The primary purpose of freedom of speech is protecting political participation. The protection for other kinds of speech is a trivial consequence.

As for those supposed inalienable rights, I suggest empirical validation. Go to a country like North Korea and try testing, which rights actually exist.

The only rights that matter are the ones that the society (not necessarily the government) is willing to enforce.
Thanks! Glad you found it interesting.
I don't have extensive experience with my current car bought last summer but 2 weeks in warmer weather definitely wasn't an issue.

I agree colder weather is always a bigger issue and at 1-2 months I'd definitely be thinking of a trickle charger if at all possible. An older car I didn't drive in the winter would definitely end up with a dead battery if I didn't keep it on a charger.
One thinks about crypto as a clownworld only until one had to work with or inside the real financial system.

Techincally, it is in no way better than crypto. The only difference is that in real financial system there is a strong legal cover for all the technical and security fuckups. Like, stealing from bank by exploiting their 10-years old Windows XP ATM connected to the internet is 10-years-in-jail offence, while stealing crypto may be hard or impossible to prosecute in many jurisdictions.
Yeah, your program definitely should not do as many useless writes on the system it runs on, it's just bad behaviour. If every program did the same the disk would grind to a halt, SSD or not.

Our entire industry is plagued by people rushing forward while having no idea how the tools at their disposal work. It's immensely wasteful.

I can't even claim to be immune from this, though I do try to know what's available and how to use it. I'm damn near 40 but it's not unusual for me to still, today, stumble on some tool older than me that does exactly what some New Shiny crap does—but, not infrequently, better, at least for some common use-cases, plus it'll have all the kinks ironed out, or at least documented. Good luck promoting any of that in the workplace, though. For all we go on and on about the importance of re-use and avoiding NIH and all that, we sure are quick to disregard solutions that we can't npm-install.

No clue what the fix for this is, or if it even makes sense, all things considered, to try to fix it.

A lot of people are making the assumption that gross incompetence reigned supreme with FTX, and that does seem like the likeliest explanation, but another potential explanation is deeply devious criminal activity.

They could have preplanned this behavior. If they were ever caught doing anything really bad, they had "plausible deniability" by being so loosy-goosy with security and best practices. Everybody from a rogue employee to hackers could be blamed by them if the shit ever hit the fan and they could have some kind of defense that they were so disorganized that they didn't really know what happened.

You might be able to distinguish this by looking at how SBF's own personal crypto funds were managed. If he knew enough to manage his own crypto in a saner way, then you could probably make a case that dysfunction in FTX was by design because he knew better and didn't do it.

Do you think the three part distinction made in The Chip War still basically makes sense?

> By the 2000s, it was common to split the semiconductor industry into three categories. “Logic” refers to the processors that run smartphones, computers, and servers. “Memory” refers to DRAM, which provides the short-term memory com puters need to operate, and flash, also called NAND, which remembers data over time. The third category of chips is more diffuse, including analog chips like sensors that convert visual or audio signals into digital data, radio frequency chips that communicate with cell phone networks, and semiconductors that manage how devices use e lectricity.

If you accept this as the distinction between "discovery" and "manufacturing", then everything in existence is discovered rather than manufactured, which feels like a useless distinction to make. I think this is just an inherently fuzzy line. An ancient example of this is the debate around whether mathematical concepts are discovered or invented.
I'm not making a moral judgement against your policy positions, as I can't really see what they are. I am challenging your apparent belief that you have purchased the right to not be affected by the policies that are in place now.

This is a common problem. My preferred solution is to quiz myself on that specific word, then see the word being used in a context with example sentence(s). That could be extra info on back of the card. While it is right to make flashcards atomic, one might misunderstand that so as to not include information that doesn't directly play a role in Question -> Answer.

Simply spoken, get questioned on the word alone, then see it in context. I've found that sufficient to solve this problem.

As an alternative, you can question yourself on a sentence and the word by its own. Note that sentence alone wouldn't cut as you'd memorize the sentence and not the word and would be unable to remember the word otherwise, most likely.

My understanding from that document is that the bankruptcy managers are just beginning to piece together an accounting of what happened to the money at FTX, and even that accounting is incomplete because personal laptops belonging to executives are being held back by Bahamian authorities. So “FTX wasn’t hacked” is just a hypothesis at this point. Hacking probably wasn’t the major contributing factor to the exchange’s financial problems would probably be a more accurate statement.

Just do the amount you feel like doing. Backlogs don't matter, the system will just show you the highest priority cards (highest risk of forgetting) first, and even give you extra credit (i.e. a longer review interval) for those cards that you do still recall despite the backlog.

All of them? From IDEs through games to email clients. Remove that malware as soon as you can.

> provide Postgres or similar as a database choice

Amplify's core architectural presumption is to only use serverless options to try to keep costs low. Serverless SQL databases are currently a big hole in AWS's offering. Yes, there's Aurora Serverless, but you need to run it in a VPC, you can't scale to zero (so, for some definitions, not really serverless), v2 threw out their Data API, and v1's Data API had severe scaling issues anyway. v2 is so expensive that you have to very seriously think through the numbers on the small RDS databases and ask what value you're actually going to get out of v2. So what OP proposes can't really be done by the Amplify team.

That said, the fact that Planetscale and Neon (which also have branching!) continue without serious competition from AWS is a serious headscratcher.
No poverty I’ve seen in America is shocking to me. I remember sleeping in my dad’s village with hurricane lamps at night because at that point (late 1980s) they didn’t have electricity. By your logic, people would be killing themselves left and right because they were so poor and life was so hard. But poverty isn’t what causes drug addiction.

