Just ignore it move on. There's no winning there. In the worst case, the company may try to file charges against you for computer abuse/fraud.

It's interesting that you chose Kleenex and Chapstick, because both are still protected trademarks in the US. Competitors to Kleenex still market themselves as tissues and competitors to Chapstick still use lip balm. If you try using the brand names on your Amazon listing or what have you, you'll get a cease and desist letter.
The fallback to polling is generally a good solution. I think the sorts of problems that dev ran into are very much the exception, not the rule, given the kind of absurd environment they were working in. Also worth calling out that LiveView was _very_ new when that post was made.

The latency issue is a real one. Long polling can also help there, but realistically if a substantial portion of your user base is on poor connections you’re going to be much better off with a traditional server rendered web application than something like LiveView or a SPA.

I’m not sure what you mean about cross-platform. LiveView is for building web apps, so there’s only really one platform to speak of: the browser.

You can STILL write React like you used to (with class components). There haven’t been any major breaking changes. The transition was very slow. It was only recently that they even changed the docs.

You’re complaining that they made changes to it half its lifetime ago after you walked away from it and now you can’t just go back to the way it was.
> Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war.

I don't care about the future of the human species as long as my mind can be reliably transferred into an AI. In fact i wouldn't mind living forever as a pet of some superior AI , it's still better than dying a cruel death because cells are unable to maintain themselves. Why is the survival of our species post-AI some goal to aspire to? It makes more sense that people will want to become cyborgs, not remain "pure humans" forever.

This statement is theological in spirit and chauvinist-conservative in practice.

ISRU - In-Situ Resource Utilization

The farther humans go into deep space, the more important it will be to generate products with local materials, a practice called in-situ resource utilization.

Lol yeah, I always reach for paperback books now since they're a great modern replacement for my Kindle.

On a more serious note, DuckDB is actually a pretty fantastic replacement for SQLite for some data analytics tasks. Hdf5 is still great for numerical data in this space though. I would welcome other options like the SQLite/DuckDB scenario for matrix data.

This is such a common problem these days.

You and I know this, but if you're not a security practitioner, you might not know. It might as well then be behind a door for a room with a sign that says "Beware of the Leopard."

I understand some scrappy startups like Google don't have the resources to have someone review security incident reports that come through a web form, but maybe they should if they want to be a legit cloud provider?

Googling "report google cloud security issue" does not turn up productive results. Compare to what you get when you google "report aws security issue."
I think you're basically correct. But wasm isn't tightly coupled with a single programming language, like Java did. Of course, other languages can target JVM too, but there's not much momentum there. With wasm, we have many different implementations written in many languages running in many different platforms. I think it's a good thing.

So is it safe to say then that you don't think tech companies fell for the forever fallacy?
It's arrived at through induction. Induction is logic involving probability. Probabilistic logic and predictions of the future are valid logic that has demonstrably worked in other situations so if such logic has a level of validity then induction is a candidate for refutation.

So we know a human of human intelligence can take over a humans job and endanger other humans.

AI has been steadily increasing in intelligence. The latest leap with LLMs crossed certain boundaries of creativity and natural language.

By induction the trendline points to machines approaching human intelligence.

Also by induction if humans of human intelligence can endanger humanity then a machine of human intelligence should do the same.

Now. All of this induction is something you and everyone already knows. We know that this level of progress increases the inductive probabilities of this speculation playing out. None of us needs to be explained any of this logic as we are all well aware of it.

What's going on is that humans like to speculate on a future that's more convenient for them. Science shows human psychology is more optimistic then realistic. Hence why so many people are in denial.
If the maintainer of a package trusts everyone on the Internet, then users who trust that maintainer (by installing their package) transitively trusts everyone on the Internet, which they might not have expected if the maintainer didn't declare this position upfront.

Maybe we need a way to declare in the package and repository metadata that the maintainer considers it world-writable and it shouldn't be installed or updated without very carefully reviewing the code of every new version.
Well problem solved then ! Just find a lot of water in space not too far from earth, or a cheap way to create it in orbit.
Still need clean room for humans that needed to operate it. If have completely automated it, then don’t need clean room on Earth. The vacuum chamber is cheaper than the laser. Both reasons are saving millions at the expense of billions.

Fabs are probably the worst factories to put in space because of how much human adjustment they require. Also, the equipment is expensive and delicate, and redesigning it to work in space would be enormously expensive. It would be ruinous to lose one. They require tons of chemicals to work, that have to come from Earth, and produce a lot of nasty waste, which still have to dispose of in space.
> JS engines do regularly have to contend with enormous JSON and do not generally display pathological behavior for large literals

Actually it’s common advice to replace very large literals with `JSON.parse(“…”)` because it’s faster according to Chrome engineers [1]. At Notion we did so for our emoji unicode tables for a noticeable time-to-interactive improvement over the large literal.

One of the things I've always been curious about - gravity is still very much exerting force on things in orbit, it's just that the object is moving along the perpendicular axis just as fast.

For someone smarter at physics than me - I get why this 'feels' like weightlessness/0G, but does it actually have that impact when it comes to physical manufacturing?

If it does, wouldn't terrestrial factories that have some sort of inertial roller coaster in them (akin to a vomit comet) be the cheaper/better answer?

EDIT: I think a lot of people are missing the point of my question here. Remember, objects in orbit are accelerating because they are changing direction.

This is different that being motionless in a far field with microgravity.

But in practice, does that acceleration matter for physical manufacturing?
> "The sexbots will get so good that real fluid exchange among humans will no longer be worth the effort."

