> The latest estimate comes as Republicans and the White House are trying to reach an agreement to raise the debt ceiling and avoid a crippling default.

Read that twice. Imagine you weren't familiar with the Republicans' position. You'd think they're wanting to raise the debt ceiling. The NYT should do better.

That aside, this is once again great and classic W.DC political theatre. Unfortunately, it's just as effective at further eroding The Public's trust and confidence. And soon we'll blame you know who for these shenanigans? With a fair number of the shallow-minded voter buying the bridge? How is any of this a good thing in the current sociopolitical context?

The truth is, an embarrassing high percentage of the country lives paycheck to paycheck. They're struggling to get their credit card debt under control. Etc. And here is Uncle Sam *once again* peacock'ing his collective dysfunction? Shamelessly?

On social issues I tend to lean left, but I can't find any good reason for fiscal recklessness or the fruitless status quo politics that comes with it. Your best offer can't be a persistent circus and expect everyone to remain tolerant of such cluster fuckery.

> It's better to get something to work first and then optimize performance later than the other way around.

As far as I gather that is one of the issues why Rust is slow to compile. Fast compilers were usually built with performance in mind from the very start while rustc was first made work and then optimized.
You can install Acrobits Groundwire or Bria. Those support PUSH notification for incoming calls. Push is better than missing calls because the app got killed, or forcing the app to run 24/7 and severely shortening battery runtime.
But the call quality will never be as good as the native phone app as that gets QCI prioritization.
I became significantly happier by spending most of my free time walking the same 20 km route every weekend. I was miserable significant portion of time on most holidays i took abroad, because they either involved following orders (on organized trips), or were stressful (because I had to organize stuff for myself and others) in unknown environment. Not my cup of tea.

Another thing is that paying a lot for a short experience puts me into a specific mindset, that I hate.

Also - one indication that you're unhappy in general is that you will pursue more and more intense recreation during the time you have free to compensate for all that sucks and to escape from your problems.

Different people have different needs and the split isn't "possessions vs experiences". Also as the article noticed - possessions boil down to experiences anyway.
I'm not saying the conclusion they're cheating is wrong - in fact the threshold is way to generous, but fundamentally the statistical model he's picked just isn't a good fit.
I actually run 7962g + FreePBX too, using sccp_manager and phone-integrated SSL-VPN. It took more hair pulling and shady patching than the SIP route, but now I can make intercom calls over the Internet! That way I don't need a direct L1/L2 link between "offices". Solves NAT problems too, because it's all in-band signaling and media transport over single TCP connection.

The main competitor of Rust for writing browsers is C++, and its compilers don't have in-unit incremental compilation. So that's why Rust didn't start out with incremental compilation, but it was added later on, so now you do have it (although it could be improved in many ways).
But I do hate the game. Why are we letting natural selection control our societies?

The only thing I have to add: if you need to make telephone calls, the call quality using a SIP phone is much better than using a softphone.
> It is very hard though, things take longer to do - it’s like I have ADD now or something? I have constructed some compensatory strategies, but yeah… it is hard. Hard to explain but it’s definitely a real thing and especially if I don’t get enough sleep.

Oh my God, the hit to executive functioning is real. And I had zero compensatory structures in place: I specialized in Linguistics and spent most of my high school + undergrad years in language classes, which meant I had an insane memory and was used to relying on it. Also the emotional lability sucks: I cry and laugh in odd situations now and it's so detrimental to being taken seriously.

I'm sorry to hear about your sight: Given how much you relied on it, that has to be a loss. (My vision always sucked - I had eye surgery when I was 3 - so I actually had a bought of optic neuritis and didn't know because 'eh my eyes are always fucked up').

I absolutely agree we can't let MS control our lives. My purpose for downshifting is because the diagnosis shook my worldview enough for me to consider what I actually valued and therefore center it. In my case, I'm a librarian/archivist who's likely to be one of the last people living with a memory of the beginning Web + some of its predecessors (I'm female and from a family with multiple supercentenarians - I have a fair shot at making it to the Web's 100th anniversary) and I think that the training and first-hand knowledge to sort through and add context to what we have from those eras (especially pre IA and Google) is going to be very important but also that interest isn't going to really pick up for another ~30-40 years, so my third responsibility is to live a life that maximizes my odds of living and functioning into my 80s+. First is my own wellbeing and second being that of my family/people.

