For some context, I think some of the key legal points in here was that the he was fired because urinary analysis showed THC metabolites in his blood from the small amount of THC in the CBD. Part of the legal reasoning is that he knew the risk:

"Mr Armour understood...that CBD products containing no more than 0.3 percent of THC are legal hemp [and not marijuana]"

However, it looks like one of the CBD products he used were advertised as below the legal limit was not. But part of the problem identified is that the law identifies a threshold but not necessarily a required confidence against that threshold because it was close.

"Mr Armour provided what remained of the three CBD products and asked them to be tested...DEA's chemical analysis showed that two CBD products were legal...chemical analysis of [the third CBD product] measured THC above the 0.3 percent legal limit, even though that analysis was unable to establish whether THC was above the legal limit to a scientific degree of certainty with 95 percent confidence"

It also says that he assumed the risk because "he also understood that the FDA does not regulate CBD products".

So from the legal analysis there are two interesting points to me

1. He can argue that all of the CBD products he took were below the legal limit within a margin of error (burden of proof and all that)
2. Since he took legal products (assuming #1 holds) that the threshold for the urinary analysis is incorrect.

But I'm also not sure where the line is if you can take enough of a legal substance to violate a limit. For example, what if I drank enough orange juice (ABV in the ~0.2-~0.7% range) to get above a DUI limit? I assume I'm still legally culpable. What is the recourse though if somebody dumped some vodka in my orange juice before I bought from the store. There's certainly some recourse against the orange juice supplier since it is a controlled substance.

More of an interesting thought experiment, playing devils advocate here. Maybe this will actually spark something in changing definitions though. When I got my security clearance they basically said "we don't want to deal with the legal distinction between CBD products and marijuana products, so just don't touch any of it"

I wittnessed this very fuckery with my own eyes just two weeks ago:

I don't know how or why that happens, I just know I need to get away from it.
Thank you. I think your question can be similarly answered.

With constant surveillance:

1) individuals are incentivized to avoid expressing themselves in ways which their overseers dislike, especially if an expression draws punitive measures;

2) a particularly vulnerable person could be worried about being extorted with information that's discovered about them causing some pervasive increase in stress;

3) otherwise innocuous information about a person might indicate a Bad Thing which is only considered Bad well after the fact but might still be used against them in some social setting.
> love a tool to see which tabs are talking with each other also

Cool idea but probably not that useful and difficult to accomplish. There are many ways to communicate that could be grouped into:

1. tab -> tab (same domain)

2. tab -> tab (different domain)

3. tab -> server -> tab

For #1, there are so many ways to transfer information it would be hard to detect and differentiate whether it's communication or just happens to be using the same resource. (e.g. one sets a cookie or local storage and the other one reads it)

For #3, it would be impossible to detect. Especially if detection is an issue, both tabs could be communicating with unrelated servers which talk with each other.

For #2, it would be the only interesting one as there is limited options (e.g. Broadcast Channel), but at the same time I assume rarely used in practice. And if detection is an issue, they would switch to #3 to avoid it.
But they have 4 hours to reach out to the one plane whose flight plan didn't get processed and tell them to land somewhere else.
No matter where you stand, I think it's good that this is happening. The CA law might be overreaching whilst Twitter might be too lax. Hopefully a head-to-head brings clarity on an important topic.

With the CA law, EU regulation, app store policies and the like, a pretty powerful net is cast around the topic of speech. Specifically about speech that is technically legal yet considered unwelcome.

It's tempting to let judgement be clouded by a hate for Musk, but it's a topic worthy to think about more deeply beyond just X.

It's also revealing how this legislation only targets Big Tech. From a pragmatic point of view, this makes total sense. But it also shows that this legislation isn't based on first principles. It's a panicky patch on an open wound, not the definitive say on free speech.
Thanks for putting into words exactly how so many of us been feeling for the past few years. Last week Slack's UI changed, again, I lost precious time having to find the buttons I'm used to, again. It's not better or worse from my point of view, it's just different and that's very annoying.

> This seems to be a common personality trait in PMs and/or UX people.

