It's a hypothetical. The actual `in_range` template function doesn't work like that at all and would be annoying to use for this if you tried (it returns true/false so you have to wrap all operations in a conditional). jcelerier is suggesting we'd have something like:

template<typename T, int min, int max> // probably not int for min/max, but whatever
class in_range {
...
};

which would be instantiated with `using <my_type_name> = ...;` and would have all the necessary operator overloads and checks. Still, it's only bringing in the runtime, not compile time, checks and can't be "turned off" (well, maybe
take a fourth boolean value and have two code paths everywhere that can be optimized down to one if you want to turn off the checks) like it can in Ada (whether that's a good idea or not depends on how well you've proved out your code). It's also introducing all the overhead of an object which isn't necessary in Ada.

You should come up with specific examples, most of this is people just getting reminded of or thinking of similar things (or similar sounding things or things from the same author or from the same site, etc, etc) and posting them. There's even HN jargon for this - 'follow-up dupes'. There are also some bulk posters who bulk-post bursts on some theme or another e.g.

Yes, traffic between generic service and the mesh entrypoint is clear text BUT since the proxy is in a sidecar of the generic service pod, it shares the same "localhost" by mean of Linux network namespaces, so it's virtually isolated (if there isn't a bug) from other code running on the same node. When it exits the pod localhost, traffic is already encrypted.

The article says that opioid overdoses exploded under this legislation, but the impression I've gotten is that that isn't the real driver of this change to the law. The major complaints I've heard are around public drug use. Basically, we don't want to see it, we don't want tourists to see it. Without judgment on that issue, I wonder why they made possession a misdemeanor, rather than public use and distribution. That seems like a less controversial step.

I thought the theory behind the original legislation was that we're admitting that criminalizing drugs doesn't stop people from doing them, but it does put a lot of non-violent criminals in jail or prison, ties up the legal system, and costs tax payers a lot of money. I like decriminalization as an approach, and I wish we would do a better job of addressing addiction at the root rather than relying on the threat of punishment. Despite what I hope is only a short-term spike in deaths, I am still more optimistic about decriminalization combined with social and mental health programs over criminalization, at least in the long term.

I like that they attached funds for treatment and court programs—$21 million doesn't seem like enough to me, but certainly better than nothing.
I don't know. One "problem" is the salary around here. You simply cannot generate enough revenue from anything below 30k people for anything more than school buses (which are both predictable and tax-funded). But you wouldn't need that many rides to justify a taxi. Those _are_ around, even though typically you need to call well in advance. So even if there is like one of those autonomous taxis for a dozen 1.5k villages that will probably be both enough for any reasonable situation and an improvement wrt to the current state
You can’t generally make it a strictly compile-time feature, as far as I know. You do need what constitutes to overflow checks, basically.
Colloquial language doesn't have to follow scientific language. No facts about the physical universe changed with the name change. We can just keep calling Pluto the ninth planet, which lets the hypothesized distant planet be "Planet X" which is way the hell cooler than "planet 9". There's no need for any permission to do this.
It is mostly the nicely integrated defaults of doom emacs. Browsing files, code completion suggestions, code references and search results can mostly be achieved with the same convenient keyboard shortcuts, the exceptions are very frustrating.

There are quite a few packages involved but they are mostly managed and configured by doom. The default keyboard bindings play a huge role in the fluidity as well.
It seems people have confused decriminalization with a solution to mental health/addiction crisis. It’s not. It was always about not criminalizing a health issue and not making these peoples lives much harder to reclaim by giving them a record.

Still, even as an advocate for decriminalization, there’s some good improvements in this bill.

