In short, it's because if the MBAs that head large corporations were dieticians they'd try to make everyone anorexic to save on their grocery bills. If they were home builders they'd remove half the shingles from the roof and one hinge from every door, as well as remove the handles from toilets forcing you to open the tank every time you wanted to flush.

Of course they would personally pocket all the savings, and use it to buy for themselves everything they deny to everyone else in the name of "efficiency". I guarantee you none of the pharmaceutical company execs are going to miss one dose of their meds.
Can you provide an example of where this has been successful?

I've spoken with many researchers and grad students only to find that there was a critical typo in the algorithm or undescribed setting (e.g., only converges when a learning rate scheduler is applied) in the code. I'll see the same algorithm implemented differently in different repositories. This is even the case for papers I've found with thousands of citations. It can be tremendously difficult to reproduce the results of papers, especially when they may require large amounts of compute that small researchers don't have. And I don't know whether it's a bug in my code or the paper or the algorithm.
> I think you're wrong about historiography (and your highschool history teacher too).

you're wrong about me being wrong. I remembered a little better now:

"there is no history, the proper name of this subject is historiography" he taught us this

but also, your reply suggests you missed the point (and my teacher's) that there is no history, it's all accounts by some "historian"

I would use the name meta-history, or 'philosophy of history' for what you describe as 'historiography'.

then again, maybe you're just being nitpicky about things and are focusing on what I said wrong instead of on the point i was trying to make

further again, I cannot help but notice how going forwards "metahistory" may even be understood as the story behind Mark Zuckerberg's giant coorporation
If they create a digital dollar and it uses any version of FedNow, then they're liars. If they create a digital dollar and it uses an entirely different product, they're incompetent.

The characterization of the Federal Reserve as incompetent is the strong opinion I observed. I personally don't agree with the logic you communicated. I think a completely separate CBDC project that is separate from FedNow is perfectly appropriate.

IMO, many policy makers view FedNow as a better ACH.

Whereas, CBDC is a much more controversial project for some policymakers.

Separating the two projects offers some risk mitigation and ensures we will at least have something usable (1) in the short to medium term and (2) even if CBDC is mired in political non-consensus.

Frankly speaking, it’s impossible for me to take the claim that this is the result of SJWs seriously. It’s just too ridiculous.

I think the growing discontent against cops due to their being filmed is a much more reasonable explanation for these kinds of laws. That’s why we are also seeing attempts to restrict people’s ability to film police.

Because of quantum mechanics this is a genuinely open philosophical question. The equations which time evolve the wave function are time-symmetric, which means that even if you know the current state of the universe's wave function somehow, you still only get a probabilistic projection for the state in the past. I think this leaves open the genuine physical possibility that the past does not exist in the same way that the present exists. A lot comes down to what you think about the ontology of quantum mechanics.

One slight problem: that won't remove any pages from Google's index.

It tells the crawler not to crawl the pages, but it won't stop the indexer from recognising that the pages exist, or that they're authoritative for keywords like "Joey Hess", because -- and this was the magic of PageRank -- other people link to the site.

Regulation is only the opposite of laissez-faire capitalism and anarcho-capitalism, but nobody really does those things anymore anyway and there are plenty of other variations of capitalism in the world today.

Public ownership and subsidies to support production of things critical to national interests are fairly common, and I think that would be the most appropriate in this case.
It takes time for adoption. These were the early adopters, who wanted to participate in the design and also be prepared from a business standpoint to ready at launch. If it proves it’s worth, broader adoption will follow. Like anything else.

Not on paper, perhaps. Retiring at 50 with full pension changes the math quite a bit. Especially if they pad that pension...

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-newyork-pension/public-wo...

"For example, a police officer with a history of zero overtime worked more than 800 hours of overtime in his last years on the job, the Democratic gubernatorial candidate said in a report. The pension benefits that state and local employees qualify for often are partly determined by how much they earn in the last few years at work."

Huh? I have personally committed production code that was 100% generated by an LLM. Simply because the code was correct and written more quickly than I could have physically typed it out. Does that not count as correct code to you?

