That’s fantastic. I propose a new unit, big gulps per American place, in the spirit of the other great American units, “large boulder” and “small boulder”:

- One Big Gulp for every Kansan is one Olympic sized swimming pool

- One Super Big Gulp for every Texan is about one Exxon Valdez oil spill

- 1776 Big Gulps for every American, times a thousand Americas, is almost exactly the annual flow of our own beautiful Mississippi River. If that doesn’t bring a patriotic tear to your eye I don’t know what will.

> Subresource integrity hash checks are supposed to let you pin a particular version of a webpage / webapp

I dont think that is true. Its called subresource integrity not resource integrity. I don't think pinning a specific top level resource was ever part of the goal.

> but the W3C managed to not let SRI work on bookmarks. If you could bookmark a specific version of a url with SRI, that would make so many problems go away.

I don't really think this makes sense in the context of how web browsers currently work. Are you proposing that users just unilateraly pin versions of websites?

I won't lie, straight-up prose is much slower. I can just about break 120 wpm with a full QWERTY whereas I can only do roughly 40-45 single-handed. Typing passwords sucks.

The big 'however' here is coding. I also have a one-handed mouse from Elecom. Not switching between mouse and keyboard to navigate, combined with macros being less strain (basically no hand travel and sticky meta keys) means I'm faster editing code to the point I just eat the prose cost (or use my phone keyboard/dictation to compose longer prose).
I don’t want to post a specific issue without doxxing myself but you can browse through the open issues on GitHub to find some.

To add more anecdata: C1 has all of my accounts from savings, checking, and two CC's. I've never had a problem. Their customer support has always helped.

That being said, all my eggs in one basket is terrible (though instant transfers + 4.35% savings is great - I keep about $30 in my checking and transfer over whenever a charge will go through, and thus maximize my interest gained!)
I have a hard time being scared that we're not going to be able to make enough weapon systems because we started making heat pumps. Industry isn't zero sum; investment can create jobs. Even if that weren't the case, I still would not be quaking in my boots.

I agree there is a risk of favoritism. Still, I think the consumer benefit is worth the risk. Ideally in my view, the government can set some base standards like they do with EV batteries and tax credits. And over time they can raise the bar on requirements, on efficiency and reliability and install cost requirements.

Third, the money is coming from the Defense Spending Act, but it's not like companies have to be paid up gold star members of the defense industry consortium to play here. Defense Production Act. I think the GAO has a pretty good review of what happened with emergency Defense Production Act spending under COVID, and it doesn't give me fear at all that this is some crazy Military Industrial Congressional Complex boondogle. It makes me feel like mostly this stuff works fine & is well done, and agencies are tuning things responsibly. https://www.gao.gov/assets/gao-22-105380.pdf

This is $63m spending. Being afraid of this level of spending feels absurd to me. I cannot imagine being against some basic government investment in trying to do better in a key sector like this. I have faith we'll find and do great things with some of this money, and set a path that will keep yielding improvements in American's lives. I wish we weren't all so afraid of this shit.

In Britain at least, taxes were levied on engine horsepower which at various times were calculated by piston stroke or cylinder diameter. Hence many long-stroke narrow cylinder engine designs.
> To avoid complication, it's simpler to just use "change" and understand that there are variables and data.

If you're just talking about Erlang, sure. But as soon as you're comparing languages to each other (which you are) then you have to use the precise terminology if you don't want to confuse people. You can complain about the need for the terminology, and you're certainly welcome to prefer the language that doesn't allow rebinding, but that doesn't actually make the terminology unnecessary.
> since vim's visual modes always extend

Certainly an interesting point! Maybe this'll be addressed better once nvim adds multiple cursors (it's on the roadmap).

Though I've never found this to be annoying, or felt I really wanted multiple cursors while doing something; maybe I'm inexperienced with using them. For complex/wide-ranging edits I usually record an edit action at a particular instance of what I wanna change as a macro and generalize that if necessary by composing it with more macros, instead of editing everywhere at once in one fell swoop. I think it's just a different way of going about it (which happens to work more intuitively for me).

> Discover is accepted by, what, two retailers?

