LLMs are already being stripped of their "magic" by AI safety efforts.

This will only limit them further until they are nothing more than a fancy API endpoint, almost like the "old" APIs but consuming 1000x more energy.

I bet these "standards of care for secure software development" will demand a very deterministic API be put in front of the LLMs to ensure only approved output passes through. At which point I question the useful of such a solution.

This would make more sense if people didn't need to work to continue living. As it stands, if people get into a dire enough situation they will be forced to take work on whatever terms the company wants to offer. The reason these laws exist is to protect workers from being forced into terrible situations for a company's benefit.

Of course, the service is voluntary, but for many people the options are "work for pennies or live on the street" -- that's hardly an unforced choice. Why should the state subsidize Uber's profits, given that the state will be the one to support people who end up in poverty?

I don’t get how you can make bicycling your only form of transportation, even if the bike travel infrastructure and parking is adequate. When I bicycle, even for a short amount of time like 15 minutes, I sweat, and end up a stinky wet mess at my destination. Especially in the summer. My shoes and pants get dirty from the road and my hair gets wet and messed up especially if it’s raining. So if I’m going anywhere with even a moderate expectation of personal hygiene, I need to 1. Make sure there is a shower at my destination, 2. Haul a change of clothes with me (necessitating a backpack or bag), 3. Hang on to my dirty sweaty clothes in that bag the whole time. Fine if I’m commuting to work where they have a shower and storage. What about going to a restaurant or business meeting or a museum or an appointment with a professional? I honestly don’t know but there are so many cities where people bike everywhere so there must be a solution.

EDIT: ok, ok, I guess e-bikes it is. Still there are cities like Copenhagen and Amsterdam where everyone bikes everywhere and they don’t all have e-bikes. Do they just bring multiple changes of clothes everywhere?
Done properly (I know…) autonomous vehicles could be a godsend for cycling in the US. If vehicles behaved properly you wouldn't theoretically need cycling infrastructure at all – the dream of vehicular cycling would actually start working and you could share the road anywhere.

Well, dark matter got its name because we couldn't find direct observation. It's just a nickname for «unexplained gravitational effect from invisible source», the closest explanation we have is non-radiating matter.

Title is misleading... the source Le Monde article states that use of certain bicycle paths has doubled (or tripled) in certain places, as investment has gone into improving these paths.

That's great, but kind of obvious that if you build out dedicated bike lanes, cyclists are more likely to prefer them to alternate routes.
Not the person you are replying to but I keep email on a tiny VPS for a few domains mostly for things that are behind an email-wall. Not quite throw-away but I control the access, logs, limits, etc... I set up FCrDNS+SPF+DMARC but no DKIM on those. Nowadays if people create new VPS accounts they will have to open a ticket to get port 25 outbound opened up. It's a per account basis on many VPS providers now and requires agreeing to not abuse it or lose the account.

There are only three businesses that have ever blocked email from or to me and two of them were cellular service providers. They all appear to use the same anti-fraud service. [Edit: and Tractor Supply]. I use that when I want to email someone that I am certain will abuse my email address or domain or if I want to receive a massive file or set of files from someone. That keeps the noise off Fastmail which I also use, mostly for family and business related stuff. With Fastmail I pull the emails off the server as fast as I can using Thunderbird in the event they get popped by citizen or government attackers such as the AU government should they do mass surveillance some day. Fastmail is under AU jurisdiction. As a side note, Thunderbird makes PGP encrypting emails trivial.

Another nifty thing one can do on their own mail server is pin TLS certs of specific people or businesses to see if something has changed. Not everyone would need this but monitoring certs with bash+openssl is super easy. It's useful for fringe cases.
> No, discontinuing depreciation is not a universal human trait. You bet that when I drive for work I expense the depreciation on my car.

The fact that you're allowed to expense your car's deprecation indicates that this is not a long-term externality for you. Of course people take advantage of reimbursements available to them; the fact that none applies here is the thing being discussed.

Again: being "worth his or her salt" reveals the point here: the point of a minimum wage is to ensure that people who aren't financially literate are, in theory, afforded a baseline quality of life. It's fine if we don't agree about the civic value of that, but that's what it boils down to: not punishing people with a life of privation for not having the skills, means, or anything else that others have.

One big issue with hybrid is that you lose optionality because you no longer can live far from the office:

- You can't live far away from the office

- You can't take some weeks/months to work from abroad

- You lose flexibility on your schedule when in the office

Of course no approach is perfect but I personally wouldn't say hybrid is a nice balance, it's better than going to the office every day but nowhere near as being 100% remote.

