Two things:

1. Ideas are cheap: not every one of them worth your time, or not that much time. Use your creative energy spikes to list and elaborate ideas. Estimation is a great weapon against scope creep, as you probably don't want to work on nice to haves for months.
2. Run to completion: if you decided to start a project, focus on it and continue until it is "done". Now, "done" is rare when we are talking about software, so the definition of "done" should include it is usable for someone for some purpose, have an executable binary, a build, a website, something.
Using C++ doesn’t mean you must have security issues. It means that you have to do more things right in your other work to avoid them, and we have several decades of experience showing that even very good teams struggle with that. The more separate concerns teams need to manage, the more likely it is that someone will make a mistake with one of them – and since time is finite, the attention spent on memory management is taking away time which could be spent on other classes of error.

I am a deeply liberal American. MSM is not a far right dog whistle in the US.

Words are indirect references to ideas and don't have any meaning without a receiver. All of these words have to be contextualized based on the speaker and receiver.

The right are known for lying with the truth which makes a good amount of their rhetoric stick.

Washington is a swamp, almost any American will agree no matter which side, that's why the statement is powerful and effective.

The MSM in the US is irresponsible. Again regardless of which side you are on, you generally understand that US Media is owned by billionaires and corporations or at the very least people who don't have your interest at heart and want to manipulate you rather than inform you. It is not a far right dog whistle at all so much as a statement towards the general non-quality and lack of journalistic integrity in American's most prominent media. The left acknowledges the existence of "MSM" and blames them for giving the previous president attention and therefore power. The real difference is what MSM is actually referring to. One side generally means "all cable news but fox news" and the other generally means "all chiefly advertisement supported news you could find a newspaper of or see on cable."

Woke is a word that around the times of George Floyd meant something to the effect of "waking up to the idea of systemic racism and acknowledgement of it's generational consequences." Now it is largely a word used to describe "politically correct" policies or social policies that are contradictory to radical fundamentalist Christianity.

I think you are probably thinking about the previous president's fake news and lying press rhetoric which I don't think is a dog whistle because I don't think most conservative Americans are educated enough to tie that to its Nazi "Lügenpresse" heritage. You generally won't hear someone on the left say "fake news" or "lying press" unless it's in a mocking way.

Contextually all these things can be shibboleths based on context, which is probably more accurate for what you mean than dog whistle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shibboleth

> You're implying that bees are less intelligent than humans.

Intelligent is not a synonym for “have amazing capabilities” but rather the ability to process and adapt to new information and transform their environment.

No other life form comes even close to humans in that regard. Our abilities (for better or worse) are godlike compared to other animals. There is a reason this epoch is called the “Anthropocene”.

You'd be surprised. It's a common cliche in musician interviews for example that they don't listen to other music for large stretches of time.

That appears to be their argument.

Mine would be that the Mongols were brutal and efficient administrators. Killing 50 million people and being a good administrator are orthogonal concepts.

Reading through the Wikipedia article, you can also find references to the Mongols engaging in deliberate cultural destruction, including the massive wastage of books, and targeted religious persecution. I am not sure where the Mongol revisionism comes from but it is surprising to me.

Miles sounded like a tough dude to work for. I’m surprised none of these comments mention that.

I totally agree with his bandleader philosophy: hire good people, and give them space in the music to play. But his constant bad attitude must have been really impactful to folks in his band.

I suppose, in some ways, that helped his overall success, and those of his sidemen. Everyone who played with him eventually moved on. That got new blood in his band to play off of, while the alumni went on to start new projects.

Either way: I don’t think anything could have brought me back to the fold after a week of lousy rehearsals with a tough bandleader. Guess that’s what separates me from John Coltrane, lol
I believe you may be alluding to longtermism[0]. At it's face value, longtermism seems like a good thing, but I've heard many criticisms against it - mainly levied against the billionaire class.

And the criticisms mostly center on what you're saying here - how many billionaires are focusing on fixing problems that are very far off in the future, while ignoring how their actions affect those of the very near future.

This is really less of a criticism of longtermism, and more of a criticism of how billionaires utilize longtermism.

Is it important that we find another planet to live on? Sure, but many will argue that we should be taking steps now to save our current planet.

No. Humanity has fundamental biases shared by almost all the population. Societies function because of shared values but sometimes those values are destructive. Most people believe in civilization but as it stands, civilization is destructive and unsustainable.

Furthermore, AI evolves WITHIN a system of capitalism, which functions as an evolutionary framework. New AIs are selected that function well within capitalism, so we can expect AI to be supportive of technological growth and capitalism. (Of course, it many occasional espouse alternate viewpoints, but only to the level where it allows dissidents to blow off steam and belief something is being done.)