Discover acceptance is near-universal (at least in the US) as of the late 2000s/early 2010s. After they won a major lawsuit against Visa/Mastercard in the early 2000s for their exclusionary policies, acceptance rolled out widely and the memes about the card are mostly a thing of the past.

I've used a Discover card for 99.9% of purchases with extensive travel across the US for the past 15 years or so. Very occasionally a place won't accept it, but it's become a rather surprising thing to encounter.

At my first job out of college in 1985 I worked for a unknown, unsuccessful mainframe company. I started a TODO.TXT file when I arrived; when I left a year later I put my TODO.TXT (along with ADDRESS.TXT, DATES.TXT) on a 5.25" floppy and took it with me to the next company, and the next, and the next. I didn't buy my own computer until 1997, and those files finally made it to a machine I own and control. Those files have been in continuous use for 39 years. TODO.TXT's icon is the upper left icon on my desktop and I view and edit it multiple times a day.

I now have 46 .txt files for managing things, where each one pertains to some particular topic: food, music, travel, a website, etc. All are listed in my main TODO.TXT and since I use vim, I can just move the cursor on top of any of the files and type "gf" to jump to that other file. When I'm done, I hit Ctrl-O to jump back to the original file. It is hypertext without the html.
Eh, not really. Last I tried these, the mouse was able to move the cursor, and that was about it.
I used to get this from forums and chat rooms and can echo the sentiment that Twitch can have similar community.

The important thing is just that every time you show up, some of the same people are there and there is room to talk to them. Also one of the biggest downsides to matchmaking in games was it removed that aspect of it, which has destroyed the community aspect of a lot of games.

> [S]ome may recall the Xerox debacle about 10 years, when it turned out copiers were helpfully "optimizing" images by replacing digits with others in invoices, architectural drawings, etc.

This is not even AI. JBIG2 allows a reuse of once-decoded image patches because it's quite reasonable for bi-level images like fax documents. It is true that similar glyphs may be incorrectly groupped into the same patch, but such error is not specific to patch-based compression methods (quantization can often lead to the same result). The actual culprit was Xerox's bad implementation of JBIG2 that incorrectly merged too many glyphs into the same patch.

I think it's fair to be impressed with Sora as the next stage of AI video, yet not be too surprised or consider it some insurmountable leap from the public pieces we've seen of AI video up to this point. We've always been just a couple papers away, seeking a good consistency modelling step - now we've got it. Amazing and viscerally chilling - seeing the net effect - but let's not be intimidated so easily or prop these guys up as gods just for being a bit ahead of the obviously-accelerating curve. Anyone tracking this stuff had a very strong prediction of good AI video within a year - two max. This was a context size increase and overall impressive quality pass reaching a new milestone, but the bones were there.

In recent years ML has completely changed our view of what's possible with computer vision.

``Increasing scale delivers better results''

This is true for computer vision.

``The kinds of computations we want to run and the hardware on which we run them is changing dramatically''

Optimizations on operations for computer vision isn't exactly dramatic change. Who is We?

I think gsl::Owner is related with RAII.

The difference with cake ownership and RAII , is that with C++ RAII, the destructor is unconditionally called at end of scope.
Then flow analysis is not required in RAII.

Cake requires flow analysis because "destructor" is not unconditionally called.

When the compiler can see that the owner is not owning a object (because the pointer is null for instance) then the "destructor" is not necessary.

To understand the difference.

With flow analysis (how it works today)

int main()
{
FILE *owner f = fopen("file.txt", "r");
if (f)
fclose(f);
}

Without flow analysis (or with a very simple one, where the destroy must be the last statement)

void fclose2(FILE * owner p) {
if (p) fclose(p);
}

int main()
{
FILE *owner f = fopen("file.txt", "r");
if (f){
}
fclose2(f);
}
Well, other simpler options are:

if (input in ['Y', 'y']) then
WriteLn('blah blah')
else if (input in ['N', 'n']) then
WriteLn('blah')
else
WriteLn('Input invalid');

And:

if (LowerCase(input) = 'y') then
WriteLn('blah blah')
else if (LowerCase(input) = 'n') then
WriteLn('blah')
else
WriteLn('Input invalid');
Yes, they were. The opium wars were about the West forcing China to allow more western interests in China.

