The working group was closed because the core specification is published as a finished RFC:

https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9635.html

The group's other major work, the GNAP RS specification, has passed IESG final review and is in the queue with the RFC editor. This means that it's finished except for some final text edits and will be a final RFC soon too:

https://www.rfc-editor.org/current_queue.php#draft-ietf-gnap...

The group closed because it didn't have any more work to do.

As for adoption, we've seen it implemented in a handful of spaces around the internet, most of them in places where there are core problems with the OAuth model or GNAP offers cleaner support for some key feature like ephemeral clients or key management.
The implicit assumption that tends to come across from folks that complain about “wokeness” with a straight face (eg people mad about video game character design) is that white supremacy, xenophobia, bullying etc. happen at a rate in society such that these phenomenon should be considered so acceptable that there is no rightful place to even use the “woke” words other than very occasional whispers behind closed doors.

Sometimes people that share this view will start with their personal opinions on these topics and then with backwards to try and create a mathematical or scientific justification. The result is often a substack full of charts that say stuff like “The y axis (wokeness) exploded under Obama” and/or quotes from Arthur Jensen.

Relevant: The codebase I worked on was to huge and too uncovered by tests to modify automatically. The pain point was jest tests, due to barrel files. I ended up making this plugin that is meant to do codemods only durring jest tests, skips all re-exports and thus barrel files. Performance of tests have gone 2x

Having legacy codebases in mind, I built in utilities to skip modifying code that breaks when modified

Sadly, this is true. Even in big companies there are managers who don’t recognize an internal sales culture as a problem.

This game, as played at high levels, is mostly about selling work, not doing it. By the time the results of good or bad “doing” draw notice, the adept salespeople and managers have already been promoted and it’s no longer their problem.
Yeah I just meant the markup is on the resale of the used items.

If the bankrupt startup had an office chair that they bought new for $1,000, they got paid maybe $100 for it in the liquidation, now the liquidator asks what? At least $200. That's 100% gross profit. Maybe $500? More?

Seems there would be room to negotate deals especially if you're buying a whole office-load of furniture.
The fact that most stats is taught by getting students to just memorize random ideas rather than building up a holistic and intuitive view really is a travesty.

We don't need first principals thinking for every thing. Granted, this comment is a bit vague, so I don't know how exactly you were taught or which type of class we're talking about, but generally, you can accept some axioms in applied mathematics classes. If we're talking the bare minimum classes like in the article (for apparently a business degree), this is likely a general applied prob/stat. Things tend to get more in depth with more advanced pure mathematics courses.
> if you distribute something containing a trademark and the trade mark policies don't allow distribution it is pretty much automatically a gray area of trade mark infringement

The whole world is shades of gray, but this is more like a wispy cirrus cloud than a dark cumulonimbus. If it's clear that there's no intent to cause confusion (and I suspect that if you're not creating releases in that repo that would be a pretty easy case) then there's not really much of a trademark infringement case to be made.

In the absence of such a trademark policy you'd have the exact same concerns. Them trying to go after people who fork on github would be a waste of time for everyone concerned: there would be no damages unless they went through the trouble of finding someone who had somehow actually been confused, and a C&D would accomplish nothing positive for the Rust Foundation anyway.

Not only short lifespan (some live four years), but all species die after laying eggs or after the eggs hatch so there can only be genetic transfer of information like the social insects, ants and termites. There would need to be some evolutionary leap to have them survive longer than required now or extraordinary genetic engineering ala Children of Time.

Sorry, I'm strictly focusing on my bugaboo about the Linux crowd on here: that they refuse to acknowledge that installing Linux is sine qua non.

I do not know one way or the other how easy it is to daily drive Linux.
I thought this was the case but actually couldn’t find any documentation on it. The best I could find was that the vm is aware it is in a container and will correctly set the heap %’s based on the containers memory. It still looked like it was defaulting to 25%.

