It sounds depressing if you take it as just a murder. But it is much more than that: it is one possible step in violent protest against the corporate control and subjugation of thousands of human lives through their medical care. Undeniably, corporations have emerged as the dominant threat to communities and people by becoming experts and exploitation due to their power and assymetry of information.
Except the originally stated option (in the comment and in the article title) is completely false. He didn’t say AI was more _important_ but that it was more _profound_. There is a difference and words have meaning.

Although rockets could take you between closely spaced planets, the delta V to escape the system would be much greater than in our solar system, by an order of magnitude. The habitable planet would be much deeper in the star's gravity well than we are in our Sun's.

Travel times between inner planets would be very short, I admit.
TikTok has their own understanding of democracy, defending certain ideas (e.g. Russia in Romania), but at the same time, Twitter also has a certain view (like Donald Trump).

Nah, people know those "common" pieces of wisdom. What people bringing them up often miss is, they're also unachievable for most people. Life isn't a MMORPG where you can check out of progression at any moment and spend some time grinding to build up savings. Life has a clock to it that doesn't stop, and most can't afford falling behind it much.

There is a mantra in ML that has been around for a while. It's that when training on synthetic data, your learned model is only as good as your generator model.
This killing can signify that people are starting to be more willing to change the system through tactical violence. And:

(a) If more CEOs are targeted, it will modify their behaviour, and make them more likely to tone down their ruthlessness.

(b) There is already a lot of news coverage and attention on the horrific nature of U.S. healthcare. If some policies change more rapidly, then I think some might consider this killing an effective action in saving hundreds of lives.
>In France, they have a socialo-communist monopoly, no choice, only one choice, and you have to be happy with it, no matter what.

It sounds very offending to my anarcho capitalistic world view, where poor people should suffer more than I do, but does it actually produce more suffering than US or less?
dspillett was exactly right: ps, e.g., truncated its output at $COLUMNS and there was no horizontal scroll.

As suggested above, it did this even when called from a script.

The fix was easy, set COLUMNS ridiculously large if DEC Unix, but it took days of WTF apparent UB before I realized how simple was what was happening. It just seemed haphazard: I'd reposition and resize a window so I could run the script in one while manually running the commands in another, get inconsistent results, rinse, repeat...

...and eventually realize the common element in each test was me, and the variations I was introducing were window size.

I cursed their engineers for trying to be "helpful" and keep things "pretty".

> The only exception that we know of is our own Solar System. Where Jupiter acts like a vacuum cleaner to reduce material that might hit Earth. We knkw of no other system with both Earth-like planets and gas giants.

Isn't this a current limitation of our exoplanetary detection capabilities rather than something we know about other star systems in general? IIRC exoplanets are most easily discovered by the effect they have on their parent star's brightness when transiting it and/or due to causing the parent star to "wobble". Both those methods would tend to favor finding close and massive planets without necessarily ruling out smaller/more distant ones.

Have exoplanet detection methods improved since I last read about them?
This is not much different from what CA did in many countries, not just the US. TikTok is the most popular platform today, so it makes sense that these tactics would migrate to it. Besides, CA was just one company of an entire industry doing these operations, which includes state-level actors. This industry is very much alive and prospering today.

> If that's what people fall for, they are no more than apes with smartphones.

You claim not to be above everyone else, but then say this. We're all susceptible to psychological manipulation, and we know that propaganda is very effective. Just because you haven't been manipulated in this specific way, doesn't mean you aren't in other ways, whether you realize it or not.
In a democracy, the people are allowed to elect a criminal into office.

Not allowing that simply allows one administration to weaponize justice to keep their opponents out of office.

This adherence to 'norms' that many democratic states insist on today is the reason why so many of them end up falling to dictatorships and America just keeps chugging along.

> The point with the fraud is to make it clear the guy character, what character or personality trait someone has if the declares ZERO money spent but in fact he spent a lot ? Would such a person accept help from his friends in Kremlin? Would he screw Romanians over ?

Once again, I'll reiterate my point that you seem to be confused as to what democracy is. You're allowed to be a shitty person and to be elected if that's what your country's people want. The time to make these arguments was before the election. And the people to make them to was your fellow countrymen, not random foreigners online. If there was some confusion regarding that, maybe you'll have better luck next time.
Typical printers will put layers bottom to top. That means for sideways overhangs, you need support. This one can put layers in any direction. That means you can print sideways without needing support.

That said, one could also use an IDEX printer to print the target material and a water-soluble support material at the same time. That way, overhangs are no problem again because you have support material under them.

This is accompanied by surprised reactions when maintained and polished old implementations come across as fast. I'm thinking of you, Common Lisp.

I think there's also the effect that old, polished software can tend to become increasingly optimized.
Not an answer to your question but here's a "fun" thing I used to do... If you want to run a program from the CLI, which blocks you terminal (say an xterm), you can use that terminal as a temporary paste buffer. But with a trick.

