Sorry, I wasn't clear enough: I meant that void is not just a mix of the unit and bottom types, it is also in used for unspecified (unknown actually) types.
My assumption here is that only the EU version of Windows would crash as Crowdstrike bugged only those versions.

Who cares about marginal tax rates -- that is the rate you pay on your last one Euro of income. What really matters is effective (blended) rate.

In the US, there are normally two levels of income tax (Federal and State), and, rarely, there is also a local/city income tax (like New York City). Sorry, I am not familiar with the Irish income tax system. Since you mentioned that you are in the 24% bucket, your gross income is more than 100K USD. (Congrats: That is pretty high in Ireland where the median income is about 38K EUR.) If you add up all income taxes in the US (Federal + State + Payroll), I guess it is pretty close to your 35% effective rate in Ireland. So really, not so different.

It's a wild idea to take a completely digital asset, print it in Europe on to paper, and then put it on a ship and slowly transport it to Canada.

The human has opioid[1] and cannabinoid[2] receptors. This is a reason we cultivate plants which contain these substances which have an effect. Plant (nature/naturally grown) derived substances are generally better received by the body than the in laboratory synthesised equivalent.

In case of these designer drugs we changing and appending the original naturally occurring molecules. It’s similar to what the pharma industry does to be able to sell with exorbitant prices, changing and appending the working molecule to get fresh patents.

2. I had a neighbor who left her dog in the yard for 10 hours a day to bark constantly, every weekday, for six months. She had to pay a ~$250 fine by the end. That was the maximum allowed fine every few months.
It’s mostly fentanyl or some other kind of drug abuse, not mental illness. Seattle made the mistake of trying to treat drug abuse as a form of mental illness and got burned badly since you can’t really treat it without getting rid of the drug abuse aspect first. Decriminalizing hard drugs definitely hasn’t helped, and you can’t really force any of these people into drug treatment because they prefer cheap drug fixes instead.

So, (and this is five minutes playing here no deep dive), content-addressable is taken Seriously here.

Each expression is a hash of (its ancestors - not too sure) but the implication is sort of the git dag is built into the language. Looks like that has deepmimplications for releases, deployments, inspecting code chnages

There is an implication that my-labcorp is using scrapscript. Which is interesting as it seems to be a health based platform - tracking and dealing with test results, X-ray images etc etc

So I love committing to one of the most basic CS concepts (cryptographic hashes)

And I love the implications for code management. What I am not sure is why that helps with things like labcorp platform - I also love those implications (encrypt and store and just shuffle that data) because cannot any language use the concepts ?
Are you implying Let's Encrypt certificates should not be used for non-HTTP services?

To solve this, I would go further: any money seized by the government, whether asset forfeiture or a fine (but not fees or taxes) must not go into any government funds, and should instead be removed from the money supply, if there isn’t a “who it should be returned to”.

Well, maybe if money from fines was allowed to go directly to paying for something that directly addresses the specific type of harm that the type of crime the fine was for tends to cause, that would be ok. Like, if someone is fined for damaging the road, that money can go towards fixing roads.

But nothing else.

I'm baffled at the reporting.
That's not the only thing that people are complaining about. Even the code is not open source, despite being called open source.
When I lived in San Carlos it worked out because my office was right next to the station in SF. That was the only way it was going to work, however.

Beijing wasn’t much different before they went crazy on subways, but you could pad your endpoints with cheap taxi rides.
Is it normal for all rust projects to have sooo many dependencies? I tried scrolling through them to see what was used for the TUI itself, and was amazed by a neverending list of dependencies. Reminds me of the JS dependency hell that exists.. I somehow feel this is DRY gone in the wrong direction.
Curious, how do you define drugs in "drug free"?
Prices will continue to rise. There's a lot of demand still and lowering interest rates will only push prices upwards.
"Russian paratroopers seized Slatina airport to become the first peacekeeping force in the war zone" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO_bombing_of_Yugoslavia

Which was a surprise at the time, and left some convinced it was a UN rather than NATO operation.
While agree I find hilarious to say that you don't mind give data to government, because you are forced to and then complain of giving them to other companies.

You don't have to give your personal data to any company, while to government you are forced to do it. It's huge difference.
It's easier to stay awake on something that does not provide back support, that's for sure. Heavy lunch? No problem!

Have you been to Zürich? It is by far the best public transport system I’ve ever used, with Stockholm a distant second. It’s trams all the way down

0) trams are hardly unreliable

1) tram lines are routinely changed around

2) in Switzerland, there is no distinction between local and remote public transport. This has the advantage that you can use the regular trains for short hops. Zürich itself has 20+ railway stations.

Zürich has really opened my eyes for what a good tram network can do.
Or… a geyser? Kinda the one thing absolutely known for going up and down.
Well, why NOT attack random people when you're already part of the greatest pyramid scheme in history? Also, apparently you CAN mess with Texas, or rather, with Texans quite easily.

