I’m not saying they’re lazy or browbeating anyone.

I’m saying they’re lying to themselves. Nothing wrong with that. Whatever it takes to get through life. I lie to myself about a lot of things to make the days go by easier.

But yeah, wait for those infrastructure investments to come and tell yourself that once they’re here you’ll walk more. Or go out and walk today. Or don’t. Doesn’t really matter at all.
> I really believe that is the main reason this town is thriving.

Well yeah - Walmart (or any major corporation) is extractive. Profits from your small town will not stay in the small town. But where else will the coffee shop owner invest their profits back into if not their business and community?
Yet in all the tv/movies (breaking bad coming to mind) they are careful about this. Taillights working, don’t speed etc.
Ok, I've attempted to make it clearer

(submitted title was "'Phantom' A-bomb film 'Hiroshima,' with 88,000 extras, set for July 30" and yes HN's title limit is 80 chars so the full title wouldn't fit)
I started following an HN repost bot on Mastodon this morning.

What's missing is comments from AP being ingested/posted to HN, the upvote/downvote federation story, and the moderation story.

Has @dang commented on this question in the past?
Has anyone shown a potential HN source patch?

Where is the HN source code right now? Free and Open?
"Hey, your tail light is out. Won't give you a ticket this time, but please do get it fixed". Is neither harassement nor intimidation. But it does remind people that these things are noticed, and that failing to fix a taillight might actually earn you a fine.
While this might make this situation more likely to occur, you can never prevent concurrent accesses from happening in a distributed system.
Aborting (as in calling abort(3)) inside a library is very problematic if I’m writing an application that uses it. It takes away the ability of the larger application to detect and handle the error, simply terminating the entire process. Especially in a C++ library, something like exception throwing is better than an immediate abort, because the application can at least catch the exception and proceed. Exceptions are admittedly a controversial subject, but are easier to utilize inside potentially deeply nested call stacks where explicit error reporting would otherwise complicate the API.
The other day I was trying to work with git LFS. I was very surprised to find out git-lfs, as in the binary, CLI application is the only (open) implementation in existence. There is nothing else. And even it itself does not offer itself up as a library; so even native Go code (the implementation language) has to fall back to shelling out to the CLI git extension! Not even bindings are possible. Such a painful loss of interoperability: IPC via return codes and parsing stdout/stderr.

It seems a similar story with the rest of git. I have hopes for gitoxide aka gix, and think the approach of library-first is correct going into the future. A CLI is then simply a thin wrapper around it, mapping argv to library operations basically.
Statistics are not a good indicator either because most events never get recorded. Nobody keeps statistics on how often cyclists whiz within inches of pedestrians on the sidewalk, scrape by people, or knock people over but they get right back up again with a few bruises. It doesn't get recorded unless the police get involved or somebody goes to the hospital, both of which are pretty rare. Believing you understand what's going on just by looking at statistics is terribly naive.
But won't it make it better for everyone else? Not even sure that bottom 5% should be in school. Just train them for a role that they can be competent in or decide that they will be a future ward of the state.
"Become"? Did US law enforcement ever "serve & protect" the people? SCOTUS forceably rejected that theory.

The entertaining book Seattle Justice details how Seattle's police was conceived to protect business interests and quickly morphed into a protection racket. With drugs, gambling, and sex trafficking as side hustles. Adorable!

I now assume that's the norm (in the west).

The stated purpose of our "well armed miltias" was to repel slave rebellions (in response to Haiti as well as some domestic agitators).

The job of sheriffs et al was to catch slaves.

The job of Texas Rangers was to exterminate the Comanche.

This is just what I remember from popular media. I'm sure an expert has many more examples.
I want to agree with you. My hope is that PEP 703 can lead to better implementations of even your safe / structured concurrency model. It will after all still be possible to use, it just won't unfortunately be the only option.

Just like you can today spawn threading.Threads one by one in python, or just map a bunch of function calls over a threadpool using concurrent.futures thread pool.
You could have the first column indicate the type of value and the second column the value. If you now have your columns named "a" and "b" you could have the first column named "type" only allowing values "a" or "b" and the second column would be "value" where the actual value is stored.
If anyone is interested in a documentary about the survivors of the atom bombs, I cannot recommend White Light/Black Rain strong enough. I believe it is streaming on HBO or whatever in the US.

