You don't need to eat it. A well-known phenomenon in the US military is that some of the sites for Basic Training of new recruits have prodigious quantities of poison oak/ivy/sumac as the local flora. As consequence of the military training, you are rolling around in those plants daily. Initially, a large percentage of people have the usual reaction but it quickly disappears after a few weeks and it never happens again, providing apparent permanent immunity.

This is in contrast to the experience many kids have in the US of sporadic exposure and no immunity. Apparently intense sustained exposure is required.
If a person enters a relationship for housing with somebody (landlord) who is in every way incentivized to not support your thriving with that housing, then foundationally you’re in a situation where a core function of life (shelter) cannot be considered stable.

If you were to use Paul Graham’s “default alive or default dead” metaphor for homelessness, that means every single person who isn’t a landlord is “default homeless”

In this case, every persons stability lives at the whim of a landlord - and to be clear, you can put all of the eviction laws in place that you want, but if a landlord does not want you on the property even if they cant immediately evict you without recourse (a matter of money and political power at that point) they can and will make your life worse than if you weren’t even in that property.

The fact that it’s illegal to be alive without paying somebody else to live is insanity
Science is not conducted through public debate. Full stop. There's a reason why it's peer review, and not talk show host review.

During COVID, most everybody was operating from an incomplete data set. Public officials were wrong about some things. You can choose to see this as a conspiracy set up by big pharma, or you can see it as imperfect people doing what they could to mitigate a public health crisis.

And yes, critique the peer review process all you want. It's flawed in many ways. But this "it's us versus science" narrative is extremely, insidiously damaging to society at large. It only serves powerful people who benefit from whipping an audience into a frenzy to buy their shitty supplements or bumper stickers or whatever.

You mentioned “Fusion reactors also have strong diseconomies of scale” so that’s what I am referring to. A fusion reactor 2x larger with the same energy flow per m2 of wall could be cheaper per kWh than a more compact reactor. The exact details matter a great deal and not every design works at every scale.

Anyway, a fission reactor’s complexity is mostly outside the device. Things like multiply redundant cooling systems, backups for your backup generators, fuel processing, etc that are completely unnecessary or simpler on a fusion reactor. So overall a large fusion power plant could easily be a simpler overall system.
sci-fi is not about the future, it is a commentary on the present.
I remember being really excited about the derive-a-compiler-from-a-partial-evaluator premise when I first ran across it. You genuinely do get a compiler from an interpreter plus a partial evaluator. That trick does work.

The gotcha I didn't spot at the time is that a compiler is (I think, could be argued either way) easier to write than a partial evaluator. The "get it for free bit" only really applies if someone else gave you the partial evaluator and if you somehow don't need to spend ages debugging why that partial evaluator isn't behaving like you hoped.

Now that I'm somewhat more beaten down by toolchain dev, I'm starting to think compilers are easier to write than interpreters. It's definitely not a clear win in favour of the interpreter. If you compile to x64, or to C, or to javascript or whatever, you now have a thing you can debug with whatever tools are native to that target. If you run in an interpreter, you get to debug that interpreter running the program, with whatever somewhat ad hoc debugging tools you put into the interpreter yourself.

Getting useful semantic error message out of an interpreter at partial evaluation time (aka the "compile time" of the aggregate tool) is probably solvable but not likely to work out of the box. Partial eval isn't really a phase separation friendly thing.

Yeah good Q, why should anyone be a landlord?

Given the situation that there is no safety net, and knowing that, why would you choose a relationship that is likely to position your financial interests against the physical safety and wellbeing of someone else, even a whole family?

I wouldn't choose it and I don't have respect or sympathy for people who do.
You've heard "reliable records"? Can you link it/them? I can't find via search engines, I tried.
I don’t think this is a fair retort. Personal communication is not what is being looked at here.

No business I’ve ever worked at has encouraged or tolerated the use of personal messaging platforms for business.

Why do these execs get an exception? What are they doing that warrants hiding? I think any normal bystander would see this as suspicious.

Why are so many companies trying to hide their executive decision making? It keeps showing up in the news.

Why did Arthur Anderson and Enron shred all those documents? Who knows? I have no idea what was in those reams, and nobody ever will. I’d bet it would not look good for the folks at the top if we could.

