I'm fine with it as long as your standard also applies to family trusts. LLCs are relatively open compared to trusts. I also think people greatly overestimate the opacity of land ownership records. I just download all of the parcel maps, assessments, tax bills, and ownership data from my county assessor every year. Then people are amazed that I can answer easy question about who owns what. It seems simple to me.
Indeed you are right, this is definitely a bug and could cause errors.

I guess the solution would be to add an explicit API to create a GC root, invoked by native methods (which is a bit complicated by the fact that I use a moving collector).

Many years ago I was using SpiderMonkey in a c++ project and I seem to remember there were some APIs for native callbacks to invoke that rooted values. Same problem and similar solution. :-)

This kind of response is an epitome of online toxicity and polarization. I raised a few points, but you're just making some seemingly unfounded assertion and rejecting analysis?

Nothing in the article indicates the workers are living on the farms. In fact there are several mentions to things like childcare, gas, getting a second job, etc.

I'd say it's enforceable in the sense that if you agree to the license then violating those terms would be breach of contract regardless of whether use of the LLaMA v2 output is protected by copyright or not. But there's nothing stopping someone else who didn't agree to the license from using output you generate with LLaMA v2 to train their model.
I think the point is when reaching higher levels of expertise is not to try and convince existing customers to move up the ladder with you, it's that you need to find an entirely new set of customers who need that level of expertise and appreciate the difference. It's not about explaining - there's a quantum leap between levels.

Insurance companies are trying to bail on the California market and using any excuse to do so. The state insurance commissioner (an elected official) is said to be asleep at the switch, to the point that there is a grassroots movement to recall him, which to my knowledge has never happened.

The drone/aerial surveillance is the headline here, but the real issue is that insurers are unilaterally canceling policies without any sort of grace period or remediation possibility. Bear in mind that if you lose your home insurance and don't sign a new policy, a lender can and usually will foreclose upon it.

> Just pay them more

It doesn’t work because of you know, math. Not only are you suggesting that people only work 40 hours, but also get paid more for those 40 hours. So now farmers not only hire 2 people instead of 1 because you still have more than 40 hours of work, but now also compensate 2 workers for the lost wages they otherwise would have made working longer hours for a short duration of time.

It’s like instead of working 8 hours M-F, I work 10 hours M-Th and take the Friday off because of how my industry works, the law now forces employers to pay me overtime for 2 hours every day. So employers have to restrict me to 8 hours per day to avoid overtime and hire someone else along with me to get the same amount of work done. But then also pay both of us the lost wages for Friday.
What do you guys think of combining IaC with regular code? One language that does it all?
The company is suing people for talking to each other about the company and demanding more money for their farms that the company is/was trying to buy. There is no legal justification for this lawsuit; it's a legal shakedown to try and drain their targets' resources so that they're compelled to sell below-market to avoid bankruptcy.

As for swearing allegiance to the party, in China the party is the state so this is effectively swearing allegiance to the PRC and therefore, in context, not that different from US school children swearing allegiance to the USA.

No, some people believe they are doing "the right thing" and putting the in kiosks that say "recycling" at their nearest grocery store! They usually don't know that there's not really a first world system for recycling anything more complicated than a mono-material aluminum beverage can so it just gets sent to an african community where what I described above happens and the people running the kiosk make a little money by selling it to whoever runs those "recycling" centers in africa.
In my experience, LLM responses result in a fair distribution of outputs that do have semantically useful outputs but do not precisely adhere to the requested format. If I chose to use a strongly typed language for LLM parsing, perhaps I would be tempted to eliminate complexity and simply throw structural outliers away, and explain to the suits that a certain percentage of our queries/expenses are unusable. Instead, more sophisticated coercion techniques could be applied instead to increase output utilization.
Yes, a huge factor is the outgassing of materials. While just solidifying and a long time after that, it gases off solvents and other small particles that you constantly have to pump away and that raise your pressure noticeably.

In cryogenic environments this is less of an issue because things are more sticky, but in a room temperature apparatus targeting ultra high vacuum this is troublesome or impossible.

