Insurance for AI: Easier Said Than Done
> According to the Spiegel, “other nations operating with warships [in the Red Sea] reported that escort was currently not possible.”

So, basically "Dear German Navy - Unfortunately, our warships are too busy protecting non-warships to protect your warship. Sincerely, Your Allies"
It must be difficult to be one of the few fiscally responsible developed nations.

It’s a bit like how if everyone on your block was racking up massive amounts of debt to buy lavish goods and throw parties. By comparison you’d feel poor, even if your income was similar. Not until the music stops would your neighbors suddenly be worse off.

It also must be frustrating that in a global economy, everyone is hit with inflation, not just the countries printing massive amounts of currency. Countries like Germany still have to pay the price, even though they’re not reaping the benefits.
"Diet could possibly help dampen effects"

If you are on the Standard American Diet, and having autoimmune disorders, then improving any diet can 'dampen', and that might be enough.

Don't think anybody thinks diet is a 'cure' of autoimmune disorders, just some improvement.

That's a bit disingenuous.

HOA's can (and regularly do) enforce rules that governmental entities are constitutionally prohibited from enforcing.

Yes, technically not a violation because the HOA isn't technically government.
Agreed that existing serverless stacks like lambda are a nightmare. But the real problem is that they don't solve the state management problem. (You need step functions to compose lambdas AND you need a bunch of custom logic for recovery in case lambdas crashes/pause/timeout).

I do hope tomorrow's engineers won't have to learn devops to use the cloud. My team works on what we think is the better way to do serverless, check it out! https://dbos.dev/

I.e. easements that come from law rather than seller stipulation? Seems an easy distinction to make.
> it's remarkable how different the consensus of serious historians is from what most people learned in sunday school.

Well one side is "children, once a week" and the other is "full time commitment in history career".

Sunday school is just day care with stories. I once believed that "wet wood burns better than dry wood" because that's what a Sunday school teacher opened with for the story of the altar burning comparison (OT).

I'm still "a Christian" in some sense of the word, in that I think humans operate wholly on stories, and that there needs to be a unifying power structure that is ruthless yet humane, and I think some form of Christianity fits the bill.

but I believe no one (in most churches) actually knows what they're talking about. "Useful ignorance" useful for the power structure. They don't want historians at Sunday school they want recital.
It’s a matter of time. Spectre / meltdown were also considered extremely hard to use in practice. Yet they are considered vulnerabilities.

In Golang case the data race window to corrupt memory is extremely narrow, so it makes it very hard to trigger it. That together with Go being still quite a niche language results in the fact we see no exploits… yet.
> Sure, but you are also appealing for public sentiment.

You can't count on public sentiment for anything labor oriented in the US - corporations have owned the narrative for the last 40 years. The reason teachers unions avoid clashing is partially because they care about not effecting the kids as much as possible, and partially because they are already keeling over with states dropping the public school system.
> WFH is one more right in that list

Yet, strangely, your list doesn't contain any rights. Employers absolutely can ask you to work 80 hours per week / six days per week if they so choose (with assumptions about you being an average US resident; obviously jurisdictions can vary). You have the right to a higher rate of pay after a certain number of hours (with some exceptions) if you accept, but that's something quite different.

> WFH is one more right in that list

While rights can have exceptions, when those excepted are greater in numbers than than those eligible... Good luck! The right to higher pay if you work on location seems more politically tenable, but isn't that already priced in anyway?
This is a program that executes and produces an output. It also has state - every step of executing that DSL is creating and manipulating a piece of state that builds up a declarative description of what the final output should look like.

The other thing you list, input, is optional. I write programs that don't take any input all the time. Monte Carlo simulation, for example. The entire demoscene is largely devoted to creating incredibly sophisticated programs that don't take any input. Postscript is a full, Turing-complete language whose primary purpose is to create programs that generally don't take any input
Me as well, specially in the days that there was only a UNIX dev server for everyone.

Of course, but I think people do (and should) bargain for as much as they can get. I don't think it should be motivated by and only when workers "feel bad" about the economy necessarily.
No, “free market” doesn’t quite mean the same thing as “no state restriction on private contacts”. I mean, those concepts are usually correlated, but not in this case.

For a more obvious example: if all the companies that sell smartphones agreed to form a cartel to raise prices, the state preventing them from making that agreement would make the market for smartphones more free, not less.
Yea, maybe shouldn't have gone to Barnard Castle to get his eyes tested though.
> It's so bad that there are companies promising JDK8

Come on, that's absolutely not the reason behind. That just means that there are banks and such that still run goddamn windows XP completely firewalled off from the internet just because. Similarly, for some companies not touching that ancient codebase and just having it safely run worth the hassle and the money.