My diagnosis also completely shattered my worldview and I've had to rebuild my values and morals from the ground up and it turns out that a lot of the goals I used to have are odious to me now.

Assuming the Bitcoin mining network as a reference to the state of the art:

It would cost around a million US $ just for the cost of the electricity (8 cents per kWh) to impersonate you (1024 bit DSA). That could also lead to a MITM attack.

To attack the encryption directly would take 65 billion $ in electricity alone. So fairly unlikely.

So you would have to ask yourself what your messages are worth should you use OTR...

The Last Letter of Major Sullivan Ballou
There's a balance between the two and that balance shifts based on product/project requirements. I can't imagine anyone writing a slow browser engine and being like "yea but we will make it fast later!", Screen tearing, 5second plain text page loads, etc don't make for compelling demos. Similarly for an OS or a database you can't have it be below some reasonable performance threshold even in prototyping. Otherwise you aren't even solving the problems, the apparent remaining 10% of the work basically demands a complete rewrite plus many new feature editions - ie youve done nothing.
> Assign a confidence level to segments of generated text.

Text generators are not reasoning machines. To assign a confidence level, you need a tree of facts and deductions. This is what you can get from an expert system.

With an expert system, you can in principle ask the system to explain its reasoning, and assign confidence to each step. ML systems are black boxes.

Expert systems are hard to train; you need a human expert, and probably a specialist in the expert system sitting beside him. And it takes a lot of work - so it's expensive.

I can imagine a hybrid expert system/machine-learning system, where the ML system is used to distil the expertise that is then used by the expert system to construct decision trees that are not opaque.

I wish a fraction of the money that gets thrown at LLM "toys" were instead invested in expert systems. I think expert systems research became unfashionable around the end of the 1980s, which is a crying shame.
How much cheaper can they get? Most laptops have CPUs/boards with integrated GPUs, and desktop GPUs can be bought for very cheap, as long as you don't buy the latest greatest edition of everything.

Don't hold your breath. They've had a incredibly disappointing track record with Tinkerboards. Taiwan and Japan .. have a horrible record with open source as far as I can tell?

Random-Access Infinite Context Length for Transformers
Apple Silicon Macs have special matrix multiplication units (AMX) that can do matrix multiplication fast and with low energy requirements [1]. These AMX units can often beat matrix multiplication on AMD/Intel CPUs (especially those without a very large number of cores). Since a lot of linear algebra code uses matrix multiplication and using the AMX units is only a matter of linking against Accelerate (for its BLAS interface), a lot of software that uses BLAS is faster o Apple Silicon Macs.

That said, the GPUs in your M1 Mac are faster than the AMX units and any reasonably modern NVIDIA GPU will wipe the floor with the AMX units or Apple Silicon GPUs in raw compute. However, a lot of software does not use CUDA by default and for small problem sets AMX units or CPUs with just AVX can be faster because they don't incur the cost of data transfers from main memory to GPU memory and vice versa.

> The rewrite failed

What rewrite are you talking about?

Servo was never intended to replace Gecko, so it can't be that.

Servo was always in Rust, so you're not talking about a rewrite there.

Servo delivered on its promise to be a sandbox for experiments that might end up in Firefox, so surely you're not talking about that either.

Mozilla, famously, made multiple attempts to update Firefox's rendering engine to take advantage of multiple CPU cores that had to be abandoned before they switched over to Rust and started to see some success.

>Parallelism is a known hard problem, and the CSS engine is very complex. It’s also sitting between the two other most complex parts of the rendering engine — the DOM and layout. So it would be easy to introduce a bug, and parallelism can result in bugs that are very hard to track down, called data races.

DMCA 1201 is good law in France. America conditions trade agreements upon countries adopting equivalent language to 1201 in their local law. In the case of France, the EU Copyright Directive has had 1201-equivalent language in it since the early 2000s.