> Does anyone here have any experience using Go and Rust? What are your thoughts on the two languages?

I've worked on an extremely large golang monorepo, but I don't have production Rust experience. They're vastly different languages that they shouldn't really be compared. The only commonality they have is that they both compile to native code, that's about it. Other than that, golang is basically a python/ruby/perl/php competitor, whereas Rust is a C++ competitor.

It’s relatively easy to find any kind of rice in countries with significant East Asian diaspora like England provided you are ready to buy largish quantity (10kg). It’s highly likely there is an Asian market near you with a surprisingly large selection of rices (not necessarily on display) and which can get you other kinds if you order. It definitely is more involved than going to Tesco but far from impossible.
Diablo 1 has a single town, but there is a similar "new environments" part of the gameplay since as you go into the dungeon it changes. So theres the church -> catacombs -> caves -> hell. Though the whole game is maybe just a little longer than Act 1 in Diablo 2 (but its tough to say because its a much slower paced game).
They're going to charge us twice. Once for emitting it, second time for sequestering it. The fight for subsidies up here in Canada is insane. The electricity generated is already more expensive then renewables, and soon they can pad their margins with novelty projects that may or may not pan out, while telling us in their annual reports how great they are.
HtDP isn't really mind-blowing the same way SICP can be. It basically just tries to give you a mental framework and tools for breaking problems down into simple, composable, testable pieces - in terms of the work you're doing it's CS 101, but it's a particularly good implementation of CS 101. There's "senior" engineers at my company that I think would benefit from reading and absorbing HtDP. But, if I'm being honest, yes, an experienced developer would likely find it tedious.

SICP's big mind-expanding thing is that it teaches CS 101 through the process of building, from within a computational system, an entirely new computational system - various kinds of programming languages and later even a machine and compiler. In this sense it kind of peels away a lot of the magic of how computers and programming languages work. For lots of CS students - and even professionals - who've never really thought about what makes their Python interpreter tick, that's a big discovery. It's also a real pedagogical feat.

The key word you used is "intensive". Livestock are animals in too, and we can use techniques to harvest animal products while maintaining a balance in the ecosystem. You can see this in grazing management to turn desert back into grasslands in Africa. And instead of spraying insecticide that runs off and kills things downstream, we can pasture chickens in the same fields we grow crops and they'll happily turn those insects into eggs and meat.

Intensive agriculture is fighting nature. We can work with nature instead for both crops and animal products and still get great yield.
People are friends because of the value they create, vis a vis any relationship requires investment, and its quality is determined based on the return on that investement. I would question the calling of any relationship that creates negative value a friendship.

The last comment in the Github discussion you linked says:

We decided to handle deniability in a separate document since it will be handled via an extension.

I'm not sure what this extension looks like, but it looks like repudiation is not part of the MLS spec. I don't know how one is supposed to implement something like that through an extension, though; this sounds like it should either be a fundamental part of the protocol if it does get implemented.

>Poor character-building choices or a general lack of skill can, in other words, always be compensated for with patient grinding.

This is why I fell in love with JRPGs. Generally most of them allow endless grinding and for me, and for a lot of people, grinding itself is relaxing and on top of that it's fun being strong. It's fun being a demi-god and just kill every boss in 5 seconds or less. And even better when you can exploit some janky game mechanic to become strong (which nowadays would be patched 1 week later by the devs...)
Yes, its interesting to compare the de-facto standards around input and output parsing of CLI tools in Unix land. Input has been a solved problem since the 70s for simple use cases, it's output that was always a pain.

Inputs are arbitrary string STDIN and tokenized command line args (argv/argv). Outputs are arbitrary string STDOUT/STDERR and well-formed simple uint8_t return codes.

For input, most tools use the command line args for specifying tunable parameters. These are easy to adjust on the shell or in shell scripts, as opposed to deserializing & modifying & reserializing input files or STDIN. Most use the getopt convention (`myprog --input myfile -b 123`), which makes them well-formed enough to be a stable API and describable by simple grammars. As they are (usually) position independent key-value pairs (with some value arrays for multiple files etc), it makes it easy to add options without breaking existing callers. Look at the mountain of shell scripts out there that continue to run even as tools are updated.

