It also makes it easier for partisan rulings on a case-by-case basis. If defendant is on your team: allow it, if not, issue a self-contained ruling (or don't pick up the case at all if lower courts ruled against them).

We have front-row seats to how empires decline and fade away. I guess those who missed the 20th century decline of the British Empire (culminating in Brexit) can study this one.
Impeachment is a political process to remove someone from office, it doesn’t send you to prison.
I'm genuinely curious--what should the senate be voting for/against when they confirm a supreme court justice, if not how'd they rule on certain topics?
I think there is some kind of "bias" in how we test LLMs. Most (all?) benchmarks, either those coming from the industry and academia or those end-users like you or me may run on a couple examples all seem to compare LLMs answers with expected answers. This doesn't capture the extent to which one can augment his abilities using LLMs for cases where we don't know the expected answer (and this is precisely why we often turn to LLMs).

One instance of this was when I was able to extend features of a partial std::functional port for the AVR platform and was able to achieve my goals by asking ChatGPT to generate rather complex C++ template code that would have taken me several days to figure out since I'm not a C++ programmer. In about two hours and several back-n-forth between the code and ChatGPT's interface, I was able to integrate the modifications (about 50 LOCs) and save me the daunting and frustrating task of rewriting around 2000 LOCs I had written for the espressif platform. This is what I would have done if ChatGPT wasn't around.

In this context, look-good-but-broken examples are not really a problem when you can identify what is wrong and communicate the problems back to GPT. These cases do not bode well when we are asserting the correctness and autonomy of AI systems, but they are not as problematic when one seeks to augment his own abilities.
Exactly. They needed to come up with a decision which would give them the power to decide this case in the way they preferred, but also to decide future cases completely differently, for example in the case of a Democratic president.
Congress, via impeachment.

Look, the president can't do something like start a war without permission from congress. Congress basically delegated that authority to the president. If the president then uses it irresponsibly (as has happened numerous times since congress made this decision) then that's the fault of congress. They can very easily pass legislation requiring a declaration of war and take that power back if they want to.
Courts don't even decide yes/no. Maybe is an outcome. We don't know is also an outcome.
The problem is that impeachment is a political process, not a legal or judicial process. I feel like using the term "prosecuting" to describe an impeachment trial in the Senate is a bit of a misnomer.

Regardless, impeachment is there to remove the president from power. It can't jail or otherwise punish the president. The regular old legal system should be doing that, for everyone, regardless of whether or not they're an elected official.
Agreed. It’s not as if becoming president is forced on anyone.

Judging from history, it is a pretty dangerous role as well and that doesn’t seem to have dissuaded many people. If there are willing to risk their safety, I’d think the risk of prosecution wouldn’t rank too highly either.
Market has definitely softened, but it mostly seems to be for people who were always marginal anyway.

I only know of unemployed developers who are either extremely junior and insist that it is the responsibility of companies to train (I.e. they refuse to do Udemy and learn more) or older developers who consider themselves "software craftsmen" and thus are too slow and then are repeatedly fired.

I'm overemployed and keep adding more work and jobs.
Nixon, that former president the person you’re responding to brought up, was going to be impeached by his fellow Republican party members.

> On August 5, 1974, Nixon released a transcript of one of the additional conversations to the public, known as the "smoking gun" tape, which made clear his complicity in the Watergate cover-up. This disclosure destroyed Nixon politically. His most loyal defenders in Congress announced they would vote to impeach and convict Nixon for obstructing justice. Republican congressional leaders met with Nixon and told him that his impeachment and removal were all but certain.

That’s called a Controlled Foreign Corporation and it won’t work, because its earnings & profits need to be included on the Subpart F income of the shareholders.

AGPL is the best OSS license to ensure project continuity as Open Source. That simple.

Permissive licenses allow for proprietary forks, which may become more successful than the upstream project.

AGPL would be able to benefit from any improvements from any fork, and all those will remain OSS for everyone.

Nothing written here is related in any way to monetization.
I wonder how that would play out in today's Congress. There is technically no country to declare war on, unless you can declare war on yourself, so they would have to first redefine the United States as two parts. After that is passed, they could declare war on the opposing half. I guess I'm kind of seeing how the Chinese governments got themselves tied up in knots with their continuity of state and all.
Am I missing something about people being surprised or concerned about finances? The article seems to be about the owners being concerned about and working on finding ways to keep their cars running after the company is gone, honestly doesn't even seem mention financial costs as a burden for owners.
Because doing so gives the President tons of incentives for bad behavior. It's a fun case where "risk of prosecution" would result in tons more questionable behavior then less.

Lifetime appointments for Supreme Court Justices is fucking absurd.

My out-of-my-ass fix is that each Justice is on an 18-year term. Every two years one Justice is replaced. Two per Presidential term.

