If I recall scott Manley correctly, mach 5 is roughly the speed only reachable by ramjets. And also roughly the speed where aerodynamic heating starts generating plasma around the airframe.

Hence getting to mach 5 requires solving two problems that don't really need to be solved for slower speeds.
For me it’s semi-visual. More symbolic somehow.

> I still don't think it is a good idea

It's not a good idea because it's not how things are done in literally any other country that develops software. This makes all US development shops immediately 1/5th as profitable (on the books) as non-US shops. Yes, they catch up after 5 years, if they're still in business.

I'm not sure that I'm overstating it but this law change will, I think, effectively eliminate onshore software development as a profitable activity.

It's very strange that this hasn't been checked back given the size of the sector. I don't normally believe stories about US government dysfunction - which seems mostly like a dog and pony show - but for something like this not to have been rectified is a bit odd.

Which is useless, because you can't run 166 billion clinical trials.

But you could run half a dozen if there's a strong chance one of them will be a success. Filtering the list down to 100 molecules from 166 billion, some of which can be further eliminated by human evaluation without the expense of clinical trials, is actually useful.

You still ultimately have to do the clinical trial, because there is no substitute for empiricism.

Clippy would only complain about expensive expressions when it can prove that the alternative would be always better than the original (for example, `or_fun_call` [1]). It is not impossible to measure the cost of given expression to suggest that, but that would increase a risk of false positives. The OP has the same challenge---this kind of range analysis can only occur (and currently does occur) much later than Clippy.

The Psychology of Public Relations
Will this ever die? None of the societies that people point and scream about were actually communist in any real sense. They were just random flavors of authoritarianism wrapped in incoherent bits of Marxist–Leninist and/or Maoist ideology, both of which are the furthest thing from any of the popular left-communist and anarcho-socialist movements that exist in the US.

To put it in perspective, the Soviets literally rolled tanks on striking union workers and students in Hungary and killed thousands of people because they were (to heavily summarize) the wrong kind of communists. This is where the phrase "tankie" comes from.
I don't "see", as in, it does not start feeling like my closed eyes are sending signals of an elephant or some residual image of it. However, I am able to "visualize" an elephant in outline and some detail within that darkness. It remains clear that it's not from the eyes, but it also shows up in the perception nevertheless.

My best guess would be that the neural pathways related to an elephant would partially be firing, yet, the neural pathways from the eyes aren't, and the brain remains aware of this.

Where I live most couriers only ever drive out 2 or so days a week.

I always get delivery notifications (NOT Expectations, notifications, i.e. your package will be delivered on the 15th). But the 15th is then a tuesday, and they only drive out on a wednesday. They will then mark the parcel as "failed to deliver", usually with something like the "business premises of the recipient was closed" - even though I am not a business but a residential home on residential property. Then magically the following day they deliver it.

If the parcel is notified for delivery on a wednesday, it arrives just fine.

Health data belonging to ~10k people was stolen from genetic testing company
I have a similar abacus (japanese soroban) and use it to keep scores in board games by dedicating say three columns per player (they will never get more than 999 points). It is such an underrated piece of "technology". Calculating actions (e.g "add 45", "subtract 13") become finger movements. You can "feel" what the actions represent in finger movement. This enables you to calculate very fast, faster than typing it into a calculator. I am sure the roman calculators (the humans operating the abacus) got really fast at this, maybe even to the point of internalizing a mental abacus. Look at the guy on the left in this counting contest, he's air counting on his mental abacus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-THPY14fzc

I respect this comment for being very aggressive while still, AFAICT, being within the HN rules lol. I also came to the comments with a “wait, does this make any sense…?” attitude.

That said, I disagree with your decision to see this line of work as dishonest, despite the higher tempo meaning they’re a bit more rote. They’re popular because they’re easy to digest, and i think that’s an important role!

Consider what this article is: they’re just trying to critique a particular design and explain the principles behind it. Not everyone already knows every design principle.

Could come up with a thousand reasons, but if you want a quick "Fun" reason and a quick "Utilitarian" reason:

Fun: I travel a ton, I love looking at where I went to relive the experience. Especially if it was a recent travel and I'm showing things off to friends asking about it. I just open up the Timeline and say "Okay, well this day we flew in - then we took a 4 hour car ride, then we hung in this town for a few days, then took a boat to this island for some camping, then flew over to this city for a week, and..."

Utilitarian: As a US Citizen living abroad, I apply for the FEIE tax exemption every year to help me keep my first ~$120k as untaxed from the Feds (Should be my entire income, but no - US needs to tax on citizenship and not residency like nearly everyone else.. but I digress). For this rule, I need to have full 24-hour days in foreign territory, so for my documentation to ensure I'm still within my limit, I like pulling up Timeline - snapping a screenshot/export and saving it for later should I ever be audited.

If you're not familiar with Steve Yegge, this is his classic rant style. It might not be your cup of tea, but it's definitely more substantial than "AI generated blogspam", and I think you should point out where exactly you think the hallucinations are for everyone if you think it is.
> Some life experience + common sense?

If you asked people with "life experience + common sense" if generative AI would soon be possible six months before it actually was, they'd have said no and been wrong.

