> laws are not applied logically

The logical conclusion of that is that we shouldn't have any laws... Except it's not true. Of course laws are not applied strictly accordingly to the laws of logic, nothing is, but there is a relatively high degree of logic and predictability in the legal system.

That doesn't stop absurd rulings in some occasions. But from that concluding that "laws are not logical" is an overreaction.
Technical Due Diligence Checklist
Depends on the industry. ChatGPT output is horrendous on a lot of technical topics. Equally, whether a thought is something new and novel, and even demonstrating/documenting something new or interesting.
It seems the headline is a bit editorialized with 'Microchip' as he does not seem to have been involved with subsequent developments of the integrated circuit, what microchips commonly refer to.

Though, after checking, there apparently are no clear cut 'inventors' of the integrated circuit, which strikes me as a bit odd.
It's a good question with an unsatisfying answer. Networking is kind of difficult.

Sitting down with an RFC and coding up what it says is nowhere near as simple as it seems like it should be:

* RFCs are often ambiguous, I've seen teams implement a protocol in a way that certainly seems to follow the RFC but won't be widely interoperable.

* RFCs are often incomplete, many protocols are specified across a lot of different RFCs, and by different authors, so it's easy to miss important details or even whole RFCs exacerbating the above point.

* RFCs are regularly released as protocols evolve and invalidate older versions of the protocol (or early experimental versions of the protocol, etc) often. Sometimes the newest RFC does a lot of work to disambiguate what would be allowed by older versions see for example this recent RFC https://httpwg.org/specs/rfc9110.html

* Independent of what the RFC says, there's what Cisco does (or MS or Google or other large influential imlementors).

* A lot of protocol implementations don't implement the full protocol (that is various extensions or rarely used features).

* A lot of protocol implementations implement what the RFC says in the most commonly aggreed on way, plus a compatibility options for other commonly used implementations, plus some oddball interpretations of the RFC that the authors like.

* There's vendor-specific extensions.

* There's common but unspecified behaviors that implementations tend to converge on, but which aren't easy to intuit.

* There's implementations that handle mixtures of versions (e.g. implementations of http 1.1 that handle 1.0 or 0.9 just fine are common).

And so on. So to answer the question "is 'it's correct' worth mentioning?" - yes, something along these lines tends to be important.

Of course "what does correct mean" is a giant can of worms....

In the case of hyper I think it means: an attempt to be extremely precise in what is allowed (and as close to the disambiguated RFCs as possible), and strict as well - not being particularly loose in what it accepts as input. That's my interpretation anway.
Lots of comments that didn’t read the article...

I didn't read it either... because I'd read a bunch of other articles and watched videos about the problem a couple of months ago.

IMHO the root cause is that it's impossible with current legislation/courts practice to deter this kind of behaviour. Specifically:

* Many of the perpetrators are minors

* Stealing a car, depending on cirsumstances, is a misdemeanor

* There is no mounting of repeated offenses

* Police can't keep the suspects on custody for long and prosecution is overkill for the results

So more or less, stealing a car is free. And instead of fixing the above points (maybe Baltimore as a city can't do that on its own) the "solution" is suing car makers.

It's worth doing even if others don't. Especially for the wealthy countries -- the poor countries emit relatively little carbon per capita.

The new energy transition is from op ex to cap ex. Looks expensive in the short term but a big win in the medium and long term. Plus you get the benefit of reduced emissions. Sure, other people do, but even if you're selfish it's a good deal.
Im often wondering where are they going? People got to eat right? My best guess is that they are reducing expenses and in a two person household only one is working now and secondly some are making do with occasional gig work.

> Reading Jung I had the impression that the only meaningful interpretation of dreams has to be made by the dreamer

I don't believe that is the case. Jung himself made a delicious mis-interpretation of his dream -- it's in his [Memories, Dreams, Reflections] -- that fully exposed his blindspot in terms of self assessment. (In the dream, Jung enters the center of the circle and lectures (lol) the white haired dude in the center. I always found that very amusing and informative.)

--

p.s. found it - it's not exactly as I remembered it:

I dreamt that I was in an Arab city, and as in most such cities there was a citadel, a casbah. The city was situated in a broad plain, and had a wall all around it. The shape of the wall was square, and there were four gates.

