choosing to perpetrate mass shootings.

Intel never shipped any 7nm, they stayed on their 10nm which is as you can see far behind the 5nm TSMC node that Apple used. So Apple benefiting from a far superior process is real.
From my skimming, the article doesn't explain why the police knew to ask for the footage.

Did he volunteer it to them initially, or to someone else? Is he part of a ring neighborhood thing? (They have a function to offer to share footage with your neighbors). Or did the police simply throw out the dragnet and look to see if Ring had any customers in the area? I suspect it's one of the first two options.

In such a case, you're better off not offering your information to begin with (unfortunately), and you'd likely be okay with a Ring as long as you didn't advertise its existence online. You'd be better off still with a non-cloud solution that, while subject to subpoena-or-something, flies under the radar even more.
I can't honestly say that I know what to do about this, but there have been various police departments placed on "probation" be the US Justice Department via consent decree. The L.A. Police Department is currently under one [0].

According to my half-assed googling: "Consent decrees are intended to promote police integrity within the Department and prevent conduct that deprives individuals of their rights, privileges, or immunities protected by the Constitution of the United States." Probably the best way to start addressing Sheriff's gangs is to start complaining to the L.A. District Attorney [1], the CA Attorney General [2] and the US Justice Department [3].

My point was not that authors like Stuart Diamond exist, but that a garbage book like his made it to the top of any bestseller list, let alone the NYT list, or was widely praised as some treatise on "negotiation", which it clearly wasn't, yet very few reviewers described it for what it actually was. Plus, the outright weird insinuation ("branding!") that this sort of stuff is elite MBA-school wisdom; it isn't, it's normalizing bad behavior, doesn't matter how many letters you have after your name.

Even old-school stuff like "How to Make Friends and Influence People" clearly implies that your behavior in interactions is not some consequence-free zone, the people/organizations on the receiving end of your influencing attempts have memories, and there are social limits on what behavior is too aggressive, greedy, pushy, unreasonable, manipulative.

As well as boosting this sort of manipulative garbage, the NYT also runs articles on customer-service nightmares and dead-end jobs (and (gasp) 'authenticity'), which seems to having their cake and eating it. Maybe they'll empathize with anything, if the price is right.