I dont think that is a fair criticism of solutions in search of a problem. I would argue that the vast majority of technology and innovation falls into this category.

The wheel and combustion engine weren't invented as a bespoke solutions for automobiles and trains. The internet wasn't invented as a platform for e-commerce.

History is full of examples of technology leading the application, with curious or enterprising individuals adapting the technology to a productive use.

It hasn't been weighed on, but as someone with no legal credentials, it wouldn't surprise me if the ultimate answer on models being copyrightable is "No."

Ultimately, the working parts of a given model are completely unknowable to even the smartest humans once you get to doing anything past bare basics. We know the shape of the model, the number of layers, and what inputs/outputs correlate to, but not really anything else. It's the product of a machine trying things randomly until something works, then the best model produced is selected for production.

Not altogether different on a high level perspective from generating an image, or piece of text using a model. You're introducing a random factor, number of steps, and the machine uses this unknowable model to produce something a person can understand.

I do think the law should update and grant some protections to people who produce models, because losing all protection would mean the death of open model releases, and then we'd be even more seriously staring down the barrel of corpos controlling the entirety of the technology moreso than we are now. At least open models provide some semblance of control for end users.

When I did YC back in 2011 their Mountain View office was just down the street from Desk Depot, who were in the same line of business as this article.

We bought a desk and two chairs from there and it was fascinating. The warehouse was basically a condensed history of Silicon Valley office trends - we asked about Aeron chairs and the chap showed us his collection ordered by year.

He'd say things like "that corner's Yahoo!, over there is Sun Microsystems". He also had an excellent cat.

It looks like Desk Depot is still in business today: https://deskdepot.net/
[I'm attempting to ask this question in an apolitical way].

The consensus amongst economists appears to be that tariffs will have net negative impacts on our economy. Can someone explain the support amongst financially sophisticated people (e.g. Marc Andreessen) for a candidate whose economic policies rely heavily on tariffs? Is it just that they believe the benefits of Trump's other policies (e.g. deregulation of crypto) will outweigh the negative impacts of tariffs?
> Toys "R" Us ... only to find themselves losing out to stores with even bigger inventories

That left out the other big factor, 'The company was further hampered by a significant debt load, the result of a leveraged buyout organized by private equity firms, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, Bain Capital and real estate firm Vornado.' (quoting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toys_%22R%22_Us).

> But that has left us with an ever-increasing number of options.

Yet none of the choices include things like "how strong are labor rights throughout the supply chain?", "is the company involved in union busting?", "how much are the claims of sustainable harvesting really just greenswashing?", and "how durable is this product?"

As people are rightly pointing out, this is only ever going to be a crude heuristic since it has no idea of the context. But in that spirit, I suggest including the distance between the notes as a factor.

this article is a bit tough... feels like a marketing piece for some Google report.

On the one hand, I went to college for many years and spent so much time getting certifications to build my resume.

Then when I finally became a sysadmin in a mid/large company, for me to update a linux server I had to ask permission from the cloud group to do so, which took 8 weeks and required 3 rounds of project planning, time estimation, writing dozens of emails and ultimately an escalation over the cloud teams head to the division CIO to ultimately coerce them to provision a new linux server rather than give me appropriate sudo permissions on one I was already "supposed" to manage.

Ultimately I ended up getting the job done.

And then, other than a couple of intense temporary redeployments as a sharepoint frontend developer, which sucked, 90% of my job was to promptly respond to emails, attend 2-5 30 minute to 1 hour meetings a week where I was asked and said very little, and other than that about 20 minutes of work a day.

Playing with my home lab was more intellectually challenging and tech related than my actual tech job, and I probably spent more actual time doing that than actual time doing actual work in my real job.

