And in EU, it is technically not prohibited, but haven't really been a thing for a long time.

One caveat: carriers do not really pay for your phones. Your phone bill would list two separate charges: service charge, for calls, internet use, etc., and then the monthly payment for your phone. If you add all those monthly payments over the whole contract period you get maybe 5-10% discount to the regular market price.

The solution provided in the article seems to rip out `Metadata::Cache::getVarsByName` entirely. If it were easy to optimise `Metadata::Cache::getVarsByName` instead, then that would also have been a suitable optimisation.

People with nothing don’t care if they get sent to collections, hence the need to have some control over the device while monies are owed for it. Just like vehicle interlocks for subprime auto notes.

It was pretty good trick for validating ownership of a bank account back in 1998, but I’m happy they are moving to something else. There are far better options, and most banks are capable of much higher assurance validation now.
There are at least two active cargo ports in the New York Harbor: the Port Jersey Marine Terminal in NJ, and the Red Hook Marine Terminal in Brooklyn. I believe the city has also been slowly reactivating the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal.

I don't know if the average resident on NYC benefits much from living near a cargo port. But there are significant benefits to living in coastal areas: water has a moderating effect on climate, provides either natural sewage outfall (or fresh water, depending), and brings in tourists. It's not a coincidence that the overwhelming majority of cities exist on sea or lake coasts, followed by navigable rivers, and that there aren't all that many choice locations left.
Yeah I used it last year to generate homework assignments, and it would give me the results in Pandoc compatible markdown. It was initially magic, but some of the problems didn't actually make sense and might actually be unsolveable, so I would have to go through it line by line and then ask it to regenerate it [1].

Even with that, it took a process that had taken multiple hours before down to about 30-45 minutes. It was super cool.

[1] Just to be clear, I always did the homework assignments myself beforehand to make sure that a solution was solvable and fair before I assigned it.
If you're wondering why the paper seems to complicate "simple" constructs by converting them to control flow graphs — that's because many other kinds of static analysis, like tracking when variables are initialized and overwritten, are even more puzzling when trying to analyze very stateful code directly based on the syntax tree. The graph representation allows splitting the code into smaller blocks, and remove a lot of statefulness from them.

An important but frequently overlooked aspect of the law is that by the time the courts are involve it is often too late for there to truly be justice. Things have often happened that cannot be undone. Often parties that are at fault do not have the resources to pay their share of damages.

No matter what the court does in those situations someone is getting screwed.

I am open to being shown errors in my thinking. So far you have used the tactic of name calling but haven't offered anything that indicates critical thinking. FWIW I have never heard Putin mention any of the points I've mentioned.

I'm not a fan of Putin but he is a superb strategist and a clear communicator who has sadly outwitted US leaders over the past decades, resulting in the US wasting a lot of money and keeping its eye off the ball strategically in other areas of the world.

In the same way that lobbyists are why soft drinks in the US contain harmful ingredients like corn syrup, lobbyists have led the US to spend a lot of money on pointless, strategically stupid wars that have weakened the US tremendously relative to its adversaries.

They should be doing what is right for the American people. There are clearly laws on the books today which infringe on individual freedoms (abortion), harm society as a whole (citizens united), etc.

The 'justice system' is supposed to be the government branch protecting the little guy from powerful elites. I've not often seen that. I see the opposite. If the legal system won't deliver justice, well, people are going to take things into their own hands whether that's 'justice' or not. If you bury your child, and you see the people ultimately responsible get away with it, I'm not sure I could really blame them.

This seems like the fair and just thing to do. Being locked into a carrier is just wrong, but I would accept that if you purchased a discounted phone through the carrier that there would be divorce penalties.
> unless it is a prioritized, canonical implementation it will be missing things

Perhaps. But for now, such canonical implementation (I assume you are referring to the Go one?) is painful to access and has all around really bad user experience. I'm simply pointing out that more ecosystems could learn from .NET's example (or just adopt it) rather than continuing to exist in their own bubble, and more engineers could have zero tolerance to the tooling with bad UX as it becomes more popular.

Now, with that said, I do not think gRPC is ultimately good, but I do think it's less bad than many other "language-agnostic" options - I've been burned badly enough by Avro, thanks. And, at least within .NET, accessing gRPC is even easier than OpenAPI-generated clients. If you care about overhead, Protobuf will always be worse than bespoke solutions like RKYV or MemoryPack.

I'm looking forward to solutions inspired by gRPC yet made specifically on top of HTTP/3's WebTransport, but that is something that is yet to come.

Some hosting providers and inference software might be easier to setup, for now. ;)
But do you have to make it less capable, by being careful on what it's trained on? E.g: banning certain topics (like how to use Lamafile/llama.cpp, knowing what hosting providers have free trials, learning about ways to jailbreak web apps, free inference providers etc)?

Or does the model have to later be finetuned, to not be good at certain tasks?

Or are we not at that stage yet?

Is something like tree-of-thought used, to get the best of the models for these tasks?
Modern UIs are also almost impossible for elderly people to use, precisely because the common sense notions of ‘button’ and ‘scrollbar’ and such are frowned upon and have been all but banished.

> (In my view, this is in fact what ANSI C requires for this type of "undefined behavior," but many others do not agree.)

By not imposing any requirements for undefined behavior, ISO C does not require that, but maybe it ought to.

> Strictly speaking, undefined behavior only means that the Standard does not impose a requirement.

> But what many people mean is that the ramifications are outside the scope of the language or are unpredictable.

The latter is a consequence of the former. Compiler writers treat undefined behavior as though it can't happen, and this causes unpredictable behavior.