The author acknowledges this, that a given job is a trophy job for some and not others. PM becomes a trophy job when it exists only to tick a box on your tech climber CV. Many people do it because they are actually interested in building a product. Same with "founder" / owner. VC I'm not sure about.
GNU also misses the point a bit. With open source, the source is open, but some other general rights are included too, like to restriction to the type usage. Lately, people and corporations made a lot of money on the backs of open source developers, so a new type of license emerged, and this would be the one that really is just about the "open" "source", but to make it distinct from the already widely known term, people call these "source available". Getting back to the topic, Any knows these distinctions too - or at least their lawyer did, because they call their license a "Source Available License"[0]. Source-available however doesn't carry the coolness of what "open source" brings - so on the marketing page, they refer to the project as "open source", which kind of can be argued, since the majority of it is indeed proper open source.

About 20 meters from my mother in law's front door is the entrance to a path through a forest. About 10 m down that path is, or was, a marker stone. On one side it said "H. Braunschweig" (Duchy of Brunswick) and the other "K Hannover" (Kingdom of Hanover) and bore a date in the 1850s or 60s -- before the German Empire. It delimited yet another german border that no longer exists.

I was more amazed that anyone had bothered to put such a marker in such a tiny village than I was surprised that it survived. It was not on the path and heavily overgrown; I only stumbled across it because my kid liked to wander around. I think everybody knew it was there but nobody really cared.

Anyway, the point: about 10 years or so ago some worthies decided to clean up the hiking path, put up some signs, and pull up the stone, putting it where everyone could see it next to a sign with the name of the village. Since the border no longer exists it doesn't matter that the marker is a few meters from its former location, but what really did annoy me is that they changed its orientation!

Funny thing about topics like this is that people of any given country is oblivious to how other countries have solved that problem, or the challenges other countries face, or inturn the problems that they themselves face.

There was an interview with the CEO of Signal and some UK conservative politician[1]. It's a pretty infuriating interview, as both parties try to debate two complete separate issues. Meredith Whittaker of Signal, rightfully tries to debate the issues with breaking encryption and it's ramification, but the politician has that sorted. See they don't want to break the encryption, they want the apps to pick up the messages BEFORE encryption and side channel them to some government agency, at least that's my understanding. They want on device access to the message, which the app have, they just also want that information searched, indexed and filtered and sent to the police.

It's sad that these politicians don't see the problem... Well either don't see or understand, or they full well understand and that's the point, they're just doing a poor job of explaining why.

That sounds pretty thorough for the purpose. I think the parent's point was just that if you naively Google yourself without doing anything special, your own results will tend to percolate to the top more so than if a random person were to Google you.

> You played this on C, but there is nothing about C that makes this special.

Yes there is something special about C (on Unix/Linux). C is the mother tongue of Unix so it's more intertwined with the system than anything else (other than shell scripting also). You'll nearly always have cc installed. The libraries you need are often in /usr/lib as part of the OS install.
Yes it’s very different. You download source code and execute it. Compared to downloading source code and executing it.

I also saw one, different, wherein the solution was that the shell curled in on itself and compressed, like squeezing a scroll.

This was pre-Outer Limits, too, if I am right. The main premise was that a monomaniacal skillionaire decided to hoax the planet into uniting against a horrible threat inside Jupiter. The last transmissions from this doomed ship, as it descended through the ever-thicker atmosphere, was a kind of Lovecraftian exhortation that they were too horrible for him to properly describe, ending in "Defend! Defend!" before cutting out.

I don’t think it’s possible for a company as big as Apple to act solely on principle.

I agree but think that Apple is the exception that proves the rule. Its origin story is as good as any Shakespeare.

The second act of Apple started small and focused and re-built itself while keeping the Wall Street mind set at a distance. I think your sentiment misses the fact that Apple doesn't really need Wall Street. Their stock can do whatever it wants the lower it goes the more they can buy. Why would Apple lower their standards?

On their conference calls they always talk about reaching cash neutrality as their goal. I never really understand what that looks like

Untainted (without ML-generated content) human communication is becoming more and more scarce. It’s only a matter of time before they take advantage of that.

