Could not agree more. I think one big problem with Bolsonaro's discourse about the election system -- he was absolutely correct that the current system is not fully verifiable -- is that it became too politicized, and that he or his supporters took this to mean that the election should not be trusted. This automatically made anyone arguing to improve the system be lumped in with those sewing doubts about the result, which eventually led to the backlash from the TSE and the whole Jan 8th debacle.

One big problem with the electoral court in Brazil is that it is the only public branch that concentrates the three powers in one entity: they legislate about elections, they execute the rules, and they judge any matters related to the election. As a result, they have chosen these arguments to shoot down any criticism or improvement suggestions to the election system.

The country deserves a non-politicized discussion on the ground of true technical and security merits of what the election system should be. Paper records with Risk-limiting audits would solve most of the problems. I agree with your [comments] above. The costs of implementing this pale in comparison to the benefits of having a more reliable voting process which is the basis of a strong democracy.
The important thing that happened for Java is the centralized repository. Gradle and maven both use the maven repository standard. So you can publish a new package and either system can pull it in. This isn't as true if you talk about plugins to the build systems so it's not as if java is unscathed.

However, I'd say it's a lot better situation than what exists for C/C++ ATM.
RSS with signed exchanges for the articles could provide a pleasant reading experience. Waiting for each article to load makes the experience worse than FB with IA. That's the problem.

What I remember of Reader was an interface like Gmail but instead of the article pane loading instantly like the Gmail conversation pane, it took many seconds to load. I'd get tired of all the waiting. It also didn't have any filtering functionality to match Gmail.
> Police don't just go in guns blazing with their eyes closed

In the Breonna Taylor incident [0], their eyes weren't closed, but they may as well have been:

> Police then fired 32 rounds into the apartment... Cosgrove fired 16 shots from the doorway area... Hankison fired 10 times from outside through a sliding glass door and bedroom window, both of which were covered by blinds or curtains... The officers' shots hit objects in the living room, dining room, kitchen, hallway, bathroom, and both bedrooms.

Now, granted that situation was out of the norm because an occupant of the apartment fired a shot first, since he thought they were being burgled and the police neglected to announce their presence. But that's exactly the kind of situation that could happen in a SWAT raid. Most victims of SWATTing don't expect police to show up to their door, so if they're someone who owns a firearm and they hear a loud bang at the door, they may quite rightfully fire a shot at it in self defense, just like happened in the Taylor residence.

The main lesson there is that it's up to police to properly announce themselves (no-knock raids should never be used in response to an emergency distress call such as the kind that triggers a SWATTing). But even if they announce themselves and receive fire in return, I'd argue they should at least make sure they've sighted a target before they pull the trigger, rather than indiscriminately shooting a volley of bullets through a window like they're some kind of gangster doing a drive by.

Less suffering and death is still suffering and death. You lose any moral high ground if you still consume things willingly that kills animals.

At that point why not eat chicken eggs occasionally and reduce the amount of grain you’re eating?
Well yes of course, but the key point is that these people don't _want_ to pay it back. It's easy to come up with a million reasons why your voluntary choice to borrow a bunch of money is not your own fault.
I'm sure economies of scale would bring down the price somewhat if the majority of the industry's manufacturing was done in developed countries.
> In this case, the sin was not making the potential for inaccuracies clear enough.

I completely agree and the tone of some of the comments in the issue are disproportionate to the problem.
We just saw this with the recent court case decision from the cop that did nothing at the Parkland shooting.
I wonder how much of the dolphin’s brain is dedicated to hardware-accelerated spatial FFT for echolocation, like how humans have mostly hardware-accelerated facial detection. Maybe most of their “language” isn’t syntactic but rather in the form of acoustic holograms.

There are lots of ways to solve this problem. Procedural, tiny model, fine-tuned large model, expert systems, etc.
I think the magic of LLMs, if any, is the fact that they can make these kind of "symbolic AI" systems to work.

AutoGPT / AgentGPT / TeenageGPT will inevitably start borrowing ideas from Marvin Minsky & other symbolic AI / cognitive science researchers.

The space of different configurations is much larger than simple connections. It's in fact possibly larger than our imagination. This is because it's hard to comprehend all inputs to a single GPT-4 instance, and the space of LLM-multiagents is essentially the space of *graph theoretical graphs* of GPT-4 instances, practically in four dimensions (if one needs to start thinking about the signals strictly).
Google for a brief time assembled Moto in Texas. It wasn't outrageously priced.
> Also, since I assume MDN has a finite number of things that need explaining, why not let users mark an AI explanation as wrong, and submit their own corrected versions?

