Only remembering now is a clear and common sign of trauma. This is one of the reasons that explain why so many sex-assaulters are never exposed. Another 'interesting' reason is the revictimization. The latter is way more insidious and makes me very mad when identified (on gender matters or anything).
function* operation() {
//@ts-expect-error `string` is not assignable to `number`!
let count = yield* createString();

Is this a typo? How does the compiler know that count should be a number?
Didn't know this site existed. Way better than the Octopus app.
I think it’s expected that pharmacists be held to the same or higher standards than we held video store clerks.

> Isn't it more useful to think of code not as an asset but as a liability?

Yes. I love to code and I love that metaphor. One day while browsing Reddit/TIFU, a post jumped at me: "TIFU by creating and releasing a Reddit plugin for Firefox/Chrome, because I'll have to maintain it for my whole life."

It's so funny, true and enlightening at the same time.

> most people use it as a synonym for "bad code"

For me, "tech debt" is the suboptimal solution you shoehorned in the last minute because you don't have any alternative course at that moment (time, brain fog, etc.), which can boil to bad code, in general.

Presence of code itself is not the technical debt itself.
For me, it needs to be more than weekly. I seem to build up a debt of "something" which seems to be resolved by doing something I love. Mostly this had been walking, surfing, hiking, reading, gaming, rugby, and so on. And now it is impossible to get time for that. Once a week we each get to do something for ourselves, but only for a few hours. Looking after the two children alone is tough for either of us, so we don't leave the other person alone with them for too long.

It seems to have impacted me far worse though, for whatever reason. I never knew what depression actually was before I had children.
Nobody is forcing anyone, it’s just the natural choice for the lower earning parent to step away from their job. If women to a high degree only marry higher earning spouses, then this is frequently going to be the woman.

> Expecting indifferently-paid and often-overworked pharmacist assistants, clerks, etc. to stand up to law enforcement

This seems trivial to solve. Subpoenas get forwarded to corporate legal and they handle releasing of records.

It seems peculiar this isn't SOP now. Perhaps it's because pharmacists/managers cost less (in $ and accountability) than lawyers.
Yes, and it's better we spend the effort on preventing the physical abuse from happening in the first place.

It's difficult to compare as things like whether your keyboard backlight were on the whole time start to have significant impacts in the runtime for more efficient machines and with certain things like hardware video decoding not being implemented watching high res videos compounds with the previous note while another use case may not.

> The societal decline would be parents etc not teaching their sons and daughters about the dangers in the world.

Nonsense.

Kids these days are as well informed and trained on threats as any kids in living memory. They aren’t even permitted to walk to school, in many cases, and are trained on how to cope with people coming to their schools to kill them.
Yes and no. Sometimes people try to write a short implementation to be clever (code golf) and the result is another liability.

Code should

1. Function as needed
2. Be clear to read and understand
3. Perform well enough

Possibly even in the order listed. Performance is the trickiest one of course. Sometimes it's not negotiable and messes with #2. But one should always benchmark and profile to see what needs to actually be done before sacrificing clarity and cleanness.
The zip images? It meant that less data was being sent. Same with the cache.

> he near future looks like a heterogeneous mixture of natural and artificial intelligences interacting on a level footing, enforced by legal protections.

using LLMs as tools already covers this.

But to your wider point, now that google have licensed most things, or have arranged some sort of deal with large IP creators, the whole "boo hiss copyright" movement has died down. This means that unless its in the interest of google, or some other exceptionally rich corp to water down IP laws, nothing much will change.

I suspect that the only thing will change is how data is licensed for LLM creation.
There are a few things that I wish I could change which would improve my personal security posture massively:

1. When advanced data protection is turned on, it should not be possible to change the Apple ID password without the associated hardware tokens.

2. Again when advanced data protection is on, it should require the hardware tokens to add a Face ID appearance or change the device passcode.
And yet, not every assortment of bricks and wood in a backyard is necessarily a house. It must be turned into a house with accepted value first, until then it might even be a liability to the real estate it is piled on.

