I try to take a charitable, open-minded position in this.

Two of us in the cybershow are parents. Taking on analysis of this
bill was a tough decision, but something we felt obliged and
qualified to do as parents and security experts.

There are obviously grave harms around digital technology, plus its
obvious myriad benefits. Covert communications enabling criminal and
anti-social activity is just one small part.

Our thought experiment is to assume good faith. To assume the
government is sincerely invested in doing it's job of protecting
citizens. Then to figure out how this has gone so wrong.

Who are the marginal influencers? Why is the standard of technical
expertise and computer science in our government so woefully
inadequate. Why has saving face become more important than actually
tackling difficult issues?

I would characterise our UK government as confused and frustrated.

Perhaps we should be pleased our government is tenacious in pursuing a
bill whose aims we broadly support. But a mixture of prideful
ego-politics, poor advice and technologically laughable solutionism
has led us into a corner. That's not a good look for a country that
started the industrial and digital revolutions.

In the home computer era we rarely played on the keyboard, Joysticks were ubiquitous. Playing action games on the keyboard gained only in popularity with the rise of the PC and roughly at the same time game pads displaced the Joystick, which was relegated to the flight similator niche.
Religion is always interpreted by people and how they interpret and act on the text becomes the religion itself. If you read the Bible, you'll find Christians don't follow most of the stuff written there and do follow a lot of stuff that is nowhere to be found in the bible (the Trinity, for example).

You can't really separate the religion from its culture is what I'm saying. If you go to into a cave and practice your own pure form of Islam, that is commendable, but has no impact on the rest of the world and thus isn't worthy of discussion.

The text from your link is much better described that women are allowed to work outside the home, but only if a long list of conditions are met, most of which will not be true for workplaces in Western countries, e.g. that all coworkers must also be women.
A Talib courtroom. This is not representative of sharia courtrooms generally. This akin to looking at a drumhead courts marshal and describing it as a "Christian" commonlaw court.

The common law could learn a lot from Sharia law, just not the punishments. (Although even those harsh punishments are rather similar to common law punishments of not long ago.)
Want a trial in your own language? Want a codified standard of proof for specific crimes? You won't get those under the common law. You would in Sharia.
"in vitro/ex vivo methods of reproduction only entrench human alienation"

I absolutely disagree with your view. Infertility is a medical condition much like cataract or myocardial infarction.

In my view, it is profoundly unethical to deny unhealthy people efficient treatment of their disease for philosophical reasons. You are straying dangerously close to the "life unworthy of life" eugenics that is, fortunately, overcome. Trying to ban other people from procreating because your personal opinion on the necessary means is "phew, icky" (and for all the grand words in your comment, you basically say "phew, icky"), sounds like it is you who hasn't taken any lessons from the experience of the collective West.

Chicago doesn't stand for corruption, they demand it, yet voters continue to approve and send the same people back, so Chicagoans must also approve of the corruption.

The OP's point (presumably, because it bugged me too) is that the article doesn't make this clear.
The question should not be whether or not people have "free will" over their actions, since free will is impossible to emperically measure. Rather, the question should be whether deterrence and/or rehabilitation have measurable impacts on how people behave.

Does Policy X reduce Crime Y? If yes, then it doesn't matter if people have free will or not, Policy X is effective. If no, then it doesn't matter if people have free will or not, Policy X is not effective. Either way the cookie crumbles, free will doesn't matter. So the question of free will is quite literally irrelevant.

The company (BIS Records) is older than Apple itself.

That's not the most common pattern in tech acquisitions. The targets are usually either small and fairly new companies that provide some new tech or talent, or large and old companies that provide an established market (e.g. Compaq buying Digital, or AOL buying Time Warner).

> Both are too old fashioned and should be discarded or amended.

While I'm not supporting Sharia in any way, I support its amendment rather than complete abandonment, because a) it's easier and allows an iterative and a more acceptable way forward for its practitioners, b) It's supposed to evolve with times, anyway.

I remember talking with a religion teacher that one of the most prominent Sharia law books start with "These laws are made for this era. Modernize and change them when times change".

I think it's too inconvenient to preserve that page for some people.

Seeing the regulation and accountability hammers falling upon us sure is scary.

But.

Isn’t it past time we actually get accountable for our work? Isn’t it past time we provide some form of guarantee of merchantability and suitability for some purpose? Sure amateur work should not be forbidden. But come on, when we sell something for profit, we should be accountable when it falls short of its promises.

