Agreed! There are many things in IT industry that are prone to this kind of almost magical thinking, and "boundaries" / "tight coupling" is one of them. I realized that when tried to actually compare some stuff I had been doing at work through years, being fascinated with uncoupling things. Well, if you start measuring it, even at the top level (time, people, money spent) then it is so clear that there are obvious tight couplings at architecture level (like data on wire containing some structure or transferring a state of application), and it is very tempting to remove them. But then we may actually find ourselves having a subtle tight coupling, totally not obvious, but effecting in a need of two teams or even two tech stacks and a budget more than twice the size because of communication / coordination costs.
I had this same thought. The problems with this app are serious enough to be a danger for certain people who might rely on it (journalists for example)

The point she is making is about choosing to go back, towards less abstraction, rather than forward. So I expect the answer to your question is that two endpoints are enough to establish both directions and make the intended point.

If midpoints are introduced then comments like yours "but what about..." can always be made until the entire abstraction tower is fully described, and that's not the blog post (or book) the author wanted to write.
They fixed that "same file name" annoyance? We have Office 2021(?) at work and it still has that "feature".
>What do you do with dual soldering irons?

I still use the cheap soldering irons, carry about a dozen different ones for different occasions in my truck in a travel case.

One of the most challenging was a fish-finder on an offshore boat where the very expensive underwater sensor was just fine but it was only the business end of a long waterproof multi-shielded power, analog, digital cable which was what the marinas replace whole-hog when somebody ends up with the cable caught in the propellor or something like that.

Can't bring that kind of thing to the bench anyway.

The arguments in that blog feel very much like a Google press release.

The main argument against domain confusion is basically that the author doesn't personally see it as an issue, underlined with a bunch of strawman arguments of things that could theoretically appear in urls but never do in practice.

But none of that matters, because thanks to forced HSTS, there will surely never ever be a malicious domain on those new TLDs. This is because, though the new domains may make security harder for users, forced HSTS makes security easier for certain other parties which are not users. So users just have to rely on the smooth operation of those theoretical other parties and everything will work out.

I love ruby, and find it great to use pry and irb to explore and figure stuff out.

However, many times ruby libraries will use dynamic programming and method_missing to define methods on the fly… this makes it really hard to figure out what methods are actually available.

For that reason, I try to never use method missing to define core functionality in ruby, and hate when other gems do it.
Now that it's unpatched, can we instead use something open that will be user mainatable and thus have a better chance of being secure?

Do you have kids? That's the difference.

Sending them to a weaker school district does impact them negatively over their career. They aren't as likely to get the education+extracurriculars+references needed to get into target programs in target schools, which makes them less likely to start their careers at renowned companies (doesn't have to be FAANG, even unicorns, YC startups, and F1000s restrict new grad hiring to a handful of target programs), which makes them less likely to climb the ladder efficiently, which makes them less likely to be able to afford to buy a house or start a family. Plus they aren't as likely to have a strong alumni network that can help them open doors everywhere.

If I stayed in SFUSD I wouldn't have been able to reach the position I am at today versus the HS I went being one with a strong alumni network and the children of high net worth families.

My friends who stayed in SFUSD cannot afford to live in the Bay Area anymore and will probably never have a chance to ever afford living in California (they all ended up moving to Arizona and Texas) whereas by going to a target HS, I have a shot at those milestones in my 30s-40s.

It sucks, but America is a harsh society now. Most careers outside of Tech/Finance/Accounting pay shit, and Tech+Finance+Accounting jobs severely restrict entry now c. 2023.

Why not send top stockholders to prison while you're at it? And regional managers as well? And the stores that sell the printers too?

No, prison makes zero sense. When people agree to a business contract and one side fails to uphold their end of the bargain, the remedy should remain financial. And punitive remedies exist precisely to make sure the "cost of doing business" makes it no longer profitable.

And if that's not happening, then that's the fault of the legislators and voters. This is why we need to vote people into office who ensure that consumer protection laws remain strong.

Did you ever play GeneRally? Kind of a similar top-down racer for Windows (works in Wine as well) which is a lot of fun and has plenty of mods.

Edit: After playing--even just from the menu UI I wouldn't be surprised to find that GeneRally is meant as an homage to Slicks 'n' Slide...

> The rush to privatize everything in Russia came from the West - particularly the US. The US encouraged Putin's protege Yeltsin to use tanks to shell Russia's parliament - which was celebrated on US news shows, in government etc.

> You're upholding the beacon of the US to militantly right what it had a hand in creating in the first place.

translation: Russians have no agency.

