> If [the accusations] were refutable, he would have refuted it at trial.

This is not what irrefutable means. There are many reasons something might be refuted poorly at trial even if the accused never did anything wrong at all. This is why appeals happen.

The standard of evidence I’m talking about is whether or not it is possible in principle to call the evidence into question, not whether or not the defense team did a good job.

Put another way, there must be a preponderance of evidence such that it is not possible even in principle to question it, i.e. the crime was committed in a room full of witnesses, or the crime was captured on camera, etc. The evidence must be so air tight that there is no possible way to question it.

That standard was not met in this case.

> You are welcome to morally oppose the death penalty in principle, but with the set of moral opinions that produced the Missouri legal code, the death penalty was not misapplied in this case

The opinions that produced the Missouri legal code that allowed this execution are immoral/unethical independent of one’s position on the death penalty itself. One does not have to oppose the penalty entirely to demand proper standards of evidence.

Personally, I don’t think the death penalty should exist. But if it must exist, it must be held to an appropriate standard. That this is even slightly controversial is something I have a difficult time understanding.

Octopuses are much more intelligent than many give them credit for, but sadly I also love takoyaki (but then again, eating horse and whale is also culturally acceptable in Japan, one of the few countries that allow it; I've tried both as well, they're pretty good).
Indeed, however I would vouch those rewrites have been more a people issue than technical.

Apparently there is unwillingness to have "high class talent", while starting from scratch in a completly different programming language stack where everyone is a junior, is suddenly ok. Clearly CV driven development decision.

Secondly, in many cases, even if all optimization options on the specific language are exhausted, it is still easier to call into a native library in a lower level language, than a full rewrite from scratch.
Agreed. I was commenting [1] on how this could be one of the posts where HN is totally wrong about looking back 10 years from now, similar to the Dropbox post.

As it happens with every discussion touching on sufficiently sensitive skin ("offending" some people, countries, etc.). One can't imagine that an article trashing a former president of Y Combinator will survive well especially on HN where burying any discussion in the "flagged" category is absolutely trivial.

It doesn't mean the information in any of these articles is true or false, just that the mere existence of the discussion offends, so it's promptly pushed under the table through a voting system that is exceptionally ripe for abuse.

> For various reasons, the contactless system sadly still lags behind Oyster, with basic functionality like NR discount entitlements missing and showing no signs of emerging anytime soon.

It’ll happen eventually. The Oyster system has already hit breaking point. There’s now a number of stations around London that only accept contactless and not Oyster, due to memory constrains on the Oyster cards that prevents support.

TfL’s long term goal is to migrate the entire Oyster system onto the contactless backed end, so the cards cease to be stored value cards, and simply become unique account identifiers. TfL have did part of this migration a few years ago when they phased out older Oyster cards that couldn’t correct support the new ID based system. I assume that when they introduced weekly caps on the Oyster cards, that was partly enabled by their migration efforts to the contactless backed end.

For them to complete the migration, they’ll need to support railcards on the contactless system. Although exactly how they’ll do that I have no idea. But either way the capabilities of the two different systems continue to diverge, and that’s going rapidly become unsustainable.

> The physical infrastructure, like the gatelines, are all still controlled by Cubic as well.

Sure, but so what? I don’t think TfL should be getting into the game of building and running their own barriers, there’s no point. It would be like expecting TfL to build and run all their own trains. They’re much better of contracting that work out to other companies that specialise in that work.

The only reason why TfL built its own contactless system was because there was simply no commercial offering out there that met their needs. Ticketing is probably one of TfLs most important skills, and part of building the contactless system involved negotiating with Mastercard and Visa to introduce specific new features into all card systems and contracts to support transport ticketing. Something which every other transport system in the world that also support contactless payments has directly benefited from.

Not entirely "hired", but my site helped me to land a writing job. I've been writing interactive pieces on https://wordsandbuttons.online/ since 2017, and in 2021 Manning asked me if I wanted to write https://www.manning.com/books/geometry-for-programmers and, well, two years after it went to print.
I'm not the person you replied to, but I think you're forgetting that physical capital, for example the oven, is designed and manufactured by human workers.

There wouldn't be any capital without human work, so placing more importance on capital than human work doesn't make any sense.

Take all the capital in the world away and we'll create more capital out of basic need for survival. Take human workers away and you have machines sitting idle and the world starving to death.

You've changed my mind on this a bit! I was generally more in the mindset of: "sure, maintain the old copy". Granted, Wordpress isn't the best choice for this. Vulnerabilities abound.

It's funny we still agree, coming from different approaches :) To your point, it doesn't make much sense to fork and actually maintain the code. I more meant the installation/deployment. I'm not that afraid with things like SELinux policies and network boundaries in place.

One could learn the new thing, find something more suitable, or run the old thing until the wheels fall off. We're spoiled for choice!

Creating more fragmentation/choice extends the challenge. We see this with Linux distributions. Outside of like four root distributions, we have N derivatives re-packaging for slightly different themes and configs.

Given enough time and caffeine I could replace the entire ISO ecosystem with YML and Linux from Scratch... but I use something more traditional because I value my time/effort.

Zero memory inside the model from one input (ie token output) to the next (only the KV cache, which is just an optimization). The only "memory" is what the model outputs and therefore gets to re-consume (and even there it's an odd sort of memory since the model itself didn't exactly choose what to output - that's a random top-N sampling).

