yeah that's fair. That's what I landed on too, and would think anyone using it seriously would be doing the same. But the fact that you could extend the compiler to program your own code generation in F# itself is amazing. Comptime in Zig reminds me of this too. I'd have to think OCaml has something similar, but I'm not too familiar with it.
A "financial institution" is just an entity that is legally allowed to engage in sending money from one party to another. So the vision is just "let's make something illegal"?

Managers have got to make it look like they are doing something, eh.
this is where zero trust has steered us wrong, inadvertently.

absolutely perimeter security based on weak auth (being 'on' the WAN) is insufficient.

but improving internal security doesn't address all internet-based attacks - which are the vast majority. in those cases, auth before connect is a good practice - but the auth (authentication and authorization) itself needs to be strong, and part of a multi-layered approach (the WAF etc are actually able to be simplified and do their job better when they don't need to filter the entire internet).
I already told you. Either it has value or it does not. “Depends on when” is not addressing it. If you don’t want me to assume your views, the state them directly, it takes a single word.

It’s relevant unless you plan on taxing things with no value.
Posting update since it's too late to edit: I confused multiplication with maximum. It's been too long since I took a course in formal logic. Though for binary values, multiplication works as well.

That's pretty easy, actually. He seems to see himself as some kind of Robin Hood-esque figure, taking money from the rich and distributing it to the poor (or, more specifically, distributing the money of the rich to the places where its most effective).

The argument is about whether EA naturally leads to this "the ends superseed the means"-type of actions, which is what the article argues.
No thanks. You have moved the goalposts from "nobody[...] came up with this before" to "implementations I remember were quite hard to setup, buggy, and/or user-unfriendly", and I generally have a policy to disengage at that point.

Wow I've had the opposite experience with my lodge cast iron pan.

Butter is the only thing that allows my eggs to not stick.

Olive oil and vegetable oils in general cause more sticking.

Maybe we preheat our pans differently? Do you use very low heat but preheat for a longer time?
> CDPQ Infra was able to take advantage of existing rights of way to create the route, rather than needing to dig costly tunnels or demolish buildings. In one area, they repurposed an old rail tunnel

I'm listening to the podcast about Boston's Big Dig (https://www.wgbh.org/podcasts/the-big-dig), and one of the things that came up in Episode 6 was cost overruns in the 1990s, particularly on the I-93 segment (burying the highway to replace the elevated highway from the 60s).

The engineers and administrators had no idea what they would be getting into when they drew up the estimate, because no one really knew what was underground when they started digging 100 feet below street level next to Boston harbor and well below the water table. They found everything - old pilings, sewer tunnels from the 1800s, archaic utilities, and mud that was exceptionally sticky. It turned into a series of change orders which greatly increased the $7.7B original price ($10.8B adjusted for inflation) to $14.8B.

TFA mentions the Green Line extension in Boston which has been a costly disaster for different reasons, from ADA compliance to mislaid tracks.

Unbanked people who use Bitcoin do not care whether it's a tech or policy problem. They just care that it solves their problem. Here's your lawful utility.
Using a TPM for remote attestation of device state is basically worthless in the generic PC UEFI world because there is pretty much unlimited surface area for holes to leverage, from motherboards that falsely report secure boot states to firmware bypasses to using your own TPM to just exploiting a vulnerable kernel driver that has a valid windows codesigning signature.

In practice places that want "attestation-like" functionality, like Riot do for anti-cheat, just load mandatory kernel modules instead and require e.g. Type 1 hypervisor-based security in Windows to be enabled. Or they just obfuscate everything and run blobs. These can still be bypassed but it's still difficult and in contrast fully controlled by their software stack, which is more usable for them for more players. It's good enough, in other words.
Teflon allows pans to be made of aluminum, which makes fabrication easy. The coating also scratches easily, leading to more sales. There is no point for consumers but there are few reasons market as a whole erroneously incentivize Teflon pans.

My point is "nothing ever happens", and from a regulatory/administrative standpoint I see no reason to think things will change.

I don't like WEI, remote attestation, or Google/Apple as companies. I don't like advertising or the way YouTube and Google propagate it. Your belief that users will continue to 'hack the planet' in 10 years is pretty funny though. There is zero interest, commercial, regulatory or otherwise, to ensure users continue to have control over their web browser or software. It's that simple; the battle against WEI for free YouTube is already lost.
A computer is only required for calculating the time in another state or zone. It doesn’t need to be connected to the Internet. But, if you want to call someone in another state, you already have a computing device handy. Even TVs carry powerful computers these days. Worst case, you have to consult a table.

I know you think this is a conspiracy to “bug” someone’s home by infecting it with the Internet. My wish for you is for a time machine to transport you to the century in which you belong.
What I compared to drifting in and out of sleep was merely one effect of psychedelics that people tend to be curious about, namely hallucination. Moreover one can very much approach these dreamlike states with a meditation-like, non-judgmental, non self-centered mental posture, and this is going to make their effects even clearer.