Suppose you had code like this in C:

#define Variant1 0
#define Variant2 1

void use_variant(int variant) {
if (variant == 0) {
// Variant1
} else {
// Must be Variant2
}
}

You are assuming your code is always passed a 1 or a 0, not checking for any other possibilities, which is basically treating other possibilities as "can't happen". Code that passes it a 2 might get one kind of behavior now, and another kind of behavior later, when the function updates. Your function may have wildly inconsistent behavior on different versions of the same function when given inputs of 2 because you're treating that as undefined behavior. That's basically how compiler writers treat undefined behavior - just assume it doesn't happen.

And, that's how standard C library functions work. Functions like strlen assume you never give it a null pointer; they will just dereference pointers unconditionally.
> It's super easy to explain what unary means but it's often infinitely easier to use a standard industry term and not explain anything.

What's the standard term? While I agree that unary isn't widely known, I don't think I have ever heard of any other word used in its place.

> gRPC didn't need to be completely broken on HTTP/1.1.

It didn't need to per se (although you'd lose a lot of the reason for why it was created), but as gRPC was designed before HTTP/2 was finalized, it was still believed that everyone would want to start using HTTP/2. HTTP/1 support seemed unnecessary.

And as it was designed before HTTP/2 was finalized, it is not like it could have ridden on the coattails of libraries that have since figured out how to commingle HTTP/1 and HTTP/2. They had to write HTTP/2 from scratch in order to implement gRPC, so supporting HTTP/1 as well would have greatly ramped up the complexity.

Frankly, their assumption should have been right. It's a sorry state that they got it wrong.
I don't excuse their unethical and potentially criminal behavior, but I do think they way people talk about it is detached from reality. The corporate choices likely had some effect on the margin, but I dont think the appropriate disclosure around addiction potential and would have moved the needle much.
I mean, a heterogeneous list is literally a list where its elements may be of different types. To use a tired example, if a list that contains both a Cat and a Dog is not heterogeneous just because both adhere to the Mammal interface, then what is a heterogeneous list?
It's a complex topic. The thing is that sequential mutable state doesn't scale, and you'll quickly have to introduce routines, modules, objects of whatever to have some control over side effects. The natural aspect of a list of instruction is exhilarating for many but is also rope to hang your self because you won't try to separate concepts and scopes since everything is accessible. So much stuff just doesn't happen when you don't use this paradigm. Instead of drowning in state variable improperly synchronised, you suddenly rise above and start rewriting trees.
ok, so now you are just arguing percentages. What is an appropriate amount of the harm to be apportioned to the Sackler family?
No, I think that’s a common fallacy. The lecture I linked uses the example of someone writing a paper to get grants, etc. This is not ”outside your field”.

I studied international politics in college and as a result I read not only a ton of news, but often the primary sources they were based on, and I was shocked by the amount of omissions and oversimplifications. I've never understood people who don't "trust" the news given that it is provably accurate and factual nearly all of the time. But I've long despised the arrogance from mainstream media wherein they confidently decide what to print and what not to print with no explanation or accountability on those decisions.

The number of opioid overdoses between 1999 and 2021 was 645,000, according to CDC. Purdue Pharma brought in $35B in OxyContin revenue from 1995 to 2017. OxyContin was prescribed to 6.2 million people in 2002.

I'll edit the number above to ~100,000 as an estimate of the number of victims, since it looks like I misremembered 645,000 as the number of Purdue-related deaths. Still, that's assuming only 1.6% of those 6.2 million people taking OxyContin in 2002 developed an addiction, which seems low.

I don't think "partly funded by his misdeeds" is an accurate description.

For negligence to arise there must be, inter Alia, duty and proximate harm. I think you’ll find the identity services have a duty to their contractual partner, the website, but not to the victim whose identity was stolen. And there’s a circuit split as to whether any of these people were even harmed.

While litigation seems appealing, the answer here is legislation.
This doesn’t affect equipment installment plans.

The phone is still collateral whether it’s locked or not. In fact, AT&T is the only one of the big 3 carrier that locks their devices that are financed. The other ones don’t bother.

If you terminate your cellular service with an installment plan it’s typical that you immediately owe the balance. Whether the phone is locked or not makes no difference on whether the company can collect on the debt.
I did a quick search for the specs, and, if I am reading it right, Wikipedia [1] gives the filament current as being 350mA at 6.3V, a dissipation of 2.2W. As that current sums to 196A for the 560 tubes, I suspect this is what the 200A figure refers to.

As the tubes are at high vacuum, they are already well-insulated, so I imagine that most of the heat loss is via infra-red radiation. I have a very vague recollection that, in thermionic tubes, the anode has to be kept reasonably cool so that it is not emitting electrons itself. I would be surprised if there are any low-hanging fruit to be plucked here, especially given that vacuum tubes were important technology for a half-century.

Great writeup. To add an example, I personally use JSON for most of my work, but have found myself using XML for certain AI use cases that require annotating an original text.

I dimly recall some sci-fi quantum-technobabble book where a character is reminiscing that a collapsed government's most important duties were (A) identity and (B) official timekeeping.

The US Federal Constitution, back in 1787, immediately authorized a government-run postal service. If a similar scenario was echoed today, I think it would/should contain a government-run identity service.

Governments already have a compelling interest to identify people for the purposes of the legal system, property ownership, etc. With all that happening anyway, might as well have an API that allows for attestation and Single-Sign-On.

And to answer the question, no, the license doesn't restrict a company from offering a hosted version of Hatchet. We chose the license that we'd want to see if we were making a decision to adopt Hatchet.

That said, managing and running the cloud version is significantly from a version meant for one org -- the infra surrounding the cloud version manages hundreds and eventually thousands of different tenants. While it's all the same open-source engine + API, there's a lot of work required to distribute the different engine components in a way that's reliable and supports partitioning databases between tenants.