The interviewers don’t seem to care very much. They mostly want me to talk about big company projects with similar difficulties to what they are going through now or experienced in the past

I think if I was applying to more junior positions it would be a great way to show that I can actually build something. But for more senior roles, I have the impression they want candidates to just have experience in bigger/more complicated projects that match what the hiring company is doing more closely

In any case, it’s been a lot of fun building this, learning a lot and enjoying the process

Musk's money kept the lights on during a time when OpenAI didn't do much more than get a computer to play Dota. If he wants the proceeds of what his money bought, then they should write him a check for $0, or ship him a garbage can full of the taco wrappers eaten by the developers during that time period.
I like a low-tech approach for this kind of thing. I'd just improve on what you're doing by coming up with a directory structure (no more than two levels deep), and descriptive filenames along with the timestamp.

We could link that with another comment "Though it seems many actors are reluctant on implementing something to capture space debris as this could open the doors for capturing more then just debris (as in foreign spy satellites and the like)." and sell this as "Remove debris AND foreign spy satellites.

The upper bound resolves to a different version after a new minor version is published. That’s nondeterministic. Someone else checking out your project will get different results, unless you use a lock file.
What I get is that the proxies are a really complete "not my problem" solution, that puts all the burden of setting-up the network encryption on the hands of the people with direct access to set-up and debug your network.

If this doesn't look like a real thing to you, congratulations, you are in a well run organization that doesn't have this problem.

Anyway, whether the costs of this thing are worth the gain, I have no idea.

> Because PVC windows last ~15 years,

It's completely untrue. I have PVC windows that after 30 years are as good as new. Before that there were two glaze wooden windows that after 10 years were horrible. Not sure how bad they were from the start.

> are massive,

I see you might make smaller window out of wood (or pvc) but you'd have to sacrifice thermal isolation quality to do it. They are large because they have air pockets in them for isolation.

> and are not structural, unless there are steel supports.

Load bearing window? That's insane idea as well.

> Wood lasts a shit tonne longer, assuming you maintain it.

Yeah, so not really, because people don't maintain things on average.

> The only thing really thats better is the thermal performance, and price.

Which are the two most important qualities for a window, plus the ease of use which is better for pvc and stays better.
Eh, with these particular orbits (~600km, 74.1 and 82.5 deg) it's somewhat fair - high inclination LEO is always crowded and risky. With sun-synchronous orbits it's often even worse than "17,500mph" because the hit can come from almost any direction.

Compare this with the GEO, where everything is in one slow plane, the orbit is well-kept and dead stuff drifts away.
Both can be true. I take the parent commenter to be talking about reading data off of the CD in a way that accounts for the irregularities from inconsistent spinning speeds, (I distinctly recall a friend pulling a CD out of the CD player and placing it back in to resume spinning, while a song was playing without any break in the song). Perhaps, additionally, the was some degree of accounting for resilience to things like blemishes and fingerprints.

It can nevertheless be true that the CDs were failing all the time. So robust error correction is real to achieve the degree of functionality that we did enjoy during the heyday of CDs, and despite this, the fragility of CDs as an information medium meant that they were still disappointing us.
That’s how we can pay for the whole operation! Orbital racketeering.

This article is strawman-ish, because the WH memo doesn’t suggest anything close to “outlawing” C or C++. It even explicitly notes complete rewrites are too challenging! The memo is quite broad, and goes beyond just the language choice. It also gives formal verification and CHERI as options for mitigating language unsafety. It refers to NSA's plan that goes even further into mitigations for existing codebases.

The article also rides on the contempt for PHP to make migration from C/C++ sound stupid, but PHP is not a real contender for systems programming, and isn’t on the list of recommended memory safe languages. It’s a “but what about all the other bugs”, as if having memory unsafety bugs somehow prevented all other kinds of bugs. It plays on the trope that real programmers use C++, and won't write bugs like the amateurs using blub languages.

The memo recognizes that CVE counting is problematic and calls for research into better vulnerability tracking and evaluation to get a better picture of actual risks, and address overall quality issues, not just memory safety.
"The goal isn’t to trap as much heat as possible because having some of the heat flow out is key to regulating temperatures."

