> Locking people up or making drugs illegal will change nothing but cause there to be more pain.

All your suggestions are depend on locking people up to force it. Your post is just saying we need "corrective" prisons.
Your argument is tired. There is no such thing as a functional heroin addict. Most don't quit after a 20 year on and off relationship with it. They die and usually cause mayhem in the process - to society, their loved ones, the healthcare system, law enforcement, etc. I'm dealing with a very serious addict in my life right now and how "clean" the drug is makes no difference. They steal and lie non-stop. They cause massive amounts of anxiety and stress to people who love them. They disappear for weeks on end and every time you get a text or call, you think its someone saying they're dead. They treat you like a monster if you don't want to engage with their BS anymore. They claim to want "help" but when push comes to shove, they want to be enabled. After many years of this, you realize that some people simply want to live this lifestyle. The war on drugs was extreme in one direction, and your suggestion, is in the other.
We tried this cruel inhumane expensive policy for the decades called thew war on drugs and it was one of the worst failures in US history

The US has spent more than a trillion on the War on Drugs, we should use a fraction of that on housing and healthcare, instead of thinking about restarting the trillion dollar war on drugs

How would the hijackers get into the cockpit? The pilots will never, ever, open the door because instead of maximum 100 passengers dying, the plane can be used to kill thousands of people. Plus the pilots themselves will live if they keep the door closed and go home to their families.

There's not going to be a common hijacking scenario where the passengers have to get into the cockpit.
Yeah, that would be a bad situation, if the re-enforced cockpit door—meant to prevent hijackings!—became an enabler of them.

Hopefully the resistance begins before a hijacker has a chance to jump over the beverage cart while one of the pilots is going to take a leak.
I think it's telling that Putin visited Saudi Arabia ... landed ... and nothing. Clearly he came with an offer MbS couldn't refuse, and MbS refused it.

It also shows, of course, that Arab countries have not changed and have zero interest or respect for the ICC or the UN. But they do seem to respect that Iran wants to destroy them. And if stopping Iran requires war in Gaza, then they're perfectly ok with that. They have barely denounced Israel over it, in fact most haven't done that at all.

reiterating: I want to see their side.

I've lobbied in a variety of countries and stateside political entities successfully, and in the process I realized everyone thinks their cause is just. My ability to bridge consensus is more novel than the ideologies that have gravitated to the far extremes of their respective parties and will never gain consensus. What we have in common is that we all appreciate the influence that surpasses the popular vote, in places we could never be registered to vote in to begin with. So my causes have been enacted in some places, and people doing the same thing believe the same thing about their causes. Nobody sees themselves as the "shadowy foreign influence" in the other country's political process, but sure, the Michael Moore documentary 10 years too late will present it that way.

In this case, I'd like to know what the proponents believe about this particular cause to even do. What are they trying to accomplish beyond "unaccountable secret government court to piss off technologists that have a hobby of paying attention to it"?

Classic thread on this stuff from Halvar Flake:

With that in mind, it'd be handy to know which exploit techniques these steps break, and whether those steps are in the current "meta" game for exploit developers.

(The specific mitigation here: the kernel formerly locked system call invocation down to the libc.so area of program text in memory; libc.so is big, so now OpenBSD locks specific system calls down to their specified libc stubs; further, in static binaries, the same mechanism locks programs down to only those system calls used in the binary, which effectively disables all the system calls not explicitly invoked by the program text of a static binary).
I find ASP.Net Core to be a fantastic dev platform. I'm running it on a $3/mo Hetzner ARM server. ASP ships with its own highly optimized web server out of the box and Microsoft also has their own Nginx competitor now too.

> - imprisonment is not effective at curbing drug use in individuals or systemically, because illicit drugs will always be available, see prohibition for the strongest case here

I disagree that hardline policies can't work. In China, there is no social safety net for drug users (nor much for anyone else), nor is there much sympathy for it, therefore...drug abuse happens for sure, but it just doesn't survive very long (one way or the other).

But regarding more permissive western cultures: imprisonment in the American system of "we put you away and don't bother with substance abuse treatment in prison" doesn't work, but there are definitely alternatives to that (flood prisons with substance abuse treatment programs).
If you want to really dive into the math and motivation for this entirely new class of models (state space models) I highly recommend reading Albert Gu’s thesis.

