Ironically, my take is "agentic workflows" are being pushed by the big globally integrated consulting shops in order to justify why a solution that only solves part of the task should still be funded.

> Read the judgement. It's literally in the first pages.

I read it. I read that it's absolute immunity in core function, which seems pretty damn broad to me. Can you explain how nonreviewable power over control of the military and DOJ fits the description of "limited"?

> A President can't pardon non-federal crimes

He won't need to -- the whole point of giving the President this broad unreviewable power was so that non federal officials couldn't harass the president by charging him with crimes for carrying out his official duties. Where again what constitutes an "official duty" is left up to SCOTUS.

> Believing that ordering the assassination of elected officials would be considered lawful by judges is just so insane that it makes Alex Jones look like a legal scholar.

The prospect of this very ruling was considered so insane by legal scholars so as to be implausible, and yet here we are!

Judges don't have to find the assassination of elected officials to be legal, they just have to find the Supreme Court doesn't allow them to use most of the evidence of that crime at trial, and that they must presume motive for the assassination was good. How do you prosecute that case? Can't subpoena any evidence because it wouldn't survive an "absolute immunity" challenge by the President's lawyers.

That is the implication of the plain text of this law, it's with Justice Sotomayor is worried about, and I think it's pretty beneath you to try to compare her vast level of expertise to Alex Jones.
It’s the sci-fi death star cyberpunk dystopia aesthetic. The place was demolished before most of us ever heard about it, and yet we feel like we’ve been there, crawling through its air ducts, picking up a health boost at its meat markets, buying ammo from its shady traders, escaping from the cops through its windows, getting an achievement for doing it all without injuring the civilians…

34 felonies for paying someone not to talk about something? That sounds like the mundane, everyday activity I can possibly imagine at the highest level of politics.

ZFS does nothing to protect you against RAM corrupting your data before ZFS sees it. All you'll end up with is a valid checksum of the now bad data.

You can Google more, but, I'll just leave this from the first page of the openZFS manual:

Misinformation has been circulated that ZFS data integrity features are somehow worse than those of other filesystems when ECC RAM is not used. This is not the case: all software needs ECC RAM for reliable operation and ZFS is no different from any other filesystem in that regard.[1]

There is no evidence that hierarchical decision making works better for complex organizations.

It's possibly true, but there's no evidence it is.

I guess the question also depends on what is "better". Certainly it's better for those with authority, but it's very difficult to compare that with another structure.

The question was about historical time keeping in general, not about leap seconds specifically, so I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here.

Also, astronomers care about leap seconds, and astronomy is an important tool in making observations which lead to predictions about our universe, so I wouldn't be so cavalier in labeling it an "obscure curiosity."

My (SWE) job search this year has been exceptionally slow compared to past years. It's discouraging when the statistics don't reflect that, and pundits talk about correcting high salaries for devs — for those of us without jobs, we're having a hard time getting an interview at all, forget about salary negotiation.

I'm not sure how aggregate job posting statistics are collected, but the difference compared to a couple years ago is pretty stark. There are fewer job postings, for one, and more agency postings — meaning, 10 agencies posting for the same job. Except I can't get them to call me back either.

Many positions I apply for just disappear without the usual automated "thanks, maybe next time" email.

The one promising lead I had (with multiple interviews) went poof — they didn't fill the position; just stopped interviewing for it.
I think one has to admit the possibility that a shared leadership model is simply at a competitive disadvantage. Looking to biology, there are advantages to specialized brains and central nervous systems.

Organisms without centralization abound, but rarely in direct competition with animals. They tend to exist in separate niches and compete with each other.

I think the primary constraint would be the antenna. Generally speaking, the longer the wavelength, the longer the antenna needs to be to efficiently receive it (or transmit it). You can still receive/transmit with a too-short antenna, but efficiency drops off very quickly.
Interesting. I lucid dream quite frequently, and not only am I perfectly aware of my waking reality, but I have full dual body control. Like if I’m flying around but I can tell that my real leg is uncomfortable I can make the adjustment without thinking twice about it.
No. The key observation of BOLT is that by collecting profiling on an optimized binary and then mapping the profiling onto a compiler's decompilation of that optimized binary, you get better profiling fidelity.

My intuition for why BOLT works is that:

- If you try to profile an unoptimized (or even insufficiently optimized) binary, you don't get accurate profiling because the timings are different.

- If you try to profile an optimized binary and then rerun the compiler from source using that profiling data, then you'll have a bad time mapping the profiler's observations back to what the source looked like. This is because the compiler pipeline will have done many transforms - totally changing control flow layout in some cases - that make some of the profiling meaningless when you try to inject it before those optimizations happened.

But BOLT injects the profiling data into the code exactly as it was at time of profiling, i.e. the binary itself.

