More tricks up in the ArcSwap's sleeve
I've been there and it is a terrible place to be. unable to be productive where you are and simultaneously too exhausted mentally to extract yourself from it.
I don't know that I'll be able to convince you but I'll give a couple of examples.

What is the type of the expression "return x" ? Rust says that's ! pronounced Never, an empty type. This expression never had a value, control flow diverges.

So this means we can just use simple type arithmetic to decide that a branch which returns contributed nothing to the type of the expression - it has no possible value. This wasn't a special case, it's just type arithmetic.

Ok, lets introduce another. Rust has a suite of conversion traits. From, Into, TryFrom and TryInto. They're chained, so if I implement From<Goose> for Doodad, everybody gets the three other implied conversions. But the Try conversions are potentially fallible, hence the word Try. So they have an error type. Generic Code handling the Error type of potentially failing conversion will thus be written, even if in some cases the conversion undertaken chained back to my From<Goose> code. But wait, that conversation can't fail! Sure enough the chained TryFrom and TryInto produced will have the error type Infallible, which is an Empty Type.

So the compiler can trim all the error handling code, it depends upon this value which we know can't exist, therefore it never executes.
Biden is showing signs of decline, but the name-swapping thing was never (and still isn't) that. It's mental klutzery, nothing more. As the other person pointed out, it is /very/ common when two names are mentally-adjacent, to reach for the wrong one. My parents would call me by my brothers' names all the time, and I just did that with my own kids this morning.

Anyone who thinks that Biden got confused and thought he was in a press conference with Vladimir Putin (!!) is just spouting nonsense.
It means the cloud service documentation was written in Rust.

I did hear about Teddy being nearly assassinated and then continuing his speech right then and there. Helped with his image as being this stubborn bull who never backs down and comes in swinging.

looking it up, we haven't had a near assassination since Reagan (how... well, poetic isn't the word I want to use). Probably a bit too recent for history books to record at my time. The other presidents who had near assassinations did eventually become assassinated.

There is a lower limit but not an upper limit. Who knows how old we can be in the future, there are coherent smart people over 80 today. But hey, it’s a democracy and if you want to change it you can try…!
Two party systems are the problem here, not the candidates
I don’t think these words mean what you think they mean.
All of this discussion. Most people don't understand, were not voting for Biden, were voting against Trump. The DNC could nominate a floating turd in a bowl, and we'd still vote Democrat, because it's not a vote for Trump.
It's considered to be up to the voters to pick the best candidate.
FlashAttention2 with Custom Masking
The current implementation of FlashAttention doesn't support custom masks, and only supports causal / no masks.

I'm all for it. But when the average senator is over 60 and rising, and the majority voter base themselves are generally 60+, it'll be a hard law to pass from both fronts.

And as others mentioned, this is a bipartisan stance, so it's not a matter of political leanings. Old people represent most of our voter-base and thus most of our represenatives.
The author took a tangent so fast and so long into some theater that they didn't ever explain what his problem with AI is. I would love to hear more about it and specifically how Google changed in the last 3 years. I'd like to know what the outlook was 3 years ago and how it drifted.
As a note; historically the typical real-world opt-in rates I have seen for EU apps that are trusted names, and self-evidently include content that would benefit from personalisation (names, key dates, location) is about 30%. less trusted falls to about 20%. Untrustworthy apps tend to go higher, as high as 60+% - I assume that is because of either deceptive patterns or the types of user they have.
Is it possible to use this with C/C++ code compiled to dll/so and called by Python?
> Anything else is depriving yourself of your say.

As much as plurality voting sucks, that's not true unless you assume there is only one election ever.

In reality the game-theory is iterative: What happens this time influences players next time. If X is concerned about losing to Y, they have an incentive to court voters that previously went for Z.

People arguing about the borders of where a label does and does not apply is usually a waste. Maybe if you’re designing a thing precise language is important, but for lay folks there’s no point in longwinded rants arguing the difference between “the parachute failed” and “the parachute failed to deploy”. Such things degrade the discussion and distract from whatever is actually going on.

Yes.

Whatever you think of Trump or Biden, the timing of the withdrawal was negotiated by the Trump administration:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States%E2%80%93Taliba...

Owing to the change of administration, the Biden administration was obviously responsible for implementing the terms of the agreement as negotiated by the Trump administration.

