I do wonder if you're intentionally being dense or just not reading the words people write. So I will make this incredible simple for you.

Google Sheets was released in 2006 and "Written in JavaScript" [1].

Around 2014 the codebase is mostly converted to Java. At this time the Java version and JS version's performance are measured and the Java version won't be allowed to launch if it's >5% slower across many use cases.

Note: The Java code isn't emulated by the browser. It's literally converted into a JS source file by GWT and your browser runs it just like any other JS file.

Note: This means the "Java" performance and "JavaScript" performance is equivalent.

Note: Rust is 2015 and full of lifetime markers [3] (i.e. not nearly as ergomatic as it is today); might even have green threads then too.

Around 2018 (?), GWT was replaced by J2CL. Similar story with performance rules.

Note: Not only is the file provided to your browser JS code, the JS file might contain handwritten JS source code for certain "Java files" as opposed to the J2CL output for that file.

Around 2023, J2CL is semi-replaced by WasmGC and WasmGC was 2x faster than the JavaScript being ran by the browser. That generated JS has a similar performance to completely handwritten JS so it's entirely honest to say WasmGC is 2x as fast as JS because

1. It is. It doesn't matter that the JS comes from transpiling Java files; open up a network tab and you'll see it's `.js` files.

2. Transitively it's better than the original handwritten JS files.

No, it's just that you're using jargon to mean different things than other people use that jargon for and getting confused when things don't make sense in your state of the world.

It's a "JS version" because it's the version that is JS code. Much like how the output of J2ObjC produces the ObjC version.

‘Why do they NEED to have a religious state?’

I don’t know, but I guess we can also ask:

Why does England NEED to be the only Christian Anglican country in the world?

Why does Saudi Arabia NEED to be an Islamic State?

Why would Indian Hindus want a Hindu nation? I guess it’s called Democracy.

Are you against Democracy?

What makes it fearful? I read that as they were happy that they would likely to get promoted if the project went well since it had attention from higher ups, how is that something to fear? Google never fired people at that point in time, nobody had anything to fear.

1500 documents were published with thousands of bits of compromising information. They sent a request the the DOD to sanitize the documents, and the DOD basically said we don't negotiate with terrorists, so we will not attempt to mitigate.

The information included FOB locations, contact reports, and secret and classified documents. releasing these documents without properly sanitizing the information put american service men in danger.

Without a doubt, leaking classified information puts thousands of lives at risk. Julian Assage is a criminal. At some point you stop being a whistle blower and you become a terrorist releasing compromising information on troop movements, informants, supply constraints, and readiness assessments. Julian Assage is a terrorist and i'm sure he won't live very long now that he is out. He's pissed off too many dangerous people.

Figma | Senior/Staff Security Engineer | Remote (US / Canada), or in-office SF/NYC | Full-time | $149k - $350k

The security team at Figma spans a bunch of areas (AppSec, Infra, AI/ML, etc). I am currently working on securing our recently announced AI features -- how do you deal with model security? Especially when some of those models include private data? Not a lot of prior art here, so it's an interesting learning experience!

We're really just looking for smart people that want to find problems to chip at. The company is growing fast and there is no shortage of interesting work. (I wrapped up my YC startup to join the team!)

Generic job req is here: https://boards.greenhouse.io/figma/jobs/4214880004

Feel free to email me at fwortley at <name of company above>.com

Edit: For clarity to others, there are 3 teams hiring in security atm (all of them lol):

#1: AI Security (the team I'm on). We're doing a lot of data plumbing right now building pipelines and hardening infrastructure. There is a research component here as well though--figuring out how to train novel models and understanding exploits, working with PhDs and reading papers, and skilling up what "red teaming" this space even looks like. I'm on this team.

#2: InfraSec. Figma uses AWS extensively and we've been working with other platform teams to harden this part of the stack. Some really smart people that I enjoy working with a lot and a portion of my time is spent on these problems too.

#3: AppSec. Figma uses a lot of Ruby, but increasingly Golang too. I joined this team initially and can answer any questions. The major efforts are around trying to harden the stack to make things "Secure by Default" and also decreasing complexity in areas like permissions which has grown pretty wild. (There are some blog posts on this if you're curious)

Happy to chat through any of these. In general we're looking for 8+ years of experience currently, though if you feel particularly excited and have a strong background for any of these please shoot me an email. :)
And Congress notably passed the dang thing and has pointedly refused to come back and limit it or curtail the admittedly expansive interpretations subsequent presidents have made of it, so I very much doubt they're going to ding a given president now.
In the beginning the concepts of variables and merging can be more powerful than a language.

