Triangulation can tell you where a point is between three sources but you need four to determine elevation, because it’s not the radius of a circle but the radius of a sphere.

But at sea there’s not much to obscure satellite signals so I believe resolving buoy position was a solved problem back when gps car navigation still sucked balls because tall buildings make everything harder. You need a lot more satellites to see three or four at the same moment.
You assume programming software with an existing well-defined and correct test suite is all these will be used for.
What you present as a grand narrative of self-discovery, truth, and compassion is, in many ways, an idealistic interpretation of human existence that oversimplifies complex realities. While I can appreciate the depth of your convictions, the perspective you offer assumes a universal applicability of your framework—one that may not align with everyone's experience, philosophy, or epistemological approach.

To begin, claiming that "truth is all that exists in the universe" reduces the richness of existence to a monolithic pursuit. Truth, as a concept, is subjective and shaped by individual, cultural, and temporal contexts. What you call "truth" may resonate with you, but it risks dismissing alternative ways of understanding the universe, such as those rooted in skepticism, pragmatism, or even nihilism. These frameworks are equally valid, as they acknowledge the limitations of human cognition and the constructed nature of meaning.

The notion that self-knowledge leads to universal truths about the cosmos assumes a direct correlation between introspection and external understanding. While self-awareness is undoubtedly valuable, it does not guarantee access to the deepest truths of the universe. Human cognition is bounded by our biology, sensory limitations, and the constraints of language and culture. We are not omniscient processors; we are flawed, interpretive beings navigating a sea of uncertainty.

Your emphasis on "universal compassion" as the sole antidote to evil is admirable but simplistic. Human motivations are multifaceted, and what you describe as "evil" often emerges from systemic, historical, and material conditions rather than individual moral failings. Compassion, while transformative, cannot alone dismantle entrenched power structures or resolve the complex web of human suffering. Moreover, framing those who do not embrace your "Path of Love" as ignorant or complicit in evil undermines the diversity of human experience and the validity of alternative ethical frameworks.

Finally, your analogy comparing spiritual transformation to testing fire conflates subjective spiritual experiences with objective physical phenomena. The former is deeply personal and cannot be universally measured or validated. Not everyone will, or should, approach spirituality or self-evolution in the way you propose. Placing the burden of moral alignment on individuals rather than acknowledging the role of collective and systemic forces risks perpetuating a kind of spiritual elitism.

In summary, while your call for self-awareness, compassion, and transformation is compelling, it oversimplifies human complexity and diversity. We are not all on the same path, nor should we be. True respect for the plurality of human experience requires acknowledging that there are many ways to navigate existence—each as valid as your own.

> The only part that wasn’t covered by the warrant was just fixing the device in a seemingly conventional way to get it working again.

By 'the only part that wasn't covered', I think you meant "The only part that wasn't within a warrant period" (as opposed to not falling the scope of one of the warrants).

Assuming that, this is what I think you are considering.

Are the constitutional safeguards of these warrants reasonably satisfied here?

Instead, I believe the following is the matter for concern here.

By declaring a repair

[a repair which occurred to enable and assist a search for incriminating evidence]

to not be a search (to not be an action that merits 4th amendment protections)

a court establishes that LEO are now free to forcefully perform certain evidence gathering actions on private devices without a warrant - as long as those actions can be construed as a 'repair'.
The western US was warned of tsunamis after the 2011 earthquake in Japan.

They also released a warning before the 2009 tsunami in American Samoa but I'm not sure how effective it was due to the short timeframe and speed of disseminating the info
It is wild how far Oracle has fallen. All the way down to bureaucratic patent trolls. Sad.
Looking at https://tsunami.gov/, it seems like they do have a 4 tier system, but they jumped straight to the highest tier in this case?
Thanks for pointing this out. It's an absolute myth that C++ move semantics are due to backwards compatibility. The original paper on move semantics dating back 2002 explicitly mentions destructive move semantics by name:

https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2002/n13...