Same applies to code. Also code should first be proven to create value to be valued as an asset. In worst case, it may just be a pile of bricks devaluing the property.
To be clear, the comparison was originally with GPT3 and ChatGPT3. ChatGPT3 would lie about anti-vaxx books never existing. GPT3 would answer facts.
Does anyone know any other tech publications at the level of Stratechery? Ben Thompson seems to get his analysis right and provide useful correct perspectives more than basically anyone else I’ve seen.
Theory:

The state licensing boards are aware of the problem, and "neglect" to punish pharmacists who are caught in such situations with law enforcement.
I just want to +1 this because I had mixed feelings about the last post this one addresses and some of the comments made me feel a little insane and I couldn’t figure out why.

I can’t think of many times in my career where adding or modifying code made things more difficult, it’s easier the more I put into it, the more I reason through it and make improvements or add features. When I read this post it makes more sense to me, of course I would program this way, because I am very lazy and I don’t like programming for the heck of it, I like building, so any programming that got in the way of me moving faster became an obstacle to be improved or removed if it couldn’t.

This is the natural progression of good systems I’ve seen so far in my relatively short experience programming/building (about 11 years if you add school).

Anyway thanks for this, I thought I was going crazy. Need to go reread pragmatic programmer again.

It takes real courage to stand up to a request in those circumstances. A notable example from a few years ago was this nurse [0] who was unlawfully arrested and forcefully dragged away by an officer when she refused to take blood samples from an unconscious patient without a warrant.

Imagine how much more difficult it would be to resist this when you're a clerk in a retail store working in public.

No because the vector can also change in magnitude. Even if the spiral was perfectly aligned to impact the perfect center of the Earth we could change the magnitude of the object by nuking either pole to either slow it down or speed it up. Enough energy on any pole could make it miss regardless of the orientation.

This debate feels like arguing whether real estate is debt or not.

It can certainly be that way if you're leveraged to the max, the value of the property has gone down, and you're paying for maintenance. Then you're just losing money on the property. But ideally and commonly real estate is an asset with equity value.

It's largely the same with code. It can be a liability, but it should be an asset. And if you don't want that risk on your books, there are increasingly many ways to rent code (SaaS / PaaS / etc.)
A few tricks that can catch meeting that a more or less guaranteed to be useless (in IT):

* Does it have less than 10 people attending?

* It there an here an agenda?

* Is there more technical people than managers?

* Do you know why you've been asked to attend?

If you can answer "No" to any of those questions, you're going to have a bad time. Now you can have meetings where you answer yes to all of the above, and it's still useless, but the chances are lower.
>Here’s how that would play out: You’re the only store manager out of all of the chain to have this policy.

The parent post specifically says that it wold be company policy, so that wouldn't apply.

Comparative Cost Analysis for Deploying LLMs: Cloud, Self-Hosted, and 3rd Party
Mathematician here, but I can also speak for the physicists in this regard. When we say “1d”, “2d” or “3d”, we refer to “space”, i.e. space dimensions. Those diagrams you refer to are called “space-time” diagrams, and reflect the situation in space (y-axis) at a given time (t-axis).

A first remark can be made here: the wave equation is not symmetric in space and time; as a consequence, space and time are fundamentally different (this is even more clear on the heat equation, where not only do we have space-time asymmetry, but also irreversibility). A second remark is that the wave equation is hyperbolic, meaning it has underlying geometrical objects called “characteristic curves”.

This “characteristics” are quite special, as are trajectories in space-time where the solution of the wave equation (the wave profile) looks constant. In the simplest of scenarios, this characteristics are straight lines in space-time (i.e. x-ct=const), and have the remarkable property of separating space-time.

For the wave equation, there are two characteristic curves: x-ct=const and x+ct=const. The first one represents a wave traveling forward in space and the second one represents a wave traveling backwards. Together, they form a “light-cone”, and break space-time into two: “space like” space-time (up and down regions of the cone) and “time like” space-time (left and right region of the cone). For every event in space-time, there is a light cone, and nothing “space like” can communicate with something “time like” without sending waves traveling faster than the wave equation’s propagating speed (commonly called “c”), but any wave traveling faster than “c” would break uniqueness of solutions (information paradoxes). Geometrically, this means that no two places, A and B, in space-time where t_A > t_B can communicate without sending signals traveling faster that the speed of propagation “c” and thus breaking uniqueness, hence no point in the future can speak with a point in the past, and this implies causality.

