Carrier addresses Josephus, both in the On the Historicity of Jesus [0], and in his blog posts [1]. His points, as I understand them, are that: 1) The first Josephus passage — the so called Testimonium Flavianum — is an insertion by Christian scribes. He gives stylistic arguments for why this is the case: both by how dissimilar this passage is from Josephus's style, and by how similar it is to the Gospel of Luke; and 2) In the second passage, which mentions James, "the brother of Jesus, who was called Christ", the reference to Jesus had originally been a marginal note by a Christian scribe that subsequently got interpolated into the main text.

This idea of an interpolated marginal note is Carrier's own contribution, first published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Early Christian Studies in 2012. While elegant, is not the only explanation. In his blog [1], Carrier references several recent publications (peer-reviewed, as he likes to emphasize), including one published in Journal of Early Christian History in 2017 by a South African historian Nicholas Peter Legh Allen, who argues that the James passage is a forgery, of which his prime suspect is Origen [2]. So, you can see that Carrier isn't the only one among modern academic historians of antiquity who casts doubt on Josephus passages.

There is nothing to disagree here, it’s the philosophical definition of a right. It only exists if there is an obligation on the other side, in this case, to allow you to speak freely and without interference (applies both to individuals and the state).

Engineering (IMO) has nothing to do with licensing, and everything with how you approach the problem - Do you use gut feeling to make decisions, or do you follow the scientific method?

In most so called "engineering" orgs, the scientific method is explicitly banned - decisions are made by weird scrum rituals and fabricated storypoint metrics.
I am grateful that people are doing this work. But also, I just can't wrap my head around why someone would want to. It seems thankless and endless.

It's not a matter of what's located in France. It's a matter of what documentation about your company requires you to keep. Regardless of where the computers you use are physically located if you can't produce the required documents you get to be fined, be shut down, and/or go to prison. No company gets to play the game of "we're doing business in Uzbekistan but our accounting servers are in Sealand so we don't have to file any taxes or provide any other records." Not only is the idea absurd, anyone who thinks that is congenitally stupid or stupid by choice.

Authorities might not be able to seize computers and files in another country, although I think interpol can get involved in tax fraud or tax evasion matters.

Preventing access to your accounts during an audit is quite fishy, especially for an onsite audit without warning which, in France, is supposed to happen only if the authorities have doubts that you could make some evidences disappear. During an audit, the CEO is supposed to provide the documents, the inspectors are not supposed to access your files themselves I think.

(So blocking access for security reasons is bullshit, to answer someone else, the right thing to do is to have all the pieces in order for when an audit happens anyway)

> Basically cables were pulling out for months and years and no one raised the alarm?

And what if they did? Then what? My guess is the conversation went something like this:

"Okay, cables are pulling out. Raising this issue will not magically make money appear to fix it as nobody wants to fund this. Tell me, how much do you like your job? If you flag this, you may lose your job directly and if the project gets shut down you may lose your job indirectly. So, how about we bury this as much as possible, cross our fingers and bank as much money as possible in the meantime, eh?"
The US is really a two-turn voting system. The first turn is the primaries.

It's quite different from the French presidential election, but the first round is open to all candidates. A non-aligned candidate would have to formally join a party to run for the nomination, but that's a matter of paperwork, not ideology. If they win office, they owe the party no obligations at all.

The French system may well be preferable, but the American system really does have more opportunities for non-aligned candidates than people realize. They tend to dismiss the primaries as unimportant, but they really are a first round of voting -- that's why they're called "primary". Anybody who wants influence can start there, rather than jumping straight into the general election.

I think I’ll agree that some licensed fields (medicine, engineering) are more likely than not going to be allowed to do things the “Right Way.”

But at the same time I’d bet if you asked people in those professions they’d likely say, “Our bosses don’t let us do things the proper way.”

It’s more likely everybody thinks they know better than their boss regardless of the field.

Could some of this have to do with the post-WW2 rise in births peaking around 1959? That means we are now near a peak of people reaching retirement age, which often leads to them selling their current house and buying a house more suitable to retirement.

That increase in people around 65 buying retirement houses could pull up the average homebuyer age.

> Exten-sive structural modeling of the Arecibo Telescope, independently confirmed by laser cable sag surveys, validated that under all static and cyclic loading conditions, the cable loads barely exceed half the nominal cable strength.

I have a feeling such measurement and modelling might have been wrong.

It's easy to miss some oscillation mode, particularly high frequency longitudinal wave's in the cables, which couldn't be picked up by a laser survey due to the kilometers per second these waves travel.

It's not a bad thing if you're doing pure applied technology (IT) work. That should be standardized, there's really no innovation to be had, just optimization. It's when you develop novel products that innovation is required and where rigid standardization becomes a constraint.
Lol, no... as someone who has actually been to Aricebo, that is nowhere near where the telescope is in Puerto Rico. You showed a postcard from the coastal area of Aricebo in your link. The telescope is a very long and winding road away from there, it's very remote, there's nothing really near there at all.

Your links are disingenuous at best, you show possibly the best part of Puerto Rico against the worst part of TX.
Indeed, this is a major blocker. I am very wary of installing it and would never ship this to production.
When I mentioned political cost, I meant it. Single party states still need to maintain a level of popular support.