What happned in Russia post USSR is entirely on Russians and Russian culture. You should show more respect to a people and arguably a civilization than painting them as chumps that do the bidding of foreigners to their own detriment. Russia is responsible for Russia's situations. Just like we are responsible for our (equally not optimal lately) situation over in US.

+I have no idea where you get your facts: Yeltsin wasn't "Putin's protege", Putin wasn't Yeltin's protege either. The mayor of St. Petersburg was Putin's patron and he (being powerful) apparently* brokered a deal for transition from Yeltin's clique to his own (and then Putin ran with it). Yeltsin promoted Putin because he got a deal for himself and his family after the transition. That does not make him Putin's protege.

As to the tanks, it's possible CIA called and suggested something. Is this America's fault that Russian politicians overnight turn from fire breathing communist to CIA lapdogs?

Is it really?

* that's actually wrong. Sobchak was in exile in Paris at that time. So Putin's actual patrons in his rise may have been KGB all along.
It would also be nice if the people who support softer drug laws paid a tax for all the resulting urban blight, health bills, property crime, violent crime, addiction, mental health issues, death etc. that results from drug use.

Meteorologists targeted in climate misinfo surge
I totally agree with you. I guess Kemal will win this election but other side wouldn't accept this result.
No offense intended, but the second leg of cyberax’ point still stands — quoted below — higher percentages of the total jobs in a metro area are within the average range of an average US metro dwelling household also, as long as they don’t have to worry about costs of car repair and insurance.

If Paris’ airport built two new runways and they both filled up with international flights immediately, would this be taken as evidence that their construction was an irresponsible waste of scarce public investment? It would rather be celebrated as a validation of forecast utility to the public and to the economy. Same for urban condo buildings filling up. Yet American traffic jams are gross and different from runways? How so?

> Affluence definitely followed [as well as preceded; but, in any case, a set of feedback loops, not simply affluence preceding networks’ construction —-Ed.] the conscious policy decision to build a network of freeways and highways, with a focus on suburban lifestyle.

> 1. Have shorter commutes than Europeans. This _still_ holds true!

> 2. Be able to access more businesses within the "reasonable commute" range.

Could you elaborate about the alternatives to Erdogan and their thoughts?
I’ve been exclusively using email address(es) at my .info domain for over twelve years now. To my recollection, I’ve had issues due to the domain name exactly once, about two years ago; in that case it was a website with a bad email validation regex, and, being a web developer, I was able to bypass it, and the backend accepted it.

Now I do recall noticing things that would baulk at five-character TLDs once or twice more. (Actually-deployed stuff, this is—if I counted example email address validation regular expressions I’ve seen from Stack Overflow and similar and “see how good/bad/otherwise this LLM is”, it’d be quite a few more.)
> Could the fact that you are not expert at things be the reason you think you are learning from the chatbot?

So you assume if you are an expert at something you would be so well versed that you couldn't learn new things from a chat bot?

If this is the case, then I am not and will probably never be an "expert" by this standard.
With the sheer amount of affordable storage available to even individuals at retail, it's crazy how much database-integrated software doesn't have sufficient measures to undo changes. Every company I've worked at has had at least one issue where a bug or a (really idiotic) migration has really messed shit up and was a a pain to fix. Databases should almost never actually delete records, all transactions should be recorded, all migrations should be reversible and tested, and all data should be backed up at least nightly. Amazing how companies pulling in millions often won't do more than backup every week or so and say three hail Marys.
I have a really hard time understanding how this, and similar products like Scale Donovan make sense in a defense capacity. Even more so than previous AI waves, LLM's are highly non-deterministic and are way more suited to low-risk use cases (for now). I understand the appeal of giving more data-driven capabilities to non-analytical users, but when it risks returning hallucinated results that could lead to actual human casualties - that quickly crosses a line.

I have a ton of respect for both Palantir and Scale as companies - but this just looks like a cash grab race to see who can dupe the Pentagon the fastest into believing they need some technology that's years away from anything they should be using in practice.

No, you don't. You have an excellent propaganda and a totally chauvinistic attitude.
It's not a 80$ printer but damage to society, or if you find that exaggerated hurting and lying to customers.

Prison is hard, on the other hand let the scale of damage and intention decide.. more human would be just stick to penalties. They just must be high enough to hurt really, not ridiculous amounts you can price in. Like do it once and maybe get away with it, but do it twice or thrice and you will quite certainly bankrupt the company.
I wouldn’t discount all-in-one tooling. Look at a language like Rust — its std toolchain includes a doc generator, package creation, type system, linter, formatter, compiler, dependency management, etc. This makes for a very pleasant developer experience. JS has literally none of that, and yet has more strict runtime constraints. (E.g. if your user has to download your software every time they use it, it better download and be ready to use very fast.)

