They pretty much decide about anything they want to decide, it's that simple. It's not like "oh, we only judge constitutional matters", as it happens in serious countries. I really mean ANYTHING.

There is run of the mill lawsuits involving defamation that the court decided to judge out of the bat. The accuser is a mainstream journalist (mainstream media as a whole have been – essentially – acting as public relations of the court – similar to how they acted as public relations for Biden during the 2020 elections btw), the accused part being another brazilian journalist living abroad, called Allan dos Santos (Moraes personally hates the guy and failed to extradite him from the US countless times - USA authorities essentially answering "it's only words, this is covered by our first amendment").

And instead of this lawsuit following the normal procedure as any other defamation lawsuit in Brazil. Moraes decided to elevate this case to automatically judge it in the highest instance of the country. His excuse? “Oh, Dos Santos is investigated in other procedures here, so I think they are related". And this has been essentially their trick to investigate/trial anything they want.

They say it's related. Hell, the Brazilian Supreme Court decide to investigate Ellon Musk himself.

At some point it becomes a ship of Theseus kind of exercise ...
AGPLv3 is a completely valid choice for an open source license, and (not that it was necessarily questioned, but since critique of pushing enterprise sales comes up,) having a split open source/enterprise license structure is not particularly egregious and definitely not new. Some people definitely don't like it, but even Richard Stallman is generally approving of this model[1]. It's hard to find someone more ideologically-oriented towards the success and proliferation of free and open source software, though that obviously doesn't mean everyone agrees.

I'm not saying, FWIW, that I think AGPL is "good", but it is at least a perfectly valid open source license. I'm well aware of the criticisms of it in general. But if you're going to relicense an open source project to "defend" it against abuse, AGPL is probably the most difficult to find any objection to. It literally exists for that reason.

I don't necessarily think that Grafana is the greatest company ever or anything, but I think these gripes are relatively minor in the grand scheme of things. (Well, the security issue might be a bit more serious, but without context I can't judge that one.)

It helps if you are forgetful in a certain way. If you can remember to buy new toothpaste when you get the last tube out of the drawer, you don;t need a sentinel. But if you forget that the tube you just brought out is your last 5 minutes after you took it out, the sentinel reminds you.

Similarly with the emoji list. If can reliably remember which emoji is last, then each is equally as good as a sentinel. But if you can't, having one which is "special" will help remind you.

> Not really. Taxi medallions are required to let you pick up someone else that hails you on the street. It is not required for a drive scheduled elsewhere like over the phone or the Internet. They weren't breaking laws, at least in the US.

Maybe not in the US, but Uber was (at one point) banned in multiple locations in (at least) Europe because they flagrantly ignoring existing laws.

In some locations, like Netherlands, Uber was fined and told it was illegal, but continued service anyway up until their offices were raided, then they finally shut down.

> look up Red ocean vs blue ocean.

For those not wishing to visit another site to learn new vocabulary first:

blue-ocean market = entering into a new markt, red = entering into an existing market

Interestingly, I never heard this term before but now twice in one week someone referred to it (linking an article from 2012 iirc). At least the other one provided a link, albeit to a 5600-word documentary that I'm sure everyone was thrilled to dig into when there are perfectly normal words for it as well (sounds less fancy if everyone is already familiar, though)
I have a longer reply in a sibling post (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41276479), but basically, yeah... in the US we have very few consumer protections, so credit cards offer some of that in lieu of a functional government.

They also have much better protections against fraud (if someone steals your credit card and buys something with it, you're not liable... the bank will pay you back).

If you get scammed with a cash-equivalent (like our Zelle or Cash App or Venmo), too bad, there's no way to get your money back. I know people who've lost thousands of dollars that way, and nobody will protect you from that.

Credit cards here obviously charge high interests (and charge the merchants too) but they offer a lot of protections you otherwise wouldn't get.

The problem is that many of what you describe as "terrible" jobs are just a low-overhead way for creative folks to pay their bills. You don't make a living writing timeless poems or painting masterpieces, at least not usually. You make a living doing copyediting or painting commissioned artwork - and then work on achieving greatness in your free time.

AI doesn't have to be good to destroy this income. This is making it harder for creativity to thrive. Relatively few budding artists can count on private patronage or government sponsorship, and both of these come with plenty of strings attached. And pie-in-the-sky ideas like universal income are not going to wish the problem away.
"Found no evidence" and "didn't even try to measure" isn't really the same, is it?
That’s the problem right now. Throughout the history, jobs get diminished and new ones came on.

However, the transition took many many years to happen. Take an example a conductor in a bus to collect the fare, took many years to replace and via stages.

With AI, there are so many jobs (I agree shouldn’t exist) that had been impacted really quick before even preparing to learn a new skill.

