I hope that we can agree that the U.S. constitution has important things to say on the questions of speech and privacy.

The first amendment says that "Congress shall make no law... abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press..."

The fourth amendment says that "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated..."

How we accomplish these aims might be subjective, but I would like to think that we agree on these fundamentals.

That doesn't match my intuition about CXL memory. It's latency AFAIK is more similar to accessing NUMA memory on another socket (and applications are OK with blocking on that) than an SSD. So quite a bit faster.

Actual measurements seem to support this: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2303.15375.pdf (see Figure 3)
In the Santa Clara Valley farmers pumped enough water out of the ground in the early 20th century the ground dropped a dozen feet in some areas. Bad thing too is that once an aquifer settles like that it's carrying capacity is permanently reduced.

Also in southern California there is a fair amount of previously productive farm land that is salted up and useless. That'll happen to the north Texas farmers you've mentioned. If they're having to switch crops they have another ten to twenty years and it's all over.

Edit: Even better Jakarta is sinking so bad because of ground water pumping that the government plans to abandon it.
There’s another perspective: even if OP is done, if we shut the door (or let it be shut by companies like Apple) then the currently-young won’t be able to tinker and won’t grow to gain the same knowledge.
YouTube is definitely getting heavier. My early 2021 MacBook Air (Intel) now gets random video pauses under moderate load, something that never used to happen.
Ah yes that is fairly clear, thanks, I was not able to find that. A plausible interpretation is that the kernel still reserves the right to terminate the process at anytime, including immediately after a general protection fault. Still an unexpected behavior, much like the Linux OOM killer.
I imagine it has more to do with the monstrous website design than the tracking scripts. New reddit vs old reddit or desktop reddit vs mobile Reddit shouldn't be that different in terms of tracking. But the newer ones run like ass.
from my perspective, I can just ask ChatGPT to give me code to whatever and it gives it to me. way easier than figuring it out for myself. hell, with openinterpreter, I can just tell my computer to fix my python shit for me. sure, there weren't me frameworks every week,
so knowing C++ and MFC was a sure thing, but it's so much easier today. python points at the character of the exact line of code that's throwing the error. no more spending hours of your life to find a missing semicolon, unless you try using rust (seriously, the difference between OK() and OK(); is material? I mean I understand it now after the fact but ungh).

you can't grep paper books, at best you can look things up in the index. even without ChatGPT I can ask Google and get stack overflow and just copy and paste without having to think deeply within minutes. if I'm just trying to get something out there, why do it the hard way? there's still need for the hard way (eg, I'm currently fighting Ida pro for a thing), but there's just less of a call for that.
You can implement an idiomatic CNN in PyTorch or TF and compare their performance to this implementation. It's a perfectly reasonable comparison.
> For me it's always been about repairability and expandability and Apple has gotten worse in that respect over time.

Apple Plus is amazing, I broke my macbook and they gave me a loner on the spot and I got it back in full working order later.

I wouldn't buy any Apple product without it. Had a similar experience with an iPhone where they just gave me a new one straight up.
Can you comment :

how well does Vulcan api fit Neural Net primitives [ matmul / relu / backprop / tensor arrays ] ?

Also.. do you think the in-browser WebGPU api, the successor to webGL, is a good api for NN ?
It’s not at all like they didn’t have the time or the resources to deal with this.

I think we already saw some of this in particular with the recent bullshit they tried to pull with PWAs in iOS 17.4 that they were hoping to just let things break and were hoping that they could shift the blame and anger towards the EU instead.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_12333

> Executive Order 12333, signed on December 4, 1981 by U.S. President Ronald Reagan, was an executive order intended to extend powers and responsibilities of U.S. intelligence agencies and direct the leaders of U.S. federal agencies to co-operate fully with CIA requests for information. This executive order was titled United States Intelligence Activities.

Drip is used quite a bit in Northern California for higher value crops like tomatoes, but it's too expensive for normal crops. It also seems like a non-starter for smaller scale and poorer farmers in developing nations; that's a lot of CapEx for generally lower value crops.
but what if the thing on the test isn't even the ultimate thing you're trying to do either? there's gotta be some way to assess competence by proxy, no?
I totally get where you are coming from. I still disagree though. By definition, a second order effect is not a direct effect since an intervention after the first order effect can mediate second order effects. All the engineers I've had the pleasure to work with care a lot about outcomes to a reasonable level, somewhere closer to the butterfly flapping wings and further from the monsoon it causes.

