If we're talking low level SIMD, like opcode level, I'm really struggling to see the use case for interpreted bytecode. The cost of type checking operands to dynamically dispatch down a SIMD path would almost certainly outweigh the savings of the SIMD path itself.

JIT is different because in function-level JIT, you can check types just once at the opening of the function, then you stay on the SIMD happy path for the rest of the function. And in AOT, you may able to elide the checks entirely.

There is certainly a space for higher level SIMD functionality. Numpy is one example.

If you are well enough off to buy a Fisker I think you should consider having a very high deductible for damage to your car. It isn't worth it to insure your car for dings and dents if you can reliably afford to pay the body shop / tire place yourself. If you price shop different deductible levels you will see that you pay the cost of the trip to the body shop every 3- 5 years.

Caveats: Leases may not let you do this. Insurance is priced wildly differently for all kinds of reasons. Some places you may get your car dented a lot more frequently.

While effective tax rates are lower than historic averages (measured since the time the federal income tax was reintroduced in 1913), they are not at "historic lows" as the lowest statutory and effective tax rates were the 1913 rates, when approximately 97% of the U.S. taxable population was not subject to income tax, and the lowest statutory/effective rate was 1% on those earning $3000/year or more ($95k in 2024 dollars).

And if we are talking about numbers that don’t matter, republicans won the Congressional popular vote four of the last seven times (by three million votes in 2022) and are on pace to in it again.

Notably, Palmdale, CA is the city where residents have the longest average commute of anywhere in the US, largely because people are commuting from there into the city of LA to work. Palmdale is probably one of the only places where you can afford to live / own a home / etc. if you work in LA and don't have a very high income. If you live in Palmdale and work in LA your one-way commute is probably somewhere between 1.5 - 2.5 hours. Just the Palmdale -> LA stretch of this project would massively improve those poor folks' lives, if the ticket prices are reasonable and the boarding process efficient enough for a daily commute. Unfortunately as a CA taxpayer I don't have high hopes for either of those things.

I agree with Rayiner about precious little, but he seems to want the best for everyone, not just for himself, and he's a very-smart lawyer and engineer, so Hanlon's [Heinlein's?] Razor is a good rule of thumb here. He's an example of the way in which good people can have incomplete and/or "assume a can opener" mental models of human nature, as I did for years (and doubtless still do in many respects), back when I was a staunchly-conservative Republican.
I’m open to listening to Climate Scientist that considers Astrophysics as a factor. The rest can keep their pseudoscience to themselves as far as I’m concerned.
That article is bad. It ignores the ruling specifically pointing out that 18 USC 201 among other laws does cover 'gratuities' as well as bribes, and it misleadingly claims that "[t]he Supreme Court on Wednesday struck down part of a federal anticorruption law" when referring to 18 USC 666 (Federal Program Bribery, AKA "The Beast") which is just not true. You can see it's not true in the holding:

> Held: Section 666 proscribes bribes to state and local officials but does
not make it a crime for those officials to accept gratuities for their past
acts.

Nowhere in there do they declare any part of 18 USC 666 unconstutional, which is what one usually takes "struck down" to mean.

The LA Times is at least correct in stating that the ruling clarifies bribes come before the act and gratuities come after, with different legal effect, but they seem to leave out any discussion of this bit inexplicably:

> For example, Congress has established comprehensive prohibitions on both bribes and gratuities to federal officials. If a federal official accepts a bribe for an official act, federal bribery law provides for a 15-year maximum prison sentence. See 18 U. S. C. §201(b). By contrast, if a federal official accepts a prohibited gratuity, federal gratuities law sets a 2-year maximum prison sentence. See §201(c).

Point being, no, gratuities aren't really legal either, they're just punished under different statutes. David G. Savage could've just used this line from the ruling as a much more accurate summary:

> Although a gratuity or reward offered and accepted by a state or local official after the official act may be unethical or illegal under other federal, state, or local laws, the gratuity does not violate §666.

And why did they do this? Because technically giving an apple to your teacher would be Federal Program Bribery otherwise:

> The Government’s interpretation seems all the more unbelievable because §666 applies to the gift-givers as well as the state and local officials accepting the gifts. Specifically, §666(a)(2) makes it a crime punishable by 10 years’ imprisonment for someone to “corruptly” offer or give “anything of value” to state and local officials “with intent to influence or reward.” So under the Government’s approach, families, students, constituents, and other members of the public would be forced to guess whether they could even offer (much less actually give) thank-you gift cards, steak dinners, or Fever tickets to their garbage collectors, professors, or school board members, for example.

But the "bribery is legal now" take you seemingly got from here is incorrect under any interpretation of the word "bribery." Using SCOTUS' version of the word, bribes are still punished by 18 USC 666, and gratuities are punished by 18 USC 201 (as well as other laws for both categories).

But don't take my word for it, you can read the ruling directly:

> A software program running exists.

What is "a software program" in your concept?

You can't put "a software program" into a wheelbarrow. You can print out code and put that in a wheelbarrow, or write it to a disc or USB key or whatever, and each of those things exist, but they are not the program. Patterns in real things exist. The pattern of the bits is real (even in the brain) but the "a software program" is imaginary: it "exists" only in your mind.

