Hm, I'm not so sure. If you tell ChatGPT that good code has something wrong with it, it will overcorrect by modifying the working code, usually making it worse or even breaking it!

IMO, this is where you need a human in the loop, to recognize the deficiency and tell ChatGPT what to correct. Maybe in GPT-6 that won't be necessary and human programmers will be obsolete, but not today.
my assumption is that they are executing on a game plan towards that exit (lock down any revenue "leakage", revisit any monetisation options that were held back, reduce costs etc.)

ofcourse nobody can guarantee that they will execute well, that the outcome will not be a disaster even if well executed or that there will be a willing market at the end :-)

but that plan will go ahead irrespective of user action.

> The religious right in the US just wants to suppress it out of ignorance

I tend to agree that the religious right in the US is a legislative force that does more harm than good, and that many people who campaign against drugs don't have a solid understanding of drugs or drug culture. However, I don't think that it's ignorant to want to suppress drug culture (either in the media or in real life), and I think more religious conservatives have experience with addict family members than you think.
Both of you are saying quite similar things. I don't think you disagree. The parent was clearly not speaking in the literal sense.
I've used reddit regularly for 14 years and have never been banned from any sub. I share Eisenstein's assumptions. Also, having looked up what r/nonewnormal was, I don't fault any mod for noticing a pattern and trying to save themselves some trouble, even if casting a wide net has false positives.

Good point, I ninja edited just before you posted to say that a chunk of them have been mislead by televangelists and such.

If the loop uses loop_variable within its body this can cause a data race. Imagine:

for (...)
{
int x = array[loops[0].loop_variable];
array[loops[0].loop_variable] = calculation(x);
}

If the loop_variable = limit from another thread happens after the array read but before the write you get corrupted answer, not just incomplete one.

How do you work around that? Storing a copy and only using that? Or does it not matter in your usecases?

The original code (which desugars to the snippet you posted) is:

fn two_phase(mut x: Vec<usize>) {
x.push(x.len());
}

This should clearly be accepted (this is self evident in my opinion); if you need to jump through loops to write code like this then the language is too restrictive to write normal code.

The standard implementation of Rust does indeed accept this, and there is no soundness hole here.

The existing semantics for aliasing and borrowing from MPI (Stacked Borrows) don’t allow this, which means the semantics are overly restrictive; we want this to be accepted.

This work “fixes” this issue by extending the semantics to admit the behaviour exhibited by the standard implementation.

The rules for the borrow checker are not fully formalised and to some extent the rustc implementation is the specification; formalising the rules (i.e. RustBelt, Stacked Borrows, etc.) is important, but we don’t want to formalise something that is strictly more restrictive than the reference implementation, especially if there’s no soundness hole.
Ask HN: How to Find an Accountant / CPA?
I've called around to a few local accountants who all seemed to be lacking in their knowledge of startup / SaaS taxation, or seemed otherwise uninterested in my business. Any advice for finding an accountant / CPA who is both knowledgeable of technology / startups / SaaS, yet can also handle the details about my specific geography (I am not in Silicon Valley, so while I could find a national / SV accountancy who satisfies the "knowledge of tech" requirement, they would likely not know much about taxes in my area).

FWIW, I am operating as a single member LLC for now as I am not going for a huge VC-backed idea at the moment. I understand that this is treated as a disregarded entity for federal purposes, but need advice for state and local taxes / sales taxes.

Then there is the question of "is a CPA or a lawyer the more appropriate person to ask about X?". For example, do I need to register for a county vendor's license if I sell software as a service? Would a CPA know that or is that more of a lawyer question? The county laws written in 90s-tech-inspired-legalese on the topic are unclear to my layman brain.

Bonus points for good questions to ask as tests when determining who to work with. Extra bonus points for how much you pay for your accountant.

> because those users are almost by definition power users

Why is this the case and being repeated everywhere by everyone?

Reddit originally didn't have a mobile app and only third party clients existed. Everyone who wanted a mobile experience was using a third party app. Many of those original users never switched to the official app. How are they power users by definition?
On the app I'm writing, blocks are private. Only the blocker knows they have blocked someone. If they block, they disappear from the other member's view. It's as if they didn't exist.

As mentioned, someone can figure out that they've been blocked, but they can't be certain. There's no way to know who another member is connected to. That's also private to the member, so the logging in as an anonymous user can see that you are available to unblocked members, but not who you are connected to. You can infer that you are blocked. Also, nothing is truly public. Only members can even see other members, and, currently, every member request is vetted by a human. We're not going for scale, which means that getting that sockpuppet account might not be so easy.

That's mainly because of the demographic we Serve. There are quite a few dangerous people, therein, so we need to be pretty circumspect about privacy and security. We make sure that every member has full control of their privacy and data, and we also default to the most secure. No dark patterns to trick people into divulging information.

That said, it's a simple community app, so we can't throw too much friction into the way members interact with each other. If someone is really worried, they shouldn't use our app (or any other social media app, because ours is more anal than most).

Disagree with this for lots of reasons:

1. First, look at the incentive structure for being a mod of a large subreddit: it's a ton of work, with people constantly bitching at you, for no compensation. The vast majority of people with a life are not going to want to do this. So of course it appeals to people who can power trip off it, and I can't see those dynamics really changing. I do think that reddit should change the rules to make it easier for particularly egregious mods to be voted out by the subscribers of a sub, but that's a relatively small change. For example, some of the r/lgbt mods were notorious assholes, which is why some people split off to make r/ainbow. Should be easier for subscribers to essentially "impeach" shitty mods.