The casbah in the interior of the city was surrounded by a wide moat (which is not the way it really is in Arab countries). I stood before a wooden bridge leading over the water to a dark, horseshoe-shaped portal, which was open. Eager to see the citadel from the inside also, I stepped out on the bridge. When I was about halfway across it, a handsome, dark Arab of aristocratic, almost royal bearing came toward me from the gate. I knew that this youth in the white burnoose was the resident prince of the citadel. When he came up to me, he attacked me and tried to knock me down.

We wrestled. In the struggle we crashed against the railing; it gave way and both of us fell into the moat, where he tried to push my head under water to drown me. No, I thought, this is going too far.

And in my turn I pushed his head under water. I did so although I felt great admiration for him; but I did not want to let myself be killed. I had no intention of killing him; I wanted only to make him unconscious and incapable of fighting.

Then the scene of the dream changed, and he was with me in a large vaulted octagonal room in the center of the citadel. The room was all white, very plain and beautiful. Along the light-colored marble walls stood low divans, and before me on the floor lay an open book with black letters written in magnificent calligraphy on milky-white parchment. It was not Arabic script; rather, it looked to me like the Uigurian script of West Turkestan, which was familiar to
me from the Manichaean fragments from Turfan. I did not know the contents, but nevertheless I had the feeling that this was "my book," that I had written it.

The young prince with whom I had just been wrestling sat to the right of me on the floor. I explained to him that now that I had overcome him he must read the book. But he resisted. I placed my arm around his shoulders and forced him, with a sort of paternal kindness and patience, to read the book. I knew that this was absolutely essential, and at last he yielded.

[I still find this highly amusing. Per my interpretation of the dream.]

p.s.s. to OP:

It's kind of a dark pattern to first grab people's intimate dreams and then tell them they need to download an app.
This is common in the US too, usually they need to file with their state. Going private will often remove the need to file publicly with the SEC though (though even then, that depends on things like how many shareholders there are, not the trading status as such).

Hmm, I wonder if advertisers are pulling out of twitter now that they can no longer guarantee brand safety because their products might show up next graphic videos of shooting victims. But hey, a bunch of active bots are probably making a ton of money for the site.

In Australia no-one ever discussing anything about current propsperity in the context of "disentangling it from the other major events like Covid and the war".

As I said, it’s basically on every post, even a non-political post like announcing that a new Twitter CEO has been chosen. I used Babylon Bee as an example because you said that you didn’t see this trend and mentioned that you read the Babylon Bee.
how about conduct yourself in a reasonable way where if everyone in the world read your text messages you wouldn't be fired or go to jail?

This concept may be put to the test once platforms like Discord leak all their data. It will eventually happen. Discord save everything forever and messages are only marked as deleted. They may even do voice-to-text transcriptions in the background as that is also easy to save forever. This probably also applies to Zoom and Slack, if not now then eventually. Slack had very weak controls for 3rd party integrations in that any employee could add random-integration but hopefully that has changed. I am curious how everything will play out.

All of this has been happening for a while now yet nothing changes. The US population has been mostly been beaten down and they know that they will be shot down where they stand if they rise up. We see it in the increased militarization of the police. In my opinion I think the US ends up like Brazil. Small well protected enclaves of wealth surrounded by oceans of abandoned poverty.

The thing is that it's not difficult to convey meaning and a sincere sense of gratitude to people even if you're looking a bit past their shoulder or whatever.
And the median family income of a U Penn undergraduate is almost $200,000 annually. Heck at Georgia Tech, where I went, it’s $130,000, and almost 1/4 of the students come from the top 5%. To put it another way—Musk’s level of family support is hardly unusual compared to that of the thousands of engineers who work for him.

Journalism at the national level is extremely competitive, and draws from a highly credentialed talent pool. The reason people with such credentials pursue such a low paying job is because their families are often quite affluent—they are often doctors, lawyers, etc.
In many cases this isn’t viable. On my car for for instance - a 2016 Subaru - removing the telematics module also disables all front speakers because the audio signal is routed through it.

Chomsky has responded to this in some interviews but he didn't make a good case from what I remember. If I remember, his argument was like 'airplanes fly but we don't learn about bird flight from studying airplanes' and 'submarines go in water but we don't learn about fish swim skills from studying submarines' so therefore 'even if llm is good at language its a computer and we dont learn human language from studying computer'.

