According to the article, the decision to back him was due to the 2025 tax plan to tax unrealized gains, which I hadn't heard of, but I'm not surprised that he wouldn't be a fan of that, given that his entire business is built on investing in companies, and that these investments on the part of founders and investors are unrealized. It does seem like it would de-incentivize much of the startup and venture capital economy.

Depends when/how the signature is checked. I could imagine a signature being embedded in the file itself, or the file could be partially parsed before the signature is checked.

It's wild to me that it's so normal to install software like this on critical infrastructure, but questions about how they do code signing is a closely guarded/obfuscated secret.

The fire more deadly than enemy fire is friendly fire. For adversaries, they cannot do any harm unless they get in, even if they get in, the damage is limited to the access of the account they run on. But for AVs, they are invited in, which renders the 1st line of defense useless. Making it worse, they are running with SYSTEM privileges, which is higher than Admin privileges. And we just witnessed what could happen if AVs went rogue.
The United States is singular in its ability to assimilate immigrants. It is our one true superpower. The people who come to our country, like these Cubans fleeing their country, often come from societies where they lack freedoms Americans take for granted. Many Americans scarcely even acknowledge these freedoms but immigrants with their outside eye see them clearly. In doing so they refresh our founding ideals of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

As a fourth generation American and midwesterner, I welcome these Cuban immigrants.
Well if it's just the comments, I think a lot of people just don't read those. In fact, it's a fair bit of effort just to read the descriptions with the YouTube app on some devices (e.g. smart TVs), and it's really not worth the effort to read the comments when users can just move on to the next video.
I'm not so sure that view is very widespread amongst people familiar with how LLMs work. Certainly they become more capable with parameters and data, but there are fundamental things that can't be overcome with a basic model and I don't think anyone is seriously arguing otherwise.

For instance LLMs are pretty much stateless without their context window. If you treat the raw generated output as the first and final result then there is very little scope for any advanced consideration of anything.

If you give it a nice long context, give it the ability to edit that context or even access to a key-value function interface, then treat everything it says as internal monologue except for anything in <aloud></aloud> tags which is what the user gets to see. There are plenty of people who see AGI somewhere along that path, but once you take a step down that path, it's no-longer "Just an LLM" the LLM is a component in a greater system.
I don't think the difference is European in nature, I think that immigrants 100 years ago have a totally different experience than today.

I can only speak to my family's history and that I saw growing up, but my great-grandfather was an immigrant from a Slavic region (to be technical, Poland didn't exist yet, but he was a Catholic who spoke Polish).

To make a long story short, none of his kids ever spoke Polish. That wasn't familial pressure, but the physical and emotional abuse inflicted on children in schools to beat the slav out of them if they acted or sounded "fresh off the boat" - to the point where four generations later, all of us know that phrase because it's been said to us one way or another.

Contrast this with the most recent wave of Polish immigration to the same neighborhoods almost 80 years later. These are kids I grew up with. They had Polish clubs in school, they went to "Polish school," they spoke the language fluently and publicly, and to a certain degree that was celebrated by the rest of the community. The external pressure not to be Polish is essentially gone.

I don't have a grand point here, it's just something I think about a lot in these debates. I learned what the experience of my ancestors was, and saw something of what happened to my peers, and the only difference was 100 years. It seems to me the difference between what we think of as assimilation is really how likely a community is to join the melting pot depending on the internal or external pressures on that community.

Yes. I think the first one I tried was a very simple kind. I think in retrospect, it probably wasn't bad, it just wasn't the kind that you would typically eat by itself.

Later, I tried some really good ones that I could eat on their own but in any case, the value proposition of Kimchi became clear to me after I tried it with a rice/meat dish like Beef Bulgogi. The slight sweetness of Bulgogi works amazingly well with the bitterness of Kimchi. There's a flavor to trigger every tastebud.

Also, I've come to appreciate dishes where every bite is slightly different and the flavor evolves as you progress through the dish from start to finish. Kimchi is the perfect condiment in that respect because it is often used as a topping, hence it hits you at the beginning. It awakens your tastebuds and prepares you for a full gastronomic journey... In a single dish.

Also, I like that Kimchi doesn't just awaken your tastebuds... It goes one step further than the humble pickle. The complex flavor profile of Kimchi challenges you to seek out complexity in other parts of your dish.
As someone who grew up in Miami and took many field trips to mangrove forests as a student I was unaware they weren’t indigenous to all of Florida.

The article doesn’t touch on this but there are 3 species of Florida mangroves. Red mangroves grow directly from salt water up to 3 ft deep. They also have spindly roots that trap sediment that builds up into soil. And after a storm colonies of them can break away and form floating mangrove islands. So not only do they migrate by germinating in new locations, they physically lift up and move.
While a fad (in this context) depends upon a company maintaining a product, the act of maintaining a product is not a measure of how long the fad lasts. Take Facebook, the product. I'm fairly certain that it is long past its peak as a communications tool between family, friends, and colleagues. Facebook, the company, remains relevant for other reasons.

