> Elites must use their capabilities to do what the public wants them to do.

It’s of course ridiculous to expect the city bus driver to take a public opinion poll before they do their job. Public servants get their orders from their managers who are appointed by public officials. That’s their “lane.”

People have a problem with this because they expect that when they elect radicals, the entire state apparatus immediately becomes as radical as the demagogue they managed to get in office. The fact it doesn’t work this way is a feature, not a bug.
Yeah I have a framework 13 and by far my biggest complaint is the extreme heat it runs on by default. I know I will never be buying another framework laptop.

There’s a big difference between something like this and the case of blinding, transient, despair-driven suicidality that we typically think of.

I’d agree that in the transient case, intervention should take place. But in a case like this where it’s planned and reviewed with a doctor, I don’t see any ethical problems.
Since I was a teenager, a mild but persistent acne has plagued my daily life.
Up until the age of 30, I always believed that only medications, impeccable hygiene and weekly physical activity could help reduce the effects.
Then, after a complete change of diet due to my move to Asia, I realized that the main factor was sugar.
By going completely sugar-free in my diet, I no longer have acne at all as long as I keep away from it.
It really got me thinking that most people should explore how their bodies work, without necessarily relying on what works for others or what modern medicine advises, and also that severe fasting is a good way to start the comparison.
> This “anything not expressly allowed must be forbidden” is the exact opposite of how US law works.

With regards to the Constitution, the 10th Amendment would disagree.
Generally evidence gathered by the authorities may not be tainted, to discourage the police from breaking the law to gather evidence. This restriction does not usually apply to evidence collected by private citizens.

In other words, if a burglar finds the dead bodies in your cellar, that evidence is admissable.

Less than that, we paid for ours in January and received it in March. The first batch had problems and we had to send them back, which took another 3 weeks. So, let's consider the start date closer to April.

> Congress can actually legislate the right of agencies to interpret the gaps in the laws back into effect - by passing a law that explicitly gives agencies this power.

What would such a law look like?

Let's pretend we're in congress and want to pass a law limiting pollution in lakes and rivers.

One option would be to have a bunch of experts tell us what we should explicitly ban and write those into the law. This option would mean we need to revisit the law every few years as the science changes and new harmful chemicals are developed or identified.

If instead we want the agency to be able to adapt to new situations, how do we word it in a way that won't be overturned? Congress is in charge of legislating. When does writing rules for what is and isn't pollution cross the line to legislating? Can congress turn any of that power over to executive branch agencies without a separation of powers argument coming up?

I have some views on this supreme court and believe they're driven by ideology and not a consistent legal framework. Even if you believe they are completely impartial how would you protect these laws against a future court that may not be?
Elio, the person who did the testing confirmed with me that he has fp8 working.
I never really got the "it's ok to be an imposter", "it's ok to be bad" part... And the internet is full of people saying things like "I am a developer and I have no idea what I'm doing haha".

Seriously, you might be inexperienced or not know everything, but you should clearly not be an imposter and you should be confident in your ability to improve and understand what you don't understand yet.

Take responsabilities and ownership in what you do, don't get behind the easy excuse that it's too complicated. You are the professional and you are getting paid for this.
You would want a CDN anyway to cache data across users, on servers close to those users, cutting the time & energy spent to serve the data.

From 30+ years of dev work:

> - There is no substitute for doing. Less tutorials, more coding.

I'd rephrase that as "just write something!"

Many times I find myself being the classic example of 'perfect is the enemy of good' - I'll think about the perfect solution, rather than write something *now*, that works, and refactor towards perfect. TDD and all that.

Other things:

- Beware the beta and the boss. If it works, it will invariably get shipped if your manager sees it. Many managers cannot put a value on the future cost of maintaining something that's barely good enough.

- Classic Confucius: "I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand." If you're interested enough to read about some tech/language/framework, write something (again!).

- Learn at least one other language and ecosystem in addition to your main one. Even if it is syntactically similar (C++, Java, C#, for example).

> But AI companies have insisted they’re working to suppress harmful content buried within AI training data so things like recipes for explosives don’t appear.

