>Last March, Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Dick Durbin, D-Ill., sent letters to gaming companies Valve, Activision Blizzard, Epic Games, Riot Games, Roblox Corp, and Take-Two Interactive demanding that they take actions to police gamers.

>“Unlike more traditional social media companies — which in recent years have developed public facing policies addressing extremism, created trust and public safety teams, and released transparency reports — online gaming platforms generally have not utilized these tools,” Durbin wrote in a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland. In the letter, Durbin requested a briefing from the Justice Department on what channels exist “for DOJ and the online video game industry to communicate and coordinate” on the threat of “online video games by extremists and other malicious actors.”

ten years ago, this would read like satire.
You can sandbox native apps too. Hell, even run them in an airgapped virtual machine.

I wouldn't trust a browser sandbox all that much given the high interest in subverting it.
Understood, and perhaps the difference here is more about what I said in my other comment. I don't see this as particularly useful, and I see it as deceptive. What matters is that when we intend to do something is that it happens. We actually want retries. We want exactly-once processing with at-least-once handling. That's the only way that I know of to build resilient systems.

Our back end components literally crash when they fail. No other processing is done. They crash and if there is a bug they will keep crashing. Because our back end components have autonomy, this results in a very narrow service disruption. We fix the issue, identify the root cause and eliminate it. As a result, we have extremely resilient systems that, even in the face of 3rd party downtimes, we can know that every command that gets submitted will be effected. Dead letter queues or anything of the sort are anathema. We try until we succeed. Idempotence is considered in every single handler all the way from the inside to the outside as it must be, mathematically.
It is great to see the state secret police working so closely with large corporations. It is so efficient and effective that it is almost like a different model of government.
Yes, telemetry too! And automatic updates. They are all symptoms of companies’ obsession with having some kind of ongoing post-purchase “relationship” with their users. As a user, I don’t want this relationship! I just want to buy the tool and use it, without ever interacting with the manufacturer ever again.

If I buy a circular saw, I don’t want a relationship with Makita. I don’t want to have to log in to use it. I don’t want it telling Makita how many boards I cut and how well the saw is working. No offense, but I’m just not that into you, Manufacturer.
Anti-vax is a meme, but so is anti-anti-vax.
In theory, yes i would agree that they might be a different somewhere. But it's not clear (at least to me that) is this distinction maters in practice.

I think the main point here would that a thunk is also a value. And most type system can already express "a computation which return Type X" by a value of type "() -> X". Adding side effect annotation, it seems to be that a pure function of type "() -> X" gives you very close to the same semantic.

It's also unclear to me that one should want to allow both value and computation producing values to be used interchangeably. If the goal of CBPV is about better performance, then being able to mix and match both "kind" of value is probably not wise (at least without good compiler error messages), same as mixing type of values would break a type system.
Goods are not all equals. Housing is not Food.

I guess it’s my turn to point out the lignin indigestibility hypothesis is no longer current and indeed has been disputed since the 1990’s.

>To form coal you need two basic conditions: wet tropics and a hole to bury organic matter in for a long period of time,” Boyce says. During the formation of Pangea, collisions between continents raised mountain ranges while downwarping adjacent crust, which created massive basins. These basins became ideal depositories for wet organic plant matter, which was buried, compressed and cooked over geologic time to form coal. Similar conditions likely also produced coal deposits during the Mesozoic Era, and the Paleocene and Eocene epochs, often in conjunction with mountain-building episodes such as the formation of the Rocky Mountains.
Sounds like an engineering problem, not a fundamental one.
Good thing it's open source. Money being involved, I don't have long term hopes for it's openness.

> For example in GCP pub/sub you can have a "subscriber" that is not pulling events off the queue but instead is an http endpoint where events are pushed to.

That just means that there's a lightweight worker that does the HTTP POST to your "subscriber". With retries etc, just like it's done here.

First of all, you are correct that nonlinear optics usually requires high field strengths. But...

>Photons are bosons and therefore are very reluctant to interact, essentially requiring nonlinearities.

Please don't throw out random sciency terms. First of all, interaction is pretty much by definition nonlinear. Second, photons are not reluctant to interact. Photon-photon scattering is negligible (which has nothing to do with them being bosons, as gluons and mesons readily demonstrate), but nonlinear optics doesn't rely on photon-photon scattering.

