Maybe for someone you know in person. But the people who quit google in response to defence contracts aren't your boss. And they aren't your friends. You're a stranger to them. So its a bit of a long bow to draw to claim they owe you a followup.

It wouldn't surprise me if some of them did blog about changing their mind after the Ukraine war started. We must still have no idea because it just didn't make the front page anywhere.

I was wondering why they made it in Chile. Wind? Sun? Cheap land? Corruption and lack of evironment protection regulation? Also using ships running on HFO to transport this green e-fuel from Chile to Germany or whrerever they sell most Porsches.
Asking the real questions. Without looking I'm willing to bet the answer is "no, and stop asking".
You can build all you want the corporate and foreign wealth will still buy it before people can.
LLM's and prompt interfaces aren't a source of truth in the first place. They could be used to compare sources, though.
> I think the students would be better served if they learned to use git using GUI tools, at least initially, but that would be an anathema to the dev culture

But why do you care about the backward culture more than the real students?
Is the improved performance of C over say Java, or Rust (which both have much less undefined behaviour -- Java almost none) worth the pain and bugs which have been caused by UB?

Honestly, I don't think so, and as computers get more powerful and the amount of the world which relies on their correct functioning grows, I feel the arguments for UB become increasingly difficult to justify.
Outside of tech, there's UCSF, a prominent medical institution, a large part of which can only be done in person and not remotely, as well as Genentech and similar, which is in south sf and not sf proper, but where do their employees want to live? some want suburbia but some also want city living

True and fair, I just don't get the taste of CoD/Bf games. They all feel bland.
So you chose to run code you couldn’t read? On you again. Doesn’t make it any less voluntary.

As far as I’m concerned, all those exploits were 100% fair game. Again, it’s not a centralized exchange. There is no CEO making promises to you, there are no guarantees. The code you chose to interact with behaved exactly as it was written. That’s what makes crypto unique, there are no “Bitcoin developers”, they don’t have any more power over bitcoin than anyone else. Their changes are only merged in because holders voted those changes in. That’s the very thing that makes it not a security.

Don’t like that? Make better choices next time, or don’t use cryptocurrencies. As I said, that was always an option.
For a moment I thought you were simply joking!

"The big guy", it's foolproof!
In that case they are entirely missing my point. Obviously Chinese politics responds (to one extent or another) to internal pressure. My point is that as an American citizen/resident I don’t have any influence on Chinese politics, so if a Chinese company under influence from the Chinese government infringes on my rights I have no real recourse. Whereas if something goes wrong here in my own country based on action of local citizens or locally based companies/politicians, the residents here can put direct pressure on the domestic political system, bring civil/criminal legal action against wrongdoing, etc.
That doesn't make sense. If you are fired one time, you can't be fired the other nine times unless you were rehired[1]. What you are saying is a contradiction.

Lets call them spuds (and the silicon things: ICs) to disambiguate. The fried potato disks can be called crisps.
Hopefully not literally. (But C23 is exactly the kind of programming language you expect to do that.)
Those things aren’t up to the language, they’re up to hardware. C is a portable language that runs on many different platforms. Some platforms might have protected memory and trap on out of bounds memory access. Other platforms have a single, flat address space where out of bounds memory access is not an error, it just reads whatever is there since your program has full access to all memory.

The same goes for integer overflow. Some platforms use 1’s complement signed integers, some platforms use 2’s complement. Signed overflow would simply give different answers on these platforms. The standards committee long ago decided that there’s no sensible answer to give which covers all cases, so they declared it undefined behaviour which allows compilers to assume it’ll never happen in practice and make lots of optimizations.

Forcing signed overflow to have a defined behaviour means forcing every single signed arithmetic operation through this path, removing the ability for compilers to combine, reorder, or elide operations. This makes a lot of optimizations impossible.

This shows how little you understand the actual source of power in the world. The vote is a way to keep that source from changing governments, not the actual source.

