> As I see it, it should go something like this: automation scales to the point where it’s pushing people out of jobs. This scares the working class. It gives them a real reason to go out and force change...

The biggest problem with that idea is that it's highly likely that the working class will wait to take action until long after they've lost the power to succeed at anything they try.

We've already had analogous waves of job losses (e.g. due to NAFTA, the China shock), what happened then? Forget going out an forcing change, the working class lost a lot of their leverage (e.g. factory owner to the workers: give us concessions or we'll move the factory to Mexico more quickly).

A reaction is insufficient. A proactive response is the only thing that can succeed, but that's very hard with a decentralized group like "the working class."

Your GP comment did attack me and mostly focus on me - look at the very first words - not the issue, and so did the parent comment. You still aren't providing the actual contribution you promise, the evidence, nor addressing the issues on their merits. All you have is insults and criticisms of the other participants.

Nobody is interested in that stuff (and it's against the guidelines). Just contribute intelligently to the issue at hand.

> people with actual experience in the field

Perhaps this is all about your claimed expertise - you've repeated it many times and you make a point of emphasizing it and putting down the ideas of others, as if to boost yourself higher by comparison. People here, at least, aren't going to genuflect to self-importance and aggression.

If your expertise is real then you don't need to do those things. Just contribute to the discussion - of the actual issue - with dignity. Plenty of people here have expertise in the topics being discussed; they don't feel the need to bring down others.

> And many of the practically relevant cases can be avoided by using tools such as UBSan.

"can be", but aren't.

> The other fallacy is that these issue then suddenly would disappear when using Rust, which is also not the case. Because the programmer cutting corners in C or prioritizing performance over safety will also use Rust "unsafe" carelessly.

The vast majority of these programmers aren't making a deliberate choice at all though. They pick C because they heard it's fast, they write it in the way that the language nudges them towards, or the way that they see done in libraries and examples, and they end up with unsafe code. Sure, someone can deliberately choose unsafe in Rust, but defaults matter.

> it is also possible to have a clear strategy about what data structure owns what other object in C.

Is it though? How can one distinguish a codebase that does from a codebase that doesn't? Other than the expensive static analysis tool mentioned elsewhere in the thread (at which point you're not really writing "C"), I've never seen a way that worked and was distinguishable from the ways that don't work.
You are talking about prices by themselves without understanding any other variable, without acknowledging anything I said, without reading the blog post. You are making it obvious that terms like "ttm net income per share" are magical spells to you. It's this unwillingness to educate yourself that causes the market to be a complete mystery and ponzi scheme to you. The problem with NVDA is that its reported earnings are not being returned to shareholders, not that its price is seperate from its fundamentals.

One side of the coin is basically softened McCarthyism as a school, which "encourages families to be actively involved in religious organizations of their choice" and [paraphrasing] "supports the national Motto of the United States: In God We Trust."

The other is taking advantage of the angst among professional and white collar parents and runs a curriculum several years ahead of grade level, and takes advantage of filled wait-lists to create high pressure and somewhat rigid environments where kids who don't perform at a high level in even one subject get held back a year and get pressured to leave.

I can't speak to the more "American Exceptionalism" oriented schools as much, despite relative ubiquity - I've heard of them refusing to service IEPs (or resisting doing evals) here and there.

But the BASIS style ones are constantly sending kids back to the public schools that are somewhat psychologicaly damaged despite performing at quite a high level. Typical policies are things like "After grade 9, students must maintain an average score of 3 or above on all AP Exams or the student may not receive full financial support for AP Exams beyond the six that are required for graduation." I have the impression that students go back to publics because of things like not wanting to repeat a year because of struggling with Mandarin and developing self esteem issues. I think they (BASIS) also have non required courses available that have extra fees associated and aren't actually included with the state funded enrollment.

Both angles are able to effectively select student populations that cost less to serve than the student population overall and avoid IEP kids and services for them.

Obviously there are others, but anecdotally, other types don't seem to have a lot of longevity.
Yeah, but I bet they just pass any resulting weregild right back on to the customer...
Oh please, are we at the point now where we're thinking that a selfless act (somebody giving you your lost wallet) is analogous to someone trying to make money by contacting you?