With the amount of power these businesses yield, they absolutely should be held to basic record keeping standards. Companies are groups of people, their lifeblood is communication. The only way they can perpetrate large scale wrongdoing is via communication.

Our elected government representatives should be able to inspect and question how these powerful entities are run and respond to any wrongdoing they find.

We ask a lot from our elected representatives. Likewise, we must ask a lot from our unelected corporate overlords. Yes this is uncomfortable for them. Being powerful should be.

I am aware of things outside of HN, as I do read other sites. But when I open this one, I hope for a certain kind of content. If it's the same as all the other sites, it becomes kind of pointless.

So no, that's not "the problem". One problem I see, is that all places now get innundated with a great number of posts about the "problem du jour". Many times supported by opinions like yours "that's important!". It may well be, but specialization still has a role.

Maybe for a short time I want to not think about the "things getting worse", you know?
Yes, but it has far fewer pins for the same bandwidth, so it's feasible to make a "PCIe switch" that will fit in a typical IC package.

Being paid does not make it easier to use in a corporate environment, that is nonsense. I specifically tried to ween my Mech E.’s off Matlab because I don’t want to pay for Matlab licenses for our company.

The big win for Matlab seemed to be there are pre-existing solutions/examples for hundreds of common engineering problems that only need to be tweaked for the problem at hand. Engineers like this. They seem pretty happy and productive in Matlab too, so I finally gave up and decided it was my best interests to let them use it.
On a similar vein, I have a deep yearning for a solar gravity lens to be used to image exo planets within my lifetime. I've got a long time, but it's frustrating to see so little movement on big astronomy projects like these.

Do keep in mind that these stories aren't taking place in downtown SF or Seattle. In most of the US police respond very quickly to most calls, including real crimes.

And in this case (fugitive) it's likely that the callers didn't know there was a game going on, all they knew was that there were some people acting very strangely in their neighborhood. Dispatch can't distinguish between a legitimate crime spree and overworried neighbors.

> This is always an exaggeration. You mean to tell me there are people out there for whom the only way to get in touch with them is through Facebook? They don't have a phone number, SMS, an E-mail address (note you need an E-mail address to sign up for Facebook in the first place), a postal address, and ears for word of mouth conversation?

Yup.

Three people in particular come to mind. For them, with regard to phone/SMS/e-mail, even though they necessarily have those things, they never bothered to give them to me, and/or they change them often, and/or they don't check those modes.

For postal address… these three regularly (and from my perspective randomly) change continents, not merely street or city. One of the countries they often go to is Kenya, where the addresses of the places they live in seem to often be something of the form "third on the left in the gated community next to the Blue Sky Petrol Station".

This also makes "ears and mouth" rather challenging.

Extra irony points, they all self-identify as somewhere between socialist and communist. And still insist on using Facebook.

I've never understood the fascination with programming languages among computer science folks. Just write machine code directly, it's what it compiles to anyway.
I’d also recommend this if you’re using eMMC in embedded devices. On a Linux system, you can use the `mmc` command from `mmc-utils` to configure your device in pSLC mode. It can also be done in U-Boot but the commands are a bit more obtuse. (It’s one-time programmable, so once set it’s irreversible.)

In mass-production quantities, programming houses can preconfigure this and any other eMMC settings for you.
The current qualcomm arm laptops seem to be slower than x64 with worse power consumption. I'm not totally clear what went wrong there, some articles thought scaling mobile phone chips up to laptop wattage was harder than expected. There doesn't seem to be anyone else (other than apple) attempting it, maybe this will be the year.

I'm excited about the next set of APU chips from AMD, curious to see if they get much attention at the event.

Imagine a scenario where some kid is apprehended by a police officer and brought to face the angry homeowner. Restitution cannot be made by having the child buy a new plant to replace the damaged plant. So the child has to buy two ripe tomatoes a week for four weeks to provide the homeowner with some compensation.

No court hearing. No criminal record. Parents involved, but nobody too worked up. Just a valuable life lesson about respecting others and taking responsibility. The angry homeowner still hires the kid to mow their lawn. No hard feelings.

