Murder is already illegal, and threatening to murder someone is already illegal. Any further legislation, the burden of proof is on them not on me or the parent poster. Otherwise one day they might claim that me taking a shit will lead to their murder and have my toilets removed.

As a sibling comment mentioned, translation is not linear so say you want to move your box a bit to the left. You can't do this by multiplication by any 2x2 matrix. This is because what you need is an affine transform and what you have is a linear transform. So you can scale things, rotate them and shear them (squish them along the diagonals) but what you can
I have a 3.5 year old son and the thought HAS occurred to me- "if we never learned to 'behave' (i.e., conform to societal norms), would we all just continue to be little selfish dopamine monsters?" lol

You might say the foundation of polite society itself rests heavily on the shoulders of millions of weary parents with varying amounts of care and effort expended

I wouldn't say that, necessarily. It's hard to tell the difference between a good predictor who got unlucky vs a bad predictor who got lucky, at a glance (it's also hard to discern which bets were placed "for fun" vs as a rational choice).
I would say they are specified well, but the ramifications of those specifications are not politically palatable much of the time.

As a current event, look at the push to reinterpret the Fourteenth Amendment provision on birthright citizenship. That provision is written quite clearly, but people do not like what it says and as a result we may as a country go through a period where we ignore it.
> Maps are similar, but have internal data structures that require initialization, thus cannot be reliably used when zeroed.

Its a performance thing, the map structure requires a heap allocation even with zero elements. This is because the map structure is type generic without being fully monomorphized.
Fair point. But they were 30K _paying_ users, which is a huge difference. What's the free-to-paying users in a service like the OP's?
Agreed that getting into the weeds has always been difficult. Especially if you needed it to go fast. Just setting up a double buffered set of screens was easy enough, though?
Got it, the Brachistochrone curve is a good suggestion, and I’ll keep working on improving this feature.
Stack Overflow was an example of this. They had a relatively small dev team and they also maintained a very small hardware footprint for delivering their product. Over time they expanded their scope into products beyond the Stack Overflow and Stack Exchange sites which seems to have increased their team size.

At least a big part of their success was containing technical by avoiding product debt. They had a clear vision and very tight control of their product which is different from 99% of startups. They were experimenting but not throwing any crap at the wall which was never cleaned up or iterated on.

There was a very strong product-engineering connection and alignment which is unusual. Misalignment there is the genesis of much tech debt. Many product features are thrown out with little iteration to get them right but use "shipping so we can iterate" as an excuse to throw them out to users.
Too bad the Grit.io guy doesn’t use his considerable resources to learn how to enunciate clearly.

It's The Office of the 50s-80s.

Amazingly it wasn't translated into English until 2017, which is probably why it's lesser known outside of Europe. I assume this is because the translation rights/contracts with Mr. De Mesmaeker took a long time to get signed.

And for all of the benefits of process, I have never met a level of documentation, verification, or testing that matches the advantages of having the entire code base originating from one mind.

Generally this is not tractable because it cannot scale. But there are certain applications where it scales fine.
Plenty of European countries have a work vehicle loophole, though it's not as big as the US one.

Generally it's something along the lines of "a truck or van registered to a business is assumed to be a work vehicle, so pays less tax than a passenger car".

Of course you need to have a business to take advantage of that loophole, but it doesn't need to be a business that actually has any use for the truck- it could be a one-person IT consultancy.

Can't the stale bot already do this?
I am sorry for the confusion in my article. I should have probably clarified that this is a 2D point in a 2D space. To make the transformations work correctly you need to represent a 2D point as a 3x1 matrix.
And if you want to perform the same in a 3D space, then a 3D point should be represented as a 4x1 matrix, where the last row is always 1.
"case of severe malaria in the form of a respiratory illness"

Does Plasmodium do that? Sure was news to me!

I guess the main question then becomes, is it spreading in a highly unorthodox manner, by respiratory droplets, or are the familial clusters etcetera just an artifact of similar exposure to infected mosquitos?

I can see how it might not take a whole lot of mutations to get a strain with elevated affinity for the lungs, and it's not like they take an insignificant share of the blood-flow at any given time in the first place.

No, it does seem to be known actually.
Wikipedia has a fair bit about it under "Complications" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaria#Complications (as well as some under "Cause")

Okay, still horrible for the afflicted, but almost certainly not anything explosively contagious then, and well understood as well as generally treatable and preventable, unless e.g. severe lack of resources prevents that.
Yes, both Argentina and Brazil could produce nuclear weapons, given enough time and effort, but neither one of them has ever had them. Neither does either country currently have plans to produce or acquire nuclear weapons, as far as is publicly known. So they are not examples of countries that gave up nuclear weapons.

