> I understood him to be speaking tautologically, that you trust the data when you choose the trusting library without using the safe constructor, whether or not you realize the implication.

He was speaking literally; he even rejected several of the provided examples because "users have to login first, therefore the data is trusted" which isn't an argument that any security-conscious person would make.

> As he explained, this library is, by design, convenient by default. Those seeking safe by default should consider using the other library.

That is a negligent mindset to have. Log4J added the ability to execute arbitrary dns and ldap calls for the sake of convenience, which resulted in one of the most consequential vulnerabilities of the past decade.

Opt-in security is dangerous and should never be the default — especially when the feature in question is executing arbitrary input.
Natural gas isn't just a source of heat and power. It was also an essential feed stock for much of the German chemicals industry. That industry is now rapidly downsizing and migrating to other countries with cheaper gas.
To add to the sibling comments, mastodon servers (or any other fediverse servers) are public and are searchable on the web (unless you really go out of your way to customize it to be private and not indexable). Meanwhile a private Reddit is similarly inaccessible as a private mastodon server.

And Discord servers are just totally opaque and you can't search its contents on the web (even if it is public). You have to join the server and use Discord to do so. This is generally bad for information longevity. This is why people say Discord should be avoided for hosting discussions on Open-Source software.

Give me an example of a deforestation credit that is legit and “industrial and regulatory” grade.

AFAICT any credit that relies on abatement could easily do a randomized controlled trial to measure how effective they actually are. The fact that they don’t absolutely reeks to high heaven.
Huh? Citation? Delta's profit margin last quarter was 12%, and that's a horrible way to calculate per-ticket profit. When I'm spending $1200 on a ticket to fly 500 miles round trip on a flight that's packed, they're making a LOT more than 12% on that ticket.
> Maybe another difference is that some/many European countries people just don't not pay bills.

That's the first time I ever heard of such thing, and I've lived in a few European countries. Some European countries even standardized service payments on direct debit, which worst case scenario leaves a bank holding the bag for the debt.
"Development speed: The future will be great and we want to get there fast. Our choice needs to help us move with urgency and focus. A type-system was a non-negotiable choice here."

While Jose Valim did a good job in his talk about dispelling the idea of type system offering all these promises that may or may not be true, the idea will never die. This could mean that it is the right idea, but it could also mean that now's the time to look into a way to offer it in away it attracts people who have that perception while offering a type system of value.

> Additionally, modern processors all have at minimum 64 bit buses, so exposing anything other than 64 bit scalar types makes no sense.

I feel like this entirely disregards the caching costs of using >2x more memory in some cases, speed of float32 vs float64 operations on CPU, and potential CPU <-> GPU memory transfers.

EDIT: Nvm disregard this comment, I just noticed the existence of: PackedByteArray, PackedInt32Array, PackedInt64Array, PackedFloatArray, PackedDoubleArray

Anything set of numbers needed by the GPU or big enough to affect the cache will probably use those arrays.

The gpt copyright infringement is strangely divided a lot of tech workers.

Generally people that are against overly broad patents and other copyrights should be dismissive of copyright claims of artists complaining about gpt. I remember Oracle being mocked for suing google over 9 lines of fairly generic code. Or Tiffany trademarking a color.

But now because Microsoft stands to benefit people are very concerned about "stolen" work. The funny thing is that the overall net benefit would be a lot greater from LLMs as opposed to someone not being able to use a certain color.

The biggest irony is that openai will obv prevail regardless. They'll pay their fines and work with regulators. The only thing that will be hurt will be competitors or open source projects

"The Office" had an episode where two of the characters were following the navigator's driving instructions, and the instructions told them to turn right into a swamp. They got to arguing about it, one saying the instructions must be wrong, the other saying that the navigator could not possibly be wrong.

They drove into the swamp.

There's no question that Bitcoin, and systems that copy its design more or less exactly, operate in more of a pseudonymous manner than anonymous. Projects like Monero and Zcash are actually attempting to be anonymous, but they don't seem to be as popular or prone to the kind of high market valuation that Bitcoin has.