They also are paid to do a job, and their job is to change the UI/UX... if you were paid to maintain a piece of software that would be pretty much done, you'd likely spend your time refactoring and fixing minor issues. Except not everything we do is visible to the user.
Ugh, you are right. That was a bit embarrassing :)
I find it plausible that it's often a good idea in medicine to be conservative before launching interventions that may have adverse side effects, but have difficulty swallowing the idea that this conservatism should be implemented by reducing visibility (eg by not applying tests too broadly if they have a nontrivial false positive rate and the condition is rare). It seems like the right thing to do would be to maximize visibility, but then to try to corroborate and not overreact to apparent positives.
However this is not the case for ipv6. Technically you can use only ::1, unless you do Ipv6 FREEBIND

VMM's such as firecracker and cloud-hypervisor translate between vsock and UDS. [1]

In recent kernel versions, sockmap also has vsock translation: <https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/5a8c8b72f65f6b80b52...>

This allows for a sort of UDS "transparency" between guest and host. When the host is connecting to a guest, the use of a multiplexer UDS is required. [1]

Yes, "toasted" is not "burned".
I actually wrote a long article on this [1]—and had a chance to interview some of the team that built the original version of VB that was sold to Microsoft. (Alan Cooper and Michael Geary; Michael actually frequents HN pretty regularly!)

My opinion is that it was a confluence of a few factors:

- Microsoft was very worried about the threat of Java/Sun, and rotated hard into .NET and the common language runtime as a response.

- The most vocal, but minority of VB users wanted more advanced functionality and a more powerful/expressive language (as is often the case). Couple with the shift to .NET, Microsoft listened to them: VB got a full rewrite into an object-oriented language and the IDE moved further away from the VB6 visual building paradigm. That left the silent majority high and dry.

- The web emerged. Working with the Win32 API was suddenly less relevant, and younger devs adopted PHP en masse, rather than adopting VB. (And existing VB6 devs upset about the change also migrated over when they could build for the web instead of Windows) Unforced error on Microsoft's part, since IE had 96% browser marketshare in 2001.

> But being imprisoned without having committed a crime is very unlikely to be considered a fault of the employee.

I would (without being a lawyer and without having a case to cite) suspect that in those cases it would be considered to be the fault of the employee. In many, if not all cases, they had prior arrests, indictments and some were even found guilty, yet announced further blockades. I guess to a judge, that should make it their fault.

It's a little bit more than that. Gaussians are view-dependent, which means that they can capture the full radiance field of the scene, rather than just the color and geometry of the objects. All the light bouncing around from different objects can be reproduced, including reflections etc.

The features are less important than the linear complexity.

It lowers to an NFA. An NFA can recognise any linear language, so adding more features affects the generation of the NFA, while increasing the performance involves faster matching against the NFA.

In this case he's done a followup with benchmarks where he's converting the NFA to a DFA ajd comparing favourably against both Node and your browers regexp engine with only a tiny little bit extra code:

That doesn't mean there isn't value to the rest of those 20k lines of code I referenced - that was not the point.

A lot of them adds a bunch of convenience, like a more expressive syntax that saves you from writing more convoluted regexps, and it presumably bought more performance than their previous, smaller iteration, every step up from a much smaller engine way back. I'm sure one could do better with less, but I'm also not dismissing that I'm sure each step was reasonable given the constraints.

But that too is also not the point. It was not about dismissing the size of the Ruby regexp engine as not worth it.

The point was that there is a very significant and rapid diminishing return, and that this explains why you can do so seemingly much with so very little, because the leap from no capability to something usable takes very little, but each subsequent increment will tend to buy you less, for more work.

That doesn't mean people should stop putting in that extra work and squeeze out a bit more. It just gives an answer to the question in the link.

You say we should blur out a druggie in the background.

I think the public needs to have the unedited video to know the truth.

For example, unedited police body cam videos can show if a neighborhood is getting better or worse over time.

Video of druggies shooting up over time can be used to retroactively track the distribution of a new illegal street drug.

I do understand the desire to blur the naked sexual assault victim, but there will be problems with that. If the video is unblurred, Internet sleuths can match multiple attacks to one attacker, or even discover several attacks in the same style and trace it back to a particular jail they were an in before where they learned techniques.
Yeah, 1000% this. The Java bridge was a catastrophe, and Objective-C worked beautifully with Cocoa.

And I thought I was adequately clear when I initially specified:

> Nothing bad will happen if we suddenly stopped all fossil fuel consumption and replaced it with renewable energy.

Do you really need me to repeat this for every subsequent reference to the hypothetical? You yourself acknowledged it in your first comment, so you obviously understood it.

