Its solving the function colouring issue. Your code can run against old-school OS-threads with blocking I/O, or it can run against virtual threads with non-blocking I/O that look and behave almost exactly the same, but are multiplexed onto fewer underlying OS threads, without needing to introduce language constructs such as async/await or changing anything in your program code except maybe the executor implementation.

Golang is opinionated towards its single coroutine model, there is no way to switch. Its a good model and it works well, but there are cases where it leaks, such as low-performance C interop.

This is the thing.

AI is a general-purpose accelerant and force multiplier. It provides a mechanism for automating and deploying at scale, a set of attacks on our society, against which we have little experience and almost no defense—nor even any good means of detecting, at least not until post-mortem forensics.

The most obvious harmful avenue for this is venal criminality (which will be awful) but the real danger is in the political sphere.

There is already widespread use of AI for disinformation purposes in e.g. the Ukraine war.

I have been saying for the last N months or so, my immediate concern with AI is not AGI but augmented intelligence applications which are leveraged enough to be destabilizing.

In specific, I believe the 2024 election cycle in the US will be decided by AI.

We aren't ready for this.

I also wonder how this will shake out for people on H1B visas. When there are 10 qualified US citizens for every (US-based) job available, it's going to be a hard sell that they're hiring somebody with a special skillset that can't be found locally.
I have no issue with your post, but what a ridiculous situation we find ourselves in. We can't get rid of bad apples because of police unions and the relationship between prosecutors and police. It's not politically viable for politicians to enforce standards for police. So, instead, we have to hire a for-profit intermediary to come up with profit-centered reasons to enforce these standards. Yikes.
You should read Childhood’s End by Arthur C. Clarke.
To be clear, qualified immunity is entirely a judicial branch legal principle, and not a law that was passed by the legislative branch.

In UWaterloo CS there's at least two database courses. One covering SQL/querying/normal forms, another looking at how DBs are implemented.

They are not required courses. I agree with GP that DBs are not fundamental to CS in any way. It's trivial with other building blocks of CS though: predicate logic, algorithms, data structures. Set theory. Discrete math basics (also fundamental CS) gives lots of examples of normal forms (prime decomposition, mod p arithmetic, etc).

For me it's all about the access. I happily pay for Usenet access and indexers because it allows me to have a single interface for accessing all media. I don't have to play the guessing game of "which streaming service is this show / movie hosted on this month?". I just hop onto Sonarr or Radarr and it's on my NAS ready to stream in a few minutes. I still pay for Netflix and I get Disney for free from my cell phone plan so if it's outside of those I'll reach for Usenet.

London has really good public transportation and, as this article mentions, lots of people in London do cycle to work (half of all the offices I’ve had in London has had an on-premises bicycle “shed”).

In fact I’ve met so many Londoners who never even bothered to learn to drive.

In my experience, it’s generally American cities that require a car rather than European cities. Generally speaking of course, you get good and bad city designs in all countries.
The question as phrased assumes that the primary incentive for joining the police is impunity for casual lawlessness. That's dystopian.

You could also ask the same question of skilled martial artists and armed forces veterans. Both classes can face higher penalties, but that doesn't deter people from becoming Army Rangers or karate black belts.

A few ideas I like:

- Make police get individual insurance, similarly to doctors. Malpractice should have a monetary impact that doesn't hurt the taxpayer.

- A mirror to the DA, exclusively for prosecuting crimes committed by police. Remove the conflict of interest with the current DA system.

- Make police have some form of practitioners license, and have a board that can revoke it, similarly to the BAR association.

- Mandatory N years of desk duty after being involved in a fatal shooting (regardless of justification)

Rclone is a program to manage files on cloud storage. It is a feature-rich alternative to cloud vendors' web storage interfaces. Over 40 cloud storage products support rclone including S3 object stores, business & consumer file storage services, as well as standard transfer protocols.

Rclone supports folder/file encryption & obfuscation as well as VFS support (mounting remote/cloud as local storage), a great alternative to Veracrypt with syncing abilities over any network storage type.

If you could do a 180 switch this quickly I think you should look inward. The concept that you could be more concerned about the future in 2023 rather than 3 years ago where a novel virus was killing thousands per day would be funny if it wasn't so absurd - consider therapy, because this seems to be an internal issue rather than a problem with the world at large.
In the summer of 1970 as an undergraduate at UIUC, I worked on a "predicting the future" game on PLATO. The idea was, rather than just do some simulation of the future based on a matrix of interactions, we would do the simulation, ask the player what seemed "wrong", and then adjust the interactions.

The trick was the tiny amount of memory available for each user -- 63 words -- not enough for much of a matrix. But words could have 8 characters, and we certainly did not need high precision in our interaction matrix, so I ended up packing 8 8-bit words in each variable, using masks and shifts, allowing much larger interaction matrices (I probably used 16x16)

Ten years later, the packing/shifting became a central part of one of the first widely used protein sequence similarity searching programs, FASTP (the precursor of FASTA and BLASTP).

Unless the changes are a critical bug fix, deploying on Friday is an asymmetric bet with high risk and low reward. That's why people prefer not to do it.

Even if the chances something will go wrong are very slim and you have lots of really great tests, they are still non-zero. Lots of unexpected things can go wrong in modern interconnected systems with lots of network dependencies.