OK I found Chomsky's response. I'm not sure it's the best url, it was the first one I found on Google. They refer to the piece we are commenting under directly (modern language models refute chomsky's approach to language) https://mronline.org/2023/04/24/chatgpt-and-human-intelligen...

Also the hacker news discussion of Chomsky's NYT piece https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35067619

I should add that I find Chomsky's takes on LLMs to be exceptionally bad. I'm not a Chomsky hater. I just think his LLM takes are super dumb. On the other hand, I'm not sure if his dumb takes on LLMs are relevant to the question of whether LLMs have refuted his 'approach to language.'
Note: the incarceration rates were much higher in the past and that's the basis of many of these claims. What you're seeing now is the political backlash from those rates. Many crimes aren't prosecuted and the cops often don't do anything. So it's not exactly fair to say that Baltimore has a high incarceration rate these days.

> Interesting, I'm curious about the details here. Does the lb reuse connections for multiple requests or something?

I'm curious too. There must be more to it than that because LBs reusing backhaul connections is standard practice. It's not only an optimization but in many cases you'll quickly hit ephemeral port exhaustion if you don't. TCP connections are distinguished by (src_ip, src_port, dst_ip, dst_port) tuple. For this leg you're probably only varying the src_port portion, and all of the valid options are cooling in time_wait state.

I don't know the solution because the problem is huge, but my strong suspicion is that focusing on industrial efficiency is the largest needle we can move. Specifically, making it economically sensible to use green technologies in developing countries.
For HTTP, being pedantically correct is a tradeoff. On the plus side, you prevent weird potentially unexpected behaviors by cleanly rejecting off-spec behavior instead of accepting potentially broken input and seeing what happens.

But you also can't interact with everyone else anymore, because a whole lot of people run slightly off-spec software, successfully, and sometimes without knowing it.
Austin startup accelerator Newchip collapses amid bankruptcy, takeover attempt
Although I lived in the US for just a year, my impression was that a) US promoted an all-or-nothing culture, and b) crime, especially gun-related crime, was wildly glorified.

My layman belief is that this isn’t just a law and order issue. Its a cultural dysfunction.
With declarations which are promises from the programmer to the compiler (I promise this is true, on penalty of undefined behavior), you can fix a lot of "stupid dynamic".

Python could have a declaration which says, "this function/module doesn't participate in anything stupidly dynamic, like access to parent locals". If it calls some code which tries to access parent locals, the behavior is undefined.

That's kind of a bad thing because in Lisp I don't have to declare anything unsafe to a compiler just to have reasonably efficient local variables that can be optimized away and all that.
Every single electrician I know is familiar with galvanic corrosion as well as how to mitigate it with insulation, dielectric grease, sacrificial anodes, etc. Steel and aluminum are the two most common metals that we use to make things. Galvanized steel has a zinc coating that acts as a sacrificial anode, almost any steel that is installed outside that isn’t stainless is galvanized.

You're going to want to start with the PCAWG consortium, who looked very closely at viral involvement across a host of cancers. Their numbers:

Cohort: 2,658 cancers across 38 tumor types
Findings: Overall, 23 virus genera were detected across 356 patients with cancer (13%)

You can read all of the details here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8076016/

I'm not saying that there aren't other mechanisms (sustained inflammation, etc) that might contribute to the aetiology of some other cancers, even without clear viral integrations, but we can state pretty strongly that many cancers are not directly caused by cancer.

is there evidence that car thefts are higher due to Kia, or due to lax enforcement? I suspect it’s a bit of both and Baltimore is trying to pin it all on anyone else but them.

I had the privilege of taking one of Strang's classes a few years back. He is still incredibly sharp, and has a great sense of wit.

During one lecture, he was half way through solving a problem on the board when he jumped straight to the final answer. He then turned to us, and with a deadpan delivery said:

"We haven’t proved it, but that’s okay, we only live so long."

And then he moved on to the next problem.

I've quoted that line a lot since then.
Yeah, sure. But why would I put effort into providing the dependencies to Pharo on silver platter? I engaged here just to show that it, indeed, doesn't work for me and I'm not misrepresenting anything.