It's totally insane, wacky, and super fucking cool - these folks should be hella proud of themselves.
So, you can build complex algorithms to smear leap seconds into clocks at random intervals, or you can use a published database to adjust TAI time to human time.

I think the later is less fraught with problems and doesn't require software changes in order to realize updates.

You're going to have to deal with the offset one way or another. I'm simply suggesting a means to keep the offset but not have to worry about how to realize that in terms of complicated hardware hacks.
I think the harsh conditions in Australia, where there a thousand ways to die, put the onus on truth and preservation of it in the oral tradition. Unlike most other cultures where it's kind of ok to gradually deviate from the truth.

Why not proportional like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%27Hondt_method ?

Every time the random tweek changes the winer, people will be angry because exactly that time the other candidate was a moron.

Here in Argentina we have a weird system for senators. The winer gets 2 and the second one gets 1. It's quite similar to proportional most of the time, and it gives a small boost to the governor of the province (that usualy is of the same party of the winer) to negotiate with the president.
If some of the optimization gain is from bad alignment of potentially fused operations that can't because they straddle a 64 byte cache boundary, it feels like this is something the compiler should be aware of and mitigating.
I'm looking for a machine like this (affordable, small, low power usage) with 64GB memory. If anyone has any recommendations I'm all ears.
I figured!

If you earnestly wished to "see the point", you're tripping yourself with by taking for granted "what it means to everyone else.." and things like "living in idea space"

There are traditions of study/thought that use ideology the way you mean, and traditions that don't. The variety of use is well-represented and has been since the word came into use. Likewise, "idea space" is a specific concept that some people accept as sensible and others don't. Again, the variety of relationships to it is well-represented (and stretches back millennia, on that one).

You can actually see an example of this kind of differing-perspectives-in-wide-use in the way use used "the moral basis of Christianity but not the religion itself" in your own comment above. While Platonic ideas predate Christianity and have much influence on its shape and study in the West, the that statement would strike most traditional and many modern Christian thinkers as non-sensical. To them, there is no sensible separation of Christianity's "moral basis" from its Church/people and trying to make some distinction is as alien and "pointless" to them as different senses of ideology are to you.

And yet, of course it's interesting to think about Christianity's "moral basis" as an ideology existing in "idea space" because it lets you relate that part of Christianity to other things that you feel are comparable using techniques that you know how to work with and have confidence in. That's pretty much exactly what's going on with social scientists/philosophers who think about ideology in the way I've been describing above.
There are lots of empty auto plants sitting in Detroit. Recently one entrepreneur bought the old Lincoln plant in Detroit where he plans on making hybrid pickup trucks. But he has run into one delay after another.

Problem is Michigan's bureaucracy. The articles author, Dug Song, tried to assist a friends company in moving to Michigan. They were natives and wanted to locate here. State told them it would take a year. I'm guessing their VC's wouldn't have found that acceptable ;<).

Texas said thirty days and we are assigning you a full time state employee who will help you cut through any roadblocks in your way. Additionally that employee had the ability to call the Governor any time they ran into any real problems.

Sure, in theory the string 20xx-12-31T23:59:59 should never be created. But if it is created, so what? A time span is off by a second, in the positive direction. Not good, but shrug. I'm not saying it's a good thing. At time recording it's like the computer froze for a second.

Compare this to the problem of there being a unix timestamp integer that refers to two different times, which is what naive positive leap second implementations resulted in. Real time spans being impossibly negative.

Positive leap seconds are orders of magnitude worse.

Unless you're writing time keeping software, negative leap seconds can be ignored and will be "just fine". And if you are writing time keeping or benchmarking software, then this is just another thing to not have a misconception about.

And generally there's two seconds between N and N+2.
Try posting less often, it might improve your post quality.
Thanks to LLMs, we are quite close to achieving this. I can write code in Python (sometimes even plain english), and GPT can convert it to Go or even Haskell if I like. The conversion is accurate 95% of the time on the first attempt in my use cases, and I expect this to improve further with more powerful models in the near future.
I use it primarily with my own Jellyfin instance, but there are Netflix, Disney+ and pretty much anything you can think of plugins. The YouTube irritatingly complicated to get working, but then there are "play on kodi" plugins for various browser so you can flip what you're watching to the big screen. It's really an amazing project.
Same. When my mostly beloved Microsoft Natural got too mushy and wobbly to tolerate anymore, I replaced it with a TKL which I tolerate but don't love. If I had it to do over again I'd get a full sized.

For my home rig I'm running a kbdfans odin which is a non-standard layout that gives you 99% of a full size layout but in a size only about 2.5 keys wider than a typical tkl. (Example: https://kbdfans.com/cdn/shop/products/9_08accc65-e9f0-4455-a...)
Appreciate your thoughtful reply - the best input that can be given is general anyways to find a way to apply back to our own world :)

That's fair about your concern about the tooling. In case your'e interested, happy to share a bit more since I come from a web background too a long time ago, but quietly kept my skills at least passable for hobby learning.