Any MITM attack is always going to be going forward, not in reverse, at least to capture authentication sessions (and then you can root around in someone's account).

2. BGP Hijacks (these tend to get noticed)

3. Malware running a local proxy (Malware can try to inject it's own cert into the store too but that cert would be compromised by CT/AV/etc. A proxy with a valid gov cert would be much harder to detect.)

4. Compromised cell sites (stingray type devices)

5. Mistyped urls, often in combo with spear phishing.
It can't have comments because it didn't originally had comments, so now it's too late. And it originally didn't have comments, because Douglas Cockford thought they could be abused for parsing instructions.

As for not having trailing commas, it's probably a less intentional bad design choice.

That said, if you want commas and comments, and control the parsers that will be used for your JSON, then use JSONC (JSON with comments). VSCode for example does that for its JSON configuration.
Surface streets are much slower because of pedestrians and intersections. This is more expensive, but also much faster as they don't have to stop for other traffic. When you count how many more people can be on this vs a freeway it is a bargin (assuming people use it )

Incidentally, you can observe the same effect, however with a different delay, with subsequent releases of macOS versions: each time the support for some devices is dropped, their price drops, too, even though the hardware is inherently the same before and after announcement.

In the past, I used these MacBook Pros from 2012 to install additional memory and replace small HDDs with large SSDs but today this is no longer possible. Still, some perfectly good hardware can be bought cheap only because Apple doesn't support it. And if you used it back then, you can install perfectly functioning software on them like, say, Logic and use it for many years to come as an audio workstation even if Apple doesn't want to support it anymore.
>A parent that cares for a disabled child is only a failure as long as he does not want to do it.

I’ve seen the parents of severely disabled children. The daily work, financial cost, and social cost is immense. They don’t give up their children often out of duty and sympathy not because they ever wanted to live a life like that. They are burdened and entrapped and it’s not simply a matter of mindset.

Not even the disabled children would be keen to agree with you that their self-sacrificing parents are failures and horrible people if they feel they’ve been burdened and entrapped. THEY feel burdened and entrapped themselves. People in a bad situation can sympathize with people’s circumstances for what they are. They might resent the parent being open about their feelings, but not for having them at all.

As for why the 3rd world cab driver does not feel this way, a cab driver in the third world is often doing relatively well compared to their peers, they may have grown up in worse circumstances, and cab driving is something relatively easy to give up for a few years and then pick back up no worries. That’s not nessecarily true of the investment banker or the parent of the disabled child.
perhaps it should be AAC-LC, but it is MP3.
That's the way it's always worked. You read books to learn to code, then write code and you get paid for it, but that money doesn't trickle down to the writers of the books that taught you to code.
> the fact that the rich have almost all the money

Obviously not true. The government has almost all the money. When it needs more, it just prints off a few trillion as necessary.

As for the rich, they by and large created the wealth they have. When you invest money in an enterprise that is productive, you're creating wealth.
Not really sure what half of what you said actually means, but you can get excellent results with a cheapo lodge, grapeseed seasoning and cooking with butter. I'm lazy as hell, and it typically lasts me many months of effectively non-stick cooking.
You can't cook acids with it, but I'm not sure where you've gotten the idea that seasoning doesn't work. Perhaps you haven't been able to make it work yet?
Here’s a principled stance: you don’t have the right to a sound, arrangement of pixels, or ideas. IP for nobody. If you disagree, then it should be “IP for everyone” and not “whether or not I support IP depends on who benefits from it”. An answer that differs from piracy to AI training is not a principled answer.
How did the guy end up with 2 different neophyte people they were instructing in dangerous situations and sharing that. Let's not mince word, if the first had started the carit would be a dangerous situation. In college with alcohol wed stick a sober watcher over the pre-frosh who decided to drink the first time away from home.

Having just one go slightly sideways would make me really cautious. I was because freshman year I found some random pre-frosh who had hidden in a closet cause they thought they'd be in trouble (they were not, wet campus) who needed help.
Strange Trip: Psychedelics and confronting the fear of death
No damage needed, there's like 2x the boot space if you remove the floor plate that has the spare wheel space under it with some polystyrene filling to hold the tools in place. You can put them back again later. Maybe yours has the battery there? We have the petrol only model. I always thought the boot space was too small, as we always seem to fill it up.

Oh and it's not a SUV, it's a crossover. A pretty low one as well, it's quite confortable on the highway.
Same here. One thing that works really well to cook eggs in our daily-use cast-iron pan is to add a tablespoon or so of water and put a lid on; the steam cooks the top of the eggs this way. Not great if you like your eggs brown and crispy, but it is very easy to clean; if there are any stray bits I just wipe them out with paper and put that in the compost.

Both of your premises fundamentally differ. You're trying to argue that it's wrong for others to use your work for their benefit, without compensation for you.

