China has mandated moving to single-stack IPv6 by the end of the decade.

It is not well publicized.

It turns out when you have a government that can tell you "move to IPv6 or we'll have your legs broken and your family thrown in prison" it's a bit easier to get things moving.
It seems to be a popular belief that biological weapons research was abandoned by all rational governments because biological weapons can't be controlled and the infections would travel back to their source. But anthrax doesn't have this problem. The spores are highly infectious, if you dust an area with anthrax spores it has a devastating effect. But at the same time, anthrax is barely contagious from person-to-person. If you take basic hazmat precautions and burn the bodies, there is little risk of the anthrax spreading out of control. The area spores were dropped on may remain deadly for decades, but that won't spontaneously spread to other areas. It's a practical and effective biological weapon.

In 1972, the Soviets accidentally released a cloud of anthrax spores from from one of their research/production facilities. It killed at least 68 people in that area, maybe many more, but didn't spread uncontrollably through the population.
That might be true, but it's effectively a long-winded description of mediocrity. Mediocrity will only get you so far. Mediocrity means you're less competitive. Mediocrity means the only way to rise is if your competitor becomes even more mediocre. Mediocrity means to always live in fear that the "trick" isn't going to last much longer. And so on.

The point is, those environments, those cultures don't capture and retain top talent. Again, those who can...do (i.e., leave).

The API for creating Azure VMs doesn't support specifying an ED25519 key.

But once you've created the VM you can log in and replace that RSA key with an ED25519 one just like any standard Linux install, via ssh-copy-id or manually updating authorized_keys or whatever you want. So you just need a throwaway RSA key for the initial deployment.
> Anyway if long sentencing worked

El Salvador used to be the world's homicide capital. People lived in fear every single day. Then they locked up their criminals. Now their murder rate is comparable to US and Canada's.

> Homicides plunged. Extortion payments imposed by gangs on businesses and residents, once an economy unto itself, also declined, analysts said.

> “You can walk freely,” Ms. Inglés said. “So much has changed.”

Long sentencing works when you actually prosecute and enforce consistently (hint: US doesn't do that).
All of them enjoy market domination in their respective areas of expertise. Their size makes them effective monopolies and their behavior has many times ruled anti-competitive. Competition between them is insufficient and they have been convicted of organizing in monopolistic manners before.

For consumers and the market as a whole it is more healthy if they are broken up into smaller companies.
This is an unpopular opinion here, but this article clearly suffers from reporting bias (successful projects don't get declassified) and selection bias (they found ~5 unethical/failed projects out of how many in CIA history)?

There are clearly classified programs that we know of that were wildly successful: the atomic and hydrogen bombs, U2 spy plane, reconnaissance satellites, and probably more that I can't think of now.

I would be interested in how this compares with other countries with intelligence programs of similar size. Could one find a handful of examples of unethical/failed projects from China, France, Russia, or the UK?

The EU is mandating 80% capacity after 1000 cycles or a user-replaceable battery. Assuming you drain half the battery on an average day, that'd be over 5 years, and 80% is still more than I'd need. Assuming they actually enforce the law, of course.
As stated in another response, I'm using 3, so I'm probably missing some good stuff.

I have tried adding things like "please think step by step" (quite literally that question actually), and also "please make sure you check the facts before answering so you don't include non-existing arguments" (when asking about a cli tool that takes arguments), but I didn't notice a significant improvement.

I like what you say in your last line, though I think a big challenge is that a very-well-read intern got to be very-well-read for at least two reasons: 1) they like to read and can do that a lot (LLMs can do this, not saying they like, but saying training them is analogous to someone reading a lot), 2) they went through a curated list of reading material. My experiences make me think part 2 is a weak part of chatgpt.

I still think LLMs are not the way towards an interesting AI. I don't know why we're insisting so much on natural language. I mean, I can understand this for simpler tasks like a support chatbot, but I wish there was (maybe there is?) good research on building an AI that is not based on human language, since it's one of the worst mediums to communicate with rigor.
“Have an internal world model,” or “give the appearance of having an internal world model”?

(Disclaimer: I’ve only read the summary, not the full paper)

Recent papers about advanced Go-playing AIs have made it abundantly clear that, at best, their conceptual understanding of Go is deeply flawed, and at worst, completely absent. Yet under most circumstances they give the appearance of super-human understanding based on superhuman play.

Do we have any reason to think LLMs are different? That they understand anything beyond “this is the best word to go next here.”

To be clear, LLM output is remarkable, all the more so if the above is true.
Okta 2023 Announcements
Consider that this was a time before the internet. People had much less communication with other programmers in those days. Lots of people learned C by picking up a book, not reading about it online. There really wasn't much of a way to learn best practices from others.