As for ChatGPT, I'm sure time will prove it is a fad. That doesn't mean that LLMs are a fad (though it is too early to tell).

It's honestly not too hard to go down a similar path. Defense contractors are literally always hiring and most job apps will give you a decent idea of what you are working with so you can more or less pick your poison before you even join. Of course long term you'll get moved around but you can generally pick your site (which decides what you work on).
I'm arguing that it should be possible for city planners to be able to, while designing their road networks, assume all cars will be capable of driving through their roads reasonably near the speed limit where possible (with exceptions alike hardware bugs patched in microcode, but those are to be hated and not the expectation). (I suppose there are specialty vehicles not meant for general travel, but I'd assume there are actual restrictions around such where reasonable (I know nothing cars), whereas, with hardware, if it exists, people will use it for whatever they want regardless of its intent)

> As I'm sure you know the computational complexity of vrgather is proportional to vl^2

But that sucks for anything wanting just a fixed 16-byte table (which is a pretty frequent thing in fixed-width SIMD), and low VL will not help with that as the table argument of vrgather is always VLMAX; you necessarily need low LMUL (so a more correct average complexity is LMUL*VL even for hardware dynamically scaling resource usage based on VL). But, if I wanted a 32-byte table, I'd have to jump to LMUL=2 for portable code, at which point VLEN=512 hardware would be forced to consider each result element potentially selecting from 128 bytes of data.

Granted, here at least it can be reasonably expected that general-purpose hardware would make LMUL=1 not horribly slow for typical use-cases (be it via spamming silicon at it, not having high VLEN, or specializing for small local variance of indices at runtime (which, while neat, is silicon that could've been spent on actually meaningful things instead of reconstructing what the developer already knew; and even then it probably would result in higher latency)).

"All floots are gronks. Some gronks are klorps. Are any floots klorps?"

------

To determine if any floots are klorps, let's analyze the given statements:

1. All floots are gronks. This means every floot falls into the category of gronks.
2. Some gronks are klorps. This means there is an overlap between the set of gronks and the set of klorps.

Since all floots are included in the set of gronks and some gronks are klorps, it is possible that some floots are klorps. However, we cannot conclusively say that any floots are klorps without additional information. It is only certain that if there is any overlap between floots and klorps, it is possible, but not guaranteed, that some floots are klorps.
I mean kernal level access does provide feature not accessible in userspace. Is it alsooverused when other solutions exist, you bet.

Most people don't need this stuff. Just keeping shit up to date, no not on the nightly build branch, but like installing windows update atleast a day or two after they come out. Or maby regular antivirus scans.

But let's be honest, your kernal drivers are useless if your employees fall for phishing or social engineering. See then its not malware, its an authorized user on the system....just copying data onto a USB drive or a rouge employee taking your customer list to your competition. That fancy pants kernal driver might be really good at stopping sophisticated threats and I'm sure the marketing majors at any company cram products full of buzz words. But remember, you can't fix incompetent or malicious employees unless your taking steps to prevent it.

What's more likely: some foreign government hacking khols? Or a script kiddie social engineers some poor worker pretending to be the support desk?

No; lots of virtual addresses are not mapped. Null is a subset of all unmapped addresses.
Strangely, not necessarily on every implementation on every processor.

It's not guaranteed that NULL is 0.

Still, I don't think you'd find a counterexample in the wild these days.
Conversions don't just loose metadata, you loose the ability to specify things. LaTeX shines because it can do everything by itself, markdown clearly can't and even with a TeX template you loose much of TeX's power.

You should start out by defining your desired output and needed input. I realize that 99% of document content can be fully realized in markdown, but the 1% can easily be a total deal breaker and make using markdown a complete nonstarter.

It is pretty common for null pointers to structures to have members dereferenced at small offsets, and people usually consider those null dereferences despite not literally being 0. (However, the assembly generated in this case does not match that access pattern, and in fact there was an explicit null check before the dereference.)
You're quite right that LLMs can seemingly do some abstract reasoning problems, but I would not say they aren't in the training data.

Sure, the exact form using the made up word gronk might not be in the training data, but the general form of that reasoning problem definitely exists, quite frequently in fact.
haha yea
In every real world implementation anyone cares about, it's zero. Also I believe it is defined to compare equal to zero in the standard, but don't quote me on that.
It was a demented comment.

> You may not be concerned about the crime, but many voters are.

So, if we're concerned about crime, let's create a set of laws where we can A) get the immigrants we need for demographic and workforce reasons, but B) where we can actually screen and be selective.