Why the implication that this is not true? I know it’s house style to imply wrongdoing whenever possible, but damn it gets old to read.

And then! To not even cover the difference between models and prompts. Does this jailbreak only work on models where the safety instructions are purely at the prompt level? Is that why GPT-4 resisted, because it has actual trained weights for safety? Does it even have those?

Who knows? Certainly not the article’s author, who has likely focused on searching and replacing “says” with “claims” or “admits” rather than anything relevant to the subject.

I've experienced this too, but I never understood why this phenomenon happens.

Is it because we start adding abstractions before we understand the problems?

Like, there's a certain threshold where keep things too simple makes them too complex, so people start introducing abstractions to reduce complexity. But often it's the wrong abstractions and then we accidentally end up with worse complexity that's harder to unravel.

There must be a term for this waves hand thing?

The problem isn't just new projects, the problem is all of the _existing_ code. "Just rewrite it" is not an answer, even Mozilla - who created rust for the specific purpose of replacing C++ in gecko was not able to simply rewrite all the C++ and they don't even have to worry about API exposure. I would argue a non-zero part of this failure is the apparent unwillingness to consider C++ interop with rust - which rules out incremental adoption, which is _necessary_ for migration of large code bases. That's why languages like Swift are putting so much engineering effort into C++ interop.

In the mean time, there are hundreds of millions of lines of C++ for which mitigating the lack of safety in the language is critical, and saying "why don't you just use language X" does nothing to help that.

Finally just to add some notes: Zig is not a safe language, Node.js is written in C++.
Obsession will stop you from shipping.

Or it's not an obsession.

Very few people can pull off a Steve Job level of nitpicking and actually finish a project.

Yes, the first husband was an inveterate gambler, but she did meet JvN in a casino too, with an absurd story.
Another reminder that soft skills multiply the effectiveness of hard skills.
On the other hand, though, I really wish people would take at least ten minutes to do that digging through the code or reading through the documentation before asking.

One, reading code in general is a good thing to do when you're new, and it's a skill that should be built up in general.

Two, you might actually find what you're looking for, and answer your own question! It's a nice little boost to realize you're getting self-sufficient.

Three, you'll have a lot more context for me, which will make it easier for me to give you the answer. "Hey, how come this function doesn't return what I expected" is a much harder question to answer than "This function says it returns a list of items a user has accessed in a given workspace, but it's returning an empty list; I've checked my local database and it has a good set of seed data I think, and from looking at the function there's nothing obviously filtering out users, so what's going on?"
I haven’t yet, but I’m feeling like I need to again!
Well, you can't read PD packets at that layer - they are only realistically visible at the driver layer and below, as the TCPM driver will manage the PD negotiation (and the main benefit of these analysers, at least for me, was to help write such a driver in the first place :))
Maybe NK will implement mandatory euthanasia at 63 or something crazy.
Not a crypto guy. So would the high-level summary be something like this?

Standard AES-GCM AEAD will catastrophically fail if you use the same nonce twice[1] for different messages, and the size of the size of the nonce is small enough that one cannot safely use a random nonce in many cases.

This work provides an easy to use way to avoid that. It does so by changing not just the nonce but also the key used per message for the AES-GCM call.

And it uses only "plain" AES which is readily available if you have AES-GCM, and no fancy new constructions which may have unknown weaknesses.

The overhead per message is just two small buffers that needs to be encrypted/decrypted with "plain" AES and a longer 192 bit nonce.

nice work! where is the data coming from?
I wish more articles talked about the usefulness of integration tests over unit tests. Personally, I feel that unit tests are overrated and rarely give the required confidence to inform the team whether something is ship ready, whereas integration tests on the common workflows means that even when a bug is introduced, very few users are affected.
What tools are you thinking of? I think saying it links its sources is absolutely not a stretch. My experience is with Kagi and with Perplexity; both of which it has even returned messages saying something along the lines of the source documents not being able to answer the question.
Worked with a bunch of plasma physics postdocs in the early 90s, and fusion was 30 years away... checks calendar... 34 years ago. And that was the joke then.

