Electric air travel has the potential to be pretty revolutionary.

For regional carriers, there's a big potential maintenance cost savings that comes with electric power. See the orders for the Eviation Alice (https://www.eviation.com).

Our opposition as a country to investing in public rail infrastructure could lead to rail being leapfrogged by regional air travel using new technology. There are real topographical challenges that lead to choosing between a 7.5hr train trip vs a 45min flight.

From a logistics perspective, there are potential efficiencies to be gained from running more routes to smaller airports. Organ transplants sometimes fly on private jets to avoid risking organ viability due to a commercial flight being delayed. Those are some of the reasons for the investments in Beta (https://www.beta.team).

Also, air transport of people and cargo will continue to evolve and grow, so we may as well utilize a clean power source.

Amazon gets FAA approval for new drone as it starts tests in Arizona
Thank you for being the first person to make a non-conspiratorial argument here! I agree with your estimation: PyPI is not going to mandate this, but it’s possible that there will be social pressure from individual package consumers to adopt attestations.

This is an unfortunate double effect, and one that I’m aware of. That’s why the emphasis has been on enabling them by default for as many people as possible.

I also agree about the need for a local/self-hosted story. We’ve been thinking about how to enable similar attestations with email and domain identities, since PyPI does or could have the ability to verify both.
I am not sure I understand your point. Can you be more explicit ?

I wonder what would happen with a game that is mostly chess (or chess with truly minimal variations) but with all the names changed (pieces, moves, "check", etc, all changed). The algebraic notation is also replaced with something else so it cannot be pattern matched against the training data. Then you list the rules (which are mostly the same as chess).

None of these changes are explained to the LLM, so if it can tell it's still chess, it must deduce this on its own.

Would any LLM be able to play at a decent level?

> I think it's pretty hard to get a Python package into the top 360 list while not picking up any maintainers who could climb that learning curve pretty quickly.

I look forward to the repeat of Twitter debacle.

Anyone remember when people were riling up when he fired like 40% of the staff, sent out a email asking everyone to work crazy hour or quit?

In that moment there were still a lot of zealots, often (sadly) entangled with ideology, grindset worldview and machismo, that gladly joined Twitter under those condition to show that they weren't like those "snowflake losers at Twitter who did nothing and got fired" (a claim not completely off maybe but beside the point)

Even George Hotz joined, AS AN INTERN from being an CEO, left after about 5 weeks [1].

This time too, I'll bet there will still be enough Elon followers, clout chasers, people that want to "prove a point" politically, or to themselves, that will join.

Turns out those motivation rarely stand being mistreated, or toxic environment. Good enough of a motivation to be the whip master, but not to be the mule being whipped for a goal.

The other group I can think who stay under those conditions, are people with other patronage (lobbyist) with incentive to reform the "efficiency" in the government towards their financial goals.

1) Batteries very rarely need to actually be replaced. It is inevitable that transmissions and ICE engines will need very expensive large services and always need regulae maintenance that adds up over time.

2) ICE engines absolutely do not and will not last longer than batteries and electric motors. ICE engines ans transmissions just have way, way more moving parts and are being put through far more stress. If you want something that will last for half a million miles or more, buy an EV.

MOSFET failure? I googled MOSFET failure (well, Binged actually) and the very first response was an article on the use of MOSFETS in automotive applications and how extremely low the failure rate (a few per million) is. Certainly not high enough to warrant a recall, I wouldn't think.

It's much more likely to be a circuit design defect that was causing the MOSFET to fail and that's why they're doing a recall.

Yes, but in order to prevent people from bypassing the rules similar rules almost always apply to sales. It's a system made to ensure that income from work is taxed as work, whether you extract the money by dividends or through a sale.