Makes it legitimately fair. Elect a President, get two Justices. None of this "one corrupt game-show host accidentally gets to appoint half the Court" horseshit.
The impeachment clause specifically lays out that impeachment doesn't inhibit criminal prosecution for the same acts. Hell, Trump's impeachment defense was essentially that he should be criminally prosecuted instead of impeachment.
Not a Hindu at all, but to me the idea that an ethnicity should be able to draw lines around itself to defend itself seems self-evident. Self-determinism and all that. And I that is a place where we can come together--come together to agree to follow separate paths and stop trying to force everyone into a generic govt that has to appeal to the lowest common denominator.
Surely the "impeachment exists" arguments are in bad faith. Otherwise, I'm convinced they've abandoned reason.

Impeachment process takes time, and in that window, the president can do whatever. POTUS can even mobilize the army (an official power) to block congress from meeting, since apparently the motive behind the use of official power doesn't matter. If they can't meet, how are they going to impeach.
There are a lot of people already on the H1B train scrambling to avoid leaving the country.

There are a lot of people who don't know how to write a resume.

There are a lot of people who will just spam everywhere without understanding what they're applying for. Hoping someone will bite.

Those resumes are often auto-rejected or quickly rejected. I may have 500 on the queue and know 450 will be a 30 second rejection - still takes forever and it's also demotivating here.

The best key I can say is to write the cover letter, and spend the 15 minutes to match what you do to what they ask for. Bold it if it's in the job description.
What about after he has left office?
This is disinformation. There are multiple instruments for students debt forgiveness - he is using workarounds that SCOTUS did not rule against to achieve the same policy result.

The supreme court shouldn't rule on policy like you suggest, but on the law.
You missed the part where the Supreme Court granted the president immunity.
Yet most of those are written in Go. In fact, the majority of the devops tools themselves (podman, k8s, etc) seem to be written in Go.

Why do you think that is?
> Perhaps future administrations should simply ignore them and dare them to act.

well.. be careful for what you wish for but i see your point. What's the supreme court going to do? Order your arrest by the FBI? Seems like the FBI would go tell them to pound sand.
Also impeachment only removes them from office which is far from a complete punishment. They're still completely free people after impeachment, the only right that's taken away is the ability to be President which is a pretty paltry punishment especially for second term Presidents.
What if he/she assassinates the impeachers as an "official act"? That might be an example of Gödel's Loophole.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6del%27s_Loophole
Discussing the expectations of appointments with potential candidates is an official act as president and would enjoy immunity the same way that conferring to commit crimes with the DOJ does. It is theoretically possible that the dumbest person alive could get convicted but generally the latitude seems to be insanely wide.
Of course, I've really enjoyed your exploration of uxn, and all your comments are accurate.

Uxn11 has a special device to spawn linux processes(like playing a mp3 on disk with aplay), it can be disabled in devices/console, I wonder why it would be acting up, left doesn't do any request to the console's special ports I think, I'll have to double-check.

Left is pretty heavy, it does A LOT, it's definitely not a simple text editor, not only does it do a lot of work locating symbols and navigation strings, the front-end uses a proportional font and does a lot of positioning for it.

I don't think left would be a good candidate for zorzpad, I can imagine a simpler IDE that uses fixed width font, and doesn't try to make any sense of the tal code, syntax highlight, and doesn't support utf-8 glyphs - But Left is not it.

I've ported the classic macintosh notepad application, which I now use daily for taking notes, it has proportional font support, but is monochrome and has a small window, doesn't do anything fancy. Expanding this into a proper text editor with scrolling might be more realistic than trying to fit left to a monochrome screen.

https://git.sr.ht/~rabbits/uxn-utils/tree/main/item/gui/note...

But really, I think it'd be better to write a whole new text editor specifically for zorzpad, left has a very specific goal in mind, and I can imagine one like it designed specifically for the zorzpad. Writing text editors, or block editors, is an art that shouldn't be forgotten, anyone who's got an opportunity to write one, should do it.

I've read as much of your works as I could find, you've been a big influence on the work I do nowadays, it's an honor to read a message from you. Thank you.

If by "Everyone" you mean at least one of the sitting supreme court justices. What is considered "official duty" is not clearly defined, and will certainly be twisted to include things that seem like they obviously shouldnt be considered "official".

But if a president claims that a surgical strike to eliminate an "enemy of the country" was within their prerogative, then yes, a president can murder somebody without fear of consequences.
Yeah but pardoning the killer is. Why the killer chose to do it, who knows? Frankly, even if the phone call is leaked, motive doesn't matter apparently.
Yup, all the originalists and textualists on the court running and hiding when the outcome benefits their person. Instead it's just "Well, we like trump so let's benefit him".

What a horrible corrupt court.

I'm 1000% sure that if trump wins and starts prosecuting his political rivals the court will give it the nod as being AOK.
Imagine Biden assassinating Trump under the pretense that Trump likely had other classified documents hidden away, or was too mentally unstable to be trusted with presidential secrets. This is the kind of action this ruling sanctions, entirely.
I wouldn't. Edu debt is insidious, but it's not worth allowing the president break whatever laws desired as long as the actions can be twisted to be considered "official".
Not an American but according to everything I’ve read, impeachment is not the equivalent of prosecution [1]

I fool around with it a while back with modern js framesets are actually good. They feel much more like real applications and are much easier to work with than the dynamic js rolercoaster.