Another problem is you don’t expect everyone to learn at the same pace.

> Instead of named arguments, use the functional optional pattern.

Options pattern is an alternative, I use it frequently, but still miss named arguments and default arguments if I'm going back and forth with Python.

- The options pattern is much more verbose to implement.

- The defaults aren't as easily clear, they need to be documented and kept consistent.

- You can't, or it's not as easy to, make some arguments required.

- And, as a caller, if the API I'm using doesn't support them, I sometimes have to rely on comments to clarify what each arg is. For example, if a function takes a bools like `func MyFunc(dryrun, inverse bool, items ...string) error { ... }`
"This is a small example of a big problem with usability and cybersecurity. This is what happens when apps are developed by engineers who don’t have a strong knowledge of customers"

This really rings true. Just think of all the nonsense you have to deal with in the name of "security." Mandatory password change intervals. Insane rules for constructing passwords. Completely undocumented password requirements that you just have to figure out by trial and error. Complicated error messages full of security jargon. "Secret Questions" that you can't remember the answers to. And on the other side of the coin, the security of these systems themselves is like a sieve. So many data breaches, information disclosures, they are in the news almost daily. I often wonder how they get away with it all.
I just thought that people moved to Electron for cross-platform and to native otherwise. Java was not particularly fast nor native-looking on desktop. I’ve spent quite a few years in Swing, and am not sure it’s much better than Electron. But with GraalVM, maybe…

This is a book about mathematical optimization, not code optimization. It has its place in the world (kinda like an engineering handbook), but the field is constantly evolving and actively researched (especially in frontiers like global optimization and nonlinear nonconvex optimization; linear problems are more mature but still moving at a clip, as witnessed by the vast improvement in solvers over the years).

The danger of indexing too much on a canon of knowledge in a fast evolving field is that you're narrowing your view to a set of techniques that don't work so well on modern problems.

Deep learning for instance is a nonconvex optimization problem where we have a lot of practical knowledge on how to make it work well, but the theoretical knowledge of why it works so well is still being developed. This is a case where practice precedes theory.

Instead of an encyclopedia, I recommend subscribing to a (free) mailing list of pre-prints, Optimization Online.

> Socialism requires a very large government vacuuming up resources and distributing them to society as the government determines is most fair and equal.

I've not read any socialist literature in a long time but a quick glance at wikipedia confirms what I remember; Government isn't a requirement for socialism. That doesn't mean that there isn't "state socialism", there is, but there is also stateless e.g. anarchism.

> I can find evidence that it has an IQ of around 124

Despite me being someone who is generally impressed by the best LLMs, I think this says more about IQ tests than it does any AI.

Which isn't to shame those tests — we made those tests for humans, we were the only intelligence we knew of that used complex abstract language and tools until about InstructGPT — but it does mean we should reconsider what we mean by "intelligence".

My gut feeling is that a better measure is how fast we learn stuff. Computers have a speed advantage because transistors outpace synapses by the degree to which a pack of wolves outpaces continental drift (yes I did do the calculation), so what I mean here is how many examples rather than how many seconds.

But as I say, gut feeling — this isn't a detailed proposal for a new measure, it likely needs a lot of work to even turn this into something that can be a good measure.
One look at the photos of Bolsonaro eating the Florida KFC immediately after the elections would tell you immediately that he never had the "it" to be a dictator, especially one that would need to actually do the regime change(and not simply inherit like Maduro).
High IQ. A component of IQ is memory--working and long-term memory. There is a reason why doctors are smarter than average--you got to be smart to memorize all that stuff. I am skeptical that hacks make much of a difference. There is also a difference between recall and understanding. This is why speed reading courses are dubious because you're not really understanding things, but just recalling items in the text.

I don't remember Java being any more lightweight than Electron. Both are super heavy, easily recognizable (because of there non-native nature and general subpar performance), have giant binaries/payloads. Especially Swing. Noone has ever complimented IntelliJ on its responsiveness... (IntelliJ is great nonetheless)
Personally, I have been coming more around to Chinese manufactured goods. It used to be low-end crap 30 years ago, but they are market leaders in many sectors today and probably even more tomorrow.

This boggles my brain on so many levels - are you telling me Microsoft Authenticator only stores the entry based on label? It doesn't generate an internal key or anything? And then they claim that the issue is websites not putting the issuer in the label, but in the issuer field, where it belongs?

Is no-one at Microsoft actually using their own Authenticator? Unless I'm missing something, this would make it nearly unusable for almost all applications - as soon as you've used your email for one site you wouldn't be able to add it for any others?