They're arguing that there is no such thing as "your" work in the first place, that society would be better off with unrestricted access of information for everyone. There is no such thing as "stealing" data. In fact, the notion of even being able to restrict other people from building on previous works is unethical in the first place: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-culture_movement

It's pretty much impossible to reconcile this in a comment thread.

For the record, I find your comments about the future to be incredibly pessimistic. The advent of AI has allowed a lot more people to be creative without needing to dedicate hundreds of hours to it. It's not all about money. A lot of community models out there, for example, are free in both meanings of the word.
I don't have much insight into MBA programs. But suspect that they give substance to a pre-existing world view, effectively provide tools for justifying (and even reinforcing) bad practices. This is a generalization, of course, but if someone is already a crook, an MBA would only amplify that.

All major European countries have had banking crises in the last 20 years.

Spanish & Italian banks are infamous. The oldest bank, BMPS went down.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banca_Monte_dei_Paschi_di_Sien...

Swiss banks - CS bankrupt, merged with UBS. German banks - DB and Commerzbank are both basket cases, with stock prices bouncing along the bottom, and only avoid bankruptcy because of the implicit ECB backing ( Whatever it takes ). Dodgy state-run French banks propped up by the bailout of Greece - no money went to Greece, it just went into an ECB account, then direct to creditors, mostly French banks!

Many EU sovereigns and banks and companies have been bailed out by ECB buying risky assets, even commercial bonds, etc. (Fed is also authorized to buy junk bonds, hence tight spreads v. triple-A paper).

UK banks collapsed in 2007-9, with run on Northern Rock. The banking system was effectively nationalized for a decade, and many banks merged into the TBTF incumbents. Recently, the BOE had to bail out pension funds because of MTM losses on bonds.

I think that is fair.

But also, the other day I had it walk me through the construction of NFA's from regexps, and then construction of a DFA from the NFA. I "know" the subject, but it's literally decades since I've done it.

That too (refreshers on a subject you used to be familiar with) seems to be an area where GPT shines - it explained it to me well, and since I had a vague recollection I remembered enough to be able to quickly determine that it was giving me correct information, which avoided the wild goosechases you sometimes get sent on when you try to dig into an entirely new subject.

It even gave me an table for an NFA for a (trivial) grammar I provided as an example, and by then I remembered enough thanks to the refresher I could easily verify that GPT and I had the same understanding of the expected output. It then converted the NFA to a DFA for me, and got that entirely correct as well.

Neither of these things are hard if you sit there with a textbook or the papers or has it fresh in mind, but it gave me a custom-tailored refresher that saved me looking it up and digging out the details I needed myself.

This leads into a whole "theory vs practice" argument that shows up whenever people start talking about communism. If anybody doing Effective Altruism in the real world fails, we are told that they were not doing EA correctly, and it's simply unfortunate that nobody's done it correctly yet. Thus the movement itself can never be discredited by mere experimental evidence.
Good lord.

Because people want their hot water to be consistent. Even just a simple timer that kicks on the hot water in the morning would work, but most people want to have their sink still be hot even when they aren't showering.

> it should stay hot for about 24 hours if it is well insulated.

It takes 50 kWh to heat a 46 gallon tank up to 140 F. That's a ton of energy. Hotter, larger tanks lose even more energy.

Instead, get a tankless heater, backing a small heat pump water tank. You get water as hot as you can possibly want, heated whenever you want, and it never goes cold.
That sounds miserable.
If 147 in 3 years is "a meaningful amount of people" then we're gonna need to ban a lot of other stuff to stay consistent.
His actions made perfect sense from his utilitarian Effective Altruist worldview. He was stealing from rich people, and giving the money to what he saw as "worthy causes."

He was pretty open even before the collapse about how he decided to get as rich as possible, as fast as possible, at all costs, as long as (in his own moral calculus) the net benefits were positive.

EAs are arguably a 'cult' obsessed with AI risk, which they mostly believe will end the world in the next few years. So to them, that pretty much justifies anything that could help mitigate that risk. He would see it as immoral not to become a criminal in order to fund AI risk research.

Personally, I think these AI risk concerns are legitimate, but I don't agree with these methods.
It's just a bunch of privileged armchair humanitarians who never left the confines of their fancy circles, let alone been confronted to the things they're trying to fix. They think they can fix issues better than NGOs which have had boots on the grounds for decades, just because they know python and excel, as if people actually working on humanitarian causes were benevolent r**ards. Of course, it allows for great intellectual masturbation and self-congratulation, as if fixing complex social/ecological issues was just about "cracking a problem" and presenting a neat 12-page PPT presentation, before moving to the next problem.

If any of these people actually walked the talk, we'd see a lot more one-way tickets to Africa for them to finally be able to employ their beautiful minds on real problems.
People trusted their shiny Teslas to be fine out front with the key protected at home. Then thieves figured out that the keys were most likely just behind the front door and used signal boosters to unlock and start the car.

A paranoid owner putting the key in a small Faraday caged box would not have that problem. With all the smart things we use today the attack surface is not insignificant and thinking about it is just common sense.