The direct effect is lower cost of energy. That it gets used to then pump water continuously is a second-order effect.
Apprenticeship and experience on the job was a long established path to practice law before lsat and law school.
Every time you power on a brand new Mac or iPhone it does this, though I think it is from the Wi-Fi country code (are those in beacon packets)?

iPads with mobile chips definitely do this, even prior to the user setting up their own service.
I am a novice at GIS and mapping but when I got started I thought a map/tile server was the only way to build mapping webapps.

But, in my admittedly simple application PMTiles can cover a lot of my visualization use cases with a thin Django app doing GEOJson for interactive layers.

I use to ask these in interviews without waiting for the answer:

Why do I want to work here? I mean, why do you [still] work here? Or better put, how long have you been working here? Over all that time, you've never looked for anything else? What is it that keeps you here? Comfort? Challenge? Fun coworkers?

If they look sad and say nothing I put my coat back on. The correct response for me is something like: We at acme inc are pushing the frontier of widget manufacturing! Sounds great, I don't care what you pay me, ill start Monday! See you Monday! Are we done?

Then we shake hands, I get up, turn my back towards them and while walking away I stick up my finger and say "push the frontier of widget manufacturing!" as if it is the coolest thing ever.

Monday morning I pick which job I go to.
>causing people to associate the efficiency gain with the architecture even though a lot of it is the silicon process.

They also cause people to associate higher performance with the architecture, when high-performance ARM is something more or less unique to Apple.

Qualcomm (as in, best case for performance that you can actually order a tray of 1000 CPUs from) is several years behind what Apple/Intel/AMD currently offers and as such is simply not competitive with x86 (even in performance/watt); that is one of three reasons why there are very few ARM laptops (the second one is that Qualcomm refuses to do drivers properly, and the third is that their price/performance ratio is positively abysmal). Sure, they're getting better with the acquisition of ex-Apple engineers through Nuvia, but there's still quite a ways to go before they're actually competitive.

ARM isn't a magic "make my computer faster" button; chip designers are doing the heavy lifting for any architecture.
It seems totally plausible that this could have been triggered by the exact things that Niger said.

Just imagine being a national ruler or general and having high level US personnel show up with little notice or coordination and summoning you to a meeting without even bothering to say what it's about.

I'm sure there is a lot more to it than that, but it's easy to imagine that the final straw was just an instance of overt disrespect.

My take on Love – Would love to hear some feedbacks
I would still add that users running out of monthly mobile data volume are still a big issue, likely bigger than slow phones. They can't load most websites with 64 kbit/s, because they are multiple megabytes large, often without good reason.

For example, when Musk took over Twitter, he actually fixed this issue for some time, I tested it. But now they have regressed again. The website will simply not show your timeline on a slow connection. It will show an error message instead. Why would slow connections result in an error message?!

A simple solution that e.g. Facebook (though apparently not Threads) and Google use, is to first load the text content and the (large) images later. But many websites instead don't load anything and just time out. Probably because of overly large dependencies like heavy JavaScript libraries and things like that.
It seems highly unlikely that the macos people don't test anything on the jvm during acceptance. It's even more suspicious that this change didn't happen during the public beta. Is it possible that Apple is firing a warning shot at Java? Even as a huge fan of Hanlon's razor, this seems like such an enormous oversight its hard for me to ascribe it to incompetence.

Most seafood in the US is frozen at some point, regardless of if you are near the coast or not. And, yes, this includes most "fresh" fish, which generally just means recently thawed.

There may be exceptions if it is caught locally and in season, but the vast majority of seafood eaten in the US is not local, no matter how close you are to the coast.
Adding to this population growth in developed economies is projected to plateau then fall. This will reduce the pressure on natural resources needed to sustain the population.

If I wasn't a lazy idiot, I would've made something like this. Been fantasizing about it since forever. Can't wait to check it out!
This argument is deeply depressing to me.

Most days I hope that we (as a planet) get past all those obfuscated vendor lock-ins but over the last decade we’ve watched the, get worse and tighter as they get backed up by lobbied laws. And now I’m worried that you’re 100% right.

But we can still be saved by big ideas. We (modern humans) have done it before. I just hope the seeds of it are already planted.
The library can buy the stuff used and the publishers make nothing off of such sales.

I buy nearly all my books used.
Correct. Law school is a far bigger barrier to “marginalized groups … becoming practicing attorneys” than the bar exam. But law schools are extremely influential in the bar and have hundreds of thousands of reasons to point the figures at the bar exam instead.
If you're that concerned, self-host. It's not too bad with the Ansible script.
You can think of the water as ancient. It's been there for a while and it took a long time to get there.
That’s four intern among those that have heard of it. So cut that in half to get the percentage of the population.