For example, in Sweden we have a set of rules called 3:12 rules, which govern people who simultaneously own parts of a company and also work in it. In Sweden we have an exemption for large sums, for which ordinary capital taxation rules are applied, and the German law is very similar, only with a much higher exemption.
Even in multithreaded code, it's absolutely amazing to be able to pause a running program and look at the list of running threads and the values in scope and see where deadlocks might be sitting.

It's immediately obvious you're deadlocked, which is actually kind of tricking to suss out with log-style debugging.

Modern debuggers can do so much, being able to lay down conditions to only break when certain values are set, etc. etc. Some can even "rewind" programs. I'd say most people (including myself) are using only 25% of their debugger's capabilities.

Aside: One the reasons I despise working with async Rust code is the mess it makes of working with a debugger.
Er... the Onion is satire. Satire is not defamation because no one with any sense thinks it's true. InfoWars was not satire. Rather, it constantly lied.
And the problem with the GDPR. In a typical market situation the onus is on the buyer to first offer payment. The beggar on the street saying "Sir, can you spare some personal information?" is not how anyone likes to do business.

But that's where the GDPR has left things, thinking the problem is with the vendor, when in reality the problem is with the consumer spending beyond their means. Fair enough that the consumer needs protection from themselves, but, when it is a spending problem, why does that not come in the form of legal mandates over how one's wallet is used?

Of course, this would be improved in a much better way if, again, governments would actually tackle the real problem.

"Not possible" is a vast overstatement.

We've negotiated imperial territory disputes and hired mercenaries on contract with pantomine. You get there eventually if you're motivated & creative. It's about how efficient using the language for that purpose is. If it lacks a lot of specialized jargon, that jargon needs to be unpacked into symbology that does exist in the language both people are trying to use.

With any language learning, you revert to more basic forms in a sort of puzzle of "How do I say that?" if you don't have a deep exposure to the vocabulary. An elementary learner might use twenty words of clarification to be certain of communicating meaning where an expert uses six.

With ASL, reverting to fingerspelling to bridge gaps in either person's vocabulary or in the existing corpus of well-known ASL vocabulary is also common.

But fingerspelling and using long strings of basic words is painfully slow compared to higher bandwidth formats. If two people speak two languages, they can just pick the one that has the best mutual SNR, which allows for the most concise effective communication. Sometimes, that's going to be written text typed into a phone instead of ASL, and sometimes it's going to be the other way around.

And yet we've never seen any kind of signal like that.

Because they decided it wasn't worth the effort. I can point to any number of similar situations over the many years I've been working on things. Bullet-point features that aren't pulling their weight or are no longer attracting the hype often don't transition upgrades.

A common myth that people have is that these companies have so much money they can do everything, and then they're mystified by things like bugs in Apple or Microsoft projects that survive for years. But from any given codebase, the space of "things we could do next" is exponential. That defeats any amount of money. If they're considering porting their bespoke chess engine code up to the next model, which absolutely requires non-trivial testing and may require non-trivial work, even for the richest companies in the world it is still an opportunity cost and they may not choose to spend their time there.

I'm not saying this is the situation for sure; I'm saying that this explanation is sufficient that I'm not going "oh my gosh this situation just isn't possible". It's definitely completely possible and believable.

Public Trust in Scientists and Views on Their Role in Policymaking
One of the main advantages of actually allowing more arguments is forward compatibility:

You can, within a library, provide an additional argument to a callback without actually introducing a BC break for all users.

My favorite approach would be allowing too many args on dynamic calls (closures, and function calls with dynamic name, not method calls in general) and otherwise rejecting it.

Adding another IdP is not the hard part; establishing the set of claims that IdP should be presenting to interoperate with PyPI is. The technical/social distinction is specious in this context: the technical aspects are hard because the social aspects are hard, and vice versa.

If you work in a large organization that has the ability to maintain a PKI for OIDC, you should open an issue on PyPI discussing its possible inclusion as a supported provider. The docs[1] explain the process and requirements.