I don’t know how to best handle it. I’m even pretty sure some unintended consequences are inevitable (though they can probably be minimised). Still, do we really want to keep the status quo, where we can sell insecure software and never be liable for this? Most other industries are liable already, why wouldn’t we?

One thing’s for sure: voting with our wallets clearly isn’t enough. One way or another our market needs a little reshaping.
Assuming <data> will be a key-value-object aka dict, it would be something like this:

import json
data = json.loads('<data>')
bar = None
if foo:=data.get('foo'):
bar = foo[0].bar
print(bar)

If you can't be sure to get a dict, another type-check would be necessary. If you read from a file or file-like-object (like sys.stdin), json.load should be used.

crackpot idea

A respectable philosophical idea with thousands of years behind it, and new impetus the past couple of decades.

Always best to have at least a basic understanding of a subject before using such dismissive terms.

You can read about it here:

Oh, and the Netherlands also holds provably completely sham court cases where the authorities pervert the course of justice in order to shutdown repercussions of criminal activity that they have been involved in.
From my reading the critique seems to be sensible, often correcting simple facts such as the launch date of Gagarin or the fact that the rockets always launched eastward, as westward launches are nonsensical for the location of the space centre.

I don’t know quite how to feel about it, seems that the book did exaggerate a lot of facts in order to tell a story and perhaps should be categorised as a historical fiction, but that does not quite make the book worthless, as even a good story can be a launching point for many talented young women to get into science.

Makes me wonder how many other things I’ve watched and read were edited for the purpose of telling a better story.

Certainly not a reason to cite 1984 though.

long live the sharp stick of metal ?

What a terrible take. Yes, ls is maintained. Although, maintained is a very strong word. It exists. It's getting a few maintenance commits here and there, and in the mean time, it's feature done. It won't evolve anymore. Just like how exa will keep existing, and won't evolve anymore. Exa also does a hell of a lot more than ls, so will LSD, Eza and others. But keep using the sharp stick of metal if it makes you feel better.

I’m waiting for a real world implementation of an elevator that moves horizontally and vertically. There are a number of promo videos for it, but nothing actualized.
Every so often, very late at night, I used to browse Google Images (before it became unusable for this task) for toys and games of my childhood. The sensation of nostalgia, and then sharing the finds with my brothers, was pretty intense and joyful.

I'm guessing those who love elevators or similar hobbies are experiencing the same kinds of emotions.
DSPy: Framework for programming with foundation models
DSPy provides composable and declarative modules for instructing LMs in a familiar Pythonic syntax and an automatic compiler that teaches LMs how to conduct the declarative steps in your program. Specifically, the DSPy compiler will internally trace your program and then craft high-quality prompts for large LMs (or train automatic finetunes for small LMs) to teach them the steps of your task.
Correct. I don't think the CEO of Y can ever say "I'm the CEO of Y and here's a link to a blog on Y company website about something related to Y company that I think is worth sharing here" and have it be astro-turfing for Y. It might be advertising or even spamming. It might become too frequent or annoying or otherwise negative.

I follow TTN (and Helium), have a TTN gateway plugged in, and a dozen or so LoRa dev boards sitting around (two are within reach, albeit buried under some dust of recent disuse).

I find the LoRa tech interesting in general and a new RF distance record specifically interesting, whether it's on the TTN blog, the Helium site, on an Andreas Spiess video, or elsewhere. It sounds like you have some relevant history with the company's behavior that is shaping your opinion of their action here. We perceive their action here differently as a result.
I wonder if it is possible an animal can edit its own DNA based on things it observed with its senses in the environment.

Eg Beetle observes kin dying via termite melee, encodes a potential solution in the DNA for the next generation.
If we admit nobody can be blamed for their actions, we can't punish them and thus the incentives not to do bad things disappear and the whole shebang collapses.

That's not true. You can put people behind bars, say for example murderers, without blaming them for what did but in order to protect others. Even today we will, for example, lock people with dangerous mental illnesses up in order to protect others from them, even if we know that what they did, they did because of some condition outside of their control.
There is still a possible, but very difficult and improbable, way out of this.

The appropriate legislature can change contract law. This may be difficult if it’s federal law that needs changing, but it’s still possible.

