Most of US debt is owed to US people's. Primarily, social security. Are we just going to be screwed in retirement?

China holds a small part of the debt, in treasuring bonds that they can roll over or not into new T-bills. It is more about keeping dollars from heating up their market than a need to lend money. They can simply stop doing that if the Americans decide they don't want to honor T-bills anymore, but I'm not sure what that gets us?
“the skill to stop being angry”

Often that amounts to changing the people or circumstances in one’s life. That’s the point of therapy. A good therapist wouldn’t help a sexually abused child stay in a bad situation and just learn to suppress emotion. Well maybe a cbt therapist would. But a good therapist would try to help catalyze a change in the situation causing the trauma.
I appreciate you pointing this out. If we force someone to listen to our anger, we can see it as abuse. If we force someone to suppress their anger, we can see it as normal. It's almost as if we might normalize suppression and demonize expression.

And it's not just anger. If I want to express verbal affection towards someone and they don't want to hear it, we often call it abuse. But if they want me to suppress verbal affection towards them and I don't want to, we celebrate it as them having boundaries.

And I think sometimes being forced to not say something can hurt as much as being forced to hear something, yet we don't seem to see how it harms people.
No, I'm not making stuff up, and yes, it's weird.

But: if you die, and nobody is around to eulogize you, would you rather be completely forgotten, or have a total stranger think about what happened to you and make a short-and-ultimately-meaningless speech accordingly?

For me, it's the latter, but then, I'm biased :)
Why not allow forgiveness for the only debt in the entire US that legally cannot be discharged through bankruptcy? As a homeowner I can discharge all of my debt in bankruptcy with the consent of a court, but if I spend $20,000 on a degree at the start of my life I must forever be in service of that debt. If you're anti-loan-forgiveness then you need to allow people to discharge these things in bankruptcy.

You could acquaint yourself with the timeline of WebHID.

Google presented a "spec" that wasn't even a spec. They were asked to create a better spec. Instead they just shipped WebHID, and several months later dumped several hundred pages of specifications saying "there".

Whatever your position on hardware standards are, this is not how standards are presented.

Edit: the status of WebHID is literally "not a W3C Standard nor is it on the W3C Standards Track." and it's current state is barely above "scratched on a napkin". But Google couldn't care less

It seems automattic is realizing that there is value in being "the established service that does what the giants are doing but isn't the giants". Personally and I think the HN crowd would agree with me, I see the value proposition in using Tumblr, beeper, WordPress over their competitors, simply because automattic has amassed a lot of consumer trust in not running things into the ground and making interesting things out of software that seems like it shouldn't be there.
You mean the other chat apps, right? Or do they do something other than chat as well?

In any case I'm not sure if I'd call their iMessage thing a PR stunt (okay, the tweets were likely PR), I'm just happy they support as many standards as they can. (I'm also not sure if my original comment was seen as wrong or controversial judging by the downvote)

At which point, I had a few more back and forth emails (looks like about 27 from 7/2/2021 - 7/16/2021), and finally gave up.

Oh, good point. I guess it depends on your usecase. I was thinking from the angle of not trusting premade network cards but trusting your USB chips.... which now that you point out, is also not a given. Maybe bare serial (just a wire per tx/rx), but it suddenly occurs to me that I don't know how that's actually connected to the CPU, and I think that approaching this from a security angle is a quick road to madness. OTOH... connecting a microcontroller to serial probably is the simplest option and as an engineering exercise is perfectly reasonable, if not exactly fast, but hey it's not like this was ever going to be performant.

What's hard to understand about hot boxing a train?

One of my more memorable experiences on the LA Metro was walking into a train that smelled like 100% bona fide human fecal matter. As in, there is almost no way that if you went looking you would not have found a huge pile of it in some corner. Naturally, everybody went about their day acting like nothing was wrong. Except for one guy, who pulled out a huge blunt and just started huffing and puffing on it until eventually the weed was on-par with the shit, and later ended up totally overpowering it.