It goes without saying that it is very graphic and not for the faint hearted.

Barefoot Gen was also adapted as an anime movie and it's... rough. Another heart-wrenching anime related to the bombings is Grave of the Fireflies.

The issue with traffic stops, particularly "random" ones instead of "road is cordoned off, and every vehicle coming along is checked" checkpoints, is that they tend to be very selective in enforcement.

Basically, if you look somewhat rich (e.g. in a suit) or in trades clothings, and your car isn't too shabby you won't get stopped randomly.

Someone driving a beater though because that's all they can afford? Perfect target for "random" traffic spots.

Such a fascinating quote. It would be as welcome in red pill dating circles as it would be in the business context
There's nothing scary about clinical decision support systems. We have had those in use for years prior to the advent of LLMs. None of them have ever been 100% accurate. If they meet the criteria to be classed as regulated medical devices then they have to pass FDA certification testing regardless of the algorithm used. And ultimately the licensed human clinician is still legally and professionally accountable for the diagnosis regardless of which tools they might have used in the process.
"Splitp soup?"
"T"

We used to even use this in speech sometimes, especially when funny (say, agreeing to share Hot and Sour soup at Mary's, for which the conversation above would work well).

Note the amusing pointlessness of p in this case since when speaking you'd pronounce a question anyway.
They seem to be paying more attention to YouTube rather than the search engine.

What's more, Google is better at developing Android than it is as a search engine, that's why I started to pay for Kagi.
If you are ever in the area at the right time, I highly recommend the JPL open house. One might even plan a trip around that.

You get to walk through everything, stand right next to the exact copy of of a Mars rover, and talk to the principals involved. It was the coolest thing that I did in the 3 years that I lived in LA.

I conceptually think of Java in the same family of languages as the "scripting" languages as it still (in its default distributions) is a garbage-collected language running on top of a virtual machine instruction set, and allows you to do stuff with dynamic typing / duck-typing and reflection at runtime that less experienced developers (me, as a CS undergrad) can make use of. Compared to stricter typed compiled languages that less experienced devlopers (me, as a CS postgrad) had an inevitable learning curve with. It was slower than it used to be, over time it has had improvements to the language which have introduced progressive increases in performance but also introduced backwards incompatabilities.

RE "scripting" vs "compiled" - I'm probably using the semantics wrong :p

To me, "scripting" is more like... Rexxx, or Lua, or Bash. Stuff that's turing complete but more restricted in how you can express things in the code, or sandboxed (designed to be embedded). Python may have started off designed to be embedded as a scripting language, but these days it's a very very general purpose _predominantly interpreted_ language, considering where it's used and the libraries it has. It's not just used inside of Blender or OpenResty for example.

I'd argue the same about Perl and PHP. If people (psychopaths) are content with using PHP-Gtk to make _desktop_ apps, does it count as scripting language the same way "Lua embedded as a way to make Source Engine entities interactive" is a scripting language? :p

> FAANG companies such as Facebook can pick and choose from the highest caliber developers.

Sure - they have lots of money. They're also very, very big companies, with offices all over the world. Look at the sheer amount of people they hired which they backtracked on later "oops, we hired too many of you, haha, sorry! layoff time!". It doesn't take 10+ years of experience to come fresh from a coding bootcamp, complete the Google code test and become a Noogler in the "Wear OS performance metrics" team writing boilerplate AsyncTasks that call UrlRequests all day every day. Plus on the positive side they encourage people to join through undergrad / new grad schemes. Like, isn't there a whole thing about people _starting_ their tech careers in FAANG corps?
I believe that's a nasty implementation detail of Oracle and not a problem for anybody using anything else.

A generated UUID, if possible, is probably much more clear because it will only be there if it was inserted very deliberately.

But at that point honestly I'd usually prefer breaking the field out into its own table.
> More distant than that. It all comes from Euclid. Who, you know, was actually tremendously successful in that project.

