How exactly do you propose to prove something (planting evidence) didn't happen?

Maybe I have too low expectation about USA interface between law enforcement and judiciary, but here in Poland there were many high-profile cases of misconduct of public prosecutors that colluded with the police. The only "proven" cases were about purposefuly destroying evidence: breaking CDs that held incriminating recordings, wiping weapons to remove fingerprints, agreeing to single version of testimony etc. They used procedural quirks to prevent defence from challenging those "mishaps" (like in one high-profile case with broken CD, they argued defence-held copy cannot be submitted, because of continuous custody requirements). Cases with planted evidence were always he-said-she-said, because when police writes a search report where they said you had something, then you have no way to challenge that.

May I add, fraud around those arrest/search reports (however they're called it English) is rampant. It starts with simple things, like notifying the subject about right to attorney. They just tick a box that you declined to summon attorney, and you have no way to challenge that, other than refusing to sign the paper, act of which carries no value.

> Worth noting that other capitalist countries put better brakes on those feedback loops

Seeing how the wealth gap is increasing between them and the US, most politicians and wealthy individuals are doing all they can to remove those brakes, pushing evermore to follow the US. Defund, privatize, deregulate.
There used to be a few sites (what.cd? waffles?) that, while officially pirate / torrent sites, were treasure troves of rare music; unpublished stuff, limited issue tapes from music markets, bootlegs / live recordings, FLAC versions of vinyls (which, at least for a while, had improved dynamic range compared to CDs, think music without the loudness war stuff), etc.

Of course, the music industry went after them once it was discovered they weren't actually a waffle recipe website, and the sites were taken down. I hope the copies and archives continue to live on on data hoarders' systems.

I agree with the initial two bullet points. The git data structures are good, the git CLI is bad.

However, the issue with these attempts to create a user-friendly wrapper over the git data-structures, is that that’s what the git CLI already is. The ideal form of git that you explain to beginners is `git switch -c branch-name`, `git commit`, `git push`. This is not any more complicated than OP’s `sg create`, `sg save`, `sg submit`.

The issue with the git CLI is that it doesn’t expose commands for working with raw git data structures. This prohibits people developing an understanding of what the git commands are actually doing.

I’m at the point where I understand git well enough that I’m very rarely in the situation that OP describes, of guessing whether a git command will work, or asking ChatGTP for help. However I’ve gotten here by slowly memorizing what every git CLI command does to the underlying git data structures.

`git commit` creates a commit and updates the current branch pointer. `git commit --amend` created a new commit with a parent that is the commit before the commit at the HEAD pointer and updates the branch pointer. `git reset --hard` updates the current branch pointer and the files to match. `git push` runs `git fetch` and then `git merge`. `git merge` creates a new commit with two (or more) parent commits and then updates both branch pointers (if applicable) to point to the new commit. etc. etc. etc.

So I hate the git CLI because it tries to be beginner friendly by supporting a ‘normal coding workflow’ and it ends up being more complicated than just understanding the raw git data-structures.

I think it might start at 2 or 3 minutes, but from then on it's in 1 minute increments up to at least 10, and I think even 15 minutes. I believe the maximum on the system is 120 minutes delay, after which (or if it's not sure) it switches to "Unbestimmte Verspaetung" (unknown delay).

You can certainly find a 4min, a 5min, and a 6min on the linked page.

The message "Bitte nicht / einsteigen" (please do not board) always used to be split over two flaps. This caused some humor whenever the first one got stuck, so what was supposed to read "Olten / Basel" ended up as "Bitte nicht / Basel" which roughly reads as "Please don't take me to Basel!", a sentiment that a lot of people in Zurich would agree with.
Sorry but you are not correct. If you find the number of calories you burn daily with your current diet, and you eat 500 calories below that, I will bet you $1000 that you can't find any combination of foods, whether its pure corn syrup or pure hog fat or anything else that cause you to gain weight as long as you keep the calories below that threshold. I'll bet another $1000 that there are no foods you can find where you don't gain weight eating 500 above that threshold.

Show me the study that says otherwise. The "complex interaction" theory is just an excuse used by people for failing to cut calories enough to lose weight. Notice that people taking GLP1 drugs don't have to adjust for all these complexities at all.

