Right, hence "closest to" in my description. Typescript's role ends at compile time and it can't/won't stop bad actors at runtime. Typescript tries to make it easier for good actors to do the right thing more of the time.

That said, the other benefit to using private symbols like this is that they are also easy to enforce at runtime, because symbol visibility is enforced at runtime (you can't create the same signal by hand somewhere else). It can be as easy as something like:

console.assert(id.__brand__ === FooIdBrand)

(That still won't stop the determined hacker in the console dev tools, if they can see a symbol they can create a reference to it, defense in depth will always be a thing.)

"What is a good way to die?" is a very good question to ask, while you're still healthy enough to have some input into the situation personally.

Recall there was a fad for "DNR orders" (Do Not Resuscitate) a while back? Some folks even got "DNR" tattoos.

Anybody ever see one honored? Or did they get the whole family in the ICU around the person, and make them all talk to the person about how "we're not ready to lose you" and get that order rescinded, possibly against the wishes of the patient?

fear the good intentions of loved ones at life end; they'll tell themselves that extending suffering (for everyone) is better than making a clean end.

Not according to the data. There is absolutely no period where general college attainment has shown to improve mobility when as compared to equivalent people without college attainment.

What the data does show is a tendency for those with the capability to successfully complete college to have greater mobility when as compared to dissimilar people (i.e. those hindered by disabilities), but it is faulty to attribute that to college. Clearly it is the life challenges that hold people back. It is not the lack of a degree that keeps the down syndrome kid from being considered 'management material'.

There is a stronger case to be made for high school attainment, but even that is no doubt confounded by the rise of industrialization showing up at the same time, providing new mobility opportunities. The meaningful gains in high school attainment we have seen over the last 20 years have not translated to improved mobility for that subset of the population.

> I would in fact argue that the trend, in "applied" fields, of justifying the importance of a piece of work by pointing out that a lot of people are doing similar work is in fact self-fulfilling.

There is one filter on this, though: you have to get funding for the work, which is a different process than getting a paper accepted. There is of course some overlap, as "people are working on this so it must be important" can be useful in arguing for funding, but funders at least potentially have other criteria in play too.

I was following the conversation. You seemed to be implying that social media restriction was unnecessary.

If you weren't, then I think you were being a bit pedantic, because I don't think the person you were replying to was literally suggesting that millions of smoking deaths were equivalently bad to social media. Context matters, and the context of the conversation is legal restriction of social media.

Either way, feel free to ignore my comment if it bothers you.

This article is about Adobe getting out of this business. I'd think if they were "rushing to implement" they'd keep the existing product around and either integrate things into it or wait to kill it until they have a replacement. Also, while it's not perfect, there tends to be a fair amount of firewalling around that sort of due diligence to keep an acquirer from just ripping everything off with inside information gained in the process.

Some random examples...

When you cross DST switchovers, for example, you may magically gain or lose an hour. A naive milliseconds calculation will miss that. It gets worse because DST in a country isn't a static thing either, but will change with the laws over time. So over decades, you need to have several lookup tables.

And people are ambiguous. Is January 31 plus 1 month the end of February or the beginning of March? What about during a leap year?

And a "day" isn't necessarily 24 hours (because of DST, again). Humans doing day math across those boundaries will just ignore (or really, never think about) the missing or gained hours, but computers have to explicitly account for it.

Then once you throw in different time zones it gets even crazier, especially for the half hour and 45 minute zones.

It's okay to store datetimes in epoch milliseconds (ideally with a separate field for the time zone, not just offset, which holds less information). But you can't easily/correctly do math on that without more specific instructions and cultural/locale adjustments.
I don't love this model. It feels so censorable and state-adjacent. All states need to do is convince whoever controls the satellites to accept their terms. It's such a small number of points of failure.

The mesh model, where every rooftop is a node routing encrypted traffic to neighbors, feels much more sustainable / forward-looking to me.
I use old reddit with an extension that forces it and don't even know what unreviewed subreddits are.
Sorry, what?

It's extremely true in physics. I've published in (good) physics journals.

Computational papers: Authors leave out details because they don't want to give up the goose that lays the golden eggs. They broadly describe the technique, ("solve this PDE computationally"), and anyone who wants to replicate has to craft his/her own solution. If they fail to replicate, the authors just say "your simulation was poor and probably numerically unstable".

This was the norm.

Experimental papers: Same thing. Experimentalists are inventors. They don't buy off the shelf equipment - they build their own. They don't provide details of how they built it in their papers.

At conferences, PIs would openly discuss whether they "believed" a highly cited paper. When I was a new grad student, this troubled me. Why should belief play a role? Just replicate it! A year later: "Oh, of course these studies can't be replicated."

It's one reason I left academia. I was doing theoretical/computational physics, but the whole game reminded me of English literature: The value of your work was always seen with subjective eyes. Your paper could be rejected simply because the reviewer doesn't "believe" it.
I think it's the worst part, because it's completely inscrutable. Ask for the same thing in different wording and get a different response. Ask for a similar thing and get stonewalled. A config file has structure which you can (in theory) learn perfectly from documentation or even from your IDE while writing the file. None of that is true of asking in plain English.

I feel in some ways current LLMs are making technology more arcane. Which is why people who have the time are having a blast figuring out all the secret incantations that get the LLM to give you what you want.
I couldn't find any information but does this use some kind of LLM to derive the combinations from? It makes a request to the backend every time you combine items which sometimes takes >500ms, and also supports some really wild combinations that I highly doubt someone has taken the time to come up with. It would also explain why the icons are emoji's, it would be fairly trivial to ask ChatGPT to give you the result of Fire + Water and an accompanying emoji.