Bucky Fuller had a great demo: he would take a length of rope that was made of three smaller lengths of rope spliced together, jute, cotton, and silk. He would tie a loose granny knot in the jute end, hook his finger into the loop, and draw the knot along the length through the jute, into the cotton, then into the silk and then off the end. As with all great demos there is the inner and the outer meaning.

The outer meaning should be obvious: self-referential pattern (the knot) has or can have it's own stable existence in a proper medium (the rope). Both exist, the knot and the rope, but in very different ways.

Are you familiar with Meta-II? The same software program has been translated to many different languages, each translation exists (can be printed out) but none of them are the Meta-II software program. That is just a concept in a human mind.

> the details of the hardware ... are irrelevant.

But it still has to exist? The one detail that matters is that the hardware exists.

> Checkers is a game with rules that are independent of the materials that make up its playing peices.

Checkers doesn't exist. It's just an idea. If all the people who know how to play checkers were to somehow vanish, so would checkers, even if the boards and pieces and rule books remained.

(While I'm at it, I'd like to point out that Tuesdays don't exist either. Just as an aside.)

> Minds as systems run, exist, on physical things.

If those physical things are brains, yes, as far as we know. At least it sure seems that way.

> But they can be independent of any substrate in that any substrate that implements the rules they need to operate will support a mind.

How do you know?

That is an interesting speculation but one that has no evidence to support it.

Even if it's so, and we can build machines intricate enough to carry the knot from our meat into silicon, there is no reason to expect that our subjective awareness would go with it. Mind is not self. We can build models of our minds that act like us, just as Babbage had the Silver Lady, an automaton that danced like a ballerina, but they will not be alive anymore than she.

To me it sounds like you are saying that you believe that knot is mind and can be drawn into non-biological media, I'm saying that "you" are not mind, so even if this is possible and you can achieve it, you will only have succeeded in making a sculpture of yourself which can have no more life or being than stone.
So the name can be a pun, of course.

While people may like to call the RAND Corporation as an entity of "nuclear hawks," it seems a bit dismissive of the mission and nature of what the RAND Corporation was chartered to do.

They were tasked, and encouraged, to apply their creativity, brain power, quantitative skills, to study decision spaces, future possibilities and analyze these to arrive at recommendations and methods for best achieving desired outcomes, as well as identifying and understanding blind spots in thinking. In the above context of nuclear war, I don't believe nuclear war was an organizationally desired outcome, however they had to contemplate it and its implications. This is the organization that concluded based on application of quantitative methods (e.g. game theory) that for example, pursuing a credible strategy of mutually assured destruction was objectively the best way to avoid a nuclear war.

I recommend looking for references to the phrase "Thinking the Unthinkable" to get additional insight to some of RAND's studies.
magic_enum is killing my build time with endless template instantiations. Is this going to be faster?
Not only that, but this same court removed the constitutional right to an abortion because it wasn't enumerated in the Constitution. Now, they completely invent criminal immunity out of thin air (which btw was never necessary in the last 250 years until we had a criminal president), when the intent of the drafters to never elevate any person above the law was crystal clear.

The Roberts court is just arbitrarily choosing whatever justification they happen to like for any given case to push an extremist agenda.
At the point where the thread was "detached", it is as if someone started a new top-level thread.

I used it once. Because that’s why ancient democracies used selection by lot. My criticism isn’t of this ruling per se, but of the institution, which has swung from a stabilising branch of government to a constant source of chaos.
Whatever this is, I'm not interested. I disagree with Rayiner on just about everything, and this kind of rhetoric is strychnine for the credibility of my side of the debate, such as it is.

Nominees for the supreme court usually have already been judges and written legal opinions. A senator could say "I read the facts of [some past ruling], and I disagree with the ruling, and therefore doubt their competency to be on the supreme court."

Additionally, supreme court nominees are not selected at random--it's no accident that conservative presidents nominate conservative justices and liberal presidents nominate liberal justices. Nominees are selected by the president because the president thinks they'll like the way the nominee would rule in the future.

Qualified judges have a broad spectrum of opinions. When faced with the question, "should _this_ person have a lifetime supreme court appointment," I don't see how a senator could avoid considering how a nominee might rule in the future.
I think it would easily succeed if there was actually a real actual reason to use it and not just a political stunt in the lower house.
The phrase “probing such conduct” refers back to the “conduct for which a president must be immune from prosecution.” So what it’s saying is that you can’t use tapes relating to protected official acts.

that's quite literally an oxymoronic statement.
If I'm not wrong, it seems dead simple when you put it like this:

- Imagine the jet moves the wing forwards some small distance in some small amount of time.

- Due to the shape of the wing, there is now a temporary vacuum above the wing as air particles have yet to rush in and occupy the space where the wing used to be.

- There is now an unbalanced pressure around the wing sufficient to overcome gravity and give lift.

No Bernoulli, no math, just visualizing a bunch of particles getting pushed around.

If you think about air this way it also becomes obvious why a helium balloon moves in the direction of acceleration inside a car. Car moves forward, air in the rear of the cabin is now squished while the air in front is stretched out as it hasn't caught up to the car yet, pressure gradient sends the balloon forwards.
