One side effect of not having sidewalks and not being connected to public transit is it segregates the neighborhood from the poor and especially the homeless. People were fleeing cities and were putting up walls around their neighborhoods via zoning and car centric design.

Sure then throw Ansible over the top for configuration/change management. Packer gives you a solid base for repeatable deployments. Their model was to ensure that data stays within the VM which a deployed AMI made from Packer would suit the bill quite nicely. If they need to do per client configuration then ansible or even AWS SSM could fit the bill there once EC2 instance is deployed.

For data sustainment if they need to upgrade / replace VMs, have a secondary EBS (volume) mounted which solely stores persistent data for the account.

Yes. Bug bounties are not a panacea, and were never intended to be. They have specific goals, and those goals surprise technologists working outside of the security teams that run the programs. They make a lot more sense when you remind yourself that they (a) direct engineering efforts and (b) create profound incentives; those facts together sharply constrain the problems they can be applied to.
These people did 40 years of fieldwork to prove the point. ‘Beak of the finch’ by Jonathan Wiener is a very readable story about their work.

The end game is to re-conquer the politically sensitive Crimea. When they've done that, they tell Putin that they're ready to let him keep some of eastern Ukraine if he withdraws his forces from everywhere else.

"Some" could be "none", depending on their evaluation of the situation at the time. In the maximal case, they take back all of their conquered territory.

Whether Putin will accept that is anybody's guess. It is entirely possible he will reject it and continue to fight to the last Russian male and/or his stroke.

You put it in library code so the callers don't have to see it.

I am always amused when a new C++ standard issues how many people complain "why did they add this obscure stuff and not my favourite feature?". Many of those changes are for library writers and don't have a lot of applicability for use in "normal" code. But everybody gets the benefit when the standard library speeds up or handles a non-obvious corner case.
> if you just want to give Swiss people some tax revenue back

But they don't just want to do that. I'm not an economist, but I don't think RoI ("return on investment") means the same thing for a government that it does for a corporation. Any money "thrown away" comes back in some way, which creates many opportunities to kill two birds with one stone.
I would agree with you if I didn't run my stuff the way I do (and I'd use zfs or maybe ext4). Pretty much all my important stuff is on a raidz6 file server with a secondary backup raidz6 file server locally pulling backups each night and backups being sent offsite streaming throughout the day. My dotfiles are synced to my local private git repo via yadm (although if I didn't have this system running already I would probably take the time to figure out nix home manager instead of yadm right now). I have a bunch of bash scripts I wrote to automate the most annoying parts of reinstalling as well, so what I am really risking by running bcachefs is about a half hour to reinstall cachyos on whatever system eats it and possibly some minor configuration changes I may not have synced to git via yadm yet.

I'm not sure I'm educated (or rested) enough to answer that in a coherent manner, certainly not in a comment thread typing on mobile. So I won't waste your time babbling.

I don't disagree they produce astonishing responses but the nuance of why it's producing that output matters to me.

For example, with regard to social mores, I think a good way to summarize my hang up is that my understanding is LLMs just pattern match their way to approximations.

That to me is different from actually possessing an understanding, even though the outcome may be the same.

> Maybe housing policy is the great filter.

Declining birth rates are often blamed on many things, but the negative birth rates in the western world are probably most caused by housing policy. Housing affects everything. Have to have two incomes to buy a home for kids. Probably 50+ hour week jobs, so no time to care for kids. But child care is too expensive… because rent is so high it’s driven labor cost up. Have to own two cars because the sort of family friendly density to live car free is illegal in most places. That’s another 10-30% of a families income. People who didn’t buy an home when interest rates were low and homes cheap own homes are essentially locked out; both of home ownership and having families.

We know the richest Americans and (Swedes according to a recent study) are more fertile than the middle class. So maybe it’s not a filter for the earth, but it probably will ultimately destroy the western world as we know it. Ultimately, the childless middle of the fertility U will disappear with immigration being used to replace the gaps in the workforce. It’s not a conspiracy. It’s just the outcome of generations of people voting (at the municipal level) in their best interests without care for future generations.
> We can be glad we have cars, trucks and roads that are a bit more resistant to attacks.

Cars with so much electronics on board are just vulnerable as the worst cellphone out there; always connected may seem a cool buzzword, but in reality means always ready to be exploited.
The reason they're not commonly exploited is that usually who is motivated to do that would rather look for bigger targets that give back more media coverage or potential ransom money.
> if pedagogical methods are getting better over time, th

This is a faulty premise from the get-go. Human learning, and teaching, go back hundreds of thousands of years. It goes back farther than any technological invention, before the knot, before fire (hell, we wouldn't have those but for teaching/learning). We've been doing this a long fucking time. If we weren't good at it, we wouldn't be the technological (or artistic, or philosophic, etc) species that we are.

We've gotten pretty close to optimal, and we did that centuries or even millennia ago. We're definitely in an era of diminishing returns in pedagogical research. And if we could be honest, this certainly isn't a hard science. Hell, it's usually in the college of education, and not included in the college of social sciences. If we could believe that it was less of a pseudoscience than, I dunno, astrology, then I might even think that there'd be this principle of "we teach to maximize everyone's potential" and not "if done correctly, identical outcomes are possible for every individual". So, no, I have no evidence to support the idea that people who would've flunked 50 years before could magically be made to pass today with the same material.