This mindset is prevalent today, as if people are incapable of changing government without its permission
Car dependent suburbanites are also anti car: their neighborhoods are designed to make driving through them inconvenient, to minimize the the cost of their car dependent lifestyle on THEM. I just want exactly the same car-hostile design, with 15 mph speed limits and copious dead ends, in my neighborhood so my neighborhood streets are also safe enough for kids to play in. How can suburbanites object?

The status quo is that the external costs of car dependent lifestyles are almost entirely pushed onto other people via highways slicing through the middle of cities, roads being paid for mostly via the general fund, larger vehicles protecting occupants at the cost of everyone else, sound isolated cabins protecting drivers from the noise they create and requiring louder emergency sirens...it just goes on and on.

EVs are better for the environment than ICE vehicles, but the noise, air pollution via tire dust, and physical danger they present is the same. The real EV is an e-bike, but most people don't want to bike because sharing roads with cars feels too dangerous. As a result, cars on the only choice.

I want 90% of my city streets to block through traffic with physical barriers, just like the suburbs. Many intersections should allow ONLY pedestrians, cyclists, transit, and service vehicles through, so the fastest and most pleasant ways from point A to point B are walking, cycling, or transit.
It's not about the buildings themselves, it's about the neighborhood. As always in real estate it's location, location, location.
“Unconventional” seems like a bad pick to me, too neutral. Clearly the author intends to say something negative about zero-length objects. And of course it is fine dislike things, it is just a matter of not using hurtful language.

I would venture that some 80% of it is just boilerplate generated by various tools like create-react-app.
> because a is only big when b is small or some property like that

Exactly, the expressiveness of the type system then (typically) becomes the obstacle: How do you express that a and b could each reach INT_MAX but their sum never exceeds INT_MAX?

Either they do or they don’t. It hardly matters. If compatible men and women find each other then our species will continue. Otherwise it will die out.

In the course of dying out, people will change their attitudes and standards. Crisis situations will multiply. In the midst of crisis, I doubt life will be any easier for women than it is now. But maybe I’m wrong and it will be a feminist utopia. Good luck with that.

What about not having to hear your neighbors? What about not having to worry about your neighbors hearing you? Maybe you like listening to loud music at night. Maybe you want a home theater. Maybe you want to play your piano/drum any time of the day.

I think you're underestimating how nice it is to have space.
It depends. If you want to study maths, yes. If you want to be a programmer:

[status, value] = add(a, b);

Is much more unparalleled-ly (?) readable from the perspective of how a computer actually operates. In reality, this:

uint c = (uint)a + (uint)b; // (to make that other guy happy)

is really:

c = (a + b) % (sizeof(uint));

in "C", which is less readable but far more accurate.
>I don’t know that this is true.

In the 20th century governments slaughtered wholesale around 100 million of their own citizens (China, Russia, Cambodia), let alone those of other countries they killed in war. There's no measure by which the market comes anywhere near that amount of murder.
AI would likely be a first-class participant or citizen in any early human colony in space. Our perception of risk-to-civilization changes significantly for off-world events. Just like the plan to build nuclear reactors on the Moon, the threat from AI isn't deemed serious if the plan is to have AI bots on another celestial body.

If that were to play out, that would mean the demand for building the AI ecosystem would only increase, and even if it were for off-world deployment, it would still disrupt industries and economies on Earth.
> OpenAI is a company that can barely ship a functioning website, or have proper security for basic stuff. You'd not expect this company to be the future of AI, do you?

In case you didn't know: ML researchers are infamous for being bad at traditional software engineering.

That's why, I personally don't think whether a company can "proper security for basic stuff" has much correlation with probability of achieving AGI.
Terrible article.

"Nitrogen, produced by cars, agriculture, and heavy machinery used in construction, can be a dangerous pollutant, damaging ecosystems and endangering people's health."

Huh? Nitrogen?

But since 2015, the country has also witnessed the arrival of enormous “hyperscalers,” buildings that generally span at least 10,000 square feet".

