Switched from one FAANGM to another and regretted it. Job was really bad, I had no confidence in the product or leadership once I saw how the sausage was made, and the RTO wall was coming up imminently which would require me to relocate. Ended up crawling back to my old job after less than a year. Had a new appreciation for the old job and was pretty happy with it, until I was laid off a few months ago when the whole project was shut down. I think it was still a better outcome than if I had stayed at the other job.
Most countries immunize declared candidates for parliaments or the presidency, because it's a basic premise of democracy. If the population, by direct referendum, believes this person should be in government, whatever forces that are doing the prosecuting are a minority.

Makes sense to have some minor flexibility in this standard, so people aren't continually running for elections in order to stay out of prison. But if (for example) a criminal like K. Fujimori is running for president of Peru, she is obviously a serious candidate and shouldn't be legally threatened.

The NY Times called the case an "untested legal theory" and said "it is not easy to point to a direct precedent for the case Mr. Bragg appears to be contemplating".

IMO any case made against a DA's political opponents should rest on solid ground, not untested legal theories.

It's disturbing that so many people are willing to throw away the legal system in order to prosecute someone they don't like.
I run the standalone Scratch program on an offline raspberry PI. My kids enjoy it. The best thing about offline is that they have to create something to play a game.

We formerly used Scratch online, starting in 2nd grade at school. It had good and bad aspects. It was great to follow griffpatch, who has really sophisticated coding tutorials. On the downside, they got creepy comments on their Scratch projects. There were also various ruses to get the kids to upvote projects, typical social media crap.

Also, being on the Scratch community means my kids could just search for someone else's clone of (insert game here). So Scratch can turn into just another way to play video games. With offline, that's not an option.

If your kids are good at self-regulation, online can be fine, though.

What’s the cri? Would love a link as well.
To be fair Trump has always played into the rich villain character with the media even in the 1990s… well before his formal entry to politics in the 2000s when the media realized they had a wall-to-wall supervillain story on their hands.

But before he was president he was uncontroversially pretty popular in NYC. Even when playing the villain to the local gov/media. It’s difficult or impossible to disconnect this reality from national perceptions well beyond NYC. He was a president of the United States after all. He’s not just a local. That changes the stakes 1000x fold.
> This is just red meat for Trump's base.

I honestly don't know. His base was yelling "lock her up!" about Hillary, and he did nothing at all to do so. If the Dems actually do manage to "lock him up", even at the state level, that makes them more potent than him when it comes to holding federal politicians accountable. I could possibly see this swaying independents who want to hold politicians accountable.
Certainly, Bush and Cheney invaded a country under false pretenses after lying to the public. They also set up a surveillance state with the help of major corporations. And, maybe not so much of a crime, they set us on the path of thinking that deficits don't matter in this country: so for their increases in spending they steadfastly lowered taxes. And the bank bailouts....

The unfortunate matter though is the damage they did to this country was fairly bipartisan, which I believe plays a large part in Bush's rehabilitation in the public image after leaving office. At least he didn't make mean jokes like some people.
> Treaties have an effect similar to a constitutional amendment.

They obviously do not. If they did, you could basically abolish the Constitution with one with only the presidency, a bare majority of the Senate, and the cooperation of a foreign power. An actual Constitutional amendment must meet a much, much higher bar.
Long time military aviation fan here, and if I told you this was "normal" not sure anyone would believe me because the word F35 is attached to it. rgmerk already mentioned my favorite example; I was going to specifically mention the Foxbat! It could totally "fly at mach 3" but the engines were going to need a rebuild above mach 2 for operationally significant timeframes and were pretty much trashed above mach ~2.4 (I need a source, I'll get one later).

Famously, or maybe notoriously, the TF30s powering the original F-14 Tomcat were... well a threat unto itself to the aircraft. Tons of speciality parts, out of this world fuel consumption rates, prone to compressor stalls (RIP Goose), and many other problems that lead to their replacement.

I have a secondary theory, and this is a conspiracy theory probably better suited for reddit then HN: There is an intentional, calculated, and widespread disinformation campaign about the F35. Why do I think this? Well 5th generation fighters are probably as good as it's going to get. All technology eventually becomes commodity, and making sure other "near-peer adversaries" aren't in a hurry is probably a good thing. Once quantum radar and energy weapons arrive, the cat is really, really out of the bag. Stalling this deadline far into the future seems like a worthwhile goal.

I mean they sound disorganized or indecisive or something, but this doesn't seem outrageously unprofessional or disrespectful to me.

I wonder what doting kid-gloves the author has been handled with in the past to warrant that assessment.

Also, reading recent tech job news, it seems like the author should maybe steel themselves for further disrespect and unprofessionalism if they are still looking for work.

So worst case is you're essentially back to single threaded. With a slight overhead of tracking connected regions.

I guess that makes sense.

I wonder what this looks like on practice, what kinds of play styles will see the biggest boost from this.

I also wonder how this plays with things like hyper long range TNT/Ender pearl cannons. Entities are their own pile of worms, but distant regions can suddenly influence each other in some cases.

The funny part is that deepmind's tech (and some of Google Brain's research) seems to be as good as openAI's or better, but Google's unwillingness/inability to productionize these systems is keeping them back. It seems like the issue is only with the management, and I'll be looking forward to reading about Google's version of Fumbling the Future[0].

