Love to know your feedback.
I can't prove it, but I know what happened.

Low-level software engineers are all afraid to push the STOP button. They slightly softball their estimates, the impacts of their bugs, etc. Their supervisors soften it up just a bit more before reporting to their management. (This is all done via a byzantine tangle of Excel "project trackers" stored 7 folders deep on various Sharepoint sites.)

At the weekly meeting where the managers update on progress, they do a little bit more nerfing of the seriousness. They have faith the dates will be met, so all Criticals become Majors or even Minors. Majors become Minor or Warning.

Someone at the very top will get this shipped. They have no time to hear about failures, they want only Solutions. There are no Problems, only Opportunities. The wider employee base gets to attend monthly meetings with Powerpoints that show how "We're updating our Culture for a new Paradigm". What they take away from these meetings is to keep your head down and don't get in the way of The Paradigm Shift.

Only when the rubber meets the road (literally!) is all this exposed.

If giving truck owners the ability to modify their own software is against the law, then I'd rather have emissions laws repealed entirely.
> I saw Israel had already accidentally shot their own hostages who managed to escape Hamas.

For me, the most tragic aspect is that those three hostages where gunned down while shirtless, in civilian pants, waving white flags, because they were mistaken for three shirtless Palestinian civilians, trying to surrender waving white flags. The execution wouldn't be justified in either case, and is damning evidence of the treatment Israeli forces give Palestinian civilians.
This is just getting sad now.

To repeat: More than one engineer made a point of saying the issue had nothing to do with damage caused by customers.
So instead of jitting main they should do something like

@jax.jit
@jax.vmap
def main(...

?
The intersting part of this is to find where the line gets blurry. For instance is it ok for legitimate Apple ID owners (e.g. people who actually own an iPhone) to access iMessage through a third party spoofing their devices.

I'd say yes, even if Apple can't separate them from the other problematic accesses.
"creatively misinterpreted"

It's not a misinterpretation to take the meaning of the phrase as it's stated and understood.

That's like saying "blood and soil" doesn't mean what it means. Or Intifada. "Oh don't be silly... they don't REALLY mean that."

They absolutely mean it.

You're being disingenuous to deny the commonly understood meaning of a clearly genocidal phrase while defending it.

Then you complain of others being "genocidal/racist". classic.
Nice find. What would happen to the 1st circuit, isn't it still a parallel circuit?
The argument:

Rich people control the world.

Rich people own the media.

Rich people run boards.

Rich people built up cults of personality. Influencers to lend credibility for their long terms plans.

Rich people then pick a rich friend or ‘make’ a new friend, and then promote their friend.

Rich people’s friends typically after their role is done are found to be sociopaths and liars and frauds.

But this is OK because remember Rich people control the media.

Not rich people are going to be living in the shit society that Rich people are planning for not rich people. AI is to play big role.

Now, ask any further question, we all know you are smart so this confusion of yours is due to your world model.

Let’s discuss your world model.

Given that quite simple classes of vulnerabilities are endemic to all other major languages, no, it's not "manifestly false". The state of software safety really is bad enough that "all major languages that aren't Rust are unsafe" is plausible.

We're really very good at documenting vulnerabilities; the mere documentation of vulnerabilities is itself a 9-figure industry. So: cough up the examples. I can't think of any, so that's where I'm setting the bar for you.

A reminder that memory corruption bugs in FFI-bound libraries doesn't count --- Rust has plenty of those --- and neither do deserialization vulnerabilities, which were discussed upthread. It also doesn't matter if a condition makes it unsafe to run attacker-controlled code in a shared runtime; nobody does that (with native languages; they try, with Javascript, and it has been a disaster). You're looking for vulnerabilities that are widely exploited and intrinsic to a memory-safe language that isn't Rust. Not to a library, but to the language.
Could be about the modern world. The same issues, just as relevant today.

Good job. Give it a try. Look into the server.py of realtime-txt2img to change the model if you want to generate something other than anime. Pointing it to say https://huggingface.co/runwayml/stable-diffusion-v1-5 works fine.