Addiction is rising in Bangladesh—but as it’s getting richer and more westernized. But even then, to put it into context, the drug overdose rate in the US is 20 times higher adjusted for population.
JEP proposed to target JDK 21: 444: Virtual Threads
Hey, the 8086 has 20 bit memory bus, so it can theoretically support full 1 MB of memory. However, as much as I know, 8086 chips never had complete 1 MB,they had at the most 256/512 KB of memory, and rest address space was used instead as memory mapped IO, or to interface with other chips.

When designing this, we never intended to have support for external chips, so instead we designed this to have the full 1 MB of memory.

Hope this helps!
Agreed. From the late Rev. Dr. John Polkinghorne KBE FRS — a noted Cambridge particle physicist, turned late-call Church of England priest [0]: "Early on, an Anglican clergyman, Charles Kingsley, stated powerfully the right way to think theologically about evolution. He said that God could no doubt have brought into being a ready-made world, but in fact the Creator had done something cleverer than that in making ‘a creation that could make itself’." [1]

I fully agree, they should be labeled as per Twitter terms. The Twitter terms clearly stated that NPR was not an example of state-affiliated media. It's problematic that Twitter labeled in a way contrary to their terms.

Thanks for this timely post. I'm literally in the middle of running down a parasitic drain on my Nissan Xterra.

I tracked mine down using a different method which helps when your fuses don't all have test points (and no conversion table needed).

- Disconnect negative battery cable

- Switch your multimeter to 10A (don't forget to swap lead ports)

- Connect the multimeter in-line between the negative cable and negative battery post

- The readout on the multimeter should now tell you how much drain you have

- Start pulling fuses one by one until you see the amps drop to normal
> You basically don't know what was there and you cannot prove they didn't achieve those results with perfectly clean data.

I mean you totally do though, right? You just need one instance of the LLM reproducing information that would only have been able to by violating copyright.

I mean, it's theoretically possible that it could have reproduced it from scratch, infinite monkies on typewriters sort of thing, but statistically we can rule that out on pretty short notice.

Adding on to this, I don't think the argument that OpenAI, Google and others are ultimately making will be that they don't violate copyright, but instead will ultimately be that their violation is sufficiently transformative such that it constitutes fair-use.
Realistically, you'll just pop the fuse in the ammeter. If it's a nice ammeter the fuse might be pretty expensive.
Livebook 0.9 Released
There's plenty of things to try:

* Set up Javascript Standard
* Add Stryker mutation testing
* Refactor changes into a corporate
template for new projects.
* Experiment with minimal JS calling into

* Port older company libraries to WASM
(Java -> JS callable WASM)
* Take some Frontend Masters courses on
Enterprise Design Patterns, WebRTC, and
data structures.
* Volunteer to wrap stuff in APIs, since
Node.js lets you prototype quickly
* Study the D3.js codebase. Highly
recommended from "Reliable Javascript"

Any of the above gives you a chance to learn transferrable skills.

> The main difference is the whole going bankrupt thing.

US healthcare really does seem to want to bankrupt people. As an example, most insurance doesn't cover dental care, which is (in)famously one of the parts of the body that needs the most maintenance.

My insurance doesn't cover my ADHD meds because I have to take more than 1 pill a day. $80/mo for the rest of my life if I want to treat a disorder. (My case is pretty bad, too.)

I (hopefully?!) have decades of life left, and $80/mo is almost $1,000/year. Not super cheap. I actually can't afford this on my own income and have to rely on a family member to help.

Worst Practices in Software Development: Leah Culver
Yes, I have read the bug report. It mentions that Firefox writes wayyyyy too much in the temp folder. It also mentions that the team should fix this behaviour independently of the fact that some of those calls are more costly than they should be because of the bug in Defender:

> With a standard Firefox configuration, the amount of calls to VirtualProtect is currently very high, and that is what explains the high CPU usage with Firefox. The information that the most impactful event originates from calls to VirtualProtect was forwarded to us by Microsoft, and I confirm it. In Firefox, disabling JIT makes MsMpEng.exe behave much more reasonably, as JIT engines are the source of the vast majority of calls to VirtualProtect.

> On Firefox's side, independently from the issue mentioned above, we should not consider that calls to VirtualProtect are cheap. We should look for opportunities to group multiple calls to VirtualProtect together, if possible. Even after the performance issue will be mitigated, each call to VirtualProtect will still trigger some amount of computation in MsMpEng.exe (or third-party AV software); the computation will just be more reasonably expensive.

Not sure about courses, but you can read their excellent books.
I generally agree with you. Having worked on lots of cross platform software, a big part of that job is to work around quirks of the underlying platforms, which can be significant. However in this case, it's not that Firefox was introducing the usage of these APIs and was then starting to have performance problems. They used the APIs without problems when suddenly Defender came along and slowed them down by orders of magnitude when they had been working fine for years.

While I agree with most of this, keeping a small number of things secure for yourself is far easier than doing it for thousands/millions of accounts in an automated way. That's true of almost everything in software. For instance, just because I know how to use a password manager doesn't mean it's easy to get my whole family using a password manager. They were clearly dysfunctional and there may be some of this at play but Occam's Razor says it was just easier to store less securely.
The biggest problem with Amplify is not any of it's underlying technologies. These are all great services. DynamoDB is one of the best things in the entire AWS service portfolio.

The biggest problem with Amplify is that it hides complexity that the developer really needs to have a firm grasp of when designing their application. You really need to think a lot about your access patterns before using DynamoDB. DynamoDB is OLTP and not OLAP. You aren't going to have a ton of ability to do ad-hoc queries with DynamoDB. that's just not a use case it's well suited for.

HOWEVER - AWS Amplify is marketed without that warning - people use it without really understanding that. Then they get stuck when they start trying to treat it like a traditional RDBMS datastore, which it is not.

Amplify "dumbs down" something that really should not be dumbed down. That's it's biggest problem and the reason I also stopped using Amplify some time ago.
