I think almost anyone that ends up in jail is somewhat mentally ill. I've seen various statistics concerning the mental illness of confined persons, but the percentages seem low compared to my personal experiences from being inside.

Most sane people will not commit a serious crime or put themselves in a position where they are arrested and have to fight to prove their innocence.
I think it’s ‘thermally limited and a few years old’ which makes it a bit slower than I expected. I’ll accept that ‘old’ was a bad characterisation.
As a hosted lisp, it doesn’t take much to keep Clojure usable. I don’t think it will be forgotten, but the ship has sailed on becoming mainstream.
This is FUD, and saying "This is a confession to a crime, just so you are aware." is really an overly strong statement that is not warranted.

Yes, the CFAA is famously lax in what it's definition of "unauthorized access" is, and I know in the past some idiot politicians have tried to prosecute for a journalist clicking "view source" to see the HTML of a webpage, but one shouldn't confuse prosecutorial misconduct for "confessing to a crime". There is nothing in the statement that you are replying to that says that the user actively broke access control.
Most cable modem users in north america are in the same situation. And small shops usually have a business package with a static IP too.

I don't understand the point keyboard warriors who insist IP doesn't identify a person and IP isn't PII are trying to make.

Are they just being pedantic? Because yes, often an IP is shared. Yes, obviously the legal system shouldn't assume a IP equals a person. That would be very problematic.

But when it comes to mere tracking, an IP can absolutely identify directly a person. So why not just treat it as such all the time? What's the downside of considering IP to be PII?

If people want news that's about as unbiased and objective as possible there has always been:

Hot take: People don't read them as much because people don't read "news" to be informed in an unbiased manner, they read news to be entertained.
There's a theory that hedge funds got great returns in the 1990s from legal non-public information which was banned by Reg FD in 2000. Many investors may not realize this and are still putting money into hedge funds even though their returns have been mostly poor since 2000.
People act based on their beliefs, and their beliefs are not necessarily related to reality; in fact, they usually aren't.

They didn't mistake rust safety for anything. This is called out by them as a shrotcoming of their approach that has to be mitigated separately.
It's just something happens occasionally. A (neoliberal) government decides that we need X (freely available news, or something, in this case) but the free market won't provide it because is isn't profitable (news companies losing ad revenue and going bust or switching to click-bait), so they'll create a new law (not unlike copyright) as some kind of work-around to cram everything into the desired "free-market" system.

>How is this "stand[ing] up for Canadians"?

it's standing up for Canadian news companies. this is one way

this is another more dubious way this is good for people: I think this may even improve facebook as a website: no more "news" which are just some sort "advertisement" or propaganda that looks like "news".

maybe another way to understand this move is to consider it as a way to force facebook to pay to publish a certain sort of what is essentially "government advertisement". this means it's a tax from Canada to Meta's Facebook
In my (very short, many years ago) stint as an EE it meant that parts (transistors, ICs, etc.) were guaranteed to work within certain specs within certain operating conditions (temp, etc.).

It did not guarantee anything outside of that. Soundness of design and ensuring inputs and environmental factors conformed to the spec was up to the engineers.
This bill is so backwards. If anything the news companies should be the ones paying Facebook and Google for doing free marketing for them.

Google and other social media platforms seem like the primary source of traffic for these legacy media companies. I mean a lot of news organizations upload links to their content themselves because that's how people find what to read. I reckon very few people go directly to the news websites to find articles and that's certainly not going to change because of this law in my opinion. The concept of a service provider having to pay to host links is absurd and goes against the nature of how the internet works. It's an attack on the very nature of the internet framed in a manner of "Protecting Canadian's" when in reality, the people who's pockets its meant to line ironically are the ones who are going to be hurt the most by it.

What a disaster.

I can't wait to watch how this backfires when the legacy media companies start complaining about how they are getting next to no traffic once this passes. That's not even to mention the smaller publishers who now aren't able to promote their own content on these platforms because of this bill.
> For example we have algorithms for classical planning SAT-solving, constraint satisfaction and automated theorem proving, that far surpass any ability of human beings to perform the same tasks.

Yes, and LLMs - particularly GPT-4 - can be easily made to make use of them. Much more so as of few days ago, when it got updated to a version fine-tuned specifically for using arbitrary tools.

> And yet, we have not been taken over by superintelligent AGI.

LLM performance jump that has everyone so anxious about AGI happened (in form of a deployed, accessible model) only less than a year ago. GPT-4 has only been generally available for 3 months. Give it time.
> It is without a doubt one of the most pointless drugs in existence.

