SWE-Bench: Can Language Models Resolve Real-World GitHub Issues?
The Wyoming law seems to implicitly assume that a) intersections are spaced close to each other and b) each intersection with traffic lights also has pedestrian crossings.

I assume b) is simply enforced by some regulation, but a) sounds like it could lead to lots of unintended problems. What if there's miles between two adjacent intersections? A person standing in the middle would have to know if by chance both the intersection to their left and right have a traffic light, and then walk to the closest one if that's the case (or find a marked crosswalk).
>why should Toshiba be liable here?

If Toshiba created a malicous firmware with a backdoor they would be liable for the backdoor.
> You know what would save more lives? better public transit.

Do both. Public transit over vehicle electrification is a false economy; in that competition the status quo will win.
> It's different because by adopting C, Bentham prevents the mugger from mugging, which is a better world than one where the mugger goes on mugging.

This assumption is wrong. You are assuming that the mugger is also a utilitiarian, so will do cost-benefit analysis, and thus decide not to mug. But that is not necessarily true.

If the mugger mugs anyway, despite mugging being "suboptimal," Bentham ends up in a situation where he has exactly the same choice: either lose $10, or have the mugger cut off their own finger. If Bentham is to follow (act-)utilitarianism precisely, he must pay the mugger $10. (Act-)utilitarianism says that the only thing that matters is the utility of the outcome of your action. It does not matter that Bentham previously committed to not paying the mugger; the fact is, after the mugger "threatens" Bentham, if Bentham does not pay the mugger, total utility is less than if he does pay. So Bentham must break his promise, despite "committing" not to. (Assuming this is some one-off instance and not some kind of iterated game; iteration makes things more complicated.)

(In fact, this specific objection -- that utilitarianism requires people to "give up" their commitments -- is at the foundation of another critique of utilitarianism by Williams: https://123philosophy.files.wordpress.com/2018/12/bernard-wi...)

If everyone were a utilitarian, then there would be far fewer objections to utilitarianism. (E.g. instead asking people in wealthy countries to donate 90% of their income to charity, we could probably get away with ~5-10%.) Bentham's mugging is a specific objection to utilitarianism that shows how utilitarians are vulnerable to manipulation by people who do not subscribe to utilitarianism.

Also, to be precise, Bentham's mugging does not show a contradiction. It's showing an unintuitive consequence of utilitarianism. That's not the same thing as a contradiction. (If you want to see a contradiction, Stocker has a different critique: https://www.jstor.org/stable/2025782.)

This here is at the forefront of the entire reason for the massive backlash at tge Reddit API changes.

I created that content, I can decide what is done with it. If I dislike the direction reddit is going I should be able to remove said content and prevent reddit from generating income for it.

Reddit didn't pay me to provide the information I did, neither did you. Neither of you are entitled to it remaining there indefinitely.

I actually like OPs tool though, I don't have an issue with what it does, however I would if it stored that data on OPs servers and then trained an LLM on it or sold the information to an ad company.

Suffice to say I think LLMs are going to degrade the general internet due to people not wanting what they said in an LLM. I personally post for other humans to benefit, not for a corporation to train an LLM on and make a ton of income. I'm fine however with a platform using tasteful ads to fund it's own operations.

Insert random ideas about posts made online being equated to a public speech and where that falls in the copyright laws that currently exist for the future LLM that parses this stuff.
The difference is that you’re cocooned in a tonne of steel, hurtling along at speeds which kill pedestrians. The onus is on both parties to be vigilant, but it’s more on you as a driver. As soon as you get over this entitled view, like the road is your own little go-kart track, it’s so much easier to drive safely. I used to hold the same view until I started walking regularly and could understand how much the game is tipped towards cars. Their environment is unescapable and every time you interact with a road as a ped. there’s a huge chance you might die. There’s nearly no chance you’ll die by hitting a pedestrian as you drive. Just drive slower and pay more attention. It’s just not that bloody hard at all.

In Japan the PC market evolved out of the electric appliance market.
The factors cited were inflation and higher interest rates, which are going to be universally applicable.