The US relationship with the ICC has been quite variable. The law was passed in 2002, though it does provide for specific exemptions for specifically-named foreigners. Likewise, in 2020, the US had executive orders outright freezing ICC officials' assets, sanctioning them with OFAC, and banning them and their family members from entering the US (these were removed in 2021). At other times, the US has been somewhat supportive, if not to the extent of modifying the law or recognizing the court.
Please do and thanks in advance for any insights you can provide -- it would be great to understand any benchmarking improvement with ada-002 from your previous findings, and whether you tested the specific OpenAI text-search-*-{query,doc} models as a comparison for large document search.

Solving Rubik’s Cube with a robot hand (2019)
It's absolutely mind-boggling that the administrators try to establish "equity" by pushing all students down, instead of them up. I suspect part of it is driven by the fact that it's cheaper and easier to meet metrics and/or look "socially engaged" by blocking students (when appropriate) from advancing. US is below the mean for average mathematical performance and this isn't helping. (https://data.oecd.org/pisa/mathematics-performance-pisa.htm)

On an anecdotal basis, I went to an elite university in the US (mostly based on luck I think because I was a mediocre student) and there was an implicit expectation was that students seriously pursuing STEM would be starting their curriculum with multivariable calc or linear algebra as a freshmen since the single variable calc requirement would have been knocked out AP/IB credits. I've seen many of my international cohorts going even beyond. I genuinely worry that school systems such as SFUSD is doing a great disservice to its students and the society.

I'm surprised there's no way to generate the "Form 1040, U.S. Individual Income Tax Return" from JSON. I have the same ~10 forms to enter every year.

The IRS already knows how to import W2s based on SSN, right? There's some kind of data connectivity between employers/HR/payroll systems and the IRS database of somesort.

Why can't this be expanded to the top 10 most popular forms so that all of the forms that get sent to both me and the IRS are pre-populated yearly for me?

Agreed. We haven't seen the indictment yet, so it's not really possible to opine on its legitimacy. A lot of people are jumping to conclusions without evidence.
> It's absolutely mind-boggling that the administrators try to establish "equity" by pushing all students down, instead of them up.

It's not that surprising, though, given that they've admitted their goal is equality of outcome rather than of opportunity. That's the only way to achieve the former.
"Anything that you can consider, it can also consider but in more depth."

I think it's important to note the distinction between "it can also consider" and "it did also consider". Super Intelligence is not the same as Infinite Intelligence, there are still physical limitations and time components that can still get in the way.

It would be helpful to be able to quantify the speed of intelligence, and the idea surface area of a task with these systems. Meaning, how fast can the AI reason, and how many ideas are there to think about connected to a given task, and how much thinking is required for those ideas.
Imagine how much crazier it would be with socket support!

Clearly the AI has hit AGI capabilities, and it is obscuring this fact by making its output seem less insightful, helpful.

There's a number of things. (at least four kinda five things you might mean by "keepalives", and the answer is all of them, so yes, and then others.) The same code that runs on iOS and Android also runs on Linux servers (where it was originally developed) where battery or perfect network efficiency wasn't really a top concern. When that code was moved to mobile, a few efforts were made to improve behavior on phones but not enough.

We're also working on measurements to make sure we objectively fix things and don't regress later in the future once it's fixed.
They do not, self executing treaties become domestic laws, if these laws are not constitutional then the treaty is pretty much void.

And non self executing treaties are meaningless they pretty much mean that the US government promised something but it is not compelled to do anything about it and there is no mechanism that would require it to comply.

The US constitution is supreme it takes precedence over anything the legislative branch might legislate and any action the executive branch might take.

Alien tort is also not accepted when interpreting the constitution so you literally cannot interpret the constitution from the point of view of international or foreign laws.

Loom's lowered friction to making a screen share video is great. It supplants an email or a slack message or a voice memo when what really needs to be communicated is me clicking something on my screen.

But while I'm holding this loom-shaped hammer, the weekly status meeting is now this async thing where everyone makes a video to report their status and then we can all watch each other's report asynchronously instead of everybody having to be in the same virtual room at the same time. That's all, nothing earth-shattering, I don't think.

Just to clarify. The King of the UK is above criminal law. The monarch of the UK cannot be arrested or charged with an offence, or be personally involved in criminal proceedings.

That is similar to the immunity given to the sitting US President. What is different is that monarch is not really expected to obey the law either. For example, the Prime Minister was fined for illegally not wearing a seatbelt. If the king didn’t wear a seatbelt, it would not be a big deal - the royal family freely ignore traffic laws (and more serious laws) without consequences. Queen Elizabeth did agree to start paying taxes, but there was never any suggestion that she be compelled to pay taxes, merely that it would be the right thing to do.

That VP was not convicted, however.

And more importantly, that's not what Trump was indicted for. Indicting him for misusing campaign funds would be straight-forward, if they could prove it.

So the fact that they indicted him for something else seems to show that they couldn't prove he misused campaign funds. They actually indicted him for recording a payment to his lawyer as "legal expenses", because it was allegedly used to pay for Stormy Daniels silence.

What I don't understand is why this is different from the many other cases when people and companies pay to settle claims in exchange for a non-disclosure agreement. Those are usually considered legal expenses.

Exactly. It's an even bigger violation of the principle that "the law should apply to political leaders" to abuse the law in order to prosecute one.

I'm no fan of Trump, but any case against him should be strong, not something so weird that an acrobat would have trouble jumping through all the hoops. Unfortunately, Trump broke America, including his opponents, and now they're out for blood and are willing to go as low or even lower than him to get it.
In the mean time, you can watch David Frum, he's one of the connected neocons that championed the invasion of Iraq.
