Because of regulatory capture. In essence, TurboTax has been able to purchase legislators who then ensure that tax law is difficult for regular people. This creates a larger market for TurboTax. That's similar (albeit less awful, I admit) to how for-profit prisons are able to purchase legislators to ensure that they are able to fill their cells.

There are some countries that have managed to avoid having tax prep software companies purchasing their legislators. In those countries, the best way to file taxes is basically observing the overview and clicking "yes that's accurate" on a government-provided website.
No, that is just a mistake that Norton makes. The only physical trajectory for a particle starting at the apex at rest is that it will remain at rest.

The other equation that Norton comes up with is not a physical description of a particle at rest, it is a description of a particle which has complex motion (the fourth derivative of its position(t), sometimes called crackle, is 1/6). Basically that means that in every second, its acceleration increases by (1/12s³). An equation of motion that has any non 0 derivative of time is not describing a particle at rest.

Not to mention, branching functions are also not valid equations of motion. You can't take two valid equations of motions and stitch them at some arbitrary time. The same problem will appear on a perfectly flat surface if you do that. I could say that the function f(t) = 0 for t < T, 7t for t >= T is a valid solution to the equations of motion, by the same logic (its second derivative is 0, equal to the net force acting on the particle). This doesn't prove that Netwonian mechanics is non-deterministic, it shows that you can't use functions that arbitrarily change as equations of motion (they just violate Newton's first law).

I agree that typing probably is not the limiting factor in most cases and for most people, and so the conversation might seem a little silly… But that’s precisely because typing is fast. Once you know what you are doing, you start typing and you are done relatively quickly, and probably spent a lot of the time typing thinking about what you would do next… but we are specifically talking about a scenario where typing is the limiting factor, or even entirely infeasible, for a variety of reasons.

Thanks. I updated the original post with an example using the turtle module. I'll admit I don't use Python a lot these days, and didn't know the Tkinter bundling/installation issues had been worked out. In the 2.x days, that was not usually part of the default install.
Correct. But for a long time people claimed no body even lived there.

Historically they were also practically neighbors (Laurasia, around 200 Mya).
Gonna tell you a secret, the world isn't black and white, while there are areas such as the economy where we struggle to compete as an European I would never want to live in the US again (I studied in Columbus Ohio for 7 months as an exchange student at OSU and traveled US multiple times).

The streets here are clean, spotting a homeless person is borderline impossible even if you try, in US I've seen tents, bidonvilles, homelessness everywhere, drugged zombies as soon as you entered the wrong streets in basically every city.

There's much less anxiety around healthcare or education here, violence and crime are very different too. My 180k people city hasn't seen a murder (outside very few caused by family violence, which are virtually the only cause for murders in my country) in decades.

Actually now that I think about it, I also found Canada (where my wife has family that emigrated there 80 years ago) to be better in all those regards. Have you ever crossed from Canada to US at Niagara falls? If you did and walked more than 500 meters you know what I'm talking about.

Mind you, there's no doubt US does many things great, as an engineer and wannabe entrepeneur I know US would've given me more chances, but believe it or not, not everybody wants to live the american way and money isn't everything if you have to use it to feel safer and less anxious in guarded neighbourhoods like some of my best friends in US live in.

There's countless things that US does great, and that does awfully, different people and cultures may weigh the pros/cons differently.
> Is Trump's constant senile yapping about absorbing Canada or Greenland or Panama also proof of how broken the US is?

I mean, the fact that his name is spoken about in public as if this is a serious leader capable of managing a nation's affairs is evidence enough of, yes, broken US.

Situation in Canada isn't awesome. But if there's anything that would bring Canadians together it's listening to blowhard Americans pretend some level of superiority while they elect a game show host and felon to the highest office in their land.

He had no change. He started the rebellion from desperation in the first place. The end came quickly when FSB was threatening the family members of the group leaders.

Putin can be toppled, but it will be just rearrangement among powerful groups. There is no change of popular rebellion or intellectuals pushing change in Russia.
Australia and New Zealand have both free trade and free movement of people between them. They aren't formally linked – free trade is a treaty, free movement of people is just an "arrangement" (not a legally binding agreement under international law, rather a political agreement implemented in each country's immigration law) – but it is all part of the overall multifaceted bilateral relationship.
Yes, I think that's correct.