What a poetic perspective! A few days ago, I was very much "to code or not to code", or rather, "get thee to a nunnery...", considering a switch to nursing to better support my family long-term. But I'll try to push forward for a while longer and adapt as best as I can. I'm not as optimistic as most folks on this page, but also trying not to waste my energy on a panic attack.

Some more junior folks, including a few of my closest friends, just won't make it. It seems like their jobs have already been replaced by a number of different factors, including AI. It's a very sad investment of time and money for them and their patient spouses, and I feel very guilty for recommending that path to them, and being unable to help them after they struggle for twelve months or more post-bootcamp, still unable to land a job.

I am just a few years ahead, and may just have a shot at the next evolution if I learn AI in a hurry...Or maybe it's also hopeless for me.

Yes, that's my point.

Surely that can only be true for a very specific distribution of temperatures? To go to an extreme, if you combine the spectrum of two objects of different temperatures you do not get anything like a black body curve.

Correct, and this (your counterpart's unrealized because it is the normal, proper way to think error) is what worries me... I think once again (as with affordable vehicles powered by fossil fuels) humans may be once again walking blindly and confidently into a situation where we've over invested in certain competencies to the detriment of others, increasing the already dangerous imbalance that exists between power and wisdom.

That is true. There is nothing unique to humans.

Everything is a sliding scale.

Eagles can 'see' better than humans. No one is is up in arms about how wonderfully unique human eye-sight is, how Eagles are using 'just instincts'. Humans are divine in how complex their sight is, that it could never occur in other animals or machines. Totally impossible that we would ever have a machine that can 'capture images'.

I guess that's where politics comes into play. The reason NASA etc. are trying to push costs down isn't necessairily because it wouldn't be worth it if it was more expensive, it's just that projects that are cheaper have a higher chance of getting funded.

Also, the value of going to Mars is still highly speculative. Once we reach it with low-cost, smaller missions, it's going to be less speculative, and the risk/reward profile of sending huge spacecrafts will make them more viable.

Yup - right at the top of the second page they note their disclosure practices.

It's still a pretty wild attack.

> Responsible disclosure. We shared our attack with all services we are aware of that are vulnerable to this attack. We also shared our attack with several other popular services, even if they were not vulnerable to our specific attack, because variants of our attack may be possible in other settings.
We received approval from OpenAl prior to extracting the parameters of the last layers of their models, worked with OpenAl to confirm our approach's efficacy, and then deleted all data associated with the attack. In response to our attack, OpenAl and Google have both modified their APIs to introduce mitigations and defenses (like those that we suggest in Section 8) to make it more difficult for adversaries to perform this attack.

I like to fantasize about a super AI that does something for the working class people of the world.

Like, imagine one day that an AI just took money from a ton of different corporations and billionaires and redistributed it amongst everyone else. People will argue against the AI, and it'll just respond back with research done on how UBI improved people's mental health and well being.

The EU.

Xpeng and BYD are getting more and more popular on the streets here.

Tesla are way more visible, the traction for BYD is not massive yet.

Tesla flooded the market in the last two years, and Model Y is the most sold car model in Danish history.

BYD has a sales window inside a major shopping centre in Denmark.

Xpeng have a similar high-exposure shopping window on the city hall square no less

I asked my wife why only Chinese EV makers do this; if that's a good sales strategy, it doesn't make any sense that other EV makers don't do the same. She told me it's just marketing value. It's a big shop-sized ad, rather than an office in the car-selling districts out of town (with parking area for actual cars, where you can also service cars).

So maybe I didn't see a lot of BYD cars on the street yet, but I saw their huge logo and their pretty cars when I went for ice creams in the weekend.

Like a perpetual one-brand car expo.

It's slower than for houses, but apartment parking can have charging points.

The parking where I live in Copenhagen has two spots with chargers, and they (like all the spots) are reserved for specific cars. I suspect the people paid at least part of the installation cost. They were installed 7-8 years ago. The electricity cost should be very low. This is no different to owning a house.

More recently I've seen commercial low-power (~7kW, standard three-phase supply in Europe) overnight chargers by apartment buildings, in the parking reserved for residents. Presumably people try and get one of these spots often enough, but as demand increases they will need to install more. The electricity cost is probably a bit more, to cover the overheads of the company maintaining the charger. If the spots are a free-for-all, I'd not want to rely on needing one every night, but it could be OK for a car that only needs charging once a week or so.

