UK Parliament passes Online Safety Bill
nice try, Elon
I like the general recommendations here but think it really undersells how hard it is to switch in many cases - the time recommendation are comically short. Yes, going to a new site instead of a Google site might only take a minute of your time to sign up but moving all your data over and learning a new, sometimes inferior tool can take weeks.
> In fx, arguments are treated as JavaScript functions. Input data is passed sequentially through each provided function.

> echo '{"name": "world"}' | fx 'x => x.name' 'x => `Hello, ${x}!`'

Wow, that is so nice. Having to memorize JQ syntax is such a pain.
Online Safety Bill has been passed in UK Parliament
Yes, and to your first point, TigerBeetle also supports multiple ledgers, explicitly where each ledger is for a separate unit or currency (with isolation enforced by TigerBeetle across different units/currencies).

Thus, TigerBeetle doesn't preclude the use of money types at a higher layer (you would have seen that we tried to emphasize this also in the post).

Another way to think of this, is that we focus on the storage of accounting information by providing high-performance accounting primitives (e.g. execute 8k double entry transactions all within 5ms in a single network roundtrip DB query).

But the accounting policy (rounding etc.) remains the responsibility of the application/organization, since this may differ according to requirements/jurisdiction.
The intentions don't just affect the way the data is presented, but can affect the underlying data itself. For example, the "German Claims in Africa" shows vast areas as "German claims" on what must be very shaky justification. The presentation is very clear, but the data is misleading.

As I understand it, it's not allowed for a third-country institution to lead part of an EU project. They can collaborate on specific tasks.

The UK joining now means a group at Manchester University can lead the work on health outcomes, not just be a part of it under someone else.
Is syntax highlighting really comparable to LLMs? Like I get your point, but are they really that close to each other?
Did you realize that only 5% of the cost of the vehicle is from labor? So essentially car prices would rise 1%.

This is because US politicians are loath to take action against their colleagues in legislative chambers, fearing retaliation. So they depend on shame, or "the honor system", hoping that the bad apples will simply step down.
Wikipedia, at least, reports something very different for San Juan Hill.

WP says the battle was over a ridge with a couple major peaks, and that the highest was indeed cleared and occupied by other soldiers the day before, but the following day Roosevelt’s troops (among others) did face real resistance taking the other major peak. It reads like the first day was rather more intense, but the second wasn’t exactly a cake-walk, and it definitely doesn’t read like they just walked up to an already-taken position.
Simple but very compelling... Congrats to the Graphite team

This isn't the easy solution you might think. While some churches/denominations/whatever may get more progressive, others grow more conservative. The place your dad went to may not be a place even he recognizes any more.
I don’t know how many believe it and how much is willful ignorance. The big cloud providers make big mistakes but how many trust their organizations to do better against a nation state level actor?

The underlying architectures of our systems are not secure and much of the abstractions built on top of them make that insecurity worse, not better.

For nation state level issues, the solution likely isn’t technical, that is a game of whack-a-mole, it will take a nation deciding that digital intrusions are as or more dangerous than physical ones and to draw a line in the sand. The issue is every nation is doing it and doesn’t want to cut off their own access.

Async in Python, for a long time, has been a horrible hack relying on monkey patching the socket module. The newer asyncio stuff is quite nice by comparison, but the problem is that Python, due to its popularity, has libraries that haven't been upgraded.

Python always had deployment issues, IMO. In Java, 99% of all library dependencies are pure JARs, and you rarely need to depend on native libraries. You can also assemble an executable fat JAR which will work everywhere, and the fact that the build tools are better (e.g., Maven, Gradle) helps.

Compared with Python, for which even accessing a RDBMS was an exercise in frustration, requiring installing the right blobs and library headers via the OS's package manager, with Postgres being particularly painful. NOTE: I haven't deployed anything serious built with Python in a while, maybe things are better now, but it couldn't get much better, IMO.

I mean a place to live doesn't mean anything if there's nowhere for them to work to earn a living to afford it, not to mention being able to commute in a rural area basically requires a car of some sort.