I think that this is now a very fringe position - the accumulation of reported evidence is such that if folks were/are fooling themselves it would now be a case of an entire community conspiring to keep things quiet. I mean, it's not impossible that could happen, but I think it would be extraordinary.

On the other hand the question is what does "real QC" mean? The current QC's perform very limited and small computations, they lack things like quantum memory. The large versions are extremely impractical to use in the sense that they run for 1000ths of a second and take many hours to setup for a run. But that doesn't mean that the physical effects that they use/capture aren't real.

Just a long long way from practical.
I agree it would be interesting and a fun project! Correct me if I'm wrong, but the problem with PGO is that every time the code changes the PGO needs to be updated as well. Also, my past experience with PGO (for the GraalVM native-image) is that it improves a bit, but not much. Maybe 50% at best. But again, the only way to know for sure is to do it and measure it. That's something we should definitely dig deeper to see what kind of difference (in practice) it can make.

The main advantage of Gentoo is not building from source. One could argue that's the main disadvantage of Gentoo.

An ordinary Linux can be configured by installing pre-compiled packages. The system either has the package or not. Gentoo allows the package itself to be configured. Think of package ./configure arguments; they're abstracted as "USE flags" in Gentoo and allow tweaking the package internal configuration. It also allows modifying the environment variables used during the build. Setting CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS allows optimizing for the system's CPU instead of doing a generic x86-64 build.
I strongly disagree. A huge power gap is a huge problem.

A tiny group of people have an enormous amount of power over the rest of us. I still call that a big problem even if we have food and material goods.

>and the majority that do suffer addiction or mental illness.

This is also a problem, and a great example of something we could easily fix if power was not concentrated in the hands of a tiny few.

Can anyone explain why this could be a good tax because I'm not seeing it? On the surface this seems incredibly stupid.

* Not taxing money directly but instead "usage."

* Taxing behavior you're trying to encourage.

* Pushing businesses away from software that allows for environmentally sound practices like paperless operations and remote work.

* "Cloud computing" is effectively a proxy for business activity and it's a really bad one.
It seems that people are increasingly convinced that “in this country it is necessary, now and then, to put one health insurance exec to death in order to inspire the others to pay”.

Cattle produce a normal amount of methane for ruminants, and we evolved to eat ruminants, following them around in their migrations, and eating grass indirectly through them. I was a vegan for years and my health deteriorated. I honestly believe that I would be dead now if I didn't change. I do not feel morally ambiguous about eating the food that I was evolved to eat, for the purpose of my own survival, and emitting the necessary quantity of greenhouse gasses in the process.

I'm not willing to live the smallest, least healthy life I can tolerate in order to make room for more people to do the same. A high population count does not strike me as a worthy goal, but a healthy and happy one does.

I'm not sure people are actually leading pretty decent lives. The people I know are working stressful dead end jobs and living with roommates in order to barely make ends meet. They don't have much prospect of improving their lot because doing so requires capital that they don't have (e.g. to start a business or go to college). Even though they have health insurance, they avoid going to the doctor unless absolutely necessary because they can't afford the co-pay. In some cases the states that they live in actively seek to discriminate against them.
If there is evidence against you, you surely have the right to know of it and to contest it! That's pretty fundamental to any reasonable justice system.

And if the nuggets have sufficiently small surface area then the rate of these events would be low enough to be obscured by the background from other processes. It would not be like the annihilation from antihydrogen atoms hitting hydrogen atoms. The density of nuclear matter is some 15 orders of magnitude higher than ordinary matter, so nuggets 1 angstrom in diameter could have 10^15 times the mass for a given upper bound on the interaction rate with ambient gas.

Well, the internet has finally helped realize the politician's dream - making the voter believe that:

1. They are in the right (no pun intended) group
2. All other groups are in the wrong
3. Their leader cares about them
4. He/she has the solution

When the reality is:

1. Most of us are in the same group
2. The group is of screwed over people
3. The leaders only care about gaining and staying in power
4. Why would the leaders find any solution that won't help with gaining and staying in power?

Extreme real-time control with total control over jitter etc. Not only fast response time but predictable.
Think of it like this: don't ask it to construct the query, ask it for the parts of the query, in a predefined format. Then populate one of many pre-defined templates with the values.

