I believe it. Drug liberalization advocacy suffers from at least two flaws: the failure to understand the instructive dimension of law, and naïveté concerning the harm drugs cause and the power of personal responsibility when drugs enter the mix in light of human frailty.

In the first case, one end of the law is to teach good behavior by punishing what is bad, and perhaps incentivizing what is good. Drugs are opposed to the objective human good, and gravely so, for one, because they cripple the effective exercise of reason. Any attack on reason of this kind is gravely immoral, and constitutes a direct assault on human flourishing and what is most essential to human beings. The result is the degradation of the human person and the degeneration of society. The common good suffers greatly, as you have described, and since the primary purpose of law and the governments that make law is to guard the common good, it falls to governments to criminalize and regulate drug availability and use.

In the second case, ask yourself why anyone takes drugs. Unhealthy curiosity. Boredom. Escapism. Mental illness. There is no legitimate reason for drug liberalization as there is no legitimate reason to take hard narcotics recreationally (I emphasize that word because there is a place for regulated use in the context of medicine under the principle of double effect). Liberalization lowers the barrier of entry by signaling that using narcotics is no big deal. And yet it is a big deal. The instructive dimension of the law, by penalizing use, helps counteract the foolishness and frailty of human beings that would bring ruin to such people and those around them. Libertarian anthropology does not stand a chance in the face of reality.

(Obviously, plenty of substances are psychoactive, and I do not propose a categorical ban on everything from cough medicine to cigars to Merlot to coffee. I am no teetotaler. We know what kind of drug use is problematic when we say “doing drugs”. Prudent regulation that takes into account
a number of factors like the severity and nature of chronic and acute harm, how addictive something is and its potential for abuse, dosage, etc. It’s one thing to chew on a coca leaf, another to snort 30 mg of powder.)

This blanket statement heavily depends on which specific drug we are talking about.

Or rather, do you feel the same way about alcohol and nicotine?
The name attribute is used to create a named anchor. [1]

When using named anchors you can create links to a specific section on a page, instead of letting your viewer scroll around to find what he/she is looking for. Named anchors are called bookmarks in Expression Web.

NOTE: Not supported in HTML5. Use the global id attribute instead. Specifies the name of an anchor

You can also use the name attribute on the server side to identify the fields in form submits. [2][3]

I feel like the article documents the author's own experiences (which, to be fair, is a valid thing to do) without emphasising, or really even trying to emphasise, the how. Which really makes it less useful for anyone looking for learnable takeaways.

But hey, it triggered this HN discussion, and I see a lot of replies here which seem more useful for that kind of thing.
Meh, Tesla could polish a frozen turd, thaw it out, price it at $80k and sell 4,000 of them. Just as Apple probably has sold some of the Vision Pros. We won’t know if it’s a success or not until they can produce 100k of them a year and we see if they sell that many. But that’s not really what I meant. (That’s on me, it was late at night and I did not clarify.)

Both of them are a product that, IMO, look stupid (highly subjective, I know), make you look stupid, and greatly misunderstand the traditional audience.

Or they’re creating an entirely new audience. Cybertruck is not a replacement for a regular pickup, at all. But perhaps it’s a replacement for an SUV. Vision Pro is not a replacement for an Oculus, but perhaps in a few generations it’ll be something entirely new and worthwhile.
But they can? They just have to pay then. Which seems fair since targeted ads are worth much more than untargeted ones?
Good prediction involves modelling the data generator, including hidden state such as level of knowledge or uncertainly, motivation, or tendency to lie.

If you ask a question of someone/something who is ill equipped to answer, then (assuming you have not modeled them as inveterate bullshitter) a good predicted response is "I don't know".

Deliberately lying due to a motivation to deceive is different from the default LLM mode of "just keep talking" bullshitting. The only "motivation" an LLM has is to predict next word, but if it knows that this requires lying then it will do so (e.g. give it a setup where it is someone motivated to lie).

The hospital stuff was the least of our concerns.[3]

The history of this actually gets better. Nixon was sloshed half the time and then rolled that fact into the furtherance of his nuclear brinksmanship[2] pioneering:

"If the president had his way," Kissinger growled to aides more than once, "there would be a nuclear war each week!" This may not have been an idle jest. The CIA's top Vietnam specialist, George Carver, reportedly said that in 1969, when the North Koreans shot down a US spy plane, "Nixon became incensed and ordered a tactical nuclear strike... The Joint Chiefs were alerted and asked to recommend targets, but Kissinger got on the phone to them. They agreed not to do anything until Nixon sobered up in the morning." [1]

No big deal.