Knowing how the tools work is relative to how fast they're evolving, the impossibility of keeping up, let alone finding an application for it (shipping).

I spent pretty much 8-10 hours a day last year keeping up, and it felt like 1 month worth of normal tech progress was happening in 1 week, and stepping away quickly caused a gap.

One viewpoint I opened up to was by solving a problem, with web app, and increasingly adding more and more AI tooling, first staring with api.. and then going beyond is critical because there's a new programming language.

Prompting. Chain of thought, all that stuff. I remember playing around with GPT and having conversations and getting much better results quietly for a very long time until a CoT paper came out and I scratched my head.

All to say, trust your abilty to learn and get to it. The lake of all this stuff is becoming a sea and much bigger very quikly, but the tooling is improving. If I tried to learn everything from scratch, it would be harder 2 years ago than now.

Now, I agree that tying ones self too much to one framework is risky. Framework in AI are early, and don't have a shelf life of years... maybe 6-18 months. Langchain is even starting to fall out of favour for a few other that are simpler from the results of just building and shipping.

You do pick up a ton a long the way. I have known python for a long time and glad I kept it around instead of taking best career practice and floating into management and leadership and getting off the code. The combination of business / problem solving experience in the real world helps a lot to balance out what to do.

I'm not sure I really agree with folks looking down on chatgpt "wrappers"... web apps in a lot of ways are database wrappers then. The value is in putting computers to work for people to make their life better. So I guess part of it is deciding what this all means for you, and base your participation on it.

Lots of places and ways to grow intrinsically, extrinsically and also make a difference in a way that means something to you.

Which laptops support ECC?
Maybe the movement for accessibility? Businesses and institutions are quite accessible for people in wheelchairs.

Another thing that is hard to see is the LGBTQ movement in that it took decades of hard work to get to the progress that we have now and while it is not perfect, the movement continues to work towards improvement.
The question is though, will there be a way to "enforce" lucid dreams? Would be nice to have the option, but as far as I understand it is not really achievable without training and thus getting into degrading sleep quality.
Maybe it's non-normative ways of living? In many places, people are not allowed to live in whichever way they please - there are rules and regulations, mostly in the name of safety (from crime, fire/flood, infection, etc).

Kowloon seems to exist outside/before these restrictions, and might therefore feel more "free" in some way. It might also be why fantasy/science fiction fantasy tends to take place in a slightly more "lawless" and uninhibited world.
I wrote an NES game in 6502 assembly back in 2020. It was a school capstone project and I intentionally wanted to do it “close to the metal”. Outside of that I had seen some people writing NES games in C++, but had heard that it compiled pretty inefficiently. I’m pleased to see projects like this because even if it is a higher level language, it’s important to learn to operate in constrained environments. And it brings more folks into the NES homebrew scene.
You are talking about the social norms I referred to. There is no natural response - those things are learned behaviors (that may be genetically influenced). Not all poor neighborhoods lack social norms, the ones that do have less available commons due to higher rates of violence and petty warlordism.

> But still I think what I am trying to get at is for the vast majority of people and things, we tend to operate pretty evenly.

When is the last time you saw a rich person take the bus? How many of them lobby for higher taxes on themselves to increase the availability and accessibility for regular people? It wasn't working class families hiring disabled "guides" to help them skip lines at Disneyland. There are plenty of ways that things are not operated evenly, even for things that are technically available to everyone.
Microsoft's vfs for git is open source. So is scalar. These are the two main approaches used at Microsoft for large repos. Unfortunately the technically superior vfs approach was a nonstarter on macOS.
I'm surprised they didn't try something less clever to optimize their code first. The assembly code could be rewritten like this, so the test requires one branch at the bottom of the loop instead of two (one to jump to the top and one to branch conditionally), as well as one instead of two ALU operations per loop for X1 (one subtraction to compare X1 to zero, and one to decrement X1, as opposed to using the result of the latter).

stp x29, x30, [sp, #-16]!
fmov s0, #0.0

cbnz x1, exit // Skip loop if x1 == 0.
loop:
ldr s1, [x0], #4

bl foo
// Decrement x1. If x1 != 0, repeat the loop.
subs x1, x1, #1
b.ne loop
// Fall through to exit after the loop finishes.
exit:
ldp x29, x30, [sp], #16
ret

foo:
// ...
ret

Going further, you could just inline foo and omit the RET instruction without doing any trickery with mismatched BL and RET instructions.

I haven't benchmarked this, though, so I don't actually know how much this speeds the code up.