Cost overruns at Vogtle and others had inflation as a partial factor but the bigger issues, per the DOE:

"Work began with incomplete designs and managers repeatedly failed to realistically schedule tasks. Experienced workers were in short supply and defective work often had to be redone. Workers quit for other jobs and the COVID-19 pandemic led to high absenteeism."

So a pass on Covid impact but the rest is the result of building a huge bespoke power plant. SMRs change all of that to units of mass production.

I'm sure there's still issues to solve there but if nuclear has a future competing against low cost renewables then that SMRs seem to be the only way forward.
What you are describing definitely matches my experience, but IMO a rule like "blocks ads on YT -> disabled" is a rule that could never come from the ICs on the ground since it isn't the sort of abuse they are looking for. That is, unless there's an order from above to treat blocking ads as abuse that warrants blocking.

typst-conceal.vim: cute UTF-8 conceal for typst
This is a little vim plugin that I wrote to help make writing typst (https://typst.app/) in vim a bit more enjoyable. It leverages vim's conceal feature to replace long symbol names with the actual utf-8 characters.

You can find the plugin here: https://github.com/MrPicklePinosaur/typst-conceal.vim
A binding being an association between a name and a value is a defect in Common Lisp.

The correct view (in a language with mutable variables) is that it's an association between a name and an abstract location where a value is stored. When we assign to a variable, the binding doesn't change; any closure which has captured that binding sees the new value.

On entry into a lexical scope, fresh bindings are allocated only once, no matter how many times a new value is assigned to any of them in that same scope.

Schemers get this right. In R7RS:

An identifier that names a location is called a variable and is said to be bound to that location.

The problem is not just in the Glossary. defvar is documented as leaving the variable unbound if it is previously unbound (in the case when no initial-value is specified).

Yet, defvar is described as establishing the name as a dynamic variable. But a variable is defined as a binding. Thus if X is unbound and (defvar X) leaves it unbound, then it is not establishing a variable because that would require a binding. Oops!

There is another 'modern' language that does utf8 right and has done it right for a long time. I know it's mostly fallen out of favour, but we're still out here: Perl.

$ perl -wle 'use utf8; print length("");'
1

Without use utf8:
$ perl -wle 'print length("");'
3

It's funny: after Perl fell out of favour, is when it got all its best stuff. It's still my preferred language for just about everything.
>If Toshiba created a malicous firmware with a backdoor they would be liable for the backdoor.

That's a big IF. Where's the proof for that though? Or is it like the imaginary WMDs in Irak?

Backdoors are usually cleverly disguised software bugs specifically to give you deniability if you ever get caught. It's not like the Jupânese agencies would put their names and signatures in the backdoor's firmare image.
How do you do it in graphql? You are going to hit multiple APIs that aren't integrated so it will be multiple requests. One request to a graphql server and multiple requests to other APIs isn't faster than doing just the requests to the different APIs. Actually it might be faster.
> As soon as you get over this entitled view, like the road is your own little go-kart track

This view was not espoused by the OP. You've made it up for some reason.
Gay acceptance was pretty big in the 90's. I remember white papers released around 2000 talking about the inevitable nationwide acceptance of LGB. It was trending up fast. My family is from SF/Oakland. I talked with a lot of LGB academics at that time, I watched it happen. The LGB are also a demographic that has a lot of disposable income and that's part of the reason they were so accepted by corporations.

Measures against auto theft are well established to have brought down incidence of robbery, because it makes it harder to get a getaway car. And the auto industry has absolutely been given the responsibility of overseeing that.

I understand the reasoning behind wanting this to be some kind of David v Goliath story, but this is the real world.

Cars don't stop as fast as feet. Everybody is a pedestrian sometimes but not everyone is a driver. You can say accountability belongs to one or the other but one is gonna walk away and one isn't. Personal responsibility should take precedent over right of way.

You cannot regulate or control others, but you can regulate yourself.

I'm fine with cars having the right of way. They pay for the roads with sales tax, excise tax, gas tax, registration fees, inspection fees, insurance that pays for all kinds of things, and the car itself which is a huge investment into the economy. Quite literally it is the drivers who pay for the infrastructure used by everyone on the road. They earned it.