Lots of swamp gas, very few independent observers.
No. I'm drawing a distinction between “I want to sell you something” and “click this link to a website that strongly resembles, but is not, YourBank to transfer all your money to us.”
Mark my words, this will turn out to be a form of mass hysteria.
Unfortunately schools err on the side of IEP kids because not enough non-IEP kids' families sue them for being denied FAPE because of the classroom antics of severe children being mainstreamed. (Whereas they are frequently in litigation with insane parents of IEP kids.)
It’s also pretty evocative language, which is probably why he’s the guy who wrote it. It’s something you can see in your mind, and when you see it you get a sense of its gravity.

Largely because in the Arm and RISC-V worlds company A designs the CPU core, then at some point company B decides to license the core to make an SoC and starts designing it. Then company C manufactures the chip. Then when the chip is available companies D, E, F design boards for the chip to go on.

Traditionally in x86 Intel and AMD do all the first three steps in one company, with the stages overlapped, and feedback.

Also, Intel and AMD (and even more so Apple) don't announce a new chip until it is very close to shipping. They might have been working on it internally for five years before that.

Arm and RISC-V companies have to make public announcements when a core is nearing design completion, to give a chance for companies such as Allwinner and Rockchip and Broadcom and Mediatek and Sophgo and Starfive to take a look at the specs and decide that it might be interesting to build a chip using that core.

> I know the round trip time from the foundries is ~3 months.

That's only if the chip works first time. Many don't and need several re-spins. I believe 3 or 4 is not uncommon. And variable amounts of re-design and re-layout and re-verify time between each of those ~3 months at the foundry.

Given that, it would be a brave company that went straight to mass-production without a round of test chips first, so you've got 2x ~3 months, plus "bring up" time in between, even in the best case.
Even if it did dial home, do you think Apple is going to come after you, single human being, running BS-tier workloads on a VM you're technically not licensed to run? They are a $1T company or thereabouts, they literally do not care about you.

A government that tries to proactively identify ways that someone could make money in a way that could be harmful or helpful to people who aren't involved in the transaction, and tax those things based on to the degree that they are harmful, and subsidize them to the degree that they are helpful. The government should also take actions to prevent monopolies from forming, and to make sure everyone has as much information as possible before making a transaction.
All of the media sightings I have seen about these so far has been low flying. I don't deny that we have very high flying drones but I doubt they would be tested without NOTAMs (over CONUS).

> Your answer sounds official. Is this an official answer from someone in the military or IC?

Not official - I have not been part of the IC for about a year now. I can't talk about my background there without doxxing.

> How does the purpose of the Maven drone program you mention resolve the contradiction of testing a classified program that cannot be acknowledged, over civilian areas willy nilly?

I don't think I can answer this without doxxing or leaking, but there are a lot of public communications on MSS, its goals, what it involves, etc. and its recent expansions.

> These were also spotted in the UK over multiple bases (RAF Lakenheath, etc). Even if this were a test of our own technology, there's a lot of risk, and a lot of unknown and concern among officials who are in the dark, which creates more risk. It does not scan.

I haven't seen any reports of these; my gut reaction would be to suspect these are not drones and just regular aircraft. I wouldn't rule out drone tech (UK is in FVEY) but don't think it is likely.

I'm not saying it is necessarily ethical or a correct thing that these programs have such infrequent and limited oversight. I'm just quoting the reality (at least up to last year).

> You seem to be saying you have the answers. Is that how you feel? Is that what you're saying?

I'm just applying a framework that typically works for me and my existing knowledge of these programs. I'm not actively in the IC and can't definitely say I'm 100% right, but I don't see any other explanations at this point.

If you are looking for 100% answers there are probably entire chatrooms and threads dedicated to this on chatsurfer by now :)
Yes, exactly. So, this is a huge security gap.

I believe so too.

My own discussions with advertisers have revealed a growing interest around the concept of conversational-based targeting (see website) and advertising. But, many are still skeptic and require additional CTR and ROI data, which is not possible since there's nothing like this on the market yet.

Ads shown would be dependent on the partner platform. For example, a platform like Cursor could deploy a simple agent dedicated to monitoring the conversation thread for ad invocation and display. This agent would be instructed to display only a limited number of them per conversation (e.g., 2 ads), based on a high-level summary + demographic information. The ad package returned would provide the text-ad itself, url link, and other necessary information. Finally, Cursor would showcase this ad within the chat tab itself, let's say after the LLM's response.