"The allegation of flirting with nuclear weaponry is not an isolated one. Nixon had been open to the use of tactical nuclear weapons in Vietnam as early as 1954 and as president-elect in 1968 had talked of striking "a blow that would both end the war and win it". A Kissinger aide who moved over to the White House, David Young, told a colleague "of the time he was on the phone [listening] when Nixon and Kissinger were talking. Nixon was drunk, and he said, 'Henry, we've got to nuke them.'"[1]

Now we know where a certain warmonger gets their habit of threatening the use of tactical nukes.

I think the best system is probably some type of consensus system between military command elements. We have a fleet of EC-4 "Nightwatch" aircraft for this purpose, as a backup. It makes more sense to have your nuclear war decision makers comfortably aloft with the job being their primary vocation, as opposed to some dude waking up groggy at 3am being told they have 15 minutes to live while probably also being evacuated at the same time.

Mandrake, do you recall what Clemenzo once said about war?

Mandrake: No. I don't think I do sir, no.

Ripper: He said war was to important to be left to the Generals. When he said that, fifty years ago, he might have been right. But today, war is too important to be left to politicians. They have neither the time, the training, nor the inclination for strategic thought.

Oh, thank heavens, I am not the only one who thinks the rest of the world are crazy. I have thought so for ... a long time but when doctors started rolling out unproved vaccines to vaccinate in the middle of a pandemic and could not find that class in medical schools, who if you can believe it teaches them to as a tool to use BEFORE everyone are sick.

It also made me sick with a milder version of c19, I had the first round and did not even show the slightest sign of symptons during my 3 day airport hotel quarantine. I infected my entire family, my uncle dying of cancer and half brother+gf from another country, and they all got sick enough to test themselves with positie results and told me to get tested. Days after the lab confirmed I had it again I collapsed carrying groceries up the stairs, hyperventilating on the floor.

+ laundry list of things, including paying consulting compaines for web apps inMS frameworks they demanded more money for to fix when their shitty framework they built things on broke. The most serious incident lead to the compromise of our entire government's portal for bids and contracs on e-things & e-apps. They better ban web browsers and SQL as those things evidently are dangerous things to know.

The problem with this utopian idea from the TS, one I would love if was practical reality, is that that people and their stengths + knowledge differ..and also corp money fueling stupid solutions for their own bottom line. YOu need nation-state resources, planning and determination + brilliant people and a whole education system for it to have even a remote chance of happening. :(

That said, I have always been. and more and more am a firm believer in that infrastructure should be built on open source, and contribute back to it to keep the momentum once it gets going.

Computer Science is and was never intended to be a pathway to programming. If you want a career in software engineering then you should get a degree in Software Engineering and also a Masters in Systems Engineering.

Coding bootcamps aren’t bad but in my opinion they should accompany a CS/SWE degree + Masters.

You should have systems thinking skills and be a lifelong learner. It’s not a one shot

It kind of interesting to think, how can you define 'React for X'?

My best definition would be:
- JSX syntax
- Immediate Mode - style API (computing inside UI code and having the same semantics as if it's recomputed on each render frame)
Games have largely moved away from direct connections and user hosted servers though. The players and companies prefer the modern match making system. Its easier to use, more reliable, and gives the company greater control over the experience.
Looks cool, but coding games never appealed to me. There are plenty of real coding things I could do to scratch that itch.

> You have to put something (an optional, or a default constructed object in a useless state)

No, you really don't. There is no default number, no default string, no default piece of legislation, no default function.
> It doesn't seem unreasonable to receive more punishment when you have more control over your negative behavior

I think it should be the opposite. Because I am superior, I should receive less punishment. Inferior people should receive more punishment so they are incentivized to become superior or disappear.
Well, I'm inside a CGNAT. It's like living in an apartment building with 20,000 other families. Maybe it's all fine when everything is normal, but one day, the water pipe on the top floor might go burst while no one is answering the door.

It is true that a NAT could give you some privacy, but the downside is also very obvious. For example, your network neighbor might rub some service in the wrong way, then the service ended up sanction/ban the shared NAT exit.

Then, you might be thinking, "just use a smaller CGNAT then". Well, then a smaller CGNAT will allow the website to track you more easily.

If I really really don't want to be tracked, I'd rather use Tor.

The checks are done outside of the loop though (unless you mean ≥two nested loops, with a small-ish inner one, at which point things indeed get less nice, but also this is less common).

Yeah, autovectorization of a manual tail loop can be annoying, but there is "#pragma clang loop unroll(disable)" and "#pragma clang loop vectorize(disable)" for clang, and for gcc "#pragma GCC unroll 1" and, from gcc 14, "#pragma GCC novector".

I'm wondering how much you're actually involved in research to make a statement like that.

Scientists at these companies are likely out of a job if the trials aren't successful (especially for start-ups that have one shot).

The answer is - when you're developing a brand new molecule, often for a recently discovered pathway, in a biological organism that is so complex we barely understand it, failure shouldn't be surprising.