It does bring up an issue involving how to handle destructive moves in a class hierarchy, and while that's an issue, it's a local issue that would need careful consideration only in a few corner cases as opposed to the move semantics we have today which sprinkle the potential for misuse all over the codebase.
I think it’s very clear and spelled out?
We should have cut things off back when we had the chance and never let the stocking frame do this to us.
Growth is only valuable in the long-term, and in a long-term analysis PPP (which I generally find very hard to reason about) is going to wash out, just as the fraction of the economy measured by GDP washes out. The non-linear function dominates.

Year-to-year, the difference between 2.5% and 5% doesn't matter, which is how people convince themselves to downplay growth. But they are two radically different worlds for your grandkids.
> that sounds like (reckless) criminal negligence

Quite possibly.
Gary Numan and the PolyMoog. It was his core sound.
They should really name these like storms/tornados: "warning" means there is actually a tsunami, "watch" means there might be a tsunami. The map showed the warning extending to >1000ft elevation. That is a little over the top.

The system is training me to ignore it already. I’m in SF and we had a flash flood emergency alert. I never heard of or saw any floods. I could believe a street or two might have had a few inches of water at most. But honestly I’d bet against even that.

And then there’s this tsunami alert today.

I don't think making an example out of those executives are going to do anything in particular. Stripping them out of their position and banning them from holding executive positions will. Forcing Boeing to reorganize their structural incentive will. Forcing shareholders to take a haircut means that they will likely hold the board more accountable will.

Like, nobody really think about risking people's lives for slightly more profit. It's more like they think about "cutting cost to get promotion and make more money. What risk? There's no risk.".

It's not like Boeing are particularly competent. Their projects experienced cost overrun for example. This whole idea of outsourcing to individual contractors turned out to make development of aircraft even more expensive. Their space division is currently blowing another hole in their budget. Their Starliner program is a joke and has no future beyond the ISS.

Some people may need to go to jail because it's more than just gross incompetence, fair enough. I am just skeptical of long lengthy sentences.

I don't know, there's been a lot of stuff since 2014.

In client-side React we've seen stuff like react-query, mobx, etc which weren't there a decade ago. Back in 2014 everyone was still using redux (ugh).

The "Pacific Tsunami Warning Center" is in Hawaii, which is why it is mentioned at the start of the message. Did you by chance just misread this? See the page below:

https://www.tsunami.gov/?page=history
Still no good component or UI libraries for HTMX.
It's unfortunately hard to tell what regions that message is for, or whether it contradicts the other one saying the warning is still in effect: https://www.tsunami.gov/events/PAAQ/2024/12/05/so1aq0/2/WEAK....

It looks like https://tsunami.gov/?p=PHEB/2024/12/05/24340001/2/WEPA40 is the 11:29 PST message saying there is no tsunami warning for "Non-US/Canada Pacific".

And it looks like https://tsunami.gov/?p=PAAQ/2024/12/05/so1aq0/2/WEAK51 is the 11:25 PST message saying there is still a tsunami warning for "AK/BC/US West Coast".

But it's not easy to tell what one's looking at if one doesn't already understand the system, and conditions of "extreme danger" (which is what my phone told me about half an hour ago) are not a good moment to figure these out.

Edit: here we go: https://tsunami.gov/?p=PAAQ/2024/12/05/so1aq0/3/WEAK51 now says "No Tsunami Warning, Advisory, Watch, or Threat" for "AK/BC/US West Coast" as of 11:55 PST.

I use LLMs for many projects and 4o is the sweet spot for me.

This is just not true. If your use case can be solved with 4o-mini (I know, not all do) OpenAI is the one which is an order of magnitude cheaper.
Physical modeling is gaining steam these days. A good example is the Osmose, which combines a physical modeling sound engine with a keyboard that not only has polyphonic aftertouch, but lets you wiggle the keys sideways to individually shift their pitches. I have one, and it's easy to sound like you're playing an expressive acoustic instrument; perhaps one that exists in the real world, perhaps not. It's worlds away from any FM I've heard, and more expressive than samples.

They've gotten a lot of professional musicians to rave about it so I'm not convinced experimentation is all that dead.

Osmose isn't the only PM around either. Pianoteq, one of the most popular piano plugins, is pure physical modeling and sounds fantastic (though I wouldn't call this "experimental"). Some of the workstation keyboards use PM too.

