You're presuming that it was AI which killed the kid, rather than some kind of emotional or social condition.

It's so easy to call for a ban on a thing that you see as bad when it's an emotional subject, and particularly when there are, say, incentivized evangelists who constantly reinforce the idea to attack the symptom when you can't get at the disease itself.

Which can work in some cases. There aren't a lot of effective medications for a lot of mental illnesses, and investments in research of ones which will work better is a huge expense with disincentives for success. If you "cure" or provide a drug with a higher duration of efficacy for cheaper with fewer side effects, what do you get? Well, you spent hundreds of millions figuring out how to sell 1 pill instead of 10.

The same disincentives exist for the idea of forcing doctors to insist on therapy as a treatment. If it works longer term by addressing roots of issue (if), the doc isn't getting a recurring patient every month to sign off on prescriptions, and the drug company's not getting that prescription.

Changing health and social systems isn't going to get a politician much credit. The effects of improvement are hard to quantify. The choices are HARD, and it takes years to see whether the change was good or bad.

So there's resistance to changing health and social systems.

It's a lot easier to DEMAND our politicians do something, anything, even if it's clearly a bad idea. We want to know they're at least trying.

Something violent happens, blame video games because they show violent things. It's easy and simple. Very catchy to the common man. An easy way to virtue signal that you want something done without having to actually dive in and understand all of the factors around why that bad thing just happened. You can put your energy into something simple and then go about your day.

Then you don't have to consider the impacts of rising wealth inequality, lack of social programs to detect and intervene, the quality and capacity of schools to foster healthy social environments for children, the availability and access to mental health resources, availability and access to automatic rifles, or hell, even the way your own kid has learned to treat other children and which part of your parenting processes contribute to that.

It's sooo much easier to pick a thing and cry "Boycott that! Legislate that!" instead.

And now we, collectively as a society, are doing the same with AI. And special interest groups are fanning the flames, to build moats around profit centers.
You have interpreted my comment correctly. Thanks!
Yeah that works fine if the company in question is $1B. $10M is 1% of that company.
That’s a deterrent.

But if that company was $1T then that fine is effectively the cost of legal research.
It won’t deter that company from trying to weasel their way around regulations in the future as the cost of trying justifies the potential upside.

The majority of people who run do not set their intensity by measuring the weight on their knees.

If you take someone with a fixed fitness and reduce their mass, they will expend less energy per unit of time, but in order to effectively train you need to keep a target intensity, so you increase the amount of distance you cover per step or increase your cadence, either / both of which increases the energy consumed per unit of time.

That's all I mean when I say that you just go faster.

3 seems irrelevant with regard to China given the difference in population sizes being compensated for (yes yes China's demographics are poorly balanced I've heard it before).

I think there's merit to 4 but I'd be curious if China couldn't overcome that if it could iron out some of the academic dishonesty that occurs. And lately a lot of news has made it sound like China is making headway on that one so eventually it may come down to market incentivized research objectives versus centrally set ones.
Neither the AGI nor its creators get awarded the throne of world leadership or however this is supposed to work, because the AGI is just like a person and the whole thing is an anticlimax, although a scientific triumph.

> Goldman Sachs as a company is geared to do complex low-volume, high-margin deals.

They trade billions of dollars of equities on exchange per day globally. Usually, each fill is tiny. Then do plenty of simple, high volume, low margin business. Same for spot FX, FX/equity options, all types of futures. Tiny margin, and Goldman is big in all of them.

It is funny that you think Goldman is so monolithic. They have 45,000 employees, and a vast array of businesses. As a related point, JPMorgan is both a mega commercial/retail bank plus ibank. They do both types of transactions.

I mean, I care that code is good. I'm paid to make sure my code and other people's code is good. That's enough for me to have a requirement to my tools to help me produce good code.
I did this at one of my first corporate jobs, because the computer they issued me was an abomination. In retrospect, I don't regret it at all, it was the only feasible way to get my work done. I later got fired for other reasons. If it was only a matter of having spyware installed, but the computer is otherwise on par or better than my personal one, I'd just suck it up and use theirs. Partly because theirs in my case is now better than my personal, and partly because I'd rather separate that work from my personal life, and I'm not inclined to use their's for my personal stuff... generally.
Title is misleading. It only detects RF. A hidden camera could record to storage for later upload in which case wouldn’t be transmitting continuously.
By easier I was referring to intensity, rather than the experience of your ligaments.

Presumably now that you've gotten into powerlifting you don't still lift the same weight you did when you started. If you did, it would indeed be easier. But you probably lift more weight, so that the intensity is similar.

> Social Media is a risk to all of us, not just kids. I think it's very reductive to frame this as a "think of the children" moment.

The activist movement championing the age limit are explicitly framing the issue (as Haidt does) as social media use directly leading to worse mental health markers in children and teens, and arguing that this harm is so great that any proposal claiming to fix it should be implemented, consequences be damned - exactly the kind of "think of the children" argument that gets people to argue against end-to-end encryption.

> We have very little understanding of the impact of an always on skinner box/rage box, and I think it's fair to want to understand more about how that could impact developing minds and to be more cautious about how we deploy systems that could be significant harms.
> (though I'd frame it more around regulating what interactions social media can offer.)

