I don't think that the dealer equipment being used to steal cars today is coming from dealers where management is knowingly engaging in car theft. It is other people who are misusing those tools. There are many hundreds of thousands of people who work at dealerships, and many do not care about their employers reputation. Also, many dealerships are broken into.
Here's one example: http://bactra.org/weblog/915.html
If you think about it, teenage rebellion makes sense from an evolutionary perspective as it encourages a subgroup (teenagers) to explore outside whatever's the norm (aka adults). I wrote more about it in my blog post:

It's a pretty weird word for English-speakers, no argument from me there. I don't think I can explain why it's weird, but it is. I don't think that's even in the top five barriers to adoption though.
> I find working on a contract basis is much more compatible with my ADHD experience than being a FTE because I can at avoid charging for days when my brain goes completely off the rails.

True for me as well but hard for most to find a situation (or employer/client) that can be this lenient.

For me, I have certain issues that are literally impossible to explain. Why am I a half hour late? Because I had to go back inside the house to grab something different I forgot 4 separate times, and on the third time, I lost the item I went back for originally, and had to spend 15 minutes looking for that. Oh, my car keys ended up in the refrigerator for some reason. Why not? There have been periods where this has been every waking moment of my life if I don't concentrate as hard as I can.

"Why don't you just set aside a spot for things." Wow, geez, I never thought of that, thanks. I'm cured.
That's an interesting thought, but I would say instead that I'm in favor of culture being the "first line of defense" and not the law. In other words, I can leave my door unlocked because I am a part of a culture where that sort of thing doesn't happen. Not because there is a law written down somewhere. This has functionally been my experience in a number of spaces, including private workspaces (i.e., you don't expect your co-workers to steal your stuff), Japan, Poland, and a few other countries, and many others.

If that's a definition of "common law" then sure, but it seems like a different thing to me.

There is no expectation of privacy of your face when engaging in any kind of commercial transaction.

To the contrary, it's an essential measure for helping to track down theft and fraud.

Every self-checkout takes a photo of your face. Every ATM. And basically every store where you check out with a cashier has security cameras capturing your face from angles.

So there is no reason why engineers would want to angle the camera downwards.
This is my personal perception, but I think it's important that there is a clear definition of liability so that companies are able to make their own determinations of what is ready and what isn't.

No actually it does help quite a bit. Allergies are primarily from allergens in the air and you still breathe the same air in the clean room (just through a mask). So you are going to be breathing the air minus allergens which for people with severe allergies might be worth the extra hassle of being in a cleanroom

Yeah, it is end to end encrypted, but the keys are part of your device's iCloud backup. So unless you turn on end to end encryption for that backup or disable it, Apple can access the keys required to decrypt the iMessage in iCloud messages.

> People who "closely study mistakes and successes of the past" are in a very rare supply in the crypto space

Unless you're talking about people who are studying the mistakes and successes of crypto scams, and are working to refine them (the scams), then you can find a few.
There is a real danger of "victim blaming" here. A similar thing occurred recently for the South Korean car makers Kia and Hyundai, which experienced soaring car thefts in the US due to relatively low car security standards and the high US crime rate. Some US American journalists, politicians [0] and judges [1] blamed the car makers for the steeply rising car thefts.

However, these manufacturers come from a country where there are much fewer car thefts than in the US and where these cars didn't cause a comparable theft problem. The people blaming Kia and Hyundai would have been well-advised to identify at least as a major part of the problem the US-specific crime rate, not just the South Korean car manufacturers which weren't sufficiently adapted to to this crime.

It's kind of similar to a young naive woman from South Korea doing her vacation in the US, and walking home at night, alone through a dark park in a shady neighborhood. A thing she could expect to safely do in South Korea. But in the US, the worst thing happens. Who is to blame? The women may bear some part of the responsibility by wrongly assuming the US is as safe as South Korea. But I think it's clear the main fault lies with the US criminals, not the victim.

People easily get used to things like that and don't notice it. Until they travel to a country where very different things are normal, and get a culture shock.

