> It's misleading to claim that the conviction keeps them from being hired rather than the drug use.

If I'm understanding you correctly, you're arguing that a drug user is less employable (perhaps because you believe drug users are untrustworthy or unreliable), and this is the reason they aren't hired.

But a conviction for a drug crime years ago does not mean someone is a drug user today. It is the conviction, not drug use, keeping them from being hired. A drug test would make more sense if you want to determine whether someone is a current drug user.

And besides, without the conviction you may be unaware of their drug use. If someone has a drug habit, but nobody can tell, what exactly is the problem? There are plenty of "functioning alcoholics" in the workforce.

> However, the role of software here must not be minimized.

No argument that the software bears fault, too.

However, when you accuse someone of stealing money, you should have to prove that they stole the money. This isn't some invisible crime. There should need to be evidence that the stolen money went into their account, got spent to buy something, got pulled from the till on camera, got transferred to Bitcoin--something.

The fact that all these people got convicted with no evidence that the money was ever in their possession is a gigantic legal problem.
Do you mean that as written? I'd find that extremely surprising, and would in my mind, violate all sorts of safety assumptions, primarily that deref'ing NULL traps¹.

E.g., I am pretty sure Go relies on some of the behavior described here: that the 0 page is unmapped, and that accesses will trap. This is why Go code will sometimes SIGSEGV despite being an almost memory-safe language: Go is explicitly depending on that trap (and it permits Go, in those cases, to elide a validity check). (Vs. some memory accesses will incur a bounds check & panic, if Go cannot determine that they will definitely land in the first page; Go there must emit the validity check, and failing it is a panic, instead of a SIGSEGV.)

IIRC, Linux doesn't permit at least unprivileged processes to map address 0, I believe. (Although I can't find a source right now for that.)

¹Yes, in most languages this is UB … but what I'm saying is that having it trap makes errors — usually security errors — obvious & fail, instead of really letting the UB just do whatever and really going off into "it's really undefined now" territory.
4GB ought to be enough for anybody.
2+2=4 is arbitrary. Humans decided base 10 makes sense because we have ten fingers. It's arbitrary in the sense that it's something we picked out of convenience. Base 10 isn't some real thing existing in reality that you can touch or sense. Language is also arbitrary. Humans came up with it! Wasn't like Proto-Indo-European was something objective and real that we discovered. We settled on it out of convenience and necessity.

If someone is allergic to peanuts, they could definitely say it's poison. Categories aren't objective.

> calling it AI seems a little disingenuous.

Why? It's been done for a long time. The whole field has been referred to as AI for decades, nobody was standing up in my lectures saying "No! SVMs aren't AI!".

> It doesn't bode well for reporting if journalists aren't zeroed in on this problem of de-jargonizing tech reporting in the first place, and this leaves them vulnerable to essentially marketing ploys that inherently misrepresent the capabilities of the software.

Referring to the things used here as AI is entirely consistent with how I've seen the term used dating back beyond when people would ask me if AI was to do with aliens. Simpler things have been called AI in the public sphere too, so it's not a new thing being sprung on people. I don't think people have generally been confused by a camera that says it has AI thinking it's sentient.
>This is not the correct view. Every year SCOTUS passes on many cases they think are worthy but not worthy enough to justify taking up the court's limited time. It can't just be a "worthy" case.

This seems circular. your last sentence IS what constitutes a worthy case (for the SCOTUS)
Vision-only is very very very far behind other techniques. Cruise (the self driving company, not OP) was killed by an overzealous CEO, not by their chosen technique. Waymo drives great in SF.

If so I think it is unethical and false advertising to have a feature removed from something someone already owns.

I'm happy with SCO. That is, I am happy now that registers stopped monitoring the bagging area for weight. That was a miserable disaster every trip. Like when I'd buy 50lb bags of cat litter and cases of water.

Grocery stores (I can afford) stopped the weighing and checkout is a good experience. I take packed carts thru SCO because that's usually faster than the cashiers.
As an outsider, I'm pretty sure almost everyone has always considered model trains boring. That's always been the joke. This isn't anything new. You can't blame social media for this.

> if it's simply because Apple is HQ in CA, couldn't Apple simply move it's HQ (on paper) to another US state (like Texas, where a lot of other tech companies have moved HQs)

But nope! Apple Inc is registered in California. Go figure. For all the Irish tax shenanigans, they're still registered in California!
I just feel like maybe 20 years ago people thought the hardware was the hardware and all the security issues were inevitably to be found in software. I mean, I know that people who work with hardware for a living always say that hardware has always been shit, but it really does feel now like everything is a security vulnerability, in a way that people weren’t looking for previously. Then again, maybe they were, and I just wasn’t paying attention. Ah, to be young and carefree again.
It used to be better. When I first lived in the UK, going on thirty years ago, it was brilliant. Even fifteen years ago both NHS and private were head and shoulders (and more) better than the US (I have intimate experience with both sadly).

The deliberate destruction, in the name of profit, of the NHS across the last decade makes me more angry than just about anything anywhere.

This was proven by the woman who couldn’t get an abortion despite her fetus having a terminal defect. After courts initially ruled she could get one, the Texas AG fought it and threatened to prosecute any doctor who did it, and was able to overturn the ruling.

In practice, Texas doesn’t allow abortions period. Guidelines are ambiguous and the AG will prosecute so doctors risk jail and losing their career.

You can't do that easily as devices can be attached, detached or reattached dynamically whilst the VM is running and when it is shut down.

In lieu of the hardware / VM support for device trees, with the existing design, the kernel has to probe each device upon every boot.

I genuinely want you to have everything too, including great relationships. Good luck.

These are excerpts from a song by Lucinda Williams. I think of it sometimes in life, especially when people seem to demand that life and relationships be a lonely struggle for survival. I read that it was written for a friend of Williams who committed suicide.