I argue that the problem is that advertisement and VC funding are fundamentally antithetical to making good spaces for discussion. Making a good space requires moderators who are invested in participating themselves while being conscious of their role - the kind of work where the workload scales linearly with users, but the expected accuracy and severity of screwing up grows more rapidly. However, your investors want more users and eyeballs on ads as fast as possible, while making moderation work as cheap as possible.

Social sites don't have to be "always-on Skinner boxes", but it comes down to technical and organizational decisions and whether you are willing to treat discussion spaces as a common good which don't need to run with billions in profits

“Zero Trust” is not assuming user has access or he is somehow trusted just because he is in trusted context. So you always check users access rights.

> Close to the network centrality of the of the internet

Most of the Internet is fractured even though technically publically routable.
E.g., for someone living in China the US isn't anywhere near "network centrality".

If an internet centrality exists, it is somewhere in France or the Netherlands - usually cross-continent traffic goes through there, they have dedicated interchanges for that.

A live or unedited demonstration of how a non-trivial (doesn’t have to be complex, but should be significantly more interesting than the “getting started” tutorials that litter the web) pet-project was implemented using these models.
I disagree with you on this. If you go through my history on LLM’s you’ll see that I didn’t consider them more than fancy auto-complete. I still think of it mainly as fancy auto-compete for a lot of things, but we’ve begun using Claude in our porting of our C to Rust. Claude does it really, really, well. You have to look it over, but it’s far more efficient than any one of us can without the assistance. I don’t have the exact numbers but we’re close to a 90% accuracy on what is accepted without corrections.

We follow a YAGNI approach to our code architecture and abstractions, meaning it’s very straight forward with things happening where they are written and not in 9 million places like Clean Code lovers try to do. Our C services and Libraries are also fairly small and “one purpose”. I’m not sure you would be wrong on larger code bases, at least not right now.

With what we see Claude do now though, I don’t think we’re far from a world where Software Developers are going to do significantly different work. I also think quite a lot of the stuff we do today will no longer exist.
> There is an increasing market for cloud-based systems with GPU access so that we can all enjoy the benefits of large language models appearing uninvited in every aspect of our lives.

I came for the Rust kernel drama, I stayed for the sick LLM burns.

I love LWN. Like with HN the comments are far more interesting than the article. I'm a huge Rust fan that's been using it since 1.0 and it's adoption by the linux kernel is one of the most interesting social phenomena I've seen. The tug of war between stability/backporting and moving forward with Rust in the comments is fascinating.
Chess.com software might be the worst public facing software ever assembled.
During their most popular weekly tournament (by the number of spectators) called Titled Tuesday where significant % of the world elite regularly competes they send links on a public chat to a 3rd site every 4 rounds. The reason is that there is a few minutes break and they failed implementing a clock on their side so they need 3rd party service for that.

This is one of the many, many things but imo it's the most telling. They can't even add a clock counting down the 6 minutes to their web client.
Yes. I found this out after purchasing a new laptop for my wife. One call to the Apple store that I bought the device at fixed it though. It really was (mostly) painless.
Depends on the sensitivity of the device. It might be possible to pickup the EMF of the camera, even if it's not actively broadcasting.

Every current carrying trace is an antenna.
Fair enough, I didn't express myself correctly: Writing good code is also about consistency. Just because it writes good code sometimes in isolation, it doesn't mean that it's good in the sense that it's consistently good. Anyone can write a cool function once, but that doesn't mean you can trust them to write all functions well.

Readme is also a nice way to understand the Type state pattern. Well done!

What about transitions to the same state that mutate? E.g. for a type state builder pattern. Let's say you have a "Jar" and want to "fill()" it over and over before "seal()"-ing it which is when the state change would happen?

Would that be considered no longer a type state pattern? Would all the fill states need to be encoded as types?

I've been using Blockada for many years but that's a firewall against ads and trackers. No ads inside apps.

Ideally I would use NetGuard to block the apps and Blockada to block ads and trackers for the apps that I allowed to perform network traffic in NetGuard. But Android allows only one active VPN and they can't be chained, so it's a hard choice. Actually it's not so hard: I keep blocking ads and trackers.

I don't support the idea of a war. I do support the idea of the US improving it's security posture, and improving its own possibility of success.

Make getting into and out of key industrial facilities more difficult for the unauthorized, both physically and digitally. Enhanced background checks on employees who have access to critical technology.

Expand those security requirements to international technology partners. If it's a race, incentivize partners to support our interests.

China does all of these things. If you would consider the US bad for doing so as well, how would you consider China for being better at it?

Nobody is suggesting that we invade Chinese factories. But suggesting we secure our allies industrial facilities is somehow 'engineering support for a war with China'?

You would have the US just.. give Taiwan over to China, against the will of Taiwan's own people, and against US financial and strategic interest? Or else _we're_ the bad guys if China invades?

Installing NetGuard was revelation regarding the amount of tracking in most Android apps.

You can configure it to block access by default and notify you every time an app attempts a new connection. And it rings all the time.

Some software call home at 4am every day, other every hour, some send data to a dozen "analytics" services - services that I never opted-in for, which shows how few apps respect the RGPD.

At least most apps still work when those are blocked, and NetGuard allows you to block connections to Google servers except for Google Apps, which network firewalls and DNS solutions can't.
