So how do you get congress to write thousands of such laws yearly which will properly cover every potential outcome for decades?

Our current congress barely passed 27 laws last year.
Upgraded the server and should now be working... I think
XP Running on a 486 CPU
Debian packages are often old. Hence people found a way around.

> You just described how the script is less convenient to meet the preferences of the commenter you replied to.

Well… no. The person I reply to doesn’t say anything about preferences. They want to know how to update the software, the script is the best reference.
That seems a bit rude. You get the QA you paid for - zero.

And nevertheless, whenever Windows software doesn't work in Wine, you shouldn't think "Wow, how did you fuck that up?". They never promised it'd work in WSL.
> Security is a costly endeavor for Google not just on campuses but all the way up to the top ranks of the company. In 2023, CEO Sundar Pichai’s personal security cost the company $6.8 million, up from $5.9 million a year earlier, according to regulatory filings.

wow! i know legit/top-notch exec security isn't cheap, but that much?!? yikes
> Perhaps even several orders of magnitude more regulation.

And all of it will be written by corporate lobbyists. It's already that way now, of course, it's not like congressmen write any meaningful amount of legislation themselves, but now there will be an even larger army of unelected special interests making sure the regulations are very carefully tailored in their own best interests.
> on a single line

This makes a world of a difference when your editor is configured to wrap lines, or clip or w/e.

You probably happened to have VSCode configured to do something that mitigates the problems of having an extremely long single line, while Vim was not configured to do that.

In case you don't want to investigate the problem, but want to make a more "fair" comparison: use a language that you are comfortable with to format the file with linebreaks and indentation and then load it in different editors.
So that's clarifying, but I'm not sure how it's making an argument that "strict scrutiny" vs. "rational basis" isn't at the very least a good shorthand that captures the strongest available historical interpretation of the Court's varying powers of review.
I’d add Javascript and maybe Erlang to that list. (I say maybe for Erlang because I don’t have firsthand experience of it, but I get the impression that they don’t make breaking changes and won’t go away.)

I’m tempted to add Go to that list, but it feels premature.
I did some research and it seems that this particular slowness is due to single line file and if there is some syntax highlighting used with vim/neovim, it reads the line completely to do it correctly.

VSCode reads only the visible content and does not load everything for that line. It tokenizes the first 20k chars of the line at maximum, defined by the "editor.maxTokenizationLineLength" setting.
Nothing at all in that decision has anything to do with Chevron. It's in fact almost the exact opposite of that: the Supreme Court has ruled that Congress has the final say on CBP's behavior, judges must defer to Congress.

Even if the law is a bit hard to understand, it's beyond obvious that the current Supreme Court, the same court that ruled on both of these decisions, intends for federal law enforcement officers to be immune from the law, while agencies are not able to make any decision beyond what Congress says. So the CBP, or at least its officers, will be even more powerful, while the EPA and FDA and FAA and FCC will be almost unable to do anything.
The first thing I do on any VS Code fresh install is to switch the sidebar to the right. Pure heresy for many people, I know. But I want my eyes to naturally land on code, not on a file tree.
That is one possible interpretation, but not what they meant. That's why I asked because I wasn't sure :)
I still don’t see how fines would hurt shareholders, realistically.

We need some kind of punishment, which is why we have fines, but it’s good to recognize that, at least right now, they don’t really do the job they’re meant to do.

> In any case, if laws try to very narrowly focus liability, you're also asking for games of musical chairs

Yes, this is true. It’s a hard problem.
While I love Emacs it's not like this. Scratch buffer? C-c C-x and all is gone without any warning.

What about AUR or Fedora packages? ;D
My guess is that the systems are running image recognition models, and maybe OCR on images, and then just piping that data as tokens into an LLM. So you are only ever going to get results as good as existing images models with the results filtered through an LLM.

To me, this is only interesting if compared with results of image recognition models that can already answer these types of questions (if they even exist, I haven't looked).

Maybe the service is smart enough to look at the question, and then choose one or more models to process the image, but not sure as I can't find anything on their sites about how it works.
I assumed it was because she was speaker at the time at least when this popped off recently.
You do what you want, but you might consider listening to potential users and being a little less defensive.

Nobody is forcing you to use your savings for this, I can understand that you’d take any feedback personally but you should try not to.
Ask HN: Why does no one seem to care that AI gives wrong answers?
If you had a piece of code or software that sometimes produces totally wrong output we would consider that a bug.