No, not for me, for Bhuddists (I think they regard all life as sacred), and (depending on the animal and if mere prohibition rather than the justification for that prohibition is important) Jews, Muslims, and Hindus.

Hence saying "which".
A PAC is not a person.
Not to be fear mongering but I knew someone who's boyfriend ordered drugs online like this frequently. They lived together and one morning my girlfriend got a call from a friend, saying the guy killed his girlfriend, walked up and down his apartment building for hours during the night while shouting, and finally killed himself at dawn. No history of any mental illness, completely out of the blue.

Surprise pills can definitely be a surprise I guess.

That isn't a vote for Bezo's to have power over others. That is merely a vote for the goods/services being sold.

I have a Passport, Global Entry and Pre Check. The digital ID and face scanning in general has actually been a pretty positive improvement. They already have the data anyways, might as well skip the showing my id nonsense.

That said I do think it should be default opt-out.
There is just no way farmers from the villages of China are going to be able to afford the million dollar apartments speculators are buying up anticipating this continued movement from rural to urban areas. Add to that a still inflexible hukou system where even if you buy the apartment, you still can’t put your kids in local schools, it makes me think that the cities are still in for a hard time.

Many buildings are never going to be actually lived in before being torn down. The construction techniques they use to soak up unskilled labor results in concrete buildings that will only last 20-30 years.
Relatively.

tbh I think it's a natural outcome of any system where it's easy and reliable to add a dependency......

..
and where there isn't any ongoing feedback about the costs associated with doing so (binary side, build time, etc) so you don't notice things slowly getting worse. It's just "rust builds are slow" not "why does this one thing I don't use take two minutes".

I'm not convinced the large number is actually a problem, but the lack of feedback definitely is.
When Zuck said spy can easily steal models, I wonder how much of it comes from experiences. I remember they struggled to train OPT not long ago.

On a more serious note, I don't really buy his arguments about safety. First, widespread AI does not reduce unintentional harm but increases it, because the rate of accident is compound. Second, the chance of success for threat actors will increase, because of the asymmetric advantage of gaining access to all open information and hiding their own information. But there is no reverse at this point, I enjoy it while it lasts, AGI will come sooner or later anyway.
During the Cuban Missile Crisis the US dropped depth charges in the vicinity of the Soviet submarine B-59. This was meant as a sign to surface, but it was interpreted by the sub as an attack suggesting war had already broken out. The Soviet rules of engagement allowed for the launch of nuclear weapons in this situation if all three of the sub's highest ranking officers agreed. Two of them were in agreement, but Vasily Arkhipov disagreed. His decision that day single-handedly stopped nuclear war.

So yes, I think we were closer to "full scale nuclear war" during the Cuban Missile Crisis than we are today. There isn't much point in continuing the conversation if you can't agree with that.
This post demonstrates a willful ignorance of the factors driving so-called "populist techno-pessimism" and I'm sure every time a member of the public is exposed to someone talking like this, their "techno-pessimism" is galvanized

The ire people have toward tech companies right now is, like most ire, perhaps in places overreaching. But it is mostly justified by the real actions of tech companies, and facebook has done more to deserve it than most. The thought process you just described sounds like an accurate prediction of the mindset and culture of a VP within Facebook, and I'd like you to reflect on it for a sec. Basically, you rightly point out that the org releasing what data they have would likely invite lawsuits, and then you proceeded to do some kind of insane offscreen mental gymnastics that allow this reality to mean nothing to you but that the unwashed masses irrationally hate the company for some unknowable reason

Like you're talking about a company that has spent the last decade buying competitors to maintain an insane amount of control over billions of users' access to their friends, feeding them an increasingly degraded and invasive channel of information that also from time to time runs nonconsensual social experiments on them, and following even people who didn't opt in around the internet through shady analytics plugins in order to sell dossiers of information on them to whoever will pay. What do you think it is? Are people just jealous of their success, or might they have some legit grievances that may cause them to distrust and maybe even loathe such an entity? It is hard for me to believe Facebook has a dataset large enough to train a current-gen LLM that wouldn't also feel, viscerally, to many, like a privacy violation. Whether any party that felt this way could actually win a lawsuit is questionable though, as the US doesn't really have signficant privacy laws, and this is partially due to extensive collaboration with, and lobbying by, Facebook and other tech companies who do mass-surveillance of this kind

I remember a movie called Das Leben der Anderen (2006) (Officially translated as "the lives of others") which got accolades for how it could make people who hadn't experienced it feel how unsettling the surveillance state of East Germany was, and now your average American is more comprehensively surveilled than the Stasi could have imagined, and this is in large part due to companies like facebook

Frankly, I'm not an AGI doomer, but if the capabilities of near-future AI systems are even in the vague ballpark of the (fairly unfounded) claims the American tech monopolies make about them, it would be an unprecedented disaster on a global scale if those companies got there first, so inasmuch as we view "AGI research" as something that's inevitably going to hit milestones in corporate labs with secretive datasets, I think we should absolutely kill it to whatever degree is possible, and that's as someone who truly, deeply believes that AI research has been beneficial to humanity and could continue to become moreso

That is a judgement on Musk and Trump. 'Woke' is a stereo type, it is used as a dog whistle rather than an accurate description of a large set of people. It is a way of 'othering' that is both very defined and yet a complete characterure.