I think both parties get an approximately equal share of the credit or blame.
Possible your application isn't seeing real ips, maybe is seeing the IP of a load balancer or similar.
Leave. You can always hire them/work with them again later (chain hiring of teams is a very common thing even if you're not at a high level), but if you burn out while you're alongside them they might shift their opinion of you...
You are correct. What motivated the change was Aaron Burr campaigning against Jefferson in the 1800 Presidential election and both were part of the Democratic-Republican Party. For subsequent elections the Democratic-Republican Party continued to dominate elections during the era of Good Feelings right up until the 1828 Election when Andrew Jackson under the Democratic Party defeated John Quincy Adams under the National Republican Party.

Note on those parties: the Democratic-Republican Party isn’t related to either of those parties; Andrew Jackson was the first time the Democratic Party put any candidate into the office of the President and while that’s the same Party as the one that exists today, the National Republican Party is not related to today’s Republican Party. We just really like reusing two words for most of our party names.
> Other than promoting coal, what has Trump done for rural America’s economy?

Protectionist tariffs, particularly those imposed on Chinese imports were so popular that the Democratic party has silently endorsed and continued them through the Biden presidency.

Having no information is always preferable to having wrong information.
I agree with this to an extent and so far hav e voted in every election I have been eligible for, including when I lived overseas.

The problem I have today is that I fundamentally disagree with both options and think we will be worse off with either one.

I am totally fine accepting and supporting a candidate that I generally agree with, or even just agree with on a few key policies. I'm not okay with having to pick between one candidate who I view to be a sociopathic narcisist or another who I view has being well on his way to serious cognitive issues. Assuming Harris is the new candidate, I'm now left with the narcisist and a candidate who I view as unfit for duty, and an ineffective candidate who fell into this position thanks to a combination of DEI and a white house that refused to accept the limitations of the president.

If, on the other hand, voter participation goes down noticeably it can drive change. Both parties will know they lost support and, more importantly for them, have voters to win over. It also opens the door for creating a real chance for a third party that doesn't exist when we all continue to accept the unofficial duopoly that started way back when Hamilton and Jefferson were tearing the union in two.
Because old people vote.
Trump has really turned our system on its head. He's basically been campaigning since 2015 and never stopped. It's exhausting for everyone except, apparently, him.
Polling whom? Democrats? As we have seen many times this century, getting the popular vote does not mean you win the presidency.
No system is perfect, although sitting in the fourth row throughout one's career is a symptom of adaptive preferability.

Democrats encourage their fellow elected officials to step down when convicted of crimes. They notoriously don’t encourage a mob to attack the Capitol to interfere with counting of the electoral ballots. And they haven’t spent the last 4 years undermining confidence in the election system.

There are plenty of faults in the Democratic party, but “both sides” is a tired and inaccurate trope.

You'd have to get Romney on board with it. You'd be electing a Democrat administration with a Republican VP. It's not split, it's just a blue ticket with a red VP.

If you want to bolster the ticket, get someone that people already like. Hell, get Obama or Sanders to come back as the VP.
This is an infantile perspective on the relevant issues. Be better.

Quite a good survey, touches on many of the direct factors, but misses the underlying issues of social status and value of parenthood and children.

Children are not wanted in society. How many businesses have creches or play areas for their employees' children? How many restaurants actively encourage families with children? How many downtown streets have playgrounds? How much status does having two children rather than one get you? (Answer: sympathy, not status.)

It's no wonder that many people are choosing to do other things. Until the culture changes, the trend will continue.

> The plurality demographic within that party is liberal

Not the European kind of liberal. They are "liberal" in that they want to track the race of everyone in the country etc. So not very liberal at all, in Europe those things are called extreme.

Liberal means individualism, freedom of thought, meritocracy, Democrats are not very into those things, at least those things are not the strongest factions in the party today.
> NPCs you’ll never hear from again after separating from the org

Isn't this also on you to maintain those relationships if they're people you care about? And on the same note, if you care about those people you can find ways to keep in touch, like starting a regular group activity.
Hell, I am very staunchly
liberal/progressive, and even I was swayed by that image after the assassination attempt of Trump with his fist raised.
Sadly, this has never happened, anywhere, ever.

The distinguishing and necessary result of democracy, practically unique when compared to any other form of government, is that it provides a nonviolent means to remove aggressively incompetent people from office.
The decision to block bots is not always about protecting intellectual property. A practical consideration I haven't seen mentioned is that some of these AI bots are stupidly aggressive with their requests, even ignoring robots.txt.

Beyond that fact that human minds created them, I doubt that LLMs can tell us anything about the abilities of the human mind or what language in humans requires.