Once upon a time I think Basic was such used as a decent beginner language to quickly outgrow.
The president telling any member of his cabinet to do anything is presumptively an official act, and the evidence of him doing so is categorically forbidden from being used as evidence. (Hell, that's more extreme than even Trump's lawyers asked for! This basically overturns US v Nixon in its quest to elevate

This is an opinion that might make sense if we were being asked if a president ordering drone assassinations makes him liable for murder. In the context of the president trying to instigate a coup for not being reelected, to the point that his own government is threatening mass resignation if he carries it out in protest at the sheer unconstitutionality of it... this is the kind of question that almost begs SCOTUS to say "make a narrow ruling as to whether or not this specific instance is permissible" and SCOTUS decides instead to make a grand, sweeping proclamation for all ages and circumstances and neglect to look at the specific facts in this case and leave it unanswered here.

Roberts, let this case be your Dred Scott decision, your Korematsu decision. You've certainly done more to torpedo the credibility of the court in one decision than any other case in the past few decades... and that's saying quite a bit.
Federal (and state, and local) law enforcement are not empowered to kill. Their job is to bring defendants to trial, where the judicial system determines innocence or guilt and then determines the sentence.

If they were, the whole cop-killers, BLM, excessive use of force issue would not be an issue. The law would just say "Okay, a cop killed someone, that's their job, get over it." You can argue that the criminal justice system is too light on cops, but the fact that the criminal justice system is even involved means that killing people is not part of a cop's official job duties.
I'm working on a personal computer (hardware and OS) that safeguards your attention rather than trying to distract you or trick you into buying something.

This is not an accurate reading. In the decision, gathering of evidence is not protected by immunity.

People are jumping on language in the decision that says discussions or probings about the criminal nature of the crime would not be admissible.

So Nixon ordering Watergate would still be admissible - Nixon discussing with his legal team or cabinet after Watergate broke would not be.
> is just ignorant and inane

My workplace was enforcing a vaccine mandate through an unconstitutional authoritarian justification jammed through a federal regulatory agency. The vaccine does not prevent transmission and offers little benefit to someone who's already survived the disease and is otherwise healthy and especially young. And it was the same sort of ultimatum that Harvey Weinstein would use "I'm not forcing you but if you don't have sex with me you don't get the job."
That would imply "I prefer rib-eye though, from a cow, not a lab" is not necessarily true, then.

I certainly prefer a rib-eye to tofu, but that's not the question.
Well you can always impeach a president.
Not less than the average sacrifice a soldier made. The average soldier would not sign up if they had a significant chance of going to prison afterwards.

Yes it's too much to ask every president to significantly risk jail time for being president.
> > Judges can't gin up new "rights" from "emanations from penumbras" in the Constitution.

> The 9th amendment (and federalist #84) would have some things to say about this.

Funny how the 9th amendment was meant to be a bulwark against textualism, isn't it? Much like the "well-regulated militia," this original text of the constitution is ignored in favor of latter-day ideology.
Just apply to a big company. Any big company should do, but to be on the safe side, apply to an IT job where the employer is not a "tech company."

Data & the Ship's Computer are separate entities running on different substrates. I think that Data is an example of "AGI", while the Ship's Computer is excellent at responding to natural language queries.
I'm not so sure about that. From this ruling:

> Testimony or private records of the President or his advisers probing such conduct may not be admitted as evidence at trial.

And the 'smoking gun' implicating Nixon:

> Nixon then released the tapes six days later. On one tape was the so-called "smoking gun," showing that six days after the break-in Nixon had tried to use the CIA to block the FBI investigation of the burglary.

IANAL, but my understanding is under this ruling those tapes would have never been made permissible evidence in court. Giving orders to the CIA is certainly an official act, as much as granting pardons is, and this court has established the examination of said motives is out-of-scope:

> In dividing official from unofficial conduct, courts may not inquire into the President’s motives. Such a “highly intrusive” inquiry would risk exposing even the most obvious instances of official conduct to judicial examination on the mere allegation of improper purpose. Fitzgerald, 457 U. S., at 756. Nor may courts deem an action unofficial merely because it allegedly violates a generally applicable law.

Those aren't conflicting statements.

It started off as a project made solely for SerenityOS (as in no relation to other OSes). Now they switched and have been working on Linux/MacOS/Unix versions. The development thing is that they're not ready yet for any release.

> We can't have the courts deciding whether Presidents had good or illegitimate reasons for any arbitrary decision that they made during their presidency.

Why not. The vice president exists for a reason? Here in Europe, in the entirety of Europe, if a president or prime minister commits a crime, they will be prosecuted. If we can do it, why can't the USA?

After all, no one is above the law.

