The article mentions Clarence Thomas has been courted (even bribed?) by the very people paying the lawyers trying to overturn Chevron. I think it's naive to believe the judges don't have policy preferences that are strongly reflected in their rulings... If that wasn't the case the GOP wouldn't have blocked nominations from Obama to get their preferred judges in.
Yes, it’s a terrible babysitting technique.
Not just the US. Look at how Germany took a generation to fulfill its promise to end nuclear power, waffled so many times, and came across as not taking its climate change and security commitments seriously in the end.

It is not so much that I think they should have banned or not banned nuclear energy but that the process they went through to do it was damaging to legitimacy.
Absolutely true.

But there's also a revolving door between the regulators and the companies they regulate. Sure, Congress is dysfunctional. But regulators are also flawed.
I agree.

The implication in my post is "if the reason was size, it's invalidated later"
The obvious example is pro-choice people who wish that Congress would pass a law that favors their position, and have been forced to rely on weird Supreme Court rulings by activist judges instead.

You can argue that the pro-choice people should just accept that Congress does not decide in their favor, that this is a democracy and in a democracy sometimes you lose. But it's not like Congress has decided in favor of their opponents either. They just decide nothing. If Congress actually decided one way or the other then at least people would know where they stand and could stop feeling anxious about it.
I'd guess that most buyers of objects made from rhino horns are more interested in its rhino horn nature than its keratin composition. If keratin became suddenly abundant, I doubt it'd impact the rhino horn market very much

I know nothing of that market though, could be entirely wrong
I hope I don’t have to work in a project with Conventional Commits.

- The mandatory formatting takes up prime real estate in the subject line

- You don’t get much data out of it: one byte (rounded up) since it’s just “type” and “is breaking change or not”. Not a great trade considering how much it sticks out

- It subjectively looks bad: “feat”, “chore”, codey exclamation mark (punctuation) for breaking changes, and BREAKING CHANGE in all-caps (it’s supposed to be machine readable so why shout, your programs are supposed to pick up this for you)

- You have to care about this for every final commit that lands in the project

- Just to serve a changelog (which is supposed to just ape the git log?)
This idea was featured in The Three Body Problem trilogy.

The problem is modulating the signal. The only way is to move large masses quickly.
The solution to these issues isn't to simply not have those features, but to make it possible to toggle those features on/off.
You say probably and I guess that guesswork is what it comes down to.

I think that p65 warnings are only slightly better than random in terms of identifying risky objects. I would guess they are only applied half the time if the item contains a known chemical, and half the time it contains a chemical, it has no label.

Also, the threshold is so poor, you have no idea if an item is actually dangerous even if it is correctly used.

Last, it is pretty unclear what they mean. When I walk into a p65 building, does that mean I am taking a real risk, or that I shouldn't eat the building because the paint contains lead. Same for the bowl.
As a general rule, I don’t like small eReaders (for which my primary experience is my phone). I find I read much less when using them, because the act of turning a page tricks my brain into thinking I’ve made more progress than I have. Consequently, it makes even short reading sessions feel like a chore.

That said, I think I would love this thing for one very specific use case: backpacking! Space is always at a premium, and I’ve long lamented the Kobo Mini never got a frontlit model.
I've been recently working on the process to improve this at my day job. A coworker made a point to make very clear distinction between change logs and release notes, and its made a huge difference in how I approach and think about the problem.

A changelog is a raw, engineering driven manifest of everything that has changed. This log sometimes needs more context. Okay the wizbang had a hoozit added, what the hell does this mean and why do I care? Or it needs less and a lot of the engineer rambling needs to be stripped out.

The changelog is an input to a release notes process. This is where refine the wording and fix it up for end user consumption. Having a clear changelog pointing back to individual PRs and engineers lets us go back and talk to folks and clean things up and have final wording checked. There is no amount of automation that can every replace this process. It's part of the finishing touches and craftsmanship our customers expect.

