Oh, sorry, I didn’t notice the date! The lockdown mode and e2e encryption were not available back then.

I didn’t see mentions of Canadian police hacking into the phone.

>> In fact, police obtained warrants to track his whereabouts using the GPS chip in his iPhone and obtain the identities of everyone he has spoken with and messaged.

But, yeah, the politico link that you cited clearly mentions that the Canadian government is a user of the phone hacking tools.
Yes? There are lots of variations of cancer, but it seems to be a well defined set of conditions. I don't think I've ever seen an argument over whether something is or is not cancer, or suggestion that such an argument could be made.

Our current methods of treating it treat it in a piecemeal fashion, targeting one variation or another, but I don't think it's unthinkable that you could managed to target and fix the entire set.
> sounds very similar to the arguments made against tests in a work setting

I tried to be clear about that. Sloppiness at work could kill someone or bankrupt the company. You're being paid to be a professional, so be a professional and write tests.

You only have so much free time to achieve your dreams. Cut every corner you can to make it happen.

Anyone have a good link to the recent article on how much industry is simply extractive of natural resources?
No, but a company-wide belief doesn’t matter. Some 200,000 lemmings can be mistaken, along with the chief lemming. Or all of them can be right.
The discussion here is regarding a particular opinion of a particular employee.

And what matters is how informed and honest that particular employee is. And if ultimately that employee is right or wrong. If there is some objective truth in his or her statement.

(And for a reference, I don’t think that these 200,000 Googlers or Lemoine were right or wrong, it feels like Lemoine was asking/answering a wrong question, which needs to be asked differently to have a well defined answer).

Hats is an internal motivational thinking device. Publicly, he'll always be the founder of Oculus, and his comments filtered through that lense. For better or worse he doesn't get the luxury of taking that "hat" off so whatever hat he's thinks he's wearing, it's the founder of Oculus hat, with all the acclaim, but also baggage that brings along.

> consumer cpus care less about virtualisation, high core counts, or having lots of memory, and more about single core performance and potentially not getting hot in your lap.

This goes with what I said in my original comment.
I wonder where we’d be if the idea of CPU-independent bytecode had ever really taken off - for example, the TIMI bytecode of IBM System/38 and AS/400, TenDRA TDF (aka OSF ANDF), WebAssembly. You could have an AOT compiler in the system firmware which the OS invokes, when a program is installed the OS uses AOT to convert it to the actual machine code, about which the OS might know nothing, and could vary incompatibly from CPU to CPU, even among different CPU models in the same family. (Maybe a JIT mode too.)

I guess JVM/CIL are somewhat similar, but at a much higher level - I’m not talking about garbage collection or type safety.

In some ways that is true of TIMI too - it is designed to support a capability-based operating system, and hence has some rather high-level instructions, although still not as high level as JVM/CIL - it was generally used as a compilation target for non-garbage collected languages such as RPG, COBOL, C/C++, PL/I, Fortran, BASIC, Pascal, etc - and hence lacks a garbage collector.
After reading 4 paragraphs of text, your first suggestion to OP is to acquire dangerous drugs? This mentality defies common sense, medication should be a last resort.
Well, at least under nominal supply voltage.
It will take 2 of those 5 years just to ascertain at what levels it is safe, and then another two years to determine whether it is better than the current standard-of-care.

While we're all desperate (some more than others) for a break-through in cancer treatment, it seems perfectly reasonable to demonstrate that something is both safe and better than the current standard-of-care before physicians start rolling this out to everyone affected by the brain tumours this therapy would help.

I sympathize with the sentiment that delaying rolling out a therapy like this seems inhumane, it would be no less (and arguably more) inhumane to roll out a therapy where we didn't establish safe doses and effectiveness to the best of our ability. Both potentially result in deaths.
> A) it's not a long list and B) it can be career limiting to speak poorly of anyone, so I don't think "no engineer has said bad things about him" is a fair assessment.

That's a fair statement, it could even be true. But the fact remains, what is confidently asserted by many lacks evidence to substantiate it.

> Once you get into the rank and file engineers, where the folks have a lot less to lose by speaking their mind, the praise has been much harder to come by, and you have incidents like at Twitter, where engineers called out Musk's apparent inability to comprehend Twitter's architecture, resulting in at least one heated exchange during a Twitter spaces chat.

I think it is useful here to refer to exactly what it is that you mean. I am aware of a few such instances, but the instances I am aware of are Musk being mostly right and the engineers in question being mostly wrong. Perhaps you are aware of different incidents.

> Also, not for nothing, but if you haven't seen any negative comments about Elon from "celeb" engineers, you should probably look up the stuff Woz has said about Elon, it's not all positive, at all.

