To expand on this separately, this is roughly my process for debugging Ruby:

* Add a "reload!" method that will reload the code.

* Add a repl.rb file that loads the main app and throws you in a suitably configured irb or pry console, with a "reload!" method that'll reload the files you're running in (remember, `require`'s are only loaded once, so this can get tricky for projects that require's lots of things - you can pick a gem to handle this for you, but frankly I tend to find that I usually work on a small set of code at a time, and so I usually prefer to adjust what I want to reload semi-manually).

* Be set up to do remote debugging if your code takes over stdin/stdout, but try to ensure the majority of your code doesn't, so you can play with it from the debugger before you relinquish control at the top level. Or add a way to have your app temporarily surrender control. E.g. my editor will give up control of the terminal to pry when I press
ctrl+x, ctrl+p, and once on the Pry prompt I can access the entire editor state via $editor.

* Add some gems to make formatting data from your objects nicer, like e.g. by current side-project brings in sequel_pretty_print (because I use Sequel rather than ActiveRecord), awesome_print and hirb-unicode.

* While it's nice to be able to run throwaway lines in the REPL, I tend to copy things into methods very quickly, so I build up an array of tests and helpers *based directly on what I've done in the REPL.

Overall most of the "magic" will come from learning the full set of capabilities pry (and irb is finally starting to catch up) and ruby-debug provides you.

My goal tends to be that I shouldn't need to exit the REPL very often while debugging, so I can e.g. keep old objects around and compare state before/after a change, and not have to worry about the complexity.

There is a substantial risk there unless you can hit all the edge cases and error conditions when profiling. Even a good fuzzer can miss a very rare state. Then when you hit it in real use there's no code to handle it!

Profile-based optimization and JITting is plausible because the corner cases are still there, just not optimized.

I'm not sure that's the right question. It's more, is there a chance at all of anyone figuring it out, and given the enormous scale of the security risk that poses, we should start proactively mitigating those threats. If fusion energy goes from perpetually 10 years away to suddenly here, that's pretty much just a white swan. If quantum computers happen, that's a global security risk before it's a civilizational upgrade.

> The correct answer is Go

I use Go, Node, and C# (also Python, Ruby, and PHP currently) and the correct answer is there is no correct answer.

The closest you can get is to use what you know.

If what you know can't do the job, then presumably having reached that conclusion you're armed with the knowledge of the missing functionality that lets you do a proper technical assessment of the alternatives with your specific use case in mind.

JS in PDF might be a mis-feature, but any security lapse is indeed a bug in the implementation (made doubly worse by firefox running the JS in a web context).

> now feel free to spend that research money on curing cancer instead of studying obvious things humans knew for hundreds of years.

This is a false dichotomy. We can and indeed should study medicine and psychology, among countless other subjects. The author of the article isn't a medical researcher and wouldn't be able to cure cancer regardless of whether he received research money for that. Moreover, the article gives no indication that it was funded by any grants. Professors publish articles as part of their regular jobs. Unless you're proposing that universities abolish all departments except medical research?

I'd guess that it's probably cheaper to prevent cancer than to cure cancer. One way to help prevent cancer is to successfully sue and/or prosecute companies who introduce cancer-causing substances into the air, water, food, and other parts of our environment. Thus, I'd say that the factors resulting in courtroom success are relevant to the fight against cancer.

I can't believe the answer to environmentally friendly wine and chocolate in New York, at least for the size of the market, is really to innovate on how to ship it from France..?!

The coffee and cacao is presumably making its second Atlantic crossing too.

And wait, coffee? What are they doing, just roasting it in France? And then it's at minimum 18 days stale by the time you buy it? That's not a premium good at all, and much less environmentally friendly than if it came directly from South America, roasted in New York or wherever. But then I guess you can't label it 'French Roast' or something stupid.

Disable calling functions in transitive dependencies, force them to be direct dependencies.

Why should sshd be allowed to call an xz function directly without xz being an immediate dependency.

I'm not sure what all that would entail with the ifunc stuff, but I remember encountering a glibc linking change moving from Red Hat 6 to RH7 that did something similar and broke the build process for some legacy code.
Monopoly? That's a bit bold of a claim.

The provider you're talking about is the utility company. You might not know why the utility company provides the internet either. It's because before that they couldn't get the other companies (AT&T, Comcast, Hughe, Verizon) to offer good speeds and reasonable rates. The utility also doesn't take a profit. Mind you, those other companies still operate and no one is holding them back. They just decided that the profit margins weren't worth it, though they did lobby against NoogaNet.

It's not a monopoly. It's a city coming together and saying

Fuck you, give us good internet or we're going to build our own internet w̶i̶t̶h̶ ̶b̶l̶a̶c̶k̶j̶a̶c̶k̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶h̶o̶o̶k̶e̶r̶s̶

And overnight all those companies increased their speeds. They found what they were happy with and NoogaNet still decided "fuck it, we're going to just be better." I really REALLY wish more people/cities would take this "fuck you, we'll do it ourselves" attitude. Waiting on others to fix our problems clearly isn't working.

If the prosecutor knows the defendant is innocent, it is arguably unethical to prosecute him. The ABA Standards on the Prosecution Function 3-4.3(d): "A prosecutor’s office should not file or maintain charges if it believes the defendant is innocent, no matter what the state of the evidence."