Nothing I'm saying here is any different than what you are saying. My changelogs are the same as your drafts. I just found having those clear definitions and separate terms made it easier to sell the process and have people understand the big picture.
Some of it, definitely. But if the purpose is to seek others and announce yourself (like we did with Voyager 1 and 2), then you'll want it to be plain.
Also - Public radio transmissions are not encrypted (as your purpose is to have as many listeners as possible... You monetize on ads).

> I suspect any careless flight attendant involved in a turbulence-related accident would learn their lesson after the first time, and take better safety precautions.

They are briefed, no need to learn their lessons after the first time. However, it's part of their job to walk around the plane (eg to serve food), and so they're less likely to be seated than pax. That is the (rather obvious) explanation for the fact that they constitute a very high proportion of victims, not "careless"ness.

My best hope is this may actually encourage people to come up with better solutions; it feels like we've got into this stalemate where no one wants to fix the problem, and homeless camps are not great compromises.
The medium is the message. If we detected a modulated signal in gravitational waves, it would be like an Iron Age tribe receiving a 100 foot tall perfectly polished stainless steel statue with ornate inscriptions and pictograms. It would be recognizable and within our conception, but it would also be a demonstration of development and access to resources beyond our imagination. That's the upside. In a galaxy of sparse and sparingly advanced civilizations, the message might be "fear us and stay away" in a way that EM would not convey.
We need to go back to using the AI tech stack as a tool for (broadly speaking) automated pattern recognition, i.e. it can be great at image analysis and spotting early cancerous changes in lungs, but it ought to stop at pre-qualification stage and leave it up to the human to decide what the change is and what to do with it. What the AI crowd today want is all the photos in the world to be used to train models to recognise cancerous changes and then accept blindly the following diagnosis: "it is a cancerous change of human lung tissue, therefore the patient is a labrador with chickenpox and we recommend immediate removal of the patients left wing." When you tell them it's pure garbage, they come back with answers worthy of the slimiest orators in history and solutions that Rube Goldberg would not have thought of.

I very seldom experience hallucinations and I'm a really heavy user of ChatGPT. Can someone give me a prompt that is likely to generate hallucinations?
Yeah. Reading the opinion, the logical argument of criminalizing a status (homeless) versus an action (camping in public) makes sense. The action applies to everyone.

We as a society need to continue trying to solve the problem of homelessness. However, leveraging the 8th Amendment, in part, to do it doesn’t make sense.
If this has a chance of getting to 100% of the population, I think if I were the rhino I’d want to take those odds given the alternative is being hunted.

And if it’s eg 50%, I’d very much want to be in the injected 50% because all poaching effort would be in the non treated population. Obviously assuming all animals in an area were injected and that was known to poachers.

Devil's advocate: isn't a lifelong politician an expert in politics? Isn't it the case that with so many noobs in Congress nothing is getting done because they simply don't know how to politic to get things done? All they know how to do is run to the nearest TV camera and start slandering everybody they don't like. Then they wonder why they can't broker deals to get what they want.

Besides, very few doctors, engineers, and scientists want to have anything to do with politics. They generally abhor the practice of politics and generally don't see it as a skill they need to develop. Without that skill, they'll be just as ineffective as the Congress we have today.

> Declaratively describe your UI, React paints it. That's it. No app state management.

"that's it" does not paint the full picture. Yes, UI = function(state) is very convenient but the way React implements it inverts the problem. Now instead of having to figure out ways of updating everything you have to go through numerous hoops to get only the things you need to update.
Yeah, maybe I would need clarification on what the person I responded to meant by "severe punishments".

I have thought about the car thing and wondered if I do the punishment wrong and make them run into the street faster.

The first generation of home computers used discrete components for the display controller which is crazy expensive because you need lots of counters, comparators, wide data paths, etc which adds up to a lot of parts.