I mean if you implement it well you don't really need the model. If anything it would be more effective if it was always just slightly wrong.

Yes, it is now. From Red Hat's original June 21 article [1] (they even put it in bold).

> CentOS Stream will now be the sole repository for public RHEL-related source code releases.

RHEL is in there somewhere, even if a user has to pick specific commits for it.

Furthermore, for the totally-bundled source for the exact binary RHEL release (which Red Hat only is required by the GPL to give to their customers, whom they already gave a binary to):

> For Red Hat customers and partners, source code will remain available via the Red Hat Customer Portal.

There isn't a law against "dark patterns", and selective/weighted recommendations aren't even generally considered an example of a dark pattern.

The FTC has brought lawsuits against deceptive practices, like tricking people into signing up for something they didn't mean to -- that might be what you're referring to?

But I don't see any deceptive practice here. YouTube favoring more profitable videos is no different from grocery stores putting candy next to you while you wait to check out. Companies are trying to manipulate you into selecting the most profitable thing all the time, that's the norm. But you still get to choose which video to click on, the same as it's your choice whether or not to buy the candy at checkout.
I get that adopting sustainable vegan behaviors may not seem like a big deal on your own. But even small changes can make a difference.

When fewer people consume fish/meat, it motivates politicians to take action on environmental issues. By cutting back on consumption, we can push politicians to implement environmental regulations. In a capitalist system, our choices as consumers shape the rules.

Your actions matter, benefiting non-consumed beings. By inspiring others and setting an example, anyone can contribute to a larger movement for a more sustainable and healthier planet.

Veganism is the fastest growing social justice and environmental movement.

> What I find with generated C is that it often is prone to blowing the stack or missing cache far more than hand-written C would. There's often something funky happening (Cheney-on-the-MTA) or it's a soup of function pointers and object references scattered haphazardly across memory.

Definitely a possibility. Nim does pretty well since it has concepts of stack values in addition to ref's unlike perhaps Chicken Scheme or others. Add in that the Nim compiler can do some large scale optimizations that are hard to do in had written C it can perform as well (or better!) than C with some work. Though it's easy to loose performance too if you're sloppy.
As much as I hate ads, I think this is fair.

If you dislike the ads, pay for YouTube Premium. Otherwise, you pay with your time.

This might be a privileged take, but I wish the entire Internet was like this.

I really hate having to use an ad-blocker for everything, but I also hate that the only way some (many?) companies make money is by shoving as many bandwidth- and resource-stealing ads and tracking scripts into my face as possible.

>And for HFT trading a language with Garbage Collector is not a great choice IMO.

Depends. I've heard of places that use Java by creating a huge heap, minimising allocations to almost zero, and just restarting the app periodically before it can fill up. You can achieve very good performance doing this and you don't have to worry about memory bugs.
The Kinect Azure is pretty badass. I see why they would say that and it is very funny. I work in computer vision and NUI R&D and it's really hard to understate the accomplishment that is Kniect. I get why most people don't want to play dance games and don't like the machine looking at them but it is REALLY hard to package up solid solutions for the problem the Kinect solves and the Azure and surprisingly it's cross platform SDK are IMO one of the most beautiful tools every produced by humans.
That was my first thought when I saw it was from Purism
If you don't have SWAT, there's no swatting. Part of the problem here is catching the swatters, but the other part of the problem is "don't respond with an attack force for something that in normal countries just has regular police show up to figure out what's even going on".
Good summary but I think you missed one piece. Lula was convicted and ultimately was allowed to run and govern.
Facebook Ads are equally valueless.
Yeah, this is conflicting with their another topic: diversity.
Diversity and Equity are contradictory. If you accept diversity, you accept people of different groups should and could behave differently. Then you should accept that with these different behavior, the outcome should be different.

If you accept Equity, then you accept whatever group you are in, the outcome should be the same. Then this defeats the diversity.
Are they really sending in the actual SWAT, or are the regular cops just now so well armed and body armored up they look like SWAT to civies?
Using a VPN in China is also a crime.
Like others mentioned, disclosed is fine, it's the "you'll receive [$20 | free stuff] if you leave a 5 star review" that makes reviews untrustworthy.
This is understandable and I almost wanted to include it as a caveat in my original comment. Tax burden from upzoning could really hurt some homeowners. On the flip side, zoning could be seen as subsidizing land that would otherwise be more productive if it were zoned to what the market demands.
If you need to create an account you just won't bother. I find myself caring less about twitter now, when you could view tweets it would get you motivated to get involved, not that you won't be able to I can see a lot of traffic just drift away.