2. "If it actually impacts revenue the admins will just ban a few dozen mods and the protest will, effectively, be over" People keep saying this, but I doubt it. The vast majority of reddit users, at least in the subs I've seen, support this - a bunch of the subs even had polls to ask what they should do. It's one thing for the admins to remove mods who are acting against the wishes of most is a subs' subscribers, but I think it would be total chaos if they tried to replace mods specifically to get their way WRT to the API changes.

At the end of the day, reddit is nothing without it's community. Company management can only go so far before it kills the goose that laid the golden egg.
The policy seems to have originally been enacted in response to a disastrous 2016 exam (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/jun/21/algeria-shuts-...), where the questions leaked online and over 3/4 of the students had to do a retake.
Safety of systems isn't binary, so what's the risk profile?

Newer medical treatments have higher risk, just like experimental transportation methods carry greater risk.

Everyone gets sick/injured and everyone needs to get around, so some suffering in the name of advancing these endeavors seems both inevitable and tolerable. The question is to what degree?

Controlling access to and fallout from these automated driving systems is a temporary priority since the roads they're testing on are far more 'public' than an individual's body undergoing new medical treatment, but the long-term priority must be on getting the systems as safe or safer than other human drivers on aggregate. That will happen, sooner or later, and I'd rather see it sooner as long as the cost of the race isn't catastrophe. The only way to advance is to let it learn...
Back in 2015/2016 parts of the exam got leaked on Facebook and resulted in a lot (>10,000) students having to redo the exams because of it. Ever since then internet restrictions come around the bac and everyone is aware and just plans around it. I had a family member who had to retake it and they were beyond furious. Prepping to take their bac was a big undertaking and very stressful.

I don't agree with the internet shutoff, but I can understand where it's coming from and hope that they figure out a better way to solve the underlying problem.
IIRC, this is still true if you exclude the spike protein and use a higher similarity threshold.

Why would one do that? Well, two reasons. First, the spike more variable as it is subject to greater evolutionary pressure as the major component of the viral surface. Second, in coronavirus reverse genetics typically the virus is segmented into multiple pieces, most of which compose the non-spike backbone and a subset which compose the spike protein. This is intentional to enable the swapping of spike proteins. So, if SARS-CoV-2 is spike-swap or spike variant assembly, a RaTG13-like virus could be the "backbone" of SARS-CoV-2.

Moreover, a hypothetical SARS-CoV-2 backbone could exist in the viral sequences list the WIV took down in Sept. 2019. They sequenced RaTG13 a few years prior. The lab's raison d'etre is collecting and sequencing coronaviruses poised for spillover. And, with modern DNA synthesis technology, it's not difficult to print out arbitrary backbone contigs for a viral assembly.
So, anybody and everybody should be able to live in Monaco?

It's just unrealistic for a finite resource such as a location to accommodate anybody who could possibly want to live there. That's why desirable places are expensive.

Interestingly, I've found Lemmy to be surprisingly engaging and active after just a day of Reddit Migration. Sure, there's still a lot of "Reddit sucks" posts, but certainly not all, or even close to the majority.

I was on Mastodon for the Great Twitter Migration of Nov. 2022, and yeah... it was pretty hard to watch. Never have used Twitter, but I saw a lot of Twits struggling with Mastodon. I don't think the migration went well. The Twitter experience didn't translate.

Reddit, I think is a more traditional forum. And that does translate well. There are hundreds of threads with hundreds of comments on Lemmy, and it's really the same experience as Reddit. Reddit users find Lemmy familiar in a way that Twitter users did not find on Mastodon.

If the self-help/productivity literature and media sector is any indication, normal human beings can't actually control themselves all that well.

This approach has a long and tried history in the western culture too, at individual level - from the story of Odysseus having himself tied to the mast of his own ship, to the guy advising US nuclear strategy during Cold War writing a whole book extolling the idea of gaining the upper hand by voluntarily giving up all control over a situation.
> The minimum theoretical energy to liquefy hydrogen from ambient (300 K, 1.01 bar) conditions is 3.3 kWh/kg LH2 or 3.9 kWh/kg LH2 with conversion to para-LH2 (which is standard practice) [1].

https://www.hydrogen.energy.gov/pdfs/9013_energy_requirement...

It is not guaranteed to be 30%. And you're entirely basing your argument on the idea that batteries will get radically more advanced, while hydrogen technology will not. What happens when Toyota makes a Corolla powered by hydrogen at the same level of cost and the fuel is basically free (made from excess green energy)? Will BEVs really have much of a future in that scenario?

I'd still argue that you're not free if the government can just seize your things when you have not broken any law, and don't feel like that's a high bar.

Anyone can start a subbreddit. And in your subreddit, you can do all the work it takes to create a community, and then you can ban people for whatever reason you want and feel that tasty power that the mods love so much, and see how awesome it is to get cursed at, told how terrible you are and how much your community sucks, and how they are going to dox you and plant meth on you so that you lose custody of your children.
You're missing something lost in translation. It's not "all of San Fransisco" that is putting their faith in a "hero". It's a development.

In the US, it's common to have a major store people want to travel to (here IKEA, or a big Walmart, in the past it might have been Macy's) "anchor" a commercial development. A bunch of smaller ancillary stories and food places are built around the same parking area or indoor mall, in the theory that the foot traffic will drive business.

Also, a large, reliable renter makes the project financing smoother. There's (almost) no risk IKEA will stop paying for their space compared to "TigerTeamX's Emporium".

What the article is therefore claiming is that "if a giant commercial project with an IKEA fails, then no large commercial project is likely to be able to succeed".