A nuclear submarine is also not what is meant by "nuclear weapon", although it is arguably a weapon and has the word "nuclear" in its name. The phrase "nuclear weapon" conventionally refers to "atomic bombs" and "hydrogen bombs", which are bombs powered by respectively fission and fusion. A nuclear submarine is just a regular submarine powered by a nuclear reactor. Brazil already has many nuclear reactors that are in some sense "totally based on Brazilian technology" and has for decades.
The Windows PIN is just a local password that isn't tied to a cloud account or ever sent across the network. Mine is a full text password, it doesn't have to be numeric.

I haven't tried it but it should also work with "Windows Hello" supported face or fingerprint recognition.
I don't particularly like Tintin, but I was watching it with a kid and was pleasantly surprised. In the end, it was a better adventure movie than the last Indiana Jones film. The chase scene in Moroccan streets was somehow much better than the similar Tuk Tuk scene in "The Dial of Destiny" - I guess seeing CGI in a cartoon doesn't look out of place, while it didn't look close to natural in DoD.
Oppositional Defiance Disorder?
We are likely comparing different scenarios, then? I'd assume defense has a different set of requirements from infiltration.

To be sure, you need a lot more flexibility for defense that projects farther than you can put a stake in the ground. (Well, tethers in the water, here.) But I would assume you could almost certainly invest in and build both?
If you are in the EU or the UK then copyright on Tintin will not expire for another 29 years.

In the UK they apparently have a maximum 95 year term.

EU law was harmonised by setting minimum (not not maximum for some reason) terms of life +70 for most things (I think recorded music is an exception).
I was curious how it would perform with prompt enhancement turned off. Here's a single attempt (no regenerations etc.): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=730cb2qozcM

If you'd like to replicate, the sign-up process was very easy and I was easily able to run a single generation attempt. Maybe later when I want to generate video I'll use prompt enhancement. Without it, the video appears to have lost a notion of direction. Most image-generation models I'm aware of do prompt-enhancement. I've seen it on Grok+Flow/Aurora and ChatGPT+DallE.

I won through a little bit of advice suggested by a layperson. I simply got the case moved to another room. The old judge hated us and the new judge loved us. All we had to do was decline magistrate jurisdiction. My lawyer was really reluctant for reasons I believe had to do with his standing with the court and not my case. And to think that layperson could be jailed for suggesting it.

Not the person you are asking but alternatives I can think of are:

- Configure forums using ranks so that new users can post but nobody will see their post until a moderator approves or other members vouch for them. Some forums already have this capability. It's high maintenance though and shady people will still try to warm up accounts just like they do here at HN.

- Small communities make their sites invite only and password protect the web interface. This is also already a thing but those communities usually stay quite small. Some prefer small communities. quality over quantity, or real friends over bloated "friends" lists which is common on big platforms.

- Move to Tor onion sites so that one has more time to respond to a flagged post. Non tor sites get abused by people running scripts that upload CSAM, then snapshot it despite them being the ones uploading it, automatically submit to registrars, server and CDN providers so the domains and rented infrastructure get cancelled. This pushes everyone onto big centralized sites and I would not be surprised if some of them were people with a vested interest in doing so.

Not really great options but they do exist. Some use these options to stay off the radar being less likely to attract the unstable people or lazy agents trying to inflate their numbers. I suppose now we can add to the list government agencies trying to profiteer of this new law. Gamification of the legal system, as if weaponization of it were not bad enough.

What people used to like about Rails, those haven't changed and it is also much better than before. ( Would still want more on Auth )

Hotwire, with Turbo. It has been improved and used in production for quite some time. This also got boosted a lot with JS front end fatigue.

Performance. Even by default Ruby 3.4 is quite a lot faster than 2.x era. But with YJIT it is in some cases nearly double and ~30-50% faster in Rails.

Whatever performance issues there used to be? We will have 256 Core Server in next 12 months, or 512 CPU Core in Dual Socket Setup. CPU Core is getting cheaper and faster.

I always like to say Ruby is the only Top programming language that doesn't have a big tech backer behind it. And it only recently found one. Shopify could now single handedly sustain the whole Ruby Rails ecosystem. It also means the whole ecosystem gets a lot more resources than it used to. ( YJIT is from Shopify )
Ill give you that nil is a fine default for pointers, and pointer like things (interfaces, maps, slices). Its mostly fine to use empty string. However 0 has semantic meaning for just about every serialized numeric type I've ever encountered. The zero value also does really poorly for PUT style apis, "did the user forget to send this or did they mean to set this field to empty string" is very poorly expressed in Go and often has footguns around adding new fields.