Even if it wasn't good law in France, Steam is a US platform, there is no "French Steam". You need something entirely owned and operated by non-US individuals to even have a chance of escaping US jurisdiction. Chinese domestic equivalent services would be your best bet these days, except now you have to deal with China's censorship machine, which makes the censorship[0] of not being able to release encryption keys for old videogames look like nothing.

[0] US courts have categorically rejected the argument that copyright infringement is free speech. In fact, they seem to believe the opposite: that artists not being paid in monopoly rights is censorship, and that the 1st Amendment has a sort of ROBOT9000[1] rule where copies aren't speech.

The EFF has 1st Amendment challenges to DMCA 1201 specifically but I do not expect them to be successful.

First sentence:

> An argument from authority (argumentum ab auctoritate), also called an appeal to authority, or argumentum ad verecundiam, is a form of argument in which a claim made by an authority on some topic is used as evidence to support one's own claim.

Further down:

> Historically, opinion on the appeal to authority has been divided: some hold that it can be a valid or at least defeasible.

You seem to be arguing for appeals to authority as defeasible.

Incorrectly understanding the authority you are quoting shows how problematic it is to make pure appeals to authority.
It's kind of related, isn't it?

> “Romantic poetry was unruly, dynamic, alive and forever changing, they believed, and should not be corseted by metric patterns because it was a ‘living organism.’” According to Friedrich Schlegel, “it should forever be becoming, never perfected.”

The idea of having prototypes and no classes rhymes with forever becoming whereas classes are aligned with reasoning.

>The Enlightenment’s emphasis on reason rather than feeling, Schiller claimed, had led to the excesses of the French Revolution.

The french revolution being driven by class consciousness.

The following sentence is strange, though:

>“Utility is the great idol of our time, to which all powers pay homage.” Beauty, on the other hand, leads to ethical principles, and art, as its vessel, makes us better people as well as wiser ones.

When beauty is truth, how is it distinct from reasoning?

>He was a key figure in the Jena thinkers’ attempt to fuse the scientific and the emotional, art and nature; he preceded Keats in judging truth to be beauty, beauty truth.

I would love to see an approach to build AI programmatically. Instead of training NN, why not use the analytical foundations of the philosophers to create it? A language like Self, or its relative Javascript, could be the tool to create a self in a machine.
I don't get how people find nix useful. Setting up a python environment, for example, is a total nightmare. Nix lang itself seems completely unnecessary.

There is SIP and XMPP, but they may be overconvoluted for what I am trying to achieve. Namely, I am not aiming at internet universality (no IPv4 sharing abomination built into the protocols).

I am looking at a modular set of protocols built mainly for IPv6.

The base: the "telephone number" would be ipv6:port. "Ringing" and video/audio streams setup would be done here. End to end encrytion right from the start (only manual key exchange, zero automatic, even before ringing).

On top, a "comfort protocol"(one level of indirection) for those changing ipv6, but not "accutely roaming", namely changing ipv6 while in a video/audio call: a "DynDNS" but simpler, more a "current IPv6:port of 'name' kind of thing", "address book with a drop of dynamic", "name@server" and you get the current ipv6:port. Unfortunately, it means "accounts" and real time updates. Of course, "server" could be a local/dns/ipv6. I am thinking zero password, only a public key.

For video/audio streams, I may not bother and go TCP. The main constraint would be the timing information shared among video/audio streams. No "internet weather" dynamic reconfiguration.

I even consider going "horribly horrible" for internet: idiotic binary based instead of text based protocols.
Unless it happens on their own platform, then they dont care

Are there rules about investigation? In general, if someone makes a claim, it invites testing.

The consent forms are likely friends, so calling to ask questions about the experience should give you an idea of what to believe.

The outcome can be your decision. Meet with the student and tell them their degree is in jeopardy and use it as a teaching lesson, or prove to them that they can get away with believable lies as long as no one has the courage to catch them. Your colleagues should have some insights, as well.
As this sentence immediately follows a paragraph introducing the new standard, I would probably go with something like "The affix '1450' is used to designate those monotype fonts which have been specially adapted to these recommendations."