I thought of that too actually. Seems much more plausible that some kind of ultimate AGI that wanted to end humanity would just oversupply humans on what they ask of it, like overfeeding a pet until it is too obese to move, or somehow otherwise coddle us to extinction. Humanity would beg for more even as it gasps out its last breath.

That the AGI doomer scenarios all sound like a bad rehash of Terminator or the Forbin Project with murderbots and nukes flying everywhere really says something uncomplimentary about the people who are worried about them.

jesus. Some folks seem harsh here. You have one life, you're allowed to think critically about it, and weigh if you're getting from it what you want, etc.

I humbly propose that you start planning your exit from your software development career. Not forever, but at least long enough to rack up one or two alternative careers.

OR! I propose that the explosion of your marriage (and everything wrapped up in that) is the real gravitational black hole in your life (in a good way and bad way) around which everything else revolves.

My marriage recently blew up catastrophically, and it devastated me. I'm still not even sure what 'back to baseline' would look like, but I feel (disappointingly) fundamentally altered as a person. I generally believe we're all malleable enough, but I've got a lot of work to do, to recover a version of myself where I generally enjoy my own company.

Save money, reduce expenses dramatically, once you're at a 15-month runway pull the plug and leave.
The 10 hour black video at least wouldn't use much bandwidth, assuming it's encoded well. Hopefully not too much power to decode it on the computer side for playback either.

> my mind can be reliably transferred into an AI

your mind can be copied, not transferred. Original mind will die with your body.
I'm not sure what your point is (or if you read my comment correctly). I definitely think that letting librarians make the decision is better than a law that bans all books with depictions of sex from all grades. I have read this specific book and I would have been on the side of allowing it in high-schools, but not junior highs. However, I can see how a reasonable person would disagree with me, and the most prurient parts of chapter 9 are no more titillating than my junior high sex-education class, which I recall as being less titillating than looking at pictures of topless women in National Geographic, and that was definitely available in the library.

"exude" isn't the right word here. In this context "exude confidence" mean "exhibits a high level of confidence".

"Instill" or "inspire" would have the meaning you're going for here.
While obviously Orin Kerr has far more background on these subjects than I do, I don't agree with his reasoning here. The fourth amendment requires police to get a warrant from a judge before performing a search and seizure[1]. The judge's job is to ensure the warrant application has ample justification and the scope of the search is reasonable by fourth amendment standards, and may put limits on this search (ex ante restrictions) as necessary to bound the scope to what is reasonable. The police have no authority to perform a search beyond what the warrant allows[1]. If they think the warrant is unnecessarily restrictive, the solution is to appeal. It is not acceptable to just ignore the restrictions because they don't agree with the judge. The police should be held accountable for going beyond the scope of a warrant even if a broader warrant that included their activities would have been a reasonable search.

So in this case, it would have been completely reasonable for the judge to authorize the police to spend as much time as they needed to crack the password, mirror the device, and then come back for another warrant to search the contents. But the judge's warrant didn't authorize that, and the evidence should be discarded for going beyond the scope of the warrant.

> the object is moving along the perpendicular axis just as fast

Orbit is free fall. It’s equally correct to describe a falling object’s weightlessness as moving as fast as gravity.

> get why this 'feels' like weightlessness/0G, but does it actually have that impact when it comes to physical manufacturing

No, it’s the first postulate of Einstein’s theory of special relativity [1]. Free fall and the absence of gravity are as indistinguishable as acceleration and the its presence.

> Are tech companies in the US making the same mistake?

Yes, but slightly different, because they're missing less of their "addressable market" than the Landon prediction was. Their addressable market generally being people outside of Asia who have lots of disposable income. People in Asia tend to buy homegrown products which approach or exceed the quality, are easier to get, and cheaper. People with disposable income outside of Asia still trend toward the Westerner morphology. Still it's amazing with all the East Asians in big tech companies, that so many domestic products seem ill-designed to fit them.

Meanwhile tons of my furniture and other items that are designed and manufactured in Asia and then shipped to the USA seem to be shrinking and I don't fit in so many of them anymore. Not sure if that's just selling cheap things that have less material/shipping cost, or if it's matching the optimal sizes for East Asians.
Sure, natural disaster occurs, then...maybe I have more things to worry about then having cash? If the POS is down at the store, the cell phone networks are surely down (since many POS these days are just cellphones attached to Stripe or similar), and I'm guessing your saying FEMA help won't come very soon, it will be everyone for themselves in the city? At least I won't be the only one suffering in such a DOOM scenario.

I also don't live in a place where natural disasters (like hurricanes) are very common. I imagine people in Florida or coastal Texas would have a very different view on things.
Is that simply "vibes"? In which way would one ground the category sentience?

It almost sounds like an argument from consequences:

> an information technology worker in New York City, has taken money out of retirement accounts three times since the 2008 recession. He withdrew more than $50,000 to pay credit card debts, tuition for his six children to attend a religious school and, most recently, an overdue mortgage. “It was really a choice of saving the present versus securing the future,” he said. “My situation wasn’t someone who’s frivolous. Expenses were just more than I was making.”

Raiding retirement accounts to pay for private school seems like a terrible idea. Credit card debt and overdue mortgage payments might be somewhat more understandable as reflecting a pinch of mandatory expenses growing faster than income, but I'm pretty sure that NYC public schools would provide an adequate enough education to not be worth the risk of having insufficient savings for retirement.

If you can't pay your mortgage and credit cards, I'd consider private school to be an extravagant luxury that you literally can't afford at this time.
It seems more like an exaggeration to me, an AI will always need the inputs that a human can generate with his own creativity. If something bad ever happens, it is for various reasons, three of which are vanity, naivety, and malice.
