During one of my last Waymo rides the car stopped on Powell between Bush and Sutter (facing South stopping on the regular lane a bit before the Powell/Sutter crossing). This caused other drivers to drive on the cable car tracks to go around the Waymo (which are separated from the driving lane with a double yellow line) and it caused a truck to do a right turn directly from the cable car tracks (as there wasn't enough space to merge back into the lane).

Not sure if was legal or not for the Waymo to stop there, but given that Waymo stops take quite a bit longer than stops with Uber/Lyft (as it takes a while for the car to continue driving) this was one of the worst places possible to stop. Especially as there would have been space available right after the crossing next to Walgreens.
>> you can use it to explore the thought processes of why someone might pick a particular set

The danger I see here, is that if you ask an LLM to explain the thought processes, it will never say “I don’t know”. It will instead describe some thought processes associated with coffee grinders. It may say something like “this grinder has fine grain controls that allow customizing the size of grind.” …which that particular grinder doesn’t have at all…but that’s a thing people write about when choosing grinders. The frustration is that 90% of the answer will be accurate, but somewhere in all the sentences is a hallucination, treated with the exact same authority as the rest of the answer.

It’s very difficult to QA that type of error.
I love how the author points out repeatedly that the chance of achieving the goal are abysmal and then goes on about how they try anyway.

It is very informative.
There is an approach that I like and I think allows one to compress quite a few different description models from different domains. Take a look at this image from wikipedia: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Systematik-Philosoph... You see "Theoretische" and "Praktische" philosophy in the rectangle with a diagonal which probably could mean that you can sort something based on the relation between matter and information, where something is more practical and less theoretical (say 30% practice and 70% theory) add a stimulus-response diagram at the bottom and various information-material circuits inside that allow you to show how something is transformed.

There is an development of this idea from some author which leads to something like https://imgur.com/a/AmF7AJe and currently the author tries to find the connection between syllogistics, Boolean algebra, Euler-Venn diagrams, and more.

It's hard to describe the whole idea at once, but maybe someone will have the courage to learn something from it.
Open Banking: A Case Study in the Benefits of Interoperability
No.

That should be just a gas turbine where the gas is heated through a heat exchanger and where the heat source happens to be a nuclear reactor.

Normally such gas turbines with external heating use their gas in a closed cycle, because air is not a suitable working gas (one of the reasons is that it is too oxidizing at high temperatures, which can damage the turbine; another reason is that it is preferable if the working gas can be transformed into a supercritical fluid at a low enough temperature and low enough pressure, like carbon dioxide).

In a place where the atmosphere would be an acceptable working gas, the cost of the turbine could be reduced by using the atmosphere as the working gas in an open cycle.
I have no opinion on the sanitation for kids, as I have none; however, I myself love to read non-sanitized fairy tails. It's not a huge hobby but it's a fun interest I would love to devote more time to.

Any and all resources would be appreciated! I'm ignorant in all languages except English (and I'm not great at it! ;P)

I have one 19th century book entitled "fairy tails from the land of the czar". It has several versions of what might be versions of "Cinderella" and "Baba Yaga" stories. I would love to find more books like that, no mater where they are from.
I've taken 38 Waymo rides so far. Every one of them has been very clean, cleaner than the average Uber ride.
> What would be, for example, the desirable failure mode of an use-after-free?

Implementation defined

> Or a write past the end of an array?

Ditto

> Remember that the failure mode must be a) implementable, b) implementable at best minor loss of performance, c) not break the ABI.

And "Implementation defined" matches that for the two examples you gave.

What it does is force the compiler vendor to say "If you do $THIS, we will do $THAT."

At least then users can make informed choices, sort of like "Clang guarantees that dereferencing a NULL pointer results in an effective address of zero, but GCC makes no guarantees, therefore we'll be going with Clang".

I mean, seriously, there's a lot of footguns in C only because the standards writers said "Undefined behaviour" and never expected that compiler authors will take that to mean "remove code, or anything else, including nasal demons".
SiFive announces 4th generation 'Essential' series of RISC-V embedded cores
Ah right! I always forget about that since we don’t implement the management protocol in ntpd-rs. I think it’s insane that stuff should go over the same socket as the normal time messages. Something I don’t ever see us implementing.
True. Mr. Vladimirovich doesn't want for any regime change that could just go back to selling natgas. I personally don't think it was UA either, although unlike so many other Kremlin claims, this would at least be a bit believable because there would be a motive.

But given that the pipe was already closed when it blew up, it most likely was FSB trying to frame Western powers and/or UA. Wouldn't be the first time FSB blows up Russian stuff to blame others.
Probably best to say mechanical movement.
Encrypting secrets and committing them seems very convenient but I'm paranoid about these sorts of things. Can anyone tell me why this would be a bad idea?

One reason I can think of is that normally with secrets I actually don't keep any copies of them. I just set them in whatever secret manager my cloud environment uses and never touch them again unless I need to rotate them. Meaning there is no way to accidentally expose them other than by the secret vault being hacked or my environment being hacked.

With this approach if someone gets access to the encryption key all secrets are exposed.
I don’t think this system would be positioned within artillery range, that seems negligent as it’s stationary. It seems like this system would be deployed protecting bases and other high value targets, at least according to their promo materials.
I think you vastly underestimate the amount of radiation and how hard it would be to build a colony that is protected enough and is "self sustaining".

I'm not going to try and convince you to watch it, but would like to remark that it is not at all as visceral and graphic as it is commonly made out to be.