> Even in the best case, your copyright suggestion will privilege the giant corporations who have the capability to navigate copyright rules against a bunch of other giant corporations, at the expense of smaller researchers and hobbyists.

Copyright doesn't really privilege giant corporations. In a world without it, they can just use their market power and immense resources (e.g., SaaS) to protect their interests.

Copyright is one of the few tools the little guy can use to protect their interests against giant corporations. Abolish it, and one of the first things that will happen is the RIAA will stop paying artists anything and become the biggest "pirate" in the world.

It's mind boggling how some people have that so backwards. I'm guessing it stems from only thinking about copyright in the context of "RIAA sues..." articles and complaints about Elsevier, without thinking about it from any other angles.

Definitely feels like it. I frequently see people here complaining about how everything has the same boring, homogenous corporate look now, but anything interesting and original gets critiqued for lacking "visual clarity". These might be two different camps, sure, but it's sometimes sad to see the quality of discussion here.
I think what he actually described is why the rule of law is not a replacement for a good ethical framework that is shared culturally.

I didn't read his post as advocating for no laws or replacing the legal framework. I read it as advocating for rebuilding a shared ethical framework for the culture.

I don't really get the impression that teachers are expected to instill strong moral values, more just teach the subject and then leave.

With parents, my feeling is not so much that society expects them to instill strong ethical values in their children, but rather something more pragmatic, Machiavellian, "making it in life," and so forth.

It’s also quite literally true. There’s a reason there’s only one ASML. That reason is free trade - it makes it untenable to invest hundreds of billions into developing alternatives - you can just buy state of the art instead and move on to higher value things. Now we’ve forced China to (eventually) build “their own ASML”. Which they will eventually succeed at, given the strategic importance of this tech. Oops.
So, story time. I once interviewed Stephen Wolfram for IEEE's software engineering radio and I had a lot of fun doing it and he did to.

We ended up running way overtime because he was having fun showing me things with Mathematica. He is a fascinating person, I successfully kept him off talking about his math / physics theories and on the idea of a programming language leading to better thinking and more break-throughs.

I left the discussion pretty impressed by him and he did in the discussion have some vague worries that he maybe got so focused on the idea of a notation for science in Mathematica that he neglected the actual work that sent him on this path. But he wasn't sure that the notation wasn't more valuable itself.

Notebooks, like Jupter, clearly came from his work and the other thing that hasn't reached mainstream he seems to have invented is having data sort of embedded in the programming language, in standard libraries, where it's easy to get the number of calories in the moon if it were made of cheese or whatever.
Its like chess. There are just far fewer women that get obsessed with it. If there was a woman who played chess as well as Magnus Carlsen there wouldn't be any possible "systemic barrier" to hide it. But chess performance can be gauged objectively. Software is subjective, so we can point fingers at imagined systemic barriers.
I always like people's LaTeX-based note taking setups. I'm a mathematician, so I write a lot of LaTeX too. (And I use vim, so I really like vim+Latex workflows).

It's interesting that this post (or rather, the later post that discusses this) talks about the advantages of UltiSnips. The well-known vim-LaTeX posts written by Gilles Castel (RIP) relied pivotally on UltiSnips.

It's not just that UltiSnips is a snippet engine. There are many of those (including LuaSnip, the other snippet engine mentioned in the OP series of articles). It's that UltiSnips can dispatch arbitrary expressions to short python code sections, and python has a great scientific library. For example, it's trivial to write a `sympy` snippet that will simplify or compute a given expression and write the output in latex for you.

But UltiSnips works *terribly* with neovim [1] [2]. Why? Because UltiSnips uses python, and neovim's python interface is 100x slower than vim's python interface. There are design decisions for this and I'm not trying to say that neovim is bad. I use both vim and neovim. But I use vim+UltiSnips+vimtex for writing LaTeX.

