The advantages for an online conference depend on the scale and goals of the conference.

If your goal is to get your information out to "attendees" who may not have the means (time/money) to travel and that info is high value to both the receiver and attendee, its a great medium.

If your goal is to connect 1:1, its not great, but virtual versions of Braindate where 1:1's can be scheduled make it more useful. During lockdown, people had a lot more incentive to connect virtually because that was the only way to connect. And a virtual conference provided access to people you may not have access to in your usual spheres.

I personally prefer in person as I enjoy the vibe and learn as much or more in the hallways as I do in the sessions... At large conferences, I don't attend sessions in person that will be available to stream later so that I can take advantage of the other features that are only available in person.

We have a new tool in our toolbox that was developed greatly during lockdown and in the subsequent years and the value will be based on how much people use them as much as by their intrinsic features.

There is so much more one could say, but in the end, I don't think its an either/or ... its about fit.
That doesn't seem possible to me. If you have a feature that involves 10 teams and 10 services, nothing will actually work until the 10th change is made (assuming everything was done perfectly).
>seems they believe in the separation of Church and state"

ha, good one.

remind me of the joke about niklaus wirth's name.

[ Quotes about Niklaus Wirth

Whereas Europeans generally pronounce his name the right way ('Nick-louse Veert'), Americans invariably mangle it into 'Nickel's Worth.' This is to say that Europeans call him by name, but Americans call him by value.
Introduction by Adriaan van Wijngaarden at the IFIP Congress (1965). ]

It's a fortunate thing, then, that the share of electricity generated by fossil fuels continues its steady decline - down to 59% across the US at this point.
Same but for Washington DC: https://www.dcwater.com/about-dc-water/media/news/dc-water-r...

As a European visiting DC this August, I was shocked (among other things) by a) the city being so empty it felt like a zombie apocalypse, b) advertisements for this map to check if your water contains lead, like you are in a developing country.
Definitely a good point. I used dashmap's benchmark suite because it was already setup to bench many popular libraries, but I definitely want to get this tested in more varied scenarios. I'll try to add a benchmark for a single key only this week.

There's generally an unstated (and occasionally explicit, as in this case) reverence from software people for the kind of mythical engineering that goes on in fabs. In reality, if you've had any direct experience with the manufacturing process—and I'm talking about current- or next-gen processes for the most sophisticated mass market devices like those going into flagship smartphones, mining ASICs, GPUs, and critical applications like use in EVs—you know that a bunch of it is in the hands of folks whose most desirable asset in a prospective worker is that they'll accept low pay to eventually get the necessary work done to the prevailing standard best described as "adequate".

Valley types especially, but even other software folks would be really surprised by how much of what goes on in fabs is basically the sort of thing that you would expect to see from people plucked from amateur hour. I've posted about this before on HN. Where improvement to existing chipmaker operations is concerned, the fruit hangs so, so low.

Elon's biggest, dumbest misstep is not just buying Twitter; it's buying Twitter and not putting an equal or lesser amount of resources instead into gaining control over how his own (and others') chips are made—doing the same thing for the industry that he did with SpaceX for aerospace.

Again, because it cannot be emphasized enough: what passes for acceptable in fab operations is bonkers.

It's hard to generalize as domains vary greatly, but in general abstractions can account for more than enough extensibility unless the requirements are extremely vague and not well defined. This tends to be the case of why so many changes are constantly needed, because usually Product and Design are not defining requirements with abstractions in mind.

Domain Driven Design basically aimed at tackling this issue, by trying to synchronize abstractions across departments, so I get that there are no easy solutions, especially in large orgs.
I use a multiple of `std::thread::available_paralellism()`. Tbh I borrowed the strategy from dashmap, but I tested others and this seemed to work quite well. Considering making that configurable in the future so that it can be specialized for different use-cases or used in single-threaded but cooperatively scheduled contexts.

This article is absolute garbage. He never said they are importing voters "to vote for Harris in the 2024 election".

He said the Biden/Harris admin is flying in migrants, which is somewhat true -- they are allowing migrants with temporary status to fly directly into the US on commercial flights. [1]

He said they want to give them a path to citizenship, which is true. [2]

If these people have Temporary Protected Status for many years living in the US, do you think there is any political will to deport them at that point? If they will not be deported, Democrats will want to give them a path to citizenship. Citizenship means they are then allowed to vote.

I made I think just one ActBlue donation many years ago, maybe two such donations, and I’ve clicked unsubscribe for every political list that has emailed me since then. I keep getting emails from campaigns I’ve never donated to, new ones every cycle, and so frequently and frenetically that I don’t even check the emails for my ActBlue donor address at all.

If ActBlue doesn’t want at least moral culpability for causing that type of outcome, they should do what they can to stop it in the future, even though everything you wrote in your post is accurate.