Imagine you want to run, say, Firefox like that (say because you'd like to see stdin/stderr output of what's going on without having to find to which log file it's outputting stuff: it's really just a silly example):

xterm> firefox
<-- the xterm is now "stuck here" (until Firefox exists)

if you now write, into that "blocked" xterm, the things you write shall execute when you exit/kill Firefox:

Hello, world!

But one thing I used to do all the time and still occasionally do, first do this:

xterm> firefox
<-- the xterm is now "stuck" here (until Firefox exits)
cat > /dev/null

You can now use that xterm as a temp paste buffer.

So, yup, a good old cat > /dev/null works wonder.

The problem is often that there is no really good option. And in places like Switzerland, there is often much more regulation to prevent all options from becoming bad. For example, the E.U. has many consumer rights laws that the U.S. does not have.

The problem is unregulated capitalism. At a large scale, over time, people will find ways to take advantage of the system and exploit the people due to their greedy nature. And insurance is an industry that naturally tends to that end without regulation.

In no place does unregulated capitalism give good results at scale.

You know how you feel when you walk into a pron theater? That is how you should feel when you walk into an airport.
I've been using the Go full time since about 2013 and it's a massive issue, and has woken me and my teammates up at night. Specially, when junior engineers are involved. Why hope to catch these issues with code review if the type system/compiler can do it for you instead?

Some of the most common areas that infest the code with nullable pointer types are when you have to deal with de-serializing data a lot. This is due to lack of a common built-in Optional type (I know you can define one easily, but you can't force libraries that you rely on to use that type).

The best we have now is https://github.com/uber-go/nilaway and it's improving with time. It does static analysis, but it has a very difficult job to do, so right now it's super slow to run, and is prone to having false-positives.
A similar but underreported possibility here is gastric ulcers which correlate extremely well with cortisol/stress.

You can attempt to fix it by taking NAC which is an amino acid with no side effects for $20 a month or so. Usually you don’t need to take it continuously, just in regressions.

It is frequently misdiagnosed as the other more serious/intractable things you’ve mentioned.
I asked this one and it's not a choice many people get to make, it's an insurer provided through your employer. If you want to choose an alternative you wont be getting group rates and the emplyer contribution so you'll be paying much more (such that it is not a viable option for most people). They exist not because they are good, but because they're a cheaper option that satisfies some legal checkboxes.
I start to get it, reminds me of airline (delayed/late flight) regulations. E.U. is so much in advance in that (maybe sometimes too much, like the water bottles).

I don't really agree. It's fine to celebrate it and to think that he deserved it.
If that's the case, the savings are not 'spent' but are simply invested in the house. They should be able to sell the house for the net value (market value minus mortgage outstanding) which should be roughly equal to the down payment.
There just may not be as much of a need for as many humans in the future as robots are built instead.

So maybe instead of 8 billion humans, we will have 1 billion humans and 99 billion robots. Then the humans can all be the 1%. Or maybe there won’t be any humans, and the robots can decide how many robots there should be.
That is not the point of the argument. But fine, I edited the original post to use “profound” so we can end this nitpick. Yes, words have meanings and we should absolutely consider those differences when they’re the central thesis. But this wasn’t it, it was merely the first buffoon with a similar argument I could think of. He served as an example of a trend, not as the entire point. It makes zero difference if he said “profound” or “important”, they are equally stupid in this context.
People imagining that “adding the missing features” is what Go needs should be paddled.
I was also intrigued, so I searched and on wikipedia ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Bank_Account_Num... ), in the section "Validating the IBAN" it is written :

Interpret the string as a decimal integer and compute the remainder of that number on division by 97
If the remainder is 1, the check digit test is passed and the IBAN might be valid
A $10,000 reward is too small. Especially if it depends on a conviction.
And guns.

I mean - this is the country that literally has a whole Amendment in their Constitution dedicated to the right of the people to shoot other people, and which defines that capacity for popular violence as a necessity for a free state. The archetype of the hero patriot "watering the tree of liberty with the blood of tyrants" goes all the way back to the guy who made that quote.

And I would bet money (if I had it) that a significant number of people expressing outrage over this were defending Kyle Rittenhouse and that guy who shot climate protestors in Panama, or making excuses for the killings of Jordan Neely and George Floyd, or gleefully hoping Trump would send troops in to shoot BLM protestors in the streets.

Because the "problem" here isn't the normalization of gun violence or the lionization of such violence as heroism - that's been normal for centuries, it's an intentional design feature of the American system. The "problem" here is that gun violence was being used on the wrong kind of people, and creating the wrong kind of hero.

Brian Potter Reading List 12/07/24
My friend and I have a game where we link each other a wildly successful submission title on reddit (usually political) and then screenshot the part of the article (usually not linked on reddit) that reveals the title as phony.

Thousands of comments reacting to a headline or screenshot of a tweet that purports to summarize a headline without actually reading TFA.
Except when the browser won't start, and then loses all your previous session, because your internet is out when you start it and so it can't do whatever 'necessary' telemetry and verification it needs.