I experienced only minor psychic harm until the bit about IT saying that the MIT license not being good enough, whereupon I became wracked by both pain and laughter for the remainder of the article.

> I.e. easements that come from law rather than seller stipulation?

A lot of convservation land in America is put under non-governmental easement [1]. The owner puts a restriction on the deed prohibiting development. They typically require emininet domain powers to be removed.

Just hire a tall, handsome man with a full head of hair, but have all of their decisions and public statements scripted by CEO-BOT. You could train the LLM on a huge corpus of yes-men and sycophants, until it can perfectly imitate the output of a real CEO.
Calling gmail or youtube apps is already kind of a stretch. Gmail splits everything into separate web pages with the associated loading times and need to navigate back and forth. Exacerbating this is that it paginates things, which is something you only ever see in web pages. It lacks basic features you'd expect out of an application like ability to resize UI panes. Youtube has a custom, worse version of a <video> tag to prevent you from saving the videos (even CC licensed ones, which is probably a license violation), but is otherwise a bunch of minimally interactive web pages.

Maps is legitimately an interactive application, though I'd be surprised if most people don't use a dedicated app for it.

The point is you wouldn't have an "apps browser" with tabs. If something is nontrivial, launch it as an actual application, and let the browser be about browsing websites with minimal scripting like the crossword puzzle. Honestly there probably should be friction with launching apps because it's a horrible idea to randomly run code from every page you browse to, and expanding the scope of what that code is allowed to do is just piling on more bad ideas.

> They aren't going to somehow magically fix this problem in Go, it's part of the design.

I wouldn't be entirely pessimistic.

Russ's post https://research.swtch.com/gorace mentions a conservative representation for Go's data structures (essentially: more indirection) that would make it possible to implement them in a way that was robust to races, at an obvious large performance cost.

More recently others have been investigating the possibility of using 128-bit atomic writes (on ARM and x86) to reduce the cost. Go's strings and interfaces are both 2-word structures. Slices are three words but by changing the field order atomicity can be achieved with 2-word writes. Of course it would break a lot of code that assumes the representation or the ABI.
> My HOA is worded such that it must exist for at least 30 years and there are no facilities to dissolving it before that time

Technically, there are. Lack of an explicit termination clause doesn't mean an agreement can't be terminated. But the party that would object to that termination is the lender. If you had their sign off, you could dissolve the HOA today.
Great explanation. Indeed, the "rotation/tumbling" is nothing to worry about. One of our biggest challenges is relaxation. The moment we polarize, the clock ticks. Usually, the time scope is around 15-90s. I'm in the field of para-hydrogen and built automated systems which carry out the chemical reactions, polarization transfers and sample cleaning. Many hyperpolarization experiments with para-hydrogen prefer nasty solvents as chloroform or methanol. It is a technical challenge to replace them by water within seconds. One of my favorite topics is Xenon hyperpolarization. It's very elegant, no cleaning required, no wet chemistry, and provides amazing lung scans.
thanks for the callout — was taking me a second to respond because I wasn't 100% sure. It's a good question. I was actually trying to get the phone with a copyright lawyer to give an accurate answer. I believe (not a legal advice) it depends on the given website's terms of service. There's usually a "fair use" clause. Of course, if you do use the extension and you're reading this: don't use their own trademarks (like logos!) on your own site! Use our convert button and edit it to make it fully your own.

There are many extensions that grab designs from any website (this is not new tech) - what's different about ours is that we convert it to a React component for the purpose of then editing it with AI to make it your own.

> One must have income or wealth, however.

That doesn’t mean the last company that they happened to work for owes them these things.

If you think people should be entitled to food and shelter, fine. But it should be provided by the state, not by a private business that was unlucky enough to make a bad hiring decision.

(And in fact, the state does provide various forms of welfare including unemployment insurance. I’d be in favor of increasing those.)

I would, it's not my favorite of Stephenson's books, but it's a fun read, a nice change of pace.
I would argue that dev containers are more complicated than CI even though they share many of the challenges (e.g. devcontainers might need to load 10s or 100s of GBs to start and are write heavy). I would also argue that userns/rootless containers provide "enough" isolation when it comes to isolating CPU/memory/networking as well as access to the host's syscalls if you're careful enough; however when it comes to storage (e.g. max disk size that a container can use and write to, max opened files, completely hiding the host's fs from the container's, etc...), it's unfortunately still extremely limited,fs-dependent for some features, even though modern solutions (e.g. vDPA and ublk) can be used to fix that and virtualize the storage for containers.
I have an HP Prime (and older ones such as the 48gx). I don't know why they remove the "undo" button from the Prime since it is necessary when perform mistakes.
You are incorrect. This has nothing to do with regulations.