It is one of those terms were if you were to actually find people that are truly 'woke' and respresent everything it stands for, it would be a very difficult task indeed. It is like taking the 'No true Scottsman' fallacy and tipping it on its head.
As someone with ADHD and a cardiovascular system that does not like stimulants (I don't have any health issues, it's just that low doses don't do much to my brain and even medium doses make my HR/BP excessively high)...

I don't really think about the quality when I post on LI, what I do think about is whether or not my comment is likely to get reactions. Often I'll "attach" myself to one of the "open source in the Danish public sector" threads that are relatively common in my feed. Obviously I don't post something silly, but it's a very low effort area for me. Partly because I've spent a decade in the Danish public sector partly because it's a very ideology driven community where it's easy to "farm" a few reactions without much risk of pissing someone off.

On the flip-side I don't really use HN for anything job related but here I only engage in things I think are interesting and that I think I can contribute to. So in a way HN is actually much more "unhealthy" for me than LI, as it's my SoMe drug of choice and I should probably spend less time here.

Jailbreak ALERT,Llama-3-405B: LIBERATED
I didn't mean that it should be made into a bottom type, even though it sort of looks like it on the surface.

I think the original idea was that void meant "unknown", not "empty" or "non-existent": It was all about whether values could be allocated or not (the wart mentioned above). A plain void variable cannot, but a void pointer can be allocated. For functions, they just reused the keyword to mean "no return value" or "no arguments".
Meta haven't made an open source model. They have released a binary with a proprietary but relatively liberal license. Binaries are not source and their license isn't free.
Oh this is super cool! I think maybe the new RoPE scaling method Llama 3.1 uses isn't yet added in? It's some weird one time scaling mechanism found by a grid search to enable 128K context. Essentially the model was trained on 15.6T tokens on 8K context, then iteratively extended to 128K context with 800B tokens.

Can open a PR if people want :) [Edit: Just opened a PR! Apologies my C is very rusty! https://github.com/trholding/llama2.c/pull/14]

Seattle’s SLU Tram has similar problems, but it is more of the route it takes not being very useful. The first hill tram gets a lot more riders since it’s route actually goes between populated areas.
What I wished browsers on Android would do is scroll pages with volume buttons and close pages on double tap or some combination similar to screenshot ring.
I honestly recommend just writing them by hand in a simple language (C or Python), without relying on third party dependencies (just load an uncompressed grayscale image to use as your input).

OpenCV implementations of this stuff will be complex with lots of architecture specific optimizations. They will also have tons of branches for different image formats — you can keep things very simple by just using single channel uncompressed grayscale. The Huang histogram and Perrault/Hebert constant time papers are very approachable. They have pseudocode and visualizations. They’re not that tricky. You can sit down in a day and implement them without much headache.

Why not require due process and 4th amendment rights to be respected?

If the government convicts you of the crime and proves the money is the proceeds of the crime you are convicted for, them maybe it makes sense for the government to seize the funds. Absent that, it should be taken for what it is: armed robery.
Not everyone lives in a litigious society like the US. Here in Europe if you try to sue an employee for work related stuff you'll be dismissed pretty quickly on the grounds that you need to be suing the company instead.

Unfortunately it is barely more open source than Windows. Llama 3 weights are binary code and while the license is pretty good it isn't open source.
It is not meaningless, nor misleading. It's a reality. They ARE affected more heavily.
All you're saying is that the reason they're affected more heavily is not really race. But that does not change the fact they are affected more at all.

Imagine if you tried to say it's misleading to say black people are targetted by the police, because in reality it's criminals who are targetted. Can you see the problem?
It seems part of the show by now. From time to time they have to remind the public of the fairy tale there might maybe someday perhaps could probably but not really be something about their inefficient wrongness-databases that might warrant a discussion about safety, so they publicly turn the wheel on the whole safety management bullshit.
Why not? The application logs who, when and what happened to disk. This is application specific audit events and such patches should be welcome upstream.

Log scraper takes care of long time storage, search and indexing. Because you want your audit logs stored in a central location eventually. This is not bound to the application and upstream shouldn’t be concerned with how one does this.