Yes, just happened to me. Not happy about losing my session. Even less happy about the dependency and what might be being telemetered or 'verified'.
Your argument is upside down. If people are insisting LLMs aren’t magic, it’s only because too many people argue that they are. Just like you’re frustrated at the repeated con arguments, other people are frustrated at the repeated pro arguments.
Don't forget panics on sending to closed channels.

> I suppose everyone assumes that being high profile and earning a multi-million dollar salary involves such risks naturally so it's not shocking when it happens. Why didn't he have security? In NYC?

Your point about income inequality is important but NYC is one of the safest cities in the country:

https://engineering.nyu.edu/news/nyc-ranks-safest-among-big-...

It gets covered a lot because it’s a massive media hub and also a tempting political target for Republicans but the average person in NYC is more likely to need to worry about getting hit by a car, especially if they’re not engaging in high-risk activities. Muggers target drunk people leaving clubs at 3am in dodgy parts of town. They’re not gunning tourists down in Manhattan because that guarantees a police response.

Brian Thompson wasn’t born rich - according to Wikipedia his father worked at a grain elevator - and he probably retained that middle class sensibility of not feeling targeted even as he got wealthy. People don’t want to think of themselves as targets, and they don’t want to give up the privacy and independence which having a security detail involves. If he wasn’t involved with one of the most hated companies in the country, that almost certainly would have been fine.
What if our system is so corrupt that legal investigation and lobbying becomes restricted to a domain in which it can no longer benefit the people?

We have hundreds of analyses already and millions of hours poured into understanding this situation -- the corporate power structure and the unrestricted capitalistic growth of technology. Should people analyze until they are blue in the face?

At some point in many societies, a point of revolution happens because there is no other reliable option, and when such a thing happens, it overrides the morals of the majority simply because those morals only exist to keep a society functioning. But what to do when it no longer can function?

The American goverment frequently decides who lives and who dies and who to kill at war. When that sort of violence flows downwards to those who threaten the existing power structure, it is called policy. When the people take arms against corruption, it is called immoral violence and you bought right into it.
From JavaScript's announcement 29 years ago (https://web.archive.org/web/20070916144913/http://wp.netscap...):

They meet again, at last. The circle is now complete. When JavaScript left Basic it was but the learner. Now, it is the master.

But JavaScript is only a master of evil. It can't win. WebAssembly shall become more powerful than JavaScript can possibly imagine.

ah, yeah.
I’ve got news for you, even in countries with socialized healthcare, not all treatments are automatically approved or approved in a timely manner. There’s ALWAYS a cost-to-benefit ratio that is considered, and it doesn’t always work out in the patient’s favor. I suppose we’d cheer the murder of say the UK’s equivalent of this CEO as well?
If you don't pay taxes it's an incredibly great value and offering.

This is why if you are poor France and can get state help is an excellent choice.

Once you start to pay taxes, or you fit in-between the criterias for eligibility to state help, the costs are much higher than in the neighboring Switzerland for example.
"It is solvable" is equivalent to "politics are not necessary", which I can't agree with.

Agreeing on edits requires a shared context, a shared understanding of the goal and requirements of the text being edited, and a shared projection of how readers should understand the text and how they will understand it instead.

The specific contextual information required for automated editing is dependent on the combined situation of all writers, considering their professional, personal and cultural contexts.

Assuming that context can't be made available in a systematized way, the machine will choose an edit that is not guaranteed to match the intentions and expectations of the people involved. Instead, it will just act as adding one more writer to the mix.
I had several moments in my life where i learned about a thing from its source of truth (documentation, source code, standards) and was infuriated that the common knowledge about it was just wrong. I can give a long list but that would derail the thread.

Fact is, common knowledge is extremely bad, for whatever reason. Stochastic language models are trained on common knowledge.

> It’s a religious drive if you believe that a CEO should be the sacrificial lamb for the systems politicians have set up.

Now that's a strawman. No one believes the CEO should be a sacrificial lamb. But I think many do believe that his killing is justice and may even effect some change due to an intense investigation into American health care.
Honestly I'm just relieved that ChatGPT didn't suggest a div with role="button".

I have spent the last 5 years trying to get a good grasp of semantic and accessible HTML. It seems like every week I find out I was wrong about something I thought I knew. There's a bunch of blog posts out there with conflicting examples, and the only "official" source that's actually readable is the ARIA Practices Guide (APG). Which, by the way, starts off by telling you that "No ARIA is better than Bad ARIA" and recommends that you don’t use any of the code from the "Patterns" pages because reasons.

So to end my rant, I would say that on the one hand, I understand the author's frustration, but on the other, a11y in HTML is a nebulous maze of ARIA attributes and it isn't always clear which element is the "semantic" one for certain use cases.

It is a BASIC based language (and tools - e.g. an IDE, if you wish) that compiles into Javascript.

«windowed based web applications»: since the original PureBasic, the language and tools that compiled to native executables, (also) allowed to build windowed applications (complete original GUIs), SpiderBasic, the product in the same family for the Web, also allows to have windows and desktop-like controls in a webpage (optionally).