That one never made the front page so maybe we'll move the comments hither and let this one run.

(It's on my list to do more for submissions like that which accrue a bunch of upvotes slowly but never break the front page...)
A lot of comments about how reflection on history is important and that not destroying records is important. IMO though, if society, in reality, had an appropriately strong distaste for this sort of thing we would simply rid ourselves of these "agencies" (I'd argue the term "criminal organizations" is more accurate based on their violations of the constitution.)

However, seventy-plus years of history show that society simply does not care about what does not affect them so let the drug running, experiments, torture, surveillance continue as long as we can fill up the car and get to Target without too much hassle.

It wasn't just time to make the phone call - it was time to make the call, police respond, get the manufacturer on the phone too, and then 15 minutes in to the response taking the final action.
No reason you can't have both. The battery would just be in it's own compartment.
I still remember the age of snap-fit phones with replaceable color covers.

When you dropped one, you had to dig at least 4 parts from around the room. Front & back covers, the battery and the rest of the phone all flew in different directions =)

> Some of them have coupons to specific items that are not allowed to have sales prices lower than the MSRP.

That's actually kinda disappointing. I'd always assumed those flyers were pieces of trash (at best, something I'd need to put in a recycling bin) which I don't want but now I'll be more tempted to take them when offered on the chance that I otherwise accidentally avoid the sales price.

It's still good to know that such coupons are likely just attempts by the retailer to circumvent the manufacturer's... ahem suggested price.
Call me sceptical, but I don’t buy it. What makes you certain that’s the (one) future… Also programming is a super broad field, and more then a field is almost more like a medium then a field.

I honestly don’t know if we’ll still program by hand or not, but I do look skeptical at people who are very certain we won’t. Don’t think that’s the first time in history people make that prediction…
Right.

You can't have the thinnest/sleekest possible phone and an easily removable battery. Have to choose.

Frustrating thing is, mainstream phone manufacturers don't give you a choice. There's no option to buy e.g. an a slightly more ruggedized iPhone that is 15% bulkier but gives you easy battery access. That's a thing I'd buy, even if it cost a bit more.

The quest for "sleekness at all costs" made more sense 15-20 years ago, when full-spec smartphones and laptops were clunkier.

Hopefully the tide is turning. Apple is offering beefier and thicker laptops (M1/M2 Macbook Pros) and likewise now gives buyers an option for a beefier "Explorer Edition" watch. No battery access sadly. But hopefully the pendulum might swing the other way a little now.

[citation needed]

Rust has maintained backward compatibility to a level even beyond what golang has done. Code written for Rust 1.0 will compile on latest Rust, minus a very scant few edge cases where it should never have compiled in the first place except for a compiler bug.
Many things got easier once I accepted that regression is just fancy averaging

One thing that might help is government regulation that any ISP using CGNAT must offer IPv6. Customers should get public IP address, single IPv4 or /64 IPv6.

Another would be that government customers need to have IPv6-enabled sites. This could get a lot of companies to add IPv6 hosting.
Comical. Back in the day, when I had to write research papers I would go to Wikipedia by copying the citations verbatim, outline the page, and then essentially rewrite the whole thing in my voice but keeping the exact quotes from the original article since they were cited.

Cryptographic authentication means somebody needs to require a set of trusted keys (or a PKI or similar), and I could imagine that during an actual emergency, availability might be a higher priority than non-spoofability.

Pixel 5 was 782€, euro-adjusted inflation, so it's a question of whether it's 12% more phone.

Edit: is that price for pixel 8 pro? A Google search is saying regular pixel 8 is 799€, so basically the same price for the base model.
you're going to die regardless. The sky still isn't blue, which is quite obvious at night, or during sunsets and sunrise.
Well, here's a real example. About a decade ago there was a simple video conferencing system called Nautilus. A simple LCD screen that let you call other people with the device and talk to them, not having to bother with computers or smartphones. The sort of thing that is good for talking with elderly relatives who may not be very computer or phone savvy. I bought one (from Amazon) for myself and my elderly parents. It worked well, but a few years later Amazon came out with their Echo Show products which are basically the same thing, which killed the Nautilus. I'm sure it was covered by patents and what not, but you can't protect the idea. Amazon obviously saw that it sold reasonably well and used its power as both a marketplace and a technology company to undercut their own seller.

Is LegendKeeper built on top of the Websocket Yjs provider? If so, do you run the Websocket server yourself? If not, do you use WebRTC and have you had any STUN/TURN issues with that?

LegendKeeper looks really awesome btw, I might bring this up for my own campaign use. I've been thinking of using Yjs to build some character sheet builders myself which is why I'm asking.
Exactly. It’s just leveling the playing field. I’ve been doing generated cover letters based on cv, job post and a few other data sources with manual review + adjustments with a very decent callback rate.
> I think that interpretation of the "strong" vs "weak" scale is a valuable one within the context of the blog post. The post is at least partially about how type systems can help the programmer by making them aware of certain kinds of errors (it is also about when: static vs dynamic).