They may have obtained that definition from here.[1] That's not a big data center. That's a small supermarket. Large data centers today are two orders of magnitude larger.

> The FDIC endorses the concept of a vacation policy that allows active officers and employees to be absent from their duties for an uninterrupted period of no less than two weeks. During this time, their duties and responsibilities should be assumed by other employees. This basic control has proven to be an effective internal safeguard in preventing fraud. In addition, such a policy is viewed as a benefit to the well-being of the employees and can be a valuable aid to the institution's overall training program.

This was basically Electron before there was Electron.

It was hoped that other people would follow the Mozilla Suite's (before Firefox, Mozilla's standard distro was an application suite containing a browser, email reader, chat client, and HTML editor) example and use JavaScript, XUL, and XPCOM to build cross-platform desktop applications. The last of those, XPCOM (Xross Platform COM), was Mozilla's take on Microsoft's Component Object Model, where you would write lower-level components in C or C++ (using the NSPR, Netscape Portable Runtime) that were callable from JavaScript

Unfortunately, virtually no one outside of Mozilla adopted the XUL/JS/XPCOM stack. One of the few I remember was ActiveState's Komodo IDE.

I still regard it as a huge missed opportunity for Mozilla.

Spectators were kept about 3 miles from Saturn V launches, so you could build a REALLY WIDE stadium for Starship launches. The Circus Maximus wouldn't have ANYTHING on it.

We might be less than 50 years out from Starship or similar launches being as boring as a plane taking off or a train passing by.
If you ask yourself what the possible benefits are for dutch people. Absolutely nothing. Companies like Microsoft have complex tax constructions so not a single cent ends up in the dutch economy. Next. These datacenters are huge energy consumers in an already scarse market. Drives prices up. Nobody wants to live close to these ugly heavily guarded places. At the same time the Netherlands faces a housing crisis often related to lack lack of suitable land. Now used by the monster buildings. There are many more important aspects why you dont want this things on your country.
I wouldnt be suprised if in this case Microsoft bribed a few non voted EU representatives to put pressure on local dutch politicians. The whole process is shady and intransparant.

Does it have to though? Think about startup fundraising rounds. At the very beginning, the founders own 100% of a $0 company. let's say they give up 15% for $150k at a $1mm valuation. 85% of $1mm is worth more than 100% of $0. So then a series B, for another 15% but this time at $10mm valuation. They're diluted down to 70%, but it's of $10mm, which equals $7mm. What does this have to do with housing? Well as a city grows, existing housing can become more valuable, along with more housing also becoming available. So similar to cases where dilution doesn't agree over existing shareholders because they now own a smaller piece of a much larger pie, so too then owners of existing housing also appreciate, rather than depreciate in value.

Eh? It's litterally designed to ferry people back and fourth from mars. Just because it can also launch satellites it doesn't stop it being an interplanetary vehicle.
People can have feelings without being deluded; it's okay to feel motivated by how many users use the thing you made. You do you.

That said, many googlers do _not_ end up impacting millions or billions of users. So GP is a lucky one. Google has a lot of people working on infra, internal tooling, and subfeatures within products that don't / are hard to connect to usage.
Pragmatic, practical, hydrogen at scale from the people currently building out ways to double and quadruple current global green hydrogen production is looking a lot like bulk transport of ammonia (hydrogen rich with 'safe' nitrogen by product) to large scale generators to distribute electricity .. to charge "dirty lithium" batteries.

If it's any consolation the "dirty lithium" part doesn't happen at the mines - they fairly cleanly extract and mechanically produce concentrates which largely (today) go to China and Malaysia .. and will soon ship to Texas.

That doesn’t make sense. Are you actually basing this off of numbers or just feels? It uses maybe 8 cars’ worth of cells for a Tesla Semi. Tesla makes over 1.6 million cars a year now (based on Q4 2022), so they’d be able to make 200,000 semis a year, which is close to how many new semis are sold in the us every year. As semis are driven more often and with higher payload, this is actually probably a better use of them (more fossil fuel usage displaced) than in commuter cars.