For output, nothing similar exists. It would be interesting if UNIX tools could also output argc/argv and shells had builtin functions to easily parse (getopt style) and index into those. Or even just have a flat key-value envvar style return list. (I guess you could have a convention of the last line of STDOUT being dedicated to that and piping it into some tool that sets a bunch of prefixed env vars). Would have made everyday output parsing from random tools a whole lot easier instead of grep/sed/awk and the dealing with changing output as people updated the tools ("ifconfig" versus "ip" well-formed grammar).

Arrays and nested data structures are where everything gets complicated, and you need something like Powershell (powerful but clunky IMHO) or JSON and full programming languages. jshn is cool but verbose as its necessarily just a POSIX shell "extension".
I find it really ironic that these rich people imagine that they will have a great time after some apocalyptical shit goes down, just because they've built or bought a bunker/shelter/island somewhere.
The thought that their survival will remotely resemble the lifestyle they have today is hilarious.

So ok, you've build yourself a small city with self-generating energy capacity for decades. You got running water and transportation. You can manage all the waste you produce. You stored a lot of food, and can somehow produce more food. You have some sort of health care/emergency plan figured out.

So now, who is gonna maintain all that infrastructure for you? Your employees?
For what? Money?
What the hell are they gonna need money for now that civilization has ended?
Loyalty? Why? What is keeping your guards from killing you and your family and taking control? Or worse, making you their slaves. It's survival of the most well armed and organized from day one.
All you have is money in banks and you name written on pieces of papers stating you own stuff. All of that amounts to nothing from the moment the ICBMS fly.

It's all illusions for these people. Like the pharaohs thinking they were gonna cheat death and keep all the riches and power.
It's pure desperation and trying to throw money at the problem, just to create hell on earth for themselves.

On end of civilization situations, the lucky ones are those who die soon and without realizing what happened and what's to come for the survivors.

Most places threw in the towel when Omicron came along, it was simply too infectious for containment measures to work. However, the same mutation that increased it's spread also reduced it's lethality. The end result was approximately halving the death toll, plus delaying a lot of infections until after the vaccine was available also cut the death toll considerably. All in all millions of lives were saved by the measures you shun.

And it's not a matter of wanting the masses to be scared. Rather, the pattern I have seen again and again of people treating those they regard as good people as safe. That's been the huge chink in the armor against Covid all along. Doctors mostly got infected from coworkers, not patients because they were careful around patients and let down their guard in non-patient areas.
As a fellow mod, I agree. The people that actually interact with the site overwhelmingly support the protests (look at every poll thats been posted asking for feedback). The vast bulk of users though? They have such LOW engagement with the site (they're just passive consumers) they can't even be bothered to vote in a poll.

I go to reddit about once a day now to just see if there is any active mod things I need to take care of and I'm seeing my home page be way more static--things are hanging out for over a day when it used to be my landing page was changing over every few hours. So traffic numbers may not have plummeted during the protest, but you can't tell me engagement hasn't fallen right in the toilet.
I don't think you understand what this conversation is about. We are considering information theoretic entropy, not thermodynamic entropy from the mechanism of computation itself.

The result of applying a deterministic function on a random variable cannot have more entropy than the underlying random variable. This is a theorem, one that is trivial enough to not have a name. But you can find solution sets to homework that will prove it for you: https://my.ece.utah.edu/~rchen/courses/homework1_sol_rr.pdf

There is a lot of strategy in Diablo 1. Unlike Diablo 2, you are much less able to just wade into hordes of monsters. Your health doesn't restore, you have less mana, you have fewer abilities and they don't just upgrade. In Diablo 2, some characters get abilities that can clear a whole pack of monsters by level 6 or 12, which you get to relatively quick. Diablo 1 you are much weaker. If theres a pack of monsters, knowing where to position yourself to filter them, or what scrolls to use and when to use them, and rationing your potions is more important. Its closer to traditional roguelikes.