I personally prefer not to involve myself with weed, but there's no denying it's a better experience than huffing literal shit.

Well, it's kind to their relatives. Not to the person in question, given they're dead. The theory here is that the dead person is looking down from above?

No, "feel better" is definitely not what myself (nor anyone else involved in this program, as far as I'm aware) is trying to achieve here.

I know that a deceased person doesn't care about pretty much anything. Yet, that doesn't preclude me from caring about them, does it?
Writing a Web-First Resumé
The best models may be owned (and perhaps somehow patented) by some large medical company like Merck or Stryker.

I always have a side project or two going on, and I think it would be a neat side project, but I would need a LOT of pictures of people’s moles to train a >95% accurate model to detect cancer. I’m not sure how one would go about getting that unless they work for a hospital or large health company, and obviously they’d frown upon stealing their images for a side project.
It's refreshing to read something about ML and inference and have it not be anything related to a transformer architecture sending up fruit growing from a huge heap of rotten, unknown, mostly irrelevant data. With traditional ML, it's useful to talk about the sources of bias and error, and even measure some of them. You can do things that improve them without starting over on everything else.

With LLMs, it's more like you buy a large pancake machine that you dump all of your compost into (and you suspect the installers might have hooked up to your sewage line as input too). It triples your electricity bill, it makes bizarre screeching noises as it runs, you haven't seen your cat in a week, but at the end out come some damn fine pancakes.

I apologize. I'm talking about the thing that I was saying was a relief to be not talking about.
And maybe it does lead to fights when it's let out but little and contextually appropriate fights, and then the people dig deeper and gain a better understanding of their situations.

Anger can tell people that we want them to stop doing an activity and sometimes people don't even know their behavior is breaching those boundaries. One time an ex visited me in a park. I juggled the soccer ball then kicked it to her. She rolled it back and said she didn't want to play. I juggled it for 15 more minutes and then kicked it to her again. She stood up and kicked it with me for like 5 minutes.

Three weeks later, she got angry and said "And you don't respect my boundaries!" And I was really confused. She said, "I TOLD you I didn't want to kick the ball and you still kicked it to me."

I wished she had expressed more anger when I kicked it the second time. I wasn't trying to make her angry. Kicking the ball with her wasn't that important to me. I just didn't know that it bothered her that much and if I did, I immediately would have stopped.
Ya if my reading is correct this is the poor man's covering index: if all the requested data is in the index key the query will not hit the table, so you can add additional fields at the end of the key to get index-only scans (at a cost, also some flexibility cost e.g. doesn't work with unique indexes).

I guess it's less of an issue in sqlite than in databases with richer datatypes in the sense that all datatypes are ordered and thus indexable.

Totally agree, and I’d go further to say that the reason we don’t want to go near anger as a society is because we don’t know how to grieve. To tap into grief means allowing people to need resources like time and human attention that we’ve over leveraged into economic activity.

Yes, it mentioned Texts and Beeper teams will be merging under the Beeper brand. So essentially the end of Texts. Presumably will bring some parts of Texts app to Beeper that doesn't exist, but overall glad I abandoned Texts little while back, since while loved the idea, was very buggy with notifications delayed, or sometimes unable to send certain types of messages through certain services etc. And no pathway at the time for support on iOS. With all the EU stuff, there is a chance maybe people will be forced to open up more as would love to have a single app to manage all messaging but certainly far from hopeful that will come to be, at least without downsides.

> Lists pass by reference, tuples pass by value, if you want to understand Python you're just going to have to get used to that distinction.

Is that true? I haven't looked at the implementation so I can't say it's impossible, but it would be extremely surprising to me if tuples passed by value, because tuples longer than the size operated upon my individual processor instructions would become expensive to pass around.

From a correctness perspective the difference between pass-by-reference and pass-by-value (pass-by-copy) aren't usually important, but for performance it can be a very large difference.
Airlines want to optimize for all space being used on the plane, not boarding speed. Free checked bags would mean many empty overhead bins, which is wasted space. When the overhead bins are full, it leaves more space in the cargo area that they can sell to other companies who want to use it.