Plugging our ears and relying upon illegal migrants isn't going to result in good outcomes.

> It is not desirable to have separate ethnic groups who "share the same language, culture and faith" distinct from the mainstream.

The desirable place is somewhere in the middle. We benefit from distinct identities and varied culture, but we also need to reach enough of a common ground to pull as one nation and for two random people to be able to get along meaningfully.

A whole lot of joys that I experience in life come from the ways we're varied, but breaking into enclaves would prevent those joys and weaken us.

We tend to reach various kinds of overreactions. Respect for diversity is great, but not to the point to completely reject integration. The avoidance of appropriation-- avoiding adopting traditions of another culture without attribution or respect-- is important, but not to the extent that it prevents mixing or getting along.
My speculation is the bit of code/data that was broken, is added after the build and testing precisely to avoid the $5 wrench attack.

That is, the data is signed and they don't want to use the real signing key during testing / in the continuous build because then it is too exposed.

So it's added after as something that "could not break". But it of course did.
It may interest you that private confession of Islam was legal under Franco, but public practice of Islam, or the building of mosques, was banned in Spain until 1989. All of this goes back to the Reconquista and the Inquisition in the late 1400s, when Muslims and Jews were forced to convert, synagogues and mosques were repurposed as churches (and not coincidentally, ham became the national dish). Franco's version of fascism was merely a continuation of that.

That being said, you can't practice Christianity or Judaism openly in Saudi Arabia to this day. Looking at it from Mecca, the point of origin of the Caliphates, to their furthest extent into Europe in Spain (or the Balkans) you can still see the traces of extremist religious bans existing on both sides. Jews tend to get caught in the middle and slaughtered at each turn, as they need to seek accommodations with whichever larger religion is in power in order to survive, and then are seen as enemies by the other one.

All this is written on the streets and buildings of Granada, Spain, where ancient Jewish stars adorn old buildings where there are no Jews, where the oldest church was once a mosque, and the Alhambra, symbol of the Caliphate and its civilization, is the largest tourist attraction in Europe... where the markets sell everything Arabic yet the day to day interaction of Muslims and Christians is fraught, each understanding very well their own history in the place. And where it is very, very strange to be one of the only Jews... with both Christians and Muslims hating you and claiming to protect you.

Common Lisp and Emacs Hacker Needed for Code Pirate Queen
I need common lisp hackers and emacs hackers ASAP for startup I have a lot of features needed muupi.com pitch.muupi.com we need to be going in 12 hours time. If you do not know common lisp it is fine we do pair programming only you will learn quick and the code base is minimal

Code base is at git.muupi.com.

Basically, common lisp people are needed for developing the muupi rendering engine in hutchentoot we also have patentable device I need to migrate the operating system into common lisp away from FreeRTOS C++ we have the market and 20% growth rate

Emacs people are needed for CRM which is coded in org mode. We have several hundred prospects and qualifiers in the pipeline and I am onboarding sales team mainly from Puerto Rico cosplayers referral

I will give you whatever you need to be happy. Equity, salary, you can be the boss. I am so, so sick of people assuming I am a scam artist. Actually it makes me furious because I have sacrificed everything for this. People on IRC assume I am a scam artist even after showing the code base at git.muupi.com, showing the incorporation documents. They told me to post here instead to show I am 'legitimate', I feel disgusted by them. We have like 12 features and I barely have any time. WE NEED TO GET STARTED IN LIKE 18 HOURS THE SALES TEAM IS ALMOST DONE BEING FORMED. I do not care if my startup seems strange we have 20% weekly growth rate and I need the execution not the talk and certainly not having to be the emotional regulator for others fear and anxiety disorder.
> Unless we push for better transportation infrastructure today it won't be there thirty years from now.

It takes 30 years to completely reshape the housing market because there just aren't enough construction companies, and existing homes don't go on the market, to do it faster than that. It doesn't take 30 years to build a subway line, or if it does then your government is dysfunctional and you should focus on fixing that.

Meanwhile if you try to build the transit infrastructure before there is any demand for it, nobody uses it and you lose public support for even maintaining it because it turns into a money pit with high costs and low usage. And you get punished by the voters because the thing you put in place can't be used while the housing situation is still what it is, whereas the thing they have to use is now worse because the bus lane carrying empty buses nobody can practically use is consuming a travel lane that used to carry more cars.

> Nobody is suggesting to put a bus lane in a boring cul-de-sac, either.

The problem is that nobody is suggesting to put a bus in a boring cul-de-sac, because that would be highly inefficient and not have enough ridership to justify it. But then the people who live there can't take the bus because there isn't one, so they also can't use a bus lane when they get to the main road, and become angry with you when the disused bus lane makes the traffic worse.

> It's time that we design our urban neighborhoods around the daily needs of the people actually living there rather than the speed and convenience of visitors.
