I run a mailserver and spam is actually not a big issue for me at all. Blocking hosts with no rDNS, residential IPs and no dkim already blocks all the spammers who simply scan all the IP addresses and rspamd kills the rest. Granted, I don't post my email publicly on linkedin or other but I get no spam in my inbox.

Hasn’t done me any good yet. It doesn’t get me through applications, and it doesn’t help when interviews just want you to regurgitate things with perfect accuracy/timing. Plus it’s hard to put it on a resume, when a lot of the more impressive things I’ve managed to do don’t fit in with my work experience.

I’ve wondered about dev advocate roles before. I don’t see them as much as I used to though. I guess I’m just not sure how to write a resume for something completely different then what my work experience says I’m qualified for.

Canada's billionaires are akin to Russia's oligarchs, they're leveraging personal connections with the elite to have effectively taxation power on the population. Whether you like American style billionaires, the Canafian ones are not the same thing, more like kleptocrats which is why they've got the government pushing for this tax.
We don't have a way to safely run a given executable without unknown and unknowable side effects. We're nowhere near understanding computers well enough to engineer them. Until we make computers as safe and reliable as household wiring, in terms of fault conditions, it doesn't make sense to require knowing the "state of the art", as it's all still guesswork.

Doug Lenat, RIP.
I worked at Cycorp in Austin from 2000-2006. Taken from us way too soon, Doug none the less had the opportunity to help our country advance military and intelligence community computer science research.

One day, the rapid advancement of AI via LLMs will slow down and attention will again return to logical reasoning and knowledge representation as championed by the Cyc Project, Cycorp, its cyclists and Dr. Doug Lenat.

Why? If NN inference were so fast, we would compile C programs with it instead of using deductive logical inference that is executed efficiently by the compiler.
I have similar reservations for proliferation of the nuclear energy as a whole. Currently, these devices need careful handling and we appear to have enough smart and serious people to do just that however I don't trust having enough of those people if we had a reactor in every city.

But on the other hand we have managed to have air travel(which also relies on meticulous maintenance and operations) very safe despite sharp increase of flight over the years, so it must be possible to find a way to make it work.

Iowa recently (2021) passed a bill allowing parents to teach their children to drive instead of requiring an instructor led class. I can't wait to see the results of allowing people who cannot navigate a roundabout to be responsible for teaching their children how to drive.

The new design no longer has a stalk for the turn signal (like most cars), instead getting some capacitive touch buttons. I think that's a big downside here.
3 is the following function:
3 == lambda x: 3*x

But I think that the technical, mathematical way to think about it is:

The monoid of linear functions L:R->R is isomorphic to the monoid (R, *)

Meaning, the structure of 1x1 matrices under multiplication is exactly the same as the structure of real numbers under multiplication.

Oh My... 99% of users are not affected only companies which have profit motive.

Do not forget it is those companies which provide the choice to the users and Hashicorp strives to restrict their choice.

Hashicorp should not be seen in the vacuum. What is point of it all ? The point is Hashicorp is looking to monetize their ecosystem better, meaning making things more expensive for customers.

You probably seen RedHat's play - kill CentOS to improve RHEL monetization, not enough ? Take the next step to try to kill off some alternatives

You can, I posted the link in different comment, you can load everything, but you haven't bothered to look or explore, but using pagination means you never seen everything anyways. I don't think most people come across a 500 comment issue and need to start in the middle. They're reading top down and expanding as they get deeper into the conversation.

They're literally using pagination to display the issues, you can see it yourself. You think I'm a younger person because I disagree with you? That's classic. You're the only one I see complaining, I have no issues with it. If anything it sounds like you don't understand GitHub and you're unwilling to learn anything new or or even try to overcome your old and decrepit ways with tools that are readily available and simple to use. Whatever..., btw I'm well over the hill.
I’m not going to go homeless, be starved, imprisoned, or killed by security forces if I stop using Twitter.