Homeless congregate to cities because they can get the widest exposure to panhandle on. This isn't complicated. If you have no income apart from what's given to you, you need to be in places where a lot of people are a lot of the time to maximize your income. I'm sure plenty of them would happily move to a different area, if they're given the tools and resources to build a life there. But we don't do that. We just sick the cops on them and burn whatever they've managed to cobble together and tell them to go somewhere else. They might, MIGHT, get a bus ticket. But that's it and that solves none of their problems, it just makes them a problem for a different metro.
What I don't understand is why a drop-in CEO decides to go to bat so relentlessly for a system that they didn't select and a vendor they have no prior connection to.

This is completely untrue. The board of directors sets leadership pay, and often the BoD is appointed by leadership anyway so it's essentially leadership setting their own pay.
I think technology isnt neutral, and people creating tech that can cause harm and subsequently making it available to the general public and easy to use are as immoral as the people using it. i love writing malware, but once it works, i delete it. If you want to see if you can create an AI that can make nudes of people thats fine, you can use it for yourself. or when it works decide atleast not to publish it. theres arguments for publishing it, and people ofcourse in favor of those arguments. thats ok, i am not though. i think its bad. you can write a paper about it and show some benign examples in it if you want the world to know these things are possible. there is no need imho to hand everyone a gun simply to prove guns are dangerous, and that is akin to what these tech creators are doing..

Yep. Sometimes, it can also be helpful to ask publicly in a forum topic or issue and link that in the support ticket, asking for prioritized support.

> I’ve seen GitLab determine priority of an issue based partially on demand from paying customers.

Correct. You might have seen team members commenting with customer requests into issues and epics. While we at GitLab cannot share customer names and other confidential data, the feature request itself is public and increases transparency.

There was a nice long deprecation period between those versions, where everyone using it got a warning. And then, when it was finally removed, everyone using it got an error, and they were forced to change their code. By contrast, a string literal could silently change meaning if it used syntax that was previously valid in strings. This is the exact same reason JS chose to require backticks to delimit interpolable strings - because otherwise existing string literals could silently change meaning.

No. As someone who works in documentaries, you absolutely have to license footage of public figures, including news footage. There’s a reason most news media shoot their own footage.

Hacking the Kafka Protocol
Yes, I remember, and it was built by private companies.

"Development of the website's interface as well as its supporting back-end services, to make sure that the website could work to help people compare between health insurance plans, were both outsourced to private companies. The front-end of the website was developed by the startup Development Seed.[2] The back-end work was contracted out to CGI Federal Inc., a subsidiary of the Canadian IT Multinational corporation| CGI Group, which subcontracted the work to other companies, as is common on large government contracts.[11] CGI was also responsible for building some of the state-level healthcare exchanges, with varying levels of success (some did not open on schedule).[9]"

CGI is the company that was the focus of the blame at the time.

I'm curious how this relates to MDL-tied regularization. I don't see any explicit reference to the L2 norm here, and I'm not too smart about graph neural networks.

But it seems like overfitting is almost necessary unless some kind of obscure variational technique is used? They did have one paper where they used a progressively compressed GNN to isolate an approximation for a cosmological equation smaller and more accurate than had been previously achieved. I'll update here if I find it.

Edit: Ah, here we are: https://arxiv.org/abs/2006.11287 I believe there was some very good followup work posted on it this year that I saw some movement during the 3-5 months that I was really active on Twitter (brief time that it was), seems like an extremely promising area, and one I should learn if I truly do care about the Kolmogorov complexity of a problem.
Terrible take. Photoshop does not create and exploit confusion about how their products are free to use as much as Oracle does with Java. Photoshop also didn't sneakingly change terms from what used to be free without a proper notice while installing. Photoshop sales and marketing also don't do gotchas with crazy audits and threats of lawsuits. You don't need to buy Photoshop for all your employees if only a few use it.

Deep fakes aren't the issue here. This same thing could have been done before AI with Photoshop or even scissors and glue.

Those cockpit cameras are in the context of employment and also the context where all incidents are investigated with at least a stated goal of improving safety.

Personal vehicle accidents are rarely investigated, and when they are, it's almost always with a goal of assigning responsibility.

Why would I pay for something that is going to record me and most of the time be useful most for assigning responsibility to me?

If there was a culture that most/all traffic collisions would be investigated and remediations would be taken, then sure. But it's very rare to have an thorough investigation, and it's even rarer for remidiations to be taken. Many locales have 'known dangerous' intersections where there's no consideration of design change. There's no mechanism to provide ongoing training to drivers (in the US).