Prometheus itself is pretty simple, fairly robust, but doesn’t necessarily scale for long-term storage as well. Things like VictoriaMetrics, Mimir, and Thanos tend to be a bit more scalable for longer term storage of metrics.

For a few hundred gigs of metrics, I’ve been fine with Prometheus and some ZFS-send backups.
The cases where that's common are lightly-monitored scenarios though: railway or metro.

As the saying goes, the wall is only as good as how frequently the guards patrol it.
The problem is that we have chosen an economic system based around jobs. If you don't have a job, you die - quickly or slowly, directly or indirectly, doesn't matter, society has no use for you. So people are obviously incentivized to try to create bullshit jobs they can slot into.
A. This is the dissent from Sotomayor, panned by pretty much every major legal figure. It is not a ruling, it is not binding, and it is not necessarily accurate. Just like, I don't know, listen to a Supreme Court podcast if you're not going to read the ruling [1].

B. That has nothing to do with the power of the Supreme Court relative to Brazil's. Our Supreme Court doesn't arrest people or order the military around.

The AI models comparison seems very helpful. Does the tool track suggestion acceptance rate for each model?
None of this is new to me, unfortunately. Going through getting FedRAMP High for my company and there are a lot of hoops to jump through. 80% of it is very reasonable e.g. DNSSEC, Hardware MFA. 20% of it is theater: You cannot, for example, allow AWS Govcloud to handle SSL termination for ECS. You have to manually verify S3 replication and cannot rely on their logging.

Still, echoing other commenters' sentiments, it's nice to see the government being forward-thinking on this. Jury is still out for NIST to weigh in on post-quantum encryption.
Except it already does. Post CSAM or the latest Disney movie and see how long that lasts.

You're speaking from the perspective of how you happened to learn things.

>> If you're taking calculus but you don't want to learn what acceleration is, then I don't know what you're even doing.

> Your statement highlights very well the point I'm trying to make.

But you're missing the point I'm making. Which is that sometimes there is a simply a clearest way to explain a subject regardless of what a student is interested in.

Saying you want to learn calculus but you're not interested in acceleration is like saying you want to learn 20th-century European History but you're not interested in WWII.

I've done my share of teaching. I greatly appreciate that you need to make things relevant to students. But at the same time, you just have to teach what the thing is, using the time-tested analogies that actually work to educate students.

If a student doesn't want to learn calculus because they have no interest in what acceleration is, then I don't think they want to learn calculus at all.

Plenty of people have made that argument for a long time. They make it to this very day - "if we have to pay a living wage (or comply with safety regulations, or give benefits, or....) we'll go out of business!"
I spend a lot of time at work trying to make sure we have our surprises as known unknowns, not unknown unknowns. And that includes avoiding surprises that are entirely in a third party’s control. I’ve heard too many stories of cron jobs shutting people off a midnight. And too many of them shutting you off on the first. Which sometimes comes on a Saturday. If I’m awake at midnight on a Saturday I’m not in a place where I want to deal with a surprise like that.

Give me something with fast feedback, where I can warn myself and others that some serious shit might happen when I push this button. Not random shit at midnight or 00:00 GMT.
That brings up an old question: who gets to decide a job is terrible?

Concentrated power multiplies the force of its actions, whether (subjectively) good or (subjectively) bad. See the danger?

Maybe someday, someone in power will decide a job you gain fulfillment from is a terrible job.

That cookbook article is a bad example, especially for normal users, since instead of explaining idiomatic cases of iteration, it explains several iteration constructs (where some are extremely complex) in one article: loop, iterate, for, mapcar, series, transducers

Built-in, of those above, are mapcar and loop.

Python iteration isn't so much about ranges, I thought. See: https://kinsta.com/blog/iterables-in-python/

The functional optional pattern thing seems fine for constructors, but I wouldn't want to have to implement it for every single function. A lot of the times it is just about readability at the call site, e.g. (using the author's example)

string.Replace(urlString, " ", "%20", -1)

is less readable than

string.Replace(urlString, replace: " ", with: "%20", maxReplacements: -1)

Of course it's not often necessary, especially when you have a named variable

string.Replace(urlString, charToReplace, escapedChar, REPLACE_ALL)

But it can also be awkward to have to declare a variable for every arg, which is probably why python allows you to call it both ways. Plus the variable names and positional arg could not match up, which can be a source of hard to find bugs
The original application of the sentinel technique makes linear search faster.

Looking for 42 in a table of integers? Put 42 after the last element (obviously you need n+1 elements allocated) and your loop does not need to check array bounds, only checking for a[i]==42 is now guaranteed to stop and not read past the array bounds.

(obviously it doesn't work if multiple threads search the same table for different values)
Hahaha, why not just check if the toothpaste you're grabbing is the last one?