Or another way of thinking of it: among people that have heard of your free-to-use product, a majority haven’t bothered to try it.

The killer feature for me that Slack has over Discord is the ability to hide images, so I'm not stuck being distracted by some random person's obnoxious animated meme.
Requiring an exam is a much better policy than requiring law school. But it would be better to do neither.
Economic efficiency isn't automatic. An obvious example would be slavery in the US, which was a tremendous economic drag for everyone except the slaveholders specifically and still required a civil war to even nominally remove.
Oof not a fun incident, this is my nightmare as someone who works on this type of stuff.

As an aside, GitHub’s security model for apps/integrations is extremely puzzling to reason about and enables a lot of foot guns. Add the fact that it’s very obtuse to audit integrations (especially within an organization) makes them pretty scary to use sometimes.
AppleCare+ has a hard cap and runs out at 3 years.

No matter how great it is, that’s a very short amount of time.
Fantastic work! Extremely neat and clear implementation! Interesting note on the backward pass - what do you think are the main blockers for a backward pass?
And who will build network of hangars for it? Aliens?
Picture a roller coaster where the carts have little steering wheels .. that do nothing. We like to imagine we are in control, but zoomed out we behave quite predictably, chasing that unsustainable growth.

I feel you, and I'm not sure how to explain this to children. How honest should we be? I believe there is no version of this that ends well, we are left with outcomes to our decisions on the spectrum of awful to really awful. There is no arguing with physics.
This looks cool. I don’t know what direction you’re going to take this, but my big challenge with Nextcloud is that the file syncing gets very unreliable in short order. I honestly would love to see someone do something like this with Syncthing as a file management backend. It is honestly the best tool of its kind, and it is extremely fast and reliable.
That's...the point of a law...

Hard truth: running over people you deeply hate with your car isn't ok.
In VT though its really difficult to become a lawyer this way, as an existing judge or lawyer has to be willing to apprentice you and prepare you for the exam. You also still need a 4 year degree to enter the program.

Basically. We all had a pair of shots I'd say. Easy even for strongly concerned folks to have six feet separation between bubbles.
Correct - and either a strawman or nonsequitor.

Someone said "Wow. It's bad they banned cars"

I said "No they didn't. It's good that seedy car dealership, the one that couldn't stop selling armored cars to Al Capone's crew for years, gave up and shut down."

You added "Cars don't kill people. People kill people."
Yeah... won't this make the wealth of each party an even larger factor than it already is in how good of a lawyer they get?
Yup, there are hardcore fans but sports are largely a social event.
> Surely, for example, multiple processors are no help to TeX

But TeX was designed to run on a single CPU-core, so no surprise here. I wonder what TeX could become if all Knuth had at the time a multicore machine with cores managing maybe 0.1 MIPS each (or even lower). Like what the world would become if we lived in a counterfactual world where Intel and its buddies starting in 1970s boosted not the frequency and instruction per second per core but number of cores?

My take we'd switched to functional-style programming at 1980s with immutable data, created tools to describe multistage pipelines with each stage issuing tasks into a queue, while cores concurrently picking tasks from the queue. TeX would probably have a simplified and extra fast parser that could cut input into chunks to feed them into a fullblown and slow parser which would be a first stage of a pipeline, and then these pipelines somehow would converge into an output stream. TeX probably would prefer to use more of lexical scoping, to reduce interaction between chunks, or maybe it would make some kind of a barrier for pipelines where they all stop and wait for propagation of things like `\it` from its occurrence to the end.

This counterfactual world seems much more exciting to me than the real one, though maybe I wouldn't be excited if I lived there.
The Westons are also guilty of price-fixing bread. They agreed to a price-fixing schedule with competition over 14 years with multiple scheduled increases that went through before they were caught.

Beyond the general public, Loblaws has also been found guilty of stealing from their workers. Criminal scum.
Nothing negative about it. They're objectively bad. If I was insulting artistic talents, if he had done them himself, then I could see hurt feelings. These were done by algorithm. The author didn't create them. He wrote code that did so. As I already said, if he continues, some insight might shake out.

You're all poorer for seeing negativity where none exists. You don't even realize you're doing it, do you?
The punched card reference is most apt for COBOL, reason being the formatting and those limits dictated the column restrictions - hence COBOL historically had 80 columns max, and code sure does legacy when it's that mature.
I was curious about the differences, so I found a copy of the story online.[1] (Warning PDF)

I find the idea of "variational principle" in physics interesting.