It's more about disturbing atmosphere than gore. Personally I find it interesting in part because it's pretty much based on (early seventies) news reports about crime and serial killers, trying to capture that kind of storytelling.

The horror comes more from socially prevalent suspicions about working class, rural and mentally disabled people than on the nose depictions of violence. A supposedly frightening revolt of the subaltern, of sorts.

I find much of what I see in the news much, much nastier than anything this movie has to offer.
A walkable city doesn't preclude driving. In fact it often improves it. If almost everybody is walking or biking or using transit that means there are few other cars and driving becomes much nicer too.
None of this really matters, the interviews took place in the first half of Assange's stay in Ecuador. If the interviews were the sticking point, why would he stay after them?

> Swedish prosecutors have brought cases to court in absentia before

Yes, usually against heads of state for things like war crimes. I don't think there are similar cases I want you to take a moment to imagine your own outrage if Assange was tried in absentia in Sweden and found guilty. Whether or not it is technically possible, doing so would not be a legitimate option.

Undefined behaviour is the reason I can't use ISO C to do anything sensible in the domains of embedded programming or language implementation. Those are the exact domains that gcc with a lot of flags to disable the WG14 inventions excels at.

I don't need static warnings that the compiler refused to do what I asked it to.

I need the 'UB means arbitrary transforms of your code with a bias towards deletion' invention to go away. It's a dubious premise in C++ where it supports people writing clumsy application code. It's totally inappropriate for things like implementing a JIT.

Depends on your definition of “significant”. They require at least one depot in each city where they operate. The depot handles charging, cleaning, inspection, repair, and parking during low-demand times. Each depot is different since they are generally leased buildings or lots in light industrial areas. You can search on YouTube to see them.
Yeah but it seems like the right step — deployment, not implementation. All my secrets are managed by GitLab AFAIR, but in general I feel way better integrating secrets into each service/container (I happen to use Dokku, so it’s as simple as something like `dokku add_secret APPNAME SECRET`) than having a central system.

I am far too clumsy to trust myself to push secrets in encrypted form, personally
Yup, nevermind reducing signature for military stealth, I'd also like it reduced just for general use.

> To me, the very fact that one of the most used Programming languages ever, has undefined behavior - boggles the mind. IMO It is one of the worst parts of C (other than using pointers for Arrays, its string implementation and 0 based indices).

Because the effect wasn't always this bad; past C compilers did not look at a null-dereference and say "This means that we can simply skip the dereference". They emitted the faulty code which would then crash reliably.

Same with things like writing past the end of an array: you'd overwrite whatever was in the memory or stack. Now, if the compiler detects UB, it would silent discard it.

It's the whole "compiler silently doing something unexpected, other than exhibiting the wrong behaviour that the programmer expected." that makes the issue worse now than it's been in the past.

If you're interested in getting an introduction to cybernetics, theres:

1. Ashby's introduction, but that's from the 60s.

Foundational, but is limited to 1st order cybernetics.

2. E. W. Udo Küppers, A Transdisciplinary Introduction to the World of Cybernetics (2023): https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-658-42117-5

Provided a broad picture and basic intro to the history, central concepts, and various involved thinkers involved.

3. Stuart Umpleby's 6 hour lectures on the Fundamentals and History of Cybernetics (2006): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLB81F4FC0EDC4DECC

Provides a historical overview and introduction to applications of cybernetics in social sciences.

Crucially, Umpleby's history mentions the exact reason why Cybernetics never quite took off in America (well, aside from the fact that it was just difficult to fit into a disciplinary box). Heinz von Foerster, head of the Biological Computer Laboratory, did not want to provide a b.s. military justification for Dept. of Defense funding after the Mansfield Amendment -- (which, was passed in response to student protests of divestment from the Vietnam War).
IMO Nvidia is going to force companies to fix this, Nvidia have always made it clear they will increase prices and capture 90% of your profits when left free to do so. See any example from the GPU vendor space. There isn't infinite money to be spent per token, so it's not like the AI companies can just increase prices.

AMD can offer this product at a 40% discount and still make money tells you all you need to know.
Of course, but the same (with a bit lower number of years) can be said about Windows, or HTTP, or the web with its HTML+JS+CSS unholy trinity, or email, or anything old and important really. It's scary how much of our modern infrastructure hinges on hacks made tens of years ago.

I don't think encryption is a good idea, and the reason is forming bad habits. Now developers have a very strong and non-ambiguous habit: never put .env files in version control (except may be for .example.env). However, with this, you'll get accustomed to commit .env in _some_ projects, so you'll easily slip and commit it in another project where the vars are not encrypted.
I did too.

I Paid $365.63 to Replace 404 Media with AI
Sorry, I (and others) have explained several times what an equivalent arithmetic coding scheme would have to do to make the same assumptions (and have the same limitations) as your scheme.

It would have to assume there's _exactly_ N ones and N zeros in the bit string. Start with those counts:

remaining ones = N;

remaining zeros = N;

It would encode bit for bit. After every zero, it decrements the remaining number of zeros. After every one, it decrements the remaining number of ones. The probability of the next bit being zero or one is derived from the known remaining number of each, P(one) = (remaining ones / (remaining ones + remaining zeros)). When one of the counts reaches zero, the probability of the other becomes 100% and no more information need to be encoded.

Does the linked code do that? No.

I don't have a ready-made example because this is not an assumption about the input that is useful in the majority of cases. The linked example can encode _any sequence_, not just ones that have an equal number of ones and zeros.

If you spent time implementing this scheme you would learn a lot about this field.