I of course know of his Elements, but is there any evidence that Euclid was an axiomatic reductionist? Was he trying to turn everything into an axiomatic system? I regrettably don't know enough about him and should probably rectify that (any book suggestions?).
Yes, in isolation. But it the electricity production is burning gas, the inefficiency is moved to the power plant rather than avoided (this still makes EVs better, just not as good as they could be in a completely carbon-free grid).

The main effect of mass is when comparing 2 different EVs: one that is twice as heavy has ~twice the initial production emissions, as well as twice the energy consumption (and emissions, as the case may be). Even with EVs, large and heavy cars are very wasteful.
Perhaps the thing to do is put it in a git repository, so people can retrieve the version they want.
I wonder if Twitter.com will be abandoned on Jan 21 2024? Someone can claim it and start their own website called Twitter.

The difference between public and private space is pretty clear.
> great companies can have an enormous upside for countries (e.g., taxes and employment)

A company split into multiple still provides taxes and employment. And the employment conditions tend to improve, since there would be more companies competing for employees.

> too strict actions may hamper innovation by signalling to innovators that you will be punished if you achieve too much

And monopolies hamper innovation by reducing the competitive pressure to innovate. Necessity is the mother of invention.

Let's look at what kind of "innovations" Microsoft used to grow - pushed an over-complicated OOXML standard, and implemented it in their products incorrectly, to make it harder for LibreOffice to interoperate, since they were forced to follow a complex standard and reproduce Microsoft's bugs: https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-netwo...

There are countless similar examples, going back to railroads charging more to carry competitor's goods.
The film was fascinating, quite nuanced, and beautifully shot. It’s about people, their relationships, and the evolution of their worldviews much more than it was about a detonation.
> As a counterargument, I read somewhere that the number one way that serious criminals are caught is due to motor vehicle violations.

Seems entirely consistent to me. If traffic stops are (nearly) the only thing police do, that is the only way police will find criminals. It doesn't mean it's a good way.
If grade school is for socialization than it should be focused on socialization. Group activities, athletic competitions, creative projects, theater performances, etc.
Unpopular indeed. Opinions don't exist to be voiced, and nobody asked.
> What we want is the police to prevent crime, not stop it.

Police aren't a hammer, that is the first problem.

A lot of crime comes from poverty, drug usage and mental health issues. Fix that and crime goes down, without the followup costs of throwing people into jail where nothing improves in their lives.
> but devalue it because they don't understand it.

No one is devaluing it. I'm certainly not. Rather it is highlighting that humans are vulnerable, by genetic design. And it requires actual help to reprogram the brain. To take on the burden alone is quite a difficult and insurmountable task.

For your (a) and (b) you are definitely entitled to your opinion on how you want to be viewed and treated in the world. This is very much the same as women arguing that men should not have a say over their bodies; bodily autonomy is a human right, not a right reserved for only white men.
> It is offensive in the sense that most people don't like being called bastards

Their employment in a bastardizing profession is entirely voluntary, and they can forego that employment in favor of earning an honest living at their leisure.
Uh did you even read the article? Thats one of their points
> because once made, distributing the thing and making more money is trivial. So, getting an ongoing cut of the proceeds is important.

But why are you so fixated on "getting an ongoing cut"? Thanks to finance, we can calculate the net present value of any perpetual income stream. There's nothing really different between getting paid $1000, and getting paid $500 + perpetual income stream that has a net present value of $500.
> it itself does not offer itself up as a library

yeah, it does:

incarceration rates in the US have been higher than anyone else by a huge margin for decades. it doesn't help anyone. it keeps people, families, communities perpetually in poverty.
If someone argues: "cats are bad at rodent control because they spend very little time each day catching mice" that might be missing the point. But a better analogy might be "cats are bad at rodent control because they spend very little time each day catching mice, and I keep seeing mice-droppings everywhere".

Pulling away from the analogy, the argument seems to be "There is a lot of hints that high-level crime still persists, and yet cops aren't spending much time fixing it, so their job must not be fighting high-level crime".
This was shocking to me when I traveled. Worse, traffic stops are a major cause of deaths for officers and drivers. What's the urgency to chase down and ticket traffic infractions when cameras seem extremely effective elsewhere?