I don't know about this one. Cigarettes specifically certainly have enough chronic downsides to outweigh their upsides for me, but nicotine in general serves as a pretty good, light dopamine hit, with relatively few acute downsides. You don't intoxicated, it doesn't take long to ingest, and it's available enough to not become life-consuming. It's not a coincidence that it's a very common habit.

I say this as someone who used to use cigarettes, but took up vaping nicotine instead when I realized it didn't make my clothes reek and scratched the same itch. Everybody has habits around dopamine management. Some people snack, some people spend too much time on social media, some people gamble (in casinos or in brokerages). Personally, I'm prone to snacking, and I eventually realized I could either smoke and be attractive, or snack and get fat. It was an easy enough choice.
The comments I've mostly seen are people saying that when the pixel density gets there, they'll jump on it or at least be very keen to try it. It hadn't taken off because we've been yet to reach that point. 2024 could be where it starts.

I think the incentive is there for employers to favour these (fit more staff in physical offices; and suits remote work well) and that will push it into the general white collar world.
You can easily package your webapp with an integrated server or electron, if you don't want to provide a server. Or simply put it on the source code platform of your choice and let users figure out hosting on their own.

Plus, you get all of that for (basically) free, at the same time with hardly any extra effort! The web really is the most versatile of platforms.

The organ grinder had six+ top artists who could bend popular music into the language of that organ like no other similar institution IMHO. Incidentally, Jonas still sounds like that if you give him a fast enough organ and enough audience pressure to play in the old popular music style.
That's true, but then we'd have to outlaw a whole bunch of other activities as well.

Besides the legal complications of being in a place that technically is outside of the legal boundaries of all countries, so who would enforce that?

Why does requests need a linux kernel? It's cross-platform. Strictly speaking it only needs the appropriate I/O calls. WASI provides a system interface to do I/O, network, files, etc.

I'm smiling at that first. :D I really do think this is more "violent agreement" than it is otherwise.

I don't see an increase in 2000-2010, though? I see a jump in 2000ish, but the rest looks like noise. Even 2000ish is probably debatable, but if there is clear evidence that we made short term gains at long term loss, I'm game. My kneecapping here is that they didn't even get the short term gains. If you blame both on "teaching to the test" I will make no real defense of that. My attack is simply that whatever we are doing isn't working. In any real way.

That is, my main posit is that if they were at least making gains on the tests, that would be a gain we could see somewhere. But... we aren't seeing that. So much of the "teaching to the test" rhetoric is a moot topic without clearer evidence of short term gains.

So, yeah, violent agreement with your last paragraph. I have no idea what we are doing. Be it teaching to the test or otherwise, it isn't working. Evidence seems mostly flat for the past few decades. (Covid notwithstanding, as I feel that has its own causal factors that are beyond what we are talking about.)

> They also protect against a technological horizon over which subs are unmasked.

I’ve read speculation that Russia boomers are followed at all times by at least one fast attack, and they can listen for sounds like missile bay doors opening. I have no sources, but given the state of Russia navy it seems plausible.
This article is written in a strange way.

> The Navy began listening for the Titan almost as soon as the sub lost communications, according to a U.S. defense official.

"Began listening" -- So OceanGate actually contacted the Coast Guard immediately?

> Shortly after its disappearance, the U.S. system detected what it suspected was the sound of an implosion near the debris site discovered Thursday and reported its findings to the commander on site, U.S. defense officials said.

The commander on site? Like the Coast Guard commander on site? That would imply the implosion happened many hours after the loss of communication.

> “The U.S. Navy conducted an analysis of acoustic data and detected an anomaly consistent with an implosion or explosion in the general vicinity of where the Titan submersible was operating when communications were lost,” a senior U.S. Navy official told The Wall Street Journal in a statement. “While not definitive, this information was immediately shared with the Incident Commander to assist with the ongoing search and rescue mission.”

This makes it more like they retroactively looked at the data and noted that the implosion happened and then informed the commander.

Remind me, which one was that again? :-)
I'm not trying to infer it. It's another possibility that would explain results besides the stated one that dogmatic thinking and not looking for more information go hand in hand.

Interestingly enough the dogmatic view is that dogmatic thinking is linked with refusing to seek more information. And here I am trying to be charitable to the "dogmatic” by suggesting that we should look for more information...

The hints felt either like a trick or like cheating to me. That's not a stretch that was just my personal feelings. I didn't even consider that the hints were a game theoretic best way to go if you aren't sure until the end where the explanation hand fed you that exact logic.
Glad to hear I'm not alone!