I tried using this but it was too onerous to import my existing list of books I’ve read (1000+). So I gave up after a bit. I usually don’t really have trouble finding books to read anyway.

BTW my library (and probably yours too) has a free service where librarians will actually recommend books for you based on other books you liked or other criteria. I found those recommendations to be very good.
Like a market it's very complicated with many feedbacks and value judgements. For example "How much of my time is it worth sitting in traffic to get to my preferred store across town vs the closer one?"

It's a bit like queueing. The cost isn't monetary.
It's expected, I'm sure. But there is not an inherent law of the universe that requires companies to provide support for their services or products.

> Mostly, I think, legalese is a collection of superstitous incantations built up over millenia, which lawyers use because "you need to say it exactly like this or vague, bad stuff will happen." Except sometimes the superstitions are right.

If the American legal system is any indication, the vague, bad stuff is the desired outcome.

It's amazing the regulations that the EU has where it says "no, do not do this", and not only do people generally not do it, the people who do get caught doing it are fined into oblivion for it. There's no culture of hiring teams of lawyers to poke holes in the law to get around something society clearly desired, because the court is going to do what society desired.

Why, yes, I am talking about data privacy, but there are other examples.
Thanks for your comments. Absolutely, as we were mentioning in one of the other threads, we are really keen on building towards having a reproducible dashboard of efficiency and other metrics.

Also regarding the no rate limits, we agree this is a real challenge and it's part of why we're interested in building this as well. I think the clever GPU utilization tricks are exactly what we're building out and also looking forward to see what the various issues we're going to run into at such scale.

The standard set optimizes for mass production. All pieces except the knight can be turned on a lathe, with minor post-processing to cut notches in the rook and bishop.

Older chess sets like the Lewis Chessmen from the 1200s look substantially different, having both better aesthetics and usability than the currently popular set. Like having a bishop that is recognizable as a bishop, not a medium-height round thing with a notch in the top.

If you don't want to imitate the standard chess set, improving on it isn't that difficult as long as you don't care about mass production from wood. This set somehow manages to be worse
With a password manager storing unique passwords, your password is still being sent over the network to that website each time you log in.

With a password manager storing passkeys, your private passkey is not transmitted as part of the website request. It can't be intercepted or accidentally/negligently stored in plaintext in a database or server logs.

You still have to trust the secure syncing of your passkeys, just like you do with passwords, but there are still fewer threat vectors than with passwords.

Given the intent to have relatively straightforward C code and a tiny runtime, you pretty much have to ditch them or you're not going to get anywhere at all.

Plus honestly most of the uses of continuations that would make sense in the sort of relatively low level code this is aimed at can be built out of a few special purpose macros (and possibly a small amount of crying) - scheme code tends to lean on first class continuations for a lot of things that don't really need them, Because It Can.

e.g. Paul Graham's On Lisp shows how to build (a subset of) continuations out of macros, and getting something like clojure's 'recur' out of that would probably give you simpler macros than pg's code uses.

That's not true at all. Law is written like it is because courts give a lot of importance to what is written and changes in these written forms have many possible consequences. This, combined with the fact that our judicial principles go very far back (starting already in ancient times with the Romans), makes it very inconvenient to change language and terms used.

Great, so definitions have scope applied to them. Sounds like definitions defined in chapter 1, article 1 are global while the lexical scope is just a local. We should force them to use the key word "let" in front of the term (or which ever equivalent for your favorite language).

I meant more generally. The 3rd and 4th were very unstable and struggled to function under regular conditions. There were many governments that didn't survive more than a few months, and the average was around a year. As a result long term planning and serious policy making were really really hard to achieve (e.g. the disaster of appeasement).

I love how this got downvoted. I literally consulted on the draft legislation.
Seems completely mistaken and ignores work on declarative vs procedural writing, principles vs rules, etc. Minimizing cognitive load for the reader ("plain language") is useful in some cases and a complete mistake in others.
I threw in the towel long ago before any of these laws with massive fines were put in place. People were already running scripts to upload CSAM then report their own CSAM automatically to registrars, dns providers, CDN's, etc... This was around the time a couple alternatives to Akamai CDN's were growing really fast and I have my suspicions about who these people are but either way I got rid of my forums and stopped lurking here. It has been a wonderful 9 year vacation.
New York attorney here. You're kind of getting it, though put in a silly way. It's not that "vague, bad stuff will happen" it's that, in common law jurisdictions at least, precedent controls. So if you use language that has been upheld for decades or even centuries you can be as confident as possible that whatever you're doing will also be upheld. Any novelty or variation introduces greater risk of a ruling against you. This naturally creates inertia and a conservative approach in legal practice.
nah it's pretty clear at this point agile is mainly waterfall with more unnecessary meetings and stress.