Adding more space brings even more structure: 3d wave equation “averages out” information, and 2d wave equation solutions lead to saturation of information.

It is remarkable that such a “basic” equation (linear, 1d, second order) can have so many properties, and that such properties go along very well with our experienced reality.
Think of lines of code as parts in a mechanical assembly. Not all parts are the same, obviously. But a design with fewer parts will probably be cheaper and more reliable than a design with more parts.
Nobody with my house key can impersonate me in my house from anywhere in the world without me knowing. The signed and notarized documents involved give me a legal avenue to remove anyone who obtains a key, instead of just abandoning the house and the equity to identity thieves.
Free 4h course on TLS – Transport Layer Security [video]
Over the last few months, I released 30 lessons presenting how TLS allows a client and a server to securely communicate through the Internet to prevent any of the data exchanged from being read or modified by unauthorized parties. What makes TLS truly fascinating is that TLS achieves this feat even if the data is exchanged through the Internet between a client and a server that have never met before.

TLS achieves this feat by authenticating the client and the server, and by having the client and the server exchange a master secret, from which cryptographic keys can be derived that then allow for the encryption and authentication of the data exchanged between the client and the server.

This course first explains how all this really works within TLS, and then proceeds to a discussion of various miscellaneous TLS topics that will ensure that everyone that completes this course will be well equipped to securely use TLS within various contexts of application.
The software is in some hardware. The hardware can be seen and removed, and can be known when it's removed.

A chemical can't be seen, and can't be removed.

And even if the hardware is super entwined with the building, making it hard to remove, such as tied in with the HVAC system, there likely will be some toggle switch to turn off facial recognition. There's no toggle switch to remove chemicals.

They are friendly and professional - unless you are a teenage boy that they can make fun of behind their back, or an old person that no one cares about.

This has the expectation that police wouldn't just pressure the clerk to do it themselves. The clerk says they'll forward it to corporate, the policeman tells him not to bother and hints that, you know, he is the one with the power here. How many people would ignore that and still do the bureaucratic procedure? Especially if the cop says it won't get back to legal and they'd be helping out on a case?

What is worse about the weight? Are you trying to lift your vehicles? There are trade offs to weight, but I’m not sure it’s worse.

Price is worse if you ignore total cost of ownership… otherwise price is generally better. (Ie model 3 is cheaper than Corolla)

I think you need to drive a Tesla they corner extremely well.

Time to refuel… but you plug it in at night so you don’t need to refuel, I’d call this a trade off not better or worse.

This is definitely one of the possible approaches, which is being studied too. As other commenters mentioned, this would be much harder technically and much more expensive than "nuking", but in some particular scenarios (I think when an asteroid is very loose and easy to break into large parts) this approach has some advantages.

Of all the approaches I've read about the coolest in my mind is to paint a large part of the asteroid surface with high-albedo paint, thus using Yarkovsky effect to alter the orbit. This however requires a lot of paint!

Simple: he's crushed because he had a dream of going there - he wasn't framing it as "I'm better than everyone else." As I mentioned, it is his dream running into reality. So saying "not being in the 0.1% as a teenager is tacky" is not the right framing because he wasn't thinking about it that way - he just had a dream and now realizes how difficult (and unlikely) it is.
I think it's a distinction without a difference. In this context, where this is no pending legal proceeding, a subpoena is just a request with no legal authority. The function of a real subpoena is to punish the recipient for failing to respond (i.e. held in contempt of court), because the request is made on behalf of the court and the court has the authority to compel production. Here, where there's no court case it's not really possible to have a real subpoena. I could equally issue a subpoena in the authority of my own name, and it would have just as much power (none).

Is it the landlord's job to prevent a tenant from using facial recognition in the tenant's area of the building? I think the tenant is in charge of putting up the disclaimer if the tenant does that.

As for facial recognition in common areas, the landlord can put a clause in the lease agreement requiring tenants not to do that.

If disclaimers are required for facial recognition and a UPS driver has a facial recognition bodycam, I assume it'll be the UPS driver that needs the disclaimer, not every place the UPS driver visits.
