I wonder what he thinks about FALCON considering it's a rival to his submission based on NTRU but is on path to standardization but NTRUPrime isn't.
It doesn’t matter. Each individual has an obligation to be unobtrusive to those around them. Maybe society will reciprocate and provide support to the individual in return—the US certainly gives poor people more than poor people give society. But the obligation to society comes first.

The difference is that when a sidewalk or park is ruined and un-walkable then it's cheap and easy to just put up some orange cones. So the cost of failure is basically zero.

Not the case with the 4 train, or the L, or the 2-3. Those trains can't fail. So it's very expensive to make sure they don't. Nobody cares if Madison Square Park is blocked off for a day. (Maybe except the vagrants).

But the city will literally grind to a halt if the green or red lines aren't running.
I wonder if it could be they are logging and not clearing the logs, filling up the storage - since its happening around the same time for everyone.
> NYC has the largest subway system in the world _by_far_

It absolutely does not. It is the 12th in length and 10th by ridership: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_metro_systems
You're conflating payload delivery with booster recovery. The booster went 23/23 on payload delivery, which is clearly safe enough for human flight.

If you want to compare it with the space shuttle, you should compare apples to apples. In terms of booster recovery--where the Falcon 9 failed--the comparison would be 0/67 for the shuttle vs. 22/23 for the Falcon 9.

Seems a tad odd to say that 0/67 is acceptable, yet 22/23 is suspect.
I’m now wondering what the ratio for the subway is, do half the people skip paying the subway fare?
Hey, thank you sooooo much for testing this out with recorded feedback! Glad to hear it works well in your case.
What's wrong with funding buses the same way?
That's pretty neat! I like that it's run by a GitHub employee too (presumably as a side-project, but still) - makes me less nervous about the domain name blinking out of existence one day.
It's not theoretical. It spans lots of areas, from trivial food safety (you're forbidden/required to wash eggs depending on the country), to social (can't allow / can't deny education for women), and many others. Countries have explicitly conflicting laws in many cases and effectively force people to break another country's laws.
What’s bad about them?
I spent several years as a front-end contractor. I saw a lot of the same thing on the front-end, especially with JS. Even when I saw stuff like inserting a single black space on a line with JS, or similar things where its just a mess of calls back and forth before something actually gets executed, I asked a senior dev WTF was going on and why did this stuff get written like this.

His answer was as simple as it was dumbfounding. He said, "Its contractors. They get paid by the hour. Make sense now?" So basically someone was writing a ton of code just to take up time during the day so they could charge the hours back to the company and prove they were working their 40 hours. They DGAF about the code they were writing, they were more concerned with getting paid.

Completely maddening. My senior dev at the time said they won't even spend time refactoring any of it because it would waste too much time. He said they just made sure they have an FTE write the code next time.

It was my "welcome to the wonderful world contracting" wakeup call.
PQC is a proposal based on aggressive scaling of quantum computers however looking at the manufacturing end of it
(mainly IMEC and PSI) that doesn't seem to be the case. Heck the chinese government doesn't think that aes-256 will be broken by quantum computers till atleast 2100.I wonder which vendor convinced NIST to go ahead with PQC because the hype is plain fear mongering.
Consider PV solar: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/solar-pv-prices-vs-cumula...

In 2003, PV panels were a pretty darn mature technology. The technology was decades old. Modules cost about $5 a watt, one twenty fifth the price they were in 1975. More than two gigawatts of them had been installed worldwide. (Millions of panels!) No way could they fall in price by half, right?

Surprise. By 2010 another 38 gigawatts of solar had been installed, and the price per watt was down to $2.32. No way could they fall in price by half again, right?

Surprise. $1.02 per watt in 2012, and another 61 gigawatts installed. $0.52 a watt in 2017. $0.26 a watt today.

Just in 2022, the world installed 86 times as much solar as existed on the entire planet in 2003.

If you build a lot of something, it can get very cheap indeed.

The content-addressed database for commit objects (but not their names): possibly, yes. It has trivial merge semantics, just keep everything and deduplicate.

But that's equally true of every content-addressed system. And entirely untrue for every named object in git, which are a critical component of git being git, instead of an opaque blobstore with zero semantics.