Yes. The people who can use these tools to dramatically increase their capabilities and output without a significant drop in quality were already great engineers for which there was more demand than supply. That isn't going to change soon.

> You could have applied this to your original comment IMO

You made a point about anecdotal evidence and introduced a new thought in your original comment. I responded with two lines of thought.

1. Questioning the value of anecdotal evidence doesn't work well when there is actual data on the subject of said evidence. And the statistics display a rise during the last years.

2. Questioning the value of anecdotal evidence by using worse anecdotal evidence is not a good strategy.

Thar was nothing against you (I don't know you, I just enjoy discussing truthfully). This was a disagreement on the topic of homelessness and your apparent questioning of it. So as a truthful response you could've either clarified your position and told me how I am wrong or admitted you got it wrong yourself. But you did neither of those things.

As you correctly recognized, my second comment ignored the child-like sentiment on display as well as I could and instead adressed that you didn't talk about either of the ideas at hand — the debate equivalent of sticking your fingers into your ears and going "La-La-La". What you failed to recognize is that this second comment wasn't really written for you, but for the bystanders.

The waste of time aspect is entirely on you, as you could have told me how I am wrong and give us your take on US homelessness statistics or explained how you not knowing a single homeless person is actually better evidence than the other person observing more over the past years, or whatnot. Or you could have simply said: "My bad, I took a wrong turn there, but I still believe homelessness didn't rise because [SOURCE]".

Instead you decided to make this meta and I explained why that kind of meta doesn't add value here, nothing more. You took us here.

Also: If I were you, I would probably not have seen this as a waste of time, every debate exchange that puts you into a bad spot is a valuable lesson. But that would require to admit to yourself why you went meta.
SF topography means some places like the Mission and Dogpatch can have severe floods and the rest be fine.

I think OP is describing a different feature. It's not a carrier feature like Amber alerts but an OS feature. Google documents this feature here: https://crisisresponse.google/android-alerts/ I'm fairly certain this is due to some Android-specific code inside GMSCore. It has nothing to do with carriers.

On iOS you have no such thing and you either rely on the carrier alert (there won't always be one) or install an earthquake alert app such as MyShake.
Yeah, I totally get it...

When you let things flow instead of sticking to a rigid plan, you end up finding better ideas. It’s like the pressure’s off, and the real work happens naturally. That freedom makes everything more productive ;)

It is also unclear to me how someone is supposed to differentiate a real emergency from an "Extreme threat/danger" and what authority they should look to, besides their common sense.

I guess people can go on twitter and read some random posts.

I agree about the OpenAI moat. They did just get 5 Googlers to switch teams. Hard to know how key those employees were to Google or will be to OpenAI.

It varies, a lot, and depends upon a lot of things. I'm not current on all the current details, but many moons ago was involved in push notification development.

* Notification path. IoS at the time was pretty protective of the user's battery, and had specific services you had to use. I imagine there's special treatment now for emergency communications.

* Phone state. How deeply asleep is it? Are there other background apps frequently contacting the mothership? Multiple apps can get their requests batched together, so as to minimize phone wake-ups. You can also benefit from greedy apps--VoIP apps, for example, might be allowed/figured out a hack to allow frequent check-ins, and the other apps might see a latency benefit.

* Garbage carriers. Hopefully emergency alerts have a separate path, but I've noticed my provider (who shall remain nameless but is a three-letter acronym with an ampersand in the middle) sometimes delays SMS messages by tens of minutes. (TBF, in my case there might also be a phone problem [Android], but since nameless provider forced it on me when they went 4G-only they're still getting the blame.)

In your case, my money would be on the carrier. Pushing a notification to all phones in an area can be taxing, and cheaping out on infrastructure is very much a thing.