Note that few if any jurisdictions have adopted this as binding. It's unlikely that a prosecutor would lose their license over what you propose. But it's nevertheless arguably unethical.

I recently had a bug where I was sometimes sending the literal text "null " right in front of the most important part of my prompt. This caused Claude 3 Sonnet to give the 'ignore' command in cases where it should have used one of the other JSON commands I gave it.

I have an ignore command so that it will wait when the user isn't finished speaking. Which it generally judges okay, unless it has 'null' in there.

The nice thing is that I have found most of the problems with the LLM response were just indications that I hadn't finished debugging my program because I had something missing or weird in the prompt I gave it.

This is external vs. internal. It is certainly the case that these words are used interchangeably. However, one would argue that this is both intellectually weak and symptomatic of a spectrum of other issues.

Almost nothing is entirely local. Even with foodstuffs, fertilizer feed and other supplies has to be transported from great distances. Whether something gets to its destination in a less energy-intensive way locally depends on the product. Plus it's more land-efficient (and therefore less hard on environment) for farmers to sell to a wider area.

You can of course give up luxuries if you want, but it's a pointless race to the bottom. Emissions go up because demand goes up in the developing world, not because you ordered coffee and chocolate. And of course that surge in demand is a reflection of an improved quality of life, i.e. living more like the West.

Since climate change is a short-run imminent problem, I agree that interventions of some sort alongside the innovation race are warranted. Here though, some are more impactful and politically viable than others. There is some low hanging fruit that governments can take advantage of, such as green grants for improving home insulation, dissuading purchase of SUVs (the gas-powered ones), greatly improving public transportation and zoning reform, etc.

$90/month for 25/2.5 Mbps here. I honestly never thought we'd see that kind of speed. In late 2015 it went from 512 kbps to 10/1 Mbps on a new system. Four years later (2019) they upgraded it to the present speed with no increase in price. It's all wireless and since we're in AT&T telco territory there is no chance of them doing anything (the phone lines have been in the ground since the late '70s), so this independent telco built out as a WISP almost 20 years ago. They're looking at doing their own FTTH in this area.
Just cause it is a sailing vessel does not mean it does not have an engine.
It probably uses a couple of 100 liters of disel to get in and out of port, driving generators and heating the boat.

On top of that the sails will degrade with time and the ship will need to be repaired and there is allot more crew and manpower needed per unit of cargo.

Everything has environmental cost in CO2 emissions, and the amount of useful work you get from a large container ship per amount CO2 emissions is insane. The only thing that can get you those kinds of numbers is scale.
I played with HTMX for a bit. Its pretty cool and basically an easy way abstract away fetch() and swapping innerHTML.

You can even send custom headers along with the request (important for 'Authorization' headers) You can also trigger behavior after the fetch by sending an 'HX-Trigger'. So on the surface, does seem your one-stop shop for all things client-server interaction.

There may come a point howecer, where you hit a brick wall with HTMX. Frameworks were created for a reason, and it wassn't just the fact that fetch() and setting innerHTML were too verbose (those can be easily abstracted away)

Then you're back in framework land. And can be hard to make those two place nice with each other. React, particularly, doesn't like you messing around with innerHTML.

Years ago I read that the first Rothschilds to go into banking (men, of course) were not especially attractive. Financial success supposedly helped successive generations of the men to marry attractive women, so that later generations of men in the family looked like models or movie stars.

It just doesn't matter (or at least less) if you know people over time. If it is just a few days, it allways does matter.
Yeah also prompts should not be developed in abstract. Goal of a prompt is to activate the models internal respentations for it to best achieve the task. Without automated methods, this requires iteratively testing the models reaction to different input and trying to understand how it's interpreting the request and where it's falling down and then patching up those holes.

Need to verify if it even knows what you mean by nothing.
Yeah, the whole airport security fee thing is a bit of a pain, but it's all about maintaining security measures. The option to get through security without a boarding pass is pretty niche but cool for those who want to access the airport amenities or do some planespotting. On the topic of airport parking, it's notoriously expensive, but there are ways to save a bit. Sites like parkingaccess can help you find better deals than the standard airport rates. It's always surprising how much you can save with a little research. Most people seem to agree that looking for alternative parking options is the way to go to avoid those steep airport parking fees.
Wow, that is very expensive

> That's cold comfort to the overwhelming majority of people who aren't served by such ISPs.

But is actually warm comfort as it shows a proven model that anyone, anywhere in Canada can also do. It's just a matter of whether or not the people actually care if they are a customer of an independent, or if being a customer of a major is just as good or better.

> Moreover, looking at Sasktel's website[1], their prices don't look too competitive.

Sure. Nobody said owning your own business allowed it to operate for free. Publicly-owned and co-op businesses are not a panacea. But they are independent and free of a major private business, which is the topic at hand.

Saskatchewan's population is ~80% rural, and Sasktel doesn't operate outside of Saskatchewan. It isn't terribly surprising that it costs more to service rural areas, and without much in the way of an urban base to help subsidize the operation. But this does indicate that other providers are operating within reasonable margins. Indeed, Canada is a very expensive place to do business in, and not just in telecom. You are never going to see cheap internet compared to other countries, or much of anything, without radically upheaving what the country stands for.
Public infrastructure, like water, sewage, and electricity. I.e., utilities. Telecommunications is another. GCP is B2B; compute infrastructure isn’t generally consumed by the public as a whole.