It's the same as a farmer secretly buying up neighboring already irrigated fields from bankrupt farmers, and not planting on them in order to be able to raise the price on their own crops, assuming that the cost of importing the same crops from elsewhere is prohibitive and there is no other readily arable land nearby (thus they have a monopoly on the local market). So it's cheaper for them to leave the purchased fields fallow, and raise prices, than grow more crops.

This is the type of predatory capitalist practices for which we need regulation in the first place.
I like Perplexity as a product. I’ve used the product a bit and was always impressed that it seemed pretty balanced.

Why would the leadership of a fairly popular, generally well-liked company with a generally useful, generally well-liked product take a pretty strident stance at the maximally high-temperature moment: fuck labor as a bloc, we’ll cross the strike lines?

Don’t technology companies want to avoid this kind of political shit and just build and ship?
Also, it’s possible to do inference on less than cutting edge hardware. The open models will propagate allover the world and people will run their own local, fine tuned models on e waste.
Amazing to watch Herbie Hancock approach the synth / sampler keys as its own instrument distinct from piano or rhodes or clav. He’s very comfortable with the stylus and touchscreen ui, too. They fit snugly into his workflow to where it feels like he helped develop them. Any videos on that? I’ll review the old Rock School videos from this same period. Quincy Jones is so lucky his dad took him to see Mr. Hancock.

I wish the abominations software engineers create were as regulated and fixable as a bad wiring job. I would feel absolutely chuffed to work in an industry with licensed inspectors and standards bodies.

I am currently dealing with a system involving four separate serverless functions that call each other. There's no reason whatsoever why any of them need to be network calls. The fourth function just calls the first function again. One is in a different region for no discernible reason.
Yeah, your right. There are certainly some regulatory challenges with liquor and if a host a serving food. But to get around the liquor license issue, it could be byob. The events also do not necessarily have to involve a party - it could be other events focused around a theme or activity.

Bouncers for hosts would probably not be necessary. I've used airbnb experiences before and this is basically the same concept. Airbnb doesn't have bouncers for their hosts. The ability to leave reviews by both hosts and guests would deter bad behavior. But this is an issue I need to dig deeper into.
Thank you. This gives me a really strong understanding/insight into why it's appreciated. I really appreciate you taking the time to explain/write that out.
Even if some sort of security bug is discovered tomorrow, then we're talking about one issue every 15 years or so. Whoop die doo. That barely even registers in the noise.

That it "may" lead to a problem and that it's not "sound" is basically just meaningless.
For free association to be meaningful the association has to be able to restrict freedom of expression, or kick out those who refuse the restrictions.

Otherwise someone could just shout down any meeting the association decides to have.

So the pertinent question would be, are HOAs legitimate associations in that sense?
The idea is that you can open the app at any time and see what events are happening IRL in your location. Would that be something you'd find useful?
> This is not "using" the government to disable other market participants, this is illegally abusing the mechanism of a deed restriction to monopolize a market and extort people.

Betting on government inaction for breaking the law is still using the government. If it is illegal, then a competing grocery store should be able to open its doors and any lawsuits thrown out. Considering Albertsons’ and other grocery store’s lawyers are not willing to bet on this, it must be clearly illegal, which is again, a problem the government has to solve.

The part of this article about Mammoth is very off:

- The vacant K-Mart being referred to is not in Mammoth at all, it is in the nearest larger town of Bishop, a 45 minute drive away. There has never been a K-Mart in Mammoth.

- There is also a Grocery Outlet in Mammoth just down the street from Von's, so there's already more than one grocery store? It's a different store format but it's still a very legit full grocery. There is also a Grocery Outlet in Bishop.

It's an important topic but the Mammoth part is not sourced well.
The form factor of an HP48 or similar calculator is very attractive. Good tactile buttons in a format slightly laeger than a modern smartphone. I imagine it could work as a very good companion to a smartphone ifbit had modern comoute capacity and memory plus some modern I/O interfaces like USB or Bluetooth.
If someone bought land with a deed restriction against locating a grocery store there, and they did locate a grocery store there, what would happen? Who has the right to enforce that restriction? Could it be overridden as a antitrust violation?