Also, after speaking with many users, it seems there's a willingness to make the tradeoff as long as ads are clearly separate from original LLM outputs, not overly targeted, infrequent, and accompanied by a clear reason for being shown. Also, only high-level contextual information + demographic data are shared. These requirements are definitely achievable.

Finally, pricing can only really be sorted if we have willing partners on both sides.

As of now, convincing advertisers and developers has proven to be difficult. It feels as if I'm speaking alien sometimes. I thank you for seeing the vision.

A disconnect I often wonder about:

People talking about API design: zillions of good discussions online, papers written, standards created, thousands of hours of talks at dev conferences, heated debates that nearly venture into philosophy.

People implementing APIs: return a 200 response for everything, even an error ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I know that the people giving talks at strangeloop aren’t always the same people that implement OAuth, but still!! What’s it all for?

One guy’s PhD dissertation made us switch from XML to JSON, but beyond that you can rarely count on standards. Least of all REST, even when an API is supposedly REST.

Setting up about a dozen OAuth connections to social media ad platforms this year has made me realize that if an API is not a direct revenue stream, it is likely to be pretty bad. And have out-of-date or incomplete documentation.

Of course the government can control the weather, what are you on about:

> In the United States, cloud seeding is used to increase precipitation in areas experiencing drought, to reduce the size of hailstones that form in thunderstorms, and to reduce the amount of fog in and around airports. In the summer of 1948, the usually humid city of Alexandria, Louisiana, under Mayor Carl B. Close, seeded a cloud with dry ice at the municipal airport during a drought; quickly 0.85 inches (22 mm) of rain fell.[77]

> Major ski resorts occasionally use cloud seeding to induce snowfall. Eleven western states and one Canadian province (Alberta) had ongoing weather modification operational programs in 2012.[78] In 2006, an $8.8 million project began in Wyoming to examine cloud seeding's effects on snowfall over Wyoming's Medicine Bow, Sierra Madre, and Wind River mountain ranges.[79]

> In Oregon, Portland General Electric used Hood River seeding to produce snow for hydro power in 1974-1975. The results were substantial, but caused an undue burden on the locals, who experienced overpowering rainfall, causing street collapses and mudslides. PGE discontinued its seeding practices the next year.[80]

> In 1978, the U.S. signed the Environmental Modification Convention, which bans the use of weather modification for hostile purposes.[81]

> As of 2022, seven agencies in California are conducting cloud seeding operations using silver iodide, including the Sacramento Municipal Utility District, which began employing the technique in 1969 to increase the water supply to its hydroelectric power plants, and reported that it results in "an average of 3 to 10% increase in [Sierra Nevada] snowpack".[82]

> So you think the military and intelligence has technology that is so secret they won't admit to it

It’s more like “does not have to disclose anything so chooses not to”.

When you are in the long game of keeping your information and intentions secret, you don’t reveal anything if you don’t have to. They do need to test low flying aircraft in populous areas. They don’t need to say anything about it.

It’s like when you’re a kid, and your friends are trying to get you to admit who you have a crush on. If you actually want to keep it secret, you have to provide the same response to every question they ask, otherwise you are revealing information. If you say “no” truthfully to some questions but then refuse to say “no” untruthfully to other questions, then they can just pepper you with enough questions to triangulate what they want to know. Or you can just say “no comment” to everything but people take that worse.
> Yes this is exactly it, any remote thing that can disqualify people that is today forgiven...

No that's not at all "exactly it." Do you realize you're moving the goalposts?

Looking for flaws in an applications according to existing critera is totally different than somehow retroactively declaring the previous regulations were invalid and screwing everyone who relied on them by revoking their naturalization.

> where Chevron comes in, that a lot of these norms are rules within departments where such things can be evaluated

Chevron says if there's a controversy over those things, a court needs to resolve it without giving total deference to the department. It doesn't say those "norms are rules" must be struck down, it just says a court will decided if they're following the law.

> but Project 2025 says if it isn't a law or statute then it doesn't matter, and that includes any concept of a person living here but not a full, naturalized citizen.

You seem to be saying here that there's no law or statute that allows for any state besides "full, naturalized citizen," and that's just so totally not true that it's bonkers you're claiming it.
Well, yes. This is why preprocessor macros should have obvious, inconvenient naming conventions. And should be avoided in favor of more modern (better-behaved) features when possible.