The inability to minimize spam resulting from my donations is the one and only reason I don’t donate. I would happily donate if I had a way to limit the responses to a confirmatory thank-you message and nothing else. Even the alumni relations department for the university I attended allowed me to express my contact preferences once years ago, and they’ve respected that ever since. But not US politicians.

By contrast, the one time I made a Canadian political donation - I was then a Canadian permanent resident and am now a US-Canadian dual citizen - I was able to do so over the phone, and including declining to give an email address and requesting not to be contacted or added to mailing lists. Much better. But even there, I would donate more if I were able to do so online without being spammed.

I'm in NYC and it's not dissimilar here. Constant friction between the police and anybody who wants any reform, in any position of gov't (judicial, legislative or executive) and completely over-the-top rhetoric about how the city is in shambles or is being destroyed, in a way that is incredibly divorced from reality.

I think these kinds of posters are probably new to the city and young, but also probably don't engage with culture much, and seem to spend a lot of time on social media.

Indeed. A proper fund should be a managed investment fund like the Canadian Pension Plan fund for example.

I don't think that provable watermarking is possible in practice. The method you mention is clever, but before it can work, you would need to know the probability of the every other source which could also be used to generate the output for the same purpose. If you can claim that the probability of that model is much higher on that model than in any other place, including humans, then watermark might give some stronger indications.

You would also need to define probability graph based on the output length. The longer the output, more certain you can be. What is the smallest amount of tokens that cannot be proved at all?

You would also need include humans. Can you define that for human? All LLMs should use the same system uniformally.

Otherwise, "watermaking" is doomed to be misused and not being reliable enough. False accusations will be take a place.
You'll be using an idiosyncratic definition the rest of the industry does not use, but you do you.

What I think is happening here is another instance of a pattern that recurs all the time in communities like this: a term of art was created, "memory safety", to address the concept of languages that don't have buffer overflows, integer overflows, use-after-frees, double frees, controllable uninitialized pointers, and all the other memory lifecycle vulnerabilities. People unfamiliar with the state of the art heard the term, liked it, and have axiomatically derived their own definition for it. They like their definition better, and are not open to the idea that the term exists to serve a purpose orthogonal to their arguments.

Another recent instance of the same phenomenon: "zero trust".

Just as happened in the Zero Trust Wars of 2022, people, hearing the industry definition and intent of the term, scramble to reconcile their axiomatic definition with the state of the art, convincing themselves they were right all along.

The problem they have in this particular argument is: where are the vulnerabilities? Go is not a niche language. It is a high-profile target and has been for over a decade. I saw Go security talks at OWASP Chicago(!) in 2012(!). People have all sorts of hypotheses about how a memory corruption vulnerability --- not "memory corruption", but a vulnerability stemming from it, implying valuable attacker control over the result of whatever bad thing happened --- might sneak into a Go program. Practitioners hear those axiomatic arguments, try to reconcile them with empirical reality, and: it just doesn't hold up.

Just for whatever it's worth to hear this, if at Black Hat 2025 someone does to Go what James Kettle does to web frameworks ever year and introduces a widespread repeatable pattern of memory exploitability in Go race conditions, about half of my message board psyche will be really irritated (I'll have been wrong!), but the other half of my message board psyche will be fucking thrilled (there will be so much to talk about!) and all of my vulnerability researcher psyche will be doing somersaults (there will be so many new targets to hit!). On net, I'm rooting for myself being wrong. But if I had to bet: we're not going to see that talk, not at BH 2025, or 2026, or 2027. I'm probably not wrong about this.
AFAIK in CA insurance rates must be set based on historical trends not anticipated future losses or reinsurance prices. It is easy to imagine why - insurance companies love to play financial games when they can. Historical data is lagging by nature and the reinsurance market predicts large fires will continue thus the insurers get hit from both sides.

Note that a lot of the property insurance regulation stems from a 1988 voter proposition. I suppose it has worked fine from then until now but the CA drought and greatly increased fire risk was an unexpected shock.

FWIW I would guess that we won't see extreme fire events for some time going forward - probably not until a "big drought" comes back to CA 30-40 years from now. The reinsurance market will settle down and mutual insurance companies will end up issuing refunds eventually.

tokio itself is not mature/stable enough to be in the standard library, IMO, let alone anything based on tokio.
What's the difference between atomic gardening and regular selective breeding performed under the giant ball emitting ionizing radiation that we have overhead half the day except the rate at which mutations occur? Plants with terrible nonviable mutations might be entirely sterile even if we like them, plants with viable but undesirable mutations we won't propagate into another generation. It seems akin to modern GMO efforts with a shotgun instead of a scalpel, but it did work.

Plants also handle mutations differently, creating burls and cavities and whatnot instead of it taking over the entire existing plant like cancer does in animals. You're unlikely to generate a Plants vs. Zombies scenario here.