If necessary, new judges can be appointed/elected who will decide in the city’s favor.

Then they can take a new case to court and have the contract voided.
Obviously it has never occurred to Musk that perhaps he is the one infected with an illogical and contradictory "mind virus".

This could well explain why a self described "free speech absolutist" would seek to suppress discussions he doesn't agree with --- including gender identity and communism.

Musk is just another comical example of a staunch regressive struggling to force fit a multi-shaded world into his limited black and white/binary vision.
> It does. When we look at criminals we nowadays take into account medical and psychological conditions, we are aware that people are not always in full control of what they are doing.

But that doesn't change anything one way or the other. The efficacy of policies can be determined by measuring the outcomes. Policies which reduce crime / recidivism rates are good; policies that don't are bad. Whether or not anybody has free will makes no difference, the outcomes are what they are whether or not people have free will.

If raising the DUI fine 10x causes a drop in DUI rates, then that's a good policy even if people don't have free will. And if it has no effect on DUI rates, then it's an ineffectual policy even if people have free will. Free will is irrelevant, measurable outcomes are what matters.

Yep, there were a few of free dial up ISPs that came and went like BlueLight and NetZero. I took a more crude approach to work around the banner and used Internet Connection Sharing in Win98 from a second PC and kept the monitor off.
> Or would that need to have the code for F already on those remote vms

yes.

but you can also send the code to the remote VM

for example in Elixir you can `Code.compile_string` which returns the name of the module and the code as binary (beam bytecode)

You can then send that bytecode to another VM and load it in the remote VM using

:rpc.call('node@remote_host', :code, :load_binary, [the_module_name, "filename_doesnt_really_matter", binary_code])

and then spawn it

spawn('node@remote_host', my_module, my_function, [args])
Technically though OpenAI is just using 10 year old tech with some newer training models... is that not the same as old chords, new tunes?

> then Germany couldn't realistically win in the West anymore.

They don't need to win in the West. That's my point. Germany has no interest in the West. The only thing they care about is stopping the French from passing over the border.

> Thing is, they didn't.

My point was, the analysis that 'Germany couldn't win a 2 Front war' is wrong. Its central to German conception of strategy in that period and it was incorrect.

The overestimated both France and Russia in terms of their abilities.

> US played a much smaller role in WW1 than people think

Actually is played a much bigger role. Read Adam Tooze book 'The Deluge'. The US economy was essentially fully mobilized by Britain with the help of JP Morgan.

And once they joined they provided even more. That's why after WW1 the US was basically a financial super-power.

And the military reserves were very important, and influenced allied strategy.
Show HN: Security Compliance in Context (I am starting a side project)
Hello,

I have been engineer in the security compliance domain for a good while. And I have grown increasingly disillusioned by the number of standards, frameworks, policies, requirements and certifications. The information space is so big that even professionals in the space cannot know everything. So, I have decided to become a librarian and to create a website that would put these things in a context and allow engineers to get a quick reference what IA-8.2, APO10.04, BP28(R13), CCI-001494, SR 7.6, A.9.1.2, CIP-003-8 R4.2, PR.DS-5, or SRG-OS-000256-GPOS-00097 mean.

Hope someone will find it useful.

Not even close.

The specific case I know you're talking about is the woman who was in an exclusion zone that was in place to stop people harassing women entering an abortion clinic.

If she doesn't want "praying silently in her head" to be interpreted as harassment, maybe she should think about the behaviour she and her cohorts have engaged in that might have lead to this interpretation.

Sure, you can disagree with that as well, but she wasn't arrested for praying. She was arrested for intimidation and harassment. She doesn't get a special pass just because of the method.
I have the same questions, more so because if it happens over a long time it’s not sustainable. The beetle population can be in some weird in-between state which could be tough for their survival.
Everyone who has exa installed and setup aliases now has to uninstall, install a new tool, and edit their workflows.

exa is dead. People can move to yet another ls replacement, but they can't stay on exa.
Okay. Why not add a configuration option for this then so people who know what they are doing would be able to opt in for the more secure way?
And it will still lack many of the features that exa has. Although it's no longer maintained, I suspect it will also continue to work for a long time. There's also a fork that is still maintained.

Personally, I tend to avoid using replacements for POSIX tools in any shell scripts where possible for this reason. But in terms of what I use day-to-day in interactive sessions, I'll take whatever improvements modern tools will give.