As for the rest of your comment, I have no clue what it has to do with what I posted. My point was that when talking about a system and its negative outcomes, it is pointless and often disingenuous to immediately mention another system. It blurs the topic and takes away from real analysis and critique.

Let’s talk about how this system developed in the US on its own merits, and when that is well understood, maybe then compare it to other systems.

How do you fix the routes? I just checked out the suggested route from my work to home and it doesn't stick to the bike greenways or streets with bikelanes. It actually suggested I take a very dangerous road with no bike traffic at all. How can I help improve that?
In my experience it takes just a minute or two
I think the mathematical concept that you are looking for is that of the dual space. Essentially if you have a vector space V, you can construct a dual space V* where the elements of the dual space are functions taking elements of V to the underlying field F, and under certain conditions these spaces are isomorphic (the same) - so there is a 1:1 correspondence between elements of the vector space and the functions in the dual space.

I’m sure it depends on the type of prediction task, right?

Current LLMs are trying to predict typical human prose from samples pulled from the internet. So it isn’t as if they are sacrificing quality for quantity. A bunch of text from the internet is a very good representation of typical human prose. Whether it is well written or the descriptions contained in the prose accurately represent, like, actual physical reality is another issue.

Maybe they want to predict something with, like, less dimensionality but more utility than a paragraph of fiction.
> Tracing diversity back further leads the authors to estimate that 98.7 percent of the ancestral population was lost in a sudden collapse. The event was what's termed a bottleneck, as the entire population went through a sudden and narrow constriction.

I'm seeing a new Far Side comic: An alien in his flying saucer is unhappily reading "Guaranteed 98.7% Effective" in the fine print on a giant can of pesticide. An obviously-teeming-with-humans Earth looms outside his saucer's bubble top.

More seriously: How might similar events, on other planets, have affected some of the factors in the Drake Equation?

The Book of Experiments (1958) [pdf] - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32115354 - July 2022 (42 comments)
Funnily enough, that book is on my nightstand at this point. Thank you for putting words in my mouth, I'm not the one insulting politicians here. I'm neither a rabid conservative nor a woke progressive. I'm a moderate, a centrist. I represent the silent majority that's looking for a balanced perspective and finds itself increasingly frustrated with the extremism on both sides of the spectrum. As far as I and others like me are concerned, the progressives and the reformers can cast off somewhere and fight each other to the death. Leave the country to those who know how to run it.
The risk mitigation is insurance. Yes, in the USA it is expensive and a pain (and it varies a lot by geographic area.) But since the ACA went into effect, you CAN obtain insurance if you are sick, and it will be subsidized if your income drops below a certain threshold. It isn't like the pre-ACA days where you often could not get insurance for any price if you were sick and/or unemployed. That is the situation you are worried about, and it has been mitigated to a large extent if you keep your insurance coverage up to date, before you can get the USA's socialized health care, which is just for those over 65.

Moving to another country may have other health benefits (life expectancy is better for all income levels in the EU, for instance) but overall income vs. expenses may not change much - it sometimes just feels worse in the US because staying insured is more DIY. Salaries can be quite a bit higher in the US, which may more than offset the difference (of course depends on the situation...)
Are people actually using Robinhood for anything serious?

Personally, if something goes wrong with my money, there needs to be someone on a phone line somewhere to call. I don't understand why anyone would settle for _nonexistant_ customer service.
I'm happy to see some competitors entering the market. Playing Breath of the Wild on switch was a pivotal experience. I felt a distorted sense of being tethered when using my PC for a while.

I really like my steam deck, but the screen is lacking and Valve is not exactly known for their enduring hardware support.
For the Nintendo Switch, it was used to dump some firmware which was then analysed and found to have a buffer exploit (can't remember what sort), which let to the famous Fusee Gelee exploit on early switches. IIRC it was a security chip which is both ironic and incredibly useful because it couldn't be patched without a hardware revision and it ran before anything loaded from the onboard storage.
It's worth noting that every result you wanted here does have a Wikipedia article. (If they hadn't, then their absence wouldn't be as strange.)