But if you need me to, fine, replace the sentence you quoted with:

> It seems reasonable to me to assume that nothing bad would happen if we stopped fossil fuel consumption right now and replaced it with renewable energy.
I would define "real" as existing in 3D physical reality, not a mental state.

One test for reality, given this definition, is to remove all the humans from the scene. Afterward, does the situation still exist?

If not, then it's a fantasy state.

What many people consider to be "reality", is just humans agreeing to a given abstraction, like money. It's completely fictional. We just all agree to go along with the fantasy (try not going along with it and see how long it takes for guys w/ guns to show up at your door).

In many cases the only "reality" to these abstractions are human willingness to exert physical violence against those that don't comply.

To reassert from the original comment: not all of these abstractions are "bad", many are necessary for civilized life. But retaining the ability to distiquish the difference is also mandatory for staying grounded in "reality". A condition with is vanishing among many (first world) people...

Yes, I am aware of the pop psychology ideas. I just don’t see why I should believe them.

Doing things that you aren’t good at, that you haven’t effectively practiced, is tiring. If you aren’t an experienced driver, for instance, a lengthy, unfamiliar journey will feel exhausting. Once you get good, it’s second nature, and you don’t bat an eyelid.

It’s pretty simple. You don’t need to invent this concept about special types of people who are “tired” by social contact.
The big problem isn't compression - that can at least be disabled (in theory).

Modems expect a circuit-switched network which guarantees zero packet loss and zero jitter. Even if you connect using G.711 μ-law (uncompressed), you're still using a packet-switched network subject to packet loss and jitter. There's just no way around that.

In that regard nothing has changed. This setup is inherently unreliable. You can do it for fun, but trying to get it to work outside of a lab environment is never going to be production quality.

Evaluating LLM-assisted science writing
Access allowed maintained "relations" between tables, so you didn't need any code to have a master/detail relationship between tables, it just handled it all. This carried over to forms, queries, reports, etc. You could have a system with data entry, master/detail records, queries and reports built in a day, all without ever doing any SQL.

Through ODBC, you could connect to pretty much any database around. I think Office 2000 Professional was one of the best products Microsoft ever produced, it's all downhill since then.
Property and politics.

Property tends to go to descendants, but politics affect all.
I'm not sure the definition of "intention" the article suggests is a useful one. He tries to make it sound like he's being conservative:

> That is, we should ascribe intentions to a system if and only if it helps to predict and explain the behaviour of the system. Whether it really has intentions beyond this is not a question I am attempting to answer (and I think that it is probably not determinate in any case).

And yet, I think there's room to argue that LLMs (as currently implemented) cannot have intentions. Not because of their capabilities or behaviors, but because we know how they work (mechanically at least) and it is incompatible with useful definitions of the word "intent."

Primarily, they are pure functions that accept a sequence of tokens and return the next token. The model itself is stateless, and it doesn't seem right to me to ascribe "intent" to a stateless function. Even if the function is capable of modeling certain aspects of chess.

Otherwise, we are in the somewhat absurd position of needing to argue that all mathematical functions "intend" to yield their result. Maybe you could go there, but it seems to be torturing language a bit, just like people who advocate definitions of "consciousness" wherein even rocks are a "little bit conscious."
Hey I’m in trading - Often we go home with millions of dollars of risk on our books after 12hours at the office, so it’s a common problem switching off in the little time after work. Most of us feel the need to constantly be up to date with market news/price movements/thinking about how to best position ourselves around a certain event. Within the industry there are well known ways for switching off out of work, some have been listed here already.

* Vigorous exercise, especially cardio - ok to let your mind wander here but wary of mentally exerting yourself

* end of day writing down everything you need to do and what you have learnt

* if you have extra learning/coding side projects, do it only at the office after work but before you go home so that home is a work free zone

* have a threshold routine when you get home, e.g. change clothes or have a shower, after which you don’t think about work anymore

* controversial one but minimise talking about work with family - obviously share the nice things about your day but I pretty much avoid grumbling about work or specific stresses at work with family as it means you never get a rest from them

* consume media unrelated to work (don’t read hacker news before bed if you’re a software developer lol)

* some people meditate, never clicked for me but it’s meant to be very good

* work yourself to death when you are working so that you can properly relax guilt free when you’re not working.