If anything, the more power you have, the more scrutiny you should be under.
This article doesn't explain how the recall process would (or, more likely, wouldn't) work for Fisker. I.e. if a serious safety flaw were discovered, potentially one that even put other cars/people on the road at risk, what would happen?
My dad taught me to program using BASIC back in the early 1990s. I copied code from the "More BASIC Computer Games" book and saw how the programs were put together.
Well, I hope no one will listen to you and your Luddite friends because generative AI is amazing and one of the best things humans have created in my lifetime. Take all the available data and make amazing and fun things with it! That's what the Internet was created for.
People throw that proof around all the time; but all it does is show that a neural net is equivalent to a lookup table; and a lookup table with enough memory can approximate any function. It's miles away from explaining how real world, useful, neural nets, like conv-nets, transformers, LSTMs, etc. actually work.
And it's not necessary for every project.

It's nice to have when it is though.

The cost is coming down. Proof automation is incredible today and rapidly improving. This is the part that does the tedious parts of a proof for you so that you can focus on the theorems that matter. The languages and proof systems themselves are easier than ever to pick up and use which is bringing the skill cost down.

I don't think most software projects need a huge, dedicated team of specialists to benefit from formal software verification.
A lot of presidents did a lot of wrong. The ones who did not would be a shorter list.

Hmm, i never provided a testcontainer myself, but i have used docker images in a testcontainer. That is pretty straight-forward.

The specialized testcontainers just pass down or expose more config parameters, imho, because they possess more knowledge about the docker container that it is about to start. For SQS i could imagine, that it is convenient to expose uri or arn or even auth parameters, that one then can refer to when setting up tests with dynamic config parameters and to setup the sqs client.

Localstack i have not used so far. I use containers often for database tests also.
> And the prosecutor may admit evidence of what the President allegedly demanded, received, accepted, or agreed to receive or accept in return for being influenced in the performance of the act. See 18 U. S. C. §201(b)(2). What the prosecutor may not do, however, is admit testimony or private records of the President or his advisers probing the official act itself.

The argument is not that all recordings are off limits, but if the President asks his lawyer "what is a bribe?" that can't be used as evidence he took a bribe.

A president who is willing to do those things, and has a military willing to carry those orders out, isn't likely to be stopped by the court telling them it's illegal.
I Probably Hate Writing Code in Your Favorite Language
Yes, answers were distilled from a much stronger model. On the one hand, you can argue that this is exactly what the LMSYS, WildBench etc datasets are for (to improve performance/alignment on real-world use cases), but on the other hand, it's clear that training on the questions (most of which are repeatedly used by the (largely non-representative of general population) users of the ChatArena for comparing/testing models) makes ChatArena ELO less useful as a model comparison tool and artificially elevates Gemma 2's ChatArena score relative to its OOD performance.

At the end of the day, by optimizing for leaderboard scoring, it makes the leaderboard ranking less useful as a benchmark (Goodhart's law strikes again). The Gemma team obviously isn't the only one doing it, but it's important to be clear-eyed about the consequences.
Which is why we invented laws and legal systems to codify such things.

Did you commit a crime, yes/no? Let's bring it to trial.

The circumstances are messy in all real world instances, but the outcome is binary.

Refusing to even put a president on trial is more black and white, because it's a clear "no, not illegal" without even discussion.
Congress has the power to declare war. But Congress has also passed the War Powers Act which states the President can use the military for short periods of time. Are you claiming the War Powers Act is unconstitutional?

Trade between equal-ish partners is fine and should be free and unencumbered except for a few things where you want to make sure you're also self-sufficient (like defense and ensuring your local food production can cover your population)

Trade between unequal partners (or whatever you want to call companies offshoring manufacturing) needs friction. Some amount is good to equalize global economies, too much makes your local poor suffer for the benefits of your local wealthy. It is especially bad when offshored labor is being done to avoid local environmental restrictions, worker protections, etc. i.e. manufacturing which is only cheap by being irresponsible to your workers and the world.
Official acts are still official regardless of the underlying reason and according to this case courts aren't even allowed to examine those reasons.
Obama ordered Bin Laden killed. Should he be prosecuted for that?

Remember that the President can still be impeached for "high crimes and misdemeanors".
It went viral on Twitter this weekend, which is probably why more people are noticing it now.
Great point and I agree. Balancing the need to launch the thing is the need to improve over time, else the human cost begins to outweigh the benefit.
Show HN: Pitch simulator to help you overcome your public speaking fear
I've been building a few small apps in the mental health space together with a therapist. Our latest app uses exposure therapy, and since this type of therapy is also used to treat performance anxiety, I figured I could use it to help with my fear of public speaking.

Anyway, I had a bit of fun over the weekend and built a small 1-minute simulation where you can practice your pitch in front of an AI audience.

Nope, but I think most Republicans think that.

Happy user for years here. Keep up the good work!
Presumably people (guys? My guess is 100% guys) who bought Fiskers could afford to lose the money, OR they wanted to look like guys who could afford to lose the money - that's what conspicuous consumption is all about.