Also in Turkish. "Canım ciğerim" (my beloved, my liver) is a term of friendly affection. Also when we want to say something like "I know what kind of person you are and what you are up to!" we say "ciğerini bilirim" which literally means "I know your liver" / "I know how your liver is like". One more: "ciğersiz" (liverless) is an insult for a person who wrongs you, schemes behind you, does not help you when you are in need, ungrateful etc.

Scary to see this censorship still goes on, even now, at this latter stage, where the studies on myocarditis are numerous and no longer debunked.

The censorship was even worse during the initial rollout of mRNA technology, blocking fair scrutiny of a widespread rollout.

Proper scientific scrutiny and debate is vital around novel technologies. Particularly novel MEDICAL technologies. And particularly where governments are mandating that the technology is administered to whole populations.
> What makes an mRNA vaccine more appealing than a protein-based one?

Having worked on the same targeting mechanisms for protein based vaccines meant to be personalized cancer therapies, and having followed the mRNA vaccines with envy, the benefits are absolutely massive. But there's not a single alternative. In comparison to each type:

Short peptides injection are worse because: minimal immune stimulation, less of a mechanism to train the immune system on the peptide targets, have not been effective.

Viral delivery of mRNA, that makes proteins, or more exotic methods like yeast with modified genomes: this is a traditional vaccine with a custom viral genome with the peptides of interest added as part of the viral genome. This is not directly a protein virus, but it does make the cells it infects produce the peptides. This requires cell culture to grow the virus, which requires a unique clean room per vaccine, which can be impractical and expensive for a custom virus. It's also very very slow to produce, QC, and make sure it's safe. mRNA production is faster, cleaner, safer, just all around better in every possible way.

As for your other questions, sure they are interesting, but get ready to gear up and read tooooons of literature. Most people don't have any of these questions unless they have a deep distrust of the technology, and don't trust that others have bothered to investigate.

Skepticism is good, and if you are truly curious I really applaud you and encourage you to pick up an immunology text book so that you can also read and understand the papers. But mRNA vaccine skepticism has to be the stupidest "skepticism" and falsehoods I have ever seen of a new technology. As the competitor to what I was working on, I must concede that it's better on all metrics, and I am kind of saddened for humanity that all these lies about mRNA seem to dominate over the true and huge technological advancement that has occurred.
That’s what Harbor Freight is great for if you’re in the States. They have little milling machines and lots of cheap tools that work well for one-off stuff, at least.

Was lucky to take an engineering machining class in college and got to use a lathe and mill, am more of a welder now. The definition of a “tool” is pretty loose but lots of small things can be made with just a cheap stick welder and grinder.

The origin of this meaning is very similar, but hati means either heart or liver depending on the context. With heart probably being a more common way that it is used.
But why is it not mentioned that open-source software is usually things that the developers themselves use in their life for productivity or otherwise. For example, useful browser add-ons like TST or Sidebery. God knows how many cool things (scripts, programs) people use in their personal lives (that they don't get paid for) that they could "open-source" and share with the world and synergistically build to even greater heights. I guess it takes some work to make it modular enough for the public...
> They seem to have used a delay line, which is very slow; you have to wait for the bits you want to come around.

Macroscopic delay lines sure, but microscopic ones presumably can be on the order of a wavelength, if that's all that's needed. Not much time needed to come around in that case.
What makes it more appealing is that you can change the mRNA sequence and change the proteins that are created, meaning you can make arbitrary proteins. Traditional vaccines are far less flexible like that since the process to create proteins has more steps
Following flight plan and ensuring the plane doesn't crash is already a great deadman switch for a plane mid flight !

It doesn't have to stop the plane, it could just trigger a cockpit alarm.
Just for context, on public safety/mil radios the user usually can't manage key material from within the UI of the radio: there's literally a distinct piece of hardware called a keyloader that's required to do it, e.g. https://www.motorolasolutions.com/en_us/products/p25-product... (or https://github.com/KFDtool/KFDtool if you're cool). Individual people in the field usually don't have this hardware. I think the poster you're replying to is suggesting in a roundabout manner a way for a user, knowing their radio is about to be compromised, to zero the keys without one of these boxes. It's been a while since I last dug around in cps astro, but istr that being a thing you could set up.
Easy:

Sketch, Rogue Amoeba apps, Panic, etc. plenty of Mac-only businesses. They make decent money. As Mac users actually tend to pay for their software rather than expecting everything to be free.

