This isn't the first time spreadsheet errors have messed with election results.

It was a column error in tabulated election results that cause all the conflict in 2020 in Antrim county, Michigan. Any computer folks who took the time to read the report by an University of Michigan computer scientist hired by the Republican chaired bipartisan committee that the Michigan state senate would have seen that there was no vote fraud, but user error that got caught almost immediately in the accountability systems that were in place to catch any errors like that.

If we stopped trying to report election returns in real time like sporting events, and could be patient a few hours, we could avoid a lot of these highly divisive controversies.

I thought about that. Funny enough crypto and CCs are very much based on the same model.

CCs have chip mode. Chip mode transactions are impossible to spoof. They are one time transactions protected with nonces and very good cryptography. But CCs have a weakness when used online because you have to enter in your secret numbers to use them. When these secret numbers are entered into a fraudulent website, that bad actor now has access to your card _until the CC company stops it_, either at your discretion or their own.

Crypto is quite fancy, but you can’t solve wrench problems [1] with technical solutions. Consumers are still going to fall for phishing attacks, they will still accidentally loose their keys. The only difference is the consumer has no recourse. They are good and properly screwed.

Example: someone holds you at gunpoint and demands your secrets. With CCs you just hand them over, then as soon as you can call in and dispute all charges. If a guy with a gun demands your pub/private Keys, I’m not sure what you would do.

I supposed that is a boon for business, and business rules America, but unfortunately this is another problem that crypto does not solve.

Worth remembering that if in 2010 you claimed that the US government was spying on everyone via everything, you'd be called a conspiracy-nut, we now know that it was true, what so many people were claiming before that.

I agree that probably there needs to be more evidence than "trust me, I've done this for a long time" in order for us to assert there is extra-terrestrial intelligence. But, I wouldn't believe it's false just based on "it couldn't have been hidden for this long".

I largely agree, though using drag and drop with touchpads (or touchscreens) is a bit of a chore, as is with large or multi-monitor setups. Sometimes you have to pre-arrange your windows before you drag and drop or you run the risk of dragging and dropping in the wrong place.

> I can't imagine a company being so successful and so influential being badly run.

I'd argue this is a failure of imagination more than an endorsement of Twitter. Twitter has inertia - it's going to keep going until it literally can't, and that doesn't mean it's been run well.

It's been chaotic there since acquisition, with major policies being changed on a whim and then retracted and whole functions of the company disappearing entirely or almost entirely. Major news outlets are dropping their twitter presence, and stocks have dropped - if you define that as "good" management, what would bad management even look like?

There is also this - "intent to commercialize" would preclude most third parties.

The difference in how much effort it is to create a correct-looking/sounding answer without an LLM, and how little effort it is with e.g. ChatGPT. It's a force-multiplier on the side of people creating bad answers. Worse actually, "bad but convincing sounding answers", which drive-by voters are especially prone to misevaluate.
Totally agree with this. Why would any commercial ISP want to offer this as a service?

There was very little upside and massive potential liabilities because they were storing and supplying unmoderated content that in the very best case was pirated music and movies.

Embedding Hygiene-Compatible Macros in an Unhygienic Macro System: https://www.jucs.org/jucs_16_2/embedding_hygiene_compatible_...

Abstract: It is known that the essential ingredients of a Lisp-style unhygienic macro system can be expressed in terms of advanced hygienic macro systems. We show that the reverse is also true: We present a model of a core unhygienic macro system, on top of which a hygiene-compatible macro system can be built, without changing the internals of the core macro system and without using a code walker. To achieve this, the internal representation of source code as Lisp s-expressions does not need to be changed. The major discovery is the fact that symbol macros can be used in conjunction with local macro environments to bootstrap a hygiene-compatible macro system. We also discuss a proof-of-concept implementation in Common Lisp and give historical notes.

The code is in Figure 1, on page 10 of the PDF (p. 280 in the actual journal)

The definition of "security" is pretty objective (Howey test), but the answer it produces tends not to be liked by people in the crypto space, so they argue hard about why it's not a definition of security.

What quotes like these do is make it trivial to prove the mens rea (intent) requirements, and put a lie to claims that they didn't know it was a security or that their interpretation as not-a-security was reasonable.
And yet there is no clear definition offered by the SEC.

In dense urban cores, I think people (to the extent that they are able) can and will self select for what they prefer. IMO urban cores should be fairly hostile to cars, in order to maintain space efficiency and work well for the largest quantity of people. If you optimize an urban core for cars, nobody has a good time. If you optimize it for throughput, at least people walking, biking, and taking trains/subways can have a good time. It's just a utility argument, but that's where policy needs to step in to nudge us away from a local minimum of every individual city dweller wanting their own SUV.