Say you have a menu + banner at the top. It's its own document. looking at the source it all makes perfect sense. The css only affects this frame so you can just target the links image or list items directly without a class or id.

Then you click on the links (at the top) and they open different side menus that are also amazingly simple documents.

Clicking on those opens all kinds of things in the main area. PDF images, video, widgets, error pages, EVEN DIFFERENT DOMAINS!

Or [say] music, in a small frame on the side.

The big frameset issue was that the address bar didn't show a useful url and opening a link in a new tab was a problem. These are now easily fixed by pushstate and you can also rebuild the frameset in a new tab if the user tries to open a link in a new tab.

As there is nothing dynamic about the documents they are easily cached. Clicking around feels like an application!

You can also reuse the side menu frame to open diagrams and charts to accompany the text without scrolling up and down like a madman.

On mobile you simply don't load the frame set. The menu is the mobile application.

We also got <details> and <summary> adding even more dept to the menus entirely without js.

I still have to one day make a website with it.
Do you work for global companies? I'm in a major city that has a horrible/non-existant tech comnmunity so if I took a "local" job I'd drop my salary by at least $80k. I have worked for Denver companies and the vibe is completely different though, which is nice. Like, everyone will know Wednesday is a great skiing day so half the company leaves to go ski and nobody cares. Or we have hockey playoffs or whatever everyone expects you might be celebrating.

Can't do that at my globo corp which can barely handle setting meetings in my time zone.. but pays way more..
Maybe the issue is that you are too talented / experienced / demanding to look for a job in this thread? Most offers here come from small startups or teams that are unable to pay $500/h or 1M in TC.

FWIW I've been hired three times by companies I found in these threads and spent more than seven years with them. Though I'm not a 10x developer by any means and keep my expectations at an average level too.
The constitution gives me the power to kill people for good reasons (I am the commander in chief of the military, after all), and I assure you, I have good reasons. Which you can't ask about.

And don't tell me I need Congress to authorize my killing people. I haven't needed that since Vietnam or something.

Gen. LeMay was in charge of RAND? Didn't know that. He was the "bomb them back to the Stone Age" general.

The USAF was insanely well funded in the 1950's. The military got about 40% of the US government budget back then. The USAF bought most of the world's transistors. They ran several ICBM programs, a bomber program, SAGE, and accumulated huge fleets of aircraft.
Even the mediocre airplanes where produced in large quantity. The B-47, the first good jet bomber, was built in quantity 2,042. In comparison, only 744 B-52 bombers were ever built, and many of those are still in use.
I guess we can call it bold when you claim to have a better understanding of the decision than a dissenting justice.
Well he previously had said it was a very wrong decision, then praised it to get confirmed & then pretty quickly overturned it. You’d have to squint really hard to see the testimony as honest.

Why can't you call strcmp? I think a general practice of "only call functions that are explicitly blessed as async-signal-safe" is a good idea, which means not calling strcmp as it hasn't been blessed, but surely it doesn't touch any global (or per-thread) state so how can it corrupt program state?

Update: according to https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/signal-safety.7.html strcmp() actually is async-signal-safe as of POSIX.1-2008 TC2.

LSM-trees do need a WAL. The entire idea of LSM-trees is that writes are buffered in memory and written out all at once. But a particular write doesn't wait for the memtable to be flushed. For that reason you still need a WAL (there is committed state in memory).

An "independent supreme court" historically means "independent from the executive", as prior to the formation of the United States government under the constitution, judiciaries were part of the executive.

It does not mean that Congress can't have political qualifications for justices, and in fact George Washington had a failed nomination because his nominee was politically unpopular.

It's only "job security" because people know they can do the absolute bare minimum and never get fired. The market isn't demanding their skills such that they have negotiating power; their employer just have absolutely no incentive, oversight or accountability to do anything.
So it opens the door for Biden to do anything with Trumps campaign, business and family?
> and very often drastically simplify both the design and the codebase.

This is the major flaw in your argument. This just isn’t true.
The constitution clearly says that a declaration of war is needed, and only short periods of action that are necessary in the interim can be taken by the president absent that. Congress does not have the authority to simply pass a law invalidating that. They did it, but it is most certainly not constitutional.
The cited reason given is

> An investigation by the publisher found a number of articles, including this one, with a number of concerns, including but not limited to compromised editorial handling and peer review process, inappropriate or irrelevant references or not being in scope of the journal or guest-edited issue.

It's quite a leap to arrive at AI generated content.

It is all speculation, but it sounds more likely the guest editor did not properly handle peer review (not blind, befriended or non-expert reviewer) and/or misapplied submission selection criteria (maybe out of scope papers by friendly colleagues were not rejected).
But, they didn't invent any new tests here. Baseline, what they want to achieve is to stop the prosecution of Donald Trump in its tracks, and they'd like to use no more and no less overreach to achieve that. If it comes back to them, and they need to hammer harder, they will do that. But, the key goal is to protect Trump.

So, they can invent tests later, after they see how this decision affects the prosecution.