Why it would be more troubling a phone that can't browse Github.com than a phone that can't open plain text files on a sub-megabyte .zip file as derefr apparently has ? Github.com frontpage itself is already several megabytes. By your own text your 6 year old phone (more than capable) "is far from great". That's the point...

My phone can checkout this repository (or unzip the corresponding .zip file), and even under emulation layer build MS-DOS from it. Browsing Github.com is on the other hand a struggle. But it should be obvious; there is _no way_ browsing plain text files wouldn't be more far more responsive and pleasant than browsing such a loaded website. Github is just a disservice here.
Super strange, I'm seeing the exact same thing, the only significant location is a grocery store that I semi-frequent.
> if the LLM doesn't properly recognize that it doesn't know something, how will it properly recognize it needs to use a tool to obtain that knowledge?

Maybe by doing it all/most of the time, the way that LLM/search hybrids like Perplexity and Bing/Copilot already do?

Ideally an LLM would either be trained (or better learn for itself) when it's appropriate to use different types of tool. Web search (or offline WikiPedia lookup) could be the default.

“people have a natural desire for what drugs do”

Define “natural”. I don’t think any mature, temperate, and healthy human being desires to use or abuse drugs, and even if they have a genetic predisposition to abuse (like some alcoholics), they know to avoid the so-called near occasions of sin that put them at serious risk of using. Obviously, I don’t mean everything with psychoactive properties is bad. Having some chamomile tea or a cup of coffee or a beer is fine in moderation. But drug use as we commonly mean it is drug abuse by definition, as the corruption and distortion of mental faculties for a thrill (or to escape) is intentional and intrinsic. So I find the very notion of a “vibrant positive drug culture with good drugs” in this context incoherent, or subject to such a restrictive notion of “good drugs” (which is also partly a matter of dosage) that it becomes as banal as pipe smoking forums or beer clubs.
Interesting argument!
Side effect handling also include composable error handling and asynchronous functions. I'm curious to see how you are doing it that is so much better? Forgetting to handle an exception or an asynchronous result is something that probably every person here can relate to.

Debian release cycle is almost exactly 2 years, much like Ubuntu with some deviation.
You can install Debian, on ZFS if you want.

Now speaking of corporate customers, well that is not a great argument, as even more users use Red Hat, which is IMO an inferior distro.

What is good about Debian, however there is a very little chance of it disappearing one day, or dramatically switching to snap-only or some other nonsense deviation. In a way, it is even safer for corporate use than Ubuntu. This is why it is used in Google (the used to run Ubuntu before on their workstations).
Erlang: Making reliable distributed systems in the presence of software errors [pdf] (2003)
While reading The Server Chose Violence (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40178652) I kept drawing parallels to Erlang, and it's even mentioned in a footnote. Anyway, I thought I should share Joe Armstrong's paper on Erlang, it's a great read!

Fault isolation:

Biffle: "Hubris uses a small, application-independent kernel, and puts most of the code — drivers, application logic, network stack, etc. — in separately compiled isolated tasks. These tasks can communicate with each other using a cross-task messaging system (inter-process communication, or IPC)."

Armstrong (2.3 Philosophy): "We need to isolate all the code that runs in order to achieve a goal in such a way that we can detect if any errors occurred when trying to achieve a goal. Also, when we are trying to simultaneously achieve multiple goals
we do not want a sodware error occurring in one part of the system to propagate to another part of the system. [...] Our applications are structured using large numbers of communicating parallel processes."

Error handling:

Armstrong (4.4 Let it crash): "The defensive code detracts from the pure case and confuses the
reader—the diagnostic is often no better than the diagnostic which the
compiler supplies automatically"

Biffle: "Early in the system’s design, I decided not to permit recoverable/resumable faults. That is, when a program takes a fault — whether it’s hardware or synthetic — the task is dead. It can run no further instructions. There is no way to “fix” the problem and resume the task. This was a conscious choice to avoid some subtle failure modes and simplify reasoning about the system."
Prohibition failed because European Americans have a deep affinity for alcohol. And it was adopted shortly after the mass immigration of Irish and Italians to the US, who had a specially deep affinity for alcohol. It wasn’t just prohibition, it was removing something that the whole country was already addicted to—an addiction that was cultivated over generations and ingrained in the culture.

Prohibition can work fine with alcohol when combined with a strong social taboo. In my home country of Bangladesh, alcohol is illegal for Muslims and virtually nobody drinks it.

Drugs are much more like prohibition of alcohol in Muslim countries than the prohibition of alcohol in America. We have a pre-existing taboo against drug use that we could be strengthening instead of trying to tear down. Capital punishment for drug dealers would go a long way towards reaffirming the taboo.