There is endless suburban sprawl in the US that does accommodate cars, and people that feel the need to drive a massive vehicle are welcome there.

And this is coming from someone owning 7 cars living out in the sticks. But when I did live in Seattle the train and bike infrastructure made the city so much more livable when working downtown.
Right to repair isn’t about standardising parts though, it’s about preventing things that purposefully prevent repair with no other good reason. For example, in recent Macbooks the lid closed sensor is paired to the device so if you replace it yourself it will stop working. Only Apple has the tool needed to pair it to the device and make it work again. There’s no good reason to do that apart from preventing repair
Likely true, and more reason to keep them inside :)
The opposing viewpoint is that all the downsides that predominantly harm city living people are perfectly fine for the half of the country that does not live in a city to still occasionally go enjoy city stuff and have that parking be available.

They don't seem to understand that reducing cars in cities and dense areas doesn't stop you from driving your lifted 19 foot long bro truck in the suburbs.
This is just one example, but moves are always bitwise, correct? So if I want an object to track all users of it in C++, I can just make a smart pointer for it whose copy/move/destruction operations notify the object about each event. How would you do that in Rust? (Similarly, what if I want a relative pointer?)

Things were more complicated than that with Reddit from what I've read (and from a now defunct blog post they wrote not to mention various talks and interviews from devs who were there at the time).

Their devs were using Macs in 2005 which ran on PowerPC. Their servers were x86, but running FreeBSD (honestly, that was a tall ask for most languages in 2005). They had an issue finding threading libraries that worked on that OSX/PPC and FBSD/x86 combo. They further complained that there weren't tons of libraries available for use either. Finally, they also made some bad architecture decisions unrelated to Lisp.

The switch is still a weird one if you move aside from the new team not knowing or wanting to learn Lisp. Python isn't threaded at all, so they could have stuck with non-threaded CL and still have had 100x faster code. Likewise, they wound up rewriting all the python libraries they were using because those libraries turned out to have tons of issues too.

The fact is that until somewhat recently cars were very inexpensive compared to the income of most Americans.

Cars in Europe are a bit more expensive, and a lot more expensive in the third world. But in everywhere we always saw the same thing, as soon as people could buy a car, they would buy one.

And once someone has a car, they would also tend to move further to bigger places. Most people outside HN bubble like cars and their convenience.
Holy hell.
It's important to note that JS has an unfair advantage in that if you want to write code that runs on the universal platform, you're forced to use either it or something that transpiles to it. Python reached where it was on merits alone.

Me, I would love to see cars disappear tomorrow, but we have issues that is feeding each other, keeping transportation in the US static.

Public transportation in the US is pretty much non-existent, except maybe in and around New York City. In the area where I use to live, public transportation now is rather dangerous to the people using it.

I rode a bicycle to work for and lite errands for more than 30 years, and am probably still alive because of that. But I have been hit by cars more times then I can count (no serious injuries). And I was in rather bicycle friendly area. I spent some time in the Detroit area 15 years ago, the area I was in, bicycling there is a form of suicide. As I said before, Montreal, to me, is a bicycle commuter paradise.

So what can people do in the US ?

This is sort of what I've been trying to do with Marginalia Search, except I don't really believe a voting system would work. It's far too easy to manipulate. Been playing with the thought of having something like an adblock-list style system where domain shitlists can be collaborated on and shared without being authoritative for the entire search engine.

My search engine is still pretty rough around the edges and limited but I think it works well enough to demonstrate the idea has some merit.

Compare this with lisp, where there's one syntax -- compiler operations are "compile-time" interpretations of the very same syntax.

Or below, let's invent a language where there's (in my sense) "one syntax for everything",

Eg., consider something like,

const SimpleTrait = trait with:
val name

def GenericApiTrait(type T) =
return new trait with:
def response : self -> str

const MyAPI = GenericApiTrait(SimpleTrait(new class)) with:
val name = "World"
def response : self -> str = f"Hello $name!"

# later on, in the app,

def calc(x, y) : int, int -> int =
return x + y

# ie., the **same** syntax as that earlier which targets compile-time

Here you can see that code with ordinary run-time semantics is used for the compile-time operations of generating a trait and specifying that a class implements that trait (ie., we call the trait-defining function on the class).

Whereas in Rust, the syntax for returning values and "quantifying over types" is radically different.

This is the historical approach (C++, C# .. almost all langs) -- but not one modern innovative langs follow.

I think with as much desire for novelty rust has, cramming it all into its "compile-time syntax" has hobbled it.

A simple uniform language for both c-time and r-time could be used