Presumably it would also have lost your record of the fact that they'd already asked to not get your email. So you'd have added them back to the spam list if they ever dealt with you again, so they'd have to unsubscribe again.

Spam has gotten so normalized that not only are people not even pretending to get opt-ins, but they don't see why they should have to pay any real attention to opt-outs.

Yes, you are a spammer, and so are most of the businesses on the Internet at this point.
The trick to getting a model to perform on something is to have it as a training data subset.

Do you need production metrics for local development, use Grafana as proxy
If you are developing a plugin or a new dashboard for an Grafana on your local instances, you may have experienced this. I have faced this problem a few times.
When I develop a Grafana plugin on my local development machine, I like to have representative telemetry data, like metrics and traces from production.

Connecting to production data sources directly may be impossible, but there are other ways to connect. You can use production Grafana as proxy.

If you know more use cases, let me know, I can add them.
Nintendo vs. Pomelo: Yuzu-Based iOS Switch Emu in Circumvention Dead End
I own an EV (Kia Niro 2024).

My take: there is a lot of "it depends" on this.

1. EVs are much easier to charge than gas because it is passive. The article gets it right: charging time is irrelevant when you're sleeping.

2. You can, in most cases, charge it at home. There are conditions: you'll need to have an available plug (some condos don't allow it) and you'd better have the car in a heated garage (it doesn't charge well when it's below -15 C / 5 F).

3. It is not expensive if you compare to gas cars in the same quality range and you factor in the long run economies. In North America, EVs are sold as luxury cars and should be compared with other gas luxury cars.

4. Under severe weather EVs are actually safer to drive than gas cars. Because they're more powerful, heavier and their weight is more evenly distributed they tend to be more stable than gas cars.

5. Truck drivers need 600 miles of uninterrupted drive repeatedly. Most normal people that attempt that will put their health/safety at risk if they need it frequently.

6. In the long run, they're better for the environment. Coupled with solar panels at home they're even a lot better.

I have more or less the same experience like you. Logging is a very resilient and adaptable technique – I can use it on my laptop or on remote HPC clusters, almost regardless of programming language (except maybe Haskell), it works fine on parallelized code, and so on, with very little configuration needed. It’s also important to me that it can be done “async”, since some of my larger codes can only be run on HPC clusters by putting a job in a process queue and waiting.

I’ve tried debuggers and see the appeal but I find it less useful than print debugging / logging.

I also rely heavily on unit tests when writing new code, so that also reduces the surface that I need to look for bugs based on the log. Moreover, most of my projects have 1-3 programmers and can largely “fit in my head” (<10,000 lines of code), so it’s probably different if you work at a FAANG company or something.
a lot of doctors were a bit “off” before med school starts.

Many of premed kids I knew in undergrad (or the high schoolers aspiring to premed) weren’t motivated by scientific pursuits or an altruistic desires - they just had to be the best. They needed to ace every test (and would argue incessantly with the teachers about it), they had to be in the hardest classes, etc. they became doctors because somebody told them it was hard and well respected.

I imagine that those people become doctors that are disconnected from their patients.
> Then you should be surprised that turbo-instruct actually plays well, right?

Do we know it's not special-casing chess and instead using a different engine (not an LLM) for playing?

To be clear, this would be an entirely appropriate approach to problem-solving in the real world, it just wouldn't be the LLM that's playing chess.
I don't know how to design a system to encourage such multidimensional parties. A two-party system seems like an inevitable consequence of the fact that there is exactly 1 winner in any election.

Even when a system nominally has more than two parties, there are usually two dominant parties. Other parties either align with one or the other, or are sidelined. People associated with losing parties never seem to be pleased just that their voices were heard.

The binary ops, sequencing and alternation are associative (monoidal).

The unary op, kleene star, blocks reassociation.

However, it is occasionally useful to use the associative-adjacent identity A;A* == A*;A (and more generally, A^n;A* == A*;A^n;A* == A*;A^n == ...)