Don’t ruin their fiction with facts.
No, I'm afraid you are mistaken what is scary about these.

People have "launch the nuke, abort the nuke, fly back to base and land safely without exploding" already. That is called a nuclear armed bomber.

The scary thing about these is that their propulsion is a nuclear reactor. You know how in a jet engine the air is heated up by burning fuel? Here the air is heated up by comming into contact with the reactor. They exhaust fission products while they fly. To quote from the page: "The other major problem with the SLAM concept was the environmental damage caused by radioactive emissions during flight, and the disposal of the reactor at the end of the mission. Merkle estimated that about 100 grams of fission products would be produced, which would be dispersed over a wide area."

This thing is by design, when nothing goes wrong leaves a contrail of radioactive contamination behind it. And when things go wrong it leaves even more contamination.

And the funny thing is, the Russians are still experimenting with this tech: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9M730_Burevestnik

And predictably as they were trying to scope their test wreckage from the sea floor they managed to have a radiation incident with it in 2019: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyonoksa_radiation_accident

(As you can read the exact circumstances are disputed, but I believe this is the most likely explanation of what we have seen.)
Used to love Anandtech, but I agree, it has lost its mojo over the past few years.
You're expecting a stable address, but that's a different thing.

Rust will move structs to a new address if it needs to, but still enforce that there's semantically a single instance (its old address becomes inaccessible).
Why should an ISP know more about a child’s Internet activity than the parents?

For what it’s worth my personal philosophy would be trust, but verify. That necessarily entails some way to verify.

Furthermore, in many jurisdictions parents are civilly or even potentially criminally liable for their childrens’ activities. If you’re in one of those jurisdictions you have a duty to prevent your child from breaking the relevant laws or other rules.
It's completely reasonable to ask for evidence. Don't apologise for asking!

I'm not part of any state, and I don't have access to any special knowledge that you can't find on the internet.

I'm also not aware of any study that provides the very direct link you're asking for. Because of the nature of E2EE, I don't know if it would be possible to produce one. What I can do is link to evidence such as https://www.weprotect.org/global-threat-assessment-21/#repor..., which has (to me) some fairly compelling data showing that the magnitude of the problem is increasing.
IANAL, but has your lawyer tried talking to the DA in GA? Or - are there any federal law (vs. state law) aspects to the case, for you to try dealing with the FBI (or other federal law enforcement)?
I'm sorry if this comes across as curt, but can't you just decide to not do that? Decide to not look at the examples in the book, but write it from the explanation instead. You could even forego the book and just sit down with a piece of paper and do the work from first principles. You might not come up with the most efficient algorithm, but you'll have a foothold into understanding the one you can then go and look up.

Can you give us proof that you currently work at Meta?
You could choose to interpret it as marketing spend or "buying relationships", sure. For me, there's enough negativity in the world - I don't want to spend time imagining more.

And why would I? A16Z have already explicitly stated their intent: "a thriving open source ecosystem is essential to building [ai's] future" and "We’ll support a small group of open source developers through grant funding (not an investment or SAFE note), giving them the opportunity to continue their work without the pressure to generate financial returns."

There's not a lot of spin on this. They want to be a leader in AI so they're investing in the people who build the tools that they use in pursuit of their commercial goals.

If URIs aren't permitted to change, they require inalterable time and/or content elements to them. Probably ownership/authorship as well.

Because otherwise, this becomes an increasingly futile (and frustrating) Quixotic quest.
That and a rather declining tech scene. Most places are agile shops cargo culting supposedly good practice, yet somehow software systems fail spectacularily (banks, airports, government sites, ecommerce, etc). Probably because talent is diverted to higher paying, modern, locations.