For example, you might have ten types of queries. Each query will have parameters and a classification/description. Get the classification, and get the parameters, and stick them into your respective template.

This gives you way more safety and predictability.

I've gone through the whole gamut to do this since first using the GPT's API in early 2023.

As first I was asking for HTML with few-shot since getting reliable JSON was impossible. Then I switched to function calling with JSON mode when that was released later in 2023, but still with fallbacks because sometimes it would spit out markdown with JSON inside, and other fun mistakes. Finally summer 2024 strict mode became available which "guarantees" a well-formed JSON response corresponding to a given schema. I've run hundreds of thousands of queries through that and have not had a formatting issue (yet).
I previously used wisebanyan which was a robo advisor with zero fees (their model was to charge more for add-ons like tax loss harvesting). Then they added small portfolio management fees... Then they sold to another institution and my fees are now inline with every other roboadvisor.

What would you say to someone who is skeptical about the long term viablity of your low fee promise?
FZROX gives me 0% fees, can be bought in my retirement accounts, and is attached to a company with something like $1 trillion AUM. The latter gives me faith that it will still be around next year. I appreciate that the 0% fee options are limited, but personally I’d rather deal with 0.03% fees than entrust my money to a small shop. Especially when the reason to do so is not some trading edge, but saving a small amount on fees. I think this is going to be the main barrier to getting people to sign up.

I would say that this is not only one of its proposes, but by far the most important. The system primarily prevents violence by convincing people they don’t need to commit violence to achieve justice.

If that starts to break down, people in power need to wake up and fix it. The system does not, cannot, protect them from the masses entirely by force. I fear that they have forgotten.
I used BareMetal and Pure64 as a source of inspiration and knowledge while writing an OS as a student. It is simple and well written.

I miss the days of reading AMD64 manuals and directly interacting with my hardware through assembly, and I want to get back to it.

What would be a good entry-point to OS development nowadays?
I have the "FYSOS: The System Core" by Benjamin David Lunt. While I love the series, I wonder what other alternatives there are, perhaps supporting ARM?
Presumably a combination of a flat-rate fee ($1/user/month) and payment for order flow.

PFOF is a big moneymaker for Robinhood, but you get paid the more your users trade so people doing buy-and-hold index funds probably earn you less that way.

If you can keep expenses super low maybe this can work. But my sense is that costs are pretty flat regardless of how many users you have, so this probably needs to get pretty big to finance itself.

> For example, minijava-cpp is a MiniJava compiler written in C++ which has some pretty heavy code in it. It compiles in ~0.7s in my laptop, while linking all these separate files takes much longer.

I can't reproduce this result at all. Using compile.sh it takes my 7950x 0.9s to compile the whole project. A quick meson/ninja setup took 0.8s from a clean build directory, and just 0.043s to link using gnu-ld. Using faster linkers yields even better results: 0.025s for gold and 0.013s for mold. I'm curious how you got your results?

> SQLite, too, compiles everything into a single .c program.

It takes my computer 25 seconds to compile sqlite when making incremental changes. My work's similarly sized C++(!) repo links 3 executables in 0.07s using mold.

I'm having a really hard time seeing how unity builds could possibly be faster. Maybe with an exceedingly terrible linker or spinning rust?
Is the plan to make money from stock lending?
Depends on criticality. Yes, the US beats Canada for example on wait time in a lot of cases, however, as a Canadian I can walk into a ER and not have a co-pay.

I had my appendix out a few years ago, I walked into the ER at 2PM, had the surgery done by midnight, and was able to be discharged by 9AM the next day. The only cost was my parking, because I drove myself over. Meanwhile, I've also had friends in the US who were clearly quite ill, and made the conscious decision to not go to the ER because it would have cost them hundreds of dollars.

It's all a balance, but I'm happier with my single pay system, because for the most part, health decisions aren't at the whim of my bank balance being too low. I personally wouldn't be as disappointed in the US system, if the reason someone can get a surgery immediately didn't balance out with something like UnitedHealthcare's 32% rejection rate, because someone wanted a $10MM / yr salary or a $40MM yacht.
You really shouldn't listen to too many people. The only thing that counts is paying customers; everything else is just jealous people.