Yet it seems like with AI all the investors/founders/PMs don’t really care and just ship a broken product anyway

I feel like I’m going crazy seeing all the AI stuff ship in products that gives straight up wrong outputs

It’s like a big collective delusion where we just ignore it or hand wave that it’ll get fixed eventually magically
> what do you have to lose by listing the jobs?

Because that makes Otherbranch no different than an ordinary recruiting firm!

IE, when you're starting a business, not only is it important to be selective about what you do, it's also important to be selective about what you don't do.
Depends what you mean by "indexes." DuckDB can read path parameters (ex s3://my-bucket/category=beverages/month=2022-01-01/*/*.parquet) where `category` and `month` can be filtered at the query level, skipping any non-matching files. I think that qualifies as an index. Obviously, you'd have to create these up-front, or risk moving lots of data between paths.
Correction: written in C plus some LISP, as God intended.
That layers on a lot of complexity onto the idea of “mimic Congress stock trades”.

Now I have to decide if their hot tip hit or not. Was it a long term play? Does the committee decision get published in five weeks, so they wanted to move now?

I am sure there is signal worth exploiting, but an index fund still seems the more appropriate strategy without significant development on how to follow their moves.
It seems like their main complaint is with NASA management - though it did sound like it bled over onto engineering as well. That feels like a very natural human response - to paint with a wider brush than is needed.

We've yet to see what regulation looks like without Chevron. How specific does a delegation have to be will likely depend a lot on the court hearing the case. Is Bitcoin a security or something completely new that the SEC has no jurisdiction over because it doesn't fit cleanly into any definition written by Congress because it wasn't imagined the last time we managed to pass anything in this country? Can the EPA or FDA regulate a new chemical or is the mandate from Congress too broad to allow them to decide that the new chemical is dangerous to human health?
I have a tab in Sublime Text for my todo list, which I created several years ago and never bothered to save. It's a great feature for indecisive procrastinators.
Slowing down isn't an option?
If Google really wants security, they should station armed guards at all campuses and all employees should be subjected to ID checks, and they should be required to pass a biometric scan. In addition to that, Google would like to see metal detectors and millimeter wave detectors installed in the campuses to prevent acts of terrorism and to safeguard our national security and corporate policies.
That works right up until the moment the other side gets enough power to write some very specific regulations that are not open to interpretation. I am not convinced that the Conservatives will like the long term result of this decision; unintended consequences, etc. As usual, partisans have blinders on and consistently assume that this time they will permanently gain power and these choices can never be used by their opponents.
Theoretically maybe, but I find it difficult the believe that a conservative court will do anything to liberalize border policing. More likely they will find/invent some new justification to allow it, possibly requiring even tougher policing.
This might seem funny until you read Ken Thompson's "trusting trust" paper and realize that bootstrapping Rust is a so overwhelming task that someone implemented a Rust compiler in C++ for this purpose: https://github.com/dtolnay/bootstrap

I mean, who knows what kind of malware is transparently being injected in all Rust programs out there.
What a bad article. AI beat you at a _game_ it's not the end of the world yet he acts like it is and it's his duty to warn people of the dangers of AI. Also:

> “People used to be in awe of creativity, originality and innovation,” he said. “But since A.I. came, a lot of that has disappeared.”

Bullshit. Just complete bullshit.
Nix's definition of "reproducible" is different from what the author says they want though. Nix gives you a similar system from a given config, when it works, where the author wants bitwise identical results (even when compiled at a much later point in time and on a different machine, which you can't accomplish just from caching (unless the caches are remotely hosted)).

The reason they don't like Nix should be obvious; it blatantly and vocally doesn't even try to do the thing the authors want. It'd be just as relevant to bring up Gentoo or something -- another fine project, like Nix, but not especially helpful for the stated problem, and so obviously so that it shouldn't be worth paying lip service to in the article.
> The whole point of Bitcoin was to not need banks.

I don't know man the fact that 0.0000000000000001 quectoseconds after the first bitcoin was mined all of the techbros set up exchanges so they could cosplay as Gordon Gekko while rubbing their nipples and moaning "arbitraaaaaaaaage" kinda calls this into doubt.

Anyone who thinks the typical consumer has the ability to operate/secure/assure a bitcoin wallet to a level equivalent to or better than a bank is delusional: there are crypto founding fathers who have been burned.
I disagree.

They are on front page of HN with "zed on Linux is here". We got to have some standards, don't you think?
> It was never allowed to be challenged post 1976.

And? How is Chevron deference (from 1984) is to blame?