If you released the same software for the same price on Windows, not only would it be more difficult to develop (due to Windows lacking the same abstractions as macOS), you'd probably have way less users, as Windows users don't typically buy apps like this.

The socialized medicine systems don't have infinite money just like private health systems don't; if they can't negotiate a cheaper price for the medicine they won't purchase it.

Not sure what gives you that idea. It seems unlikely that there are materials that can withstand billions of x-ray pulses per second and continue to function without being altered. They might exist, but the higher the energy to get to low wavelengths for fast and information dense computing, the increasingly implausible it gets that a suitable material is physically possible.

It's not that hard, in patients with cancer, it's very common for the immune system to go after the cancer specific mutations, until the cancer learns to express the cell-surface checkpoints that deactivate the immune system.

Its extremely rare (or at least I have not heard of it) to develop auto-immune activity during the course of cancer.

T-cell receptors that recogize HLA-bound epitopes tend to be extremely specific, and rarely go after other parts of the body. There's nothing special about cancer in this regard.
Currently everyone who chats with me cannot see my phone number — even people who have my phone number saved in their phone (I was surprised as I thought it would still show this if they had it saved). There is a setting to entirely hide your phone number from everyone.
Or alert air traffic control, and maybe they can send an alert into the cockpit. But there must be a way to raise an alarm.

My guess is basically nobody cares that much about this rare condition. It's much more likely the pilots are incapacitated rather than asleep, in which case the alarm is pointless.

But I guess it's not that rare:

> Why is it that mass immigration doesn't increase rents across the rental market?

... it does? Or at least it can. Not on its own, but it's a contributing factor. An influx of demand without an increase of supply, in a market with an already-low vacancy rate, will of course increase rents.
> The idea is that, instead of being a bunch of gates like an FPGA, the components of the CGRA are at the scale of an ALU, or maybe an on-silicon network switch, with a single CGRA having different parts that are optimized for e.g. numerics, IO, encryption, caching, etc., which you can knit together into the processor you need.

What the other guy said downthread, but seriously.

Xilinx FPGAs today do have LUTs (the 4-input or 6-input gate-like structures). But they also have VLIW + SIMD cores with L1 connected on powerful interconnect.

https://www.xilinx.com/products/technology/ai-engine.html

So CGRAs is probably "just" a modern Xilinx "AI Engine" FPGA.

-------------------

Major FPGAs for the last 10+ years have all had hardware multipliers as well. Multiplication is just one of those ASIC / hardware units that LUTs cannot emulate very well. Depending on your definition of "Coarse-grained reconfigurable arrays", you might want to look into DSP-slices and other "ALU-like" subunits of FPGAs of the last decade.

Milk thistle is the historical one. NAC is the modern one.
Not in the slightest.

Generating a snippet, or even entire blocks, of code is not a good metric on which to base the quality of LLMs.

Rather, we should pay attention to how good is an LLM at altering, editing, maintaining code? In practice, it's quite poor. And not in the way that a new developer is poor, but in weird and uncertain and unpredictable ways, or in ways that it fixed in the last prompt but broke in the new prompt.

Engineers spend little time writing code compared to the amount of time they spend thinking and designing and buildings systems for that code to operate in. LLMs are terrible at systems.

"Systems" implies layers, and layers implies constraints, and constraints implies specificity, and specificity is not a strong suit of an LLM.

The systems in which most code is written is not written once and never touched again. Instead, it passes through many layers (automated and manual) to reach some arbitrary level of correctness across many vectors, in many contexts, some digital and some not. LLMs are passable at solving problems of one, maybe two, layers of complexity as long as all the context is digitized first.

Lastly, not all problems have a technical solution. In fact, creating a technical solution for a non-technical problem so that we can apply an LLM to it will only cause layers of unnecessary abstraction that locks out "normal" people from participating in the solution.

And we may not like to admit it, but we engineers often have work to do for a job we like for pay that's pretty good, only because there are a whole lot of non-programmers out there solving the non-technical problems that we don't want to do.