Second generation machines line the VIC-20 and TRS-80 Color Computer used ASICs for the display controller. Apple though the ][ was on borrowed time and has no idea how long it would last so they were slow to come out with the ][e which was cost-reduced.
Perhaps a good solution would be to form a trust responsible for storing and distributing training data. It could be held in common by all contributors and allow anyone to access high quality curated data. It would need legal allowances and exemption from copyright which would be difficult to work out but perhaps some mechanism could be created where copyright holders could derive benefit from not seeking to have their works removed, not necessarily monetary. This would at least get data collection out of the shadows and allow companies and researchers to attest that they are using the data only for training and not distributing it otherwise. That could go a long way toward clarifying issues of whether or not a book or article was in a dataset, how often it appeared, how many epochs it was used in, whether it only appeared as referenced or quoted by other text, etc. With that kind of disclosure it would be possible to write tests to ensure that the models won’t simply regurgitate the material without attribution or unprompted and publish those tests to assuage fears.
I was thinking yesterday what a mockery of the concept of justiceability some of their past decisions have made. Like the court is forced into a Sophie’s choice on whether to agree to let a Captain Planet villain go free or let the lawyers drain the fund. And the court could also just flatly do a “in a one-time non-precedent-setting ruling, those assets are obviously still under your control and companies cannot indemnify individuals against actual knowing wrongdoing”… but that would never be used in that way for the benefit of mere plebs.

But it does throw the whole idea of injusticeable claims right out the window. Bush had no claim at all, he literally still got thrown the election in a special one-time-ruling.

What they did was a valid exercise of their power, just an extremely distasteful one. Right? As such, they’re literally, by the text of the constitution, an unjusticeable claim. The concept is facially incoherent, the court can justice anything it wants.

The things they choose not to address, literally are because they’re things they don’t care about using their assumed powers to address. They literally invented the whole concept of a “one-off calvinball ruling” and formalized the concept already.

Just your friendly "textualist" wing at work.
> That's the end game. Serfs and the Elite.

Here's the problem: the elite are the ones driving cars. The serfs are the ones riding bikes and taking Ubers. So you deride the changes made to benefit the serfs while also claiming class warfare. Your argument is incoherent.
Yeah, that has been known for a while, I guess at least since the 1960's but given I've seen something similar in Yoga I'd guess way further back. The more important bit though is that there are actually much more effective methods, i.e. while (EDIT: "simple"/non-PNF) static stretching maybe has some place in your routine, depending on your goals, you generally shouldn't rely on them for improving your flexibility.

I practice Karate and it becomes obvious pretty quickly that the small amount of static stretching that's pretty common in many Karate warmup routines does almost nothing for your flexibility.

EDIT: It seems some people include PNF under the umbrella of "static stretches" vs. e.g. dynamic or ballistic. When I'm using the term I'm referring to "simple" static stretches. I think Tom Kurz calls those "static active" or something like that. EDIT2: or they're called isometric stretches in certain literature.

Yes, I think the basic problem is that it's a wide-open user interface that, along with the hype, invites you to imagine that it can answer any question. That's an extremely broad scope!

Compare with an ordinary UI where it's clear that it only does one kind of thing. It doesn't have to refuse to do things when it's obvious that it doesn't do what you want.

Something like Copilot or Cody is more clearly a programmer's tool. That's still an extremely broad scope (any programming language? Any domain?) but it's at least less prone to imaginative flights of fancy.

Replying with "Sir, this is a Wendy's" is more reasonable when it's clearer up front what you do.

I'd love to see where in the APA you feel that this is demanded and why during the interim 80 years of court decisions relying on the APA that no other court deemed it necessary.
This seems a result of relying on the LLM to accurately extract information that needs to be exact.

I touch on this from my own experience:
https://youtu.be/cs5cbxDClbM?si=IQIFAD38cVzLCs55&t=486

Basically if you have the actual "factual" information, use it directly instead of hoping the LLM will accurately extract it and use it as part of a function call. In this case they already know what the accurate URLs are, just use it.

Targeted ads have famously led to less blog spam and SEO shenanigans, and a more useful web…

You said this stuff built the web but the web existed before the wholesale harvesting and sale of personal data. Businesses which rely solely on personal data as a revenue stream would have to change their model. Businesses which rely on advertising which does so would have to change as well. No one advertises “randomly”. Yes, non-targeted ads are less valuable than personally targeted ads. That’s sort of how that whole bit works. So?