> substantial increase in quality of life crime and petty crime

Do you have any sources for that?

I was only able to find numbers on violent crime, which have gone down recently, and weren't as bad as thirty years ago. The 70s through 90s were pretty rough.

I've heard other people say that these minor crimes go unreported and undercounted, but then it's difficult to get past anecdotes without some kind of meaurement, for example perceptions may have shofted due to more news coverage, or as we've gotten older.

I notice more beggars in general. I take that as mental health, drug and poverty than crime. I also notice less traffic law enforcement and more reckless driving. A lot of other things seem to depend on the neighborhood.

I agree that mistakes have been made in some localities. Some of problems are too big to sweep under the rug.
The dialog he got when he plugged it in mentioned FTDI and "Vinculum" which appears to be a programmable USB interface chip with serial and SPI support https://ftdichip.com/products/vnc1l-1a/ https://ftdichip.com/software-examples/vinculum-projects/

Since it's not just a generic non-programmable serial chip I assume it's also doing something more. But it doesn't do Ethernet so I bet it's not actually PoE but like... power+serial over Cat5
The original from pron:

f ≜ CHOOSE f ∈ [Int → Int] :
∀ x ∈ Int : f[x] = -f[x]

You added the > in your quote of pron, he didn't have it in the original. There is no c in ℤ with c != 0 s.t. f(x) = c and f(x) = -f(x), that would imply that c = -c for non-zero integers which is not true. The only function that can satisfy pron's constraints is f(x) = 0 since c = 0 is the only time
c = -c, or 0 = -0.

My personal complaint is that "jewelry making" is on their todo list....jewelry making is like 20 different hobbies!! I make chainmaille jewelry. I know nothing about wire wrapping, let alone working with heat. Then you can have beaded jewelry, where there's bead crochet/weaving/other techniques (I don't know much about beads). There's macrame, there's glass, you can do ceramics, resin, etc. And this is just materials, not talking about designing vs crafting. That is not one hobby!
I really like the noisy half-filled box instead of a more common regular pattern.
I can see both sides of this. The excitement of "new" and the concern of what is lost.

C++ wasn't put into critical dependency in the kernel in FreeBSD either. If you think it's just a dialect of C (I don't) then that speaks to the strength of opposition.

Lua was put in the kernel. Perhaps because "it's just forth" and has less risk of drift from a critical dependency.

When the pace of change of Rust moves to less-than-annual, I think it might be valid but frankly I think RustBSD is a better model: fork the code, write a rust kernel, maintain an ABI which C can live with, move forward.

Carrier back in the 2000's had a problem with their heat exchangers in their gas furnaces failing far more often than they should. They were sued, settled, and part of the settlement was an extended warranty of the heat exchanger, including labor.

Great, right?

The local carrier dealer lied and said the unit wasn't under warranty. They lied again when reminded of the class-action settlement, claiming only part were included and said would cost a fortune in labor.

When I called Carrier and told them what their factory authorized gold/preferred/whatever-they're-called dealer was pulling, Carrier confirmed I was correct and even verified the unit's serial number and said that if the dealer had checked the SN, they would have found it was covered.

The dealer then said 'fine, but those parts are going to take weeks to get from the warehouse' knowing damn well I had no heat, in the winter. They had us over a barrel and they fucking knew it, and I didn't have any way to prove that claim wrong.
Perhaps the rule is fine and your strict interpretation is what's off? E.g. I've always taken that "original source over reporting on the original source" rule as being "post what the original source said instead of what somebody said about the original source" not as "don't ever post verbatim archives of the original source, even if it makes them accessible to read".

Or maybe it's not... but isn't it at least worth considering that kind of debate before admonishing others for not wanting to follow the rule you don't even agree with for the sake of following rules?
Mate!

> you'll start noticing bad tiling jobs everywhere

To me, that's the crux of it. There are structural and system jobs (load bearing carpentry, electrical, plumbing) and there's everything else (tiling, painting, countertops, cabinetry, etc).

If you screw up the latter... it looks bad, and that's about the end of it.

Which is to say, give it a go. Most people, with the proper investment of time and care, can do a better-than-contractor job on non-code/permit type work, simply by virtue of caring about it more.
Not to mention that the fire department in many places will also send you a bill if you happen to use their services. It's usually a very small bill (a few hundred bucks for a service literally worth hundreds of thousands), and your insurance will usually cover it.