When Republicans refer to "Elites" it is short for "Coastal Elites", think overeducated upper middle class person with a lot of opinions and ideas for "simple" things that could be changed to "make the world a better place".

There is another brand of elite on the Republican side that I'm not sure there is a name for as evocative as "Coastal elite". There is "Religious elite" and maybe "Business elite" (but this group sometimes can be categorized as coastal elite)?

You can already do this, the existing zip tool was itself just a plug-in to Explorer before it was bought by Microsoft, ironically around 30 years ago. Other tools use to do this for ISOs until that got added natively as well.

If you don't want to do that though you can also just merge support into libarchive, it's the open source project they are leveraging.
So the premise is that...

1/ a Japanese crypto researcher (not closely affiliated with the US govt at all) published research in the 90s that gets cited by the US govt

2/ the contents of this govt paper are publicly released for everyone to read

3/ the original BTC paper comes out 10+ years later, and also had a Japanese author

4/ therefore the US govt specifically the NSA invented btc?

There’s a surprising amount of classifying happening at the content level. If you have a clean ip but then send content that raises flags (includes hot words, adult content, etc) then you’re going to be categorized differently in the inbox regardless.

"What is due diligence?" - Elon, probably
Most old oil fields already do this, it is called "enhanced recovery". You have injection wells where you pump down water and production wells where a water/oil mix comes up. The water you use is mostly contaminated stuff you want to get rid of any ways.

You do have pump the water in under pressure though, just letting it pour down the hole will not work since rock is more dense the water. Imagine you were standing on a sponge in the shower, the sponge will not absorb much water since you are squishing all the pore spaces closed.
Due diligence usually refers to the review of the asset you're trying to acquire. There weren't any significant surprises about Twitter's state. Elon's issue was Elon.

That's total bullshit. She was a music major in college, presumably some 20 or so years before her job at Equifax, and in the interim she had jobs at major banks and tech companies. People act like she was a musician until just before she plopped into Equifax.

Sundar Pichai majored in metallurgy engineering. How much of his college coursework do you think he uses day-to-day?
Except it's also telling that this is the subject matter they thought worth relating to him. "Look, isn't it amazing what we made the computer do?" To which Miyazaki's reply is to (correctly) probe the content for meaning, not materiality. He's not objecting to horror or disgusting things per se, but pointing out there's no point without the humanist part as well. Their project is ultimately artless, regardless of topic, and they pick this to show him because they're too dumb to see that in the first place. It's a blatant transposition of solutionism into the realm of aesthetics - they are enamored with their magic box but have nothing to actually say.
(Disclaimer: I work for Red Hat, but I don't work on the kernel. I'm a user-land mammal, and sometimes work with kernel maintainers to debug issues.)

It makes total sense and I support this. I've met some of the upstream Linux maintainers at conferences over the years. Some (many?) of them are really oversubscribed and still plug away. They need relief from the drudgery of LTS stuff at some point.

Anyone here involved in backporting fixes to many stable branches in a user-land project will relate to the problem here. It's time-consuming and tedious work. This kind of work is what "Enterprise Linux" companies get paid for by customers.
In 2008, there were only a relative few people who could've created Bitcoin. Len Sassaman, dead since 2011, is the best fit imo.

"By all accounts, Len was on track to be one of the most important cryptographers of his time. But on July 3rd, 2011, he tragically took his own life at 31, following a long battle with depression and functional neurological disorders.

His death coincided with the disappearance of the world’s most famous cypherpunk: Satoshi Nakamoto. Only 2 months before Len died, Satoshi sent their final communication:

I’ve moved on to other things and probably won’t be around in the future." [0]

Are the fees because of lock-in from credit card points, or are they just airlines squeezing as much money out of customers as possible? I'm not convinced it's the former in the slightest. It's also worth noting that much of these onerous fees and cramped accommodations are not applied to their high mileage customers who by your logic are the most locked in.

≤10% of ALS is inherited. And even if you carry a gene which makes you more susceptible to ALS, the risk seems to cap out at ~50%. So, at worst, it's a coin flip.

So. It's not an inevitability -- not certain doom. It's a roll of the dice, with the odds in your favor.