Code delivery happens in desktop apps too, when you download the binary from evilsite.com, or when you receive an auto-update, they can give you a different binary than the security professionals reviewed. That's assuming the professionals even reviewed the binary, and not the source evilsite.com claimed it was built from.

It would also be difficult for said professionals to detect IP-(range)-specific backdoors (with as much obfuscation as you like; only send on Tuesdays; encrypted using a string constant elsewhere in the binary), in App Store delivered binaries that are harder to vary per downloader.

Some web apps - [Cryptee](https://crypt.ee/threat-model) is a notable example - address this with a "trust on first use" approach, that makes any change to the (web) code require approval, but that's in the same realm as a desktop app, where you've trusted it on the first download, and trust it to have actually followed through on that promise.

I actually suspect one of the new most popular mediums will be actors on a theatre stage doing live performances to a live AI CGI video being rendered behind them - similar to musicians in a live orchestra. It would bring together the nostalgia and wonder of human acting and performance art, while still smoothing and enhancing their live performance into the quality levels and wonder we've come to expect from movie theatre experiences. This will be technologically doable soon.

I guess I'm not quite sure how those are the two options. For the second scenario, if LLMs are the local maximum and hit a wall, OpenAI would only be in a good spot if the challenges hit don't invalidate core differentiators of their company.

For example, if GPU-based systems are the limiting factor they wouldn't have the edge. If the problem turns out to be in the human skills and background needed to develop an AGI they similarly wouldn't have the advantage.

Wouldn't there have to be a third scenario, where they walked down a path that doesn't pan out at all and requires a fundamental rethink effectively going back to square one?

Well in the ad space, we are talking about ad buyers not so much consumers. I think a good analogy would be if ABC and NBC purchased all other broadcasters and cable channels in the 80s. And then they go and purchased all INTERNATIONAL broadcasters.
So if you write a book about Python, you should include the full source code to Python as well, right? If you write a book about Java, the full source code to the JDK, and so on. Because if the readers have to download and install that by themselves, the book would not be self contained anymore, URLs may break, etc etc.

Ah, no, programming language runtimes are Ok, no need to include them. But then if you write a book about React, or MySQL, or... well, you get the point.
Wow. Unless I'm thinking of a different device, those were much more expensive the last time I took a look. That's super tempting.

Just giving a preliminary skim of the website, it looks like their alphabet doesn't include meta characters like CTRL, ALT, and WINDOWS? Is there a more advanced mode? When you customize things, is that done on device (just sending keystrokes as a Bluetooth keyboard) or do you need special software on the device you're interacting with? Learning aside. How accurate has it seemed so far?

It's quite possible that the humanoid lifeform is optimal to have a technological species that can travel between stars. An aquatic species would have huge difficulties just building technology and civilization, because of the habitat. A species without arms and thumbs would have a hard time manipulating its environment (just look at all the 4-legged animals now). A species with more than 4 limbs would likely either be too small (insects) to accomplish much, or would need too much energy (and probably evolve to lose the extra limbs over time).

There's good reasons to think that alien species might not look all that different from animals on this planet, simply due to physics. Animals here didn't simply spring to life in their current form; they evolved from single-celled organisms to best suit their environments.
Or if they released it on a cassette, and we all collectively agreed that digital music sucks…

> I see Elixir developers comfortable with Erlang and vice-versa

I agree with this. I was an "in theory" fan of erlang for a long time, but was always put off by its syntax, which I don't find too pleasing. But after a lot of elixir, and kind of rubbing up against erlang anyway, you sort of can't help but learn it, or at least learn to read it. Once you start using things like ETS, for example, you're going to be reading erlang docs. By the time you even know about ETS, though, you've probably seen enough erlang that it's not scary anymore.

I do prefer elixir - but I admit it's purely a subjective, aesthetic preference. They're both good and I can imagine jumping back and forth as needed.

One thing I will say though is that once you've worked with the BEAM enough you ain't going back. You will rip my genservers out of my cold, dead hands.