For docs, your best bet would be to go to the developer sites and pull up the "thou shalt..." rules, particularly regarding network activity, push notification, and permitted background activities. And yeah, Apple was much more dictatorial, for good reasons.
>no reason whatsoever why it couldn’t hit $1M, $1B, or go back to $1

Not entirely true. The value is driven by number of people invested x average amount they have invested. Most of the historic increase has been as the number of people involved increased. Currently that's probably in the 100 - 200 million people range. It could 10x from here to $1M per bitcoin but is unlikely to go to $1B or $1.
We can't destroy ignorance and violence but we don't just shrug and let the ignorant and violent run amok.
This argument only works in isolation, and only for a subset of people. “Cost of a cup of coffee per day” makes it sound horrifically overpriced to me, given how much more expensive a coffee shop is than brewing at home.

>The meme that LLMs just generate statistically plausible text is wrong and has been from the start

Did you read that paper? It doesn't support discarding this "meme" at all. More importantly, I don't think it adequately supports that LLMs "know facts"

FFS, the actual paper is about training models on the LLM state to predict whether it's actual output is correct. The interesting finding to them is that their models predict about a 75% chance of being correct even before the LLM starts generating text, that the conversation part of the answer has a low predicted chance of being correct, and that the "exact answer", a term they've created, is usually where the chance the LLM is correct (according to their trained model) peaks.

What they have demonstrated is that you can build a model that looks at in memory LLM state and have a 75% chance of guessing whether the LLM will produce the correct answer based on how the model reacts to the prompt. Even taking as a given (which you shouldn't in a science paper) that there's no trickery going on in the Probe models, accidental or otherwise, this is perfectly congruent with the statement that LLMs only "generate statistically probable text in the context of their training corpus and the prompt"

Notably, why don't they demonstrate that you can predict whether a trained but completely unprompted model will "know" the answer? Why does the LLM have to process the conversation before you can >90% chance predict whether it will produce the answer? If the LLM stores facts in it's weights, you should be able to demonstrate that completely at rest.

IMO, what they've actually done is produce "Probe models" that can 75% of the time correctly predict whether an LLM will produce a certain token or set of tokens in it's generation. That is coherent with an LLM model being, broadly speaking, a model of how tokens relate to each other from a point of view of language. The main quibble in these discussions is that doesn't constitute "knowing" IMO. LLMs are a model of language, not reality. That's why they are good at producing accurate language, and bad at producing accurate reality. That most facts are expressed in language doesn't mean language IS facts.

A question: Why don't LLMs produce garbage grammar when they "hallucinate"?
They clearly hacked the device.

In fact, maybe they "repaired" it by installing an older, hackable firmware.
That's a business case use.

On an individual level for solo devs in a developing nation USD200 a month is an enormous amount of money.

For someone in a developed nation, this is just over a coffee a day.
It's not that his country was short on resources. But it seems likely that he simply calculated that the cost of the invasion would be more than offset by the gain in resources.

No doubt the manpower (and financial) costs have been much higher than expected. But it seems that his country's tolerance thresholds on these dimensions have turned out to be significantly higher than he was expecting at the outset, also.

But now when the economy is dominated by tech I'm not sure it pays.

Right - for modern empires, which dominate primarily through their economic, technological and cultural prowess (and which have grown tired of slaughtering their own peoples in mass numbers for speculative geopolitical gain), it doesn't make sense at all.

But Putin knows his empire can't compete on any of those fronts. And since he has comparatively few restrictions on the number of his people's lives he can throw down the drain for the sake of his various projects - we can see how the 19th century model starts to seem all the more appealing to him.
LLMs have become indispensable for many attorneys. I know many other professionals that have been able to offload dozens of hours of work per month to ChatGPT and Claude.
First earthquake for the new electric trains probably, I can see why they would be cautious.
Why do companies hire junior devs? You still want a senior to review the PRs before they merge into the product right? But the net benefit is still there.
Yeah, to be fair, there exist employees (some of whom are managers) who could not be replaced and their absence would improve productivity. So the bar for “can this replace any employees at all?” is potentially so low that, technically, cat’ing from /dev/null can clear it, if you must have a computerized solution.

Companies won’t be able to figure those cases out, though, because if they could they’d already have gotten rid of those folks and replaced them with nothing.
Sounds like a layer of management that doesn't understand the works below, or the vision above, and has to maintain value theater.