I tried to read the Mamba paper and I was lost but after reading his thesis it was a lot to understand it.

The part I’m still struggling with is the section on how Mamba trains so efficiently, it’s surprising since it is actually autoregressive and step by step and I thought this is why LSTMs were dropped
We like to talk about the specific effects of the patent system (protects the little guy, etc), but we rarely talk about the cumulative effects of it.

The more I look at the small innovators, they are all hungry to improve upon things the big companies are sitting on for 20+ years with a big moat to protect them, and I really get to thinking that in aggregate we are doing more harm than good.

A response I hear is "then no one would invest" and I think that's false. The investment landscape would change from a small number of big investments to a larger number of smaller investments - investing in tooling to help you beat the competition next year, but not necessarily giving you a 10 year investment for your big dream. And I think that's fine - people still want to innovate and the market already rewards innovators. It is not clear to me that government mandated restrictions on innovation are a good idea at all, and none of the common talking points really engage with the facts as I see them.

Take a look at FDM 3D printers. They went from $50k to $25k in the 13 years they were for sale and under patent protection, and then 10 years after patent protection ended they were $250 and sold by a wide variety of companies all over the world.

How many of today's patented goods could be made for 100x cheaper without patents and what is the cumulative effect of manufacturing machinery, medical equipment, washing machines, computers, and more being 100x cheaper? Is our world really better without that?

I can't help but admire this type of behaviour. For everything that spawns a market (in this case books), you can expect someone to find a way to benefit from it in unusual ways, and usually it takes some creativity and originality. I suspect, even though destructive behaviour, it sometimes develops new knowledge about the field.

I always roll my eyes when I see people only highlighting revenue with no other context. I always assume the margins are small.

In the article when it talks about a "six figure operation", I think they are referring to the $650k in revenue, which would be a six figure operation. I don't see any clues into what he's taking home.
Do you recall what kind of bonuses they award to patent authors, if any?

It might be that that's not as high of a barrier to entry as it seems. It would cost much more than that to replicate the engineering quality that goes into the Apple system of products for instance.
Well, also the only reason a lot of people turned to heroin in the first place was that OxyContin was taken away from them.

There was a lot of illegal OxyContin use but most of it was well regulated and under the control of doctors and pharmacists.

The kid is going to be fine after they are in a cast for a few weeks/months. A fentanyl addict, even with million of dollars over a few years of treatment, is more than likely never going to be OK again. Both involve moral hazard (if society is responsible for the consequences), but the consequences of both aren't similar at all.
The same. Kel Varnsen was the mastermind behind their pivot from latex products. They changed the name about the same time, due to unrelated litigation.
This is also true. The decline in community (where religion played a large part in cementing personal and local bonds) and increase in anomie has led not just to deaths of despair and to other symptoms not just loneliness and depression, but on the fringes of alienation and disconnection to where some volatile people go as far hate-fueled "blaze of glory" mass shootings.

I find one of the biggest losses, especially in dense cities, is that the churches and community orgs there often lack local, long-term ties to said communities. Also, there are a number of religious institutions in big cities that are sometimes open only on (Friday, Saturday, or Sunday depending on their beliefs) and don't provide as much closeness and synomie for people as rural religious institutions do.

I wouldn't recommend that all things must attempt to recapture the 1950's apartheid and social conservativism in all regards, but a crucial linchpin of a functional society appears to be missing. It is not necessarily religion or faith, but it includes a lack of love for, and trust of, others where America went from community-individual balanced to hyperindividualism with a dysfunctional social safety net.
I'm pretty sure that when sneaking in laws like this, the people who write $100K checks don't even want explicit public support for their positions. Lobbying for public support means intentionally publicizing the thing you're trying to sneakily do. Maybe you convert one person to your side, but in order to do that, you've told five people what you're going to do.

For some opinions, you can't find anyone who publicly holds them who isn't being paid in some way. The best you can do is find a thinktank that is also being paid to support the idea, but which is also being paid to write the apologia that others will repeat parts of when confronted. If you hear politicians repeating the same phrases, google them and you might find the original.