I think the only people who can explain their rationale would be those people you’re talking about. We can wildly speculate (low regulation, pro business, etc), but domain experts broadly agree the tariffs in question would be detrimental to the US economy. I suppose we’ll have data from a natural experiment shortly. Will the data matter? Probably not.
This problem is calling out for a real world test set to evaluate the method. I would be surprised if such a dataset doesn’t already exist (eg in the MIR, music information retrieval, community)

Yeah, but this is far from putting them "in a cage". Watching the documentary on the lead of this, Stewart Brand, it is clear his goal is to build the technology to prevent species extinction and to re-introduce animals that have already been extinct. The parts about climate change are a justification for pursuing woolly mammoths specifically.

The Brexit "people have had enough of experts" stuff was long before covid; the vote, and pretty much the peak of Brexit support, was in 2016. By covid, with Brexit looming large, and some impact echoing back in time from Brexit itself (by 2020, supply problems relating to the Brexit that hadn't happened yet were just starting to appear, as companies had difficulty with long-term contracts due to uncertainty), there was some indication that people were actually falling back in love with experts a bit, but by then it was far too late, of course.

I think the extremity of the resentment over covid found in the US is actually a bit of an outlier; views on the response are often more mixed elsewhere.
From https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/review-of-politics/a...:

According to Hegel, universal history is the realization of the Idea of Reason in a succession of National Spirits. These are manifested in the deeds of heroes, or world-historical individuals, such as Alexander the Great, Caesar, and Napoleon. However, the Idea of Reason does not work itself out in history in a manner which would seem reasonable on the surface. It is not actualized in this or that of its stages as a consequence of men consciously adopting it as their ideal and striving to translate it into reality through their mode of life and conduct. It is not, as it were, through the imitation of Reason that Reason is realized in history. How, then, does this take place?

Hegel's answer to this question is contained in his doctrine of the Cunning of Reason. Briefly, he holds that history fulfills its ulterior rational designs in an indirect and sly manner. It does so by calling into play the irrational element in human nature, the passions. So Hegel writes: “Two elements, therefore, enter into our investigation: first, the Idea, secondly, the complex of human passions; the one the warp, the other the woof of the vast tapestry of world history.” By “passion” he means those all-consuming emotions of the individual person which are self-regarding in nature. In discussing the question, he writes: “I mean here nothing more than human activity resulting from private interest, from special or, if you will, self-seeking designs—with this qualification: that the whole energy of will and character is devoted to the attainment of one aim and that other interests or possible aims, indeed everything else, is sacrificed to this aim.”

In concrete terms, woolly mammoths don't seem likely to starve endangered Siberian animals, and if they turned out to be an ecological problem (for example, they might eat important plants to an excessive degree) they would be fairly easy to capture, move and confine.

In abstract terms, there is only a small difference of degree between capturing, reproducing and dispersing rare animals to increase a small population (for example, small raptors in cities as a defense against obnoxious birds); reestablishing a recently extinct population with imports from a place where an animal isn't extinct yet (for example wolves and bears in various places in central Europe); reestablishing a less recently extinct population with artificial marvels of genetic engineering (mammoths, aurochs); introducing completely foreign animals (for example rabbits in Australia, a major bad idea from a conservation point of view); introducing artificial animals that never had a population anywhere (hopefully all fiction, but for example photosynthesis would be impactful).

There is no AGI. No one is creating Minds from Iain M Banks books. It's the world's best autocomplete. It's if you look at the Earth once from space, and "recreate" it by making a giant disc that looks like that view of the Earth. Nothing behind it is like intelligence as we would think of it.

AI is going to do some amazing things still. AGI is just an unbelievably high bar.

> assuming the resulting shell script is as inscrutably as binary executable

It's quite the opposite, pnut generates shell code that's close to the original C code to make it easy to audit the code. A useful way to see pnut is as a tool that rewrites C code to POSIX shell, without significantly changing the structure.

This means that even if GCC is required for the initial compilation of pnut (GCC compiles pnut, then pnut compiles itself and we get the pnut-sh.sh script), the script can be "sanitized" from trusting trust attacks by simply comparing the script to the C code and making sure GCC hasn't introduced any malicious code.