Sure, agree. That's also the real point: type systems primarily exist to make semantically impossible computations unrepresentable in the language (at least, without some extra song and dance). To this end, Lisps have rather lackluster type systems, but they don't try to encode much of the languages semantics into a type system.

> My understanding of the terms covariance and contravariance are a bit shaky. Could you provide an example in another language that you think cannot be expressed using the provided utilities of most Lisp's?

The wikipedia article on the topic is a great source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covariance_and_contravariance_...

I'm actually mostly concerned with type invariants (ex. List[int]), which don't really have much for representation in Lisps from what I've seen. Further, see above about using types to make compile-time assertions/checks about the behavior at runtime.

> You also mentioned that you don't think most Lisp's have "expressive" type systems. What do you mean by that? When I think of a type system as being expressive, I think of it as having explicit rather than implicit types, which is unrelated to the issue of strongly vs weakly typed and static vs dynamic types. Do you mean more like how you can describe / constrain the relationships between types in certain strongly typed languages?

"Expressive" is a nothing word that doesn't have concrete meaning in-context, similar to "strong" type system. That being said, I would say Rust, OCaml, and TypeScript have expressive type systems: the behavior of the language is largely encoded as types. The implicit vs explicit nature of types is not super consequential IMO, it has more to do with how you primarily represent semantic meaning. In lisp, it's symbols. In Rust, it's traits, enums, and structs (+ the affine types, but that's not relevant here).
Not all humans think like that, though.
Pretty sure it's to involve a lawyer sooner.

I reported a probably Windows perf bug. Nothing happened. I reported it again. Basically they weren't interested despite my careful spelling it out. Time wasted. Fuck them.

Maybe it wasn't a bug (hah!) but they could have come back to me and at least told me they'd looked at it and it wasn't. I'd have appreciated that. But no.
> - What do you do if the root cause turns out to be "upstream" of your company's hiring process, e.g., social conditioning from a young age throughout education that introduces disparities in field of study across demographic categories?

Yes, absolutely. It's a large-scale problem and probably has to be solved at a societal level.

I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss what you believe doesn't work. Any government willing to subject its own citizens to what happened at MKUltra is capable of forging documents and releasing them with the goal of making the readers believe the experiments were complete failures.
Good questions!

The server keeps the documents in memory when they are open, but it is horizontally scalable by hosting using CloudFlare Durable Objects. (We also plan to support Plane.dev but that's not built out yet).

> 2

The client is based on Yjs, so it's compatible with Yjs' y-indexeddb provider to store in IndexedDB. Tabs synchronize state between each other using a local broadcast channel. The client only synchronizes unsynced state with the server, so if one tab has already pushed the local offline edits to the server, the other tabs can discover that and avoid pushing them. That said, I'm not 100% sure if Yjs deals with the race condition where two tabs wake up at the same time so the server has not yet received offline edits from either, I'd have to check on that.

>3

Yes, Yjs types have an `observe` method that takes a callback, which receives an event with details of each edit. Here’s an example for observing events of a Y.Map: https://docs.yjs.dev/api/shared-types/y.map#observing-change...
It's not "good" at anything, it's a set of word embeddings. You have to apply them in some context using a feedforward model of some sort for them to be used in some task.
Now arrest him.
Your bio says “most people are stupid” — how’d you arrive at that conclusion without judging people?
Additionally, if the person hiring wants to be sure they have recourse if the person they hire does something bad, being in a jurisdiction they are familiar with and already have access to the legal system is important.
It would be nice if OP would say which browser / version / OS we're talking about.
My experience is that tests model the expected behaviour and that type systems cannot. Therefore I get lots of value out of tests where types are an impediment.

Static typing from the beginning just sets me into a big design up front problem where I try to anticipate the flexibility that I will need and I start building lots of boilerplate abstractions that end up never being used or restricting me later.

I find it useful to write imperfect code with only the constraint that it is testable and then revise the structure and any types I need as it becomes evident that they are valuable in the context.

From Data Engineering to Prompt Engineering
Another, more detailed account link to elsewhere in the comments pointed out that the police were even on the phone with engineers from the car manufacturer - if there was such a magic sequence apparently it didn't work. Yeah! Software Everywhere!
Data engineering makes up a large part of the data science process. In CRISP-DM this process stage is called "data preparation". It comprises tasks such as data ingestion, data transformation and data quality assurance. In our article we solve typical data engineering tasks using ChatGPT and Python. By doing so, we explore the link between data engineering and the new discipline of prompt engineering.