It’s funny you say this when they’ve both failed jepsen tests. And by fail, I mean there are scenarios where they do not behave as intended - this is not to suggest either are broken inherently.

What I really want to know is how fly.io has recruited such talent. @tptacek (who wrote this article), @chrismccord (creator of elixir Phoenix/Liveview), and others.

Very impressive, but also slightly worrying since some parts of fly.io have such terrible DX/documentation. I've only recently started using them, but the documentation around billing and databases is shockingly bad for a team that is clearly so deeply stacked.
There are Transaction Coordinators that will allow you to span transactions across multiple systems - databases, OR MQ Brokers.

This means you can begin a DB transaction, enlist the MQ GET operation, and then commit or rollback the whole lot. It obviously slows things down a tad, but ensures consistency across all actors.

> I think the better questions are: did Adobe _need_ Figma? (We'll see...) and why did Adobe overpay by so much?

Because Figma would have undoubtedly rejected at or near market rates. And regulators were already iffy. Being overly generous, if it still will pay off for you in the end, is a good way to grease a lot of wheels.

The best analogy is the person who offers to pay 25k over asking (in a market where that is abnormal) on a house they definitely want to bypass the whole secondary negotiation process.

I like Biscuits, wrote about them before, and recorded a podcast episode with Geoffroy Couprie about them†.

The short answers:

* When we started working on this design, there was still some uncertainty about the elliptic curve chaining construction (as in: they hadn't, or maybe had just started to, work out which one they were going to use).

* We do a lot of verifications, and the prospect of running lots of 25519 computations every time we have to check a token was daunting; by comparison, HMAC is essentially "free".

* I'm not especially scared of Ed25519, but asymmetric signature cryptography is much more complex than computing a MAC. Like I said in the post, one of the great charms of Macaroons is how much mileage it gets out of a construction that everyone understands, and that doesn't have sharp edges.

* Geoffroy sold me on the value of using a logic language to express caveats, but that was much more complicated than what we felt we needed. Another charm of Macaroons is that they're rigidly coherent; just an unordered collection of true/false predicates, loop over them and if any fail reject the request. I feel safe expressing things with Macaroon caveats --- not in the sense of "the token implementation doesn't have bugs", I'm sure Biscuit's Datalog is fine, but rather in the "I'm not going to mess this up as a user" sense.

* We needed implementations in a bunch of different languages. Biscuits have them, but owning the implementation ourselves derisked things for us. We could have owned an implementation of Biscuits, but I'm not smart enough to do that well.

I 100% agree. Though even if those things were more reasonably priced, they would still be more expensive for people with kids. You do need some more space with kids to maintain the same standard of living, and most people prefer easier access to green space (yard and/or close by parks) when they have kids.

That's why huge subsidies to reach financial parity are probably necessary.

This entire thread is spawned from an article that is rebutting simulation theory, it clearly is a hypothesis that creates interest.

That could be done for sure.

I think it would require a bit of “opsec” type thinking on the part of managers, maybe? If you always take meetings in your office, it is pretty easy to close the door discreetly.

If you book a conference room for one-on-one meetings, you have to do all your one-on-one meetings in the conference room. Otherwise, obviously, booking the conference room implies negative feedback. And if someone wants to do an impromptu talk that goes in a confidential direction, there’s some impedance added… none of this is to say it is impossible or unworkable, but it seems easier to just give everyone a door.

According to a tweet, this thing is actually using LLaMA II[0]. I guess he probably caches results so it doesn't recompute each time, but as you go further you start finding combinations that are apparently novel and take quite a while to generate (or fail completely).

I am happy for you that you live in the blissful ignorance of thinking checks aren't a thing in Germany. You will curse the day you discover you're wrong.

They are exceptionally rare, to the point where many people have never seen one and fintech/neobanks simply don't support them at all. Unfortunately, some organizations/businesses do use them. They're particularly popular when some entity is required to pay you, knows your postal address, doesn't know your bank account, and doesn't care about your satisfaction with them. They just mail you a check and are done with it, making it your problem. As a bonus, they have a good chance of not having to actually pay you because you don't want to deal with the check or forget.

Of course, there is no electronic deposit either.

And while I'm talking about German companies above, US companies of course absolutely love doing this for the same reasons, meaning you have a foreign, USD denominated check. Hopping on a flight to New York and going to one of these check cashing places might be the easiest way to cash these, and could be comparable in cost to trying to do it locally.
I'm more interested in having an option to remove all tiktok-like short video suggestions from Facebook, Youtube and Instagram apps. It's easy in the browser but not on my phone.

Decades past I was 100% with you. Government seemed to just accrue and accumulate to me, qawas rarely revised. I hungered for a government that can iterate & experiment., can reassess.

Today it feels like there are way more people opposed to governance & laws than at any point in the living past. That terrifies me. Making laws feels harder; Hastert Rule was just the start of non-cooperstion it felt like, & there is now broad unwillingness to legislate reasonably.

And then we get to the court system, where 5th District Court of Appeals & others seem to take rampant delight in pushing over years of precedent to de-govern and disempower the government. All it takes is one judge to unmake decades of law.

YouTube was bought mainly because Google Video was failing as a platform. About the only thing it ever offered over YouTube were longform lectures and presentations. Combining the two platforms (e.g. allowing longer videos but using YouTube's social interface) just made YouTube better.
In a simulation probability must be itself simulated. With enough simulations the actuality of an accurate version of probability being simulated is low. There are a million different ways and axioms we can use to change and modify probability in a simulation. Thus every reality could have a different probability and you cannot rely on probability to make your conclusions.

Therefore we cannot make any conclusion here about simulations.