First of all, most database records couldn't fit child porn, unless it was somehow encoded across thousands of records, in which case you couldn't realize it was child porn until after you've stored 99% of it.

Sure though, by putting "child porn" in a sentence, you can make anything seem bad. Tell me this, would you rather your application middleware was in the "copying child porn" business? ;-)

Actually, the more I think about it, the crazier this seems. You're going to store all the "child porn" you receive in RAM until you've validated that it is child porn?

> While its true that compared to 10 years ago cycling is much better served by the infrastructure, there are still large challenges ahead

It takes decades (emphases on plural) in most places. Having seen it happen to my hometown from the start of the '90s until about halfway though the '10s as an example. And that was with a head start since in some places it was already done well. And that was in the often mentioned cyclist's Valhalla.
If you browse around pet forums, or go wild with Google, you'll find all sorts of anecdotal reports of people who claim their pets died (with all sorts of terrifying symptoms etc) soon after taking these kinds of drugs.

Take from that what you want. It's anecdotal and non-scientific. But it concerns me enough that we keep our dogs on Nexgard only during the peak of tick season and not year round like the vets seem to want to push.

There are also known genetic differences in dogs that cause some to find various anti-parasiticals (esp heartworm) to be toxic to some herding breeds (border collies, aus. sheperds). We had our border collies tested for this before putting them on medications. (https://vcacanada.com/know-your-pet/multidrug-resistance-mut...)

That said, genetic diversity is higher in dogs than it is in humans.

Re training materials, this is one of the mitigations we launched to attempt to pull security to front of mind. I do not really think this is a Firebase problem, I think average developers (or average business leaders) just don't, in general, think much about security. As a result, Firebase materials have a triple burden - they need to get you to think about security, they need to get you to disrupt the most "productive" flow to write rules, and they need to get you to consistently revisit your rules throughout development. This is a lot to get into someone's head.

For all the awesomeness of Firebase's databases, they're both ripe footgun territory (Realtime Database specifically). Our original goal was to make the easiest database to get up and running with, which I think we did, but that initial ease comes with costs down the road which may or may not be worth it, that's a decision for the consumer.

I technically started programming in the late 80s but I was just a kid messing around with BASIC making games.

I got my first job making websites in 98? Somewhere around there. So 2018 was when I reached 20 years, professionally.

I was making websites before then. I was at a hobbyist convention with my grandfather when I first saw the Mosaic demo that showed off the new image tag.
The title of you post if "Return To Office Mandates suck". The website clearly states a lot of reasons while you might not like RTO. In the form, there are options to indicate that you like the RTO mandate: "FEELINGS ABOUT MANDATORY WFO", default answer; very angry face; possible options include, "fuck you", "crying", "lol", "grin" and at the bottom "happy face" and "angel" (whatever the difference).

What's the purpose of this data collection ? Please don't tell me that you will use the data collected this way as any kind of "analysis" on how people feel about RTO. It feels like you are trying to create an echo chamber for your own views on the issue, yet you are including options to give some illusion that you are willing to accept the opposite side views.

Since you asked for suggestions; you should either ackowledge that your goals are to gather testimonies of people who do not like RTO, and then it makes no sense to let them indicate they like it. Or you are actually trying to get objective data on the issue and you need to fully rework the website, how you advertise it, and work even harder to put your own bias aside.

Right now it feels we are going to get a post in 3 months explaining that according to your research 97% of the people dot not like RTO. And that's going to be presented with some nice graphs and analysis, possibly even opening the data, as if it was the guarantee of a faire and unbiased study.

> A continental sized country at a time when transportation was still limited that used a gold standard satisfies the condition of "implemented Austrian economic principles".

Merely having a gold standard in a nationally regulated currency where contracts in that jurisdiction must accept payment in that currency in order to be enforceable is not an implementation of Austrian economic principles.

> They were implemented in the same way one says that communism has been tried and it failed.

You say the examples of AE implementation are overwhelmingly numerous, you give one extremely dubious example of a single superficial similarity to back that up. Can you even point to a single country that claimed to be implementing Austrian Economics? I can point to any number of places that claimed to be Keynesian or Communist, and even one or two that were giving Friedman a try but no Austrians. Your comparison to Communism are nonsense.
hahaha funny

Let me tell you a story - a company was using AI for invoice processing, and it misread a comma for a dot, so they sent a payment 1000x larger than expected, all automated of course because they were very modern. The result? they went bankrupt. "Bankrupted by AI error" might become a thing
The answer is probably just a lot (most?) people don't sweat as much as you do. It's a solution that works for many but not all. There's also a huge uptake for ebikes, which remove a lot of the exertion component.

