The various comments complaining that Justices have violated this Code in the past are forgetting that modern law and society looks dimly on ex-post-facto rulemaking and such laws are in fact forbidden by the Constitution. Past actions are certainly not covered under a code that is promulgated as of today.

Anyway, it looks like a step forward. It will be interesting to see if there is any movement from Congress should the Code be violated.

It’s not that LLMs have mental models. It’s that people have mental models of how various things work.

For example, many people have a wrong mental model of how an oven works. They think that if they set the oven for 350 F it heats with more energy than if they set the oven for 150 F. In reality it heats at exactly the same power, but it turns off when the internal temperature reaches the set rate.

For most use cases it does not matter that your mental model does not match how the oven works. But there are some not he cases where it does matter.

The article shares a mental model of how LLMs work that might help users use them better.

Arguably you can buy the mobile variants of the Ryzen 7000 series, like 7940HS/7840HS, as a package, cheaper per core than the 7950X. Depending on the use case it may be a better fit. Definitely if footprint and/or power consumption are main drivers it may be much better.

If you need the I/O or full ECC of the bigger systems then you just need the bigger systems.

>>7 FDA commissioners since 2017

hmmm... were they fired or did they take very high paying Big Pharma Jobs further enriching themselves from the corrupt deep state?
Seems odd to call the leadership of the FDA "an unelected permanent government" and then linking to a commissioner's job after they resigned from the FDA. Even more ironically for this particular discussion - the legality of this pretty open corruption is specifically due to decisions made by the Supreme Court, who have gutted all of the bribery, official corruption, and campaign finance laws we used to have.

Now that we've entrenched the ideas that impeachment and the judiciary are political weapons we've broken the checks and balances that the constitution put in place. In the before times Thomas would've been impeached in a bipartisan manner.
This is why supreme court conclusions (and law in general) MUST base themselves on the constitution. The more interpretation involved, the wider the door to influence pedaling becomes. The constitution needs to be strictly interpreted and there should be no place for "updating" its meaning based on shifting cultural trends.

The threat of influence pedaling is also a good reason to keep the justice count small. Increasing the justice count increases the attack surface and also makes it harder to track. In addition to granting the executive branch more influence over the courts.
I can still imagine the floppy drive making the "chug-chug-chug" sound when you knew that the disk was bad.
It's that we are bad per se. But there is no money for that anymore. Most of the money goes to bullshit jobs or secondary things that are mostly about enabling the mentioned bullshit jobs. If you look at most western countries almost half the economic output is directed to those things.
You really can't build a future when most of the ressource goes to satisfy this and the relentless needs of the elderly who do not even contribute meaningfully.
When a lot of your ressource goes to satisfy the ones who are dying, nothing forward looking gets done, it's pretty logical, they are dying they do not have to care.
In many countries there is political fragmentation and a lot of unease related to this.
Personally, I blame feminism, socialism, and boomers.
I know it is not a politically correct opinion, but I think time will tell soon enough. Many recent events substantiate that.

My opinion doesn't matter anyway, the reality is that even in France that was a leader and highly successful in nuclear technology; new reactors do not get built or/and take forever.

It has nothing to do with skill, it is pretty much a systemic and political problem. Remove the political opinions, remove the feminist bullshit and things will get done.
In the meantime, I suggest enjoying the fall, because nothing will happen until it gets so bad there will be no choice.

> Their work, now published in Nature Communications, also shows that the electrical response of photo-excited K3C60 is not linear, that is, the resistance of the sample depends on the applied current. This is a key feature of superconductivity, validates some of the previous observations and provides new information and perspectives on the physics of K3C60 thin films.