There was an absolute willingness to allow views in support of a fear narrative win through. (No matter their grounding.) The probing/questioning threads were quickly closed down.

Some of it was done by the social media companies acting at the direction of the state. But much of it was actioned by military information security units acting against the general population.

Interestingly a 45º rotated rectangle using the keys 4 8 6 2 also is divisible by 11. This isn't directly addressed in the solution, although if you change "move both numbers horizontally or vertically by the same distance" to say "and" instead of "or" then it does.

The size/computational complexity of usage also only grows as a polynomial with RSA. But even with this in mind, a quantum computer that can crack in polynomial time is still problematic. While you can increase the key size, the operator of the quantum computer could enlarge his computer, a true cat-and-mouse game. Unlike the current situation where usage complexity grows as a polynomial, while cracking grows exponentially. This difference is the reason why we can pick key sizes where signing/decryption takes a millisecond while cracking it takes (presumably) billions of years.
It’s pretty outlandish. One of the core tenants of EU expansionism and the politics around it is that the applying nations are considered European enough and physically located in Europe in addition to being willing to cooperate with the EU in meeting the general requirements of a member nation.

But just because you’re at least partly in Europe isn’t enough in some cases depending on who you are, and this was used in the aughts as a way to defer any potential membership by Turkey (which at least started the process of joining back then) and Russia (something European politicians didn’t want to even consider) by pointing out how much of their territory is in Asia. Morocco’s self-proclaimed justification was that Spain has a couple of cities in Northern Africa wholly surrounded by Moroccan territory, but Morocco still doesn’t make the cut for EU politicians.

However the Republic of Cyprus is entirely on continental Asia, not wholly in control of the island it claims as its sovereign territory, but considered “culturally European”, so it got in.

Canada is probably more of a Morocco than a Cyprus in this case, not physically in Europe, not even physically proximate to Europe the way at least Cyprus and Morocco are, and probably not considered European-enough.

If this all sounds like crazy EU politics, that’s kind of what it is, but in defense of the crazies here, you have to be a bit crazy when you’re trying to build some kind of weird supranational cultural identity in a place like Europe.

Canada directly borders France (St. Pierre et Miquelon) so if we ignore dragging in the geologists, that's as good an argument as any.
The article might have a point in that US gaming experience is prioritized in western media. But isn't that understandable? The journalists will write for the public that has in general a specific shared history, and that just won't be the same in Vietnam as in the USA.

It also comes across as quite judgemental. For example, F2P isn't or wasn't villainized because it was suited for people without income, it gets criticized for often using gambling mechanics and ultimately costing players a lot more money than games that are available for an upfront price - regardless of in which society.

It's also just not true that the hacker culture around video games gets erased. Just in the last retro gamer (a german video gaming publication, printed) there was a big article about the scene creating cracked and shared versions of early video games, for home PCs.

I'm not sure what Bomba Patch and GTA Motovlog are exactly, but for one they might just collide with the current copyright regime (especially the GTA game, which seems to get sold standalone, so illegally copied) and they also just do not seem to have any web presence properly describing them. Then of course they don't reach a broader audience outside of their established circle, but how is that caused by intolerance and gentrification?
I guess that one can find a political definition of Europe that is lax enough to justify inclusion of these countries if so motivated. Turkey is formally in (suspended) membership negotiations and a major discussion point was that most of its land area is not on the European continent.

Redefining Europe to include Canada would be outright ridiculous. The Union would have to redefine its own identity if it wanted to admit Canada.

I luckily came up with a unique username in the ‘90s. I use it everywhere online . Nobody has tried to impersonate me, at least not yet. It makes me easy to find. It makes it so people who see me on one site know it’s almost definitely the same person they saw on other sites using the same name. It makes it easy for people to contact me if they want to.

If I were to use my real name, it would actually be more confusing because other people share the same real name. It’s not super common, but by no means is it unique.