The most we can learn from LLMs about ourselves will be in how we react to them, or more broadly, what the datasets LLMs use show about who we are.

> Republicans are much better at voting together for their party and not fretting about whether individual candidates meet their principles,

I've seen a lot of "vote blue no matter who", to the point that it seems a lot of people don't care at all who the specific person is, as long as they aren't on the wrong team.
Not voting can also be a principled stance when I view both candidstes as a fundamentally bad option.

Where will we be if we all agree that the two parties have full control and we have no choice but to accept whatever they offer us? To me that sounds like a way to ensure that our democracy isn't sustainable.

If someone puts a gun in your hand and says you have no choice but to shoot your spouse or your child, would you actually accept that you must do one or the other? I'm well aware that's an extreme example and I'm not arguing that we are at that level politically today, but accepting one of the two parties no matter what the options are does allow for that scenario later.
Absolutely. This is a failure on multiple fronts. It is a sign of system rot that has been going on for decades now.

The one upside of the fall of revenue share from Windows is that it means that MS probably won't hold it as an untouchable sacred cow any more.
Politicians who refuse to retire is a huge, bipartisan problem in the US affecting both genders. Putting an age limit on the president or members of congress would probably have to be done via a constitutional amendment, because the Supreme Court has ruled in the past that states cannot add eligibility requirements that are not in the constitution. One reform that would help in Congress would be to modify the seniority system. Right now, members of Congress gain seniority as long as they keep being re-elected, so you end up with a situation where all the most powerful committees are headed by ancient legislators teetering at death's door. Since those committee chairs are very powerful, they get lots of campaign donations which help keep them in office until God calls them home. I think modulo arithmetic should be used to calculate seniority. A member of the House should have their seniority set to their time in office modulo 10 - after five terms they are reset to seniority zero. For senators, maybe modulo 18 could be used.

This is one of the best Hacker News comments I've read in a while.
In good faith, (as someone who's never made it into a FAANG, but who's severely burnt out before) I would speculate that one of the few ways an org could metaphorically do this, would be to threaten your ability to work for anyone else or in the country, which could take a variety of forms including holding your visa hostage or colluding with other companies to ensure you're unemployable.

Either way, being in this position would have massive hypothetical implications, especially if you have any dependents or real reason to fear for your life/future/health back in your home country.

In my past situations, I've used the comparison to being waterboarded—which would seem hyperbolic to anyone reading who's never experienced it, but feels pretty appropriate to me—since it wasn't quite as severe of an existential threat as having to leave the country, but it felt like I was metaphorically blindfolded and having buckets of water thrown in my face while I gasped for air, and the consequence of not just trying to keep breathing meant I'd likely spend the next year without an income and not be able to pay off long-standing debts that are ever-increasing with interest.
Me neither, but I know people who would! If I could get them to vote like me, all of this democracy stuff would be much easier :-)
Turns out authoritarians can ruin any kind of government.
In any case I am still interested to know a bit more about your story.
Voting is using a share of power borne of your citizenship to express a political preference. I too used to think of voting as more of an obligation, but it really isn’t. It is a choice. If you’re staring down two candidates you don’t want to vote for and nobody in the 3rd parties is worth registering even a protest vote through, it is entirely reasonable to choose not to vote at all.

All the rhetoric that exists to try and drive/guilt people into the ballot box exists for the purpose of trying to get more people to turn out for their preferred candidate.
100% getting deja vu back to 2016 with this comment
Being in any camp is just a bad way to approach things.

I go with AMD because they make the best desktop CPUs right now. When Intel gets their shit together (hopefully) and the pendulum swings back I'll go with them.

These are all corporations at the end of the day. They get better and worse overtime. They certainly never stay the same forever and deserve any kind of loyalty to their brand.
I generally agree with this. I personally feel like this is an extreme scenario that was so easy to avoid. I have voted in every election I was eligible to vote in, including when I lived overseas.

I don't expect to agree 100% with a candidate, heck I'm happy when I agree with two or three policies that I find important. But I just can't accept having to pick between two directions that I think are both fundamentally bad and dangerous.
You’re downvoted, but you’re correct.
Note that by the 25th Amendment both houses would have to confirm. The (bare) Democratic majority Senate would be a challenge. The GOP majority House an even stronger hurdle. Though confirmation is a simple majority, not a supermajority (2/3 vote):

Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.

There's also the fact that in ascending to the Presidency, Harris would no longer be President of the Senate, which would lose her tie-breaking vote, AFAIU.