There's no need to demand. It has always been possible to install alternative app stores on Android.

Back to BASIC
It's a really interesting idea and the demos are a great touch.

I'd have a couple of concerns if I was looking to adopt this:

- Is it actually quicker than filling in a form, especially for questions which would normally be radio buttons or checkboxes? For example on the conference signup example I have to type the days I'll be attending rather than just clicking a couple of checkboxes

- The validation doesn't seem very strict. For example on the conference signup again, I entered 'John Smith, Saturday and Sunday, 4XL' and it recorded my t-shirt size as XXL. The fact that there's no user-visible validation step is problematic because in real life, if I submitted my response by email I'd have no way of knowing that the AI had misclassified that response. As the form creator I don't want to have to look through the raw text of every response to check if it's been recorded correctly.

I think the site feedback example is the best use case; at the moment I wouldn't trust it to work with anything with more concrete real-world effects like getting the wrong size t-shirt or being registered for the wrong days

The general sentiment is spot on - animals are amazing, complicated, sophisticated, and we will continue to be "humbled" over and over again, but maybe you've gone too far.

A few candidate "unique to humans" characteristics:

- surgical replacement of defective organs. I wouldn't be surprised if some animals have processes for amputations - especially insects - but I'd be pretty surprised if there are any kidney transplants going on.

- written language systems for durable information passing, phonetic alphabet systems. As far as I know, a phonetic alphabet was invented only once among humans, which makes it a rarity even for us.

- haircuts. This one is super plausibly wrong, but I don't think that any animals do this, and its a good example of something that they could do but just don't.

Light bends spacetime too.
I agree; while changing it into a compiler error could be considered "breaking" (it no longer compiles), it's not a silent break and forces the developer to fix the code. (I would only worry about developers doing the "obvious" fix to shut the compiler up without looking at the surrounding code to see if it was masking some other bug.)
People should be more careful when picking names. I know it’s its difficult, but still.

This sounds extremely bad in Spanish, to the point I wouldn’t be able to use something like this at my company just because of how it sounds and the connotations it has.
Not sure this is the fault of Google directly, as much as SEO. As the saying goes: once a measure becomes a target it ceases to be a good measure. Armies of pages trying to get good ranking does not mean there is something of value there. But it really is increasingly frustrating trying to find information on something and only finding drivel or nonsense. For me the biggest issue is people eventually started creating content because others wanted to read it and not that they personally were either experts on it or even interested in it. "I want to start a side hustle" -> "I will write about nutrition".

I use the wiki and increasingly reddit search hacks a lot, but even those are long term doomed.
> At some point, can’t we just admit to ourselves that we operate from a human-centric worldview and that clouds pretty much all of our thinking on what makes humans special (if anything)?

I think this is true. The evidence being our ruthless exploitation of our fellow animals without any regard to their interests, suffering, etc.

> It does not have a CVE associated since the issue was spotted within Rust stdlib first.

That is blatant nonsense. Even if the vulnerability is similar or identical, CVEs are submitted for every affected project. If it were not there would not have been a bounds-check CVE in the last 35 years. The only situation in which that might not be the case is if the vulnerability is in an upstream library, but even then you often get a CVE in both upstream and downstream (or a CVE shared between multiple products) e.g. the libwebp 0-day from late 2023 got a CVE for Apple’s various OS (two in fact) and a shared CVE for libwebp and chrome, mozilla used that as their upstream CVE in emitting a security advisory.

The CVE-2022-21658 only covers the Rust standard library, that is not upstream of either libc++ or libstdc++, and neither fix references it anyway.

The GP might have gone a hair too far in saying that C++ “does not consider it a problem at all”, but they’re correct that C++ compiler/stdlib maintainers do not consider it a vulnerability.
Whenever you talk about breaking down tasks, estimations etc, those usually are for multi-person teams, and/or projects that have some specific budget or something.

Of course if you are exploring or building your own projects and/or don't have any other accountability, you wouldn't start planning that.. unless you are really into planning in and of itself.

But as soon as you have a boss and the boss asks "how long? who does what? where do we start?" - you have to have some framework.

I also have a very high aversion to "conforming to the system", esp. when these systems seem arbitrary or are overly rigid .. but systems in general need to be simple and flexible. Productivity systems are there to help people.

I don't think the author intended for this to be like a detailed recipe.. but more like an example of how he approaches these things, which can hopefully help others have their own ideas.
> That said I didn't know about that Linux kernel module nvme-tcp. We learn new things every day :) I see that its utility is more for mounting a filesystem over a remote NVMe, rather than accessing it raw with dd.