That’s how MS works which leads to compatibility, but less stability. Historically with Apple, it’s their way or the highway. Less compatibility, but the OS is more stable.
Agreed, writing a core system component that isn't going to change and be called from thousands of different places? By all means heavily test and fuzz and cover the entire API surface. Writing some product feature that is probably going to be changed 1000 times and is at the edge of the system, waste of time. You'd be better off just having really good metrics and alerting for system degradation that measure actual business metrics, staggered canary roll outs, and easy rollbacks.
Fair enough, and no I didn't mean to impinge time is worthless. It's not the value of time that changes, but the amount of it you have.

In a work context a shortage of time (more customers than you can handle) means you need to discriminate, which means you can't make everyone happy. Which usually means differentiating based on value. (Aka, you get more expensive. )

For personal time you also become more discerning. Spend time with spouse, or build another computer, or lie under a car etc. Life has more demands, so there are more choices.

Incidentally, one of those choices is to work less.

The tinkering never goes away, but I prefer to tinker in profitable areas now. (I get to tinker for work.)
No. Oracle will not fix jre8 because it's too old. Oracle will not fix corretto jre, because it's not theirs.

Free State of Florida keeps getting freer.
I've always wondered why people removed parts of the page when they were scrolled out. Like, don't you think the browser would already optimize for that? And even if it's not stored in the DOM, it's still being stored in the JavaScript's memory. It's frustrating when people try to reimplement optimizations that the browser already does better.
This guy built a house entirely alone after his old one burned down. He has a timelapse of the entire process and the costs along the way. He spent 120k in Europe. It's possible to do it for cheaper, but you have the hard hard work yourself. This is somewhat modest home, and probably near the limit of what is feasible to do by yourself. And this guy has carpentry skills most people would not have.

Exactly. Also for that half dozen successes listed before, there could have been thousands of options available at the time that only look silly in retrospect.
When websites pack in too many high-res images, videos, and complex scripts, it’s like they’re trying to cram that overstuffed suitcase into a tiny space. Your device is struggling, man. It’s like it’s running a marathon with a backpack full of bricks.

So, what happens? Your device slows down to a crawl, pages take forever to load, and sometimes, it just gives up and crashes. It’s like being stuck in traffic when you’re already late for work. And let’s not even talk about the data usage. It’s like your phone’s eating through your data plan like it’s an all-you-can-eat buffet.

Now, if you’re on the latest and greatest tech, you might not notice much. But for folks with older devices or slower connections, it’s a real pain. It’s like everyone else is zooming by on a high-speed train while you’re chugging along on a steam engine.

So, what can we do? Well, we can start by being mindful of what we put on our websites. Keep it lean, mean, and clean, folks. Your users will thank you, and their devices will too. And hey, maybe we’ll all get where we’re going a little faster.
Disagree, IAAL and they should both eliminate the bar exam and the law school requirements. We need more lawyers subject to background checks and swearing an oath to act ethically. There’s an ethics test called the MPRE that should stay.

We need more lawyers bc imo the biggest need with AI is trust and safety, and that’s something humans must decide for ourselves in perpetuity, we need as many diverse voices as possible to ensure equity for everyone.
I don't know about "many", but there are some.

How do you reach a commercial audience without being anchored to a big tower?
The article is a bit confusing. VPN encrypts traffic between IoT and user’s devices. It doesn’t encrypt traffic between IoT devices and internet. Also, the traffic is usually encrypted with TLS. What the article had to say, IoT devices are particularly vulnerable to attacks if ports are open. Tailscale allows accessing them without exposing them.

A mesh VPN can be risky because every device is connected to every other device by default. So, once the weakest machine is hacked, the attacker can connect to any other device. Sure, you can use ACLs, but that has a learning curve, and I doubt people do that.
Pollyvote
i do believe there is a certain responsibility a lawyer swears to ethically uphold and maintain toward lay society which justifiably warrants some reasonable evaluation of the degree to which the candidate is able to comprehend and/or adhere to that oath. an academic degree, an exam, and a professional license application are certainly valid ways to do that.

are you suggesting only the fitness and character assessment should be necessary? or do you disagree with that requirement as well?
It will do nothing of the sort. People with no bar exam will not get jobs at reputable firms. People who do not possess the capability to pass the bar exam will not have the chops necessary to earn a decent living.