The genius in a two party system is that one party can scapegoat the other for unpopular policy. If there’s no second party, the public will begin to question the system itself.

And ignoring the political aspect, raising kids costs money. One question is who will bear that cost, both at a personal level and socially. If women are taking care of kids, they’re not in the workforce. And Chinese women have fairly high labor force participation rates (slightly higher than the US).

Enact a law to punish the employers and that would change overnight.
It's discrimination when it's based on uncontrollable situations. It is not discrimination when it's based on factors one can control. And an indefensible structure in a fire zone is most certainly something you can control. Pricing it appropriately would keep builders from building them in the first place and it would get the people that have them to do what they can to make it more defensible.

The problem is people come to the legislature screaming about being charged a rate that actually reflects the risk. The legislature eventually responds by making insurance spread the costs over it's policy base. This results in people to screaming to the legislature because their rates are skyrocketing to pay for the idiots in the danger zone. The legislature eventually responds by not allowing insurance companies to charge enough--and they walk.

By the time you reach the point of the insurance companies walking you've already had many chances to fix the problem. But we never learn, people are determined to have their cake and eat it also.
That's fine, but don't complain when you lose access to products and services that are widely available elsewhere.

In particular, restrictions on ML models will leave you without access to extremely powerful resources that are available to people in other countries, and to people in your own country who don't mind operating outside the law. Copyright maximalism is not, in fact, a good thing, and neither is overbearing nanny-statism. Both will ultimately disempower you.

There’s evidence that they have done, and currently do, a better job predicting election outcomes than polling.

Maybe I'm just spitting out random BS, but if I understood Keller correctly when he spoke about Zen that (for it) it's not really a problem to change frontend ISA as large chunk of work is on the backend anyways. If that's the case in general with modern processors, would be cool to see a hybrid that can be switched from x86_64 to RISC-V and, to add even more avangarde to it, associate a core or few of FPGA on the same die.

They think they’re above the fray, but there’s a reason Google and Meta are taking DMA way more seriously than GDPR - it’s basically a speedboat loaded with explosives in regulatory terms.

It’s designed to move fast and take out targets with extreme prejudice. It is crafted to explicitly overcome the barriers that prevent GDPR being enforced (eg Ireland).

Apple is fucking around with the EU, and will very shortly find out why the DMA is written the way it is.

Multitenant instances on AWS statically partition the hardware (CPU, RAM, network), so tenants don't really share all that much. Memory bandwidth is probably the only really affected resource.

AWS now has billing alerts with per-hour resolution and automatic anomaly detection. There are third-party tools that do the same.

For companies that deliberately obstruct justice work? Have the board and a healthy amount of executives serve 20 years in a high security prison, seize the assets and investigate their investors' due dilligence process. Gather proof with infiltrated workers.

It's not so much that there are wrong engineering techniques as much as engineers being heavily constrained and not allowed to exercise their full expertise. An example of where this is not so much the case would be areas like civil engineering because it has serious consequences if the engineering isn't done right, i.e. a bridge falling. With software there is a lot more room for interpretation as to what engineering really is or should accomplish.
I'd end up with something like this if I ever had the time. Instead of a corporate wiki, though, I'd probably use something like sphinx to compile PDF files, and store them on the public workspace.

It's simply not possible to make a practical house that won't support combustion. However, we don't need to. The threat is not what happens when the house is exposed to direct fire, but what happens when the house is exposed to ignition sources. And those *can* be stopped. Build your house such that there isn't anything combustible on the outside of the house and all access points are made spark proof.

Our house is not fire engineered--but still it has very few spots that could ignite. That's simply because we have stucco walls and a concrete tile roof. There is some exposed wood but not much. Nor are the vents spark proof.

Unfortunately, concrete tile roofs aren't suitable in many places (they don't like hail) and can't be retrofit onto most houses due to the weight.

> AI models are literally just facts.

Are they, or are they collections of probabilities? If they are probabilities, and those probabilities change from model to model, that seems like they might be copywritable.

If Google, OpenAI, Facebook, and Anthropic each train a model from scratch on an identical training corpus, they would wind up with four different models that had four differing sets of weights, because they digest and process the same input corpus differently.

That indicates to me that they are not a collection of facts.

These "You broke our arbitrary rules, therefore we fine you x% of your income" schemes are just a roundabout way for the EU to put an income tax on foreign corporations.

> it surprises me that nobody in the US seems to even mention the idea of punishing the employer for employing illegal workers

This has been my proposed solution to the immigration problem in the US. Stop attempting to corral the people coming over, and shift 100% of your resources toward punishing those who employ them. How many people will attempt to sneak into the US when no one is willing to hire them?

I also view this as a "put your money where your mouth is" stance. It changes it from a political issue into one with a practical solution, and the people benefiting from cheap labor would have to be very creative to find fault with it.
Attempted insults only decrease the credibility of the writer… anyways I didn’t claim Uber is supplying less than the legally required amount of paperwork?

Nor is it likely.

All the accounting, insurance, banking, regulatory, etc… paperwork legally necessary for even a large company in France can easily fit in a set of binders that fit in a single bookcase.

So it’s literally possible for all of it to be ready and available for inspection before anyone even touches a keyboard. And in fact that was the case for every company in France pre 1960s.