> On the other hand, grade inflation makes it harder to filter above-average students from below-average students.

This is in part because the grade no longer signifies a measure of knowledge of the materials, and is rather a rubberstamp. But it is also the case that in coddling those who did not deserve to pass, there was no longer enough resources to properly teach those who might've genuinely earned a passing grade in the previous era. This is hidden anyway due to the grade inflation.

>You could combat this by grading on a curve or by making exams harder, but this risks driving students into deleterious zero-sum behaviors - see Asian "cram schools" or American "tiger parenting".

This is plainly false. If people come to understand that you can't cheat or force the grade through Asian tiger parenting, then everyone understands it's just pointless to try. And we return to uninflated grades. But that's a little too unprogressive, I think, for us to ever return to that outlook.

Grade inflation is the proof everyone uses to justify to themselves efforts towards cheating grades. "See, dumb people can get good ones too if they just figure out the correct hustle!" Some of these are more admirable than others ("I'll just study 39 hours per day!"), but it amounts to the same. People who will never understand the material believing that this is not a fundamental barrier to success in that field cause all sorts of problems.

> On the gripping hand, maybe grades are the wrong thing to focus on.

If we do away with grading, how is that any different than giving everyone an A/4.0/whatever? Except, maybe it's a little less work for the instructor who no longer has to scribble down a letter next to each name?
> Sebastian argues that we shouldn’t try to replace all code with visual programming but instead only add graphics where it makes sense

I just interviewed Daniel Kallin, the maker of the language/tool Nomnoml (https://www.nomnoml.com/), for making beautiful diagrams, which is one such place where it makes sense [0].

He had an expression I liked, wanting to make a tool/lang that felt like "drawing with ascii".

I think this is the way for visual programming. You must do nice DSLs side by side with the visual representation. The text must be source of truth. It _has_ to be that way! That's how computers work!

> LLMs, though, present a special First Amendment case because they are models of expressive activity, or “pure speech.”

> This is a contestable point, to be sure. But given how LLMs are made and what they are made of, LLMs have a clear claim to treatment as a form of pure speech themselves and the protections of strict scrutiny under the First Amendment. That does not mean that AI systems are beyond regulation. Quite the contrary. But it does mean that U.S. lawmakers should approach the regulation of AI systems with greater attention to what precisely is being regulated in order to avoid seeing their initiatives dashed against the United States’s stringent free speech protections.

I took 1 mg of molybdenum daily for about 3 weeks and then tested out drinking coffee. By this point I had tried many other interventions that did not help. I wasn't expecting the molybdenum to help but figured it was worth a shot since it was about $6 for a bottle. After the fourth day of drinking coffee, it was clear that something had changed; the coffee was no longer the issue that it had been. I'm now able to enjoy a regular coffee in the morning without any negative issues. I didn't change my diet or supplements during this time or anything else I can think of that could possibly have contributed to this change.

When I was sensitive to coffee I felt just wrecked and exhausted by the coffee. I couldn't sleep well at night. Several days in a row of drinking one coffee in the morning and I'd get to the point where I would wake up feeling jittery the next day. Now, this is completely resolved.

My blood tests for commonly tested health markers such GPT and GGT have always been fine and tend to be tested about once a year. I had the coffee sensitivity for quite a few years until recently when I finally resolved it.

I do have some minor gut issues, so I'm guessing this is to blame for any nutritional deficiencies (I eat a healthy diet of "real" food).

There is only a narrow range between where an able person doesn't really need the help and where the pallet jack/fork lift is a better solution. This is especially true when you consider what happens if you drop the item in question. There are certainly cases where a solution like this is perfect, but I think they'll be rather niche.

This is a reasonable heuristic. I studied in a program that (for both philosophical and practical reasons) questioned whether the Bayesian formalism should be applied as widely as it is. (Which for many people is, basically everywhere.)

There are some cases, that do arise in practice, where you can’t impose a prior, and/or where the “Dutch book” arguments to justify Bayesian decisions don’t apply.

I Started Blogging 20 Years Ago Today
These are fun projects. About six years ago I launched Pixmap on android, which is a little collaborative pixel editing app, supporting larger images (like 1024x1024 grids etc). I had a queue that would apply each event to png images, and then clients would load the initial PNG on connect, and then each pixel draw event is just one small object sent to the client. This way I could take advantage of image compression on initial load, and then the change sets are very small. Also, since each event is stored in a log, you can "rewind" the images [0].

For me, someone from outside the Anglosphere, the British Empire is a distant and unfamiliar concept. I am always bothered by characters in historical fiction speaking with a British accent just to make an impression of ancientness. The antiquity was not ancient back then -- it was modern for its contemporaries.

Rome was as much the dominant economic, cultural and military power of the ancient world as the US is of the present. I would actually prefer American accents being used in movies set in the Roman Empire.