Do we really want our police to be judge, jury, arbitrator, and parole officer?

Well, in this little sketch of Mayberry, my answer is yes. If only we could always exist in the sunny side of Mayberry. It only takes one person in this story to take us out of Mayberry.

No the point is not obvious. We spent 25 years getting pictures of extremely isolated instances of afghans wearing western clothes as some justification for continued occupation. Exactly the same playbook tried with Iran.

"It's lossy" is in isolation much too vague to say if it's OK or not.

A compression algorithm which loses 1 bit of real data is obviously not going to protect you from copyright infringement claims, something that reduces all inputs to a single bit is obviously fine.

So, for example, what the NYT is suing over is that it (or so it is claimed) allows the model to regenerate entire articles, which is not OK.

But to claim that it is a copyright infringement to "compress" a Harry Potter novel to 1200 bits, is to say that this:

> Harry Potter discovers he is a wizard and attends Hogwarts, where he battles dark forces, including the evil Voldemort, to save the wizarding world.

… which is just under 1200 bits, is an unlawful thing to post (and for the purpose of the hypothetical, imagine that quotation in the form of a zero-context tweet rather than the actual fact of this being a case of fair-use because of its appearance in a discussion about copyright infringement of novels).

I think anyone who suggests suing over this to a lawyer, would discover that lawyers can in fact laugh.

Now, there's also the question of if it's legal or not to train a model on all of the Harry Potter fan wikis, which almost certainly have a huge overlap with the contents of the novels and thus strengthens these same probabilities; some people accuse OpenAI et al of "copyright laundering", and I think ingesting derivative works such as fan sites would be a better description of "copyright laundering" than the specific things they're formally accused of in the lawsuits.
What about the converse example of yours, eg: if there is a shame policy around being pro-life and perhaps suggesting on some specific week criteria after which abortions should not be allowed?

What you're calling "thought police society" is basically another way of saying that "there are social norms in a particular society". This is true anywhere.

You may not like the social norms of a particular place and time, or think your rival political tribe is from the dark ages (I recommend going outside to touch grass if you're in a Western country and believe this), but the base point is that any group of people that has any sort of group cohesion has preferred social behaviours and disliked antisocial behaviours.

> giving you more data resilience in short term but wasting more write cycles because they're technically writing 1111111 instead of 1. every time.

No, that's not how it works. SLC caches are used primarily for performance reasons, and they're faster precisely because they aren't doing the equivalent of writing four ones (and especially not seven!?) to a QLC cell.

This must be an American perspective (by a British author). Certainly in the UK different faiths get along pretty well, if you ignore the politicians, and money is in short supply. I suppose he has a book to sell, but it would be good if he had done any actual research.
Yes I would, but I’ve not seen that anywhere. This type of forced introduction of political views into non political spaces seems to only come from one side of the political spectrum.
There's a meme driver with safety vs business critical and software types seem to think they're special (a different meme) but I'm starting to understand it's everywhere, which is why nobody notices the software issue creeping into their physical systems thinking.

A "business critical" issue is defined by the appetite for risk. Most businesses aren't planning for total economic collapse: losing their accounts receivable is what that would look like. What they are concerned about is losing business to competitors or liability for not fulfilling contracts. Software seems to solve the latter problem with shrinkwrap agreements "not responsible for failure of software". That solves their liability problem; everybody else they'll sue.

On the other hand "safety critical" concerns the loss of life or property: the things insurers are traditionally concerned with. So if the plane can land, engine out or GPS out what's the difference? Businesses absolutely care about safety, that's why they buy insurance! Safety programs reduce the need and cost for such insurance.

Businesses aren't lying when they say they care about safety. However people swim in the ocean of systems without necessarily being systems thinkers: plugging a leak is plugging a leak. But a leaky roof is not the same as a leaky hull. All the people in cybersecurity warning of the dire consequences of breaches are proven wrong time and again by the market: look at the stock prices of Equifax, Solarwinds, United Health Care. It's not simply marketing, a lot of these people really Want To Believe (tm).

In the end business is never safe, it's taking risks all the time. Mostly it doesn't see a need to share those risks with customers (or competitors).