I went to Verizon (but they're not an MVNO), T-Mobile is cheap but Verizon is one of those legacy carriers that won't pull quick tricks on you. From time to time, Verizon will try to compete with T-Mobile and offer low priced tiers. Once you get into those, you can grandfather in and wait while the dust settles so you can decide who to move to for the next-generation network.

AT&T and Verizon had really sweet deals at the beggining of the year to pull alway some of TMO's customers but now that TMO raised their prices, ATT and VZW also unsweetened their plans.

TL;DR - T-Mobile grandfathers but you'll have to call T-Force every time to fight for it. AT&T & Verizon don't hassle their customers.

For me, "remote control" is by far the least useful part of my home assistant setup - I have smart switches and use the physical switches most of the time to control the lights if I just want to switch them on/off eg as I enter/exit a room. The useful things (to me) come from integrating several different devices together - for example:

- If I've been out (defined by my phone's wifi connection or alarm arming state) and then come home and turn on the light nearest my front door, all the lights in my house will turn on (at a predefined brightness level according to time of day)

- When I start a TV show/movie/etc on the TV (but only in the evening), the lights in the room where the TV is will dim. If I pause, they get a bit brighter. Switch the TV off and they get fully bright.

- If I'm watching TV or listening to music and get a phone call, the TV/music automatically pauses

- When I leave the house, all the house lights get switched off automatically in case I forgot to switch any off (again based on phone wifi connection and/or alarm arming state - my alarm state is one-way so HA can't control the alarm, only the other way around)

- If someone leaves the bathroom light on for too long, it will automatically switch off

- In the morning, the lights in my bedroom dim up very gradually to help me wake up (with timing and whether it happens linked to my calendar so it happens later at weekends or during school holidays when I don't need to help with the school run)

- I get a notification on my phone when my washing machine/tumble drier are done which means I don't forget to unload/reload them

I also use HA to unify energy sensors (which are then sent into a Victoria Metrics instance) to monitor the energy usage of various things in my house - this has been pretty helpful to identify where I should prioritise trying to save energy.

All of this is done locally/without cloud services and I think I've probably just scratched the surface of what's possible so far - eg I don't have my heating/AC/blinds/curtains integrated into HA so far and I also plan to investigate whether I could usefully adjust the "wake-up time" in my HA setup depending on traffic/public transport status.

All of these things are of course possible manually and my guiding principle has always been that if the HA instance isn't running then nothing should stop working - but the automations do make life a lot more pleasant.
That's the thing. If it weren't for the prioritization of auto traffic, crossing the street at arbitrary places and times would still be "sensible behavior".

Everything you think you know about cities and the role of pedestrians is wrong -- a distortion introduced by auto companies to diminish walking and public transport and encourage automobile purchases. We are currently radically rethinking our cities and imagining a greatly diminished role for cars in them.

I think Google fits more in the "extract as much value from your users" bucket more than the price hiking one.

Uber/Lyft did raise prices, but interestingly (at least to me) is that if the strategy was the smother the competition with low prices, it didn't seem to work.

Unity is interesting too, though I'm not sure it would make a good poster child for this playbook. It raised prices but seems to be suffering for it.

I think it's worth taking a look back at X10 [0], the OG home automation.

Yes, it was primitive by today's standards with a very limited command set, but that command set was good enough for 90% of purposes and its simplicity meant that it was trivial to implement correctly and everything interoperated.

It didn't need an internet connection to function. It didn't even need a local server. Though you could have a programmable controller, the minimum viable setup consisted of having some X10-enabled device (such as a light socket), an X10 switch, and setting some DIP switches as configuration.

That is a surprisingly uncharitable take on what sounds to me like a responsible and respectable choice to abide by one's principles, for which the author has offered both ethical and practical reasons. He's not criticizing his employer for letting him go, nor even naming the organization; he appears to be accepting the consequences of his choices, and talking about the situation in hopes of bringing further attention to an important problem. It seems unreasonable to dismiss this as a "luxury belief", unless perhaps you have a very cynical worldview which interprets all principled choices through that lens.