A supportive WaPo/NYT oped will also be written by the thinktank (often signed by a congressperson or celebrity), but if they can't quid-pro-quo into the editorial pages of one of those two, they'll still have a half-dozen on Politico/The Hill that will lead you to a paper.
It's an interesting experience, I have github send me an email on the odd occasion the community developed "OS" gets an update. Then I download the zip file on my phone browser and upload the file on Gadgetbridge for the update.

I sometimes call it my "soviet in a good way" watch, it ended up becoming my "function over fashion" watch, which means almost all day every day wear for a few years now.

pros:

decent battery life (1-2 weeks, i turn off bluetooth and gps on my phone overnights which helps both devices)

"good enough" design (durable enough for all but swimming/showering)

easily replaced or modified (even takes standard watch bands)

flashlight, notifications and all traditional digital watch functions

multiple community "OS" options

cons:

community development can be slow, buggy

water droplets particularly from natural rain can trigger the touchscreen, not amazing if you bike in seattle or something

anemic hardware

The charger is cheap and isn't that quick but again, the pinetime kind of excels in knowing the difference between good and good enough, as I once heard an engineer say (about something else), and I rarely find myself bothered by it's lack of luxuries.
> It is far better to fill it with a stable, local, hope-giving religion.

If it's a binary choice of opiate addiction vs. religious practice, sure. But for many, the hole that some fill with religion is filled with other sorts of meaning-giving practices. Not to take away from the comfort, stability and hope that religious affiliation provides for many; but for others the source of connection to the transcendent and to contributing to concerns beyond oneself comes in different forms.

Singapore has no drug problems. You might think what they do is extreme but it works.
Ferrari has terms that you can't modify the car for a period of time or else they can reclaim it. One of the more famous cases of this was when Deadmau5 wrapped his with the Nyan Cat (he then bought a Lambo and did the same thing). Another situation I saw involved a TikToker who did an EV conversion.
Is there a measure for how this compares to places without social programs for drug addicts? This is a legitimate question, I don't know if they've done better or worse in the context of the failed war on drugs.

Because the country as a whole has been completely ravaged by opiate addiction. It's not just Portland and Seattle. West Virginia doesn't have anything like this, and it's just as badly afflicted. It may be less visible because it doesn't have the same population density.
Without a pre-formed opinion: does anybody have an intuition for the security benefits this provides? My first thought is that it’s primarily mitigating cases of attacker-introduced shellcode, which should already be pretty well covered by techniques like W^X. Code reuse techniques (ROP, JOP, etc.) aren’t impacted, right?

I would also think this would cause problems for JITed code, although maybe syscalls in JITed code aren’t common enough for this to be an issue (or the JIT gets around it by calling a syscall thunk, similar to how Go handled OpenBSD’s earlier syscall changes).

Interesting. How does this impact an Android user who sends text to you? To them everyone is green (or whatever color Android uses) correct?
I'm really interested in the "does it limit innovation" question. Is this a case where Qualcomm is really innovating and coming up with novel ideas, or are they just some of the first people to encounter particular problems and are simply solving them in fairly obvious ways that would occur to anyone else who encountered those problems? And if it's the latter, is it that they are doing those investigations because of the potential for patents? Would the pace of innovation be slower if those incentives didn't exist, or would they be faster because everybody else independently figuring those things out later wouldn't need to pay Qualcomm for decades? Is there some sort form of technology economy scholarship that could answer those questions?

If I had to guess, I'd guess that Qualcomm's patents over stuff like Wi-Fi and CDMA were probably more harmful than beneficial, but I'd love to know how one would analyze that.

Do you hear yourself? Using using an iPhone for communication is perfectly normal. I’m at a top 10 (biggest in terms of number of students) university in the US and I can confidently tell you the overwhelming majority of people carries iPhones. The 57% statistic use site probably skewed toward the older demographic, where older people are more likely to use flip phones and androids. I would if I knew that strange if I wasn’t a part of group chat just because I have an android. Technical users like the increased privacy and security, while more regular users like the extra features. They’re just isn’t an argument to be made for having androids in group chats. And no, nobody is using signal or telegram or WhatsApp in college
