Some of them are (and you're making a very good point here!), but some of them may be just pragmatic.

Again, very true.

As a Catholic, I think I can tell you that it might be more nuanced. I believe that ethical norms are not some arbitrary rules, but are a bit like the part of a manual for some device that says under what conditions the device works properly and under what conditions it may break, only for humans. As in "if you commit adultery, you will end up unhappy; you have been warned". (Cf. 1 Corinthians 12, 6 – https://bible.usccb.org/bible/1corinthians/6#54006012) Although IANTP ("I am not the pope";-)), of course, and neither am I a theologian, so take this with a grain of salt.
I have ADHD (professionally diagnosed as an adult) and basically cannot focus without music. I complained at work about endpoint management software that was interfering with my music player and was told I didn't need to listen to music while working.

I WFH so I just found another way to play music, but it was tempting to point out to my boss (who I otherwise quite like) that he had just told me that I shouldn't be using a reasonable accommodation for my disability that costs the company nothing, lol.

It's only the case if people don't deny that the crimes exist, and Canada might suffer a bit from that lack of recognition.

The basic premise of Pijul is that the way they model changes leads to better merges, fewer conflicts, and (crucially) no cases of bad merges. Git can complete merges and do it incorrectly. https://pijul.org/manual/theory.html

This means that in some cases, Pijul will correctly merge where any of the git merge strategies would create a conflict. It also means that in some other (rarer) cases, Pijul will generate a conflict where git would not: git would guess, in effect, and either get it right or get it wrong. I consider both of these things to resolve in Pijul's favor.

The Pijul model also means that conflicts preserve some crucial state which can be used to resolve the merge. A conflict is modeled as a specific data structure, not as special syntax intruded into the source file. One example of this is that conflicts can in some circumstance be resolved by applying more patches, because the conflict is metadata about the file, it isn't data in the file which screws with subsequent state changes.
It is both wise for a union organizer to assume the whole place is bugged, and bad for the company to bug the whole place. Both can be true.

Yeah it’s mostly sunk cost fallacy driving the regret. Elderly leadership who harken for the way they developed their career are the ones pushing the narrative. “Think of the children,” “how can we organize in any other way than the emergent reality my career was shaped by,” etc are the real drivers and the sunk cost is used to buttress. Eventually cold hard cash will win out over fallacious thinking.

You should be offended in every situation, where you received a generated response mimicking human communication. Much, much more so, when presented as an actual human's response. That's someone stealing your time and cognitive resources, exploiting your humanity and eroding implicit trust. Deeply insulting. I can't think of a single instance where this would be acceptable.

>When iMessage launched in 2011, it was the first widely available messaging app to provide end-to-end encryption by default,...

Until very recently, iMessage provided no way to verify that you and your correspondent were not both connected to the server, rather than each other. So guaranteed end-to end encryption wasn't possible. Even now, with a recent version of iOS, they allow the users to blithely exchange messages without any identity verification. The identity numbers used to do this are hidden behind menus. So not really E2EE in any practical sense.
If the company is not confident with the output of the chatbot or the liability then they should turn it off. All business decisions are based on assessing risk. Ultimately either insurance will need to step in or the company is willing to take the hit for mistakes their system makes because it saves them more money. This is how fraud protection it assessed with banks, credit cards etc. as well.

Limited liability is more trusting than trustless.

Blockchain and crypto are great examples of the true value of trust, and the true cost of not having it - in fact, Bitcoin gives a way to measure trust in physical unit of kilowatt hours, that is the amount of energy you need to keep burning to replace trust in a system.

Tell that to the FDA.

I work in medical devices. It's no longer sufficient to throw up your hands and assume "well, they have their hands on the device, we can't stop them from doing anything." The new cybersecurity guidance anticipates an attacker having physical access to your Device and you are expected to understand and mitigate any impact that can have.

Cars shouldn't be any different.

I am someone you would label a ‘crime denier’ because I feel the problem is definitely smaller than in the past and it is generally overstated in the media.

No description of how it works or what it does. Sounds like a bot. Dodgy ethics. Not yet launched.

This is just an idea, and possibly a bad one at that.

Regardless of morality, if it's a bot posting AI messages based on brand mentions or keyword mentions on set platforms then those platforms likely already have guidelines for bots. Maybe you could get away with an automated workflow? Send the user alerts for the mentions, along with 1-3 suggested responses, and let them post the comments themselves? That might be a better product.

Also brand mention tools are quite hard to scale, since you are essentially crawling the web for them. The AI response part is the easy bit.

As people on HN have said before, mentioning your product uses AI is not a selling point or USP. It's a feature or drawback. Your USP is whether or not you can quickly and accurately spot mentions and then make it easier for people to respond to them than your competitors.

Let's ask the interpreter / compiler:

./xl -nobuiltins -parse /tmp/glop.xl -style debug -show
(infix is
is
is
)

So what it sees is a definition of a name 'is' as itself.

Now, that name is very unlikely to be usable because `is` as an infix is so central to everything. As a matter of fact, it looks like even "is is 2" actually crashes the current implementation.