I'm not sure if I understand this comment. Apple's size relative to other nation's GDP enables them to hire real humans at an amazing scale. This different than a company that doesn't have a culture of support built-in already. They also have the advantage that many countries would partner with them to raise their own GDP.

I think their approach is to grow the AI to help the existing workforce scale. Get more work done using fewer live bodies.

They'll forbid any app using ML generated content from providing iMessage extensions, or possibly it’ll receive a warning mark in iMessage when sent. Could also work with content pasted from those apps. Some sort of “provenance check”. They’ll pitch it as a consumer privacy thing, I promise.

I hope so that is why I'm Apple customer. I also think you are misreading the times. Apple is about to hand over a lot of authority to the customers.

There is very much a motivation to access massive amounts of user data, especially when you control the OS that would be the gate keeper to that data, as well as how the “choice” is presented to the end user.

Don't project your ambitions on others.

I do believe that Apple's ability to maintain their performance is mystifying and wonder how long it will last.
I agree in general, but not for beginners. If you’re some college kid whose idea of form comes from books and YouTube, odds are you’re doing something so wrong that you’ll tweak your back deadlifting or squatting long before you’re capable of overwhelming your work capacity.
It just ignores this part of local legislation, like everyone else. The government tries to pressure companies to provide encryption keys, but this is unfeasible as it doesn't have big enough leverage, especially now, when hostile international relations shield foreign companies from legal threats. So the only thing they can do is an internet block, but most users do have some kind of vpn installed already to circumvent such obstacles. It also weakens government negotiations position, because one you use the nuclear option, there is no more ways to threaten the company.
School boards already successfully do this with 'student laptops' also known as in-home monitoring devices that cannot be switched off.
It's common for players on minecraft to take turns placing signs next to each other if they want to have a 'private' conversation with another player (which is handy in some competitive game modes), and I've also seen muted players name their pets in-game with messages that they want to communicate.

I use ChatGPT to assist with my hobby coding projects, especially for simple boilerplate stuff that would otherwise take me a couple minutes to lookup and implement. I mostly use it for Python and JavaScript/NodeJS.

It kind of lets me act more like I'm in an architect role. I know what to build and how to design it, ChatGPT fills in easy parts so I can focus on business logic.
It's crazy that we allow this at all. The government can't observe clandestine conversations that occur in person, does that mean they can mandate us to carry a government recording device? That people don't equally balk at requests to encumber encryption is baffling.

I'm a developer, not an engineer, but if you wanted it closer, I'm guessing you'd need to move into an orbit that is close to earth's orbit and close to earth's position in that orbit. Far easier, probably, to cut out small chunks of it and send them on a trajectory we can manipulate easier because the forces are way smaller. Large chunks of gold in an orbit anywhere near the earth would be enough motivation to find a way to retrieve them, I'm guessing.
It won't be any worse or better than existing federally administered systems. The government already oversees all the major existing bank-to-bank transfer systems mentioned in the press release. In the US banks charge different wire fees because they can as a competitive matter, but they all use FedWire to talk to each other. Just like they can impose arbitrary limits on ACH transfer size but they all use FedACH to handle the actual transfer. This one is just a faster, more secure version of the latter.

I have a couple of suggestions I've heard from others I think are decent.

1. Grand-jury-style civilian oversight of cop malpractice.

2. Make sure bad cops can't get reemployed as cops in the city 15 miles away.

3. Require cops get malpractice insurance as a condition of employment. Instead of paying out of the city's treasury, insurance will payout if the cop gets sued successfully
Ok, I'll try that.

1. You cannot compare Cook to Turing with a straight face, even in terms of their sexuality situation.

2. Privacy is about as personal of a fight to Cook as shareholder obligations are, and only one of them gets him removed if he neglects it.

3. It's pretty fucking stupid to suggest the UK would do the same thing to Turing today if they had the data. You may recall that there are now laws in both the UK and, yes, Alabama since 2009, that render this a hate crime and deter it properly. It's the lamest possible excuse to support corporate power.

Ultimately Tim Cook will say whatever gets investors horny. If you're dumb enough to factor his sexuality in to your trust quotient, you deserve to be XKeyscored.