"Superconducting nonlinear transport in optically driven high-temperature K3C60" (2023) https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-42989-7 :

> Abstract: Optically driven quantum materials exhibit a variety of non-equilibrium functional phenomena, which to date have been primarily studied with ultrafast optical, X-Ray and photo-emission spectroscopy. However, little has been done to characterize their transient electrical responses, which are directly associated with the functionality of these materials. Especially interesting are linear and nonlinear current-voltage characteristics at frequencies below 1 THz, which are not easily measured at picosecond temporal resolution. Here, we report on ultrafast transport measurements in photo-excited K3C60. Thin films of this compound were connected to photo-conductive switches with co-planar waveguides. We observe characteristic nonlinear current-voltage responses, which in these films point to photo-induced granular superconductivity. Although these dynamics are not necessarily identical to those reported for the powder samples studied so far, they provide valuable new information on the nature of the light-induced superconducting-like state above equilibrium Tc. Furthermore, integration of non-equilibrium superconductivity into optoelectronic platforms may lead to integration in high-speed devices based on this effect.
This is so fun. I'd love to integrate this into a holiday card app :)
Same here. I have completely lost all interest in new tech, devices, trends, etc. Using anything today is an excercise of finding out all the different ways it's trying to screw you over.

The increment happens as fast as the clock allows, which means any reasonable rate is much more than the cycle time. It delays 250us once it hears a click.

I'm not quite sure why we bother with resetting the counter to 0 when it hears a click though.

Isn't adulthood the socially acceptable murder of your "inner child"?

In all seriousness - this article reads like someone who just plain old doesnt have their shit together. Nothing at all to do with adulthood? How hard is it to get a big enough bag to put your things in, a clean bottle, cook a good meal, blow your kids nose, and comb their hair before you leave the house.

None of those things are hard or signal adulthood.

I have the unique vantage point of my mum having worked as a cook in a childcare centre. She's noticed in her 25 years of holding that job - the steady descent of quality in parenting:

The shirking of "raising" to grandparents.
The complete ignorance of child raising basics (such as introduction to foods in a gradual manner)
The insidious invasion of "choice" to children's lives. Why the fk are you asking your kid if they want nuggets or brocolli? Of course the kid's going to choose nuggets...
The widespread seeming fatigue in parents (this i understand as it was common in the early 90s for there to be a single breadwinner, and with the cost of living increasing - this becomes increasingly impossible even if a family would love to have a parent stay at home)
Parents on their phones instead of paying attention to their kids.

I dont have kids - but - I have lived and worked amongst parents and have noticed a marked "drop" in the inner-strength of parents over time. My mum admitted she was "winging" it when raising kids - and im not sure if her being a mum to her own siblings as a child (lived in a large family as the oldest girl) had anything to do with it.

The article argues between the difference of a JavaScript Web component and a HTML Web component, you describing the former, thus the need for JavaScript.

Personally I think the main problem here is client side rendering to begin with, with a modern server side templating library you get a component based structure too and can abstract whatever HTML tags you want in your component before client side JavaScript.

Problem with React is that it is JavaScript first, you always begin with a JavaScript function, but in my opinion the web should be HTML first.

Frankly those are trips that were disclosed and Thomas’s trips weren’t. That’s one of the biggest problems with what Thomas did (and shows that he knew what he did wouldn’t pass muster).

Of course, that’s assuming you’re not one of the people who believes that he truly thought a trip on a private plane does not need to be disclosed because the seat would have otherwise been taken by someone else so it wasn’t actually a benefit.
Part of the antitrust issue is that Apple never developed their own search engine because of these payments. Google paid Apple to not compete.

I don't know the answer to your question, but the fact that the Google-AOL deal was never challenged doesn't mean it was legal. Plenty of illegal things are never challenged.
I feel like his signature is taken to be an indication that he believes he has already always followed this code -- that is, he endorses the statement in the preamble that it "largely represents a codification of principles that we have
long regarded as governing our conduct."

This is what really gets to me--it is explicitly framed as a PR exercise: "The absence of a code...has led to the misunderstanding that the Justices regard themselves as unrestricted by any ethics rules." Missing is any acknowledgment that the Code may not have been followed in the past.
The linked previous project does:

https://github.com/gbonacini/nuclear_random_number_generator

"I tested the randomness both testing the bytes and the single bits in the binary file created from the ASCII file from the appliance console ( see Appendix here or test directory for full result text).

Accordingly with ENT man page: "If the percentage is greater than 99% or less than 1%, the sequence is almost certainly not random. If the percentage is between 99% and 95% or between 1% and 5%, the sequence is suspect. Percentages between 90% and 95% and 5% and 10% indicate the sequence is “almost suspect”", so having 85.17 percent in the bytes test and 60.52 percent in the bits test should be fine."