> In theory we could build a rocket that would fly a person to the moon in 6 months.

Kennedy said it would be done by the end of the decade, people called him crazy, and then it happened. The people saying it couldn't be done were still saying it right up until the day it happened.

> If that's the case, you wouldn't be making such bold claims (or rather actually believing in them yourself)

I don't think he, or anyone, believes that it will definitely happen in six months. He's giving the optimistic end of the range, but everybody knows that.

> Does that include the people who were actually working on them in OpenAI?

Before they had them working internally? Yeah, it did. Nobody knew it would work until it actually worked.

Small anecdote from Xmas 2020. My then company, e-commerce firm, was all FedEx. Sent out shipments around Black Friday by the literal trailer load. FedEx, due to their capacity issues or whatever, took a trailer from our warehouse to their parking lot or whatever and had it sitting for about a week there untouched, before ever scanning the packages or manifest into their system. So we had thousands of customers angrily calling us wondering why “FedEx is awaiting this package,” assuming we were lying to them that we shipped it days ago. Needless to say we signed with UPS after that, and they never pulled anything that egregious.
agreed. too much sarcasm for an hr friendly ai to generate.

> 911 is a life-saving measure in the case of violent crime

Is it really though? Where I live (major US metro area with 4-5m population, middle of the city), response time from 911 if you're actively being murdered is like... 6-7 minutes on average. If it's not a tier 1 call, response time is slower than that.

6-7 minutes is an eternity during the act of a violent crime. Police don't have the capacity to save your life from violence.
Good point. Though that affects OpenAI too for new data.

I had assumed most of their web content was from Common Crawl, and the older pre-ChatGPT Common Crawl datasets used would still be available. But it looks like Twitter, for one, was not in Common Crawl.
Wow, that's outrageous.
That's an obvious strawman. Regulation against market failures is not equivalent to central planning.
And you can refuse, and they can't compel you to comply. They can take your phone and do their best to break into it or image its internal storage, but they have no right to detain you based on a refusal to unlock your phone.

If you are not a US citizen, however, and you are trying to enter the country, they can use your refusal as a basis for denying you entry. Which is garbage, but... yeah.

Your 3-sec delay issue sounds more like AirPlay 1 vs AirPlay 2 issue to me.

AirPlay 1 has this delay (or more like 2 seconds to be fair), while it is reduced to like 200ms on AirPlay 2.

The US military has run 2 exercises back in the day, seeing how vulnerable Pearl Harbour was to an air attack. The answer was very.

The US wrote the reports both times as “well done guys but this is not realistic for the following reasons”.

It’s not possible for the US to lose a conventional war they are ready for, just as it wasn’t possible for hamas to invade Israel.

This is btw. a big issue when you teach things. As someone who can imagine geometry and light, rotate and manipulate it in my head, saying things like: "Just imagine a sliced donut intersected with a cylinder".

Some people will and some people won't be able to do that, and those who can't very likely will blame themselves for not being able to understand it. But as educators we need to make sure we give people without mental images actual images they can look at.
I dont think they are making a legal statement, but just doing a business maneuver. Something could be perfectly legal, but just against company policy.
I wonder if they'll implement a way to send the location history to the other devices of the same customer.

Furthermore I expect that there will a way to move that data to a new device, even a new phone replacing a dead one. It's one of the reasons to buy a new one, it happened to me 2 times out of 3 since I had modern smartphones.

The safest and most convenient way would be an encrypted backup to Google Drive (for Android, I don't know where for iOS,) with a password that only the user knows, different from the one of the Google account.
I wish this wasn't downvoted as for me its the right answer.

unsafe in rust is a blank cheque for the compiler. Doing anything complicated in it is almost guaranteed to have UB somewhere. You decide to disable safety.

If possible, write the safe but tedious code. Then measure. Only when you're sure unsafe is worth it should you take out the big cannon. Write a km of comments proving this code needs and deserves unsafe. Writing the tedious code is less time consuming than debugging the mess.

I wish the video author documented why he choose unsafe here. Was it measured and worth it in an older version of rust? Or a folly of youth (which is fine, as long as you learn from it, been there done that paid the time debugging my stupidity)

The most surprising thing to me is that this "condition" is not that well studied. Just shows how much we human still don't know and has many more science discovery to make.

I remember there was old post on HN about it from someone who used or still working in Amazon. I am on my phone now so may be someone else could search and copy the link.
A court or police compelling someone to open their safe would tautologically be for the purpose of discovering evidence of a crime which is exactly what the fifth amendment protects.

The reason it's not a been a big deal is courts is because, if police have a warrant, they're going to hire their go-to safe driller to drill the safe open.
Instead of photographing from every angle you could capture with an array of cameras placed on the outside of a ~1m spheroid, similar to how Google captured their lightfield demos. Generating guassian splats with that data would allow for high quality, perspective correct imagery from any virtual camera placed within that sphere, sort of like a 360 degree photo (and eventually video) that looks totally convincing.

Move your head outside the sphere and the effect would break, but I feel 1x1m would be enough to allow for enough freedom of movement to be comfortable. Capture could perhaps be somewhat portable with some clever engineering, think those expanding sphere ball toys.