Notes on how to use LLMs in your product
I was reflecting on xz being an absolute triumph of open source software:

1) Someone noticed something that was odd. They were able to go look at what was happening, along with source code and see that suspicious things had happened.

2) They were able to reach out to security experts across almost all the main distributions and get additional eyes on it who also confirmed there was a security thing and were immediately able to take actions to deal with the insanity.

3) Disclosure went public, and lots of eyes with expertise across all kinds of aspects of software and security have been able to tease apart what was done, and how, figuring out risks etc.

4) Other suspicious commits across other bits of software, from the same developer, have been tracked down and identified and the work continues in figuring out consequences.

5) Every distribution has become alert to the minutia of the ways that things were compromised around the build archives etc and have been able to start figuring out how to catch other cases and stop this in future. Stuff will start to spread to various open source projects as distributions work on their packaging tooling/processes, helping ensure other projects don't become vulnerable to compromise through the same mechanisms.

If you contrast this with closed source, where unless there is an exploit, it's reports of e.g. "Your software is running slightly slow" like in the xz/openssh case, is unlikely to get much attention, if any. Then once the closed source company finally finds out about it, at best you'll get a very carefully phrased explanation of what happened, revealing just the bare minimum amount of data they think they can possibly get away with. That badly harms the whole industry's ability to avoid repeats.
Worth noting that this limit can be raised up to 125 (as I'm sure Simon is aware).

I would say that if one needs to query across more SQLite files than that, it's definitely time for a different data policy.
> "what I have is so valuable that other people want to take it!"

Some people have to allocate plenty of time to publishing findings that represent minor progress, otherwise there would be quite some time in-between publications.

Others don't have time or need to document their major positive findings.

Either way negative findings always vastly outnumber worthwhile milestones.

When is anybody going to be able to publish all that non-fruitful effort with the degree of integrity needed for it to be a valuable part of the reference literature?
It's interesting that the current CEO of NPR came from Voice of America. VOA is literally a US propaganda outlet. I've been talking about them since 2013, when the Smith-Mundt Act was amended to allow them to disseminate their programming within the US.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice_of_America#Smith%E2%80%9...

>From 1948 until its amendment in 2013, Voice of America was forbidden to broadcast directly to American citizens, pursuant to § 501 of the Smith–Mundt Act.[94] The intent of the 1948 legislation was to protect the American public from propaganda by its own government and to avoid any competition with private American companies.[95] The act was amended via the passage of the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act provision of the National Defense Authorization Act for 2013.[96] The amendment was intended to adapt the law to the Internet and to allow American citizens access to VOA content.[97]
Does anyone know how much Beeper raised, or how the economics of this exit work out? Just curious how this stacks up for everyone.

Not bad, so instead of having people spend time making powerpoints and then give presentations while everyone else pretends to listen, now the presenter can auto generate it while everyone else pretends to have clicked the link.

This is a more efficient way to waste time, it might actually succeed in many companies (until Google kills it anyway).
I've never played much Zero-K, but from I understand the eco in BAR is truely exponential, after you get to the top of the tech tree and have a metal maker economy. It's an interesting design, since late game human becomes the bottleneck in expanding the eco, since exponential growth also means you have to increase your attention in managing it.

Zero-K from what I know has overdrive fusions, which isn't really exponential in the same sense.

In the end, both are great games.
I mean I think it depends on how the anger surfaces to determine whether its abuse. Yelling and screaming and throwing things, absolutely. But the reason we're scared of anger is because we don't know how to communicate and express it in a healthy way.

But you can also process anger solo with the right tools, or with a good therapist that doesn't shame anger. It doesn't always have to involve another person.

> If you want mutable values in your language, you need to expect values to mutate. So what should list multiplication do?

bitmc can correct me if I'm misinterpreting them, but I feel like what they're saying is that multiplying a list by a number doesn't make sense, so it should throw a type error. That feels reasonable to me (and it's the choice I'm making in the interpreter I'm writing).