As far as economic sense, it could most certainly make a ton of sense compared to diesel for consumers. But sure, Tesla would probably make more margin on cars than on Semi.
The EU keep pumping out these absolutely ridiculous green policies that have crippling effects locally. Recently they brought out a new energy efficiency directive which could cause up to 50% (!) of Finnish flats & houses to require sizeable renovations.

Brussels have been very effective in transforming a useful economic union into a centrally managed dystopian nightmare that a lot of people will soon be willing to burn down regardless of consequence - myself included.
I think you are right. However if LLMs can be synergistically integrated with symbolic logic systems (think ChatGPT+OpenCyc) then that might be a game changer reaching AGI levels.

If you read the manifesto I think it explains it well. I don’t understand how there isn’t an English translation that the article can link to. I’ve only read the original Danish version.

But yes, your first quote defies the stated purpose of the manifesto (but you could argue that it’s actual purpose was to give the director power)

In essence, the manifesto says it is not the director, but the movie itself that has to “take the power back.”

The director even vows not to be credited.

“Director as artist” means that the film is the work of a particular person.
I mostly agree with your point however IMO the psychopath thing is not a great example because it could be explained as the incomplete or nonexistent development of something that is complex that is beneficial. I think the error is that we can’t necessarily know what the cost was. And the benefit doesnt necessarily have to be that big relative to the cost. I mean I’m replying to you and that me costs something, and what’s the benefit?

While the sounds don’t make themselves, they could be a side effect of something else… instabilities in the structural tissue, the plant straining to increase the movement internal fluids… who knows?

That said, I personally think there is communication between plants, or that at the very least it’s something like trying to mimic predator insect sounds. But could be that the vibrations themselves help move fluids around (as opposed to being a byproduct of something else that does)
That, plus Nicolas Winding Refn's Pusher trilogy is also canonical Dogme 95. That's before Refn became a mainstream director with his Drive. Despite the fact that most Danish directors have already abandoned Dogme you can still see its influence in their more recent films. I think Dogme 95 can be considered the New Wave Cinema moment of Danish cinematography, it's been incredibly prolific and influential.
Honestly, your comment makes me wonder if there is any kind of site or project keeping track of that (because there should be), because I saw a headline recently but can't remember any specifics.

Searching 'book banning' on news.google.com still returns a lot of results with towns still doing it.

I think what I was actually thinking of though, was I think Mississippi (I think) deciding to defund all libraries in retaliation for the library suing over book bans.

> Emissions of nitrogen oxides and ammonia have been too high in the Netherlands for many years. This causes excessive deposition of nitrogen, which is harmful for both nature and public health.

> Transport and industry are the main emitters of nitrogen oxides. Ammonia mainly comes from livestock manure and chemical fertilisers, which are used in the agriculture sector. Reducing the amount of nitrogen deposition is vital for the sake of our health, the quality of our nature areas and for the sustainability of food production. That is why the Dutch government is introducing measures for industry, agriculture, transport and the construction sector.

> A large part of the nitrogen deposition can be traced to the agriculture sector and to sources outside the Netherlands. The remainder is attributable to households, road transport, international shipping, industry, construction, energy generation and waste processing.

Have you watched any? If you like cinema, you might dig it. Or not. I can see how it is hard to appreciate just "director+camera" if all you've ever watched are hollywood blockbusters.

I have seen this kind of behaviour in the consulting business here in Germany many times. Actually so often that I started to believe this is the culture around those companies. No integrity, no real teamwork, lying behind your back, ego driven, playing the blame game, very poisonous atmosphere.
Aggregating and organizing public knowledge is a fundamentally valuable action which many companies make their business off of.

If I create a website for tracking real estate trends in my area — which is public information — should I not be able to sell that information?

Similarly if a consulting company analyzes public market macro trends are they not allowed to sell that information?

Just because the information which is being aggregated and organized is public does not necessarily mean that the output product should be in the public.