Of course it takes hardly any effort at all to link my username to my real identity. I understand fully the risks of not being entirely anonymous online. Thankfully it has yet to be a problem. And if there were to be a danger, I wouldn’t rely on something as fragile as digital anonymity to protect me anyway.
No kidding, what an absolutely stupid thing to do as an employer. I (badly) want people who are so interested in the industry that they will research external information and write about it. The correct response for the employer should have been at minimum gratitude and encouragement. Threatening legal action falls under the old adage that "no good deed goes unpunished."

FIPS 140-2 Compliance. FIPS 140-3 adds support for ECC, but it is relatively new, and there aren't a lot of modules that have been certified for it yet, so depending on you your environment and requirements you might still need to use RSA.

Or you are doing a new deployment that needs to be compatible with something that only supports RSA.

Interesting. How do you define "success"? Is the average American Joe really better off than the average European Joe?

In the U.S., a cancer diagnosis can lead to bankruptcy, while treatment is free (or close to free) in most EU countries. Education is largely free as well, and you don't see people walking around armed like they’re in the Marine Corps. So, I'm not sure what benchmark we're using to measure this.
That's the one. Only old fogies (like me) know it I guess. It was the thing we all referred to as the impetus behind DevOps, when it became a thing a decade ago.

Moonshot[1] is another similar game, and a bit more polished. It was abandoned, unfortunately, but it's fun for a few minutes.

- Create SQL credentials for LLM queries that will have limited access (exclude sensitive fields, tables, views etc) and read-only access.

- Use SQL views to avoid/exclude access to specific fields.

App Level:

- Use SQL linters and treat input as a regular user input.

- Convert the SQL query string into a query tree, escape ALL fields and then assemble the query back.

1. Yes, outside the areas where EU has sole responsibility.

2. Yes, within the areas where the EU has exclusive responsibility and to some extent when it shares responsibility with member states.

3. Yes. Any country is free to leave the EU at any time. See Britain.
Makes me wonder if the lowering of prices in this industry is temporary. Currently, the API costs are at an all-time low, but how much of it is subsidized by investor money? Are we going to see increasing prices as the hype goes away and post-nut clarity kicks in the industry?
The thesis of the article is that the code keeps betting better because the model keeps getting told to do better - that it needs more motivation/criticism. A logical conclusion of this, if it were true, is that the model would generate it's best version on first attempt if only we could motivate it to do so! I'm not sure what motivations/threats work best with LLMs - there was a time when offering to pay the LLM was popular, but "my grandma will die if you don't" was also another popular genre of prompts.

If it's not clear, I disagree with the idea that ANY motivational prompt (we can disagree over what would be best to try) could get the model to produce a solution of the same quality as it will when allowed to iterate on it a few times and make incremental improvements. I think it's being allowed to iterate that is improving the solution, not the motivation to "do better!".
A rule I try to follow: don't waste your reader's time.
> “But part of being in the EU should be to maintain non-in versions of all policies so that members can actually negotiate and easily leave without having huge bureaucratic cost.”

So countries should maintain two sets of all regulations — the actual ones and then also parallel hypothetical ones — and this would somehow reduce bureaucratic cost rather than double it?

The execution of Brexit ought to put to rest the notion that “we’ll make our own rules!” somehow would save money or improve anything. Britain has accomplished exactly nothing except recreate local bureaucracies they had already managed to eliminate because of harmonized EU rules.

I find it oddly satisfying that 'classic' or 'vanilla' WoW is still so valued. I really enjoyed playing it. It is the high bar in my book for balance/humor/gameplay/story.

I briefly looked at the mechanics of making an 'infinite' world server with some fellow players, something where the story line evolved but in a way that allowed new players to join and kept existing players engaged. Never allowing the 'gear+talents' overmatch that eventually befell WoW. That is a surprisingly interesting 'problem' to work on, not just from a game play perspective but from an evolutionary systems perspective.

To give an example, in our musings we only "spawn" base level mobs, but people can play the game for free if they are willing to play a mob rather than a hero. If their character survives long enough it uplevels to a silver elite, and then again to a gold elite. At gold status the player has the option of recruiting other mobs to aide it and give them 'tasks' (like protect his other mob, or give your loot to me, Etc). Eventually leading to a player designed dungeon encounter which hero players can play and get XP for as well.
It looks really good for such a simple algorithm. I love this!