The results are genuinely fast. Not great, but fast. If you change to the SDXL via LCM-LoRA https://huggingface.co/latent-consistency you may get better stuff but that's when it's going to get difficult and you'll start to run into those mysterious crashes I talked about that require, you know, actual work.

Never even heard of this guy despite living in New York. Tuned out last couple elections. I think it’s better we all move on from this kind of super-divisive rhetoric because eight years later, nobody’s listening. It’s not moving the country forward.

Looks like he’s a reservist in the Army—I trust their disciplinary process.

I just don’t see how any of this is relevant to the issue of noncompetes in New York. I find the Governor’s position very reasonable for the industries in this state—above a certain level, people can negotiate for themselves.
Acronyms have different meanings in different domains.

Within the domain of vulnerability research, SRE commonly refers to software reverse engineering.
How would guidance systems increase the destruction? If anything, history has shown that precision weapons tend to reduce civilian casualties - there isn't much of a point building a single precision guided missile, instead of 100 imprecise dumb rockets, when your goal is terror bombing (the calculus is slightly different for bombs, however).

> Even if Israel could limit the damage in the long term, it doesn't seem politically viable to just tolerate repeated attacks with no response. So I think it's inevitable that Israel will have to remove Hamas from power, no matter the geopolitical cost.

This is an odd gripe. Israel is perpetrating repeated attacks in the West Bank, every single day, and the Palestinian Authority as well as the vast majority of Palestinians in the West Bank have been tolerating repeated attacks for decades now. In fact, it is perfectly possible to tolerate repeated attacks with limited response, and there are many examples of countries tolerating low-impact attacks for a very long time with little response.

Preventing Hamas or a Hamas-like group from existing is not possible as a matter of reality, not as a matter of geopolitical cost. Israel already tried the whole occupation thing, and it only meant more attacks. The only way to remove Hamas from power, without them being replaced by not-Hamas-in-name-only, is to convince Gazans, for a second time, that peaceful coexistence is possible, and to actually give it a shot this time.
In the incoming world of AI generated garbage content, Meta decided to kill feeds from your friends and pages you follow. That is "great" strategic planning.
The upper middle class controls the world.

Control of boards doesn't matter.

Yes, and it's absolutely still their platform and their rules. And people also have every right to criticize that platform and its rules, as they're doing. What Meta is doing is wrong, but it should emphatically not be illegal.

Seems like the benchmarking code is a small script and what you are suggesting might be a few lines of code. Might be worthwhile to take a stab and see if there is a difference.
Damn, thanks for pointing that out. That's way more than an acceptable number of errors for a book like this, imo.
It's actually surprising to me just how differently an engine can perform with different tuning. The ECU can control all sorts of parameters depending on the engine. Things like fuel/air mix, ignition timing, valve timing, shutting down some cylinders, skipping ignition cycles, a lot more than you'd ever expect.

You can tune an engine to sound like a braap braap muscle car or have it be nearly silent. You can burn all your fuel to get a few more horses or blow black smoke, or you can tune it to consume no fuel, emit nothing, and produce nearly no torque.

Plenty of people tune their engines with aftermarket kit and/or software. There are even simple plug and play kits of extremely dubious quality any average Joe can install.

What these defeat devices do is detect the testing equipment or conditions and tunes the engine in a way that meets requirements. Once the vehicle is out of testing, it reverts to the factory tuning which usually gives more power at the cost of illegally high emissions.

That's really all it is, there's not too much magic involved. Just simple cheating.
I enjoyed the breadth of this discussion.
More importantly for average users, there are almost no flagships at all that take SD cards.

What was the struggle? If it’s performance doesn’t that contradict your earlier statement?

Genuinely interested in what the issue was, not trying to be a pedant
Checks and balances are important, but half of all bills failing to make it through the governor's office is enough to raise an eyebrow even for someone who's a fan of checks and balances.

The NY governor just vetoed more bills in a single sitting than all of George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Donald Trump, and Joe Biden did in their full terms combined. That's not just checks and balances, there's something very wrong there.
Certainly, so do you have examples of what I should be watching out for? (Preferably with links)
Thats putting the carriage before the horse. How did the valuation get there, particularly when it did it before M$off, GOOG, etc?

It was the team. Who put the team together?