Woz hasn't actually worked with Elon. Anyway in a cursory search, I can't find the quotes you seem to be referring to. I'm not disputing their existence, but a link would be helpful to make this concrete.
I would heavily disagree with that - the only reason that you think that is that GPT-4 is available to the public for cheap, whereas Deepminds models have not been released publicly.
Your model of RAPL's abilities is too limited. "PL1/PL2" is a thing that youtube reviewers have figured out, but it is a part of a larger picture. It does not make sense to discuss them without also discussing the time parameters. RAPL is able to hard-cap the (estimated) peak power consumption. If it lacked this feature, operating them at warehouse scale would be impossible.
> the remaining gap might be places where inline ASM or things like SIMD, AVX, etc, exist

This was one of the takeaways back in 2017 when Cloudflare sampled Qualcomm's very early Centriq ARM server chips.

> At Cloudflare we use an improved version of the library, optimized for 64-bit Intel processors, and although it is written mostly in C, it does use some Intel specific intrinsics. Comparing this optimized version to the generic zlib library wouldn’t be fair. Not to worry, with little effort I adapted the library to work very well on the ARMv8 architecture, with the use of NEON and CRC32 intrinsics. In the process it is twice as fast as the generic library for some files.

It has been invented. Toyon.
Unfortunately, it does not seem to. Others have mentioned how heating and cooling a private residence is more energy intensive per person, but even vehicle miles traveled aren’t reduced. It turns out people just drive to more places that aren’t work and move to more auto dependent communities where they overall drive more.

During the beginning of COVID, there was a big drop in carbon as more worked from home but it was mostly because people weren’t going anywhere.

"The vehicles included in this recall do not allow the driver to select a regenerative braking strategy, according to an announcement by China's State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR)."

I owned a 2020 Tesla Model 3. It allowed selection of braking options. Its lease expired and I owned a 2023 Model 3. It had no selection of braking options. I sold it as fast as I could.
I own a 2018 Tesla Model 3. It allows selection of braking options.

Regenerative selection is a deal-braker.
> "Greater access to the code behind generative models is fueling innovation. But if top companies get spooked, they could close up shop."

This has already happened. They've already closed up shop. None of the free ones are as good as GPT-4 or Claude or even GPT-3.5. The free small models will stay and will keep being refined but they will stay behind the proprietary ones powered by hundreds of millions of dollars of pre-training.
I'm not talking about who made changes to a document. I'm talking about the programmers who wrote the source code for the word processor and in particular the export to pdf feature.
That's your personal false interpretation of the text.

It's not actually true though.

Argue about reality, not your personal boogeyman.
I think this link posted above is the precise reason - there are already other ARM vendors in the server market with ballpark-similar performance, with better market placement and better business relationships. Nobody trusts Apple not to dump server again after XServe and nobody thinks they're a super great partner to work with.

https://www.anandtech.com/show/15578/cloud-clash-amazon-grav...

Why would Amazon choose to pay more for an Apple branded product when they could make a higher margin just doing it themselves? Hyperscalers are almost definitionally at the limit where scaling works and they have the volume to amortize some basic uarch work. And it'll be optimized for their exact PPA targets to make the lowest TCO/etc.

Beyond hyperscalers, why would anyone else choose Apple over Ampere, given Apple's general lack of commitment to the server market/open ecosystem/etc? What does the cost look like on this now/in the future? Consider what might happen after the relationship ends, friendly or otherwise - can you keep your business operations going in terms of procurement vs committed instances etc? What if they won't send you any more spares or won't sign some key structure for you (drivers/firmware, UEFI keys, whatever, idk)? Surely anyone involved would want to be super duper sure about this. But Apple has gotten bored and left this market before, and they're always the hot one in the relationship. They can find someone else today if they need.

I just don't think there's much of a market for this that wouldn't rather buy an Ampere or build their own clone like Graviton.
So... Sorry to continue off-topic... but I just looked at byyyy's about string. https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=byyyy

No you're right, they reportedly did not hack his phone to get the data - you're right!

My comment was more to mention that if a journalist of that guy's standing (he's basically quebecs top columnist) was not encrypting his stuff, ans that the police got to his sources, basically no source is safe.

I personally live with the acceptance that everything on my phone is public, and act accordingly, but I doubt most people reaching out to journalists-or even jouralista for that matter- have the same view.

So sadly, in effect, everyone is under surveillance, even if it's supposed to not be the case under the law.

It was also mentionned that rogue RCMP officers (FBI equivalent) spyied on a journalist without oversight - which rubs me the wrong way.
this is me, gpt has sort of fixed me by making it easier and faster to churn out an app before I get bored, but I'm also working on an ai app that's sort of become a passion. I just wish I had another dev to team up with, one with better nextjs/UI skills than me would be nice.

I think finding a real passion to go after can help stay focused, but I've started my app over life 4 times, modeling bits off many open source GitHub repos. im finally close to launching something.

Cost 2-3c per run, taking ~20 seconds each time, on fairly small prompts. So about the same as GPT-4?

Now this is a non expert just playing, it probably can be optimized by trying different GPUs and optimizing the code somehow.