Oh well. I wonder what a sensible error message on this would be. Probably: "Bill Clinton denied to comment on the meaning of that statement".

The result of that may be that losing a key is financially devastating enough that it totals many vehicles. And/or if the odometer and other local storage is affected, that may cause permanent title issues for the car.

Ok, now you have a list of people's names and you know they have signal installed. Google and Apple also have this (presuming you installed it via a mobile app store). Your carrier has this (from the IP addresses on your messages).

ADHD isn’t the inability to focus. It’s the inability to focus on something that’s not interesting. In an environment where one isn’t obligated to sit at a desk and memorize things for 8 hours straight, that may not be as much of an issue.

Amazingly, anxiety also decreases greatly when one’s not worried about being unable to care about whatever boring thing is being inflicted upon them this month.

I’m glad I had such things inflicted on me in interest of making me a more well rounded human. But left to my own devices, young me would have escaped to a library every single day and memorized every book on the subjects I liked. If we lived in a placetime where that were a viable option, ADHD vs Education wouldn’t have been such a problem for me.

So if I understand, your (fair) response to a criticism of aesthetism replacing meaning, is that the critique is too cultural and not materialist enough (not evaluating either arguments here, just trying to rephrase it)

> From a use case perspective, could someone help me understand why

Imagine a legacy system that has a method that dynamically query-builds a massive query based on several method parameters (say 10 or 20), this method is used in two dozen places or more. The underlying tables are used in a million other places. Rewriting the query building method or, even worse, changing the underlying data model, would be expensive.

Now imagine that you could speed up some of these queries WITHOUT changing your code or model or rolling your own cache solution (the invalidation of which is always a real PITA). All this basically for free.

I don't think "why a developer would adopt something like this over a database like Clickhouse" is the right take. They do not compete. It's not about "adopting a database", that decision has been typically made a long time ago in a galaxy far far away and by someone else than you. Of course unless you work on green field projects or small enough projects that "adopting a different database" is even a question. I'd love some of that stuff :) ... one of the biggest systems I worked on for several years had close to 700 mysql tables (yea, not colums, tables), basically anything that was anywhere near the core of the system took ages to change and test. I can't possibly imagine the investment it would require to move that system from mysql to something else while not making a billion bugs along the way. I could imagine using something like Readyset, especially if it handles cache invalidation for you based on underlying model data changes.
Also: When your phone or computer is hacked, most people think "Wow, the device is flawed." But when your car gets stolen, most people think "Wow, we should stop those criminals." Apple/Google are incentivized to give a damn about security because incidents reflects poorly on their products. We need to start making thefts via security exploits reflect poorly on the car manufacturers and their products.
Not specifically because of BigQuery, but I have taken to adding " LIMIT 10" to that for my default query because of accidentally locking up 10TB databases too many times.

I think it would be a better idea to redirect to a government-controlled domain and highlight to users that they should check the domain to verify that they can trust the content.

With the current setup the next scammer will just copy that claim of government control to scam their victims further.
thats the most surface level, obvious concequence. Thats why I said " worth is meaningless when you get to quantities that large." But how much? how much would it have to drop to make the cost of launching too high, when it might give you monopoly power over the supply of an entire fundamental chemical element. How much would you be able to exploit that monopoly ? political consequences?

even outside of anticompetetive practices, When the price of a fundamental good drops like that, new industries and new uses become viable. Sometimes the market then grows to the point that you make more money than you might expect

This is entirely a non-issue because:

> The breakroom in question has two other cameras present: a security camera on the ceiling and another security camera attached to a self-checkout kiosk employees use when buying food, Canaday said.

It's totally normal for workplaces to have cameras in public employee areas.

The article tries to make a point:

> He said that Amazon workers must feel free to talk about work in the breakroom without the fear of being surveilled.

But there's no microphone in question here, the article even says so specifically. Conversations are not being snooped on here.

And the camera is used for scanning cards to purchase coffee with, so it's not exactly nefarious.

This is non-news.
There are some exceptions, like Mistral 0.1 (which is technically 32K according to the config but practically 8K because the sliding window is awful) and InternLM (which (at least initially) used auto rope scaling to extend the context as part of the model's architecture).

So first off, this is almost 30yo, predates agile. You can tell that, because the bullshit detector reveals only 3 words.

A lot of people are saying "construction and software are very different". This is fair, but this is not how I read it. The point being conveyed is not that the methods used in software don't make sense in construction, or that we're using the wrong method in software because construction does it differently, but to outline the outlandishness of certain expectations in software and of software devs (extreme flexibility, ridiculous cost, taking in the needs of the planet, doing all the jobs) that, dare I say, didn't change much in the 29y since this was written.

That these are bytes and those are bricks don't change that thise expectations are unrealistic, and that post makes that point in a funny way.
The explore/exploit tradeoff immediately seems like a natural connection to some synaptic pruning and forking research that has been popping up around neurodiverse brain patterns.

Or are they instead connecting new neural pathways along the way and following atypical unanswered thought threads in an attempt to find a new and better option... for some motivated reason?

Seems more useful to study over a longer term, across many similar tasks.