Entropy = 7.998386 bits per byte.

Yes there should be distinctions if level of corruption. For instance stealing candy from a baby and putting an ad in the paper saying you've done it is probably less bad than stealing candy when nobody sees it. And no I don't think this is the same as stealing candy, since some fucking pedant is gonna make that comment.
> But I believe this whole "anti-react" movement isn't talking about such usecases, but rather against defaulting frameworks and building using them 'from the ground up', where trully all the website actually need is the "sparkling of interactivity on top"

We absolutely don't have shared language for these things and we aren't always talking about the same things. The thing is there are just vanishingly few places where you only need a "sparkling of interactivity on top". Yes your blog probably doesn't need a full framework, nor does your news site (which is just a blog++) or your marketing web page. But so many other things really do or things break down quickly. Also what your web site needs today might not cover what it needs tomorrow. I've seen a number of "web admin"/backend control panels (customer-facing for config) start simple then grow until they start to collapse under their own weight with just added jQuery as needed. Sure, at the start, htmlx/jQuery might cover all you need but soon you are building custom UI to represent business logic/ideas and managing with that gets very unwieldy. The people that say "all you need is the built-in HTML elements" are living in a fantasy land, try using the default date/time picker and get back to me.

I'm sure there are things I'd agree with the anti-react crowd on (places you don't need a framework) but all their examples are incredibly contrived and feel like the "TODO app examples" you often see for frameworks or learning a language. They don't even scratch the surface of what's needed for complicated apps, they are great to show off the simple things but it seems like the anti-react/anti-framework crowd thinks those simple examples are all you need and that's just silly.

At the end of the day I'll admit I reach for a framework earlier than I absolutely need it and that's because I've built 10's and 10's of sites (web apps) from the ground up and eventually you either use a framework or you end up creating a shitty version of one. So yeah, day 1 I might not need Vue but day 100 I'm sure glad I have all of Vue to build on.

Is an ADHD diagnosis really that "legally and socially consequential?" What are these consequences you describe, and how would one become subject to them?

I'm struggling to think of any real consequences, unless you are an airline pilot or have a security clearance, and even then I don't think ADHD is a deal breaker.

To add to this (because I can no longer edit my post). An excuse I saw just last week is that although I found vulnerabilities, the company doesn't believe it's a security issue and have no interest in fixing it, so the reports will be closed as informative.

Keep in mind the bugs I found allows a lower-privileged group to not only access, but updated privileged information and other sections in the account with no user interaction. Definitely a security issue (multiple, in fact).

This is why security issues never get fixed and people like me stop looking. I suspect they will fix it and are again trying to find ways not to pay me.
I am also sure that prompt injection will be used to break out to be able to use a company's support chat for example as a free and reasonably fast LLM, so someone else would cover OpenAI expense for the attacker.

Oh boy now you've opened the can of worms that will bring out the people complaining about CentOS...

But honestly, it depends on what you're using Ubuntu for. As a server or a VM for some work-adjacent purpose like this, Fedora's release cycle is too fast. I prefer Debian simply because there's no bullshit to it, it will always be there, its the base for most Docker images. I also consider most VMs ephemeral which gets around my annoyance with apt not having anything nearly as cool as dnf history.

I'm actually fine with modern CentOS but "I'll stick it on Debian" has been a really good default for me for the past 20 years.

As a desktop/workstation, Fedora's pretty good! Good package manager, good release cadence, strong commitment to upstreaming everything. GNOME has started to annoy me but Fedora's KDE release is great.

Yeah, we can do it in the shader by taking the UV texcoord, sampling the texture rgb, then using a collector, add the r, g, b values to the collector with the offsets in uv's to return the pixel color. It's extremely easy to do in HLSL/GLSL/WGSL/SPIRV/Metal. It can even be controlled using a vector map for the offsets so you can tune it and vignette the chromatic aberration around the edges of the screen. Giving it that truly retro CRT arcade feel. The more the spherical projection, the more aberration.