The breath from your own lips

A sweet and tender kiss

JEP Draft: Deprecate memory-access methods in sun.misc.unsafe for removal
I've actually been thinking recently of the embodiment approach here in the fact that foveated rendering in VR/AR and eye tracking for 3D laptops means there's going to be much more eye tracking data that could feed into ML systems around what humans pay attention to given a paired image.

I'd imagine that data, combined with things like this, could really streamline visual processing, particularly for video.
> You can learn anything you want

Without any quantifier/qualifier, say that "you can learn anything you want" is meaningless.
If you are not disabled (broadly speaking), you can learn to run, where running is a way of continuously moving your body in which for some time no foot is touching the ground (marching/walking = one foot is touching the ground always). But, can you learn to run the 100 m dash in under 12/13/14 seconds?

Sure, anybody can learn to draw, where drawing means moving the ink from pen to paper, but can you draw something that is objectively good? And if yes, how long will it take for someone like me, who has close to no talent for it?

And so on.

8080 asm source can be auto-translated to 8086 but Z80 is an independent extension of the 8080, there's no direct compatibility.
There is no problem with memcpy other than that you can't use a null pointer. You can memcpy zero bytes as long as the pointer is valid. This works in a good many circumstances; just not circumstances where the empty array is represented by not having an address at all.

For instance, say we write a function that rotates an array: it moves the low M bytes to the top of the array, and shuffles the remaining M - N bytes down to the bottom. This function will work fine with the zero byte memmove or memcpy operations in the special case when N == 0, because the pointer will be valid.

Now say we have something like this:

struct buf {
char *ptr;
size_t size;
};

we would like it so that when the size is zero, we don't have an allocated buffer there. But we'd like to support a zero sized memcpy in that case: memcpy(buf->ptr, whatever, 0) or in the other direction likewise.

We now have to check for buf->ptr being buf in the code that deals with resizing.

Here is a snag in the C language related to zero sized arrays. The call malloc(0) is allowed to return a null pointer, or a non-null pointer that can be passed to free.

oops! In the one case, the pointer may not be used with a zero-sized memcpy; in the other case it can.

This also goes for realloc(NULL, 0) which is equivalent to malloc(0).

And, OMG I just noticed ...

In C99, this was valid realloc(ptr, 0) where ptr is a valid, allocated pointer. You could realloc an object to zero.

I'm looking at the April 2023 draft (N3096). It states that realloc(ptr, 0) is undefined behavior.

When did that happen?

As an example of how bad the searchability is nowadays, I’ve been creating and expanding my own knowledge base (something like a personal wiki with links to interesting content I find) for about a year. It seems to work very well despite the effort it takes to keep it organized.
Curious attitude. I’ve always found that the people who have the most “valuable” spare time are the most willing to give some of that to help others - because they understand what true value means - which is nothing at all to do with money and everything to do with connection and community.

But yeah, some people value their spare time in dollar amounts, and they’ll never get beyond a hustle and grind “hourly rate” mindset.
I'm dealing with the exact same issues right now in my project, this post is very enlightening.

> But suppose we want an empty (length zero) slice.

So is there an actual rationale for this? I've written the memory allocator and am in the process of developing the foreign interface. I've been wondering if I should explicitly support zero length allocations. Even asked this a few times here on HN but never got an answer. It seems to be a thing people sort of want but for unknown reasons.

After they published that piece (which was misleading and deeply unethical, not just 'critical', by the way), he wrote this:

> I have no particular call for action. Please don’t cause any trouble for the journalist involved, both because that would be wrong, and because I suspect he did not personally want to write this and was pressured into it as part of the Times’ retaliatory measures against me.

(https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/statement-on-new-york-times...)

Before that, he did ask for public commentary on their plan to reveal his real name; maybe that's what you were thinking of.

(Before your post was edited, it was originally a comment that misrepresented the history of the NY Times piece by claiming he 'sent a flood of internet crazies' at them after they wrote it.)

There's some terrible corporate-ware that runs on Linux and Mac, and the company policy will likely mandate the use of it.
Vision is necessary but lidar and other sensor types are probably going to be a powerful supplement.

2. Cruise is in the corporate penalty box for being dishonest in withholding video data from the state of CA, but that was a stupid PR move. It doesn't tell us anything about the tech, which in fact is strong.

Kagi does offer AI features in their higher subscription tier, including summary, research assistance, and a couple others. Plus I think they have basically a frontend for GPT-4 that uses their search engine for browsing, and they just added vision support to it today.

I'm sure a repair and servicing manual existed, but I haven't found one, or even a mention of one. Even obtaining the mil spec for the CADC was a big effort.

As far as servicing, the official specification is "The computer shall have a reliable life of 1,000 hours with reasonable servicing and shall be designed to have a minimum operating life of 5,000 hours with reasonable servicing and replacement of parts. The computer shall have a mean life of at least 300 hours."
I'm not sure... wasm is an assembly, not a C implementation. It can define what happens if you load from 0 but it doesn't get to define if the C code `*nullptr` actually loads from 0. Whether or not it does is defined by your compiler, which is probably the clang frontend if you're on emscripten. But then again I think there's a clang flag to disable optimizing away reads/writes to nullptr.

Ultra Cruise - Hands free self driving cars almost anywhere

No, this is Ultra Cruise. It was GM’s competitor to Tesla FSD on city streets. Cruise (GM’s L4 robotaxi unit) is different from Super Cruise (L2 hands free highway ADAS) is different from Ultra Cruise.
It does not mean that. The current product is "Super Cruise", which only works on specified highways that have been pre-mapped.

"Ultra Cruise" is, or was going to be, a version of Super Cruise that worked anywhere.