The case was decided on Constitutional grounds, without any deference needed.

> Searching cellphones and seizures only started in the 2000s.

I'd have been surprised if DOJ started doing cellphone searches in 1953.

> Your counterpoint is outrageous.

You failed to make your point about the border searches. They are not connected to Chevron deference in any way.
Ha. KDE 6 has something like if you jiggle the cursor a certain way, it temporarily grows larger.

Better than Windows's function of "hide all my windows"...
I’m not sure I follow, but you have a good day.
In any case, I agree in that the acquisition is great news and the economy is in a depression. :) Huge part of it is because Finnish mortgages are mostly straight tied to Euribor unlike in other Euro countries and since post covid the interest rates went up, Finns got f*cked. Hopefully the Euribor interest rate will be going down and the mortgages will start to become smaller, at least when they are being paid off.
No clue man. Don’t use any of it.
What sorts of projects are you working on that use Itanium?
The two are pretty close, but between the two TextMate feels more like a golden era OS X desktop app thanks to several small differences and tiny Mac-isms, and I'd like Sublime to have that feel too.

The only other option is Pell for federal aid.

Luckily my state used to offer 100% tuition for B/3.0+ students. They still offer up to 100% with 2 scholarships but the main scholarship is not 100% anymore. It’s funded by the lottery.

Either way it doesn’t include room and board. A job is necessary to live but not for the scholarship.
> the judiciary's constitutional role in interpreting laws

Their constitutional role is quite a lot more limited than their de facto role.

Congress may ultimately decide to assert their dominance, which sounds good, except that Congress is already fully captured by special interests anyway.
I'm on the same camp, but in the end it turns out we were not putting it to the actual, real, hard-world test.

VSCode is very fast for me, when I open it in the morning and just starting my day.

But once I've opened the main project and 7 support library's projects, and I'm in a video-call on Chrome sharing my screen (which is something that eats CPU for breakfast), and I'm live-debugging a difficult to reproduce scenario while changing code on the fly, then the test conditions are really set up where differences between slow/heavy and fast/lightweight software can be noticed.

Things like slowness in syntax highlighting, or jankyness when opening different files. Not to mention what happened when I wanted to show the step-by-step debugging of the software to my colleagues.

In summary: our modern computer's sheer power are camouflaging poor software performance. The difference between using native and Electron apps, is a huge reduction in the upper limit of how many things you can do at the same time in your machine, or having a lower ceiling on how many heavy-load work tasks your system can be doing before it breaks.
When any regulation (SCOTUS also removed the statutes of limitations for "new" companies) able to be challenged by a lawsuit in a court, and there are hundreds of thousands of regulations in place, how could the courts keep up? They're somewhat understaffed as it is.
that would almost certainly be true if you could make statements about thread-cpu affinity
Lots of people care.

From a coding perspective, proper technical systems already have checks and balances (e.g. test cases) to catch bad code, and is something that's important to have regardless of generative AI usage.

From a creative/informational perspective, there are stories every day of hallucinations and the tech companies are correctly dunked on because of it. That's more product management error than AI error.

AI hallucination isn't a showstopper issue, it just has to be worked around.

Well, ok...but I'm not sure "software engineer at a company" is particularly trust-building...
when i moved to louisiana in 2013 gas was <$2. it's routinely been $1.29/gal. It's currently $3.50 a gallon. I can cherrypick data, too. In 2010 i was buying literal jet fuel for $8/gal in california, gas prices in the intervening 14 years have approached that at service stations in california. (i have pictures, but why bother uploading)

McDonald's subsidizes their food with drinks; regardless, though, inflation (in last decade only) on McChicken is 199%, mcdouble 169%, medium fries 138%; taco bell: 5-layer 132%; popeye's mashed potatoes 134%. See? onion-picking the big mac as the basis makes inflation "look better"

My car insurance is double what it was in 2014. My electric bill is easily 60% more expensive than it was in 2014, i said that already. That's more than double the 2.6% BLS numbers.

we can go around all day, but citing the government for numbers about inflation seems counter-productive.

anyone else notice how few fireworks were going off prior to july 4th? or after? Is that normal?
Multithreaded code can easily be non-deterministic, with things like OS preemption leaking into the sandbox. Guaranteed determinism is hard, it needs a deterministic emulator.
That would be popular here. This is a place where people who open carry, and there are lots, get thanked for it by strangers. We're 150 miles from the border but there's a lot of alarm about the increased flow of migrant groups walking through. Several of my neighbors now have enough ammo for multi year sieges. One guy has enough assault weapons for an expeditionary force.