Edit: I've often wondered why someone didn't put a license plate reader at every on/off ramp. You can compute speed from the elapsed time and there's no way to game/avoid/learn the positions of the cameras. Purge readings that don't generate tickets, for privacy. Wouldn't take many cameras.
Why the U.S. economy is so immune to rate hikes
My point is that if your goal is to teach people, you should care about framing things in a way that's conducive to the people who you want to teach. Dismissing fairly common insecurities because you don't happen to have them will significantly reduce your effectiveness at teaching, and if you don't find it worth the time to take into account feedback about how to craft your messaging more effectively, I'd argue that your priority never really was teaching in the first place.

Looking at the causes of action, the tortious interference claim is going down in smoke, because one of the elements is that the breach of contract needs to have harmed Twitter, and Twitter hasn't alleged any harm. Which is surprising, because you could pretty much just write a sentence that basically says that scraping causes extra load or extra instability or whatnot and that would satisfy Twiqbal, but there's not even that.

As for the other claims, it seems to boil down to "scraping is against our ToS, and therefore they breached their contract." I'm not savvy enough on the case law to know how strong of a claim this is, but on a first inspection, I've noticed something curious. Twitter talks about a couple of ways that scraping would breach their ToS and then when talking about Bright Data, they don't quite allege that Bright Data did any of those, just that it engaged in scraping.

(It also feels to me like someone started drafting up a claim on violating the CFAA, until another lawyer tapped them on the shoulder and informed them that 9th Circuit precedent from last year is that scraping is absolutely not a CFAA violation.)
Givental uses this viewpoint too in his differential equations class notes. It may soothe students who notice a disjunction between linear independence of functions and that of vectors.
Counterpoint: possible sampling bias because traffic stops are one of the most common pretexts for police searches.
police behave essentially the same problematic way in france, germany and a lot more countries

While I think this law is bonkers, "then only criminals will have guns" style arguments are terrible counterpoints.

They depend on a 5 year old's view of the world where there are "good guys" and "bad guys" and nobody is a bit in-between. They also use the same oversimplification that economists are famous for - that everyone has perfect information, acts completely rationally, has infinite motivation, etc. etc.

In the real world, criminality is a spectrum and difficulty is a real thing.
This doesn't even make sense on it's own terms. Libraries are communal resources. If you're worried about information available to individuals, what you care about is the ease with which people can procure their own physical books, not how they share them with their communities.
Wow this has a lot of great distillation in it. I am always impressed with CMU output.

There are serious problems in the way we allocate spending.

A half dozen critical problems can be solved by attacking the problem from that direction.

For one thing we keep building Abrams tanks that the army doesn’t want or need.
We’re unable to manufacture critical surface to air missiles. Go down this rabbit hole and follow the first half dozen branches.

We keep hemorrhaging money on the f35
The military has been trying to shift to small and nimble for years. There’s a specific plan and playbook. Somehow the spending doesn’t follow the desired strategic direction.

Fucking cyber. Offense, defense, we got nothin. Train, recruit, retain.

Take three steps fixing the way we spend, then come back and we can talk about spending more.
As the saying goes, if everyone is part of the state, nobody is part of the state. At some scale, human organizations start to break down.
They aren’t going to wield power because “talk fast and derail the entire conversation with unrelated arguments that appeal to far-left college students” isn’t going to convince any normal people of anything and is not a useful rhetorical technique.

That's GABA Labs.[1] They've been working on this for years. They have a product, called "Sentia". It's plant-based and "natural", which avoids some regulatory problems. Their better product is an entirely synthetic molecule.

It's self-limiting. It's said to produce a pleasant buzz, but more of it won't produce drunkenness.

You can buy Sentia. It's insanely expensive.[2]

> iOS isn’t supported.

Surprising, is it not just using leaflet or something similar for displaying the tiles? Or is it some 3d visualization?
There's also pretty clear ways to protect privacy in public. Cameras should only collect photos when they detect a violation.
Sounds like you're moving the goalposts after your phrenology ran headlong into expertise.
According to a 2015 survey[1], 56% of US Americans say the bombings were justified, while 34% say they were not. This relatively positive (or non-negative) assessment of the A-bombs might have influenced their portrayal in "Oppenheimer", an American production. The Japanese re-screening of "Hiroshima" might be aimed at countering their depiction in "Oppenheimer".