I only follow reputable media in Facebook. My feed consists of news articles from as much non-paywalled newspaper as I can get. I'm from Mexico so most of the media here is not behind a paywall.

I unfollowed all my facebook friends because I don't want to see their shit.

Yeah Facebook can still learn things about me and manipulate me. But I find it easier and faster to use Facebook as an accumulation of my favorite media than going to each website.

I also use Twitter for the same thing plus following programming personalities (famous and non-famous) and some friends.

OK then! Back to C it is I guess. More seriously, we're talking about the Linux kernel here: it's written in C, and there's some momentum to write new code in Rust. You're asking for the moon, but you may have to settle for a picture of it.

From [0], the only model under $1600 is bizarrely discounted 45% from $2849, which I assume is a limited-time offer.

The lowest-end model costs $1959, and is pretty meh: 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, crap 720p camera.

The higest-end model is also strangely 45%-off discounted, but runs $3769 regular. If the Framework 16 ends up costing $2500 (or even $3000) for a reasonably-spec'd setup, I think that'd be pretty fair, especially given the configurability and upgradeability. If you don't value those things, then you probably shouldn't be considering Framework in the first place.

Incorrect, for the longest time the US government only knew how to support linux via RHEL, that is rapidly changing. So if you sold software or services to the US government that was running on linux, your only viable choice was RH. That has started to change, Ubuntu pro is certified for use in the USG and has STIGs, which are hardening requirements for Ubuntu.

Many places would develop on centos or scientific Linux and then when it went into production use RHEL, since they were effectively 1:1 ports. So yea, I imagine there are quite a few orgs who might switch.

Surely if you are allowing non-root eBPF then security of the programs is one of your least worries? Given all the implicit privilege escalation that comes with allowing non-root to spy on everything the kernel does.

> Meanwhile, everyone is absolutely free to create a native VSCode clone. But that isn't happening at least for now.

I think Nova[1] is generally angling for that spot on Mac. I really wanted to embrace it, and someday if I have a bunch of free time to indulge my curiosity I may well do. But…

> Everyone hates VSCode, but nobody ever has managed to offer a competing alternative.

This, plus even trying a new editor that isn’t a ~direct copy of a successful incumbent is a huge investment in time, energy, and delay/diversion of muscle memory.

I resisted VSCode for years, and skipped several others entirely, because I could half ass most of what I cared about with TextMate and the other tools I had at hand. When I finally caved on VSC, reconfiguring it and myself to be maximally productive took an enormous effort.

I’m getting old and I have shit to do. I’ll do it maybe one more time in my life, but only if something comes along with a new-value proposition on the order of what VSC brought me:

- actual semantic language awareness, which works everywhere

- incredibly flexible and accurate reference navigation, again everywhere

- commit history where I’m working, whenever I need it

- debugging that’s almost seamless with editing, regardless of what’s being debugged

- I hardly even care about extensibility because most of what I need is built in, but when I do need to look for an extension it’s almost always exactly what I want (doesn’t break flow, does well what it says on the tin, doesn’t come with a kitchen sink unless it’s supposed to)

- everything I’ve missed from previous editor preferences either has a built in config equivalent or a perfectly cromulent alternative

- bonus points to VSC team beyond these criteria: 9/10 times I install an update, some new feature addresses a problem I didn’t even know I could put in words

Maybe another round of that is possible, but I’m not holding my breath.

When I read about eBPF for kernel extension, it immediately made me think it would be full of security problems. I don't even know anything about the kernel, eBPF validation and barely anything about security, but just from a theoretical level, it seems highly insecure to run someone else's code in the kernel. "Verifying" it seems impossible from a theoretical level. Am I wrong? What's the limits of security in eBPF kernel extensions?
I hate to be that guy. But why do you want a laptop for that? While my above list of requirements is basically implying a MacBook, if I wanted a really performant computer with a good GPU either internal or external for a high end use case, I would get a non-Mac desktop.
This is true, and there are many strategies that hedge funds use besides just buy(long) or sell(short) the market. High frequency trading is one, another is spread trading. With spread trading, you take 2 stocks that are highly correlated to each other, let's say Ford and GM. You buy one, and you short the other. You are technically market neutral, so if they both go up or down, you are still break even. When the 2 stocks start trading closer or further apart by a couple of standard deviations, you can put on a trade that bets the 2 stocks will revert to the mean of their historic ratios.
Sorry, I understood that one as irony.