Here a 40 minute response time from a sheriff's deputy would be excellent, so people take responsibility for their own defense more seriously. Another neighbor is a progressive liberal with another house in a big blue city. She recently bought a shotgun and took a training class for it.

The closest market doesn't have an ammo vending machine, but it doesn't need one because it's also a gun store and the home of the busiest hunting guide in the county.
If it helps, the videos are of kids being rescued mere seconds after showing drowning signs. Watching these gives you very quick training on what those signs are, in a way that images or instructional pamphlets can't.
It's hard to say, to be honest. In that same decade we had some of the most vicious backlash to POC/women yet. Maybe that's always been there and the awareness at least help clear 5% of the swamp. But in many ways the situation feels (in my perception) even worse. If anything, this is the time such orgs are needed the most.

But yes, it's definitely a large company thing. I could count the number of female programmers at my first job (~150 staff, maybe 80 programmers) on one hand. 2nd was a huge conglomerate and a better mix, even if older personell skewed male. 3rd was a ~150 startup (more like 100 programmers) and back to the "on one hand" situation. I completely agree with more of a shift to management and design for women compared to being "in the field" as programmers.
there seems to be an interest in pushing this into place, no mention of lax sales resulting in the vending machines being discontinued due to lack of sales.

It seems that way but history is littered with examples of unintended consequences. I strongly suspect this will not play out how the christian nationalists hope it will.

> Before 1953 people didn't even need CPB.

Oh, and you are clearly clueless about CBP. Before 2003, its duties were done by the DOJ (INS), and USBP.

USBP existed since 1924, INS since 1933.

What do you find particularly problematic about x86 assembly, from a pedagogical standpoint? I've never noticed any glaring issues with it, except for the weird suffixes and sigils if you use AT&T syntax (which I generally avoid).
It seems like these are even more heavily regulated than buying bullets in WalMart. Have to have your picture taken with your photo ID and everything. You can't just walk up with a stack of 20s and get all of the ammo you need.
> I don't know what's on zed/VSCode and what's on the TS language server.

Microsoft's latest embrace-extend-extinguish strategy is keeping just enough special sauce in (frequently closed-source) vscode extensions and out of the language servers. They do the same thing with Pyright/Pylance.
This isn't about executive overreach. Congress delegated the power, the executive branch oversees implementation the courts step in but only if it's clear the executive branch departments have misinterpreted the law.

This ruling is the thing that is the poison to our nation. It is born not only of extreme conservativism but also nihlism that doesn't care how many things are wrecked if there's less regulation for big businesses. It is extremely cynical ruling that has little relationship to the constitution. Congress has been broken at least since the 90s(thanks Gingrich) and the Chevron defense has helped keep the country working
It was entirely laid out by hand until the 286. Using standard cells in the 386 enabled the switch from microcode to a mostly hardwired core.

> While per-thread nurseries certainly work, I recently became aware that TCMalloc actually supports either per-thread mode or per-CPU mode: https://google.github.io/tcmalloc/overview.html#tcmalloc-cac...

Yeah, that's pretty new relative to when the old gperftools version of tcmalloc hit the scene. It works via the rseq operations on Linux; afaik no other OS is supported.

> I have not looked into this very deeply but from first principles it would appear to me that a per-CPU nursery would be strictly better than a per-thread nursery for typical applications.

Both are quite effective at removing the contention, so I think it mostly comes down to which needs fewer allocation caches to do it. In the case of a tie, per-CPU is probably better because if a thread migrates across cores you want to use memory likely to be hot in the CPU cache. If you have far more threads than cores, per-CPU should win. If you're single-threaded, per-thread should win. If you have a thread-per-core reactor, and either use the whole machine, or restrict it with cpuset so it always stays on the same cores, per-CPU should win, and more so if there are any ancillary threads for logging or whatever. All those profiles exist; what a "typical application" is I dunno.

There's also the concept of "virtual CPU IDs" (the language may have changed), which can minimize the downside of per-CPU for small cgroups on huge machines. It really should be better than per-thread, as running threads <= total threads. Not sure if that's even in mainline Linux now or not. https://lwn.net/Articles/885818/

I chuckled. I yearn for these days, but this isn't the experience I had (late millenial/early Gen Z). No one trains, you get maybe a week to adjust, expected to go full steam ahead, and leave or are laid off 2-3 years later.