JS has nothing like that, and it has been cool to see more experiments around this type of approach. Many disparate tools and versions are hard to manage because there are so many permutations of options!
Sure, but the tricky part is when we apply that to non-biological intelligences. Or even non-human ones, and thus questions about bat consciousness. At any rate, there's lots of room for different positions on consciousness that don't have to invoke the supernatural.

It would appear that those guns are now turned against us so they can take our data and work and use it for free. Microsoft and openai are not training their models against their own products. Those are copyrighted.

But what we are told is that _our_ work is not copyrighted and they can just use it and sell it and profit from it. In return we will be “freed” of the burdens of our jobs and ip.

In effect this is reverse piracy.
About the time you fake a coup to clean house, you start getting the despot label bandied about. That, the ethnic cleansing, the antidemocratic reforms, the arresting and forcing out critics and opponents.

I actually don't think it's as difficult as people often suggest to write a doubly linked list in Rust (yes, I have done it and read Learning Rust by Implementing Entirely Too Many Linked Lists.). I think it's just surprising to people that something that's a CS101 data structure takes some advanced features to implement without locks.

But the thing is, you don't write C programs in Rust and you don't generally use doubly linked lists. (Linked lists turn out to be a very niche data structure that doesn't work well with modern CPUs anyway, but I digress.) You'd probably use a Vec or a BTree from the stdlib anywhere you're thinking of using a linked list.

So I don't think it's really the case that programs are significantly longer in Rust. Rust is more explicit, so you'll end up moving some things that existed as comments or documentation or just in your own head into code - that's a win that doesn't increase complexity, only exposes it. That program may look larger, but it's only because you can see it better.

It really depends on what those 10 tokens are doing. If I have a token that creates a new universe, seeds it with life, and creates the conditions for life to develop an optimal linked list - it might solve the problem in one step, but our atomic unit here is absolutely massive.

Similarly, if I compile a program to assembly I'll generally get many more tokens. But I can't really buy that I've increased the complexity of the program here.

I'm pretty satisfied with this understanding but I understand your desire for greater rigor.

Given the allure of using AI in the military for unmanned systems it’s not that far off.

With a lesser danger level, similar adversarial dynamics exist in other places where AI might be useful. E.g dating, fraud detection, recruitment
Good luck. We'll see what happens, but I don't think it will be as 'peaceful' or will go as expected either way. I hope I'm wrong.

You’re comparing a mountain and a molehill. Some conservative US states are attempting to curtail freedom of speech in schools and will likely fail ultimately. China arrests people’s family members who speak out against the regime.

It's hard to believe these days that Erdogan once was a pretty good leader. As the mayor of Istanbul he really helped transform the city in a good way (with enough exceptions, but still). But unfortunately he fell in all the traps that so many people that are given too much power for too long seem to do.
The lawsuit isn’t about tracking users. Pretty much every social media app tracks users, that’s how surveillance capitalism works.

The lawsuit is also not about whether China has access to US citizens’ information. And even if it was, why should I, as a US citizen, worry about that? They can’t put me in jail or fire me. If you’re an American, you should be worried about what the US government knows about you.

Anyways, the lawsuit is about an alleged backdoor. I can’t see how the plaintiff could know what present day code they’re running, and I can’t see why they waited so long to report it.
The IO at the time was terrible, also because,if memory serves me right, plenty of disks/controllers didn't support DMA transfers.

But if you had a few megabytes to spare for caching (not everybody did, for sure) the machines would be snappy, because the UI was.

The response I got from Bard:

The only animals that fit the description of having wings, no paws, and no eggs are bats. Bats are mammals, which means they give birth to live young. They also have wings, which are made of skin stretched between their elongated fingers. Bats do not have paws, as their feet are adapted for grasping branches and other objects.

Here is a step-by-step process for determining which animals fit the description:

1. Identify all animals that have wings.
2. Eliminate all animals that lay eggs.
3. Eliminate all animals that have paws.
4. The remaining animals are bats.

Here is a list of animals that have wings, no paws, and no eggs:

- Bats

It is important to note that there are some animals that may appear to fit the description, but do not. For example, some insects have wings, but they do not have paws and they lay eggs. Additionally, some birds have wings, but they do have paws and they lay eggs.