I don't think you are using these models to save money, but you might be using them for tunability, privacy, mobility [1], secrecy or fun/research.

When I have x86 image of Windows/Linux, I can boot it on any x86 processor.

That is largely due to IBM choosing x86, and the PC taking off in a huge way with its de-facto "open" design that ended up being successful and kept backwards compatibility. One could easily imagine a world in which IBM chose ARM (and it was invented earlier) for its first PC, and proprietary x86 SoCs based on Intel's cores are everywhere instead. A world in which CISC is the new fad.

Note: Intel has non-PC-compatible x86 SoCs too.

Love the text-first aesthetic of this reader.

I would have liked to have used this, but I've come to the conclusion that the data model for bookmarking and sharing (all metadata being tightly coupled to the URL) doesn't really work in the age of highlights and comments. Taking a look at the sample page[1], there is no way I'm going to click through any of these without a reason.

I've been using a "content-first" data model both for knowledge management and my own RSS feeds[2] for the last few years that I'm very happy with. I think this might just be the kick in the butt that gets me to finally write an article about it.

> So a doctor could refuse to prescribe PrEP or treat STDs?

Only if the doctor felt that the treatment, not the illness, not the person, the treatment. Was against their moral beliefs.

The article lies and pretends it's about the person. This is not true.
Privatisation is founded upon this (false) conception. In short due to the (false) “unavoidable tragedy of the commons”, our only choice is to have assets either privately owned or owned by the state.

This was what was espoused by the (debunked) paper and remains a pillar of contemporary neo-liberal ideology.
> aren’t the inheritors gaining wealth they did not have before?

In terms of stocks and land, yes and no. They are receiving assets they did not have before, and those assets have a market value that is not realized until they sell them. They are receiving paper wealth, and while paper wealth can be beneficial (you can borrow against it), it is not the same as actual spendable cash. A government could tax them on the value of those assets at the time of transfer, but that may require the inheritor to dispose of some or all of the assets in order to pay the tax bill. Governments typically require their citizens to pay taxes in currency, not assets.

Note that governments do sometimes treat asset transfers this way (e.g. restricted stock awards), but they typically view unrealized gains as something to be taxed when they are realized (ie. converted to currency).

What's really beneficial with inheritance is the step-up basis. When assets get inherited, the cost basis is reset to the market value at the time of the transfer, which means taxes are never paid on any gains made between acquiring the asset and the death of the owner. So even if the inheritor sells them at a later date, they still pay substantially less in taxes than they would normally pay.
This is so weird, I was going to comment on a Jonathurn Turley article from The Hill but it disappeared before I could (about 15 minutes ago). Now this Jonathan Turley wikepedia article is here, like a glitch in The Matrix.

Preferring the active voice to the passive voice (to use the terms from formal grammar) whenever feasible is the universal recommendation of writing instruction in English, e.g. by everyone from Strunk & White to the Random House Handbook to George Orwell.

As noted by others in this thread, the active voice puts the focus on the actor, i.e. the grammatical subject. This lends the construction vigor. The passive voice, which puts the focus on the grammatical object, is weak and even dull by comparison.

As well, by diminishing the actor, the passive voice can serve to evade responsibility and accountability: "The campaign finance rules were violated by the senators." rather than the more pointed "The senators violated the campaign finance rules." This convenient effect explains the prevalence of the passive voice in bureaucratic prose, which was Orwell's particular bête noire.

The active voice is also less "wordy," which improves the vigor of the style. In the example I just gave, the word count is 9 versus 7. I achieved the lower count by removing an auxiliary verb ("were") and a preposition ("by").

Now, I could have written the previous sentence like this: "The lower count was achieved by removing an auxiliary verb . . ." etc. Here the passive voice is probably preferred, because the actor, "I", is not of significance, and may even distract.

The passive voice does have its uses, hence the caveat "whenever feasible" in the first sentence above.

if your process is “release often, but preserve quality by a staged release process (betas) in which power users can fix bugs before they reach the masses” then you’re pretty explicitly allowing bugs to be in the codebase transiently. combine that with projects of this era shipping with files like BUGS or ISSUES alongside their README or NEWS/release notes, and you have strong evidence that “transient” means “can knowingly be included in a release”. at that point it just feels false to read ESR as claiming anything strong like “with enough eyes the software will contain no latent bugs” (which i think is how one side of this thread is interpreting the essay?)
Nope. That will not work because the bill says services not people.

I believe you misinterpreted me. I was not making a judgement about how things should or should not be, just stating how things currently work out. The minimum wage laws don't affect gig workers diectly AFAIK. They should, but they dont. Because of this, absent other economic factors, people who are currently gig workers choosing hourly jobs instead of continuing as a gig worker. This will reduce the supply of gig workers to the companies employinh them. In order to maintain the number of workers they need in this situation, the companies will have to raise compensation to be in line with minimum wage, but this process will take weeks or months to happen.