We will never know if OpenAI would have succeeded w/o SA. That's unfalsifiable. But they got to a life changing equity because the CEO helped get it there.

My point: SA was likely putting the scaffolding of a 2nd home run in place, right as the board got scared of being on 3rd base going for the run.

And therein lies the problem. The BoD was not playing the long game.
Good/Bad is too simplistic.

It seemed like the book was trying to bring back some nuance, that 'reason' didn't solve everything like the thinkers of the time thought it would.

So it is valuable to look back and see how the rise of 'reason' still leaves some gaps that humans can't seem to get over. And is pretty relevant to todays rise of nationalism and corporate wars (US government supporting dictators for business gains, is not unlike British Colonies draining resources). Like, we are repeating some history here, so lets go back and see how that worked out.

You're taking Israeli intent at face value. Anyone paying attention to the discourse in Israeli society and amongst their leadership class will understand that this is a war against the Palestinian people.They have been quite open about destroying systems of life to create a self-sustaining humanitarian catastrophe that will force the relocation of Gazans to the Sinai. And the virtual certainty of eye-watering civilian casualties is baked into their rules of engagement. Kill 300 people to get one Hamas fighter? Sure! They have been coddled and shielded by the United States to the point where they genuinely don't seem to understand that this is a war crime.

Legacy auto are almost all terrible at software. Tesla invented the softward defined vehicle (software controls almost everything, updates happen automatically over the air, software can add new features and they do it constantly, almost monthly). Ford, GM, VW, several Japanese brands like Toyota have all failed to make great software. With EVs more and more features (almost everything) is controlled by software. And legacy auto is terrible at it.

Tesla & Rivian have good ui, updates over the air. Tesla has a great 10 year history. Rivian had a good one year history until they made an extremely terrible update that made some people's cars undriveable. I don't recall Tesla ever having anything that bad. They lost their great reputation. Rivian needs at least a few years of continuing updates to recover their previously great rep.

Back to legacy auto. The failures of the blazer ev are apparent to anyone who uses one. Customers have been reporting problems with the blazer ev and other ultium cars for months on places like reddit group r/electricvehicles. The past week or 2 there have been a least a couple dozen reviews where gm sent out the cars to be evaluated in official reviews. And it doesn't seem like many or maybe any of them worked out well. This is a collosal failure of a huge auto company. The failures must have been apparent to everyone working there.

This is way too long already, I'm not going to go into vw software updates that take so long they were afraid it would run out the 12v battery system and brick the car (most all evs have a 12v battery that recharges from the big battery, but during os updates for safety it only runs on the 12v "starter"/utility battery).

I think causality is probably the other way around, i.e. we keep starting over because the problem is hard. There's a back-and-forth lurch that happens when people discover that yet again, they're caught in a complexity net, have a strong it-shouldn't-have-to-be-this-complicated feeling, and set out to build tools that will make the problem easier in general. Often it's relatively new programmers running through this cycle, who perhaps don't realize (yet) how many times this lurch has already taken place, or how they may be repeating the approach of a previous 'generation'. (That's not a cricitism—it's the cycle of life of the software business, and has been going on since long before most of us showed up.) I do think there's something about UI that lends itself particularly to this phenomenon. Perhaps its statefulness, as someone else said already.
Related tangentially perhaps, but I find this to be a particularly helpful application of things like ChatGPT. Instead of asking it to give me the answer, I tell it what I’m trying to do and ask it to ask me questions about it. It’s great for gathering thoughts for writing, and I’ve been using it a little to try to help me think through software problems more quickly.

It’s very good at asking “dumb” (ew) or at least simple, building-block questions, and it almost always ends up asking me about something I hadn’t considered that ends up contributing to what I’d have done without the machine. It’s also kind of fun.

In service of answering your question anyway. I'm a hardware product design engineer. I can take ownership over an entire complex piece of hardware (medical device, IT product, etc) and architect it, design it mechanically, electrically and do the systems engineering. I'm able to deliver entire complex hardware products that work well (more than well), can be mass manufactured, and meet cost targets. I've designed surgical robotics systems, artificial hearts and other class III implanted devices, stuff in the disney parks, times square and even the Smithsonian.