Rather to get old air out and fresh one in. Temperature regulation is done by more or less heating, or if all fails, opening the door.
Space weather and positional measurement accuracy limits how precisely you can predict your orbit, especially over longer time periods. Maneuvers use precious fuel. Not all objects can make maneuvers (debris). If there are two active sats, they have to coordinate as to not make it worse.
I use `set -e` but it has its own quirks. A couple:

An arithmetic expression that evaluates to zero will cause the script to exit. e.g this will exit:

set -e
i=0
(( i++ )) # exits

Calling a function from a conditional prevents `set -e` from exiting. The following prints "hello\nworld\n":

set -e
main() {
false # does not return nor exit
echo hello
}
if main; then echo world; fi

Practically speaking this means you need to explicitly check the return value of every command you run that you care about and guard against `set -e` in places you don't want the script to exit. So the value of `set -e` is limited.

A bag of Doritos is 7 bucks now. Nearly doubled.

I was done with Windows after that. Crap like this was unthinkable before the "everything should be a SaaS" cargo cult era arrived.

What is there to explain? There are reciprocal treaties that the us signs with their allies. "The international liberal order" that the govt is always bleating about. Israel has signed a treaty that says we will respect US court decisions and enforce them. The US has also signed a treaty that says "we will respect and enforce israeli court decisions."

So if a US judge signs and an order and sends the order to an Israeli judge, the israeli judge enforces it (and vice versa).
> Imagine interacting as yourself (so not a role or character) with your deceased relatives, favorite celebrities, romantic interests, etc. They will refer to you by name, and know detailed information about you.

Is an AI generated facsimile of my dead relatives supposed to mean something to me? It's not a person. It's a thing generated from what I can only assume is their publicly accessible social media data and probabilistic conjecture, taken without their consent.

Celebrities? Again, it isn't them. AI generated Einstein or James Cagney can't offer up any real insight, because they can't know anything not already in their data set that isn't randomly generated. It's all superficial.

Romantic interests? I mean, sure, you could strap on vr googles and a fleshlight and fuck the AI generated facsimile of your crush but it isn't the same. It's just closing your eyes and beating off with extra steps, and probably a subscription.

I think you're confused about the difference between "personalized" and "personal" here.

> No video game programmer and artist can craft such experiences for you, let alone in the time it takes you to think about it and communicate it to the AI.

Of course they could, people already do it, it's called identity theft. There is nothing an AI could do that human beings couldn't do given time, because AI works from human-generated data. That AI could do it faster is a bit of a red herring, since we're talking about quality of experience, not speed of turnaround.

I can tell you're engaged with the fantasy and it isn't likely that we're going to find common ground here. But I'm looking at what AI is already being used for and all of it - all of it is worse than the human-created content it replaces.
> The article says that opioid overdoses exploded under this legislation

It actually says the opposite:

> Oregon has seen a 1,500% rise in overdose deaths since the pandemic started, the steepest increase in the country, according to recent federal data. In 2022, almost 1,000 people in the state died from opiate overdoses. But research has so far showed no correlation between the rise in overdoses and decriminalization.

Overdoses have risen everywhere since the pandemic, and Oregon's rise (like the rest of the country's) predates Measure 110. There's no evidence of any causation between the two.
My brain also automatically added sum and also haven't noticed anything, but I have a math degree, maybe it's just assuming things :-)

> No, what I'm saying is you can't ban everything associated with Nazis and nothing else in a LLM, because neural nets don't work like that and you're simply unable to ban something without influencing all the results. Which is worse than just banning info about Wernher von Braun.

You don't have to do it inside a single model, you can have a complex of models where one of them selects the almost-final output, and if it has Nazi references, raises an indicator which the system orchestrating the models recognizes and reprompts for a correction (if it is the first time) or returns a canned response (if a suitable response cannot be generated in enough tries.)

Probably still has some impact on other answers (because the detection layer is probably not 100% accurate, and if you want a near-zero miss rate on detection you probably have to accept some false positive rate), but you can get a lot closer than relying on a single pass through a single model.
You think generative ai/deep learning tools could help with this?