There is no real runtime learning - certainly no weight updates. The weights are all derived from pre-training, and so the runtime model just represents a frozen chunk of learning. Maybe you are thinking of "in-context learning", which doesn't update the weights, but is rather the ability of the model to use whatever is in the context, including having that "reinforced" by repetition. This is all a poor substitute for what an animal does - continuously learning from experience and exploration.

The "magic dust" in our brains, relative to LLMs, is just a more advanced and structure architecture, and operational dynamics. e.g. We've got the thalamo-cortical loop, massive amounts of top-down feedback for incremental learning from prediction failure, working memory, innate drives such as curiosity (prediction uncertainty) and boredom to drive exploration and learning, etc, etc. No magic, just architecture.

I think it's worth exploring the interesting psychology behind WFH. If you ask anybody they would say they would want to work from home. Regardless of the efficiency, the job, all of that, WFH in my opinion has more to do with avoiding work than it does actual work. When you are at work, you can't avoid it, but when you are home, you can walk away, pretend, and make your boss think you are working.
Go doesn't have any role on Android, other than being used on a build system that uses Go as its DSL.
All I'm trying to do is qualify things so that the trade offs can be more honestly assessed. The bisect for finding that commit might not work as well as you hope if you need to skip over commits that don't build or whose tests fail for other reasons. Those things can happen when you aren't testing each individual commit.

I understand there are tools for testing each individual commit. You'll notice that I didn't say it's impossible to ensure every commit is tested. Needing to use random tools to do it is exactly what makes it difficult. And the tool you linked says literally nothing about using it in CI. How good is its CI integration? There's more to it than just running it. On top of all of that, there are more fundamental problems, like increasing CI times/costs dramatically for PRs split into multiple fine grained commits.

Again, anyone here can go look at my projects on GitHub. I try hard to follow atomic commits. I think it's worth doing, even with the downsides. But we shouldn't try to make things look rosier than they actually are.
I want to ask the question: if software engineers had 1000 times or 1 millions times, or 1^12, or 1^30 more computer power and storage, would they be able to make advance in AI or go toward general intelligence?

I would say probably not.

Unless computer scientists try to understand what biological intelligence really is, AI will not advance.
For many users (and for the environment), I'm sure it would, sadly these things get sold on headline numbers like "smallest/lightest yet" and "longest battery life" so a product focusing on that would end up failing in the market

Thanks. The article sounds like Meta wanted 40% off, DT offered 16%, they couldn't agree. DT allowed the traffic to continue while it waited for an agreement to be made and Meta abused it, then said something along the lines of "well, they've been letting us send traffic for free so...", and the court told Meta to fuck off, because that wasn't the terms of the previous contract.

Foucauldian Discourse Analysis
This is going to be very controversial, but I think the technology industry of America is very smug.

Confessions of a Hinge Power User
I have configured this for family and have had no complaints so far, and can walk them through disabling it if it ever gets to it.

Steps are pretty simple:

- build and dump image on a 7$ raspberry pi pico, put that on the network.

- Configure TV DNS server to point to the pico.

- Configure router to block DNS traffic entirely from TV.

- Test

If it works, then it should work a long time. TV won't get any updates, netflix doesn't seem to cycle or add new domains.

There is a perception that DOIs signify something being 'official', whatever that means. But in the publishing ecosystem (e.g. Crossref), it's whatever the publisher decides to publish. There's a wide range of publishers who publish anything from books to peer-reviewed works to preprints.

Two examples of DataCite members are OSF.io and Figshare.com . They have very different models. Figshare lets you share and assign DOIs to arbitrary research files. OSF lets you version-control your research and assign a DOI to the project.

Parasitism of any kind is fascinating, and is often horrific.

I was on a bird walk yesterday morning and one of the participants pointed out a brightly colored black and yellow millipede that had climbed up a tree trunk. What was it doing there? I can't be sure, but that species is subject to attack by a fungus that takes control and makes it climb up tree trunks, walls, fenceposts, etc. so that as it expires it discharges spores well above the ground.

A relevant SMBC: https://www.smbc-comics.com/?id=2331

Parasitic wasp interactions are also where nature is truly vicious. A predator like a big cat will hunt many times over its life. It cannot risk too much in each encounter, so the interactions are to some extent subdued, the prey often escaping. But with parasitic wasps, it may succeed just once in its life. The stakes are as high as they can be, and the wasp can risk all to succeed.
No, but it's not Silicon Valley CEOs' place to be making that decision unilaterally, nor is their culture some shining paragon of virtue either. They are not entitled to treat others paternally. It's not anyone's place to be executing it in such a hamfisted and harmful manner either.
I think there are still mechanics at play that would have to be considered.

>The probe bears on the ice below it

This implies it is bearing the weight of the entire cable above it. So instead of the tensile stress being the limiting factor, it's not the compressive stress. If you're intent is to retract the spool, it would still be in tensile stress as it comes up. (And you'd need enough torque to do so. But maybe you the plan would be to abandon in place).

>What you have to worry about is the ice shifting and severing the cable.

I agree, that's a pretty big concern.

Not really. You can always start walking of course, but like with the car, that won't help you much. If you were using your bike to get to the other side of the city (which in many non-US cities is quite possible and common) - walking there will take you the whole day instead of a half-hour.

WinDev culture is largely C++ and they aren't in any rush to change that, other than some incremental use of Rust.

WinRT is basically COM and C++, nowadays they focus on C# as consumer language, mostly because after killing C++/CX, they never improved the C++/WinRT developer experience since 2016, and only Windows teams use it, while the few folks that still believe WinUI has any future rather reach out for C#.

If you want to see big chuncks of C# adoption you have to look into business units under Azure org chart.