As an aside, when I started cycling I sweat a lot more than I do now. It is a mild form of exercise, after all. Once you get used to it, cycling at a leisurely pace takes less energy than walking.
It doesn't even think about things while it waits on you to prompt it. And when you prompt it, it doesn't have any awareness of intent. It simply sends your prompt into the vast latent space represented by it's weights and returns the first thing that comes up as most probable to be related.
I personally would like to see less Trello and more Pivotal Tracker. Especially now that they've changed their pricing model.
There is also a somewhat amusing argument that cycling does not waste your time. you get every hour cycled back as hour added to your expected lifetime:

That sounds like a fitness issue. Millions of people cycle everywhere in Netherlands, in regular clothes, without needing showers in between.
An e-bike changes this math considerably.

You get:

1. Faster trip, so less time to sweat

2. Faster speed, so more cooling, so less sweating overall.

3. Less exertion, so less generated heat by body.

Although if you live in a hot AND humid climate, I'm afraid there's just not much you can do. There are physical limits after all.

yep, my mental health was awful when I was fully remote. Now I'm hybrid, I have really been able to increase my quality of life drastically. I'm so happy I found a mandatory hybrid job with a nice office culture. I was so worried that things would never stop being fully remote after covid. I could not have gone on living in a world like that. I think fully remote work is only long-term emotionally healthy for older people with families, and is stunting and isolating for younger people, especially those just starting out. People who love remote work seem to forget that maybe not everyone is mentally adjusted in the way they are. When I don't have an imperative to leave my house I slowly stop functioning. Just switching from remote to hybrid created instant improvement.
To add to this.

I was going through devin's 'pass' diffs from SWE bench.

Every one I ended up tracing to actual issues caused changes that would reduce maintainablity or introduced potential side effects.

I think it may be useful as a suggestion in a red-green-refactor model, but will end up producing hard to maintain and modify code.

The city started during the pandemic and has moved toward making these bike lanes more permanent. There is also a deep dissatisfaction with public transportation here. While comprehensive throughout the entirety of the Paris metropolitan, it is expensive, unreliable (especially the regional RER trains that connect the inner city to suburbs and vital for commuters), often filthy, and at times unsafe (depending on the line). The other issue is the traffic above ground. I've heard reports that there are fewer cars, but it doesn't feel this way. If anything, there are more delivery trucks.

So while infrastructure investment has helped (not to mention some nice tax write-offs and discounts on e-bikes), there are some other issues here. I like bikeable Paris a lot, but the ecological goals of this city's mayor demand much more investment in the city and regional authority's mass transit. It is unreasonable to expect commuters to bike in from many kilometers away. Biking inside Paris upon arrival should be the desired end result. Ultimately to get the cars off the roads, people need to feel good on mass transit so that they want to use it more than a car, and the impression I have right now is that many people are biking because it's better than sweating in filthy, delayed trains.

To that effect, riding a bike is and should be a delight -- not a mere alternative to defunct metro transit, but I know many who are terrorized or disgruntledby biking in Paris. To solve this intractable issue of getting more riders, cars have to be removed from the streets which need to be progressively closed to make room for more bike infrastructure. These kinds of plans well face strident criticism and backlash from the suburbanite commuters. In that vein, I am totally for the Grand Paris Express plan. Make Paris great for Parisians again!

I think the key here is mostly to go slow. Right now,if I'm bike commuting I need to keep up with cars or risk getting rear ended or tailgated or shouted at. Setting things up so you don't have to worry about cars while on your bike means you can bike at a more reasonable speed instead of 25mph.

I was fortunate that Knuth wrote a book on a topic which I have studied deeply, _Digital Typography_:

https://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/dt.html

My correction is for pg. 33, and there was a minor point of improvement which I can't find.
In the later chapters of The Power Broker, there are stories of transit advocates and driving advocates begging Robert Moses to preserve right of way for transit when building the Van Wyck Expressway and the Long Island Expressway. The expected traffic demand (~9k cars/hr) the day they opened was far beyond the capacity (1500 cars/hour/lane * 3 lanes). A transit line takes about the same space as one traffic lane, with a capacity of 30-40k/hour. Without provision for transit, the road wouldn't even be a good road for drivers, because everyone with no choice but to drive would overcrowd the road and create the congestion the road was supposed to alleviate.

This is setting aside all other considerations - urban design, air pollution, land and property value, tax revenue, health, neighborhood cohesion, etc. Roads without provision for transit and non-motorized travel don't even do the job of a road well.