Do roads not break down and persist in an unsafe condition when under government stewardship? I agree this is a hard problem, but the solution is probably something like "mandatory inspections of private roads on a cadence by the nearest local government and shared liability for roads not marked as out of service." The government may not be responsible for maintaining the road, but it is reasonable to require they maintain road condition records for their jurisdiction, reporting obligations (including to mapping providers), and mapping providers (Google) should share in liability if they are not updating their records with regards to road safety when information is furnished (as this article indicates Google did).
This is also how credit card rewards/cashback works, no?
Generation isn't the real issue. It's storage for base load that presents the real obstacle to shifting to renewable power. There are a variety of proposals to do so but none have yet proven economical at scale. The manufacturing capacity for batteries isn't remotely sufficient, and won't be for many years to come regardless of government subsidies.
Funny, you use VSCode for the same reason I use Emacs -- so I can keep vim totally stock, so I'll retain the muscle memory / not be shocked on other systems, and so that it remains completely reliable and fast on my own.

I'm incredibly skeptical, however, that VSCode has as-good of a vim emulation layer as evil-mode. Evil-mode is just fantastic. Customized Emacs w/ evil-mode gives me everything I'd get from a fancy IDE, and keeps my vim muscle memory intact for those times when I am using regular vim.

This has been my pattern for a decade and it's glorious. GLORIOUS, I tell you! Few things give me joy in computing like the balance in the Force that I've managed to strike between Emacs and vim
I think it's obvious. When Bitcoin was born, the fed had just undertaken unprecedented quantitative easing which at the time, no one could foresee the ultimate outcome. Launching bitcoin and holding a large amount of the initial supply ensures their system of power and control will stay in place.
Does Innate Talent Exist?
And by innate talent, I don't mean prodigies.

I have noticed a significant number of people here on HN and on reddit have learned programming and technical skills as children/adolescents and are brilliant at what they do, with great breadth and depth of knowledge studying at top notch universities and/or working at top tech firms and many running their own businesses too. This is true for other fields of study too like science, mathematics, economics and business where a lot of people either learn very quickly at young ages and on the other hand, there are many who start to learn very late and still become very proficient quite quickly.

I have also seen some people have remarkable people skills and business acumen, without having the familial background (which could explain their adeptness). You also have people working in FAANG and other such firms without a degree, while many others who also self learned or have a degree don't get a chance to work in such orgs.

What differentiates these people? Is it innate talent? Is it the ability to persevere and work hard? Is the ability to focus and work hard innate too?
In the context of function parameters at the edge of C# and c++ I don't think it will ever amount to a large amount of memory being wasted. The cache point may be relevant, but generally if you are calling into C++ in tight loops from your scripting language in a game you have already screwed up. So maybe not so bad.

Wait, do they know the US isn’t even on the map for biggest plastic polluters of the ocean: https://www.visualcapitalist.com/cp/visualized-ocean-plastic...

If you want to make a dent, start there.

Sustainability is absolutely necessary, but its label is instead distorted by money laundering efforts such as carbon credits (you’re paying people to plant logging-worthy species they will eventually log out and sell/burn).

Virtue signaling in the EU is getting so bad, it’s opening the doors far and wide for Populist Totalitarians to take over your governments. All they have to say is “Look, you’re barely surviving in this inflation and the EU wants to take away your meat and ration your energy because it’s bad for the planet?” Green political parties have done so much damage to Europe they helped Putin sustain a war, and profit hugely from it (by just shutting down EU Nuclear power plants).

If you want to objectively help, find who the worst polluters are and start to ask why and what replacements can be made. Fund plastic alternatives and designate carbon credits to go to efforts that can’t be undone. Think second and third order of consequences.
But it doesn’t really know what it knows

To be fair we don't know what we know, either. Epistemology is the bedrock that all of philosophy ultimately rests on. If it were a solved problem nobody would talk about it or study it anymore. It's not.

One of the most interesting things about current ML research is that thousands of years of philosophical navel-gazing is suddenly relevant. These tools are going to teach us a lot about ourselves.