However, with advances like REBCO tape and so on, it's far more realistic now. I hope we get it in my lifetime, but I'm not confident.

My wife has the ability to have a pantry stocked full of treats and never eat them. I on the other hand have zero willpower in such cases. A pack of oreos will be destroyed in 24 hours, 1 or 2 innocent cookies at a time. Same with chips. These foods just completely break my brain.

Yet if I simply don't have those things in the house, I have no cravings for them at all.

Yeah, the tl;dr is that people who did the amazing work of cracking the bootloader open, also, went for making the GSI ROMs actually usable. So... I it works by the way of patching the system image, by adding a service that deals with e-ink stuff (It works surprisingly well), and, alongside phhtreble patches, pretty much everything works (The only thing I have found to not work, is the Jack. But aside from that? Perfectly fine.).

And considering how niche the device is... I think, GSI was the only way in the first place. Considering how well it works. I mean, it would be nice to have actual proper rom, but... I will take what's given >:D

You really believe it would have been possible to construct a modern wind turbine with the materials available in 1950?

Yes they do give a much better return than any thermal source according to any recent study of LCOE I've come across. Reflected in investment numbers - renewables account for 70% of new global capacity added last year.

Wind, solar and batteries are products of an energy intensive process NOT a combustion based process.

The shift to electricity as the primary energy source is well underway in multiple industries and sectors. Growth appears slow because industrial equipment is built to last decades. In transport (equally as energy hungry as industry), it's happening a lot faster as with domestic (induction cooking and heat pump sales).

Thorium molten salt, promising? You mean they were back in the 1950s/1960s in Oak Ridge? The first experimental molten salt reactor ran for a few days before springing a leak and being decommissioned. Or the later one in the 1960s which ran for 4 years (only managing to operate for 40% of the time)? There's a whole bunch of reasons that the PWR emerged as the dominant nuclear generation tech from forest of experimental reactor designs in the mid 20th century.
I bet they meant what they wrote, since it makes more sense than what you're suggesting they meant.
Because humans have rigid mental models, tradition and cultural inertia, and broadly speaking, an unhealthy relationship with death. It comes for us all, but few want to deal with the anxiety and feelings about sudden loss of existence, not to mention system incentives to prevent a more optimal outcome for human participants.

I've been called back to code long after I left an org, and have had to review my own code 10-12-15 years after the fact. Seeing both the positive and negative aspects of decisions having played out in the real world was something it's hard to get from reading, and I'd argue somewhat harder to get even if you stay inside the same org for that length of time. Staying on the inside, you'll rationalize a lot of the changes to the code, the team and org over time, and it may be harder to be more objective about the impact the code has had.

I was quite proud of some decisions, but realized the negative long term impact of others. Trying to share that experience and whatever 'wisdom' or 'lessons learned' with others has been its own challenge in some situations, because you can easily come across as "the old person" who doesn't "get it" wrt to current trends. Some issues are evergreen and fundamental, but it's difficult for less experienced people to understand why some of these things are really core. I'm not sure there's much substitute for experience in many cases.

It’s mostly about diminution: Czech and Slovak are mutually intelligible, but describing one as a dialect of the other is likely to cause offense. This is particularly salient in the case of Yiddish, where relabeling as a dialect distorts the historical relationship between European Jewry and Europe.

(I don’t know anything about the commenter you’re referring to, but I suspect I would be mildly annoyed by a forum of Germans insisting that my family’s mostly dead language was “just a dialect“ of their language. Which is distinct from the unobjectionable claim that Yiddish is a Germanic language.)

It's not the documentation change that's the problem. It's the fact that they changed implementation-defined behavior to undefined behavior in the first place (then changed the documentation to follow). Or equivalently, they changed "recommended" to "required".

In particular, the "without ill effects" is no longer true. It's possible to #ifdef to detect broken libc/compiler combinations, but I'm not confident that avoiding explicit use of __builtin_dynamic_object_size will prevent optimizations from taking advantage of false assumptions based on __attribute__((malloc)).