If you need an ambulance ride, that bill can be thousands, but is covered by health insurance.

> Is it due to something inherent in PDF technology?

Exactly. PDF doesn't have instructions to say "render this paragraph of text in this box", it has instructions to say "render each of these glyphs at each of these x,y coordinates".

It was never designed to have text extracted from it. So trying to turn it back into text involves a lot of heuristics and guesswork, like where enough separation between characters should be considered a space.

A lot also depends on what software produced the PDF, which can make it easier or harder to extract the text.
This is legal for a person to do, right? Why should it not be legal for an LLM to do?

AFAIK but IANAL, I can go look at a solution in a GPLed library and then code that solution in my proprietary code base. As in, "oh, I see, the used a hash map for that and a list of this, and locked at this point. I'll code up something similar". As along as you don't "copy the code" you're fine.

Am I wrong?

Is it just a matter of scale? (hey there LLM, re-write all of OpenOffice into ClosedOffice).

I draw more parallels between OpenAI and Xerox and the copyright crisis about people making copies of material.

https://www.copyright.gov/title37/201/37cfr201-14.html

> The copyright law of the United States (title 17, United States Code) governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted material.

> Under certain conditions specified in the law, libraries and archives are authorized to furnish a photocopy or other reproduction. One of these specific conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction is not to be “used for any purpose other than private study, scholarship, or research.” If a user makes a request for, or later uses, a photocopy or reproduction for purposes in excess of “fair use,” that user may be liable for copyright infringement.

> This institution reserves the right to refuse to accept a copying order if, in its judgment, fulfillment of the order would involve violation of copyright law.

The machine is not at fault for reproducing an exact copy of copyrighted materials. It is perfectly within fair use of copyright if it is used for private study, scholarship, or research.

If that person goes beyond that, and uses the reproduction for purposes beyond that then it is that person is liable for infringement - not the machine.
I totally agree, in principle! But I also remember what Seattle buses were like when we still had the ride-free zone: people would just ride the bus back and forth across the zone all night, to have somewhere to sleep. To a point, making buses free makes them more accessible as transportation; but then, literal free-riders make them less accessible as transportation. I don't know what the solution is.
I think they're talking about asymmetric crypto, not symmetric crypto, which is somewhat quantum resistant (or they can just double the length).
The apps are signed, so it's possible to compare signatures against the originals. I haven't seen any reports of signatures not matching from Apkpure, though certainly possible.

But more importantly, what's the actual threat vector here? This isn't his personal phone. Just don't connect the tablet to your Wi-Fi. What's it going to do, sneakily increase your temperature by 1 degree?

Most would probably get two servers with a simple failover strategy. But on the other hand servers rarely die. At the scale of a datacenter it happens often, but if you have like six of them, buy server grade stuff and replace them every 3-5 years chances you won't experience any hardware issues

Not "sharing the data" - he's investigated for not acting on it. We can speculate about government control conspiracies etc. but in a more simple scenario - we know telegram is popular for crime and scams and they don't care. Looking further until that part is solved feels weird.

> Toxic empathy

Do not forget that NYC charges a substantial income tax, and also a substantial sales tax. As such, the empathy is 100% justifiable.
It's more complicated than that, because some stations with multiple lines get counted multiple times for that. Though even if NYC does have 20 more stations than Shanghai, it's a bit of a stretch to call that "by far". When, again, other cities have twice the tunnel length and nearly twice the ridership.

There are neighborhoods in Queens and Brooklyn where the closest subway station can be miles away, and there is an entire borough in NYC that has no general subway access at all, so not buying that one either.
There's an online community for Cosmopolitan C on places like Discord. Everyone who's there, is there because I welcome them and want them to be there.

A pandemic and war have a lot in common. There's an information gap and an urgency of action needed, so people make the best decisions they can with the information they have at the time.

I didn't doubt history will show a lot of best-guesses based on available information were untrue. But I'd rather people take it seriously and follow the guidance of the folks who prepared for this kind of disaster than do what we did in the 1920s. Even with a knowledge gap and errors, it lengthened most people's lives to lock down, mask up, and get vaccinated.