LuaSnip has interpolation too. I suppose it would be possible to write more code that calls from LuaSnip to a system like sympy (or other). But that's work. On the other hand, I think it takes a true power user to actually want or use the fancy interpolation functions.

It's not strange in the slightest. Apple deserves criticism until they fix this. They're going around claiming "end-to-end" and people don't understand that they are constantly handing over people's decrypted messages to law enforcement. It's misleading at best; I call it fraud. It's not as though Apple is merely failing to prevent a third party from breaking their end-to-end encryption here. Apple does it itself! iMessage and iCloud are not separate companies operating independently. The right hand knows what the left is doing!

This is not a UX issue or an engineering issue. Apple already built end-to-end encryption for sensitive data types that is still recoverable from backups even if you lose all your devices and forget your iCloud account password. They do it the same way Google does, and they already use it by default for important stuff you don't want to lose like passwords stored in Keychain and health data and a bunch of other stuff too. Literally all they need to do is store the iMessage encryption keys in this system by default. They continuously choose not to, and the reason is reported by Reuters to be a secret compromise agreement with the FBI. https://web.archive.org/web/20200121123026/https://www.reute...

> Instead of discussing how car theft is fundamentally an unethical behavior, the discussion is about preventing some thing from being sold or existing, whether that be insecure vehicles or Flipper Zeroes.

I’m a bit off-track from your point here, but to some extent I think it is just because there isn’t anything interesting to say about car theft being unethical. It is, but what do we want to discuss? Flipper Zero is interesting to talk about because it’s a new device and there’s a bit of perceived grey-area around the ethics of selling it.

> My theory is that this is a consequence of relativism and the general cultural exhaustion Western society seems to have with enforcing any sort of religious or ethical norms.

> I really don't like the way this is going, because the end result is a world where limitations are hardwired into the environment, while at the same time you have zero ethical expectations of your fellow humans. It's very Hunger Games / Battle Royale, at a less hostile level.

We’ve always had a strain of ruthless FYGM capitalism in the US (including when the country was more religious). I think that is what those stories are mostly criticizing?

Lack of ethics is a competitive advantage to be exploited by some. You would think there’d be strong norms like “don’t dump toxic waste in the river” but here we are with an EPA.

So I think this isn’t new. What might be new is the “I’m going to exploit the rules to maximum advantage” mindset becoming so widespread? This doesn’t seem that surprising; it is the default mindset of powerful people after all, and as communication tech has gotten better everybody can see that.

Regardless of your position on Israel, it is inaccurate to frame the speech that was being debated as students who are "critical of US imperialism".

Whether that speech is protected, whether it violates university's hate speech rules, and the Israel/Hamas conflict are completely different subjects.

Language matters. The post I replied to inaccurately characterized congressional testimony as part of an attempt to make a partisan political point.

Debating and discussing these subjects is important, and it's also important that we do so accurately.

Manipulating language to maximize outrage reaction detracts from our ability to discuss subjects objectively.

I agree, the lack of consistency sets us (i.e. humans vs LLMs) apart.

> LLMs are confidently and repeatedly wrong about very simple things that a human would never be.

It is a strong assertion. A substantial fraction of the population (maybe even the majority) would repeat phrases they learned. Some are about Earth being 5000 years old, some are political slogans, and some others are based on the knowledge they derived from TV series.

> Since one can invariably take any criticism of LLMs and immediately reply with "but some humans do that too", I don't think such lines of argument say very much.

On the contrary - it is interesting to see which problems are uniquely LLM (or human) and which others - are similar instances of the same, especially when we benchmark LLM not only versus some idealized human cognition but one of an ordinary person under ordinary conditions.
The one thing I still wonder is whether SMRs could create a security nightmare.

Every nuclear power plant is a fantastic target for terrorists. Transports of nuclear waste are a fantastic target, too.

I read once that the UK has many nuclear waste trains driving all the time, most of them empty, just to make it hard to guess which one to hit. (I assume other western countries have the same system). That kind of security doesn’t scale well.

How do you protect infrastructure with many SMRs?