Not deploying on Fridays is not a matter of confidence. It's recognition that the downside is huge (losing your weekend) and the payoff is small for the vast majority of changes you could deploy. That's it.

I didn't really like the format of this article. The upfront quiz without much context or insight makes it feel like you're in class for an exam you didn't study for. The answers they provide are largely just Yes or No. When you get to the meat of the article, the quiz itself is forgotten until the conclusion. In fact, they even mention how useless the quiz is to provide insight at the beginning of the instructive content.

> Is it all clear now? Well, probably no. It feels like reverse engineering a black box. So what is happening behind the scenes? Let's take a look.

Keeping the quiz format, I think it would've been better to have it at the end then have the answers tie into the concepts you've learned. Or have the questions littered throughout the article and used to build upon the concepts it is teaching you. In its current state, I don't see this article's information having much staying power in my brain without concentrated study of the article.
It should incentivize them to act with a high degree of professionalism and regard for the law. What’s the point of granting them extraordinary powers over life and liberty if they’re not held to a higher, not lower, standard?

People who work for a broker or market making bank are heavily scrutinized and they, their family, and to some degree associates (room mates, etc) are restricted in their basic conduct - political activity, investing, etc, and face increased penalties for financial crimes vs the average person. It’s telling we hold our money handlers to a higher standard than the armed representatives of the government with extraordinary rights to deprive people of their liberty and life. Money is more important than our freedom and safety?

On recruiting officers by making the job come with the perks of immunity for criminal behavior, seems like we should find another strategy. If you can’t identify yourself as the police before you beat someone half to death, maybe you’re not qualified to be a law enforcement officer? Maybe we should be glad they wouldn’t take the job if it came with reasonable protections for the people they’re supposed to be protecting?
I recently came across this when I tried to find out how the US Navy’s Hammerhead system works.

In this article https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/weapons/a34451548/... they say "After the XLUUV releases the Hammerhead, the mooring module anchors the mine to the seabed where it might wait days, weeks, or even months for the activation order."

So I tried to find out what possibilities there are for wireless underwater comm and found this. No idea if this is what Hammerhead uses or not but I found the technology fascinating nonetheless.

> I think the outrage was a little too big initially. It's a big task to create a git host that needs to compete with Github and the likes and I think it's fair that you want to make some money on the side with that.

"Painted bicycle gutters" is the derogatory term for what many North American cities call "biking infrastructure". There have even been some studies that suggest they have worse effects than nothing, because they give a false sense of security to cyclists without providing any protection against drivers. Especially when coupled with total lack of general planning (e.g. bike planes splattered from random place A to random place B, finishing in the middle of an intersection).

Everyone deserves better biking infrastructure, cyclists and car drivers alike (more bikes => less cars => less traffic => happier drivers and happier cyclists).
My first thought was “What about JNA?”

> Over the years, numerous frameworks have emerged to fill the gaps left by JNI, including JNA, JNR and JavaCPP. These frameworks are often a marked improvement over JNI but the situation is still less than ideal — especially when compared with languages which offer first-class native interoperation. For example, Python's ctypes package can dynamically wrap functions in native libraries without any glue code. Other languages, such as Rust, provide tools which mechanically derive native wrappers from C/C++ header files.

Interesting, that seems plausible. Before I noticed this error, I was getting an error "cannot process two messages at once" whenever I tried to start a chat. Perhaps the root cause is some infinite loop on the frontend spamming blank messages.

OpenAI did exact the test for GPT-4. The raw, non-fine-tune GPT-4 is quite good at predicting confidence level ("highly calibrated" by their words).

Yes and that is nice, it'll allow future import map support, like in the browser, which is inline with Deno's goal of using browser APIs instead of proprietary ones.

But the package.json format part is a backwards compatibility feature. The preferred import maps will be the ideal solution (if you do need dependency management).

None of that really goes against direct imports, which work well for single file scripts, workers, etc. Choose what fits.
Well, I logged out and learned that "ChatGPT is at capacity right now" and therefore doesn't work. At all. At least for me. Can we call that an improvement too, I wonder? :)

As a class, police officers are expected to be highly knowledgeable of the law and have been trained in both hand-to-hand combat and conflict de-escalation. Off duty police officers should know when they're doing something illegal, they should be ready to stop a volatile situation from coming to blows, and they are at an unfair advantage in a fight vis-a-vis the average civilian and should thus be slower to resort to violence.

> Why don't you share the numbers then, what is significant in your mind

IIRC there are no numbers. Because nobody really knows who owns what. Also if you had huge amounts of bitcoin why on earth would you hold all of it in single wallet? Makes no sense...

> privately owned wallets holding more than 0.5% of BTC.

Which is an astronomically huge amount for a private individual to own in case BTC replaces dollars. Even if we only count actual dollars bills in circulation that 0.5% of that would be 10.5 billion. What private person could have that much cash stored somewhere? And most importantly why?

If we include entire M1 supply (bills + deposits) 0.5% would be equal to 100 BILLION dollars. That's not an amount that can exist in a single place in USD, no single person does or ever did own such an amount in liquid assets which he could sell transfer the proceeds to someone in a short period of time. That's not really possible.
I sat next to two sophomore (2nd year) UC Berkeley CS undergrads on a flight, I asked them their favorite programming languages and got JavaScript and Python.

Are they seriously lowering the bar that far in order to cash in on the huge increase of demand?