This idea that there are parts of the web that are so useful but can somehow only be funded with 24/7 surveillance is absurd.
The pendulum swings. For decades we had an activist progressive court and now we have an activist conservative court.
Yes, trailers are built-in and serve the metadata purpose in a fair amount of projects already.

There’s also more freedom to be verbose (“Change-For-Downstream-X”) since they are at the very bottom of the commit message. You can even filter out certain trailers with git log.

The Conventional Commits people were apparently not aware of this capability when they started (understandable since the tooling is niche). You can see they had some back and forths about trying to get their “footers” in line with trailers and how they had to stumble across misunderstandings about how they work.
But isn’t that the case with everything? You can’t take anything at face value and never in history have you ever been able to.

When you read a news article, you have to know about the publication before you can contextualize the article.

When you read a restaurant movie review or rating, you have to know what the general average is and trends of the source before you can interpret the rating.

When you read about some food being healthy, you need to know if they mean nutrient wise or calorie wise to contextualize “healthy.”

Just reading hackernews, you know how people on here swing about different issues so when an article comes up on one of those issues, you know how the comment section may perceive the issue.

To me, prop 65 is just another thing that provides a signal if you want to contextualize it.

Sometimes the reasoning is specious and a fig leaf (e.g., Heller); have no idea how good it is here.

You have 10 days of work, two of which go to planning and retro. Now you have 8.
But, is there any kind of testing process before the release? Almost no one has CD. CI, sure, but CD? Almost never. So if you assume a few days for QA if you have it, now you have 5 days to work. Only, the pointing was done with "T-shirt sizes" without really knowing how to do the work, and you're dealing with code created by this very process, so it is sloppy code, built in a pressure cooker, and you have to understand what the last person did before you can extend it. You'd like to make it better, but then you'll look bad compared to anyone who doesn't roll something over to the next sprint and ships whatever hacks work, however vile.

Good luck!

My solution is to ignore the deadline and do what's right and explain why, as I go. This will only work with great product folks, not mediocre ones.
I really don't like this ruling. My reasoning is that a public park, for instance, is public property available for use to everyone. Anywhere you go will either be private, or public property. The homeless cannot sleep on private land, fine, but it's coldly unreasonable to say they cannot sleep in the park at night. During the day, ok, move along, I can accept that but.. The homeless are humans and we should stop treating them as a general nuisance. Any one of us could just as easily find ourselves homeless, falling from great success.

100%. It’s obvious that text based learning is not the best for many fields. An image, diagram, animation or game mechanic can make concepts “click” much quicker and better. With the ever increasing sophistication of society we need to focus on better ways of learning.

If driving is so bad, and public transit is so convenient, why are people still driving?

People like this author write from a position of "people are stupid; they don't know what's good for them, so let me enlighten them". It's this assumption that is stupid.

People want the most convenience in their lives. If you want them to use public transit, make the public transit more convenient and cheaper than driving! I mean, take a look at a city like Tokyo. How many people drive there? Almost everyone takes public transit, putting NYC to shame. There is no need to drive in Tokyo! As a tourist, a 3-day all-you-can-travel subway pass costs less than $10, which is < $3.50/day and subway stations are every couple of blocks. How's that for convenience?

Instead of trying to tax the people into complying with your desires, make them want to do so of their own free will!

For sure, the President and Congress try to get Justices who agree with them. But you only have to go back to Anthony Kennedy and David Souter to realize that once they're on the Court, the Justices don't seem to ever feel beholden to the party or President that appointed them. George H. W. Bush appointed Souter, who ended up as one of the most reliably liberal Justices on the Court. Trump has been consistently smacked down by the very Justices he appointed.

And as sketchy as some of Thomas's dealings look, he's one of nine. Assuming for the sake of argument that he IS bought and paid for, you still need at least four other people to sign on to anything he says for it to be a ruling.

What you would be looking for is actually the forks of redis that came about after the license change. This has existed for awhile as a redis alternative, but not a step-in replacement.

The 2 main ones are:

Valkey - run by most of the large corporations (AWS, Google, Microsoft, Alibaba, etc.) that used to have developers assigned to the Redis project doing Open source work and they just run this fork now

Redict - Another fork that seems to have quite a bit of engineers behind it