Nature is not on the brink of collapse because of 8 billion people and human overpopulation is a scaremongering tactic that should have died 30 years ago. It's hard to continue reading your comment with such easily falsifiable information in your first paragraph. The Earth and nature will be totally fine in the end.

The reality is animals provide a way of consuming resources efficiently that, sure, can be consumed by eating other plant based things but it's not as efficient as eating flesh.

For me, emotional arguments about why I shouldn't eat animals don't sway me very much because of the undeniable fact that we're the apex predator on Earth. I reject any moral argument that we're supposed to respect nature and other species because of our intelligence.

I don't believe we have a responsibility to other species and if we can get by in the world by enslaving all the animals and killing the rest that we can't I'm perfectly fine with that. We're just as natural as everything else on the Earth and I think it's weird to place ourselves outside the scope of nature or what's natural because we're more intelligent than everything else.
Curious if they’re really trying to sell to consumers or hoping to get a large DoD contract. Wouldn’t be surprised if the US government would be interested in these if the NSA vets them.

I don't really care about the supply chain all being traced to being USA made. The USA is not a particularly trustworthy government, and in my experience auditing various US facilities, their physical security was always worse than many 'developing' nations.

You're convinced that assembly in the US doesn't involve babies?
I don't think that completely addresses gp's argument, he wasn't talking about energy or resourcing; just complexity.

That being said, I still think gp's argument is flawed. We don't have examples of complexity that an AI can't overcome. Up until 2016 Go was a great example that was far to complex for an AI. Now there is no problem that an AI isn't expected, in principle, to outperform humans in with engineering effort. It is just a question of figuring out which problems it needs to outperform us in.

Engineering effort is not in shortage. There are many capable people on hand and modern AI is going to be a perfect force multiplier for engineering work. We're going to figure it out. Complexity is maybe a good argument that we've got a few generations to go, but life for a 2nd tier intelligence is not a well-resourced one. It could easily be like this world except with humans displacing orangutans in 2nd place to the smart species.
Happy to pay that price if I can have some gaurentees slaves and children did not assemble them. A new, maxed out, unlocked iPhone approaches $1500 pretty quickly. And I would be willing to guess some indentured “workers” put them together.
Funny because I would assume most times they are not warranted

so do we have enough information to determine? or do we need to push for that first.

It's a technical customer support role for a SaaS. 40 hours a week.
About two years experience. 100% remote, OK health insurance, but other perks are pretty basic.

Before that, I worked for not-a-tech company,doing basic IT help desk stuff. That only paid about 45k. That seemed OK at first, as I was starting my career over and didn't have a related degree or experience. But after about a year of experience, that pay didn't make sense, and I could see other places hiring for the same kind of role for quite a bit more. Than employer had a reputation for paying below market rates and there was quite a bit of churn.
What happened to "back the blue"
The website/presentation is really cool. One thing that's missing is some bookmarks on the right side, to scroll directly to a specific controller/section.
And to be honest, this might be the sorta thing that is optimized away when doing inlining. but it does seem interesting that even when the type is species, and very narrow, the boxed types being onwrapped and rewrapped by the called function, rather than the caller.

As a side note it took me a second to realize that the multiplication being done is not actually xx, but rather (x (x<<1))
I don't think there is a conventional solution to the problem, like something technological or something to do with police training. The problem arises because society is fundamentally ripping itself apart at the seams, because trust between everyone just keeps dropping lower, while tensions keep rising.

You can create "zero trust" privacy implementations, but you can't create "zero trust" societies.

On the contrary, a high trust society is a good thing, and something we should strive towards. Getting back to high trust societies will be an incredibly difficult thing though, for various reasons better left for a different conversation.
Why are the police synonymous with "hitmen" ?

As I user I want my self-hosted web apps to be able to send me notifications. I want them to have access to the clipboard if I allow so. I don't want third-party sites to have these capabilities unless I explicitly allow one to do so in which case it should be clearly visible that the permission is granted and it should be just as easy to remove permission as it was to grant it.

Fortunately I use Android which gives me the possibility to install any browser I want, in my case that means Firefox, Bromite (a Chromium fork without Google bits), Privacy Browser and Lightning. Yes, I have multiple browsers installed, both to test how they behave with things I made as well as to use them for specific purposes.

That’s not quite what they claim. I’ll grant you it is confusing wording though. The paragraphs above the table of origin say:

> We use US companies with US fabrication whenever possible. Most distributors are based in the US with the exception of large integrated circuits that are made in a variety of countries where those companies do fabrication (US, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan); an example is the NXP CPU we use from their fabrication in South Korea.
Yes lol it was exactly that
